Quite obviously he loved YLS more. RYY was always a rebound girl. I just rushed through XAJH again, and it disgusts me how 'LHC's tears streamed down his face' or 'he was speechless w/ pain' etc. once every 2 chapters b/c of YLS. This wasn't totally incomprehensible, but I find it nauseating nonetheless. JY should've let YLS survive and come back to LHC so that he'd have to make a choice (a la TVB's XAJH 1996), or better, let RYY, in a moment of enlightenment, realize that she was merely the #2 then dump his arse to go w/ some cool dude in the Sun Moon Divine Sect who cared about her the most.
I think LHC came to love RYY the most towards the end of the novel. She was the one who was always there for him through thick and think and never doubted him. YLS may be his first love but she was definitely not his last.
LHC loved Yue Buqun the most. Think about it. Was he more upset when Yue Lingshan disowned him or was he more upset when Yue Buqun disowned him?
Yep, YBQ is your answer

STOP using DHMO! It kills innocent lives!
I say LHC loved his alcohol the most. It never left him for someone else, and he was indulging in alcohol, no matter how sad he was for anyone else.
Well, that's up to interpretation.
I myself always have the impression that he stayed w/ RYY mostly b/c he wanted to repay her kindness rather than b/c he really loved her. Even in the last few chapters, when he wrongly thought that she'd died, or when they were captured by YBQ, his reaction was sort of like 'meh'. By contrast, whenever he saw YLS, he felt as if there were knives stabbing him in the butt.
