Appearance
Yan Shaozhe is a tall, scholarly-looking middle-aged man with a refined face 7 8.
History
Yan warns his student Ma Xiaotao not to force her cultivation while her Phoenix Evil Fire is unstable. Shrek has spent years searching for a Soul Master with Ultimate Ice, the only cure he knows for her condition. When Cai Mei’er brings Dongfang Hao to Sea God Island, Yan suspects the conveniently timed discovery could be a plot against Shrek, but agrees to examine him 7.
After Dongfang’s ice suppresses Xiaotao’s flames, Yan proposes that Cai take the young man as her final disciple. He hopes to keep Dongfang at Shrek to treat Xiaotao and possibly secure his loyalty through a relationship with her. Cai then tells him that Dongfang has already refused to join the academy 8.
Yan is enraged by Dongfang’s criticism of Shrek and nearly attacks him. He backs down when Cai explains their bargain: three treasures in exchange for suppressing Xiaotao’s Evil Fire. Yan leaves the treatment to her rather than risk harming the person Xiaotao needs 9. When Xiaotao later reports that her Evil Fire has been neutralized and she has reached level 65, Yan celebrates. He still dislikes Dongfang, but acknowledges the value of his Ultimate Ice 17.
Relationships
- Ma Xiaotao — His disciple. Yan is protective of her and puts her recovery ahead of his anger at Dongfang Hao 7 9.
- Cai Mei’er — His wife in name and Shrek’s vice dean. Their marriage is strained: Cai resents his distance and avoids an affectionate gesture from him 6 8 17.
- Dongfang Hao — A prospective recruit whose Ultimate Ice can help Xiaotao. Yan admires his ability but resents his refusal to join Shrek and his criticism of the academy 8 9 17.
- Xian Lin’er — Holds an unresolved grievance against Yan and calls him faithless; the context does not explain its cause 16.
