The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 303: Fatui Attacks the Tong Family

"Master, there seems to be something wrong around the family. Do you need me to send someone to check it out?"

"Hmm? Something's wrong? Is that old dog Kujo Takayuki plotting something again?"

Tong Shenjie, who had been fighting with Kujo Takayuki all his life, heard his most trusted and capable retainer say this. The first thing he thought of was his mortal enemy Kujo Takayuki, because only that old dog Kujo could have such means.

In order to ensure the safety of the Tong family, Tong Shenjie waved his hand and asked the retainer to check. After the retainer went down to investigate the situation, Tong Shenjie looked at his daughter who was still admiring the flowers in the yard and gave instructions.

"Go, let Qianli stay in the room. No matter what happens, don't let Qianli out. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, my lord."

After hearing Tong Shenjie's request, a group of retainers and maids took Tong Qianli, who was confused and had no idea what was going on, into the house and locked the door.

At the last moment when she was locked in the house, Tong Qianli also saw her father's face. Seeing her father's serious face, Tong Qianli couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that someone from a certain family came to propose marriage? But she already had someone in her heart and couldn't tolerate anyone else.

Tong Shenjie was indeed Tong Qianli's father. He was also muttering in his heart, could it be that Jiu Tiao Lao Gou came to propose marriage? Humph, he only had Qianli as his precious daughter. Jiu Tiao Lao Gou wanted his second son to marry Qianli. He must have some purpose.

Tong Shenjie was thinking about Jiujiao Xiaoxing's purpose in his mind but he didn't intend to object much, because he also knew that his precious daughter really liked Jiujiao Laogou's second son. As a father, he naturally wanted his daughter to live a happy life.

"Master, the young lady has been sent back to the house, but she seems a little unhappy..."

"Humph, just let her stay in the house. She is my daughter. How could I not know his little tricks?"

Tong Shenjie felt a toothache when he thought that his daughter might be eaten by the pig raised by Nine Old Dogs. Why didn't he have a son and why didn't Nine Old Dogs have a daughter? No, even if Qianli marries, the bride price cannot be less. It's time to kill Nine Old Dogs.

Thinking of the Kujo family's considerable wealth, Tong Shenjie's eyes were filled with greed. Although the Tong family had the richest financial resources among the three major families, the Kujo family was not bad either. It would be a good choice to take this opportunity to increase the Tong family's wealth.

"Master, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

"Why are they so flustered? Could it be that nine old dogs have brought people to surround our Tong family?"

"No, it's not."

"That's no problem. Take a breath and speak slowly. Otherwise, if someone sees us, they will say that our Tong family's retainers are rude."

Seeing that his confidant had no manners at all, Tong Shenjie couldn't help but scold him. The retainer who was out to investigate the situation heard what his master said, and after stabilizing his breathing, he slowly spoke.

"Master, a lot of fools suddenly appeared outside. It seems that they are coming towards our Tong family. Do we need to prepare in advance?"

"What! Faints? Are you sure you're not seeing things?" "Master, I can't be wrong. Although these Faints are disguised, I often deal with them and I can recognize them at a glance."

As Tong Shenjie's confidant, this retainer who often dealt with the Fatui could tell at a glance that those sneaky guys hiding in the dark were the Fatui who had done business with the Tong family.

Tong Shenjie's face turned a little ugly. Although the Fatui had some cooperation with their Tong family, due to some accidents recently, a lot of cooperation had been shelved. Could it be that they came here this time to pick up the cooperation again?

No, we can't cooperate with the Fatui anymore recently, even if we have to make enemies with them. If we continue to cooperate and are discovered by the boy from the Kamisato family and the girl from the Kujo family, then the Tong family will be in real trouble.

Having witnessed the methods used by Kamisato Ayato, Tong Shenjie had never doubted the mind of this young boy Kamisato Ayato. If Kamisato Ayato really got any evidence, the Tong family would definitely disappear from Inazuma, and he would use formal means to make the Tong family disappear from Inazuma.

Thinking of this, Tong Shenjie felt a little bitter in his heart. If they had known that the Yaenomiyaji would come forward to protect the Kamisato family, their Tong family would not have been so happy. If they had used their daughter to marry the boy from the Kamisato family, the Kujo family would have been taken over by the two families long ago.

"Alas, it's all fate. Tell our people to prepare for battle. Also, let the young lady leave through the secret passage. This is our business. Don't let her get involved."

"Master, then you..."

"No problem. I'll wait for them here. I want to see what the Fatui's purpose is."

Tong Shenjie stood in the courtyard. The only person in the entire Tong family that he cared about was his daughter Tong Qianli. The rest of the people could not even create value, so it didn't matter to him whether they were dead or alive.

"It seems that the Patriarch of the Tong family is already waiting for us. I haven't seen the Patriarch of the Tong family for a long time. I wonder how he has been doing recently."

A sinister voice suddenly sounded behind Tong Shenjie. The pupils of Tong family's retainer shrank and he immediately drew his samurai sword to protect Tong Shenjie behind him.

Tong Shenjie turned around slowly, and what caught his eye was indeed the Fatui who had been responsible for contacting the Tong family before. Tong Shenjie looked at the Fatui holding a weapon in front of him and said without any emotion.

"Fools, you said it was foolproof, but now that little girl from the Kujo family has discovered something unusual. You still have the guts to show up in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will expose everything?"

Having held a high position for many years, Tong Shenjie has an intimidating aura. Although the current situation is not clear for the Tong family, there is no panic on Tong Shenjie's face.

"Haha, Patriarch Tong, are you crazy? If you expose everything, your Tong family will be doomed."

Facing the ridicule from this Fatui, Tong Shenjie's expression remained unchanged. This Fatui felt something was wrong while laughing. How come Tong Shenjie, who usually nodded and bowed to them, the Fatui, seemed like a different person today?

"Master Tong, you don't think you can threaten us, do you? To tell you the truth, we, the Fatui, are here today to deal with this threat from you."
