Jiang Cheng

Three months ago, Jiang Cheng left Lotus Pier. It was announced that he was going into secluded meditation, but he simply packed up and left. After the truth about his golden core was revealed (that Wei Wuxian gave him his core), the Sect Leader's health deteriorated.

He has been walking through a hard-to-reach forest for three days now and comes across a small house. There is a small vegetable garden and a garden around the house. Smoke is coming out of the house's chimney. The wind brings the smell of hot food to the man. There is a well in the yard in front of the house. The man decides to ask the owners for water.
