Chapter 632: Take It to Soak in a Hot Spring

"Now, can I leave?"

All the money I've painstakingly saved over the years is gone, and Jiaodu feels everything has become bland.

Living seems to have no hope, and dying actually seems indifferent.

Of course, that feeling only lasted a moment.

After all, as long as one is alive, who wants to die?

Money can be earned again, but if a person is gone, that's truly gone.

"What's the hurry?" Lian Ye points at the straw mat beside him, "Sit for a while before you go."

He took all their money, so he can't just kick them out immediately, right?

It looks as if he does it just for the money…

Jiaodu doesn't dare to refuse, subconsciously glances at the silent Madara Uchiha, then forces himself to sit down.

He keeps his head down, not daring to breathe heavily, fearing it would anger the Ninja World Asura, which might then strike him down.

Lian Ye indeed wouldn't kill him, but Madara Uchiha is different.

If he truly kills himself, there would be nowhere to cry.

Madara Uchiha doesn't understand why Lian Ye wants to keep Jiaodu, yet he doesn't ask him directly.

This kid always acts outside the norm…

"Since we finally made it to the Country of Hot Springs, we must experience the local hot springs."

Lian Ye pulls a stack of silver notes from his coat, counts them for a while, and pulls out the smallest denomination.

"It's on me; take this to soak in a hot spring."

Jiaodu: "…"

That damned bastard robbed me of billions the moment we met, and now he only gives me this paltry sum to send me off.

Though he keeps muttering complaints in his mind, he honestly takes the money.

Having a little left is better than having everything taken.

As for soaking, he won't; keeping the money makes him feel at ease.

"Earn money well, don't slack off."

Lian Ye pats his shoulder, indicating he may leave.

If you don't earn money properly, how will you rob later?

He couldn't possibly travel far just for a few hundred million to track Jiaodu's trail, right?

Seeing this, Jiaodu rises without hesitation and vanishes from the room in the blink of an eye.

"Kid, are you close with him?" Madara Uchiha asks, puzzled.

"Not really close, just have a profit relationship."

In Lian Ye's view, Jiaodu is a cash machine; each encounter yields a sum of money.

Madara Uchiha: "…"

Robbery is robbery, yet he talks about profit ties.

This kid is really becoming more shameless.

"Lord Ban, consider his money as a tribute to you."

Lian Ye places the Storage Scroll that Jiaodu handed over earlier onto the table.

Ban Daye has been staying at Hashirama's uncle's house, apparently having no source of income.

This sum might as well serve as their retirement fund.

He hasn't opened the Storage Scroll, so he doesn't know how much money is inside.

But after all these years without seeing him, given Jiaodu's love for making money, he should have a few hundred million in savings.

Madara Uchiha doesn't decline, and puts away the Storage Scroll from the table.

The kid has intentions now.

When Quan Nai revives, he can use this money to buy a decent house in the Village.

Then he and his brother can live together, no longer staying at Hashirama's home.

Outside the inn.

"What a joke!"

So the news from Konoha Village wasn't bragging; Madara Uchiha really hasn't died…

Jiaodu's face is full of despair; the sunlight on him feels not warm but bone‑chilling cold.

Over a decade's savings, all reduced to ash.

For him, that's even more painful than being killed.

Had he known, he wouldn't have taken a 10 billion bounty.

Unfortunately, there's no Regret Medicine in the world.

Uchiha Lianye!

Damned guy, I will never let you go!

Consider this money stored with him; I'll retrieve it myself after thirty years.

Take back the principal and interest in full!

Money's gone, but life must go on.

Jiaodu doesn't fall into a slump; his good mindset lets him bounce back quickly.

Anyway, it's not his first robbery; his capacity to endure far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Rather than saying his endurance is strong, it's more that he simply has no other tricks.

Who made him unable to defeat Lian Ye?

"Hmph, see you in thirty years!"

Jiaodu glanced at the inn one last time, then resolutely left the place that saddened him.

I did nothing today and ended up losing several hundred million.

I can only keep taking bounties to earn money…

In secret, A Fei said in disbelief.

"That guy named Jiaodu really has some skill!"

He broke into Lord Ban's room and emerged completely unharmed.

He once assassinated the God of Ninja and walked away unscathed; now he assassinates a Ninja World Asura and also walks away unscathed!

Now he'll have bragging rights.

Talent, truly a talent!

The Bai Jue were worried that getting too close would be noticed by Madara Uchiha, so they didn't sneak into the room and naturally didn't know what happened inside.

Anyway, A Fei saw Jiaodu kick open Lord Ban's door and then emerge completely unharmed.

It seems necessary to record this incident and tell Heijue.

A Fei watched Jiaodu's departing silhouette, his face full of emotion.

"Heijue needs such a powerful ally!"

He would say this guy has no skill; how could he dare take the bounties for assassinating Lord Ban and Senju Hashirama?

Although the assassination failed, walking away unscathed is still a skill.

"Kid, you ran into Jiaodu?"

Qianshou Feijian stopped Lian Ye, who was about to return to his room, and asked curiously.

He sensed in the room that someone was causing trouble, and that person's chakra was exactly the same as Jiaodu's, who had previously tried to assassinate him.

He originally intended to step out and take a look, but then discovered that person had entered Madara's room.

So he didn't come out to watch the spectacle.

"Right, he's here to deliver money to me," Lian Ye said cheerfully.

Even if Jiaodu has some issues, for the sake of the money, he can overlook his flaws.

Who could refuse a money‑delivering boy?

Qianshou Feijian: "……"

Are you sure it's Jiaodu delivering money, not being robbed?

Fine, that guy isn't a good person; if he stole it, let him steal.

"What did Madara say to you?"

Qianshou Feijian wasn't truly concerned about Jiaodu; he wanted to probe what Lian Ye did in Madara's room.

The naturally evil Madara Uchiha is trying to secretly deceive Lian Ye again!

He must not allow this to happen!

Even so, Lian Ye is his adopted son, having long left the Uchiha Clan, and has no connection with Madara Uchiha.

He cannot just watch Lian Ye be taken away.

"Lord Ban says…"

Lian Ye didn't conceal anything and explained the situation succinctly.

Actually, Madara Uchiha didn't say much; he just mentioned reviving Yuzhibo Quannai.

He paid no attention to the other trivial matters.

Qianshou Feijian, upon hearing that, nodded thoughtfully.

"Got it, you may go back and rest."

Back in his room, Qianshou Feijian lifted a cup of hot tea and took a sip, his thoughts unknown.

He didn't expect that the long‑dead Yuzhibo Quannai could be revived.

He hopes that guy won't cause trouble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing him again!
