"The war is coming."

Shen's hand froze, he stood up and asked, "How did you know?"

The little purple yordle smiled mysteriously, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The sun shone on his shoulders, and he said, "I have some special friends."

Shen tried hard not to roll his eyes - that would be too disrespectful to this violent heart. No matter how you say it, he is a living fossil of the Kinkou Sect. But the young man couldn't calm down after all, and he still muttered: "In the spiritual realm

Things that are based on rumors cannot be considered true..."

Kennan's slow voice came from the side, accompanied by the sound of him drinking tea, which seemed not to care about the war at all: "Sometimes, creatures in the spiritual realm are indeed overly nervous. For example, the big blue man a few days ago

They were frightened half to death when it appeared, saying they saw a cold golden sun staring at them."

The yordle shrugged, put down the tea cup, and poured himself another cup: "Such a clear image usually does not appear in the spiritual realm, but this matter is indeed worthy of study... Well, my tea making skills

It’s getting better and better.”

As he spoke, he forgot what he had said before, but Shen did not. Human beings lack the eternal innocence of Yodel people - even Kennan is not exempt from this. The eternal life span brings never

Changing mentality.

Shen asked: "What is the war you are talking about?"

"Noxian, I thought you should know about this, Eye of Twilight. Can't you see those strangers walking around in the streets with weapons on their belts?"

"So, how should sects respond?"

Shen automatically filtered out Kenan's sarcasm. After these days of getting along, he had already learned to ignore it. When he mentioned this, Kenan's expression became serious, not as leisurely as before.

He said: "It depends on you, Eye of Twilight. The 'eye' decides the direction, and the 'fist' takes action. As for my useless 'heart'... I can only help young people like you."

People have taken care of it."

Mentioning this, Shen had a headache: "But 'Fist' is not within the sect now..."

"She has her own ideas, and her fists are always outside of us, which is actually a good thing." Kennan said meaningfully. He lightly knocked on the table, and a small tree emerged from the soil behind him.

It grew out, and in just a few seconds it grew into a tree big enough for him to lean on and enjoy the shade.

"Where should I find her?" Shen asked.

"This is your problem, young Twilight Eyes." Kanan yawned. He stepped back and leaned against the tree trunk. He pulled down his hood to cover his eyes. Shen helplessly said

He shook his head.

But, it doesn't matter.

I'll find it myself.

His eyes lit up with purple light again. This mysterious and mysterious ability was inherited from the Twilight Eyes of the past generations. After their death, their own 'qi' will not disappear, but will remain in the spiritual realm. They just wait.

The next person who truly understands the way of balance appears.

However, although Shen has almost fully mastered the ability of the Eye of Twilight, he still dare not say that he has fully mastered the way of balance - in his eyes, there are too many things about balance...it seems unbalanced.

The world changed before his eyes. The original real plants and trees were obscured by monotonous lines and faint blue. Some strange creatures were moving around in this quiet courtyard. When they saw Shen Hou, they all hid.

He woke up. Shen's spirit body began to roam in the spiritual realm.

This is a very unique experience, so unique that one would willingly get lost in it. However, Shen came with a goal.

He aroused the Qi in his body, and the ancient and vibrant energy slowly condensed in his palms. A towering tree that came from nowhere appeared in front of him as if the fog had been lifted.

Shen put his palms against the old bark, closed his eyes, and saw the scene on the other side of Ionia thousands of miles away.

It was a small town, quiet and ancient. Just like other small towns in Ionia, nothing special. Shen continued to communicate deeply with the tree, and the strong and gentle will responded to his request. He saw more

many.

Shadow Fist...Meimei.

She is working in the fields.

The power of time has not yet appeared on her body, and she still looks as beautiful as Shen remembers. Bai Jiu's arm, which used to be a murder weapon, is now holding a hoe. Shen Bujing is a little confused: the fist of shadow... is plowing the land.

?

He opened his eyes and exited the spiritual realm, not forgetting to say goodbye to the tree. The other party reluctantly asked him to bring more energy next time. Shen smiled helplessly, and then returned to the real world.

As expected, Kenan had fallen asleep - but Shen knew very well that he was not really asleep.

"I found her trace."

Sure enough, Kenan immediately raised his hood and opened his eyes: "Where is it?"

"Perol."

Kenan frowned deeply: "Why did she run away?"

Pelor is located in the westernmost part of Ionia. It is an island. The people living there are the old-school of the old-school. Most people have never left the island in their lives. It can be basically regarded as isolated from the world. Even

The Ionians thought they were too old-fashioned.

"Another discovery is that she is plowing the fields and her movements are very skillful." Shen said.

Kenan glanced at him, blinked, and bent his small body forward. He obviously wanted to look intimidating, but because of his height, he looked a little cute, and he was completely unaware of it: "

Are you kidding me?"

