lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Soon it figured out the direction.

The house about two hundred meters away from the headmaster is Yi's home.

Sora groped in the dark and crept along the route he had set in his mind.

Its nimble body allows it to move freely through the forest, but it becomes timid in relatively open villages.

It crossed the village road carefully.

When he was about to jump toward the tree trunk in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

Because in its field of vision, there was a large purple tree walking slowly towards the tree it was about to jump onto.

Sora remembered this strange tree.

At the "execution" scene of the two Noxian arsonists who were brought back, this tree was the absolute protagonist and core.

In the monkey's cognition, this cruel tree is much more difficult to deal with than Yi.

While the strange tree was shaking its branches at the other trees, Sora escaped to the narrow alley nearby.

It was forced to extend its route.

But in the end the monkey came to the house.

The soft glow of lanternflies shone through the windows.

The monkey scratched the golden hair on his cheek with his claws and began to think about how to play a prank.

After about a minute, it made a decision.

It will pick some out from the alchemical wasteland and hide them on Yi's door.

It wanted to see if this quasi-Wuji master who might become its master was really that strong and could avoid the wasteland that fell when the door opened.

Just do it without saying anything.

The stick it had just obtained was just right for picking up dirt.

However, just as it turned around, it suddenly sensed a gloomy atmosphere coming with the cold wind.

"squeak!"

Kong was startled and let out a monkey cry.

But then a voice sounded around.

"You don't want him to know that you were sneaking around outside Yi's house, do you?"

Chapter 166 Teaching

Ryan floated quietly in the night sky, as if melting into the night behind him.

He had never thought before that he would say such words to a monkey.

But these words were so suitable for the situation that he couldn't help but say them.

Fortunately, the monkey didn’t understand what was wrong.

It stood there scratching its head and eyes, as if looking for other ways to escape.

But in the end... its wit allowed it to choose the best way.

After seeing Ryan eliminate the alchemical flames, it didn't think its little tricks would be of any use.

"you......"

It raised its head and looked at Ryan.

But suddenly I felt that the person in front of me seemed a little different from before.

It's a very strange feeling...

Kong felt like he had returned to his childhood, and Ryan was the monkey elder who took care of him.

"What do you want to do here?"

Ryan landed softly on the ground.

While speaking, he observed Sora's expression.

The monkeys' hair obscures many of their facial muscles, making this observation somewhat more difficult.

But the monkey's unconcealed exaggerated expression keeps the difficulty within a certain range.

All in all, Ryan's skill at reading people's expressions was on par with the monkey's skill at concealing his expression.

"I want to... relax."

The monkey hesitated.

"In the middle of the night, you're walking around in front of someone's door with a stick?" Ryan noticed the monkey's expression, which was very similar to when he was a child and was caught doing something bad by his family.

"I......"

The monkey was speechless.

Whenever it wanted to make up a lie to prevaricate, the face of the old monkey who once took care of it would always appear in its mind.

No matter how naughty a monkey is, it will eventually mature.

After being hunted by Noxians and witnessing the destruction of Wuji Sword Village.

Sora seemed to finally understand something.

Now it wants to be a useful monkey.

With all sorts of emotions piling up, Kong suddenly wanted to tell Ryan the truth, "I don't think this young man named Yi can teach me!"

Has the plot developed to this point?

Ryan was stunned for a moment.

In the original novel, Kong and Yi met after Wuji Sword Village was destroyed.

Kong saw Yi in the ruins. After many challenges in which he was repeatedly defeated, Yi seemed to discover some advantages in the monkey.

During that time, Yi was worried about whether the inheritance of the Wuji Sword School would have to rely on himself to continue in the future, so by chance he accepted Kongdang as his disciple.

But Ryan didn't expect that under the current circumstances, it would be Yi who would teach Kong.

This situation reminded him of Riven and the Conde couple.

Although the plot has changed, these people who should have been connected are always brought together by fate.

