When Zen Yuanqing came back, there were some fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The weather in Tokyo was always so hot and humid at this time of year. If he moved a little, sticky sweat would flow down his back.

Before Chanyuan Qing could catch his breath, a somewhat lazy voice rang out:

"If you want some water, there's some on the coffee table. Go get it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chanyuan Qing glanced at Shen'er who was still sitting on the sofa, then looked at the coffee table which was clearly empty before, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Did you pour it on purpose?"

Listening to Chanyuan Qing's words, Shen'er was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this kid had such careful observation skills and actually noticed that he had poured the glass of water just now. Although he was a little surprised, his tone did not change at all and was still so calm.

"Something that has already existed."

Chanyuan Qing did not choose to expose Shen'er's lies. For someone like him who was a little closed off at the moment, exposing the other person's emotions excessively to the sun was not a good choice.

He walked forward and picked up the teacup with some water droplets still on the outside. With just one glance, he could tell that the cup must have been washed clean recently.

After all, it is quite difficult to find another clean water container other than his own cup in a single man's home.

The slightly cool liquid flowed down his throat from his mouth. After drinking most of it in one breath, Chanyuan Qing put down the cup and said to Shen'er with a smile:

"Thank you. What would you like for lunch? I'm not Japanese, so you might not particularly like the food I cook."

Hearing this, Chanyuan Shener grinned. He pressed the TV remote control and his tone changed for the first time:

"Not Japanese? Then why are you called Zenin?"

He did not ask Chanyuan Qing about cooking, nor did he ask what country Chanyuan Qing was from. He simply asked about the word "Chanyuan".

Zenin Qing knew that this was his subconscious denial of his childhood, an attempt to deny all the beautiful obsessions about the Zenin family:

"It's just a name they forced upon me. Just call me Qing."

Hearing this, Shen Er turned his head and looked directly at Chan Yuan Qing for the first time, then grinned and said:

"Same, you can just call me Shen'er, no need to add Zenyuan."

"Well, Mr. Nashir, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine. Do you want me to help you?"

"Okay, can you cut vegetables?"

"Cut the meat, I'm good at it."

The conversation between the two was brief. Five minutes later, Shen Er looked at Chan Yuanqing who was cooking and hesitated for a moment. Then he sighed and suddenly asked in a rather awkward tone:

"Why did you get involved in that matter today?"

"I don't want to see a little kid die that way."

"But that's not your child. What does it have to do with you whether he lives or dies?"

Listening to Shen'er's words, Chanyuan Qing turned his head and looked at him. His black eyes seemed to be able to see through the skin and directly into Chanyuan Shen'er's heart.

"If I could really stand by and watch, then I would let you call me Chanyuan Qing instead of Qing, am I right?"

The other party's words were like a steel needle that pierced directly into Shen'er's heart. As he listened to Chanyuan Qing's words, he suddenly seemed to realize why he was so resistant to the word Chanyuan.

But...he himself had gradually become the two words "Zen Temple" without realizing it.

Thinking of this, Shen Er let out a self-deprecating sigh. He extended the kitchen knife in his hand to the sink, turned on the faucet, and casually wiped the remaining minced meat on the knife. His tone became a little lighter:

"Do you think I need to add Zen Temple when I go out to register my name?"

"When I went out, the door wasn't completely closed, leaving a small gap. But when I came back, the door was completely closed. The wind wasn't very strong today, so after I came out, you should have come out too, right?"

"Can't I just go out for some fresh air?"

I felt an indescribable sense of shame and annoyance at the fact that Chanyuan Qing could so easily detect my various little movements. He was clearly just a kid in his teens, yet he showed such a perceptive look. Tsk, it was really annoying. Never mind, it wasn't that annoying...

Just when Shen Er was still struggling with his thoughts, Chan Yuanqing's voice came again, but this time there was a hint of indescribable ridicule in his words:

"Anyone who can breathe shouldn't be considered a Zenyuan family member, because most people here are lifeless, like zombies living in a grave. Besides, I didn't tell you why you came out, didn't I?"

He was unable to refute the words spoken by the little boy in front of him, but this feeling did not make him feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt that the arrival of Chanyuan Qing was like suddenly opening a window in an airtight house filled with a foul smell. A clear, cool breeze blew away a lot of haze in his life.

He casually chopped the kitchen knife on the chopping board and said:

"The meat has been cut, and the rest is up to you. By the way, don't leave me for the next period of time. Someone is targeting you. It's not from the Zenyuan family, or it's something that belongs to the Zenyuan family. In short, he's not a good person. Don't die."

Having said that, Shen'er had no intention of revealing anything further. He just wiped his hands on his clothes and left the kitchen.

