Erm.

I thought it was just me I love that this time, its BL, but why did they make Wang Yi a kid? I feel guilty shipping them in cultivation world.

I agree where I loved it's a bl setting bc they aren't like pushing the genres aside from the og genre between the ml and fl, but like. A CHILD? I guess it's common for manhuas to have those student x teacher relationship but why in here.. they could've added a rival x rival or like rivals to lovers

Where the mc and ml doesn't have that weird gae gap or blood related relationship

*age

whats worse is its even more like Father son cause he picked up child Wang Yi and has been taking care of him while making him as his disciple. I just can't with this

Sorry everyone, i will try to clarify this in terms of wuxia settings we usually see. So there's a huge probability that Win would have remained mostly absent, or only training him at some periods during Wangyi's stay at the sect. Plus age gap don't matter in cultivation- because one is a young looking immortal. It just somehow doesn't.
Also the first part isn't an assumption per say, but how authors write it always so it doesn't become "grooming"

Qin* not Win
Bruh.

"don't matter in cultivation" that's basically like other people who watch anime and go "ermm she's actually 42" *insert a grown up that acts like a child and looks like one* it's just weird overall, they should've just made it like childhood friends where they were rivals in cultivation terms where they try to be the best at everything and consider each other as a rival they they need to overcome..

I uh don't know how to say it. Cultivation usually have all these immortal lords whose age could be 19 or could be 1000+. They will still look young. But experience wise, these lords usually spend years in meditation or Cultivation doing nothing but ride on swords or clouds all day. They arent physically old, or mentally much mature and are usually ascetic types practicing dao. The romance will probably occur once mc grows into an adult afterall.
Maybe by that time, he will make his own spiritual core and become immortal too.
