Wei Wuxian finds some candy animals and takes a bunny-shaped one.
She pats for it and goes back to her siblings.
See, bunny, interesting said Wei Wuxian,
Interesting said Yanli.
Wei Wuxian, stop playing said, Jiang Cheng.
We are getting closer to the cloud recesses suad Jiang Cheng,
This time pupils from all famous clans will come said, Jiang Cheng.
Don't let others look down upon us because of you said, Jiang Cheng.
Okay said Wei Wuxian,
And you should keep in mind too, from now on what we do and say represents our Jiang clan of Yunmeng said, Jiang Cheng.
All: yes sir.
He turns around to find his sister's gone.
Wei Wuxian, did you hear my words? Said Jiang Cheng.
Scene change
Sister, we had a long journey from Yunmeng and are exhausted said, Jiang Cheng.
I think we can find a tavern to take a rest and then go to the cloud recesses in order to keep a good image said, Jiang Cheng.
Yes, there are 10 ten days before the salute ceremony said Yanli.
It's been a long journey, let's take rest here said Yanli.
Are we going to stay here for a while? Asks Wei Wuxian.
I heard the emperors smile liquor of Gusu is the most famous said Wei Wuxian.
I've been coveting it for a long time said Wei Wuxian.
I can finally taste it said Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian, don't drink said, Jiang Cheng.
I have to said Wei Wuxian.
Moderate drinking can ease one's mind, why stop me? Said Wei Wuxian.

Senior sister look at her said, Jiang Cheng.
I have this feeling she will definitely make trouble at the could recesses said Jiang Cheng.
Father should consider an arranged marriage for her said, Jiang Cheng.
Xian is born vivacious said Yanli.
It's not a bad thing said Yanli.
Father also says so sometimes said Yanli.
Sister, you and father always defend her said, Jiang Cheng.
No way will she change her character said Yanli.
Besides, we Jiang clan of Yunmeng have always been instructed to feel free, right? Said Yanli.
Scene change
Waiter, what happened? How can you suddenly run out of room? Asks a man.
Sir said the waiter.
This is not our intention at all said the waiter.
Today there suddenly came an influential Childe said the waiter.
He booked the whole tavern and drove out everyone except his people said the waiter.
Sir, I'm sorry but I assume it's better to find another tavern said the waiter.
Woman: waiter.
Oh, misses said the waiter.
According to your order, all the rooms have been tidied said The waiter.
And we also sent the other guests away said the waiter.
Woman: please take these perfume bags and put them in Childe Jin's room with chopped herbs inside. They can keep the mosquitoes at bay.
Woman #2: Mianmian how of consider it you are.
Woman #2: no wonder our Childe favors you.
Stop that said MianMian.
Woman: you shall be careful of this matter taking the renown of our Childe into account.
Please rest assured, I fully understand said the waiter.
Let's go to see our Childe's room said MianMian.
Please go this way, misses said the waiter.
I see the Jin clan of Lanling said, Jiang Cheng.
They must be here for the lecture too said, Jiang Cheng.
And taking a rest in Caiyi town said, Jiang Cheng.
Scene change
Wei Wuxian walks up to the two other women as they are exiting one of the rooms.
Lady MianMian said Wei Wuxian.
May I have one of your perfume bags? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Who are you? Asks MianMian.
Who gave you the right to call me MianMian? Asks MianMian.
It's her said Wei Wuxian.
She may call you MianMian said Wei Wuxian.
Why can't I? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Who on earth are you? Asks MianMian.
Don't call me like that said MianMian.
All right said Wei Wuxian.
What about you telling me your true name? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Then I won't call you MianMian said Wei Wuxian.
Why should I tell you as you ask? Asks MianMian.
You should say your own name before asking somebody else's name said MianMian.
That's easy said Wei Wuxian.
I'll say, Keep it in mind said Wei Wuxian.
My name is Yuandao said Wei Wuixan.
Both: Yuandao.
Woman: MianMian.
They turn and start to whisper.
Woman: I can't remember which clan's Childe bears her name. But judging from her look and demeanor she's not like a nobody.
You… you teased me said MianMian.
Woman: what happened?
Think about the poetry said MianMian.
They talk about what the poetry means.
Don't speak that out said MianMian.
Who misses you? Asks MianMian.
How shameless said MianMian.
Say Lady MainMian you come from the Jin clan of Lanling, right? Said Wei Wuxian.
People say girls from the Jin clan are all pretty as fairies said Wei Wuxian.
Now that I have seen one I can't agree more said Wei Wuxian.
Glib-tongued said MainMian.
