Chapter 584: Lian Ye's Brilliant Pocket Strategy

Qianshou Feijian saw Lian Ye's hardline attitude and sighed silently.

"Fine, as long as you're happy."

If this kid simply refuses to marry, that's that.

After all, forced marriages aren't sweet; he himself was once pressured into marriage by his elder sister‑in‑law, so he naturally doesn't want to be the meddling elder.

He hopes he won't regret today's decision in the future…

At this moment, he finally understands why his elder sister‑in‑law has been urging him to marry all these years.

In truth, it's because she's worried he won't fare well when he grows old.

Fortunately, although he hasn't married or had children, he has a fine adopted son, so having someone to support his old age is no problem.

Qianshou Feijian's only worry is that when Lian Ye grows old, no one will look after him.

Who says he has no adopted son? His three disciples aren't unreliable, are they?

But with this kid's mind, even without a son, his life wouldn't be too bad.

Lian Ye saw Qianshou Feijian stop urging him, and his lingering worries finally eased.

In his view, there's nothing special about Mizuto Ayi; as long as this old kid doesn't cause trouble, it's fine.

"I'll tell my elder sister‑in‑law your thoughts; as long as you don't regret it later, that's all that matters."

"Won't, won't…" Lian Ye immediately replied with a smile.

He didn't expect Qianshou Feijian to be willing to explain for him, so he wouldn't need to use the prepared excuse.

Just as Nara Motoya said, marriage and the like are the most troublesome.

Being single does make one feel lonely, but as long as you're not alone, isn't that fine?

Know that Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Nara Motoya, both like him, don't want to marry, so they can look after each other when old.

All three are old men; the three of them bask in the sun together, reminisce when idle, and enjoy their senior years.

Isn't that better than retiring at home to care for a little grandson?

Qianshou Feijian watched Lian Ye's beaming smile and shook his head helplessly.

He wonders if his own lifelong bachelorhood caused this kid's influence, and even corrupted his good relationship with Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Nara Motoya.

If that's true, all he can do is mourn on behalf of the two men's fathers.

Who could have thought that even with a son, the family's line would end here.

"You go cook, I'll talk to my elder sister‑in‑law."

Qianshou Feijian said that and left the courtyard heading to his older brother's house.

Soon, Xuanwo Mizuto's angry voice rang throughout the entire Senju Clan.

"What?!"

Lian Ye, who was preparing ingredients in the kitchen, shivered instinctively at Mizuto Ayi's angry questioning.

He hopes that old kid Qianshou Feijian can persuade Mizuto Ayi.

Otherwise, he'll have to resort to that plan…

That night, Qianshou Feijian returned with a darkened face.

"Kid, your Mizuto Ayi has agreed to your not marrying."

He doesn't know what was said over there, but it made Xuanwo Mizuto give up on finding a match for Lian Ye.

"Come, come, sit quickly, uncle!"

Hearing that, Lian Ye immediately pulled out a chair for Feijian, and enthusiastically helped serve rice and dishes.

Hashirama Residence.

"I'm furious, neither father nor son is easy to deal with!" Xuanwo Mizuto said irritably.

She hasn't been short of arranging marriages for the two over the years, yet neither of them is willing to marry.

It was almost settled this time, but Feijian personally came to refuse!

Sure enough, Lian Ye's refusal to marry was due to Feijian's influence; a good kid ends up wasted like this.

If they don't marry or have children, who will support them in old age later?

"Mizuto, calm down, calm down…"

Hashirama carefully massaged his wife's shoulders and legs, fearing she might take out her anger over Feijian and Lian Ye's refusal to marry on him.

Seeing his wife's expression still sour, he could only try to change the subject.

"Although Lian Ye doesn't want to marry, isn't there still Tuan Cang?"

At those words, Xuanwo Mizuto's grimace finally softened.

Lian Ye gets along well with Tuan Cang; as long as Tuan Cang marries and has children, he'll also help support Lian Ye later.

"I'll lead the girls over tomorrow!"

At that moment, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, who was at home, suddenly got a bad feeling.

"Hope Lian Ye's plan works…"

A few minutes earlier, Lian Ye handed over a silk pouch, saying it should be used only when absolutely necessary.

He doesn't know what's written inside, but it can make a good brother swear that as long as they follow its contents, Lord Mizuto won't force them to marry.

Honestly, he wanted to open it early to see, but recalling Lian Ye's request before leaving, he ultimately dismissed the thought.

Never mind, the timing isn't right yet.

Early the next morning, Xuanwo Mizuto led several girls to the door.

The girls, upon learning their match was the Village's Third Hokage, were beyond excited.

In recent years, some novels have been published, many of which are romance stories about dating a domineering Hokage.

The young girls reading the books all imagined, like the heroines, having a passionate romance with the Hokage himself.

The girls present had all read those novels before.

They just didn't know why, overnight those romance novels vanished from the market.

The real reason is that the Hokage Tuan Cang found the novels' author Lian Ye and told him to stop writing those indecent books!

Because of those novels, quite a few girls have been coming to his door!

"Mito Clan, what is this…"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang opened the door, saw a few girls behind the Uzumaki Clan Mito Clan, and his face instantly turned pale, still not understanding what had happened.

The expected one indeed arrived!

Just as Lian Ye said yesterday, Uzumaki Clan will definitely bring girls to his door.

"Tuan Cang, I've brought a few girls to meet you; they've always admired you," Uzumaki Clan Mito Clan said with a smile.

The girls' eyes lit up the moment they saw Tuan Cang, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

"Hokage!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang saw fear flash in his eyes, "Mito Clan, please wait…"

Saying that, he turned and pulled out the brocade pouch Lian Ye had sent.

Good brother, I'm counting on you!

To be honest, he has no interest in women at all; making him marry is more painful than killing him.

Now he can only place his hope in the brilliant scheme inside the brocade pouch his good brother sent.

Any method will do, as long as it can make Mito Clan give up the idea of introducing a match to him!

With a nervous and expectant heart, he slowly opened the brocade pouch and took out a slip of paper.

But when Tuan Cang read the contents clearly, he was instantly stunned in place.

What a joke!

Although he truly doesn't want to marry, he can't use this as an excuse!

If he says that, how will he survive in the Village later?!

The content is simple—

【If it really doesn't work, tell Mizuto Ayi that you actually like men and have no interest in women.】

Damn it, what kind of method is this?!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at his good brother's messy handwriting, feeling like crying but with no tears.

Is this guy Lian Ye really not digging his own pit?
