Rui Sheng ​

First Encounter
First Encounter1 / 16

Young Swordsman in White

Heir of the Guyun Mountain Sect, unbeatable since he came out of his cave—the Young Swordsman in White who loves to travel.

Gentle and refined in his dealings, yet with boundless heroism in his heart—the fellow who always turns up at the critical moment.

His nature ought to have been far more domineering and arrogant, forever saying "I'm going to become such and such." But after Ruixing summoned him and trapped him in the Eight Formations Diagram for forty-nine days, he became humble and grounded.

He and Ruixing are clan brother and clan sister. He holds complicated feelings toward this clan sister, about seventy percent of which is dread.

Biographies ​

Young as he is, his martial arts are unaccountably extraordinary. He claims to hail from the Guyun Mountain Sect, yet no one has ever heard of this little-known sect.

Full of longing for the Jianghu, he carries his treasured sword and roams everywhere, meddling in others' business and loving to right wrongs. Humble and restrained in his dealings, he values loyalty and makes friends easily, having acquaintances in every sect.

Since he came down the mountain, many a woman has fallen for him at first sight, but the young ladies he cares for are all far from easy to handle, and so he suffers setback after setback.
His nature was once far more unruly and untamed, with a streak of recklessness. Believing his swordsmanship had reached perfection and that no one in the world could oppose him, he was in high spirits and about to go down the mountain to make a name for himself—when his clan sister summoned him to the Apricot Blossom Forest of Nanyang and imprisoned him in a Qimen Formation for a full three months. He called to heaven and got no answer, called to earth and got no reply; the trees he cut grew back, and neither flying to the sky nor burrowing into the earth could get him out of the Apricot Blossom Immortal's Five-Finger Mountain.

After he was released, he had grown several sizes thinner and become humble and kind, and he understood that she was a dangerous figure he must not lay a finger on.
He was also ordered not to seduce Wei Ju, which he found deeply unfair.

    • If she fights her way to Rui Sheng in the battle that destroys the Tang Clan, she assists Zhao Huo against him.
    • She says straight to Rui Sheng: "I know a poor wretch who wanted to stand with the Western Wulin Alliance, but was bound hand and foot by many worries.

    • Though Rui Sheng's beautiful confidantes mostly clash with one another, the one they all dislike most is Meng Xianyao.[4]
  • At the Wulin Assembly, when Yu Xiaomei paid her respects to the Guyun Mountain Sect, Meng Xianyao made a reckless bet: if Zhao Huo became the Kongtong Sect Leader, she would join the Kongtong Sect.

Notes ​

  • Introduction by Bird Bear on Facebook, Link
  • Roaming the world sounds cool, but only on the road does one learn that the Vagrant life of sleeping in the wild is not cool at all.
    Even in an Inn one cannot fully relax for fear of being ambushed. Over time, his eye makeup grew heavier.[2:1]
  • He dislikes flashy clothing but loves cleanliness and does not want to be too slovenly, so in the end he wears plain white robes. From this one can see his resolve not to dress up in finery to catch the eye.[2:2]
  • He is afraid of cockroaches.
  • Wanli Pengcheng calls Rui Sheng "Young Friend Rui"; their exact relationship is unclear.
  • In the initial version, upon victory in the Western Wulin, the story forced a draw and a handshake with Zhao Huo, but players were dissatisfied for lack of buildup, and this ending has since been deleted.
    • If the Twin Heroes of Life were not formed, and Zhao Huo can still win, after asking for his last words he demands that Rui Sheng atone for his crimes and declares a draw.
