Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the entire Avarosa tribe, the power of ascension erupted completely.

The surging energy erupted from Zuo Chi's hand, almost instantly engulfing the Kavi in ​​his hand, and then gathered into a thick energy pillar that shot straight into the sky!

Wherever the golden beam of light passed, everything in its path vanished into nothingness. The beam even dispersed some of the dark clouds in the sky, illuminating most of the Avarosa tribe's territory.

After a long while, the pillar of light slowly disappeared.

At that moment, a corpse missing its upper body fell onto the arena, and the short sword from before had long since disappeared.

Slowly withdrawing his arm, Zuo Chi looked indifferently down at the bottom of the arena.

There wasn't a sound at all within the entire Avarosa tribe's territory; even the howling of the wind and snow had become much quieter.

Everyone was looking at Zuo Chi, whether it was the audience below the stage or Ai Xi above.

For those of them who toil in the wind and snow all day, surviving by primitive means, everything Zuo Chi demonstrated was beyond their capabilities.

Both physical and magical abilities filled them with despair.

If Kavi was a powerful warrior just now, then Zuo Chi is no different from a god to them now.

What's the difference between this and a martial arts world having a cultivator come to cultivate immortality?

They even felt that their own War Mother, Aisha, was far from reaching Zuo Chi's level.

If such people want to become Ashe's blood allies, how should they compete for it?

Despite their resentment, no one dared to go on stage and risk their lives.

And this is exactly the effect Zuo Chi wanted!

He must fully demonstrate his power; only in this way can he deter others from wanting to join the Ash Blood Alliance.

Moreover, since he does not belong to any tribe, there is no issue of favoritism towards his own tribe, and other tribes cannot find any point of imbalance.

In this way, the problem is perfectly solved.

During the long silence, Zuo Chi did not urge him, nor did he shout arrogantly like Kavi. Instead, he stood quietly on the ring.

Those below the arena were equally bewildered by Zuo Chi's gaze.

Finally, Ashina's voice, trembling with excitement, broke the silence and ended the strange atmosphere in the arena.

"Let's end this. I choose him."

Once again, Zuo Chi appeared beside her when she was about to despair, pulling her out of the abyss.

She stared blankly at Zuo Chi's back, hoping that he would turn around and look at her at this moment. However, Zuo Chi did not look in her direction until the Frost Priest announced the results.

Sensing her War Mother's intentions, the Frost Priest loudly announced, "Since no one else is going up on stage, I hereby declare the winner of this martial arts tournament to be: Zuo Chi!"

Upon hearing the announcement from above, Zuo Chi nodded slightly, then stepped off the stage and headed towards Lei Ze's location.

But at that moment, the Frost Priest's voice made him pause slightly.

"The War Mother's wedding will be held tomorrow. You may take a short rest before attending the wedding."

"Left Pool Warriors, victors, please come up to the high platform."

Turning his head to look at the high platform, Zuo Chi's gaze met Ai Xi's for the first time today.

At that moment, Zuo Chi saw Ai Xi's eyes filled with grievance.

"Ok?"

Zuo Chi was puzzled. He had clearly won, so why did Aisha still look unhappy?

Moreover, Zuo Chi was puzzled to find that his system had not yet notified him that the task was completed.

Could it be that Ashe's wishes go beyond this?

Shaking his head slightly, Zuo Chi stopped pondering and turned to walk towards the high platform.

Seeing Zuo Chi walking towards them, Sigra beside Aishe and the Frost Priest on the other side exchanged a smile, greeted Aishe, and left the platform.

As a result, only Aisha and Zuo Chi, who had just come up, remained on the platform.

Aisha remained seated, her hands resting on the edges of the seat on either side of her thighs, her eyes fixed on Zuo Chi as he walked toward her.

However, Aisha did not see any joy on Zuo Chi's face.

Zuo Chi's expression was as indifferent as still water, and his eyes were utterly calm.

