Useless

Chapter 5

Early the next morning, Wei Wuxian made his way to where the guest quarters were with a yawn.

After last night, he forced himself to sleep outside the main entrance. There was no way in hell that he was climbing back over the wall. Climbing over a wall with one arm was hard.It wasn't all that bad though, it was definitely worth seeing the Lan disciples surprised faces when they found him sleeping on the ground. His back was a little sore though and it was all that fuddy buddy's fault. How could someone so pretty be such a cold person?

Wei Wuxian grumbled about stupid pretty boys and stupid rules as he found the guest quarters. Once he had found where the Jiang disciples were staying, his siblings and fellow disciples started piling out of their housing. When they caught sight of him, Jiang Cheng stormed over to his brother.

"Wei Wuxian! Where the hell were you last night?!" he asked angrily, punching his brother in his good arm. Wei Wuxian winced at the slight pain.

"Jiang Cheng, that hurt!" he whined.

"Good! Do you know how worried my sister was when you didn't come back?" Jiang Cheng asked. Jiang Yanli had also walked over to the two boys and was checking over Wei Wuxian to make sure he was alright.

"I'm fine shijie, I promise. And it wasn't even my fault I didn't come back, it was that fuddy buddy."

"Fuddy buddy?"

"Mhm, that Lan Wangji. I had gotten over the wall but then he stopped me. Then when he saw that I had Emperor's smile with me-"

"You had Emperor's smile with you?!"

"Yes! And then he chased me-"

"Lan Wangji chased you through the Cloud recesses?!"

Jiang Cheng groaned into his hands. How stupid was his brother? Already, Wei Wuxian was causing trouble. Well, he better not act up anymore or he'll break his legs. He sighed and grabbed his brother by the wrist.

"Whatever I don't care what you did, just make sure you don't make any trouble again. Come on, breakfast is early and then we need to haul ass to the Orchid room. Master Lan isn't going to be happy if we're late on the first day," he said, pulling his brother along.

When the disciples of Yunmeng arrived at the dining hall, Jiang Cheng was approached by a young man wearing the same white robes as theirs only that his bore the sigil of the Nie clan of Qinghe.

"Jiang-xiong!" He greeted happily. Jiang Cheng smiled at the other boy.

"Hey, Huaisang. How are things in The Unclean realm?" he asked curiously. Beside him, Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows. Since when was his brother so civil? But then his eyes widened in understanding. Ah, so this must be the Nie Huaisang that Jiang Cheng always goes on about. Nie Huaisang's face immediately fell.

"I would have been fine if only Da-ge didn't make me come back here again. I swear I won't survive another year here!" he complained.

"Why's that?" Wei Wuxian asked, finally speaking up. Nie Huaisang's pretty brown eyes widened when he looked over to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian looked away when he thought that the other boy was judging him but Huaisang only smiled at him.

"Oh my! You're Wei Wuxian aren't you? Jiang-xiong has told me so much about you!" he said excitedly. Wei Wuxian blinked at him. That was definitely not what he was expecting. He doesn't think anyone's ever been this excited to see him. He listened as Huaisang went on.

"It's really terrible what happened to you, but Jiang-xiong tells me that you're a great cultivator! Well anyone is a better cultivator than I am anyway. In all honesty, I think the whole fighting with one arm thing is cool and I think the scar on your face is pretty badass. Wait, is that offensive to say? Am I allowed to say that?" Huaisang asked with wide eyes. Wei Wuxian only let out a surprised laugh as they entered the dining hall.
