Background & History

Pei Yuesheng is a scion of the Pei Family, one of Jizhou's foremost noble families. In his youth, he and Cui Jingxian were known as the “Twin Stars of Jizhou”: Pei reached Viscera Refinement at his capping ceremony and peak Marrow Cleansing by age twenty. Cui later became a Blood Replacement Martial Saint, gained the title of Pride Sun Martial Saint, and was appointed Governor of the Demon Suppression Division, leaving Pei overshadowed. 85 130

His rivalry with Cui Jingxian shaped both his public restraint and his ambition. Pei's family lost ground to the Cui Family after Cui's rise, including control of Jizhou's Marrow Cleansing Pill business. Pei later declared that the Pei Family would “once again be glorious,” while his third grandfather acknowledged that he had been suppressing his cultivation and plotting in secret for years. 130 141

As Mission Hall Master, Pei cultivated a reputation for guiding talented newcomers, particularly those of humble origins. He distributed missions, offered cultivation advice, rewarded achievement, and publicly promoted promising officers. However, many of the prodigies he supported failed to advance far, and his apparent generosity toward Chu Feng concealed a scheme to place lethal venomous insects within him. 85 86 100

Appearance

Pei Yuesheng is a refined young man who stands apart from the militaristic Demon Suppression Division through his scholar-like white clothing and composed bearing. 102

• Usually wears spotless white robes. 102 129
• Carries a jade tablet at his waist. 130
• Is often described as polished, gentle, and scholarly in demeanor. 86 130
• Maintains an outwardly calm expression even during dangerous confrontations. 103 141

Personality

Pei presents himself as an approachable elder and patron of young talent. He gives patient instruction, rewards promising officers, and speaks with cultivated warmth; this image earned him a reputation for being amiable within the Demon Suppression Division. 83 85 86

Behind this persona, Pei is calculating, controlling, and deeply ambitious. He covertly bound Chu Feng with poisonous insects, tested him repeatedly, and invested heavily in Liu Shengjie while observing him with the anticipation of a farmer regarding a valuable medicinal herb. His long-standing resentment toward Cui Jingxian also drives his determination to restore the Pei Family's standing. 84 130 141 143

Pei can be ruthless when acting in an official capacity. He led the extermination of the Sky Blade Alliance, personally shattered its gates with sword energy, and severely wounded its leader Yang Lie. 102 103 107

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment and Cui Pinghao's Duel

Pei hosted Chu Feng, Cui Pinghao, and Ma An at the Golden Barrel Tavern, where he assessed Chu's physical strength and offered valuable rewards for a spar between Chu and Cui. When Chu's Celestial Fox Divine Power threatened Cui's life, Pei intervened and ended the duel. 79 82

The Poisoned Patronage

After the duel, Pei presented Chu with healing medicine and publicly praised his talent. The medicine secretly carried three venomous insects, forcing Chu to hide his Viscera Refinement cultivation to avoid losing control of his body. 83 84 85

Mission Hall Control

As Mission Hall Master, Pei personally instructed new recruits, assigned Chu Feng a dangerous bandit-slaying mission, and promoted or rewarded officers under his authority. His preferential treatment of Chu provoked Liu Shengjie's jealousy. 86 100

Sky Blade Alliance Extermination

Pei led the Demon Suppression Division's assault on the Sky Blade Alliance after its use of children to refine evil pills was exposed. He broke through the stronghold's gates with sword energy and confronted Yang Lie and the Demonic Beasts deployed by the alliance. 102 103 107

Break with Chu Feng

Pei believed Chu's internal injuries had ruined his future, only to discover during Liu Shengjie's challenge that Chu had actually reached Marrow Cleansing. Their subsequent clash exposed Chu's deception, but Cui Jingxian's arrival prevented Pei from pressing the confrontation further. 101 146 147

Celestial Ambition

Within the restricted Bamboo Garden of the Pei Estate, Pei continued refining the Spirit Devouring Nine Annihilation Pill while keeping Liu Shengjie in seclusion as a cultivated subordinate. His declared objective is to use the divine elixir as the foundation for becoming a Celestial Being. 154
