I don't own The Untamed
Nie Huaisang knock on a door.
What took you so long? Asks Wei Wuxian.
I grabbed some peanuts said Nie Huaisang.
She looks around, grabs Nie Huaisang, drags him in, and shuts the door.
Scene change
Sis Wei, the liquor is really good said Nie Huaisang.
Of course, said Wei Wuxian.
Here in Gusu, we shall drink the Emperor's smile said Wei Wuxian.
Fragrant and mellow, refreshing not aggressive, smooth and powerful said Wei Wuxian.
Just drink the liquor said, Jiang Cheng.
You make it sound like you're describing a person said, Jiang Cheng.
Bro Jiang, I disagree said Nie Huaisang.
I think Sis Wei is making an excellent point said Nie Huaisang.
As a wise man said, fine beauty is like great wine said Nie Huaisang.
If that is true, you shall find your partners by following the fragrance of liquor said, Jiang Cheng.
I will be fine, as long as I have wine said Wei Wuxian.
I don't know how the Lans of Gusu can put up with you said Jiang Cheng.
Hey, I am adorable said Wei Wuxian.
It is you said Wei Wuxian.
No one can match your standards said Wei Wuxian.
Sis Wei, what standards? Asks Nie Huaisang.
Wei Wuxian, I dare you said, Jiang Cheng.
Beauty. Natural beauty said Wei Wuxian.
Hey said, Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian said, Jiang Cheng.
Virtuous and caring said Wei Wuxian.
And comes from a good family said Wei Wuxian.
Stop it said, Jiang Cheng.
She should not be too chatty and should have a gentle voice said Wei Wuxian.
Stop running, Wei Wuxian said Jiang Cheng.
But not too capable said Wei Wuxian.
Should not burn through money said Wei Wuxian.
You talk too much said, Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian said, Jiang Cheng.
Lan Zhan walks in.
They see him and stop roughhousing.
What are you guys doing? Asks Lan Zhan.
What a happy conscience said Wei Wuxian.
Since you are here, why not join us for a drink said Wei Wuxian.
Let's have a chat said Wei Wuxian.
Here at the Cloud Recessed, alcohol is forbidden and so is a woman being in the men's dorms said, Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, don't be so rigid said Wei Wuxian.
We successfully expelled the Aqua Demon today said Wei Wuxian.
It is an accomplishment said Wei Wuxian.
Let's celebrate said Wei Wuxian.
You three, go to the punishment chamber to be disciplined said, Lan Zhan.
Where? Asks Wei Wuxian.
What chamber? What? Said Nie Huaisang.
Lan Zhan, you see… they are too drunk to walk said Wei Wuxian.
What if, you sit down with me said Wei Wuxian.
Let's have a drink and talk said Wei Wuxian.
He turns and starts to leave.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
If you refuse to come with me, I will ask for help and force it said, Lan Zhan.
Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang leave and Wei Wuxian takes this chance to put a talisman on Lan Zhan that makes him follow her every command.
Lan Zhan? Said Wei Wuxian.
Pleased with the results Wei Wuxian then looks around outside, closes the doors, and goes and sits down at the table.
Lan Zhan, come here orders Wei Wuxian.
Sit, and drink the wine orders Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan does as he is told.
See, I am not fooling you said Wei Wuxian.
Doesn't it taste great? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan says nothing.
Lan Zhan? Said Wei Wuxian.
Wow, Lan Zhan, you have thick skin said Wei Wuxian.
You won't even blush said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan falls forward onto the table.
Lan Zhan? Said Wei Wuxian.
Can you please go back to your room? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Please do not sleep here said Wei Wuxian.
Bet no one could imagine, that someone high and fine like you would one day follow my leads said Wei Wuxian.
Second Childe Lan, call me Sister Wei orders Wei Wuxian.
Sister Wei said, Lan Zhan.
Finally, some reactions said Wei Wuxian.
Your headband is tilted said Wei Wuxian.
Tilted? Said Lan Zhan.
Let me help said Wei Wuxian.
Go away said, Lan Zhan.
It is still not right said Wei Wuxian.
I am just trying to help you adjust it said Wei Wuxian.
Why are you so nervous? Asks Wei Wuxian.
The headband is sacred said, Lan Zhan.
No one can touch it except for parents and significant others said, Lan Zhan.
Wei Wuxian laughs.
Significant others? Said Wei Wuxian.
What are you laughing at? Asks Lan Zhan.
I am laughing at you Gusu Lan's said Wei Wuxian.
So many rules, so rigid and pretentious said Wei Wuxian.
No woman would marry you said Wei Wuxian.
You are going to be alone by yourself forever said Wei Wuxian.
That's fine said, Lan Zhan.
Hey, is every member of your clan that vapid? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Your father is as vapid as you said Wei Wuxian.
