Background / History
Yue Guan arrives at the Martial Soul Hall branch with Bibi Dong and Gui Mei after Cen Yu's innate soul power attracts the Pope Palace's attention. He witnesses Cen Yu reveal the malevolent form of his martial soul, World-Ending Heavenly Mother, whose aura frightens even the martial souls of the assembled powerful soul masters. 2
After Cen Yu's village is found destroyed, Yue Guan handles practical arrangements for the burials, bringing coffins and specifically securing the two finest ones for Cen Yu's parents. 3
He accompanies Bibi Dong and Cen Yu into the Star Dou Forest for Cen Yu's first two soul rings. Yue Guan advises choosing rings that emphasize strength, soul power, mental power, or defense rather than either of Cen Yu's opposing holy and evil attributes. He later remains behind to guard Cen Yu during the absorption of the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff's soul ring. 4 6
Yue Guan spars with Cen Yu after the latter gains Lotus Rebirth: Sinful Mother. He initially underestimates the Soul Grand Master and is nearly struck by a spear attack powerful enough to leave a crater several meters wide. Bibi Dong reprimands him for his lapse, while Cen Yu defends him, saying Yue Guan had only held back out of concern for the child. 6
Though reluctant, Yue Guan assists Cen Yu in assassinating Li Wuming and Wang Xiao after overhearing the couple's plan to kill Cen Yu. Cen Yu then fabricates Clear Sky Sect evidence at the scene; Yue Guan later reports the incident to Bibi Dong, who publicly orders an investigation while recognizing her disciple's scheme. 17 18
During the earthquake disaster, Yue Guan remains at Cen Yu's side as the latter exhausts himself saving civilians. He protects the unconscious Cen Yu from an approaching crowd, then learns they have come to offer food, water, and gratitude rather than cause harm. 25 26
He continues to accompany Cen Yu on expeditions, including the second exploration of the Star Dou Forest and the journey toward Slaughter City. When Cen Yu gifts him the immortal herb Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Yue Guan is overwhelmed by excitement. 27 30
Personality
Yue Guan is intensely loyal to Bibi Dong and habitually defers to her authority, even when placed in uncomfortable situations. He and Gui Mei often try to navigate the Pope's moods without becoming targets of her displeasure. 4 9
He is protective of Cen Yu despite frequently being exasperated by him. Yue Guan guards Cen Yu during dangerous soul-ring absorption, worries about his physical condition after the disaster-relief efforts, and joins Cen Yu on missions partly out of fear that the boy could be killed if left unguarded. 6 25 30
His caution is inconsistent: he gives thoughtful tactical advice and recognizes threats quickly, but he also underestimates Cen Yu during their spar, earning a stern lesson from Bibi Dong. 4 6
Yue Guan is reluctant to commit needless violence. He initially objects to Cen Yu's plan to murder Li Wuming and Wang Xiao, questioning both the certainty of their hostile intent and the feasibility of concealing the deaths of two Spirit Douluo. He ultimately helps after hearing the couple explicitly plan Cen Yu's assassination. 17
