Runeland: I really know a little bit about everything

Page 24

And in the stream, pink flowers are swaying gently with the waves under the moonlight.

Standing beside the stream, the old man gazed at the blooming spiritual flowers in the stream and said softly:

“After many years, the spirit flower has finally bloomed again. If the earth is about to heal, I believe you will be the same.”

Chapter 30: The spiritual flower blooms, Yasuo’s past!

Yasuo squatted down beside the stream, put his hand into the stream and then raised it up, letting the water flow through his fingers.

Pink petals slid down with the breeze and were carried away by the stream. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the whole stream was glowing.

“Old man, is this the place?”

The old man put the backpack on the ground, looked at the blooming flowers in the stream, and nodded slightly.

“Sir Yasuo, please enter the stream.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Yasuo looked at Zuo Chi beside him, and happened to see Zuo Chi shaking his head at him.

“I just came to Ionia to enjoy the grandeur of the Soul Blossom Festival. I don’t have any loved ones or relatives I want to talk to.”

When Zuo Chi said this again, he couldn’t help but feel a little lost in his heart.

But soon, he put away his emotions, stood quietly on the shore, staring at the old man in front of him and Yasuo in the stream.

Seeing Zuo Chi say this, Yasuo didn’t force it anymore.

He slowly took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, then holding the Wind Blade in his hand, he walked into the dimly lit stream.

Sitting cross-legged in the stream, Yasuo held the Wind Blade across his body and let the stream water wash over his body.

Behind him, the old man’s words echoed slowly, reverberating throughout the entire forest.

“Dip into the Waili River, and let the waves wash away the dust.”

“Running water purifies the mind.”

“The past is back!”

As the old man’s words rang in Yasuo’s ears, the light emitted by the blooming spiritual flowers in the stream reached its peak at this moment.

And scenes from the past slowly emerged in Yasuo’s mind.

Yasuo was born in a small village in Ionia famous for its swordsmanship. His mother was a widow with an only son.

And the man who was supposed to be Yasuo’s father blew into her mother’s life like an autumn breeze.

Then, without waiting for the cold winter of Ionia to come to the family, he left quietly like that lonely season, leaving only a child for the woman – Yasuo.

The child that the widow was carrying naturally became Yasuo’s half-brother.

He is Yongen!

Growing up, Yongen and Yasuo have had completely opposite personalities.

Yasuo is straightforward, impulsive, and has an obsession with everything that never subsides.

His elder brother Yongen is cautious, self-aware and friendly.

However, the difference in their personalities never affected their relationship, and they have always been close brothers.

Because of Yasuo’s background, there were always children teasing him when he was a child, but every time this happened, Yongen would appear by Yasuo’s side at the first time and protect his younger brother at all costs.

As the two grew up, Yongen began to study at the famous swordsmanship dojo in the village, and Yasuo naturally followed him.

However, how could a kendo dojo accept a child whose hair hasn’t even fully grown, so he was rejected.

Originally everyone thought that Yasuo, who was rejected, would leave soon.

But what no one expected was that the young Yasuo just knelt outside the door of the dojo for many days in a row, regardless of rain or shine.

The masters finally relented and accepted the child, who was not even as tall as Jian.

What no one expected was that the young Yasuo really showed unparalleled talent in kendo.

He actually became the only disciple in the entire sword sect who was favored by Elder Su Ma.

Elder Su Ma is the only inheritor of the contemporary Gale Swordsmanship!

Since then, Yasuo and Yongen have become the most talented disciples in the sword school, and have grown up little by little with the passage of time.

Until one day, Noxus’s invasion of Ionia began!

The ruthless war from the Iron Empire burned every corner of Ionia, and Yasuo’s village was no exception.

When news of the Noxian invasion reached the dojo, people were inspired by the Battle of Placidum, and soon the village was emptied of able-bodied men.

Especially after hearing that a girl named Irelia cut off the arm of a senior Noxian general, their fighting spirit became even stronger!

Yasuo is eager to contribute his swordsmanship on the battlefield.

However, even though all his peers and brothers left home to join the war, he still stayed in the village.

This was the mission assigned to him by his fellow disciples and elders – to protect the elderly master and elders.

