The Founder of Diabolism

Pursuing Studies

Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, and their friend Nie Huaisang, starts their education in the prestigious Cloud Recesses to become better cultivators. They meet the top disciple Lan Wangji, whom Wei Wuxian confessed he had angered upon his arrival in Gusu. Due to Wei Wuxian's playfulness, he broke three rules during his first encounter with Lan Wangji, and thus resented by both the latter and teacher Lan Qiren. However, despite his mischief, he is shown to be a knowledgeable student, although his ways of solution involve the use of the forbidden demonic path. He is then punished to copy passages in the Library Pavilion and to be supervised by Lan Wangji, much to Wei Wuxian's dismay as he does not chat with him. One month later, Wei Wuxian finishes the punishment and draws a portrait of Lan Wangji as a farewell gift. But this is just another of his pranks as Lan Wangji was drawn femininely. Wei Wuxian also replaces Lan Wangji's poetry book with an erotic art book, causing a fight to break out in the library as Wei Wuxian teases him continuously. On the other hand, the Wen sect causes trouble for the Lan sect as dangerous water ghouls are driven downwards to Gusu's waters.
