We all love the idea that the disciples of An Din Peak know about and have accepted that their shizun is colluding with demons. The idea that they have all assumed that Shang Qinghua and Mobei Jun are in a committed relationship and have universally decided to look the other way whenever faced with evidence of Mobei Jun's presence, while Shang Qinghua is still utterly oblivious to Mobei Jun's shameless courtship attempts is also gold. (I mean, just imagine the hushed conversations those disciples must have had when Liu Mingyan and the Qing Jing Peak disciples started spinning stories about Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe's theoretical relationship when they were all convinced they were sitting on the details of an actual forbidden romance.)
But I think this gets even better when you add in the idea of Mobei Jun getting frustrated in his attempts to win his strange little human's affection, and, in his pettier moments, deliberately trying to get caught by these kids who refuse to catch him.
Just imagine Mobei Jun, thinking that if he exposes Shang Qinghua as a traitor, then his human will have to seek refuge in the Ice Palace, and Mobei Jun can sweep him off his feet and into the nearest set of wedding robes. So, when Qinghua's not around, Mobei hunts down whatever closet Qinghua keeps Mobei's spare boots and fur-lined cloaks in and flings them across his floor to be discovered. He starts leaving the traditional animal-head courting gifts out on Qinghua's doorstep instead of on his desk. He "accidentally" encases half of Qinghua's leisure house in ice in the middle of summer. At one point, he heard disciples walking by and marched outside in full daylight, and still the children did not turn their heads to see the massive ice demon standing just outside their shizun's doorway.
Mobei Jun is starting to think that being very, very dense might just be one of the requirements for study on An Ding Peak. Meanwhile, Airplane is having a heart attack every other day from trying to cover up these stealth fails that no one cares about.
I dunno, I just think there's something so funny in that.
