"A'die, I miss A'niang~..." five years old girl pouted with a sad expression l11ooking at her father with her wide innocent eyes, "I hate the gods for taking him even before I could see him~...I hate myself for causing his death~..."

"ssh~...A Xue~...listen~...I don't want you to blame yourself for your mother's death, your mother loves you and he wants you to live~...before your mother's death, he told me to tell you this... 'you are the greatest things that ever happened to him, the only one and thing that he willing to surrender his life for in order his precious person live~...he gave his life for you to live, the only things you can do to repay him is to love yourself and never blame yourself for whatever he did for you, willingly...live a better life, be strong and be happy in whatever situation you were put in~...even If you die, you have to rise again and come back stronger, like a phoenix, do you understand??~..."

"hmm~...A' Die!~...I will~...I will always remember what mother wants me to be~...it looks like I could only do that if you stay here with me forever~...promise that you will always stay beside me, A'die, or else...you will disappoint me!~..."

The man in white robe smiled, "of course, I will stay by your side forever~...I will watch you find someone you love, getting married, and have kids your own~...then only I could die peacefully~..."

"i don't want you to die~, I want you to live forever~...you can only die, after I die~..."

The man in white robe smiles, "hm~...how demanding~, you're just like your mother~...hehe~...sure, love~...I will do as you say~..." giving a peck on the little girl's forehead as the little girl giggle, unknowing the day of things changes into miseries is coming to her at the day of her officially 8th birthday...

________________________________________________________________________________

"A Die!~..." little girl run towards the man in white who was grasping on his bleeding wound on his chest, he was on his knees and vomiting blood from his mouth...

"Daozhang!~..." the teenager looked shocked at what happen to Xiao Xingchen, she glared at the person who have caused all this,that bad guy was smirking, she was shocked when she sees another daozhang in black lifelessly lying on the floor, "Song Lan ge~..."

"A Xue~..." he know he wont live anytime this round soon, he will be with his deceased wife today... he extended his hand and Jiang Zai appeared in his grasp, he also took Shuang Hua and handed it to XingXue, "take shuang hua and jiang zai~....I have taught you everything~, use your strength to protect yourself~..."

"I don't want to protect myself~..I want to go with you and a'niang~..." the girl sobs harder... "you promise you will never leave me~...why on my birthday??~...A'niang left today too~..."

"A' die loves you, A Xue~...remember what a'niang and I said~...Don't blame yourself for what happen to us~..." As he said that, his breath get suffocating, and finally his soul left his body and gone from the world forever...

"A'die!!~....wuaaaaaaa!!~...tsk!~ tsk!~...A'die!!~...please don't leave!!~...A'niang!!~...please wake A'die!!..." XingXue sobs and screamed for his A' die to wake up, but unfortunately his dad have gone to the gods forever and be with her mother...

Her sobs subsided as she eyed Wen Chao with glares, vengeance, grudges and everything she felt in her emotions started to take over her minds, she heard about him, Qishan Wen is the most powerful in the whole cultivation world, she bound she avenge her father's death...

A Qing, "A'Xue, let's get out of here~..." she try to drag A'Xue out of Xueyang's funeral parlor, but suddenly a sword slashed at A Qing's back, blood splutter out of her as she fell to the ground and died, A Xue screamed, "sister Qing!!... Sister, wake up...tsk!~...please, wake up!!~...."

Wen Chao's smirks, he walks to her, "no one will protect you, little Xueyang~...now, pack your things, you will be following me to the Nightless City and be one of my whore~..." he chuckled evilly and lustfully...

A'Xue glares at that old man, with her still teary eyes but have dried, "no, you're ugly~..." she spat at Wen Chao disgustedly, Wen Chao strike at A Xue's little chick, "HOW DARE YOU, LITTLE SLUT!!DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!..."

That slap aroused her anger, her mind started twisted, she looks at Jiang Zai then at her mother's image, and muttered, "A'Niang~...help me~..." she looked at Jiangzai, using her enrage to control her mother's sword as suddenly a black smokes come out of Jiang Zai, unsheathed itself as it flew towards Wen Chao's men and killed all of the Wen's dogs....

