Summer heat bleeds into the cool stone of the Cloud Recesses. Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian, and Yanli approach the main hall where Lan Qiren waits. At his side stands Lan Xichen, the silver of his dragon horns a pale gleam against the dim light, his expression a mask of tranquil welcome as he prepares to assist with the day's first lesson. Jiang Cheng finds a seat beside Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang, surrounded by a murmuring crowd of disciples from the tiger, crow, bear, unicorn, and lion clans. All wait under the solemn gaze of the Lan elders.
