[ Xichen considers the question, but before answering, questions back, first. ]

Sizhui, I understand that you wish for freedom, but before I grant this, I wish you to consider the following, too.

The classes are but in the morning, and you have the entirety of the rest of your free time to rest, and seek out fun, as you say. Is it such a drain on your time, to spend this time together, focused on improving yourselves?

Second. Do you know what stalling in your development now, by missing those teachings, would do to you? To Jingyi? To Miu? Are you clear on the stages of cultivation for each of you, and that interrupting would be safe?

Third.

What do you think Wangji's answer to this request would be, if you are thinking of more than two or three days?

[ Yes, he remembers the classes. He has been teaching them next to Wangji since the first day, after all, difficult as facing the day has been, most of this time. And no, he is aware there are times to be lax and gentle.

But there are times when structure and a reason to keep going is needed more. ]
