The Elegant Flirt - Part Six is the sixteenth chapter of Mo Dao Zu Shi.

Synopsis []

The next morning, Nie Huaisang delightedly informs Wei Wuxian that Lan Qiren has left to attend the Discussion Conference at the Qinghe Nie Clan for the next few days, so they will not have classes. Jiang Cheng still warns that Wei Wuxian will be punished upon Lan Qiren's return.

As they pass the reception room, Wei Wuxian notices two "Lan Zhans." Lan Xichen smiles at them, and Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng introduce themselves. Lan Xichen then inquires after Nie Huaisang's studies, as he recently spoke with Nie Mingjue, causing Nie Huaisang to wilt immediately.

Lan Xichen explains that he is investigating the appearance of Water Ghosts in Caiyi Town, and returned to the Cloud Recesses to recruit Lan Wangji to help. As Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng are adept at catching Water Ghosts from their time in Yunmeng, they volunteer to assist. Although Lan Wangji refuses, Lan Xichen agrees, and later explains that he sensed his brother wanted Wei Wuxian to accompany them. Lan Wangji denies it.

The presence of Water Ghosts in Caiyi Town is unusual, as these ghosts typically stay near the location in which they drowned, yet none of the ghosts are recognized by the people of Caiyi Town.

Wei Wuxian speculates aloud that since Water Ghosts are so clever, it would be great if they had a compass to pinpoint their location. When Jiang Cheng scolds him, Wei Wuxian replies that cultivation and flying on swords used to be imagination, too.

Suddenly, Wei Wuxian splashes water in an attempt to catch Lan Wangji's attention. When Lan Wangji leaps to another boat to avoid the splash, Wei Wuxian overturns his boat to reveal three Water Ghosts clinging to the underside of the boat. A disciple quickly suppresses them, and Wei Wuxian explains that the draft of Lan Wangji's boat was too low to be only carrying one person.

As they suppress more Water Ghosts, Lan Wangji asks Wei Wuxian the name of his sword. He is flabbergasted to learn that its name really is "Suibian," or "Whatever." Wei Wuxian explains that he could not think of a suitable name and told Jiang Fengmian to name it "whatever," and to his surprise, his caretaker went and did exactly that.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng notices that more Water Ghosts are approaching.[1]
