Lot of details here that I forgot.

- Chang Ping wasn't literally the only Chang left, there were 'a few family members' with him.

- Chang Ping is said to be the head of the clan at the time of the Chang massacre. This is probably where the semi common headcanon that Chang Ci'an was already dead by then comes from. Also, since Chang Ping is referred to as a fairly young and inexperienced cultivator, it would be reasonable to guess that Chang Ci'an hadn't been dead for very long. Rip to XY for missing the window of opportunity on his primary target lol (tho it's not like we know how he may have felt abt it, if true- he's still described as 'quite self-satisfied' and this is all just conjecture)

- Xiao Xingchen was able to find out about Xue Yang's grudge against the Changs seemingly just by asking around on the street. Guess XY was out there yapping LOL (Not about the actual cause tho, nooo, that might imply he has actual vulnerabilities)

- I knew he was definitely a teenager at the time of the massacre in novel canon, and I remembered the line that said he was well-known as a menace by 15, but I forgot it was worded in such a way that strongly suggests 15 is being given as his age for when he killed the Changs. Thought it was more ambiguous. Ough

- Xue Yang fresh off his revenge bender still has enough energy to be happily causing trouble 3 provinces over, not even trying to hide in the slightest. What's a good chaser to achieving your long planned revenge? Why, more chaos of course!!!
