Your attitude is so much like Jiang Cheng.
[Comment made, he has another sip of tea.]
Xichen will be within my care too. And I will ensure I have his brother's blessing for that.
[ Jin Ling lowers the cup without drinking from it. ]
What about it? Jiujiu is an accomplished Sect Leader and a powerful Cultivator.
[ He gives Nie Mingjue an assessing glance, checking for any scorn or judgment. Jin Ling would openly criticize Jiang Cheng right to his face - as long as he had a quick escape route - but he wasn't going to give anyone else the space to do it. ]
Hanguang-jun is strict.
[ He seems about to elaborate on that, only to drink his tea instead. ]
I did not mention if that was a negative aspect. I have told him in the past I enjoy that side of him. You should not be so quick to assume the worst.
[Mingjue lifts a brow at him to let Jin Ling know that he maybe needs to chill a bit. But also that he's approving of him rushing to defend his uncle so readily. That's a good trait. He should keep that.]

Wangji is a Lan. Though why do you say so?
[Enlighten him.]