Your mother must be so bored said Wei Wuxian.
I don't have a mother said, Lan Zhan.
That's impossible said Wei Wuxian.
You can't be born out of thin air said Wei Wuxian.
Then she realizes something.
My parents died when I was four said Wei Wuxian.
You may think I should remember things then, but I don't said Wei Wuxian.
The only thing I remember is being chased by wild dogs said Wei Wuxian.
I don't remember the look of my parents said Wei Wuxian.
But I recall a scene, I was riding on a donkey with my mom aside and my father was right in from of us said Wei Wuxian.
It might be that my mother cracked a joke and my father laughed said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan, here is to you said Wei Wuxian.
No. Here is to us, may we never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten said Wei Wuxian.
Bottoms up said Wie Wuxian.
The next morning.
Uncle, with all the traveling, you must be exhausted said Lan Xichen.
How did the cultivation conference go? Asks Lan Xichen.
We met with Clan Leader Nie said Lan Qiren.
As expected, the same demonic event has been happening in Qinghe said Lan Qiren.
The same red crackings showed on those people's necks said Lan Qiren.
Do they have any clues? Asks Lan Xichen.
Clan Leader Nie is looking into it said Lan Qiren.
Is everything okay in the Cloud Recesses? Asks Lan Qiren.
Lately, the Wen's have been quiet said Lan Xichen.
.However, a demonic event was witnessed in Biling Lake said Lan Xichen.
Tell me more about it said Lan Qiren.
I was just about to tell you that said Lan Xichen.
A couple of days ago, a few students and I went to perform an exorcism on Biling Lake for Water Ghosts said Lan Xichen.
Yet wr found that the spirits in the lake have been demonized and become the Aqua Demon said Lan Xichen.
It has never happened before said Lan Xichen.
Lady Wei suspected that it might have something to do with the snatched spirits said Lan Xichen.
Lady Wei? said Lan Qiren.
Wei Wuxian said Lan Qiren.
She is the elder disciple of Clan Leader Jiang said Lan Xichen.
Is she the daughter of? Asks Lan Qiren.
Right. She is the daughter of Wei Changze and Zangse the wanderer said Lan Xichen.
No wonder she is such a genius said Lan Qiren.
Just like her mother said Lan Qiren.
Male voice: Excuse me.
Disciple: Master Lan, Zewa Jun.
What is the problem? Asks Lan Xichen.
Disciple: Wei Wuxian sneaked in some liquors got drunk with a couple of students and got caught.
Disciple: And second childe Lan was with them.
Wangji was with her? Said Lan Xichen.
How dare they said Lan Qiren.
Scene change
Wangji is at fault said, Lan Zhan.
Uncle and brother, I shall be punished said, Lan Zhan.
Grandmaster and Zewu Jun, it is true that we disobeyed the rules and got drunk but Lan Zhan he's not… Wei Wuxian.
Nonsense said Lan Qiren.
Wei Wuxan your confinement as punishment was not even over yet here you are causing trouble and disturbance again said Lan Qiren.
How far do you wanna take this? Asks Lan Qiren.
Are you trying to ruin the Cloud Recesses? Asks Lan Qiren.
Do not think that just because your mother is Zangse… said Lan Qiren.
This catches Wei Wuxian's attention.
Grandmaster, do you know my mother? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Grandmaster said Wei Wuxian.
Shut up said Lan Qiren.
Wangji, Lady Wei is not a member of the Lan Clan but you are said Lan Xichen.
And you are fully aware of the rules said Lan Xichen.
Wangji recognizes the mistake that has been made said, Lan Zhan.
Zewu Jun, it was all on me, I made him drink the liquor said Wei Wuxian.
It was against his will said Wei Wuxian.
Wangji recognizes the mistake and shall be punished said, Lan Zhan.
What is wrong with you? Why are you asking for punishment? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Wei Ying, as the head of the group you shall be hit by bastinado 300 times. Same punishment to Lan Zhan. The rest shall be hit 50 times said Lan Qiren.
Let that be a warning said Lan Qiren.
300 times? Said Wei Wuxian.
Am I gonna survive this? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Do it said Lan Qiren.
Scene change
Cheng, you are close to Xian and have always discipline her said Yanli.
Why did you fool around with her last night? Asks Yanli.
Sis, can you not talk about it anymore? Asks Jiang Cheng.
The fact that I got 50 hits please keep it a secret from our parents said, Jiang Cheng.
300 hits for me you should also be kept as a secret said Wei Wuxian.
You caused everything said, Jiang Cheng.
But no one forced you to drink the Emperor's Smile said Wei Wuxian.
That's enough said Yanli.
Do you two wanna continue to fight? Asks Yamli.
