396: If all this is true

He brought her here, and naturally, he also had the ability to send her away.

“What?”

Xu Lian stared at KaiSa and asked, “What if I send you back to Runeterra instead of the Void? Would you accept that?”

Xu Lian knew what KaiSa was thinking.

He understood what kind of place the Void was, so when faced with KaiSa’s question, he could completely comprehend her current state of mind.

After all, who would want to return to a place like that?

Unless absolutely necessary, no one would choose to stay there.

Hearing Xu Lian’s words, KaiSa fell silent for a moment.

She had never actually considered this question—whether she was unwilling to return to the Void or unwilling to return to Runeterra.

Because in her subconscious, leaving Xu Lian’s side meant returning to that dark place—the Void—and not returning to Runeterra.

So KaiSa thought, she would still prefer to stay by Xu Lian’s side!

“Then…”

KaiSa hesitated, looking at Xu Lian somewhat shyly as she asked, “Can I really choose to go back to Runeterra instead of the Void?”

KaiSa was very clear about her true feelings.

It wasn’t because Xu Lian wasn’t good enough to her or was teasing her, but because she genuinely feared falling back into the terrible memories of the Void.

Now that she had received such a reply from Xu Lian, KaiSa’s heart truly yearned to return to her real home—Runeterra.

And she believed that if she ever needed to see Xu Lian again, he would definitely help her find a way!

In her mind, the current Xu Lian was almost omnipotent; as long as she wanted to return, he would surely find a way!

Therefore, for KaiSa, if there was an opportunity to return to Runeterra, it was clearly better than staying.

It was precisely because she understood this point that KaiSa bravely asked Xu Lian this question.

If all this was true, KaiSa indeed hoped to return to Runeterra!

“No problem, of course you can.”

Xu Lian did not hide anything and gave a direct, affirmative answer.

He knew KaiSa’s deepest wish.

Here, although KaiSa might feel momentary happiness, this was merely out of curiosity for new things in the outside world, and did not mean she truly loved this world.

If Xu Lian were in the same situation, he would have the same thoughts.

After all, this place was not her true home.

And Xu Lian would not force KaiSa to stay here.

Doing so would truly be meaningless.

“Thank you, Xu Lian.”

KaiSa flashed a brilliant smile and spontaneously hugged Xu Lian.

However, she quickly let go.

At this moment, KaiSa’s face was slightly flushed; after all, this was her first time hugging someone of the opposite sex, and it felt a bit strange.

Her heart was pounding; KaiSa couldn’t even imagine what would happen if there were any further physical contact!

KaiSa glanced at Xu Lian.

She noticed that Xu Lian didn’t have any particular reaction and wasn’t as nervous as she was.

This made her feel a little more at ease.

But there was still a hint of disappointment in her heart.

She started to overthink, always feeling that something wasn’t quite right, yet she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

“Let’s rest here today.”

Xu Lian looked at KaiSa and said with a smile, “Stay and play here for a few days; it won’t be too late to go back then.”

Xu Lian had no other intentions towards KaiSa.

He was just very curious about her.

As for everything happening now, Xu Lian felt there was nothing wrong with it.

KaiSa, on the other hand, was not as complex as he had imagined, more like a little girl’s mindset.

In the world background of the League of Legends game, after experiencing so many things, it was truly rare for KaiSa to still maintain this mindset.

Moreover, Xu Lian planned for KaiSa to be the next champion released in League of Legends, and he even wanted KaiSa herself to voice the champion.

At that time, the game character could be designed directly based on KaiSa’s own image.

It could be said that this would make it perfect.

With a real-life prototype, shaping the character became extremely simple.

“Okay.”

KaiSa pursed her lips and nodded.

She didn’t want to return to Runeterra just yet; she was full of curiosity about this new world and wanted to explore it thoroughly.

To see if she could discover some things she liked.

So when Xu Lian asked her to stay here for a longer period, KaiSa naturally wouldn’t refuse.

The next day.

Xu Lian arrived at Aoyou Tianxia Game Company early in the morning.

There were many new faces in the company, which surprised Xu Lian a bit.

At this moment, Qin Feixu appeared beside Xu Lian.

Xu Lian asked Qin Feixu, “What’s going on with all these people?”

Although Xu Lian usually didn’t pay much attention to these things, seeing so many new faces this time still made him a bit puzzled.

Qin Feixu looked at Xu Lian, her expression somewhat strange.

“President Xu, didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to recruit aggressively?”

Qin Feixu explained, “As soon as our company’s recruitment information was released, it attracted talents from all walks of life to apply.”

“The newly joined employees are all industry elites who joined our company on the very first day.”

“There are still many applicants waiting in line.”

Qin Feixu explained to Xu Lian.

Qin Feixu always completed the tasks Xu Lian assigned diligently, never perfunctorily.

Even with the company’s large-scale recruitment, Qin Feixu remained meticulous.

She would not relax her standards just because there were many people.

Qin Feixu put her heart and soul into completing every task Xu Lian entrusted to her.

Seeing the bewildered expression on Xu Lian’s face, Qin Feixu found it amusing.

Because Xu Lian rarely showed such an expression; it was truly uncommon.

“So that’s how it is.”

Xu Lian nodded, and after understanding the situation, he returned to his office.

He was quite surprised by Qin Feixu’s efficiency.

Xu Lian had initially only thought there were many unfamiliar faces in the company, not realizing that all these people had been recruited by Qin Feixu within a single day.

In reality, even more new employees had joined Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, which Xu Lian had not seen.

Watching Xu Lian’s departing figure, Qin Feixu had a happy expression.

She herself didn’t know why she was so happy after receiving Xu Lian’s approval.

Qin Feixu had always tried to understand this question but could never find the answer.

She tried her best not to overthink.

It was easier to control when Xu Lian wasn’t around, but once they met, her mood would fluctuate again.

Looking at Xu Lian’s receding back, Qin Feixu’s lips curved into a slight smile.

At this very moment.

In Xu Lian’s large villa.

KaiSa had just woken up, looking at everything before her with a bewildered expression.

The events of yesterday seemed both real and somewhat off to her.

KaiSa was startled awake.

She was afraid that everything was just her imagination, not something that had actually happened.

But what she saw upon waking told her that it was all real.

“Xu Lian!”

KaiSa walked out of the room and shouted loudly.
