"You... You are…"
"Zilai Ye, long time no see."
"Lord Ye Ying."
Even if he was self-reliant, when facing Ye Ying, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Once upon a time, Ye Ying was the most admired person by the three of them.
Although Okami had fallen for Ye Ying, she could only helplessly suppress her love.
It was only after Ye Ying disappeared that he started to love Tsunei again.
The moment he saw Ye Ying, he immediately understood.
The disappearance of three generations of old men, the death of Tanzo, Okami's cooperation and blissful smile, the strange order to find Orochimaru, and even the drastic changes in the Uchiha clan and the village...
Only the person in front of him had the courage and ability to make such drastic changes in a short period of time without harming the interests of the village.
Thinking back to the happy expression on Okami's face just now, he smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had no chance at all.
"I really didn't expect you to have already returned.”
Ye Ying naturally knew what Zirai was thinking, so he pointed at a chair.
"Have a seat."
Ye Ying said after he sat down.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Zilai was stunned. What was it? There were indeed many things that had happened just now, but now…Nothing.
"Are you really alright?"
"Uh, yes."
"Speak."
"I want to know what exactly you plan to do…"
"Plans?"
"Yes."
"Didn't you come to your own conclusion?”
"I..."
Seeing that Zilai was in a daze, he seemed to be unable to accept the sudden change in everything.
Ye Ying asked seriously.
"The problem isn't with me, but with you. It's what you plan to do, right?”
Zilai was a little stunned. Why was it his problem again?
But after thinking about it, Zi Lai also quickly understood what Ye Ying meant.
Yes, everything was already set in stone. What should be let go should be let go, and where should he go from here?
"Lord Ye Ying, Orochimaru, he…"
Ye Ying smiled faintly.
"It's okay. He's already here."
"What?"
Just as Zilai was on high alert, the ceiling was covered in mud, and a strange figure slowly extended out.
Who else could it be but Orochimaru?
Orochimaru landed steadily on the ground. Although he sounded relaxed, he was filled with fear and vigilance.
"As expected of the super genius Lord Ye Ying. It seems that you already knew I was here.”
Ye Ying didn't deny it and waved away the few members of the Dark Forces who had rushed in upon hearing the commotion.
"I knew you would come."
Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and looked at Kirai.
"I'm not like some fools who are so ill-informed.”
"Orochimaru, you! Since you knew about it, why didn't you tell me?”
Orochimaru spread his hands.
"You didn't ask. Besides, I'm a traitor. Even I, a traitor, got wind of it, but you, a real Woodleaf Ninja, didn't know at all. Is this a kind of irony?”
"You…"
It was still the same, fighting the moment they met.
They were like natural enemies, both uncomfortable with each other.
Orochimaru no longer paid any attention to Selaiya and looked at Ye Ying with a serious expression.
This guy might not be weaker than the first generation. The dangerous aura that he was faintly emitting was too terrifying. I had to be very careful. He might take my life in an instant…
Seeing Orochimaru's tense body, Ye Ying smiled faintly.
"What's wrong? Don't you have anything to say to me after not seeing me for decades? Orochimaru."
Orochimaru was speechless.
When he was young, he would often come to Ye Ying to learn ninjutsu.
Ye Ying could be considered half a teacher to him.
"Teacher Ye Ying, I do have a lot of things to ask you, but there are some things that this fool shouldn't hear.”
He didn't expect Orochimaru's words to not leave him. He slammed his chair and stood up.
"Orochimaru…"
Ye Ying glanced at the two of them indifferently, his words unquestionable.
"I've been away from Muye for almost twenty-five years. I don't care about the conflicts between you two, but I hope that from now on, you can work together and contribute your own strength to Muye.”
"What is it? Lord Ye Ying, Orochimaru this fellow…"
Before Zirai could finish, Orochimaru retorted sarcastically.
"It seems that you have a problem with Lord Ye Ying's words.”
"Bastard, I just have a problem with you!”
Orochimaru completely ignored Selaiya and looked at Ye Ying with a complicated expression.
" Teacher Ye Ying, decades have passed and many things can't be returned to the past. Furthermore, I'm a traitor and it's impossible for me to return. Furthermore, I have my own pursuits and dreams. You…" You won't stop me, will you?"
"Orochimaru, let's not talk about your past and what you want to do in the future. How about we make a bet?”
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment before the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I really didn't expect that after so many years, you're still the same gambling person. Then…what if I'm not willing?”
Ye Ying laughed.
"What do you think?"
Orochimaru's pupils constricted as he felt an indistinct mental pressure pressing down on him.
Cold sweat oozed out uncontrollably.
"This... What's the point of this?"
The intimidating aura suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed, but Orochimaru could not help but gasp for breath.
When Zi Lai also saw this scene, he was also secretly shocked.
He had a rough idea of Orochimaru's strength, but he didn't expect him to be so terrified with just a look.
Ye Ying was still as terrifying as ever after not seeing him for decades.
"Orochimaru, I remember that I once told you that strength determines fate. I can tell you a little in advance. I can give you the answer to everything you want to pursue. Now, do you want to bet with me?”
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know if Ye Ying was telling the truth, he didn't seem to have much of a choice.
From the moment Ye Ying returned, he had no better choice.
"Alright, since Teacher wants to play, then let's play.”
Ye Ying nodded his head in satisfaction and suddenly looked at Zi Lai Ye.
"How is it? Do you want to play too?"
"Eh? Me?"
"That's right. Do you still remember Immortal Toad's prophecy? Do you want to find an answer?"
“... What do you want?"
"It's very simple. It's the spiritual contract of the Miaomushan clan.”
"What?"
"Don't be nervous. It's just a gift for the new disciples.”
“...”
