FATED LOVE |BL

"You heard the people Wang Zunyan, pack your things and leave the palace"

He scoffed.

"This is my father's house, over my dead body will I allow you to throw me out" he said, the doors to the secret chamber opened and his guards came out with their glaring swords.

Feng Qiao took a step back, then he stomped on the floor making it crack with a loud 'boom!'

Wang Zunyan used the curtains hanging from the ceiling to dodge the attack, he used his fire spell trick and flicked burning ambers flying in rapid speed at sect elder, his guards charged at Feng Qiao making the old man to retreat.

He landed on his feet with an authoritative thud.

"Get him back here!"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.......

Li Na coughed as she laid in her bed, Li Xiwang entered the room making her smile.

"Ah Xi....have you reached insight?" She asked, her voice was hoarse and dry making her son's heart weak.

"Not yet....you should rest"

She smiled and held his hand. Her hand was cold so much that Li Xiwang had to gasp for a moment. Li Na smiled apologetically at him, she feels she had failed him. Her dream was to see her son grow up and take over the sect, see him welcome his bride home but now....

"Ah Xi.... I'm not waking up tomorrow"

He took in a shaky breath and nodded.

"I can feel it too....are you scared?"

"No....I am Madam Li Na remember, never afraid of anything" she said making him laugh.

Her other hand clasped the tear drop charm around her neck. She took it off and handed it over to Li Xiwang, the clear liquid inside making Li Xiwang curious.

"Take this....this is full of your great great grandmother's tears, she was the most powerful master of the waters, her powers lay in here, i put mine in there a long time ago so you don't have to worry"

He frowned.

"Drink it...it can help you feel better"

"That's not how it works, you need a golden core for it to work or else it speeds up your death"

He held the cold glass tube, he could already feel the power along with confidence oozing out of it, is this why his mother was always confident?

"Mother.....I love you"

"I love you too Ah Xi"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Zhang Wei looked at his people, the fifty remaining people made him feel hopeful, that one day he will come out victorious, that he will avenge his parents.

He raised the sect flag over his head and waved it.

"To Zhang shi sect!"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

The following morning, Li Shizu sect was in mourning, Li Jie was at the burning of paper ritual since early morning, Li Xiwang didn't want to enter the hall as he knew he wouldn't want to leave.

He looked around the sect, it was blurry, he sighed. His feet took him to the place he knew by heart, Yuecheng lake.

He dropped his hat and took off his shoes, the cold water made him shiver as he walked to the centre of the lake, he turned around and could see the blurry view of the rising sun. He smiled weakly and dove under the water.

Li Qiang who was watching from afar gasped in horror, he quickly ran to the lake, his heart beating vigorously against his chest.

"Li Xiwang!"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Wang Zunyan woke up feeling startled, he looked around the room and sighed. He sat up and let his feet touch the cold wooden floor.

"Why do I feel like I'm drowning"

After he was done with his morning routine, he made his way to the palace, Feng Qiao was kneeling at the door, beside him were Wang Yun and Wang Min, their swords aimed at the man's neck. He smirked.

"Sect elder Feng Qiao, you thought you can outsmart me?"

Feng Qiao rolled his eyes with a scoff. Wang Yun hit him on the back with the sheath of his sword in anger.

"Answer the sect leader when he's taking to you"

Wang Zunyan squatted to face him, his cold face making Feng Qiao a little intimidated.

"Why was Li Shizu sect under attack?"

He spit blood on his face and cackled.

"Why would I tell you? Are you going to save your precious Li Xiwang?"

"Was he hurt in the process?"

"Humph! Didn't you know....he was render blind courtesy of his dear friend Liu Yang"

He was stunned, is this why Li Xiwang turned him down? Did he feel unworthy? Broken because of it? It didn't matter to him.....it didn't matter.

"Lock him up, when my parents return he is to kowtow to them fifty times"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

The people of Li Shizu sect were mourning twice, sect leader Li Na was dead and Li Xiwang was missing. Li Jie felt like his world was falling apart.

Li Qiang gave him Li Xiwang's hat, the wet white veil making his already broken heart weak.

"Did....did he leave any message?"

"No....he just walked into the lake"

He nodded and went to Xiangyun Pavilion, he placed Li Xiwang's hat on top of Li Na's coffin.

"May the heavens welcome you both"

Li Qiang walked silently to his house, he was confused, why would Li Xiwang take his life? Unless.....unless he planned on being given a chance for reincarnation.

"I'll still be here waiting for you"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Wang Zunyan made his way to Li Shizu, the blazing sun having no mercy for him as he maneuverer the sword.

