Wangxian Prompt/Self-fill Dump

I will Protect you... Pt 3

Wei Ying was a care-free and often mischievous young man and he knew it. He was in the top ten of most handsome and eligible young masters because of gis skills and merits alone. He did not lile rules or to be told he cannot do something. However after running into the Second Jade and getring his help to find their missing supplies and invite. He had been so certain the cold beauty would refuse to help them or turn them away, but he had surprisingly helped out. And the First Jade was as handsome as they said he was and so charming and he had the cutest smile.

Since their arrival, the two Jades were seen around fairly frequently. Wei Ying sat across from Lan Wangji and sometimes when he dared to look in his direction Wei Ying would smile and give a tiny wave. He made a bit of waves when Grandmaster Lan had asked a seemingly impossible question and Wei Ying had stated a very unorthodox method. The man had gotten angry and three a scroll case at him, which he dodged easily but cut the man off mid-rant.

"Grandmaster, please. If normal methods even the most powerful of our skills and techniques cannot subdue the demon then would it not make sense to use the very resentment it feeds from against it? Like the supression cuffs use our own Qi against us?" Wei Ying challenges and the Grandmaster opens his mouth but falls silent.

"Uncle I beleive Wei-Gongzi has made a valid point... Please explain if you can?" Lan Xichen speaks up from where he was sitting in a small alcove supervising the lesson.

"If I were facing this demon and it is as powerful as you say. Then using arrays and talismans crafted to use Resentful energy or even neutral energy can be used. Take the purification circle. If it is not working, perhaps change a few characters or symbols, perhaps both if needs be, and it should instead use the Resentful entery to 'purify" the denon and weaken it to allow a more standard methid to kill itbor suppress it. And Firce Corpses are nit always aggressive. Perhaps if we found away to control them or at lease bring back the conscious of the person and learn of how they died we can aid then no to find rest or have a group to scout a dangerous situation that is already dead and thus cannot be killed again or detected..."

"Interesting..." Lan Xichen hums, hiding his pleased smile behind his fist as he pretends to 'think over' the suggestions.

"... I will admit that there is a smidgen of merit. But to go down shuch a dark path--"

"But Uncle, you have always told us balance is key... If the path of Light is not working wouldn't the Dark path work instead?" Lan Wangji asks, after thinking over what Wei Wucian had said and finding... The idea was not repulsive. "Certainly going down the Dark path is dangerous but what if the one so learn the dark methids had someone on the light path of equal or perhaps greater power to balance them and pull them back?"

"That is a good idea, Wangji. And it does actually follow our belief in balance. It deals with the threat, allows for all methids to be used to subdue or terminate the threat and keeps the one who has to dip into the Demonic arts from losing themselves to the madness..." Lan Xichen adds in and Wei Ying is floored by the Twin Jades sticking up for him.

"... Perhaps this requires further research and discussion. Wei Wuxian, you will attend Wangji in the Libaray pavilion to research, draft and compose a valid use for Resentment. Wangji is powerful and should be more than enough to pull you back if, and this is a very big IF, you can prove your theory correct with evidence." Lan Qiren houses as the young man gives him a bright smile so loke his mother's and he bows respectfully.

"This one will do his best to convince Laoshi!" He says and gracrfully drops back to his knees already drafting something on a bit of spare parchment. As he is busy, Lan Qiren continues his lesson if a bit off kilter now...

Lan Huan is all too pleased with the outcome. Instead of Wei Ying being chased out of the class, he managed to start sewing seeds of open mindedness so his Xiao Ying was not demonized once more. It was funny how the first time everyone had been relying on him as a whole to win the war for them but when it was over and they could not collar and chain him to them, he needed to be destroyed. Flashes of the Seige on the Burial Mounds flashes in his mind, the screams, the blood and death little a'Yuan's tiny body too cold and still in his arms...
