Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 52·50 New Identity
Hearing Yuan Chen's inquiry, although Qiyana knew that Yuan Chen just asked the meaning of what Master Sem said in a different way, Qiyana unexpectedly did not feel any discomfort.

She could feel that Yuan Chen was actively lowering her posture to make herself feel a little better...or, a little more dignified.

Thinking about it, Qiyana clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Taking a deep breath, he said:

"Master Seum is the oldest sage in the Yun Tal... a sage, not a master. You need to know that."

Temporarily suppressing the throbbing in her heart, Qiyana said seriously:

"The reason why Yun Tal is noble is that when the world is facing endless chaos, the first generation of King Yu En turned Ixaocan's axioms into weapons and wiped out all the enemies who invaded Ixaocan. And thus blocked the borders of Ixtar."

"This makes Ixtar the only pure land in Runeterra in the chaotic era of Darkin Wars and Rune Wars."

"The sage is the title recognized at that time, and only Yun Tal who has made great and outstanding contributions to Ixtal is eligible to receive it."

"And Master Sem is the only sage in Ixaocan in the past 300 years."

"My father, the king, and nearly one-third of Yun Tal are all students of Master Sem. Besides the students, there are countless Yun Tal who have received the favor and guidance of Master Sem...

Even if my father came, he would take the initiative to salute when facing Master Sem. "

Hearing the honor of Master Sem, Yuan Chen's eyes were also a little more thoughtful - he knew that Master Sem's status was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so extraordinary.

In such a population, even a casual comment will change a person's life.

Immediately afterwards, Qiyana crossed her arms, biting her nails unwillingly and said: "In the eyes of the Yun Tals... or in the eyes of Master Sem, truth, wisdom, and knowledge are more important than blood and knowledge." Identity is more important."

"Master Seum's philosophy has greatly influenced the relationship between the Yun Tals."

"Simply put, a disciple of Yun Tal who passed the Vidalian test and became the new Yun Tal, then the moment he put on the Vidalian robe, he will automatically break the relationship with the teacher. Relationship."

"There is no distinction between master and apprentice, but elemental masters who have achieved different achievements in the same field."

"..." Hearing this, just thinking about it briefly, Yuan Chen's eyes showed a touch of surprise: "That's really... admirable."

Ionia attaches great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice.Disobedience to the master may not be considered a big deal in Noxus, after all, the culture where strength is respected and superiority prevails.But in Ionia, which advocates peace, disobedience to the master can be said to be a crime that cannot be punished.

Once a person's behavior of disobedience and attack on the master is spread, then this person is equivalent to dying in the Ionian Society.

Not only are people spurned, even the spirit of Ionia will no longer protect it.

Under such circumstances, the final choice of many rebels is either to practice atonement, or to go into self-exile, go to Valoran continent or find a hidden valley to live in seclusion.

As for Master Sem's behavior, it is not others who are most affected by this behavior, but him...

In the special environment of Ixtal, the weakening of the master-student relationship between Yuntal will further reduce the formation of internal friction organizations such as school lords and parties, thus to a certain extent avoiding the long-term struggle of Ixtar. Isolationism loses the progressive nature of self-reflection.

But Master Sem can not do this at all... because if there really are school lords and parties in the Yun Tal class, then Master Sem must be the leader of this party.

Mastering all the scholars and other ruling classes under the royal power, even King Yuen can only bow his head in the face of Master Sem.

But first, Master Sem took the initiative to reduce the number of students...

Wait, if that's the case, doesn't his last sentence mean...

"That's right, he doesn't want you to join the fight for crown prince."

Noticing the change in Yuan Chen's expression, Qiyana said unwillingly: "That old man... must have thought that I forced you to become my vassal! Damn it, I didn't force you, obviously you are looking out for yourself What are my subjects!"

After finishing speaking, there was a pause, Qiyana pursed her lips, and said with a strange and unnatural expression: "...Thank you."

Regarding this, Yuan Chen just lowered his head in thought, as if he didn't hear Qiyana's words.And Yuan Chen's reaction made Qiyana breathe a sigh of relief and relax her tense body - for a little girl like her, asking her to bow her head in thanks is simply torture.

But Yuan Chen just thought quietly.Perhaps it was because the thanks just now made Qiyana push herself to the limit, so Qiyana was not in a hurry, just sat on the bed to calm down quietly.

"If this is the case, then I can no longer act as a subject."

