Full-Time Magister: A Unique Divine Gift, A Fusion of Magical Systems!

After the private conversation ended, everyone was called back to the banquet hall.

Shao Peiyu remained calm, as if the conversation that had just been so powerful in changing his fate had never happened.

Mitsofilia, who followed closely behind, seemed like a completely different person.

The coldness and majesty on her face vanished, replaced by an almost gentle courtesy. When her gaze fell on Shao Peiyu, it even carried a hint of barely perceptible respect.

This dramatic change left everyone in the banquet hall, who had been waiting to see Shao Peiyu make a fool of himself, completely stunned.

Zu Xiangtian's smug smile froze on the spot, while Zu Bo frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Metsophia walked slowly to the center of the banquet hall, cleared her throat, and her voice carried clearly throughout the hall, bearing the unique majesty of the Holy City's judges:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare that Mr. Shao Peiyu is the most distinguished guest of the Holy City. From this day forward, no one, no force, within the territory of the Xia Kingdom shall dare to cause him any trouble or harassment. Anyone who violates this will be considered an enemy of the Holy City, and the Court of Judgment will pursue the matter to the end without any leniency!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on Shao Peiyu, filled with shock and disbelief.

The Zu family father and son were struck dumb, their faces turning deathly pale instantly.

Their meticulously planned banquet was intended to use the Holy City to suppress Shao Peiyu, while simultaneously securing a position as a judge in the Institute of Judgment for Zu Xiangtian.

But now, not only has Mitsophia not pursued Shao Peiyu's crime of usurping the "Holy Order," but she has also treated him as a distinguished guest of the Holy City and openly declared that she would protect him!

This is simply shooting yourself in the foot!

Zu Xiangtian clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, his heart filled with jealousy and hatred, yet he dared not show it in the slightest.

Zubo's face was even more unpleasant than if he had swallowed a fly; his lips twitched, but he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

As if that wasn't enough, Mitsophia turned to look at Zu Xiangtian, whose face was ashen, and said in a calm but authoritative tone: "Zu Xiangtian, regarding your entry into the Inquisition as an Inquisitor, I need to consult Mr. Shao. If Mr. Shao agrees, the matter will be settled; if Mr. Shao disagrees, the matter will be dropped."

"boom!"

These words struck Zu Jia and his son like a thunderclap.

Zu Xiangtian was completely dumbfounded. The position of judge he had dreamed of was now something that Shao Peiyu could decide with a single word.

Zubo was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he dared not say a word.

He stared intently at Shao Peiyu, his mind racing with speculation: What methods did this kid use? Was his Holy System truly valued by the Holy City, or... did a woman named Mitsophia take a fancy to this kid's appearance?

Regardless of the possibility, the outcome would be extremely unfavorable to the ancestral family.

At this moment, Zu Xiangtian's future was entirely in Shao Peiyu's hands.

Zu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing all his anger, and forced a stiff smile. He quickly walked up to Shao Peiyu and spoke in an elder's tone:

"Pei Yu, look, our two families have been on good terms for generations, and Hui Yin is your uncle's secretary. We work closely together and are like family. Xiang Tian has always admired you, so please be kind and give him a chance."

These words were spoken in a humble tone, completely devoid of the arrogance of a former elder of a prominent family.

Shao Peiyu sneered inwardly.

A family that has been on good terms for generations? Over the years, the Zu family has made things difficult for Uncle Shao Zheng, both openly and secretly, by planting Zu Huiyin, an undercover agent, by their side. They are eager for the Shao family to fall. Do they really think he doesn't know?

Since the Zu family had come to him of their own accord, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

As it happens, he is currently troubled by two things—the Soul Vessel and the Magic Stone Mine.

Shao Peiyu raised his eyes, his gaze calm as he looked at Zu Bo, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable force: "Uncle Zu, you're too kind. However, I do have two minor troubles lately. If the Zu family can help me resolve them, then Xiang Tian's matter will naturally be easy to discuss."

Zu Bo's heart tightened, but he could only force a smile: "Pei Yu, just say the word. As long as the Zu family can do it, we'll have no objections!"

"The first thing," Shao Peiyu began slowly, "I've heard that the Zu family possesses an ancestral secret technique called the Curse Possession Technique. It requires sealing the soul of a demon within a specific magical artifact to borrow its power. It seems the Zu family has considerable expertise in the art of souls, and I happen to lack a high-quality vessel for the dead. I wonder if the Zu family could spare one?"

Vessel of the Dead!

Zu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. This item might be precious to others, but it wasn't anything rare for the Zu family, who were skilled in soul-soul techniques. They even had several high-quality ones in their inventory.

He immediately agreed, "No problem at all! Don't worry, Pei Yu, I'll have someone deliver the top-grade soul-binding artifact treasured by the Zu family to your residence tomorrow!"

"Very good." Shao Peiyu nodded slightly, then made his second request.

"The second matter is that I'm currently building a magic amusement park in the Eastern New District, which requires a large supply of magic stones. Unfortunately, I don't own any mines, and the procurement costs are too high. I've heard that my ancestral family has businesses all over Shanghai, with numerous mineral veins. I wonder if... they could grant me a magic stone mine?"

"What?!"

Zubo's smile froze instantly, his face darkened in a flash, and his lips twitched.

A magic stone mine!

Even for a large family with a deep-rooted heritage like the Zu family, mineral veins are core assets, each one hard-won and containing enormous wealth and benefits.

That kid Shao Peiyu really dares to ask for an exorbitant amount!

He was about to refuse when he caught a glimpse of Mitsophia looking at him coldly out of the corner of his eye. Her eyes carried a clear warning, as if to say: You can't even handle this small matter, yet you want Zu Xiangtian to enter the Court of Judgment?

Zu Bo felt a chill in his heart, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, unable to express his bitterness.

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he asked, "Pei Yu, this mine is no small matter... I wonder what scale you're looking for?"

Shao Peiyu naturally knew that this matter was quite difficult, and he didn't want to push people too far. After all, all he wanted was a mineral vein that could support the operation of the amusement park, not one for trade.

He said casually, "It doesn't need to be too big, small and unmined will do, enough for my amusement park's daily needs."

Small mineral vein!

Zu Bo felt somewhat relieved. The Zu family did indeed own several small, remote magic stone mines, with average reserves and low mining value, which had been left idle.

Giving up one of our buildings is painful, but still within our means.

Moreover, for the sake of Zu Xiangtian's future, he had no choice but to accept this debt!

"Fine!" Zubo gritted his teeth and agreed. "I promise you! Within three days, I will officially transfer ownership of a small magic stone mine to your name!"

Shao Peiyu nodded in satisfaction, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Uncle Zu is indeed straightforward. In that case, I have no objection to Zu Xiangtian's matter."
