Earth time in early July 2015, Ionia. Navoli province, village of Cuili.

It was another magnificent morning, and for the land of Ionia, it seemed that every morning was magnificent.

Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha are in the dense forest where Irelia practices dancing on weekdays, and there is a white napkin cloth in the middle of the couple, and a set of tea sets are placed on it.

The couple each had a teacup in their hands, so they quietly bathed in the morning sun and drank the tea in their hands silently.

On the other side of the clearing, Irelia was still dressed in a pink gauze dress, moving her legs to the deep footprints on the ground.

This was what Xiao Yuebai had used a little strength to step on the ground before, for Irelia to practice Ling Bo microstep.

At this moment, Irelia seems to have turned into a blade dancer again, but unlike the previous style full of evil spirits, the current blade dancer seems to be more like a fairy dancer.

The pink afterimages shuttled through the dense footprints like a peach blossom rain.

After a while, Irelia didn't know how many times she had traveled through the clearing, but her figure suddenly stopped, and she first stood there and closed her eyes for a while, as if she was reminiscing about her performance.

When the girl opened her eyes, a satisfied expression jumped on her face, and Irelia came to Xiao Yuebai with brisk steps and bowed down and said:

"Teacher, did you see my practice? What do you think? ”

Xiao Yuebai put down the white porcelain cup in his hand when he heard this, smiled slightly, looked up at Irelia who was full of admiration and respect for him, and said:

"Ellie, your talent is even better than I thought. Now you've mastered this set of footwork. What do you think? How much of the knowledge you told you earlier have you mastered these days? ”

Irelia looked up and thought about it, as if she was reliving what she had learned in the past few days, before she bowed down again and said:

"Teacher, I have finished reading the books "Xinhua Dictionary" and "I Ching" that you gave me, and I almost understand the syntactic and semantics of ancient Chinese."

"Good!" After Xiao Yuebai finished speaking, he made a move casually, and a book appeared directly in his hand, with the name of the book written on it, which was Xiao Yuebai's "Easy Wind Trick".

Seeing this, Irelia took the books in the teacher's hands with a solemn expression, and as soon as she took over, she heard Xiao Yuebai continue: "Ellie, the books I gave you before are all masterpieces of the sages of my motherland. ”

"In addition to talking about internal strength and martial arts, there are also many aspects of knowledge such as how to behave in the world, governing the country and so on, you have to study hard!"

"If I can, I will even take you to Earth in the future to learn the knowledge of our earthlings."

Irelia is not a fool, since she apprenticed that day, her new master has basically given herself a book every few days.

"The Analects", "The New Language of the World", "Capital", "Tao Te Ching", "Military and Political Relations", and including the "Book of Changes" that I am reading now, not to mention reading these books, it would be good to be able to read them this year.

As for the purpose of her teacher, she has now understood, so after taking over the "Easy Wind Trick", Irelia asked with some trepidation:

"Teacher, did you give me so many books to train me to be the ruler of Ionia?"

Irelia was able to guess her intentions, Xiao Yuebai was not surprised at all, if he couldn't guess, it would mean that she didn't think about things as far as she thought she would.

And thinking about everything from a long-term perspective is what a good leader should be.

Seeing the apprentice ask himself, Xiao Yuebai looked at Irelia with a smile and said, "What's wrong?" Still not willing? ”

"Teacher!" Irelia called Xiao Yuebai a little timidly, and then thought carefully for a while before saying, "Actually, when I was in the war, I never thought of becoming someone else's leader. ”

"At that time, I was just doing what I wanted to do, but I don't know why, I fought and they would follow. Over time, they called me the leader! ”

"But in my heart, what I want to do most is to restore the country to its original state. We can live quietly, and I can dance to the audience when I want to. ”

"As for being the leader to lead a country, to lead people who are willing to fight for me, I really don't want to do that."

Xiao Yuebai stared at Irelia carefully for a while, and even the queen on the side couldn't help frowning when she saw such a situation, so she heard the queen open her mouth and say to her husband's disciple in her elegant and graceful voice:

"But you know, Ellie! The cruel memories of the past will not fade with time, and you are your fellow man who led you after all. ”

"You can't deny the fact that this has happened, so... Even if you want to escape, but the fact is the fact, even if you are running away from this fact, it has been deeply imprinted in your soul. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that you don't have the courage to face it, but sometimes fate is like this, when you choose it, it also chooses you, and all you have to do is face the choice you don't want to make."

Irelia's figure at this moment seemed a little stubborn, and Xiao Yuebai also found the entanglement in his apprentice's heart, and raised his hand to signal her to sit down.

When Irelia knelt in front of her, Xiao Yuebai spoke again:

"Ellie, Ionia has been immersed in the traditions of the past for countless ages. Not to mention that compared to the 14 billion-year-old universe, even the civilization of the Runeterras has changed one after another. ”

"If the Ionians are to continue to reproduce, then she must change. I know that you Ionians yearn for peace, but you must know that the forces of peace and development do not conflict. ”

"Only the Ionians have great strength to guarantee this hard-won peace. You have spent four years in a precarious environment, and no one understands better than you that it is not easy. ”

"So, that's why I chose you, Ellie, and face your responsibilities, okay?"

Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha's persuasion made Irelia lower her head, and the girl's heart was extremely entangled at this moment.

Now she can't completely abandon her original intention and be a dancer wholeheartedly. But what the master and the master said just now are also the most direct and irrefutable truths.

For a moment, Irelia couldn't make a choice, and after weighing it for a long time, the girl's kneeling posture suddenly bent down her slender waist, and then said in a somewhat weeping voice:

"Master, master. Ellie really doesn't know how to choose now, can you please give me a little time? I promise that I will not delay my studies during this time. ”

"Whatever the two teachers asked me to learn, I will definitely do my best to learn as much as I can! Please rest assured! ”

Seeing Irelia lying on the ground, Xiao Yuebai couldn't bear to look at Keisha, and then sighed a little helplessly and said:

"Alright, Ellie. That's all for today, don't do anything today, and if you want to dance, feel free. ”

"As for what you want to do in the end, let me know when you've thought about it. Your master and me and your wife don't have much to do, but they have a lot of time, and they can afford to wait! ”

"Thank you, master! Then I'll go back first! After Irelia finished speaking, she stood up and saluted Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha again, and then left here with a pair of eyes that shouted mist.

Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, and from time to time raised his arm to wipe the tears that he had just endured on his eyes, Xiao Yuebai sighed and said to his wife beside him:

"Honey, are we in too much of a hurry?"
