General Jing Yuan's retainer. A gifted swordsman who hasn't even come of age.
No one can best Yanqing when he holds a sword in hand.

The spirited lieutenant of the Xianzhou Luofu, and also its most proficient swordsman.
He was born for the sword and is obsessed with it. Whenever a sword rests in Yanqing's hand, none would dare underestimate this genius still in the early days of his youth.
Perhaps the only thing capable of dulling his treasured blade's sharp edge is time.

Youngest lieutenant in the history of the Cloud Knights. Retainer to General Jing Yuan. Collector of antique swords from the Artisanship Commission… With all these auspicious titles and this street gossip swirling arouond this one wunderkind, it's scarcely believable that he is still a child.

Ever since he could remember, Yanqing would follow Jing Yuan around like a shadow, helping the Seat of Divine Foresight resolve problems. And Jing Yuan in return taught him the art of swordplay — and the art of war. After years of training, Yanqing's mind is as quick and sharp as the spotless sword he keeps.

Cloud Knight combat drills attest that controlling six simultaneous flying daggers is something even Cloud Knight chief drillmasters can't master in a century. The phrase agreed among the Xianzhou people to describe the combat talents of Yanqing is “A gifted swordsman born to fight.”
