We have had numerous debates on the question of 'Who would want to learn the Bixie/Sunflower skill', with TC thinking that only punks would while many others think that most scrubs would definitely go for it as it allows a nobody to become a really big deal near instantly.
What if Xie Xun came across the Bixie Manual (ignore time lines here shall we, imagine it was the original Sunflower manual if you will) instead of the Dragon Sabre. He was near insane for revenge and his wife was dead anyway. Would he 'do it' for revenge?
The Mighty Golden Haired Lion King, yes! Would he have done it and turned into some freaky harajuku blonde transgender?
That would be one scary anti-villian.
