I am a “even though he considers her annoying Yu Yiseol is Cheong Myeong’s favorite disciple” truther
#pika’s ramblings#return of the mount hua sect#return of the blossoming blade#romh#listen. listen. listen to me.#she was the first one to recognize his swordsmanship as mount hua’s now-extinct pinnacle after he reincarnated#she understood his strength immediately (which was why he thought she was annoying at the start) and respected it#and knew immediately that it was the sword she should be striving for as a disciple of mount hua regardless of him being of a younger line#and on the reverse side!#cheong myeong is severely disappointed by the skill level of the current mt hua but he acknowledged her skill as a disciple with potential#in the huazhong arc his narration outright says that she was the only second grade disciple who would have a shot#at winning if she’d participated#plus it’s implied that none of the other third grades had the guts to induct her into their training which means cheong myeong was stuck#with the job the whole time until the second grades could train on their own#which is so so funny after he spent all that time avoiding her demands that he train her#anyway. some people might say that yu yiseol is being built as the love interest (I am barely a tenth into the novel so I don’t actually#know what happens past like 200. don’t spoil it for me#but I say they’re wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!#first of all I think cheong myeong died an 80yo virgin so write that down.#whether it was due to personal preference (aspec) or his single-minded devotion to martial arts doesn’t matter#what MATTERS is that I think yu yiseol is cut from the same cloth#the number one thing in both of their hearts is mount hua’s sword#my hc is that while baek cheon has the most raw power of the second grade disciples yu yiseol has the most skilled swordsmanship#that part’s not relevant I just wanted to mention it.#ANYWAY their first and only loves are the sword and even though their personalities are so wildly different they’re both still oddballs who#devote themselves mind body and soul to their swords.#and no matter what he thinks of her personality cheong myeong’s got to at least grudgingly approve of her dedication to the sword and#desire to improve it
