Xiao Zhan arrived exhausted at the entrance to the Cloud Recess, there was no one there and thank goodness he brought his identification badge with him or he would have no way to enter.

No, he didn't want to be just like stupid Wei Wuxian and break through the barrier.

He was very clear that curfew had passed, it was not Xiao Zhan's fault, but the spiteful stupid LanLing Jin cultivators and when he thought everything was fine, he had to review what he left incomplete last time. Although he gave specific directions, he still had to check everything for himself.

Therefore, when he realized the time, the sky was already dark and he knew he was in serious trouble.

Not wanting to meet any guards, Wei Wuxian had to scale the wall and walk across the roof. He took a look for moors on the coast and when he didn't see anyone, he jumped.

If it weren't for the reflections from this body, Xiao Zhan was sure that he would've ended up with his throat slit.

Who the fuck does that?!

Ah yes, Lan Er Ge is here standing guard, like the good disciple he is.

"Lan Er Ge why are you just attacking me like that?"

"You have broken the curfew."

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes, it was obvious that this guy wouldn't leave him alone. Young man, you're only fifteen. Calm down!

"Second Young Master Lan, please forgive this poor soul, but I had to go to attend to some urgent matters and it took me longer than I thought" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but swallow his words and be courteous to the other's indifferent attitude. young man "Have mercy, WangJi-xiong."

"Breaking the rules equals being punished" was the only thing Lan WangJi said compared to the novel recited by Wei Ying.

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, he was really in a bad mood, it was not usual for him to be in this mood but with all the things he was going through and the stress he was going through was taking him to the limit. Without thinking about the consequences, he drew Suibian and confronted Lan Zhan, Xiao Zhan really appreciated that Wei Ying was so talented in everything and that he transmigrated into his body and not the one of some ordinary human.

It would have been hell.

Under the starry sky and the moon as a spectator of the confrontation of the two young men, only the sound of the clash of the two swords was the only thing that could be heard together with the gasps and curses from Wei Wuxian. (Note of the translator: So much for XZ trying to "be as far as he could from Lan Zhan" and "not being as stupid as Wei Ying" 😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

Damn it! Is he not tired or what?

"..."

When Wei Wuxian wanted to reply, he found that his lips were sealed and could only make strange sounds. Knowing very well what this means, Xiao Zhan could only sigh in his blood-dripping heart, sheathed his sword and followed the culprit in his now terrible mood.

[...]

Xiao Zhan knew in advance where Lan Zhan would take him, so he was not surprised to see old man Lan QiRen and his nephew, sect leader Lan XiChen, gathered in the main room. The two Lan were surprised to see young Wangji accompanying a young man who seemed not at all happy.

"WangJi" Lan XiChen called softly to his brother, looking between him and the other young man "What happened?"

"He broke the curfew."

Xiao Zhan no longer knew how many times he had rolled his eyes in less than an hour, it sure could be considered a record.

The Lan Clan leader looked at Wei Wuxian for an explanation on his part, and Xiao Zhan pointed one hand to his lips and then to Lan WangJi.

"WangJi, remove Young Master Wei's silence spell."

"Do you know me, Zewu-Jun?" Xiao Zhan asked, he already knew that the other man had that information, yet he still had to follow the lines so as not to find surprises.

"You are Wei Wuxian, member of the Yunmeng Jiang sect" Zewu-Jun smiled slightly "Younger brother of Jiang YanLi and shixiong of the future sect leader, Jiang Wanyin, right?"

"That's right" he bowed "Excuse my lack of manners, but the second brother Lan did not give me the opportunity to explain my reasons and I have been a bit upset" he bowed again this time to Lan QiRen "I apologize"

Zewu-Jun just remained smiling as usual, looked at his quiet brother for a few moments before speaking again.

"Don't worry young master Wei, but you must know that our rules are important and all the disciples who have come here must obey them."

"I understand Zewu-Jun" said Xiao Zhan without taking his eyes off the ground "I really know that very well, unfortunately something came up and I did not calculate exactly how long it would take, I regret having broken the rule" he clenched his hands into fists on his white clothes "But I do not regret keeping my word, that person needed me and I could not turn my back on him" he looked up, Wei Wuxian's eyes had a shine of determination "So I accept any punishment that is imposed to me"

Lan XiChen smiled at Young Master Wei's determination and then looked at his uncle who had a strange expression that he couldn't read, he looked at his brother who was as quiet as ever, looking at Wei Wuxian with those sharp eyes. The first Lan stifled a laugh.

"That is WangJi's job" he called to his brother "What is the punishment for Young Master Wei?"

"Rewrite the rules ten times"

"..." Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Zhan in confusion.

Hey? Only ten times? Wasn't it in the original story 100 times or something like that?

"Okay" he bowed, standing up, he stayed in place with the gaze of the three Lan fixed on his person and Xiao Zhan looking at the body lying on the stretcher covered with a sheet.

"Hey?" Said Wei Ying "Zewu-Jun why is he covered with a white sheet? Is he already dead?"

"What do you mean, Young Master Wei?"

"This morning he was still alive when my brother and I saw him"
