While I would love it for hyv to stop making Yanqing the narrative punching bag I would also love it if people would stop acting like the losses that we see him face invalidate the character he is described to be. Like I’m sorry but the 14 year old losing fights to some of the oldest and most skilled warriors we’ve been introduced to in the story so far does not make said 14 year old any less skilled or any less of a prodigy.

yk ur foxian jing yuan? consider... foxian yanqing 👀
Foxian yq will DEFINETLY not take care of his tail cause he can better use the time it takes to instead master a new sword or run drills on duty
Thankfully he has his baba who dutifully tries to groom his tail whenever he gets some time cause man, his son's tail looks pitiful

I was thinking that Jing Yuan actually does see Yanqing as something akin to a son, but most of the time treats him as his disciple and a member of the cloud-knights; he admires his tenacity and wants to protect part of his innocence, he did seem to raise him and is so similar to his younger self, but it also comes with an arrogance unbeffiting of a soldier that needs to be straightened out, something that must happen to everyone. Plus, there's something he needs Yanqing to do for him when the time comes, even if he still can't let the kid walk completely alone.
On the other hand, Yanqing doesn't necessarily see him as a father figure (most of the time), more like a mentor and benefactor who inspires respect and some affection, his feelings on the matter could be less complex, but there's always doubt and rumors around Jing Yuan (still glad the common folk can talk so freely about him). For what plot would the general need some kid prodigy who came from thin air?
