The furnishings of the house are still the same as before, to be precise, they are the same as they were after Balliard moved in. This lets Balliard know that he is still useful to him.

Jhin is an artist, a persistent artist, and the layout of his residence reflects his own ideas to a large extent. Balliard cannot see the hidden meaning of these layouts, but since these layouts have not changed, it means that

Jin's idea has not changed, and Valliard is still Jin's choice to star in the stage play.

There is also a wine glass on the table, which is wrapped in a very strong aura of Jhin's will. However, during the time he lived with Jhin, Balliard rarely saw Jhin drinking. According to Jhin, he also

I only drink alcohol when I'm socializing with senior officials.

In this case, why do these wine glasses still have such a heavy aura of Jhin's will? Because Jhin always carries these wine glasses with him, but this time, Jhin put the wine glasses here.

"Where have you been during this time? It's easy for me to find you."

Jin appeared silently behind Baliard, seemingly caring about Baliard, but Baliard could almost feel the burning anger.

"Didn't it say that in the letter? I was sealed, sealed with Brand. I spent a lot of effort to escape from the seal."

Balliard turned around, Jhin was still wearing a mask. He never showed his true face to others, even when facing His Majesty the Emperor of the Deno Empire, he did not take off his mask. This is more or less what he was called.

For the sake of being a jester, he wore a mask to impress the public and win the emperor's favor.

"You think I will believe it?"

A wine glass appeared in Jhin's hand, and with a flick of his thumb, it flew past Valyard's ear and penetrated the house.

Balliard now understood why Jhin, who did not drink, left such a strong aura of will on the wine glass. There were no guns in this era, and the wine glass was the weapon Jhin threw. Of course, Jhin could also choose other weapons, such as

Dagger, throwing knife or bow and arrow.

But for a killer who is best at hiding his identity and whereabouts, allowing others to infer who the murderer is based on the brutal art at the scene, the target of the bow and arrow is too big. After killing people, especially after killing those high-ranking officials,

If the whole city is under martial law, the probability of being searched and discovered using a bow and arrow is relatively high.

As for throwing away his weapons, if Jhin chooses to use a bow, he will not throw away his bow, just like a real swordsman never drops his sword. Giving up his bow or sword to escape is like a tiger being killed by a human.

When chasing, he bit off his own fingernails and broke his own teeth in the middle of the chase. It was just as stupid.

Weapons such as daggers and flying knives are even more impossible. Jhin is a jester, a royalist, and the most trusted person of Emperor Kayn of the Deno Empire. This is a figure who often goes to the palace to meet the saints.

Carrying a dagger and seeking death?

Even if Kayn wants to keep Jhin, Qingliu and the old guys from the traitorous party, they will not miss this opportunity. Bringing weapons into the palace is a sure sign of "treason".

Perhaps for these reasons, Jhin abandoned weapons that had too big a target and weapons that could not be brought into the palace. Anyway, for characters who have reached the ninth level, the damage the weapon itself can cause is no longer important.

, they basically rely on their own will attached to the weapon to cause damage.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Valyard continues to pretend to be crazy. Will Jhin believe this reason? Of course he won't believe it. As for the relationship between Wuying and Jhin, maybe after Jhin pays some price, Wuying will put Valyard and Brand together.

The result of the final battle was told to Jin. One was ranked first as a killer, and the other was ranked second as a killer. They were living in the same house harmoniously before. How could these two not have some PY transactions?

"What is the purpose of your coming back this time?"

Jhin values ​​Balliard very much, not only because Balliard is his disciple, but also because Balliard is a natural Taoist. In Jhin's eyes, he is a "beautiful jade that needs to be carved". Looking at this world, he is qualified.

He is the only one who carves this piece of beautiful jade. Others will only use those indifferent moral concepts to bind the brilliance of this piece of beautiful jade.

"Look what you want to do. A god told me that there were dark clouds representing 'disaster' over the imperial capital. You taught me all my knowledge of literature and art. I think you understand what I mean?"

Valliard did not hide his purpose of coming, and Jhin would not hurt him, at least not yet. How could a big drama that was about to begin lose its most important audience and starring role?

"You want to stop me? No help?"

It's not that Jhin looks down on Baliard, but that Baliard's natural Taoism somehow keeps his strength from improving. Even if he has some powerful means, his realm is there. What kind of threat can it pose to him?

Even the fight with Brand was just a trick. If they were to fight head-on, Wuying told him that Balliard could only rely on his own special characteristics to get beaten.

"Originally, I could have a helper, but if I asked that person to be my helper, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to talk to you so much, and the fight would have started long ago."

Balliard does not deny the power of Li Qing. After all, he is a human being who can use the most powerful dragon spirit in Ionia. That dragon, according to Balliard's understanding, should be a great imprisoned person.

Will is a being with only divinity, and Li Qing was chosen by it to be his human nature.

However, compared with other great wills, this dragon spirit communicates with Li Qing in a posture close to its own body, so that Li Qing blinded his eyes just by seeing the full picture of the dragon spirit, even if it was extraordinary.

The person's resilience cannot be restored, because after seeing the great existence that cannot be seen directly, Li Qing's vision was conceptually erased.

