Background / History

Lu Xiaofeng was an orphan who grew up drifting among casinos, brothels, and gangs. Without a famous master or systematic training, he gathered bits of boxing and palm techniques through hardship and eventually created his own martial-arts system: the Lingxi Finger. 189

He became a renowned Mingzhou wanderer known for his romantic, unrestrained manner, sharp mind, agility, and habit of involving himself in dangerous affairs. His wide circle of friends came from every walk of life. 108 116

Appearance

Lu Xiaofeng was immediately recognizable by the meticulously groomed mustache that earned him the epithet “Four Eyebrows.” 109

• His mustache was so carefully trimmed that Wen Qingkong considered it unmatched among men of the Great Xia Dynasty. 109
• He shaved it off to secure Ximen Chuixue’s help in investigating Huo Xiu’s death. 117
• He later again appeared under the identifying description “the guy with the four eyebrows” when framed in Mingzhou. 140

Personality

Lu Xiaofeng combined a playful, cynical exterior with a strong moral core. He was especially reluctant to kill; the defensive and restraining nature of Lingxi Finger reflected his belief that every life was precious. 115

He valued friendship deeply, remained respectful even toward servants, and considered betrayal a decisive end to friendship. Huo Xiu’s death and the deaths surrounding the Great Golden Roc Dynasty affair drove him to investigate despite knowing the murderer was extraordinarily dangerous. 116 144

His courage was equally defining. Even after being badly injured by Wen Qingkong and warned by Hua Manlou that he might die, Lu Xiaofeng chose to continue pursuing the truth. 148 184

Abilities & Skills

Lingxi Finger

Lu Xiaofeng’s self-created signature art combines extraordinary insight, finger force, and martial intent to identify weaknesses in an opponent’s techniques. 189

• Primarily used to restrain an enemy’s weapon rather than kill. 115
• Could snap a baby-fist-thick iron chain with two fingers and pierce a stone bench with a single touch. 140 144
• His all-out strike carried his divine intent and targeted the weak point of Wen Qingkong’s fist technique. 148 187
• It failed against Wen Qingkong’s Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art, which shattered the finger attack through superior strength and divine power. 187

Lightness Skill

Lu Xiaofeng possessed exceptional speed and mobility, described as among the best in the world. 110

• Escaped Princess Danfeng’s plea by smashing through the roof of Azure Cloud Inn and vanishing before anyone could react. 110
• Used rapid movement to pursue Gongsun Lan through a crowd after seeing through or avoiding her candied-chestnut trap. 132
• His agility was formidable, though Sikong Zhaixing was able to rescue him from Wen Qingkong through even greater speed. 148

Deduction and Investigation

Lu Xiaofeng was a capable investigator who approached mysteries through observation, composure, and logical inference. 116 189

• Investigated Huo Xiu’s ruined residence and Liu Yuhan’s corpse, connecting the victims through the same faint corpse odor. 116
• Recruited Hua Manlou to draw a portrait of the mysterious woman connected to Huo Xiu’s death. 116
• Identified Fang Yufei, Fang Yuxiang, and Bluebeard’s concealed identities from small inconsistencies at the Silver Hook Gambling House. 144
• Deduced that Wen Qingkong’s island killings targeted people capable of making decisions, correctly predicting that Duke Taiping’s Heir would be next. 186

Relationships

• Hua Manlou — Closest friend and investigative partner; Hua Manlou supported Lu Xiaofeng’s search for Huo Xiu’s murderer despite fearing for his safety. 115 116 184
• Ximen Chuixue — A powerful swordsman Lu Xiaofeng recruited to confront Wen Qingkong; Ximen agreed only after Lu Xiaofeng shaved his prized mustache. 117
• Sikong Zhaixing / Jia Leshan — A fellow Jianghu figure who rescued Lu Xiaofeng from Wen Qingkong; later regretted being too afraid to accompany him to the island. 148 184
• Wen Qingkong — Primary adversary. Lu Xiaofeng investigated Wen’s killings, opposed him at the Jeweled Splendor Pavilion, and was ultimately killed by him. 120 124 187 189
• Shangguan Feiyan — Lu Xiaofeng initially fled her plea for aid, later regretted leaving Azure Cloud Inn, and chose to help her reclaim the Great Golden Roc Dynasty’s treasure. 110 115 123
• Fang Yufei — A presumed friend whose deception convinced Lu Xiaofeng that trust was the foundation of friendship. 144
• Gong Jiu — An uneasy ally during the island murder investigation; Wen Qingkong killed Gong Jiu and arranged for Lu Xiaofeng to be framed for the murder. 184 187

Story Role / Major Arcs

Great Golden Roc Dynasty affair

Lu Xiaofeng stayed at Azure Cloud Inn while Princess Danfeng and her associates tracked him down. He fled rather than answer her plea, but Huo Xiu and Liu Yuhan’s deaths later filled him with regret and compelled him to investigate. 109 110 115

With Hua Manlou and Ximen Chuixue, he traced the case to the Jeweled Splendor Pavilion and confronted Wen Qingkong. Lu Xiaofeng joined Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuixue, and Dugu Yihe against Wen, but all four were repelled and injured. 120 124

Demonic Cult and Silver Hook Gambling House

Lu Xiaofeng was framed for a series of robberies and assaults in Mingzhou before the Demonic Cult’s Three Unmatched Elders confronted him over the death of their leader’s son. 140

While pursuing the truth at the Silver Hook Gambling House, he uncovered Fang Yufei’s betrayal and Bluebeard’s identity. His later attack on Wen Qingkong ended in a severe injury, from which Sikong Zhaixing rescued him. 144 148

Island investigation and death

After recovering in hiding, Lu Xiaofeng accepted Gong Jiu’s request to investigate a meticulously stitched corpse connected to an island murder case. Although Hua Manlou warned that the pursuit could lead to his death, Lu Xiaofeng went willingly. 184

He deduced Wen Qingkong’s pattern of eliminating the island’s decision-makers, but Wen used Yue Yang and Shaman to frame him for Gong Jiu’s murder. Cornered in a mountain crevice, Lu Xiaofeng challenged Wen directly; his Lingxi Finger was overwhelmed, and Wen’s fist strike killed him. 186 187

After his death, Wen Qingkong received Lu Xiaofeng’s Lingxi Finger through corpse stitching and took possession of his island, renaming it Penglai Island. 189
