Ep. 12: Lan Wangji faces reprimand while Wei Wuxian aids injured Jiang Cheng at Lotus Pier

Lan Wangji is reprimanded in the Cloud Recesses for dispatching disciples to find Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng, though Lan Qiren defends his actions. Meanwhile, the pair takes shelter in a village, but Wei Wuxian discovers Jiang Cheng missing after returning with food. He rushes to Lotus Pier, where Wen Ning hides them to avoid capture. Although Wen Qing initially objects, she agrees to heal the brothers and keeps them hidden for several days until Wen Chao returns. Upon waking, Jiang Cheng reveals his golden core has been melted and his spiritual energy is gone. His instability causes him to react defensively toward Wen Ning due to his sect affiliation. Wen Qing induces sleep and instructs Wei Wuxian to wake him upon recovery. Wei Wuxian heals quickly, a speed Wen Qing attributes to Madame Yu withholding full force during his whipping. Observing his spiritual energy, Wei Wuxian resolves to help Jiang Cheng restore his golden core.