This is like, Yasuo spent the whole game developing and finally got all six items, but in the end he was left behind by his teammates to defend the base.

Although his brother had admonished Yasuo countless times to be a dedicated and humble swordsman, Yasuo eventually forgot his brother’s teachings.

One night, the sound of Noxian war drums was heard in the valley adjacent to the village.

At that time, Yasuo foolishly believed that he had the power to change the situation of the battle by himself.

So he abandoned the mission assigned to him by his fellow disciples and brother and went to the canyon alone.

During this time, Yasuo suddenly heard a loud roar.

When he felt the valley, he was stunned.

In front of him were hundreds of Noxian and Ionian corpses. The deaths of these corpses were extremely tragic, and even their skin was corroded beyond recognition.

Yasuo suddenly realized that this kind of thing could not be stopped by a single sword or a single knife. The methods of Noxus were beyond his understanding!

As if realizing something, Yasuo hurried towards the village. When Yasuo returned to the village again, it was already the next morning.

As soon as he entered the village, the few remaining fellow disciples in the dojo surrounded him, with their swords drawn and pointed directly at him.

From their accusations, Yasuo learned a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

Elder Suma, his only master, died.

And he also became a traitor who left his post without permission and murdered the elders.

Although Yasuo himself knew very well that Elder Suma’s death was not caused by him, all the facts were now in front of everyone.

Yasuo realizes that if he doesn’t act quickly, the real murderer will remain at large, but if he wants to hunt down the murderer, he must draw his sword against his own fellow disciples!

Ultimately, Yasuo made his choice.

He used the wind swordsmanship taught to him by Elder Suma to break free from the siege of his fellow disciples and began to travel around Ionia.

But his act of escaping was tantamount to indirectly confirming his guilt.

From then on, Yasuo was searching for the cause of his master’s death from clues, while also having to deal with the hunting of his former fellow disciples.

Time and again, Yasuo was forced to choose between death and combat.

One after another, his fellow disciples died under his sword.

Until one day, Yasuo finally met his most terrifying enemy.

His brother, Yongen!

That day, in the dark rain, a battle between brothers quietly began.

At first, Yasuo had been fighting Yongen using an ordinary longsword distributed by the sword school to its disciples and the ordinary swordsmanship taught by the sword school.

However, Yongen is ultimately the most outstanding genius in the sword school.

Yasuo lost, and his longsword was directly cut off by Yongen’s double swords.

It was also at this time that Yasuo drew out the long sword that had been hanging from his waist.

Blade of the Wind!

The strong wind swept the rain curtain, forming a vacuum zone around the two of them. Yasuo also used all his strength at this moment.

The result of the battle was that Yongen died under the wind swordsmanship and in Yasuo’s arms.

As his brother in his arms was about to die, Yasuo kept saying, “I didn’t kill Elder Suma.”

He longed for his brother’s trust, and even more so for his brother to forgive him.

But in the end, Yongen just slowly closed his eyes.

Until his death, Yasuo never gained his brother’s trust and forgiveness.

Since then, Yasuo has lived in endless regret and self-blame all day long.

He hated himself, hated himself in the past, regretted abandoning his post, and regretted not protecting his master.

After many days of fruitless search for the truth of the matter, Yasuo became confused and immersed in endless negative emotions all day long.

Until today, when the spiritual flower bloomed, he was inspired by Zuo Chi and followed the old man here.

Slowly opening his eyes, Yasuo looked at the old man beside him.

At this time, the old man handed Yasuo a cup of steaming spiritual tea.

“Drink it all in one gulp, it will help you to communicate with spirits!”

Chapter 31 Yasuo’s Inner Demon, the Dual Swordsman!

Yasuo took the spiritual tea handed to him by the old man in his hand and stared at the mist rising from the cup.

“What’s in the cup can never be replenished.”

A very strange light flashed in the old man’s eyes, but he still kindly comforted Yasuo.

“Lord Yasuo, sometimes we must face our inner demons.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Yasuo sighed lightly, and without hesitation, drank the spiritual tea in the cup.

But at the moment when the spiritual tea entered his throat, Yasuo’s pupils shrank in an instant!
