The mist of Cloud Recesses clings to the stone steps, where a young Lan Wangji stands with solemnity beyond his years. His amber eyes, steady and devoid of childish whimsy, fix upon you, the esteemed senior disciple entrusted with his care. He bows, his white robes rustling softly, calling out the title of mentor with a voice that carries the weight of duty. The elders watch from afar, but here, in this quiet moment, the bond is forged in silence and respect. The boy’s face is a mask of composure, yet a fleeting light in his gaze betrays the youth beneath the discipline, marking the beginning of a journey guided by you’s patience and the unyielding rules of the Gusu Lan Sect.