"I have successfully completed my mission and have resolved this issue for you."

Aisha gently stood up and gave Zuo Chi a bitter smile.

"Zuo Chi, thank you."

"It's nothing, I'm just helping myself. By the way..."

Zuo Chi suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay if we don't hold a wedding. We're just putting on an act anyway, so as to put an end to the idea of ​​those who want to become your blood allies."

"Then I'll head back now. I promised Sejuani I'd go to her place, so it's time to get ready to leave."

"."

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Aisha's body swayed slightly.

She looked up at Zuo Chi's retreating figure and felt incredibly miserable. The disappointment in her heart made it hard for her to breathe.

"Zuo Chi!"

Finally, just after Zuo Chi took a few steps, Ai Xi called out to him in a trembling voice.

Zuo Chi paused, then turned around.

He added, "If there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know."

"Why do you suddenly seem to hate me? And why do you always want to leave?" Ash asked softly.

"Hmm?" Zuo Chi paused slightly, somewhat confused by Ai Xi's meaning.

After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Chi said, "I can see that you only reluctantly accepted me as your nominal blood ally because of the difficulties your tribe is facing. In that case, I naturally won't stay in the Avarosa tribe and get in your way."

Besides, I don't know anyone in Freljord, so I guess I'll have to go to Winter's Claw?

"I don't!"

After hearing Zuo Chi's explanation, Ai Xi's grievances gradually turned into doubt and injustice.

"I've never found you an eyesore, so why are you saying this?"

"You told me that yourself that night."

Zuo Chi tilted his head and began to repeat what Aishe had said:

“I said I would become your blood sworn brother, and you said no. I said I wouldn’t force you to consummate our marriage, and you still said no. I said I would absolutely not touch you and would leave after the conference, and you still said no. Even when you finally reluctantly agreed to become your blood sworn brother, it was only because the tribal problems left you with no other choice.”

"Since you hate me so much, I have to try my best not to appear in front of you."

As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, Aisha was stunned. At the same time, she couldn't help but recall her conversation with Zuo Chi the night before last.

Gradually, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been rejecting Zuo Chi all along!

No wonder he hugged her earlier, but then left without saying goodbye.

No wonder Zuo Chi felt so distant from her today, and even canceled their wedding in the end.

It turns out the problem lay with her.

"Zuo Chi, I didn't really mean to refuse you back then. I just... I just promised Sejuani and didn't want to steal her blood pact."

"what?"

A row of question marks appeared on Zuo Chi's forehead: "When did I become Sejuani's blood ally?"

"Anyway, I really didn't mean to reject you, you have to believe me!"

Aisha nestled close to Zuo Chi, looked up at him with a pitiful expression, wishing she had an extra mouth so she could better explain things to him.

"Then," Zuo Chi looked at Aisha, "why did you suddenly change your mind later?"

“Because…” This time, Aisha hesitated slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

But she was, after all, the Mother of the War, so after a moment's hesitation, she said frankly, "Because I've realized I like you, and I don't want to give you up to Sejuani!"

At this point, Zuo Chi and Ai Xi stopped talking and just stared at each other blankly.

After a long silence, Aisha asked softly, "Zuo Chi, are you still leaving?"

Zuo Chi hesitated slightly, just about to speak.

But Ashe immediately added, "Even if you're going to leave, wait until after the wedding. You promised to help me; leaving now will raise suspicion."

After saying this, Zuo Chi saw that the pleading look in Aisha's eyes deepened.

Looking at Aisha, who was staring at him pitifully, and recalling everything that had happened recently, Zuo Chi realized that he had misunderstood.

Turning slightly, Zuo Chi faced Ai Xi.

At this moment, Zuo Chi suddenly noticed that Ai Xi gently tiptoed and wrapped her arms around her neck.

Then, under Zuo Chi's dazed gaze, Ai Xi awkwardly but proactively kissed Zuo Chi.

"!!!"

The Winter's Claw tribe in western Freljord.