I am Wei Ying from the Jaing clan of Yunmeng said Wei Wuxian.
My coutsry name is Wuxian said Wei Wuxian.
We're going to the Lan clan of Gusu for the lecture and taking a rest in Caiyi town said Wei Wuxian,
As fellow cultivators, Lady Mainmian won't bear to see us sleep out on the streets said Wei Wuxian.
So, Ms. Yuandao you have a decent name said Mainmian.
However, as for the rooms said Mainmian.
Woman: MainMian our Childe won't bring so many people here anyway. These rooms are vacant for nothing.
Woman: not to mention they arrived earlier.
Such being the case, Childe Wei, you and your party may stay said MainMian.
And I won't bother our Childe with this matter said MainMian.
Ladies, much obliged said Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
Only a frivolous playgirl like you can take the rooms back from those girls said Jiang Cheng,
Senior sister, listen to what he said says Wei Wuxian.
Jiang Cheng, i'll generously takt that as your envy and jealousy of me said Wei Wuxian.
How about you two fighting it out here and now? Said Yanli.
But senior sister who is the Childe Jin Mianmian mentioned? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Who else could it be? Approximate age is the same as us and a Jin clan said Jiang Cheng,
If it's not the youngest Childe, Jin Zixuan who else could it be? Said Jiang Cheng,
Waiter: Ladies and Gentleman I'm terribly sorry but there isn't enough rooms. Please empty these rooms as well.
They walk out of their room and run into Jin Zixuan.
Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, please to see you said Jin Zixuan.
I suppose the junior Childe Jin is also going to the Lan clan of Gusu as an auditor, right said Jiang Cheng.
Man: watch your manner.
Man: our Childe is Childe Jin not junior Childe Jin.
Childe Jiang is also passing by this place? Asks Zixuan.
Yes, we need to take a rest here said, Cheng.
Man: Unfortunately every room in this tavern has been booked by the Jin clan of Lanling.
Man: you guys better go elsewhere.
Hey, but we arrived earlier said Wei Wuxian.
Man: You are earlier, so what? You should go complain to the owner. Anyway, we have booked the whole tavern.
Man: Our Childe would rather not have an association with some random folks.
As for the Lan clan, only a few quotas are available for each clan said Wei Wuxian.
Junior Childe Jin, you brought out a grand display with so many people said Wei Wuxian.
What's your purpose? Ask Wei Wuxian.
Man: we're Childe Jin's servants, What's wrong?
So it's real that the Jin clan is obtentionious said Wei Wuxian.
But I heard the Lan clan is strict and principled, said Wei Wuixan.
Junior Childe Jin takes so many retinues. I'm really afraid that you couldn't stand that kind of suffering said Wei Wuxian.
Xian said Yanli.
I'm just providing a friendly suggestion said Wei Wuixan.
Man: How dare you insult our Childe.
Man: What is the manner of the Jiang clan?
What insult? Said Wei Wuxian.
Name it said Wei Wuxian.
And you can confront me but don't involve the Jiang clan of Yunmeng said Wei Wuxian.
Cheng, Xian go pack up said Yanli.
We'll find another place said Yanli.
Goodbye, Childe Jin said Yanli.
Man: Childe. Your room is the next one.
Forgive me, Miss. Jiang. I'm mistaken about the room, no offense said Zixuan.
You are too modest to say that said Wei Wuxian.
Isn't the whole tavern yours? Asks Wei Wuxian.
It's said that the equities of the Jin clan is of high reputation said Wei Wuxian.
Now I can just say so so said Wei Wuxian.
They walk out of the tavern.
This Jin Zixuan, how arrogant he is said, Jiang Cheng.
It's a pity that I couldn't even touch the pot of the Emperor's smile said Wei Wuxian.
Look at our situation said, Jiang Cheng.
You're still thinking about liquor? Said Jiang Cheng.
Can't you see the look on Senior sister's face? Asks Jiang Cheng.
I don't know what Uncle Jiang was thinking said Wei Wuxian.
Why did he arrange a marriage between Senior sister and that peacock? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
Lan despicple: according to the Lan clan's principles everyone coming for the lecture is not allowed in without an invitation.
Oh, buddy, I've told you a thousand times. We accidentally got our invitation lost said Wei Wuxian.
We never intended to lose it said Wei Wuxian.
What's more, all of us are standing here said Wei Wuxian.
What can we lie to you about? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Lan disciple: miss, without an invitation I can identify you, people.
Look the sun is about to set said Wei Wuxian.
You can't just watch us sleep out on the streets, can you? said Wei Wuxian.
How about this. Please go and fetch your clan leader said Wei Wuxian.
