[ He can hear muffled pounding coming from the other side of the door, which doesn't necessarily answer his question as to whether or not Wei Wuxian can hear him, but he's going to assume it means that he's trying to let him know he's still there.
Lan Xichen steps back to take a look at this door, noting with dismay that it seems much stronger, and the lock more complex, than the one they had just come through.
It doesn't dissuade him from trying to break it open for a moment, however, and it's with no hesitation that he angles himself appropriately and slams his shoulder into the door. And then pulls back and does it again, and again, but though the door creaks and shakes under the force of his blows, it remains stubbornly closed.
By now he can hear on the pounding on the other side has increased, and he can only assume that it means that something's happened to increase Wei Wuxian's urgency in getting out.
Anger boils back up, unexpected - anger at himself, for the moment. He's meant to be making it clear to Wei Wuxian that he supports him, that he will continue to support him - he will never forgive himself if he is unable to get him out quickly, if he only adds to the pain Wei Wuxian gone through.
If he costs Wangji his second chance.
He steps back to kick the door instead, chanelling the force of his anger into it, and on the second kick he manages to dent the panel of the lock just the smallest bit, revealing a peak into its inner workings. Lan Xichen shifts gears, focusing on it instead as he tries to shout through the door again. ]
