 t's nearing the end.
The atmosphere in the Town is different now. There's a hush, as if the entire world is expecting something, watching and waiting and prepared for some final outcome --
And then it happens.
The trees come surging forward suddenly, intensely, aggressively. It's a fierce attack a determined attack, branchy limbs trying to take down human and building alike in the Town. But the attack reeks, too, of desperation.
It's the last battle, the last chance to bring about a happy ending. What will you do?

Closed to Shen Qingqiu
But then, the trees started attacking and finding an excuse would have to wait.
The moment he finds Shen Qingqiu (knowing the man, probably in the middle of some kind of problematic situation which was why) he throws the sword (Silver in colour, almost a gleaming white and the guard and sheath have been decorated with carvings of flowers) sheath and all at him.
All the warning he gets is a shout.]
Peak Lord Shen!
[Not even a 'catch' or 'heads up' or 'duck'. Alas.]
no subject
[ Shen Qingqiu had taken the call as Chu Wanning calling out to him in general. Like a, "Oh, you're fighting in this area as well, I have your back!" Yet it seems like that isn't the case at all.
He is only happy that he had his hand up to wave so that he could catch the sword that was thrown at him. He's very happy that the sword was in a sheath. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, MY GUY!! His expression doesn't change on on the inside he is grimacing and pale! THAT NEARLY HIT ME IN THE FUCKING FACE.
Pausing, he stares at the sword before unsheathing it to see it glow a bright white color like any blade would in the hands of a cultivator. Tears may have appeared in the corner of his eyes, but it is only a second! A FRACTION OF A SECOND, EVEN! He's just touched by the gift, is all!! ]
Immortal Master Chu! [ His words are filled with adoration and appreciation! ]

I just happened to have it lying around. [Even though literally no one asked.
He's, of course, still wielding TianWen himself. He would prefer to avoid pulling out the other two unless it becomes absolutely necessary.
It was only because he can see both Shen Qingqiu's hands were occupied that he didn't throw the fan at him too and instead, holds it out when he's close enough.] Take this too. It will hold up to channelling spiritual energy better than the one you have.
[It's made out of the same metal as the sword and it's carved with matching patterns as what's on the sword. Because clearly he just has matching fan + sword combos hanging around all the time.]

Chu Wanning, sir. Shen Qingqiu cannot help but be a little touched by all the effort that the man had put in for him! Really! It's a bit too much! Especially for someone like himself that admitted to being scum among scum! Yet, all the words that people give to me. I suppose... I took all the steps back to stop forgiving myself, to stop wanting to move forward.
He feels like he's acted a bit like a child and called out for it in these actions. Yet even so, he'll answer the kindness that has been given to him. He has to! If he doesn't, he isn't just dragging himself down but all those that put their faith in him. Jeez!! Don't you realize that if you lend me too much kindness that you're going up against the protagonist!
Yet the words lack the usual anxiety and fear -- they're filled with joyous teasing as he swings the sword down to start cleaving some bitch-ass trees in half. ]
Really! I owe you my life!
no subject
[So no need for thanks! Really, stop it!
He turns, both because he's comfortable leaving his back to Shen Qingqiu and because he's embarrassed and wants to hide it.
A whip is not really a weapon well suited to fighting trees, but then. TianWen isn't a normal weapon. It glowed golden before he sent the end flying at a tree and where it hit, it cracked and splintered, the damage extending outwards to destroy it in a small explosion of spiritual energy.]
no subject
His heart feels all a-flutter at seeing that spiritual weapon tear through trees. Granted, he can't see as well as he would like, but he's really feeling sparkle-eyed about it. Just like Pyra's sword! It really makes a heart beat twice as fast seeing a high quality destruction machine tear through foolish enemies!
I can't get enough of it, really! It never isn't cool to watch! Even as he swings his sword around, because he also wants to be cool and dazzling!!, he can't help but be really impressed with that whip.
A person would probably call it like a Lv. 100 Raid Weapon only!! So cool! It makes him feel like everything is going to be all right. Like this is going to be something they beat back and win without trouble. It warms the heart; for the first time in two months, his heart feels at ease. ]
Yes, yes, you did that say that, Immortal Master Chu. But you gave them to me, so do I not owe you some words all the same? Please, allow me some face!
no subject
...ridiculous.
[That's about the only reasoning he can't argue with. But...this is embarrassing! He hopes the situation is too hectic for anyone to notice the red tips of his ears.]
...do what you want.
[He had to be careful how much energy he was using. It would be all to easy to use too much and there were limits to the medicine helping him keep this form.
But then. He wouldn't have needed this medicine in the first place if he were willing to go easy or be careful with his usage of spiritual powers. When he sends the whip snapping out and taking out another tree, he felt a pull inside of him.
A flick of his wrist and a golden barrier forms around them, haitang blossoms swirling lazily on its surface. Remembering what Wei Wuxian said that one time, he calmly insists.]
This isn't a qi deviation.
[And that's all the warning anyone gets before he suddenly shrinks down into a five year old. At least his robes shrunk with him.]
