FATED LOVE |BL

Zhang Wei built a memorial temple for his parents, the remaining sect people grieved with him. What was left was for him to take over, yet he couldn't bring himself to do it, he wants to avenge his parents first before thinking of becoming sect leader.

Wang Zunyan had woken up and his eyes were better, he woke up early to receive a letter from Li Xiwang that he will not be seen for awhile as he was sick, the sect people of WangShi jaizu didn't dare to mention what took place at Zhang shi sect and Li Shizu sect so Wang Zunyan was unaware of what happened.

Li Xiwang was partially blind, his blurry vision made it hard for him to recognize people however their scent did, Li Qiang had stepped forward to be his guide as long as Li Xiwang wanted him to be.

Li Jie had found Li Na outside Zhengyi palace and he took her home, the sect leader had been in a coma for a day and a night now, Currently Li Jie is the sect leader of Li Shizu sect.

"I can eat on my own you know" he huffed. Li Qiang chuckled and handed him the spoon.

"Go ahead then"

Li Xiwang took the spoon and fed himself, the soup dripped down his chin making Li Qiang laugh softly, he wiped it off with the sleeve of his robe.

"You know, being like this really humbled you" he teased. Li Xiwang scoffed.

"Really? Then why are you smiling at me like that?"

It was something he had developed, sensing people's emotions and feelings. Right now Li Qiang was having a strong feeling of admiration for him.

"Ehhh, don't do that, anyway your mother is to wake up today, are you excited?"

Li Xiwang didn't reply him.

"Why should I be excited? That i can't see her wake up?" He said and pushed the bowl of soup away.

"Even if you can't see....you can still hear her and feel her"

"That's not the same...."

Li Qiang sighed. It seems this is going to be a long journey to recovery.

It was in the afternoon and Wang Zunyan was in the Yuqiong flower fields, he looked ahead and sighed, the memory of him and Li Xiwang flashing in his mind, the first time he laughed, the first time he teased someone, the first time he....kissed someone.

He traced a thumb on his lips.

"It's been three days....will I hear from you?"

He walked back inside the palace. His guards were behind him, their footsteps echoing the halls of the palace.

"Sect elder Feng Qiao was seen leaving the sect this early morning, what should we do?"

"Leave him for me, when he comes back take him to the palace, if he refuses.....drag him by the robe"

Li Xiwang, Li Jun and Li Qiang were in a boat heading to Zhang Shi sect, since the water dragon incident the sect was forced to make their own boats for easy and safe travels.

Li Xiwang was wearing a white robe, a large hat covered with a long white veil, the veil was to cover his eyes from the people, in his hand was his hand fan, the tool was used as a common fan rather than a spiritual weapon.

Li Jun was wearing a sky blue robe, her hair in a tight ponytail held by a silver hairpin.

Li Qiang was wearing a dark blue robe, his hair held by a black headpiece. Their swords on the floor of the boat.

"We're here" Li Qiang said. Li Xiwang stood up and walked out, his attire made people make way for him.

Li Jun turned to her friend.

"Do you think this was a good idea coming here?" She asked. Li Qiang shrugged.

"His father told him to come, must be important i guess"

They followed behind him, the light guiding his way through the blurry figures he was seeing.

"Ah Xi?"

He paused. There on the left side of the market was Wang Zunyan, he had come to visit Zhang shi sect.

"Childe Wang Zunyan" Li Xiwang replied with a bow, Wang Zunyan frowned.

"We never used formalities with each other before, so why now?" He asked. Li Xiwang ignored him and turned to Li Jun.

"Let's go"

Wang Zunyan pulled him by the arm.

"Ah Xi....did...did I do something wrong?"

He was silent, should he tell him? That he's imperfect for him? That he is faulty? Broken? No....the only way to that is to push him away....for them to move on.

He took in a shaky breath and turned to him, the veil of the hat was blocking his eyes.

"Childe Wang Zunyan, it's been three days so i assume you've been waiting for my response"

Wang Zunyan smiled and held his hand. Their fingers intertwined.

"Say the answer, let's go back to WangShi jaizu"

"My....my answer is no....I'm sorry"

Their fingers pulled apart. Wang Zunyan took a step back, his face in disbelief.

"I...I thought....I thought we felt the same way"

"I don’t....sorry for making you misunderstand, Li Jun, Li Qiang, let's go"

He watched him walk away, his eyes welled up with tears and turned around to leave but he froze when he heard the people talk about Li Xiwang.

"Didn't he fight with his friend?"

"I heard their sect was attacked and his mother is now in a coma"

He stormed off and went back to the boat.

"Let's head back, I've seen and heard enough"

"Did you have to the that harsh?" Li Jun said. Li Xiwang paused, something dripped to the ground and it was a tear mixed with blood, the grey stoned pavement making it stand out more.

"Do you think i wanted it to be like that?" He said and went ahead into the Zhengyi palace premises.

Li Jun turned to Li Qiang.

"Will he be alright?"

"He's Li Xiwang....he always ends up alright"

"Announcing the arrival of Childe Li Xiwang of Li Shizu sect!"

Zhang Wei stood up from his seat, Li Xiwang entered and bowed.

"Apologies for my tardiness"

"It's okay, given the circumstances i can't hold it against you"

Li Xiwang chuckled, Li Qiang helped him to a seat.

"So how have you been?" He started. Zhang Wei chuckled.

"I've been good, however this place is a little lonely now that...." he sighed, he can't even finish his sentence. Li Xiwang nodded.

"It's alright...so my father told me you wanted to meet...what's wrong?"

Zhang Wei watched him, the veil was covering his eyes but he could definitely tell that Li Xiwang cried before coming here, however he chose not to point it out.

"I want us to work together.....your mother lost her power because of Liu Wei and my parents lost their lives because of Zhang Lei Wang...work with me to take them down"

He tightened the grip on the hem of this robe.

"I'm blind Zhang Wei...how could i possibly help you?"

"You can train....you shouldn't let this thing stand in your way"

"I hear you but.....it's easier said than done"

"How much time will you need"

"Give me......eight years"

.

.

Wang Zunyan was in a bad mood, his heart was paining him and he didn't know what to do about it.

"Maybe we should inform his parents....they might come back sooner" Wang Yun said.

He walked inside the palace and wrecked everything, the curtains were burnt, the sutras wet because of water, the floors bent and broken, the walls cracked.

Feng Qiao entered the palace with a victorious smirk. He turned to the people who followed him there when they heard the commotion.

"You see! He is not fit to rule us, are we going to let a madman like him rule us to the future?"

The people of WangShi jaizu were conflicted, they knew that Wang Zunyan was just a stand in for his parents but when they realized he will one day take over they didn't know whether to let him stay or kick him out.

A man in a black cloak stepped forward.

"Kick him out!"

Then the people suddenly agreed, the mob justice effect working in Feng Qiao's favour.

"Yeah kick him out!"

"Kick him out!"

.

Li Xiwang was in his room, his body in the lotus position on the bed, his eyes were closed yet his eyebrows twitched now and then as he meditated.

Li Jie sighed as he closed the door, it has been an hour now since Li Xiwang had been like this and every time someone tried to wake him they were sent flying backwards.

Li Na walked up to him, her hollowing cheeks and pale skin made her look very sickly.

"No....he must be aiming to reach insight"

She smiled, she knew her son wouldn't let something like blindness stop him because just like her, he was a true member of the Li family.

"I'm so proud of him"
