[ Matoba's assessment isn't wrong, even with Wei Wuxian's trepidation, he's not ... not going to tell him things. He just knows that there are certain things that even in his world, he should keep to himself. Infamy is fine there, but he doesn't want his reputation to follow him here.
Still, Matoba's answer is interesting, has Wei Wuxian curious despite himself. Our clans, he says. Exorcist he says next and that's something he's familiar with. A practice that deals with the dead, but not in the way he does. More they drive out the malicious ghosts than use them for their own purposes.
... Interesting. This man might be incredibly useful to him, he realizes.
The question comes, what kind of place this is and Wei Wuxian is tempted to make a coy remark about how it's a degenerate's fantasy but. He doesn't think that's what Matoba is asking. He eats his bacon, he looks back at him for a long moment before he lifts a hand to push some hair out of his face and answers simply — ]
It's haunted. The supernatural controls this place, the dead make their living here, the yin energy is immense and suffocating. It plays on the idea of just being focused on sex and that's it but even I can tell, in a few days time, there has to be more to it than that. The dead don't hang around for no reason, not in a place like this. Something's keeping them here.
