A girl named Ming Yue had a rough past but gets a second chance once she becomes a goddess. Her first case of helping others after her ascension was a man named Lan Xichen. The aftermath of Guanyin temple took a huge toll on Lan Xichen and went into...
Lan Qiren liked the idea of having Lan Xichen go explore for a while. He suggested that Wangji and Wuxian go as well as it might do some good in helping them learn to work together again. Xichen didn't mind as long as he could spend time with Ming Yue. Lan Qiren sent word that the Chief Cultivator is out for a night hunt for a few weeks and will return next month for the monthly conference meeting. Lan Qiren would take over the sect duty for now. With that, the four went on their way.
"Are you sure you want to come with me?" Ming Yue asked.
"Yes, where are you needed?" Xichen asked.
Ming Yue looked at Wuxian, "Lotus Pier," she answered.
Wei Wuxian's heart stopped. He wasn't expecting to ever go back there. His eyes flashed red before going to silver, "tell me you are joking?" He asked.
"No, I had these plans for a while now, if you do not want to follow along, then leave," Ming Yue said as a pair of glistening white wings popped out of we back. They looked like giant dove wings, "up to you, I have to go," she said and took off into the sky.
"Wei Ying, whatever happens, I am here, she means no harm," Wangji told him.
"I know, I'm not worried about her..." he said.
"I know," Wangji said as he watched Xichen hop on Shuoyue and fly after Ming Yue, "let's go," he then pulled Wuxian close and hopped on Bichen together and flew off.
Ming Yue landed on the docks of Lotus Pier and put her wings away. The other three landed behind her not long after she did. Xichen went beside her while Wangji was standing beside Wuxian, trying to make sure that he is okay. Ming Yue went straight to the front gates of the Jiang Sect.
"Why are we here?" Xichen asked.
"Jiang Wanyin is next in my list...but he is not going to get it easy from me," she said, "he still has anger issues and is trying to make it difficult for others to move on. He also still blames others for what happened."
"He isn't worth helping," Wuxian said, "he has been this way since he was young. Hot headed temper and always trying to make his problems someone else's. I'm always the one having to clean up after him or chasing after him to make him feel better. Then just getting a mouthful of verbal abuse and occasionally getting eye rolls and head smacks."
"Which is why I am having a word with him," she said, "I took on these cases for a reason you know, not just because they were assigned to me. I didn't have to take them but I did."
"Why did you take them then?" Wangji asked.
"I saw similarities between my past experiences within your history. I was intrigued and I wanted to help heal people. I felt that all of you needed healing the most," she said. She then looked up and saw it was a bit late, "maybe we should rest for the night first."
Wuxian took them to a good inn in the area and they got one room. Ming Yue said she doesn't need to sleep she just needs to meditate. The room had two beds and a nice day bed. Ming Yue took the daybed as she was going to meditate for the night. As the boys were getting ready for bed, they saw Ming Yue meditating and they could feel the calming warmth and energy radiating from her. There was a prismatic atmosphere of color coming off of her. As if she was the rainbow herself.

((Ming Yue's Aura))
She was in the deepest form of meditation anyone could be. It was also her most vulnerable form, as anyone could attack her from any angle. Even as a goddess, she has her weaknesses. Meditation was one of them. It was her way of getting her energy back, but it was went a simple cut could make her bleed out within seconds. Lan Xichen had the urge to want to protect her whenever she was in that moment of meditation. He even went as far as placing a protective bubble like barrier around her.
Wuxian and Wangji smirked at him. Xichen sighed, "stop," he said.
"You like her," Wuxian teased. Xichen ignored him and sat down on his bed, "are you really not going to say anything?"
"Lan Ying, leave him alone," Wangji told him, "he doesn't have to say anything if he doesn't want to."
"Since when do you not agree with me?" Wuxian asked.
Wangji sighed, "does not matter if I agree or not. You can tease me but leave him be."
Ming Yue sighed as she was disturbed from her meditation, "what is going on now?" She asked.
They were silent.
"You woke me from my meditation, and now you have nothing to say?" She asked.
"I was just making a comment that Xichen likes you," Wuxian said happily.
Ming Yue looked at Xichen who was just enduring his teasing. She like him too but she isn't going to rush anything. She then turned back to Wuxian, "and if he does, then he said. I like him, is that wrong? What is it with people teasing others for liking someone? Didn't that happen between you and your husband?"
Wuxian was quiet.
"My point exactly," she said and sat beside Xichen, "are you okay?"
Lan Xichen nodded.
"You used to be pretty good at standing up for yourself, what happened to the amazing twin Jade Zewu Jun?" She asked.
Xichen smiled, "he is trying to feel better."
"Wei Ying and I will head back to Gusu tomorrow. I think Xiongzhang needs some time," Wangji said.
Ming Yue said, "if that is what you want. You and Wuxian need to work things out just as Zewu Jun needs time to heal."
"Very well," Wangji said.
Ming Yue then turned back to Xichen, "I am going to get back to meditation."
"Can you...?"
Ming Yue moved and leaned back against the headboard of the bed, "you can lay down," she said.
Lan Xichen smiled at her and laid down with his head resting on her stomach. Ming Yue smiled as well, and started running her fingers through his hair. She even started to him a lullaby to him that she remembered her mother singing to her when she was little. Lan Xichen was soothed to sleep by her touch and the beautiful sound of her humming.
