Re-entry into the Soul Blossom

In the early morning, at the Lian Hua Gang stronghold, Li Ke grabbed a cup with some water and his toothbrush, then walked outside the tent.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Vi squatting in a corner.

After a moment's thought, Li Ke walked over and stood beside Vi.

Putting the toothbrush with a bit of toothpaste into his mouth, Li Ke spoke.

"Vi, how did you sleep last night?"

Vi turned around and saw it was Li Ke. She was also brushing her teeth. She first spat out the foam in her mouth, then nodded and said, "It was okay. Much better than in prison."

"Did Jinx talk to you?" Li Ke asked again.

Vi heard him, reached out, and rubbed her pink hair. "No, after she came out of your tent this morning, she took that little girl and went somewhere. I don't know where."

"Her name is Isha. She's a very cute girl," Li Ke said immediately.

Vi, on the other hand, took a mouthful of water and began to rinse her mouth, gargling. After spitting it out, she wiped her mouth and looked at Li Ke. "Li Ke, you know that's not what I want to ask."

"We grew up together. I won't beat around the bush with you. What exactly is going on between you and Jinx? Did you sleep together?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Isha there too?" Li Ke's mouth twitched slightly.

He said Isha was there, but Li Ke's words lacked confidence.

Because when they slept last night, Jinx had rested her leg on Li Ke's body. Although she hadn't explicitly shown it, seeing Vi again and being able to talk to her had eased their estrangement. While it hadn't completely disappeared, it was enough to make Jinx happy.

Her mood was excellent, and her sleeping posture naturally became very poor.

With a sense of security, she was practically ready to punch in her dreams!

But this matter was very complicated!

Yes, Jinx and I did sleep together, and not just once or twice. But the problem is, I, Li Ke, didn't do anything!

We were just sleeping!

But if he said this to Vi, would Vi believe him?

"Oh, my sister and you are just sleeping together, don't overthink it. We just slept, we didn't do anything."

It would be strange if Vi didn't just punch him directly!

Li Ke could naturally defeat Vi now, because Vi didn't have the Hextech Gauntlet yet. But the problem was that Li Ke wasn't in the right on this matter.

No matter when, where, or in what era this was said, it would be incredibly explosive!

"Heh, do I look like a virgin?" Vi raised an eyebrow. "Even if you did something, I wouldn't say anything. You saw her attitude towards me."

"Heh, we didn't do anything anyway." Li Ke also squatted down, leaning against Vi as he brushed his teeth.

Playing games, trying to catch us red-handed?

You really are worthy of being the future Enforcer of Piltover, aren't you.

Vi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Li Ke, what are you planning to do about Caitlyn?"

"Li Ke, Caitlyn is a good person. She, she's different from other people in Piltover, from the Enforcers."

"Of course, I'll send her back to the Upper City. She'll only get in our way here."

"Our?" Vi blinked.

"What else?" Li Ke looked at Vi and continued, "Are you planning to go back to the Upper City with Caitlyn? If you really go back to the Upper City with her, Jinx will go to the Upper City that very night and blow you both to death. Do you believe me?"

"I'm going to be with my sister! And, her name is Powder, not Jinx," Vi said loudly. Then, she whispered, "But if I really leave with Caitlyn, will she really blow me to death?"

"She has some issues here. To get better, it will take time and medicine." Li Ke pointed to his head. "We have time, but there's only one medicine, and that's you. Vi, you are her medicine. If you leave without saying goodbye again, she'll really go mad this time."

"."

"I already said, I want to be with her. I, I'm just worried about Caitlyn," Vi sighed.

After meeting Powder last night, Vi could see that Powder's mental state was abnormal. She was manic, talking to herself, and seemed very erratic.

"You weren't like this before. When we were kids, you used to say that people in Piltover were all bastards and deserved to die. You said you'd become someone important one day and make those Skinny Guys pay. But what's wrong with you now?" Li Ke said with a chuckle.

Vi rolled her eyes. "I still have the same attitude, but not every person in Piltover is a bastard. Caitlyn is a good person, and good people shouldn't be bullied."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her. She's the eldest daughter of the Giramann Family. If anything happens to her, even Silco couldn't handle it."

"Giramann?" Vi was shocked. "She's the daughter of that Councilor?"

"Genuine article. She's the next heir to the Giramann Family," Li Ke nodded.

"Li Ke, speaking of Silco, what are you planning to do? He's looking for me, and he's looking for Powder too."

"Mmm, leave this to me. I'll handle it when the time comes."

"If you're going after him, count me in. Thanks to him, Powder became like this," Vi's expression turned fierce.

Looking at Vi, Li Ke spat out the foam in his mouth and suddenly asked, "What about you?"

"Vi, don't you feel wronged? You haven't suffered any less than Powder over the years, have you?" Li Ke corrected himself.

He didn't really care if Jinx was Jinx or Powder. What Li Ke cared about now was her as a person.

In front of Vi, it was better to call her Powder, so Vi wouldn't always emphasize it.

Vi paused, then her eyes reddened. But she gave a carefree laugh and said indifferently, "What hardship is there? Prison just has bad food and bad sleep, it's nothing. Besides, I'm the older sister."

Li Ke smiled, reached out, and patted Vi's shoulder. Then he stood up and extended his hand to Vi. "Welcome to the team, Vi."

Vi reached out and shook Li Ke's hand.

Li Ke exerted force and pulled Vi up.

Back in the tent, Jinx and Isha hadn't returned yet. They hadn't gone far. Vander said they went scavenging early in the morning, near the Lian Hua Gang's Junkyard, so there was no need to worry about them.

Speaking of which, Jinx taking Isha out early this morning and deliberately walking past Vi, was that a tsundere move?

Was she trying to make Vi jealous and angry?

But she was only tsundere, damn it.

Lying on the sleeping mat, Li Ke carefully considered Vi's words.

Silco was indeed a big problem. Although Li Ke preferred Vander, partly due to the influence of his original body's memories, and naturally had a better impression of Vander, the "old father" of Black Alley, Li Ke had to admit that Silco was also right.

Silco and Vander had different philosophies, but their ultimate goal was for Zaun to rise up and become better.

Kill Silco?

No. If Silco truly died, Zaun would only become more chaotic. Don't look at Zaun now, a place unfit for humans, but if Silco died, with no one to suppress the Alchemical Barons and unite them, Zaun would only descend into constant civil war.

Silco was a talent. In terms of management and development, he far surpassed Vander. There was no one else like Silco in all of Zaun. Li Ke didn't think he could manage a city himself, so...

What should he do?

"In the end, it's still a lack of power."

Li Ke reached out towards the tent ceiling, then closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, Li Ke had appeared in the Soul Blossom space.

Looking at the Energy Bar, he saw that during this time, Li Ke had successfully accumulated one Advent opportunity.

Including the unused ones from before, he now had two Advent opportunities.

"Damn, Thresh probably isn't guarding me anymore, right?"

Thinking this, Li Ke reached out and touched the Soul Blossom's light screen.

He opened his mouth and whispered:

"Advent."
