"Greetings Second Master Lan, the son of the Yunmeng Jiang sect leader, Jiang Wanyin" Jiang Cheng rushed to greet before allowing his brother to ruin things as he only knows how to do, he bowed, looked reproachfully at his brother who imitated his action "I am here with my older sister, Jiang YanLi and my older brother Wei Wuxian, it is an honor to be able to receive the lessons from the Lan Clan"

"It is my honor" was Lan WangJi's simple reply.

Everyone was silent, Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say so he just looked at his brother and Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Zhan who was looking back at him coldly.

"Something tells me that you are of few words" Xiao Zhan river "That way you won't get a wife". (Note of the translator: He doesn't need a wife... He already has you!)

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened at the stupid joke that his idiot friend just told.

Lan WangJi just gave him an icy look, without showing any expression and with the same air of "I'm superior, don't touch me" he left leaving a funny Wei Wuxian and a Shidi who almost had a cardiac arrest.

"Wei Wuxian! What are you doing provoking the second Lan ?!" he exploded after a few seconds in shock "Don't you remember what father and mother told us?"

"Don't get like that. Can't anyone say their opinion here or what?" Wei Ying commented with a bored expression "I bet it's not the first time someone has told him this and I know exactly what Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu said, I'm not going to cause problems" the younger's look clearly said 'I don't believe you anything ' "You'll see, I'm going to be good."

Xiao Zhan not wanting to talk about the same topic, decided to find one that is entertaining and interesting for the two of them to talk while walking towards the dining room for dinner, today there would be no lessons, they are starting until tomorrow, due to the arrival of other new students.

In Gusu Lan they dine early and the curfew was at nine o'clock at night, and no one can break the curfew. Xiao Zhan, knowing what is to come in the next few days, began to plot and search his memory for the dialogue and important events that will occur.

When Xiao Zhan was about to go down a corridor, some members of the Lan Clan were carrying a body on a stretcher, Xiao Zhan was left blank and Jiang Cheng looked at the body in horror.

"What happened to him? Has he been hurt?" Jiang Cheng asked his brother beside him.

"Injured? I'd say dead."

"Dead? How can he be dead if he's still breathing?"

"Witchcraft"

"Witchcraft?"

Both Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan, who was ahead of the two brothers, narrowed their eyes curiously at young Wei's words.

Witchcraft?

"Second Young Master, where do we take him?"

"Take him inside with Uncle and Xiong Zhang (1)" Lan WangJi's tone of voice was indifferent, he kept thinking about what Wei Wuxian said.

[...]

Xiao Zhan came out of the dining room, he had eaten hospital food, there was no other way to call that. The soup was Chinese medicine and the food without seasonings or meat was what you eat in a hospital. In truth Xiao Zhan did not complain, a few years ago he had been on a strict diet to lose weight fast and compared to the Lan food, the latter was a delicacy compared to what he ate at that time.

But later when he became famous and decided to learn to cook, he stopped torturing himself in losing weight and decided to follow a healthy and balanced diet. Now that he had transmigrated into this body, he was unaware of Wei Wuxian's ability to eat and could not be guided by the mere fact that he was physically equal to his otherworldly "me". One of the many differences is the ability to resist when drinking alcohol, Wei Wuxian was a god in that fact but Xiao Zhan was a total failure, with only two glasses he was already drunk, and we're talking about two glasses of red wine.

Xiao Zhan sighed as he looked at the sunset, it was barely seven thirty or so he calculated with the naked eye.

What can I do?

Jiang Cheng was talking to some young masters from other sects that he knows, and since Xiao Zhan had no idea who they were, he decided to leave, Jiang YanLi had retired to his room to rest. In short, he had nothing to do.

Could I get out?

He wouldn't be breaking any rules if he came back before nine, and he had reason enough to travel to town anyway. He wanted to improve his abilities to fly on the sword, before going out he checked if he was wearing the piece of Jade that allowed the entrance and exit of the Recess of the Clouds, when he saw that everything was in order, he went out.

The figure in white who saw everything from the top of the stairs, remained standing there even after Wei Wuxian had left.

(1) 兄長 Xiong Zhang: Term used by Wangji to call Xichen, it's like a formal way to say Gege (elder brother). I apologize if I'm not using it right in this context, I only read this term in Mo Dao Zu Zhi (novel) and my knowledge of Mandarin/Chinese is very basic, but I thought it sounded nice.
