Chapter 285 Ling: I’m a little interested.

"On the premise of maintaining the clan's position..." Uchiha Haiming sighed lightly, with a hint of inexplicable melancholy between his brows, "Sometimes even if I feel that you are extremely indifferent, I have no way to refute you."

"Ah, thanks for the compliment."

"That's all you have to offer," Uchiha Haiming snorted, his voice full of regret, "You're such a pitiful and fortunate person."

"I understand the regret, but why are you happy?"

Uchiha Kaiming glanced at Uchiha Kenji who was blowing his nose, "Thank goodness that good guy wasn't born in our Uchiha - that kind of innocence wasn't ruined by some bastard."

Uchiha Masaki looked at Ling's helpless expression and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and gave Uchiha Haiming a thumbs up.

"Ling, that guy Yashu is doing something tricky. He secretly scolds you."

"Uchiha Kenji, I'm telling you not to slander good people!"

It would have been fine if Uchiha Masaki hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Uchiha Kenji exploded again, "You are not a good person at all! Coward! A coward! A broken nose! A bitch who can only steal other people's opponents!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Uchiha Haiming slammed his palm on the table, "Shut up, everyone! Especially you, Masaaki! You actually quarreled with Kenji, don't you feel ashamed at all?!"

Uchiha Masaki\u0026Uchiha Kenji: ...

For a moment they couldn't tell who this sentence was insulting.

After successfully silencing the audience, Uchiha Haiming turned his wrist and knocked on the table. "If you want to embarrass yourself, you will have plenty of opportunities to do so when you return to your rooms tonight or during the exchange tomorrow. But if you continue to waste my time and force me to work overtime with Ling, I can't guarantee that I won't transfer my anger towards him to you next."

Uchiha Masaaki suddenly put on a mask of pain as if he remembered something, and became quiet.

But Uchiha Kenji obviously didn't get Uchiha Haiming's explosive point, and he was still holding Ling's calf trying to argue, but the next moment he opened his mouth, he felt a force on his head, and with it came Ling's helpless voice -

"Xian Si, I'm really tired today. I really don't have the extra energy to comfort you, so please, let's talk together another day. I will listen carefully then."

Uchiha Kenji then curled his lips, looking quite depressed, and after calming down for a while, he spoke, "I only heard them say that if they failed this time, the weakling would be sent to a third time to perform some ritual that would kill people and become some kind of nutrient, and that this was a contribution or something. I wanted to hear more, but who knew that the weakling had super sensitive perception!

I thought it was just a coincidence and wanted to avoid him! But I had already avoided the restrictions set by the other clan, and he was still following me like a ghost, muttering things like "It would be great if there was peace, then there would be no need to be too suspicious", "Everyone has their own characteristics, but we should still be polite", "Maybe he is also a good person, and I should trust his companions more" and so on!

What’s even worse is that the guy always forces me to take the route with the most restrictions, and he always looks at my hiding place with a look of remorse and pity, and then he doesn’t expose me and helps me cover up! He is simply a psychopath! He is definitely deliberately humiliating and torturing me! Absolutely! "

No one paid attention to Uchiha Kenji's complaining mumbling. The other three people present all paid attention to the "ritual" and "nutrients" in his words.

"Two unpleasant words..." Uchiha Haiming lowered his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of anger, "Ha, now that I think about it, it would be better to let you, a jerk, ruin his kind character."

Uchiha Masaki didn't look very comfortable either. Apparently, when these two words were combined together, they could give people enough associations even without too much introduction. "When I think about it, I'm lucky not to have been born in Yuyi..." Although he also felt particularly unfortunate to be of the same generation as Ling.

Ling's mind finally understood - no wonder the other party's chakra gave people a feeling of emptiness and grandeur.

[Perhaps the abilities of the Hagoromo clan are not as bad as what Yataru said. On the contrary, they are very difficult to deal with. This is why the ninja clan led by Senju attacked them and had to face defeat. There was also a ritual that would kill people...]

Ling tapped the table lightly. [Hmm, it sounds like an ability that can forcibly plunder others, and Yuyi Anruo... Did Yuyi turn his external plundering to internal after his defeat? It's really a bad move that was pushed to the limit by desperation - but this ritual is quite interesting. It would be nice if I could get more detailed information...]

Uchiha Kenji finally regained his composure at this point, sitting cross-legged on the ground and participating in the discussion. "It's a good thing we didn't plan to form an alliance with this group of people. You know, the Senju guys won't sacrifice their own people. After all, sacrifice can only be considered a sacrifice if it's voluntary. If it's not voluntary, it's just forcing people to die."

"Yes," Uchiha Masaki also echoed with a sigh, "Even when I was most unwilling to fight, the clan never thought of giving up on me, and even wanted to help me find a more acceptable growth direction... I really can't imagine why a clan would choose to sacrifice its own members to gain something."

"You don't have to worry about this. I heard rumors before that the clan has no intention of forming an alliance with Yuyi, but..." Uchiha Haiming raised his eyes to look at Ling who was immersed in thought, "I also heard that it was you and the clan leader who proposed to reject this matter. Did you investigate Yuyi before that?"

Ling finally came back to his senses from his thoughts and laughed, "Forget about the others, but how could you think of me like this?"

"Humph, isn't it? No matter what you do, you arrange everything on your own and only reveal everything after the war. If you are determined to hide something, who can pry your mouth open?" Uchiha Haiming crossed his arms, "So, how much effort did you put into this matter?"

"Our two tribes have almost no overlapping missions and are very far apart. Even if they wanted to investigate me, they would have no way to find out. I told my father that I didn't want to form an alliance with them just to facilitate my ambitions. The current situation can only be regarded as a coincidence."

Ling tapped the table lightly and chuckled, "But now I do have some ideas about forming an alliance - I kind of want to get that ceremony."

Uchiha Haiming's eyebrows rose, and the curse words were on the verge of his mouth, but he still held his temper, narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "...Where do you want to use it?"

"Don't you think the witch of the Ghost Country would really need something that can continuously consume power and provide nutrients?" Ling's smile spread a little, "After all, she has been troubled by a large problem."
