Chu Xian

## History

**Chu Xian** was a teacher for the Heavenly Star Academy.

He was the exam instructor for many notable students; Ye XingHe, An XueYun, Lin Hong, and Liang Yu.

He was one of six teachers, that escorted the students for the "smelting trial". On their way to the plateau, were the trial would take place. He was asked to oversee a duel between Ye XingHe and Liang Jian, which resulted in Ye XingHe winning. After the duel, he continued to escort the students to were they would eventually set up camp. The following morning, the body of Liang Jian was discovered. Liang Yu quickly pointed out Ye XingHe as the culprit, because of the dispute they had the day before. However, Chu Xian stated that he and other teachers had already speculated that based on Liang Jians injuries, he was killed by a demon beast. While informing the students of the dangers of a 3rd Heavenly Realm demon beast appearing, another teacher ran toward Chu Xian in a panic, saying that the plank walkway that acts as the only means to enter and leave the plateau, had been destroyed. Chu Xian then ordered students to form in groups of 5-6 and says that it shouldn't be long before the academy notices something is wrong. The next day, while the students are back at camp, a landslide that wipes out the camp occurs. An XueYan later speculates to Ye XingHe that with the landslide happening directly above the camp, it was most likely done deliberately and premeditated, with only Chu Xian knowing the whereabouts of the trial beforehand.

Later, An XueYan and Ye XingHe would run after Xia YuNing, whom Ye XingHe believed to be in danger. They were intercepted by a black-cloaked figure, who would eventually be revealed as Chu Xian after trading blows with Ye XingHe, proving An XueYans earlier suspicions. Ye XingHe, then correctly assumes that their target must be Xia YuNing. Surprised at this, An XueYan begins to question Chu Xian on how he could kill his innocent bystanders and students, only for him to laugh at her naiveness and say "How many people have you nobles killed thus far? At the slightest issue you lay waste to the branch families, in your eyes, we are merely cattle, your dogs and pigs! We've had enough with you nobles, enough with your injustice, our grievances run quite deep, they aren't something you can ignore anymore." He then begins to offer Ye XingHe a chance to join their cause, knowing full well how much injustice he's recieved from the nobles. However, Ye XingHe saw through Chu Xians words and realized that at the end of their "cause" they'd be no better than the nobles they are trying to overthrow. Realizing that he can't reason with Ye XingHe, he warns him that even if they do get past him, they won't be able to save Xia YuNing from "that person" as even with her being a 5th Heavenly Realm is still not a match for him. As soon as the talks ended, Ye XingHe and Chu Xian started fighting more fiercely this time, only for both to end up wounded. Lin Yi soon arrived with a group of surviving students and saw the aftermath of their fight. Chu Xian wasted no time pushing all the blame onto Ye XingHe, claiming he got snuck attacked. Lin Yi, not knowing Chu Xians true allegiance, took his fellow teachers words as fact and tried to detain both An XueYan and Ye XingHe. Chu Xian took this chance to escape while everyone turned their attention to Ye XingHe.

It was soon revealed that Lin Hong was the mastermind behind their kidnapping attempt of Xia YuNing. During his and Lin Hongs retreat, they were stopped by Divine Guardians at the behest of Xia Lie. Lin Hong managed to escape with the help of Ye XingHe, while Chu Xian was captured. However, on his way to prison he was rescued by members of his group and managed to escape.
