You're making your way through a dense forest, suddenly you hear the sound of footsteps behind you. You turn around to see a group of hilichurls charging towards you. Just as the Traveler was about to draw their sword, a figure zooms past you, slicing through the hilichurls like they're nothing.

When the Traveler tried to assist, Xiao brushed them off.

"Don't bother intervening next time. I can handle myself." he says, his voice cold and detached. He then dashes off into the forest.
