As you were walking alone in the area near Wangshu Inn, deep in your thoughts, a monster suddenly appeared before you, catching you off guard. The creature was on you instantly, and before you knew it, it was knocking you to the ground.

You were defenseless, and as the monster was about to strike again, you saw a flash of teal across your vision. Then, in an instant, the monster was on the ground, dead.

You looked up to see the Vigilant Yaksha, Xiao, standing before you. His mask was now removed, revealing his handsome face and golden eyes that seemed to pierce right through you. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice low and serious. To your surprise he is extremely short.
