Chapter 785: Uncle, Your Heart Beats So Fast

Several years later.

Lian Yue graduated smoothly from the Ninja School.

It is worth mentioning that her Cultural Class grades were still poor.

Fortunately, with Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's diligent tutoring, her Cultural Class score rose from five to twenty.

Feijian grew increasingly displeased the more he looked at Tuan Cang.

He had originally planned to assign the squad that Tuan Cang belonged to a mission that required a long stay away from the Village.

But since Lian Yue was also in it, the matter could only be left unresolved.

At thirteen, Lian Yue shed the childish naivety and greenness; her brows and eyes gradually relaxed, and her figure became slender and upright.

Her previously slightly rounded cheeks thinned into gentle contours.

Her skin was fair and delicate.

Her eyes were clear and bright; when she smiled, the corners curled, and when she was quiet they carried a faint, cool aloofness.

"Uncle, it's time to eat,"

Lian Yue carried the dishes to the table and called out to Feijian in the living room.

"Coming,"

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and looked at the poised young lady opposite him.

In the blink of an eye, six years passed.

The little girl of the past had begun to grow up.

The thought of having to cheapen the blond hair in the future made his heart ache to the point of breathlessness.

Especially that Zhi Cun Tuan Zang!

He knows nothing but clinging to Lian Yue all day long; if they weren't in the same squad—

He would have long ago assigned him to another country as an undercover.

"Uncle, Tuan Cang invited me to carry out a mission tomorrow,"

Feijian frowned slightly, his tone a bit displeased.

"Didn't you just return?"

It was only after learning that she had returned from the mission that he left the office and went home.

He wanted to get along with her properly.

But after just coming back, he had to leave home again.

Damned Tuan Cang!

"Tuan Cang says only constant fighting can make one stronger," Uchiha Lian Yue said seriously, "When I become stronger later, I can protect you, Uncle."

Feijian felt warmth in his heart; indeed, she is the child he raised from childhood!

"Then be careful on the way."

Saying that, he seemed to recall something and added again.

"Don't get too close to that Tuan Cang kid, and certainly avoid any physical contact!"

"Got it, Uncle!"

Uchiha Lian Yue smiled and agreed.

The old one's possessiveness grew stronger.

Wait a bit longer; there's definitely fun to watch later.

What a pity, this matter cannot be let the Transmigrator know; it would lose a person who could share the joy.

"Uncle, goodbye!"

Before parting, Uchiha Lian Yue was reluctant to stop hugging Feijian.

"Wait for me to return!"

Saying that, the girl turned away reluctantly.

Only Feijian remained at the doorway, silently watching the girl's departing silhouette.

He didn't know what she was thinking…

A few years later.

Because Senju Hashirama had "passed away," other nations launched a war against the Fire Country.

The ninja went to the Battlefield to slay enemies.

"Stay by my side; don't go to the front lines,"

Inside the Commander Camp.

Feijian's expression was solemn.

War differs from ordinary missions; he does not want the girl to suffer any mishap.

Even if this might cause other ninja to harbor resentment.

But so what?

"Uncle, I can protect myself!"

Uchiha Lian Yue's expression was stubborn, unwilling to accept this arrangement.

"Nonsense!"

Feijian barked sharply.

Having been adopted for ten years, she was frightened for the first time, and tears burst uncontrollably from her eyes.

Seeing this, Feijian's heart softened, and he gently brushed the girl's tears with the pad of his finger.

"I was only worried you might encounter danger…"

"Uncle, I said I'd protect you well!"

Uchiha Lianyue's expression turned serious as she activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

"Fine then."

Under the girl's insistence, he finally relented.

"Uncle, you're my favorite."

She hugged the other person excitedly.

Qianshou Feijian felt the girl's delicate body in his arms and was momentarily at a loss.

Not knowing what to do, he could only stand there stupidly.

Sixteen‑year‑old Lian Yue had already grown into a graceful, elegant figure.

It was completely different from how she felt at thirteen.

Watching the girl's silhouette as she left the camp tent, Qianshou Feijian's eyes flashed with turmoil.

Is his feeling for Lian Yue truly just a foster father's concern for his foster daughter?

Perhaps it's mixed with other emotions…

Lian Yue's squad fell into an ambush by Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, facing the brothers wielding Six Paths Ninja Tools and Tail Beast Transformation.

They gained no advantage.

By the time Qianshou Feijian learned the news and headed to the front line, everyone was lying on the ground, severely wounded.

"Girl!"

He hurriedly approached the girl.

At this moment Lian Yue's abdomen had been pierced by a sharp blade, and massive blood loss made her complexion unusually pale.

"Uncle, you finally came."

The girl's voice was weak and trembling.

"I thought I'd never have a chance to see you again…"

As she spoke, she brushed his cheek with a blood‑stained hand, tears sliding down her face.

"No, nothing will happen to you!"

Qianshou Feijian immediately scooped up the girl and used Flying Thunder God to return to the camp.

He arranged a Medical Ninja to treat the girl.

Although he wanted to stay with the girl, the front‑line matters were not over.

When he dealt with the gravely wounded Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao and returned with the few unconscious, severely injured people.

He immediately, with a nervous heart, found Lian Yue.

He feared losing the girl like that, but fortunately she survived thanks to her great luck and strong life.

"Uncle, you're here."

"Hmm."

Qianshou Feijian's complexion wasn't very good.

Had he not arrived in time, there probably wouldn't have been another chance to see each other.

"Uncle, please don't be angry, okay?"

Qianshou Feijian gave no reply.

He planned to use this opportunity to send the girl back to the Village.

You cannot return to the Battlefield until the war ends!

"Uncle~"

Lian Yue struggled to sit up from the bed and gently opened her arms toward him.

"May I hug you?"

Seeing this, Qianshou Feijian's pupils suddenly constricted, and watching the girl's hopeful expression, his heartbeat began to quicken.

"Alright…"

With nervous feelings, he stepped forward and embraced the girl.

"Uncle, you're my favorite."

Uchiha Lianyue buried her head in his arms, her eyes full of calculation.

Old thing!

Do you like the perfect dream I wove for you?

Kekeke!

Uchiha Lianye's Genjutsu is powerful, even capable of briefly entering a Genjutsu.

He occasionally entered it to control Lian Yue and make some intimate moves with her.

Qianshou Feijian's Genjutsu was dozens of times stronger than Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's Genjutsu…

I really look forward to the old thing's reaction after waking up!

"Uncle, your heartbeat is so fast."

Uchiha Lianyue listened to his increasingly rapid heartbeat, her voice soft.

The listener's body grew warm.

Qianshou Feijian swallowed, his thoughts a tangled mess.

He didn't understand what was happening to him.

The girl had often embraced him before, but this time the feeling was different from usual.

"Uncle, why aren't you speaking?"

Uchiha Lianyue looked up at him with watery eyes.

"Are you still angry at me…"

Saying that, the girl gently nudged her head against his neck.

"Please don't be angry anymore, okay~"

Qianshou Feijian suddenly harbored an evil thought.

Startled, he immediately let go of the girl.

"I have something to take care of; you rest here properly."

Watching his hurried retreat, Uchiha Lianyue's mouth twitched upward.

"Looks like we can cast the net soon."

"Heh heh heh!"

He finally understood why Madara Uchiha needed to perform the Infinite Moon Reading.
