Chapter 300 The Free Wind [Combined Chapter]

"Hey, Xiaoyou, what do you think we should do to make our brother's temper a little worse?"

Youlu, who was napping on top of Ban's head, immediately raised his paw and patted Ban's head with a puzzled look on his face, "That kid's temper is bad enough, how much worse do you want him to be?"

Madara tilted his head and frowned, "…did it?"

"Huh, although you may be confused by being treated so gently, I have to say that you are quite slow."

Madara looked up at Ling who was lining up his team, and walked silently to his position. "I'm not saying that brother is a good person in the traditional sense. I just...well - I just hope that brother will stop communicating with others in this undignified way."

"But doesn't this affect his prestige in the hearts of others?" Youlu yawned and lay down again. "To be honest, your way of dealing with things is terrible."

Madara was silent for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Uchiha Hotaru and Uchiha Wenshu who were talking together. As expected, he saw that Uchiha Wenshu hiccuped in fear when his eyes met his, and Uchiha Hotaru also gave him a look full of blame.

Madara: ...It seems that I am indeed a little worse.

However, Ban still decided to persuade his brother in private, so he chose to come to Ling when the team was camping at night and discussed the issue with Ling with a stern face.

Instead, Ling held her cheeks, rubbed them with a look of satisfaction, and repeatedly praised her for being cute. Finally, she went to help others build the camp in a daze. It was not until she fell asleep that she suddenly came to her senses and pulled Ling aside to argue again.

"Brother, please stop trying to change the subject!" Ban tilted his head to avoid Ling's hand. "I am discussing this issue with you very seriously! Even if you don't mind, as the leader you shouldn't tolerate their insolence!"

Unable to rub his brother's face, Ling did not force it, and just said cheerfully, "I did ask for this before, after all, my duties at that time did not allow me to be too indulgent, but now... hehe, it's okay for me to indulge myself a little."

"Brother!"

Ling finally rubbed Madara's hair, "Okay, okay, go to sleep, we have to travel at full speed tomorrow. If Madara doesn't rest well now, it will be very tiring tomorrow - and after returning, Madara will have to follow the clan to receive guests from the Kurama clan. Now Madara might as well think more about this aspect."

"…Kurama?"

"Of course. After all, Madara is now the young leader, and he is almost at the right age to cultivate feelings... Well, it just so happens that our clan has a good relationship with the Kurama clan, and their clan is also good at illusions, so they are very good marriage candidates. If Madara likes someone, he should act as soon as possible."

Madara: ...Brother, what on earth are you talking about?!

But before Madara could express his confusion and shock, Uchiha Yunye, who was assigned to keep watch with Ling and was fiddling with the fire, spoke softly, "Brother Ling, before urging your brother, shouldn't you worry about yourself first? You are an adult."

"Oh, don't say that. I already have someone I like - I'm trying to find a way to win her over."

Uchiha Yunye didn't say anything this time. He just looked up and gave Ling a strange look, obviously not believing it.

Madara's already wide eyes widened even more - he was going to have a sister-in-law?! Who?! It couldn't be that Uchiha Kaiming who was not kind to his brother at all?!

Even Youlu, who was lying on Ling's legs enjoying the grooming service, couldn't help but raise his eyelids - he didn't see this guy expressing his affection for any member of the opposite sex, but...

Yulu was a little depressed. [When this guy gets married and starts a family, I should probably avoid suspicion more, right? After all, humans always care about these privacy issues...]

Ban also came back to his senses, raised his hand and grabbed the corner of Ling's clothes, "So who are you going to find, brother? It should be someone I know, right? And no matter what, the other party must be able to accept Xiaoyou's existence like us in order to become a family member. There are not many such people, right?"

"Ah, I can't say anything else, but you can rest assured about the last point," Ling smiled, "She will definitely be able to accept Xiaoyou and his family smoothly."

Youli tilted his head and made a nasal sound full of doubt.

Madara wanted to ask further questions, but Ling had no intention of continuing the conversation. He just tapped Madara's forehead and told him to go to bed.

The Uchiha clan was returning home smoothly, but the Hagoromo clan was in an extremely tense state.

Yuyi Anruo lowered his head and stood in the line without saying a word. Yuyi Mobai and others who were also responsible for the reception stood beside him, looking at him with worry.

Beside these people, there were other members of the Feathered Tribe standing scattered around. However, no matter how sad, worried, or angry their expressions were, one could not ignore the despair hidden deeper within.

In such a depressing atmosphere, Yu Yi An Ruo finally spoke, "You guys don't have to come. After all, this is not the first time I've been punished."

