We studied together when we were young, in the GusuLan Sect-- Wei Wuxian, myself, and his brother Jiang Cheng.
[you know, that asshole uncle of jin ling's.]
He'd sneak in alcohol when it was forbidden, and I'd share the- illustrations I snuck in, and Jiang-xiong would tell us we'd be in so much trouble if we were caught-- but he'd drink, too. [a slight laugh, there, a shake of his head.] Wei-xiong was truly brilliant, though. Always coming up with new cultivational theories... I admired him quite a bit, even if he did get into too much trouble. He was just- easy to go along with. Always smiling.
Yeah. He sounds great, actually, I think I'd like him. [ she reaches to pat nie huaisang's leg. ] It's kind of nice to have someone chaotic like that around, huh?
