Background / History

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin have maintained an annual Brotherhood Day for two years, setting cultivation and missions aside to spend the day together. Gu Yue’s increasing presence in Tang Wulin’s life repeatedly disrupts these plans, leaving Xie Xie resentful of what he sees as preferential treatment. 1 4

His jealousy affects more than his mood: while distracted by Tang Wulin serving Gu Yue food, he performs at less than thirty percent of his usual standard in mecha combat training and receives a harsh reprimand from Wu Zhangkong. 2

Despite frequent quarrels with Gu Yue, Xie Xie remains embedded in the group’s daily life—joining outings, training sessions, meals, and errands. He is often drafted into carrying shopping bags or paying for food, usually after being baited by pride or Tang Wulin’s leverage over forging work. 2 3 5 9 16

Personality

Xie Xie is outspoken, prideful, and easily provoked, particularly where Tang Wulin’s attention toward Gu Yue is concerned. He tends to complain theatrically about being ignored, exploited as a bag carrier, or excluded from Tang Wulin’s plans. 1 2 3 5

He enjoys teasing others and escalating arguments for amusement, from recording Le Zhengyu’s private rant to provoking Ye Xinglan online. His lack of tact repeatedly puts him in danger with Gu Yue, though he can recognize when he has crossed a line and apologize. 11 24 41 106

In combat, his bravado gives way to opportunism. Rather than face stronger opponents directly, he relies on mobility, improvised tools, misdirection, and retreat—tactics that proved effective against Ye Xinglan. 36

Story Role / Major Arcs

Gu Yue’s Arrival and Brotherhood Day

Xie Xie openly protests Tang Wulin’s willingness to bring Gu Yue breakfast and recounts how their friendship routines have been interrupted since her arrival. He reluctantly shares Brotherhood Day with Gu Yue, but eventually accepts her participation while insisting that the following year should belong only to him and Tang Wulin. 1 4

Group Errands and Domestic Misadventures

He is repeatedly turned into the group’s reluctant helper: carrying Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan’s purchases, restocking Gu Yue’s snacks, funding meals after boasting about his wealth, and being persuaded into outings through Tang Wulin’s forging. 2 3 5 9 16

His own attempts at domestic usefulness are less successful; his breakfast is so badly burnt that the group orders buns instead. 22

Rivalry with Gu Yue

Xie Xie’s taunts toward Gu Yue often trigger retaliatory pranks or direct pursuit. After insulting her cold demeanor, he endures an extremely spicy chili sauce before accepting her cooling soup and seeking her recipe through a sparring wager. 17

He later interrupts Gu Yue’s romantic drama, leaves fried skewers where she can find them, tracks mud across her polished floor, and mentions Dai Yuner in front of her—each incident ending with Xie Xie fleeing Gu Yue’s anger. 25 42 43 83 106

Defeat of Ye Xinglan

When Ye Xinglan challenges him, Xie Xie refuses a conventional duel. He uses flash and smoke grenades, perfume, lubricant, and relentless evasive tactics to humiliate her without receiving serious injury himself. 36

Later, after Ye Xinglan takes out her frustration on him, he redirects her toward challenging a Soul Beast in Star Dou Forest rather than continuing their fight. 70

Trivia

• He once thought Gu Yue invited him to barbecue because of his personal charm; she had actually invited him to pay the bill. 5
• He is aware of Gu Yue’s enormous snack stash beneath her bed and is astonished by her appetite. 3
• His stated specialty is running away. 70
• After Gu Yue chases him over his mention of Dai Yuner, he concludes that survival requires keeping quiet, running quickly, and staying away from Gu Yue’s broom. 106
