Yunmeng was abundant in lakes. The YunmengJiang Sect’s “Lotus Pier”, the residence of the greatest sect here, was built near a lake as well.
"And now, where were we?" asked Wen Rouhan.
"No more dating?" asked Wei Wuxian.
"Much better." said Jiang Cheng.
Starting from the end of Lotus Pier, after just a while of paddling, one would see a large lotus lake, more than a hundred miles in length. The wide, verdant leaves and the smooth, pink blossoms brushed shoulders against one another. As a breeze blew over, the petals and the leaves swayed as if they nodded their heads. Amid the purity and grace, one could also feel a naive sense of clumsiness.
Lotus Pier wasn’t as other-worldly as the other sects’ residences, shutting their doors and refusing to let commoners come within a boundary miles away. The docks right in front of Lotus Pier’s entrance often bustled with vendors selling seed pods, water chestnuts and all kinds of pastries. Runnynosed children from households nearby could also sneak into Lotus Pier’s fields to watch the cultivators practice their swords. They wouldn’t be scolded even if they got caught, either. They could sometimes even play around with the Jiang Sect’s disciples.
"Look at how free the place is." said a random cultivator.
"This is why Wei-daijiu said that a-niang used to play with kids." said Jingyi.
"Yeah, it's was fun training with kids and sometimes teach them." said Wei Wuxian.
"That's why we can the Jiang Sect as a free sect. Freedom is very important to them." said a random cultivator.
"That's the reason why no rules can bound the twin prides?" asked MianMian.
"How can you bind them to some rules when they grew up freely?" asked Qingheng-jun.
"That's why they can do whatever they want." he added.
When Wei WuXian was young, he often shot kites at the bank of Lotus Lake.
"My most favorite game." said Wei Wuxian.
"That's because you're always on top." said Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng stared fixedly at his own kite, glancing at Wei WuXian’s once in a while. Wei WuXian’s kite had already flown high up in the sky, but he still had no intention of drawing his bow. With his right hand at his brows, he grinned as he looked up, as though he still felt that it wasn’t far enough.
Seeing that the kite had almost drifted out of the area where he was certain he’d succeed in shooting it down, Jiang Cheng clenched his teeth. He positioned his arrow and drew the bow. The white-feathered arrow shot out. The kite painted like a one-eyed monster was pierced right through the eye and fell downward. Jiang Cheng’s brows lifted, “It hit!”
"I can't even do that." said a younger disciple.
"That seemed fun." said Nie Huaisang.
"You can join us next time, Nie-xiong." said Wei Wuxian.
"But, I'm just gonna watch." said Nie Huaisang.
"Boring." said Jiang Cheng.
Right after, he asked, “Yours has flown so far already. You sure you can hit it?”
Wei WuXian, “Wanna guess?”
He finally pulled out an arrow and aimed. As the bow was drawn to the utmost, he swiftly let go.
A hit!
"Damn what?" a random cultivator asked in disbelief.
"No wonder he's a skilled one." said another cultivator.
