"I promise!" Zizhen says immediately - Jin Ling is his friend, he does actually want to help him. Even if he does intend to get to the bottom of whatever danger he's in. And whatever 'complicated' means.
Right now, though, he feels as though Jin Ling has given them enough and he deserves the reward of some more light hearted teasing, so he giggles dutifully when Jingyi starts in on how smitten he was, and Jin Ling of course absolutely confirms it by tackling him, which has Zizhen breaking out into full on laughter.

Yuan nods, trying not to be terrified by that statement - has Lan Wangji seen through him that easily? How is he ever supposed to do this for Jin Ling if he can't fool a single person? Still, at least he's being allowed to pass, so he goes...
And nearly trips over when the chief cultivator speaks again. Second practice? Is he offering... no, outright saying that he's going to teach him? It's intimidating as hell and a terrible idea but it's also a literal dream come true from the chief cultivator himself and there's no way he's turning it down.
"Yes, Hanguang Jun." He agrees with a bow before he leaves.
He only really makes it as far as round a corner or two before he's leaning against the nearest wall with his eyes closed and sighing loudly. He doesn't know how to feel, but whatever he's feeling, it's a lot.
