the big misconception is that kong lu is the exact same as qui.
except in reality he's still the jade of the jia family and is directly a sibling with xichun of his world.
the most likely explanation is that hong lu just killed qui (mao faust's uptie story starts with kong lu killing her "previous master")
>"but hong lu is too weak! no way he can kill kong qu-"
this is a version of hong lu who decided to saw "screw it" and now abuses the favor of the elders to get what he wants.
wouldn't shock me if he decided to ask the elders to lend him entire heisou packs and hire color fixers to kill kong qui
