"Nirvana in Fire"/"Lang Ya Bang" Group Read: Discussion Post for Chapters 78 - 81

[x_los]

 Week 19 of the "Lang Ya Bang" book club, chapters 78 - 81. This discussion will draw to a close, and the next session will open, on September 19th.

I'll be doing a weekly post with thoughts on this community. Feel free to join in/discuss. If you'd like to join the Discord, contact superborb for an invite.

SPOILER POLICY: I personally don't give a fuck or even like to give unearned credence to the concept, so since I'm writing the post, anything's fair game.

(If anyone is interested in dankodes running further poetry content during or after NiF, please let me know what you'd be keen to discuss. I'm happy to work with you on that. I'll probably ask this again once NiF draws to a close.)

Re: Chapter 80

From my recollection, the objective in the drama was the same (to test how hidden the tunnel entrance was, with one of the Xia disciples being a major
music nerd?), with Banruo and Prince Yu’s presence and ulterior nosiness adding to the tension. Also gave a chance for Xia Dong and Nihuang to interact more, which I love!
