The Truth [MDZS reaction]

VII

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. 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.

Lan Qiren's face was pale and his eyebrow twitched. To say he was terrified was to say the least.

Lan Xichen kept glancing between the older man and the screen, he remembered what his brother did that day and what he did in response, Lan Qiren had left him in charge, and he blatantly broke rules - he was scared for the older's health.

Though, he couldn't be more happy that this wasn't focused on him.

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 waken 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!”

"Huaisang..." Nie Mingjue mumbled seeing how tpsy and dishevelled his brother looked, "this isn't how the young master of a sect should behave" he scolded but the boy felt wronged.

Nie Huaisang, "But Jiang xiong-"

Before he could finish his brother had already given him a look and he shut up roght away. The Jiang sect leader though, suddenly realised he had been drunk with them that day and he didn't recqll anything before Wuxian's punishment. Could I have done something embarrassing? He thought wearily while glaring at the screen pretending not to hear the people's whispers.

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!”

"I guess that's the kind of relationship they have.." a Jin cultivator commented in a confused tone, most people were surprised as well, his first instinct after waking up was fighting the Jiang sect leader?

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!”

The Jiang sect disciples looked petrified, while other cultivators tried their hardest not to laugh or look at sect leader Jiang.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanyin wanted to bury himself in a hole, even his sister was trying not to laugh!

The object landed on Wei WuXian’s chest, its pages flipping open. Nie HuaiSang eyed it, only to find that the item Jiang Cheng used to hit Wei WuXian was one of his treasured out-of-print illustrated pornography books. As he looked up and saw Lan WangJi’s frigid gaze, he almost died on the spot.

"I guess boys will be boys.." Lan Xichen mumbled and Nie Mingjue chuckled next to him, before giving the younger a questionable look.

After supressing a laugh, the Nie sect leader questioned, "thought you Lan sect wer-" before he cpuld even finish he recieved an elbow to the ribs before bursting put in laughter.

Huaisang and Guanyao shared a look with the leader suddenly laughing in between them, even Xichen giggled lightly, but no one understood why.

Many of the cultivators in the hall were also weirded out - first the slap and now they laughed for no reason? Were they in good terms or not..?
