This made me laugh! "He didn't let his beastly temper show in front of just anyone, so he often gave the impression of having a great personality and being easy to talk to." If those are his thoughts - he has great self-awareness!
It made me laugh too. I love it. (Your comment reminded me of something I've been wondering, btw: how much of the narration is omniscient "narrator" voice and how much is in the characters' heads. I feel like the narration's a bit more distant than what you'd generally see in a Western novel, and that some of the ruder observations are actually the author's POV seeping in -- what do you think?)
i don't really understand what is going on here: 'Finally, Zhao Yunlan said, "Lao-Chu, you're smart. I've rarely met anyone smarter than you, so I'm not going to waste my breath. You know perfectly well why. Make of it what you will."'
I was wondering about that, too. I wonder if it's just that the SID can't go around teaching people sorcery. That could potentially lead to all kinds of badness, right? Idk...
