Lan Zhan takes the supplies and tends to Wei Ying's wounds.

Like a good boy that he is definitely not... Wei Ying keeps quiet and cooperates with Lan Zhan to get his wound dressed.

Only the wound left by Zidian needs dressing.
"The whip will not leave any mark on you... I promise." Lan Zhan says once he is done dressing it.
"Am." Wei Ying nods.

Lan Zhan looks at the red indents left by the killer string. He applies pain medication on it.
"Am... Amm...Amm." Wei Ying squirms.
"Does it hurt a lot when I touch it?" Lan asks hesitantly.
"Am.. Am." Wei Ying shakes his head.

"Then... does it tickle?" Lan Zhan asks smiling slightly.

"Am." Wei Ying confirms.

"Fortunately...it didn't break skin." Lan Zhan informs the younger man.

"Am." Wei Ying nods again.

"The medicine that I just applied and the energy that I will transfer to you, will heal you completely by tomorrow morning." Lan Zhan finishes explaining Wei Ying's physical condition.

Wei Ying doesn't move or say anything... no response at all.

Lan Zhan finds this odd and turns Wei Ying slowly to face him.
"Are you not going to say anything?" Lan Zhan asks with a smile.
It's a rhetorical question, since Lan Zhan is the one who has made it impossible for Wei Ying to speak.

Wei Ying turns away and avoids eye contact.
'He is upset with me...' Lan Zhan's mind supplies.
Lan Zhan turns Wei Ying's face towards him and kisses the younger man on his sealed lips.

"Am...!" Wei Ying makes an annoyed face.

"What is it?" Lan Zhan asks.

"Am.. Ammm.... You Fuddy Duddy!" Wei Ying blurts out.
'He removed the spell.' Wei Ying thinks and touches his lips. He smiles briefly before resuming his annoyed expression.

He stares at the Light bearer.

"Aren't you going to tell me what upset you?" Lan Zhan urges, closing the distance between them once again and placing a kiss on Wei Ying's lower lip.
Wei Ying keeps looking at Lan Zhan angrily.

"If only you were not hurt Wei Ying... I would have taken you right now." Lan Zhan says kissing the younger man's jaw.

Wei Ying's eyes widen at that.

'That is most definitely a lie! He has had many chances to take me....Wait! What exactly does that mean??? Does he mean to take me in his... *gulp*" Wei Ying blushes.
Then his brows crease.
"Hanguang Jun... are you trying to tease me right now or punish me!?" Wei Ying asks...annoyed.

"Wei Ying... take it as you will, but that is the truth." Lan Zhan says tracing Wei Ying's lips and moving his hand lower to caress his husband's beautiful long neck...coming to rest on  the nape of his neck.

'Fuck my life! Fuck my choices! ....next time I must ask Lan Zhan his plans before I take a risk of hurting myself... why am I so unlucky!' Wei Ying thinks pouting.

Lan Zhan has a weakness. The indents left by the killer string have already started to reduce.
He lightly touches Wei Ying's arm.
"Does it hurt?"

Wei Ying moves his hands a little and touches the indents to check.
"Not as much as a few minutes ago." he answers.
No sooner had Wei Ying said that Lan Zhan's lips land on him and Wei Ying's lower lip disappears between Lan Zhan's full lips.
"Amm.. " Wei Ying hums.. This encourages the Light Bearer.
He nips and licks on Wei Ying's lower lip.

'Soft... warm... wet.' Lan Zhan's hands come up to cup Wei Ying's face.
He breaks the kiss finally after what feels like ages.
"Hanguang Jun... why did you stop?" Wei Ying asks softly.

"You are hurt."

"Please.. It helps me forget the pain... Ammm." Wei Ying again fails to complete his sentence when Lan Zhan brings their lips together again.
This time it is Wei Ying's tongue that slides into Lan Zhan's mouth... Claiming it. Lan Zhan moves closer, giving more access to the younger man.
Wei Ying breaks the kiss and licks his lips.
"Hanguang Jun... I think I am under a spell." Wei Ying says innocently.

"Mn?"

"The more of you I have... The more of you I want... It doesn't make any sense Hanguang Jun... How can one feel this way.

Lan Zhan doesn't answer.
Instead, he looks at Wei Ying's swollen lips and lightly tracing Wei Ying's lower lip with his fingers he murmurs , "Wei Yaaa....sorry."

"Lan Zhan... I am sorry... I shouldn't have deceived you." Wei Ying says holding Lan Zhan's hand.

