Extra: The Kinkou Doctrine (3)
One is proud, the other insecure; these are two vulnerable emotions that, with a little manipulation, can create an artistic scene. 6̳9̳s̳h̳u̳x̳.̳c̳o̳m̳
Having obtained the information he wanted, Jhin decided to leave. He secretly used magic to break free of his restraints and then threw a smoke bomb.
"I have one more performance to participate in. Goodbye, lovely boys!"
"Damn it!" Jie was extremely annoyed.
Just as the smoke slowly dissipated, an unexpected scene unfolded: Jhin did not escape, but was captured by Alanta!
It turns out that Kusuo and Kennen were not at ease, so they sent Alanta to provide support. She didn't show herself along the way, only helping out when Jhin escaped.
Shen was overjoyed, because it meant the mission could be successfully completed. Alanta was the person he trusted most, like both Teacher and a mother.
Jie was frustrated. He wanted to complete the mission independently, rather than relying on others, especially Alanta. He didn't want her to see him embarrass himself.
It was at this moment that Zed discovered his feelings for Alanta were very complicated.
Alanta is his sister, the person he has always wanted to surpass, and someone he cares deeply about.
Just beginning to experience love, Jie didn't quite understand; he didn't yet know what love was.
Ultimately, Jin did not follow them to the Kinkou Order. He committed suicide on the way, destroying his own body in the process, otherwise being recognized by Kusuo would affect his future actions.
Now that they've destroyed the body to cover their tracks, all they can say is that they caught a masked man. As for the face beneath the mask, Kusuo they'll never see it again.
Nevertheless, Zed and Shen were successfully elected as the Guardians of the North and East, respectively, demonstrating strength and wisdom beyond their years and upholding the doctrine of balance.
Zed and Alanta are far apart, one in the north and one in the west, but that doesn't stop them from meeting. Whether they are doing missions or having a rare moment of free time, Zed will go to Alanta for a chat.
Most of the time, the two talked about missions, but occasionally they would share their innermost thoughts, such as Zed awkwardly expressing his love.
At first, Alanta just laughed at him a few times, but later she realized he was serious. This feeling wasn't familial, but romantic!
Despite her efficiency and skill in carrying out missions, Alanta was now caught in a moment of confusion, because she also liked Zed.
This feeling wasn't obvious in childhood; it might have just been a longing. But the fact that every reunion after a long separation makes one's heart flutter says it all.
For some reason, Alanta rejected Zed. She was clearly overjoyed, but what she said was a rejection.
Zed didn't give up, because he could clearly feel Alanta's heart racing and face flushed, indicating that she wasn't mentally prepared.
He expressed his love several more times afterward, and each time Alanta wanted to say yes, but in the end she always refused.
She shed tears alone many times because of this, and even stabbed herself until she was covered in wounds.
She didn't know why she was like this; she cherished this relationship Mingxin, yet she couldn't express it.
She loved Jie far more than she loved herself; she was willing to give her life for him, but she just couldn't express her love.
Zed's pride was once again thwarted. He had only suffered two setbacks in his life: once when Jhin escaped, and once when Alanta rejected him.
At this time, Noxus launched a war of aggression against Ionia and conquered large swathes of the western region in a short period of time.
As the guardian of the west, Alanta would certainly not stand idly by when he saw the devastation in his territory.
However, such an important matter required the abbot's permission, so she rushed back to Kinkou Monastery to request Kusuo send troops to rescue them.
I thought my master would go all out, at least to have the sect's experts participate in the battle, since Noxus had broken the balance. But to my surprise, he refused without even thinking about it.
He had clearly considered this issue beforehand and ultimately decided not to participate in the war.
Faced with the invasion of a formidable enemy, even the reclusive sects that rarely show themselves actively participated in the war, while the Kinkou Order, which has always been known for punishing evil and promoting good, remained inactive, which puzzled everyone.
Alanta didn't say much. She always did whatever her master said and never raised any objections, and this time was no exception.
Of course, outward compliance does not equate to inner obedience. When Noxus invaded the vicinity of the Sunon Temple, Alanta decided to lead his disciples to provide support.
Zed was also trying to persuade his father to join the war, saying that Ionia in such a great calamity and the Kinkou Order could not stand idly by, but no matter what he said, his Kusuo would not agree.
So what were the considerations behind this Kusuo?
In fact, he had long been prepared to participate in the war, but he was taken into custody before he could give the order.
He was not controlled by a human, but by an ancient demon Evelynn Evelyn.
Evelynn interfered with Kusuo's subconscious through special means, making him think about not participating in the war. Otherwise, everything was normal, so no one noticed this.
Later, when he heard that Alanta had also participated in the war and had disappeared after the Battle of Sunon, he desperately sought out Kusuo reason with him.
At this moment, Shin also rushed back, wanting to persuade his father together, which gave Jin the perfect opportunity.
Fearing he was not strong enough to control Kusuo, he asked Evelynn to help him create a binding magic circle and an explosion spell.
At the moment when Zed and Kusuo were arguing over their certificates, Jhin cast a spell. In the end, Kusuo was killed while protecting Zed, which was witnessed by Shen. The two brothers became enemies from then on.
There was no time for sorrow, for the war was far from over. After searching everywhere for Alanta to no avail, he gathered a group of disciples willing to fight and threw himself into the war.
In the final battle at Prexian, the young Shepherd Irelia displayed leadership, using her ancestral blade to wound Noxus commander Swain, securing the victory.
After the war, Zed prepared to return to the Kinkou Order to explain the matter to Shen, but Shen refused to listen to any explanations and vowed to avenge his father.
In fact, Shen had long been dissatisfied with Zed; his father's death was merely the trigger. Why would he listen to Zed's explanation?
Of course, Jhin also played a role in fueling this situation.
Since learning about the two brothers' situation, he hasn't been idle for a moment. Instead, he secretly went to Shen's residence and slowly influenced him with the Dark Power.
Normally, this kind of influence wouldn't have much effect, but it's a different story for Shin, who is filled with negative emotions.
His resentment grew deeper and deeper, eventually turning him into a wild horse after his sister disappeared and his father died.
Filled with resentment, Jie simply left the Kinkou Order. There was nothing or no one there that he felt attached to; he would protect his own balance according to his own heart.
Become a moving shadow, silently and violently eradicating all evil.
