In short: Wen Qing joins the Lans to help Wei Wuxian
"Jiang-Guniang, is there something wrong?" Wen Qing asks Jiang Yanli as she enters her room.
"Wen-Guniang, my little brother, A-Xian," Jiang Yanli's voice trembles, "he has not awakened ever since the incident with the waterborne abyss."
"Is that so?" Wen Qing brows twitch.
"Yes, even the Lan Sect's Leader is out of his seclusion to check on my A-Xian. Jiang Cheng told me that yesterday he helped the sect leader to find a cure for A-Xian in the library pavilion but to no avail. I heard that you are from the healer branch of Wen Sect, if, I mean, would you mind to check on my A-Xian?"
"Jiang-Guniang, I am sorry for what happened to Wei Gongzi. He saved my brother at that time. Instead, Wei Gongzi was drowned. I want to help if I could. However, I don't think they will allow me to come near the infirmary."
"I'll ask Jiang Cheng, then. It's not that I don't feel grateful for the Lan healers, I'm just hoping you could see what they couldn't in A-Xian's case."
"I hope so. I am in-debt to Wei Gongzi."
When Jiang Cheng visits Jiang Yanli that afternoon, she tells him about Wen Qing, he looks hopeful.
"A-Jie, I hope they could cure him. Wei Wuxian is such a trouble-maker, why did he have to help that bastard Su-She. He would be just fine if he let that Su-She drowned." Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes and scoffs
"A-Cheng, you know how A-Xian is. He just loves to help others, it's his nature to do so."
"Yeah, if the person worth saving, now what? He's been unconscious for more than a week. It's been two days we search in the library pavilion; nothing has any similar cases to Wei Wuxian. I'm going to break his leg once he's awake."
"Now, A-Cheng. Don't be like that. I need your help to ask Zewu Jun if he could allow Wen-Guniang to visit the infirmary."
"Alright, A-Jie. I'll ask him tonight."
Jiang Cheng eats his dinner with his sister, afterward he goes to Zewu Jun's room. He asks Zewu-Jun to give Wen-Guniang permission to check on Wei Wuxian's body. Zewu-Jun tells him that he will go to the female quarters tomorrow to pick up for Wen-Guniang and escort her to the infirmary after the lesson.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wen Qing comes to the infirmary with Zewu Jun. She sees Qingheng Jun inside the infirmary, and they both greet the Sect Leader. "Father/ Sect Leader Lan" They both bow in unison.
"Father, Wen Guniang express her interest to check on Wei Gongzi, she's from the healer branch of the Wen Sect." Zewu Jun explains to his father.
"Alright, you may check on Wei- Gongzi, Wen-Guniang."
Wen Qing examines Wei Wuxian, and she frowns, Wei Wuxian is feverish. His conditions, albeit not the same, are quite similar to Sect Leader Wen's. Sect Leader Wen has a compelling golden core, so the damage due to Yin iron is not as severe as Wei Wuxian's.
She talks to Sect Leader Lan and Lan Jun about Wei Wuxian's condition and his similarities with Sect Leader Wen. The difference is Sect Leader Wen's stronger golden core made it easier for her to dissipate the black veil surrounding the core. In the case of Wei Wuxian, his core is not as strong as Sect Leader Wen's. It is as if the black energy tries to eat his core if it continues. Wei Wuxian may not be survived.
She knew some herbs used to balance the Yin and Yang of the body as she used it for Sect Leader Wen. But she doesn't know how to help Wei Wuxian purify the veil of black energy surrounding his core.
She asks Lan Jun what kind of medications has been used for the past week. Lan Jun explains everything to her. Based on Lan Jun's explanation, she notices that the medicines used now are intended only to remove the excess of Yin energy in Wei Wuxian's body. Wen Qing pointed out to both Qingheng Jun and Lan Jun that Wei Wuxian's body not only excess in Yin but also deficient in Yang energy. Lan Jun admits that he was not fully noticed of the Yang deficiency due to the enormous amount of Yin surrounding Wei Wuxian's body. They only focus on depleting yin energy, believing that Yang will eventually balance once the excessive Yin is out of the body.
Wen Qing says that Yang energy also needs to be nourish. She explains that Yang deficiency may harm the Heart, Kidney, Lung, Spleen, and Stomach. Wei Wuxian could die if his body continuously lacks in Yang energy. Lan Jun listens attentively.
They talked about Wei Wuxian's condition for several hours until dinner time. Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, and Lan Wangji all feel a bit of relief as they see that there's hope to Wei Wuxian's recovery.
"Wen Guniang, you are indeed a very talented healer. Your knowledge about this matter truly opens up my eyes." Qingheng Jun praises Wen Qing
"You're praising me too much, Sect Leader Lan. I'm merely an ordinary healer." Wen Qing replies
"No, I also admit that I was overwhelmed with the dark energy surrounding Wei Wuxian's body and only thought about how to expel it. It did not occur in my mind to nourish Wei Wuxian's Yang energy with herbs and foods. I may need to write to your Sect Leader. After all, I heard that Waterborne abyss was initially from the Wen territory."
"Please, do not mention to my uncle, Sect Leader Wen, that I inform you about the Yin Iron." Wen QIng pleads
"You have my words."Qingheng Jun answers
The next day, Qingheng Jun writes a letter to Sect Leader Wen. The message is quite long in terms of pages, Qingheng Jun mentions about waterborne abyss which suddenly appears in the river of Caiyi Town. He also says that a guest disciple from Yunmeng Jiang Sect is currently suffered from the waterborne abyss. Qingheng Jun explains in his letter about Wei Wuxian's condition and his interaction with Wen Qing. He expresses his interest in learning more about resentful energies from the Wen Sect Leader. Qingheng Jun writes his letter as not to affront the Wen Sect Leader but made it clear that waterborne abyss is a problem that needs to be solved together. He is confident that Sect Leader Wen will not refuse his request.
Meanwhile, Wen Qing prepares the concoctions for Wei Wuxian. She gives the lists of herbs required for the medications to Lan Jun, asking whether all the herbs are available or not in the Lan Clan. The formula contains warm, pungent herbs like Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twigs) and Sheng Jiang (raw ginger slices) to expel Cold (a result of excessive Yin energy) and Sweet herbs like Suo Yang (Cynomorii herba) and Rou Cong-Rong (Cistanches herba) which known as Yang-invigorating herbs. Lan Jun and his assistant rush to the supplies checking on the herbs.
