I rely on myself

Chapter 740 Return
As the turmoil in Konoha gradually subsided, Lin Yuan and his two guards caught up with them.

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared among them, Jie was startled at first and subconsciously became alert. However, after seeing clearly that the person coming was Lin Yuan and his group, the tense expression on his face relaxed: "Master Lin Yuan, it's you."

"It's us. Thank you for your hard work, Jie. You just made a breakthrough, but you are asked to be Lie and the others' temporary mentor. It's really a bother for you."

Although Lin Yuan and the others were in a hurry to catch up with Jie and others, they did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, they looked extremely relaxed, as if they had just returned from a walk.

"No, it's not a big deal. Although I was surprised when I first received this task, Lie and the others were very self-aware, so I didn't do anything."

While Lin Yuan and Jie were chatting, Lie and the others also noticed Lin Yuan's arrival, and they all looked at him with respect. If they hadn't remembered the rules, they would have surrounded him long ago. But even if they hadn't, they would have looked towards Lin Yuan from time to time.

Of course, Lin Yuan and the others noticed the gazes of Lie and the others, but they didn't care. After learning a little about the situation on Jie's side, Lin Yuan thought about it for a while and said again: "...That means you should have finished resting."

"Yes, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Oh, no. In that case, although we are still a little way to the port, it shouldn't be a problem to get there in one go. If possible, it would be better to reunite with the receiving fleet as soon as possible. After all, this is still within the territory of the Fire Country. Under the current circumstances, it is better to leave early if possible."

"...No problem. Although it is a bit of a burden for Lie and the others, it is still within an acceptable range. Besides, it would be better to leave the Fire Country as soon as possible. I agree with your proposal, sir."

After thinking about the situation of Lie and the others for a while, Jie thought that although this would be a burden for Lie and the others, it was not big. Instead, they would be able to leave the Fire Country faster. This proposal undoubtedly had a higher cost-effectiveness, so naturally others would not have any objections.

Lie and the others did not object after hearing this proposal. After all, it would just make the journey a little more difficult, and this level of burden was nothing.

Everyone reached a consensus, so without further ado, everyone set off again. After a long journey, they arrived at the originally scheduled port that evening and met up with the ship that was waiting for them.

"I thought we would have to wait a day or two, but I didn't expect you to rush on like this. Is it necessary to be so anxious? Although for me it's a good thing, after all, I can return to the Snow Country earlier."

The person who spoke was Talia, and the ship that came to pick them up was naturally Talia's, or one of the ships in her fleet.

Ever since she came to the Snow Country with Lin Yuan and the others six years ago, Talia refused to work in an office because she was aware of her own abilities and continued to manage her own fleet.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not object to this and would directly treat Talia and her fleet as the Snow Country's naval force. Normally, except for a part of the personnel on guard in the waters around the Snow Country, the others would continue to trade with other countries under the leadership of Talia. Of course, this was to hide their identity as the Snow Country's naval force.

Although it sounds a bit unprofessional, the taxes paid by Talia's fleet account for a large part of the entire Snow Country's income. So even though many people don't like this, there is nothing they can do but turn a blind eye.

Lin Yuan didn't care about Talia's teasing. Instead, he was concerned about other things: "After all, we are now in the territory of the Land of Fire. If possible, it is better to leave early. Okay, let's talk about something else. I remember that you took on some big business some time ago and visited several other big countries. How are the situations?" Talia didn't answer immediately. Instead, she took a big sip from the wine pot, and then slowly answered Lin Yuan's question: "Nothing has changed. Although the major countries and ninja villages have gradually recovered in recent years, that's it. For the time being, no ninja village will suddenly go crazy and provoke a war, so be happy!"

Hearing Talia's last naughty words, Lin Yuan also laughed and replied: "Of course I am happy. After all, it will take some time to arrange the plan. Once it is arranged, it means that the time to change the world has come."

In the end, even Lin Yuan, who had the blessing of his own experiences in other worlds, couldn't help but feel his heart surging. He even raised his hands directly towards the starry sky, as if he wanted to hold it in his hands.

This was the first time Talia had seen Lin Yuan like this. After all, before this, although Lin Yuan was not completely expressionless, perhaps because he was the ruler of a country, Lin Yuan would not easily reveal his emotions most of the time. It was for this reason that this scene was rare.

After taking a deep look, Talia didn't say anything. Instead, she took another big sip of wine and even drank until she was a little drunk. Her face turned red before she spoke.

"I don't really understand plans, anyway, just leave it to you and the others to deal with. Anyway, just tell me what to do when the time comes."

"Heh, to be honest, although this is not the first time I've heard this, I'm still really curious about how you were able to pull out such a large fleet when you had nothing at the beginning."

Talia didn't care about Lin Yuan's teasing, and replied directly: "Rely on loyalty, or friends and brothers, otherwise what else can I rely on, really."

Talia rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan shook his head in amusement and did not continue the topic.

At this time, a crew member came over and said to Talia: "Big sister, everything is ready. We can set sail at any time."

"very good."

Upon hearing this, Talia's eyes suddenly lit up, and her originally drunken face instantly sobered up, or to be more precise, her whole person changed, and she became full of energy and vigor.

"Now that all preparations are ready, let's set sail without further delay!"

"Yes!"

As the sails were raised, the ship carrying the people of the Snow Country gradually left the port and headed back towards the Snow Country.
