[Good. Wei Wuxian's little stunt managed to confuse their ranks just a little bit, even if the lead cultivator looks like he's mad enough to stab him and accustomed to using threats of force to get his way. That one he'll need to tread a little more cautiously with.

And then the lead cultivator just accuses him of something downright ludicrous. Really? The maiden thing? Again?

Wei Wuxian manages to keep his tone from sounding too hostile or contemptuous but he sure does sound exasperated.]

What maidens? I'm a happily married man. I have no need or desire to take your maidens or anyone else's. Now if you'd like some assistance finding them, I can speak with my cultivation partner about looking into it.

[As annoyed as Wei Wuxian is if there are, in fact, missing maidens who may be in trouble and in need of help, he can't turn a blind eye to it. He looks toward the Very Tired Cultivator who seems to actually have some sembance of basic sense.]

Hey, you over there. What can you tell me about the missing women? How many are there? From where and when did they disappear?
