Wen Ning doesn't believe him. He hears the words, but they pass almost literally through one ear and out the other. He doesn't even believe that Lan Xichen would have any reason to lie to him, but that doesn't mean that the other man has all the right information.

He's even heard similar information from Wei Wuxian himself, but it doesn't matter. It's a whole different thing when he's actually laid eyes on the dead body of his friend with no sign of them getting up and moving again. The thought that he might simply reappear again, good as new, seems too impossible - no matter what else this place has already done.

Still unable to form proper words in his grief, Wen Ning rushes bodily at the older Lan sibling.
