Forget Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang, Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen, whoever.
The real hero of The Untamed is this random Lan disciple
Sixteen years ago, this disciple was present for the Salute ceremony at Cloud Recesses, responsible for reading the Lan Rules to the gathered students and announcing each Sect for their salute. He even had a front row seat to Wei Wuxian’s slap-fight with Wen Chao.
(Just out of frame is Lan Qiren stroking his beard)
This disciple is tasked with accompanying Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji on the search for Wei Wuxian
He even has a front-row seat to Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji’s conversations during this search
Sixteen years later, this disciple accompanies the Lan juniors to the Mo Manor, where he assists with the capture of the spirit sword
(Having a giggle with Lan Jingyi over Mo antics)
Is this disciple a senior disciple escorting the juniors? Is he a junior disciple who has been a junior for sixteen years? Did he get demoted at some point from announcer to babysitter? Who knows? Who cares? Because this disciple knows what Wei Wuxian looks like from his time at Cloud Recesses. And he sees Wei Wuxian without his mask at Mo Manor during the nighttime scenes.
(There he is, hanging out with the returned grandmaster of demonic cultivation)
And yet he never tells a soul that Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Laozu, has returned and is pretending to be Mo Xuanyu.
This disciple is right there when Jiang Cheng whips Wei Wuxian with Zidian, keeping his mouth shut. The one man who saw Wei Wuxian pre-time skip, has recently seen Wei Wuxian without the mask on, and has the ability to confirm that Wei Wuxian has returned. Doesn’t say a word.
And he can’t even pretend that he doesn’t know, because here they are hanging out in the same frame pre-time skip, practically making eye contact
This man is the first person to know that Wei Wuxian has returned and he keeps his mouth shut. What a legend
