Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

He sat there quietly, his eyes showing neither the same hope nor the same impatience as others.

On the contrary, the man looked dejected, with a hint of regret and fear in his eyes.

He had been sitting here for a whole day, but he still hadn't gone to where the Spirit Blossom was.

The frightened crowd resumed their pace and continued walking forward, while the man buried his head deeply between his legs.

"Master, Brother"

He murmured softly, an intensely negative emotion constantly emanating from him.

At this moment, the man's eyes flickered, and he raised his head to look ahead.

In front of him, Zuo Chi, with a faint smile on his face, extended his right hand.

"Aren't you going to speak with the deceased, Lord Yasuo?"

"You are."

Yasuo looked at Zuo Chi in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Zuo Chi chuckled softly, "I heard there's a Spirit Blossom Festival in Ionia, so I came to check it out. I see everyone else is really looking forward to seeing their family or loved ones, so why are you just sitting here?"

"A family member or a loved one?"

Yasuo murmured something, placed his hand on Zuo Chi's outstretched right hand, and was pulled up by him.

He gazed at the sacred tree on the distant mountain peak and said to Zuo Chi with a complicated expression, "Perhaps I am no longer qualified to be their family or loved ones."

Zuo Chi came to Yasuo's side and looked at the spirit tree with him.

"Whether you are qualified or not is not for you to decide. After all, even if Yongen died, he never knew the true cause of Elder Suma's death, so it is normal for him to have grievances against you."

"!!!"

The moment Zuo Chi finished speaking, Yasuo's body beside him suddenly swayed.

He quickly turned to look at Zuo Chi: "Who are you? How do you know all this?"

Zuo Chi looked at the excited Yasuo in front of him, and at the blue border that slowly appeared in front of his eyes, a look of surprise in his eyes.

[The host can choose to help Yasuo make amends! Once the conditions are met, the host can choose one of Yasuo and Yone's various abilities and traits!]

To help Yasuo make up for his regrets, you can choose one of Yasuo's or Yone's abilities?

Zuo Chi shook his head and smiled gently at Yasuo beside him.

"Since we're already here, why don't we go take a look under the spirit tree? Perhaps we can really make up for our regrets."

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Yasuo fell silent.

After a long silence, he slowly nodded: "It is my honor to travel with you."

And so, Zuo Chi and Yasuo once again joined the bustling crowd and walked together toward the Spirit Tree.

Perhaps because the Spirit Blossoms hadn't bloomed for so long, there were just too many people coming to Weili for this Spirit Blossom Festival, and the crowds where Zuo Chi and Yasuo were almost not moving forward.

The two waited and waited until the sun began to set in the west, and they were still a long way from the spirit tree.

It was at this moment that Yasuo, who was looking ahead, did not watch his step and knocked over an old man and his basket.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

The old man slowly got up and put the basket back on his shoulder.

"Souls will not wait for you if you miss your chance, so hurry on your way!"

"No," Yasuo instinctively tried to evade the question, "I'm not."

The old man looked up at Yasuo: "Weren't you here to pay homage to the spirits? Otherwise, what has attracted Lord Yasuo?"

"!!"

Yasuo frowned slightly, looking at the old man before him, but the old man gazed at the crowded people first and spoke:

"Given the current situation, it seems unlikely that it will be your turn today."

"If the two of you truly wish to speak with your loved ones, perhaps my humble sect can give it a try!"

After saying this, the old man picked up his basket and walked forward.

After walking some distance, he calmly said, "It's up to you whether you stay or leave."

Standing still, Zuo Chi looked at Yasuo beside him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"We can give it a try. If we really have to wait here, we might not even get a turn until tomorrow."

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Yasuo hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.

"Let's do as Lord Zuochi says."

After reaching a consensus, Zuo Chi and Yasuo followed behind the old man and walked towards a small path beside the road.

As we strolled through the dense forest, night quietly fell.

Before they knew it, a clear stream appeared in front of them.

In the stream, pink flowers sway gently with the ripples under the moonlight.

Standing beside the stream, the old man gazed at the blooming spirit flower in the water and said softly:

"After many years, the Spirit Blossom has finally bloomed again. If the earth is about to heal, I'm sure you will too."

Chapter 30: The Blooming of the Spirit Flower, Yasuo's Past!

Yasuo squatted down by the stream, dipped his hand into the water and then lifted it up, letting the water flow through his fingers.

Pink petals drifted down with the breeze, carried away by the stream, and reflected in the moonlight, the entire stream shimmered with a soft glow.

"Grandpa, is this the place?"

The old man placed his basket on the ground, looked at the blooming spirit flowers in the stream, and nodded gently.

"Lord Yasuo, please enter the stream."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Yasuo looked at Zuo Chi beside him and saw Zuo Chi shaking his head at him.

"I only came to Ionia to enjoy the Spirit Blossom Festival, and I don't have any loved ones or family members I want to talk to."

As Zuo Chi said this, a faint sense of disappointment rose in his heart.

However, he quickly composed himself and stood quietly on the bank, gazing at the old man and Yaso in the stream.

Seeing that Zuo Chi said this, Yasuo did not insist any further.

He slowly removed his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, then gripped the Gale Blade and stepped into the shimmering stream.

Sitting cross-legged in the stream, Yasuo held his Wind Blade horizontally in front of him, letting the water wash over his body.

Behind him, the old man's words echoed softly, reverberating throughout the entire mountain forest.

"Immersed in the Weili River, the Canglang River washes away the dust."

"Running water soothes the mind."

"The past is revisited!"

As the old man's words echoed in Yasuo's ears, the light emitted by the Spirit Blossom in the stream reached its peak.

And scenes from the past slowly surfaced in Yasuo's mind.

Yasuo was born in a small village in Ionia known for its swordsmanship. His mother was a widow with an only son.

The man who should have been Yasuo's father entered her mother's life like a gentle autumn breeze.

Then, before the harsh winter of Ionia could reach the family, he quietly left again, just like that lonely season, leaving the woman with only one child—Yasuo.

The child the widow was carrying naturally became Yasuo's half-brother.

He is Yone!

From childhood to adulthood, Yone and Yasuo have had completely opposite personalities.

Yasuo is straightforward, impulsive, and has an unyielding obsession with everything.

His older brother, Yongen, was cautious, self-aware, and approachable.

However, the differences in their personalities never affected their relationship; they remained inseparable brothers.

Because of Yasuo's background, he was often teased by other children when he was young, but whenever this happened, Yone would always be there for Yasuo and protect his younger brother at all costs.

As the two grew up, Yone began to study at the village's famous swordsmanship dojo, and Yasuo naturally followed him.

However, how could a sword dojo accept a child who hadn't even grown up yet? So he was rejected.

Everyone originally thought that Yasuo, who had been rejected, would leave soon.

But to everyone's surprise, the young Yasuo knelt outside the dojo for many days without fail, rain or shine.

The masters finally relented and accepted the child, who was not even as tall as the sword.

What surprised everyone even more was that young Yasuo truly displayed unparalleled talent in swordsmanship.

He actually became the only disciple in the entire sword sect to be favored by Elder Su Ma.
