Wen Kexing

' ❝ Dying together with you is also a fine ending. ❞ ' "- Wen Kexing"

Wen Kexing (温客行, Wēn Kè Xíng) is one of the main characters of the Faraway Wanderers (天涯客) novel, and the Word of Honor (山河令) live action series.

He shown to be an enigmatic man who eventually comes to accompany Zhou Zishu on the latter's journey.

Appearance
He is described as an undeniably handsome or good-looking man dressed in gray, who looks to be around 30.

He has dark eyes that seem like they can swallow all brightness. He has intense eyes, and they seem like black holes that can suck people in. His stare would unnerve most people.

He has very distinct features, and a wan complexion. According to Zhou Zishu, he actually does not look too human.

He has a very deep voice, that is also very pleasant to the ears, with every word enunciated slowly and clearly. When he wasn’t talking nonsense, his voice was low. It was almost like sighing with no strength to it, as if he didn’t want to waste energy; completed with a hint of indifference in it.

Personality
He is very clever, guessed Zhou Zishu's identity very quickly and is a mastermind of plots and revenge. He was able to ascend to power within the Ghost Valley by killing off the previous Valley Master ruthlessly. He acts silly and carefree with Zhou Zishu, when in fact he was planning and carrying out his plot against the Five Lakes Alliance and much of the Jianghu.

Due to the Meng Po soup he had to drink as a child, his emotions and mental state fluctuate in and out of a crazed state. However, he has an excellent control of his facial expressions and behavior, being able to switch from a happy and flirtatious "Lao-Wen" to a vicious and dangerous "Ghost Valley Master (guigu guzhu)" in a split second.

Often he becomes frantic and protective when it comes to those he cares about, especially when it comes to his "A-Xu". However, it should be noted that although he doesn't outwardly display as intense feelings of protectiveness over Ah-Xiang and Chengling, he is still fiercely protective of them when they come into danger and will undoubtedly kill anyone who tries to harm them.

Abilities

 * Excellent Martial Skills - It impresses even Ye Baiyi.
 * Excellent Qinggong (轻功) - Wen Kexing doesn’t even leave any footprints and any traces behind while traveling. He was even able to keep up with Zhou Zishu without fail, always keeping a small distance. This is even when the latter's qinggong had reached the stage where he could travel without leaving any traces. Normally, one would stay silent during the traveling, so as not to lose their vital energy, but Wen Kexing didn’t seem to mind it.
 * Medical Skills - He has some form of medical skills. He methodically sucked out all the poisoned blood in Zhou Zishu's arm and treated his wounds skillfully. He removed the other man’s meridian blocking and took out a small medicine bottle. He swallowed one pill and put one more in his palm, holding it near Zhou Zishu’s mouth.
 * Storytelling -
 * Exceptional Hearing - Like Zhou Zishu, it is clear that he has exceptional hearing too.

Belongings

 * “Unusual” Handkerchief - (Novel) He owned a handkerchief. The fragrance from it is of the gentle and elegant smell of beauty products. At the corner was a small but exquisitely embroidered orchid. The size was a bit too big, and it looked too plain for a maiden to use. It is revealed to be a personal gift from the famous courtesan and gentleman Su Yue from Yang Zhou City. He easily tore it into pieces and used them to cover Zhou Zishu’s wound.

Preference
In the novel, it is made clear that he is solely and unashamedly only interested in men.

Before meeting Zhou Zishu, he regularly visited male brothels and had one-night stands. He states that beautiful people are rare in this world, but they are also not too difficult to come across. He has "embraced" almost all of the beauties in the world, and has never pestered them afterwards. However, ever since he decided to "cling onto" Zhou Zishu, he states that he has never "touched" anyone else.

He has a habit of telling whether someone is a beauty by their shoulder blades (butterfly bones). He claims that he has yet to misjudge a person's beauty, having told a person's beauty by their bones his whole life.

The habit has quite the morbid origin. Many years ago, he saw a corpse by the roadside whose hair had already withered, the mess clumped into a ball. The colors of its clothes had faded until he could no longer tell what they once had been. It had a face that was gory with blood and glass, its nose sliced off, its features indistinguishable. A spear had pierced it, from the chest in front all through to its back, coming out from under the shoulder blades. He glanced at it a few more times, one look at the shoulder blades, and knew that it had to be an unparalleled beauty when they had been alive.

Zhou Zishu
He takes an interest Zishu, especially by the latter's distinctive back. He regularly flirts with Zishu. He has made up his mind that in this lifetime, he will marry no one else but Zishu. If the latter is gone, he will remain solitary until the end of his life.

Gu Xiang
He brought Xiang up since her early childhood. They care for each other a lot. Wen Kexing reveals that she is like a daughter to him. When she dies in his arms he is devastated and promises to revenge her death by killing Mo Huai Yang.
