Background / History

Nalan Jie was a life-and-death friend and traveling companion of Xiao Lin. The two each claimed one of two Advanced Na Rings they discovered in a cave, and Nalan Jie later gave his ring to Nalan Chaoge. He also passed his signature Battle Skill, Raging Lion's Wrath, to the Xiao Family because of that friendship. 3 16 19

After Xiao Lin's death, Nalan Jie remained committed to the betrothal between his granddaughter Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. Although he acknowledged that the Xiao Family had stopped visiting the Nalan Family, he refused to break the old promise and insisted that Yanran would marry Xiao Yan even if the Xiao Family had fallen into ruin. 3 4

When Nalan Chaoge could not cultivate and later fell unconscious, Nalan Jie risked hunting a Fifth-order Fiery Poison Seal Python. He used its blood to bathe Chaoge for three days in an effort to open his Qi Sea, then sought Pill King Gu He's assessment and paid him with Seven Illusory Clear Spirit Saliva. 1

Chaoge's recovery and sudden ability to cultivate delighted Nalan Jie, who named him the hope of the Nalan Family and urged him to become strong enough to bear the family's future. Though suspicious of Chaoge's extraordinary advancement and clone technique, he ultimately chose not to force an explanation from his grandson. 3 15 17 18

Following Chaoge's killing of Mu Lu, Nalan Jie helped settle the resulting political crisis by offering the Mu Family an Earth-tier beginner cultivation technique as compensation. He publicly punished Chaoge to demonstrate accountability, while making clear in private that he would not allow the Nalan Family's hope to be harmed. 12 13

Before leaving for the frontier, he warned Chaoge about the backlash of the Eight Inner Gates, healed him with Dou Qi, and entrusted him with martial resources intended for his future. 19

Appearance

Nalan Jie is an energetic elderly man with a full head of silver hair. Despite his age, he moves with the speed and force expected of a Dou Wang. 3 19

• Silver-haired and physically vigorous. 3
• Can manifest enormous Dou Qi wings for flight. 19
• Often presents a stern, authoritative demeanor as the family's elder. 3 12

Personality

Nalan Jie is defined by loyalty to family and promises. His refusal to abandon Yanran's engagement stems from his bond with Xiao Lin and his conviction that a vow must be honored, even when the Xiao Family's conduct gives him cause to doubt them. 3 4

He is also protective and pragmatic. Nalan Jie publicly disciplines Chaoge after Mu Lu's death, but arranges the response as political theater while securing compensation and shielding his grandson from being surrendered to the Mu Family. 12 13

Although initially demanding answers about Chaoge's rapid rise, he respects his grandson's privacy rather than investigate against his wishes. He frames the Nalan Family as Chaoge's unconditional support, even while urging him to recognize that strength is necessary for survival. 16 17 19
