• Distinguishing features: Dark markings visible on his neck and cheeks 3.

Personality

Gui Mei’s loyalty to Qian Xunji rests on both practical benefits and shared ideals. Better cultivation resources helped draw him to Spirit Hall, but its free Martial Soul awakenings, commoner subsidies, and Qian Xunji’s ambition for peace gave him reasons for wholehearted service. Qian Xunji’s decision to remain in a plague-stricken town further deepened his respect 4 5.

Protective and conscious of danger, he repeatedly urges Qian Xunji to avoid unnecessary risks. After becoming separated from him during a beast tide, Gui Mei accepts punishment without protest and blames himself for allowing the young master to retreat alone 5 9 12 13.

His severe demeanor does not exclude humor or consideration. He enjoys teasing Qian Xunji’s youthful romantic behavior, and his respect for Ah Yin survives the discovery that she is a transformed Soul Beast 4 7 22.

History

Guarding Spirit Hall’s Young Master

Gui Mei joined Spirit Hall in his early years. Qian Daoliu later assigned him and Yue Guan to protect Qian Xunji during a Soul Ring hunt near the Star Dou Great Forest. They witnessed Ah Yin rescue a commoner and guarded Qian Xunji while he absorbed a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring 3 4.

When the group entered a plague-stricken town, Gui Mei initially recommended leaving for safety. After Qian Xunji refused, he remained as his guard while Yue Guan fetched medical assistance. Gui Mei supplied Qian Xunji with a silk face covering, kicked open the secluded mayor’s door, and intimidated the official while Qian Xunji took charge of relief efforts. After the epidemic ended, he drove the carriage carrying Qian Xunji away from town 5 8.

Beast Tide and Search

Gui Mei accompanied Qian Xunji to observe Spirit Hall’s hunt for an Angel Unicorn. He and Yue Guan persuaded him not to advance farther into the dangerous inner forest. The Soft Bone Rabbit’s heavenly tribulation nevertheless triggered a beast tide that reached their position 9 10.

As flying Soul Beasts attacked, Gui Mei escorted Qian Xunji away before turning back to hold off their pursuers. He and Yue Guan escaped but lost contact with their charge. Mighty Lion Douluo struck both men and ordered them back into the forest; they pledged to atone with their lives if Qian Xunji suffered harm 10 12.

During the search, Gui Mei openly regretted leaving Qian Xunji alone. Yue Guan eventually located the young master after a day and a night, then used his Martial Soul Avatar to summon Gui Mei. The reunited group returned to Spirit City 13 15.

Service Under the Pope

Following Qian Xunji’s accession as Pope, Gui Mei and Yue Guan became his principal aides. Their assignments included searching for Ah Rou and Ah Yin. They eventually found Ah Yin traveling with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao outside Suotuo City 16.

When Ah Yin refused their invitation, Gui Mei advised against taking her by force, citing Qian Xunji’s instruction not to hurt her. They reported her refusal and received orders to monitor her and the Tang brothers. Qian Xunji later rewarded their service with soul bones, prompting both men to swear lifelong loyalty 17 20.

Ah Yin’s Return to Spirit City

After reaching Titled Douluo, Gui Mei accompanied Qian Xunji to intervene in the pursuit of Ah Yin. Discovering her Soul Beast identity shocked him, but he showed concern rather than the greed displayed by other Soul Masters. He continued addressing her respectfully and reassured her that Tang Hao would be returned safely to the Clear Sky Sect 21 22.

Gui Mei settled Ah Yin in a secluded residence, arranged guards, and reported that visitors required Qian Xunji’s written authorization. He also relayed the discovery of a nearly hundred-thousand-year Holy Light Spirit Deer. When Qian Xunji departed to hunt it, Gui Mei remained in Spirit City to watch over Ah Yin 23.

During the celebrations for Bibi Dong’s appointment as Holy Maiden, Gui Mei accompanied Qian Xunji and Ah Yin through the festive streets. He purchased food on command and nearly revealed Qian Xunji’s identity by addressing him as Pope before correcting himself to “Young Master” 25.

Relationships

• Qian Xunji — His charge and later sovereign. Gui Mei admires his ideals, protects him in battle, and pledges to follow him unto death after receiving a soul bone 4 10 20.
• Yue Guan — Fellow bodyguard and principal aide. They coordinate defense, searches, and sensitive assignments, with familiar banter accompanying their cooperation 5 10 13 17.
• Ah Yin — Respects her for rescuing a commoner and helping during the epidemic. Her Soul Beast identity does not erase his favorable impression; he later serves as her escort and oversees her guarded residence 17 22 23.
• Qian Daoliu — Assigns Gui Mei to protect Qian Xunji. Gui Mei observes his authority and withdraws when Qian Daoliu signals that he should leave 3 23.
• Mighty Lion Douluo — Reprimands and physically punishes him for losing Qian Xunji, then directs the search for the missing young master 12.
