LAN ZHAN'S DESIRE (WANGXIAN)
Yunmeng Jiang Village
3 years after the Yilling Laozu's death, Wen Ning went to the lotus pier, Jiang Cheng cornered him with his diciple. but before they could do any harm, Wen Ning spoke. He told Jiang Cheng about his core, he told him who restored it and who's it was before. Jiang Cheng went hiding for 4 month after that but got the courage and came back to his sect. He told Wen Ning off, saying he still did not forgive Wei Ying for killing his sister. Wen Ning tried to reason with him but Jiang Cheng dismissed him.
Then, 6 more years past by. Jin Guanyao was then exposed along with Su She by Nie Mingjue at Unclean Realm. Jin Guanyao and Su She were sentence to death. Wei Ying and Wen Ning's name were cleared and those who were against them were showered with guilt. Wanji stayed in Jingshi for months and never left. Jiang Cheng was falling off his Clan leader Duties, 8 year old Jin Ling was set as the new leader of Jin Sect. It was chaos.
then 7 years passed. Jin Ling is 15 and is ruling the Jin clan with the help of his uncle, Lan Zhan is doing better but he still has regrets. Jiang Cheng has forgave Wei Ying and Wen Ning. He then request Wen Ning joining the Jiang clan as a gift for all of his Misery. Wen Ning accepted the offer hesitantly. Now Wen Ning is known as the Jiang Diciples teacher.
everything was going well, but then, the Jiang Clan have been experiencing bad Zombies attack for almost a month now. The lan Clan, Jin and Nie Clan then offered to help them.
(skip to the scene where Lan Zhan and the two teens travel to Jiang clan.)
Lan Sizhui (Wen Yuan/ Lan Yuan)
Hanguang Jun, why did you decide to bring me and Jingyi with you to lotus Pier?
Lan Zhan kept quite as his disciples ask him questions.
they then arrived at the gate of Yunmeng. They landed off they're sword and stood on the dock. They saw many merchants and villagers walking around.
Villager
COME GET YOUR LOTUS WINE! COME GET YOUR LOTUS WINE!
Villager

Villager

The place was lively. It didn't looked like it was attacked at all.
Jiang sect diciple

A man spoke. The three Lan's looked where the voice came from.
Jin Ling (Jin Rulan)
Huh!? What are you doing here! Your not welc-
Lan sect diciple

Another source of voice came, more rough. They looked behind Jin ling.
Lan sect diciple

Both Jingyi and Sizhui said. the three Lan's bowed at Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Wangji?
Lan Zhan (Lan Wanji)

Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
What are you doing here?
Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan Glared at each other.
Lan Sizhui (Wen Yuan/ Lan Yuan)
Sect leader Jiang, we are here to help you with the zombie attacks that has been happening recently.
Jin Ling (Jin Rulan)
What? But my uncle only invited Sect leader la-
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
Fine. You can help.
Jin Ling looked at his uncle and looked back at the others. He stuck his tongue at the two Lan's and left.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
let's discuss this.. Somewhere else private. For the while we wait for Da-ge first.
They agreed. Soon, Jiang Cheng then told them to follow him to His home.
Mystery savior
Jiang Cheng brought all of them to lotus Pier. they entered the main hall. Jiang Cheng sat on his throne while the others did the same. Jin ling was already there as he sat at the right of Jiang Cheng.
Jiang sect diciple
greetings, sect leader Jiang. Sect leader Jin and sect leader Lan.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
What is it?
Jiang sect diciple
Sect leader Nie has arrived, along with the merchants whom made claims.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
Let them in.
The Jiang Diciple left. Soon, he came back with Nie Mingjue and a old merchant.
Nie Mingjue
Greetings. Sect leader Jiang, sect leader Lan and Sect leader Jin.
elderly merchant
Greetings sect leader Jiang, Sect leader Jin and sect leader Lan
Nie Mingjue greeted them as they greeted back. only the juniors greeted the elderly merchant.
Nie Mingjue sat on his seat as the elderly merchant stood at the middle facing Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
you're the merchant that made the claims of a man in red and ragged robes. Is it?
The merchant bowed and spoke
elderly merchant
Yes. He looked fairly familiar to say. I have been with Yunmeng Jiang sect for 73 years.. my memories are not that well..
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Could you describe how he looks like?
the man though for a while
elderly merchant
I believe he was quite handsome....but also looked like a girl.. ah.. That reminds me.. My son went hunting pheasants to sell. Then, he was attacked by Zombies.. emm... 3 zombies, and he killed them all!
Nie Mingjue
So? Do you expect us to congratulate your son?
elderly merchant
N-no! I meant the man! He helped my son.. Then disappeared..
the elderly merchant was seen shaking. Jiang Cheng rose his eyebrows and Lan Xichen calmed and reassured the man
Nie Mingjue
where did you see the man?
elderly merchant
I saw him while I was out to pick lotus seeds.. He was eating them while sitting on a tree near the lake.
Jin Ling (Jin Rulan)
what!? that's criminal activity! The lake does not belong to hi-
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
That lake is for workers to pick and sell seeds. If he isn't a worker then he's stealing.
elderly merchant
He was not stealing.. The lotus were all in a bag. Meaning he bought them
Nie Mingjue
Ok.. So.. Did he do any harm?
elderly merchant
No. He saved many lives actually. Many people accountered zombies at some point. And he always saves them.. That why we never worry.
The sect leaders, Wanji and the juniors began to discuss. Jiang Cheng dismissed the merchant afterwards.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
I've prepared rooms for you all. seing that it's close to midnight.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Thank you, sect leader Jiang.
they thanked Jiang Cheng. Soon, everyone settled in they're own rooms. Jin Ling in his, The two juniors together, Wanji and Xichen's are in they're separate rooms and Mingjue in his.
Wei Ying?
a man in black, red ragged robes was limping. He was wearing a black wooden mask. His hands were slim and so fragile. If he was a selfish person and claimed that he saved the villagers, he would be labeled as a fake.
Wei Ying (Wei Wuxian)
ugh..
Wei ying dropped to the ground, his legs were soo slim like wooden twigs. Anyone would say he's a girl if it weren't for his Adams apple.
It was pouring rain outside even if it's morning. The rain droplets can be heard.
Wangji was in his room, Preparing for the meeting.
then a knock landed on his door.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Wangji?
Wangji turned around to face the door
Lan Zhan (Lan Wanji)
Come in.
Xichen opened the door and went in.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Wangji.. I know why you came to help. But you can't just presume he's still alive-
Lan Zhan (Lan Wanji)
Brother.
Xichen kept silent. His brother is very stubborn when it comes to these situations.
Xichen sighed at his brothers stubbornness,
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Very well. But don't go into hiding again if the man isn't him. Okay? Promise me.
Wangji Looked intense at his brother.
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
let's go. We don't want to keep the others waiting.
The lan brothers left Wangji's room. They headed to the main hall where they met the juniors and three sect leaders
Lan Sizhui (Wen Yuan/ Lan Yuan)
Good morning, Hanguang Jun and Zewu Jun.
Lan Jingyi
Good morning Zewu Jun And Hanguang.
the two jade brothers greeted the sect leaders and juniors. They sat at they're own table as they began to discuss.
Lan sect diciple
Sect leader Jiang, the merchants son is here.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
Let him in.
The Jiang Diciple nod. He left and came back with a man in rugged Jiang Village clothes that looked like it's colour is fading.
Jiang Juyian

Jiang Juyian

Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
From your father's statement, he's wearing a black rugged clothes with heavenly features. But he looked like a woman. Am I correct?
Wangji kept silent as he hears the teenager words. Xichen looked at him from his side. Whispering to Wangji,
Lan Xichen (Lan Huan)
Are you still sure its him..?
Soon, the teenage boy shared more about his accountered with the man, and his attitude.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)

Nie Mingjue
Agreed. but where can we find this man?
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
Don't worry. I have someone who will do it.
The leaders nod. Jin ling stayed quiet tho, he wasn't that good of a leader. The juniors just listened carefully.
Jiang Cheng called a gaurd and told him to call someone. then the gaurd left the hall.
The voice was loud and rough. They all looked at the halls entrance as the person enters
Wen Ning (Wen Qionglin)
Sect leader Jiang.
Wen Ning bowed with respect to all of them
Lan Jingyi
The ghost general!?-
Lan Sizhui (Wen Yuan/ Lan Yuan)
Jingyi! watch your tongue!
Lan Zhan (Lan Wanji)

The two teenagers stopped they're squirrel as they heard the icy man speak. They lowered they're heads and Jin Ling smirked.
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
Wen Ning.
Wen Ning (Wen Qionglin)
Yes?
Jiang Cheng (Jiang Wanyin)
