Picture this for a moment
Old!generation of cultivators, in their learning years
We know for a fact that the Lans have been hosting cultivation lessons for a very long time; Lan Qiren and Cangse Sanren canonically studied together at Cloud Recess; and from their brief interaction, Madam Yu and Wen (formerly Zhao) Zhuliu seemed to know each other from years past.
SO, how inconceivable is it to picture all them together taking lessons around the same time?? with others from their same generation, too??? JIn Guangshan hitting on everyone, Cangse driving a-Ren absolutely insane, YuLiu being a thing and then you have soon to be Clan Leader Yao who is. just. there.
think of the hilarity. the Drama. I call to my ao3 darling artists to bring this fever dream to life
