Bei Jinyi (simplified: 贝锦仪, traditional: 貝錦儀, pinyin: Bèi Jǐnyí, jyutping: bui3 gam2 ji4) was a fourth-generation lay disciple of the Emei Order, close to Ji Xiaofu, who helped Yang Buhui escape and later concealed Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui from Miejue.
Biography
Wudang Mountain
Bei Jinyi attended Zhang Sanfeng’s hundredth birthday celebration at Wudang Mountain with her fellow disciples Ji Xiaofu and Ding Minjun. When Ji Xiaofu and Yin Liting exchanged glances, Bei Jinyi teased her senior sister, saying that Yin Liting was even more bashful than Ji Xiaofu.
Butterfly Valley
Bei Jinyi accompanied Miejue and her fellow disciples when the Golden Flower Matriarch confronted the Emei Order at Butterfly Valley. After Miejue defeated the Golden Flower Matriarch, Bei Jinyi tended to her master alongside Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu.
When Miejue ordered Ji Xiaofu to assassinate Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu refused, Miejue struck Ji Xiaofu dead. Miejue then commanded Ding Minjun to kill Ji Xiaofu’s daughter Yang Buhui. Bei Jinyi, who had been close to Ji Xiaofu, could not bear to see the child killed. She falsely told Miejue that she had seen the girl flee outside the valley, allowing Yang Buhui to escape. Miejue led the pursuit out of the valley, and Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi followed.
Concealing Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui
When Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui were being pursued by the Emei Order, Bei Jinyi was the first to spot them. Remembering her bond with Ji Xiaofu, she kept silent and did not report their whereabouts to Miejue, thereby saving Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui.
Personality and traits
Bei Jinyi was described as gentle yet resolute, kind-hearted, and cautious. She did not bully her juniors, tolerated Ding Minjun’s behaviour, secretly aided Ji Xiaofu, and looked out for Zhou Zhiruo. At Wudang she showed compassion for Zhang Wuji in his grief, and sympathy for Yin Liting.
