Jiang Wanyin is torn. He wants to hurt Lan Wangji -- does he ever want to hurt Lan Wangji. He wants to smear his smarmy little face through the streets until his outsides look as bitchy and dumb as his insides.

Realistically, it's not the smartest political play. Sure, Gusu Lan is no longer as strongly positioned as it was before their sect leader went into seclusion, but Jiang Wanyin is a sect leader, and Lan Wangji is merely a second son.

The thing that's pissing Jiang Wanyin off more than anything else is the way Lan Wangji is clearly shielding Wei Wuxian from him. Sure, Jiang Wanyin has whipped Wei Wuxian. Sure, he hunted him for years. Sure, he's never going to forgive him for every stupid fucking choice he's made, starting with his fucking behavior in their childhood, continuing on to his fucking bullshit martyr complex and subsequent rejection of Jiang Wanyin the Yunmeng Jiang sect, and culminating in his stupid cut-sleeve cultivation partnership with the biggest drip in the world after years of his personal responsibility in leaving Jiang Wanyin without any family in the stupid shitty world (besides Jin Ling, who Jiang Wanyin loves regards more than anything left in aforementioned stupid shitty world). But he's not going to hurt the asshole! That would be descending to his level. And maybe Jiang Wanyin could tell that motherfucker that he's not going to descend to his level, if his stupid little yappy lapdog of a partner would go the fuck away for half a moment!

Jiang Wanyin focuses all of his anger and confusion and aims Zidian's next attack directly at Lan Wangji.
