Background

Xun'er was left in the Xiao Family's care by her parents. She considers herself part of the family, and Xiao Zhan entrusts her with important items, including the Sacred Sun Technique scroll acquired for Xiao Yan. Her father is Gu Yuan, patriarch of the Ancient Clan. 10 12

She and Xiao Yan share a long childhood history. When Xiao Yan first began cultivating, he repeatedly tried to climb a fruit tree to pick fruit for her; his persistence and later care for her left a lasting impression. 11

Her knowledge of Nalan Yanran's apprenticeship under Yun Yun, as well as her access to extensive cultivation resources, indicate connections and information beyond the Xiao Family's ordinary reach. 10 35

Appearance

Xun'er is repeatedly depicted in green clothing and carries a poised, detached elegance likened to a newly blooming blue lotus. 4 16

• Long black hair, at times adorned with a golden ornament. 16
• Clear, lively black eyes. 11
• A refined and unworldly bearing. 4 49
• Wears a black academy-style outfit during the confrontation with Han Bo. 26

Personality

Xun'er is intelligent, well-read, and perceptive. At the Mittel Auction House, she provides informed analysis of the auction items and thoughtfully considers Xiao Yan's unconventional observations. 17

She is consistently supportive of Xiao Yan without blindly flattering him. She recognizes both his weaknesses—such as his initial lack of battle skills—and his extraordinary accomplishments, encouraging him to prepare for Canaan Academy while openly defending his reputation. 11 37 43

Her closeness with Xiao Yan is expressed through teasing, concern, and practical support. She worries that he pushes himself too hard over the Nalan engagement, but learns that his ambition reaches far beyond that conflict. 17 35

Abilities & Skills

Golden Emperor Incinerating Flame

Xun'er has possessed the Golden Emperor Incinerating Flame since childhood. The flame ranks fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking and requires advanced fire-control ability to wield effectively. 12

• Can be transferred in part to Xiao Yan through the Unity Return Art. 35
• Its overwhelming heat compresses and transforms Xiao Yan's Battle Qi during their linked cultivation. 35
• Enables difficult alchemical fusion; Xiao Yan uses its borrowed power to refine a third-grade Spirit Awakening Pill. 35

First Sun Scorching Sky

Xun'er teaches Xiao Yan First Sun Scorching Sky, an Advanced Profound Rank fire-control Dou Technique. Though it can be used offensively, it is especially valuable for flame control and alchemy. 11 12

• Uses golden light around her palm during sparring. 11
• Its strength rises with the quality of the user's flame: ordinary Dou Qi supports its base rank, Beast Flame can raise it to the rank's peak, and a Heavenly Flame can elevate it to Earth Tier-equivalent power. 12
• Its later portions are connected to the incomplete Earth-Tier technique Xiao Yan obtains from Old Man Huo. 46 50

Unity Return Art

Xun'er provides the Unity Return Art after choosing to cultivate the Sacred Sun Technique alongside Xiao Yan. 35

• Allows two users of the same cultivation method to gather their Battle Qi within one body. 35
• Temporarily grants power beyond either participant's normal level. 35
• Requires Xiao Yan to receive and control Xun'er's transferred Battle Qi. 35

Sacred Sun Technique

• Enables compatibility with the Unity Return Art when paired with Xiao Yan. 35
• Refines Battle Qi through circulation and is capable of eventually reaching Earth Tier. 11

• Xiao Zhan — Treats Xun'er as family and entrusts her with the Sacred Sun Technique scroll intended for Xiao Yan. 10
• Xiao Yu — Fellow Xiao Family member and Canaan Academy applicant. Xun'er reassures her about academy registration and later accompanies her with Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor. 36 37
• Little Fairy Doctor — Travels and prepares for Inner Academy entry alongside Xun'er and Xiao Yan; Xun'er immediately notices that her cultivation is unusually high. 36 41
