Background / History

Rescuing and Raising Luo Xuan

Yue Guan rescued Luo Xuan after Tang Hao destroyed the infant’s village and killed his parents. Luo Xuan’s parents had hidden him underground, but the attack’s residual shockwaves still left him near death with extensive internal injuries. Yue Guan brought him back to Spirit Hall and raised him 1.

When six-year-old Luo Xuan awakened with only Level Three Innate Soul Power, Yue Guan attributed the poor result to his childhood injuries rather than a lack of potential. A mission from the Pope had prevented Yue Guan from personally overseeing the awakening. Afterward, he offered Luo Xuan protection, encouraged him to continue cultivating, and promised to supply whatever he needed 1.

Whale Rubber Discovery

At Luo Xuan’s request, Yue Guan obtained Millennium and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber. He initially misunderstood the request because of the substance’s aphrodisiac use, but agreed after Luo Xuan insisted that it could help him become stronger 1 4.

With Gui Mei’s help, they tested the Millennium Whale Rubber and confirmed that it strengthened Luo Xuan’s body enough to raise his estimated first-ring absorption limit from 300–400 years to 800–900 years. Yue Guan chose not to report the discovery immediately, insisting that they wait until Luo Xuan no longer needed Whale Rubber. Gui Mei agreed, prioritizing the child’s development over disclosure to the Pope 4.

First Soul Ring and Sect Negotiations

After Luo Xuan reached Level Ten, Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompanied him to the Star Dou Great Forest. They initially opposed his choice of a Blade Mantis, believing an agility-oriented skill unsuitable for his fist Martial Soul. Luo Xuan’s explanation—that closing the distance would remain useful long after an early offensive skill became obsolete—convinced them 5 6.

Yue Guan weakened a 1,200-year-old mantis for Luo Xuan to kill. During the subsequent ring absorption, he and Gui Mei shielded Luo Xuan from Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo. The confrontation ended through Luo Xuan’s proposed Whale Rubber partnership, which assigned Chrysanthemum Douluo and his associates responsibility for preparing the finished medicinal product 6 7.

After learning that Luo Xuan had also acquired an External Soul Bone, Yue Guan warned him to conceal it. He acknowledged that he and Gui Mei could not protect the boy from every faction within Spirit Hall 8.

Academy Enrollment and Bibi Dong’s Attention

Yue Guan arranged Luo Xuan’s enrollment at Spirit Hall Academy and instructed the dean to look after him. Luo Xuan’s unexpectedly rapid cultivation attracted Bibi Dong’s attention, and he later used Yue Guan’s supposed medicinal preparations as an explanation for his growth during her interrogation 9 11.

Investigating news of Luo Xuan’s duel with Yan, Yue Guan accidentally witnessed Bibi Dong holding Luo Xuan on her lap and massaging him. He initially thought he was dreaming, then went to tell Gui Mei rather than bear the dangerous secret alone 13 15.

Bibi Dong caught the pair discussing the incident and ordered them to summon the Elder Hall’s elders. Yue Guan subsequently supported the claim that Luo Xuan had reached Rank Twenty during the debate over his appointment as Holy Son 18 19. His and Gui Mei’s apparent absence from Luo Xuan’s next ring hunt later became part of the bait used to draw out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s assassins 20.

Appearance

• Blond hair and an alluring, swaying gait 1.
• Feminine mannerisms, including a smile described as feminine 5.
• Bibi Dong describes him as more feminine than herself; the narration nevertheless explicitly identifies him as a man 1 18.

Personality

Yue Guan is openly affectionate and protective toward Luo Xuan. He does not withdraw his care after the child’s disappointing awakening, and his decision to conceal Whale Rubber’s effects demonstrates that personal attachment can outweigh his official loyalty. His concern becomes especially pronounced when Luo Xuan attempts a dangerous Thousand-Year first ring 1 4 6.

His guardianship combines fussing, teasing, and strict expectations. He worries over Luo Xuan’s choices but accepts reasoned explanations, and he insists that future soul-beast hunts should develop the boy’s own combat experience rather than dependence on powerful protectors 6.

He is also excitable and indiscreet around Gui Mei. His repeated account of Bibi Dong’s private interaction with Luo Xuan gets him caught gossiping, after which he is visibly relieved to receive an assignment rather than punishment 15 18.
