Oh, I see. Is this not something that could've been remedied by wearing the mask you carry around? Or are you with people where it does not matter? (For what it may be worth, my face doesn't always help, either.)
As I said: drink more. Keep your mouth busy.
[which is probably the exact opposite of what he should be encouraging, but sizhui'd rather not walk into an argument or worse— an outright fight.]
So long as you are sure I'm not interrupting anything important. If it had been Jingyi and I or even just the two of us and Jin Ling, I would've done better.
Yes, of course. I'll try catching the rabbit myself next time rather than bother you. Again, I am sorry for your troubles and if you happen to change your mind, I still have salve that could help ease the discomfort.
[oh. well, now he's just confused. he thought he was being polite, apologizing and offering to help, but maybe he's only made things worse by ‘whimpering’ as it were. that, and perhaps his words have been seen as pushback? which he doesn't want; he would hate for jiang cheng to think he was disrespecting him.]
I'm[how many times can he apologize in one conversation?]I wasn't meaning to sound like I was whimpering.
[is that still arguing? oh god, somebody help this poor boy.]
[ Did they not teach these kids anything useful in the Gusu Lan? This wouldn't happen to his Yunmeng Jiang disciples, just saying... ]
I mean. Yes. You should be kind and caring to those who deserve your care. You should honor and love your family. But you still have to stand up for yourself.
Of course he will understand! Don't be ridiculous.
[ No, no, Hanguang-jun would not understand and break more than Jiang Cheng's legs in retaliation. But as long as the kid doesn't tattle there is no need to worry. ]
Yes, train with your sword while sitting, or just train to RUN when someone is trying to break your bones!
[ It's okay, Lan Sizhui. You got your Uncle Jiang to teach you common sense now. ]
I'm not being ridiculous, it's being realistic. You said he knows how you train juniors, so I would assume that means he knows you break their legs.
[and since he understands, that means sizhui won't have to tell him about it, right? right???]
But if my legs are already broken, how would that work? Are you saying you'd give me that chance?[because he'll take it. sizhui will take it and run like hell, thank you very much.
especially if breaking someone's legs is a way of teaching them common sense. what the actual fuck, uncle?]
Putting them underneath the nearby tree was a good idea, then! Jin Ling hasn't gotten sick anymore either, so that's terrific.
[oh no, he wasn't supposed to say that.]Ah, Hanguang-jun, please don't tell him I mentioned that?[or maybe he just didn't want the other juniors to know? if his friend is actually sick, sizhui would want someone more profecient than himself to help.]
Yes, he knows my training methods. And my style of leadership.
You're supposed to use your head. You run when someone is attacking you. You run BEFORE you become incapable of running. I'm teaching you, not torturing you. Don't be stupid.
Such unwavering ferocity, Jiang-zongzhu! No wonder Jin Ling is so strong-willed.
I know when to run and when not to run. Were it you attacking me, I'm uncertain I would run because... it's you? But if broken legs are a threat, then no, I wouldn't sit idly by and let you do such a thing.
[ The Lanling Jin clan's young master's feelings can be pushed aside for now. The more important part is that he does not suffer any ill effects of the alcohol he's drunk. ]
