Background / History

As a child, Xiao Yu was injured by a Red Wolf while playing in the Xiao Clan's back mountains. Xiao Tianci found her while gathering medicinal herbs and carried her back to the clan over four hours. The incident began their close friendship. Although Xiao Yu later displayed exceptional talent and entered Canaan Academy, she did not distance herself from him; Xiao Tianci instead withdrew due to his inferiority complex. 6

After returning from Canaan Academy, Xiao Yu is startled but pleased by Xiao Tianci's changed appearance and confidence. When he asks for cultivation funds, she entrusts him with all 1,500 gold coins she has saved. 6

Xiao Yu later becomes a target of the Jialie Clan after severely injuring Jialie Ao for harassing her in Wutan City's marketplace. Five death warriors infiltrate the Xiao Clan to abduct her. Outmatched by the attackers, she attempts to call for help before being incapacitated; Xiao Tianci intervenes, eliminates the intruders, and retaliates against the Jialie Clan. Xiao Yu suspects that the mysterious rescuer was him. 20 23 24 25
