(non-shippy) #JiangCheng #JinZixuan friendship @demonicfarmer69 
They inevitably grew closer after becoming in-laws, but what Jiang Cheng didn't expect was to become friends. Having a family had softened up the Peacock, and that was where they found real common ground. +

The birth of Jin Ling drew them closer, and often they would talk (or bicker) about him, overseen by A-Jie's fond gaze.
One time, however, they were training together after a long meeting when Jin Zixuan said, "I want to teach him archery."

"He only likes Suihua because it's shiny, and already you're planning teaching him other things? A-Jie gets no say?"
"A-Li agrees, and I'm only expressing what I want. He will decide when he's old enough."
Jiang Cheng smiled then. Jin Zixuan was a good father. He was glad. +

"Why archery? Sword skills are more important, and you're not even that good."
That was a lie. Jin Zixuan was very good, but he couldn't resist taking a jab at him, after the results of the Phoenix Conference.
Surprisingly, the Peacock only shrugged. "I've gotten better." +

That was true. There was no doubt he'd improved. Jiang Cheng eyed the targets they'd been shooting. All of them hit centre, but Peacock's draw was faster and more accurate than his overall.
"Will you help me teach him?"
Jiang Cheng snorted. "Ah, so you want me to work." +

"You have a different technique to ours. Let's teach him everything. He will become the best of us." Jin Zixuan paused, and then added, "A-Li agrees."
Years later, and Jiang Cheng watches Jin Ling pull the bow, releasing the arrow to hit dead-centre.
"Good. Again!" +

This is one time when Jin Ling doesn't complain about his scolding. He wants to be the best of the best. When he turns with a cocky grin, he's the spitting image of his father.
Jiang Cheng only knew his own technique until he learnt more of them to teach Jin Ling everything. +

Let there be no areas where he is lacking. There would be none if his parents were around, there shouldn't be any without them either.
As long as he's alive, there won't be.
Perhaps he would've been better under his father's guidance, but he really is the best of them.//
