Lan Jingyi was running around, he was running towards the meeting spot, Lan Rin was also running after him:

"A-Yi, it is forbidden to run in Cloud Recessess, stop!"

Lan Jingyi stepped on the meeting spot, Lan Rin managed to catch him and stopped the bells:

"A-Yi, tell mommy, what is wrong?"

Lan Jingyi cried and said:

"I missed my friend!"

Lan Rin smiled:

"Mommy promised you to tell when your friend comes, you don't have to..."

Lan Rin then noticed Lan Xichen and asked:

"Zewu-Jun, what are you doing here, I stopped the bells, I... A-Yi ran to the spot."

Lan Xichen smiled:

"I know."

Lan Xichen knelt and held Lan Jingyi's hands then said:

"Jingyi, the headband represents self-restraint, you are a good kid, how about you trust your mom?"

Lan Jingyi:

"But I want my friend!"

Lan Xichen:

"I know, Jingyi, when your mom is free of her self-restraint, you can get more unrestrained."

Lan Jingyi:

"When will mom be free?"

Lan Xichen smiled and said:

"Soon."

Lan Jingyi smiled and climbed on Lan Rin's arms, Lan Rin said:

"Zewu-Jun, now that you are here, your uncle?"

Lan Xichen smiled and said:

"He knows what he did, he will bless the ceremony and I will exile him from Gusu."

Lan Rin nodded and said:

"I wonder if Laoling Qin Sect is doing fine, you know, their heir is Lady Qin."

Lan Xichen nodded:

"Every sect produces an odd-ball every now and then, we must be a lucky generation."

Lan Rin nodded and left with Lan Jingyi, lecturing him, yet being kind, she punished him by making him sit on a mat and look at a butterfly toy, talk to it and admit his mistakes.

Lan Xichen went in front of the house where his mom lived, and he said:

"Mom, does love protect us?"

A tear streamed down his face as he looked at Liebing and thought of his sworn brothers. He, Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao swore to be brothers, he hoped that this would give a chance to Jin Guangyao for fixing his relationship with Nie Mingjue, at the end, he got hurt by how far Jin Guangyao went and watch his da-ge kill him right in front of his eyes... His back started hurting as he was thinking of this, he laid on the porch, closing his eyes, his Liebing fell from his hand.

Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, Wen Ning and A-Yuan set foot in Gusu once more when they dealt with the matters of Yunmeng before things went out of hand. Wen Ning settled in a residence nearby and said:

"Thank you masters for allowing me to come with you."

Wei Wuxian:

"Wen Ning, don't be like this, we went through life and death."

Wen Ning nodded as they left. Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and A-Yuan passed through the barrier, made their way to Jingshi, they put their stuff away, Wei Wuxian said:
