QQQ: What are you talking about?! We can literally see a whole group of ghosts clinging to him with the bare eye!

WQW: I tested him with every sword, he’s not—

LQG: Well if he’s not possessed then what is this?

YQY: Don’t worry Xiao-Jiu, I’m sure we’ll figure out how to fix this….

SQQ: Do NOT call me—

MQF: Hey hey hey let’s all stay calm… please…

SQQ: I am calm.

MQF: Shen shixiong—

YQY: Xiao-Jiu—

QQQ: And what’s up with you, ah? You can barely keep your babbling mouth shut most of the time and all of a sudden you’re quiet as a mouse.

All eyes turned to Shang Qinghua. All of them carried expectant gazes like he could magically fix this bizarre situation. A very strange group of ghosts had made their way onto Cang Qiong Mountain. They were neither malicious nor resentful; actually they didn’t really do anything but stick to Shen Qingqiu. It was truly a strange sight to behold. They were almost entirely white in color, faces distorted or gone entirely, bodies far too small and dressed in the simplest of garments.

They looked like children who had died before they even understood the concepts of life and death and their identities. Well, they looked like that because that’s exactly what they were.

SQQ: You do know something don’t you? Spit it out already, you rat!

SQH: Ah— that— so I— Shen Shixiong, they’re harmless I promise!

YQY: Shang shidi, if you know how to resolve this…

SQH: Oh no. No no no. Let’s just— let’s just wait and see? They really are harmless so—

SQQ: What the hell is that supposed to mean? Just wait and see?

MQF: Shang shidi, please.

SQH: how about we don’t…

LQG, QQQ & SQQ: Shang Qinghua!

SQH: Okay, look. You won’t like what I know about them and it doesn’t really help to get rid of them anyway so how about we—

SQQ: Spit. It. Out.

SQH: Okay okay okay but you gotta promise to not kill me!

SQQ: …

SQH: Promise!

SQQ: Urgh I promise. Now talk.

SQH: Well, okay, so… I can’t— I don’t really remember what they’re called right now but… I have actually, unfortunately encountered them before. They really are harmless. These ghosts they… stem from children who died very young. Like really young. Usually in slow, brutal ways… torture, assault, those things…. All they really do is cling to each other for comfort and flow from place to place.

The room stayed quiet for a moment.

SQQ: And? Why are they sticking to me?

SQH: That— I— You really don’t want me to say it, Shixiong…

If a gaze could kill.

I know that LQG is like younger than the rest of the pl but idk how much younger he really is

it's probably like 2 or 3 years younger but I find the idea of him being a full decade younger hilarious

Ill post this au( inspired by tweet above) i started on my twt on Tumblr too

First part

more comic panels below

SY is born to a pair of wandering cultivators and grows up constantly on the move with them. His Baba is a skilled healer and they mostly survive off him providing remedies for people. Diedie used to make swords, he still can with proper assistance but he was very seriously injured before SY was born and is still in bad shape... But they both love him dearly and SY grows up knowing all about swords- spiritual and not- and every possible medicinal plant within a thousand miles.

He knows his parents don't particularly like the Emperor, he knows vaguely that they're hiding from something... But it isn't until he's eleven that they're resting in a town when the Emperor arrives for a surprise visit with some local noble and his parents freak the fuck out.

He spends a week with them hiding in an abandoned building- the visit turned into a wedding between the emperor and some noblewoman- with only Baba venturing out to get food occasionally. And during that time Diedie tells him a story, about who his parents used to be before he was born.

His memories of his past life are hazy, but a number of things now become incredibly obvious in hindsight.

He's in PIDW. The Emperor is Luo Binghe. His parents are former Peak Lords Mu Qingfang and Wei Qingwei. Diedie is so hurt because Luo Binghe very nearly killed him before getting distracted. Baba was also seriously hurt but managed to keep himself and Diedie alive and escape the destruction of the sect.

It's fine, this is fine. He can work with this, his parents' plan of constantly moving around has worked so far, even this close call was ok. Really this is kind of ideal. He's getting top notch cultivation training from his parents. He can explore the world of PIDW without worrying about running a foul of any Plot Stuff. No former Peak Lords ever turned up in PIDW after all...

They come back with the discovery that no shixiong it isn't an attack, somehow, well it sort of is sometimes, and sometimes they leave beast heads somewhere close to LQG -that LQG would reciprocate because did they think he would be threatened by just that, boom here's the head of a more dangerous beast-, but they're not harassing humans especially after LQG kills whoever does it, but they just keep building a perimeter around LQG and only point at their martial brother when they're demanded to speak with their leader. Otherwise they pointedly ignore QQQ and WQW, or at least they did after that initial fight to get to their martial brother by cutting through a bunch of demons.

