Background

Xiao Yu is the fourth son of Xiao Clan Head Xiao Zhan. Considered untalented because he had remained at the third stage of Dou Force for years, he proposed marrying Li Qian at fifteen rather than pursuing cultivation, arguing that he could carry on the family line while his elder brothers strengthened the clan. Li Qian was the daughter of the minor Li Clan, which sought Xiao Clan protection after offending the Jia Lie Clan. 2

Li Qian gave birth to Xiao Yu’s first son, Xiao Fan. The birth activated Xiao Yu’s system reward, granting him a year of cultivation and the Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique. He then resolved to gain enough strength and reputation to marry partners who met the system’s requirements. 2 3

His strength first became publicly apparent when he defeated Jia Lie Ao with three punches during the Xiao Clan’s marketplace contest. At the subsequent coming-of-age ceremony, his three-star Dou Practitioner cultivation shocked Wutan City. 9 12

Personality

Xiao Yu is controlled, calculating, and highly conscious of power. He prefers to conceal his capabilities until revealing them offers a decisive advantage, using hints of a powerful teacher and the Xiao Clan’s hidden backing to deter opponents. 13 94

He treats marriage, business, cultivation resources, and alliances as interconnected tools for strengthening himself and the Xiao Clan. His conditions in negotiations can be blunt, as demonstrated by making Ya Fei’s marriage to him a requirement for cooperation with the Mite'er Auction House. 22

Despite this pragmatism, he is protective of relatives and people under his care. He prioritized remaining in Wutan City for Ya Fei and their unborn child, rescued Qing Lin, intervened for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li’s mercenary group, and prepared the Xiao Clan for the Soul Hall threat. 22 61 77 103
