    Default Did Cheung Mo Gei have any idea that Siu Chiu was Persian?

    When Cheung Mo Gei first met Siu Chiu at Gwong Ming Peak, did he have any idea that she was Persian? Naturally, he didn't know that she was the daughter of the Purple-Robed Dragon King, but I wonder if there was anything about Siu Chiu that would have given away her ethnicity. Siu Chiu's father, Mr. Silver Leaf, was a Han Chinese, but her mother was Persian. Did Siu Chiu look more Chinese or more Persian? Did she speak Chinese with a Persian accent? Was she obviously foreign (from a Chinese perspective)?

    I remember Xiao Zhao then was described quite clearly. She looked different to Han Chinese, with different eye colour and all that.

    Not "Persian" specifically, I suppose, just foreign.

    I thought I read/saw somewhere that Mr. Silverleaf was more likely Korean than Han?

    Just because "Han" has a similar pronunciation of "Korea", doesn't make a person with a surename of "Han" Korean

    Most Korean surenames are Cui, Lee, Park etc...

    The only Korean in HSDS is Cuan Jian Nan who fought with ZWJ's dad near Wudang
