Core of the Truehearted - Part Nine is the eighty-seventh chapter of Mo Dao Zu Shi.
Synopsis []
Wei Wuxian climbs the tree, and wonders if Lan Wangji will catch him if he falls.
He lets go, and Lan Wangji catches him. Wei Wuxian embraces him tightly, and thanks him for catching him. He muses to himself that while he is not afraid of falling, it still hurts. If someone was finally about to catch him, it would be "more than wonderful." Lan Wangji hesitates slightly before returning his hand to Wei Wuxian's back.
Wei Wuxian then leads Lan Wangji to the ancestral hall at Lotus Pier. They offer incense to Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, and Wei Wuxian admits that Madame Yu frequently sent him here to kneel for punishment. Lan Wangji says that he had heard of it, and after criticizing her temper, Wei Wuxian lights more incense for her.
Lan Wangji lights incense for Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan as well, and they bow twice. Wei Wuxian prays to them for a chance for a third bow with Lan Wangji, but just then, Jiang Cheng enters.
Jiang Cheng tells them never to enter Lotus Pier again. When Lan Wangji tells him to mind his words, Jiang Cheng tells them to mind their actions.
They attempt to leave, but Jiang Cheng criticizes Wei Wuxian for forgetting that Lan Wangji is the reason Wei Wuxian brought the wrath of the Qishan Wen Clan down on Lotus Pier.
Jiang Cheng has always considered Lan Wangji and Wen Ning partially responsible for the destruction of Lotus Pier, and seems intent on settling his score tonight.[1]
