Background / History

Xun'er lived in the Xiao Family under the Xiao surname while retaining ties to the Gu Clan. Her exceptional talent and different surname drew attention even before her clan background became clear; observers of the Heavenly Dao Rankings suspected that she came from a power far greater than the Xiao Family. 16 524

During Xiao Yan's cultivation regression, Xun'er remained one of the few people who trusted him completely. She silenced those who insulted him with a glare and insisted that the proud, gifted Xiao Yan would never destroy his own foundation through shortcuts. 15

After learning that Yao Chen had unconsciously absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, Xun'er becomes angry on Xiao Yan's behalf. Xiao Yan entrusts her with his secrets concerning future memories and Yao Chen's existence. 482

At fifteen, Xun'er tests as a One-Star Dou Zhe. She subsequently enters Jia Nan Academy through its Wutan City recruitment team, while Xiao Yan chooses to leave Wutan City to pursue his own plans. His unannounced departure leaves her despondent; she vents those emotions in a spar with Lin Nan, severely injuring him. 490 491

Appearance

Xun'er is a refined young woman whose beauty and calm bearing make her the focus of attention wherever she goes. At Jia Nan Academy, she is commonly seen in pale-green clothing and is compared to a solitary green lotus among the other students. 15 540

• Fair, delicate features and a pure, refined temperament. 15 486
• Lively, jewel-like eyes that become cold and sharp when Xiao Yan is threatened. 564 596
• Usually wears green or pale-green clothing. 490 540
• Manifests brilliant golden Dou Qi, including a pair of golden Dou Qi wings for flight. 549 596

Personality

Xun'er is composed, restrained, and difficult to impress. Even when she wants something as simple as a bracelet, she does not ask Xiao Yan to buy it for her; she quietly puts it back rather than interrupt him. Around Xiao Yan, however, her reserved demeanor gives way to playfulness, teasing, and open affection. 486 487

Her loyalty to Xiao Yan is unwavering. She defends him against ridicule, rejects the many academy students who pursue her, and is willing to confront powerful opponents when they insult or threaten him. 15 538 577

Although she often lets Xiao Yan take the lead, Xun'er possesses substantial pride and confidence in her own ability. She deliberately conceals much of her strength in battle and later accepts Xiao Yan's encouragement to stop remaining in his shadow and reveal her own brilliance. 547 592

She can also be jealous. Upon hearing about Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin accompanying Xiao Yan, her teasing words carry enough killing intent to unsettle Ling Ying. 524

• Liu Fei — An academy rival whom Xun'er slaps for insulting Xiao Yan, escalating tensions with Liu Qing's group. 577

Story Role / Major Arcs

Wutan City

Xun'er stands beside Xiao Yan while he is disparaged for his regression, openly defending his character and potential. After Yao Chen awakens, she learns the real reason behind Xiao Yan's lost Dou Qi and promises to protect his secrets. 15 482

She accompanies Xiao Yan through Wutan City's marketplace, accepts his bracelet over Jia Lie Ao's expensive offering, and cooperates with Xiao Yan's provocation of Jia Lie Ao. After Xiao Yan defeats Jia Lie Ao, she watches him refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir and receives it from him. 486 487

Jia Nan Academy

After entering Jia Nan Academy, Xun'er becomes one of its most pursued students, but repeatedly makes clear that Xiao Yan is the only person in her heart. When Xiao Yan returns after more than two years apart, she publicly runs into his embrace before the entire academy. 538 540

She joins Xiao Yan, Little Doctor Immortal, and Little Qing Lin in the selection competition. While Xiao Yan becomes the competition's most visible newcomer, Xun'er demonstrates strategic insight, helps face the strongest teams in the final melee, and conceals the greater part of her own strength. 543 548 549

Pan Gate and the Strong Ranking

As Pan Gate rises in the Inner Academy, Xun'er helps defend its new students against Bai Shan's faction. She remains calm when threatened, confident that neither Bai Shan nor Fu Ao poses a meaningful danger to her side. 564

During the Strong Ranking Grand Competition, Xun'er finally displays her true ability. Her victory over Lin Xiuyuan overturns the academy's perception of her as merely a beautiful and quiet follower of Xiao Yan, and she finishes third on the Strong Ranking. 592 595

Return to the Gu Clan

Xun'er's clan orders her home amid turmoil connected to Xiao Zhan's disappearance. Though reluctant to leave Xiao Yan, she acknowledges that she wants to return home, hides Xiao Yan from the arriving Gu Clan escorts, and departs on a Four-Winged Unicorn using golden Dou Qi wings. 582 596

Notable Quotes

“Even though those people slander you, saying you took medicine or something, Xun'er knows that Xiao Yan-gege is a very proud and very clever person—how could you ever do something that destroys your own foundation?” 15

“If you truly want to stick your neck out for someone without distinguishing right from wrong, then I, Xiao Xun'er, will take it.” 577

Trivia

• The Heavenly Dao Rankings show a girl named Xun'er with the exact same face as Zhu Zhuqing, causing Zhu Zhuqing to question whether Xun'er was her past life. Zhu Zhuqing later receives Xun'er's life experience from before Xun'er became a Dou Emperor. 15 47
• Despite her gentle public image, the Inner Academy ultimately considers Xun'er more frightening than Xiao Yan after her hidden strength is revealed. 595
• Her relationship with Xiao Yan makes him the target of widespread resentment among Jia Nan Academy's male students, including Bai Shan and Wu Hao. 538 546
