"No one will turn away Hanguang-jun's honored guest," Lan Wangji assures him. This is true; he is still the younger brother of the sect leader and the nephew of its most renowned teacher. It also serves to very lightly tease Claudius in return.
It's an indulgent thought, his friend coming to visit him. If Lan Xichen could be coaxed out of seclusion, Lan Wangji imagines that Claudius would find some entertainment in meeting a man nearly identical to himself but so much more expressive and outwardly warm. The juniors would love him, particularly Jingyi. Jingyi's hero-worship of Lan Wangji himself might be the only method by which to salvage such a partnership from worrying levels of camaraderie. No doubt Claudius would struggle to follow all four thousand rules, but that is what the designation of Hanguang-jun's honored guest is for.
A little more soberly, he says, "I would like to show it to you."
