"Why can't it be me?"

Li Lin's armor quickly turned into an Ionian-style short cannon. Akali was stunned, and the sadness of crying just now quickly turned into curiosity.

"How... did you do that?" She tried her best to suppress the sobs caused by crying and spoke in a calm tone.

"Technology, something I learned in Piltover." Li Lin said with a smile, and changed the subject: "Why did you sneak away to such a remote place?"

Suddenly, Akali seemed to have thought of something, and nervously wiped her tear-stained face a few times, "I, I'm not crying!"

"Hmm...I don't think I said that, did I?"

Akali was stunned for a moment, then glared at Li Lin fiercely with a malicious look, "Don't tell anyone!"

She is only 14 years old now, but even though she has experienced more than the average child, this little girl's personality is almost the same as Bakugo and Seraphine.

Li Lin walked to the lakeside, next to where Akali had just sat, and looked back at her. "Come and sit down."

"This isn't your home, why do you act like you're the owner?"

Having said this, she sat back down.

Li Lin knew that for various reasons, Akali had been troubled by her own heart knot for a long time.

If she doesn't untie it soon, she will soon follow the path of the original world line and become the "Rogue Thorn" who rebelled against the Order of the Balance and is committed to fighting against the Noxians.

This will have no effect on Li Lin's creation of the last line of defense for humanity by gathering heroes, and may even have a negative effect.

Unfortunately, Akali's mother Meimu doesn't care about her at all.

As a Yordle, Kennen often thinks and acts completely differently from humans, so he cannot take the little girl's psychological problems into consideration.

Not to mention Shen, he can't even get over the knot in his heart that his father was "killed" by his best friend. He is like a mute oil bottle every day, and is only useful in teaching Akali kung fu and fighting skills.

Instead of expecting him to deal with Akali's inner problems, it would be better to let him go out and maintain the balance between the material and spiritual realms, which would at least be beneficial to ordinary people.

I didn't expect that not only would I have to mediate conflicts between heroes, but now I also have to take on the responsibility of guiding them through their psychological problems...

Li Lin picked up a small stone and started skipping it on the water.

Akali stared at the ripples spreading across the clear lake in front of her, stunned for a moment.

"When I was little, my father took me out to play secretly, and we often strolled along the Green Grass River..."

A dark look flashed across her face, but she quickly shook it off, forced a smile, and changed the subject, "By the way, your name is Li Lin, right?"

"You actually know my name too?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows. They walked all the way to the temple where the Order of the Balance was hiding, until Akali suddenly disappeared, but no one mentioned her name.

"Hey, don't you see who I am?"

Akali narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked very proud, as if she thought she had won the game back, and her previous sadness was completely gone.

Kenan and Meimu had never heard the name "Li Lin" from Shen before. They only knew it after he introduced himself.

The only possibility is that Akali overheard the conversation between Shen and the Sapper when they were in contact a week ago.

"Okay, okay... Little clever boy, I think you are very suitable for the position of Shadow Fist."

Finally, she heard the most praise she had received in the past few years, and it came from an outsider. Akali's eyes widened, and the joy in her eyes was obvious.

"Do you really think so?"

But just as she asked the question, she frowned again, supported her bent legs with her elbows, and held her cheeks with her hands, looking annoyed.

"Well, you don't understand the Order of the Kinkou at all. You were just trying to comfort me, weren't you?"

"I'm Ionian, how come I don't know about the Kinkou?"

Li Lin's expression straightened slightly, "The duty of the Twilight Eye is to observe the stars, the duty of the Violent Heart is to chase the sun, and the duty of the Shadow Fist is to prune the branches.

"The Eye of Twilight is responsible for making calm decisions, the Fist of Shadow carries out missions, and the Heart of Rage makes judgments and arbitrates to maintain harmony within the sect."

"The eternal wisdom of stargazing, the unwavering determination of sun-following, and the indispensable practice of pruning—all three are indispensable to achieving balance. Isn't this the core tenet of the Order of the Kinkou?"

Akali was stunned. "You haven't even been ordained as a disciple of the Order of the Balance, so how do you know so much about our sect?"

Then, she frowned and stood up with an elegant backflip without any delay, putting some distance between herself and Li Lin.

Four tiny kunai came out from somewhere in her right hand and were sandwiched between her fingers.

"Are you a spy sent by the Shadow?"

Li Lin couldn't help but give her a blank look. Before Akali could react, the man in front of her suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, she felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her that stung her cheeks, and then the gaps between her right fingers became empty, and the kunai that she had been holding tightly disappeared.

But her intuition told her that there was someone behind her.

As Akali turned around, Li Lin pressed his thumb and middle finger, which happened to hit her fair forehead, leaving a red mark.

"It hurts!" Akali screamed in pain, immediately covered her forehead, took a few steps back, and stared at the man in front of her with an incredible look.

Having received ninja training, she has a high tolerance for pain. Although she feels pain, this kind of "finger snap" should not cause her to have this kind of reaction.
