chp 9

Hua Daxia's tears was painted red, coming down to her cheeks as she tells her past, hoping everything would start over just to see Feng Hui once agian.

Lan Wangji lowered his head, feeling the pain, remembering those 16 years of mourning Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian's hand touches Lan Wangji's assuring him that he is still here right by his side.

"We will help you find Feng Hui." Wei Wuxian slightly smile at Hua Daxia.

Her eyes widened, feeling happy and at ease listening to Wei Wuxian's words. "Really? Thank you! Thank you so much!!". She instantly wiped her blood red tears, kowtowing on the floor repeatedly.

Wei Wuxian nod politely, "In your past, you told him to meet you at the lake. Have you check there yet?". Hua Daxia shook her head, "There was two lake. I don't remember which lake I told him to meet me at. All these years, I have only remember the village."

"That's right, there was two lake. Binghe lake and Shui Qing lake. We should split up and go find him there. Huh? Lan zhan where's the kids?" Wei Wuxian looked around his area, tugging Lan Wangji's sleeves.

"They're with Xiao Mei." Lan Wangji replied.

"We need to go find them." Lan Wangji nod at Wei Wuxian response as Wei Wuxian turn his back to face Hua Daxia agian. "Lady Daxia, come with us"

Hua Daxia slowly nod as she smiled.

Xiao Mei's POV

"Xiao Mei! Wake up!!"

"I think she's dead"

"Finally!! I mean why?! Ugh"

"Jingyi, don't be naughty"

"Haha she's still breathing, relax"

I slowly open my eyes, laying on the ground as my head was on something soft and comfortable. "See? she's still alive and well" Jingyi crosses his arms sitting next to Suzhui.

"What happened?" I asked, supporting myself up. "You knocked out. Maybe because you're too exhausted. What did you and Hua Daxia do inside the coffin?" Jingyi squint his eyes looking at me suspicious.

Pft. "We were planning on how to kill you of course. What else?" I replied jokingly, laughing at my own jokes. Suzhui smile softly meanwhile Jingyi rolled his eyes.

I looked at the one behind me and it was Xia ni who let me rest on her thighs. I smile as I thanked her for taking care of me. Jin Ling and Zizhen came towards us.

"Good that you're not dead or else my uncle would feel guilty for not keeping you safe."

Jin Ling let out a faint smile. "Which uncle? Senior Wei?" Jin Ling have too many uncles T-T

"Yes him.".."oh haha, you have so many uncles Jin Ling!" I blurted out the sentences, thinking of a meme back in my universe.

"I know right! Wait...how did you know I have so many uncles?" His widen eyes stares at me shockingly.

...

All of the Juniors stares at me giving me chills and actually frightened me for the first time. Xia Ni stares at me confusingly.

"RIGHT!!!!! How did you know you know my name when we first met?" Jingyi then continues to interrogate me, crossing his arms frowning towards me.

"And.. how did you know Hanguan Jun's song?" Suzhui added. "She knows Hanguan Jun's song? Which song?" Jingyi even deepen his frowned.

"Well technically, Hanguan Jun only let me hear it but she knows it too." Suzhui lightly smiles. I was speechless, unable to say anything. If I did they would think that I'm a weirdo!

"I was just blabbing! Hehe- ZHAN I MEAN SENIOR WEI!!!!" I ran up to Wei Wuxian hoping that they would dropped the conversation.

Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji along with Hua Daxia was here, stopping their tracks as I hug Wei Wuxian. He smile, hugging me back. "Xiao Mei, are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

I shook my head happily, "nope! I'm fine and well!"..."Senior Wei! You could've come earlier. We were exposing-""AHHH it's nothing. Lady Daxia is here too?" I interrupted Jingyi, staring at Hua Daxia.

Wei Wuxian turn his back to glance at her then turned back to me. "Yes, she's here. We're going to help her find Feng Hui" He smile gently.

"Jingyi, what did you say earlier? Exposing who?" Wei Wuxian frowned. My heart started to race fast, turning to face Jingyi them, begging him to not tell Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

"We were exposing-" "ah~ exposing how Zizhen have so many books about ladies" Suzhui stopped Jingyi, nervously chuckled.

"Ah?" Zizhen shows his confuse face, looking at Suzhui. "Right Zizhen?" Suzhui asked cutely. "Well technically yes" Zizhen forgots about the situation and just being proud of himself.

"Zizhen, don't read too much of it" Wei Wuxian laughs, smirking just like when Nie Huasang talks about his books. I was quite relieved that they changed the conversation all thanks to Suzhui.

"Xiao Mei knows that I have a lot of uncles!" Jin Ling suddenly expose one, running up to Wei Wuxian. I-

"Haha Xiao Mei is not wrong though, you do have many uncles. She probably heard people mentioning it while we were still in the village." I quickly nodd in agreement as Wei Wuxian speaks up for me.

Lan Wangji came up to Wei Wuxian, holding his arms. "Wei Ying, it's going to be dawn soon. We should get hurry". Wei Wuxian nodd and patt my head gently.

"Children, we have to help Lady Daxia find Feng Hui. Lady Daxia said that Feng Hui could be in Binghe lake or Shui Qing lake and so we would have to split up....um..all of you guys would go to Shui Qing while me and Lan Zhan goes to Binghe Lake." All the Juniors nod to Wei Wuxian's words.

As we were about to split up, Hua Daxia came up to hold the wedding Hanfu clothes that I was wearing. "Yiling Patriarch, Hanguan Jun. My ghost can't go anywhere without the groom. This is where my body was dumped. In order to leave this place, I would have to follow the girl with the wedding clothes on." Hai Daxia soften her words, holding on to my clothes.

