    Summary

    Sun Tzu said, "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak." Wei WuXian had been one of the top ranked young masters of his generation. He was extremely well educated.

    When the invasion came, resentful energy swirled and bodies fell like rain, and no one counted, no one pretended to care about the individuals. The final explosion that killed the Yiling Patriarch destroyed his body utterly, and with his destruction, the wards that had made the land habitable for the Wen remnants disappeared as well. Wei WuXian had been the only person to survive being cast into the burial mounds and he was the only reason that others had survived entering it as well. With his death, even his killers were forced to flee.

    They retreated and celebrated their great success, and no one went back to the burial mounds.

    "No one" in this case, included A-Yuan as a child and all of his relatives who had hidden in Yiling village for the duration of the invasion. "No one" included the Yiling Patriarch who had a mountain of corpses available to him, to create a battle and lose it utterly so that he would never be attacked again.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji did not know how to conceal his interest, so he did not. He was sure that Wei-gongzi knew, his cheeks flushing, words stumbling whenever he caught the intensity of Lan Wangji's gaze.


    Lan Wangji meets Yunmeng Jiang's Wei-gongzi during a nighthunt. Even if he had no interest in the cultivation competitions, Lan Wangji should have met Wei-gongzi during Gusu Lan's guest lectures earlier, or at least heard of his capabilities. The both of them travel together for a month, and Lan Wangji becomes sure that the kind, brave, and intelligent Wei Ze is his life's cultivation partner.
