Personality

History
Art of War - Swift Wind
Xiao Zong's immortality meant he used to spend his infinite days doing things like getting drunk and practicing swordsmanship for fun. He wandered around Miraland trying to find meaning to his life, but everything seemed the same to him.
One day he met a boy in whom he saw great potential. For a great period of time, Xiao Zong tried his best to support the boy, but one day he received a letter from the boy. He had given up on life due to love, which disappointed Xiao Zong.
For sixty years after this, Xiao Zong stayed in the Flower Field of Cloud, hoping he would find somebody who would inspire him. As time passed, he relied more upon material things to fill his mind.
He then met Zhu Yuxian, who gave his life meaning again. Xiao Zong left the Flower Field. He tried to teach Yuxian how to erase his own memories, but he did not believe he had the potential to do it. However, Xiao Zong was proven wrong when Zhu Yuxian stabbed Ming Shuiyuan and Xiao Zong had to step in to save her.
Art of War - Misty Peaks
Xiao Zong climbed the Misty Peaks one morning, drinking, when he happened upon two soldiers. They told him he couldn't be there and one tried to stab him with his sword, but he easily deflects the attack and turns it around, killing the soldier. Xiao Zong suppresses the flare he tries to send out and tells the officer not to interrupt, as it's nearly time.
All of a sudden, light comes from the direction of Jinlin palace, which is the Empress of Cloud performing the ceremony that Bai Yongxi taught her and Fu Su assisted her with. Xiao Zong lets out a fanatical laugh and remarks that they didn't disappoint him.
Relationships
Zhu Yuxian
Xiao Zong believed Zhu Yuxian was unique and interesting, and had "the most complex mind and the simplest feelings at the same time". Zhu Yuxian exceeded all of his expectations.
They formed a friendship which caused Xiao Zong to leave the flower field after sixty years. Though he didn't believe he was strong enough initially, Xiao Zong taught him how to erase his own memories.
