Ji Xiaofu (simplified: 纪晓芙, traditional: 紀曉芙, pinyin: Jì Xiǎofú, jyutping: gei2 hiu2 fu4) was a fourth-generation disciple of the Emei Order betrothed to Yin Liting. She bore Yang Xiao’s daughter Yang Buhui, refused Miejue’s order to assassinate Yang Xiao, and was struck dead by her master. Miejue praised her swordplay as fierce and her character as resolute.
Biography
Wudang Mountain
Ji Xiaofu attended Zhang Sanfeng’s hundredth birthday celebration at Wudang Mountain. When she and Yin Liting exchanged glances, Bei Jinyi teased them. Ji Xiaofu comforted Zhang Wuji after Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu died, offering him a gold necklace; he declined.
Encounter with Yang Xiao
Miejue sent her disciples to find Xie Xun and the Dragon Sabre. While travelling in western Sichuan, Ji Xiaofu met Yang Xiao, who followed her persistently. She could not shake him and eventually bore his child. She named their daughter Yang Buhui (不悔, “No Regrets”) and raised her alone.
Butterfly Valley
Ji Xiaofu was wounded by the Golden Flower Matriarch and brought Yang Buhui to Butterfly Valley for treatment. Zhang Wuji tended her wounds. When Miejue arrived, she ordered Ji Xiaofu to approach Yang Xiao and assassinate him. Ji Xiaofu refused. Miejue struck her dead. Before dying, Ji Xiaofu asked Zhang Wuji to take Yang Buhui to Yang Xiao.
Legacy
Yang Buhui later married Yin Liting, Ji Xiaofu’s former betrothed, who had been heartbroken by Ji Xiaofu’s death.
Personality and traits
Ji Xiaofu was upright, capable of both love and hatred, and possessed a strong sense of justice. She repeatedly stopped Ding Minjun from torturing Peng Yingyu and prevented Peng from killing Ding Minjun, saying that though Ding had been unkind to her, she could not repay unkindness with unkindness.
