Chapter 335: Lian Ye Is a Good Teacher

"Is this how you Konoha protect me?"

The employer was retrieved by Lian Ye and a few others, and the fat on his body trembled nonstop with anger.

He thought the Team Leader Jonin had disappeared and three Genin had been killed.

He ran out for several kilometers in one breath; in his whole life this was the first time he felt so exhausted.

It turned out the mountain bandits had been slain, so his running that far was in vain; it would be strange not to be angry.

He plans to go back and post a portrait of the Lian Ye Squad, so that everyone who knows them will not hire them.

The service attitude is extremely poor, giving no sense of safety.

Especially that Team Leader Jonin, who stayed invisible the whole time and no one knows where he went.

Bad review, it must be a bad review!

"Sorry, boss, this time the payment is at % Discount for you." Lian Ye forced a smile.

These days money is hard to earn and food is hard to swallow; even ninja face great employment pressure.

Sometimes you still have to put on a smile, as it concerns the Village's reputation.

Mainly because he was busy handling the mountain bandits, he didn't notice the employer had fled.

Orochimaru and the two others lowered their heads and said nothing.

If they had cooperated earlier, this situation wouldn't have arisen.

"Hmph, who does the % Discount look down on?" the employer sneered coldly: "You made me run that far; at least give me a 98% discount!"

"No problem, boss!" Lian Ye agreed without hesitation.

The employer, seeing him agree so readily, realized he was still short of something.

But he didn't bother to agonize; after all, he had already decided on the bad review.

No amount of money will help!

At this moment Lian Ye had not yet realized that his squad's reputation was about to become rotten.

"Boss, let's set off quickly!" Lian Ye said with a smile: "We'll arrive at the mission site any moment now."

Since Gangshou and the two others have gained experience, there's no need to waste time here.

After a quick bandage, they set off again.

Having completed the mission, he can return to the Village to rest.

They lost quite a bit of time along the way.

The squad's monthly mission quota is fixed; as long as they meet the minimum standard, they can rest.

Of course, if they're short of money they can still take missions.

Lian Ye plans to spend the remaining half‑month lounging, while Gangshou and the two others can take D-rank Missions in the Village.

They can meet the quota and earn money.

The key is there's no danger, so he doesn't need to stay by their side for long.

After all, tasks like weeding, cleaning trash, playing with dogs, catching cats, watching children—what danger could those have?

It's merely providing employment positions for freshly graduated Genin.

After all, they lack the strength for C-rank Missions and can only rely on D-rank Missions to make a living.

Not everyone is a genius; most people spend their whole lives as Chunin.

Those lacking talent can only remain Genin for life.

Jonin remain a minority.

Statistically, they're probably only one‑thirtieth of the number of Chunin.

D-rank and C-rank Missions are intended for freshly graduated Genin and for ninjas without talent.

"Boss, our mission is complete."

Without anyone causing trouble, they smoothly delivered the employer to the destination.

"Hmm, here's your mission payment." The employer took out a money pouch for Lian Ye, "As for any discount, forget it."

The 98% discount is basically useless.

Moreover, he still has to warn acquaintances about the Lian Ye Squad.

Taking another discount would be bad.

How can he honestly promote Lian Ye's irresponsible behavior to friends like this?

"Haha, generous boss." Lian Ye laughed as he took the money pouch, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Phew, finally done." Zilaoye let out a long sigh, fearing that more powerful mountain bandits might appear on the road.

His injuries were the worst among the three; if they met another enemy, he would only hold his companions back.

"Idiot, you were so reckless." Gangshou muttered.

"I know I was wrong; I won't repeat it next time." Zilaoye replied weakly.

Who could have known the mountain bandits that surged out midway would be that strong?

Normally, such remote places wouldn't have mountain bandits, and even if they did, they'd be ordinary people, right!

Fortunately, they learned a lesson from the trap, and will no longer be careless in the future.

"Our enemies this time were indeed very powerful." Orochimaru's eyes flickered.

He didn't know why, but he always felt someone was targeting them from behind…

With that thought, he instinctively looked at Lian Ye at the front of the line; his gut told him this matter was inseparable from Lian Ye Teacher.

Because those two mountain bandits held back at the last moment, as if they were being controlled.

Otherwise they wouldn't have just taken a few injuries!

"Orochimaru, what are you looking at?" Zilaoye asked curiously.

Orochimaru saw Zilaoye's dumb, blank stare and let out a helpless sigh.

"It's nothing."

Even if he said it, this idiot wouldn't understand, so it's better not to waste words.

Zilaoye, seeing this, scratched his head in confusion, wondering what kind of nonsense Orochimaru was up to now.

"It hurts to death!"

Because he scratched his head so vigorously, he accidentally tore the wound on his back, and the pain made him grit his teeth.

"Idiot."

"Moron."

Zilaoye: "……"

"You can split the money," Lian Ye tossed the money pouch to Orochimaru.

This time he didn't intend to withhold their payment; the amount is negligible for a Jonin.

Better to give it all to the three of them, and they can use it to treat their injuries.

Especially Zilaoye, whose earnings might not even cover the medical fees.

"Lian Ye Teacher, you don't want it?" Orochimaru stared blankly at the money pouch in his hand, his eyes full of surprise.

Is the sun rising in the west?

Lian Ye Teacher not only didn't withhold their payment, but gave it all to them!

"No need, you can split it yourselves," Lian Ye waved his hand.

Who made him beat them up like this? His share will count as compensation for the three people's medical expenses.

When someone harms others in secret, they feel guilty and make reparations.

"Yay!" Gangshou jumped up happily.

Uncle Lianye finally did something useful; with this money, he can go to the casino and try to turn his losses around!

She had earned ten thousand taels not long ago, but lost it all in the casino within minutes.

Finally, there's money to try to recoup at the casino!

"Lian Ye Teacher, you're so kind!" Zilaoye flashed a radiant smile, thinking he could have a feast at home tonight.

Hmm, and also buy some Kunai and Shuriken!

"Thank you, Lian Ye Teacher," Orochimaru clenched the money pouch, feeling deeply grateful.

A Civilian Ninja doesn't earn money easily; this sum will sustain him for a while.

"Ha ha, it's nothing," Lian Ye said amid the three's praise, gradually losing himself, "I treat my disciples very well."

Someone seems to have already forgotten the incident of commanding bandits to beat up a disciple...

"Thank you, Lian Ye Teacher/Uncle!" The three wore looks of being moved.

Lian Ye Teacher really is a good teacher.

They plan to repay Lian Ye properly for his care in the future!

If the three knew the truth, perhaps they wouldn't think that way.
