Chapter 176 Two Women Invited to Choose One

After staying in the manor for another twenty minutes, Liuyun found an excuse and got up to leave.

But before he could leave the Uchiha clan's territory, a female Chunin from the family blocked his way.

"Mr. Liuyun, please stay..."

Liuyun frowned subconsciously when he saw this.

"The Third Elder asked me to invite Mr. Liuyun to come over and sit down." The female ninja first bowed, and then directly explained the purpose of her visit.

"Is there anything wrong?" Liuyun asked expressionlessly.

Liuyun knew exactly why the old man was looking for him, but he was no longer interested in playing nice with him. After all, he had already had an unpleasant experience with him last time.

"!!!"

The female ninja was obviously stunned when she saw Liuyun's expression, and then she hurriedly explained: "The third elder didn't say anything, he just asked me to wait for Liuyun-kun here..."

"Go back and tell him..."

"Liuyun-kun!!!"

Before Liuyun finished speaking, a girl's voice was heard from a distance.

Seeing the girl trotting towards him with a smile on her face, Liuyun couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

"Ms. Mikoto...why are you here?!"

The person who came was Uchiha Mikoto, who could barely be considered his classmate.

"Grandpa asked me to come and invite you. I wonder if Liuyun-kun is free to come over and sit with us?" Uchiha Mikoto invited with a chuckle.

"Excuse me for asking, Miss Mikoto, who is your grandfather?" Liuyun asked, scratching his head.

"My grandfather is the second elder of the Uchiha clan."

"..."

Liuyun was a little puzzled. Why did all these elders rush over to invite him? They didn't talk to him much during the previous gatherings...

"Ms. Mikoto..." The female ninja bowed to Uchiha Mikoto.

"Sister, are you... also here to see Liuyun-kun?" Uchiha Mikoto asked in surprise after returning the salute.

The female Chunin thought for a while after hearing this, and then simply nodded, but did not reveal the invitation of the Third Elder to Uchiha Mikoto.

But the next moment Liu Yun took the initiative to point out her purpose: "This person was sent by the Third Elder to invite me, and you were sent by the Second Elder..."

"The two elders really have the same idea. Which elder should I go to?"

Liuyun couldn't help but shook his head and laughed as he spoke.

The two girls were silent for a moment because of his words, and they were also hesitating whether to persevere and complete the task assigned by the adults.

But before the two women could speak, Liuyun looked at the female Chunin helplessly:

"Two elders invited me at the same time, and it would be awkward for me to refuse either of them... But Miss Mikoto is my old classmate after all, so I have to go when my classmate invites me, so I can only apologize to the third elder..."

"Mr. Liuyun, you are too polite. Please go ahead, Mr. Liuyun will come over to keep the appointment when he is free..."

"must……"

The female ninja did not insist, but instead bowed and left tactfully.

Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, were walking side by side on the road. Uchiha Mikoto would secretly glance at the handsome boy beside her from time to time, her eyes full of admiration, and even a faint blush on her cheeks.

Liuyun did not notice the girl's shyness and peeping, but Uchiha Mikoto's perfume smelled particularly good, which made his breathing unconsciously heavier...

'Why does this perfume smell familiar, as if I've smelled it somewhere before...' For some reason, this thought flashed through Liuyun's mind.

"Hehe... Thank you, Liuyun-kun, for coming with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to invite anyone and grandpa would complain to me again..." Uchiha Mikoto smiled sweetly as she looked at the young man.

"Haha, Miss Mikoto personally invited me, how dare I refuse? I can't refuse you even if I have to refuse the elders..." Liuyun looked at her and joked.

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned at first when she heard that, and then she burst into laughter. As a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family, she would cover her mouth to hide her teeth even if she was amused.

"By the way, Ryuun-kun is now a famous hero of Konoha. I heard from Kushina that your classmates are going to hold a celebration party for you as a Jonin..."

"Can I also participate then? After all, Liuyun-kun is the only jonin in our entire grade!"

Uchiha Mikoto looked at him hopefully.

"Haha, I've heard about this from Kushina. Of course I welcome Miss Mikoto. It's my honor that you can come..." Liuyun said with a smile.

"Haha...it's settled then. I will also prepare a gift for Liuyun-kun when the time comes." Uchiha Mikoto's cheeks flushed slightly and she looked very happy.

"Don't bother with that much thought, just come and it will be fine..."

"That's not possible..."

The two talked and laughed along the way, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Uchiha Mikoto's home. Liuyun also met the second elder of the Uchiha clan again.

"Haha, kid, you're here!"

When the second elder saw Liuyun coming, he immediately stood up to greet him with a friendly attitude, without any airs at all.

"Meet the Second Elder..."

Liuyun bowed, then sat down at the signal of the second elder. Uchiha Mikoto obediently brought two cups of fragrant tea.

"I wonder what the Second Elder wants to talk to me about?" Liuyun asked directly.

"Haha, it's nothing serious. It's mainly about your family's real estate in the clan's territory."

"This time you have made great contributions outside and have been promoted to a jonin. The family has decided to give you the good house and land you deserve. I happen to be in charge of this aspect, so I would like to ask if you have taken a fancy to any good location in the family. I can buy it for you..."

"But I heard that you and your son moved to live outside the clan. Can you tell me what happened?"

The second Uchiha elder explained the reason for the invitation in one breath and asked about his situation.

Liuyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that the second elder of Uchiha would look for him for this kind of thing.

There are many benefits to being promoted to a jonin in Konoha, and allocating a house and land is one of them.

However, the Uchiha clan's land distribution rights are firmly in the hands of the family, and most of the benefits are rewarded to their own ninjas by the family on behalf of Konoha. This is why most people in the Uchiha clan are more loyal to the family.

"There's no need for a house or anything like that. The main reason is that my mother and I are not happy living in the family, so we moved out." Liuyun thought for a while and refused the so-called land reward.

"!!!"

The second Uchiha elder seemed very surprised when he heard this, even Uchiha Mikoto, who had been keeping quiet beside him, showed a surprised look.

"Can you explain the reason? If you have any troubles or grievances, just tell me. I promise I can help you solve it."

The second Uchiha elder asked again. He was not from the Liuyun lineage, so naturally he didn't know why the Liuyun family moved away from their clan land.

"Thank you for your kindness, Second Elder. It's actually not a big deal. It's just that my mother is a foreign woman, and she was originally from the Senju clan. It's inevitable that she will receive strange looks and be excluded by some people..."

Originally, Liuyun didn't know that Asuka was related to the Senju clan. He only found out when he was drinking and chatting with Tsunade and accidentally heard her say that Asuka had some ethnic relationship with her.

"I felt uncomfortable living in the clan land, so I just moved out. It doesn't matter whether my home is in the clan land or not. What matters is that my mother and I live happily."

Liuyun spoke his mind openly, and just two simple sentences brought the topic to a close.
