On the way back to the Temple of the Order of the Balance, Akali looked around nervously, and from time to time she forced a smile to respond to people who greeted her on the road.

"Little girl, can you act more naturally?" Li Lin's slightly helpless voice suddenly sounded beside Akali.

In order to avoid accidents, he chose to put on his armor, enter optical camouflage state and follow this little girl.

"Why am I not natural?" Akali said without turning her head. She couldn't see where Li Lin was anyway.

This technology was much more powerful than the stealth and invisibility techniques that Shen had taught her, and she couldn't help but feel envious.

If I could be as talented as Li Lin, maybe my mother would recognize me...

"You look like you've done something shameful."

Akali's mind was already in a mess, and with Li Lin's complaint, her small feet in the ninja fetish accidentally kicked a stone, causing her body to lose balance and stumble, attracting even more surprised looks.

She quickly stood still as if nothing had happened and continued walking towards the row of wooden houses next to the temple. "I know. Please stop talking so that others won't hear you."

A few minutes later, Akali returned to the temple, but happened to meet her mother Meimu.

Since she had already washed the tears from her face in the lagoon, and Mei Mu was not paying much attention to her daughter, she could not see any signs of crying in her eyes.

"Akali!" Meimu called her name harshly.

As if she had noticed something, Meimu frowned slightly and looked towards Akali.

But there was nothing there except a ray of sunlight shining through the shade of the trees to the ground and the invisible and intangible air.

Is it my illusion?

Mei Mu shook her head and refocused her gaze on her daughter. Her cheekbones moved slightly, as if she was holding back some anger.

"Since you've already made up your mind to inherit the position of Shadow Fist, why are you running around all day instead of training? I haven't even contacted you about today's matter!"

Akali stared at her mother who was scolding her, tears welling up in her eyes, revealing a hint of sadness, but it was soon replaced by rebellious stubbornness.

In the past, her mother always said that she was not good enough. Ever since her best friend's daughter, Meimu's only apprentice, lost her right leg, she scolded Aka harshly every day without teaching her any ninja skills.

"You refuse to accept me as your apprentice and you don't teach me anything. I learned all my knowledge from Shen and Kennen. You obviously stopped caring about me a long time ago, so why do you still chase me and scold me every day?!" Akali roared in self-abandonment.

"You..." Mei Mu was speechless for a moment.

Li Lin, who had been observing from the side, remained silent and did not reveal his true identity to defend Akali.

He could see that Meimu now had a deep grudge against Akali and could not be persuaded with just a few words.

This kind of parent-child matter will not work unless Meimu, as a mother, can suddenly wake up and reconcile with Akali.

Otherwise, the sharp contradictions can only be smoothed out by the passage of time or some special events related to the two people.

Hearing the noise outside, Kenan rolled over several times and, taking advantage of his small stature, crawled out of the broken window of the temple and jumped between the mother and daughter.

This is not the first or second time that Akali has quarreled with her mother.

At such times, apart from Kenan who could slightly ease the rift between the mother and daughter, no one else dared to come forward to "mediate", but this was just a drop in the bucket.

Shen turned a blind eye to this. He would only restrict and dissuade Akali during subsequent training, and use chants and meditation to gain peace of mind.

Kennen glanced back at Akali, whose face was filled with melancholy, then returned his gaze to Maymu, who was staring at her intently, and frowned, "Maymu, you..."

Taking advantage of this moment, Akali suddenly started running, but her destination was not outside the temple where she used to go, but the wooden house where the boys were resting.

Before Meimu and Kennen could react to what was happening, Akali had already disappeared around the corner at the end of the path.

"That's the direction of Fei's house!" Mei Mu frowned, and ignoring Kenan's shouting, he took two steps at a time and immediately chased after him.

Soon, the Yodel, transformed into lightning, caught up with her at an even faster speed. "Akali and Fei are close sisters. She would never do anything to harm Fei."

Because the speed was too fast, Kenan could only circle around Meimu to keep the same speed as her, which was his usual practice.

Mei Mu didn't say anything, but was secretly shocked.

She had never expected that Akali could be so fast now. Just a moment's difference in time had already made her unable to catch up with her daughter.

Even if I haven't been on a mission for several years, my skills can't possibly have regressed to this level...

Just as Meimu was thinking, she heard the voices of Fei and Akali talking.

"Akali, why are you here?" This was Fei's voice, with a hint of distance.

Five years ago, the dangerous South Valley outside the lagoon was invaded by the dark aura of dangerous members of the Navoli Brotherhood, causing the corrupted tree spirits in the spiritual realm to awaken and go into a violent state.

Akali rescued several children, but because of this behavior, her best sister Fei used a bow and arrow to clear the way for her, but she herself was unable to avoid the landslide caused by the vicious tree roots.

In the collapsed rock, Fei, who was only 12 years old, lost her right calf below the knee, completely losing her qualification to become a disciple of the Sect of Balance.

It was at that time that she broke off her relationship with her good sister, Akali, the master's daughter, just because Akali did not listen to her advice and left the dangerous place first.
