Background / History

Spirit Academy Arrangement

Yue Guan reports Qian Renchuan’s refusal to cultivate to Qian Xunji and persuades the angry Pope to try an academy environment rather than confront his son directly. He suggests that watching ambitious peers train and compete might awaken Renchuan’s pride. Although Yue Guan warns that the boy has no Soul Rings and could be bullied, Qian Xunji embraces that possibility and orders him to arrange provocations, provided nobody dies 10.

The following morning, Yue Guan delivers the enrollment order, waits while Renchuan packs bedding, tableware, and a recliner, and escorts him to join his siblings. At Spirit Academy, he warns the children that Spirit Hall will not intervene if they cause trouble or are bullied, then hands them over to the academy chiefs 11 12.

Yue Guan becomes the intermediary for reports of Renchuan’s unexpected victories. He tells Qian Xunji about the boy defeating a level-21 Soul Grandmaster with one punch, then later wakes the Pope to report that Renchuan has beaten more than a dozen attackers without using his Martial Soul. The Pope praises Yue Guan’s academy proposal and orders further provocations; Yue Guan complies while privately worrying for the boy 17 18 27 28.

Whale Rubber Reward

After Renchuan’s nighttime victory, Yue Guan visits the academy to ask what reward he wants. He initially does not recognize “Whale Rubber,” but identifies it from Renchuan’s description as a foul-smelling material neglected in Spirit Hall’s storeroom. He does not press the boy for an explanation and reports the request to Qian Xunji, who authorizes the entire supply 30.

Yue Guan delivers all the stored Whale Rubber that afternoon. Renchuan subsequently shares it with his younger siblings, and Qian Renxue credits it with strengthening her body enough to absorb her unusually old first Soul Ring 31 45.

Star Dou Great Forest Expedition

With Qian Daoliu in seclusion, Qian Xunji sends Yue Guan and Gui Mei to escort the three children on their Soul Ring hunt. Renchuan’s insistence on sightseeing turns an expected journey of just over half a month into a month and a half. The elders are surprised that Renxue and Huo Yuhao accept the detours, but become relieved to see the normally driven children enjoy themselves 41 42.

Yue Guan strongly objects when Renxue requests a thousand-year first ring and a two-thousand-year second ring. He and Gui Mei consider substituting younger beasts, but her knowledge of Light Butterflies prevents that deception. Acting under her grandfather’s stated approval, they clear away the colony’s ordinary butterflies, cripple her chosen target, and monitor the dangerous absorption 42 44.

After Renxue succeeds, Yue Guan helps establish a defensive perimeter and catches fish at Huo Yuhao’s request. He and Gui Mei also take turns keeping watch over the camp 45 46.

Huo Yuhao’s Departure

When Gui Mei returns with Renchuan but without Huo Yuhao, Yue Guan demands an explanation and immediately proposes pursuing the missing child. Renchuan stops him and accepts responsibility, while Renxue supports allowing their youngest brother to leave. Yue Guan and Gui Mei reluctantly continue the hunt, anxious about both Huo Yuhao’s safety and the Pope’s reaction 50.

Renxue later promises that she and Renchuan will take responsibility, but the elders insist that the failure was theirs. Their anxiety eases after both siblings demonstrate exceptional Soul Ring achievements; they expect those successes to soften Qian Xunji’s anger 51 55.

Renchuan’s Soul Rings and Return

Yue Guan intervenes after Dugu Xin and his wife have badly wounded a roughly 1,500-year-old Scale Armor Beast. He presents his intervention as saving them, strikes the beast, and lets Renchuan finish it for his first Soul Ring. The couple cannot challenge his overwhelming strength 52.

During the subsequent hunt, Yue Guan and Gui Mei guard Renchuan as he absorbs a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear’s ring. When the boy collapses afterward, they examine his body and discover extraordinarily strong flesh and meridians rather than an absorption injury; he has simply fallen asleep from exhaustion. Yue Guan later witnesses his destructive second Soul Skill and recognizes that he has reached rank 29 62 63 64.

Back in Spirit City, Yue Guan follows Renchuan and Renxue when they investigate two crying children. When a Spirit Hall steward dismisses them, he reveals their identities and forces the steward to his knees with Titled Douluo pressure 65.

Appearance

• Feminine attire and manner: Wears his usual feminine clothing when departing for the forest and smiles with a feminine air 41.
• Recognizable clothing: A low-ranking Spirit Hall steward identifies him by his unmistakable attire 65.

Personality

Yue Guan is deferential but capable of offering practical alternatives to the Pope’s anger. His academy proposal relies on competition and pride rather than direct punishment, though he recognizes its risks. Even as a Titled Douluo, he sweats and speaks cautiously before an enraged Qian Xunji 10.

His treatment of the children combines indulgence with genuine caution. He accommodates Renchuan’s unusual requests, but firmly protests Soul Ring choices that he believes could kill or cripple Renxue. After Huo Yuhao leaves, his concern for the child is inseparable from his fear of failing the Pope’s orders 30 42 50.

His loyalty can also be domineering toward outsiders. He takes the Dugu couple’s wounded prey while describing the act as protection, and threatens the steward who speaks disrespectfully to the Pope’s children 52 65.
