Chapter 770: Knowing Too Much Isn't a Good Thing

Please answer the reason for Lian Ye's drastic change of temperament; the reward is set according to the specific score, and a wrong answer deducts one year of lifespan.

The crowd was completely stunned the moment they saw the question.

Considering they can't even pick the correct answer on multiple‑choice questions, let alone the prompt for an open‑ended answer.

Heavenly Curtain wants to state outright that it will deduct lifespan; why beat around the bush!

They only saw Lian Ye and Qianshou Feijian at odds, but they have no idea what the cause is!

In their view, Heavenly Curtain is a double‑edged sword.

A correct answer yields a generous reward, but failing three times in a row brings a severe penalty.

Yuzhibo Quannai【Warring States】："Do you have any clue?"

He thinks the innately evil Qianshou Feijian secretly did something excessive to Lian Ye.

Later the matter was exposed, causing the two to break apart.

Just look at Lian Ye's arrogant demeanor in the scene…

No guessing needed; it's clear that Qianshou Feijian's actions were truly over the line!

Qianshou Feijian【Warring States】："I think his true nature has been exposed."

At this moment, he speculates about the Uchiha with the utmost malice.

After all, Uchiha Clan's members are emotionally unstable, so turning dark because of certain events is normal.

Naruto Uzumaki【Ninja World War】："Too difficult."

Sasuke Uchiha【Ninja World War】："I think he must have gone through some incident."

As a fellow Uchiha, he understands that certain experiences Lian Ye went through caused his drastic temperament shift.

As for the exact events, that remains unknown.

The difficulty lies precisely in that point.

The Chunin Exam period.

After Orochimaru's hands were sealed, he left Konoha Village.

Now he leans against a tree, looking up with his eyes glowing at Heavenly Curtain.

He seems to have guessed the reason for Lian Ye's drastic temperament change.

That is the intuition unique to a fanatical researcher!

Putting himself in Qianshou Feijian's shoes, he likewise wouldn't spare Bai Jian's experimental subject!

However, he doesn't intend to reveal this to the crowd via Heavenly Curtain.

This question isn't multiple‑choice, nor does it require team cooperation.

The fewer who answer correctly, the better!

Orochimaru looks at the blue panel before him, and as a thought flickers, the text appears on the question.

【Qianshou Feijian slipped a drug into milk, secretly used Lian Ye for research, and later the matter was exposed, causing the two's relationship to rupture.】

In his view, this explanation is reasonable.

In the scene, Qianshou Feijian, faced with Lian Ye's arrogant behavior, chose not to fight but to swallow his anger.

This point really illustrates the issue.

Submit the answer.

【Congratulations to Orochimaru for being the first to finish answering; accuracy rate seventy percent, reward lifts the seal on both hands.】

【7】 Heavenly Curtain's voice rang in everyone's ears.

The sound of the Heavenly Curtain rang in everyone's ears.

He suddenly found his limp, hanging hands regain sensation.

"Heh, only seventy percent accuracy?"

It seems his guess has some issues; there must be another reason.

【Reminder: if accuracy falls below sixty percent, one year of lifespan will be deducted.】

The crowd just heard Orochimaru's seventy percent accuracy and, before they could ask, heard Heavenly Curtain's next words.

One by one, their faces changed dramatically, all seeking Orochimaru's help.

But they discovered Heavenly Curtain had activated a mute.

Obviously, colluding on answers to get the reward won't work.

"Teacher, the hands you sealed with your life were undone in the blink of an eye."

Orochimaru's hands tightened unconsciously, his gaze drifting toward distant Konoha Village.

"How pitiful…"

Warring States timeline.

"Qianshou Feijian, what do you speculate?"

Yuzhibo Quannai looked at his mortal rival.

Though he was displeased, at this moment they could only share information.

"I think the me from another timeline probably really did something to that kid."

Qianshou Feijian's face showed helplessness.

"As for exactly what, I'm not sure."

"Heh, you're sure it's 'not sure' and not that you're unwilling to admit?"

Yuzhibo Quannai sneered.

Qianshou Feijian fell silent upon hearing that.

If the speculation is correct, the other‑timeline him certainly did as Orochimaru previously said.

He added Monghan Drug to the milk, knocked the person out, then took them to the laboratory for research.

Later, the matter was exposed, causing the relationship to break.

Yuzhibo Quannai saw him stay silent, which further solidified his inner suspicion.

"Brother, I know the answer now."

Under his explanation, everyone hurriedly entered their answers.

The accuracy rates all reached sixty percent or seventy percent.

"The specifics are more complicated than we thought."

Qianshou Feijian found that the answer wasn't perfect and fell into contemplation.

There must be other hidden aspects within it.

The Heavenly Curtain didn't play, leaving them with no way to start.

"Ha ha, it's good that no lifespan was deducted."

Hashirama had no particular thoughts on this, still keeping a cheerful smile.

He laughed while secretly leaning toward his close friend.

Madara Uchiha saw this, frowned, and immediately put distance between them.

Hashirama, that guy, isn't a good person.

He doesn't want the other side getting too close; as for ending the war and founding a Village?

Don't even think about it!

Since they know the future will see a split over the Village, there's no need to tread the wrong path any longer.

"Madara…"

Hashirama saw his former close friend's behavior, his face full of grievance.

Madara Uchiha, however, ignored it.

This guy is too scheming, deliberately playing the victim before him to garner sympathy.

It seems he was truly deceived by the other before.

Hashirama is not a simple fool at all, but a scheming, black‑hearted bastard.

He says his younger brother Feijian is so scheming, yet elder brother Hashirama is a simple fool?

So the real simple fool is himself…

"Madara, you've changed…"

Hashirama realized playing the victim was useless, so he kept pushing the emotional card.

The old Madara was clearly not like this.

It's all because the suddenly appearing Heavenly Curtain showed some false images that affected their emotions.

"Hashirama, stay away from me."

Madara Uchiha, disgusted, took a few more steps back.

That look clearly showed he didn't want any further contact with the other.

……

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"What exactly is the answer?"

Lian Ye's face showed a blank stare, and he forgot to eat the popcorn in his hand.

Why will his future self become like this?

What exactly happened!

Given his personality, such a big change shouldn't occur.

Could it be that the Original Body has been topped?!

That shouldn't be; if the other could top, they'd have done so long ago.

What exactly happened in the future…

With his IQ, pondering such a question is indeed a challenge beyond his capacity.

Without knowing the answer, he is a complete Underachiever.

Qianshou Feijian watched Lian Ye, who hadn't figured out the situation, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the kid's IQ isn't high.

Even now, he still hasn't clarified the situation.

As long as the Heavenly Curtain doesn't explain on its own, there should be no problem.

From now on, the dosage must be increased!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang glanced secretly at Lian Ye, then glanced secretly at Teacher Feijian.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing…

……

ps: The more I write, the more boring it gets; after finishing this, I'll start a new book this month, hehe!
