Hmm, since everyone seems to be declaring what side they're on, I will too. I'm on Kayas side, she is an innocent, brave child and she deserves a loving family. I hope her mother gives birth to a baby brother and they live happily ever after.
She definitely didn't give her second daughter a very traditional upbringing so your theory certainly makes some sense. I believe it to be open for interpretation.
The artist did doist Lan dirty lol
I mean, he's still a naecant soul cultivator, even if he looks like a child, there's no reason to be dressed so childish too!! They could have given him a majestic robe and long gorgeous flowing hair but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
