Chapter 164 Ling's attitude towards his other half

Uchiha Masaki had to spend a lot of time talking to finally convince his crying brother that he had no intention of abandoning him, let alone committing suicide. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Ling standing beside him. His hands shook unconsciously, "You... didn't say anything weird to my brother, did you?"

Ling shook his head helplessly, "Yashu, you are too biased towards me... If you really want to count, it's you who always say weird things to my brother."

Uchiha Masaki turned his head uncomfortably and pulled his brother to stand up, "I'll take Wen Shu back first, we'll talk about it later if there's anything."

Ling just nodded gently, "Okay, I'll come find you later."

Uchiha Akihiko crossed his arms and watched the brothers leave. "Well, it turned out to be a good result despite the unintentional plan."

"So it wasn't my plan, it was just a coincidence..."

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence..." Uchiha Akihiko nodded perfunctorily, obviously not believing it, and just brought up another topic, "Have you visited Hong? How is he?"

Ling's smile faded when he heard this. "It is said that too many nerves around the eyes were severed, causing the brain to be compressed and fall into a coma. His life is not in danger, but he will probably need some time to recover... How are you doing?"

Uchiha Akihiko subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his eye, "The damage is a bit serious. Now there are double images in my eyes, but it doesn't affect my daily life... I just have to be more careful when I use it next time - to be honest, I think the joke I made at the beginning is coming true."

"Ok?"

"That's the blind squad..." Uchiha Akihiko sighed, "If I keep having these kinds of high-intensity battles, I won't be able to survive until adulthood, but I'll definitely be blind within three years."

Ling's hand holding the cane and knife tightened slightly, "So I really have to work hard for my unrealistic wish..."

"Huh? What?"

"No, nothing..." Ling sighed and avoided the topic. "By the way, what happened to Yashu? You may not feel it clearly, but from my perception, his pupil power has experienced a terrifying increase... What did you do?"

Uchiha Akihiko was stunned, thinking back to what they had done that afternoon. After thinking fruitlessly, he whispered to Ling about Uchiha Masaki's reactions and words in detail.

"Well, if it's true as you said, that Yashu feels nauseous because of the praise from the tribesmen, then it's indeed a bit worrying..." Ling lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Also, the fact that the pupil power will increase due to excessive emotions after opening the eyes is also particularly worrying..."

"Don't just talk about us, what about your condition?" Uchiha Akihiko waved his hand and looked at Ling, "When Chiho died, you panicked."

"It's impossible not to panic, right?" Ling took a deep breath and let it out, "The person I've always taken care of as my sister died in front of me, and I was powerless to do anything. I couldn't even see her for the last time. I could only say these pale words to say goodbye..."

"You really did a good job of covering it up at that time. You were able to calmly stop Ya Shu from talking, and then you were able to communicate so calmly with the elders in the clan."

"That's too much... I'm not emotionless." Ling complained softly, "What kind of image do you think I have in your eyes now?"

But this time, Uchiha Akihiko did not end the topic with a joke, but continued to ask, "Hey, Ling, have you really never been moved by Chiho?"

Ling tilted his head slightly, "Huh? Why are you asking that suddenly?"

Uchiha Akihiko lowered his eyes slightly, and thought of Chiho's last move, even though her pupils began to dilate, she still looked at Ling stubbornly, and frowned slightly, "Enough, don't ask so many questions, just answer me."

"No."

"Once?"

"Well, not even once." Ling gently stroked the handle of the cane knife, "I am different from you. Even if you have outstanding talents, you still yearn for comfort in your heart. Even if I am exhausted after fighting for many days, my heart will still look forward to the next battle.

If I had not been born into a ninja clan and was just a wanderer, I would also end up going on a journey of conquest... I can even say that without a family or ties, I would only be more sharp. I am the kind of person who was born for battle.

But forming a family requires both parties to give enough love to it. I am an unstable person and a person who cannot settle down. If it is an arranged marriage, it would be fine. After all, it is just a transaction between two parties. As long as both parties fulfill their basic obligations, it is enough. I can still devote myself to the battlefield that I love most.

But if it is someone who likes me that much, I have no confidence and no reason to be with her, because I am destined not to be able to love her as much as she loves me..."

At this point, Ling paused slightly, "As a member of the Uchiha clan, I know very well how sensitive our clan is to the emotions reflected by others, and how many ridiculous things we will do because of this sensitivity... So if you can't respond to the other person's love, it's better to decisively refuse from the beginning and not give meaningless expectations. This will be good for both of you."

Uchiha Akihiko stared at Ling for a while, and finally sighed, "The person who likes you is really pitiful. He can only get a response when he is your enemy."

"Eh? Why do you say that?" Ling looked a little surprised. "It's a little strange to like your enemies, right? Although I can be considered a weirdo... I just like fighting with them."

"That idiot Uzumaki was bewitched by you, and now he loves you to death, right?" Uchiha Akihiko curled his lips and finally chose to change the subject. "I met him when I had a mission conflict with Uzumaki before. He chased me like a pervert and asked when you could return to the battlefield. He also said that he had practiced sealing techniques hard, and was waiting to capture you alive and drink with you..."
