[ Prove it, he says, and Wei Wuxian lets out a very put upon sigh because god, this is just like him to ask Wei Wuxian to prove it, isn't it? Everyone thinks he can do such crazy feats of magic and he is!! Just!! Some guy!! But fine, he knows well enough to know there's one thing he can do to probably prove it. He just hopes it's enough for Xue Yang to believe him.
So, he whistles. It's a low, steady melody, simple even, and after he's done it seems like nothing might happen. But eventually, there's a few gasps from the people around them, a flickering lightbulb above them, and the dark wisp of a ghost that envelops them. The features of it aren't distinct, but the ghostly hands that extend from the black wisp reach out for Wei Wuxian and pull him back sharply from Xue Yang's grip, forcing the other man to let him go in the process.
The ghost picks up Wei Wuxian gently then and sets him back on his seat, easy as it pleases. It lingers for a moment, a faint ghostly giggle that sounds so faraway and Wei Wuxian doesn't seem to be surprised by any of this. ]
Thank you, you can go now.
[ And then more laughter before the dark wisp disappears, leaving them back in the brightly lit gambling hall once again. The light above them stops flickering.
Wei Wuxian takes a moment to straighten his clothes and then looks at Xue Yang. ]