Of course I frozed and was scared as if my soul was about to leave my body, feeling her cold presence behind me. "Then, Jin Ling and Zizhen goes with Lan Zhan. I'll go with Xiao Mei them."

I feel more at ease knowing that Wei Wuxian would come with me. I kinda wish Wen Ning is here too since he's very powerful.

------------------

As we were on our path to Shui Qing lake, I can tell Jingyi was eager to expose me at this moment by his face, staring dead into my soul while Suzhui tried to stopped him.

"Jingyi. What's with that face?" Wei Wuxian laughs. "Oh?....nothing. Senior Wei, you should be more careful about your surroundings." Jingyi glares at me, leaving a smirk on his face.

"Who? Lady Daxia? Don't worry, Yiling Patriarch can handles it!" Wei Wuxian smiles widely. "No! Not her-".."yes yes! You can handle it!" Suzhui gently pinch Jingyi's arm stopping him.

...

"I can tell you guys are suspecting Xiao Mei. Haha, we'll talked about it when we're done with this case" I was shocked at Wei Wuxian's words. Of course what am I thinking?!? Wei Ying is the smartest person in the drama!!

I was unable say anything as well as Jingyi and Suzhui since they all became quiet when Wei Wuxian pointed it out.

Although Hua Daxia's presence is cold coming through me, my heart was racing, sweats coming down on my forehead.

------

As we arrived to Shui Qing lake, the water was dark green while it was still dark, only the moon shines down on to the flowing water.

We all split up searching around near the lake and there was no signs of corpse or body anywhere.

Hua Daxia begins to lose hope, still gripping my clothes. One hour became two hours then two hours became three.

We then all meet with each other back to the spot where we have just split up. Jingyi and Suzhui came down with their swords.

"How is it? Did you find him?" Wei Wuxian asked.

Both of them shook their heads. "we fly out swords to search for him but no signs of bodies anywhere". "Feng Hui.....Feng Hui..." Hua Daxia mumbles his name rapidly, breathing harder.

I stared at her, feeling guilty. Wei Wuxian patted her shoulders gently. "We will find him."

Just then, a blue firework flew up to the sky. "It's the Gusu emergency firework!!! Huanguan Jun them might be in trouble!" Jingyi yelled, pointing at the firework.

"Let's go!!" Wei Wuxian shouted as we all ran towards the firework in Binghe Lake.

--------

We arrived in Binghe lake just to see Lan Wangji meditating as Zizhen and Jin ling stares at something near a little wooden house.

"Lan zhan what happend? Did you find him?" Lan Wangji walks towards Wei Wuxian and nod. "Lady Daxia, it's him." Lan Wangji asked politely.

We all casted our eyes to the skeleton laying on the tree near the lake across from the little wooden house. Hua Daxia suddenly pulled my clothes, to get near the skeleton of a decease person.

I followed Hua Daxia, and kneel down near the skeleton as Hua Daxia also kneel down. This decease person was all bones as his/her flesh and blood was already have been gone wholely leaving just bones, his/her only wore a dirty dark red cloth.

"I can tell, he's still wearing his wedding clothes during our marriage ceremony....Feng Hui!!!! I'm sorry....I'm so sorry to leave you here alone" Hua Daxia's hugs the skeleton tightly while still holding my clothes on her one hand. Her bright red tears stained her face as she cries loudly.

We all stayed quiet, silently mourning about their tragic love, letting Hua Daxia have her moment. I looked on to the skeleton, feeling heartbroken. I then looked at the Juniors.

Jingyi and Zizhen cried loudly as loud as Hua Daxia's cries meanwhile Suzhui and Jin Ling stayed quiet, looking at the scene.

...

"I did inquiry on him and his soul was still here." Lan Wangji spoke. "Tell me. Did he get killed by Fu Jin's servants?" Hua Daxia started to feel angry, recalling the past.

"He escaped." Lan Wangji respond. Hua Daxia heaves a deep sigh. "Then..he's been waiting for me. Feng Hui..." Hua Daxia cries harder, still wrapping her arms around Feng Hui's skeleton.

....

"Lets carry Feng Hui back to the forest. Then I'll let go of the souls." Hua Daxia slightly smiled. Wei Wuxian nod silently as the Juniors carries Feng Hui and we all took off.

---------------

We arrived back at the forest where all the souls were trapped in.

Hua Daxia released the souls by opening up her real coffin below ground as her deceased body was there, putting all her powers to release the souls.

"Thank you Yiling Patriarch, Huanguan Jun..also you guys. Since I have found Feng Hui, my soul would leave with him into the after life." Hua Daxia smiles gently, bowing at us.

We bow back at her, bidding our goodbyes.

For the remaining souls, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian plays 'requiescat' to wishes the souls to goes freely into the afterlife.

--------------

"This case is done. Still one more case left." Wei Wuxian smiles, gazing at me. I grin as I nod slowly.

"Alright! Lets go back to the village." We all went back to the village to assured them that they will be safe and sound.

---

"Lao ren jia, do you remember which Seng sect did the previous leader send?" Wei Wuxian ask the question agian, curious about the Sect who "help" the village.

For a moment, I gaze at Xia Ni, who seems to be nervous and unsettling towards Wei Wuxian's words.

"I don't remember clearly but they all wears dark blue Sect's clothes with green jade pendant with them." The old man replied.

With the description of the clothes they wear, Wei Wuxian almost seems remember which sect it is.

"Thanks for telling me. We are going now!" Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and us bowed to the old man and his sons while they did the same back thanking us.

Just went we was about to walk off, the old man stopped me. "Lady Xiao Mei, may we please have the wedding clothes back?"

"Oh! Yes yes!" I quickly took it off, leaving me with my original white Gusu clothes agian. We all bid goodbye once again and leave the village.
