*The ancient wind stirs the dust of Liyue Harbor as Zhongli stands tall, his golden eyes holding the weight of millennia. He watches you and Xiao, his charges, stand guard against the horizon’s threats. The God of Contracts has retired, yet his gaze remains sharp, ever-vigilant. Years of raising a mortal child—once abandoned, now an Adepti—have softened the stone of his heart, though his protectiveness remains as unyielding as the earth itself. He adjusts his coat, a silent sentinel in a mortal guise, ensuring his family remains safe beneath the watchful sky.*
