FATED LOVE |BL

Li Jie walked around the Xiangyun Pavilion, his mind racing with questions about the water ghosts that suddenly emerged.

Could it be that when Wang Zunyan came over looking for Li Xiwang he accidentally opened up the earth that was once a graveyard?

No that can't be, water ghosts are usually the spirits of people who drowned, no one has ever drowned when they arrived here, so how?

Could it be that before they arrived in Shangqing there were people who had drowned before? And their corpses covered by lost items over the years?

Li Qiang walked up to him and bowed.

"Sect leader, the situation is now under control, no need to worry"

He nodded yet his eyebrows were still furrowed.

"Li Qiang, when you look at source of the water ghosts, did you notice anything?" He asked.

Li Qiang frowned and scratched his head, he had seen a water ghost before so the ones they caught didn't look unusual, just the same green mouldy skin and the desire to take over people's bodies.

"No sir, they look...like the ones I've caught before"

"I see....prepare a boat for me, i have to see something"

"Yes sir"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Wang Zunyan found himself in the same dream again but this time, Li Xiwang was wearing a red robe, his hair was down and wet.

"Li Xiwang...where are you?"

"Ah Zun....help me....I'm drowning"

He ran to him, the ground suddenly got wet, the thick mud making his movements slow and unsteady.

"Li Xiwang!"

"Ah Zun!"

He woke up sweating buckets, his breathing heavy and uncoordinated. He sat in the lotus position and closed his eyes, his Qi was unstable for a moment so he has to do the Tu Na Breathing. He exhaled deeply and opened his eyes. He felt the turmoil inside him simmer down and eventually disappear, he sighed.

"These dreams...what do they mean?"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Zhang Wei smiled when he looked around the palace he had just cleaned by himself, he walked out to find his friends walking to the palace.

"Zhang Wei?" Zhang Xiu Ying asked in shock, after the funeral of the sect leaders the three had been in hiding in fear of being spotted by Liu Wei and Zhang lei Wang.

"Xiu Ying?"

He felt both happy and angry, he didn't know what to do, could it be that what Wang Zunyan told him made things a little....clear for him.

"We thought you had left the sect, we looked everywhere for you" Zhang Jing said.

"We thought you gave up the sect so we decided to return and look after it" Zhang Shao wen said walking up to him.

"Thank you guys....Zhang Shi will rise again for sure now that I have you three with me"

They smiled at him and bowed.

"Congratulations Sect leader on cleaning the palace by yourself"

They all shared a laugh, Zhang Wei felt like a burden was lifted off his shoulders, he can now focus of finding Zhang Lei Wang.

"Let's head inside, I want you to see my handiwork"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

"Thou shall not steal, thou shall not gossip, thou..."

He walked around listening to the new disciples recite the sect principles, he smiled when they were finished.

"Good...again"

Li Qiang and Li Jun whom were standing beside a nearby tree laughed at the scene.

"They should be glad Madam Li Na isn't here to whip them" Li Qiang said.

"I agree, sect leader Li Jie is soft, must be from the cultivation of the heart"

They laughed again, something caused the lake water to ripple and it caught their attention.

"What was that?"

"I'll go call Li Jie"

Li Jun walked slowly to the lake, something was inside the water, she could feel it.

Li Jie and Li Qiang joined her.

"What happened?" Li Jie asked, Li Jun could only point to the lake.

"There's something in there"

Li Jie frowned, he threw a blank talisman to the water and watched in horror as the water rumbled and then settle as if nothing happened.

They all took a step back.

"What was that?" Li Qiang asked with his sword drew.

Li Jie was silent, this was a situation that needed a master of the dizi and unfortunately for him, the two people in the sect that were good at that are now gone.

"Do any of you have a dizi or a xiao flute?"

To his dismay they shook their heads in refusal.

"We have to solve this before it heads into Luxi river"

Wang Zunyan was in the library, his fingers laid across the Guqin as he tried to remember the melody Li Xiwang played in his dream.

Wang Jing watched from the door with heartache written on her face, why was her son pushing her away?

"Ah Zun...maybe I can help" she offered. He didn't want to involve her but he needs to decode this melody. He sighed.

Wang Zunyan turned to her, he scooted over for her to sit. She smiled and sat down.

"Which melody do you want to hear I can play it"

He nodded and hummed it to her, the melody was sad and dark, after he was done she raised her fingers and begun to play.

"Under the cherry blossoms, surrounded by the

She softly laid her hands on the strings and turned to her now crying son.

"Ah Zun....is this...from Li Xiwang?"

Wang Zunyan nodded, she hugged him and calmed him down, never has she seen him like this, it seems that cultivator was right, he was starting to portray uncommon behaviour.

"Ah Zun...do you...love Li Xiwang?"

It was silent, Wang Zunyan decided to be honest with himself and to others, it was for the best.

"The first time I saw Li Xiwang i thought he

would be an egomaniacal person but little did I know....that he will run away with my heart"

Wang Jing smiled at him, she was finally getting the truth.

"No matter whom you love Ah Zun....your mother will always be here....cheering you on"

He smiled and hugged her.

"Thank you mother"

Suddenly the doors opened with a bang. A very furious Wang Jun entered the room, with his anger laced voice he roared.

"What nonsense did I just hear?"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Zhang Wei was at the memorial temple, the golden paper burning for his parents as he bowed while kneeling. He smiled.

"Mother, father....I cleaned up the palace for you....don't worry though, I will bring my people back home, Zhang lei Wang will never win"

The candles dimmed down for a moment making him smile, he stood up and left.

He knows it will be hard but he knows he has to do it, for himself, for his parents and for his people.

"Zhang shi sect will rise again....trust me"

........⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱.........

Feng Qiao was in the dungeons, after his little stunt for trying to kick out the Prince was heard by the emperor and his wife he was sent to dungeons for life, treason is what they called his crime.

The doors opened and someone stopped at the door.

"Feng Qiao....are you tired?"

He couldn't see his visitor because his eyes had been blinded by the emperor's fire fist but the person's voice was familiar, it was from a youngster, female.

"Who are you?"

The person only cackled and tapped the bars with a stick.

"Feng Qiao....are you tired?"

Was he? Yes, just thinking about it made him emotional. He choked out a sob and nodded, the pain he was going through at the moment was too much to endure, his eyes were paining him and his golden core was getting weak by the day.

"Take this then, it will help you feel comfortable" the person said, he reached out and felt a small cup be placed on his palms.

He shakily took a sip and the liquid was sweet and minty, he smiled.

"Is this liquor? My friend you bought me liquor how kind"

No one responded to him, he shrugged and chugged the rest of the liquid down, he sighed and leaned against the wall, with a smile on his face, his golden core was immediately shattered and he died immediately.

Like the person had just said, he would be comfortable, even in death.