Even before the Wen dogs could attack they were already attacked first, leaving Wen Chao who watched that in shocks, nervous because he is alone now...

JiangZai has done its job as it was summoned by its owner and returned to A Xue's grasp...

Wen Chao scoffed but A'Xue could see the nervousness and shivering in fear in Wen Chao...

"f-for a ch-child~...y-you're~..."

"I am~..." A'Xue cutted the older man, with her smirks that resembles Xueyang... "now it's your turn~..." with her powers she commands the doors to shut themselves off, with her powers she summoned ShuangHua and Jiangzai together as the two swords move slowly towards each other as it joined and combined as one sword, and doubled tripled its powers, the light of white and black combined as everything on the ground shaking, the thunders and lightning strike at the sky, Wen Chao was shocked what was going on, 'JiangZai and Shuanghua combined?!...good and evil?!...'

"Goddess of Destruction~...how was it??~..." A Xue smirks as her eyes turned to enrage as the sword fly towards Wen Chao who couldn't run away because of A;'Xue's charms...

The swords were about to attack Wen Chao, but suddenly the doors trampled as a man in blue came in...

A'Xue and Wen Chao look towards the newcomer who was known as the famous Lan Sect Leader Zewu Jun, Lan Xichen...

"Lady Xiao!~...please don't or you will be in trouble~..."

A'Xue glares at the man, "how dare you interrupt me?!..." She don't care who he is, of she knows him, Lan Xichen could see the resemblance of Xueyang in that little girl's face, "Young Miss~...hold your anger~..."

"why should I release that bastard who kills my father, my uncle and sister a qing?!..."

Goddess of Destruction flew towards Lan Xichen to kill the great Zewu Jun, but being Zewu Jun he dodged off as the sword couldn't attacked him, but the sword once again fly towards him, immediately he take out shuoyue as he played a soft melody to calm the sword and A Xue's enrage...

The swords calmed and A'Xue's anger started subsiding and she started to feel numbed and finally she fallen asleep, before her small body could touched the floor, Zewu Jun immediately caught her as he picked her up, as the little girl's head rested on his shoulder burying her face in his neck...

Zewu Jun looked at Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan and A Qing's lifeless body as he sighed and shut his eyes, unshut his eyes as he looked at Xiao Xingchen's lifeless body, he eyed at Wen Chao, "Wen Er gongzi~...what have you done??~...Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan never did anything wrong to you~...don't you think its lowly to kill a weak and innocent teenage girl too??~..."

Wen Chao scoffed, "stubborn people like them should know their place~...and that little slut, hand her to me~..." he speaks in serious tone...

Zewu Jun, "she's too young to be hand to you now~..."

Wen Chao scoffed, "hand her or you like to exchange her with your daughter with Jiang WanYin??~...I think your daughter is as beautiful as this little bitch of Xueyang too~..."

Zewu Jun, "Wen Chao!..." he wish he could yield his liebing and slashed Wen Chao's throat, but then, remembering Wen Clan rules the cultivation world, Lan Xichen shrugged that desire...He don't have the heart to hand A Xue to Wen Chao, as his fatherly instinct overwhelm him, and he too refused to hand his own daughter to Wen Chao...

He sighs and shutted his eyes, slowly unshuttered his eyes as he speaks, "sure..." Wen Chao smirks in victory, "but not now~..." Wen Chao, "what??~..." Zewu Jun continued his words, "She's still a child, you could have her when she reached the right age to get legally married~..."

Wen Chao scoffed, "that's too long~...i don't have that kind of patience~..."

Zewu Jun, "you killed her only family, that shows how low you are, patience might be the only way to atone yourself for your sins~...heaven is mad at you right now and won't side you again if Lady Xue is trying to kill you next time, but if you choose to wait, that could be the way for you to atone your mistakes towards Xiao Xingchen, Xiao XingXue, Lady Qing, Xueyang and Song Lan, and you might earn the heaven's favor...earlier if I didn't come immediately, you could be dead in the hands of Lady Xiao...I believe heaven still shows his mercy for you??~..."

