Maybe before they start cultivation training? Do you think that’s too young?

[shangba]

They may misunderstand.

[emperorssmile]

Yeah, you’re probably right.

It’s not like we keep it as a secret, though. Unless you think we should start?

[shangba]

I feel no shame toward you.

[emperorssmile]

I’m not ashamed, either. I just assumed we’d be open about it and they’ll ask their questions when they form.

[shangba]

Perhaps let us see how their curiosity settles.

[emperorssmile]

That works. Should we stop talking about it when A-Liang’s in the room?

[shangba]

No need to hide Wei Ying.

[emperorssmile]

Then I won’t try to. It’ll be easier not having to keep track of what we talk about like that.

[shangba]

If I offended you, I apologise.

[emperorssmile]

I’m not offended. I just didn’t think about how complicated it is before you brought it up.

[shangba]

No. We are parents.

Must merely decide.

[emperorssmile]

I want to do what’s best for the kids. You’ll keep me on track, right?

[shangba]

Will you keep me?

[emperorssmile]

Like you’d ever say anything too bad in front of the kids!

But sure, I’ll help.

[shangba]

Let us keep each other to account.

[emperorssmile]

Deal.

Did you just think about the whole resurrection thing or has it been on your mind for a while?

[shangba]

It only occurred to me we have not prepared.

[emperorssmile]

Oh, good, good. I was worried I was just missing how important it was for a long time or something.

[shangba]

I make attempt to hide nothing from Wei Ying.

[emperorssmile]

You’re pretty good at it, too.

I try to be open with you, too.

[shangba]

It need not be a race.

[emperorssmile]

I’m not trying to make it competitive. I just want to make sure you know I’m trying, too.

[shangba]

Wei Ying gave me his word. It is his bond.

[emperorssmile]

Your trust makes me feel happy, Lan Zhan.
