What kind of people were the members of the Brotherhood?
Master Yi was very clear in his heart because he used to be one of them: These people were originally loyal and righteous people. These people were the ones who fought against the Noxus people and the Void Creatures on the frontlines. They were also the ones who sacrificed the most.
But.
That was in the past.
Things were always like this. As long as there were many people in an organization, it would attract all kinds of people to join. This was especially true for an organization that had no restrictions on recruiting for a common goal.
And the Brotherhood was such an organization. However, ironically, those loyal and passionate people were often the ones who died the quickest. And after these loyal and passionate people died, it was naturally obvious what kind of people the remaining people in the organization would be.
Among those who stayed, it could not be said that all of them were in cahoots with each other. They were people who did not care about the life and death of their country and homeland for their own selfish interests. However, they were people who valued power and did not have the guts to fight against the enemy. But they had the guts to bully their own people.
So when he asked the local Brotherhood for information, Master Yi was already prepared to be deceived by them. And as expected, these people did not say anything about what they did. Instead, they talked about Kai Ying's threats and brutality.
"Let's go."
He waved his hand and signaled Jie to follow him. He did not explain to Jie, and Jie also guessed something, so he followed him with a calm expression.
Master Yi nodded silently. Even though Jie was only about ten years older than him, he had always maintained the humility of a 'disciple' in front of him. The reason was because of the title of 'Master' above his head.
Because he and Jie had the same title and similar status, Jie was respectful to him to this extent. This indeed made Yi envious. To have such a courageous and intelligent disciple who was well-versed in etiquette, and who respected his master from the bottom of his heart, and who had a good character.
He estimated that according to the etiquette of a 'disciple', Jie would ask him a question that he already knew the answer to when they were far away from the Brotherhood's eyes and ears. He would let this' elder 'of his speak.
And as expected, with their perception and experience, they walked for about two streets. When they walked into a secluded alley under the silent and fearful gazes of the civilians, Jie spoke.
"Is there a problem here? Master Yi? "
What kind of respect was this?
Just as Yi Yi expected, Jie asked the same question. After a slight sigh, he answered the white-haired young man that he already knew the answer.
"Yes, in the Valley Kingdom, we learned that Kaiyin overthrew a tyrannical monarch who restored the serfs. But here, they didn't say anything. Why did Kai Ying start a conflict with the tax collection team here … Because of a brothel girl? Ha, what a joke. Do you think a twelve-year-old child with a Vastaya youth around the same age would kill so many people because of this? "
Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Even though he wasn't very satisfied with how Kaiin 'took care' of these pitiful women, Kaiin's actions constantly proved that he was a good child who just took the wrong path.
Therefore, he was very disappointed with the words of the Brotherhood that had now changed. If not for the fact that he could be considered a member of the Brotherhood in the past, he would have already drawn his sword and beheaded these people who were full of lies.
But even though they escaped this time, Yi Yi felt like it was only a matter of time. As long as he witnessed them bullying their own kind, he would still take action.
"Besides, I think Yasuo can clear up our doubts about this."
He turned around and gazed at a huge tree in the distance. This tree was famous for its ability to store rainwater during rainy days, keeping the canopy dry forever, and not getting wet if one hid under it. It was also known as the Traveler's Tree.
But unfortunately, the Ronin standing under the Traveler's Tree didn't enjoy the services of the Traveler's Tree. Instead, he felt like he was taking shelter from the rain under an ordinary tree. The sound of the rain hitting his bamboo hat made him quite irritated.
"You're finally here. It's just as Master Yi said. That guy called Kai Yin only intervened because those tax collectors collected too much tax and wanted to sell off all the women. However, that guy's taste isn't bad. The woman he found is a good wife and mother."
Yasuo turned around, revealing the person he was hiding. This wanderer had always had a casual expression on his face, but now, his casual expression was abnormally stiff. Because the two girls behind him had made that kind of decision after all, so he …
A fool who didn't know how to comfort others.
