Bai Suyuan

Bai Suyuan is the current High Priestess of the Blissful Temple. She was previously an elder of the Blissful Temple and master of the Yunyu County Hall, until the death of Dang Hongchen, the previous High Priestess.

Personality and Traits
Bai Suyuan is humble and cares greatly for the welfare of her sect. She doesn't hold grudges and is peaceful. Consequently, she is favored as the High Priestess by the Blissful Temple over the stronger Liu Qingmei. Bai Suyuan has a friendly rivalry with Yu Xuanji of the Mo Qing Sect.

Plot
Bai Suyuan first appears when she watches the Boat Festival with Yu Xuanji. She boasts of Bai Yuyan's talent, but is furious when Xie Yan and Meng Qinglian outshine her disciple.

Later, she disapproved of Dang Hongchen's decision to invade the Mo Qing Sect and did not participate in the battle. Subsequently, she became the interim High Priestess of the Blissful Temple after Dang Hongchen's death. The sect fell in chaos due to the loss of several elders, and with great effort, Bai Suyuan stabilized the situation.

A month later, Dang Hongchen's old rival, Liu Qingmei returned to the Blissful Temple after an absence of many years. Bai Suyuan disagreed with Liu Qingmei's stance to exact vengeance from the Mo Qing Sect. She couldn't oppose Liu Qingmei because of the latter's superior strength and her alliance with Ge Yi of the mighty Xin Mo Sect. Fearing for the Blissful Temple as well as her safety, Bai Suyuan secretly approaches the elders of the Mo Qing Sect and offers them an alliance, in exchange for their assistance in assassinating Liu Qingmei. Bai Suyuan plans to trap Liu Qingmei at the Xueyi Lou base in Datong city and have her assassinated by the Mo Qing Sect. On Yu Hongyan's suggestion, Bai Suyuan takes Xie Yan to the Blissful Temple as a liaison between her and the Mo Qing Sect. Along the way, she warns Xie Yan of Ge Yi's son, the Thousand-Faced Prince Ge Huaiyu.

Unbeknownst to Bai Suyuan, Liu Qingmei and Ge Huaiyu have already learnt of her conspiracy after bribing Heaven No.5. Elsewhere, Xie Yan learns that Bai Suyuan's entire ploy has been exposed and he swiftly begins to salvage the situation. Bai Suyuan spends the next few days in worry, hoping for the best. Later, she is stunned to learn of Liu Qingmei's assassination and that, Xie Yan mysteriously resolved the entire matter by himself. Xie Yan reminds Bai Suyuan of her promise of alliance to the Mo Qing Sect. The High Priestess watches him leave, wondering about him.
