"As you've seen, all external mundane affairs, whether dealings between sects or deliberations in the Nine Heavens, are handled by Deputy Sect Master Lu Qingxiao."
"As for Azure Lotus himself..."
Yun Lan spread his hands.
"Your uncle knows even less than this brat Bao Jian. After all, my wife doesn't tell me bedtime stories."
Yun Baojian: "..."
His father was actually still nursing a grudge over that.
Yun Lan suddenly stroked his chin. "Still, the current Deputy Sect Master, Lu Qingxiao, is said to have studied under Azure Lotus, devoting himself to the sword for many years. In all the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, judging by personal ties and tutelage, Lu Qingxiao should understand Azure Lotus best."
Yun Qing's double pupils shifted slightly. "You mean we might infer what this Azure Lotus Sword Master is like from Sword Venerable Azure Sky's conduct?"
Yun Lan was about to nod, but at the sight of Yun Qing, he suddenly fell silent.
Yun Qing: "?"
He looked at Yun Lan in puzzlement. "Uncle?"
Yun Lan sounded rather helpless. "I was going to say that Lu Qingxiao's sword intent is lofty and lucid, that he keeps the sect's mundane affairs running smoothly and is quite adept at dancing through social circles with long sleeves. The Azure Lotus Sword Master shouldn't be too difficult to get along with."
"But looking at you..."
Oh. Yun Qing understood in a damnable instant.
Yun Qing, who likewise "kept mundane affairs running smoothly and was quite adept at dancing through social circles with long sleeves," had a younger brother, Immortal Emperor Yuanhuang, whose word was law and who wanted to improvise the "Twelve World-Destroying Poems" every day.
What a striking resemblance.
"Let's hope we don't clash with this Sword Master during our visit." Yun Qing smiled.
"Ah, sword cultivators."
