Liao Wu reminded Ye Cang, "Ye Cang, look, it's your apprentice, Juan!"

"roll?!"

Ye Cang looked in the direction Liao Wu pointed. On the distant sand wall, Juan was reaching out his hand to greet Ye Cang and Liao Wu happily.

Juan was very happy to see that her teacher had safely emerged from the Demon Desert.

Liao Wu threatened Ye Cang, "Ye Cang, think about Juan. If you dare to commit suicide, I'll shift the target of your bullying to Juan."

"No!"

Yecang immediately softened; even the toughest person has a soft side.

In the original story, Yotsuba was resurrected by Kabuto with a heart full of hatred, intending to make Sunagakure suffer. In the end, it was Maki who redeemed Yotsuba.

The scroll represents the soft spot in Yekura's heart; Yekura absolutely cannot allow her beloved disciple to be harmed by the evil Uchiha, Ryou.

"Uchiha Ryou, you are not allowed to harm the scroll. As long as it does not harm the interests of Sunagakure, I will do whatever you ask."

Scorpion, perched on Liao Wu's chest, spoke of Ye Cang's foolishness: "Stupid woman, you are Liao Wu's puppet now. Even if he lets you kill Juan, there's nothing he can do."

Yecang pleaded desperately, "Please, Uchiha Ryo, I can help you. I won't mess around this time. I'll eat it all."

Liao Wu immediately laughed: "Alright, alright, let's see how you perform later."

"but--"

"Yakura, are you still thinking about the interests of Sunagakure? Don't you know that the Sunagakure leadership has betrayed you?"

"sell?!"

Ye Cang was as bewildered as Louis XVI: "I'm a hero of the village, why would the higher-ups betray me?"

Liao Wu remained silent.

Scorpion was speechless: "Ye Cang, no wonder you're completely under Liao Wu's thumb?"

Ye Cang retorted to Scorpion, "Scorpion, what are you pretending for? What's the difference between you and me now? At least I'm still myself, while you're neither human nor ghost!"

"If Granny Chiyo knew you'd become like this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be?"

"..."

Scorpion was rendered speechless by Yekura's blunt truth.

It's not much different from Yekura, except that it hasn't eaten yet.

Although the sex of a scorpion can no longer be defined, it would really break down if Liao Wu were to feed it.

Ye Cang then focused his attention on Liao Wu's words.

"I've been wondering why the higher-ups wanted me to go to the Land of Water alone to discuss a ceasefire with Kirigakure."

"Then they urgently summoned me back to the village. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?"

Yekura is not stupid; the fact that she has reached her current position proves that she cannot be stupid.

"Could it be...?"

"Impossible! Rosa and the elders couldn't be that short-sighted!"

Yecang still couldn't believe that a fellow villager would betray her.

"Yakura, oh Yakura, I've reminded you, but you still don't believe me? Often, the person you trust the most will hurt you the most."

Liao Wu shook his head, then called out for the candy in the sand below.

"Candy, go to the Wind Shadow Building and find the file on Luo Sha's betrayal of Ye Cang!"

"yes!"

Ye Cang's expression darkened. Could it be that that damned guy, Luo Sha, really—

No, no, Uchiha Ryou is my enemy.

The enemy's words are all meant to sow discord.

Liao Wu carried Ye Cang to the sand wall.

The ninjas guarding the Demon Desert opened the gate for Liao Wu.

"Lord Scorpion!"

No one asked what Liao Wu and Ye Cang did in the Demon Desert.

Mind your own business!

But we can't exactly go to the open field for sex! The Demon Desert is so hot, wouldn't it be a waste of good karma to strip naked like that?

Liao Wu nodded and carried Ye Cang towards Juan's direction.

"Lord Scorpion, Master!"

Juan ran over, somewhat puzzled as to why her teacher was being carried by Scorpion.

Liao Wu explained, "Your teacher and I went into the Demon Desert to hunt monsters. We encountered a giant poisonous scorpion, and your teacher was stung by its stinger when he wasn't paying attention."

"They've been injected with a potent venom!"

Juan's face turned pale, and she looked at Ye Cang with eyes full of worry.

Liao Wu then said, "But don't worry, I'll suck out all the poison from her body."

"She's just a little swollen at the mouth and can't speak right now, but she'll be fine in a couple of days."

Hearing this, Juan finally felt relieved.

Ye Cang was furious. That giant scorpion was the lecherous wolf who had been cheating on her. How could it have such a large quantity?

But his face was controlled by Liao Wu's illusion, and he smiled at Juan.

"Let's go, Juan, let's go home! I'm not going to the old lady's house tonight, I'm going to your teacher's house instead."

"good!"

Liao Wu didn't want to go to Grandma Chiyo's house anymore, because he was afraid of being exposed.

Granny Chiyo is a Kage-level powerhouse, and Ebizo is a shrewd man; neither of these old ladies is easy to fool.

Liao Wu didn't want to act anymore either.

He's used to being himself and doesn't want to pretend to be anyone else anymore.

Midway through, Liaowu sent Xuebao to deliver a message to Granny Chiyo, telling her and Ebizo that he would be spending the night at Yecang's house.

Afterwards, Juan took Liao Wu to Ye Cang's house.

Yekura's house is located on the edge of Sunagakure, far from the center of Sunagakure, hidden in the folds of a gently undulating sand dune.

Yekura has a fiery temper and a lively personality, like a hot wind, and should have adapted to the bustling village center.

However, her scorching technique was far too dangerous; sometimes the hot air emanating from her ninjutsu training would affect the neighbors.

So Yekura and Maki lived on the edge of the village.

The house was neither too big nor too small, just enough for Yekura and Juan to live in.

The exterior walls are made of light yellow adobe bricks, a characteristic of the sand dunes, and the roof is covered with several layers of windproof coarse cloth.

It appears very simple.

Several cacti of varying heights were planted in the open space in front of the house, their thorns standing out in the shimmering sunlight, exuding a tenacious spirit that was not to be trifled with, much like Ye Cang himself.

Juan pushed open the door and entered, with Liao Wu carrying Ye Cang on his back, following closely behind.

The interior space is unassuming and simply furnished.

Juan said to Liao Wu and Ye Cang, "Lord Scorpion, teacher, please sit down first. I'll go cook right away."

Liao Wu placed Ye Cang on the tatami mat, then poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his dry throat.

Liao Wu, watching Juan busy in the kitchen, relinquished Ye Cang's right to speak and asked, "Has Juan always lived with you?"

Yekura didn't want to answer Liaowu, but Liaowu extended his chakra threads, which startled Yekura and triggered a conditioned reflex of the scene where she had been controlled by Liaowu.

She responded, "No, Juan only moved into my house two years ago. Before that, Juan lived with her parents."

"Later, war broke out, and Maki's father was killed by Kirigakure ninjas, and his mother died from excessive grief, leaving Maki all alone."

"..."

Liao Wu remained silent, and the scorpion on his shoulder also fell silent.
