Barring extenuating circumstances, the longest Nie Huaisang went without a single hour of saber practice was fifteen days, when he was thirteen and his brother was away on a hunting trip. The punishment both he and his minders received upon Nie Mingjue’s return was motivation enough for no one to ever try to challenge this record.

Years later, Sect Leader Nie would show up on the training grounds every fourteen days to go over his form, knowing that even if went another day or two without it, no one would come back to yell at him.

im sorry it turned sad... and possibly a little off prompt x_x
