Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, A-Yuan and Wen Ning had been travelling around. They all appeared wherever the chaos was. Wen Ning was responsible for protecting A-Yuan and their camping grounds while Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were eliminating the evil. Lan Wangji's cultivation was improving so fast that he almost forgot that he gave half of his golden core to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian on the other hand was already good at swordsmanship, yet sometimes swords weren't enough to defeat the enemies, so Lan Wangji wasn't saying a thing if Wei Wuxian used Chenqing instead of Suibian. In fact, using Chenqing had a lot of benefits in many situations that they encountered. It was easy to manipulate the enemy, lure it into a trap and then fight with it by the sword. They wandered from town to town, village to village. People were looking at them with admiration, and getting surprised whenever they saw Wen Ning and A-Yuan. A-Yuan was such a smart child. One day, he wondered about Lan Wangji's Zither, as they were staying in an inn, he asked:
"Ji ge-ge, what is this?"
Lan Wangji:
"This is my zither, its name is Wangji."
A-Yuan:
"Isn't your name Wangji too?"
Lan Wangji smiled a bit:
"We have the same name, do you want to listen to the zither?"
A-Yuan excitedly said:
"Teach me, teach me."
Lan Wangji nodded:
"Mn."
Lan Wangji started playing a calm yet easy melody. A-Yuan listened to it and watched how Lan Wangji's fingers roamed on the strings, then he said:
"I want to play too."
Lan Wangji looked at him, he stopped touching the Zither. A-Yuan started strumming the strings, but his melody wasn't loud enough, Lan Wangji was impressed that he repeated all the notes correctly, he said:
"You are good."
A-Yuan:
"It wasn't like yours."
Lan Wangji smiled:
"You made no mistakes."
A-Yuan smiled, he put his head on Lan Wangji's lap and fell asleep. Wei Wuxian entered the room and saw them, Lan Wangji was reading a book, he talked with a low voice:
"You are here."
Wei Wuxian:
"The townspeople say that a big snake ate some people, they said they were normally used to giant snakes, but this one seemed different to them for some reason, I walked around the town a bit, found some scales."
Wei Wuxian showed the scales to Lan Wangji:
"It looks like the Measuring Snake, but look at the colour, it is wrong."
Lan Wangji carefully looked at the scale and said:
"Mn."
Wei Wuxian:
"It looks like a variant, but Lan Zhan, how did it mutate?"
Lan Wangji:
"We must find it to see, normally a measuring snake can grow up to two meters, this one looks like it came from a snake that is at least four meters, look at the scale."
Wei Wuxian took the scale back and looked at it, Lan Wangji's assumption had a point, he said:
"Tomorrow, let's climb on that mountain where most of the attacks happened, maybe there will be more clues."