Lan Zhan doesn't meet Wei Ying's eyes.
'If only he knew of the times I have deceived him...we probably won't be together right now.' Lan Zhan thinks remorsefully.

He eventually he looks up to meet Wei Ying's eyes.
"I have already forgiven you." Lan Zhan answers kissing Wei Ying's forehead.
"Lan Zhan... I am so stupid... I can't even ask you to hold me now...now that I am all bruised up." Wei Ying pouts again.

'I need to stop thinking about Wei Ying's mouth.' Lan Zhan gulps and looks away. He leaves the bed only to return with Wei Ying's top garments and dresses him up.

"Wei Ying you wanted to tell me something about the demon....What is it? Why did you stop me from exorcising it?" Lan Zhan asks finally.

Wei Ying takes a deep breath.
"It was Su She.... and Meng Yao."

"Mn?"

"I think we better call Jiang Cheng here too." Wei Ying says his brow creasing.
Lan Zhan sends a word with Chu and within a few minutes Jiang Cheng joins them.

"Jian Cheng, did you send the letter inviting Meng Yao here?" Wei Ying asks.

"Yes."

"When are they planning to arrive here?"

"Evening probably."

Wei Ying pauses for a few seconds. A plan slowly takes shape in his mind. He finally looks up at the other two men confidently.

"The demon is being controlled by Su She." Wei Ying starts.

"What!?" Jiang Cheng asks... surprised and angry.

"Jiang Cheng, did Meng Yao visit Yunmeng recently?"

"Yes, just a month or so ago he came here. I was away with Jin Ling for a night hunt at the time. I was informed that Su She was there with him...Meng Yao said he was just passing through and thought to visit Jin Ling." Jiang Cheng remembers.

"Jiang Cheng, I regret to inform you but the unfortunate deaths that happened here a few days ago were indirectly my fault."

"Wei Wuxian, what are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng asks totally confused.

"Wei Ying, are you talking about the siblings?" Lan Zhan interrupts.

"Mn." Wei Ying answers and looking at his brother, he continues, "Jiang Cheng, I presume you are in contact with Zewu Jun so it's safe to say that you know about the Yin Seal."

"Yes, Zewu Jun told me about it."

"I am not sure but I think the person who put the seal outside Yunmeng cave and the one who controlled the undead corpses outside Yunmeng is Su She." Wei Ying pauses before continuing when Jiang Cheng looks confused.
"Jiang Cheng, there was a undead corpses situation which we encountered and took care of before we arrived in Lotus Cove."

"I didn't hear about it...how come?" Jiang Cheng wonders.

"Maybe those who were facing the problem were afraid of being blamed for demonic cultivation....Jiang Cheng I think they were more scared of you than the undead corpses... Hehehe." Wei Ying  laughs.

"Wei Wuxian!"

"Relax brother... I don't know why you were not told but those are the facts....Anyway.. I read the demons thoughts... Su She planted it here and Meng Yao was with him at the time...i think Meng Yao either had doubts about me having returned or he wanted to keep you busy taking care of unrest in Lotus Cove... successfully distracting you from what is going on outside of it."

"I still don't understand." Jiang Cheng says rubbing his forehead.

"The problem started when Lan Zhan killed Xue Yang and a masked man came and took away a piece of the Yin  Seal....this seal was then used by the masked man to get to the mangled seal that we found in the cave... but there was a problem... the seal was inside a box... the intruder couldn't get into it...so he left without it. He couldn't let anyone else have it either so he created the undead corpses as a distraction. This intruder used his flute to control the corpses... Just like I used to. This created an impression that I was indeed back and 'up to no good' again." Wei Ying pauses again and sighs.

"Wei Ying, are you tried? We can talk about it tomorrow." Lan Zhan says. He can see that Wei Ying is exhausted.

"I am ok Lan Zhan." Wei Ying says smiling and continues, "This masked intruder then went to his superior.....Jiang Cheng, by now you must have understood that the masked man was Su She and his superior was Meng Yao.
Meng Yao had heard a rumor from Xue Yang that the four direction seals are controlled by a fifth part of the seal... Jiang Cheng that is the part you held until very recently." Wei Ying finishes.

"Wei Wuxian... I would never touch or keep something so sinister and evil!" Jiang Cheng says loosing his temper. He stands and approaches Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan blocks Jiang Cheng's way, his hand ready to unsheathe Bichen.