Senior sister, it hurts everywhere said Wei Wuxian.
Let it be a lesson to you said Yanli.
Just endure it said Yanli.
Wait till the class ends, I will make you Danggui soup said Yanli.
Senior sister, I should have more proteins to promote rapid healing said Wei Wuxian.
Danggui soup with lamb should do the trick said, Jiang Cheng.
You two said Yanli.
Lan Xichen appraiches them.
Zewu Jun said Yanli.
Zewu Jun did I break the rules again? Asks Wei Wuxian.
You guys indeed went overboard last night but Uncle is a bit harsh said Lan Xichen.
And so is the punishment said Lan Xichen.
The Bastinado is quite heavy it will probably take weeks for the wounds on your back to heal said Lan Xichen.
Weeks? That's a long time… said Wei Wuxian.
Let me point you to a place to go to heal a bit faster so you do not fall behind in your studies said Lan Xichen.
Thank you for the support, Zewu Jun said Wei Wuxian.
Zewu Jun, my mother… said Wei Wuxian.
Lady Wei back in the day Zangese Wanderer was a classmate of my Uncle said Lan Xichen.
My Uncle's behavior was strictly mannered and your mother… said Lan Xichen.
How should I say this… she was just like you said Lan Xichen.
I hope you do not hold a grudge against my Uncle said Lan Xichen.
It is true he is being extra harsh on you said Lan Xichen.
It was just that… said Lan Xichen.
Well, let's just say it was difficult for him to keep his beard good-looking back then said Lan Xichen.
Scene change
Wei Wuxian heads to the place Lan Xichen told her about and finds Lan Zhan there.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan saud Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
How come you never told me about a place like this? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Why didn't you share it with me? Asks Wei Wuxian.
This is not the act of a good friend said Wei Wuxian.
How did you get in? Asks Lan Zhan.
Zewu Jun let me in said Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian takes off her boots and socks.
This is cold said Wei Wuxian.
Really cold said Wei Wuxian.
Bone-chilling said Wei Wuxian.
Freezing said Wei Wuxian.
Stop fumbling said, Lan Zhan.
I know said Wei Wuxian.
But this spring is freezing cold, if I do not move around, my blood will freeze, so the extremities said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan hey you… alright alright said Wei Wuxian.
Though you are somewhat rigid, pedantic, depressing, and a little boring and I did not think highly of you, in the beginning, said Wei Wuxian.
But I changed my mind after our fights ended in a draw said Wei Wuxian.
You are one of the people I approve of said Wwi Wuxian.
And I wanna be friends with you said Wei Wuxian.
That won't be necessary said, Lan Zhan.
You are no fun said Wei Wuxian.
Let me share something with you said Wei Wuxian.
A lot of benefits come from being my friend said Wei Wuxian.
What are you doing? Asks Lan Zhan.
Getting undressed and start properly healing said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan starts to leave.
Please do not leave me here said Wei Wuxian.
I will stop undressing said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan, have you ever been to Yunmeng? Asks Wei Wuxian.
There are a lot of fun things to do there said Wei Wuxian.
Great food said Wei Wuxian.
How about this if you ever visit the Lotus Cove I will pick a lotus for you, the seedpod. Along with water chestnut said Wei Wuxian.
Never said, Lan Zhan.
All right let me tell you a big secret said Wei Wuxian.
There are a lot of cute girls in Yunmeng said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan, do you feel something strange happening? Asks Wei Wuxian.
She turns around.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
She is dragged under the water.
Lan Zhan turns to see Wei Wuxian is gone.
He grabs his sword but is then dragged under the water as well.
Scene change
Lan Zhan, what is this place? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Why is there a swirling tunnel beneath the Cold Spring? Asks Wei Wuxian.
What is this place? So weird said Wei Wuxian.
The water is extremely cold but won't freeze said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan notices something in a cave and walks toward it.
Lan Zhan wait up said Wei Wuxian.
On an alter is a Gupin
The instrument sends out a blast that goes through Lan Zhan but hits Wei Wuxian knocking her back into the frigid water.
What is that thing? Asks Wei Wuxian as she gets up.
Killer-string said, Lan Zhan.
Killer-string? Said Wei Wuxian.
Isn't that a particular trick of your clan? Asks Wei Wuxian.
The instrument sends out another wave but Wei Wuxian ducks this time.
What's happening? Why are they all coming for me? Asks Wei Wuxian.
This engraving on the Gupin is Lan's seal thought Lan Zhan.
It will not attack me, probably because it senses as a member of the Lan Clan thought Lan Zhan.
The Gupin sends another blast toward Wei Wuxian but Lan Zhan blocks the blast with his sword and destroys it.
How come these rabbits are wearing the Lan headband? Asks Lan Zhan.
