Background / History

Yue Guan served the Pope Palace alongside Ghost Douluo as one of Pope Bibi Dong's two right-hand men. He found the Pope's extreme temperament intimidating and resented the workload that kept him from tending to flowers and plants; an inspection assignment gave him a temporary escape from her presence 25.

While traveling to inspect a Martial Soul Hall branch, he was intercepted by Yu Shuangbai, Snow Emperor, and Dugu Bo. Yue Guan immediately recognized Dugu Bo as an old rival, but refrained from attacking because Snow Emperor's presence felt more dangerous to him than even Bibi Dong's 25 26.

Yu Shuangbai proposed a trade for Yue Guan's research on rare and exotic herbs. Once shown a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the immortal herb corresponding to his martial soul and the object of his lifelong pursuit, Yue Guan agreed to provide all of his records. He handed over the notes he carried and vowed to retrieve the remainder from Martial Soul City 26 27.

Appearance

Yue Guan is first seen as an orange-clad figure flying through the sky. He has a sharp, shrill voice and is described as having an effeminate manner 25 26.

• Wears orange clothing 25
• Uses a Soul Tool to carry personal items and research notes 27
• Has blood-red eyes when enraged by Dugu Bo's mockery 26

Personality

Yue Guan is deeply devoted to flowers, plants, and rare herbs. He considers his botanical knowledge a greater source of pride than his cultivation, yet feels frustrated that few people—including Bibi Dong—value this interest 26.

He is highly cautious when faced with a superior opponent. Although he considers himself stronger than Dugu Bo in a one-on-one fight, Snow Emperor's unfathomable strength prevents him from retaliating against Dugu Bo's provocations 26.

His obsession with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum makes him unusually easy for Yu Shuangbai to negotiate with. However, he does not break his word: despite being allowed to hold the flower before fully delivering his records, he solemnly promises to complete their agreement 27 28.
