Chapter 720: The Return of the Spotted Pillar

"Did you not sleep well?"

Yuzhibo Quannai looked at Qianshou Feijian, whose eyes were like panda eyes, and asked in puzzlement.

Qianshou Feijian said nothing, but walked straight to the kitchen.

He couldn't possibly say it was because he stayed up late reading novels!

I have to admit, that kid's writing is a bit bizarre, but it's especially addictive, to say the least.

Having never seen anything like it, he could be described as unable to stop.

The only regret is that the kid seems not to have finished.

It looks like I need to find a chance to sneak into the kid's room and get the contents of the other volumes of that book.

If there really aren't any, then read other books.

After all, Lian Ye's novels fill an entire bookshelf, definitely enough for him to read for a long time.

"Weird, didn't he go back to rest later?"

Yuzhibo Quannai whispered softly while watching Qianshou Feijian's busy back.

If I remember correctly, I had just returned to my room not long ago, and he also went back to his room.

Logically, he shouldn't have slept poorly…

Unless Qianshou Feijian was hiding in his room doing something unsavory!

Yuzhibo Quannai's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered her rival's secret.

Yuzhibo Quannai must find out what Qianshou Feijian was doing hidden in his room last night.

Once the truth is uncovered, that guy will have leverage in her hands.

Yuzhibo Quannai can already imagine the scene of using that leverage to blackmail Qianshou Feijian into being a servant.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qianshou Feijian brought out the prepared breakfast, only to see Yuzhibo Quannai giggling foolishly.

Somehow, the image of Miss Yuzhibo in the novel coincided with the Quan Nai before his eyes.

Qianshou Feijian was startled by his own inadvertent thought.

What on earth is he thinking!

How could the naturally evil Yuzhibo Quannai possibly be the young lady in the novel?!

Aside from sharing the same surname, how could she possibly fit!

Yuzhibo Quannai: "???"

He just snapped out of his daydream and saw Qianshou Feijian staring at him without blinking.

Could it be that his plan was discovered!

That shouldn't be the case.

The naturally evil Qianshou Feijian couldn't possibly have telepathy…

"Hey, have you had enough of looking!"

Yuzhibo Quannai couldn't stand her rival's gaze any longer and finally said irritably.

"Sorry, I zoned out."

Qianshou Feijian pulled his thoughts back and didn't mind Quan Nai's tone.

After all, he indeed was at fault first…

I have to say, that kid's writing really gets you hooked; even after reading just one book, you become unable to stop.

"Are you okay?"

Qianshou Feijian didn't argue with him, and Yuzhibo Quannai was momentarily unable to adapt.

He can't be sick, can he!

Otherwise, why would he speak to me in that tone?!

He thought of many things in an instant.

Including but not limited to, Qianshou Feijian suffering from a terminal illness with little time left, then using his remaining time to atone for his mistakes.

Or Qianshou Feijian's conscience awakening, deciding to reform by becoming his exclusive servant!

These bizarre thoughts all stem from the novel on someone's bookshelf.

Yuzhibo Quannai accidentally entered Lian Ye's room and was instantly drawn to the novels on the bookshelf.

She secretly flipped through a few pages, then couldn't stop.

Reading such shameful novels must never be discovered by anyone.

So each time, he sneaks into Lian Ye's room to steal books when no one is home.

Fortunately, there are many novels on the bookshelf; missing one or two is hardly noticeable.

"What's with that look?"

Staring at Yuzhibo Quannai's strange gaze, now it was Qianshou Feijian who felt bewildered.

Why does this guy seem odd today…

In fact, they both found the other rather strange today.

After eating breakfast, Yuzhibo Quannai carried a bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Qianshou Feijian sat on the sofa, pretended to read the newspaper, but kept thinking about the sequel of that novel.

A novel without a sequel really makes one itch the more one thinks about it.

Can't that kid write more!

He has time to bask in the sun, but no time to write novels.

He's really too lazy!

If the conditions didn't forbid it, he would definitely lock Lian Ye in a little dark room and make him write a novel for twenty hours a day.

"Ha ha ha, we're back!"

At that moment, a bright laugh rang from the courtyard—it was Hashirama.

Yuzhibo Quannai in the kitchen and Qianshou Feijian in the living room went out at the same time.

"Brother, you're back!"

Yuzhibo Quannai, seeing the elder brother she thought of day and night, said with an excited face.

"Mm, I'm back."

Madara Uchiha indulgently patted his younger brother's head.

Having not seen his younger brother for a year, he indeed missed him a bit.

"Big brother, why did you take so long?" Qianshou Feijian frowned slightly, saying with some displeasure.

They had originally planned a one‑month trip, but the two ended up staying in another timeline for a whole year!

They really have no sense of time at all!

"Ha ha, aren't we back now…"

Hashirama scratched his head a bit awkwardly.

He couldn't possibly say it was because he was happily staying in the mountains with Madara that he hadn't returned.

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

Qianshou Feijian, knowing his elder brother's nature, said nothing more about it.

"What about that kid?"

Madara Uchiha had been eating too much of Hashirama's cooking lately and was eager to taste Lian Ye's culinary skill to improve his palate.

Otherwise, if this continued, his sense of taste would surely go wrong!

"Lian Yejun hasn't woken up yet," Yuzhibo Quannai explained. "He always sleeps until almost noon before getting up."

Madara Uchiha: "…"

That kid is really getting lazier.

He just knows how to slack off all day, and at this rate his condition will definitely decline.

"Brother, Lian Yejun has become a Ten‑Tails jinchuriki."

Yuzhibo Quannai seemed to have guessed her brother's thoughts and added.

Madara Uchiha: "???"

That kid actually became a Ten‑Tails jinchuriki!

He isn't even planning to carry out the Moon's Eye project, so why would that kid become a jinchuriki!

"The situation is like this…"

Yuzhibo Quannai recounted Lian Ye's concerns at that time in detail.

Madara Uchiha fell silent upon hearing it.

If that really happened, indeed some methods would be needed to get stronger!

He just found it hard to accept that after a year of traveling, that kid came back even stronger.

Lian Ye's rate of getting stronger is simply inhuman…

No one can just do nothing all day and get stronger just by basking in the sun.

He's lived so many years; it's unheard of!

But that kid's act of becoming a jinchuriki did remind him.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki truly appeared in their timeline, he could also capture the Three‑Tails and Nine‑Tails to become a Ten‑Tails jinchuriki.

By then, that mere Kaguya Otsutsuki wouldn't need to be taken seriously at all!

Or rather, he doesn't regard anyone at all!
