A Hero in Arknights

People say that once you enter the jianghu, you belong to it forever.

To Wan Jun, the jianghu is a refuge for the disillusioned, a starting point for promising young talents. It is also heroes, ferries, inns, taverns, escort agencies, and sects, as well as old friends, grudges, promises, escapes, and fate.

Back then, he had yet to enter the jianghu. He was not yet Chou Bai’s mentor, nor had he met Lin Qingyan. The sword in his hand was not yet the divine weapon forged by Nian, and the gourd at his waist did not yet hold the wine treasured by Ling. He had not yet received the protective charm personally given to him by Shu...

Those stories, those people, that jianghu should have been far, far removed from Wan Jun, who only wanted to live a quiet life.

That is, until he recited the verse at Tengwang Pavilion: “The sunset glow and a lone wild duck fly side by side; the autumn waters blend with the endless sky.”
