How can I-[Wei Wuxian cuts himself off with a loud huff, shaking his head and letting out a soft chime of laughter. Ridiculous. It's ridiculous! Just because Lan Zhan is calm and quiet while he's menacing people, he somehow manages to fool the entire cultivation world into believing he's refined!
It's totally unfair!]
Listen up, Jin Ling. Lan Zhan is probably the best, wisest, and most righteous cultivator of our generation—friendship with me withstanding, I didn't say he was perfect after all. [He might be, if not for the one mistake he'd made in befriending Wei Wuxian, but he's not going to complain about that. He rather liked that particular flaw of Lan Zhan's.]
But that kind of goodness—the kind of righteous that Lan Zhan is is the kind of righteous that always, always causes trouble. Lan Zhan will stand up for what he believes in no matter what. He isn't going to sit there and politic or try to soothe egos to make people feel better about doing the right thing. He's going to do the right thing—the actual right thing, not just what benefits the great sects—the rest of the world be damned.
[And oh it's going to be so much fun to watch. The other sects really have no idea what they've done electing him chief cultivator and personally, Wei Wuxian can't wait to watch them realize that he won't play their games worth a damn. He snorts and reaches for his tea, grinning now in real amusement.]
Also, [He takes another drink, grin turning wicked] He's petty as hell. Just ask your uncle.
[Well.] Actually on second thought, don't do that. It'll end poorly.
