"Gongzi. your arm needs treatment, please allow me."

He heard a female voice.

Wei Wuxian turned to see a woman in white with red sun robes with a boy who's around his age behind her.

"Who-"

"I may be a Wen, but I mean no harm, your wound there will get infected if not healed properly." Wei Wuxian nodded and allowed the female to get to work.

Once done and treated she kowtowed to him along with her brother "Us dafan Wen thank you for taking care of the corpses around here, I am Wen Qing and my younger brother Wen Ning."

Wei Wuxian waved her off "Don't worry about it, I was testing some new talismans I made, I am Wei Wuxian."

This threw them off "I see you've heard the rumors then." he laughed awkwardly "Gongzi, do you need a place to stay? My village and I could give you a place to stay for the night." Wen Qing asked.

"If I am no bother."

"I-its no b-bother g-gongzi." Wen Ning spoke and Wei Wuxian smiled "Then I would be grateful." the three then decided to walk towards the village.

Wen Qing then spoke "I heard about you being whipped."

Wei Wuxian flinched "Ahh...I guess we're starting from there huh?" He chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah I did...I didn't think the rumors would go pretty far but here we are I guess?" He smiled.

"Would you mind if I take a look at it? I might be able to find a way to remove the scars."

Wei Wuxian huffed "The Jiang healers couldn't remove it over the years, you sure you want to take up the challenge?" He asked raising a brow.

"J-Jie is the best d-doctor h-here! She can c-cure it for s-sure!" Wen Ning stuttered out "A-Ning! Stop stuttering! He's not going to eat you!" Wen Qing said "S-sorry..."

Wei Wuxian was stunned "If you'd let me then I would like to try." Wen Qing then said "What do you want" Wei Wuxian asked "Pardon?" Wen Qing looked confused.

"What do you want in return?" He asked her again and the girl thought for a second before looking at her brother and back at Wei Wuxian.

"If it isn't a bother, I heard you were an excellent archer, you could teach my brother, he's interested in it but people wouldn't teach him." Wen Qing asked earning a shy "J-Jie!" From Wen Ning.

Wei Wuxian smiled "Why not? I'd be glad to teach your brother!"

"Great! Now come! Let me see your back! Follow me We've arrived at the village!"

"Madam Yu was supposed to be a WHAT!?MMMmmmM!"

Jin Zixuan yelled out in shock which made Lan Wangji silence him.

"Too loud." was what he said.

"Continue." Lan Xichen said to Nie Huaisang.

"Could this be the secret Jin Guangshan was hiding?" Jin Zixuan asked as he refused to call his Sect Leader 'Father'.

"I don't know, but if it is then shouldn't he be bouting it in front of Sect Leader Jiang? He's shameless like that." Nie Huaisang rolled his eyes.

"But anyway, imagine how her reputation would be if this would be leaked? She was the 3rd lady, only good for alliance, she doesn't know anything about being a Madam much less the history of the Jiang sect."

The three nodded at Nie Huaisang's words.

"You're right about that, but how about we wait for a bit until people find the rumors a bit boring and then we could add on to it." Lan Xichen suggested.

"Not bad." Lan Wangji commented.

And then he stood "Where are you going?" Jin Zixuan asked "To write a letter to Wei Ying because everyone else is boring." and with that he left the room.

"Wei Wuxian should be asleep by now?" Jin Zixuan asked and Nie Huaisang just gave him a look "Wei-xiong sleeps at 1 am and rises at 9 am He's still awake unless he's absolutely tired."

—————————

Wen Qing was examining the scars "Mind telling me the treatments they used for your scars?" She asked and Wei Wuxian laughed awkwardly "This might be useless but she uses the same ingredients you use for deeper cuts on your body?" It sounded like a question but he hoped it would help because his bad memory isn't much help.

"Quite useless as there are many types but I'll try to see what I can do, Mind explaining how the weapon works and attacks? This might help with the herbs I should find and use."

Wei Wuxian nodded, "It's kind off like lightning, and it burns your skin when it touches, depending of their anger, that's how much pain you'll be feeling at the receiving end." he paused trying to let the bad memories not get to him.

"Take your time."

"And...you know when you accidentally burn your hands? It's like that but right at the back, and...err...like a normal whip but it feels like fire...I'm just repeating everything aren't I?"

Wen Qing didn't answer his question but nodded "That might be enough, did they try some of the herbs they used for burns mixed with the salve they gave you?"

Wei Wuxian thought about it before shaking his head.

"I don't think they did."

"Yeah, let's try that but I'll add some scarring ointment with it and see if there will be changes to remove the scars in a week." She said as she went towards a bookshelf and took out a book and began researching.

"You can go and hangout with A-Ning...NOT A SINGLE HAIR OUT OF PLACE." she threatened him with her needles if he dares hurt her brother.

"I'll be careful!" With that he left the room.

"Wei-gongzi."

"Wen Qionglin." he greeted and Wen Ning shook his head "P-please, just call me W-Wen Ning." he offered.

