[Lazy Ancestor Shou x Stern, Upright Sect Master Gong]
When the lazy ancestor Guan Ziqing emerged from seclusion, the predictions of the all-knowing began spreading everywhere:
His sect would have its foundations shaken by his future partner.
The elders teared up. "Your Excellency!"
The ancestor thought for a moment, then lay back down. "How could that be? I don't even have a partner."
Besides, running a sect was exhausting. If they disbanded, he could just lie around all day.
The elders were heartsick. "Better to believe it than dismiss it!"
Once you find someone, how hard can it be to keep them under control?
The ancestor drawled lazily, "But who would come?"
The elders were speechless. ...That makes a lot of sense, Your Excellency.
Who could have guessed that on the day the Nantian Sect held its partner selection, countless people would flock to catch a glimpse of the sect master's face, yet only one peerlessly handsome and impeccably polite contestant would make it through?
Just as they were about to meet, a bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky.
The lazy ancestor had reverted to childhood. The elders were all horrified and hurriedly wrapped him up in their sleeves like a dumpling.
The contestant pondered. ?Excuse me, is this a partner selection?
The elders: Ah, yes, yes... No, no, it isn't... Wouldn't you get struck by lightning for this, Your Excellency?
The ancestor pushed the sleeves aside and calmly declared, "It's changed. We're recruiting a daddy now."

The Nantian Sect might have the name of a sect, but everyone in it was up to no good. Its ancestor was ruthless and decisive, and had once shaken the entire cultivation world. Once he emerged from seclusion, he was bound to stir up trouble again.
As the leader of the righteous sects, Yu Ci couldn't stand by and do nothing. He left his disciples behind and infiltrated the Nantian Sect under the guise of becoming the ancestor's partner, determined to capture him when the opportunity arose.
It worked surprisingly well:
He was the only one selected.
But what followed was a life spent raising a child.
Yu Ci couldn't help asking, "Where's your dad?"
The ancestor gazed at his handsome face and babbled, "Food, hungry."
Yu Ci: ...
The lazy ancestor congratulated himself on his excellent taste. He'd picked such a useful long-term meal ticket. Ignoring the elders' objections, he gradually handed over every matter, big and small, leaving Yu Ci to manage everything while he sat back and relaxed.
His size, however, kept changing without warning, and his meal ticket gradually began looking at him with tenderness. Everything seemed to be going well.
Until he accidentally transformed back into his true form.
Until one day, his meal ticket suddenly disappeared.
Until... the elders came tumbling in through the sect gates, all hands on deck.
The elders let out a piercing shriek. "Your Excellency! That Yu, the leader of the righteous sects, is demanding that you hand over the child!"
Guan Ziqing: ?
