+"General, let's call it a day! I'm exhausted..."\\
+"Didn't you say you have the confidence to remain undefeated as long as you hold a sword? Why are you acting so weak?"\\
+"What kind of retainer would take up arms against the person they vowed to protect? What if I accidentally hurt..."\\
+"If your sword is half as quick as your mouth, I'd already have lost. I'll keep one hand behind my back. Now, be quick!"\\
+"No no, two hands behind your back, please! Or maybe you can consider not using the Lightning-Lord, general?"\\
+"You think it's like the Sky-Faring Commission's business, where you can barter your way out? Hmm, let me see..."\\
+"Aha — a weakness! Watch this!"\\
+"I knew you'd do that. Counter!"\\
+"Ow-ow-ow, darn it! I'd been waiting for ages for my shot."\\
+"All's equal in war, and sneak attacks are a good idea. It's too bad your sword is so focused on the flourish and can't conceal its form. Is this what they call youthful vigor?"\\

+Jing Yuan spent much time and energy raising Yanqing. Some speculated that he was cultivating an heir, while others claimed he kept the kid around just to use as a secret weapon. Jing Yuan never offered a response.
+Yanqing became an unrivaled fighter aboard the Xianzhou Luofu as his skills grew more and more advanced. Jing Yuan gradually began thinking about ways to restrain Yanqing's edge, to take him down a peg without curbing his confidence.
+Too solid and it can shatter. Too sharp and it can blunt. More than just a sharp edge — a sword also needs a scabbard that can restrain it. In Jing Yuan's view, Yanqing has grown up exceedingly fast — beyond expectations. What Yanqing needs right now is not more strength, but the ability and experience of curbing that strength — something that can only manifest over time.