I heard every member of Lan wears a headband ever since they are a child thought Wei Wuxian.
The headband recognizes the owner and has special power thought Wei Wuxian.
How come the rabbits wear a headband as well? Thought Wei Wuxian.
Power… headband thought Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan the headband, hand over your headband said Wei Wuxian.
Hurry said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan wraps his headband around both their wrists.
The Gupin ceases attacking.
I wanna take a closer look and see what it is said Wei Wuxian.
Do not touch it said, Lan Zhan.
This Gupin is a rare masterpiece and it is enhanced by power said, Lan Zhan.
It shall attack anyone who is not a member of the Lans said, Lan Zhan.
It must belong to a member of the Lan clan, an ancestor said Lan Zhan.
I just want to take a look, I swear I won't touch it said Wei Wuxian.
Drop it said, Lan Zhan.
Be respectful to the heirloom said, Lan Zhan.
How can I get a good look without picking it up? Asks Wei Wuxian.
I have my way said, Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan walks over and sits down.
He plays the Gupin.
Ask the spirit said Wei Wuxian.
I have heard of the sorcerous act said Wei Wuxian.
A unique skill only the Lan can execute said Wei Wuxian.
Talking with the deceased through string art said Wei Wuxian.
It is her said, Lan Zhan.
Who is it? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Voice: Wen Clan of Qishan, Lan Clan of Gusu, Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, Jin Clan of Lanling, Nie Clan of Qinghe. Kill the gentry and destroy the Yin Iron.
Lan Zhan, what is that voice? Asks Wei Wuxian.
I do not know, be careful said, Lan Zhan.
The voice continues.
Sounds like the five families were trying to decimate a certain school said Wei Wuxian.
The Yin Iron? What is it? Asks Lan Zhan.
I have never heard of it said, Lan Zhan.
They sheath their swords as the voices fade.
The Yin Iron is cursed, not worth mentioning said a female voice.
They turn around.
A woman appears and sits down at the Gupin.
Scene change
Uncle said Lan Xichen.
It is possible that Wangji and Lady Wei are just fine I have sent people to look for them said Lan Xichen.
Wangji has always been diligent, ever since he was a boy said Lan Qiren.
He would never fool around like Wei Ying said Lan Qiren.
Yet now, both of them disappeared in the Cold Spring, I am worried that said Lan Qiren.
Uncle, you are worried that? Said Lan Qiren.
A storm is coming said Lan Qiren.
Scene change
Your highness said, Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, a descendant of the Lan Clan said, Lan Zhan.
So she is the one? The only female clan leader of Gusu lan, who created the Killer-String sorcerous act. Lan Yi said Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wing, a disciple from the Jiang clan. Your highness said Wei Wuxian.
Predecessor so these rabbits with headbands are raised by you? Said Wei Wuxian.
They were here to keep me company said, Lan Yi.
But my energy is fading away throughout the years said, Lan Yi.
They are too fond of play and thus often come out said, Lan Yi.
Ma'am the rumor was that you had passed away years ago said, Lan Zhan.
How come? Ask Lan Zhan.
It must have something to do with the Yin Iron said Wei Wuxian.
It was my biggest mistake, in my lifetime said, Lan Yi.
And I paid the price said, Lan Yi.
With all my power, I kept the Yin Iron in containment said, Lan Yi.
Predecessor, what's the Yin Iron, and where are the shouting and pounding noises coming from? Asks Wei Wuxian.
The seal is cracking as the power gets weaker said, Lan Yi.
My energy is dying said, Lan Yi.
And here you are said, Lan Yi.
It may be destined said, Lan Yi.
Preddescor? Said Wei Wuxian.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Yin Iron was not in fragments but as a whole said, Lan Yi.
Yiling burial grounds back then was a celestial land said, Lan Yi.
And Xue Chonghai was the most powerful Grandmaster back then said, Lan Yi.
A hundred years had passed, and nobody knows, why someone like Xu Chonghai, who had everything would use the Iron to absorb grievance and resentment and use living people as a sacrifice said, Lan Yi.
He controlled an ancient monster, Xuanwu, the slaughter, blood was shed said, Lan Yi.
Lives were taken said, Lan Yi.
It was a great tragedy said, Lan Yi.
So the five families united said Wei Wuxian.
They killed Xue Chonghai said Wei Wuxian.
You are smart as I have expected Childe Wei said to Lan Yi.
Xue Chinghai was executed, and Xuanwu was put down said Lan Yi.
Dead bodies were everywhere said, Lan Yi.
And Yiling, this once celestial land became a massive burial ground said, Lan Yi.
Preddecosr what happened to the Yin Iron after that? Asks Lan Zhan.
Yin Iron has snatched and absorbed too many living spirits, the grievances were too heavy to be dissipated said Yan Li.
