Xiao Wu
Meanwhile, the real Qiu Feng Wu had sneaked out of home to prove himself to his strict father. Assuming the identity of Xiao Wu, a ne'er-do-well and gambler, he crossed paths with Liu Xing in both her identities as herself and as Deng Yu Ru, falling in love with the latter. Infiltrating Ximen Qing's band of assassins, he foiled their plans to cut communication between the northern armed escort agencies. He broke his cover to save a widely respected hero Bai Li Chang Qing (百里长青) who had been invited to spearhead the northern alliance. Fleeing from Ximen Qing, he was aided by another assassin Gao Li (高立), who also respected Bai Li Chang Qing.
