Chapter 780: I Saw Nothing!

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Why won't they let me answer the question on the Heavenly Curtain?"

Lian Ye lay in the courtyard, staring at the sky with a melancholy expression.

That group is too stupid; they honestly answered incorrectly.

If they had let him come, it would have been answered successfully long ago.

I really don't understand why the Heavenly Curtain would show scenes from the time‑space they occupy.

It even includes scenes from the future!

Of course, the content in the scenes could come from parallel time‑spaces.

What a pity.

The Heavenly Curtain can only be watched, not answered, for them.

It's the same as having none.

It seems the wish to someday punch Madara Uchiha and kick Kaguya Otsutsuki cannot be fulfilled.

"Lian Ye!"

At that moment, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang hurriedly burst into the courtyard.

"Why did you come?"

Tuan Cang had just left, so why did they suddenly run back?

Did something fall?

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at Lian Ye lying on the chair, and their face gradually merged with the girl from their dream.

Sure enough, the wife in their dream was Lian Ye...

"Hey, don't look at me with that kind of gaze, hey!"

Lian Ye felt his hair stand on end under Tuan Cang's stare, as if he were a mistreated daughter‑in‑law.

He spends all day basking in the sun at home.

But he hasn't done anything to wrong him.

He doesn't understand why the other side looks at him with that gaze!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said nothing, their mind recalling the bits and pieces of time spent with their wife.

"Tuan Tuan, do you like the food I make?"

"Tuan Tuan, how could you kiss me without my consent! Don't do that again."

"Tuan Tuan, do you like me?"

"Tuan Tuan, can we name our daughter 'Duanzi' as a nickname?"

"Tuan Tuan, if one day I become a boy, will you still love me?"

"Tuan Tuan, I love you."

Tears burst from his eyes uncontrollably.

His beloved wife turned into a man.

That feeling is probably something no one can truly empathize with.

Perhaps he always liked Lian Ye, but didn't dare admit it because of worldly reasons.

Daytime thoughts and nighttime dreams led him to fabricate the image of Uchiha Lianyue in his dream.

The exact reason remains unknown.

"No, why are you crying!"

Lian Ye was completely baffled by his friend's actions.

He doesn't seem to have bullied the other side!

It's hard to imagine the usually stoic Tuan Cang showing such a demeanor.

It's simply beyond comprehension!

If he had a camera on him, he'd record the highs and lows.

Then he'd take it back to his room to watch in secret...

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang clumsily wiped away their tears, trying to force an expression that nothing had happened.

But the tear stains on their face were unusually conspicuous.

"What on earth is wrong with you?"

Lian Ye didn't understand what had happened to his friend.

He was fine before; after a trip home, he became like this.

"I..."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang hesitated, fearing their next words would scare the other.

Some words are harmless when said to a girl, but are completely different when said to a boy.

They can't be sure Lian Ye will distance himself because of this!

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Lian Ye looked at their hesitant stance, growing more curious inside.

What exactly happened to Tuan Cang?

Could it be...

They probably guessed the reason.

It must be that the old brat Qianshou Feijian is preparing to hand the Hokage position over to Yuanfei Rizhan.

Tuan Cang was so upset he came running to him to cry like a wronged little daughter-in-law!

That's right, it must be!

At this moment, Lian Ye felt like he was Sherlock Holmes reincarnated.

He had deduced the reason with ease.

"Is it that the old man doesn't plan to hand the position of Hokage over to you?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lian Ye became even more certain of his guess.

"Tuan Cang, you know what?"

"In my opinion, you're fully capable of taking on the Hokage position. I'll go recommend you to the old man then—I believe you can become an excellent Hokage!"

He had finally managed to steer Tuan Cang onto the right path; if he turned dark and became a Pot Kage just because he lost the Hokage election, that would be a loss greater than the gain.

He had to go have a good talk with that old fellow Qianshou Feijian.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at Lian Ye before him, remembering how Uchiha Lian Yue in his dreams had comforted him just like this.

For a moment, his heart only felt stifled.

Seeing Tuan Cang's expression, Lian Ye felt his guess was correct.

"Don't worry, with me here, the Hokage position is eighty percent yours!"

He said with a smile.

He wasn't interested in the Hokage position at all; he could let Tuan Cang take it instead.

As for Ri Zhan?

He could just become the Fourth Hokage then.

"Thank you!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang, as if possessed, bent down and hugged Lian Ye, who was lying in the chair.

In his dreams, he often hugged his wife like this.

Lian Ye was stunned by Tuan Cang's sudden move.

It seemed his friend was really happy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him such a big hug.

But this guy's hug was lasting a bit too long.

He'd been hugging for so long already.

Wait, was this guy taking a deep breath through his lungs?!

He felt Tuan Cang take the chance to suck hard on the spot near his neck.

Hey, buddy!

Just as he was about to push Tuan Cang away, the sound of something heavy hitting the ground came from the doorway.

"Thud."

The fruit Xiaochun Zhuanqin was carrying in her hand rolled onto the ground, but she didn't even notice.

Her gaze fell on the two people in the yard.

She saw Lian Ye lying in the chair, while Tuan Cang was leaning over, hugging him.

That intimate feeling was like a loving husband and wife.

Ahhh!

What had she seen!!!

Lian Ye and Tuan Cang were secretly hugging!

Ahhh!

Xiaochun Zhuanqin's eyes lit up—she knew their relationship wasn't ordinary.

No wonder neither of them had found a partner even though they were both over twenty.

So they had already found their partners!

Hearing the commotion at the door and thinking of their current posture, Lian Ye and Tuan Cang were so startled they quickly pulled apart.

Oh no!

They couldn't be misunderstood, could they!

Lian Ye was terrified of letting others misunderstand his relationship with Tuan Cang.

Meanwhile, Tuan Cang hoped Lian Ye would understand his feelings, yet feared Lian Ye would understand them.

That feeling was truly contradictory.

Even now, he didn't know whether he liked the Uchiha Lian Yue from his dreams, or the good brother Lian Ye before his eyes...

"I didn't see anything!"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin immediately covered her eyes with her hands, but secretly peeked through her fingers to observe their expressions.

She had stumbled upon their secret.

They wouldn't kill her to silence her, would they!

Although she had had such suspicions long ago, the feeling of guessing and actually witnessing it with her own eyes was completely different.

It was too explosive.

Remembering the scene she had just seen, her face inexplicably flushed.

The ship she shipped had really gotten together.

She was beyond excited.

"You two carry on, I'll come see you another time. I'll remember to knock from now on..."

Xiaochun Zhuanqin frantically picked up the fruit scattered all over the ground.

Then she left in a flurry.

Having accidentally discovered a shocking piece of gossip, she had to share it with her friends.

She was sure those guys would be very interested!

Next, she went to the homes of several comrades-in-arms in turn.

She didn't come out until nightfall, and even then she was reluctant to leave.

It seemed she still hadn't talked enough.

PS: The author can't write the Heavenly Curtain; it feels both padded and boring, so I might as well let loose and write something exciting, hehehe…
