"I'm a humble person."

It's still night, the courtyard of the East Islanders of Ionia.

The robber sat in the cherry blossoms and said so.

"When I was very young, I had no parents. It was the teacher who adopted me. He taught me ninjutsu, taught me to read, and taught me to be a human being. My biggest wish in my life is to hope that one day, the teacher can recognize me and be proud of me. It's a pity..." Jie seemed to be talking to himself. He said here, smiling self-deprecatingly. The laughter was in the empty courtyard where only Anxiang was alone, like a kind of lonely sigh, "I have a senior brother who is better than me in everything. Ninjutsu, he learns more ninjutsu than me, and even he is humble and polite than me. I can't beat him in every competition. The most important thing is that he has a father, I don't."

Chen Senran still didn't interrupt. He sat quietly opposite the robbery, listening to the life of the man opposite him.

"Do you know? I hate him." Jie laughed in a low voice and repeated, "I was so jealous of him that I looked for ways to become stronger as if I was crazy. Finally, I found it. In the forbidden area of ​​the clan, a voice told me, Come on, I can be stronger, I didn't hesitate. Although it was an untouchable taboo, I did not hesitate. In order to defeat him, I really beat him in the end, but... the teacher looked at me, but he was not what I wanted. He was very disappointed, and I was also disappointed. I thought he would be happy and proud of me, but I was wrong."

Chen Senran was still silent. He knew that he didn't need to speak, but Ji just needed to find someone to talk to.

"In the years when I was exiled and wandering, I thought a lot. I wondered why the teacher didn't like me, what I did wrong, I didn't understand, I was very angry. I thought it was him who abandoned me. It was him who adopted me and gave me everything. I treated him as a father, but he didn't want me anymore. I was like an abandoned cat. A very stupid idea?" Jie pressed his head, as if laughing at his stupidity, "It's very stupid. Now that I think about it, he has always loved me, like his son, but... I was so stupid, and later..."

"Later I brought my people back here. I was not actually trying to take revenge. I just wanted to let him see. What I did was not wrong. I wanted to prove to him that I could, but..." Jie sighed again, with deep helplessness. "He thought I was here to take revenge, so he stood at the door. He threw his sword at his feet. He said to me, Jie, my child, come back."

"return……"

"return……"

"return……"

"return……"

The disaster was repeated several times in a row, as if he was possessed by a devil.

"But..." He suddenly growled. "I can't come back, everything has changed."

There was a moment of silence in the yard, the dark night was silent, carrying anger, and some past events that could never be returned.

"Actually, for a moment, I was shaken." Jie continued, "so I followed him here, right here."

It's here, this courtyard full of cherry blossoms.

Many years ago, an old mentor took his disciple who was wrongly astrayed, sitting here, trying to persuade the disciple to return to the right path. At that time, he might have cooked a pot of tea and said to his disciple, come back.

"Do you know my name? Jie, do you know what the word Jie means?" Jie asked this, but immediately asked and answered himself, " Jie, in the ancient words of Ionia, it means great disaster and disaster. My teacher told me that he gave me this name because when he saw me the first face, he knew that I was a disaster in his destiny, and he might die in my hands one day."

"You really killed him, too." Chen Senran finally spoke.

"Yes, I killed him because he asked me to destroy the box. He asked me to return to the so-called balance. He felt that the path I was walking was wrong." Jie suddenly burst into laughter as he said, "Is it right? He said to me at that time, "Agai, Jie, come back, don't go further and further on this path!!!"

Many years ago, on that afternoon when the setting sun was as bloody as the sun, the old mentor poured a cup of tea for his disciples and roared like a lion.

"Astraight." Jie almost bite word by word, "The so-called "Astraight" is just a difficult road."

No one knew what Jie was thinking in the yard that afternoon when only Jie and his mentor were there.

What people know is that, after a painful shout, he killed his teacher, the man who raised him for more than ten years and taught him everything.

Perhaps, he was also sad when the knife in his hand stabbed into the old heart.

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom." Jie said this in the end.

Cherry blossoms, the cherry blossoms here are probably stained with the blood of the past, and they bloom very brightly.

"So, now, what should I call you? Master Jie? Or..." Chen Senran suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

"You can call me a catastrophe, because I am a catastrophe and... the king of shadows in the void."

When the morning sun shines on the temporary camp of the Balance Sect.

Chen Senran walked out of his tent and stretched.

Today is a good day and everything smells so good.

After breakfast, Arella once again interrogated the Noxus messenger.

After walking through the necessary cutstone, Arrilia finally expressed her intention to leave.

She now needs to return to the rebel camp and report the news to Kalma waiting for Kalma's final decision.

"Then, Miss Arrelia, I hope I can get good news." Kennan's tender voice sounded so steady and unpredictable at the moment.

"I hope so too. After all, Ionia is our Ionia." Irelia nodded and waved her whip toward the distance.

And Chen Senran, he followed Arrilia and walked forward. However, when he was about to leave, he took a look at the direction of the valley intentionally or unintentionally.

The cherry blossoms are about to bloom.

————————————

valley.

The residence of the Shadow Warrior Order.

In the East Island courtyard full of cherry blossoms.

Ji sat in the middle of the yard, and a pot of tea was cooking in front of him.

A bird flew into this yard and stopped on the branches.

On the branches, the cherry blossoms finally bloomed.

Open, so gorgeous as blood. (To be continued...)
