Dude imagine being Lan Qiren. Like you’re this esteemed teacher renowned for turning troublemakers into respectable young cultivators but there’s this ONE kid who you were completely unable to deal with who’s off the walls trouble, and when he leaves you comfort yourself that you’ll never have to deal with him again, and then he invents demonic cultivation and then dies but then one day out of fucking nowhere he comes back to life, unravels a major conspiracy, and then marries your upstanding nephew

#here you are. headmaster of a prestigious boarding school. guardian of two extremely well behaved and talented young men #with their entire futures ahead of them. you’re so proud. your social cachet is through the roof. #it’s a new school year and you’re looking down at the bright faces arrayed before you. sponges eager to soak up your wisdom. #ah yes. there is nothing so satisfying as molding the hearts and minds of the youth. #but what’s this? not all eyes are focused on yours? there is one among this group who does not hang on your every word? #no matter. you have dealt with miscreants before. in time he will display the calm and deference appropriate for one of your pupils. #alas. your confidence was too hasty. you failed to realize that someone had admitted the devil incarnate into these hallowed halls. #of course you do your best. but no one can expect you to allow such a dangerous disrespectful rabblerouser to corrupt your other charges. #not only does the boy enact violence upon upstanding students but he delights in heresy of the lowest kind. he questions your teachings! #he plants the seeds of sedition in the minds of the purehearted! this cannot be borne. expulsion is a must. #you breathe a sign of relief once he passes out those doors. no longer will he jeopardize the traditional way of things. the school is safe. #you put him from your mind for years until you hear that he has started a cult. you feel a flicker of unease. could you have prevented this? #no. he has always been beyond the pale. there was no helping him. the only thing for it is ostracism. protect your own. #but how can this be? your very own nephew has taken his side against you? he has corrupted even the righteous? #you WILL fix your nephew. punishment and isolation will teach him the error of his ways. you must not fail. #now that the corrupter is dead the world knows peace. you continue in your sacred duty as an educator. your nephew is redeemed. all is well. #until one day your former delinquent student and scourge of the cultivation world returns from the dead in an unholy rite of sacrifice. #you know. the standard life trajectory of any school principal. #it’s always the troublemakers that flunk out rack up a criminal record die violently and then get resurrected and marry your nephews. #now he lives in your house and teaches your students whatever blasphemy he wants. #he and your nephew have a very active sex life and they never let you forget it. it’s fine. #life is hell and nothing makes sense but it’s fine. what else can you expect. it was bound to happen someday. #that’s just the way it is in the high octane world of boarding school administration.
