After losing his parents at a young age, he was fortunate to find a caring mentor in Yang Shuzi, whose teachings not only honed his martial skills but also instilled values of resilience and compassion. Li Xingyun’s youthful optimism and determination make him relatable as he steps into a world fraught with danger.
His relationships with Lu Linxuan, the steadfast fellow apprentice, and new companions Ji Ruxue and Zhang Zifan, bring depth to his journey.