Master Yi couldn't help but sigh. He reached into his pocket and took out a money pouch. Although he didn't like to say it, sometimes money could comfort people more than words. This money could allow the two girls to bring their families to a place where no one knew them and start a new life. Therefore, this thing was more comforting than Yasuo's clumsy comfort to these girls who were forced by life and natural disasters.
Yasuo heaved a sigh of relief when Master Yi took out the money pouch. It wasn't that he didn't know that his consolation was clumsy and wasn't as effective as money, but …
He was poor.
The way Master Yi walked over with the money bag was naturally seen by the two girls. Before Master Yi opened his mouth to ask, the girl in the lead opened her mouth.
"We don't want your money, Master Yi. If we still ask for money after receiving your favor, then we're worse than pigs and dogs."
Her expression was simple and stubborn. Yi's eyes opened slightly behind his goggles because he saw a familiar accessory on the girl's head. He had seen the same accessory on a female warrior who was cut in half by a Noxus warrior when she tried to cover her child's escape.
He clutched the money pouch in silence because he remembered every Ionian who sacrificed themselves for him. He knew that the female warrior's husband died in the hands of the Noxus people in order to seek revenge.
The Noxus people were chopped into 27 pieces and the dead couldn't be revived.
But now, the scratched accessory was on this girl's head and the Brotherhood that her parents fought for sent people to bully her. They didn't care that her parents fought for the survival of Ionia.
… The daughter of a righteous warrior … How did she end up like this after her parents died?
Master Yi's hands trembled. He didn't dare to imagine how many more children he didn't see. How many of them were the children of those who fought for Ionia and were persecuted by the organizations that they once worked for?
It took him a great deal of effort to calm his agitated heart. Then, he spoke with a trembling voice.
"You … Your parents participated in the war against the Noxus?"
The girl was taken aback. She nodded in astonishment.
"Yes, my cousin's parents died in the war against the Noxus people."
Yi Yi looked at the girl who was hiding in the girl's arms, and then saw the familiar accessories and family patterns. While Yi remained silent, the girl spoke hesitantly. She looked at Yi's face expectantly and nervously and asked her question.
"You … Do you know my parents? My mother's name is Sartory and my father's name is Li Yi. "
Master Yi remained silent. Just as the girl was about to be disappointed, he spoke again.
"I don't know your parents. I've never spoken to them before. Before you spoke, I've never heard of their names."
The girl lowered her head in disappointment. She wanted to know the story of her parents, but she knew that her mother was just an ordinary swordswoman and her father was just a traveling merchant. Although their family was considered wealthy and could even afford to send her and her cousin to school, their reputation was nothing but a joke.
"But I know their story."
Yi reached out his hand and stroked the child's hair. Then, he silently took off his Seven Star Insight Goggles and looked at the girl with his own eyes.
"They are all brave and fearless warriors. For this land, they sacrificed their most precious things, their lives, and their companionship to you."
Master Yi opened his mouth. Then, he made a decision.
"But the reason why they died was to help me destroy a Noxus people's stronghold. That's why I promised them that I would take good care of their children. So, I'm sorry, child. I'm late. Once this matter is over, I'll bring you back to Wuji Village. No one can bully you anymore. "
Master Yi intended to continue. Even though he would be gossiped about if he brought this girl back to Wuji Village, he didn't care. The true meaning of Wuji was limitless and without boundaries.
As long as they did the right thing and didn't deviate from the right path, the people of Wuji Village had no taboos.
However, the girl shook her head and revealed a bright smile to Master Yi.
"You're lying to me, right?"
Master Yi gripped the hilt of his sword. The murderous intent in his heart grew stronger.

"Who do you think you are to take other people's sacrifice and hard work as your own? You even enjoy and waste it as you please?"
Li Ke stepped on the head of the King of this country. He stood on top of the castle wall that he had destroyed and looked at the terrified slaves below. He saw the confusion and panic in their eyes.
