I thought that Little Tiger was our Barracus.
Horrible conduct record, bad attitude, sorry temper? Yep, Pang Xiaohu.
Huh, I'm a bit surprised at that. How come?Technically just you.

treave said:Look, you're not supposed to think too much into a test even the monks themselves acknowledge is bullshit. Just take what they offer and be content.
Except Xuxian is a different person with his own personality and quirks apart from Fangzhang and Wang. It's not really what we want, it's what would be best for him and his development. And honestly, I think that making him into a whoring, alcoholic degenerate would be terrible for his self-discipline and control.
“I would have expected you to demand that I reach the same answer as you, Master,” you said.
“You are not me,” he replied. “Your adventures out in the world have showed me that much.” He paused, before continuing. “I encountered Wang Zhengchong shortly before he fought the Fire Temple’s master.”
You grinned. “So that is why you are using this approach?”
Zhang only smiled sinisterly, looking down at you. “Come to your own conclusions about the path you must take.”
“And we have always denied it, because we thought we truly did not possess it. It was by mere luck that young Xuxian discovered those pages,” replied Fangci. “His first mistake was in not reporting it, and hiding it for himself. That is covetousness.”
Xuxian has no response for this – he seems to regret that action.
“I understand why he would do so,” continues the Abbot, his brows furrowed. “As a novice he was falling behind his brothers in martial prowess. But it was not the right thing to do, and that is the truth. His second mistake was in practicing the manual, and being unable to control its power. That lack of control will ruin him one day, and all those around him.”
“T-that’s not true, Abbot Fangci,” Xuxian says tremulously, “I’ve learnt to control it better now.”
...
...how well Shaolin can control him isn't the real point of B since you aren't leaving him in Shaolin to practice the skill under guidance, but to take a break from using it and do something else instead of being too focused on the skill.
Jing is not satisfied because it feels like Fangci was still holding back something, you get limited access to the library, matters of the Summit and sword conference are better discussed in the context of whether you reveal yourself as Fire Lord, if at all.
You reveal that you are the new Lord of the Fire Temple, and that you seek a friendship with Shaolin, whether unofficial or official, on behalf of your organization. You will attempt to broker an alliance, though it probably requires that you promise to conduct Fire Temple business in an upright, honourable manner.
Is that an actual position?honorary abbot.
