"I..." Yizhe was left speechless.
Tsunade was stubborn to the extreme. Even when she was wrong, she would never admit it.
Since this was a misunderstanding, Shizune hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over and asked with a smile, "Lady Tsunade, have you ever been to Snow Country?"
Shizune had offered her a way out, and Tsunade was happy to take it, pretending that nothing had happened as she said blandly, "Snow Country, huh?"
"I haven't been there either!"
"However, from what I know, that country is extremely remote. Like the Land of Iron, it is covered in ice and snow all year round. But at least the Land of Iron is located in the center of the continent, with quite a few neighboring countries around it."
"Snow Country, on the other hand, lies at the edge of the continent and has very little contact with other nations. It is practically the middle of nowhere!"
"What, do you want to go?" She looked at Shizune with an amused expression.
At the end, she secretly glanced at Yizhe, who was slumped in the corner.
Tsunade still felt guilty about nearly hurting her disciple by mistake, but there were some things she simply could not bring herself to say. She could only quietly observe Yizhe's reaction.
She did not want this misunderstanding to create a rift between master and disciple either.
"Yizhe, shall we go to Snow Country?" Shizune did not answer Tsunade. Instead, she looked toward the young man slumped in the corner.
"Hm?"
Still shaken, Yizhe sat on the floor, having paid no attention at all to what Tsunade and the others had been saying. Only when he heard someone call his name did he come back to his senses.
"What did you say?" His face was full of confusion.
