Personality
Xie Xie is energetic, sharp-tongued, and openly expressive. He approaches Tang Wulin with a “signature, punchable grin,” jokes about his feelings, and personally gathers information from upperclassmen to help him pursue Senior Ouyang. 32
He is confident in a fight but recognizes overwhelming strength when he sees it. After witnessing Xiao Mu's power in the Spirit Ascension Platform, he treats the source of Xiao Mu's disturbance as a safe place to regroup, while acknowledging that Xiao Mu is on another level from the group. 34 His habit of speaking before thinking occasionally earns him physical reprimands, such as when he teases Xiao Mu about Xu Xiaoyan. 53
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
