Background / History

At the Xiao Clan’s annual test, she demonstrates the clan’s highest recorded result among the younger generation: Ninth Stage Dou Qi. She and Xiao Yan are both stunned when Xiao Meng reveals his concealed physical strength by defeating the other participants. 7 8

Following Nalan Yanran’s visit, Xun'er initially believes Xiao Meng unfairly made Xiao Yan bear the marriage dispute. Once Xiao Meng reveals that he knows the cause of Xiao Yan’s cultivation regression, she becomes eager for his explanation and begins addressing him as “Third Brother” again. 15
