Jiang Cheng had suspected that would be the answer. It was for the best as he certain with someone like Wei Wuxian around there would be nothing but complications. The man was a headache! He wasn't feeling at all overwhelmed himself with having just humiliated himself and being emotionally vulnerable and then facing taking on his nephews problems that apparently he'd screwed up the last time. No. They weren't dealing with subtleties and manipulations that were far more his brother's specialty. Nah. Wanyin was sure it was best and not selfish at all that his brother, who had had a hand in allowing this to happen should go home instead of help him further.
"Very well," he says coolly. "You better get going before Fairy feels well enough to stand then."
The invitation for Huaisang to come with him to Lanling is on his tongue, but his dark mood and recent rejections twist the tone of the question. The other sect leader didn't want to deal with this any further. Whatever was going on between them had been fun but they were parting ways.
His expression hardens, much like a certain nephew's did after news of leaving Yuan. He circles his hands into a bow. "You're free to go as you please, Nie-zongzhu. At least accept the escort so I know you arrive safely. Thank you for your aid."
