A-Wang, A-Lai, and Jade Screen

The video continued.

The moment Stelle finished speaking, before Cion had time to turn his head back, two more figures walked in through another door.

A-Wang: "May the elders and people of the land tolerate me, that I may never earn sinful money in this world!"

[A-Wang: Ah, what a shame!](.???)?

[A-Lai: Heh! So you really do want to replace me.](o｀ε′o)

[A-Wang: Oh, I was just joking. Audience, look at this guy—he can't take a joke.]

[A-Wang: Oh, I never said who it was. I'm just worried certain people might assume I mean them.]

[A-Wang: Ah, forget it, forget it. It's been so many years already—I can't be bothered to fuss over it anymore.]

[A-Lai:
