[ There's another man standing nearby, his head tipped back to watch as Qi Rong sails through the air on the wild amusement park ride that is the plant tentacle right now. It's hard to tell, on one so typically expressionless, but the sparkle in the eyes of Black Water Submerging Boats is one of ... amusement.
Truly, it is nice to see another ghost, even this uncouth asshole. But even if he's one of the few people who merely finds Qi Rong distasteful rather than abhorrent, it doesn't make them friends. He Xuan has no intention of helping him unless some better motivation comes along. Instead he just enjoys watching.
And that would be that, except that motivation does come along, in the form of a sneaking vine that seeks to add He Xuan to its new ghost collection. Unlike Qi Rong he manages to avoid being snatched, but he does end up having to wrangle the damn thing like a snake, snapping the vine until with a crisp crunch sap leaks out. And now vengeance is enough reason to step in and help. He doesn't have a spiritual weapon at all, so it's just claws and teeth as he comes to join the fray. ]
