Background

Ye Renxin is the patriarch of the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan, whose martial soul has been inherited for more than a thousand years. He is a renowned physician and a support-type Soul Master; while knowledgeable and respected, he depends on allies for soul-beast hunts because he possesses no combat power of his own 18.

The Nine-Heart Begonia lineage is bound by a curse: only two wielders may exist at once, and the birth of one requires another family member's death. Ye Renxin's father willingly died before his birth, while his mother followed in grief soon afterward. When Ye Ziyi was born, Ye Renxin's grandfather died 19.

He became Dugu Bo's long-standing friend, sharing an unspoken understanding over the burdens carried by their respective families. Dugu Bo helped him obtain his Soul Sage ring, leaving Ye Renxin indebted to him 16 18 22 26.

Ye Renxin is an older, white-haired man. He is over fifty but not yet sixty during the period following his advancement to Soul Sage 26 34 37.

• White hair 26
• Elderly patriarch of the Ye Family 18 37
• His vitality is described as declining with age despite his Soul Sage cultivation 34

Personality

Ye Renxin is learned, perceptive, and generous with his knowledge. On meeting Xia Mu, he immediately recognizes the boy's unusually strong vitality, dense soul power, and solid foundation; he then gifts him the Immortal Herb Catalogue to encourage his curiosity about medicinal herbs 18.

He is also shrewd and pragmatic. His proposed marriage alliance between Ye Ziyi and Xia Mu is motivated by the families' commercial ties, his daughter's affection, Xia Mu's extraordinary potential, and the need to secure the Ye Family's future after his death 34 37.

As a father, Ye Renxin is deeply protective of Ye Ziyi. He hides the clan curse from her so she can live happily, but openly weeps when Xia Mu's gift offers the possibility of ending the curse in her generation 19 37.
