Background / History

Lan Junxian previously served in the military before an injury sustained during a naval battle forced his reassignment to Wanzhong Group. He subsequently turned to Super-Species research, drawing on the Deep Sea Clan's accumulated records and theory collection in the Blue Repository. 343 348

As leader of the Peacock Spider Task Force, he traveled outside his jurisdiction to pursue the Peacock Spider case through interregional cooperation. He led the briefing for the assembled northern License Holders and maintained an open, approachable manner despite their uncertainty over his authority. 18

He met Jiang Qian after the latter cleared Whispers of the Inner Demon. Recognizing Jiang Qian as an exceptionally rare talent, Lan Junxian investigated the Spider Cocoon within him, developed a high-risk rescue plan, and shared his research on the seven-state energy structure to help Jiang Qian build a stronger foundation. 23 24 25

Lan Junxian attempted to recruit Jiang Qian into the East Sea Special Security Action Department. When higher-level intervention instead assigned Jiang Qian to Wanzhong Group, he accepted the decision and became Jiang Qian's “Buddy,” personally instructing him and arranging combat training with Ye Xiaojing. 32 33 34

During Jiang Qian's Advancement Ceremony, Lan Junxian entered the sea realm to search for him and was nearly overwhelmed by several dragon beast kings. Jiang Qian ultimately rescued him; the strain of forcing open his combat power caused Lan Junxian's old military injury to flare up. 342 343

Later, Lan Junxian remained part of Jiang Qian's support network, facilitated his meeting with Little Dragon Girl regarding his Dragon Card, and became one of the core members of the Special Operations Department alongside Jiang Qian and Ji Ming. 418 467

Appearance

Lan Junxian is a refined, middle-aged man whose composed bearing and polished appearance contrast with the intensity he displays when confronted with exceptional talent. 20 23

• Usually wears a blue suit. 20 23
• Wears gold-rimmed glasses. 20 23
• Has a neatly groomed full beard. 20
• Maintains graceful, confident body language even in tense situations. 23 25

Personality

Lan Junxian is calm, diplomatic, and professional. He handles cross-jurisdictional cooperation carefully, invites questions from subordinates, and generally favors persuasion over coercion. 18 24

He has an intense fixation on cultivating talent. Jiang Qian's survival of Whispers of the Inner Demon immediately captured his interest, and Lan Junxian repeatedly invested his own knowledge, resources, and political capital to protect and develop him. 23 25 26

His devotion can make him visibly possessive of promising subordinates: he initially suspected that Jiang Qian's visitor was attempting to poach him and was deeply frustrated when Ji Ming's influence prevented Jiang Qian from joining the East Sea branch. 31 33 39

Despite his enthusiasm, Lan Junxian is not blindly optimistic. He openly recognizes the limits of existing Super-Species knowledge, the danger of mutation, and the uncertain risks surrounding Jiang Qian's accelerated evolution. 25 85
