Perhaps the phrase 'incandescent with rage' can never truly apply to a Lan, but Jingyi gets very, very close. The injustice in what Miu has just told him fills his ribcage. "Even if you are fine now," he says, his voice loud on the empty street, filled with anger on Miu's behalf. This is not anger he can act on, but that does not stop him from feeling it until he has to let it out with large gestures and loud words. "That is a horrible thing that these people did to you."

He no longer wonders why Hanguang-Jun made her a disciple.

"But! But nobody trained you and still you survived what these stupid people did!" To know that she also had been trapped in a reliquary to cleanse resentful energy for an unknown amount of time... "All of this is like fighting fierce corpses with only a stick!"

This was his original point before he had asked her if she had died. It is a more accurate point now that he knows more. A stick is not nearly enough to fight with, especially when learning on her own. Jingyi wants to shove a sword in her hand right now so that something as horrible would never happen to her again.

Fiercely, he finishes, "So I will help you. Starting now while we're night-hunting."
