Background / History

The Old Butler initially serves Lu Mingchuan at Lu Mansion. He is tasked with sourcing 999 dew-covered roses for Lu Mingchuan's planned confession, but reports that the requested flowers cannot be procured. He instead helps gather flowers from the estate and uses a storage soul tool to transport them, pledging to protect his young master with his life 2.

During the confrontation with Yu Xiaogang in Spirit City, he stands directly between Lu Mingchuan and danger, prevents Yu Xiaogang from touching his master, and restrains Lu Mingchuan when the latter performs an emotional outburst 4 6.

When Lu Mingchuan begins a new script identity, the butler changes with him. He becomes a Level 79 Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, wielding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, while his loyalty to Lu Mingchuan remains unchanged 21. He immediately proposes assassinating Yu Xiaogang so that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect could fall to Lu Mingchuan in the future 21.

Appearance

Initially presented as an aged man with a wrinkled face, the Old Butler becomes noticeably more vigorous after his soul power is boosted 2 21.

• Often wears the appearance and manner of an elderly household steward.
• Displays a doting smile when attending to Lu Mingchuan 4.
• Has a heavily muscled upper body when revealing his soul power 26.
• When his martial soul manifests, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon coils around his body like a tattoo 26.

Personality

The Old Butler is intensely loyal, protective, and eager to assist Lu Mingchuan regardless of the role the latter is assigned. His loyalty persists through the script change that transforms him from a household retainer into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect elder 2 21.

He is also overly enthusiastic about Lu Mingchuan's romantic affairs. He offers to introduce potential partners, presses Lu Mingchuan to choose a woman to pursue, and once attempts to greet him with an embrace 14 20. Lu Mingchuan considers him dependable but eccentric, particularly because of his tendency to lecture him about the “Wolf Warrior Sutra” 14.

His protectiveness can override Lu Mingchuan's intended performance. When Yu Xiaogang tries to approach Lu Mingchuan as his “cousin,” the Old Butler kicks Yu away before Lu Mingchuan can carry out his planned act 22.
