Post cannon Mobei Jun asking Binghe to teach him how to cook for romantic gesture purposes, which Binghe reluctantly agrees to since Shizun says he needs more friends. Through protracted BQ collaboration, Mobei Jun sees/hears more and more instances of Shang Qinghua thinking of/treating/calling Binghe his son, and he slowly comes to the conclusion that not only was Qinghua Junshang’s cultivator parent, but that he personally contributed to the yeeting of his queen’s son into the hell dimension. Mobei Jun feels as though he cannot stop taking Ls. He needs to be a good stepmother. So he starts taking Junshang on demon rites of passage, since he’s basically still a human. They go on a no weapons hunt together, Mobei Jun gets him claw guards, they softcore terrorize a human settlement by painting some of the livestock interesting colors. Binghe thinks that his second in command must be very lonely and is half doing this out of pity. Eventually when Binghe announces he’s leaving the court for a bit, Mobei Jun goes in for the “love you, be safe.”

Peak Lords "baby-sitting" their now-de-aged sect leader: Liu Qingge edition.

Liu Qingge, on Bai Zhan Peak: I'll escort you to my place. I need to spar with some disciples, so stay put until I am back.

Yue Qi: You're going to spar? You haven’t even had breakfast yet! You need to eat something first. You’re also going to get those robes dirty, please change into something more comfortable first —

Liu Qingge *taken off-guard by the lecture then by the sudden silence*: ... Are you okay?

Yue Qi: I — sincerely apologize if I overstepped, but...

Liu Qingge would have definitely seen it as overstepping if this was anyone than other than Zhangmeng-shixiong, so he supposes his reaction makes sense. He speaks softly: You have not. I don't mind. What else did you want to say?

Yue Qi: Can you please go easy on your disciples? I don't mean to demean your judgment — of course you know best — and I am sure these... spars were warranted, but they're simply children, they don't know what they're doing.

Liu Qingge: *blinks in confusion*

Yue Qi: Maybe you can spar with me, instead? I don't mean to —

Liu Qingge, too harshly for his own liking (he didn't think a day would come when Zhangmeng-shixiong asks him for a spar first): No.

Yue Qi: *goes white*

Liu Qingge, wincing: We can spar when Zhangmeng-shixiong is back to his... norm.

Yue Qi still looks upset, so Liu Qingge sighs: ... I'll try my best.

And he gets a genuine, big smile in response. (He realizes he's never seen Shixiong truly smile with joy).

For the first time in the history of Bai Zhan, Liu Qingge doesn't wipe the floor with his disciples.

so bingge never really knew liu qingge, right? he'd died before bingge came to cang qiong (or at least before he was old enough to know much about the sect outside qing qing)

so im imagining bingge shows up in svsss world, probably chasing after sqq or something weird post extras, and suddenly he comes across an ethereal cultivator facing off against some mythological beast. he remembers having trouble fighting the creature when he encountered it himself a few years after he escaped the abyss, so his instinct is to step in

only, before he can take xin mo and save the maiden (?), the cultivator rends the beast's head clean from its neck, flicking the blood off their blade with a practiced flourish

bingge is ??? (and also maybe horny? uh??)

he steps closer to get a peek and is shocked to see someone who could be liu mingyan's double, just broader, and a bit taller. he's even more shocked they aren't veiled, knowing what troubles his wife faced due to her looks

it's only after he follows (stalks) the cultivator throughout the countryside for about a week, watching them defeat demons and beasts alike without breaking much of a sweat, that he realizes this must be the Bai Zhan War God Liu Qingge, a man he'd never met in his own world, and who's death he'd handedly avenged at the behest of his wife, Liu Qingge's younger sister

the man is impressive, to say the least. he handles foes that bingge faced with only slightly less grace and efficiency, wielding his sword like an executioner's axe, brutal yet indifferent, as though the slaughter was nothing more than a duty he excelled at

it's exciting

he watches as liu qingge returns to cang qiong, watches as the man drops the carcasses of his conquests on shen qingqiu and that imposter's doorstep, so clearly pining and yet left alone in the cold, served with nothing but subpar tea and a glare from bingge's wretched counterpart, a wound only eased by the tempting, gentle smile of his soft shixiong

bingge begins to put the pieces together (as wrongly as one possibly could), and starts to realize (again, incorrectly) that the difference in this world must be that all his wifes-to-be are indeed husbands-to-be, and bingmei was just slow on the uptake, having only garnered one marriage thus far. he hasn't run across liu mingyan yet, so it's entirely possible her and her brother's fates had swapped here. perhaps this man's survival is why sqq didn't have such an awful reputation in this world? (he doesn't take the time to consider why that might be, not entertaining the idea he could have been wrong about his world's shen qingqiu's involvement in the bai zhan peak lord's demise)

watching this all unfold, he hatches a plan

if bingmei's pathetic self won't take the opportunity in front of him and marry liu qingge, an evidently unparalleled beauty just like his sister, then bingge will. he has never claimed to be selfless, and intends to be as greedy and self serving as possible by pursuing the cultivator who is clearly desperate for connection

connection that bingge is all too happy to provide

The easiest way to convince Yue Qingyuan to think something of himself is to frame it in the worst way possible.

Instead of "you are strong", try —> "You're monstrous"

Instead of "you're so kind", try —> "you're fucking spineless"

Instead of "you're so smart", try —> "you're a manipulative bitch"

Instead of "you're so reliable", try —> "you're so toxic that you constantly make people dependent on you"

when yue qingyuan's cultivation is revealed-- markedly inhuman but not demonic either: completely artificial-- the news spreads quickly. the huan hua healers are notorious for their inability keep their mouths shut, especially when gold is on the table. the fact that the powerful foreign sect leader was poisoned and unconscious for the examination and had not known to bribe them after he was discharged to mu qingfang's care was moot.

by the time he awoke, whole and healthy, without a single error to his cultivation despite without-a-cure's nature, his secret was known to most of the cultivation world. he reacts to this news in solemn air, but he does not panic, as others would have. but he does not respond to these rumors either.

as they spread, yue qingyuan continues to stay silent, refusing to address them. when it is brought to him directly, he allows his lips to thin and shamelessly changes them subject. even as the other sects circle, calling for a hearing to accuse him of demonic cultivation or cheating himself in some other manor, yue qingyuan says nothing.

even on the stand, where healers publicly gasp at the strange perfection of his meridians, when he is compelled by all to speak, he only says, "my cultivation is what it is, and cannot be changed. there is nothing else to say of it," which appeases none. they cry about intention and hidden motives, that transparency is the only way to cure corruption within the sect, which would always appeal to yue qingyuan's sensibilities on all other matters except this one.

everyone whispers of what to do, to take the cang qiong sect leader into custody despite his refusal to admit to anything concrete. they paint him as a sinister individual with intent to corrupt them all that must be dealt with.

this is when mu qingfang speaks.
