They learn nothing of Wei Ying, but are told that Wen Chao sometimes keeps prisoners in the Indoctrination Site that his father granted him supervision over. His own little fiefdom. That when he isn’t in Yunmeng, he’s there. Playing. Just out of reach of his father’s growing instability.

it's easy to call the wens cartoonish villains but...yeah, he was doing this, wasnt he? I always felt like their cruelty and domination over the less powerful was an extremely frightening aspect of the flashback arc, and not an unrealistic depiction of the kind of abuses of power the story explores despite being one of the less subtle ones. like, he enjoyed torture he enjoyed lording over others and he had the power to make that happen

#wen chao IS horrifying he IS scary he IS rightfully a menace who needed a great deal of power to be defeated #there were more issues in the greater cultivation society but a wealthy son of a powerful family makong sport #of those socially and politically weaker than him is very real and very frightening #he's always such a crude villain in like. modern aus but in feast and famine the author looked at his social position and his personality #and said he could be a serial rapist. and it really rang true #as in a rich young man who roofies women at parties with his friends and assaults them #and he has the connections and wealth to get away with it even easier than he would have otherwise #rape tw #ficblogging
