Only after three days, did Wei WuXian finally know of Lan QiRen's bad habit.

Lan QiRen's lessons were not only tediously long, but everything was also tested on. The generational changes of important clans in the cultivation world, the division of their areas of power, famous quotes by famous cultivators, family trees...

"Such a boring topics." commented Wei Wuxian.

"But those are from our ancestors so it is also important for us to know." said Lan Xichen.

Although he didn't understand a single bit as he listened in class, Nie HuaiSang worked as hard as a slave when the date of the test approached. He copied Virtue two times for Wei WuXian, and begged before the test, "Please, Wei-xiong, if my grade is lower than yi, my brother would really break my legs! Stuff like telling apart direct lineage, collateral lineage, main clan, clan branches... For us disciples from big clans, we can't even distinguish our relationships with our own relatives, randomly calling everyone who are more than two tiers away from us aunts and uncles. Does anyone have enough capacity in their brain to remember those of other clans?!"

"What are you guys planning to do?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Da-ge that didn't happened yet." said Nie Huaisang feeling the glare of his brother even if they are far from each other.

As a result of cheating notes flying everywhere in the air, Lan WangJi suddenly attacked during the test, and caught a few initiators of the commotion. Lan QiRen exploded with anger, writing letters to the prominent clans to tell on them. He loathed Wei WuXian-in the beginning, although these disciples could hardly sit still, at least nobody started anything, and their buttocks were able to stick to their legs. However, now that Wei Ying came, the originally spineless brats were influenced by his encouragement, venturing out at night and drinking alcohol however they pleased. The unhealthy practices grew greater and greater. As he had expected, Wei Ying was one of the biggest threats to humanity!

"Nie Huaisang!" shouted Nie Mingjue in rage.

"How dare you cheat during exams?" he asked walking to his brother's loaction.

"Ahh everybody save me!" yelled Nie Huaisang running away.

"Wei Wuxian!" exclaimed Lan Qiren who cough blood.

"Calm down, everyone. That didn't happened yet." said Qingheng-jun.

Nie Mingjue finally sat back down while the two are still hiding.

Jiang FengMian replied, "Ying has always been like this. Please take care to discipline him, Mr. Lan."

And so, Wei WuXian was punished again.

"Just how many times are you going to break the rules?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Until I get bored, I guess." said Wei Wuxian.

At first, he didn't think too much of it. It was only copying texts, and he never lacked people who copied for him. Yet, this time, Nie HuaiSang spoke, "Wei-xiong, even if I want to help you, I can't any more. You'd have to endure it on your own."

Wei WuXian asked, "What happened?"

Nie HuaiSang, "Old... Mr. Lan said that you have to copy both Virtue and Conduct."

"The f*ck." cursed Wei Wuxian.

"Good for you." said Jiang Cheng sarcastically.

"I am going to die!" exclaimed Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji in panic.

"Oh Lan Zhan, I'm just joking." Wei Wuxian said calming the jade.

Conduct was the most complicated section of the twelve sections in the Lan Sect's sect rules. It cited a lot of classics, was terribly long, and had a lot of rarely-used characters. Copy it one time, and one would lose all interest in life. Copy it ten times, and one would fly to Heaven on the spot. Nie HuaiSang added, "He also said that, during the time of the punishment, nobody is allowed to fool around with you or copy them for you."

Wei WuXian wondered, "How would he know if someone copied them for me or not? Surely it doesn't mean that he's making someone watch me."

"Someone is going to monitor you." said Jin Zixuan.

"I wonder what will happen." said Nie Huaisang.

Jiang Cheng spoke, "That's exactly the case."

"..." Wei WuXian spoke, "What did you say?"

Jiang Cheng, "He told you that you're not allowed to go outside and have to go to the Library Pavilion to copy, and also face the wall and reflect upon your mistakes. Of course, there will be someone to watch you. I don't need to tell you who he is, do I?"

"Uncle is setting Wangji up with Wuxian, unknowingly." said Lan Xichen.

"Why did I do that?" asked Lan Qiren to himself.

Inside the Library Pavilion-

"This is the start of their relationship." exclaimed the juniors cheerfully.

There was one bamboo seat, one wooden desk, two candlesticks, and two people. One sat in a proper position, but, on the other side, Wei WuXian had already copied Conduct for more than ten pages. His head felt dizzy and his heart felt bored, so he dropped his pen to take a breath and looked across.

