Xiao Qi

“	Only by going through hardship can a man go above others. This child doesn’t have talent. If he lacks the willpower, what qualifications does he have to enter Shrek? I saw the dedication and perseverance within him, and at the last moment, he even revealed a smile and not hatred. This proves that he holds a tolerant and kind heart. It is just a test, whether or not he participates in the comprehensive exam later on isn’t important. Furthermore, since I have chosen to do this, I naturally have a method of remedying this.	”

Appearance

Manhua

A tall, red-haired young man.

Personality

He is a compassionate teacher for his students and disciple, later taking pride for his top students' miracles. He is willing to be strict with his disciple to improve Liu Feng's foundation as an ordinary spirit master. His compassionate personality makes all his students, especially Tang Xuanyu, ask for counsel and advise.

He highly respects the hardworking and ordinary type spirit masters because he is similarly imposing his previous lifestyle on them. Notably he admires those with strong willpower and good heart.

He has the inner habit of comparing himself with his students in the category of "Outer Court" years.

With the consumed petal, Xiao Qi forced Liu Feng to become his disciple while indebt for the immortal herb.

Xiao Qi became the Outer Court teacher for Tang Xuanyu's group of 33 students for the next six years.

Training Disciple Liu Feng

• Apprenticeship Interest

“	Perhaps it is because of my origin that I am not very interested in those geniuses or those extremely gifted kids. Instead, I like this kind of kid with perseverance, persistence, and a kind heart. Not only do I want to take him in as my apprentice, but I also want him as my disciple. So this petal of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum shall be considered my gift to him for our first time meeting one another.	”
