This meal was far from pleasant. After dinner, Wei Wuxian, who had originally planned to stay the night, announced his departure. This threw Jiang Cheng into a towering rage, yet he had no idea how to make him stay. After a long, awkward silence, he awkwardly blurted out, "Wei Wuxian, you haven't even spent much time in Lotus Pier today. I've kept your room just as it was, and I had it remodeled a while back, but you haven't seen it yet. Do you... want to go back and stay the night?"
For a fraction of a second, Wei Wuxian stiffened. Since his return, apart from the time he went to dig lotus roots, today was only his second visit to Lotus Pier. He looked at Lan Wangji, then at Jiang Cheng, and ultimately his heart softened. He agreed, "All right."
Jiang Cheng's face instantly broke into a wide smile, and Jin Ling also expressed a desire to stay at Lotus Pier for a couple of days—a request Jiang Cheng naturally granted without hesitation. Jin Ling gave a few instructions to the elders of the Jin Clan, then set off from Jinlin Tai with Jiang Cheng and the others. This time, instead of using a magical artifact, Wei Wuxian flew on his sword alongside them to return.