Chanyuan Qing listened to Shen'er's words, his eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, he could roughly guess the identities of those people Shen'er mentioned...

The most evil sorcerer in the legend,

Based on his ability to control the Kamo family in the original work, Zenin Qing did not think that the Kamo family would be able to control the Kamo family.

The reason why this scene did not exist in the original work was because Maki killed her entire family, but now, there are always one or two mice wandering around here.

Chapter 10 Flower Royal

Pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the iron pan. Chanyuan Qing's expression remained unchanged, but he was constantly thinking about what Shen'er had just said in his mind.

If we had to identify the most dangerous person in the world of magic, it would undoubtedly be Ao.

Sukuna, the curse master, and the four special-grade cursed spirits, the actual danger level of these beings is not high enough.

In Chanin Qing's opinion, the degree of danger = one's own combat power + personal strategy + the absolute anti-humanity of the plan.

Only when all three points are met can one be considered a truly dangerous character.

Sukuna is brave, resourceful, and evil enough, but this guy has no fixed goals or ideas from beginning to end. Even if he is awakened, he is in a state of fighting without knowing why. The danger of this kind of person mainly comes from his own strength and personality.

Among the four great natural disasters, except for the real one, the other guys are basically of average IQ level, and their strength is not particularly exaggerated. As long as they reach the special level, they will basically be defeated by the special-level sorcerer in a one-on-one situation.

Let’s not talk about the curse master for now. Having read the original novel and learned some information about these guys, Zenyuan Qing actually doesn’t have much fear of them.

Unfortunately, as soon as he appeared, he ran into the most dangerous person among these people.

It is not difficult to find out from Shen'er's words that there are definitely some people in the Chanyuan family who have been deceived by the imperial court.

But I had been very cautious before. Apart from using the ability of [Teleport] when it was really too late, there was nothing outstanding about my other performances. Why did I get caught in such a mess?

Could it be that he just randomly made up a [Repulsion] technique?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, because in the original work, after learning the magic formula of the Chinese zodiac, the magic formula brought by the search for the magic formula is the [Gravity] formula.

Although the two techniques are not exactly the same, there is not much difference in essence, so Zenyuan Qing can accept this.

I was afraid that the other party had seen my teleportation ability and wanted to study it.

No, we have to leave the Zenyuan family as soon as possible!

Now Zenin Shan has shown signs of dissatisfaction with himself. Although Zenin Naohito can stand behind him, no one knows to what extent the other party can do for him. Zenin Qing does not want to gamble on his luck in the end.

Add the onions and garlic into the hot oil and stir-fry until fragrant. Chanyuan Qing opened the window to let the smell dissipate as much as possible. The range hood was not very useful. It made a loud noise, but it could not absorb much smoke.

At the same time, in the underground garage of a commercial building on the right side of Line 2 in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, a young and graceful woman was answering the phone. After the other party finished speaking, her slightly lazy voice slowly sounded:

"Chanyuan Qing, huh? He certainly seems like a formidable brat. I've already looked at his profile and information. Keep an eye on his movements at all times. If you encounter him alone, fully assess your own strength and bring him to me. I always have a keen interest in people like him."

After saying that, the woman didn't wait for the other party's reply, but hung up the phone directly. Then she turned her head with a smile on her face and looked at Yuji Jin who was walking towards her not far away, and said in a friendly voice:

"You're here so soon? I thought you'd be looking for a while."

"I accidentally left my car keys on the seat of the shop and the owner picked them up for me, so the whole process went smoothly."

Listening to the voice of the man beside me, feeling the slightly unique aura on him, I felt a sense of unease and a sense of belonging.

"Don't make the same mistake again next time~ Oh, by the way, there's a super delicious snack shop on the street over at Senhai Park. I want to try it."

Listening to Kaori's words, Yuji Jin did not hesitate at all. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a gentle smile:

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I also want to try out the food in this restaurant."

The two of them left the underground garage talking and laughing, and in a corner that no one noticed, a white flower was slowly blooming.

As the flowers slowly bloomed, a slightly strange figure emerged from among them.

The figure's skin was like wood, and two long tentacles grew from where the eyeballs should have been. At this moment, the tree-like skin also seemed full of traces of time.

Hua Yu stood there, staring at some ornamental plants grown in the other cars.

But unfortunately, most of the cars are filled with fake flowers.

But the fact that he was willing to grow flowers meant that Hua Yu had already developed some trust and good feelings towards him.

Unlike her volcano-headed companion, Hua Yu actually has a very delicate attitude towards humans.

She had seen humans destroy forests on a large scale, but she had also seen humans grow green plants on the sand.

