Wei Wuxian totally cons Lan Zhan into buying Yuan a bunch of toys.
"Yuan, you are bothering him." Aw, how could Yuan be bothering anyone?
"Silence during meals. You too." Zing! Lan Zhan is in fine form today.
"Did you come to Yiling for me?" Dude, why else would he come to Yiling? He's never ever ever going to admit it, though.
Oh no, Wei Wuxian missed Yanli's wedding? Oh, no, he didn't miss it yet. But he can't go.
I like that Wei Wuxian has set himself up a magical pager system in case something goes wrong back at the Burial Grounds. He's a responsible Demonic Cultivator. Lan Zhan remembers to take Yuan's toys before running out of the restaurant.
Back at the Burial Grounds, Wen Ning is awake. And losing his shit.
"Blood Pool Cave." Maybe keeping the puppet in a place called Blood Pool Cave was a mistake?
Daniel thinks that Wei Wuxian is sandbagging this fight just to get Lan Zhan to help out. I think he underestimates how badass Wen Ning is.
And here is the guqin. Maybe Wei Wuxian will stop complaining about all those mind-calming musical scores now. Wait, where does Lan Zhan keep that guqin when it's not in use? I guess he must have one of those weird bag of holding things. But where does he keep that? I know, it's magic.
And Wen Ning has calmed down. The cinnamon roll is back. Yay!
"Hey, sweetie. Let me give you the tour. This is my Blood Pool Cave."
Wei Wuxian is so sure that nothing can possibly go wrong with Wen Ning. So, we're probably mere minutes from Wen Ning going bonkers and killing someone.
Yuan is the best wingman. But even he can't persuade Lan Zhan to stay for dinner.
"You're suddenly talking so nicely to me. I'm scared." Heh.
Of course, Wen Ning is the best cook.
Lan Zhan's punishment for going to Yiling without permission is to meditate in the snow while holding some bamboo sticks.
Okay, who is this guy pretending to be a disciple of Wei Wuxian? I think both of these guys are fakers. Yes, okay, both fakers.
Has Wei Wuxian taken up painting? Boom! Ooopsie, the compass of evil exploded. Did I say he was a responsible Demonic Cultivator? Up to a point, maybe.

More fun facts - Lan Wangji's guqin isn't any old guqin, it's a spiritual tool. Which means it's sort of sentient and definitely magical (like their swords, or WWX's dizi, or Lan Xichen's xiao). Spiritual tools also have names. Wanna guess what Lan Wangji named his guqin?
Wangji.
No, for reals.
It just... it makes me want to hug ickle Lan Wangji so hard.\
But Wen Ning is still the best cinnamon roll. I totally love Daniel's theory that WWX is fronting so he can see LWJ fight, but you're right. Wen Ning got a massive sheet upgrade when he took the necromancer bodyguard prestige class.
