Legends of Runeterra

"Irelia, what are you doing?"

"Brother Li...Brother Li En!"

Irelia stood up but lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"I...I'm collecting the broken pieces of the clan emblem!"

"The family crest? Is that the one engraved on Uncle Rito's armor?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll help you too!"

Li En said this, squatting down and searching through the ruins with Irelia.

Dukouer did not hold back when he struck the axe, and most of the long swords that formed the Zan family emblem were broken into dagger-sized pieces.

Irelia was searching intently, and was moving away from Li En slowly and imperceptibly.

Until the delicate right hand reached out to a piece of wood and tried to lift it up, a slight tingling sensation came from the fingertips.

"Hi~!"

"Hmm? Irelia, are you okay?"

Li En turned his head and saw Irelia holding her right index finger with her left hand. A bright red spot on the fingertip was growing rapidly.

"Brother Li En, I'm fine, I just hurt my finger accidentally!"

"Give me your hand, I'll help you deal with it!"

Upon hearing this, Irelia subconsciously stretched out her hand in front of Li En.

Looking at the wound on his fingertips that was bleeding profusely, Li En frowned slightly, and then put it directly into his mouth.

The operation was silky smooth and when Irelia reacted, she only felt the touch of her fingertips and tongue tip.

"Brother Li En~!"

Irelia let out a low cry and quickly looked around. She found that no one was paying attention to them for the time being, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Li En...what are you doing? Let go, my fingers are covered in dust!"

Irelia's delicate voice trembled slightly.

She was about to reach out and gently push Li En, but Li En quickly let go of her fingers.

"Heal the wound. If you don't believe me, look at the wound!"

Li En spat out the blood and said as a matter of course.

Although the process was a bit outrageous, out of trust in Li En, Irelia still looked at the fingertips.

I saw the index finger with a moist and shiny look. The wound that was bleeding had disappeared and the skin was intact.

"Huh!? Brother Li En, how did you do this?"

"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning!"

Li En smiled slightly and did not introduce the effect of [Activated Body], mainly because it was too troublesome to explain.

As for being afraid of being missed by others, I have never been worried about that at all.

Those who can beat him don't need him, and those who need him can't beat him.

If all else fails, you can call on Boss Shenlong, who is very reliable.

"Okay, I get it now!"

Irelia nodded obediently and did not continue to pester Li En with questions.

Picking up the piece of Zan family debris that had pierced their fingertips, the two continued to search.

The two then continued searching until all the fragments were found.

Irelia wrapped the fragments in tanned cowhide and tied them with rope.

Wrap it with a layer of coarse cloth, tie a knot at both ends, and then carry it on the back.

"Are you going to take them away, Irelia?"

"Yes, Brother Li En! The Zan family emblem has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. I will take these fragments with me and recast them when the time is right!"

"Well, your idea is very good. The inheritance must not be lost!"

"hey-hey!"

Irelia adjusted her long hair on her shoulders, looked at Li En quietly, and spoke very naturally.

"By the way, Brother Li En, why are you here at the Zan family? Did you... did you receive any letter?"

"Letter? No, you told me roughly where your hometown is before.

After I heard about the Noxian army in the Order of the Kinkou, I returned to Presidium and went directly to your master's dojo.

When I heard the news that you were coming home, I rushed over immediately!"

"So this is ah!"

Irelia felt relieved immediately, but then she felt a sense of inexplicable regret.

"Eh? The Order of the Balance? Could it be that..."

"Yes, it is the famous Church of Balance!"

"Brother Li En, what are you doing there?"

"Nothing, I just helped them deal with some troubles!"

The matter was too complicated, so Li En chose to just brush it off in one sentence.

"Yeah! Brother Li En..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Thank you for saving us!"

"No need to thank you, Irelia. It's great that I was able to save you in time!"

Li En lowered his head slightly, looking into Irelia's clear eyes, his calm voice filled with sincere emotion.

"Brother Li En~!"

The girl's heart trembled slightly, and her clear eyes were sparkling.

"Ahem! Mr. Li En, Irelia!"

"Eh~!"

A deliberately low voice sounded, and Irelia was startled and rushed directly behind Li En.

"Hello, Zelos, what's going on?"

"Mr. Li En, father asks you to come over!"

"Okay, got it. I'll be there now!"

After Li En finished speaking, he patted Irelia on the shoulder and walked out of the ancestral hall, leaving the brother and sister looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zelos recalled the scene he had just witnessed, and as he looked at his sister whose height had reached his shoulders, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Irelia, who was being stared at the whole time, went from being shy and unnatural at first to gradually becoming impatient.

"Irelia!"

"What? Zelos, just tell me what you want to say!"

"Nothing, just...Brother Li En~!"

Zelos was halfway through his speech when he suddenly began to imitate Irelia's previous gesture.

"Zelos you!?"

Irelia's fair face suddenly turned red.

Looking at Zelos's appearance, the girl felt extremely ashamed and angry, but also felt disgusted.

She wasn't being pretentious like Zelos, she was just shouting in a normal way!

"plum…"

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Zelos was about to repeat himself, Irelia, who had been patient to the extreme, raised her foot and stepped hard on the back of his foot.

"Ouch~!"

Zelos covered his left foot with his hands, frowning, a look of pain on his face.

"Hmph! You bastard Zelos, I told you not to bully me!"

Irelia snorted coldly, picked up the fragment of the clan emblem, and trotted out of the ancestral hall.

Seeing that Irelia didn't care about him at all, Zelos ended his pretense.

Looking at Irelia running towards Li En outside the ancestral hall, Zelos couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Ah~! The little guy has grown up. He is no longer the little kid who keeps asking his brother for candy!"

...

"Uncle Rito, you're looking for me!"

"Li En, you are here! Now that I have packed my luggage, I plan to lead my people eastward. There is a big river called 'Moi' forty kilometers away.

We in the Zan family have boats prepared there all year round.

We will then leave by water, so that the elderly, weak, women and children will not be left behind during the long journey!"

"Well, Uncle Rito, I think it's feasible! Let's go now without further delay?"

"Of course, let's go now!"

So, under Rito's organization, hundreds of people from the Zan family began to migrate.

Thanks to the Zan family's martial spirit, the average physical fitness of the clan members is very good.

A small number of tribesmen who were too old or too young also received help from others.

A team of hundreds of people marched rapidly towards the Moi River.