Also shixiong! Shixiong! They would point Liu-shidi to a hunting ground and Liu-shidi would listen and head there that fucking idiot!

And actually maybe we should send someone with diplomatic skills so they send SQH for the actual diplomacy and SQQ/SJ as the resident demon expert (SQH would've been fine on his own but they don't know that) since maybe this is some kind of tradition or ritual.

The two arrive.

They fight their way through the perimeter.

Talk to Liu-shidi as much as anyone could talk to that guy.

They observe.

The two spend quite a while just cackling at their shidi after they explain to him that actually, you courted a bunch of demons and built a hundred numbered harem, oh you shameless and lustful man, you heartbreaker!

The two rush back to brainstorm a solution and more importantly tell their martial sibling and Liu Qingge will never ever hear the end of this.

Yue Qingyuan: “my disciples :)”

Shen Qingqiu (Jiu): “the hellions”

Shen Qingqiu (Yuan): “my ducklings/buns/kids/babies”

Wei Qingwei: “my evil army of minions”

Shang Qinghua (original): “my students 😑”

Shang Qinghua (Xiang Fei): “my horrible children”

Qi Qingqi: “my girls”

Liu Qingge: “my brats”

SY having a no evil sword rule so Bingge leaving Xin Mo outside barrier whenever he goes to visit SY. Probably good thing because angry evil sword would not be happy with all the pranks and attacks he keeps having done by all the disciples.

They will do everything possibly to keep this playboy demon lord away from their dad/shiziun. They will psychically launch themselves at him to try and hold him back.

Bingge can't fight them or anything, he's just desperately trying to get to SY with all these kids hanging off him trying to hold him back and yelling for Mobei Jun who is off staring at and trying to woo SQH reborn who is terrified and trying to hide.

SY comes back and is like 'Oh wow Bingge is playing with my disciples'

MQF is watching sipping tea he was asked to watch disciples while SY is busy so he is... watching them enact some karma. He's watching the demon lord whose wooed hundreds of woman keep being utterly rejected unknowingly by SY who will praise Bingge and knows all about him... but who misses all the very obvious wooing and proposals... Bingge is losing his mind and MQF is just watching very content.

Baby reborn Wei Qingwei keeps trying to sneak out to see Xin Mo whenever Bingge is here SY keeps talking about cursed swords but WQW is like 'I CAN FIX IT'

MQF says that the serum will last for about a week and a half. Everyone is so confused--Liu Qingge asks if MQF is sure that being truthful is the only side effect because of the massive change in SQQ's demeanor. When MQF confirms it for the third time the other PLs are just kinda stunned at all of this lore dropping. LQG confronting SQQ after the diagnosis only to watch SQQ flinch and bristle. "I do not go to the brothel to bed women! I haven't touched a lady like that, ever!" and LQG is about to dismiss it as a bad lie before he realizes that right now SQQ can't lie.

If Shen Qingqiu hasn't been going to brothels to sleep with women then what has he been going for?

Mu Qingfang doing a follow up checkup and questioning Shen Qingqiu about pain and for the first time ever Shen Qingqiu says something like "Nothing more than the usual pain." and MQF's like "usual pain?" and SQQ absentmindedly explains about how his meridians have been forcefully stretched open and just circling the Qi within is painful for him. MQF also can't help but notice the way Shen Qingqiu shrinks away from him slightly and how his body naturally rejects all foreign qi as a defensive mechanism.

Yue Qingyuan giving SQQ a gift and SQQ snapping at him. "I don't want your guilt ridden gifts. How can you have the nerve to abandon me and then act like all is well when you find out that the boy you left to rot is alive?!" Yue Qingyuan opens his mouth to say something but Shen Qingqiu keeps going. "You left me, and the worst part is that you won't even tell me why. Why you didn't come back. Why you didn't send anyone. Why you let me cling to a false hope for years!" and then Shen Qingqiu smacks whatever object Yue Qingyuan was offering him to the ground and turns around, stomping off.

Qi Qingqi badgering Shen Qingqiu about sending Ning Yingying to her instead of keeping NYY surrounded by men and SQQ just glares at her venomously and says "I will not be sending my daughter away." and QQQ (She wasn't there for LQG's little confrontation.) accuses SQQ of having a child with one of the brothel prostitutes and SQQ loses his shit on her.

Wei Qingwei is even called to test for possession (even though MQF says that it's just a truth serum), and while he's there he notices how Xiu Ya seems to be well cared for and he says as much. SQQ's like "I have to do that much for a blade that I'm not worth" and WQW goes quiet before explaining that the blade chose him so SQQ is obviously worth it.
