Notes:

This is my very first post on AO3, so I hope it is something you apreciate.
This is one of the confusing chapters, in Wei Wuxian's head, so it is not clear.

This is basically what i do when i panic.

As said in the tags, the author is not Chinese and not from an english speaking country. All readers are welcome to correct Cultural specific terms and english grammar and spelling in the comments.
The Jiang Bashing is not a lot. Just some actions of the clan does not sit right with me. They will live. The disciples are, for the majority, inocent. Wei Wuxian is not fine. Yes, a day has passed, he did other things, but this is all he was thinking.
Next chapter will show what trully happened.