Shen spread his hands: "Do you think I'm joking?"

He tried hard to suppress his urge to laugh out loud to avoid being shocked again, and because of this, his voice was a little trembling. Kenan glanced at him suspiciously, and then stood up. He stretched out his hand

The hairs on his own claws stood up, and traces of purple electricity flashed through them.

But in an instant, Kennan disappeared. Only his words remained in the courtyard: "...I will take the first step."

Shen shook his head, and raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand together in front of his chest. Purple energy gathered at his feet, and after a while, he also disappeared.

----------------------------------------

"Meime! You're back!"

A childish voice sounded, and Mei Mu quickly lowered her head to avoid the attack from behind. A girl with a single ponytail jumped into the air and fell to the ground. But she didn't care about it, and soon

He got up again and looked at Mei Mu with a smile.

"How was your day, Akali?"

Mei Mu asked as he closed the door and put down the hoe.

"Very good, I killed a wild boar behind the mountain. I even told the village chief, but he didn't believe me." At this point, Akali seemed a little aggrieved: "Why didn't he believe me?"

Mei Mu smiled tenderly. If Kenan were here, he would probably scream and scream - such a look would never appear on Mei Mu.

She picked up Akali and said softly: "Because you are still a child, Akali. How could they believe that a child can hunt a wild boar?"

"But I really got it!"

"Oh? How did you hunt?"

"I use the hook and sickle you taught me, but it's not very useful..."

Mei Mu smiled and scratched her daughter's nose, and she simply sat on the stone bench in the yard: "The hook and sickle is used to kill people, Akali. Of course it will be inconvenient for you to use it to hunt wild boars."

"But I don't want to kill anyone, Mom."

Akali rarely called her mother, which made Meimu a little stunned. But she hid it very well. Her years of career in the Shadow Fist had already made her accustomed to hiding her true emotions.

She said: "I don't want to either, Akali. But sometimes, we have to do it..."

"But I don't want to! Why kill people? Everyone is a good person, who would want to kill them?"

Mei Mu's throat was a little dry. The innocence of children is something that adults can never have again. Because of this, when they show it, the adults can't bear it.

"...We'll talk about this later, okay? Now go into the house and I'll cook for you. Did you bring flowers to dad today?"

She stood up, put down her daughter in her arms, opened the door to the back room and walked in.

"Bring it!" Akali said loudly: "I brought him flowers I found in the back mountains. There are red, yellow and purple flowers. But I didn't see white ones, which is strange."

The child's mood came and went quickly. She quickly ran to her room and played with the puppets Mei Mu made for her. Mei Mu walked to the kitchen, lit firewood and started cooking.

.

Tano, Akali is already eight summers old, have you seen it?

She said in her mind while washing rice absently.

I don't want our daughter to inherit my career, it would be too cruel for her. Endless killing and death... She deserves a better future.

She put a peeled potato on the chopping board, and when she was about to cut the vegetables, a familiar voice sounded from the door: "You actually learned how to cook, Mei Mu. What a miracle, tsk tsk tsk."

She sighed inaudibly, and when she turned her head again, the expression on her face had changed to the neatness unique to Shadow Fist: "Tell me, what is the mission."

The short yordle crossed the threshold of her kitchen and wandered around the kitchen with interest, his hands behind his back. His eyes glanced at the sausages and bacon hanging from the beams, as well as smoked fish and corn.

, and looked at the rice vat in the corner. He made a clicking sound.

When Mei Mu's eyes became more and more evil, he spoke: "The mission is not assigned by me, Mei Mu. You should know this, the mission is always assigned by the Eye of Twilight."

"Kushi is no longer worthy of having my hook stained with blood. He has gone too far astray." Mei Mu refused, and she said resolutely: "As long as he is still the Eye of Twilight, I will not return to the sect.

.”

At this moment, purple light lit up from the soles of Kenan's feet, and Mei Mu picked up the kitchen knife without hesitation. She knew what it was: the secret skill of the Twilight Eyes passed down from generation to generation, the secret meaning of mercy, which can save the soul.

Long-distance teleportation. As the Eyes of Twilight improve in strength, they can even let their bodies follow their wishes and go anywhere in an instant.

But as the purple light extinguished, the person who appeared was not Ku Dao, but a strange and familiar young man. He had black hair and a mask on his face, only revealing two bright eyes.

He carefully took a step back with his kitchen knife in his eyes, and then bowed very seriously.

"Sorry to disturb you... I wonder if you still remember me? I am Shen, the son of Master Kushuo."

Mei Mu recalled a little boy in her mind, and that image gradually overlapped with the young man in front of him who bowed as soon as he came. Mei Mu put down the kitchen knife and spoke in a more relaxed tone: "What? Ku said you want to abdicate? You

Is this the new Eye of Twilight now?”

