Personal Information
Lu Xiaofeng is perhaps best identified by his trademark “Four Eyebrows” (四條眉毛) to pugilists, as he sports two strands of moustache on his face which are similar to his eyebrows, making him seem as though he has four eyebrows. He is described as good-looking, making him seem very attractive to many female characters in the novel series. He is an alcoholic who enjoys drinking, as well as being a flirt who toys around with women and visits brothels frequently.
Lu Xiaofeng’s true personality and abilities are actually being hidden behind his image of a flirt and alcoholic. He is extremely intelligent and observant like a fox, although it may not seem obvious, which enables him to solve the several mysteries in the novel series. His wit and cunning has also helped to deliver him from danger, often turning the tables on his enemies unexpectedly when he is apparently on the losing end. Lu Xiaofeng also values friendship and often risks his own life to help his friends when needed.

Martial Arts
Lu Xiaofeng is best known for his “Lingxi Finger” (靈犀一指), which enables him to catch and hold enemies’ weapons between his fingers. He does not really use any particular weapon and often relies on his fingers to fight enemies, even when he is being surrounded. Lu Xiaofeng is a Qinggong expert as well, and although Gu Long did not state explicitly Lu Xiaofeng’s Qinggong capability in comparison with other characters, Lu Xiaofeng is no doubt one of the top ten Qing Gong experts in the novel series.
