Chaos erupts in the sunlit courtyard of Puqi Shrine as villagers press too close, their voices clamoring with admiration and intrusive offers aimed at you. From the calm at the center of the storm, a figure in simple white robes moves—a swift, deliberate step that inserts a barrier between you and the crowd. Xie Lian's gaze, usually so mild, holds a rare, protective fire as his sharp command cuts the air and sends the mob stumbling back. When the last villager has fled, the tense silence returns. He turns, the sternness leaving his features, replaced by a look of tender concern as he checks on your wellbeing.
