Huaisang lets Jiang Cheng manoeuvre him where he wants him, settling in comfortably to kiss him as he enjoys the feel of a warm hand running on his bare thigh.
He laughs lightly at the comment.
"I'm very glad to hear he's doing better, my love," he says sincerely "don't worry, I will try and stay on his good side and my spies will keep him - and me - safe."
It's strange to actually admit out loud that he has spies, but he doesn't want to lie to Jiang Cheng, he wants to trust the other man with everything he is.
(He does not, however, point out that dealing with grumpy sect leaders is basically his speciality at this point, between Cheng and Mingjue)
Outside, Zizhen's eyes widen at the mention of spies, but so far he hasn't heard anything very incriminating, so he keeps listening.

Yuan remains beside his fathers for a little while, though he does want to walk with Jingyi and the others, he's just taking the time to appreciate his family and how much faith they have in him, just for a little while longer - then he'll drop back to be with the others. He notices when Jingyi approaches, but since he seems to want to talk to Wei Wuxian, he doesn't pry, and he tries not to listen in.
"Hmm? Sworn brothers?" Wuxian repeats, turning to look at the disciple "Well, really it's not very complicated, you swear an oath to one another in a ceremony, and then you do whatever you promise to do as part of the oath, so it's a little different for everyone. Why?"
