[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Chapter 289 Coming out of seclusion

Before he could finish speaking, a slender, fair hand suddenly appeared from the side, skillfully and firmly pulling at Lan Huan's fingers that were gripping Wei Ying's wrist.

Then, Lan Zhan's clear, cold voice rang in their ears: "Brother, no. Wei Ying and I must wash up first, otherwise it would be too impolite for us to be here!"

Upon hearing this, both of their gazes simultaneously shifted downwards, and Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's equally disheveled appearances came into view. Wei Ying's dark, puffy face and wrinkled black clothes that looked like an old rag were particularly striking!

Upon realizing this reality, Wei Ying and Lan Huan froze, instantly banishing the intense thoughts that had just been swirling in their minds.

In his haste, Lan Huan grabbed Wei Ying's wrist, but it felt as if his hand was on a red-hot iron, and he hurriedly withdrew it!

Although he was momentarily embarrassed, Lan Huan, who had been through a lot of trials, had a very high level of mental fortitude. He quickly covered up the embarrassment and smiled gently, like a warm spring breeze, and even joked playfully.

"Huh? Ah Zhan, they're all our elders. It's just a normal greeting. Why do we need to be so solemn and formal?"

Lan Huan spoke with such seriousness, but the light in his eyes, which were filled with a subtle smile, was like a mischievous little elf, lingering happily on Lan Zhan's fingers that were tightly holding Wei Ying's wrist.

Don't make the teasing or mocking intent too obvious!

Lan Zhan's eyes darkened slightly, his rosy lips pressed into a straight line, and he emphasized his tone a little more.

"Brother, it's getting late. I'll go inside with Wei Ying to wash up. You can go ahead first, and we'll meet Father later!"

Wei Ying, who had been watching silently from the side, nodded vigorously in agreement. To be honest, it wasn't a big deal for him to go out in front of people looking so disrespectful, since he was always thick-skinned and didn't care about details.

But he couldn't bear to let his self-disciplined, proper, and immaculate little immortal lose his composure in front of his elders.

Lan Huan didn't take Lan Zhan's serious answer to heart, but his smile deepened and became warmer: "Ahem, Zhan, how do you and A-Ying plan to wash up after returning to the stone chamber like this?"

Just as Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were about to turn around, they immediately remembered that the stone chamber behind them was empty. Their raised feet froze. Indeed, there was no hot water or toiletries for washing up or any new clothes to change into. Going back would just be a waste of time.

At this moment, Lan Huan's cheerful voice rang out: "A-Zhan, A-Ying, should we have someone prepare everything for your brother? Or would you like to return to Yunyu Pavilion with your brother for a short rest before coming with me to pay our respects to Father and the others?"

Seeing that Lan Zhan's delicate little earlobes were already bright red and almost dripping with moisture, Lan Huan continued to tease him without restraint. Wei Ying pouted and protested, "Big brother~~"

Seeing that his two younger brothers were somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, Lan Huan knew he couldn't tease them too much at once, so he stopped while he was ahead and said seriously, "A-Zhan, A-Ying, you two go back to Yunyu Pavilion where your elder brother is staying first. I will instruct the servants to bring you the things you need for washing and changing clothes later!"

"I will inform Father and Sect Leader Wen. You should rest well in your rooms for a while, and it would be best to have some food and a short rest first, so that you can meet with Father and the others after you have had enough energy!"

“But…” Wei Ying was somewhat reluctant. Wei Chaoyan’s situation was urgent. Every day earlier he met with Qingheng-jun and the others to verify the correctness and feasibility of what he had learned meant that he could find a fundamental solution sooner and completely resolve the serious problems that had arisen in Wei Chaoyan’s body!

Before Wei Ying could refuse, Lan Huan shook his head, his eyes grave and worried, and advised, "A-Ying, saving Miss Wei is a long and arduous task that cannot be resolved overnight. You are the main force in completely solving the problem. If you sacrifice your own strength for short-term gains, it will only delay the time for the matter to be completely resolved, and it will not benefit the overall situation at all!"

Knowing the importance and urgency of the matter, Wei Ying listened to Lan Huan's advice and, without needing Lan Huan to emphasize it again, simply lowered his brows and mumbled, "I understand." Then, devoid of any joy, he bowed to Lan Huan with his hands clasped in farewell, and dejectedly headed towards Yunyu Pavilion.

Watching Wei Ying's departing figure, filled with disappointment, Lan Huan's brows furrowed with heartache, a trace of pity flashing across his face: "A-Ying, don't worry, with me here, and with the strong support of Father and Sect Leader Wen, you will definitely be able to find a way out of this predicament as soon as possible!"

"Now, go back to your room with Ah Zhan and rest for a while. Father and the others will understand!"

While muttering to himself, he kept moving his hands. First, he sent a Lan Clan communication talisman to the Lan Clan disciple who was also in Nightless City, instructing him to prepare all the items that Wei Ying and Wei Wuxian needed and send them to Yunyu Pavilion as soon as possible for Wei Ying and Wei Wuxian to use.

At the same time, he slid out his own communicator from his sleeve and sent the news that Wei Ying and Lan Zhan had just successfully emerged from seclusion to the discussion group where Lan Wenjing, Wen Ruohan and the others were present.

He also added the news that the two had returned to Yunyuxuan to rest earlier, and suggested that they come to the council hall later to wait for them.

Not long after the message was sent, Lan Wenjing, Wen Ruohan and others replied.

Lan Huan opened and read them one by one. The contents were all similar, mostly expressing understanding and support, and unanimously agreeing to postpone the meeting time.

After a dozen messages flooded the screen, the group decided to meet at 5 PM, after dinner.