Wen Chao silenced and trying to digest everything the older man said, he nodded with arrogant looks... "you're correct~...how convincing~...sure, I will wait~...but, you have to hand her to me when she reached 17~...or else your sect, Yunmeng Jiang Sect will be destroyed ~...or, I will have your daughter to be with me instead~..."

Wen Chao patted Zewu Jun's shoulder and left...

Zewu Jun sighed and looked at XingXue who was sleeping in his shoulder...

He ordered his disciples, burned the wen corpses somewhere, and prepare for Xiao XingChen, Lady Qing, and Song Lan's bodies to be cremated...

An hour later, everything was settled three of the corpses have been cremated and have been arranged together with Xueyang's altar, each of their images were hanged there...

the wen dogs have been burned somewhere because they are evil and must be shunned from this sacred place...

Now Lan Xichen and his disciples paying respect to Xiao Xingchen, Lady Qing, Song Lan, and Xueyang's images...

Lan Xichen vowed, "Xiao Xingchen and Xueyang, I vowed in front of you, that I will protect your daughter as I protect my children~...Xueyang, although you are the enemies of the cultivation world, I don't know the reasons you have become like this, but I believe you have been through a lot...I promise, I will give her the best life and I believe you wanted her to experience a lot of love the things you couldn't have during your childhood~...Don't worry~...If I couldn't protect her from Wen CHao and Wen Clans, I will train her to be stronger, so she could protect herself~...."

As he vowed, suddenly the ground started to shake a little, the porcelain vase that has the cremated ashes of Xiao XingXue loved ones, suddenly burst as the ashes of four dead peoples spills over the table and on the floor...

Lan XIchen and the Lan Clans were shocked, suddenly like the ashes and there's glittery of their souls floated in the air, as they flew towards the sword, Goddess of Destruction as it's absorbed on it, the white light and black smokes surrounded the sword as the sword rise from the ground and flew towards Xichen, but it did not attack him, but as if it wanted to be held by that man...

Xichen took it as he could feel the powerful extraordinary powers of the sword, "Jiangzai and SHuanghua combined into one~...for a little cultivator like you, I believe you will grow as the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world, even stronger than Wen Ruohan..." Xichen smiled assuredly, as he took the sword, he looked at the disciples, "clean these up~..." disciple, "yes, sect leader~..." Lan Xichen walked towards the exit doors and left as he flew back to the cloud recesses by his Liebing...

At the Cloud Recessed, Jiang Cheng and Meng Yao are waiting for their husband with their children...

Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng were an arranged marriage but they do love each other, and Jiang Cheng gave birth to Lan Ming or Lan JingYi and Lan Xia or Jiang Gu Xiang, while Meng Yao is Lan XIchen's first love and Meng Yao gave birth to Lan Jian or Lan GuangYang, so Lan Xichen is the only one in the Lan Sect married twice, but luckily Jiang Cheng was okay with that as long as Lan Xichen being fair and square for him and his children...

Lan WangJi, Wei WuXian, and their son, Lan Yuan or Lan Sizhui, were waiting with grandmaster Qiren...

Lan Xichen came back with a sleeping little girl, as he touched down the ground...

"Lan Huan~.." Jiang Cheng went towards Lan Xichen with his children and Meng Yao's son...

"A'die!~.."

"Lan Er gege!~..." Meng Yao went to Lan Xichen, and greeted him like the others...

"Zewu Jun~...you came back~..." Wei WUxian

"xiongzhang~..." Lan WangJi with his stoic face...

"Uncle Xichen!~..." Lan Yuan greeted his uncle with cheerful face...

Lan Xichen smiled to everyone who greeted him, and he himself greeted uncle Qiren, "uncle~.." Uncle qiren, "hm~..."

Lan Xichen smiled at his children, Lan Jian, Lan Ming and the youngest and the only girl, Lan Xia, Lan Xia seems to be the same age as XingXue...

There's displeased written in Jiang Cheng's face eyeing at that child in his husband's arms, "is that Xueyang's daughter??~.."

But Meng Yao remained with his smile face, "Jiang Zhongzhu~.."

Lan Xichen sighed, and hummed, "hm~..."

"What are you planning to do with her??~..."

Lan Xichen just smiled and looked at his children...

