Wanyin snorts a laugh, sliding a hand along his lover's back affectionately. "You would think that wouldn't you?" He teases. Despite his words though, he is taking the words his partner said seriously. When had his nephew so savvy? "Your spies haven't found any that were already working for him have you?"
They have. He already had a small network started, but at least quarter of those part of it had been on that initial list of people to take out. If he'd continued several more years though, he probably would've figured it out on his own or gotten assassinated.. one of the two.
He kisses Huaisang's shoulder and hugs him closer for a moment before letting them focus on the food.

This was why he loved Zizhen. His friend was just awesome. Of all responses he could've asked for, not making a big deal about Jin Ling randomly being on the floor or not feeling like they had to panic and get him back on the bed had to be the very best. His shoulders slump a bit with relief.
He starts to laugh at the confession and shakes his head. "See? I told you he wouldn't though, right? He's so predictable." He snickers with a fond expression on his face. "He's like Fairy. He can get all snarly and scary, but he'd never actually hurt you. Are you okay? You didn't piss yourself or anything did you? I seriously wouldn't judge you if you did. I know he can be scary as hell when he's like that!"

"The bad ones, yeah," Jingyi mutters. "It really depends. Sometimes they don't want to talk to us at all and other times they want to have a full town meeting first. It really depends on how controlling the clans involved are. Sometimes that means they're covering something up but often it means they just think they're being helpful. This.. they're being a little weird."
Abruptly they all hear from the distance several monstrous roars and some kind of scramble. It doesn't sound like a tiger at all nor does it sound like any creature they've ever heard before. The exact location isn't even all that clear. How the sound permeates through the whole village too is bizarre.. assuming you aren't currently panicking from the noise of the monsters and can pay attention to such things.
Jingyi reaches for his sword but looks to Wei Wuxian for orders. He can tell something was off about that, but he's not sure what. Several of the younger juniors are visibly shaken but they're trying to be strong.
