To keep up appearance in front of XieLian since he doesn't know his real face
XL doesn’t see his face in the pit, they’re in complete darkness until Banyue lights her ghost fire. Unfortunately, his anonymity wasn’t maintained in the drawing but I bet it’s hard to draw the illusion of pitch black darkness, have Ke Mo and XL visible and HC not visible. HC’s ‘true face’ is the one with the eye patch, where he’s even taller and older and without an eye. The manhua also assumes you’ve read the novel and already know what Hua Cheng looks like so it doesn’t cover it up for the reader.
Oh! Yeah I’m reading the Novel! I just thought that it was a mistake in the Manhua! Sorry about that (￣∇￣")
Don’t be sorry it was confusing
Wahhh! Am I going crazy? Why does San Lang keep putting on the eye patch then taking in off! (〜￣△￣)〜
