I know that Hua Cheng is a chaotic neutral whose morality starts and ends at Xie Lian, and in other matters he usually just helps or harms on a whim depending on his mood, but I do think it is a bit interesting that at Tonglu he protected a group of humans, even to the extent of tearing out his own eye to create a weapon that would help them survive.
Also, it's shown multiple times that he places a lot of extra care in the "flower" part of the "sword in one hand, flower in the other." He daily replaced the flower on crown prince statues as a kid, and as Wuming he gave Xie Lian a flower when Xie Lian was at his darkest. He may not be kind and caring himself but I think he really, really values that in Xie Lian.
