Chapter 139: Chanyuan Qing's Choice (Part 2, Main Story)

The Zenin family, the Kamo family, and the Gojo family are known as the Three Great Families of the world of spells. They are the top existences who govern the entire world of spells together with the Director of the Spell Department.

Among these three families, apart from the special case of Gojo Satoru, the most powerful family is the Zenin family.

The head of the family, Naohito Zenin, is a top-level sorcerer. Within the family, there are powerful sorcerers such as Zenin Sen, Zenin Shinichi, and Zenin Naoya, as well as the Zenin family's exclusive sorcery troops and spell tool control troops.

The family's heritage is so profound that it is almost unimaginable. In the early years when the power of the Director of the Spell Department was not that great, the Zenyuan family basically had the final say in the entire spell world.

Although the Kamo family has good techniques and inheritance, there are no top-notch experts within the family and they cannot compete with the Zenin family.

Before Gojo Satoru came into being, the Gojo family even showed signs of being eliminated from the three major families.

However, after Gojo Satoru was born, no one uttered this voice again.

But the Gojo family had been in decline for a long time. Even with a genius like Gojo Satoru, they were actually unable to compete with the Zenin family.

The previous head of the Zenin family, Zenin Ritsu, had a bad temper and often clashed with the director of the curse department, causing serious internal friction within the curse world. If Zenin Ritsu had not passed the position of head of the family to Zenin Naohito before his death, the curse world would probably not be as peaceful as it is now.

With the active coordination of Zen Temple Naohito, the world of spells has finally formed a basic situation in which the director of the spell department is the main body and the major families assist in governance.

Therefore, in this situation, the Jujutsu Master actually doesn't want to pay attention to anything related to the Zenin family.

The things involved here are too complicated and involve the interests of too many people, so this matter is so difficult to finalize.

The question raised by the elegant man is actually very simple to summarize.

It is asking which side Chanyuan Qing chooses to stand on.

Should he choose to accuse the high school of Chanyuan Fan? Or should he choose to defend the Chanyuan family?

No, or rather, both answers are death.

There is no unity within the High School, and even if Zenin Qing shows goodwill to the High School, he will not get the High School's full protection. The Zenin family is very likely to use some means to secretly kill him, Zenin Qing. After all, in the eyes of these high-level officials, Zenin Qing is just a weak sorcerer from a branch of the Zenin family.

Its importance and status are certainly not comparable to those of Zen fans.

Therefore, according to their logic, as long as Chanyuan Qing chose to testify against the Chanyuan family, he would basically be sentenced to death.

If Chanyuan Qing chooses to protect the Chanyuan family, then there is only one possibility.

That means he immediately admits that he committed those crimes and then is sentenced to death by the High Commissioner.

Or it could be that Chanyuan Qing did not admit that he had committed the crime, nor was he willing to identify Chanyuan Shan.

Well, this is very simple. Anyway, Chanyuan Qing is now a preparatory member of the technical college, so all we need to do is create some "teaching accidents" in his subsequent teaching process, and then fabricate a suicide note at will, and the case will be solved.

The university does not need such disloyal "dogs" from aristocratic families.

Even a genius like Gojo Satoru who was beyond the norm had to go through an early "coming of age" ceremony before they allowed him to join the technical high school.

All in all, the seemingly gentle words of this elegant man actually did not clear the way for the Zen temple to survive.

However, all of this is built on a foundation.

That is: "Zenyuan Qingzhen is an insignificant, weak, and useless person in the Zenyuan family."

However, this situation was deliberately intercepted by Yuki Kujuku and Masamichi Yaga.

The top leaders did not know how much Zenin Qing was valued by Zenin Naobito, and they underestimated Zenin Qing's current strength, and even more so, they underestimated Zenin Qing's importance in their eyes.

And this is the key that will allow Zenyuanqing to break the deadlock in a moment!

However, Ye Mo Zhengdao still looked a little worried when he heard the elegant man's question. He didn't know whether Chan Yuanqing, a ten-year-old boy, could understand what the other party meant. This question could not be answered!

If Chanyuan Qing answered, no matter what he said afterwards, either the college or the Chanyuan family would feel resentful towards him.

Jiujiu Yuki obviously noticed this as well. Her slender body, which was leaning casually against the stone pillar, tensed slightly, and her lips subconsciously opened, wanting to answer the question for Zenin Qing.

But just when Jiujiu Yuki was about to speak, Zenin Qing's voice came over, with a calmness and composure that did not belong to his age.