When he was still in Yunmeng, there were a lot of girls who envied that he could come and study with Lan WangJi. They said that each generation was full of nice-looking men, especially the brothers part of the Two Jades in the current generation. Before this, Wei WuXian never had the chance to carefully examine the front of his face. Now that he had a look at it, he started to think random thoughts, He looks quite nice indeed. Yet, if only those girls could come and see him with their own eyes. Looking as bitter as if everyone had offended him or his parents died, it wouldn't matter no matter how nice his face looks.

"Really?" asked Nie Huaisang teasing Wei Wuxian.

"Lan Zhan, that was just my future self's stupid thoughts. Don't believe it." Wei Wuxian said making his friends laugh at him.

"It's still you." mocked Jiang Cheng.

Lan WangJi was recopying ancient books, which were not only old but also unavailable to most others, in the Lan Sect's Library Pavilion. His brushstrokes were slow and steady, and his handwriting was neat yet sharply vigourous. Wei WuXian couldn't help but to compliment him sincerely, "Those are some great characters! They're of the top level."

Lan WangJi remained indifferent.

Wei WuXian rarely kept his mouth shut for such a long amount of time. Feeling suffocated, he thought, I have to sit in front of such a stuffy person for so many hours each day, for a month. Would I even survive?

"You did survive, though." said Jingyi with a laugh.

"Even my nephew is teasing me. Unbelievable." whined Wei Wuxian.

The juniors laughed but suddenly got silenced by Lan Wangji's glare.

At this point of thought, he couldn't help but slightly tilted his body forward.

Wei WuXian was someone who was skilled at finding fun for himself, especially talented in the area of seeking joy amid dull circumstances. Since there wasn't anything else to play with, he could only play with Lan WangJi. He called, "WangJi-xiong."

Lan WangJi remained motionless.

Wei WuXian, "WangJi."

He appeared as if he didn't hear anything.

Wei WuXian, "Lan WangJi."

Wei WuXian, "Lan Zhan!"

"Aaahhhh they look so cute!" squeal some female cultivators.

"How is that cute?" asked Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan at the same time.

"Are you jealous?" asked Wei Wuxian with a grin.

"You're annoying." said Jiang Cheng.

Lan WangJi finally stopped writing, and looked up at him with a cold gaze. Wei WuXian shifted backward, raising his hands as if he was defending himself, "Don't look at me like this. I only called your name because you didn't answer when I called you WangJi. If you're upset, you can also call me back with my name."

"You two are really destined to call each other by your birth names eh." teased Nie Huaisang.

"I wonder how Jiang Cheng and brother-in-law call each other." said Wei Wuxian teasing Jiang Cheng.

"Why does every time Huaisang teases you, I am always your next target?" asked Jiang Cheng in slight anger.

Lan WangJi spoke, "Put your legs down."

Wei WuXian's sitting posture was extremely improper, with a slanted body and legs propped up. Seeing that he finally teased Lan WangJi to the point that he started to talk, the former silently chuckled to himself, as if he finally saw the clouds disperse and the moon appear. Listening to Lan WangJi's words, he put his legs down, but his upper body inched unnoticeably closer, and he pressed his arms onto the desk. It was still an unacceptable sitting posture. He asked in a serious tone, "Lan Zhan. Let me ask you a question. Do you... really hate me that much?"

"No. I don't hate Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji.

"I know, Lan Zhan I know." said Wei Wuxian.

"Mn. Will never hate Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji and they hugged each other tight.

"Such display of affection." said Jiang Cheng in disgust.

"Why don't you hug your husband?" asked Wei Wuxian with a tease.

"I am not as shameless as you." said Jiang Cheng.

Lan WangJi looked down, his lashes casting light shadows onto his jadelike cheeks. Wei WuXian hurriedly added, "Hey, don't be like this, ignoring me again after saying so few words. I want to admit my fault and apologize to you. Look at me."

