And a few weeks later, Wen Ning has leveled up to level 6, and he has five stat points to allocate.
He also is at 19 WIZ.
He runs to the driver's seat, gets in, presses the gas, and starts driving like a maniac.
"Your sister said you were sick."
The necessary formalities having been dealt with, Lan Wangji is now focusing on driving like the protagonist of 2 Fast 2 Furious.
He should do that! Wen Ning approves of being far away as fast as possible.
He opens the manual. Has he completed the Ordeal?
Aaaaaaa, noooooo.
There are two possibilities: he needs to go back there to finish it (Lan Wangji is never going to agree to turn around) or Lan Wangji is part of the Ordeal.
He's just-- going to curl up small on the back seat while he can.
Lan Wangji opens the car door and unbuckles Wen Ning. "Can you walk?"
"I can walk," he says, shuffling out of the car to demonstrate. His hands still aren't great but his feet are fine.
"The cabin is three hours' walk away. I can carry you if you have trouble."
Well, that's certainly isolated. "-- if you are here to try and convince me to stop being a wizard, you may as well do it in the woods instead of a cabin." Get it over with.
"Uh, they did that because I am a wizard and they do not want me to be." He's just going to start walking, in the hope that this will not be a torture cabin.
"Magic is real?" Lan Wangji says in a flat tone of voice that gives absolutely no information about how surprised he is about this fact.
He is walking! While very confused about Lan Wangji's angle. "-- how did you even know I was kidnapped?"
