Lan Zhan gives Yuan a small encouraging smile and a quiet nod back.
"How's Jingyi? What's going on out there?" Jin Ling asks, hating how silent this man always was. Didn't he understand they were worried? Yes, he was very afraid of him, but.. still. Jingyi.
The smile on Lan Zhan's face fades. "He's sleeping. I don't know when he'll wake." There's an edge to his tone to indicate it isn't as simple as what time but almost an if. "The guests are waiting for Sandu Shengshou to make an announcement. He's speaking now with the Ouyang sect leader and Ouyang Anju's father."
"Why? What's this got to do with any of that?" Jin Ling prods, realizing the first set of answers was a rare gift.
Lan Zhan simply looks away without answering the rest.
