Flowery whispers, flowery words ♡

Liu Qingge has been training for pretty much his entire life, while Luo Binghe only got like 3 years of actual training?

The rest of what he learnt was from having to fight in the abyss, just that’s not skill. That’s, stab and slash at the creatures fast enough so that they can’t eat you. Like, if you made them as fast and as strong as one another, Liu Qingge would win I would think, because he has the actual technique; he’s fought against demons, humans, and beasts with actual intent behind most of his strikes. Luo Binghe has rarely had to fight someone as strong or as fast as him, or stronger or faster. Chances are, his lack of training would lead to a bunch of openings and missteps that could easily be taken advantage of if not for the fact that Luo Binghe’s speed and inherent ability to heal didn’t make up for it

Liu-shidi has the technical skill and experience and he's polished to the last inch of his being - but what can you do when the opponent is a damage-sponge and their punches are stronger?

Becauce Big Brother Yue has all the skill of a seasoned cultivator AND is tankier than Binghe. YQY has the power to sweep the floor with a whole sect, and no amount of Demon blood can save a guy when he's under a one hit kill beam. Again, a bear only has to catch you once and between the two of them, Binghe may be the brown bear, but YQY is the white one;)

Shen Yuan, remembering it years later: another plot hole in your shitty writing! Binghe's body can be made hazy with wine but not any other substance? Makes no sense!

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

“But Luo Binghe refused to give up hope.

He refused to believe that the teacher who had been so kind to him would actually hurt him. He refused to believe that all those years of companionship every day, morning to night, could lead to this conclusion.