"Then Wen Ning, call this rogue Wuxian or Xian-ge as I think I am older than you."

"W-Wei-gongzi I can't-"

"I insist."

"V-very well..."

Wei Wuxian smiled "Well Wen Ning, mind me showing me towards the place where you practice?"

Wen Ning nodded "H-How about a quick lunch? G-granny must have s-something made."

As if on cue, Wei Wuxian stomach grumbled which made him laugh.

"Sure! I'd be alad to have some food!" The two made their way towards one house "Granny, w-we have a g-guest" Wen Ning announced as he entered the house and Wei Wuxian saw an elderly woman.

"A-Ning, who is your friend?" The granny asked.

"This one is called Wei Wuxian Ma'am" he intro himself.

"Bah! Call me granny! Come, you two, sit down, I'll get you some food." the woman smiled as she went to grab it.

"Thank you, the food looks delicious." Wei Wuxian smiled and Granny Wen waved him off "Eat up young man, you're still growing, A-Ning, go hang out with your new friend! I will take a nap."

With that said the woman made her way towards one of the rooms.

"She's nice." Wei Wuxian commented as he took a bite out of the food "And this is delicious!" He complimented and Wen Ning nodded "G-granny likes to s-spend time c-cooking."

"Let's eat and go out to your practice field shall we?" Wen Ning agreed with the older and the two ate their food quietly.

—————————

It was lunch time in cloud Recesses, the Jiang Heir was radiating a deadly aura around him.

It has been a few days after the rumor that Wei wuxian was the supposed to be heir and of his true parentage had gotten out and as the cultivation world saw him as a higher ranking than the Jiang Family, Wanyin was salty.

What did the elders see in him!? And what!? THAT WEI CHANGZE WAS THE SUPPOSED TO BE HEIR!? I'LL SHOW THOSE ELDERS THAT I AM FIT FOR THE THRONE!' He clenched his fists 'I'll prove them wrong! Once Yunmeng becomes the greatest Sect! I will bring those who wronged me DOWN!'

Jiang Wanyin's patience was being tested, not like he had any in the first place, he already has 2 whip scars on his back that would never fade what more if he gets banished!? His reputation as Sect heir and soon to be sect Leader will be a joke to the people!

His father told him to make friends and form alliance at an early age but why should he make friends!? Those people around him are useless.

He then stood up and made his way towards his class as they had an exam.

Jiang Wanyin was confident he would get top marks, after all he's a Sect heir! His mother taught him what he needed to know and reviewed them diligently!

He would glare at anyone who will dare come near him.

Those peasants don't need to be in the presence of a sect heir.

He was making his way towards the orchid room when he heard laughter coming from his right.

He saw that it was Nie Huaisang laughing with Jin Zixuan trying to hold back his laugh at whatever paper Lan Wangji was holding as the said man was pouting.

He decided to overhear their conversation, it's not like Master Lan would come yet as class isn't until another 10 minutes.

"WAAH Ji-Xiong! What did you wrote to Wei-xiong for him to call you a pervert!?" Nie Huaisang was holding his stomach as he held on to Jin Zixuan for dear life.

"I told him he should've kissed me on the lips..." the older mumbled as he folded the paper neatly and tucked it in his robes.

'This son of a servant-' Jiang Wanyin paused, he can't use that anymore as Wei Changze was the runaway heir 'SON of a whore became a whore himself!' He raged out before crossing his arms.

"Lan Wangji, you both only met like 3 and a half months ago, it's a little too early for a kiss." Jin Zixuan pointed out and Lan Wangji wanted to cry.

'I've known him for yeaaaaarrrsss though! HE'S THE ONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW MEEE WAAHHG MAMA I NEED YOU!' He wanted to wail it out loud but him knowing the future would be a great risk.

Onlv two people know, and it should stay as such.

"But still, who wouldn't want to kiss a beauty like me?" Lan Wangji said which make Jin Zixuan look at him up and down.

"Uhh not me."

Lan Wangii stared at him "Well good for you I don't want to kiss your crusty dusty face."

"My face is good looking!"

"I'm sorry but you ranked 3rd and I ranked 2nd on the list."

"Isn't pride forbidden in your Sect?"

"I'm not being prideful but stating facts."

"Anyways, Wei-xiong will be here soon, so stop scaring us and other disciples."

"If he's here then sure." Lan Wangji went back to his stoic demeanor and made his way towards the orchid room where the trio were met with Jiang Wanyin.

As Jiang Wanyin was going to open his mouth Nie Huaisang spoke "Careful Jiang-xiong, one more toe out of line and you are out." Jiang Wanyin glared at the Nie Heir who cowardly hid behind Jin

Zixuan.

"Get to your respective seats" Lan Qiren announced as he entered the room and the students followed.

"No cheating, No talking while taking the exam..."Lan Qiren went on and said the rules for the test that they have to follow or consequences will happen.

"Any failures, one will copy the book of conduct 5 times." he warned.

And so they all started to take on the test.
