Background and History

Xiao Yu is the granddaughter of the Xiao Clan's Great Elder and Xiao Ning's sister. Her grandfather introduced her to Xiao Se hoping to draw him closer to the clan, but she objected when she thought he meant to arrange a childhood betrothal. Her attitude toward Xiao Se changed after he warned her that Xiao Yan might come upon her at a secluded hot spring 4 364.

Before leaving for Canaan Academy, she discovered that Xiao Se was concealing his cultivation and agreed to keep it secret. She asked him to accompany her; he declined but promised to see her off 4 8. When Xiao Se returned to the Xiao Clan, he gave her Qi Gathering Powder and a cultivation method, then helped her break through to Dou Zhe 83 84.

At Canaan Academy, Xiao Yu welcomed Xiao Se when he arrived for enrollment and introduced him to her friend Xue Ni 164 165. Later, she learned that the Xiao Clan had been exterminated and resolved to grow strong enough to seek revenge 355 365. She remained at the academy as an instructor rather than return with Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei. After reaching Half Saint, she returned to the Inner Academy as an elder and presided over a Fire Energy Hunting Competition 436 443.

Personality

Xiao Yu has a fiery, outspoken manner: she fiercely rejected what she believed was an arranged betrothal and frequently calls Xiao Se “Little Pervert” 4 250. She is also observant and discreet, having uncovered his hidden strength without revealing it to others 4.

She is candid about feeling outmatched by the gifted cultivators around Xiao Se. Although she initially hesitated to accept an Immortal Herb from him, she continued working on her cultivation 169 170. His apparent death distressed her deeply; when he returned after eight months, she embraced him in public and demanded that he stop taking such risks 250.
