Angry and ashamed.

She stared intently at Shenyue Xingyun, and the next second, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Shingetsu Seiun was in a bit of a headache. Before he could figure out how to deal with it, Uzuki Yugao's next reaction made him even more confused.

"Waaah~"

"Waaaaah~..."

"Wow~"

"You...you scumbag!"

Shen Yue Xingyun's face immediately darkened.

Although there weren't many people around, the sound of Uzuki Yugao crying caused the people walking normally in the distance to stop and then approach as if nothing was wrong.

Helpless, Shenyue Xingyun could only grab the other party's sleeve.

"Come with me."

Uzuki Yugao just kept crying and didn't move her feet.

Fortunately, they weren't far from home, so Shenyue Xingyun grabbed her by the back of the collar and carried her all the way home.

While cooking, Izumo Kamui heard the crying and came out of the kitchen. He saw his older brother carrying a pretty girl in. Upon seeing him, the girl said, "This is none of your business. Keep cooking," and went straight to the bedroom.

Izumo Shingetsu stood there, stunned, not even noticing the spatula fall to the ground from his hand.

He stared at Shenyue Xingyun's tightly closed bedroom door, muttering to himself.

"That's... Yugao Uzuki, isn't it?"

"Why are you crying like a kitten? And... isn't she Hayate's girlfriend?"

Thinking of Hayate Gekko, who always talked about Uzuki Yugao at school, and recalling the scene of the purple-haired girl being dragged back to the house by her older brother by the collar, Izumo Kamizuki frowned and sighed softly for Hayate Gekko.

Sigh~

'Good wind, you've suffered so much~'

Suppressing his inner gossip, Izumo Shingetsu returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

There's no way around it; my brother is a genuine Jonin now, so eavesdropping is practically impossible. Besides, he still needs to learn swordsmanship.

All we can do is suffer through the gale...

In Shingetsu Nebula's bedroom.

Perhaps because there was no audience, or perhaps because she was tired of crying, Uzuki Yugao, who was brought in, stopped crying.

While wiping away her tears, she curiously looked around Shenyue Xingyun's bedroom.

Clean and tidy.

Sunlight falls on the green plants on the desk, and the bookshelves on both sides are neatly arranged.

The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a faint scent of the moon and stars in the air, along with a light smell of detergent.

Hmm~ It's much cleaner than her bedroom.

"Cry."

Shingetsu Seiun moved a stool from the desk and sat down, looking at Uzuki Yugao sitting on the bed, and said coldly.

"Keep crying."

"I'm exhausted from crying, I need to rest for a bit," said Uzuki Yugao, her eyes still wet with tears, as she looked around Shinzuki Seiun's bedroom.

Suddenly, she asked, "Am I the first woman to come here?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

It seems that her crying just now was not enough.

"Tell me, is it true or not?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "No."

Uzuki Yugao suddenly cheered: "You're lying."

"I'm definitely the first one here."

Shenyue Xingyun: "How can you be so confident?"

Uzuki Yugao said, "There isn't a single trace of a woman in your room."

"And just now, your brother's expression clearly showed that it was the first time he had seen you bring a woman home."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Is it possible that the way you came in was rather unusual?"

Uzuki Yugao raised her head: "Impossible!"

Shenyue Xingyun sighed softly.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Uzuki Yugao pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "What important matter are we talking about?"

"We don't have anything important to do, and I'm nobody to you."

"I've been on the battlefield for so long, and I haven't received a single letter or a single word."

"If I hadn't come to confront you... were you planning to never see me again?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "Uh..."

"Xi Yan, I've just been too busy lately."

"We've been fighting all the time, and we don't have enough energy."

Uzuki Yugao pressed further, "Not enough energy?"

"So you still have time to cultivate with that guy in green?"

"You don't have enough energy? Then why are you still scheduling your girlfriend's shifts? Don't try to fool me, I've found out everything!"

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "Xiyan, as you know, the pressure on the battlefield is immense."

"If you don't work hard in your cultivation, how can you have the strength to survive the war?"

"As for the schedule... you said it yourself, it's because of my girlfriend."

"There's always time if you squeeze it in."

Uzuki Yugao looked up at him pitifully: "So, can't you squeeze some out for me?"

Seeing Shenyue Xingyun hesitate, she added, "I can be your girlfriend!"

"So, does this mean I can schedule shifts?"

Shenyue Xingyun shook her head: "Xiyan, no..."

Uzuki Yugao interrupted him: "Or, I could agree to be Hayate's girlfriend, and then come over..."

"Shut up!" Shingetsu Seiun's cheeks twitched as he interrupted Uzuki Yugao's wild words with a sharp shout.

Uzuki Yugao: "You agreed?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Agree with you my foot!"

"Can't you put something serious in your little head?"

Uzuki Yugao pouted: "My head is full of thoughts about you~"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Shenyue Xingyun sorted out her thoughts and said, "Xiyan, there's really no other reason, it's just that I'm too busy with work."

"If you insist on overthinking it, then there's nothing I can do."

Uzuki Yugao: "Okay, okay, I won't think about it."

"Nebula, can we continue with our previous pace now?"

Shenyue Xingyun certainly knew what the other party was referring to.

However, the system's task is not yet complete.

He said slowly, "Xi Yan, listen to me."

"You're still young, so don't get too obsessed with anything and go down a path of fanaticism."

"You're still at the ninja academy; that's what you should be doing—studying and training."

Uzuki Yugao frowned: "But... that's not what you said back then."

“You said ‘this is the second day,’ but I remember it all very clearly.”

Shenyue Xingyun scratched his head.

"Listen, Yugao."

"I'll say it one last time, what we're doing is wrong."

"I have deeply realized my mistakes. In the past... we were both wrong."

"In that case, you should focus on your studies first."

"After you graduate, let's continue our previous routine, okay?"

Uzuki Yugao wasn't fooled by his sweet talk: "How come I remember you had a girlfriend in the same grade as me?"

"Did you say that to them too?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

Chapter 173 Full of Ambition

Uzuki Yugao: "Are you lying to me?"

"Nebula, I was wrong."

“Shall we go back to the way things were before? As long as you agree…” Uzuki Yugao paused, her eyes resolute, as if she had made a tremendous decision: “Even if it’s the same as last time, I won’t be angry.”

Seeing Uzuki Yugao's humble demeanor, Shingetsu Seiun couldn't bear it either.
