Chapter 5: Yasuo's Arrogant Heart
For Li Ke, Elder Suma was a very respectable elder. It was because of his shelter that he was able to grow up carefree in Ionia.
But Li Ke clearly remembered that Elder Suma did not die of old age, but died tragically at the hands of the power of wind. At that time in Ionia, everyone knew that only Yasuo and Elder Suma could control the power of wind.
So Yasuo, who wanted to join the battle that day, was identified as the murderer, and all the disciples of Elder Suma went out to hunt Yasuo. Yasuo was unable to defend himself, and he was unwilling to die with a stigma, so he had no choice but to kill all his fellow disciples.
Finally, he even killed his brother Yongen.
He was the only one left alive in the entire school of Yufeng swordsmanship.
But since he loved playing Yasuo when he was on Earth, he naturally knew that Yasuo was not the murderer, but Elder Suma himself.
That’s right, it was Elder Suma himself.
This is actually a tragedy. Because Riven was betrayed by the Noxians, she chose to leave Noxus and wanted Elder Suma to interrupt her past and glory - her rune sword, so that she could abandon the past and start her life again.
Then Elder Suma tried to cut the sword in her hand with the Wind Control Sword Technique, but tragedy struck.
The rune sword exploded, and the violent wind element carried the sword fragments and pierced Elder Suma's throat. Distraught, thinking that she had brought disaster to others, Riven fled, and Yasuo became her scapegoat.
In this matter, Riven was wrong and Yasuo was also wrong.
But in the face of that cruel result...
It doesn't matter whose fault it is, because they are all wrong.
“But this future will no longer happen.”
Gripping the sword tightly in his hand, Li Ke secretly decided that he must stop Yasuo from escaping, or protect him when Elder Suma breaks the rune sword.
What he didn't expect was that just when he made this decision, Elder Suma suddenly appeared at the door of his room.
"Li Ke, you look much better."
Elder Su Ma walked slowly into Li Ke's room, looked at Li Ke's rosy cheeks, and was slightly surprised at Li Ke's recovery speed.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder. I have almost recovered."
Li Ke bowed his head slightly. He had always had great respect for this teacher. Su Ma nodded. It was a good thing that Li Ke was in good spirits. He could also get Li Ke to a safe place as soon as possible.
"Well, very good. Tomorrow morning, you will help me deliver a letter to Shangzan. There is a village where a monster has appeared. You and Yongen will go there and kill the monster. Then you will stay there for a while and make sure that the place will not be invaded by monsters again before coming back. By the way, keep this scroll safe."
Elder Su Ma said as he placed a scroll and a letter in front of Li Ke.
Li Ke was stunned. He had just said that he didn't want Elder Su Ma to die in that tragedy, and Elder Su Ma wanted him to leave here. To be honest, this was something that caught him off guard.
“Elder…”
He wanted to say something, but Elder Su Ma waved his hand and told Li Ke not to speak.
"That's all. You should also go to bed early. We still have to travel tomorrow."
After that, Elder Su Ma left Li Ke's room without giving Li Ke any chance, leaving Li Ke confused. He looked at the envelope and scroll on the table with a blank face.
In Ionian society, if you don't want to die, you must obey the orders of your master, unless you have become a master.
Li Ke now had no legitimate reason to refuse this mission, but he was also afraid that Elder Su Ma would die during the time he was on the mission. But after just a little thought, he came up with an idea that would kill two birds with one stone.
spoiler.
"Just say that you have the ability to predict the future. This reason is not considered excessive in Ionia."
Just when he made this decision, a guy who looked like a villain walked into Li Ke's room and looked quite unhappy when he saw Li Ke.
"Teacher actually asked you to go on the mission instead of me. Really... If it were me, I wouldn't need Yongen at all. One person would be enough, and there would be no need to stay there and watch foolishly for any more monsters!"
Yasuo, with an unhappy face, started to taunt. He was very dissatisfied with Elder Suma's unwillingness to participate in the battle. According to him, everyone in their dojo except Li Ke was a master of swordsmanship. Even Li Ke was just a burden because of his physical condition.
Aren't they practicing swordsmanship all day long just to go into battle and kill the enemy?
Elder Su Ma’s worries about them were completely unnecessary!
Why?
Because he is a genius! He can handle all difficulties!
Is there anything in this world that Yasuo can't do?
Li Ke didn't want to pay attention to him. This is what Yasuo would be like if he hadn't been beaten by society. He was just short of yelling that God is the boss and the earth is second only to him, and he is the third.
I've gotten used to it over the years.
But Yasuo didn't think so. He looked at the scroll and envelope on the table, then looked at the medicine bowl next to Li Ke's table, and a smile appeared on his face.
"However, since I can't fight the enemy in battle, it would be nice to fight wild beasts. What do you think? Li Ke, how about letting me do this?"
He had long wanted to go out and explore the world. If Elder Su Ma hadn't forbade him, he felt that he would have been famous all over the world long ago.
So since Elder Su Ma doesn't let him go to the battlefield, then he will use other methods to make a name for himself!
"This is the task the elders gave me, but..."
Li Ke wanted to tactfully express that it was okay to give it to him. In this way, he could stay with Elder Su Ma and ensure that Elder Su Ma could survive the disaster.
After all, at least he would not do other things while guarding Elder Suma, or even run to other places.
Even if this would affect his use and research of dreams to increase his speed of becoming stronger, he knew what to do and what not to do. Compared to temporary strength, he cared more about Elder Suma who had done him a favor.
However, Yasuo didn't think so. Without even waiting for Li Ke to finish his words, he drew his sword and slashed at Li Ke's shoulder.
He was absolutely sure that this strike could cut off a strand of Li Ke's hair without hurting any of Li Ke's skin.
He just wanted to scare Li Ke.
"Just tell me whether you will give in or not!"
The sharp sword energy came towards him, Li Ke's pupils suddenly dilated, his body moved subconsciously, and he drew his sword.
A crisp sound rang out in the room, and the blades of the two swords collided with each other. Yasuo's sword tip pressed against the blade of Li Ke's double-edged sword, blocking his sword tip firmly on Li Ke's flying hair.
"How can this be!"
Yasuo opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Ke in disbelief as he caught his sword steadily. Even though he only wanted to scare Li Ke with this sword, based on Li Ke's past performance, there was no way the opponent would be able to block it!
Li Ke held Yasuo's blade with some difficulty, and couldn't help but get excited. In the past, his strength was no match for Yasuo, let alone blocking it, he couldn't even react, and he didn't have the slightest resistance to Yasuo.
But then he smelled the smell of alcohol coming from Yasuo.
Oops.
Li Ke narrowed his eyes, and invisible energy began to wrap around him, strengthening his body.
"interesting!"
Yasuo drew back his sword with a big laugh. His blood began to flow, and he began to be reckless. After seeing Li Ke on guard, he shouted, held the sword with both hands, and attacked Li Ke again.
"Come on! Let's have a sparring match!"
