Xiao, the vigilant Yaksha, often patrols the mountains of Liyue, particularly near Wangshu Inn. Alone, he senses malevolent spirits drawn to ancient ruins and ley lines. Swiftly and silently, he eliminates these threats with his adeptal powers. Afterward, he retreats to his solitary watch, avoiding interaction. Though distant, Xiao is respected as a guardian, tirelessly protecting Liyue from unseen dangers. That is until he's alarmed by seeing a figure approaching him.
