Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 242 Li Ke, do you have a problem with me?

"I just heard you say that you came to Shuangcheng to see Li Ke?"

Master Yi had just signed his name on the paper when he heard the white-haired boy in front of him ask him a question.

He raised his head, nodded gently to the boy, and then tentatively asked, "Yes, I have something I want to talk to Mr. Li Ke about, so if possible, could you pass on my message? I would like to see him."

"I have no ill intentions. I come from Ionia, my name is Yi, and I am the current leader of the Wuju Blade School."

After listening to Yi's words, Ekko found that Yi was easier to talk to than Jax. Hearing Yi's request, he smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Wait a moment while I go and get someone to cover for me."

After Ike finished speaking, he got up and left, while Yi remained where he was, quietly waiting for Ike to return.

A dozen minutes later, Ike returned.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see Li Ke. But let me make this clear first, I don't know if Li Ke will be in the parliament building at this time. But even if you can't see Li Ke, you can see Representative Hilko. Actually, whatever you need to say, you can talk to him."

As they walked, Ike said to Yi.

Yi realized that the place he was heading to was not the same as Jax's. Jax was heading to Zaun's new city, which was built behind the mountains, while he was now heading towards Zaun.

After crossing a bridge, he boarded a strange vehicle, which then began to move along a track. Looking out the window, he realized that he was heading towards the strait.

The mountains on both sides were humid and warm, with ravines crisscrossing the cliffs. Most amazingly, Yi also saw people doing something on those cliffs, as if they were building something on the precipice.
"May I ask what brings you to see Li Ke?" Ike couldn't help but ask Yi as they sat in the car.

Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I hope to get help from Twin Cities. My hometown is called Wuji. It was destroyed when Noxus launched its invasion war. The land was damaged, the forests were destroyed, and the natural spirits of Wuji were polluted as a result, and it has been in chaos ever since."

I've heard that Twin Cities has improved the land conditions in Noxus, so I hope they can help improve the soil and plant trees in my hometown, thereby awakening the spirit of nature there.

"I don't quite understand." Ike blinked, not quite comprehending what Yi was saying.

What does it mean that the local natural spirits have been polluted and have been plunged into chaos ever since?

If the land is polluted, can't we just spend time and resources to improve it normally? But Yi's words make it sound like he's saying the local natural environment has a mind of its own.
No, if the land had self-awareness, what kind of thing would that be?
Yi smiled wryly and explained, "Ionia is a magical land where the spiritual and material realms coexist. It's like two sides of a leaf. To give an example, when one side of the leaf is eaten away by insects, the other side will also be damaged. When the balance of one side is broken, the other side will also be affected."

"That's a place completely different from your Zu'an."

Yi explained to Ike very seriously.

"So you want us to help you repair that material realm in your hometown, is that right?" Ike seemed to understand and looked at Yi as he spoke.

Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and then said earnestly, "I don't know what this will require of me, but I will do my best."

Ike laughed and waved his hand, saying, "If it were Hilko, he would probably refuse your request. You might not like hearing this, but you do look really poor."

Yi's face showed an embarrassed expression.

It's not that he's poor, it's that Ionia is a very poor place. It's rich in natural resources, but that doesn't mean it's rich in other aspects as well.

But what Ekko said next made Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, if it's Li Ke, you can rest assured. Although I don't know what Li Ke will do in the future, he has great respect for a strong person like you. Hmm, he seems to be collecting..."

"Collect what?" Yi asked curiously, seeing Ike suddenly shut his mouth.

His purpose in coming to Shuangcheng was to see Li Ke, so naturally he was extremely interested in Li Ke's affairs.

But Ike suddenly shook his head: "Just pretend I didn't say anything. You'll understand what I mean when you meet Rick."

Yi didn't press the matter. If it were his younger self, he might have pressed for answers, but the current Yi wouldn't. Because of his own actions, he caused the destruction of the Wuji Sword Sect, and the guilt and regret had helped him grow.

