Background / History

Qian Xunji is Qian Daoliu's only son and initially the designated next Pope of Spirit Hall. He closely resembles his father, but their relationship is strained by Qian Daoliu's disappointment with his comparatively slow cultivation progress. 17

After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji learned that Qian Daoliu had accepted Huo Yuhao as a disciple. Though surprised and initially displeased, he accepted Huo Yuhao as his junior martial brother; Huo Yuhao's cooking quickly helped establish their friendship. 17

Qian Xunji later married Yan Xi, the future Spirit Kite Douluo, with unusual speed. His decision was partly motivated by his wish to become Huo Yuhao's father-in-law. 39 40 They later had a daughter, Qian Renxue. 179
