Wei Wuxian was comparing the talisman that Jin Guangyao used on Wen Ning and Wen Qing and the book he had on portal talismans. He figured he could try to reverse the talisman since the page to go back to current their current timeline was missing. The problem, however, was testing them. He made sure he was outside as he didn't want to make any damages to Yibo and Zhan's house. Luckily the house was more secluded so it wouldn't have neighbors asking questions.

As Wuxian was doing some tests on some talismans he tried to make one of them backfired a bit too much. Instead of making it a reverse portal to go home, it was just an explosion itself. It caused Wuxian to use a lot of his spiritual energy and he didn't even expect for that to happen. Also, the talisman had a backfire and caused Wuxian's right hand to get cut. He didn't even know how it happened, he just suddenly had a deep cut on the palm of his hand that ran down to the center of his forearm, just after the wrist.

Wuxian ended up hurting himself badly this time. His core was already slightly fragile as it was still developing, so he now had to have Wen Qing check on him. He needed Wangji at the moment though as he was currently bleeding out. He actually took his shirt off and wrapped his hand and arm with it to help. He then ran inside and saw Wangji talking to Yibo and Zhan.

"Lan Zhan!" Wuxian said.

"Wei Ying, why do you have blood on your mouth, and why is your shirt off?" Wangji asked.

"My talisman backfired pretty badly this time," Wuxian said and held out his arm that was wrapped. Wuxian's shirt was actually a light gray shirt so blood was already seeping through it, "it's a pretty bad cut...and I need Wen Qing to check of my core is okay. I might have been internally injured...I didn't expect for this to happen."

"It's alright, let Yibo tend your arm and I can work on getting Wen Qing here," Xiao Zhan said.

Wuxian nodded. Wangji held Wuxian close as he helped him to Yibo's medical room within the house. After removing the shirt, Yibo gasped, "You need this stitched up...unless if you know if Wen Qing has a different healing method for cultivators," Yibo said.

"If you can do anything about it, then I will just let you," Wuxian said.

Wuxian glanced at Wangji. Wuxian could tell that Wangji was a bit upset with him. Yibo started to add a local anesthetic to Wuxian's arm so he could stitch him up. Has Yibo was tending to Wuxian, Yibo glanced up to look at Wuxian's face from time to time. He suddenly saw the man crying.

"Are you in any pain?" Yibo asked.

"My arm doesn't hurt," Wuxian replied.

"Are you in pain anywhere other than your arm?" Yibo asked.

Wuxian just shook his head. He felt bad as he knew that he was getting the silent treatment from Wangji. After Yibo stitched Wuxian's arm up, Wen Qing arrived not long after. She noticed Wuxian was actually pretty withdrawn suddenly. Xichen was with Wen Qing and noticed that his brother was agitated.

"Zewu Jun, can you please take Lan Zhan out of the room?" Wuxian asked him.

Wangji looked at Wuxian. Wangji was surprised that Wuxian was basically asking him to leave, "you want me to leave the room?" Wangji asked.

"If you are pissed off at me over an accident that happened and I didn't know it would happen, then get out. I am already feeling guilty about it. Your silence is enough for me to understand that you are upset with me. So if you are upset, please leave, because I do not want to hear it as I already fucking know!" Wuxian said angrily, "you all want to go home so fucking badly, well this is the price that comes with it. I do not see any of you making the effort of doing this. Be thankful it didn't kill me, but then again, it will probably solve a lot of problems."