There was no warmth in the smile on Chanyuan Qing's face at this moment. His clear eyes swept across the direction of the elegant voice behind the screen, and then slowly passed over the direction of the old and harsh voice of the old woman.

He did not immediately answer the stark choice of "taking the blame" or "testifying." Instead, he spoke slowly in a very calm voice:

"This gentleman's question is really difficult to answer."

Zenyuan Qing sighed slightly, as if he was really making a difficult choice:

"Should I shoulder the blame for a crime that isn't mine? Or should I testify against that guy who slapped Chanyuan? Neither of these seems like a good option to me."

When he said this, Chanyuan Qing paused slightly, and he turned his gaze to Ye Mo Zhengdao with a barely perceptible inquiry, as if he was confirming something.

Ye Moth felt the gaze, and his heart tightened while he nodded at him. He thought Chan Yuanqing was seeking his affirmative help, but what Chan Yuanqing said next made him feel that the idea of ​​this kid Chan Yuanqing was simply terrifying to the extreme!

After receiving Yega Zhengdao's resolute gaze, Zenyuan Qing's smile became more lively. He looked back towards the screen, and his tone became clear and firm:

"Bearing this responsibility that is not mine means I will become a disgrace to the Zenin family, a 'curse master' who murders innocent people. From now on, I can only live like a rat in the gutter, or... be 'purged from the family' and sentenced to death by the High Commissioner.

But is this of any benefit to you gentlemen?

The answer is, apart from calming public opinion temporarily and getting a scapegoat, there is no benefit at all!

This choice does not seem to bring greater benefits to either of us.

Will the Zenin family be grateful to you for losing a "useless branch"? I'm afraid not. They will only think that the General Administration is taking this opportunity to suppress and pressure the Zenin family. Please don't doubt me on this point. The reason is very simple. As a member of the Zenin family, I know better than you that the Zenin family is not actually united.

Especially after the old man Zenin Naohito took over the family, the conflicts within the family have never stopped. "

Chapter 140 What Did You Misunderstand?

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel stunned and surprised.

Is this boy really so bold?!

Telling such a secret in a place like this?

Doesn't he even have a little family honor?

Doesn't he know that some of these people are actually supported by the Zenyuan family?

Doesn't he know that besides the Zenin family, the same division exists within the Polytechnic Institute?

After saying this, no matter what choice Chanyuan Qing makes later, his only outcome will be death!

But listening to the young man's words, everyone always had an indescribable strange feeling in their hearts, as if he really didn't care about those things.

Chanyuan Qing did not pause when he spoke. His eyes swept across the screen, but it made the person behind the screen feel as if they were being seen naked.

Under the young man's gaze, for a moment these senior executives felt that they dared not look him in the eye.

"Accusing the Zen Temple Fan? Just like what that gentleman just questioned, where's the motive? Where's the evidence? Even within the High Commission, they can't provide evidence to convict someone of my lowly status?

Just relying on Sister Jiujiu's testimony, in a place like the Zenin family, forget convincing the crowd, I'm afraid those people will rush directly to the High School and cause a conflict!

Forcing accusations would only deepen the rift between the Zenin family and the General Administration, causing the world of spells that had finally stabilized to regress to the early 1990s.

Do you really want to see something like a 'curse master' appear on a large scale in the world of curses again?!"

Chanyuan Qing's words accurately hit the nail on the head of each of the top executives' calculations.

Let Chanyuan Qing take the blame, but the value of this "branch family waste" is too low, and it is of no use at all. On the contrary, it may cause trouble for himself. After all, the performance of Jiujiu Yuki and Yega Zhengdao shows that they are determined to protect Chanyuan Qing at all costs.

If the wishes of these two people are forcibly violated, the already divided college will be further divided.

And let Chanin Qing testify against Chanin Shan? Such an action is too risky. Not to mention whether the evidence is sufficient, just relying on a reason that may trigger a conflict between the three major families and the general management department is not acceptable.

Listening to Chanyuan Qing's voice, the elegant man was silent for a moment. When his voice came again, it had become a little cold:

"You have a very clear perspective, which is really remarkable for a teenager.

But according to what you said, you choose not to accept either option. What should I do then?

Several ordinary civilians have already died. This matter can't just be left unresolved, right?

Someone has to be responsible for those deaths, whether it's you, Chanyuan Shan, or someone else, right?"

This elegant man seemed to be asking questions to Chanyuan Qing, but in fact he was forcing Chanyuan Qing to come up with a "solution", a "step" that could be accepted by all parties.

