Background

Lu Xueqi entered Qingyun Sect as a child and formally became Grandmaster Shuiyue’s disciple at Xiaozhu Peak. Even at her disciple-acceptance ceremony, she was noted for her cold bearing and extraordinary beauty. Bai Ye’s display against Fang Chao caught her attention, convincing her that his seemingly carefree reputation concealed formidable strength. 11 13 14

At a gathering on Fenghui Peak, she directly questioned Bai Ye about his rapid cultivation and mastery of the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art. She then declared that she would challenge him at the next Seven Peaks Tournament. 18

Appearance

Lu Xueqi is a peerlessly beautiful young woman with an aloof, wintry presence. As a child, she wore snow-white robes and already possessed a cold expression that contrasted with her youthful appearance. 11

• Often described as cold, refined, and difficult to approach. 84 85
• Wields the sky-blue Tianya Divine Sword, whose sheath and hilt carry flowing blue light. 49
• Her appearance and aura draw attention even from visiting experts of Heavenly Sound Temple and Incense Valley. 84

Personality

Lu Xueqi is disciplined, proud, and intensely focused on cultivation. She dislikes being underestimated and repeatedly insists that Bai Ye face her seriously rather than treat their rivalry casually. 49 85 87

Her composure conceals powerful emotions. Thoughts of Bai Ye disrupt her meditation and sword practice, a change Shuiyue recognizes immediately. Even so, Lu Xueqi frames her feelings as a determination to surpass him through fair competition. 64

She is also fiercely loyal and courageous. During the Demonic Cult’s assault on Qingyun Sect, she places herself before Bai Ye to shield him from Shangqing Realm attackers and openly confesses her feelings. 163
