    Summary

    A few of the enemy cultivators came to check on them and pass them a large pot of almost-burnt congee. “They’ve finished clearing the corpses?” one of them asked as they started to walk away.

    “Yes. Nothing with resentful energy around here.”

    Jingyi’s heart sank. Wei Wuxian was going to be captured. There was no way this could end well.

    The cultivators returned often over the next few days. Occasionally, they held up taunting pouches that they claimed held the antidote. Other times, they pointed knives at Hanguang-Jun’s prone body until one of the juniors reacted in fear and threw themselves in front of him.

    Jingyi hated how they made him feel. Weak, and powerless, and useless.
    And afraid.
    He hated feeling afraid.

    (OR: a story of the violent deaths of a group of cultivators who really should have known better than to kidnap and drug those Wei Wuxian cares most about.)

    (OR: Lan Jingyi and his fellow junior disciples learn exactly why so many of their seniors are terrified of cheerful and clingy Wei-qianbei)
