NIE-XIONG!

Look! It's my son! Look how big he is! He's beautiful, isn't he?

[fanoperator]

[There's a lot to unpack here.]

Isn't that the polite Lan boy?

[chaosflute]

Yes! Lan Yuan, courtesy Sizhui. Lan Zhan raised him after I died.

He and Zewu-jun both say he's a perfect young man. Even Jiang Cheng thinks well of him.

[fanoperator]

He is polite, intelligent, and observant.

I wasn't aware he was yours.

now in the right place, geeez apa

[chaosflute]

You know, when Lan Zhan first met him, I told him I had given birth to him.

I think he almost believed me!

His parents died before I met him. But he's definitely mine.

[fanoperator]

I understand now. I'm very glad for you!

[chaosflute]

Thanks!

So you've met him?

[fanoperator]

I have. We have never conversed, but I am aware of him. He is the first disciple of the Lan Sect after all, is he not?

[chaosflute]

Lan Zhan didn't say that! :O

But he Zewu-jun's heir, so that would make sense. Life's a funny thing.

And now I finally get why Nie-xiong is now so much older than me.

[fanoperator]

Ah! Wei-xiong! How cruel!! Are you saying I look old?

[chaosflute]

I said no such thing.

Nie-xiong's vast wisdom and maturity gave it away.

[fanoperator]

It's true my wisdom and maturity have improved greatly. [Action 'flattery' is a success! +1 to Huaisang's mood.]

[chaosflute]

See? I would have known even if that finder thing hadn't said how old you are.

Should I be calling you Nie-ge, now?

[fanoperator]

I think you'd better call me Nie-zhangbei, XianXian. Respect your elders.

[chaosflute]

That's so stuffy! We'll just have to agree that zhangbei and xianxian are off limits.

Since you don't look any older, no one will ever have to know.

[fanoperator]

[He knows what you're doing, Xianxian.] I suppose that's a fair deal.
