The room was silent as Shen Yuan sat infront of all 12 peak lords of the Cang Qiong Sect. Shen Yuan shifted awkwardly, fiddling with the hem of his sleeves as he tried to avoid the gaze of Shen Qingqiu. Shang Qinghua looked at him sheepishly before shrinking down at the glare that Shen Qingqiu sent his way.
Mini Yuan and Lil' Qingge were having a blast playing around though. Liu Qingge didn't seemed to bothered with the playful antics of the two. In fact, he seemed more bothered by the fact that he had to stop his hunting early to attend this sudden peak lord meeting than anything else. He came in dragging the corpse of a monster behind him--the one he'd been chasing earlier--fresh blood still splattered on his clothes.
Shen Qingqiu sneered at Liu Qingge and snapped out jab at the man's attire. Liu Qingge looked like he was going to start a fight, furrowing his brows and glaring at Shen Qingqiu. By some miracle, rather than starting yet another fight he instead settled down and sat back into a seat with a huff, turning his attention to his mini instead. Shen Qingqiu's gaze lingered for a moment before he turned his venomous gaze back towards Shang Qinghua as the man got his papers in order.
Shang Qinghua cleared his throat as he gathered his papers and began to present his reasoning for suggesting Shen Yuan as a potential sitter hire. Before he could begin though, Mini-Yuan took it upon himself to fish another talisman out of his sleeve and hand it to mini Qingge.
Shen Yuan flinched at the sight and reached out to try and intercept the talisman passing, but Lil' Qingge was faster. He snatched the talisman up and glanced around, beady little eyes focusing on the corpse that Liu Qingge had dragged in.
Shen Yuan barely breathed out a "No-!" before the talisman was slapped on the body. Like before, nothing happened. The peak lords--all of which had weapons drawn and were on high alert--stared at the "dud" talisman and then let their gaze flicker back to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan drew a barrier talisman out of his sleeve with one hand and scooped mini Yuan and mini Qingge up with the other. In an instant he slammed the talisman down on the table and covered the minis with his hand.
Everyone stared at him, nothing had happened. Nothing was happening. Even Shang Qinghua briefly wondered if Shen Yuan had hit his head against something on the way here. Shen Qingqiu lowered Xiu Ya and opened his mouth to speak when a deafening boom rang out.
The ground shook slightly from the force of the explosion. The aftermath of the explosion left half of the meeting room destroyed, monster guts blasted all over the place--some dripping down on people from the ceiling. Shang Qinghua's jaw dropped and he turned to Shen Yuan.
"What the hell just happened."
Shen Yuan wasn't paying attention though, instead he was scolding his mini. Mini-Qingge was standing infront of Mini-Yuan, brandishing his sword at Shen Yuan with a furrow of his brows and a high pitched grunt.
"Hand them over. Where did you even get those? I told you no more talismans!"
Mini Shen Yuan let out a squeak of protest, stomping his feet and waving his tiny hands around angrily. Shen Yuan wasn't going to be deterred by a tantrum though, so he reached his hand down to pick Mini-Yuan up by the back of his robes.
Lil' Qingge didn't take too kindly to that and promptly stuck his miniature blade through Shen Yuan's hand. Shang Qinghua's jaw dropped as he watched Lil' Qingge's sword slice all the way to the bone. Cang Qiong was definitely going to have to foot the bill for that...
Shen Yuan's rage was hot enough to ignore the pain as he snatched the tiny sword from the other and picked up his own mini. Mini-Yuan chirped indignantly and made a jingling noise when he was shook, bunches of miniature talismans falling from those teeny sleeves like faux snow.
Shen Yuan furrows his brows and snatches the talisman up, tucking them into his left sleeve before stuffing Mini-Yuan in his right sleeve. Afetrwards he plucked Lil' Qingge's sword out from where it was embedded in his hand and slid it to Liu Qingge.
It was like the silent spell was broken, immediately after Shen Yuan slid the sword over Mu Qingfang made his way over. He gingerly lifted Shen Yuan's hand and inspected it, saying that a cut this deep could cripple Shen Yuan's hand if left untreated.
Just like that, before anyone could get any more words in Mu Qingfang announced their departure to his peak, where he could treat the injury. Shen Qingqiu took it upon himself to form a cleaning array, immediately cleaning himself of the beast's remains as he tried to find anything to say.
"Well... Zhangmen-shixiong I believe that it's best that this meeting is adjourned for the time being... We'll need to find another location to hold meetings while we get this one fixed."
Shang Qinghua's voice was sheepish as he shook off the excess gore, speaking up before Shen Qingqiu could gather his thoughts. Yue Qingyuan just sighed in an exasperated tone, the brotherly smile on his face never leaving as he agreed and called the meeting to an end.
Shen Qingqiu wasted no time in turning and heading back to his peak. Tucked away in his own sleeve, (gonna call his mini Xiao-Jiu :3) Xiao-Jiu poked his head out, shooting Shen Qingqiu an accusing glare. He wanted to play with talismans too! The explosions looked so fun!! Shen Qingqiu just pushed Xiao-Jiu's little head back into his sleeve, bringing his fan to his lips as he thought about this new "sitter."
