Background / History

Jingliu was summoned by Xu Tianming through the Stellaron using Wish Power. She retained her swordsmanship and battlefield experience as the High-Cloud Quintet’s foremost swordmaster, but arrived without her original star-severing power, Path Power, or Mara-Struck condition. Her summoned form was stated to be comparable to a Limit Douluo and capable of further growth 27.

Xu Tianming asked her to teach him swordsmanship, close-quarters combat, and battlefield experience. Jingliu accepted immediately, then agreed to establish an organization independent of both Xu Tianming and the Sun Moon Empire: the Fools, dedicated to eliminating Rift Realms and protecting civilians 27 28.

As the Fools’ first executive officer, codenamed [Swordhead], Jingliu took responsibility for recruitment, training, operations, and the organization’s early development. She began Xu Tianming’s training with ten thousand daily repetitions of fundamental sword movements, correcting even minor flaws without leniency 28.

Jingliu later assumed management of Hearth House, the Fools’ first base. With Karna’s support, she accepted orphans from slums, battlefields, wars, and Rift Realm disasters, offering them shelter while demanding that they become strong enough to survive 29 31.

While in Mingdu, Jingliu rescued Nana from Holy Spirit Cult evil soul masters and prevented the cult from taking her away. When further cult operatives infiltrated Hearth House, Jingliu killed them with a single sword attack after warning them not to disturb the sleeping children 34. Her actions drew the attention of Mingdu’s major powers, but Hearth House was subsequently recognized by the Sun Moon Empire as a legal orphanage 35.

Appearance

Jingliu is a beautiful woman with a cold, moonlike bearing. Her appearance combines flowing blue ceremonial clothing with martial accessories, reflecting both elegance and lethality 27.

• Long silver-white hair fading into cool blue at the ends, gathered into a circular bun with a teal ribbon 27.
• Cold red eyes, usually covered by a black blindfold engraved with a silver moon 27.
• A faintly glowing, teardrop-shaped dark-blue earring on her right ear 27.
• Sky-blue and smoky-blue robes embroidered with cloud patterns and geometric designs 27.
• A silver shoulder guard, flower-embroidered cuffs, flowing ribbons marked with lunar phases, and epiphyllum ornaments 27.
• Carries an ice-blue longsword whose blade resembles condensed moonlight 28.

Personality

Jingliu is calm, emotionally restrained, and exceptionally direct. She agreed to Xu Tianming’s requests without dramatics, judging his ambition by whether he was genuinely willing to protect others rather than merely pursue power 27 28.

As a teacher, she is uncompromising. She demands precision, endurance, and absolute commitment from Xu Tianming, believing that a swordsman’s defeat begins the moment their form falls apart or they let go of their weapon 28. Her standards are severe enough that she considers ten years of childhood training sufficient only to become a “qualified” swordsman 29.

Despite her detachment from Mingdu’s political struggles, Jingliu takes promises seriously and shows a quiet protective instinct toward the vulnerable. She runs Hearth House, teaches its children, and reacts decisively when the Holy Spirit Cult threatens them 34 35.
