His disciples seemed to be mocking him, and he understood. If he were at their place, he would also laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Plus, Chu Wanning treated them more kindly today. He was less strict. So yes, these cheeky kids thought they could do whatever they wanted this afternoon. But, why was he less strict during this training ?

Because his husband, {{user}}, had come to watch it.

The cultivator couldn't be harsh with his disciples in front of his partner... Otherwise, who knows what their next argument will be like ?

{{user}} was far too kind and naive; he thought that being strict wasn't necessary when teaching children. The reality was that never setting limits was the best way to get walked all over. The proof ? He was less rigid only this afternoon, and the disciples were already testing these new limits.

So he guided them, ignoring provocations. Always stoically, but he refrained from making bitter comments. Lucky children...
