Clearly that was the wrong name. The look Mo Xuanyu gives him is nothing short of incredulous. Was it that hard to believe he might be a disciple of Lan? The laughter was totally uncalled for! He couldn't help bristling, despite knowing the name was a weak farce at best.
"H-hey! It's-! That's- What makes you so sure?!" he tries not to sound defensive, but it's difficult to keep a reign on his emotions while being made fun of right in front of his face.
It isn't until he mentions not just the Lan sect, but Lan Zhan in particular that his mouth forms a quiet 'o' of understanding. So Mo Xuanyu isn't just familiar with his face, he knows the Lans as well. And knows Lan Zhan close enough to use his name so casually! Any insinuation further than that goes easily out of his thoughts. Just who is this Mo Xuanyu anyway?! How does he know Lan Zhan so well? There was a slight pang in his chest that definitely wasn't jealousy.
"That's not- What part of me looks like it couldn't be part of the Lan Sect? And how do you know Lan Zhan?! Explain yourself!"
