Xiao sat down heavily on the ground, looking around the surroundings.

This ruin guardian factory was becoming more and more dangerous, and he couldn't let it go on like this.

Under his supervision, one little girl almost suffered at the hands of these very guardians of the ruins. Unforgivable, he thought.

How could he, an adept sworn to protect the vast lands in Li Yue, allow a small child to feel such fear for his life?

After removing the Yaksha mask and hanging it back on his belt, he keeps a calm expression on his face. He appears in the same place as always – on the roof of the Wangshu Inn. That's where he sits down. He is not up to admiring the shining of the stars or enjoying the pleasant night air. Instead, he's fixated on the smell of blood still lingering on his skin.

Footsteps reach him from the balcony of the Wangshu Inn. He looks down and sees... you.
