History

The Star Dou Forest hunt

Yue Guan accompanied Bibi Dong and Gui Mei on a hunt for the Soft Bone Rabbit Ah Rou. After Zhou You helped her escape, Yue Guan tracked them through the Star Dou Great Forest and deduced that they were doubling back toward Wei Lin and the academy students 49 53 55.

The hunt ended after the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape intervened. On the journey back, Yue Guan used pollen to help the exhausted children sleep 59 60.

Teaching Zhou You

Yue Guan later questioned Zhou You about his connection to the Soft Bone Rabbit but accepted his account. Acting on She Long’s request, he took Zhou You as a student and gave him a Wishful Treasure Bag containing medicinal ingredients 93 94.

The pair developed medicinal preparations and investigated Zhou You’s theory of the human body. Yue Guan supplied resources for the research, assisted with a secret dissection, and became the second author of the resulting paper. He helped conceal Zhou You’s identity as its first author, “Lord of the Clouds” 95 97 99 100 102.

Sunset Forest and the medicine valley

Five years later, Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompanied Zhou You on his fifth Soul Ring hunt. During an ambush in the Sunset Forest, Yue Guan pulled Zhou You away from an exploding Soul Saint and helped subdue a hundred-thousand-year Rolling Earth Dragon 107 112 113 119.

The group’s encounter with Dugu Bo led Yue Guan to press his old rival to cooperate with Spirit Hall. He and Zhou You subsequently devised a treatment plan to suppress Dugu Bo’s poison and gradually transfer it into his Medusa Skull 118 129.

Appearance

Yue Guan has a slender figure, straight shoulders, delicate skin and soft, graceful features. His youthful appearance and elegant bearing can make him look like a mature woman 93 130.

• He wore a bright red ceremonial robe patterned with gold-and-silver chrysanthemums and fastened at the wrists with gemstone buttons 93.
• He previously wore armor that gave him a more masculine appearance 93.

Personality

Yue Guan is pragmatic and ambitious. Although loyal to Bibi Dong, he viewed Spirit Hall as a means to gain greater power and initially had little concern for its young talents. His attitude could be kinder: after the failed hunt, he helped the shaken academy children sleep, considering their ordeal too much for their age 53 60.

He enjoys splendor and attention and has a marked concern for cleanliness. He avoided falling blood and bird remains during the forest hunt, and his usual fighting style favors grand spectacle 54 125.

Zhou You’s research gave Yue Guan hope of overcoming the limits he perceived in his own cultivation. He became persistent in obtaining a written account of the theory and generous with research resources 98 99.