Snatching spirits? Said Wei Wuxian.
That is right said, Lan Yi.
Yin Iron is a rare treasure naturally grown said, Lan Yi.
It was able to absorb energy from the universe said, Lan Yi.
Yet Xue Chonhai fed it with living spirits, even gentries with power said, Lan Yi.
The Yin Iron was filled with grievance and rencor said, Lan Yi
The change was irreversible said, Lan Yi.
Later on, the Five families decided to suppress it said, Lan Yi.
And thust broke the Yin Iron into pieces and place them into different locations that are full of good energy said, Lan Yi.
To avoid anyone following the same rut the five clans made an agreement and never spoke of the Yin Iron again said, Lan Yi.
With all due respect, if the Yin Iron can truly absorb natural energy we may be able to turn it into a good use said Wei Wuxian.
Wei Ying said, Lan Zhan.
I am surprised said, Lan Yi.
What you just said is the same as what I had thought said, Lan Yi.
Being a woman ever since I succeeded to be the leader of Lans, people never stopped criticizing said, Lan Yi.
We were experiencing reconstruction of the clan said, Lan Yi.
For years I tried to break the old rule, and find ways to innovate said, Lan Yi.
All my life I was fighting to revitalize the Lan clan said, Lan Yi.
Yet I faced so many impediments and obstacles said, Lan Yi.
And one day, when I was having a chat with my friend, Bao Shan, she mentioned the Yin Iron by accident said Lan Yi.
Bao… Bao Shan? Said Wei Wuxian.
Ma'am, you are an accquitnece with Bao Shan? Said Wei Wuxian.
She was my best friend, dearest to my heart said, Lan Yi.
But I… failed her said, Lan Yi.
Why do you say so? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Ever since I learned about Yin Iron, I could not sleep said, Lan Yi.
I dived into Lan's book collections said, Lan Yi.
And I was able to put the clues together said, Lan Yi.
I found the hiding place where Lan's ancestors stored the fragment of Iron Yin said, Lan Yi.
Cold Spring Cave is full of natural energy said, Lan Yi.
The cold streams of air from all directions merge here and condensed into a pond of cold water that will never freeze said, Lan Yi.
It was not only the source of the Cold Spring but also the best place to seal the Yin Iron said, Lan Yi.
So this is the place where you found the fragment of the Yin Iron? Said Wei Wuxian.
If Yin Iron cannot be mutualized how come you wanna find it? Asks Lan Zhan.
I thought the way you did Childe Wei, I was young and naive said, Lan Yi.
I ignored the warnings said, Lan Yi.
The fear was it couldn't be controlled but you may be controlled instead said, Lan Zhan.
Bao Shang told me the same thing said, Lan Yi.
But I had always done things my own way, and ask for a clear conscience said, Lan Yi.
I thought I was doing the right thing said, Lan Yi.
I wanted to promote Lans sorcery and heirloom said, Lan Yi.
I ignored her warning and broke into the forbidden ground said, Lan Yi.
Unfortunately at the end of the day, I was wrong said, Lan Yi.
What happened? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Did master Bao Shan know about this? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Flashback start
Lan Yi, do you know what may happen because of your decision? Asks Bao Shan.
I am not doing this for myself said, Lan Yi.
I am doing it for the clan said, Lan Yi.
Why are you trying to stop me? Asks Lan Yi.
Yin Iron is extremely malicious said, Bao Shan.
No one has successfully purified it before said, Bao Shan.
Have you ever thought about it, if you break the seal but cannot control this thing said, Bao Shan.
What then said, Bao Shan.
As the leader of the Lan clan, I created the killer-string said, Lan Yi.
Just because no one has done it before said, Lan Yi.
It doesn't mean I cannot make it happen said, Lan Yi.
End flashback
You can probably tell me what happened next said, Lan Yi.
I could not mutualize Yin Iron said, Lan Yi.
Not only that I made a terrible mistake said Lan Yi.
Once the seal on the Yin Iron is broken it can never be redone said, Lan Yi.
I tried countless times, all failed said Lan Yi.
As a result, I was injured badly said, Lan Yi.
For so many years my spiritual cognition has been guarding this place said, Lan Yi.
The forbidden area of the Lan clan said, Lan Yi.
Since then no one dared step in said, Lan Yi.
How about my grandmaster then? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Your grandmaster? Said Lan Yi.
Honestly speaking I'm Wei Wuxian although I was adopted by Jiang as a child Zangse Wanderer is my mother, and Bao Shan Wanderer is my grandmaster said Wei Wuxian.
It turns out to be so many years said, Lan Yi.
At the time, Baoshan Wanderer had no disciples said, Lan Yi.
But now she even has a disciple's disciple who now stands in front of me said, Lan Yi.
What a pity said, Lan Yi.