He also hid his joy well.
Unfortunately, the King under his feet was a tough nut to crack. Even at this point, he was still unyielding and didn't have the slightest intention of repentance.
In other words, he already knew that repentance was useless. He still had to die.
"I'm the King! Everything that belongs to them is mine! That's why you're spouting nonsense! But you! The Emperor of Noxus! If you want to talk about slaves! You have more slaves than I do! If you want to kill me for the righteousness of slaves! The first one you have to kill is yourself! "
After he finished speaking, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and desperately turned his head to look at the panicking slaves below. These were the people that he had turned from citizens to slaves. They gathered here because of Li Ke's sudden intrusion and watched their master suffer such humiliation.
"Listen! Slaves! You think that this guy who upholds justice for you! He's just a slave owner! If you become my slave, you can eat and wear warm clothes, and you don't have to worry about being sent to the battlefield! But if you become his citizens, you'll just become invisible slaves! You know the brutality and system of Noxus! "
He spoke with great effort, and the slaves below looked at each other. They obviously knew that almost every citizen of Noxus had to serve in the military, unless you had some special ability.
Therefore, the slaves who originally came to besiege Li Ke firmly grasped the weapons in their hands and pointed their spears at him. The King, whose name Li Ke didn't even remember, laughed out loud when he saw this scene. He then turned his head and looked at Li Ke with a sinister expression.
"Hahahaha! Do you see that? The Emperor of Noxus! I can use the hearts of the people! Even if you kill me, it's useless! My kingdom will still exist! My family is still the ruler of this country! Don't you dare think of destroying my family's property! "
Li Ke looked at the slaves and soldiers who knew that they couldn't defeat him, but still charged at him for the sake of their families. He then looked at the King who was laughing wildly and vomiting blood. He sneered from the bottom of his heart.
"So, are you reminding me to kill your entire family, including the cockroaches and dogs in your family? Are you reminding me to kill them all?"
The king's face immediately became frightened. He wanted to say something, but Li Ke used a bit of force, and the king's ribs broke. The broken bones pierced into his lungs. Blood gushed into his throat, causing him to be unable to say another word.
"Thank you for your reminder. Then I'll kill your entire family, even if I'm too lazy to waste my time here."
After saying this, a shabby sickle appeared in Li Ke's hand. It was a farmer's tool. Then, under everyone's gaze, he slashed the sickle at the King's neck.
Then, when the King's head flew off, the blade of the sickle turned red, and the old King's soul was sucked into the blade and firmly imprisoned.
He looked at all this in horror. He could still hear and see everything around him, but he couldn't do anything. He was firmly imprisoned in the red sickle.
Then, he sensed the location of all his family members. The sickle was sensing his family members through his blood and soul! Its appearance gradually became shabby and ordinary. He even saw that the sickle no longer existed in everyone's eyes. It was as if the sickle was normal wherever it appeared.
"Anyone who agrees with your opinion and is your family member will be sensed by this sickle. Furthermore, when killing those who agree with you and their accomplices, this scythe will grant the user my power. It will also automatically seek out civilians who have a blood feud with people like you to recognize as its master. Furthermore, before making a move, anyone will ignore the existence of this scythe. "
Li Ke smiled at the King's soul, and everything he said was heard by the slaves and soldiers.
"Why don't you guess what will happen to your family if I throw this to the slaves and commoners?"
No! No!
The old King screamed in horror, but he couldn't do anything. He could only watch as Li Ke extended the sickle out of the castle wall, let go of the sickle, and let it fall into the crowd of slaves. Then, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"How about it? A person must be honest. If I say I'll kill your family, then I'll kill your family. No need to thank me. "
Li Ke said one last sentence to the king's soul. This sentence would appear in the souls of these people after the death of the king's last relative who agreed with his ideals, so that they could hear this message. After doing this, Li Ke suddenly disappeared from the castle wall, just like the sickle that suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only chaos.