In short, this is a blind man. While losing his eyesight, his other senses are extremely sensitive. Balliard cannot detect Jhin's approach, but Li Qing will definitely be able to find Jhin's location before Jhin approaches and start fighting.

One is a reckless blind man, the other is a crazy artist. If these two people fight, Balliard doesn't think he can make them stop.

"What else do you want to talk about? Do you think your words can make me change my mind?"

Another wine glass appeared in Jhin's hand. The first time he touched it was because he was not sure what Balliard's purpose was, but he was very angry at Balliard's silent disappearance, so he tried to scare Balliard.

action.

And this time, it is to confirm that Valliard

After the purpose of coming here, he made preparations for battle in advance just in case. Of course, it can also be seen as him threatening Valliard.

"Well...of course it's not possible. Teacher, how could someone as determined as you be moved by my words? However, I'm curious, how could a teacher who had never detonated that place suddenly become one?

Such thoughts?"

The cloud of disaster has clearly stated who wants to do something in the imperial capital. After knowing this information, Balliard still chose to come here to communicate with Jhin. It was obviously not to confirm the authenticity of the news.

,

"Can you tell me who contacted the teacher? Or is it someone else?"

"There are a lot of questions you want to know, but are you too naive? Do you think I will tell you these things honestly?"

Jhin stretched out his head, and the strange mask almost stuck to Valyard's face.

"Even if you don't tell me, I probably know who is behind it, but why did you agree to it?"

Balliard knew that the void in this world line had begun to play his own conspiracy again. Compared with the previous plan to use Brand to break Ryze's seal, this time, it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the internal conflicts in Runeterra to do something.

.

"They gave me a stage to watch art being performed. Why wouldn't I cooperate with them?"

If Jhin's words mean something, as Jhin's disciple, Balliard's voice can still be heard.

"Who do you value? Who do they recommend to you?"

In fact, Balliard has already made some guesses. In a big drama that can make Jhin betray Runeterra and side with the Void, who else can be the protagonist in this time period?

It's just those guys from Ionia.

"You used to learn swordsmanship at Wuji Gym, right? Then did you know that you have a junior brother named Yi?"

Jhin didn't hide anything. There was no need to hide it at all. He wanted to perform and plan the script. If there was no audience, how could he show off his talent?

Valliard is the protagonist of another of his plays. If you can watch another of his plays as an audience, or even actively participate in it, wouldn't this play be more interesting?

"His changes were caused by you?"

Balliard should have thought long ago that the agent was arranged by Huzhen, and the information he knew was basically provided by Huzhen, and Huzhen was a subordinate of Jin. Although he seemed to have some identity before, Dolan

He protects his disciples so well, but ordinary people cannot obtain their information or even exert influence on them.

Therefore, it is most likely that Jin provided the real information about Hu Hu. It seems that Jin already knew the information about Yi. Yi's obsession may have something to do with Jin.

"My hands and feet? What hands and feet do I need to use? Yi is a swordsman. How can a swordsman be easily influenced by others? The most I can do is let him influence me."

Jhin admitted it. As Baliard's teacher, how could he not discover Baliard's emotional problems? Even from Jhin's perspective, Baliard didn't look like a human being.

They are human beings with their own feelings.

Such a guy would not be angry even if the person being plotted against was his junior brother. Jhin didn't even think that Balliard had the emotion of anger.

Therefore, even if he spoke out, Balliard would not take action in anger because of this matter.

"how did you do it?"

Just as Jhin thought, Balliard was not angry. He didn't have emotions, so how could he be angry? His usual behavior was just what he "should" do based on other people's perceptions.

performance.

However, in this world line, he does not have enough "other people's senses" to support his decision-making. Therefore, when encountering a problem, Balliard will decide what he should do based on his own rational thinking.

What kind of performance to deal with.

Now, instead of being dissatisfied with Yi's experience and attacking Jhin, Balliard was more curious about how Jhin made Yi change himself.

"In the two years after you disappeared, Yi was traveling around the outside world. At that time, the entire court was under my control. Is it difficult for me to spread some rumors in places where Yi may pass by?"

Jhin begins to explain his behavior. In this world line, Jhin will also explain his behavior to Valyard. He is an artist and will only take the initiative to show the beauty of his art to those who can understand his art.

Balliard is the person he values. As a person, there is no emotion. Such a person is simply born for "art".

"Just rumors can't affect the swordsman."

Balliard knew that this was only the first step. Swordsmen could indeed feel other people's feelings towards them, so they could distinguish between good and evil and make the most appropriate decision. However, as soon as rumors were spread, they would be destroyed.

The common people talked a lot. At that time, Yi was a young hero at the peak of his mastership. When walking on the road, it was inevitable that he would hear these discussions.

Are these discussions malicious towards him? How could it be possible? Ordinary people chatting about household matters and arranging dragon gate formations, how could they be directed at a person whom they have never met and never heard of?

Yi accepted this information more or less without distinction. However, Yi is not a machine for receiving information. Even if he hears the information, he will think about it on his own to "classify" the information and remember it usefully.
To be continued...
