can we take a moment to examine how shitty & selfish lwj is post-canon and also what lxc has to endure after guanyin?
first, lwj just fucking... DISAPPEARS w the resurrected yiling laozu who's still under a great deal of suspicion tho less now than before bc he saved a bunch of
first, lwj just fucking... DISAPPEARS w the resurrected yiling laozu who's still under a great deal of suspicion tho less now than before bc he saved a bunch of
ppl's lives during the second siege. lqr is two steps away from having an aneurysm & the sect is in a bit of a disarray bc their HEAD! DISCIPLE!!! vanished w/o a word.
so lxc has to both calm his uncle down, & delegate lwj's duties to other trusted disciples, all bc lwj couldn't

wait like two more gd seconds to bang wwx on the side of the road w/o lube
anyways
next, the ceremony of burying nmj/jgy's coffin. it sounds like nhs organizes the whole thing, so lxc simply has to be present, but my god, can you imagine how harrowing that would be?? there's

prob still jgy's blood on the thing bc the resentful energy is so strong & volatile that ppl are afraid of disturbing it any more than necessary. just knowing that his sworn brothers are in there, trapped for at least 100 yrs... ugh. and there are prob rumors flying around the
entire time that lxc is bound to catch wind of bc ppl aren't as slick as they think they are (& also bc fucking everyone in mdzs can't speak more quietly than a stage whisper, apparently), and they'd be so fucking ridiculous, ranging from dramatized retellings of what happened
to actually offensive conspiracy theories about 3zun that lxc should strike down but he's so tired, too tired, so he just. keeps a faint smile plastered on his face & feels numb - and has absolutely no one to support him, bc lqr sure as fuck won't/can't, and lwj is, again, GONE.
and then lwj comes back & says he's married to wwx? which once again throws the lan sect into absolute chaos. there's an uproar from cultivators who still haven't forgiven wwx. lqr prob gets so mad/stressed that he's bedridden for a few days.
lxc sees all this & even tho all he wants to do these days is empty his mind and meditate, he takes one look at lwj, sees that he clearly doesn't give a shit whether his family accepts his marriage or not and is therefore going to do fuck all to control the situation,
then heaves the world's weariest & heaviest sigh, and does what he's done for lwj so many times by now, and addresses everyone's concerns one by one until he's managed to salvage his idiot rebellious brother's reputation once again and also managed to get the sect to at least
tolerate wangxian's marriage since outright acceptance is likely out of the question.
all this poor man wants to do is disassociate - sorry, "meditate in seclusion" - and stop being in acute emotional pain for like five min but no the world (& lwj) can't give him even that much.
