Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

Zenji Jinsuke shook his head helplessly. This girl had truly mastered the art of acting cute.

At least for him, the other person's coquettishness can solve 90% of the problems.

The remaining 10% was something he simply couldn't tolerate.

Chapter 33 How about I offer you the position of head of the family?

The Zen temple, inside the master's house.

Zenji Jikiji slammed the sake pot onto the table, looked at the two brothers before him, and said:

"Let Fushiguro Megumi change his name. Whatever you want, as long as the Zenin family can provide it, we'll give it to you."

In Fushiguro Megumi, he saw the hope of the Zenin family, the one who could perish together with the Gojo family's ancestor who had awakened to limitless power and possessed six eyes.

As long as Fushiguro Ei returns to the Zen-in family and grows stronger, the balance that Gojo Satoru broke will be restored.

Their Zen temple will also regain its former glory.

Zenjiro and Zenjiro exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a hearty smile.

"Old man, don't you ever ask for favors?"

"Did you get permission from the other members of the Zen family before doing this?"

Zenji Jinsuke found it quite amusing to see Naobito's determined attitude, as if he wouldn't give up until he got Fushiguro Megumi.

“I am the head of the Zen temple family. When have I ever needed their permission?”

Naoki looked furious. "It concerns the future of the Zenin family, so we don't need to consider their opinions."

He knew, of course, that the other members of the Zenin family had opinions about the two brothers, and even about Fushiguro Megumi, but so what?

That's the Ten Shadows Technique, a family heirloom, enough to make the Zen family the strongest in the world of spellcasting.

"I sold Hui to the Zen-in family because I was unable to take care of him. Now I have seen through many things and feel that I should take on the responsibility of a father."

So the deal with the Zenin family is cancelled. But don't worry, with all that Hui has learned at the Zenin family, I won't let him harbor any hatred towards them.

Shen Er, standing to the side, expressed his opinion.

It's impossible to get Hui to change her name, but considering the resources of the Zenin family, he won't deliberately make Hui maintain a hostile attitude towards the Zenin family.

This is the biggest concession he can make.

"I think this is good. If you want Hui to maintain a certain attitude towards the Zen family, you will have to work on it yourselves."

If you leave a good enough impression on Hui, he might remember your kindness when he becomes successful in the future.

Zen Monastery added ruthlessly.

The reason why our Zen temple family used to ignore us is that they can't even reach us now.

They never imagined that one day, the Zen family would bow down to them in this way.

Although it was only the head of the family's personal action, the fact that the head of the family had already bowed down to them already showed that the Zen family had lost, and lost completely.

"..."

Zenji Naokiji didn't say anything, but picked up the sake jug and took a big gulp. He knew that the two brothers would not forgive the Zenji family for their past behavior.

To be precise, Shen Er will never forgive.

After all, Zenji Shinsuke never cared about the Zenji family's opinion of him; he only saw the Zenji family as a place where he could take advantage of them.

"Shen Jie, do you want to be the head of the family?"

After a moment of silence, the Gibi people decided to make a decision that went against their ancestors' wishes.

"......??" Zen monks were quite surprised.

"You certainly have guts, but unfortunately, not many people in the Zen family think like you. You can keep the position of family head for yourself; I'm not interested."

Zen monk Jin Jie resolutely refused.

He understood the Jivi people's thoughts; once he became the head of the family, then Shen and Hui would essentially be locked into the Zen family.

He couldn't agree just because he wanted the Zen family's wealth and magical implements.

"Well then... let nature take its course."

The Naobi people stopped worrying about it. Anyway, the Zenin family hadn't had a single person who had awakened the Ten Shadows Technique before, but now at least there was one more.

Things are always better than before.

"The Zen-in family can provide Hui with all the resources without asking for anything in return. I only ask for one thing: if any of Hui's descendants awaken the Ten Shadows Technique in the future, they must take the Zen-in family name."

Following this trend, Hui will most likely become the head of the Zen family, and his descendants will most likely awaken the Ten Shadows Technique.

He would be satisfied as long as the Ten Shadows spell eventually returned to the Zen Temple.