Since I led to the trouble she has lived life in seclusion and I was too shameful to seek her said, Lan Yi.
Predecessor, I also have a question to ask said, Lan Zhan.
Are you the one who lead us to this place? Asks Lan Zhan.
Not me said, Lan Yi.
I use my spiritual power to suppress the Yin Iron said, Lan Yi.
In a century to preserve the wards in the back hill said, Lan Yi.
Yet in recent decades, the Yin Iron reveals traces to be activated said, Lan Yi.
My spiritual power weakens said, Lan Yi.
I'm afraid the grievances of the Yin Iron has immersed into water said, Lan Yi.
Predecessor, why the Yin Iron would be like this in the recent two decades? Asks Wei Wuxian.
If my guess is right, the other shards of the Yin Iron have appeared said, Lan Yi.
Can it be assumed the cultivator snatched of spirit we saw last time is a puppet? Asks Wei Wuxian.
They made the same way of Xue Chonghai said Wei Wuxian.
They are testing said, Lan Zhan.
Since I broke the seal, shards of the Yin Iron were able to sense each other said, Lan Yi.
I'm so lucky to live to be 100 years old said, Lan Yi.
The day comes anyway said, Lan Yi.
Predecessor said Wei Wuxian.
Are there any other methods to prevent the Yin Iron to bring disaster to people? Asks Wei Wuxian.
The Yin Iron is the spirit of the heaven and the earth which can't be eradicated, the grievance came after it was broken into pieces said, Lan Yi.
Evil things will follow to places where it lies, the only way is to find these shards back and repress them in the cold pond said, Lan Yi.
Yet, i'm unable to remedy my mistake by myself said, Lan Yi.
Predecessor said, Lan Zhan.
Don't panic said, Lan Yi.
My final day is coming soon said, Lan Yi.
I live to repay my debt said, Lan Yi.
Now you come here, I don't need to manage with efforts said, Lan Yi.
As a descendant of the Lan clan, i'll try my best to accomplish your wish to find the Yin Iron and seal it under the cold pond said, Lan Zhan.
Me too said Wei Wuxian.
It's a domestic affair of the Lan clan, none of your business said Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, you can't stop me anyway said Wei Wuxian.
Although I grew up in the Jiang clan of Yunmeng I can tell what's justice and what's not said Wei Wuxian.
Besides, my grandmaster has been elusive for 100 years for the Yin Iron said Wei Wuxian.
It's part of my duty anyway said Wei Wuxian.
As a disciple of Bao Shan, you are right said, Lan Yi.
Remember to solve the problem of the Yin Iron there must be many barriers said, Lan Yi.
Anyway, I hope you can avoid the mistake I made said, Lan Yi.
Please be assured I will do my utmost said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Yi fades away and the Yin Iron piece drops to the ground,
Preddecsor said Wei Wuxian.
You haven't told us yet where the other pieces are said Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
Wei Wuxian lands on top of Lan Zhan outside the cave.
Lan Zhan, I didn't mean to said Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian said, Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said Wei Wuxian.
Get up said, Lan Zhan.
Ok, sure said Wei Wuxian.
Why are you here? Asks Wei Wuxian.
This question should be asked by me said, Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian, where did you go for the day and night? Asks Jiang Cheng.
Do you know my sister was so worried to eat or sleep at all? Said Jiang Cheng.
If I can't find you, I have to send a letter to Lotus Cove to inform my father said, Jiang Cheng.
A day and a night have passed said, Lan Zhan.
Yes said, Jiang Cheng.
Zewu Jun has been looking for you without rest said, Jiang Cheng.
Do you know that everyone is worrying about you? Asks Jiang Cheng.
Where did you go? Asks Jiang Cheng.
I'll tell you after we go back said Wei Wuxian.
It's a long story said Wei Wuxian.
Wait said Wen Qing.
There is a sense of coldness between your eyebrows said Wen Qing.
What is inside this place? Asks Wen Qing.
We wanted to cure our injuries in the Cold Spring said Wei Wuxian.
But we were carried away by a swirl of rapid water and to an extremely cold place said Wei Wuxian.
What place? Asks Jiang Cheng.
How could this happen in the Cloud recesses? Asks Jiang Cheng.
We were trapped for so long and swam also for a long time, exhausting our strength to find this exit said Wei Wuxian.
What's inside? Asks Wen Qing.
There said, Lan Zhan.
Nothing said Wei Wuxian.
All ice and water said Wei Wuxian.
Let me tell you said Wei Wuxian.
I was almost frozen inside there said Wei Wuxian.
Fine said, Jiang Cheng.
Go back first to ease their worries said, Jiang Cheng.
Yes exactly said Wei Wuxian.
Let's go back said Wei Wuxian.
