Chapter 230 Expectations in the Heart

"That's what I heard," Youlu raised his paw and let Ling wipe it with a soft cloth. "Although it was full of calculations, at least that woman didn't have any bad intentions."

"Really..." Ling gently pinched the soft pad of flesh, his voice relaxed, "In this case, we can rest assured for the time being."

Youlu did not withdraw his claws, but only looked up at Ling. "I am amazed by the various exchanges and calculations of humans in this regard. Just thinking about it makes the cat tired."

"Yeah, it's really tiring," Ling couldn't help but yawn, groped for the quilt and lay down, then pulled the cat into his arms, "Bonds and responsibilities are not something that can be easily let go."

Youlu stuck his head out and curled up at the side of Ling's neck, "It really doesn't make any sense."

"Hehe... let me put it another way," Ling gently rubbed Youlv's soft hair that was filled with the scent of sunshine, "Does Xiaoyou like the Sage of Six Paths?"

"I told you not to ask such stupid questions."

"If I die, will Xiaoyou be sad for me?"

Youlu immediately raised his head, staring at Ling with his heterochromatic eyes without blinking, and his voice was more unhappy, "What does this have to do with human intrigue?"

"Of course it is related. After all, most of the actions of living things are based on these two emotions. For example, your current attempt to like humans is not out of your true heart, right? After all, who would try to like a creature that hurts them over and over again? This is because you, Xiaomata, took the words of the Six Paths Sage as your own responsibility."

And then the journey fell silent again.

"Like Xiaoyou, I value these unforgettable bonds and responsibilities that cannot be abandoned. This is the fundamental reason why I am busy running around for these things," Ling's voice became lower and lower. "If possible, I don't want to do these things that I am not good at and are essentially boring. Fighting should be... mine..."

Looking at Ling who was already fast asleep, Yu Lu wanted to say something but he wiggled his tail irritably. However, he didn't wake Ling up in the end. He just quietly found a more comfortable position, curled up into a ball, closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap - this rascal always made the cat unhappy and made the cat helpless.

Although he was busy for a whole day and was only able to come back to rest in the early hours of the morning, Ling did not sleep for a long time. After all, this was an outsider's territory and not a safe place.

So Ling just slept until the voices of people on the street gradually rose, then he yawned and climbed out of bed, made his bed simply, took out the armor from the sealing scroll and put it on, then went to say goodbye to Feiying, and Feiying also took the opportunity to introduce Du to Ling.

Ling hesitated and nodded in agreement to Feiying's offer to take Du away by herself - after all, the basic way for the black market to become powerful is to continuously expand its trusted network of contacts. It is also natural for the other party to take the opportunity to expand their territory while agreeing to do things for their convenience. Besides, if a stable black market can be settled in the clan's civilian city, it will also be a good thing for the clan.

However, on the way, Du's constant and subtle probing made Ling feel a little tired. In the end, he could only quicken his pace in silence, making Du exhausted and no longer have the energy to plot with him.

After returning to the clan, Ling took advantage of his identity to report the matter of Feiying and Du to the clan. Uchiha Tajima also understood the importance of this, so he directly ordered the elders to help Du choose a place to settle down, and also asked the elders to help prepare all the subsequent permits to establish a black market business.

However, in Watari's eyes, this swift and neat action added a bit of fear and admiration. He even praised Uchiha's action ability in the secret letter handed to Feiying.

With the end of the war with the Senju clan, and the establishment and circulation of various intelligence in this new black market, Uchiha Masaki's confinement that had lasted for almost half a year was finally over. For this, Uchiha Masaki was even happy and brave enough to show off in front of Ling.

Ling didn't think too much about it. He just reminded Uchiha Masaki to be careful, then asked his tribesmen to find a long-term investigation mission in the neighboring Water Country and left in a hurry again.

Uchiha Masaki was disappointed, and after muttering, he didn't hesitate and just found a group that was gathering people and left with them. There was only coldness in his eyes - no matter whether it was the Senju or those damn nobles, anyone who was against Uchiha, he would investigate them one by one and crush them completely.

[Chiho, I will use the eyes you left me to bear everything you are unwilling to bear... So please don't rush to reincarnate, please let me change this world for you. I will let the name of Uchiha intimidate the ninja world, and I will also let you get true freedom.]

Thinking of this, Uchiha Masaaki clenched his fists slightly, and there was a little more expectation in his heart, [So when that time comes, please let me take the first step into your heart, I... will definitely respond to your feelings. ]

However, Uchiha Masaki left with this belief and did not realize that the object of his hatred had been replaced by all those who dared to oppose the Uchiha.

Or rather, even if he found out, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong. After all, wasn't Senju also someone who dared to go against Uchiha? It was just that there were more scumbags to deal with.

Ling, who also left his tribe and headed for the Water Kingdom, was full of expectations - the special metal he had been looking for for two years had finally been found.
