Tao Xue-Fang

Tao Xue-Fang was the former bodyguard of the Qiao emperor's niece, and a black arts cultivator.

He was the other self of Wu Taiyo.

Appearance
Tao Xue-Fang had fair skin and long, black hair. Despite his common features, he was rather attractive and handsome. When his hair wasn't let down, it was tied into a low ponytail.

He wore all black attire once he left the Hayang Hana Sect, before only wearing the school's uniform.

History
Born in a small Qiao village, Xue-Fang's home was attacked by a group of demons - leaving him as the sole survivor. He was discovered by a group of cultivators from Hayang Hana Sect - and taken there. He spent the next ten years at Hayang Hana Sect and became a cultivator himself.

When invited to the imperial palace to guard the Qiao emperor's niece, Tang Linxiu. Unfortunately, Qiao Wuxin uncovered his daughter's crush and urged the emperor to fire Tao Xue-Fang - he didn't want his daughter to marry a commoner, even if he was a cultivator.

Tao Xue-Fang then returned to the Hayang Hana Sect, and would regularly exchange letters to Tang Linxiu. His progress was stagnant, which lead him to discover an new way of cultivation.

This eventually got him kicked from the sect.

His inner devil became more prevalent in his life as he would go village to village, mascaraing innocent people, unbeknownst to Tang Linxiu (whom he would visit often - breaking in at night). During one of these visits, his mind became corrupt and he tried to strangle the niece - she accepted his actions and was willing to die if it were by his hand. Upon regaining consciousness, it was too late and the guards had already found him.

The following day of his attempted murder of Tang Linxiu, he was executed for threatening her and murdering several other women.
