The evening breeze is clear, blowing through the silent bamboo forest, the hazy moonlight is reflected in the middle of the lake, and the sparse stars are twinkling.

Ahri's soft eyes were slightly elongated, and he glanced at Ye Feng, who was sleeping beside him, and showed a helpless and wanted to laugh.

said that he wanted to accompany her to see the night view of Nanshan, and while walking, Ye Feng said heartlessly that he wanted to lie down, and he fell asleep directly when he lay down.

Some small voices suddenly sounded in her ears, and Ahri was full of excitement, and the gentle and soft affection in her eyes gradually solidified.

Her complexion turned completely cold, and her eyes passed through the bamboo forest behind her, and her whole body was in a state of high tension.

His face was cloudy, and Ahri glanced at the sleeping Ye Feng a few more times, and immediately turned into a snow-white little fox and scurried into the bamboo forest smartly.

A few dodges, she appeared outside a gazebo.

"Akali and Zai, why did these two show up here so late?"

Looking at the two people who should have been hostile in the pavilion, Ahri frowned slightly, and the vigilance in his heart deepened.

Hiding her aura completely, Ahri slowly approached the two of them, and only stopped when she felt she could hear their conversation.

In the pavilion, Akali, whose lower face was covered by a green ninja mask, folded her hands around her chest and snorted coldly: "Don't call me senior sister, let's talk about the purpose of you calling me out!"

Smelling Akali's suppressed resentful voice, he said bitterly, "Senior sister, you seem to hate me?"

"Hate?"

As soon as she heard the words, Akali's voice instantly rose to a higher pitch. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she wished to execute this traitor who had killed her fellow disciples on the spot.

"You, a shameless person who killed his teacher and father and killed his fellow disciples, are you embarrassed to ask me if I hate you? If I don't hate you, I don't deserve to be a ninja of the Equilibrium Sect anymore! ”

Akali's angry response was bleeding from his heart, and he lowered his head and said in disappointment, "Is that so?" Even Senior Sister, you won't understand me......"

Akali's frustrated tone made Akali even more furious, as if he were the victim. She was so angry that the twin peaks on her chest rose and fell, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "If you have nothing else to do, then I will go back, I am afraid that if I stay with you any longer, I will be unable to help but disregard the feelings of my former comrades, and execute you on the spot!"

Seeing that Akali turned around and was about to leave, Zai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and said nervously, "Senior sister, wait!"

The right arm was grabbed by the robbery and it hurt a little, Akali turned her head irritably, stared at the robbery with straight eyes, and said coldly: "Let go!"

Zai pleaded in a low voice, "Senior sister, can you listen to me?"

His pleading tone reminded Akali of the former junior brother who only revealed his weakness in front of her, and there was a slight nostalgia and discomfort in her heart.

Soft-hearted, she sighed lightly: "Quit, just say anything directly, tonight, I am still your senior sister."

"I knew that senior sister, you could understand me best!"

He slowly took off his helmet, revealing his old face, which had not been shown in front of anyone.

The short gray hair and the red eyes that had long been terrifying because of the mystery of the shadow made Akali feel distressed for a while. She still remembers the robbery a few years ago, with short black hair, although she is not good at words, but she looks very capable and handsome.

At that time, he was a taciturn teenager who secretly competed with his senior brother in force, but it always ended in a draw.

As a very responsible senior sister, Akali is most worried about this junior brother who does not like to be close to people.

Fortunately, he allowed her to approach, so that she could give him medicine and rub it when he was injured as much as possible, and do everything a senior sister should do.

In fact, since she was a child, Akali has been paying attention to this little junior brother who has always wanted to win against Senior Brother Shen.

From childhood to adolescence, she has always tried to open his reluctant heart, so that he can get along better with his brothers and sisters.

It's a pity that it backfired, and the mind of the ring was very stubborn, becoming more and more withdrawn, and I just wanted to be close to her.

It wasn't until the Ring Touching the Forbidden Art of the Equilibrium Sect was expelled from the sect that Akali began to reflect on whether it was the wrong way she guided the Ring that would allow the Ring to come into contact with the shadowy ninjutsu.

Feeling that she was not a qualified senior sister, Akali found her master, hoping to find answers from him.

This unintentional move made her realize that her master and her were just as sad about being expelled from the master, and her master also said that he was angry and impulsive at that time, and that he should not have expelled the ring from the master, but should have guided him to come back again.

When Ring returns with a group of ninjas dressed in dark ninja suits, Akali doesn't notice Ring's anomaly. As a senior sister, she told the master the news as soon as possible.

Who knew that later he robbed the forbidden art box of the Balance Sect, and killed the master who raised him with his own hands. From then on, Akali had no hope for this junior brother in her heart, only endless hatred and self-blame.

She hated the precept of killing the teacher, and also blamed herself for not fulfilling the responsibilities of a senior sister and letting the precept go astray.

Memories of the past disturbed Akali's mind. She looked at the catastrophe in front of her with a complicated complexion, and said softly: "If you turn back now, maybe I can persuade Senior Brother Shen, after all, you are brothers in the same sect, and if you kill each other like this, Master will not turn a blind eye underground."

It's prudence again! As soon as he heard this name, a nameless jealousy came out of the bottom of his heart. He suppressed his emotions and said, "Senior sister, since I was a child, only you are willing to care about me, in fact, I have always had something I want to say to you, but I don't know how to speak."

