Marquis Qu Ming

Marquismission and logistics coordinatorSouthern Cloud Nation

Marquis Qu Ming is a Southern Cloud Nation official assigned to support Dong Bo Xue Ying during the Fiery Zhao mission. The late-corpus evidence is intact and consistently identifies him, but it focuses on administration rather than cultivation, leaving his realm and personal combat capabilities unstated. (Chapters 1052–1064)

Biography

Ardent Fire and Southern Cloud

Southern Cloud King assigns Qu Ming to handle Xue Ying's practical needs for a mission in Fiery Zhao. He guides the visiting expert through the capital, arranges intelligence, and establishes a reliable channel through which local matters can be investigated without distracting Xue Ying from the central objective. (Chapter 1052)

Qu Ming admires an art scroll associated with Xue Ying and then turns to procurement work, making inquiries about Void-lineage insect corpses. These tasks show a court official translating a powerful cultivator's unusual requirements into local searches and reports. (Chapters 1052–1064)

As battles and developments occur, Qu Ming continues delivering information until Xue Ying tells him not to interrupt cultivation unnecessarily. He accepts that boundary and remains the logistical contact rather than attempting to insert himself into the fighting. (Chapters 1053–1064)

Appearance and personality

Qu Ming is a tall, thin, middle-aged man. He is observant enough to appreciate refined art and diligent in gathering intelligence, while his deference to Xue Ying's cultivation schedule reflects disciplined service rather than timidity. (Chapters 1052–1064)

Abilities and cultivation

The supplied evidence does not identify Qu Ming's cultivation realm, Dao, weapon, or personal combat technique. His demonstrated strengths are administrative: local guidance, logistics, procurement inquiries, and concise reporting for a high-level mission. (Chapters 1052–1064)

Items
