Legends of Runeterra

"Um!?"

Yunana and Akali looked at Li En together, with expressions of confusion and expectation on their faces respectively.

Li En flipped his left hand, and an ancient scroll appeared in his palm.

"Huh? Isn't this the map Kenan gave us?"

"That's right Akali, but Master Kennen gave us more than just a map."

Li En silently complained about the old guy Kennen in his heart, and looked at Yunana who seemed to have noticed something and was staring at the scroll closely.

"Yun Ana, you should have felt it."

"This...this is..."

"Give."

Li En raised his hand and handed the scroll to the other party, but Yun Ana subconsciously took half a step back, but her purple eyes were still fixed on the scroll.

"Take it. Even though Master Kenan never told me about it from the beginning, since he specially modified and hid this scroll, it must be for you, right?"

"I..."

Although she was one of the members who ended the Darkin Rebellion in Ionia and had been practicing in the "Twilight Temple" for thousands of years, Yunana was like an ordinary mortal at this moment. She looked at the scroll in Li En's hand with hesitation, a little moved, and some worry in her heart.

Li En had a special understanding of Yun Ana's condition.

Because what Li En has in his hand at this moment is not just a guiding map. Under the "calculation" of old Kenan, he deliberately hid the secret contract signed by Yunana and Master Binan thousands of years ago in it.

As for why Kennen acted like this, this member who had joined the Order of the Balance since its inception must have known about this even if he was not there when the contract was signed.

It is understandable that he feels ashamed to see Yun Ana because of the guilt in his heart.

"Well, you old man, you're too embarrassed to come see Yun Ana yourself, so you tricked me into coming here, right?"

Li En secretly complained about Kennen in his heart and took note of him.

Of course, as Li En is a broad-minded and gentle person, he won't do anything wrong. At most, he will add some "Dragon's Breath Pepper" developed by Jella to the ramen he makes for Kennen next time.

While thinking about how to get back at her, Li En looked at Yun Ana with a gentle smile.

"Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

"Master Kenan's intentions will become clear once you receive this scroll, right?"

"I...I understand."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

When Yunana opened her eyes again, her purple eyes were as calm as the surface of the water without ripples.

Stretching out her hands, Yunana solemnly took the ancient scroll.

next moment.

"Om~!"

A hazy spiritual light suddenly emerged from the scroll, forming countless mysterious runes in the air, and then quickly descended, converging and merging into Yunana's entire body with her as the center.

Her entire figure was obscured by the arcane runes. It was not until more than ten minutes later, when Yunana's figure reappeared in the gradually fading light.

Akali stood quietly beside Li En, but her hands quietly clasped Li En's arms, her eyes fixed on Yunana.

Although the relationship with her mother Meimu has eased somewhat, the Master Yunana, who is top-notch in strength, character, and will, has already been recognized by Akali, a somewhat proud genius girl.

There was even a hint of "grand filial piety" in that Akali felt that Yunana's temperament and vision were much greater than her own mother's.

"Hoo~!"

With a sigh of relief, Yunana slowly opened her eyes, just in time to meet two pairs of eyes that showed no concealment of concern.

Yunana, who had washed her body with the bone-chilling spiritual spring every day for thousands of years, now felt a refreshing warmth quietly emerging in her heart.

"How's it going, Yunana?"

"Master, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine, better than ever!"

"That secret contract..."

Out of respect for the people around him, Li En did not use any means to investigate the situation, even though it was possible to avoid the other party's spiritual perception.

It is just the most basic way to sense the other person's life breath and ensure their safety.

In response to Li En's question, Yunana's lips curled up slightly.

"Of course the contract is still there."

"Ah!? But Master, you just..."

"Don't worry Akali, Yunana, you still have something to say, right?"

"Haha~! That's right, Li En, Akali. The arcane contract we established is still there, but Master Kennen has modified some of its restrictions, so..."

"So, Master, you can leave this 'Twilight Temple' now!?"

Facing Akali's excited and expectant eyes, Yunana nodded without any hesitation.

"Yes, that's it."

"Great! Kennen is Kennen, I was planning to add some chili to his ramen..."

"Ahem! Okay Akali, I bet Kennen has his reasons for doing this. Forget about adding chili peppers to his ramen. Don't do that."

"Oh, I know Brother Li En."

Akali nodded in agreement seemingly obediently, but she was secretly thinking of a plan in her heart, and Li En naturally saw through it at a glance.

"Akali, did you really remember it?"

"Okay, I understand."

"Really, Brother Li En is so soft-hearted..."

Muttering something, Akali turned her head away from Li En.

Seeing this, Li En realized that Akali would not do that, so he smiled slightly and raised his hand to rub the girl's head.

"Sorry, Akali, the chili you prepared is definitely not as good as the 'Dragon's Breath Chili' that Zyra helped me cultivate."

Watching the interaction between Li En and Akali with great interest, Yunana did not feel any dissatisfaction with the little prank told by the girl. Instead, it reminded her of the time when she had just become a disciple of Hengjing.

The young and energetic Akali made Yunana yearn for the beauty of the material world even more.

"Now that everything is settled, without further ado, Yunana, how about we leave the contact array behind and then return directly to the material realm?"

"Of course!"

...

"Om~!"

The curtain between the material and spiritual realms was opened by a passage, and three figures slowly emerged.

In the distance, the morning sun slowly rose from the ground, and its golden and red light illuminated the colorful forests unique to Ionia.

“Puff~!”

Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a row of birds flew away further away.

The slightly cool and refreshing morning breeze blows towards you, making you feel a little refreshed.

"Welcome back to Ionia, Yunana."

Yunana withdrew her gaze from the distance, turned her head to look beside her, and stared into the pair of dark and gentle eyes.

"Well, thank you, Li En, and...Akali."
