However, the Quanzhen priests begin insulting Yang when they see him return.
She does not allow him to stay and asks Granny Sun to send him back to Quanzhen and tell the priests not to mistreat him anymore. Xiaolongnü meets Yang Guo for the first time when he ventures into the Ancient Tomb while escaping from the bullies at Quanzhen Sect. Coincidentally, Guo Jing arrives at Chongyang Palace together with Yang Guo and he drives away Huodu and his men. He brings his henchmen with him and they raid Chongyang Palace along the way. The Mongol prince Huodu believes the tale and travels to the Ancient Tomb, hoping to meet Xiaolongnü. In addition, the lucky man will claim possession of the tomb, which is said to house great treasures and martial arts manuals.
Meanwhile, Li Mochou spread rumours in the jianghu that when Xiaolongnü turned 18, she will offer her hand in marriage to any man who can defeat her. Xiaolongnü inherited the sect's leadership position when she was 14 after her teacher died. Xiaolongnü's senior Li Mochou was expelled from the sect for poor conduct. She starts learning the sect's highest order skill from the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but since her teacher's understanding of the skill was incomplete, her own understanding is even more limited. As a child, she was taught all the sect's martial arts and mastered all of them after many years. Xiaolongnü was raised as a student by a woman (whose name is not mentioned in the novel) who is the apprentice of Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Before they could decide what to do with the baby girl because the sect does not accept female members, a middle-aged woman called Granny Sun appeared and took Xiaolongnü away to the nearby Ancient Tomb. Her cries broke the silence of the night and drew the attention of Quanzhen's priests. Xiaolongnü was abandoned as an infant outside Chongyang Palace (the Quanzhen Sect's headquarters) by an unknown figure. Her real name is unknown and is never mentioned in the novel she is referred to as "Xiaolongnü" by other people, and as "Long'er" by Yang Guo, her teacher and Granny Sun.

"I hope you'll remember that there is this 'Auntie' called Carman Lee who may share similar experiences with you and been through the same moods as you, whether in joy or sorrow. She added: "I hope that you don't only think of me when you're in good spirits, but also when work is tough, life isn't smooth-sailing or when you have unhappy times with your family, friends and loved ones. Very rarely does she get to see written words and collections like these that give insight into how her fans have grown up and just how much their growth involved her, Carman said. This Tuesday (Nov 8), she had also shared on Weibo a collection of images of the Little Dragon Maiden, recently sent to her by fans. She had proudly stated that the "rope-sleeping skills" she picked up as the Little Dragon Maiden hadn't waned, even 27 years later.
She then strikes multiple poses that Condor Heroes fans would recognise, including one with her iconic rope-sleeping technique.Įarlier this year on Aug 15, her 56th birthday, she had uploaded a video of herself practicing aerial silk techniques, which involve the artiste hanging from fabric in almost gravity-defying feats. "Very well! I've heard your requests, both my ears have heard them," she said in the post, which also features a video of her putting on makeup and doing her hair in the fashion of the character.
