One day during a night hunt shared between Gusu and Yunmeng, Wei Wuxian observes Sect Leader Jiang fall from his sword in a dive after one of the young disciples, catch the boy, on the way down score two branches to the shoulder and stop the fall via wrapping Zidian around one of them. They land unharmed and the disciple meekly accepts the threats of leg-breaking as he's patted down by Jiang-zongzhu.

Wei Wuxian almost passed on the spot, but he's trying to act tough and unimpressed, so he's all "Heh, nice save, hehe."

And a Jiang disciple from the side goes "Oh that's nothing. Not even close to back when young master Jin was learning to fly."

Another disciple "And that's nothing compared to when he was learning to swim!"

Another "Or walk."

Another "Or the swing."

"Gods, don't even mention the fucking swing!"

And Wei Wuxian ends up surrounded by Jiang disciples who do an equivalent of pulling out their wallets to show him the photos xD

Ok, but listen.

Jiang Cheng, in nothing but his inner robes, gunning it barefoot down the walkaways of Lotus Pier, because his beloved nephew (age four) decided to escape his bed and climb into an unsecured boat that is now being pushed by wind into the lake, much to Jin Ling's wailing dismay.

JC didn't even think to use Sandu, just launched himself full-tilt from the end of the pier with sheer physical brass of knowing he can eat that twenty metres...

A few minutes later, he was rowing the boat back with one arm, the other full of a wailing nephew, adrenaline finally settling down.
