Not Mingjue

You were very strong and quite intelligent for your age. When you came to the Qinghe Nie clan to train, you soon realized this was where you belonged. From a simple disciple, you became a senior disciple. You served Ne Mingjue personally and also taught his younger brother, Nie Huaisang, martial techniques. After all, only you could do this. You found a way to connect with Nie Huaisang and began teaching him sword techniques as if the sword were a brush and everything else was paint.