He has seen our senior sister. At the sight of her, he'll know we're talking honestly said Wei Wuxian.
Lan disciple: well then, please wait here for a moment until we change shifts when 17:45,
17:45? The sun has already set, then said Wei Wuxian.
Xian said Yanli.
Behave yourself said Yanli.
But senior sister said Wei Wuxian.
As father instructed, no matter when we can't forget our manners said Yanli.
Let's leave the gate and plan for the next step said Yanli.
They then turn to leave a young man around their age walks past them to the gate.
Lan disciple: second Childe, welcome back.
This second Childe of Lan must be Lan Wangji, one of the two jades of Lan, and the younger brother of their clan leader Lan Xichen said Jiang Cheng.
He must be our key to get in said Wei Wuxian.
They clear a path as a body is brought forward.
Lan disciple: what happened?
Just carry him inside said, Lan Zhan.
How can he end up like this? Asks Jiang Cheng.
End? He's not dead if I say said Wei Wuxian.
He's more like cursed by some wicked sorcery said Wei Wuxian.
Second Childe Lan I am Jiang Cheng from Jiang clan of Yunmeng, son of our Clan leader Jiang Fengmian said, Jiang Cheng.
These are my sisters, Jiang Yanli and Wei Ying also called Wei Wuxian said, Jiang Cheng.
Second childe Lan, we've heard much about you said Jiang Cheng.
My honor said, Lan Zhan.
Second Childe Lan, we accidentally got our invitation lost said, Jiang Cheng.
It's getting late and inconvenient to sleep outside said Jiang Cheng.
Please make a merciful exception for us said, Jiang Cheng.
No invitation, no entry said Lan Zhan.
Second Childe Lan, we come all way from Yunmeng, despite the exhausting travel we finally made it before sunset to the cloud recesses said Wei Wuxian.
You just turn us down for an invitation? Said Wei Wuxian.
Don't you think it's a little rigid? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan repeats his answer.
Second Childe Lan, it was an acciendt said Wei Wuixan.
We never intended to lose it said Wei Wuxian.
Please make an exception said Wei Wuxian.
Find it and come back said, Lan Zhan.
Second Childe Lan, the sun is about to set, while we are more than 20 miles away from Caiyi Town said Wei Wuxian.
You ask us to find it now? Said Wei Wuxian.
What an imposition said Wei Wuxian.
Second Childe Lan, in the worst we can said Wei Wuxian.
Suddenly she cannot talk.
Lan disciple: Second Childe has put a silencing charm on you. No one can relieve it except the Lan. and it dispels automatically after a stick of incense time.
Scene change
Sis, don't you worry. She just went back to the tavern for the invitation said, Jiang Cheng.
Everything will be fine said, Jiang Cheng.
I just worry… said Yanli.
Sis, Jin Ziyuan is typical of his kind. Don't worry too much said, Jiang Cheng.
I do not said Yanli.
I just worry that Childe Jin will embarrass Xian for her character said Yanli.
As long as she stays fine with others, nobody will embarrass her said, Jiang Cheng.
Cheng, you know that Xian always takes it seriously when it's important said Yanli.
Second Childe Lan said Yanli.
Scene change
Senior Sister! Cheng! Said Wei Wuxian.
Where is everybody? Ponders Wei Wuxian.
She goes to enter the gate but is blocked by a barrier.
No wonder nobody's here said Wei Wuxian.
She uses a spell to temporarily break the barrier and walks in.
Wards are used to be broken said Wei Wuxian.
She sneaks into cloud recesses but is caught by Lan Zhan.
What a condcende, we meet again said Wei Wuxian.
S-Second Childe Lan, you come out this late at night said Wei Wuxian.
Are coming to admire the moon? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Second Childe Lan, I come here for my senior sister said Wei Wuxian.
Oh, right said Wei Wuxian.
I found the invitation said Wei Wuxian.
It's right here, i'll show you said Wei Wuxian.
Breaking threw wards, a violation of Lan clan principles said, Lan Zhan.
Huh? Said Wei Wuxian.
Who comes at night should not be allowed until 7:00 AM. Two violations of Lan clan principles said, Lan Zhan.
Unauthorized carrying of liquor. Three violations of Lan Clan principles said, Lan Zhan.
Second Childe Lan, I… am new here in Lan clan of Gusu and not familiar with many rules said Wei Wuxian.
But I swear such things won't happen again said Wei Wuxian.
What's more, I was in a hurry to find my sister and Cheng said Wei Wuxian.
How about this you just let me in for a glimpse said Wei Wuxian.
Just one glimpse said Wei Wuxian.
Well then said Wei Wuxian.