"I'm coming Ah Xi"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Zhang Wei sighed as he walked away from the Zhengyi Palace, the place he once called home making him feel like a foreigner.

"It's just the two of us" he said to the spirit tiger which purred and walked ahead of him.

It's clear for him what he must do, he will wait eight years at Trunk mountain and will join Li Xiwang as they take down the sect elders.

"Those old farts will die and never reincarnate"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

He walked inside the sect and everyone was wearing white, was a funeral held here?

He saw Li Jie walking around the Pavilion with a lost look on his face.

"Sect leader Li Jie" he said and bowed. Li Jie turned to him.

"Childe Zunyan....anything wrong?"

"No....I came to see Li Xiwang"

Li Jie shook his head, the tears in his eyes threatening to escape.

"Li Xiwang....is missing"

".....missing?"

"Mm....since morning, he was seen going into the lake and never came out, our best swimmers have been looking for hours now"

He took a step back and shook his head in disbelief, his Ah Xi....was missing? No, it can't be.....

He ran to the lake.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Li Jun got out of the water with a distraught look in her face, the fact that her friend was gone was still unrealistic to her.

"Stop him!" Li Jie shouted, she turned to look and Wang Zunyan had already jumped into the lake.

She gasped.

"What is he thinking?"

He swam deeper and deeper until he reached the earth, he slapped the ground making it crack, things started to float to the surface of the water, lost things like rowing ores and broken jade teapots but no Li Xiwang.

He screamed and water filled his lungs.

Li Jun watched an unconscious Wang Zunyan float to the surface.

"Get him out quick!"

They compressed his chest to help him cough up the water he inhaled. He gasped for air.

"What were you thinking huh?" She scolded. He turned to side, his eyes locking with the lake that swallowed his first love.

"Li Xiwang....where are you?"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

The news of what happened to Li Shizu sect had already went as far as the Qingcheng province, Wang Jun was surprised to hear this after just returning from their trip. He had went to see Wang Zunyan but the boy had been in his room since.

Since he came back from Li Shizu he had not been the same, the cold face prince was now in....in grieve, the people were also confused.

"He can't lock himself in that room all day, at some point he has to eat!" Wang Jun roared in anger.

Wang Jing sighed, even she couldn't get Wang Zunyan to talk, could it be that he and Li Na were....no it can't be and she doesn't even dare to think like that again.

"Calm down dear, give him time to....collect himself, maybe his Waterloo dumped him"

Wang Jun scoffed.

"I bet it has something to do with the missing of that Li Xiwang, master of water my ass, he couldn't even save himself from a mere lake humph!"

Boom!

Wang Jun and his wife were shocked to see their son standing behind the door that just opened after a loud boom.

"How dare you" Wang Zunyan said, his eyes were flashing orange as the rage he felt inside threatened to escape.

Wang Jun took a step forward, the nerve of this boy, did he just say what he thinks he said.

"Say it again, i think i didn't hear you clearly"

"Wang Jun..." Wang Jing said trying to remedy the situation, her husband however gave her a death glare, the expression alone made her quiver.

"I said how dare you! Ah Xi had just lost his sight and now his mother, what would you do huh!"

"You....you talk back to me boy!"

The bells jingled welcoming a cold breeze inside the palace as father and son stared off, Wang Jing could had only one choice to stop this, she fainted.

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Li Qiang and Li Jun were at the lake, the reflection of the moon on the water providing dim light.

"Li Qiang....are you okay?"

He was silent, how did he feel? He didn't know himself, he was feeling angry, sad, disappointed and numb....so what should he say?

"I feel.....lost"

Li Jun nodded, her mind takes her to the day the four of them made an oath to always be together, she choked out a sob.

"We promised to be always together, now look"

Li Qiang turned to her, his eyes stung with unshed tears.

"He will come back to us, i believe he will come back, don't you?"

"If the heavens give him a chance to reincarnate then I'll be grateful but....if he comes back and we're all dead, then what?"

Li Qiang turned to the lake, he threw a pebble and sighed.

"Ever heard of the saying, sishou zhongsheng"

Li Jun smiled at his response and nodded.

"Always be together"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Later that night, Wang Jun laid in bed asleep, the dreams this time were new, no more dark void just a field of flowers, he could even smell them.

His hand picked the flower and he smiled.

"Yuqiong flower"

The flower had been a memento for him, the place where he and Li Xiwang first shared a kiss, the first time he chuckled and smiled.

Suddenly he heard something, the soft melody from a seven string Guqin made his heart race, the melody was sad making the flowers wither.

He walked towards the sounds and paused, there sat Li Xiwang, his white robe stained with his tears, the blood laced tears running down his face.
