Chapter 21: Lingering
"Forget it, nothing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Akali shook her head, refusing to answer the question.
"That's going to be difficult, I'm going to be bothered." He sighed as if he was disappointed, but Akali was sure he was pretending.
"If you really don't have anything, don't bother me anymore, because I'm bothered." She glanced at Tribulation and pouted.
"You see, I came here to share your troubles, but you refused and wanted to drive me away." He threw his head aside. He pulled out a shuriken from his waist and spun it as if to relieve his boredom.
"You're so annoying." She sighed and looked at Zai with a defeated face and said, "Do you see a guy coming up in the Hall of Equilibrium today?"
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened as he looked at Akali and shook his head, "Yes?"
She turned her head to the side. He asked in a low voice, "Did you secretly leave the Hall of Equilibrium again?"
"Is there one?" He still maintained a look of ignorance, which made Akali who was looking at him again a little crazy.
"I hope you won't be found out by your mentor, or he'll be angry. Don't worry that what I'm saying will be wrong, because I can guarantee that the guru will definitely be angry. Akali glanced at him and laughed playfully.
"Well, I think the mentor will be angry if he knows, and he won't know. But now that's not the point we've been talking about, it's the point right now -- that guy. He pulled out one of his two hands and waved it at Akali and said.
"Oh, that guy. He made me feel familiar. As soon as she was reminded of the robbery, she stopped sarcastically mocking him. Then he began to remember the strangely dressed man above the main hall. It's very familiar, and it makes her so uncomfortable that her heart is squeezed and she can't breathe.
"Familiar?" He asked.
"It's like that terrible day, so dark that people want to put down their forbearance and kneel and cry and pray for mercy from God. It's really horrible, he smells exactly like he did that day, I can assure you. Akali wiped her face with her hand, her eyes a little dazed. It's reminiscing about something terrible.
"People always want to forget those sad days, but they can't. They linger like shadows left by the sun, and once you hide behind an obscure, they are still infinitely magnified. He didn't know how to comfort Akali. After all, that kind of thing is really terrible.
ββ¦β¦ That person may have the truth in him. She patted her cheek and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The truth? There is no truth to that matter. It was nothing more than an accident. The robber tilted his head slightly and said to Akali.
"Nothing is absolute. I would like to know more unexpected facts, or more unexpected discoveries that can contribute more to equilibrium? "What Akali said was a complete excuse. But Zai wasn't ready to expose her.
Because the strong girl in front of him was really pitiful in his eyes, even if she and the other ninjas in Akali didn't feel that way, including the mentor.
They thought her mother's death was the equalization factor. No one came to save her, and she herself did not pray for a helping hand in her life.
The young Akali recognized her mother's choice with her mother's comrades-in-arms, and inherited the title of Shadow Fist.
A childish Shadow Fist. However, no matter how much she affirmed the meaning of equilibrium and the practice of maintaining equilibrium on the surface, in her heart she always regarded those days as a lingering nightmare.
Even she didn't deny what she had just saidβit lingered like a shadow in her heart.
"Or maybe your words are wrong in some way, but there is no conflict between you and me. I won't encourage you to do anything you want, but I won't stand in your way. The words were much clearer than before, and she looked straight and wanted to put Akali at ease.
"I hope it's like you say, but you have to understand. Everything Akali does is for the balance between all things. She smiled at her. Although she is smiling, compared to her previous sad face, she looks very sweet now.
"Actually, you can also understand that creating equilibrium is not just passive." He looked at the girl's smile and said.
Akali listened to the words, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and she turned her head into a moment of deep thought.
"By the way, what do you mean?" After a short pause, she burst into silence and burst into her musings.
"Oh, his name is Light String, I've heard of him. A disciple who broke away from the Wind Dojo and a man who controls the Wind Resisting Sword Technique. But I thought it was funny, both the smell and the way he was dressed. Akali looked away, thinking about the scene in the main hall at that time. She wondered, how could she seem to forget Ben when she got out of the Wind Dojo? He wore the clothes of the Valoran continent and cut his original long hair (I heard that Qingxian originally had hair longer than herself) so short.
It's not that she has some prejudice against Light Strings, but she can't help but think of it because of the Daqing Mountains adjacent to the three provinces where Noxus colonized Ionia.
Bewitched by the Noxians? = Defection (detachment) from the sect?
Rain, Light String ......
This name instantly popped up in Zai's heart, and his mouth also subconsciously said it.
"It seems that the last time you and Shen hunted down Ember, it was this person named Shiyu Light String who caught Ember, right?" She asked.
ββ¦β¦ Well, met. He nodded.
"Short hair? Valoran-style dress-up? Red with pupils? Akali asked.
"Wait...... The man whom your mouth describes...... Is it the rain and light strings? He waved his hand to signal Akali to stop, and asked hesitantly.
"This is what he himself admitted in front of his guru, isn't it...... Any questions? Akali asked with a wink of confusion.
He didn't answer her question, and said bluntly, "What's the point?"
Akali was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Demon energy, evil demon energy."
He nodded his head and said, "Do you want to go back?" Right now. β
"Forget it, I think I still need to be quiet." She shook her head and declined the invitation.
Nodding, Zai stood up and withdrew his shuriken and walked out of the bamboo forest. When he approached the exit, he glanced back, but the green figure had merged with the bamboo forest and could not see anything.
"Uh...... Is it balanced? It's all about balance. Akali, your excuses are as pitiful as your past...... Child. β