"Children~..." He knelt to the children's height level while still carrying a xue in his arms, his charming smiled plastered in his face...

"a'die!~..."

"Lan Jian, Lan Ming, and Lan Xia~...do you like to have a younger siblings??~..."

"I love to!~..." Lan Xia face brightened, "is that her?!~...she looks like my age, though!~..but doesn't mind, we will be the new twins of Gusu, like you and uncle WangJi, and twin heroes of yunmeng, like uncle Wei and a'niang!~..." Lan Xichen smiles, Wei Wuxian smiled proudly at his niece, Lan Wangji still with his stoic face, meanwhile Jiang Cheng and Lan Qiren was surprised at Xichen's words and Lan Xia's cheering at nonsense...

"You're not getting any siblings, Lan Xia!..." Jiang Cheng snapped, everyone looked at Jiang Cheng, Lan Xia pouted, "but, aniang~..."

"Wanyin~..." Lan Xichen sighed...

Lan Jian interupted, "im okay with it, A'die~...i know Xueyang is a bad person and the most hateful in the cultivation world, but she is also Xiao Xingchen's daughter, if we raised her well here, she will be a good cultivator just like Xiao Xingchen and the other influential cultivators~..." For a young kid like Lan Jian, he is very wise just like his father, very fitting to be the future sect leader of Gusu Lan Sect, in fact he is, as he is the eldest son...even though people looked down at him for being the illegal son of Meng Yao and Lan Xichen...

Jiang Cheng eyed at that young boy, scoffing at his words, 'this kid, wise my foot~..."

Lan Ming interupted, "but A'die he is an evil person's daughter, what if she grow up and become like Xueyang??~..." Jiang Cheng touched by Lan Ming's words as he drew a smirks, this is the actual wise boy, how come that son of Meng Yao get to be the future leader of Lan Sect, jiang cheng rolled his eyes...

Wei WuXian seems to have no problem with it, because a xue is half of Xiao Xingchen as well...who happened to be his martial uncle...

Lan Wangji was two heart about this...

Lan Qiren, "I disagree..this kid could caused chaos in the future~...the elderly of Lan would opposed to this~...it will be a problem for you, send her back to her house~..."

Meng Yao, "Lan er gege~...i have no problem with it~...I will help you in raising her~..."

That alarmed Jiang Cheng, he don't know why, but he don't trust Meng Yao in raising that kid, knowing the history of Xueyang and Meng Yao had last time...he's afraid that this kid will be like Xueyang if she is in the hands of Meng Yao...

He stride forwards immediately, as he took the child from Xichen before Meng Yao could take her, "no~..I'll take care of her~.." Before Xichen could say anything, Jiang Cheng already take her in his arms, and take her away to Lan Xichen's chamber and laid her there so she could sleep comfortably...

Everyone looked at the purple cultivator dumbfounded, "wh-what happen to Jiang Cheng??~..." Wei WUxian looked at everyone...

Lan Xichen smiled at his tsundere's wife, "hm~.."

Meng Yao a little bit offended but he hid it well, "erm~...i guess jiang zhongzhu started to love her~..."

Wei WuXian, "m-maybe~...(?)"

Lan Xichen, "I will have meeting with the elderlies and the sect leaders tommorow~ I will discuss this matter with them~...and will announce Lan XingXue as my official adoptive daughter..."

Lan Qiren shocked,"Lan Xichen!..."

Lan Xichen sighed, "uncle~...im tired, i need to rest~.." He stated seriously as he left to his chamber, there he saw Jiang Cheng was watching A Xue's sleeping with glare in his eyes...

Lan Xichen drew soft smile as he looked at his wife, "Wife~..."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Xichen sitting on the bed near A Xue sleeping as he put the TianYang sword beside A Xue...

"Dont get me wrong~...i just dont want this kid in the hands of Meng Yao, who knows what that fag would plant insides this kid's head...she could caused danger to everyone if she is in the hands of that hobbit~..."

"wanyin~..."

Jiang cheng cutted him, "register her under you and me~....dont worry, we will take of her, I will take care of her using my way~...after all, she's half of Xiao Xingchen~..." He eyed that kid with his sharp eyes...

Xichen smiled, "hm~...of course~"
