Lesson 1.

He has his own work to do, but Red Dawn summoned him in Guiji, he really couldn't miss. He reaches the palace the morning after and joins Jiwon in the eastern quarters with the students. For most of them, he is definitely not a new face, but he maintains a serious attitude during their training and in presence of Red Dawn.
For the first day, he takes a look at what they are capable of, which is really not much for Kaeya and Wooji. He lets them do some basic training, like running and stretching, and showing them a few simple moves he asks them all to repeat.
As the lessons end, Red Dawn leaves and lets them interact freely with each other. Without her around, Jingyuan is a bit more chill. "Let's wash and get changed, then let's have a meal together, shall we?" He is the opposite of Haitien in many ways.

SunDust «I never felt particularly interested in learning about ancient battles, myself. But I trained martial arts, I quite liked taekwondo…»
He sighs. «It may be impossible to control them all, especially since there will surely be many unauthorised people looking for artefacts for the black market.»
He raises a brow. «What kind of artefact is it? One from Shiinden?»
He makes a slight smile. «Don't worry. I have already spoken about it many times, so unless there is something you are curious about, we can avoid to bring up sad matters…»

Whiteroar "I could see you were capable already with your movements. You indeed had a bit of experience already.
Indeed, but the danger is very big. We have to hope they don't know of their existence, so they won't look specifically for them. There are already illegal trades, but most things are just fake and shiny.
I'm not certain, I knew they had some secret weapon in Xingxi." He is talking about WonPil's things.
"I can't say I'd like to hear about your misfortune...except for the sake of getting to know you more deeply."

SunDust «I used to follow so many courses when I was a kid. Until a traumatic event happened and I stopped doing most of them. Then I finally found out the joys of being an actual kid and spending all dad's free time with him.»
He nods. «I think that the few people who know about the details of those artefacts would never reveal them publicly. Or I hope so, at least.» He thinks only ancient ones know.
«A secret weapon? I really hope it didn't end up in wrong hands…» He would never expect they have WonPil's things.
«I think that you know most of my misfortune already, though…!»

Whiteroar "It is right to find a balance between your duties and your interests. Don't let your hobbies down but also spend quality time with your people. I work a lot, but I try to spend sundays with my family.
I would never do so, I'm talking so openly to you because you know already, even better than myself.
Red Dawn would probably not tell me. Not sure her oldest disciples know either.
Kind of...we should focus on something more positive."

SunDust «I learnt the lesson… all the time i wasted back then, will never come back to me. I don't intend to make the same mistakes. I will see HaiTien every day.»
He nods. «I didn't mean to sound like I suspected you would reveal the information lightly. I was thinking about some people I know, who were alive back in my times too…» But he really doubts that they would reveal those info either.
«It is probably better so. If she has that weapon, it is in the safest hands already.»
