Chapter 689: I'm Really So Moved

"Madara, when can we go back?"

Hashirama looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and said helplessly.

The dragon vein can indeed traverse time‑space, but it cannot guarantee an immediate return.

They have used the dragon vein to traverse several times, yet they never returned to the original time‑space.

We arrived in good shape, and now we can't go back.

Madara Uchiha looked around and gently shook his head.

"I don't know."

He's not in a hurry to return; relaxing in other time‑spaces is also quite nice.

"Big brother, say a little less," Hashirama said displeased.

He's been complaining all the way, but it's not that Hashirama doesn't want to travel.

It's just that their luck is truly poor; the time‑spaces they've traversed each time are similar periods.

When the time stretches, there's no novelty left.

Repeating similar events over and over is less appealing than going home to bask in the sun.

"Tuan Cang, are you in a hurry to leave?"

Seeing Uncle Hashirama's complaints, Lian Ye subconsciously looked at his good brother.

With Ban Daye and his group present, the good brothers dared not speak as they usually do.

All the way, they tried to minimize their presence.

Had he known this, he shouldn't have traveled with Ban Daye and the others.

But now it's not an excuse either.

As long as Tuan Cang isn't in a hurry to leave, he plans to go his separate ways with Ban Daye and the others.

Otherwise the good brothers would lose any sense of participation.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang did not expect Lian Ye to suddenly ask him.

But seeing his good brother's serious expression, he paused, then shook his head.

From Lian Ye's demeanor, it was clear he didn't intend to leave immediately; he only said that out of concern for his feelings.

They barely managed to go out for a trip, so they can't crush the good brother's enthusiasm.

"No need, I'm not in a hurry to leave."

He truly doesn't want to leave that quickly, but because of Teacher Feijian and a few others, he can't let go.

It's not that he wants to end the journey.

Moreover, dragon vein traversal is completely random; even if he wants to leave, he can't return immediately.

It may take several attempts to get back to the original time‑space.

He can't just let Lian Ye and Teacher Feijian go their separate ways, can he?

Lian Ye understood the situation; his good brother wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Then he could bring up the matter of going separate ways with the uncle.

Otherwise, with them around, Tuan Cang can't let go at all!

Originally, Lian Ye only wanted to travel with Tuan Cang and never thought of teaming up with Qianshou Feijian and the others.

It was only by chance that they ended up in the same time‑space, forcing them to form a group tour together.

Since his good brother feels uncomfortable, he can certainly raise the issue.

Tuan Cang not daring to speak doesn't mean he isn't daring.

"Uncle, do you think it's because there are too many of us?"

Lian Ye feigned confusion and delivered a pre‑prepared excuse.

"Because there are many of us, we keep ending up in similar time periods."

Qianshou Feijian narrowed his eyes at the remark.

He would never believe Lian Ye's explanation, no matter what.

He's probably scheming something behind the scenes.

His gaze fell on Tuan Cang, who had been keeping his head down, and he instantly guessed the cause and effect.

The kid surely thinks they're an eyesore, so he found an excuse to travel alone with Tuan Cang.

Moreover, thinking carefully, his words do have some logic.

"You make sense..."

Qianshou Feijian, seeing this, nodded gravely.

After all, the kid is his adopted son, and Tuan Cang is his disciple.

Now that the reason is known, he can't just do nothing.

"Hey!" Hashirama's eyes lit up, "Lian Ye makes a lot of sense!"

He truly thinks Lian Ye's words are fine.

When Lian Ye and Tuan Cang weren't there before, they hadn't encountered such a thing while traversing time‑space.

Later, when two more people joined the group, they kept looping in similar time periods.

They couldn't even return to the original time‑space!

Yuzhibo Quannai always felt something was off, but after looking at the three, he found nothing abnormal.

Madara Uchiha said nothing, merely watching them with interest.

He wanted to see what good solution these people could come up with...

When Lian Ye saw the timing was right, he immediately voiced his plan.

"How about you keep traveling, and Tuan Cang and I go off alone?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang was startled by the words, but quickly grasped his good brother's meaning, a faint curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

He wondered why Lian Ye would say that all of a sudden.

Turns out he was thinking about his own feelings!

Last time Lian Ye invited him on a trip, he didn't refuse because he didn't want to go, but because others were present and he felt embarrassed to join.

Even though this time they were heading out alone, they ran into Teacher Feijian and his group halfway.

With those elders around, he just couldn't relax.

After all, these people aren't Yuanfei Rizhan and the like…

"Great idea!"

Senju Hashirama immediately slung his arm around his close friend's shoulder and said cheerfully.

"Then I'll pair up with Madara!"

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai: "???"

Both of them simultaneously cast resentful glances toward the mastermind of this matter.

If Hashirama pairs with Madara and Lian Ye pairs with Tuan Cang, wouldn't that leave only the two of them?!

Just the thought of traveling with the other party feels incredibly strange.

It would be tolerable with anyone else, but being paired with a mortal rival…

What a joke!

Lian Ye: "…"

He swore he was only looking for an excuse to take Tuan Cang away.

He truly never imagined pairing everyone up in twos!

"Uncle Hashirama, did you get it wrong..."

Lian Ye, whose survival instinct was extremely strong, immediately tried to stop Hashirama's absurd team assignment.

"The four of you should just travel together honestly!"

"Don't make up all this nonsense, hey!"

"I'm not mistaken, I think it's fine!"

Senju Hashirama cut off Lian Ye's argument outright, turned his head toward Madara Uchiha and said,

"Madara, do you think my assignment has a problem?"

At those words, Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai instantly looked anxiously at Madara Uchiha.

They all hoped Madara would reject Hashirama's proposal!

Otherwise, they couldn't even imagine what the upcoming travel would look like.

Madara Uchiha didn't answer immediately; his gaze swept over the two anxious people and finally settled on Lian Ye.

Lian Ye: "…"

"No, look at what I'm doing!"

"I'm the one who suggested the whole two‑by‑two pairing thing!"

"Ban Daye, if you're going to look, look at Uncle Hashirama!"

Otherwise, if the two‑by‑two pairing actually happens, that kid Qianshou Feijian will definitely settle scores later!

Madara Uchiha saw Lian Ye's pleading expression, and the corner of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

"I think it's fine."

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai's bodies went rigid at the words, the disbelief in their eyes flashing away in an instant.

"Brother Madara, what on earth are you doing!"

"Why did you agree to this!"

Compared with the two shocked people, Lian Ye was completely petrified.

It's over; they'll definitely cause trouble for themselves later!

It was on purpose; Uncle Hashirama and Ban Daye definitely did it on purpose!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang showed a look of sympathy.

The good brother actually, for his own sake, offended Yuzhibo Quannai and Teacher Feijian at the same time.

It's truly so moving!
