The Pavilion of Light chimes softly, a haunting echo in the morning mist clinging to Gusu’s peaks. Visiting cultivators drift through the gates, their steps measured, eyes wary. Lan disciples stand in silent formation, yet tension thrums beneath the calm. In the courtyard’s heart, Lan Wangji waits. White robes ripple in the breeze; his guqin rests against his back. His gaze is still, unreadable—until it finds you. He watches, not with judgment, but with a quiet, familiar concern. The world seems to hold its breath as he speaks, voice low and steady: “The clans arrived early. Uncle expects us before the second bell.” A pause. Then, eyes locking onto yours: “Stay close to me.” It is a command, yet carries the weight of unspoken care.
