Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Ashe nodded: "The warriors who came to our aid are members of a northern vassal tribe of the Avarosan tribe, so they are not traveling with us. The remaining members of the Avarosan tribe need to stay here to help."

Upon hearing Aisha's explanation, Zuo Chi nodded in agreement.

However, seeing that Aisha's face was somewhat pale due to the previous battle and not having slept all night, Zuo Chi still reached out his hand to her.

"Are you still able to travel? Or I can take you with me."

Aisha raised her head, her icy blue eyes gazing at Zuo Chi.

Finally, she nodded slightly and placed her hand in Zuo Chi's hand.

"I'm small and very light."

Chapter 104 Heart-Fluttering!

As the night was about to pass, faint orange-yellow lights began to appear on the horizon.

At that moment, two figures swept across the sky, their unintentional bursts of power causing the snow on the ground to scatter. The shimmering snowflakes reflected a faint light, heralding the arrival of a new day in Freljord.

In the sky, Zuo Chi held Aisha's slender and supple waist and flew with her towards the center of the Avarosa tribe's settlement.

Because of her previous battle with Sejuani, and the fact that she had exhausted her strength to resist the Frozen Tomb, Ashe could only nestle in Zuo Chi's arms and let him carry her on the journey.

Leaning against Zuo Chi's chest, Ai Xi pursed her lips, lost in thought.

The two flew very fast. Aisha's silver hair was blown by the wind and hit Zuo Chi's face, but Zuo Chi didn't care. He just kept traveling quickly.

Finally, as dawn broke, Zuo Chi and Ai Shi returned to the center of the Avarosa tribe's settlement.

They slowly descended from the sky and stood outside the base, Zuo Chi and Ai Xi facing each other.

Looking at the crowd of people coming and going around him, Zuo Chi said softly, "Aishie, get some rest."

Because of the large number of tribal members around, Aisha was forced to keep a distance from Zuochi.

She looked at Zuo Chi curiously: "And you?"

"Me?" Zuo Chi turned his gaze eastward. "My friends are over there, so I should go back too."

Zuo Chi then looked at Aisha: "What's wrong?"

Aisha shook her head: "If you want to find out anything, you can come find me, or...would you like to stay here?"

After all, he was her benefactor, and Aisha didn't want Zuochi to continue living in the noisy tent area.

However, Zuo Chi declined Ai Xi's offer: "Never mind, no need to trouble yourself."

Seeing that Zuo Chi had no intention of doing so, Aisha did not press the matter further. She turned around and walked unsteadily toward the camp. Zuo Chi also did not linger and walked toward his previous residence.

When they returned to their lodgings, Razer and his people greeted them with great concern.

"Young man, where have you been? If it weren't for your luggage, we would have thought you left without saying goodbye."

Zuo Chi smiled and waved to Lei Ze: "I made some new friends and spent some time with them."

Razer smiled and nodded: "The tournament is starting in a day. I hope we can get the protection of War Mother Ashe when the time comes."

If we succeed, you can come back to our tribe with us; at least you won't go hungry.

Zuo Chi simply smiled kindly at the old man's words and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Zuo Chi was alright, Lei Ze and the others didn't ask any more questions and turned back to their own tents.

Sitting in his seat, Zuo Chi recalled the events of the night.

When Zuo Chi came to Freljord before, he never expected that he would encounter a battle that would involve all three War Mothers as soon as he arrived.

It seems the relationship between Ashe, Sejuani, and Lissandra can truly be described as extremely tense.

There are also Ashe and Sejuani's wishes.

Zuo Chi doesn't know what Ashe wants yet, but he estimates it's something like unifying Freljord or achieving peace and prosperity, since only such things truly suit her identity as the War Mother of the Avarosan tribe.

This is really difficult.

Unifying Freljord is something even Volibear with his Ursus tribe might not be able to achieve.

Otherwise, the ancient gods wouldn't have had their followers so relentlessly plundered by the Frost Sisters.

Sejuani's wish is also somewhat difficult.

Ensuring an entire tribe has enough to eat and wear during the cold winter requires an enormous amount of supplies.

Where can we find these supplies?

Zuo Chi became engrossed in these thoughts, and having not slept all night, he soon drifted off to sleep.

For the rest of the day, Zuo Chi stayed in the tent and did not go out again.

