I think it will. You're quicker on the uptake than most and I wouldn't dare make you sit through boring lectures that'd make most people fall asleep...

[ One of the disciples lets out an undignified snort because everyone who is in earshot (minus the blond man) knows exactly which person he's talking about. Lan Qiren's part in the indoctrination lessons taken at Cloud Recesses are known far and wide, after all. ]

Hmm...well, I'd like to never get old and that's about it?

[ He then suddenly turns to the disciples near the two of them, saying: ]

You're excused.

[ The two of them hesitate, because of the simple fact that though they may be able to treat the blond with him with respect, it is a simple fact that McGillis is a stranger. But they know it's useless to protest it, though the fact they are in the heart of Nie Sect territory makes them less hesitant to go. Still, the fact is what happened to the last Nie Sect Leader is something that will never not be on their minds when someone outside of the Sect is welcomed. They bow nevertheless to Huaisang and then to McGillis. Though not before one of them says to the blond: ]

Please take care with our Sect Leader, good sir and honored guest.

[ Then off they go as Huaisang gestures for McGillis to follow him. ]
