Extracts from the diaries of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, relating to the case of Lan Zetian (Nov. 4 to Nov. 27)
I have been assigned a case to solve as the final assessment for this cultivation masters course. Our class was told that these cases are non-violent, low risk and low impact, suitable for those practising cultivation at a novice level. With my previous experience interning with Brother and Uncle, this seemed too easy. I was correct in this assumption. I have been paired with Wei Wuxian.
When I asked Brother to swap partners with someone else he refused and would not explain why. I did not like his smile, he is planning something. Infuriating. I just do not know why it is at my expense. Uncle, the only one who could change Brother’s mind, refused to hear me out. I understand that he does not want to undermine Brother’s authority, especially now that Brother has taken over the Masters program from him, but I feel like he has failed me. “Trust your brother’s judgement.” How could I possibly benefit from working with the class disruption?
