#hoyo's def cooking up something with yq and jy considering the amount of care and attention to their character arcs and quests

Ran into my older post about Yanqing and Jing Yuan and it's got me thinking again

If the Yanqing-Abundance theories (especially the version of where YQ originates from it) turn out to be true, the amount it says about Jing Yuan (if he's completely in the know about it) makes me want to cry.

You're telling me that, in this scenario, Jing Yuan, one of the leaders in an alliance whose sole purpose at this point is to kill the Abundance and its denizens, and who probably has his own grudges against it (long life and mara among many other things) with the way it contributed to the tragedies of his life, found a being that came from this very thing he has the duty to hunt and destroy, and decided to take that boy home and raise him as his own???

Despite any potential consequences, he pretty much raised him and while he maintains a "mentor/mentee" relationship, is shown to be very much a dad for him sometimes???

Will he tell him? Is he planning to take this secret to the grave? Was he asked to do this? Did he make a promise to someone? Did he not have the heart to get rid of what supposedly is his enemy and think that this boy should have a chance at living a semi-normal life (or is there something even more)?

Jing Yuan, when I catch you Jing Yuan—
