Wen Chao demands everyone to hand over their swords and memorise the Wen Sect Essence Collection by the next day. In Wei WuXian's and Jiang Cheng's room, Wei WuXian fails to leave and find Lan WangJi as their freedom is taken away. The following day, Lan WangJi, Wei WuXian and Jin ZiXuan are called out to recite the rules, but Wei WuXian steps out to recite GuSu's rules instead to prank him. As punishment, they are ordered to pick up feces in the garden. During the work, Wei WuXian tries to talk to Lan WangJi about the Cloud Recesses in private but is caught by Wen Chao. The latter uses his whip to tie and hit Wei WuXian, even injuring Lan WangJi's leg further when he tries to stop Wen Chao. Wei WuXian is then locked up in the dungeon with a ferocious beast. Due to Wei WuXian's intense fear of dogs and the beast trying to eat him, he is injured and worn out. However, the beast is suddenly laid to rest and Wei WuXian recognizes it to be Wen Qing's efforts. Wen Ning also comes to hand him some medicine for his injuries in secret. The next day, Wei WuXian returns to join the others while still putting up his usual cheerful facade. In the Wen sibling's room, Wen Qing pleas with Wen Ning not to interfere with Wei WuXian and get in trouble as he is the only family she has left. As the disciples recite the rules out loud, a disturbance is reported on Muxi Mountain and Wen Chao decides to use the disciples as bait to capture the beast. While everyone searches for the beast on the mountain, Wei WuXian offers to carry Lan WangJi on his back because of his leg injury. (Source: Wikipedia)
