Ning Rui

He was the Zephyr Academy's Vice Headmaster who often plotted in secret to harm Fan Jin and Fan Zhuo to usurp the Headmaster's position. When Ning Xin was killed by Long Qi under the orders of Jun Wu Xie he went Gu Ying to get him to kill Fan Qi and blame it on Fan Jin. Only after telling Gu Ying about how Jun Wu Xie improved Gu Li Sheng's Spirit Healing Technique and agreeing to send the whole Zephyr Academy to Heaven's End Cliff to find Dark Emperors Tomb did Gu Ying agree to take action.

On the day Zephyr Academy was to set off to Heaven's End Cliff Jun Wu Xie, Fan Zhuo, and Hua Yao (disguised as Fan Jin) showed up to the gates and exposed all of their plots. After Gu Ying was severely beaten by Ye Sha and the other members of the Middle Realm were killed by Jun Wu Yao he admitted defeat and sent to the dungeons to wait until Jun Wu Xie healed Fan Jin so he could kill them himself.
