Zizhen is clearly a genius! Of all topics to pick, he lands on one that instantly gets Ling's attention. His eyes widen a bit and he reaches over to the side table to pick up his bowl of snacks. He puts the bowl between them like he often does in case he can get Zizhen to eat with him. He used to insist on it, but this time he doesn't bother before he's popping a couple nuts in his mouth.
"Yeah! He really blew up didn't he?" He smirks. "Guess we confirmed that rumor to be real. Wonder what he's doing back at Lotus Pier. Why wouldn't he take his boy toy with him?" It creeps him out that Huaisang is supposedly here for him. What was the man plotting? It had to be something bad. He'd find out though and then Huaisang would be sorry he messed with Jiang Cheng or his nephew!
"Think Liling is awake? I want another one of those sweet rolls."

"It's okay. You've had a lot on your mind," Jingyi reassures him. "And this isn't going to happen tomorrow! Even if something did happen to Zewu Jun, it'd pass to Hanguang Jun, then it'd pass to you. So they may have not wanted to overwhelm you. Plus.. it isn't for certain. Zewu Jun isn't an old man. He has many years still to take a spouse and have children."
He's not completely sure which direction Sizhui wants this to go in, whether he wants to be the heir or not, but he figures he should at least give him both sides. He should be prepared, but also be realistic.
"Although I'm not sure who he would date if you were just going by the cultivation leaders who are still alive and available. It's not like you'd expect Zewu Jun to go hook up with Uncle Jiang or something!" He laughs.
Hanguang Jun has been ignoring the prattle behind him like he always did until he hears his brother's name mixed with that. He looks behind him sharply and narrows his eyes at Jingyi.
Jingyi flushes and immediately goes silent.
Lan Zhan's gaze turns to Sizhui and he gestures for the boy to move next to him. "Are you alright?" He asks quietly once he's there and there's a bit of a distance between them and the rest of the juniors.
