Chapter 310: The incredible gossip among the nobles [Combined Chapter]

After Uchiha Jingxin finished speaking, he finished his cigarette with a melancholy look on his face, then pretended to dust himself off and raised his hand to hang up a business sign for his shop.

[Do you like it? It's such a luxury.] Uchiha Haiming stood there, looking up at the blue, clear and pure sky unconsciously. After a moment, he couldn't help shaking his head, "I don't know how that guy will explain his little thoughts to the clan leader in the end... Forget it, I don't care about him, humph."

But having said that, that night, Uchiha Haiming still went to Ling's house to ask someone about An Ruo.

"What on earth were you thinking? You actually just left the people you invited there and went off to do something as boring as clearing up the mess."

"An Ruo is a sensible person. If he is not attracted to us, we cannot keep him by force. Even if I respond, it will not be very effective."

Ling took off his bloodstained coat, "Besides, clearing out prisoners is not boring. It is a rare entertainment for me during the truce period. Not to mention that the Qianshou side is slower than us this year, and they left two strongholds without retreating in time. When the year comes to an end, we can use these prisoners to exchange with the Qianshou to determine some issues related to interests and retaining prisoners for the coming year...

Ah, speaking of this, next year, due to the intervention of the Feathered Ones, the conflict between our clan and the Senju will not be so intense. As a preparation for re-entering the battlefield, do you want to go with me to the River Country and fight against the Whirlpool or the Blood Pond? Yi should also bring his good fighters to the appointment, and you can practice with him then, and..."

Uchiha Haiming was no longer listening to what Ling was saying behind her. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "So, if An Ruo finally chooses to leave, what will you do?"

Ling paused, turned to the direction of Uchiha Haiming, and stroked his chin, "What will I do? Um... Are you sure it's not something you don't want me to do? Don't deny it - you're being too obvious and eager.

If you have any ideas, just tell me directly and boldly. You know, when there is advance time, I will choose to compromise with you in most cases.

Of course, if it is something related to An Ruo, you can think about it for a while and tell me a definite answer after the New Year... The answer of the heart is always simple, but it is not easy to touch. "

"...I know. I lost my sense of proportion this time. I will think about it carefully." Uchiha Haiming pinched his fingertips again, pursed his lips tightly, and spoke after a long time, "Tell me about your plan? Why do you have to go to the River Country? Anyway, Uzumaki and that, uh, Blood Pond have gone there, wouldn't it be better to let them fight and consume their energy?"

"But Yi said that Chuan Country has an opportunity to make people stronger, and I don't want to miss it - and he hasn't given me the information he promised me."

"How do you know he didn't lie to you? Those guys have much more evil intentions than the Thousand Hands."

"It's okay!" Ling gave Uchiha Haiming a thumbs up, "I've prepared a trump card for him. If he dares to make a move, I'll give him an unforgettable memory for the rest of his life - so how about it, do you want to go with me?"

"You actually used the word 'again' to describe it... Seriously, you're not using your little tricks to hide the secret things between you and that weird red-haired guy, are you?"

Ling's movements froze for a moment, and he spoke after a long while, "...As expected, you also think that his attitude towards me is a little bit abnormal, right? Well, as expected, I still need to make more preparations. After all, he invited me to the place. It would be bad if I was ambushed and couldn't use my trump card."

[Is this where your focus is?] Uchiha Haiming showed an extremely disgusted expression for a moment, [I'm asking about you and your damn cat!]

"Ah, if you're talking about Xiaoyou, then I'm serious - you know, I don't lie." Ling showed a slightly distressed look, "But how should I put it, Xiaoyou, she didn't realize this at all, am I too reserved?"

"You bastard, I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding of what is implicit..." Uchiha Haiming sighed, "I understand the situation, I will reply to you before the end of the year - but I still advise you to consider the latter matter carefully, it is not an option that can be easily accepted.

Although I always say that you are cold-blooded and have difficulty empathizing with others, I don't mean to force you to become a pervert... Can't you do anything to set an example now?"

"This is really sad..."

"Can you think about your actions before you say that? Do you think it's wrong for a human to fall in love with--"

"Well, rather than my question, I would like to discuss with you the details of the reception for the Kurama clan..."

Seeing Ling changing the subject, Uchiha Haiming snorted again, but still followed Ling's words and seriously discussed the matter about the Kurama clan - after all, compared to Ling's little trick of delaying for who knows when it will be exposed and cause trouble, the Kurama clan that will arrive in a few days is obviously much more important.

……

"Hey, An Ruo, are you out shopping again? Isn't it too tiring? You and Ling kid should be friends, right? As long as you tell him, he will help you arrange this kind of thing."