Akali's eyes flashed with the warmth of her sister looking at her brother, and she said softly, "If you have anything, just tell your senior sister."

Zai took a few deep breaths and organized the language for a long time before he made up his mind: "Senior sister, in fact, I ...... I...... I've always loved you! ”

Hearing this, Akali was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "It's normal for senior brother to like senior sister, and we are already a family in the same balanced sect."

Zai excitedly grabbed Akali's arms and corrected: "Senior sister, I like you, it's the love of men and women, not the family!"

Akali didn't expect that the love she said was the love between men and women, and her heart jumped.

Looking at the excited appearance, Akali said in a panic: "Ring, you calm down first, you scratched me up!"

When he heard this, he immediately let go of his hand. But he still looked directly at Akali and asked affectionately, "Senior sister, do you like me?"

With a slight twitch in her eyes, Akali said guiltily: "Ring, I'm sorry, senior sister, I have always just regarded you as my junior brother."

He didn't expect Akali to say she didn't like him. He had been alone, only to feel that the last embankment in his heart had also collapsed, and he grabbed Akali's arm again and asked, "How is it possible, senior sister, if you don't like me, why do you keep sending me medicine and rubbing medicine when I am injured?"

Seeing that Akali was a little frightened in her current state, she forced herself to calm down, swallowed her saliva, and explained: "Jie, in fact, I have always taken care of other senior brothers, not just you, senior sister, I regard the Balance Sect as my home, treat you as my brothers and sisters, and treat Master as my father, and it is my duty to take care of you and make you feel warm."

His heart gradually began to distort, and the dark side was gradually magnified by him. He was completely immersed in his own world, his hands tightly grasped Akali's arms, and he gasped, "I don't believe it, I've never seen you get close to anyone else, Senior Sister!"

His expression and tone of voice really made Akali feel terrified, and she frowned and tried to break free of his hands, but she couldn't.

Suffering from the pain, she had no choice but to give up and said directly: "Jie, you have been acting alone and independently, refusing to contact other senior brothers in the Balanced Sect, of course, you don't know that I am also taking care of other senior brothers who need my help."

Although he wanted to say that it was fake, Akali said so, and it was probably true. If she liked him, she wouldn't explain so much to him.

There was a slight coolness in his heart, and he was a little calmer than just now. As soon as his hand loosened, he took a few steps back and sat down on the stone bench in the gazebo.

Akali looked at him with pity, and she was a little upset that she would refuse him like this. But what she likes is Shen, if she doesn't refuse to rob, it will probably attract more entanglement.

But on second thought, Zheng Zheng's psychological defense should be very weak now, and she might be able to try to convince him to give up the mystery of shadow.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Akali's heart. She sat down beside Zai, clasped Zai's right hand in the palm of her hand with both hands, and said with concern: "Senior Brother Jie, in fact, the Balanced Sect is not as indifferent as you think, it's just that your temperament is too withdrawn, and you didn't notice that everyone actually cares about you."

"Senior sister?" Feeling the warm touch of Akali's hands, Zai raised his head and stared at the gentle Akali in a daze.

"Master, his old man has actually been paying attention to you all the time, every time you fight with Senior Brother Shen, he praises you to me, but in order to make you and Shen not too proud, let me not tell you, and there are actually many senior brothers in the sect who worship you very much and want to contact you, but you are always silent and dare not approach you."

"Do you remember how many times you refused to talk to you? You are always immersed in your identity as an orphan, but you forget that your fellow brothers are orphans, most of them are orphans like you, they can understand your feelings, and so can I, senior sister. ”

Looking at the catastrophe that lowered her head and fell into silence, Akali continued: "You have low self-esteem, you want to prove that you can live better than those guys outside who mock you for being an orphan even without parents through the improvement of ninjutsu; You want to defeat Senior Brother Shen, and you want Master to praise you and identify with you; If you want to balance the sect's senior brothers and sisters, we have all had these emotions of yours, and we all understand your desires. ”

"We are all under the leadership of the master, and you are always autistic and addicted, think about it yourself, how can you make the senior brothers dare to approach you? You are too inferior, and when you were a rebellious teenager, you always felt that the whole world owed you, and now that you are an adult, you should grow up, I don't think I need to say these things, I should understand them. ”

"Go back, admit your mistake to the senior brother of the Equilibrium Sect, and spend the rest of your life to repent of the sins you committed against the master and your fellow disciples, and the senior sister will intercede with the elders of Ionia on your behalf!"

Speaking of the back, Akali burst into tears and began to sob.

Looking at Akali's pretty face crying with pear blossoms and rain, she didn't have the slightest intention of repentance. The face that revealed evil spirit showed a stubborn expression, his face gradually distorted, and he said sharply: "I won't turn back, senior sister, you see okay, tomorrow I must kill Shen with my own hands, I know you like him, as long as you kill him, the deceased master and you will agree with me!"

Hearing the distorted remarks that he wanted to kill Shen, Akali rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and said in fright: "Jie, you can't do this, Master and I have always agreed with you, don't be obsessed with it anymore!"

Reining in the chaotic emotions in his heart, he glanced at Akali coldly, and slowly put on his metal helmet.

Without waiting for Akali to stop him, the figure of the robbery quietly melted into his shadow and disappeared in place.