Just as darkness fell and the wind and snow outside began to rage again, a conversation between two people walking past the tent caught Zuo Chi's attention.

"There's trouble again with the War Mother. I heard it's the Snowwalking Tribe again. Their War Mother is supposedly very strong, and they're going to openly challenge her."

"This kind of thing is all too common. Because of the blood alliance, every subordinate faction wants Warmother Ashe to select blood alliances from their tribe in order to improve the status of their own tribe. Naturally, some people will become angry and embarrassed after being rejected."

"It's only been half a month, and three people have already challenged the Mother of War. I can't even imagine how chaotic things will get after the martial arts tournament."

"Sigh, this is not something we should care about. Anyway, we are not qualified to participate in the conference."

As the conversation faded into the distance, Zuo Chi, inside the tent, frowned.

Zuo Chi could glean a lot of information from the conversation between the two people.

Someone has challenged Ashe? Is it because of the Blood Alliance?

It seems there are many more intricacies involved in Ashe's recruitment of the Blood Alliance.

But given Ashe's current physical condition, is she able to defeat her fellow Warmother challenger?

After slowly getting up and greeting Lei Ze and the others, Zuo Chi headed towards the central area of ​​the Avarosa tribe.

When Zuo Chi arrived at the place where he had parted ways with Ai Xi that morning, it was already packed with a huge crowd.

Everyone was looking at the central area of ​​the camp, and they were whispering among themselves.

Following everyone's gaze, Zuo Chi also looked in that direction.

There, a woman wearing an animal skin vest and covered in indigo tattoos held a long knife and looked ahead with a defiant expression.

In the direction her gaze was directed, Ashe stood proudly, holding the Frostbow.

This is already the umpteenth time Ashe has faced off against a challenger.

The harsh living environment of Freljord has shaped its unique survival rules.

Within the tribe, everyone is qualified to challenge the War Mother, and the victor becomes the new leader.

Those who fail have almost no chance of survival.

The War Mother will not allow anyone who challenges her authority to live, and if the challenger wins, there is no chance that the previous War Mother will be spared, because it is almost no different from a bomb that could explode at any time.

Previously, there weren't many people challenging Ashe, but after the announcement of the tournament, the number of challengers began to surge.

All the tribes wanted Ashe to choose blood allies from among them, but with so many tribes, how could Ashe possibly agree to all of them?

Every challenger met their end by being turned into an ice sculpture by Ashe's True Ice Longbow.

As the reincarnation of Avarossa and the wielder of the "Holy Bow," Ashe must establish her position through countless battles.

But now, Ashe's hand holding the True Ice Longbow was trembling slightly.

The previous battle with Sejuani had already drained her strength, and resisting Lissandra's Frozen Tomb only made her already weakened body even worse.

Furthermore, after returning to her tribe, she immediately began to make arrangements for the martial arts tournament, leaving her no time to rest.

It can be said that her current fighting power is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak.

But if she didn't do something when provoked by the War Mother of a subordinate tribe in front of the entire tribe, her hard-earned reputation would be ruined.

Ashe couldn't bear the thought of losing to her opponent because of her physical condition.

From afar, Zuo Chi, who had witnessed all of this, had a complicated expression on his face. Looking at Aisha, who was surrounded by the crowd, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Behind the dazzling glamour, there is probably endless hardship.

After rummaging through the pocket at his waist, Zuo Chi found another bluish-green gem in his hand.

The Life Gem, which I obtained from Thousand Tail Ningran, I have two in total.

I gave Syndra one before, and this is the only one left.

Zuo Chi held the Life Gem in his hand, and a blazing crimson-gold light emanated from it. The life force within the Life Gem rapidly gathered in his palm under Zuo Chi's guidance.

A moment later, the emerald green gem turned into powder and fell to the ground. Zuo Chi pushed through the crowd and walked forward.

By this time, everyone's attention was focused on Ashe and the challenger, and everyone began to strike the ground with their weapons in unison.

But just then, Zuo Chi came to Ai Xi's side.

Aisha was clearly taken aback when she saw Zuo Chi suddenly appear beside her.

"Zuo Chi? What are you doing here?"

Aisha's voice was calm, but Zuo Chi could see a deep worry in her icy blue eyes.

Zuo Chi smiled gently at Ai Xi, then extended his right hand.