"Ling has helped me a lot, so I won't trouble him with such a small matter... I have to get used to it." An Ruo smiled and greeted the owner of the fruit and vegetable shop, "Thank you for saving the goods for me. It's really a big help."

"Oh, it's not a big deal..."

An Ruo exchanged a few more words with the owner of the fruit and vegetable shop, then placed the things carefully on her lap, said goodbye, and slowly pushed the wheel to move herself forward along the street. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that the Uchiha people were really an overly pure and extremely easy-to-get-along-with clan.

Just because Ling took me around for a while, he treated me like a real family member and took good care of me and made things convenient for me in every way.

[But... it will be hard to leave after this.] An Ruo sighed secretly in her heart, [No wonder the ninja world always says that the Uchiha clan is a clan with extreme love and hate - if pure kindness leads to betrayal, the consequences will certainly be extremely strong. I don't think the Uchiha high-level officials need to take action. These people who have retired from the battlefield and started ordinary lives are enough to make me disappear quietly.]

Thinking of this, An Ruo couldn't help but shook her head - this was really a dilemma.

After sighing again, An Ruo raised her head and looked around, finally fixing her gaze on the crow standing on the corner of the eaves, carefully combing its feathers, and waved with her hand.

The crow stopped combing its feathers, flapped its wings and flew towards An Ruo. After circling for a while, it landed on the handle of the wheelchair. "Is there anything I can tell you about?"

"Yata, do I need to do anything to avoid the Kurama clan when they come?"

"That's not necessary. The master told you to be more casual. Besides, the Kurama clan and our clan are old friends. Neither side will mind this."

"Is that so... Is it convenient for me to go to the black market? I want to write a letter to my old friend and ask for some information."

Yata tilted his head and replied after thinking for a moment, "I see. Please follow this road and turn left at the third intersection. I will take you to the nearest black market merchant. Please don't worry about the funds. They will be directly credited to the master's account."

"Yes, please convey my gratitude to Ling later... By the way, if possible, please take me to the black market where Ling often contacts people."

"I understand...but why don't you tell the master in person?" Yata leaned over to look at An Ruo's expression, "The master really values ​​you."

"Maybe it's because we are still investigating each other..." An Ruo chuckled, "In fact, I always wonder what it would be like if we could be in the same clan from the beginning."

"Gah?"

"We should... No, we'll definitely have a lot to talk about."

Yata looked at An Ruo who was laughing to herself, and still felt that it was difficult for her as a crow to understand human thoughts. She just wrote them all down and would tell her master when she returned, leaving the human to worry about it herself.

After writing a letter of safety to Aoi Yui, An Ruo asked about the Senju and Uchiha's evaluation of each other - this matter could actually be clarified by just asking any Uchiha who had been on the battlefield, but in order to avoid those sensitive Uchiha from thinking too much or adding fuel to the fire, An Ruo chose to ask the black market personnel led by Ling.

"That's the situation. I hope my information is helpful to you." Du looked at An Ruo calmly, and after a little bit of hesitation, he said, "Excuse me, if you want to know these things, you can ask Lord Ling. After all, Lord Ling is barely a member of the Uchiha clan, and he is one of the few people who has a biased opinion of outsiders and knows a lot about them."

"Hehe... maybe it's because I can't befriend him so blatantly right now?" An Ruo laughed, "But I really didn't expect that the two tribes could have such a tacit understanding with each other after nearly a hundred years of hostility... Thank you, I heard something very interesting."

"No, it's just a normal transaction. You don't need to thank me." Du glanced at Yata who was combing his feathers on the shelf nearby. "In fact, before I came here as a contact person, I heard an interesting story about Senju and Uchiha from the nobles."

"Oh? May I know?"

Du retracted his gaze and looked at An Ruo in front of him, his face still as calm as a pool of stagnant water, "The nobles always say that it was a lustful Senju who went to the Land of Lightning a hundred years ago and provoked the head of the Uchiha clan. Then the current head of the Uchiha clan abused his power for personal gain and directly led the clan to settle in the Land of Fire and deliberately chose the Nanga River where the Senju lived to settle, and chose them as opponents without hesitation, just to avenge the other party for playing with their feelings.

Well, it is worth mentioning that, because the two tribes are evenly matched in strength and always have a tacit understanding in their actions, this statement is very convincing among the ladies and young ladies of the nobility - there are even many related storybooks circulating in private, and it can even be said that they sell very well. "

An Ruo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at Yata who was about to fall off the shelf, and lowered her head awkwardly to adjust the blanket on her legs - the nobles' ability to spread gossip was really amazing.