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Qiyana's brows trembled, but after a while, Qiyana just snorted coldly:
"It doesn't matter, "Master from Ionia", this name is much louder than being my subject."

"Well... the status of a subject can no longer be used."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen also nodded, but in the process of thinking, Yuan Chen didn't notice Qiyana's trembling eyebrows.But after deliberating for a moment in the weird deadlock, he said:
"Master Sem's status is extraordinary. If we still maintain the superficial subordination relationship after he made the proposal, then you will cause the Yun Tal class... no, it may even be the alienation of the elemental mage class."

Hearing Yuan Chen's thoughts, Qiyana hesitated for a moment and said, "You were just... thinking about this?"

"Well, I think we need to change to a new identity."

Looking at Yuan Chen's serious face, Qiyana's expression was a little weird, but after a long silence, she just hummed and said in a low voice:
"What new identity can you have... It's not like you haven't seen the attitude of those Yun Tal. Without me, you can stay here like a fish in water."

There was a bit of sourness in Qiyana's voice.

What should I say?It was as if something that only I knew was suddenly discovered by others, and even about to be taken away.This feeling of déjà vu, this feeling of finally getting what she longed for but about to lose it made her feel deeply unwilling.

"Master and apprentice."

Yuan Chen said with some consideration: "How about this identity?"

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Qiyana didn't answer, but froze on the bed.After a while, his neck was raised one by one, and he looked at Yuan Chen with a face full of shock, as if he couldn't believe what his ears heard.

And after seeing Yuan Chen's earnest questioning expression, and after confirming that he did not mishear, Qiyana said with an unbelievable expression:

"Master? Apprentice? You want to be my teacher? What are you kidding? I am Qiyana! Yun'alai of Ixtar!"

"Does the law of Ixtar stipulate that Yun'alai cannot have a teacher? Or does it mean that no one other than Ixtar can be a teacher?"

"This is not a question of whether the law stipulates, but the overall system of Ixtar!" Qiyana also said seriously:
"In the past thousand years, Yun Alai has never had a teacher who is a scholar other than Yun Tal... let alone an outsider other than Ixtal."

"Whoever stipulates that I cannot be an Ixtarian."

Hearing Qiyana's words, Yuan Chen shrugged his shoulders: "It shouldn't be difficult to be an honorary Yixutaer, right?"

"It's not difficult, right?" Qiyana said with an unreasonable face: "In the past few thousand years, outsiders who have been honored as Xutar people can't even make up a palm... Wait, you says……"

"uh-huh."

Yuan Chen nodded: "Element Festival."

Hearing this, Qiyana was once again lost in thought, her brows were tightly knitted on her pretty face, her eyes were full of solemnity, she was biting her nails, and finally rubbed her temples anxiously.

But in the end, Qiyana could only say in a complicated way:

"It is indeed possible to realize..."

"So you agree?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Yuan Chen's inquiry, Qiyana was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Are you asking me?"

"Otherwise?" Yuan Chen said as a matter of course: "If we are masters and apprentices, then no matter in the eyes of the world or in the traditional thinking, we are no longer a relationship of benefit exchange."

"...Then will you still go?" After a moment of silence, Qiyana said, "Leave Ixtar and head west."

"of course."

Yuan Chen nodded and said: "If you want to go west, you need to open the curtain ceremony of Ixtar, and if you want to open the curtain ceremony, you need a new crown prince who is determined to innovate - there is no doubt that you are the most suitable one .”

"If you are not at ease, we can make a mandatory magic contract."

Hearing that Yuan Chen would still leave Ixtar, Qiyana was also relieved—this at least meant that Yuan Chen didn't do it deliberately, and wanted to get involved in Ixtar through his own hands.

But after breathing a sigh of relief, Qiyana felt that her heart was full of unspeakable complexity.

Qiyana didn't know how to deal with this unprecedented weird feeling for a while, and in the end she just snorted softly: "Forget about forcing the contract, just remember it."

"But don't want me to call you teacher!" Qiyana added unwillingly: "Don't even think about it!"

"Okay, okay, I got it." Seeing Qiyana who was a little furious, Yuan Chen hurriedly said: "As long as others know, you can still treat me as your exclusive servant."

This made Qiyana not know what to say for a while, so she turned around and lay down on the bed and chased people away: "I'm going to bed!"

Yuan Chen got up without saying a word and went to the living room.

Someone in the room kicked his legs unwillingly.

—Poor Tom was played with applause.
