However, as soon as she stepped out of the room, Uchiha Lingyue, like a phantom-like black shadow, swiftly moved away from the door.
She was dressed in a black kimono with a black and white belt tied around her waist, resembling a bright moonlight in the dark night, while her long, black hair, flowing like a waterfall down to her waist, was like a lustrous black silk.
Uchiha Lingyue's overall style was simple and unadorned; after the lavish decorations she had experienced, this plain attire felt more approachable and comfortable.
But judging from her actions just now, she had clearly been eavesdropping by the door.
This action immediately drew Uchiha Yukino's "angry" glare.
Waving her delicate fist, she pouted and said, "Hmph, Sister, why are you always staring at us like a camera? Don't you trust us two? Do you really think I'll make the first move? And also, Father said from the beginning that Tenxiu and I would be engaged, so you should also pay attention to your family status!"
She was Tenxiu's legitimate fiancée, yet her sister, just because of a verbal agreement, kept a close eye on her to prevent her relationship with Tenxiu from progressing ahead of time.
How annoying!
It was only because it was her sister that Yukino didn't want to back down.
Uchiha Yukino thought to herself.
Compared to her sister, Uchiha Lingyue, neither Uchiha Sakurako nor Uchiha Chiri were of much concern to her.
Because no matter how much these little vixens jumped around, they were not Uchiha Tenxiu's legitimate wives.
But only her sister Lingyue, like herself, was entrusted to Uchiha Tenxiu by their father.
Although she was engaged first, once both of them officially married Tenxiu, wouldn't she be a step lower?
At least, in the Great Zhou's regulations, there was only one main wife, and realizing this problem, the relationship between the two of them began to show some minor conflicts.
Clearly, both wanted to be the main wife.
"You, you, you, what are you saying!" Uchiha Lingyue half-turned her head, pointing her finger at Yukino and said, "Sister, you are truly too much, saying such hurtful words.
I am Father's chosen fiancée for Tenxiu! Yet, only you, my sister, are engaged.
I am also a legitimate wife…" Her face also showed a sharp expression, very serious.
"It's all because Father thought of your illness, really..." Uchiha Lingyue said, grumbling inwardly about Uchiha Raimon, and then looked at Uchiha Tenxiu with a resentful gaze.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tenxiu rushed forward like a gust of wind, tightly grasping Uchiha Lingyue with his remaining left hand, and said urgently, "Alright, alright, Lingyue, I promised you long ago that in two years, I will definitely give you a grand wedding, together with Yukino.
Don't cause any more trouble!"
"Then, will I be the elder sister?" Uchiha Lingyue raised an eyebrow, lifting her head like a proud peacock, her long, straight black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.
Her gaze was like a torch, staring directly into Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes, pressing him for an answer.
Clearly, she did not want to be the elder sister in name, only to become Uchiha Yukino's younger sister in terms of status.
That would be too unacceptable.
"Tenxiu, what do you say?" Uchiha Yukino, like a cute little rabbit, tightened her grip on his arm, gently shaking Uchiha Tenxiu's body, and also pouted her question.
She also didn't want to lose her position as the main wife.
After all, she was the first to be engaged, how could she go from being a legitimate wife to a concubine?
"Uh!…" Uchiha Tenxiu's brain spun like a rapidly rotating top, making him dizzy.
He immediately said seriously, "I believe you two are like twin lotus flowers, equally matched and both so special.
I don't think there's a need to determine a winner.
As for rules, I think we can forget about them!"
Although Uchiha Tenxiu had set rules, he never intended to be bound by them.
Not to mention, if he truly got serious about it, Uchiha Tenxiu himself would be the one suffering.
"Both are the same, both are the main wife, the queen!"
Under Uchiha Tenxiu's sweet talk, Uchiha Yukino and Uchiha Lingyue, the sisters, finally stopped bickering.
Ultimately, the affection between the two of them was like a towering mountain, firm as a rock; it was only in the matter of family status that they were quite concerned about Uchiha Tenxiu's opinion.
Therefore, they often wanted to settle the matter, but since they had already received Uchiha Tenxiu's approval, there was no need for them to distinguish between high and low, and naturally, they stopped arguing.
After a simple cleanup, the three went out and had breakfast at a breakfast shop within the Uchiha Clan, before leaving the clan grounds.
"Heh! This Village, like an aging old man, develops so slowly!" Uchiha Lingyue's eyes showed disdain, her gaze as sharp as a knife, cutting the irregular appearance of the entire Village into pieces.
Various two to four-story small buildings were scattered haphazardly like chess pieces on both sides of the streets, with a layout so chaotic it was unbearable to look at.
Compared to Jianye City, the first major city of the Great Zhou, it was like heaven and earth, a world apart.
Uchiha Lingyue felt a surge of pride and confidence in her heart, thinking that her Great Zhou could completely surpass Konoha's centuries of development.
Not to mention, the people in the Village at this moment were dressed in plain clothes, like old cloth eroded by time.
Unlike Uchiha Tenxiu and the two women, whose attire was merely a matter of style preference, these people could only wear such simple clothes, as if tightly bound by the heavy pressure of life.
Their eyes were filled with busyness, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, and their visible sorrow seemed like a heavy gloom enveloping them.
Clearly, the living conditions of ordinary villagers were full of endless hardship and suffering.
"Sister, you should also be careful!" Uchiha Yukino awkwardly prompted, afraid that she might expose something that shouldn't be revealed.
Then, she shyly tugged at Tenxiu's hand, signaling Uchiha Tenxiu not to mind her sister's actions.
In response, Uchiha Tenxiu naturally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Lingyue knows her limits!" Uchiha Tenxiu knew that compared to himself, Uchiha Lingyue and Uchiha Yukino had not been idle in these past few years and had also made rapid progress, both in experience and strength, so they naturally wouldn't make such low-level mistakes.
Not to mention, Uchiha Lingyue, who was originally exceptionally gifted, had, over these five years, like a shining pearl in Uchiha Tenxiu's small world, continuously nourished by the spring of life, refining her aptitude like a phoenix undergoing nirvana, pushing it further.
Under the meticulous guidance of various secret Ninjutsu, she absorbed knowledge like a sponge, coupled with the massive investment of resources.
She finally successfully advanced to the Kage-level existence.
Although it was only the most ordinary initial Kage-level, she was like a sharp sword, possessing the ability to protect herself in the Ninja World.
Not to mention, she was only fifteen years old now, and there was still much room for improvement in the future.
On the other hand, Uchiha Yukino, although her training period was relatively short, only five years, after successfully resolving the bloodline inheritance illness, she truly unearthed the powerful talent within herself.
After all, the Uchiha Clan has always been known for its powerful Yin Release Sharingan, and Uchiha Yukino's inability to cultivate before was due to her powerful talent suppressing her physical energy.
However, fortunately, with Uchiha Tenxiu's healing using the greer stone's life energy, she finally escaped the predicament of being unable to cultivate.
Her previous bloodline illness no longer brought negative effects; instead, it transformed into extraordinary talent, allowing Uchiha Yukino to catch up later and her strength to improve by leaps and bounds, reaching the Kage-level mid-stage in a short period, which was undoubtedly an astonishing achievement.
And in terms of Sharingan evolution, her progress was even more remarkable.
In just one month, her Sharingan evolved to one-Tomoe; half a year later, the Two-Tomoe appeared; and after another two years, the Three-Tomoe was successfully awakened.
Until half a year ago, Yukino even made a major breakthrough—she awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!
This earned Uchiha Tenxiu's praise, but he only told her to keep it a secret and not reveal it to outsiders.
