Background / History
Zhong Qing is Zhong Yong’s great-granddaughter and Zhong Cheng’s elder sister. She first approaches Wang Xuan as the representative of New Star, a youth-oriented organization that recruits exceptional people; she offers to evaluate his strength and proposes the Serpent Crane Eight Scattered Hands as a reward for participating. Wang Xuan declines the offer. 69 70
Her family’s resources make her a significant figure among the Zaibatsu descendants. The Zhong Family has a major stake in the development of Super Material Armor, and Zhong Qing immediately recognizes both the armor and its wearer—her younger brother—during Wang Xuan’s confrontation with the assembled factions. 77 89
She enters the Secret Land alongside the Zhong Family expedition. Having prepared extensively, she hides spiked Sun Gold plates beneath her clothing for protection; the armor proves effective enough to alter the course of an encounter. 141 146 She later exchanges part of the Zhong Family’s inheritance for access to the Earth Immortal Spring, providing the Five-Colored Golden Elixir Primordial Spirit Art as an initial payment. 169 181
After the decline of the supernatural era, Zhong Qing is separated from Zhong Cheng and Zhong Yong. She eventually reunites with them and Wang Xuan in the transcendent world, having regained her youthful appearance and become an Immortal. 860 1066
Appearance
Zhong Qing is tall, slender, and graceful, usually appearing without makeup. Her face is repeatedly described as pure, delicate, and beautiful, while her clear eyes and calm manner give her an outwardly gentle presence. 69 77 1066
- Barefaced, with a clean and refined appearance. 69 1066
- Tall and elegant in posture. 69 77
- Retains a youthful appearance after becoming an Immortal. 1066
- Conceals defensive equipment beneath her clothing when entering dangerous territory. 141 146
Personality
Zhong Qing presents herself as calm, polite, and soft-spoken, but Wu Yin warns that her harmless appearance conceals a far more calculating nature. She is perceptive, composed under ordinary circumstances, and capable of taking advantage of the Zhong Family’s extensive resources. 69 146
She is also proud and easily embarrassed when publicly humiliated. Her rivalry with Wu Yin becomes especially heated after Wang Xuan accidentally destroys her dress during their confrontation, while the discovery of her Secret Land diet leaves her mortified. 78 180
Despite her guardedness, Zhong Qing is attentive to Wang Xuan’s actions and potential. She suspects that his confidence in Earth Immortal City cannot be explained merely by Old Chen’s support, and she later continues following news of him. 189 224
