Chapter 553: Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's Speculation

"I'm sorry, Quan Nai, I really did my best."

Lian Ye, after a period of attempts, discovered that the clan members he saved would soon die.

In the end, he realized he was powerless to change any of it.

Fortunately, he never entertained the idea of altering history; he always regarded himself as a traveler who arrived in this timeline.

"Not planning to try again?" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang asked softly, seeing Lian Ye sitting in the tree.

He had long said that good brothers cannot change history, but Lian Ye only said he wanted to try again.

Yet why could Lian Ye intervene in so many matters the last time he crossed into another timeline?

Although Zhi Cun Tuan Cang didn't know the events of the original timeline, he could guess that Lian Ye's actions had, to some extent, altered that timeline's history.

For example, in that timeline, he would have been killed by Sasuke Uchiha while attending the Five Kage Summit.

It was only because of their arrival that the immediate death outcome was changed.

Guoying Neng would later be killed by Sasuke Uchiha, but that also extended his life to some degree.

But the Uchiha Clan's members Lian Ye saved died quickly on the Battlefield.

Why could good brothers intervene in the previous timeline yet not directly intervene in this one?

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang couldn't help but feel a bad premonition.

Unless...

"Lian Ye, perhaps you shouldn't keep bullying Teacher Feijian."

If his conjecture is correct, Lian Ye is bound to get into serious trouble, and it could also implicate him.

Lian Ye, perched in the tree, was watching Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama's idle battle when he suddenly heard his good brother's words and felt a bit bewildered.

"Why?"

He barely made it to this timeline, so he definitely intends to bully that old kid Qianshou Feijian.

Otherwise, what's the point of coming here?

Seems Tuan Cang is still worried about changing history!

"Don't worry, we only travel through parallel timelines, nothing will go wrong."

Lian Ye could only reassure Tuan Cang, urging him to relax.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang watched Lian Ye's confident demeanor, and his doubts gradually faded.

Is it really like that?

Never mind, trust the good brother's judgment!

"Madara, that person sitting in the tree is so strong—are they your clan member?"

Senju Hashirama noticed Lian Ye constantly staring at their battle, making him feel a bit uneasy.

Being observed by a strong opponent while idly fighting on the Battlefield might have a negative impact...

"He's a helper my father recruited to deal with the Senju; you should be careful on the Battlefield," Madara Uchiha did not deny.

He learned the whole story from Quan Nai and was very interested in this powerful clan member touring the Ninja World.

He just hadn't seen him make a move, seeming uninterested in fighting and killing.

But that also relieved him.

If Lian Ye were to indiscriminately slay Senju Clan members on the Battlefield, that guy Qianshou Feijian would surely bring troops there.

And his younger brother Quan Nai, upon learning the news, would also come to the Battlefield to support.

By then, he and Hashirama would no longer be so leisurely.

"I understand," Senju Hashirama said gravely, nodding.

He sensed a very dangerous aura from Lian Ye, but detected no malice.

Although he felt no malice from Lian Ye, that doesn't mean he can ignore this guy's presence.

He can idle with Madara on the Battlefield, but must ensure the safety of the Senju Clan members.

If Lian Ye ever began to slaughter clan members indiscriminately, he would certainly rush to stop him.

After all, he's still a junior clan head of the Senju Clan!

Their fight continued, but without the earlier atmosphere, as Lian Ye's appearance made both of them preoccupied.

"Do we still have to stay on the Battlefield?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's speculation hadn't fully vanished; instead, the uneasy feeling grew stronger.

He always felt that his good brother was heading further down a self‑destructive path...

Lian Ye waved his hand and patiently explained, "Don't rush; I sense Qianshou Feijian is coming."

Given his knowledge of that old kid Qianshou Feijian, a powerful Uchiha suddenly appeared on the front line.

He will definitely lead people himself to investigate!

Rather than Lian Ye sneaking into the Senju camp to look for someone, it'd be better to let that old kid come looking for him himself.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "..."

He didn't know why, but he always felt they were going to be doomed.

Sometimes intuition is quite accurate, but he didn't voice it, dampening his good brother's enthusiasm.

Hopefully it's not as he guessed.

At worst, he and Lian Ye would both perish...

Lian Ye didn't notice Tuan Cang's uneasy expression, hoping that this timeline's Qianshou Feijian would arrive quickly.

He wants to give the other a memorable lesson!

Heh heh heh, the innately evil Qianshou Feijian, you let me be your experiment.

Now I can finally take revenge!

How could Lian Ye, who always holds grudges, possibly forget the incident where Feijian secretly drugged him and used him for an experiment?

Back then, he only had a few arguments with Da Ye Mu, yet he has remembered them for so many years.

Let alone the matter of human experimentation.

It's only because over these years of interacting with Thousand Hand Feijian that the two have already built a deep emotional foundation.

So he hasn't erupted…

After all, adults aren't children; before acting impulsively they always weigh the pros and cons.

Who has let them spend day and night together for so many years?

Besides, that old kid's experiments aren't without benefits to him.

That matter passed just like that.

Of course, but only for Thousand Hand Feijian…

If it were anyone else, they'd have been torn to pieces long ago.

Fortunately, although in Lian Ye's timeline there is no chance for revenge, in this parallel timeline he can beat Thousand Hand Feijian without restraint to vent his anger.

Consider it vengeance for the human experiments back then.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang saw his good brother's excited expression and silently sighed in his heart.

If his speculation is true, and his good brother acts like this, they will certainly have terrible bad luck.

But before that, the one to have bad luck first must be the young Teacher Feijian.

No one could have imagined that the Uchiha Xiao Gui adopted by Teacher Feijian would grow up, travel through time to his own youth, and then brutally beat him up, right?

At this moment, Thousand Hand Feijian, who is rushing toward the Battlefield, feels an increasingly strong sense of unease.

He inexplicably feels that the Uchiha appearing on the Battlefield is coming straight at him.

…

Lian Ye's timeline: Hashirama Residence.

"Hahaha, Xiaogang, I won!"

Senju Hashirama lifted the dice cup, discovered his own number was higher, and immediately burst into an excited, skyward laugh.

"Sure enough, my gambling skill is superior, give me the money, give me the money!"

Last night at the casino I lost everything, not even a pair of underwear left, but I didn't expect to find a sense of superiority today at my granddaughter's place.

It seems his gambling skill remains as strong as ever, indicating that yesterday was merely a case of bad luck.

Tonight I must go back to the casino and win back all the money I lost!

Gangshou, with a dark face, reluctantly slapped the money onto the table.

At that moment, she suddenly noticed that Grandfather's smile vanished, replaced by bewilderment and confusion.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"
