Jin Ling is not going to apologise for sending for his other uncle and the Sect Leader for the region, no matter how big a mistake it has turned out to be and how much the others are never going to let him forget it.
And it had been a mistake; Jiang Cheng had lasted all of twelve minutes before losing his temper and yelling at two children, the six year old Hanguang-Jun and the baby Yiling Patriarch, he had lashed out - as he did, he always did - at the latter for what, saving the young disciplines from being hit by the curse? Being the ones to answer the call about the curse in the first place? Being close enough to Yunmeng to hear about the curse? What?
Who knows?
He probably didn't even mean what he'd yelled, but the tiny Yiling Patriarch had cried and the adorably bristling little Hanguang-Jun had bitten a Sect Leader, whacked him on the knee with a sword Jin Ling hadn't even thought he could lift, and now stands, trembling but determined, and fiercely hugging the sobbing baby to his small chest as he glares at his supposed brother-in-law.
Jin Ling's brilliant idea of taking the afflicted couple to Lotus Pier - never one that would pass muster with the Lan disciples but damn it, it is closer than Gusu! - dies the minute Lan Zhan proves that cursed or not, child or not, he is as protective of his Wei Ying as ever...
