Background

Gu Yuan sent Xun Er to the Xiao Family in Wutan City when she was four years old, officially to recover the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Although she lived away from the Ancient Clan for years, her cultivation resources never ceased; she had been supplied with high-grade pills and rare treasures since before her birth. 176 294

During her time with the Xiao Family, Xun Er formed a deep bond with Xiao Yan. She remained beside him through his period of lost talent and defended him during Nalan Yanran's annulment of their engagement, frightening Misty Cloud Sect deacon Ge Ye with the flame that flashed in her eyes. 10

Her Ancient Clan heritage eventually forced her return. Gu Yuan granted her an additional year with Xiao Yan before ordering her home to receive her inheritance; she left Jia Nan Academy after spending her remaining time with him. 150 179

Appearance

Xun Er is repeatedly depicted as a graceful, exceptionally beautiful young woman, most often dressed in green. Her normally gentle presentation contrasts sharply with the imposing aura she shows when angered or exercising her authority. 111 178 358

• Usually wears green dresses or gowns. 15 234
• Her eyes can flash with golden flame when she is provoked or uses her power. 10 165 295
• Seven-colored Ancient Clan markings appeared on her brow after her Divine Bloodline awakening. 297

Personality

Xun Er is devoted and openly protective toward Xiao Yan. She worries over the dangers of his cultivation, waits for him during long periods of seclusion, and consistently affirms that she will support him regardless of the gap between their clans or cultivation. 20 176 179

Despite her soft manner around Xiao Yan, she is stern, decisive, and conscious of her status when dealing with the Ancient Clan. She ordered Ling Quan out of Jia Nan Academy for disturbing her, severed his arm after he admitted that the elders had ignored her request for medicinal materials, and accepted the consequences imposed on him by the accompanying elder. 178

She also shows independence beyond her relationship with Xiao Yan. While he was away on Soul Hall business, she returned to Wutan City twice on her own because she missed him, and she intends to remain both the Ancient Clan's leader and the Xiao Clan leader's wife. 325 342
