And 10, 12 years down the line, while doing a job in the imperial city, YQY stumbles across a grubby little bastard child child in the human emperor’s court with the most familiar hazel eyes
Something he cannot control rears up within him, and before he fully understands what he’s doing he’s already petitioning the emperor to allow his unwanted (n)th bastard child to leave and become yqy’s personal disciple
the bastard son is granted leave to go with Yue Qingyuan—the Emperor has known this earstwhile sect leader ever since he was a young man standing at his Shizun’s side. He may not understand why YQY left cqms for a “sabbatical,” but he doesn’t need to understand the ways of
cultivators to know that this pretty little scrap of a boy shouldn’t stay in a palace full of vipers, hiding in the skirts of whichever unwed maid birthed him. Royal bastard boys don’t usually make it to his age anyway; better to send him off with YQY than keep him at court
So the unnamed little boy—who has lived his life thus far being “beast,” “mongrel,” “brat,” and late at night, in the arms of his mother, “ying-er” (婴儿 — “infant”, “baby”)—reluctantly goes off with yqy.
