Although it sounded quite strong, it didn't actually do any damage. Wen Ning only staggered a few steps backward after the blow. He wobbled a bit and regained his balance, standing properly again with a blank face.

"You really did that, Lan Zhan?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"That's impossible. A-die never hit people like that." said Sizhui.

"I didn't expect that at all." said Nie Huaisang.

Wen Ning wasn't in a state as easily angered as when he flipped out in the past, but his temper wasn't too good either. During the night at Dafan Mountain, nobody could lay a sword on him before everyone was knocked down-he even held someone by his neck. If Wei WuXian didn't stop him, he would've strangled every single one of the people at the scene. Yet, although Lan WangJi smacked him once, his head was still lowered, appearing as if he didn't dare to resist. Wei WuXian thought that this was a bit strange, but he nevertheless felt relieved. If Wen Ning returned the strike and the two started fighting, it'd be even harder to intervene.

As if he didn't think one smack was enough to express his rage, Lan WangJi pushed Wen Ning to about thirty feet away.

"Wangji!" exclaimed Lan Xichen in disbelief while looking at his brother intently but after a moment he smiled.

Wen Qing was glaring at Lan Wangji for hitting his little brother.

Everyone was shocked especially the Lans.

The juniors are having a blank face.

He spoke to Wen Ning in an annoyed voice, "Go away."

Wei WuXian finally noticed that something was wrong.

Both the smack and the push, both his speech and actions were unusually... childish.

"Ahh." said Sizhui making his friends confused.

"What's wrong?" asked Jin Ling.

"A-die is jealous." he whispered making his friends snickers.

After he pushed Wen Ning so that he was far away enough, Lan WangJi seemed as if he was finally satisfied. He turned around walked over to Wei WuXian.

Wei WuXian looked at him scrutinizingly.

There wasn't anything wrong with Lan WangJi's face and expression.. He was even more serious, proper, flawless than usual. His face wasn't flushed, his breathing wasn't short. He walked around steadily with confidence. It looked like that he was still the calm, righteous cultivator, HanGuang-Jun.

But, as he looked down, he found that Lan WangJi's boots were put on the wrong feet.

"What?!" asked the cultivators.

"Is he drunk?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"If not then I'm sure that Wangji-xiong will never act like that." said Nie Huaisang.

"His drunken behaviour is really strange." said Jiang Cheng.

Before he left, he took Lan WangJi's boots off and tossed them beside the bed. And, now, Lan WangJi's left boot was on his right foot, while his right boot was on his left foot.

HanGuang-Jun, the prominent cultivator who valued manners greatly, would never have went outside with his clothes like this.

Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang laughed out loud.

"I wonder what will happen next." laughed Nie Huaisang.

"I'm going to enjoy this." said Wei Wuxian.

"Umm it's nor something you should enjoy." said Sizhui.
