yes!    haha,   i  heard  the  sect  leader  kicked  someone  out  for  bragging  about  cheating.   (!!)     yes  jiujiu,   i  understand.    

@qingcynths 
            
            he  does  now,  does  he  ?  must  be  a  brave  one,  you  follow  his  example,  right  ?  show  jiujiu  how  big  and  strong  you’ve  gotten  !

yes,   yes  jiujiu.    i  understand,    im  going  to  be  with  some  jin  disciples  too.   would  you  believe  it,   that  the  new  jin  sect  leader  always  goes  on  nighthunts  with  the  disciples?   

@qingcynths 
            
            aw,  see  ?  jiujiu  knows  lil  guo  best  !  i’ll  whip  it  up  in  no  time,  you  let  jiujiu  do  the  magic.

pork  dumplings,   jiujiu!    a-guo  wants  pork  dumplings!!

@qingcynths 
            
            aren’t  you  hungry  ?  fine,  fine—  what  does  a-guo  want  to  make  then  ?  jiujiu  will  use  his  special  powers  to  make  it.

twin  broth  hotpot...   hm.    okay.

@nieqiongs 
            
            mm..  twin  broth  hotpot.  

i  will  if  he  tells  me  what  he  wants  me  to  make  him.

probably  for  the  best.    im  going  to  make  white  jasmine  tea,    a-guo  was  quite  adamant  about  getting  it.   he  likes  the  stuff.

@nieqiongs 
            
            let’s  just..  drop  it.  thinking  about  all  this  is  giving  me  a  headache.  

i  understand  your  anger,    han  zhen.   truly,   i  do.   but  it  won't  change  anything—  it  won't  undo  what  horrors  your  nephew  has  been  subjected  to.     

scoundrel!!    hmph...    don't  you  dare!

@nieqiongs 
            
            not  the  corner  !  i  think  i’ll  rebel,  qian-ge  looks  like  he  needs  something  !

don't  even  think  about  it!   corner.

@qingcynths 
            
            if  they  didn’t  follow  him,  then  fine.  ..  it’ll  be  alright,  kid.  mama’s  gone  to  a  peaceful  place..  jiujiu’s  gonna  keep  you  company.

xing–gege  and  qing–jiejie  weren't  bad  wens.   ..   sniff.    (..)     jiujiu,   mama...    mama  is  gone.  

@qingcynths 
            
            bad  wens,  not  you.  just—  wen  ruohan,  and  the  cowards  that  follow  him.  mhm,  we’re  back.  you  need  to  sleep  this  off.

given  name  han  zhen.  courtesy  name  han  jiahao.

at  the  time,  his  dearest  sister  had  married  off  into  the  wens  in  an  attempt  to  protect  herself  from  the  growing  tensions  between  clans,  but  when  the  war  came,  han  zhen  heard  no  word  from  her.  at  all.  growing  antsy  by  the  day,  he  set  off  with  the  clans  to  the  first  siege  in  hopes  of  finding  her.  not  her  body.

a  high  ranking  official  in  the  qinghe  nie  sect,  previously  the  late  sect  leaders  right  hand  man.  loyal  til  the  end  of  their  parting,  han  zhen  vowed  to  enact  the  same  principles  he  went  by  with  nie  mingjue,   for  nie  huaisang.  he  lives  with  his  partner  and  nephew  together,  as  the  little  family  he  has  remaining.

@nieqiongs 
            
            at  least  i  have  a  nephew  who  takes  my  name,  you  and  jiejie  don’t  want  ties  to  me  !  it’s  fine,  i’ll  live  with  my  sorrows.

hmph.   im  quite  grateful  to  have  our  sects  surname.   (..)    jiejie  is  too  independent  to  take  a  man's  name,   baobei.   maybe  if  you  hyphenated  your  name  and  put  hers  first.   

@nieqiongs 
            
            if  i  had  it  my  way,  all  my  family  would  go  by  the  name  han!  even  you  and  jiejie.
