    Summary

    Entry for MXTXFiloWeek2022

    “The cultivation world had turned its back on you, Wei-xiong, Hanguang-Jun had to leave because the lonely path is something he cannot join you in. I admit I am a coward who does not want to be ostracised more than I already am, your brother had abandoned you, even your precious Shijie left you to marry—”

    “I get it, Huaisang!” It hurt to hear all this coming from his best friend, it hurt having to confront these truths and betrayals.

    “What do you want me to do?” Wei Wuxian asked. “Your supplies could only last us for so long, and what then?”

    “Which is why I’ll distract everyone for you. I’ll start a fire big enough to burn the whole place, make everyone think you burned yourself to the ground. I’ll erase your existence so long as you escape.”

    “Why are you doing this, Nie-xiong? If they learn you helped me escape, you’ll be tried for treason!”

    “I can’t be useless forever,” Nie Huaisang said, “not when my best friend could die the moment you take a step towards Lanling.”
