Rui Sheng

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.

- In the duel of the two Alliance Leaders, if Zhao Huo dies in battle, Yu Xiaomei loses control and attacks Rui Sheng, dying by his sword.

- If she never meets Ye Yunzhou and Ye Yunshang, she watches the duel of the two Alliance Leaders at Meishan without saying a word.
Nan Xi

- 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.

Someone like me, with no kin and no ties, all alone, has no such worries.

- Arrogant and snobbish, she calls Nan Xi a country bumpkin and Xia Lingxi a barbarian.
- 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.
At the Wulin Assembly, it seems only the Guyun Mountain Sect harem did not know this great Jianghu news.

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.
