#i know this is unpopular#but i have always totally understood why nhs used lxc in that way#he was the one that made nmj spare my’s life in nightless city and then become sworn brothers together just to appeal to lxc’s desires#nmj had to lower his guard against the very man that ended up killing him just because lxc didn’t like witnessing outward conflict#and that is just. devastating 

@cangse-sanren wow look at these PRE nie-brothers movie insight!!

love these tags, love the angle that nhs manipulated lxc to stab jgy to avenge nmj’s death AND punish lxc for his inaction.

lxc presents himself as a peacekeeper who values evidence but did he not get on the “nmj is losing control to the sword spirit and his judgment can’t be trusted” wagon with everybody else?? he equated his trust of jgy to lwj’s trust of wwx, but until the confrontation at the guanyin temple we never saw lxc demand answers from jgy like we see lwj do to wwx on multiple occasions.