"It doesn't matter how many times this has happened!" Hane Nata clenched her fists, her voice trembling slightly because of her overly strong anger. "You know very well that if you just relax a little and give in to the elders, you don't have to come here at all!"

Yu Yi An Ruo just smiled good-naturedly when she heard this, "It's okay, this is my own will... and Naida, you know me, you know I won't compromise."

Hane Nata was so angry at his indifferent attitude that her lips turned white. She raised her finger and pointed at Hane Anruo, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Shan Yuyi Anruo turned her head as if she had reminded her of something, "Speaking of which, Aoi, if I survive this time, can I ask you for a favor?"

Aoi was stunned for a moment, and she took a deep breath to calm her emotions, so she didn't lose control of her emotions like Nata Haneiro, "...you say."

Listening to the voice coming from the front, ordering irrelevant personnel to leave, Yu Yi An Ruo smiled with a sense of relief, "Let me keep it a little suspense for now - after all, this is such a rebellious act."

Hearing this, Yuyi Mobai frowned, as if he had thought of something, but before he could ask, his brows relaxed again, "It doesn't matter, you should have done something outrageous a long time ago."

Yuyi Anruo smiled and said nothing more. She just followed the steps of the rest of the tribesmen as they walked into the hall ahead.

At this time, Hane Nada finally stopped pointing at Hane Anruo, but could not help but squat down and cover her face with her hands. Her voice was still trembling, but she was choked up, "...How could the clan treat him like this?"

Yuyi Mobai and Yuyi Aoi looked at each other, neither of them able to say a word of comfort.

At first, they gathered around Yuyi Anruo just because they didn't like fighting, trying to give each other some psychological comfort.

But as they came into contact with him, they began to believe that Yui Anruo could fundamentally change the clan they belonged to, so they spontaneously called on their companions to accomplish this.

But they were too cowardly.

They failed to resist the pressure from the clan, or they were afraid of the threat of death that existed before them. Even though they were extremely reluctant, they still chose to fight, betraying their original agreement.

But Yu Yi Anruo did not do so. Even when asked by the clan to hold the ceremony, he still firmly refused every mission involving invasion issued by the clan except guarding. He even worked harder in other aspects after surviving the ceremony, hoping that the clan could see their needs and make changes.

But as time went on, there were fewer and fewer people who could stick with him, so he had to hold the second ceremony.

He almost died during the ceremony, and was even unable to function normally for a long time after the ceremony.

But he still did not give up, and still tried his best to help every member of the tribe who had talent but was unwilling to fight, trying to help them find another way.

However, there are very few people who can face death calmly like him for a dream that they don’t know whether it can be realized. Just as he once said to Uchiha Haiming - their voices are too small.

It is so small that even though this is what most people expect, it still cannot be heard by the clan leader.

However, he always disobeyed orders, acted independently, yet was extremely talented and respected by the tribesmen. He was undoubtedly regarded as a threat by the clan. Therefore, after recovering from the second ceremony, he received the life and death order issued by the clan for the third time.

This also means that if he fails to complete this mission, he will have to participate in the life-threatening ritual for the third time.

But he violated the rules again.

He neither tried to intimidate the Uchiha clan nor used despicable means to extract information from them, so he was treated kindly by the Uchiha clan, but he also once again pushed himself into a desperate situation.

Looking at the hall that was already somewhat familiar to him, Yuyi Anruo smiled bitterly. It was said that when living in this world, one should learn from it if one gets himself into trouble just once, but he did the opposite, pushing himself to death again and again, knowing the consequences.

[Perhaps, I shouldn't have been born in this era... Haha, unable to change the times but unwilling to obey, Yuyi Anruo, you really deserve it. ]

Thinking of this, Yuyi Anruo couldn't help but shook her head and suppressed her bitterness. However, when she was about to step into the hall, she was stopped by the elders of the clan who were watching over her. "Anruo, people can't be lucky forever. Think about it carefully."

"Thank you for your kindness," Yuyi Anruo gently pressed down the tribe member's hand and smiled gently, "But I never regret the path I chose. If I die now, it will only mean that I am not good enough and I failed to clearly define myself, which led to my own bad consequences."

The guarding member of the Feathered Clothes tribe frowned, but in the end he just sighed, made way, and performed an ancient ritual for Feathered Clothes Anruo that was only performed when seeing off someone they respected.

Yuyi Anruo was stunned for a moment, then finally burst into laughter. After returning the greeting with the same ancient etiquette, she walked inside humming a tune.

The tribesmen who were watching could still vaguely hear the words he sang:

"Free wind, where do you come from?

I come from, I come from, the freest place.

Confused person, where should you go?

Going, going, my heart's original longing..."
