My gratitude.

[For whatever Lan Wangji thinks of the matter, it is good that his brother reaches out, to someone that isn't him, isn't their uncle. Seclusion does not suit him, and he should do his best to help Xichen reconnect with the world.

That's all he says for a while, until the nagging feeling that won't go away becomes too much to ignore. Something else he should divulge, if Jiang Cheng truly intends to visit.]

Wei Ying also resides in Cloud Reccesses.

[ Sometimes, it takes someone who understands the burdens to be able to offer support. Jiang Cheng had relied on Lan Xichen, once, a long time ago, when he was a fresh sect leader and needed someone to show him how best to lead, the kind of person he wanted to be.

The message is one he's happy to leave there, until the follow-up comes.

Wei Ying, huh. It irritates him. ]

I know where Wei Wuxian is.

You have not visited him, sent invitation, despite knowing where he is.

[ Does Wangji want him to visit? No. Does he want Wei Ying to ask him to visit? Also no. But he cannot resist stoking this particular flame. ]

I do not need to visit him, nor send him an invitation.

Wei Ying still calls you brother. Yet you do not honour it. Learn the rites of fraternal piety that he is owed.

Wei Wuxian calls many people many things. Where was his fraternal piety before, hm? Do not lecture me, Hanguang-jun.

Do you speak of his piety before or after you drew a sword on him?

Do you speak of his piety before or after he abandoned Yunmeng Jiang?

I recall it was Sect Leader Jiang who announced the severance of bonds.

I recall you were not there when the decision was made.

Wei Wuxian keeps many secrets.

The Wei Ying of old thought himself alone. A shame we both must bear.

Rectify your flaws. Grant your brother the audience he longs for.

And what of your flaws? And his flaws, huh? What about those?

My flaws, irrelevant to you. Wei Ying's forgiveness is the only one I seek.

My flaws are irrelevant to you. I don't care what you have to say about the situation.

You squander that which you should cherish.

Lecture Wei Wuxian, if it means so much to you.

Which topic needs addressed? He assumes he is not welcome in Yunmeng.

He has not even tried, despite being invited in the last time he visited.

The time you invited, only to strike out with Zidian? Or a time since then?

The time since. He knows.

[...Ah. He does not know of that, but neither does he want to give JIang Cheng the satisfaction of knowing that he does not know... so he chooses to ignore it completely!!]

Will you inform him of next week's visitation or not?

He will hear it, if I inform him or not.

Let me rephrase: Will you tell him yourself, or will he hear it from others first?

I am not required to answer your questions.

Very well. Shall announce your itinerary to him in your stead.