Let's go said Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
The fatal lot is unavailable said Lan Qiren.
Uncle, Brother, you had already known said, Lan Zhan.
Since predecessor Lan Yi broke the taboo, the Lan clan has forbidden people to enter the back hill said Lan Xichen.
They're afraid the grievance of the Yin Iron may affect the people said Lan Xichen.
Thus in five clans, only the masters of the clan know what happens to the Yin Iron and pass the story to the next generation said Lan Xichen.
That's why the spirit snatch happened and the Aqua Demon appeared said Wei Wuxian.
Zewu Jun you've already known that they may associate with the Yin Iron said Wei Wuxian.
Lady Wei is so smart, your conjecture is basically right when we were at Biling Lake said Lan Xichen.
Wangji, when you came to ask me, I was unable to tell the fact said Lan Xichen.
My confidant said Wei Wuxian.
Now changes have happened said Lan Xichen.
Uncle thought they may associate with the Yin Iron and asked me to check the enchantment it was weakened indeed said Lan Xichen.
This time Uncle went to the area of Qinghe to discuss this with Clan leader Nie but it didn't come to me you entered the cave so soon and I didn't expect the Yin Iron would appear said Lan Xichen.
Then they hear something go outside.
It's the Wen Clan of Qishan again said Wei Wuxian.
Don't chase said Lan Qiren.
It seems the Wen clan of Qishan are coming here as auditors was for the Yin Iron said, Lan Zhan.
Proseccoer Lan Yi said shards of the Yin Iron started to activate in the recent decade because of the appearance of other pieces said Wei Wuxian.
Our Prediction is right, Wen Ruohan has owned a shard of the Yin Iron already, another shard in the Cloud Recesses said Lan Xichen.
That's what he sent people to acquire said Lan Xichen.
How did Wen Ruohan know that Gusu has a piece? Asks Lan Zhan.
The Yin Iron represents the whole world yet 100 years passed no one knows where it is said Lan Qiren.
Yet since Wen Ruohan can get one shard of the Yin Iron he must be helped by someone said Lan Qiren,
Predecessor Lan Yi said pieces of the Yin Iron can feel each other said Wei Wuxian.
Since we have one, why not use it to feel the others? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Uncle, brother what shall we do now? Asks Lan Zhan.
When the Yin Iron appears if some evil people get it diseases will be brought said Lan Qiren.
Now we can only seal it and put it back in the cold pond, set the enchantment again, and make sure no one can get near it said Lan Qiren.
Uncle, Wen Ruohan has a shard of the Yin Iron already said, Lan Zhan.
Shards have associations said, Lan Zhan.
Even if we put it back into the cold pond again, it won't change anything said, Lan Zhan.
Besides, Wen Ruohan has had a covet for the Yin Iron, I'm afraid we can't hide it from him said Lan Zhan.
Let's discuss it later said Lan Qiren.
Uncle said, Lan Zhan.
Don't mention it again said Lan Qiren.
This is secret of the gentry houses said Lan Qiren.
Don't worry master said Wei Wuxian.
I won't tell anyone said Wei Wuxian.

Devil snake said Wei Wuxian.

Only the three thousand family rules would finish me off said Wei Wuxian.
Don't think too much. Let's go said Wei Wuxian.

Mine is the best of the best said Nie Huaisang,
I made it with effort said Nie Huaisang.
How can you just burn it? Asks Nie Huaisang.

It is as light as the wings of a cicada, as fine as jade, and worth thousands of gold said Nie Huaisang.
You can't afford it said Nie Huaisang.

Wei Wuxian listens to the other woman chitchat.
Mianmian it's time to go said Childe Jin.
Wei Wuxian walks off after him.
Where are you going? Wei Wuxian said, Jiang Cheng.
Scene change
Jin disciple: what happened, Childe Jin? Why don't we put lanterns up with Lady Jiang?
Stop asking said Childe Jin.
Jin disciple: Childe, forgive me. You have a promised marriage with Lady Jiang you will be laughed at by others because you left. Childe.
Listen, Mianmian this marriage is not what I want said Childe Jin.
Don't say it again said Childe Jin.
Wait said Wei Wuxian.
What do you mean by " Don't say it again"? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian said Childe Jin.
Does it have something to do with you? Asks Childe Jin.
Lady Wei said Mianmian.
What do you mean by "Don't say it again"? Repeats Wei Wuxian.
Is that difficult to understand? Asks Childe Jin.
Don't say it again said Childe Jin.
You said Wei Wuxian.

Scene change
Wei Ying, since you know you were wrong why did you do that? Asks Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan said Wei Wuxian.
So many ants, all black said Wei Wuxian.
Look, look said Wei Wuxian.
You were asked to kneel and reflect, how can you play with ants? Said Lan Zhan.
