Jin Ling is wondering just how to fight them if he has to make a break for it. Could he stab Wuxian one more time just a little and get away with it..

There's the briefest crackling of electricity in the air as his uncle's rage peaks, Zidian always coming alive even if Wanyin never intends to use it. At that exact moment, Wuxian is cutting in and diverting attention.

It takes Ling a moment to realize what's being asked and how he's just screwed up even further. Yuan is never going to trust him again for being such an idiot! He would've taken the secret of Yuan's clan to his grave, but there is something in his uncle's eyes that has him answering before he can stop himself. "Wen," he answers, turning and taking Yuan's hand. "Please, Jiujiu.. Uncle Wuxian.. he's so much more than that."