The emperor's smile said Wei Wuxian.
I spare you one pot said Wei Wuxian.
Forget about these, deal? Said Wei Wuxian.
Attempt to bribe law enforcer. Double guilty said, Lan Zhan.
Second Childe Lan, are you seriously so inflexible? Asks Wei Wuxian.
When we were at the gate you put a silencing charm on me for no reason said Wei Wuxian.
You are somehow responsible for that case, right? Said Wei Wuxian.
She goes to leave but he blocks her.
I'm occupied today said Wei Wuxian.
Excuse me said Wei Wuxian.
Lan Zhan, pay for my emperor's smile said Wei Wuxian.
Turn around said, Lan Zhan.
What's this? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Lan clan of Gusu principles said, Lan Zhan.
This much? Said Wei Wuxian.
Put it down said, Lan Zhan.
Since you came here for the lecture, let's count how many principles you have violated tonight said, Lan Zhan.
Well, I'm so fortunate that I haven't been born in the stiff and horrible Lan clan of Gusu said Wei Wuxian.
She goes up onto the roof.
The liqueur is forbidden in the cloud recesses said Wei Wuxian.
Well, I can stay outside and sit here to drink said Wei Wuxian.
Recalcitrant said Lan Zhan.
The other female cultivators in every clan all admire the famous second childe Lan said Wei Wuxian.
What a pity said Wei Wuxian.
Pity? Said Lan Zhan.
What a pity they don't know the person they're admiring is a relentless unreasonable and rigid guy said Wei Wuxian.
But it doesn't matter when I go back to Yunmeng I'm going to said Wei Wuxian.
He uses the silencing charm on her again,
Let's go said, Lan Zhan.
She walks after him.
Scene change
Uncle said Lan Xichen.
This man's death looks strange said Lan Xichen.
Nothing like this has happened before said Lan Xichen.
It looks like he was cursed by some wicked sorcery said Lan Xichen.
Wangji only brought one corpse back? Asks Lan Qiren.
Clans around Gusu have reported lately said Lan Xichen.
They say there are cultivators going missing recently said Lan Xichen.
So I sent Wangji to investigate that said Lan Xichen.
This man is… one of our disciples from the outside families said Lan Xichen.
Wicked sorcery said Lan Qiren.
Uncle said Lan Xichen.
Who is making noises? Asks Lan Xichen.
Big brother said, Lan Zhan.
Lady Wei, the cloud recesses is not like the Lotus cove said Lan Xichen.
There are many rules indeed said Lan Xichen.
You are new here said Lan Xichen.
I can't blame the innocent. But under no circumstance can I defame our principles said Lan Xichen.
So the punishment is inevitable said Lan Xichen.
As for how Wangji it's up to you said Lan Xichen.
Transcribe the principles 300 times said, Lan Zhan.
Wangji just dispels the silencing charm on Lady Wei said Lan Xichen.
You fuddy-duddy said Wei Wuxian.
Zewu Jun, listen to me said Wei Wuxian.
What Lan Zhan said is totally wrong said Wei Wuxian.
He is such dumb if one word is enough he won't say to words said Wei Wuxian.
Let me speak said Wei Wuxian.
The truth is my party and I arrived at dusk at the gate of the cloud recesses only to find our invitation was lost said Wei Wuxian.
But it's not actually us to blame said Wei Wuxian.
It's all that peacock Jin Ziyuan's fault said Wei Wuxian.
Anyway, we made it to the gate and weren't able to get in said Wei Wuxian.
We had no choice said Wei Wuxian.
So I went back for the invitation alone said Wei Wuxian.
And the emperor's smile from Gusu is so well known said Wei Wuxian.
It's reasonable I bought two pots, isn't it? Said Wei Wuxian.
However, I couldn't even get one sip before Lan Zhan broke one of them said Wei Wuxian.
Before I could get my liquor constipated you know what he put a silencing charm on me said Wei Wuxian.
Lady Wei, anyhow you have violated our principles first said Lan Xichen.
So you can't blame Wangji for that said Lan Xichen.
What's more, Lady and Childe Jiang have got in all thanks to Wangji who just explained thing to me said Lan Xichen.
Brother said, Lan Zhan.
My siblings, they got it in? asks Wei Wuxian.
He let them in? Asks Wei Wuxian.
So you aren't so grim said Wei Wuxian.
Hey, Lan Zhan are you serious? Said Wei Wuxian.
I am sorry ok? Said Wei Wuxian.
Well, Lady Wei since it was a misunderstanding please go back and have a rest said Lan Xichen.
Zewu Jun, is he dead? Asks Wei Wuxian.
