Chapter 733: Lian Ye's Marriage Push

"Teacher, you're finally here!"

At the Konoha Detention Center, Zilaoye clutched the rail with both hands, his eyes welling up with hot tears in excitement.

If the teacher didn't come to bail him out, he'd have to be detained for fifteen days.

"Can you at least give me a break?"

Lian Ye said with a hint of frustration, as if the iron hadn't become steel.

Zilaoye, the kid, gets more worrisome as he grows up; every now and then he gets caught for peeping.

If it weren't for his some connections in the Village, Zilaoye would probably have been taken in already.

"I don't know where the surveillance was installed."

Zilaoye scratched his head awkwardly and said apologetically.

That bathhouse didn't have surveillance before, but it was suddenly installed not long ago.

He was only focused on peeping, never noticing at all, and then he was arrested by the Uchiha Security Forces.

"Lord Lian Ye."

Uchiha Fugao, despite his young age, had already become the deputy captain of the Security Forces.

Uchiha Jing intentionally groomed him toward becoming clan head; the kid is actually commendable, flawless in every aspect.

"Thanks for the trouble, Fugao," Lian Ye rubbed his brow, "Release him, please."

Because of his underachieving disciple, he hasn't been short of trouble for Fugao.

Uchiha Fugao waved his hand behind him, and the Uchiha Clan's Members immediately unlocked the door.

"We'll leave first; if anything comes up, come sit with me."

The two left the detention center.

"This is the last time," Lian Ye said seriously, "If you get caught peeping again, I won't bother with you any more."

He didn't understand why Zilaoye was so obsessed with peeping the bathhouse.

Yuanfei Rizhan isn't his teacher, so he shouldn't have been led astray.

Maybe that's just a case of like attracts like.

"Sorry, Teacher," Zilaoye said with a guilty face, "I can't give up peeping!"

Lian Ye: "..."

Facing such a problematic disciple, he truly had no solution.

Such a mixed‑up talk—does it have to be so dramatic!

After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly and gently patted Zilaoye's shoulder.

"You're not a kid anymore; it's time to think about marriage."

At this moment, Lian Ye finally understood why Mizuto Ayi had been so insistent on finding him a partner back then.

Some people might only develop a sense of responsibility after marriage.

Perhaps giving Zilaoye a partner might make him settle down.

So he wouldn't get caught every few days.

Even if he can't settle after marriage, being caught peeping could let his wife bail him out.

With that in mind, he planned to tell Tuan Cang later, asking him to help find a suitable match for Zilaoye.

"Teacher, are you okay!"

Zilaoye's face turned ghostly at the words.

The teacher, single for half his life, actually said he should consider marriage!

What a joke!

After all, in his view, someone who's been single forever couldn't discuss marriage with him.

"I'm serious," Lian Ye said without joking, "If you don't marry now, you'll grow old without anyone to care for you."

Those words had once been said to him by Xuanwo Mizuto, and now he passed them on to Zilaoye unchanged.

He hoped his disciple would seriously consider the marriage matter.

Zilaoye: "..."

Lian Ye Teacher even went so far as to suggest marriage just to stop him from peeping at women's bathhouses!

"Teacher, don't you think what you said is out of place?"

Zilaoye's eyes were complicated as he managed to utter that sentence.

The teacher is almost fifty and has never married.

Now, he's actually urging him.

"I'm different from you," Lian Ye said, his expression unchanged, "When I grow old, Tuan Cang can look after me; can Orochimaru look after you when you get old?"

Zilaoye thought seriously and didn't think Orochimaru would look after him.

He might even, on a bad‑mood day, just throw him onto an operating table and dissect him.

"Teacher, Orochimaru isn't married either," Zilaoye said weakly.

"Orochimaru has scientific techniques; he could create children in the future. Could you?"

Lian Ye wasn't speaking nonsense; in Boruto, Orochimaru did create a Snake Moon.

Zilaoye: "..."

He opened his mouth to retort, but nothing came out.

It sounded as if the teacher's words had no problem.

Could it be that he really has to consider marriage?

"Alright, I'll have Tuan Cang find a few suitable marriage candidates for you."

Lian Ye saw that he was moved by what was said and couldn't help but make a decision on the spot.

"When the time comes, you meet people one by one, and if you like someone, just get married."

Saying that, without giving him a moment to react, he decisively turned and left the detention center.

Only Zilaoye was left standing dumbfounded at the doorway, staring at the teacher's departing back with a bewildered expression.

He had only been locked up a few times, and the teacher already wanted to find a partner for him.

Isn't that a bit absurd?

Hashirama Residence.

"Tuan Cang, stop sunbathing."

Lian Ye woke his just‑sleeping good brother, his expression urgent as he said.

"What happened?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, seeing his good brother's anxious look, instantly perked up, completely dispelling his drowsiness.

"I think Zilaoye is getting on in years; spying on the women's bath all day isn't a solution. So I'm letting you pick a few decent partners for him…"

"Are you okay?"

Tuan Cang's reaction mirrored Zilaoye's, both wearing a look of seeing ghosts.

A single dog actually lets another single dog get married!

A good brother can't be getting a problem from sunbathing, right?

"No, what's that look you have?"

Noticing his good brother's incredulous gaze, Lian Ye, puzzled, touched his face.

There shouldn't be any dirt on his face, right…

"Ahem, you aren't kidding, are you?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang realized his slip, gave a light cough and changed the subject.

"Why are you suddenly concerned about Zilaoye's marriage?"

"I think his constant peeping isn't a matter, so I want him to marry and settle his mind."

The other people in the courtyard also looked at Lian Ye oddly.

Is this kid definitely not having a glitch?

You should know everyone in the courtyard are single dogs.

Does saying that sound a bit off…

"Kid, instead of worrying about your disciple, worry more about yourself."

Madara Uchiha turned his head to look at Lian Ye.

"Brother is right, Lian Yejun, you should worry more about yourself!"

Yuzhibo Quannai agreed.

"What about you?" Lian Ye, irritated, looked at the few, rolled his eyes, "Want me to set you up?"

These people have been single longer than him, yet they have the nerve to preach to him.

Wait…

From Zilaoye's perspective, he seems no different from this group.

"No, I don't need that kind of thing called women."

Madara Uchiha decisively refused.

"I have my brother with me, so I don't need it either." Yuzhibo Quannai shook her head, looked at Qianshou Feijian, "You could at least look for a stepmother for yourself."

"Shut up!" Qianshou Feijian scowled, "I don't need it either!"

"Don't look at me, I don't need it either."

Noticing his good brother's gaze, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang immediately explained.

Lian Ye: "…"

Sure enough, those who hang with the red become red, those with the ink become black.

Everyone in the courtyard doesn't want to get married…

Wait, isn't he introducing a partner for Zilaoye?

What does it have to do with them!
