A chapter setting things up with the return of Lord Seventh/Great Shaman.
Merry Christmas fellow fans of WoH/TYK/priest. Translating this has kept me sane in many ways, and sharing it with neat people is great!
And a merry Christmas to Emma P, who proofread this very quickly so I'm able to post it!
Note
1. They are eating xiaolongbao. The sheer number of Wikipedia articles on food items never ceases to amaze me.
2. Feeling that a situation is unfair is expressed as "feeling unbalanced in the heart" in Chinese. The author echoes the chapter's title here.
3. 南疆黑巫 could be alternatively translated as "practitioners of dark voodoo from Nanjiang".
4. 投鼠忌器 idiom translated literally.
Misc note on Lord Seventh's lecture. Not to spoil anything, but the author is clearly making Lord Seventh lay down foreshadowing/setting him up as a red-herring/third person in a love triangle here. His diatribe on equilibrium seems directly inspired by some of Sun Zi's work, but I can't recall anything with that exact theme in the Art of War. It may also be a personal reflection from the author. If you are better informed, please drop me a line!
I think the equilibrium was about WKX and ZZS. U know how WKX even though he pesters him, he refrains from using too much force to meet ZZS where he is and waits for him to figuratively and literally lean on him, as seen in the ch. with the bad symptoms from the nails.
ZZS is a cripple WKX could force him but he does not. Because he wants to tempt him and knows that ZZS doesn't break under pressure but can be coaxed with a different approach.
Haha, these two are simultaneously scary and cute. Thanks for the translation!
