Zewu Jun was passing through Yunmeng when he heard a cheerful voice call out for him...Wei Wuxian. Meeting him inside a tavern, the two sat down for a drink, but Zewu Jun soon gets Wei Wuxian to talk more open with him. Taking Zewu Jun to a more pri...
Wei Wuxian woke up in the middle of the night that night after the argument he and Wangji had. He felt slightly hurt by it still. He felt like Lan Wangji did not trust him enough to make decisions for himself. He felt slightly angered by it as well. Thoughts kept flying through his mind and so, he placed a block on his bond with Wangji to keep him from listening.
Wuxian carefully slid out of bed and went to the bathroom with fresh robes. He dressed in his own black robes that he used to wear before marrying Wangji. Once he was dressed, he grabbed Chenqing and Suibian from their stands and quietly snuck out of The Jingshi. He felt guilty about just walking out so he left a note saying he wanted some space to think.
As he was married into the sect, he had his personal Jade token. So he used it to get past the gate. He stopped walking and turned around to get one good look at the gate. He knew he was going to get an earful from Wangji if he ever found him but Wuxian needed to prove to Wangji that he would be fine. With that, he teleported out of Gusu and ended up at Baoshan's Mountain. The time difference at her mountain was slightly good, so he could go see her.
"A'Ying?" He heard Baoshan say.
Wuxian smiled when he saw her, "Hi Wai Po," he said.
"Not that I do not mind the visit, but why are you here? Especially without your soulmate?" She asked.
"We are having a bit of an indifference," Wuxian told her, "I needed some space."
"Come inside, and we can talk," she said.
Wuxian responded with a nod and followed her inside. She led him to a nice open room. A large book shelf spread across the back of the wall and large windows to the left side. There was a glowing blue tree I. The center of the room and flowers filled the floor.

"Is this your library?" Wuxian asked.
"It is," she answered, "there are millions of books here that I have collected over the years."
"You wouldn't happen to have a book to destroy an array that can open the portal to the netherworld, could you?" Wuxian asked.
"Why in the world would you want that kind of book?" Baoshan asked.
"Because a man by the name of Meng Yao set one up in Nightless City. He has been trying to get me to go to him for a long time now.My guess, is to help him open that portal," Wuxian explained.
"Do not let him open that portal," she demanded, "you may need my help with this issue. Is that why you came here?"
"Part of the reason," Wuxian answered.
Baoshan sighed and placed two fingers on Wuxian's temple. She looked through his memories from the time he left her last up until now.
"You know," Baoshan began after she removed her fingers from his temple, "it is part of Wangji's job as your husband to worry about you...but I can understand how you feel right now. Leaving in the middle of the night like that was not smart."
"I do not care right now," Wuxian told her and sat down, "I feel like no matter what I do now, people are going to second guess my decisions and make me feel guilty in anything I do. I tried to explain it to Lan Zhan and Xichen, but I do not think they understand what I am telling them."
"Then speak with them more. Tell them how you feel. You started to share that earlier so you could tell them more," Baoshan told him.
"I guarantee you, I will get yelled at when I return," Wuxian said.
"Talk to them," Baoshan demanded, "how can you prove a point by taking off like that?"
Wuxian sighed, "fine...but I will be back. This array is a problem."
"If you can, have Xichen bring those papers to me," Baoshan told him.
Wuxian nodded, "okay."
Wuxian then teleported back to Gusu. It was the middle of the afternoon by the time he arrived to the front gate. The two disciples on duty told Wuxian to head to Hanshi and speak with Zewu Jun. Wuxian nodded with a sigh and walked inside. He put his sword and flute in a Qiankun pouch that he had on him and put it in his robes for safe keeping. Once he arrived to The Hanshi, he sighed once more and knocked.