Why covered with a white cloth? Asks Wei Wuxian.
What did you say? Asks Lan Xichen.
Am I wrong? Asks Wei Wuxian.
But when I was at the gate this afternoon he was still alive said Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
Man #1: the things I just told you do you get them all?.
Yes, your exlenncy said Wen Qing.
I understand said Wen Qing.
Man: i'll send Wen Chao with you. He'll take you to the cloud recesses.
Man: everything after that is up to you. Remember the shard of the Yin iron looks exactly the same as the one on Dafan Mountian. You could reconigze it.
Man: find it and bring it here.
Your excellency I… said Wen Qing.
Man: speak
Ning is frail and feeble since childhood may I take him with me? Asks Wen Qing.
Man: you worry that he would be treated unfairly in the Nevernight?
How dare I said Wen Qing.
Man: whatever, do what you want. Ning Wen has a special constitution. Maybe he could help you when you do the investigation.
Thank you, your exlencyy said Wen Qing.
Man: departure is tomorrow. Off you go.
Understood said Wen Qing.
Scene change
You see. He looks dead and feels like a dead but he's still affected by the fluctuation of spiritual power said Wei Wuxian.
He can't count as a true dead said Wei Wuxian.
Nothing more than… said Wei Wuxian.
Than what? Asks Lan Xichen.
It's hard to say said Wei Wuxian.
But he seems to have lost the spiritual cognition said Wei Wuxian.
Spirit snatch said, Lan Zhan.
A puppet said Lan Qiren.
Yes, he's like a puppet said Wei Wuxian.
A manipulable puppet said Wei Wuxian.
Scene change
Wangji said Xichen.
Big brother said, Lan Zhan.
Wangji what's the matter? Asks Xichen.
About that puppet brother and Uncle seemed preoccupied said, Lan Zhan.
I just had a conversion with Uncle said Xichen.
The specific reason remains unknown but wr can preliminarily infer that it should be caused by someone's trails of wicked sorcery said Xichen.
If that is true the culprit must be ambitious said Xichen.
Cultivators going missing may be just the start said Xichen.
What's your plan, Big brother? Asks Lan Zhan.
For now, we could only inspect around said Xichen.
But what if… said Xichen.
Big brother said, Lan Zhan.
Never mind said Xichen.
Maybe I just think too much said Xichen.
Wangji, look into the missing case again said Xichen.
But remember, don't be reckless said Xichen.
I know, please rest assured said, Lan Zhan.
I am always assured of you said Xichen.
Ever since our father's death you are becoming more and more prudent said Xichen.
I sometimes wonder whether I have been too strict with you said Xichen.
Brother has taken a lot of duties, I'm just helping spare the burden said, Lan Zhan.
It's good for you to be with me during the lecture said Xichen.
Many disciples from different clans are at the same age as you said Xichen.
It's time for you to make some friends said Xichen.
I actually feel good about that Lady Wei said Xichen.
Though she sometimes does some excessive things said Xichen.
She is smart and has a lively and cheerful character said Xichen.
Wangji doesn't she have some real skills? Said Xichen.
You two tied against each other? Said Xichen.
Scene change
Xue Yang. what are you laughing at? Asks Wen Ruohan.
Your excellency, i'm just laughing because that all these puppets are just a trial said, Xue Yang.
Yin Iron can do much more than this said, Xue Yang.
Is it? Asks Wen Ruohan.
If your excellency doesn't trust me don't trust the power of the Yin Iron why did you bother to snatch so many cultivators to test the shard of the Yin iron? said Xue Yang.
Xue Yang, you dare talk to me like that? Said Wen Ruohan.
What a daredevil said Wen Ruohan.
I don't fear death said, Xue Yang.
I fear boredom said, Xue Yang.
You help me find the other three shards of Yin iron and subdue all other clans said Wen Ruohan.
Then you can call your life worthwhile said Wen Ruohan.
Please forget your excellency said, Xue Yang.
I don't have the slightest interest in dominating others. My request has been given the first time I came to the Nevernight to see you said Xue Yang.
I hope your excellency don't forget it said, Xue Yang.
Don't worry, once i've collected all four shards of Yin iron your wis will definitely be fulfilled said Wen Ruohan.
Thank you in advance for your excellency said, Xue Yang.
Xue Yang, west of Dafan, east of Gusu, north of Yunmeng where is the last shard of Yin iron? Said Wen Ruohan.
Don't forget the promise between us, your excellency said, Xue Yang.
When your excellency asks me to go to the Chang clan of Yueyang for that shard of Yin iron I will tell you the last part then said, Xue Yang.
