Background

Bailing was summoned through Li Xiao's Sacred Gift Bag reward and immediately introduced herself as his subordinate. Following her empowerment, she joined Linglong, Niu Meng, Bing Shuang, Lian Xue, Ya Fei, and Cai Lin as one of Ascending Heaven Pavilion's Protectors, addressing the others as her sisters. 79

Her responsibilities expanded from personal protection to managing Ascending Heaven Pavilion's daily affairs. Li Xiao later entrusted her with auditing exchanged treasures, enforcing pavilion rules, overseeing security, and acting as deputy pavilion master in his absence. 404 419 586

Appearance

Bailing is a peerless white-haired woman with a slender figure and a composed bearing. Her arrival is marked by the crisp sound of high heels against the floor, while her flowing hair is repeatedly noted as one of her defining features. 79 640

• Flowing white hair. 79 640
• Wears high heels. 79
• Often carries herself with an elegant, restrained demeanor, even when confronting hostile experts. 419 625
• Uses a longsword with a dragon-head hilt and golden energy around its blade. 463

Personality

Bailing is unwaveringly devoted to Li Xiao. She regards protecting him as the purpose she chose from the moment she entered the world, and remains willing to shoulder Ascending Heaven Pavilion's burdens while he is absent. 640

As deputy pavilion master, she is calm, disciplined, and professional. She explains the pavilion's rules to newcomers, audits exchanges, manages auctions, and refuses to tolerate fraud, violence, or disrespect within the pavilion. 419 586 625

Her gentleness toward family contrasts with her treatment of threats. She comforts Xiao Yi Xian as a sister, tests Li Muchen's limits with concern for his growth, and shows warmth toward Qing Ling; however, she executes enemies and destroys hostile factions without mercy when acting on Li Xiao's orders. 272 410 659 679
