Appearance
Lu Xueqi is a striking young woman usually dressed in white robes, with a cold and ethereal bearing likened to a fairy beyond the mortal world. In battle, she wields the blue immortal sword Tian Ya. 27 29 40
- White robes and delicate features, often described beneath moonlight as cold and otherworldly. 29
- A blue sword aura accompanies her use of Tian Ya. 40
- Her composed expression can soften into a blush or a bright smile around Su Changqing. 27 31
Personality
Lu Xueqi is reserved, disciplined, and respectful toward her master and fellow disciples. After defeating a senior sister in sparring, she credited the victory to her opponent's forbearance rather than celebrating herself; she also solemnly accepted Shui Yue's warning not to become complacent before the tournament. 27
She is exceptionally perceptive and direct. Lu Xueqi quickly recognized that Su Changqing was concealing his true strength, saw through his feigned injury, and confronted him privately rather than accepting his excuses. 28 30 Once she understood his aspiration to cultivate quietly and aid others, she promised to protect his secret. 30
Despite her usually frosty demeanor, Lu Xueqi is deeply caring toward those close to her. She worried over Su Changqing's journey to Nine Yin Mountain, panicked when his figure vanished beneath her heavenly lightning, and wished to pursue him when he faced a demon-bat swarm alone. 13 41 56

- Qi Hao — Fellow Qingyun disciple and member of the Kong Sang Mountain expedition. He prevents Lu Xueqi from pursuing Su Changqing into the demon-bat swarm, arguing that she could hinder him instead of helping. 50 56
- Zhang Xiaofan — Fellow Qingyun disciple selected alongside Lu Xueqi, Su Changqing, and Qi Hao for the Kong Sang Mountain investigation. 50
Story Role / Major Arcs
Nine Yin Mountain
When the Qingyun Sect learned that demonic sect disciples were searching Nine Yin Mountain for a heavenly treasure, Shui Yue selected Lu Xueqi to accompany her. Lu Xueqi immediately remembered that Su Changqing had gone to the same dangerous mountain alone and worried for him. 13
Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament
While training on Sword Peak, Lu Xueqi challenged Su Changqing because she sensed he was hiding a strength comparable to her own. Their initial spar confirmed her suspicions when he effortlessly blocked her Falling Sword Technique but pretended to suffer internal injuries. 27 28
She later summoned him to Sword Peak at midnight, pressed him to explain his deception, and accepted his wish to cultivate in obscurity for the sake of helping others after attaining the Great Dao. Lu Xueqi then gave him Qing Feng and began practicing with him each night. 29 30 31
During their tournament match, Lu Xueqi used Tian Ya and unleashed the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. Su Changqing escaped the lightning, used it to guide his own breakthrough, and helped restore her spiritual energy; Lu Xueqi conceded after recognizing that her strongest technique had failed to touch him. 40 41 42
Kong Sang Mountain Expedition
Following the tournament, Lu Xueqi joined Su Changqing, Qi Hao, and Zhang Xiaofan on a Qingyun Sect assignment to investigate Wanfu Ancient Cave on Kong Sang Mountain. 50
In Heyang City, Su Changqing used the Heaven Concealing Art to shield her from unwanted attention and offered to teach it to her. 52 Later, when Su Changqing chose to lure away an immense demon-bat swarm alone, Lu Xueqi wanted to follow him despite the danger. 56