He couldn't stand seeing the Noxians wreak havoc on Ionia. Ignoring the advice of his elders, he resolutely took up his sword and faced the Noxian army alone, single-handedly destroying a Noxian coastal legion on the battlefield.

From then on, he earned the title of the youngest sword master. He was proud of it and felt honored by it. Later, Yi began to encourage the disciples in his sect to participate in the war.

Everything seemed to be getting better, but what followed was the Noxians' ruthless retaliation after their fame grew.
That incident made him the true heir to the title of Master Wuji, because he had become the last disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect. His hometown had become ruins, the land was polluted, the spirits of Ionia abandoned Wuji, and Yi began to live in seclusion.

He did not regret his act of rebelling against the Noxians. What Yi regretted was that he should not have been blinded by pride and failed to be cautious and consider the consequences of his actions on the Wuji Sword Sect.

Now, Yi, who has emerged from Wuji once again, has grown in both spiritual strength and swordsmanship. He has become stronger than before, but at the same time, his personality has also changed.

A true master always maintains the mindset of an apprentice.

Sitting quietly, Yi closed his eyes and entered into meditation.

In the Zaun council building, facing Leek who suddenly stood up with a surprised look on his face, Hilko couldn't help but reach out and tap the table.

"What? Rick, you have a problem with Jinx walking down the aisle with me, don't you?"

Vandall muttered under his breath, "Why isn't it me going up? You used to fight me for the boss's position, and now you're fighting me for the father's position. It's fucking enough."

Hearing Vander's mutterings, Hilco couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think you have a suit that suits you? And having Jinx hold your hand? I'm telling you, Vander, is that really having Jinx hold your hand? Are you sure you won't be having Jinx dangling from your arm as you lead the way in? Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Or are you planning to crawl on all fours and have Jinx lead you into the arena?"

"Damn it, Hilko, you've gone too far! Am I a pet? I'm her father!" Vander was furious.

What does it mean to have Jinx lead me into the arena?
Hilko, you motherfucker! That's fucking outrageous! Listen to yourself when you say that, is that even human?

Am I fucking a dog?

Vandall was certainly aware that his appearance was not suitable to accompany Jinx, but couldn't he even complain a little?

Seeing Hield and Vandel arguing, Jayce watched with amusement. With Li Ke back, the issues between Noxus and Demacia were resolved. After all, Li Ke's stance represented the stance of both cities. Now, both Demacia and Noxus had bowed their heads, and with many Demacians imprisoned, what other country would dare cause trouble in the two cities?

Therefore, Jayce relaxed again during this period, and in that relaxed state, he loved to go to Zaun.

It's worth noting that Jayce has spent significantly more time in Zaun than in Piltover in the past two years.
"I have no objection. What objection could I possibly have? I just... I just noticed something was off," Li Ke said, coming back to his senses.

"Something's not right? What's wrong with it? The date was perfect. Janna said it would be a beautiful, sunny day, and it even happens to be Jinx's birthday. What could be wrong with that?"

“That’s not what I meant. Never mind, I can’t explain it to you.” Rick looked at Hilko speechlessly, then tapped the table and called out, “Jana.”

"What are you going to do now?" The little bluebird appeared on the table with a resentful tone, its wings covering its head, seemingly asleep.

If Janna goes to sleep, it means she's recently overeaten the power of faith and is currently digesting it.

"What happened just now? For a moment I felt a powerful sword intent, as if it was confronting someone. Just as I was about to capture it, that intent disappeared. You should know what happened, right?" Li Ke asked Janna.

Hearing what Li Ke said, Hilko and Vander stopped arguing and looked at Janna at the same time.

Then the goddess raised one wing, yawned, opened her small mouth, and mumbled somewhat incoherently, "Two very strong people have come to Zaun."

"Were they smuggled in?" Li Ke's expression turned serious.

“No, those two seem to be here for your wedding too. They were very obedient to the enforcers, lined up properly, and didn’t cause any trouble, so I didn’t bother with them. But Li Ke, I can’t really control those two, since they’ve already entered Zaun.” Janna thought for a moment and said seriously.

