Jingliu tells Yanqing "your zealousness inhibits your ability to hide your line of attack". This is something at what Jing Yuan excels
#And the thing we see him insisting on with Yanqing and Fu Xuan#This is also something that was repeatedly stated on the fencing book I read#And it related to the sight‚ as they called it iirc#The book insisted a lot on how a true swordmaster is patient and is able to see in the little movements and gestures of their opponent#the movement they'll make and thus what will have to be faced#Seeing this and anticipating their movements quickly was one of the keys for being a master#There were several things in that book that made me think of Jingliu. I still have to save the fragments here#Anyway... Yanqing replies saying precisely that general Jing Yuan has told him something similar before. I love him haha#I also love that Jing Yuan says himself he has 'no affinity with the sword' and that 'are getting rusty'#I don't know. I adore that the general of the Cloud Knights isn't a natural swordmaster. I love that he admits it too#And I love that Jingliu taught him nonetheless. I adore everything this tells us about these characters#and I won't ramble about it‚ I'll behave‚ but... this reminded me of Yingxing lol#I love the idea well beyond Yingxing and I don't think it has to do with him at all‚but I love that it reminds me of him and master Huaiyan#I talk too much#Jingliu#Yanqing#Hmmm maybe I should find a tag for something that's not Blade related‚ but also doesn't go in the databank tag#Traces#Jing Yuan#I think I should tag him too#I'm sorry if this appears in the main tags. I hate tumblr for not letting me organise things without bothering people too
