Chapter 560: Tuan Cang

Original timeline, Hashirama Residence.

"Hahaha, hand over the money, I won again!"

A thick stack of silver notes was already piled in front of Hashirama, and his smile couldn't be stopped.

He truly is the reincarnation of a gambling god; yesterday was just a case of bad luck.

Did he not see today's gambling with Xiaogang? Has he never lost even once?

Now that the chips for a comeback are ready, we just wait for him to take Xiaogang to the casino tonight and wreak havoc!

Gangshou, unwilling, pulled out the last silver note from her bosom, and suddenly saw Grandfather's smile freeze again.

"Xiaogang, when I was young I really saw Lian Ye; he seemed to have beaten us up…"

"Grandfather, you're babbling again."

Gangshou was already upset about losing all her money, and Grandfather still made this not-at-all-funny joke with her.

"I'm not babbling; Lian Ye beat me, Feijian, Madara Uchiha and Quan Nai all at once!"

Hashirama recalled the memory in his mind and said seriously with a solemn expression.

"Did you not expect that Lian Ye has become so powerful now that he can easily defeat our younger selves?"

Gangshou obviously didn't believe it and said irritably, "Grandfather, I'm out of money; lend me some, and we'll continue!"

At the mention of gambling, Hashirama snapped back, smiling as he grabbed money from the table and handed it to Gangshou.

"Come, come, my luck is excellent right now!"

He needs to stabilize his situation with Gangshou, then at night take the money won from her to the casino for a comeback!

Gangshou wore a black line on her face, never expecting her luck to be so poor that she lost to Grandfather.

"No, I'll definitely turn it around!"

Elsewhere, inside the Laboratory.

"Lord Feijian, are you really all right?"

Orochimaru, watching Qianshou Feijian, sometimes covered his kidneys, other times clutched his face and gritted his teeth, utterly clueless about what had happened.

Why is Lord Feijian acting like this when everything should be fine?

Qianshou Feijian recalled the memories constantly surfacing in his mind, nearly losing his breath and fainting.

That bastard Lian Ye, how could he bully his younger self like this!

He grew up never having suffered such humiliation, yet he endured a great insult through his own adopted son.

Although he doesn't know why those memories appear, he can guarantee that all this is inseparable from Lian Ye and Tuan Cang's out-of-village trip!

The two surely used some method to return decades ago, and then Lian Ye, relying on his overwhelming power, bullied them before they had matured!

Most infuriating is that Lian Ye is on the same side as the innately evil Yuzhibo Quannai!

Quan Nai calls him Lian Yejun with every breath; seems their relationship is good.

The innately evil Yuzhibo Quannai, even after being dead for so many years, still clings to Lian Ye.

Both Uchiha brothers are relentless about Lian Ye; Madara Uchiha is like this, and Yuzhibo Quannai is the same!

"Good kid, I've noted this grudge; I hope when you return you can give me an explanation."

Qianshou Feijian's eyes flickered, the memories in his mind feeling as if he had lived them himself.

A fierce kick to the kidney, a slap across the face.

Even after all those years, the sense of humiliation feels as fresh as if just experienced.

Even now, he still feels the spot that was hit throbbing faintly…

Especially Lian Ye's harshness toward his younger self was surely intentional!

Oh right, that Tuan Cang kid!

He's been following Lian Ye all along; doesn't he know that kid is committing a great treason?

Why just watch, yet never step forward to stop him?!

When the two return from their trip, I'll definitely give them a profound lesson.

Moreover, how did they manage to appear in the Warring States Period and still affect his memories in real time?

Young Qianshou Feijian's memory of Lian Ye only stops at the moment Lian Ye and Tuan Cang left the Battlefield.

After that, there are no such memories.

No, when the two come back I'll first give them a good thrashing, then ask how they traversed to the Warring States Period!

Such a defying-the-heavens method, I'll definitely study it seriously.

Time‑space traversal can achieve many things, with countless benefits. Yet Lian Ye and Tuan Cang only use it for sightseeing—truly a waste of a precious gift.

"Lord Feijian, are you really all right?"

When Orochimaru saw Qianshou Feijian muttering endlessly, anyone might think his mind was troubled.

"It's fine, let's continue the experiment."

Orochimaru: "……"

Since there's nothing wrong, why do you keep covering your kidney and cheek?

Of course, he only dares to complain in his mind, not say it outright.

Lord Feijian's abnormal behavior must be linked to his revered Lian Ye Teacher.

And judging by his angry look, he may have caused trouble.

Hopefully, by then Lord Feijian will show mercy to his beloved Lian Ye Teacher.

If not, then never mind.

Compared with the tragic fate Lian Ye will face after returning, he'd rather finish the experiment at hand.

In the Warring States Period, Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang left the Battlefield and began aimlessly wandering the Ninja World.

"Lian Ye, is this really a parallel universe?"

All the way, Tuan Cang was burdened with worries, terribly afraid that the things he feared might actually be true.

In the end he could only speak up to ask Lian Ye, hoping to get a bit of comfort from his good brother.

"Of course it's a parallel universe; the timeline we belong to has already happened, and even if we change history here it won't have any effect."

Take, for example, the timeline they come from where Yuzhibo Quannai is already dead; even if he were to change the outcome of Yuzhibo Quannai's death here.

The other side cannot be resurrected either.

Because it cannot be directly altered, it is therefore a parallel universe.

At least that's how Lian Ye sees it, so he shared his speculation with his good brother.

Tuan Cang was taken aback, stunned by what he heard.

I never expected the guy who scored only five points in Cultural Class to speak so coherently.

Now I have no choice but to believe it.

Although Tuan Cang thought Lian Ye's words were questionable, since his good brother explained them personally.

What else does he have to say? Just believe it outright!

No wonder Lian Ye has always been brazen, even beating Teacher Feijian; it turns out he knows it won't affect the timeline they belong to!

But, has he ever considered what will happen to them in this timeline?

Given Lian Ye's intelligence, he probably wouldn't even contemplate such a problem…

Forget it, I'd better not say it and make him tangled up.

"Where are we going now?"

"I don't know, I'll just wander with you, and after some time we'll return."

"Alright."

The two began aimlessly drifting through the Ninja World, completely unaware that something in the shadows was following them.

"Damn, where on earth did this Uchiha with the Kaleidoscope Sharingan come from!"

Heijue looked utterly bewildered, fearing Lian Ye's appearance might interfere with its plan to resurrect its mother.

So ever since they left the Battlefield, it has been tailing them all the way here.