Shen nodded: "I am indeed the new Eye of Twilight, but it is not because my father gave up the throne. He has been dead for a long time."

"died?!"

Mei Mu looked extremely shocked, and Shen continued: "Yes, he went too far astray, and his deviation from the path of balance was almost irreversible. Fortunately, a strange traveler took action, otherwise my father's

The glory may be destroyed by his own hands."

"traveller?"

"We can talk about his affairs later, Meimu." Kenan interrupted, patting the dust on his body caused by Shen's unskilled mercy to save his soul, and said: "The most urgent priority now is your return.

"

Meimu looked at Kenan, then at Shen, and pointed to the door. Shen sighed. Just as he was about to apologize for his intrusion with Kenan and then leave, he heard Meimu say: "

Go and wait outside, don't scare my daughter, especially you, Kenan."

The Yodel shook his ears innocently: "What are you talking about, Meimu, how could I scare children?"

Mei Mu's faint voice came from behind them, accompanied by the sound of kitchen knives and chopping boards colliding with each other: "I remember you hate spicy food, right?"

"..."

----------------------------------------

Kennen did not bully Akali, to be precise, he was the one bullied by Akali.

The little girl lay on top of him with a smile, rubbing his soft and furry face with both hands. At the same time, she also tugged on the ears, while the yordle sat on the chair with a look of helplessness, letting her

Give.

He had already made several "come and help me" looks to Shen who was sitting nearby, but the latter sat upright, looking at his nose and heart, like an old monk in meditation.

Meimu brought two plates, one was beef brisket stewed with potatoes, and the other was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They were both common home-cooked dishes in Ionia, but there were only two bowls filled with rice in her arms.

, and two pairs of chopsticks.

Seeing this, Kenan's eyes widened and he asked, "Where's ours?"

"You don't have a share - oh, Shen can go get a bowl of rice by himself, but you can't."

Kennan said aggrievedly: "Why did I offend you?"

"You didn't mess with me - Akali, get off him! This guy doesn't like taking a bath. He's covered in bugs you can't see. Be careful when you sleep at night and get bitten all over by those bugs!" Mei Mu put down the food and said,

He grabbed Akali from Kenan's body and put it aside.

The angry voice of the Yodel spread throughout the yard: "I take a bath every day! You are the only one with bugs! And you, Shen, where are you going?!"

Shen, who had left his seat lightly, froze when he heard what he said. He continued walking to the kitchen as if nothing had happened and answered: "I'm going to serve the food, Master Kainan."

"Give me a bowl too!"

Meimu didn't even need to speak, she just coughed, and Shen knew what to do.

After a while.

Kenan crossed his hands. He looked at the three of them eating the dishes that smelled and looked delicious with chopsticks. He couldn't help but said, "Can't I just take one bite? Just one bite?"

"Not even half a mouthful."

"Why are you so heartless?"

"You know it yourself."

The Yodel let out a frustrated cry, and then disappeared in the lightning. Seeing this, Shen speeded up his pick-up of food with satisfaction - who said Meimu couldn't cook? No one seemed to say so.

It didn't take long for Akali to put down her bowl and chopsticks. She ate cleanly, and the little girl was also very good at eating and very polite. After she finished eating, she looked at her mother and asked:

"Should I leave?"

Shen looked at her in surprise. For her age, this child knew a lot.

Mei Mu nodded: "Go and wash your own dishes, Akali, and then you can go out and play. Remember to come back before dark, otherwise you won't be able to go out tomorrow."

"Okay, mother!" Akali, who received permission, ran faster than anyone else and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen swallowed the food in his mouth, coughed, put down his chopsticks and bowl, and said solemnly: "Master Mei Mu, I came here this time to inform you of something important."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Noxus is about to invade."

"Whose news?"

"Master Kainan."

Mei Mu snorted coldly and said: "Then, this news is true. Although that rat talks a lot and likes to make lies, at least it can be trusted as a source of information."

Shen nodded: "I think so too. Please come out."

"The question is, what do you want me to do out of the mountains, Shen?"

Mei Mu also put down her bowls and chopsticks, crossed her arms, and asked.

"Stop the coming atrocities of the Noxians." Shen answered without hesitation.

"Interesting, you are much more interesting than your father." Mei Mu curled up her lips and said with a smile. In the next second, this short smile turned into a gloomy expression: "It's just another killing... Okay

Okay, how many to kill, where and when."

"this......"

Shen was stunned. The manuscript he had originally written seemed completely useless at this moment. Mei Mu agreed so easily, which surprised him. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and said: "...We don't know this yet.

a little."

Mei Ming stared at him dimly, and Shen had never felt so embarrassed in his life until now. He turned his head slightly to avoid Mei Ming's sharp eyes, and then said.

"Did you agree?"
