Xiao: talks about 9 characters, talked about by 12 characters. In the story, Xiao has a “Defined relationship” with Venti, Zhongli, Ganyu and 2 others. Every tie comes with the original line from the game, and the voice lines play right on the page.
- BeidouAbout Beidou
Beidou? I have nothing to do with her. Though there is such a thing as the leviathan. As a mere human, she has proven her power in defeating Haishan.
- VentiAbout Venti
Venti? So that's the name he goes by. His tunes are... forget it.
- ZhongliAbout Zhongli
Can I ask... Zhongli — what does he do with his days? Huh? Birds, antiques, flowers...
Hmm... What deeper meaning do they hold?
- GanyuAbout Ganyu
Ganyu is neither mortal nor illuminated beast. Wandering both the mortal and Adepti realms with duty as her sole guide, it was inevitable that she would become perplexed... What? Me? You believe a Yaksha who knows nothing more than how to massacre countless souls and emerge unscathed is a suitable mentor for such an individual? ...Your mind occupies a very different world from that which your body inhabits.
- Hu TaoAbout Hu Tao
Hu Tao? Her liveliness is irritating. Fortunately, she is also humorous, so you need not worry about her growing into a boring human.
- ShenheAbout Shenhe
It seems Shenhe places a great deal of trust in you. Well, how could she not. There are few people in the world as kind and good-natured as you.
- YelanAbout Yelan
I've heard that she once investigated The Chasm, following the trail of the Millelith. If she can investigate mysteries like that on her own, she must be someone of rare skill.
- BaizhuAbout Baizhu
You want... Baizhu to make a medicine to take away my pain? I understand your intentions, but mortal medicine has no effect on adepti.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Warnings
If a day comes where even you are taken by the darkness, it will be up to me.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Trust
Do not fall prey to the darkness. I have no mercy.
Though perhaps you can stand your ground alone.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Drowsiness
Who's there? Oh... You think I sleep? You have no respect for the ways of the adepti.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Lantern Rite
The Lantern Rite? The time for humans to discard their glowing trash into the sea has returned... How childish...
Though if you insist... I will go with you.
- BeidouAbout Xiao
One year on the eve of the Lantern Rite, we ran into a storm as we were returning to port. Try as we did, we only made it back to Liyue Harbor in the dead of night, long after the lanterns had all been released. As I looked towards Guyun Stone Forest, I saw an adeptus, floating in the air, in the form of what appeared to be a young boy. I guess it is like the legends say — there really must be those that watch over Liyue, even if they cannot be seen.
- ChongyunAbout Xiao
The Conqueror of Demons himself has defended Liyue side-by-side with we exorcists for generations, day after day, night after night. I have the utmost respect for Adeptus Xiao. It's just... Why must he be so disparaging toward us? He says our repertoire is lacking and our power is trivial. I'm sorry, but I just can't accept that.
- KeqingAbout Xiao
I feel like now that we live in the age of mankind's rule, it's time for the legendary boy-adeptus to be released from duty. We no longer need a defender of that kind, because we are capable of working through the challenges we face on our own strength.
- QiqiAbout Xiao: Name
Sounds like a historical artifact to me.
- QiqiAbout Xiao: Memory
Remind me, have I met him before?
- ZhongliAbout Xiao
You speak of the young adeptus of Guili Plains... *sigh* Still fulfilling his duty to this very day. Please give this Remedium Tertiorum to him on my behalf. Oh, yes... be sure not to let Paimon eat them. Nothing of this world can withstand the power of this medicine.
- GanyuAbout Xiao
He seems like a bit of an outsider, socially. Probably just his personality... I can understand that, to be honest, but I'm not really about to try and get close to him. I mean... all the people he's ever agreed to team up with are no longer with us...
- Hu TaoAbout Xiao
What would I know of the adepti? Ai-yai-yai, that kind of stuff is top-secret! Don't come asking me about it!
- ShenheAbout Xiao
My first impression of him was that he's not one to smile. After meeting him again more recently, however, he's still as reserved as ever, but... he seems a lot more relaxed now. Maybe he... met someone special.
- YelanAbout Xiao
The elders in my clan once said that we must always show the utmost respect to the Vigilant Yaksha. Apparently, the only time that our ancestor would gain some temporary relief from his insanity was when passing by the Wangshu Inn. It must have been the comforting effect of his presence that wards off evil spirits. That said, if I ever have the honor of fighting side by side with the Conqueror of Demons, I will focus only on the mission. I cannot let myself be distracted by concerns about his status.
- BaizhuAbout Xiao
Baizhu: Only the most magnanimous soul could labor to preserve life by slaying evil spirits. I was once fortunate enough to see the Conqueror of Demons with my own eyes. We even brought him back to the pharmacy to take care of him for a day. Unfortunately, I did not know his true identity at the time, and didn't even have a chance to speak with him before he left on his own.
Changsheng: But you've seen him since then, haven't you? There's no reason to be upset.
Baizhu: Yes, you're right.
- XianyunAbout Xiao
The Conqueror of Demons is even more withdrawn than oneself — he has been sighted a mere handful of times at social gatherings over the centuries... One was interested to learn that you are on rather good terms with him — what sort of conversations do the two of you tend to have? Oh, and do let me know when you next plan to see him. Perhaps one could make some tofu pudding for you to pass on to him.
- ZibaiAbout Xiao
I've heard there was a time when the Yakshas, led by Morax, cleansed evil from all corners of the land. They performed many outstanding military feats in the process, but it came at the cost of a karmic debt which tormented them... Today, only General Alatus remains. I wonder if his karmic debt still troubles him? Perhaps there is some way in which I could help... What? Someone has already healed him? I see... Very good. I'm glad he's at peace.
