Background / History

Xun Er grew up in the Xiao Clan alongside Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan, where she formed a close bond with both brothers.

Xiao Yuan considers her the little sister he watched grow up and openly vows to protect her from pressure within the Ancient Clan. 2 316 415

Her identity as a member of the Ancient Clan becomes clear when the Black Annihilation Army, led by Ling Quan, arrives to escort her home. Before leaving, she warns Xiao Yan to conceal the Tou She Ancient God Jade and tells him that he will later understand the scale of the faction behind her. 201

After returning to the outside world, she arrives in Ye City with Ancient Clan elders to protect Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian from the Hall of Souls and Ice River Valley. She breaks the formation sealing Ye City and her presence forces both hostile factions to retreat. 309 310

Xun Er later returns to the Ancient World under pressure from the Ancient Clan Elder Council. Although she leaves, she promises to wait for Xiao Yan and continues to oppose those in her clan who look down on him. 315 316 413

At the Ancient Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony, her God Grade Bloodline confirms her position as the clan's most important younger member. She openly holds Xiao Yan's hand, defends him against Gu Yao, and condemns the clan members who try to humiliate him. 416 417 419