So... fate really exists?

Ryan remembered Vastaya Xiarui's theory of destiny's gift.

The scary thing about superstition is that it makes those who believe in it lose their own judgment of things, and it also makes those who don't believe in it inexplicably feel like there is an extra shackle behind them.

Ryan raised his head and looked at the monkey.

The latter was looking at him with reverence.

It seemed that the power of the mark that Vastaya Xiarui had given him was a bit too strong, as it could actually make a jumpy monkey behave so obediently in front of him.

And it seemed to be waiting for its own answer.

Ryan was silent for a moment in empty anticipation.

He could feel that given Sora's current state, his opinion would play a decisive role.

So if there really is such a thing as the theory of destiny's gift...

If there really is a string hanging behind everyone, controlling everyone's life.

Then it seems that I now have the power to cut the thread behind Kong.

Ryan smiled with relief when he thought of this.

If this so-called fate is so easy to tamper with, then what difference does it make whether it exists or not?

"Want to hear my advice?"

"Yes!" Sora nodded.

"Then use an upright method to see if he is qualified to teach you..."

Ryan looked at Kong, both out of kindness towards the Vastaya and out of liking for the hero Sun Wukong.

He hopes that this monkey can become better in this universe than in the original universe.

Following a brighter Yi than the one in the original book seems to be the most convenient way.

But it's all up to them to choose.

Ryan proved the existence and fragility of fate in his own way.

But he doesn't think that he is qualified to control the lives of those weaker than him.

Because when you accept this approach, it means that you acquiesce to a being stronger than you to dominate your life.

Just like the saying "be in awe of power", it doesn't mean you should be afraid of power itself.

Instead, when you use power, you should maintain a certain respect and bottom line for the impact and consequences of that power.

Ryan looked at the monkey who seemed lost in thought and continued, "When you abuse pranks wantonly, the pranks are also playing tricks on you...Don't always think about those meaningless little tricks, it will only take you further away from the right path.

"Challenge him in the most direct way possible. If one challenge doesn't work, try twice. If two challenges don't work, try five, six, seven, or eight more. Use the results to prove whether he's unqualified to teach you or whether you've misunderstood him.

"If he loses to you during this process, I believe the master will not force you to become his apprentice..."

"Challenge?" The monkey's eyes lit up.

Ryan's words touched its heart.

After all, this is what it thought in the original book.

For the Vastaya people, who have a bit of "animal" in their character, challenge is the most direct and effective way to choose.

But it seemed that there was a lack of an opportunity for challenge...The monkey frowned.

After deciding to abandon those evil pranks, it suddenly seemed as if its hands and feet were tied.

Before, it had twelve mischievous ways to stir up trouble, but now it can't do anything.

Fortunately, the thoughtful Ryan hasn't left yet.

He understood the monkey's hesitation.

"Looking for a suitable opportunity?"

"Yes!"

"When I say don't overuse pranks, I'm not saying you should give them up completely. If fun is your nature, then you have to learn how to find a balance."

Ryan felt that he was being a bit nagging.

In the background story, Kong suffered a lot because of this character.

Maybe under normal circumstances, "mouth fighting" can't solve anything, but if this mouth fighting is blessed by Vastaya Xiarui... then it will most likely work.

Looking at the hesitant monkey, Ryan decided to give it one last push.

"You know what a reasonable prank is?"

"What?" The monkey raised his head.

"This prank won't affect your relationship with this person... Also, if this prank affects others, find a suitable person to take it out on."

Ryan winked at the monkey.

Then he raised his fingertips and picked up a stone with a gloomy airflow.

"like this......"

The stone smashed Yi's window with a bang.

When the swordsman reacted and looked out of the broken window, he only saw a monkey with a hairy face looking at him with a stick in his hand.

Chapter 167 Cleanup

The morning light shines on the earth.

The scorched wasteland looked even more desolate.
