It really doesn't matter to Ling what timeline Jingyi is from, as long as he does what he's told here and now. He won't even insist on Jingyi calling him "Sect Leader Jin" at any other time... probably... but his obedience just now is a good excuse to help the other boy in spite of how rude he's always being. What happens after that is something Ling will consider when the time comes.]
Very well.
[Grabbing his sword, he cuts the jellyfish almost in half, missing Jingyi's face with utter precision. Nevermind that there was, like, half a centimeter between Ling's sword and Jingyi's face, as the jellyfish' remains will show.]
