List of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer characters

Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance

Mount Hua Sect

• Linghu Chong is the happy-go-lucky protagonist of the novel. An orphan, he was raised by Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze as their most senior apprentice. He learns the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' from Feng Qingyang and becomes a formidable swordsman. His sudden leap in swordplay prowess causes his master to suspect him of having stolen the Bixie Swordplay Manual and mastered the skill. Even after his expulsion from Mount Hua, he remains loyal and respectful towards his former master; however, they ultimately become enemies after Yue Buqun is revealed to be a power-hungry hypocrite. Although Linghu Chong's kind nature and heroic attributes make him a likeable person, they also negatively influence him by increasing his affiliations with jianghu lowlifes, resulting in him being misunderstood by his fellows and other orthodox sects. He retires from the jianghu eventually to lead a peaceful life with Ren Yingying.

• Yue Buqun is the leader of the Mount Hua Sect. He is an expert in using the 'Violet Mist Divine Skill'. Although he is nicknamed "Gentleman Sword" for his seemingly gentlemanly conduct, he gradually reveals his true personality – a bigoted, narcissistic and power-hungry hypocrite. Only a few people, such as Feng Qingyang, Ren Woxing and Zuo Lengchan, are aware of his true nature and they look upon him with contempt. He lusts for the Lin family's Bixie Swordplay Manual and plots an elaborate scheme to seize it, after which he castrates himself to fulfil the prerequisite for learning the swordplay. He also resents Linghu Chong of his sudden leap in martial prowess and refuses to have an apprentice who surpasses him in skills, which becomes a part of his motivation to master the Bixie Swordplay. His hatred intensifies when he discovers that his former apprentice has mastered a powerful orthodox swordplay that without the Bixie Swordplay's prerequisite. He is incidentally killed by Yilin during the final battle with Linghu Chong while attempting to trap and kill his rivals inside a cave on Mount Hua.
• Ning Zhongze, nicknamed "Heroine Ning", is Yue Buqun's chivalrous and kindly wife. She regards Linghu Chong as a son and is also the only person who believes his innocence in the theft of the Bixie Swordplay Manual. She loses her will to live after seeing her husband reveal his true colours and learning of her daughter's death, and eventually commits suicide out of shame at her husband's actions.
• Yue Lingshan is Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze's daughter and Linghu Chong's first romantic interest. She falls in love with Lin Pingzhi later and marries him. However, she eventually learns that she is actually a pawn in a struggle for power between her husband and father. Lin Pingzhi kills her after she refuses to follow him to join Zuo Lengshan. When dying, she pleas with Linghu Chong of sparing her husband's life, not knowing that death would have ended his pain and suffering.  
• Lin Pingzhi is Lin Zhennan's son and the sole survivor of the Lin family, who was massacred by the Qingcheng Sect. Yue Buqun saves him, takes him in as an apprentice, and arranges for a marriage between him and Yue Lingshan. Driven by hatred and resentment after discovering Yue Buqun's ulterior motives, he becomes increasingly vicious and brutally kills his family's murderers in revenge but is blinded by Mu Gaofeng. He eventually becomes paraplegic after his final battle with Linghu Chong and is imprisoned in an underground dungeon by him, who agreed to Yue Lingshan's dying wish to spare her husband's life. However, by the ending, Lin is driven insane by his plight.

He meets Linghu Chong by chance and teaches him the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' despite the latter belongs to the Qi faction, being impressed with Linghu Chong's good character and intelligence. His name is derived from a line in the Classic of Poetry used to describe refreshing weather.

He does not know that the manual is a fake one and practises the techniques described in the book. He then calls for a special assembly of the alliance and attempts to intimidate the other four sects into submitting to him. He is defeated and blinded by Yue Buqun, who uses the real Bixie Swordplay against him, and then pretends to concede his position as the alliance chief to Yue. Later, he leads his followers to Mount Hua to kill Yue Buqun, but Yue sees through his plan and traps them inside a cave.
