Yuan steps forward as Wangji nudges him, trying to keep his expression from giving him away when he's introduced as Lan Yuan. Instead he bows deeply.
"It's an honour to meet you, shifu." he says politely, suspecting it might give the old man a heart-attack to call him great uncle just yet (and also not quite feeling ready to do so).
He's not entirely sure it makes the best impression to just walk away, but he lets Hanguang Jun steer him away, his gaze fixed straight ahead so he didn't have to look at the people staring at him. Jingyi's right, though, it is kind of hilarious.
Zizhen helps Jingyi grab Yuan's things, mostly to hide his own laughter.
Someone in the crowd, quietly, makes the suggestion that Yuan must be Wei Wuxian's son, and this seems to be met with a little less horrified surprise - the idea of Lan Wangji having a youthful indiscretion was ridiculous, but Wei Wuxian? With his reputation (however unearned)? Honestly it's a surprise there aren't more bastard children running around.
