#there's no good solution here lmao except maybe him leaving a-yuan with a local village for the time being

*reads a post about someone reacting to a post they saw that was about how could lwj forgive his uncle/brother for his punishment after nightless city, and they say that what they say tracks across all mdzs canons, and then just goes to explain mdzs canon and like.. the problem is it’s NOT cql canon so yeah, you can see why someone who only has cql as a framework might be led to think the way that post you saw said, but also like... it’s still NOT cql canon, which is one of cql’s problems, but like... it being mdzs canon doesn’t.. make it cql canon. esp bc they don’t even hang the punishment off the cql beats anymore, they gave him... what was it, 300 hits with that iron rod? (and somehow his scars look more whip-like than rod-like lmao.. okay. and also the whole series of events in cql leading up to the punishment, and then afterwards, are all weakened TERRIBLY in cql by how they “handled” the first siege, which imo made cql’s more about oh this is for cavorting with evil, instead of like... injuring the 33 elders in public defiance against the cultivation world...but okay*
