As anticipated, Lan Wangji ignores Magnus, which might be for the best. Magnus might not have enjoyed his quelling expression at the use of profanity around his teacher, who is, so far as Lan Wangji can tell, a perfectly competent one.

Since they are sparring, and Lan Wangji is not attempting to defeat Lancelot in any meaningful way, he gives him the space to recover. Once he can see that he has his feet back under him, though, he descends on him anew, this time in a whirl of robes from the outset, Bichen's swing bringing it from low, near the ground, up toward Lancelot through the air.
