Iirc, it's implied that luo binghe wasn't the first young talented disciple that shen jiu took harsh measures towards in an attempt to drive them off the peak (the treatment being just as bad as lbh's abuse is unclear. But I assume that since shen jiu hated binghe the most, the abuse he inflicted upon him was a lot harsher compared to past disciples. Considering shen jiu hated him so much that he attempted to kill binghe multiple times and all).
So wouldn't it be an interesting scenario if some form of luo binghe encountered these runaway failed disciples later in life? What would either bingmei or bingge feel about that?

Yes!!! And it doesn't have to be just marriage either it can include any happy healthy long-term relationships. Getting together shouldn't always be the end of the story, I want to read about how they stay together and deal life's issues, plus adventuring couples are amazing. I dont just want to read about angst and heartbreak and misunderstandings, I want to see them overcome these issues and see what happens thereafter. I want to see long term character development!!!!!! That is not a boring subject but it's probably more difficult to write that an angsty whirlwind romance so we don't see it often. Some of my favourite book series follow this direction including the In Death series by JD Robb and the Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh.
The untapped potential when writing about established relationships is literally boundless if you bury the stereotypical tropes
Why you should write healthy marriages:
1. They aren’t done enough.
2. They help other people understand what a healthy relationship looks like.
3. Fights can last for weeks and still be part of a healthy marriage.
4. Stereotypes. Break all the marriage stereotypes.
5. Soft cute couple moments DON’T stop after marriage.
6. Marriage is completely independent of character arcs. Those two individuals with trauma will still be two individuals with trauma but with gold rings.
7. A healthy marriage is one where people understand that their partners have baggage/trauma/flaws, but love them even in rough patches. 
8. It isn’t that healthy marriages aren’t compelling, it’s that people don’t know how to write marriages correctly. 
9. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that women are trophies to be won.
10. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that someone’s “freedom” ends there. Bury this trope, please, I beg of you.
