No one comes to see you for no reason. Even a child knows this.
Xuan Mu naturally doesn’t think that it’s because of his charm that he attracted Miqin to come and reminisce about the past.
“Your face is full of words that I have something on my mind”
“Eh……”Miqin subconsciously touched her face:”Is it so obvious?”
Xuan Mu nodded:”Because my eyes can see through people’s hearts”
“Seeing through people’s hearts?”
Hearing Xuan Mu’s words, Miqin quickly avoided the other’s sight.
Xuan Mu almost laughed out loud when he saw this:”I’m just joking, don’t take it seriously.”
“???”
Miqin was puzzled. She had almost taken Xuan Mu seriously when she saw him being so serious.
How could her childhood sweetheart change so much after not seeing him for a while ?
“”Xuan Mu, I feel like you’ve changed a lot.” Mikoto said bluntly.
Xuan Mu sighed, and said in a low voice:”After experiencing life and death, people will always have some changes and insights.”
Experience life and death.
Although it was just a few short words, Mikoto could feel the heaviness contained in them.
Yes.
If she were to put herself in Fugaku’s shoes, she would also be angry at Fugaku’s inaction.
Mikoto was slightly absent-minded.
She inadvertently heard the conversation between her father and Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku himself didn’t care much about this matter, and insisted that he had done nothing wrong.
Instead, it was his father who was worried about this matter.
He felt that Fugaku’s handling of this matter was inappropriate, and it had aroused the disgust of many people in the clan.
Especially those radicals who attach great importance to the family’s reputation.
So, her father remembered that she and Xuan Mu were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship..
He wanted her to be a middleman and a bridge to resolve the grievances between the two.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was reluctant, he said that he did not want to have a falling out with Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, two high-ranking Konoha officials, because of Xuan Mu.
He believed that this was a loss of the big picture for the small.
In Fugaku’s heart, the high-level officials are big, and Xuan Mu, a member of the tribe, is small.
But in the end, he couldn’t beat his father, and reluctantly agreed to give Xuan Mu some money and ninjutsu compensation.
According to his father’s arrangement.
Mikoto was going to apologize to Xuan Mu on behalf of Fugaku after meeting him, but now that the words are on the tip of her tongue, she is sure she can’t say them.
In the end, Mikoto could only lower her voice and say,”My father wants to see you.”
“Uncle Mingliang wants to see me?”
Uchiha Mingliang, Mikoto’s father, is one of the elders of the family.
He holds a pivotal position in the Uchiha clan.
Mikoto nodded slightly and looked at Xuanmu with hope.
Xuanmu thought about it for a moment and agreed. It was just a meeting, and it wouldn’t cost anything.
Mikoto was relieved when she saw Xuanmu agreed. After a short rest, the two got up and prepared to pay the bill.
As soon as Mikoto was about to pay the bill, Xuanmu got there first.
“Didn’t we agree that I would treat you? Why are you paying?” Mikoto complained.
“This barbecue is my reward for eating at your house. If you feel bad, let me experience your cooking skills earlier.”
Some things need a beginning. There is only one thing before there is another.
If you come and go, the relationship will be there.
“Are you still thinking about this?”
“To be honest, I have been thinking about it for several years.” Xuan Mu blinked, hinting at something.
Miqin blushed slightly, and quickly looked away guiltily. After a moment, she said,”Will you go to the No. 33 training ground for training tomorrow?”
“certainly”
“Then I’ll bring you some lunch boxes tomorrow.”
Taking Xuan Mu home to cook for him would cause some misunderstandings, so preparing a few lunch boxes would be fine.
Xuan Mu knew that some girls would readily agree beforehand but regret it afterwards, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and not give Miqin any room to regret. He said happily,”Great, I’ll leave tomorrow’s lunch and dinner to you.”
Eh.
Miqin was stunned for a moment. She had originally planned to prepare a lunch box for lunch, but why did she have to prepare one for dinner as well?
But thinking that Xuan Mu had just treated her to a barbecue meal, she was too embarrassed to say no.
She could only nod and agree.
……
In the courtyard of Mikoto’s house,
Xuan Mu met Uchiha Mingliang and his wife again.
“Elder Mingliang……”
Uchiha Mingliang deliberately said with a stern face:”You and Mikoto have known each other since childhood, why are you so formal?”
Xuan Mu immediately changed his words:”Uncle Mingliang, Aunt Ena”
“That’s right.” Uchiha Mingliang’s face bloomed with a smile again.
Uchiha Hui Na also smiled and nodded at Xuan Mu.
Uchiha Mingliang made a gesture of invitation:”Let’s go inside and talk.”
Mikoto bowed slightly to her father, then turned around and left with her mother to prepare tea.
“I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you’ve grown up so much. The scene when you and Mikoto went to the Ninja School together seems like it was just yesterday.” Uchiha Mingliang said with deep emotion.
Xuan Mu knew that Uchiha Mingliang’s emotion was just to get closer to him, so he didn’t care at the moment, and complimented him with a smile:”But you are still as charming as ever!”
“Hahaha……”Uchiha Mingliang’s hearty laughter filled the whole room.
Then the two found some topics to chat.
No one mentioned what happened yesterday, but both sides knew that this meeting was for yesterday’s matter.
At this time, Mikoto walked in and brought each of them a cup of tea.
Then she left. She was also a little curious about what Xuan Mu had talked about with his father before. Why was his father laughing so happily?
After chatting for a while, they felt that the relationship was almost established.
Uchiha Mingliang then got to the point:”I’m sorry for what happened two days ago.”
“This account will be settled with the administration department in the future.”
Uchiha Mingliang’s face was full of indignation.
He then took out a stack of banknotes and a scroll from the ninja tool bag he carried with him.
“Just accept this money and the ninjutsu scroll. Although it cannot completely make up for your grievance, it is also a token of the family’s kindness.”
Xuan Mu glanced over and found that the stack of banknotes on the table was about 500,000 taels. 500,000 taels can be used for two and a half top-level B-level tasks.
And it was done by one person alone, without any commission.
As for the ninjutsu scroll, it is most likely a B-level fire escape?
“Don’t think it’s too little.” Uchiha Mingliang added
“It’s a lot.” The smile on Xuan Mu’s face gradually disappeared.
This little bit of money is far from enough to make up for the family’s debt to him.
Uchiha Mingliang saw the changes in Xuan Mu’s expression and sighed helplessly.
Fugaku, look at what you have done.
In order to please the top leaders of Konoha, you have alienated a group of clansmen. This is the real loss of the big for the small!
But as Uchiha Fugaku’s future father-in-law, he had to clean the drum for him.
“I know this little compensation cannot completely make up for the family’s mistakes, but you have to give the family a chance and not make things too awkward. Besides, Fugaku’s attitude cannot fully represent the family.”
Speaking of this, Uchiha Mingliang felt a little regretful. Did he misjudge Fugaku back then?
Seeing Xuan Mu still had a cold face, Uchiha Mingliang also knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he changed the subject and said,”Let’s not talk about this for now. I heard that you are going to take part in the Chunin Exam alone?”
