"Sixth rule: Speak meagerly, for too many words only bring harm. Seventh rule: Accumulate virtue and merits. Eighth rule: Diligence is the root. Ninth rule: Morality is priority...."

"Isn't the scroll vErY sHoRt?"

"Very Short....?"

"Sarcasm Dude Catch Up!"

"ohhhh"

Jiang Cheng woke up the sleeping and about to snore Wei Wuxian sneakily, who glared back and frowned and in turn woke up the about-to-be-asleep Nei Huaisang throwing a paper ball-

Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu, Lan Qiren, And Nie Mingjue glared at now-identified CHAOTIC TRIO ,

Lan Wangji glared at Nei Huaisang and ducked his head and Wei Wuxian just grinned and gave a little wave

"This idiot!"

"God!!! I really need to see fast how just HOW in the world Hanguang-Jun didn't you know...Kill young Wei Wuxian because...all I can see is GLARE THAT CAN MELT"

"YEAH Wei Wuxian is really testing Lan Wangji's patience"

~PAT

"He is dead"

"SO DEAD"

Lan QiRen slammed the scroll onto the ground and smiled bitterly, "I am only repeating this one by one because nobody reads it, even though it was carved onto the rock wall. Hence, nobody will be able to violate them using ignorance as an excuse again. Even if I do this, there are still people who do not pay attention. Very well, I will proceed to talk about something else"

All the classmates glanced towards the "people" mentioned in the sentence

"It's coming..."

"it's coming.."

Lan QiRen spoke, "Wei Ying."

"THERE IT IS!!!"

Wei WuXian answered, "Here."

"Isn't he too cheerful for someone who is possibly going for a surprise test!"

"Tell me about it..."

"God!! I hate it when teachers do that...."

"Let me ask you. Are yao, demons, ghosts, and monsters the same things?"

"Aren't they....?"

Wei WuXian smiled, "No."

"Oh..."

"Well, I guess cultivator-y things..."

"That isn't even a word idiot!"

"Why not? How are they differentiated?"

"Yao is formed from living, non-human beings; demons are formed from living humans; ghosts are formed from dead humans; monsters are formed from dead, non-human beings."

"Wow...there's a whole lot about DEADs"

"'Yao' and 'monsters' are often confused. What is an example that distinguishes the two?"

"That's easy." Wei WuXian pointed at the viridian tree outside of the room and replied, "For example, a living tree was tainted with the energy of books, cultivated into a conscious being, and causes mischief, it would be a 'yao'. If I took an axe and cut it in the middle, so that only a dead tree stump was left, and then it cultivates into a being, it would be a 'monster.'"
