Background / History

Senior Sister Gu manages the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's second-floor Tier 2 resources, keeping them in her storage ring rather than at the public counters. Yang Chen first meets her while searching for a resource to aid his swordsmanship comprehension; she wakes at the prospect of a “big spender” and immediately tries to sell him a Profound Heaven Spirit Cleansing Pill priced at 5,000 Spirit Crystals. Unable to afford it, Yang Chen leaves without buying. 51

When Yang Chen returns for Heart-Connecting Grass, she does not remember their first meeting. She refuses his request for a discount without hesitation, establishing a pattern of recording transactions in a memo while personally handling costly goods. 52 62

After Yang Chen asks whether the pavilion can deliver resources, she begins bringing purchases to his spirit-field residence. Seeing his sword practice, she harshly criticizes his technique, defeats him in a spar, and offers continued instruction in exchange for his purchases of extraordinary materials. She subsequently visits every three days to spar and train him. 54

Her training becomes central to Yang Chen's early Sword Intent development. She recognizes his initial entry into the Sword Dao, repeatedly forces him to fight seriously, and teaches him what she knows about comprehending Sword Intent. 56 71 73

Before Yang Chen's confrontation with Lei Xiong, she lends him a large quantity of pills and other resources on credit, accepting his promise to repay double their market value. The supplied Profound Heaven Spirit Cleansing Pills and Vitality Pills leave Yang Chen owing 22,400 Spirit Crystals. 68 69

Appearance

Senior Sister Gu is a pink-clad young woman with a delicate, doll-like appearance that contrasts sharply with both her commercial bluntness and swordsmanship.

• Delicate facial features and pale skin described as porcelain-like. 51
• Long black hair worn loose. 51
• Long eyelashes and clear black eyes with a mischievous glint. 51
• Usually wears pink; during her serious combat state, her expression and bearing become cold and razor-sharp. 51 93

Personality

Senior Sister Gu is openly money-minded, excitable around wealthy customers, and unconcerned with appearing professional. She calls prospective buyers “fat sheep,” sleeps sprawled across the pavilion counter, and measures Yang Chen's reliability partly through his apparent ability to produce Spirit Crystals. 51 68

Despite her greed, she is straightforward in business and unusually trusting toward Yang Chen. She lends him expensive cultivation resources without collateral, believing he will repay her rather than renege on their agreement. 68 69

She suffers from pronounced memory lapses, forgetting Yang Chen and other recent events until consulting the memo she carries in her storage ring. However, she can also become startlingly focused: when provoked during the Demon Suppressing Tower competition, her usual dazed, innocent demeanor gives way to an icy and intensely lethal state. 54 62 87 93

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship and Sword Intent

Senior Sister Gu is an exceptional swordswoman whose ability far exceeds that expected of an ordinary Labor Peak disciple.

• She can immediately identify Yang Chen's progress in the Sword Dao and detect his rudimentary Sword Intent. 56
• Her sparring overwhelms Yang Chen, forcing him to recognize the gap between himself and true sword geniuses. 55
• Her Sword Intent is described as having reached Perfection. 93
• At Blood Martial Seventh Level, she defeats a mid-stage third-tier vibrant tiger comparable to a True Martial Fifth Level cultivator. 93
• In her focused state, she kills the tiger after only a few breaths of combat, sheathing her sword before the beast collapses. 93

Swordsmanship Instruction

She trains Yang Chen through direct, punishing sparring rather than gentle explanation.

• Visits Yang Chen approximately once every three days for practice. 54
• Critiques flaws in his sword forms and demands that he draw his sword seriously. 54 56
• Guides his comprehension of Sword Intent over several days of intensive training. 56 71 73
• Supplies Qi and Blood Pills and Profound Heaven Spirit Cleansing Pills to sustain Yang Chen's training. 56 69

• Shi Wuhua — Referred to as her aunt in their hostile exchange; Shi Wuhua calls Gu You her “dear niece” while addressing Gu You's colder state as something that should not exist. 80
• Zhang Zhixian — Competitive rival during the Demon Suppressing Tower assessment. Both clear the fourteenth floor, though Area 1 secures first place through the combined team score. 93
• Area 5 disciples — Teammates who admire her strength and blame themselves when their lower scores cost Area 5 first place. 93
