The strong wind blew through every corner of the hall, fluttering the window screens, blowing away the rolls of paper, and breaking the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the hall.

Asa, who had a guilty conscience, turned his head and looked over.

In the moonlight outside the house, a figure wearing a straw hat stood quietly,

That face was very familiar to Riven.

It was the "thief" who appeared in the village and "stole" the straw hat.

In fact, Asa's father is more familiar with that person than Riven.

He even screamed out when he first appeared: "It's you!"

And his next sentence also revealed this man’s identity————

"Yasuo."

He didn't wear a straw hat or cover his face with a cloak. The long sword at his waist and the metal shoulder pads on his shoulders and neck were also exposed. This also made Riven know the identity of this man for the first time.

Yasuo...?

Is he the person who was rumored to have betrayed Yufeng Gym!?

A trace of surprise appeared on Riven's face.

But Yasuo's face did not change at all after his identity was revealed.

He walked slowly into the hall, his footsteps leaving no sound on the stone floor.

He did not look at the old man who was shocked by his appearance.

A pair of sharp eyes stared at Riven until he was within a sword's reach in front of her.

The strong wind suddenly subsided, and the hall fell into silence.

Two pairs of eyes watched helplessly as the man named Yasuo pulled out a big sword from behind and dropped it in front of Riven.

"Pick it up."

Riven lowered her head, listening to the crisp collision sound of metal touching the stone floor, and looking at the big sword that fell to her hand. The familiar blade and the familiar rune inscriptions made the blood in her body instantly surge.

After a few moments, his trembling fingers gently touched the sword body, and the shackles connected to the chain immediately made a crisp sound.

But just when Yasuo was holding the long blade at his waist, ready to go, Riven suppressed the impulse to his surprise, let out a long breath, and leaned back on his ankles.

, looked at Yasuo.

Without the shield of the straw hat, under the moonlight cast from outside the hall, Yasuo's weathered face was fully visible in Riven's eyes, including the ferocious scar that stretched between the bridge of the man's nose.

"Pick it up!"

Before Riven could hold the sword, Yasuo noticed Riven's eyes looking at his face. The eyes lingering between the bridge of his nose made him involuntarily think of the man who left this mark on him, and his heart was a little turbulent.

anger,

The tone that made him speak again was much louder, and there was a bit more harshness in his voice.

"I won't pick it up again."

Riven lowered her head, her eyes lingering on the sword,

Under the moonlight, the sword shone with a faint metallic luster, and every part of the sword was so familiar to her.

But that gap was the only reminder of her scarred past, which prompted her to reject him.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Immediately after Riven's words, Yasuo took a step forward, followed by a loud shout, and the long sword at his waist fell silently into his hand in an instant, and as

Yasuo stretched out his arm and pointed at Riven's eyebrows:

"Pick it up and fight me!!"

Yasuo's voice was full of ferocity, and along with the anger in his words came the strong wind blowing in the hall.

The strong wind shook the long table, pushed the bench away, and pushed Riven's body to fall backward involuntarily.

Looking at Riven, looking at the person who had caused him endless injustice, Yasuo was ready for a fight to the death.

But Riven...

"I know you, Yasuo, a disciple of Elder Suma."

Facing the oppression of the wind and magic energy, Riven's expression never changed at all, and even her voice was so calm: "The people in the village said that you betrayed the village and colluded with the Noxians to cause this.

All this, and some people say that you don't even let your brother go. I understand your grievances."

Sitting on the ground, looking at the rune sword that was involuntarily flashing with dark brilliance as the magic energy surged, Riven slowly reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword and stood up, but never raised the sword.

"I'm not a murderer!!!" Yasuo roared, his angry voice echoing in the hall. The harsh volume made the old man beside him cover his ears in pain.

But Yasuo didn't notice it and yelled angrily at Riven: "Killing the elders, killing Yongen, and my fellow disciples, those were not done by me, it was you, the evil person, your brother,

It’s you, it’s you, it’s you——!!!” Yasuo’s chest rose and fell violently, his voice full of anger and sadness,

Yon'en's death, Elder Suma's death, and his senior brother's death were wounds that could not be erased in his heart, but those wounds were opened one by one by Riwen, the murderer's relative, and the wounds were dripping with blood.

This caused his hand holding the sword to tremble uncontrollably, and the wind escaping from the sword blade caused chaos in the hall.

In the strong wind, Riven was like a rootless leaf. The strong wind blew her hair away, and the white hair was like dancing thorns lashing her eyebrows.

But Riwen didn't care about that at all, her body still stood there steadily, like a giant climbing to the sky.

"You should have heard clearly what I just said outside, and you also know the beginning and end of the matter. After tonight, what awaits me may be the judgment of death, but before that, Father Asa and I can prove all this for you.

In this way, your grievances can be cleared. Of course, if you feel it is not enough, then I will stand here."

Looking at Yasuo with red eyes, Riven's eyes were full of determination:

"As his sister, if my death can calm your anger and hatred, then come on, I will not resist."

"Deda!" Riven's words made Asa scream out in surprise. Looking at this girl who was like his own daughter, his face was full of anxiety.

But the manic wind pushed him to the corner of the hall, and he could only shout anxiously.

"It's okay, Dad."

Turning her head slightly, Riven gave Asa a smile, looked at Yasuo calmly, and saw him roaring and swinging his sword directly between his eyebrows,

She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for death to come.

But after waiting for a long time, the approaching long blade still did not cross her eyebrows. Instead, the manic wind abnormally took a few steps back to the opposite place.

Riven opened her eyes.

What caught the eye was Yasuo's uncertain face. Depression and ferociousness were changing rapidly between his brows. Riven could see the man's struggle.

This made her feel even more guilty.

After a long time, the ferocious look crept up on his brows again, and Yasuo's eyes once again had a hint of scarlet.

And Riwen also sighed slightly in her heart,

"I admire you for your willingness to admit guilt on his behalf, but..."

Yasuo gasped as his chest rose and fell, and the long blade trembled in his hand, just like his ups and downs of heart.

"Do you know how I live these days?"

With a bit of breathlessness, Yasuo's eyes were full of pain and sadness, "Eating and sleeping in the open air, lying on the ground in the open air."

"It was you who made me leave my hometown unjustly..."

"It was you who made me kill my fellow disciples with my own hands, and also...killed my own brother with my own hands."

"Yongen...Yongen!"

Yasuo's voice trembled, whimpering like a wounded beast: "It's you, it's you..."

"No resistance? Want to die in exchange for the end of the matter?"

"Hehe...hehe!"

"How can it be so easy?"

"If your death can end all this, then what are the grievances I have suffered in the past few months?!!!???" At the end of the words, Yasuo roared again.

"You are going to die...and your brother, Julian, is going to die too."

Looking at the speechless Riven, the panting Yasuo sternly said: "Raise your sword."

"Raise - sword - ah!!! Attack me!!!"

Yasuo roared angrily, looking at Riven who had never moved. He suddenly gritted his teeth and raised his hand to point the tip of his sword at the old man Asa who was watching all this in the corner. His expression was full of madness: "If you don't raise your sword, I will

Just...kill him!"
