Xiao Jun

Biodata

Background / History

Guild Leadership and the Huaiyin Disaster

By the time he approached Zheng Xun, Xiao Jun had served as Singing Sparrow’s vice president for two or three years. He handled much of the guild’s management, and Tao Xueqing described him as practically family to the Tao siblings 12 23.

Xiao Jun accompanied Tao Xueqing and three other players into the A-rank Huaiyin No. 4 Middle School instance, also called Locust Sound. He and Xueqing defeated Security Guard Feng together, but the team subsequently fell into a hidden SSS-rank corridor. Its boss killed their three teammates almost immediately, leaving the two survivors unable to mount an effective counterattack 9 14.

After exhausting their equipment, Xiao Jun gave Xueqing all his stamina potions. She instead used her rare teleportation card to forcibly send him out, surrendering her own means of escape. Xiao Jun was unconscious when he emerged; he underwent forty-eight hours of emergency treatment and woke another four or five days later 14.

He then began assembling a rescue team. His aim was not only to recover Xueqing but also to overcome the psychological damage the failed expedition had inflicted on Singing Sparrow 14.

Recruiting Zheng Xun

While watching Zheng Xun’s debut livestream, Xiao Jun identified both his combat skill and his unusual sensitivity to danger. He immediately traveled to District 1089 with Su Hairong and Cheng Jie, determined that Singing Sparrow would reach Zheng Xun before competing guilds 5.

At the White Tower entrance, he publicly promised Zheng Xun a Silver+ contract if he survived. Their subsequent private meeting revealed the additional request: Zheng Xun was to lead a team into Huaiyin to retrieve the guild president’s missing sister 6 9.

Zheng Xun refused membership but accepted the rescue mission. Xiao Jun agreed to give him temporary authority over Singing Sparrow’s members, provided his demands remained reasonable. Despite concerns about Zheng Xun’s untraceable background, Xiao Jun concluded that the guild had little choice but to trust him 10.

He also directed the publicity staff to announce that contract negotiations were ongoing. This encouraged outsiders to regard Zheng Xun as a likely Singing Sparrow recruit, potentially discouraging rival offers while the guild continued courting him 12.

Returning to Huaiyin

Xiao Jun reentered Huaiyin alongside Zheng Xun, Cheng Jie, Xiao Wu, and Li Shuang. He persuaded Zheng Xun to bring the team because additional participants might help trigger the hidden route. After witnessing Zheng Xun’s strength firsthand, he became willing to let him attempt solo runs 15 16.

During the repeated attempts, Xiao Jun remained at the tower to provide assistance. After the fifty-sixth unsuccessful run, he brought Zheng Xun food and an energy drink and checked whether he could continue 19.

When Zheng Xun began taking teammates individually, Xiao Jun investigated the school independently. His photographs and recovered documents established several crucial facts:

• Xiaoyin’s identity: A class photograph and its labeled reverse identified her as Li Yueying.
• Teacher Xu’s innocence: A torn statement explained that Liang Queyin had falsely accused him after he rejected her.
• Security Guard Feng’s victim: A school notice identified Student Li, rather than Liang Queyin, as the victim of his crime 20.

These findings exposed discrepancies in the information Zheng Xun had been allowed to see. Zheng Xun and Tao Xueji subsequently entered the hidden route and rescued Xueqing. Xiao Jun waited outside and visibly relaxed when the Tao siblings returned 20 21 22.

Xunhui and the Loan Agreement

After the rescue, Zheng Xun requested Singing Sparrow’s guarantee to establish his own guild. Xiao Jun helped prepare the necessary operating proposal overnight with a manager and assistant. He warned Zheng Xun that Singing Sparrow would not run the new organization and that its continued operation would require investors and sponsors 24.

In exchange, Xiao Jun requested a player-loan contract and Zheng Xun’s participation in a press conference. The announced arrangement allowed the new Xunhui Guild to loan Zheng Xun to Singing Sparrow for three A-plus dungeon runs over one year 24 25.

Azure Mist and the General Association

When Xu Guan blocked Zheng Xun’s attempt to rent Huo Ziyan, Xiao Jun explained the contractual obstacles and declined to intervene officially on Singing Sparrow’s behalf. Privately, however, he sent Zheng Xun a map of Azure Mist’s marked dungeons. He later denied supplying it when Xu Guan confronted him 29 30 36.

Xiao Jun also proposed a route into the upcoming All-Star Tournament through the Players’ General Association, whose tournament place routinely went unfilled. In exchange for his recommendation—and counting the earlier map—he secured two additional dungeon runs for Singing Sparrow. He subsequently arranged Zheng Xun’s General Association identification and filming equipment for his accompanying-reporter role 36 38.

After Zheng Xun’s Blue Tower appearance, Xiao Jun showed him a forum smear campaign associated with Jiang Feiguang’s team. He offered Singing Sparrow’s help, but Zheng Xun chose to handle it himself 50.

Appearance

Xiao Jun presents a polished professional image, wearing a suit, tie, and well-polished shoes 6 9.

• One arm is wrapped in white bandages when he first appears 5.
• His welcoming smile is described as being like a spring breeze 9.

Personality

Xiao Jun is composed, shrewd, and attentive to the guild’s interests. He recognizes Zheng Xun’s value quickly, uses publicity to discourage competing recruiters, and turns assistance into negotiated benefits for Singing Sparrow. He explicitly regards image-building and fanbase management as good business 5 12 25 36.

His professional manner does not eliminate personal loyalty. He tried to preserve Xueqing’s chances of survival by giving her his stamina potions and willingly returned to the instance that had nearly killed him. His recollection of that expedition strains his usual composure 14 15.

His treatment of Zheng Xun combines practical care with calculation. He provides accommodation, supplies, and institutional support while continuing to seek a lasting working relationship. Tao Xueqing’s description of him as practically family also contrasts with Zheng Xun’s initial impression of him as crafty 13 19 23 24.
