Role in the Story

The testing ground puppet

After the Maskwalkers rose up, Lu Jieyuan and his wife left home to join the Mandate columns under the Three Heroes of Kunlun. Cui remained there.

Soul comes across her in the Village of Lu testing ground. Her soul has been pushed out of place, leaving just a sliver of obsession, so she says the same handful of wishes over and over: her mother and father, and her grandfather tying her hair once again.

The ribbon

Her red ribbon is handed to Soul, with a plea to take it to her grandfather. Lu Sanqian makes it to the clan shrine gate and dies there with the ribbon on him, never having been reunited with her. In the end the ribbon gets to Lu Jieyuan.

Afterwards, in the Mirage Estate, he pours everything into a single strike against the creature there, and dies telling her not to be afraid of anything, since her father is on his way to stay with her.
