On some level, Jiang Cheng recognizes this as a good thing that his nephew is challenging him again. It was only a few days ago the young man had been dying and delirious. However, he wasn't someone who could resist a fight either.

"Yes Jiujiu," Jin Ling mumbles. He doesn't trust Huaisang but clearly that conversation wasn't one his uncle was open to, at least not right now.

"Good. Now, if you're well enough to argue like this, you're well enough to get your ass out of that bed. When I get back, I expect you two to have at least taken a walk around the courtyard. If you're concerned, go at night when there aren't any eyes on you." He looks over at Zizhen again. "Is there anything else the two of you need before I go?"

Jingyi nods. "Just some nervous chatter. We haven't been on a night-hunt in a while, Wei-qianbei!" His tone is light and as he smoothly covers for the other juniors. He's been forced to learn some diplomacy going through so much turmoil in recent years with the group depending on him. He was glad Zizhen had been involved for a lot of it.

Once Wei Wuxian turns his head back, he looks over at Sizhui. "You okay?" He asks quietly.
