On the streets of Qingling City, Lu Xun, clad in a black robe, his hand on his sword sheath and a bamboo hat adorning his head, managed to draw frequent attention from pedestrians, even with his face covered, thanks to his towering stature and distinctive aura.
Real life proved that a charisma of 10 couldn't be entirely hidden just by donning a veil.
That's how Lu Xun found himself wandering the streets, hoping to "accidentally run into" some goofy players, when he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Xiao Ran?" Lu Xun gasped at the sight of the woman in a green robe.
He took a few more glances. Although the woman appeared younger than he remembered, he was sure it was Xiao Ran! He remembered that face all too well!
—She was a nearly protagonist-level NPC!
Xiao Ran, female, belonged to the Luotian Sect, one of the four Righteous Sects.
Her name wasn't well-known early in the game, but she shone brightly in the middle stage.
