Hanguang-Jun, Wei Ying and the juniors are on their way back home from a night hunt when they decide to stop in a nearby town at a festival. They're quite easy to spot, it's impossible not to notice them, they stand out in the best of ways - unfortunately not everybody agrees.
"That shameless man! I'd never leave my house if I did the kind of horrible things he did!" A man proclaimed, quite loudly, side-eyeing Wei Ying. "What a joke! In my prime, if anyone saw the Yiling Laozu up and about, they'd be required by law to kill him! Now the Lan sect is backing him up! How preposterous!"
Lan Jingyi sends the man a nasty glare and is on the point of opening his mouth, but Hanguang-Jun interrupts him before he is able. His voice is cold, threatening almost, loud enough to be within the man's earshot.
"Lan Jingyi. Do not waste your time correcting small-minded people. Their intellect is limited and their judgement is... flawed, at best, absent at worst."
The man immediately turns his head, eyes wide. Wei Ying busies himself with browsing through the merchandise on a stall so he doesn't burst out laughing.
"Hanguang-Jun is right." Sizhui adds, his voice as icy as his senior's. "We are cultivators of a prestigious clan, listening in to such shameless, baseless talk is beneath us, let alone enganging in any such lowly conversation."
The man scurries away, red in the face, and it's only then that Wei Ying allows himself a laugh. "My, my, I have quite the protection squad! Though I am surprised to see you have such a sharp tongue, Sizhui."
"Swearing is not allowed, so I had to learn to express my disdain otherwise, Wei-qianbei." Sizhui smiles, cute and serene as if he hadn't just torn into a man three seconds ago.
"Yeah, we learned from Hanguang-Jun!" Jingyi intervenes, 'When we went to our first Discussion Conference, the way he told sect leader Jiang off was so-"
"...apologies, Hanguang-Jun."
"Wait, you told Jiang Cheng off?! In a discussion conference?!"
"In front of God and everyone?!"
Wei Ying sighs, theatrical. "Man, why did I have to die? I wish I was there to see it!"
Both Lan Jingyi and Wei Ying gasped, excited. "Really?!"
