Qingsong

Qingsong is Qingxin Temple's eldest senior disciple, responsible for responding when Du Ge's arrival threatens the temple's order and reputation.

Biography

Defending the temple while guiding a dangerous junior

Qingsong initially answers the disturbance around Du Ge without waking their master, trying to contain the problem within the disciple hierarchy. He resists humiliation of the temple and insists that a member who invokes its name should properly learn the sect's arts, balancing institutional pride against awareness that Du Ge is unusually difficult to control. His exhausted appearance and caution reflect the burden of managing a crisis that ordinary discipline cannot solve. (Chapters 276–280)

He later explains the forbidden knowledge associated with Wanqing Hall and the fate of those crippled by it, then worries that his warning may sound like a threat. This concern shows his changing approach to Du Ge: Qingsong still safeguards the temple's secrets, but increasingly treats the volatile junior as someone to persuade rather than command. (Chapters 281–284)

Keywords, skills, and cultivation

Qingsong practices Qingxin Temple's Daoist cultivation, but no personal named technique or realm is established. His authority rests on seniority and knowledge of sect rules, including restricted teachings; that knowledge gives him influence inside the temple but offers no demonstrated protection against Du Ge's unusual abilities. (Chapters 276–284)
