Story Role
Meeting Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu
Yun Yun first encounters the pair at Nuoding City’s Spirit Hall. Initially mistaking them for academy students, she suggests using their academy’s Soul Power orb. After Su Yunhao insults them, she intervenes and offers to conduct their tests. Their matching hundred-year Soul Rings leave her briefly stunned 4.
She subsequently confirms their ages and rank-fourteen Soul Power, registers them, and invites them to join Spirit Hall. Xiao Yao declines on the grounds that they need to discuss the matter with their family. Yun Yun understands his stated reason and completes their paperwork 5.
New Soul Project Recruitment
Yun Yun accompanies Ma Xiunuo to Xiao Yao’s home to invite him into the New Soul Project. Ma Xiunuo lets her take the lead after Xiao Yao greets her first. When Xiao Yao rejects the invitation, she begs him to help the Nuoding City branch 8.
The branch has repeatedly placed at the bottom of the competition, while neighboring Tanding City has used its rewards to strengthen its resources and recruit talent from surrounding cities. With Nuoding City losing promising recruits to better offers, Yun Yun’s appeal concerns the branch’s continued decline 9.
When Ma Xiunuo signals with three fingers, Yun Yun interprets the gesture as authorization to offer three thousand Gold Soul Coins. Xiao Yao immediately agrees. Ma Xiunuo had actually intended three hundred; her offer amounts to three-fifths of the branch’s five-thousand-coin annual budget and causes him to faint 9.
The following day, Yun Yun and Ma Xiunuo take Xiao Yao, Xiao Wu, and Tang San to Mo City for the competition 9.
Relationships
- Xiao Yao — Initially assists with his registration, then recruits him as a paid tournament representative. He addresses her as “big sister,” but regards her earlier kindness as professionalism rather than a personal favor obligating him to help 4 5 8 9.
- Xiao Wu — Tests and registers her alongside Xiao Yao and later accompanies her to Mo City 5 9.
- Ma Xiunuo — Her branch leader and recruitment partner. Their miscommunication over his three-finger gesture produces the unexpectedly expensive agreement with Xiao Yao 5 8 9.
- Su Yunhao — A fellow Spirit Hall member whom she rebukes for insulting young visitors and disregarding the organization’s principles 4.
