In a post-canon setting where LWJ has run off to be a farmer with WWX, and LXC is writing sad emo poetry in seclusion. Where LQR is tasked, AGAIN, with running the sect because his family is such a hot mess.

I just think he should be allowed to draft LJY into helping him.

"This young disciple is here to assist me during the meeting, because I am so old and feeble now. 😔"

"...But Grandmaster, you're not even sixty? And you have a golden core...?"

"So old. So feeble. Practically deaf."

*smash cut to LJY shit-talking an obnoxious sect leader*

LJY is literally throwing hands with someone who just insulted the Lan sect, and LQR simply Does Not Perceive It.

His eyesight is failing. 😔 He can't see what those disciples over there are doing. 😔 Please don't remind this poor old man of his many frailties. 😔

Sometimes he leaves meetings early, because his strength is fading. 😔 He must rest. 😔 Lan Jingyi will handle matters from here, to spare his poor elder any undue strain. 😔

That is LJY's cue to Cause Problems On Purpose.

Let LQR get a little chaotic in his old age, is what I'm saying. He's earned it. If he's gonna be roped into being Acting Sect Leader again, let him have some fun. Let him find creative ways to absolutely ruin obnoxious politicians' days.

LJY would be proud to assist in this noble endeavor! NHS would also volunteer his services! Let them do what they want!!