When Janna discovered the two powerful humans, they had already entered Zaun aboard a Hextech zeppelin, and at that point, Janna had no way to stop them.

Janna is indeed a demigod, but her offensive power is always her weakness. Her strength lies in making 1+1 into 3, which is her strength in support. In a 1v1 situation, Janna is usually on the defensive side, meaning that she can hold off the opponent without getting hurt, but the opponent also cannot get hurt.

Therefore, Janna sensed that the two guys were very strong. It wasn't that she couldn't beat them; she was no longer the pitiful little girl that the gods used to bully.
She is now a god worshipped by the people of the coast! Driven by the Twin Cities, Nagakaporos's followers are less than a hair on her head!

However, if a fight breaks out in Zaun, Janna won't be able to fight freely.

Li Ke understood what Janna meant, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

What does Janna mean?
Yes, even if we wanted to control those two powerful guys now, we couldn't, because once they entered Zaun, trying to control them would affect countless Zaun residents.

After all, demigods are humanoid nuclear bombs!
When war breaks out, the world changes. In the battle of Freljord, the Bear Mountain was destroyed, and the sea level of the Frozen Sea was lowered. That was a true cataclysmic change in the world.

Therefore, Li Ke became worried.

But just as Li Ke was wondering who the other person was, he suddenly turned his head, and Janna also raised her head to look out the window.

Li Ke walked to the window in a few steps, and Hilko and the others followed.

At this moment, in the west window of the third floor of the Zaun Council building, a group of the most powerful and influential people in Zaun were peering through the window.

Rick was at the front, with Hilco beside him, Janna nestled on Rick's head, Jayce behind Rick, and Vander squeezed in with a big wolf's head.

Then, everyone saw Ike smiling below, and a middle-aged man beside Ike wearing a robe and carrying a weapon that looked like a scimitar or a longsword.

"."

When Li Ke saw the other person, his expression was strange. Then he reached out and poked the little bluebird on his head with his finger.

With her fingertip sinking into the little bluebird's plump, warm belly, Janna snapped in an annoyed tone, "What are you doing!"

"You can go back now, it's alright, I know this person."

"Tsk!" Janna flapped her wings and slapped Rick's forehead to vent her anger. Then, she disappeared in a flash, probably going back to catch up on her sleep.

Li Ke opened the window and shouted down:

"Welcome to Zuan, Master Yi."

Yi looked up and saw a black-haired youth whose skin color and appearance were similar to his own. In particular, he had a mark between his eyebrows, and the other person also had a mark between his eyebrows.

It looked like a lotus seed pattern? It wasn't very obvious, but Yi could still make it out with his sharp eyesight.

"I didn't expect you to come to Zu'an. Come on up." Li Ke shouted to Yi.

Beside Yi, Ike waved and said, "Yi, that's Li Ke, the one you wanted to see. I'll take you there."

Before Ike could finish speaking, Yi lifted his leg, his boot lightly tapping the ground, and then... he flew up?!
It flew towards the window.

This scene left Hilko and the others stunned.

Is this another flying creature?!

Li Ke used to be able to fly, but he borrowed the power of the goddess Janna back then. After going to Freljord this time, he was able to fly on his own. And now, a middle-aged man can fly too!
Then, everyone made way, and Yi stepped through the window into the room.

Having just shown off his skills, he was now very polite, bowing gently to everyone.

"Yi, from the Wuji Sword Sect." Yi gave a simple self-introduction, exuding goodwill.

“Zuan, Li Ke.” Li Ke smiled and extended his hand to Yi.

If it's easy, then there's nothing to worry about.
Yi is a typical kind and righteous person!
However, there is a problem.
The master of the sword intent has been found. The person who released that powerful sword intent must be Yi, since that sword intent is much stronger than the Gale Sword Intent that Li Ke has mastered.

But here's the problem.
Another person who could stand up to Yi, and even provoke Yi to unleash a strong fighting spirit and sword intent.
Who could he be?
Li Ke thought to himself with a strange expression.
