[His downfall was his pride, but for the chance to save Jiang Yanli, there is nothing he wouldn't do. What is kowtowing to Zewu-jun in comparison to that?
Only when he speaks does Wei Wuxian lifts his eyes, sitting back on his heels and staring up at him. There are words at the tip of his tongue about how Zewu-Jun might not be the one who brought him here, but he would be within his rights to cut him down. If Zewu-Jun had deemed him worthy only of a quick execution, he doesn't think he would have had the willpower to protest it. (He certainly wouldn't have the right.) But his words are answer enough to the question of his continued existence, and so the rest of the details don't really matter.
The rest of Zewu-Jun's words however have his brow furrowing lightly.]
That seems a fitting sentence for me, but unfair to someone as honorable and righteous as the first Jade of Lan. [To his credit, there isn't a trace of bitterness in his words. There is anger in him still, deep and boiling on behalf of the Wen remnant, but there is no one person to blame. For now, that anger is buried too deeply to reach anyway.]
