Background / History

Xiao Li was Su Luo's important childhood friend. Her departure devastated him so deeply that he sealed away his memories of her; when they met again, she recognized him while he failed to recognize her. 274 316

She adopted the name Jian Bubai to inherit her father's sword path and dedicated herself to sword cultivation. Her SSS-Class Sword Dao Supreme made her exceptionally dominant among her peers, with few able to endure five exchanges against her. 139

About a year before her reunion with Su Luo, Xiao Li discovered an isolated human village on the Exotic Beast Continent. She killed a Tier 6 Exotic Beast attacking it with a single strike and was thereafter revered by the villagers as a divine being; she remained to protect the settlement. 316

Su Luo eventually found her by sensing the power he had placed within her. Their reunion was strained by his failure to recognize her and by Xiao Li's anger over his relationships with other women, but they reconciled. 316 317