She has her own confusion and puzzlement about human beings.

It's just that she has never had many opinions of her own. Sometimes, even if she disagrees with Louhu's ideas, she will not choose to oppose them.

At this moment, a slight voice reached Hua Yu's ears:

"There's a very interesting kid at the Zenin family. Keep an eye on him for me. As for Clepsydra, I'll go look for him soon. You should stay in Tokyo for a while."

Listening to the words in his ear, Hua Yu didn't say anything. He nodded and left directly.

The 10,000 most common words in Chinese are used to describe the humanities: "If you want to learn English, then this is the best way to learn." The 1,000 most common words in Chinese are used to describe the humanities: "If you want to learn English, then this is the best way to learn."

Perhaps because she was born from a plant, she does not have such aversion to humans. It can even be said that if it were not for the influence of her companion Louhu, Hanami would even have a neutral attitude towards humans.

However, there is no way we would give up on the combat power of such a special-grade cursed spirit. Even if she has no ill will towards humans now, it does not mean that she will not have any ill will towards humans in the future. And the Zenyuan family is the best gathering place for dirty humans.

In order to make the best use of the time, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

As for Zenin Qing, he is a very interesting guy, but he is not within his target range. Letting Hua Yu go and monitor him is just a side purpose.

Chapter 11 Memories

In the southeast corner of Chanyuan's house, in the courtyard closest to the periphery, Chanyuan Qingzheng was lying on the sofa, and the sound of flowing water came from the kitchen behind him.

That was Shen'er washing dishes in the kitchen. To be honest, Chanyuan Qing himself didn't expect that he would take the initiative to wash the dishes. He originally thought that a guy who was too lazy to clean up instant noodles would not even take care of the dishes.

But to Chanyuan Qing's surprise, after finishing his meal, Shen'er took all the dishes and walked towards the kitchen sink without even waiting for him to say anything.

He didn't say anything during the whole process, and Chanyuan Qing didn't say anything either. He just sat on the sofa and took the remote control.

The programs he watched were those nonsensical commercials. Zenin Qing picked some at random and found "Life is Beautiful" performed by Kimura Kyuya. Although it was already the seventh or eighth episode at that time, it was better to not be able to keep up with the plot than to have no plot at all.

But before Chanyuan Qing could watch TV for long, a somewhat dissatisfied voice came over with a hint of moisture:

"Hey! You little brat, hasn't anyone told you that it's very rude to touch an adult's remote control?"

In response to Shier's words, Zenin Qing didn't even turn his head, and replied with a posture and tone very similar to Shier's:

"I didn't touch your remote control casually. I carefully selected the TV program before touching it."

"Tsk, you bastard brat, you're really annoying."

Shen Er shook the cold water off his hands, but he did not try to grab the remote control back. Instead, he sat down opposite Chan Yuanqing, staring at the TV with lifeless eyes.

"What is this play about?"

"I don't know, it should be a romance drama."

"Why are you watching a romance drama, kid? It's boring."

"Teach me some fighting skills tomorrow. In return, I can cook for you. Otherwise, I will spend the whole day here fighting with you for the TV."

Zenyuan Qing's words left Shen Er a little stunned. He looked at the little ghost in front of him who was still staring at the TV, and couldn't help asking:

"Kid, this is just the first time we've met. Aren't you being a little too arrogant? Our relationship isn't close enough for you to joke with me like this, is it?

I'm not a good person. The reason I reminded you not to leave my place is simply because I don't want to get into trouble before leaving this place.

As for washing the dishes for you, it’s purely because I don’t want to owe you a favor. You’d better understand the relationship between us and don’t…”

However, before Shen'er could finish his words, Chanyuan Qing interrupted his awkward remarks:

"I don't think our relationship is close enough to allow us to joke around, but I don't think you're a bad person either. At least you pulled me in and took me in this morning, and I saw you from afar at the fire scene this afternoon. As for whether you're a good person, based on what I've seen so far, I think you're pretty good.

I'm not a good person, but I'm definitely not a bastard. Washing dishes can't repay a favor. People who cook have a harder job than those who wash dishes, especially when you have basically finished eating all the dishes, washing dishes is even easier. I don't think this unequal way of repayment can offset a favor.

In other words, I'm asking you to teach me some fighting techniques. I'm going to the technical high school at the end of this month. With my current strength, I'd probably die if I ran into a level 2 cursed spirit. I want to survive, and in the entire Chanyuan family, you're the only one who can help me."

When Chanyuan Qing said these words, there was not a trace of artificiality on his face. At least, there was no trace of ridicule on his face for being a useless sorcerer.

He seemed to really approve of his useless fighting skills...
