I guess both he and Ye Zun really only remembered childhood nicknames. :(
I wonder how long they were travelling alone together before they got separated...
I always thought teaching wasn't something he really thought of until he found himself doing it, and then he realised he loved it. But of course we don't have any canon on that ...
Science, then? Some kind of scholarly pursuit? He spends some of the conversation observing the stars.
I based it on the rebel chief saying Ye Zun always had these grand ideas, and I feel he has this drive to achieve his goals (even with his revenge against his brother) that I would call ambition.
*nodnod* That makes sense! I presume most of the grand ideas Ye Zun shared with the chief would be for the chief's benefit, but still.
So Ye Zun might not even have to mind-control them all that much himself, at this point?
He might not have to, but he might do it anyway from insecurity or fear, you know? He has every reason not to trust them, since they followed his tormentor (whether willingly or unwillingly, how would he know?).
But also, he gets so very casual about shooting people, I really wonder what's going on in his head.
I guess when the odds are so weighted against them (two against how many?), he can't afford to hesitate. He's there in place of Shen Wei's soldiers. And he won't let anything happen to Shen Wei. And then... it kind of carries over into modern day when he goes back. /o\
Hee! When he sees Shen Wei and Ye Zun together (the scene where Ye Zun pretends to cry and beg his brother's forgiveness), he says "he's your brother?" in a tone that (imo) makes it clear he's figured out this is Ye Zun - that could be the moment he realises.
I thought that was the moment he realised the rebel chief is Shen Wei's brother, the brother he asked about. But that's not the same as realising the rebel chief is Ye Zun from Dragon City. Ohhh, except that Zhao Yunlan met him in the park in ep 20, so he has seen original!flavour Ye Zun -- white robes, gold mask -- rather than just "disguised as Shen Wei" Ye Zun, who could be using a power to change his face. Okay, never mind. :-)
So what I think is happening (which is what I've always assumed) is he's realising here that Ye Zun and Shen Wei are brothers.
