Remember that Xiao Zhan is Wei Ying / Wei Wuxian.

Agree. All good.

He had dressed himself (luckily, he didn't put anything out of place), tame that long hair and take Suibian, which is real and not an imitation. When he took it out of its sheath, he had been amazed at how incredible the sword was.

And how the hell was he going to ride it?

He had the memories of Wei Wuxian, he knew things that not even the owner of the original body knew but he had no idea how to ride on a sword! Nor use spiritual energy!

Gods please have mercy on this poor mortal soul.

Xiao Zhan could only calm down (barely) and walk outside where Jiang Cheng kept yelling at him to hurry up. His hands felt sweaty, his heart was beating a thousand per hour and if he wasn't a pro actor he would already have an anxious expression that would set off the alarms of all who know Wei Wuxian. But here is another problem.

Xiao Zhan is not sure if he will be able to represent Wei Wuxian one hundred percent, it is one thing to do it before the cameras for a short time and another to do it twenty-four hours a day. It would be no good for your mental or emotional health. He would try to pass as imperceptibly as possible, after all one of his goals is not to attract Lan WangJi's attention.

"What have you been up to now? We have been waiting for you for an eternity" Jiang Cheng reproached when he saw his friend-brother arrive.

"Sorry" he forced a smile that passed as soft "I don't feel very well today."

"Does A-Xian feel bad?" Jiang Yanlin's soft voice was drenched in concern as he approached and touched his forehead to see if he had a fever "I saw you very pale last night too."

Xiao Zhan felt a little guilty in the bottom of his heart, the poor woman was only acting genuinely but he is taking advantage of it. He felt horrible and could only comfort himself, it was this or it was to expose himself and die for real this time.

"Please don't worry Shijie" he took her hand, giving a gentle squeeze "It will pass soon but I'm not sure I can fly on my sword" he looked at Suibian at his waist "I will have to bother Shidi to take me".

Jiang Cheng who has been observing everything and only reacted until he had his Shixiong by his side telling him that they were going to travel together on his sword.

What the fuck did Wei Wuxian take to act like this?

Young Jiang obviously cared for his friend-brother, but Wei Wuxian, the last thing he would do even if he was mortally wounded, would be to go on someone else's sword or show weakness. It has to be very serious to act like that, so when they took off he had slowed down and they weren't flying that high.

Xiao Zhan had been impressed with how the sword had responded to Jiang Cheng's order and floated in the air and then the two of them got on. This was awesome! And it was even more, when they ascended and he could appreciate the entire landscape, the Lotus Pier was too beautiful from the sky.

Can't wait for him to master this art too and be able to fly like this!

Xiao Zhan had already noticed that Jiang Cheng was not flying as he should from the whispers of the other sect members who were following them and he and his brows were furrowed in concern.

A beautiful (involuntary) smile shone on Wei Wuxian's face, drawing the gaze of some subordinates who flew nearby with their jaws dropped. Wei Wuxian was someone attractive, very handsome as a general rule, but it was the first time that 'beautiful' was added to it. Some looked at each other in confusion as to whether they had seen well or suffered from heat stroke. Everyone had already noticed that the young master Wei today had another air around him, that said he felt bad and now it was a strange smile ... it caused more than a chill.

It sure is because he feels bad.

"We will arrive soon, so we will go to the nearest city to rest" Jiang Cheng advised.

Xiao Zhan instantly tensed, when they went to rest in an inn, they had forgotten the passes there and Wei Wuxian had to go back for them but when he returned the curfew had passed, he broke the barrier and entered, when he did, he carried a few jugs of Emperor's Smile with him and that alone had already broken more than ten rules. Later it was the first or second meeting with the Second Lan Jade and there he had marked his destiny.

Poor Xiao Zhan did not even dare to draw the sword at his waist, much less disrespect someone like Lan Qiren or break any rules, he was willing to comply with all of them. That would be torture and most importantly, staying away from the 'ice block' was another important mission as well.

"Operation get away from the ice block, underway" he muttered to himself.

"What have you said?" asked his Shidi in front of him.

"...nothing"
