Lan Wangji would object to the framing of this story, but he has more important things on his mind. Namely, drawing up to the nearest mansion entrance, leaping back to the ground with both of them in tow, and kicking open the door as a result of his reluctance to let either Magnus or Wei Ying out of his grasp. Bichen slides home again, and Lan Wangji carries them both inside. Only then, ostensibly safe and with the door swung shut behind them, does he release them.
