He'd wanted privacy for this meeting, so he'd just told Wei Wuxian where he'd be and a time before they'd parted after the hunt and he was waiting there the next morning. It was close enough to town they wouldn't be interrupted by monsters but open enough it'd be easy to spot anyone approaching.
And maybe he was a little paranoid but this place was odd and he didn't want people who had no bearing on anything involved in his private business and considering how many questions he had, it was going to need that space.
Locked to Wei Wuxian (and Lan Wangji eventually)