As he listened to the man's words, a gleam of brilliance flashed across Chanyuan Qing's eyes. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

This is a political rhetoric used in a political comedy called "Yes, Minister" that Zenin Qing had seen before.

When a reporter asks you a question you don't want to answer, you respond:

“That’s a good question, but the point is…”

The content between the ellipsis is what you really want to express and say.

It doesn't matter what he asks, it's what you want to say that matters.

The same applies here. If Zenyuan Qing follows the options given by that guy, the rhythm will always be in the hands of the opponent. The opponent is the one who attacks, and he is the one who receives the attack. No matter how well he defends, there will be a day when he makes a mistake.

Therefore, Chanyuan Qing had to bring the rhythm back into his own hands, and the man had obviously fallen into Chanyuan Qing's trap!

Zenin Qingwei took a deep breath, and then a very light expression appeared on his face, but it contained a strong determination:

"Being held accountable for the deaths? That's only natural! And not only that, we also want the person responsible to be the true murderer, or... someone who condoned the murderer, or even exploited the murder to achieve ulterior motives!"

When he said this, Chanyuan Qing's eyes suddenly became sharp, and in this dim environment, they were enough to make people's skin ache:

"Since you gentlemen wish to bring me here for questioning, I believe you must be familiar with my situation.

I, Zenin Kiyoshi, am a descendant of a distant branch family who is regarded as a "weak waste" in the Zenin family. By chance, I awakened some extremely rare cursed power, and "happened" to have some relationship with Lord Tengen in Okinawa. This seems to be all the information given to them about me.

But...you all don't seem to know much about me!"

When he said this, Zenyuan Qing took a step forward, and a tremendous amount of mantra power surged down from his body. The mantra power far exceeded that of a first-level sorcerer, causing everyone present to fall into a dead silence!

The next moment, the harsh old woman's voice rang out, with a hint of unbelievable sharpness:

"No, it's impossible?! How could you be so powerful?! How could the Zenin family allow such a genius to wander around?!"

The old voice trembled at this moment:

"It seems that the Zenyuan family has made a mistake this time. What do you want to do?"

The elegant man's voice remained calm, but his tone was much more polite:

"If it were an ordinary person, then he wouldn't have a third choice. But for you, I think three or four choices might be normal."

Zenin Qing was not too surprised by the reactions of the crowd. In this era when special-grade sorcerers were extremely rare, a powerful sorcerer without any background who had the potential to reach the special grade was simply too tempting for them to consolidate their power.

Zenyuan Qing didn't say anything. He just continued to maintain the flow of his mantra power, and said in a calm voice:

"No matter how many words I say, they are not as good as the facts you see before your eyes. Now that I have cleared up your misunderstanding of me, let me tell you my true opinion on this incident."

"The case in Beika Town was crudely done, and the signs of frame-up were too obvious. The murderer killed people who were my enemies. The suspicions here are too obvious, so I can conclude that this guy must have a grudge against me.

And in the detection of Senior Kyujuku Yuki, that part of the cursed power belongs to Zenin Fan... It seems that our relationship has come to this point?

I'm sorry, this involves an internal family matter, so I can't tell you. But now that it's time, I think it's time to conduct my own purge of the Zenyuan family!"

Chapter 141 Crazy Plan (Fourth Update, Main Story)

Chanyuan Qing's voice was not loud, but every word was like a knife, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

The old man coughed, his voice filled with an indescribable anger:

"Do you know what you're saying? You want to purge your own family?! After saying these words, what kind of price do you think you'll have to pay?!"

As the old man finished speaking, some members of parliament who had not spoken before also spoke up:

"He has no respect for his elders, no parents! To cover up his sins, he actually wants to attack the Zenin family who helped him in his time of need?!"

"Zenyuan Qing! Regardless of whether you are the murderer who killed those ordinary people today, you have been expelled from the high school based on what you said! We don't need a student with a cold heart like you!"

"It seems like you know you're in a desperate situation and want to use this method to make a final struggle? How ridiculous! Do you think the rest of us are idiots?"

There was an endless stream of accusations against Chanyuan Qing, and some extreme high-level officials even directly threatened to kill Chanyuan Qing here.

But Chanyuan Qing was not in a hurry, because he could feel that the senior officials who were currently opposing him and speaking out only accounted for less than one-third of the total number of people.

Some senior executives remain silent, and among those criticizing them, there are even some voices supporting them.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Chanyuan Qing's face.

This director of the Spell Department really has many different factions.

How can we manage the entire world of magic if we work with these insects?!

Chanyuan Qing has always been clear about his goals. Since he has decided to intervene in the fate of these people, he is prepared to do his best.
