Summary

Now hardly anyone will speak, for fear of causing offense and starting a fight. However, holding it in seems to also have consequences.
It's up to Xie Lian, the two gods of this shared territory, and a his husband to get to the bottom of it and cure them of this affliction.
Sure would suck if all four of them ended up cursed to speak the brutally honest truth themselves....

Summary
Mu Qing has to send a clone down to answer a prayer and it runs into a long forgotten crown prince.
This is just a silly little story about Xie Lian and Mu Qing meeting by accident about 200 years into Xie Lian's banishment.
It involves a stolen spiritual item, an ugly dog, and several rogue clones.
Remember when Xie Lian mentioned not recognizing Mu Qing's voice because he hadn’t seen him in ‘five or six hundred years’? This is that time!
This story is for @Ameji’s TGCF Clone Week, and each chapter (day) follows as many of the prompts as I can manage to get in there. There are clones, but I will not /exactly/ be using these prompts for their intended clone-related purpose jsyk lmao. At least not all of them. Honestly, I have no idea what I was doing with this.

Xie Lian heads towards the mailbox, ready to remove the silly little halloween card that he’d left behind. He feels brittle, and he’ll do anything to chase the feeling away, even if it’s just to laugh at his own actions.

Bookmarker's Notes
good and the paradoxes are interesting to think abt
to anyone coming across my note-to-self by chance, this contains MAJOR SPOILERS and mind boggling meta
current timeline hua cheng will still be dead.. and i guess this hua cheng is the past hua cheng who can be alive in the current timeline after xie lian writes that letter because the letter saves him, but only the past hua cheng.. so unlike the paradox that assumes that the past can't rewrite itself because if that were the case the present would be different (and hua cheng wouldn't have died), instead it assumes that the person from the past is a different past, functioning similar to the mailbox itself, and that time is a volatile thing, capable of warping past and present in a controlled way. which is even more interesting because at the wedding, hua cheng knows about the letters, so there's actually a universe where they still exchange letters, but he doesn't get saved. one could argue that the present does rewrite itself because the ending is left open to interpretation, however the counter-argument for that is that in that case, hua cheng from the past would've existed and lived in the house at the same time as present xie lian. so the way for this to work is that hua cheng from the past gets the happy ending, but even the mailbox can't save them in all universes.. perhaps this works when one considers physics and electronics. this exists at a metastable point where it could be a 1 or 0, with that metastable point being if hua cheng sees xie lian's latest letter in time, contributed by multiple micro factors such as xie lian seeing the painting, hua cheng lingering at the house, etc etc. kinda bittersweet, but I'll consider it happy.. damn that's rlly interesting
