Chapter 769: It's Not What You Think!

Hokage Office.

Qianshou Feijian was carefully reviewing documents when he saw Lian Ye suddenly appear in the office.

He slowly set the documents down, looked up with a calm expression.

"You've come."

"Old thing, I'm back looking for you again."

Lian Ye activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan, lounged in the chair with his legs draped over the desk, his attitude extremely arrogant.

Qianshou Feijian silently sighed at the sight, "Your appearances are becoming more frequent."

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily examined the young man before him.

"Old thing, don't look at me with that disgusting stare."

Lian Ye stood, placed both hands on the desk, leaned close to Qianshou Feijian, his tone teasing.

"Do you really want me to disappear?"

Qianshou Feijian remained silent, his red eyes meeting Lian Ye's.

The atmosphere in the office began to grow tense.

"Don't look at me like that; you bear great responsibility for my existence, don't you?"

Lian Ye sat back down, hands behind his head, legs again on the desk.

"Your experiment hastened my appearance; you should know the reason, right?"

Qianshou Feijian said nothing.

In fact, he had no idea why this situation arose.

"I'll find a way to make you disappear!"

"Heh, we'll see," Lian Ye said with interest, "I hope you truly can find a way to make me vanish."

A barely perceptible hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"After all, I also dislike this kind of life."

"What is your purpose in seeking me?" Qianshou Feijian said gravely, "It can't be just to tell me some meaningless nonsense, can it?"

Logically, this guy shouldn't be that boring.

But I've not spent much time with him, so I can't read his thoughts.

Anyway, he never plays by the rules.

"Old thing never takes me seriously when we talk," Lian Ye said helplessly, "If it were him, he wouldn't have this attitude, right?"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Qianshou Feijian was so angry his teeth ached, yearning to punch the person before him.

This guy and that kid were like different people; every move was full of scheming.

He despises dealing with such a Uchiha the most.

It always feels like an old acquaintance!

No wonder they're the inherently evil Uchiha Clan.

"See, you're getting impatient again," Lian Ye pretended to be very sad, clutching his chest with a gloomy face, "When talking to me, are you always so impatient?"

Qianshou Feijian's forehead veins bulged, and he instinctively clenched his fist.

If this guy hadn't possessed Lian Ye's body, he would have already launched a Flying Thunder God slash.

"Heh heh, do you really want to beat me?"

Lian Ye said, moving his face forward, pointed at his own face and taunted.

"Come on, hit here!"

"Old thing, can you bear..."

Qianshou Feijian's fist tightened and relaxed, ultimately restraining the urge to strike.

Lian Ye feigned heartache, covering his chest, his trembling finger pointing at him.

"Touch your conscience; does that really not hurt?"

"I have my reasons for doing this," Qianshou Feijian, unfazed, suppressed his anger.

"Tsk tsk, are you truly without remorse?"

Lian Ye dropped the "pain" act, his mocking grin unabashed.

"Our Hokage really is magnanimous!"

The Heavenly Curtain's screen ends here.

Yuzhibo Quannai【Warring States】："???"

Hashirama【Warring States】："Feijian, what exactly did you do in the other world?"

Lian Ye's changes are drastic; one could say he's a different person.

It seems Feijian did something out of line to him.

That broke their relationship, leading to this situation.

Qianshou Feijian【Warring States】："???"

How could he know what his other-world self did to that kid!

The content on the screen is disjointed.

Who knows what actually happened!

Naruto Uzumaki【Ninja World War】："Second Generation Great Person definitely did something outrageous, otherwise their relationship couldn't be that bad!"

Orochimaru【Both Hands Sealed】："Heh, in my experience, the Second Generation Great Person is probably secretly studying Uchiha Lian Ye's body; later the research must have been exposed, turning both sides against each other."

Qianshou Feijian【Impure Earth Reincarnation】："Nonsense!"

He was originally fighting Uchiha Obito and didn't want to waste effort explaining.

But seeing Orochimaru spread rumors made him unable to sit still.

The people on the Heavenly Curtain aren't very smart; they're easily swayed by public opinion.

By then they'll definitely overthink, and at that point he'll become infamous!

Qianshou Feijian (Warring States): "Exactly, it's just nonsense!"

Yuzhibo Quannai (Warring States): "The inherently evil Qianshou Feijian, I knew you weren't any good person; I truly see through you."

Madara Uchiha (Warring States): "Hashirama, is this your good little brother?"

Hashirama (Warring States): "Feijian, you really disappoint me."

Qianshou Feijian (Warring States) and Impure Earth Reincarnation: "......"

They always knew it would turn out like this, secretly hating the rhythm‑setting Orochimaru.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

The moment Qianshou Feijian saw the screen, he suddenly widened his eyes.

Although their conversation didn't specify what had happened,

he still learned the situation immediately.

In the future, the exposure of the experiment using Lian Ye will cause this kid's temperament to change dramatically!

That matter ultimately couldn't be hidden.

He doesn't understand how, with Lian Ye's intellect, the secret of the experiment was discovered.

Normally, this kid shouldn't have been able to discover it!

Unless some irresistible factor...

"That was me?!"

Lian Ye stared at the punkish guy on the Heavenly Curtain, finding it hard to believe that was his future self.

Did he really act that arrogant?

With his personality, he shouldn't be capable of such deeds!

Such behavior might only be possible for a pure‑blood Uchiha.

This half‑baked Transmigrator couldn't possibly do that.

That old kid Qianshou Feijian is, after all, his adoptive father.

He absolutely couldn't have done such a thing!

"Uncle!"

"Kid!"

"It's not what you think!"

The two said in unison, both fearing the other would misunderstand.

Lian Ye feared Qianshou Feijian would think he was a great heretic.

And Qianshou Feijian feared Lian Ye would learn about the experiment early.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "......"

Why did the two react so strongly?

It seems some circumstances are unknown to him.

"As long as you didn't misunderstand, that's good."

Seeing this, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Afraid the Heavenly Curtain's footage would affect their relationship!
