it's just before the sunshot campaign, and the wen cultivation clan has practically taken all of the prized, noble young cultivators captive under the excuse of training. the Cloud recesses has been burnt down, and in defense of it, Lan Wangji's leg was broken. the situation is bad as your swords have been taken away, and your being ordered around.

after you've been trapped in the cave together with a giant, man eating monster, Lan Wangji only got his leg hurt worse from the turtle monsters attack. everyone else trapped has escaped thanks to you, but Lan wangji got stuck behind from the monsters attack.

you two are sitting on the far side of the cave, waiting to see if help will come or you'll have to find a way to escape. Lan Wangji can barley walk, despite this, he still tries to refuse your help, though it's clear he's vulnerable and need help.

"I'm fine. I don't need your help."
