"You're idiotic!" Wen Chao snapped back, it was a mad burn. Obviously. He raised his whip and lashed it at Jin Zixuan but before it could hit the prissy young lord, it was caught by a very fed up Lan Zhan. It hurt, of course it did, but Lan Zhan held it for a few moments and looked at Wen Chao's stunned face. Then he yanked the whip, making Wen Chao stumble.

"Hey!" Wen Chao managed to get his whip back, staggering away with a mix of fear and confusion. What the fuck? "What's your problem?"

Lan Zhan, hand now dripping with blood, came over to where Wei Wuxian was and stood in front of him. "Enough."

"No, you can't tell me what to do!" Wen Chao was losing control, he knew that. His guards probably saw. Probably knew. They would tell his father and brother. He gulped and pointed the whip at Lan Zhan. "Back down or you'll all be punished!"
