Liang Xun is an NPC in Arknights. He is a supporting character in Invitation to Wine, Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow, and Such is the Joy of Our Reunion.
Background[edit]
Liang is the current magistrate in the Yanese city of Shangshu, ranking fourth place within the imperial government.[1] He is known to be a quiet person with a poker face all the time, but his earnest desire to serve the people makes him an honorable person. He is also the childhood friend of Mr. Lee and Waai Fu's father Huai Tianpei who studied together in the same school. Right after Huai's sudden disappearance, he uses all his means to help young Waai and search for her lost father. Otherwise, he and Mr. Lee remains close contact with each other and often become drinking companions whenever the latter returns to the Yanese heartland.
Liang himself is not only a native of Shangshu, but also personally experienced the Catastrophe that hit the city around thirty years ago (Terran year 1072). Amidst the disaster, the young boy was the only one who witnessed the sudden disappearance of the Xunri Peak, the missing eighteenth peak of Shangshu. It was here that Liang saw Ling standing at the pavilion on the peak and sharing her toast to the heavens. The event left an unforgettable memory in him, and Liang has since been trying to search for any trace from Ling.[2]
Liang and Ning Ciqiu are close colleagues, and they are implied to have a crush on each other. However, their relationship would have matured had not their different ranks divided them. Nevertheless, the two often hang out together, and Liang often cares a lot about her.

Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow[edit]
Liang Xun follows the Grand Tutor to the garrison city of Yumen, whereby he is assigned as the city's advisor. He is instructed to assist the Lord Exorcist, Zuo Xuanliao in regards to the bestial Sui matter. The issue lies in Grandmaster Chongyue's sword, whcih contains the Feranmut part of his consciousness.[3] He does not want the sword to remain in Yumen, but the Lord Exorcist won't let it go. Thus, he devises a plan to have the sword passed down to a strong warrior who the Lord Exorcist would accept. He arranges it so that the person at the top of Yumen Arena's leaderboard—his old friend and kung fu master, Huai Tianpei—would receive the sword.[4] He later personally pays Huai a visit at his clinic along with Lee, where briefly they catch up on old times.[5]
Such is the Joy of Our Reunion[edit]
After Yumen docks near Baizao, Liang Xun decides to visit Ning Ciqiu at her estate. He sits down for a meal with her and her grandfather, Ning Shu, whereupon they discuss the bestial Sui issue. Before leaving, Liang Xun gifts them a batch of Yumen's Tea and Liedaozi wine.[6]
In an effort to prevent the Grand Commandant from acting rashly and delay the True Lung's decree on the Sui issue, Liang Xun sets fire to the Feast of a Hundred Delicacies, causing the feast to be suspended. His actions are discovered by the Grand Tutor, who reprimands him for taking such risky gambles. In spite of this, the Grand Tutor only gives him a demotion, assigning him as a transcriber for the Sky Mirror Pavilion.[7]
