July 19 400 words. Wallowing in 80's wuxia series is not an excuse.

Notes:
+ An important thing which slipped my mind: In wuxia, members of a sect address each other according to seniority, not by name. So it's First Brother, Second Sister-In-Law, and so on. Must fix this at first editing.
+ Handling a great number of characters means I must never forget what traits belong to whom. This exercise might become more interesting when a lot of these characters interact with each other at the same time.
