Music As Weapons To The Ears

A disciple throws you your (I/N), and in an instant, you catch it. In your stance, up in the air, you strum the four strings with the small pick(idk what it's called help), before parting your right hand from it, throwing energy at the zombies, and easily defeating them

You can sense more danger in the forest around Cloud Recesses, and you are quick to action, monsters running and jumping towards you while babbling nonsense that you don't even understand, strumming the strings, placing your left hand on the upper part of the Chinese guitar and releasing your right hand out, the shockwave knocking the zombies out in one blow

You sigh, looking around your surroundings, and it seems like there's no other creature around here, good, good. But you hear more screaming, and rustling. And you take (I/N) again, instead, you play harsher and louder notes, reaching your hand out again, and it sends another shockwave. You can hear thuds, meaning that it has been done

Until you hear a tune out in the distance, and to your instincts, you know it's Lan Zhan. For a little.. fun or whatever, you strum the strings on your instrument back, in sync to Lan Zhan's guqin. Wrapping (I/N) up, you walk further into the forest, finding Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying, the male in red looks battered up and there's some scarring on his face, but nothing too serious

Lan Zhan appears too, and you walk closer up to him, "Are the disciples safe?" You ask, and you get a firm nod in return. Lan Zhan walks away. Until you hear a bang, and it looks like Jiang Cheng has pinned Wei Ying to a tree, by his collar, "Wei Wuxian, tell me, what the hell was that!" What?

Wei Ying blinks at the angry grape, unable to get his mind out of the gutter, "Are you really... You. Are you out of your mind?!" Jiang Cheng grips harder on his collar, "It's dark art! Once other people find out, you'll be expelled by all the clans!" Your eyes widen slightly, what? What does Jiang Cheng even mean by that? Dark arts.. The hell!?

"Wei Wuxian! Can you hear me?! Jiang Cheng slams Wei Ying back into the tree, finally getting his wrath out, but he was still angered, "I.. know..." The man in red mutters, clenching to Chengqing, "How could I dare to use such awful dark arts?" He tries to smile, "It.. won't happen again..." Something rustles in his robe, and it was.. a rabbit??

You've eavesdropped, before awkwardly walking away, keeping your footsteps silent. And unheard...

You grab Wei Ying by the shoulders, shaking him, "Ah! Y/N! Y/N! What are you doing? What is it!" Apparently, you've ran into his room, invited yourself in, and woken him up, "Wei Wuxian..." He never heard you call his courtesy name, not even once! "What did Jiang-Gongzi mean by "dark arts"?? Since when did you learn them???" Your voice sounded stern, but strained to not yell and cause a problem. He looks around, but he couldn't find any source of an excuse. "Hey, hey! It was unintentional- A-Y/N- wait, lemme explain!"

You finally let him explain the details, and... "So you obtained your golden core...!?" You ask, a little more louder, which makes him panic even more, "Hey, hey, calm down! I know dark arts are dangerous and prohibited here, but I'll never use them! I promise!!" You feel skeptical, but you let him go, walking towards the door, "It's kept between you and me, but don't make any trouble with these arts, if you do," You say, turning your head around when opening the door, your glare hardening, "You'll be expelled from all the great clans. Understood?"

You're on a walk with Lan Zhan, just ranting, until you find Wei Ying sitting at the Ancestral Shrine... Again and for some reason, "Hm?" Lan Zhan hums, while you deadpan, slapping your palm on your face, "A-Ying," You call out, and Wei Ying turns his head around, "Oh Y/N! And Wangji!" He grins widely, "It's been a while! I thought you were mad at me!"