So unteachable said Lan Zhan.
But these ants are so cute said Wei Wuxian.
Uncle Jiang, why are you here? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Kneel said Jiang Fengmian.
Kneel so quickly said, Jiang Cheng.
I have often been punished you know that said Wei Wuxian.
But as for Jin Zixuan this peacock he must not be used to kneeling said Wei Wuxian.
I would change my surname if he didn't cry for a long-time kneeling said Wei Wuxian.
Aren't you shameful to say this? Asks Jiang Cheng.
Father came here for you throughout the night said, Jiang Cheng.
Later, you must be scolded by the old master Lan said, Jiang Cheng.
Jin Guangshan said Lan Qiren.
Master Lan said Jin Guangshan.
Brother Jiang said Jin Guangshan.
The two Clan Leaders must be tired after a long journey said Lan Qiren.
Sit down please said Lan Qiren.
This happened all of a sudden said Lan Qiren.
Although it was just a quarrel between teenagers, it relates to the troth between your clans said Lan Qiren.
I dare not make a decision on my own said Lan Qiren.
The only thing I can do is to ask you two to have a discussion said Lan Qiren.
I\ know the whole affair said Jiang Fengmian.
Wei Ying is a naughty girl, caused many troubles for you said Jiang Fengmian.

Brother Jiang, you need not to said Jin Guangshan.
I also know something of the affair said Jin Guangshan.
I'll go back to scold my son said Jin Guangshan.

Two clan leaders don't need to do so said Lan Qiren.
Yet as for the marriage should be dealt with seriously said Lan Qiren.
Master Lan is right, marriage is serious said Jin Guangshan.
Brother Jin, I have one request for you said Jiang Fengmian.
My pleasure said Jin Guanshan.
Please say it, brother Jiang said Jin Guangshan.
We Jiang clan of Yunmeng claim the following of one's nature said Jiang Fengmian.
We don't force our children into something they don't like, although these two children have a troth it was originally set by Yanli's mother said Jiang Fengmian.
Now since both of them are not willing to keep it, let us cancel it said Jiang Fengmian.
Father said, Jiang Cheng.
Brother Jiang, children are too little to understand it said Jin Guangshan.
It is a misunderstanding said Jin Gaungshan.
We can't just ignore this said Jin Guangshan.
Brother Jin, we can set the troth for them but we can't marry for them said Jiang Fengmian.
After all, it is the children who are going to spend the rest of their lives together said Jiang Fengmian.
I had sent a letter to Yanli's mother, let's cancel the troth said Jiang Fengmian.
Brother Jiang, it's my son's fault said Jin Gaungshan.
He ruined such a beautiful union said Jin Guangshan.
Since you have made up your mind, i'll follow your decision said Jin Guangshan.
But this should not affect the relationship between our two clans said Jin Guangshan.

We'll say farewell to Master Lan said Yanli.
Scene change
I don't see reasons behind these said Jiang Fengmian.
To be honest Clan Leader Jiang, what worries us most is the piece that appeared at the beginning said Lan Xichen.
If it was used by someone who has a vicious purpose disasters will happen again said Lan Xichen.
Which will bring endless consequences said Lan Xichen.
Wen clan of Qishan is shrouded by grey clouds said Lan Qiren.

As for merits, Clan Leader Jaing must have her awards said Lan Xichen.
What merits does she have? Asks Jiang Cheng.
Clan Leader Jiang, you should regulate Wei Ying more strictly said Lan Qiren.
Before her coming these youngsters dared do nothing said Lan Qiren.
Yet since she came these cowards are encouraged to flee out at night and drink wines secretly said Lan Qiren.
She is always like this, thanks for Master Lan's disciple said Jiang Fengmian.
Come in said Lan Xichen.
Wangji, what happened? Asks Lan Xichen.

Why? After spending half a year together, can't I say goodbye? Said Wei Wuxian.
I want to hit you said, Jiang Cheng.
He must be happy to hear you'll leave said, Jiang Cheng.
Bullshit said Wei Wuxian.
I tell you these disciples here all like me very much said Wei Wuxian.
No one wants me to leave said Wei Wuxian.
Senior sister, am I right? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Yes said Yanli.
Our Xian's everyone's favorite said Yanli.
Let me ask you, why you only say farewell to Lan Zhan among so many disciples? Said Jiang Cheng.
Can't I admire his talents? Asks We Wuxian.
You are all losers to me said Wei Wuxian.
I desire for equivalence said Wei Wuxian.

If Lan Zhan feels lonely one day and comes here, he can't find you then said Wei Wuxian.
Little rabbits, where will he go by himself? Asks Wei Wuxian.
He can't go find the Yin Iron alone, can he? Asks Wei Wuxian.
