The beating of his heart was very strong and familiar. It was as though the echo came from ancient times. Nasus was startled, which was why he didn't respond to the little person who bumped into him. He stared blankly at the girl who was lying on the ground, but still had that familiar arrogance.
It was the kind of arrogance that he thought he had forgotten, but was still engraved in his heart.
The Sun Bloodline, or rather, the arrogance of the Ascended Bloodline.
Regardless of their age and identity, their ambition and strength were higher than the sky. The thunderous heartbeat was also one of the rhythms that they pledged their loyalty to. Back then, under the leadership of the Ascended Bloodline, countless Ascended Bloodline served the Empire loyally. The Empire continued to improve and reform, and each day was better than the last. Moreover, because of these Ascenders and the wisdom of the Ascended Bloodline, their empire would never have the problems that mortal empires would have.
Most of the time, their heroes were rewarded and treated accordingly. The soldiers were fearless, brave, and loyal. The officials and scholars were honest and willing to admit their shortcomings and correct them.
But now, all of that was gone.
But no matter how much he missed it, he couldn't help but feel that it was surreal. He actually met a long-lost Ascended Bloodline in a ruined city!
"I'm sorry, but I'm too tired. I hope you're not hurt."
Sivir held her forehead in discomfort. She felt as though she had bumped into a stone wall and smashed her head against it. This made her subconsciously want to know if Li Ke was injured by her. After all, she had someone to help her heal. However, she also knew that it was better not to expose Li Ke's ability.
However, the little girl remained silent and she could sense that the little girl was staring at her. This made her feel uneasy because she realized that not only was the little girl's leg twisted, but the little girl's arm was also wrapped in bandages like a leper. She was suddenly afraid of the little girl. After all, if the little girl was really a cripple with leprosy, she might be in trouble.
She wasn't afraid, but she was also afraid that Li Ke would think that she was a nuisance and give up on teaching her.
"It's fine, little girl. Y-you have to be careful. Your body isn't suitable for this kind of exhaustion. You should rest."
Nasus hesitated for a long time, but he didn't reveal his identity immediately because he could tell that the little girl carried a strong aura of the common people. Even though the arrogance that came from the Ascended Bloodline was still the same, he was sure that she didn't receive a good education. That was why this dog-headed … no, jackal-headed Ascended Bloodline suddenly felt a sense of apprehension.
What if she wasn't willing to revive the Empire? What if she only wanted to live an ordinary life? What if her tragic childhood and lack of education caused her to become muddle-headed, causing the Ascended bloodline to be tainted?
In the original history, when Nasus met Sivir, it was when Azir revived Gusurima, raised the sun disk, and gathered a large number of people. Back then, he didn't have to worry about this at all because as long as he killed Zerath and awakened Renekton, their great empire would be reborn. By then, even if Sivir didn't know anything, they could still assist him and be led by Azir. When she passed the test, or when her next generation passed the test, he would return the power of the empire to her. That was why he revealed his identity as soon as he saw Sivir and asked her to leave with him.
But it was different now. Nasus was still immersed in the painful illusions of the past and was disheartened by the 'betrayal' of his brothers. He was delighted to see Sivir and wanted to rebuild the empire, but his heart was filled with hesitation and doubt. If it were a thousand years ago, he would decisively assist and rebuild the empire after seeing the Ascended Bloodline. But now, he had lost his decisiveness due to the sandstorm and mental torment.
This made him decide to investigate this descendant of the Ascended Bloodline. If her mind didn't taint the Ascended Bloodline, he would assist her. But if she didn't have the qualifications, he would provide for her until a qualified Ascended Bloodline appeared.
"Ha, thank you for your concern. But since you're here to show concern for me, it means that you're fine, right?"
Sivir stood up with some difficulty even though she fell twice due to exhaustion. However, she didn't reach out for Nasus's hand even after she stood up. But this rude action allowed Nasus to understand her inner thoughts and he was delighted because he could see from her eyes that she didn't want his help because this fall was her own fault. That was why she had to stand up with her own strength.
This was one of the pride of the Ascended Bloodline.
On the other hand, Nasus, who was trapped in his heart, began to worry. He was worried that she wouldn't accept anyone's help and advice, which was why he was equally worried as he was delighted by the situation. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this discovery.
"I'm getting old."
However, Sivir didn't know how many things had gone through this strange man's mind during their time together, and how many emotions had welled up in his heart. She only knew that she had wasted a lot of time and she had to pick up her pace.
"Goodbye then. I have to continue cultivating. Otherwise, I won't have lunch."
After she finished speaking, she began to run again, forcefully squeezing her body that had already reached its limit, wanting to leave this corner. However, her exhausted figure didn't require any advanced knowledge to make it clear that this beautiful girl had reached her limit. Nasus, who was once a wise sage, noticed it. He couldn't help but catch up with the staggering Sivir and yell at her to stop her.
"Wait! You've reached your limit! This won't be effective at all! You'll only cause irreversible damage to your body! "
However, Sivir gave him a direct reply.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Nasus couldn't care less anymore. He grabbed Sivir's shoulder to let her rest, but he missed because the moment he spoke, Sivir fainted on the ground.