After a pause, he spoke again, "You don't want to look at me? Sure, then. I'll just start talking. It was my fault during that night. I was wrong. I shouldn't have climbed the wall, I shouldn't have drank alcohol, and I shouldn't have fought with you. But, I swear! It wasn't that I provoked you on purpose-I really didn't look at the sect rules. The sect rules in the Jiang Sect are all told verbally; none of them are written down. Or else, I definitely wouldn't have done that." I definitely wouldn't have finished the jar of Emperor's Smile in front of you. I would have tucked it away and carried it back into my room, secretly drinking it every day and sharing it with everyone until we all had enough.

"Your self just betrayed you." laughed Jin Zixuan.

"Wei Wuxian you-" Lan Qiren shouted before coughing blood again.

"Qiren, no need to punish him." said Qingheng-jun.

"See, even my son Sizhui said that I can do whatever I want." said Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian continued, "And, let's be reasonable-which of us attacked first? It was you. If you didn't attack, we could've communicated nicely and cleared everything up. However, if someone hits me, I'd have to hit them back. This isn't all my fault. Lan Zhan, are you listening? Look at me. Young Master Lan?" He snapped his fingers, "Second Brother Lan, why don't you do me a favor and look at me?"

"Are you that thirsty of his attention?" asked Jin Zixuan in disbelief.

Wei Wuxian was blushing hard that his face was so red.

"I thought you are thick-skinned." said Jiang Cheng with a tease.

"Shut up!" Wei Wuxian shouted.

Lan WangJi didn't even lift his eyes, "Copy it one additional time."

Wei WuXian's body immediately slanted, "Don't be like this. It's my fault, alright?"

Lan WangJi exposed his lie mercilessly, "You do not feel any remorse."

"Wangji knows you well, Wuxian." said Lan Xichen.

"Do you really think Second Young Master Lan will believe him?" asked Su She in disbelief.

"That's my brother after all." said Lan Xichen with his usual smile but didn't reach his eyes.

Wei WuXian spoke as if he didn't have any dignity, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can repeat it however many times you want me to. I can even say it while kneeling down."

Lan WangJi put his brush down. Wei WuXian thought that the other couldn't endure it any longer and finally wanted to beat him up. Just as he got ready to put on a goofy grin, he discovered that his upper and lower lips seemed like they were glued together, so he couldn't laugh.

"Lan Zhan!" exclaimed Wei Wuxian.

"Mn. Sorry Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji while looking down.

"It's okay I forgive you." said Wei Wuxian after seeing his face.

"Now you got to experience the Lan Silencing Spell." both Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling said while laughing loudly.

His face quickly changed. He struggled to talk, "Mmph? Mmph mmph mmph!"

Lan WangJi closed his eyes and let out a faint breath of air. When he opened his eyes, the calm expression returned again. He picked up the brush again, as if nothing had happened. Wei WuXian had been aware of the hated silencing spell of the Lan Sect since long ago, and he refused to believe it. Yet, after making every effort, scratching the corners of his lips red, he still couldn't open his mouth no matter what. And so, he grabbed a piece of paper, wrote as if his brush was flying, and threw the paper over. Lan WangJi glanced at it. "Pathetic," he responded, crumpling it into a ball and tossing it away.

"My brother is restraining himself." said Lan Xichen in a low voice.

"Why?" asked Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen smiled at him.

"I'll tell you later." he said holding his hands.

Jiang Yanli is very happy for his younger brothers.

Wei WuXian was so angry that he rolled around on the mat, climbed up, and wrote another one, slamming it in front of Lan WangJi. Again, it was crumpled into a ball and tossed away.

The silencing spell was only removed after he finished copying. The second day, when he came to the Library Pavilion again, the balls of paper which landed everywhere were all taken out.

Wei WuXian had always forgot about the pain after the cut healed. Although, on the first day, he suffered greatly from the silencing spell, after a few moments, his mouth started to itch again. After recklessly speaking a few times, he was silenced once more. He couldn't open his mouth, so he scribbled on paper and pushed them to Lan WangJi, who crumpled it and threw it onto the ground. The same thing happened on the third day.

"You will never learn your lesson, do you?" asked Jiang Cheng in disbelief.

"You should've know that sooner, Jiang-xiong." said Nie Huaisang.

He was silenced time after time. However, on the last day of him having to "face the wall and reflect," Lan WangJi noticed that Wei WuXian seemed somewhat different.

"He is planning something." said Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang at the same time.

"Good luck, Second Young Master Lan." said Jiang Yanli.

The others are just watching them trying to understand what they are talking about.
