The long story went something like this: Cheong Myeong was reckless and clever, and a bit stupid at times for obvious reasons, which led to people making the assumption that he was actually one of the biggest troublemakers in the whole world. Seeing as no one knew where he came from or if he was an orphan or something, everyone assumed that this was home to him—it was, it was his only home, the only one he could ever want—but of course they also assumed it meant he was never over at his old residence, and therefore every scar he had in this body, well, it had to have come from a terrible place.The short story, and the version that Cheong Myeong was more likely to tell people, actually went something like this: he had no clue, so stop asking.(or: while he knew he rubbed off on the disciples, he didn’t realize he rubbed off on them enough for them to start fact-checking him over things that they shouldn’t be asking about. his old wounds included.)
