I thought he might not consider himself at war (in a shoot-first kind of environment) until after Wang Zheng and Sang Zan's deaths...

Oh, good point! He does get much more trigger-happy after this


I know what you mean. It just seems so weird to me when Wang Zheng caught on so quickly, though...

Zhao Yunlan's pretty distracted there for a while. When Ye Zun comes in, he still has the Sundial in hand, and he struggles to place it under its little dome, clearly affected by its power. At the same time, he has an oh shit, Shen Wei caught me with a hallow moment and hurries to explain himself. It's only when he sits down that the gears start turning.
