One After Another

"Zhi Ren?"

Qian stopped and looked at the figure standing on the street corner, speaking in confusion.

"It's me."

Uchiha Zhi Ren answered and stepped out of the shadows, looking at Qian with a complicated expression.

Qian did not bother wondering why he had that look. Compared to that, he wanted to know what the other man wanted with him.

That was right—he was certain the other party had been waiting specifically for him.

Otherwise, in the middle of the night, who would be wandering around outside for no reason?

So he did not beat around the bush and directly asked the question on his mind. "You were looking for me?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Zhi Ren did not waste words either. First he nodded, then shook his head and said, "It isn't me looking for you. The Great Elder is looking for you."

"The Great Elder?"

Qian felt even more puzzled.

Over the past two years, the only Uchiha Elder he had interacted with was Uchiha Huoxuan.

However, he was not the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan.

In other words, he had never had any dealings with this so-called Great Elder.

"Why is he suddenly looking for me?"

"Could it be related to Danzo again?"

As Qian pondered this, he heard Uchiha Zhi Ren continue, "That's right, the Great Elder. The old master is asking you to go over."

"Well, looks like it really is related to Danzo."

Just hearing that similar request, Qian knew he had guessed correctly.

Since the waters were getting muddier anyway, he simply did not refuse and agreed directly.

After that, the two changed direction and headed straight toward the Great Elder's residence.

Unlike Uchiha Fugaku, this Great Elder lived in a relatively remote place, almost in the deepest part of the Uchiha clan
