Wei WuXian bought a bunch of quirky gadgets in Caiyi Town and took them back to the Cloud Recesses. After he arrived, everything was shared between the disciples from other sects. Because Lan QiRen went to Qinghe and there were no classes for a few days, all of the boys played around in complete chaos, rushing into Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng's room to sleep there. All through the nights, they ate, drank, wrestled, gambled, and viewed picture books. During one of the nights, Wei WuXian lost in a game of dice, and was sent to sneak down the mountain and buy jars of Emperor's Smile. This time, everyone finally had the chance to satisfy their taste buds.

"Is this how the Cloud Recess is when I'm not around ? ", Lan Qiren had sweat beads on his forehead watching the rules getting broken altogether, right inside the Cloud Recess. Question was directed to both of his nephews. But his attention was on Lan Xichen. At this point expecting an explanation from WangJi for anything related to Wei WuXian was a lost cause.

"No uncle, it was just one time", XiChen assured his uncle with a confident smile, "i hope", he whispered in his mind. He might be friendly and calm, but still Lan Xichen was the sect heir that time. There will be no excuse to make, if he lets them do anything they want inside his sect.

"Did they get punished? ", Lan QiRen asked again just to assure himself. Happened years ago, and the old man couldn't remember well.

"Yes, they should be ", XiChen stuttered. With all his might he hoped they got punished for this.

However, on the second day, before daylight even appeared, someone opened the door of the room, revealing the disciples who spread out on the floor in a tangle, sleeping as if they were a group of corpses.

"Han Guang-Jun", Lan JingYi whispered under his breath.

"Is he going to punish them?", Jin RuLan wondered

"Hopefully", SiZhui inhaled deeply. "I don't think his love interest could mitigate this indecency"

The noise from opening the door startled a few people. As they saw the stone-faced Lan WangJi at the door through their sleepy eyes, they were instantly woken up. Nie HuaiSang furiously pushed Wei WuXian, who ended up in a position with his legs at the top and head at the bottom, "Wei-xiong! Wei-xiong!"

Having been shoved for a few times, Wei WuXian spoke drowsily, "Who? Is anyone else up for it?! Jiang Cheng? The fight is on—like I'm scared of you!"

Jiang Cheng drank too much last night, and his head still ached as he lay on the ground with his eyes closed. He randomly grabbed something and hurled it at where Wei WuXian's voice came from, "Shut up!"

Whereas Lan SiZhui and Lan JingYi looked at each other without blinking their eyes. "Is this really their home? ", they asked . Whenever a disciple irrespective of their status in the sect, commits a mistake or breaks a rule, they are immediately punished. In their memory, not even a simple incident could be recalled otherwise. But looking at them, now 2 sect leaders and the other one is infamous YiLing patriarch, they are not sure the punishment had served its purpose. Because those three were grinning watching how shamelessly wasted they were.

"Is that really my uncle ", Jin Ling thought. He didn't dare to call his uncle out. "They were so wild and expected me to be a scaredy cat. Uncle your blood is running through my body", he smirked, already making plans for new adventures. This time there is no need to think of excuses, all he has to do is remind them of these scenes, just like, ' I didn't got sneaked alcohol in Cloud Recess', or 'I never read porn books', or 'I don't flirt with young maidens'
