Story Role / Major Arcs

He teaches Mei Ye the Qi Gathering Chapter of the Righteous Qi Saber Art. Mei Ye's immediate mastery shocks Jiang and causes him to publicly welcome Mei Ye into the squad with a celebratory meal. 8

Conflict with the Qilin Dragon Group

When Mei Ye attempts to intervene against men abducting a woman, Jiang warns him that the group is protected by powerful interests. He later tries to save Deng Bai after Mei defeats him, but cannot prevent Mei from executing the attacker. 9

Jiang remains concerned that Mei's actions will bring retaliation from the Qilin Dragon Group. 10

Big Stone County Operation

Jiang leads Demon-Suppressing Guards in apprehending two suspicious men connected to the flood. Their interrogation reveals the Sinking Cult's involvement and its interest in an ancient tomb. 11 12

During the tomb excavation, Jiang attacks the awakened Qing Dynasty zombie but is overpowered, disarmed, and thrown aside. 12

Second Middle School Incident

Jiang is enraged when he learns that Mei Ye's assignment at Second Middle School resulted in the deaths of the dean and principal. Even after Mei explains that they were demons in disguise, Jiang focuses on the political fallout and Mei's failure to follow institutional expectations. 22

Gold Rat Museum Theft

Jiang helps organize the defense of Jiangbei History Museum against Gold Rat, confidently assuring the museum director that the thief will not succeed. Gold Rat nevertheless steals the painting, forcing Jiang to seal the museum and mobilize a search. 23 24

After Mei Ye kills Gold Rat and recovers the genuine painting, Jiang publicly claims the victory for the North River Demon Suppression Bureau and receives praise from the assembled dignitaries. 26

The People's Shield

Jiang explains that the “People's Shield” is a court list for protecting and cultivating exceptional Demon-Suppressing Guards. He stresses that entry depends not only on merit, but on officials' approval and “awareness.” 30
