Lan Xichen, Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi, Lan Zhuqing and Lan Yuchen were looking for Lan Wangji. They didn't alert any other disciples during the search and they searched for a whole day, none could find him. Lan Sizhui worriedly talked to Lan Jingyi:

"Jingyi, have you seen Hanguang-Jun today?"

Lan Jingyi shook his head:

"We looked everywhere, we know he didn't get out of the Cloud Recesses, maybe others found him?"

Lan Sizhui scratched his head and realized something:

"The bridge! Jingyi, let's go!"

Lan Sizhui was already pulling Lan Jingyi towards the bridge. Lan Jingyi:

"Sizhui, what are you doing?"

Lan Sizhui didn't respond, he instead kept pulling Lan Jingyi towards the bridge, they saw a white figure that was laying down. Lan Sizhui ran to the figure, he was still pulling Lan Jingyi, he turned the person over and shouted:

"HANGUANG-JUN!"

Lan Jingyi was shocked, Lan Sizhui sent a distress signal which indicated their location. Lan Xichen, Lan Zhuqing and Lan Yuchen all rushed to the scene. Lan Xichen knelt beside Lan Sizhui. Lan Sizhui was holding Lan Wangji on his lap, Lan Xichen asked:

"What happened?"

Lan Sizhui was crying, he said:

"I don't know, we found him like this."

Lan Xichen checked Lan Wangji, everything looked normal, Lan Xichen said:

"Let's go to Jingshi."

Lan Xichen picked up Lan Wangji and carried him to the Jingshi while the others followed him. Lan Xichen gently laid Lan Wangji on the bed and asked:

"Sizhui, did he tell where he went?"

Lan Sizhui shook his head:

"No, Zewu-Jun"

Lan Xichen nodded and said:

"You may go. Go and rest. Sizhui, tell two disciples to stay here with Wangji."

Lan Sizhui:

"Yes, Zewu-Jun."

The next day Lan Wangji woke up on his bed, he was still feeling exhausted, he washed his face and heard a knock on the door, he said:

"Come in."

Lan Xichen entered the room and said:

"Wangji."

Lan Wangji:

"Brother."

Lan Xichen:

"What happened last night?"

Lan Wangji:

"I don't remember."

Lan Xichen:

"When we found you, you were out of your spiritual power, what drained you?"

Lan Wangji sat on a mat, Lan Xichen also sat on a mat and Lan Wangji spoke:

"When I was outside, I heard a flute sound, I don't remember how I came here."

Lan Xichen:

"Flute, where?"

Lan Wangji:

"The town down the mountain."
