Huaisang toys with his fan and pouts when the situation is explained. "Really, Wei-xiong, it's almost my birthday, this is what you arrive with as a gift? And where's the rest of him?"
The situation isn't anything Huaisang wants, but he can deal with it. He tells his guards to take Xue Yang deep into the dungeons, to a cell fit for holding especially powerful fierce corpses, until he can be moved to a permanent location. When he has a chance later, he sends some of his more capable and skilled cultivators who are good at handling affairs quietly to go track down the arm and bring it back. He knows what the arm of a fierce corpse can do if left unattended, and that piece is important for what Huaisang has in mind.
Days pass while Huaisang entertains his friend, enjoying the time spent with Wei Wuxian and the festivities of his birthday. Only once his guests are gone does Huaisang finally descend into the dungeons to where his new responsibility has been put. It's quiet in the cell, but Huaisang still keeps a safe distance away from the bars. "Xue Yang?"
