Jin Ling looks at his jiujiu, to the sunken eyes and lithe body now turn into a bag of bones. He looks to this man who's disappearing little by little and asks:
"Will you ever forgive him?"
Jiang Cheng looks at Jin Ling, no sign of confusion at the words:
"Should I?"
Despite knowing it's a dangerous reply, Jin Ling can't stop the words, "Wouldn't forgiveness be my mother's choice?"
Jiang Cheng laughs and the sound is bitter.
"I know that I raised you, but believe me when I say I don't look a thing like your mother, brat. So I ask again, should I?"
#jiangcheng centered: all Yunmeng Jiang disciples love JC, we know it
Now imagine that every three months, the SIC changes.
Everyone thinks it's because of JC's hard demeanor
The truth? Every three months there is a competition to decide who'll have the honor to be the SIC
The littol ones cannot participate until they're older than fifteen.
The competition has six tasks: four of them established by JC, tapping into things such as fighting skills and management.
The last two are up to the disciples and they're the ones evaluate them too.
The tasks are usually related to Jiang Cheng:
- best portrait of sect leader
- how to seduce sect leader using only your eyes
- cooking sect leader favorite dishes
- rate sect leader looks
- defending sect leader best feature
Lan Wangji knows he made a mistake. But those words had hurt. He thought that at least Jiang Cheng saw him as something more besides the second son, the spare heir.
The one with some of the privileges, but not the responsibilities.