"That depends on how deep your bond with Hui is."

Zen-in Shinsuke stood up and responded.

Neither he nor Shen Er could make a decision for Hui's future.

Moreover, it remains to be seen whether the Zen temple family will even survive in the future.

Shen Er also got up and followed him out.

Pushing open the door, I saw several figures standing outside.

Seeing the two come out, the group pretended to look elsewhere to cover up their eavesdropping.

Ignoring the others, Zenji Jinsuke walked towards the courtyard not far away, with Shinji following behind, a mysterious smile on his face.

Seeing how much the Zenin family valued his son, yet being unable to reciprocate his feelings, was even more satisfying than destroying the Zenin family.

"To be honest, you were actually a little tempted just now, weren't you?"

Shen Er looked at Zenji Jinsuke walking ahead and asked.

"What do you mean by 'heart fluttering'? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."

Zen monk Shen Jie flatly denied it.

The head of a mere Zen temple has only gained a little more wealth and an extra storehouse of mantras, hasn't he?

How much could a magic item storehouse sell for? Probably only the price of a few Wandering Clouds. How could he possibly be tempted...?

"By the way, if Hui becomes the head of the Zen family in the future, remember to have him hand over the management of the spell tool storehouse to me. I don't trust anyone else to manage such an important place."

Upon hearing this, Shen Er's lips twitched slightly.

He said he wasn't tempted, but he'd already planned for years to come. Luckily, he had all the good stuff in the Zen temple's magic tool storehouse on him.

Back at her residence, the courtyard was quite lively. Maki was practicing stick fighting, Megumi was practicing her techniques, and Mai was chatting with Mingming, who had arrived at some unknown time.

"Brother is back!"

Zhenyi shouted, and everyone turned their attention to the two of them.

"Mingming, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Zen Monastery's eyes lit up when he saw the perfectly intact Youyun lying next to Mingming.

Was it fixed so quickly?

"Hey, your spell tool, try it out."

Mingming tossed Youyun, who was beside him, to him.

Taking the cloud, Zen-in-chan waved it casually and nodded in satisfaction. "It's exactly the same as the original. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"You broke Youyun?" After a brief deduction, Shen'er guessed what Youyun had gone through.

"Can't I? It's as brittle as paper, isn't it normal for it to break? By the way, don't you have a lot of magical tools? Can I have another one?"

Zenji Jinsuke has his eye on Jin'er's armory, but one Yuyun isn't enough.

"Don't even think about it! Hui, let's go home."

Shen Er decisively took Hui Run away; if they stayed any longer, this shameless older brother would probably try to steal her away.

"Tch, stingy."

Zenji Jinsuke was somewhat displeased by this. Was their brotherhood really less important than a magic tool?

Seeing this, Mingming exclaimed, "You and your brother have such a good relationship."

With her intelligence, she naturally recognized Shen'er's identity. Besides, with the two of them standing there, who wouldn't recognize them as brothers?

"It's alright, your relationship with your younger brother is pretty good, isn't it?"

Zen-in-sensei responded with a single sentence.

"It seems you know quite a lot," Mingming said with a smile.

"It's almost lunchtime. Why don't you stay and have dinner before you leave?"

Zenji Jinsuke glanced at the sky and spoke.

"No need for dinner. How about we have a match? A friendly spar?"

She also came here with another purpose: to see if she could make further progress in her physical skills.

She has almost reached her physical limit in terms of strength, but she may still have shortcomings in terms of technique.

"Really? That works too."

For You Yun's sake, it wouldn't hurt to give him some pointers.

At least the other party had the mindset of becoming stronger, unlike Gojo Satoru, who was purely looking for a fight.

Chapter 34 Clang! Surprise!

"How do you want to fight?"

In the center of the spacious courtyard, the two stood facing each other, and Zenji Jinsuke asked a question.

"Just make me feel the pressure."

Mingming tied her hair up tightly and moved her wrists and body.

"Pressure? That's easy."

Zenji Jinsuke smiled slightly; he was best at putting pressure on others.

"Phew... Well then, here I come!"

He took a step forward, quickly closing the distance to his opponent, and with one fist clenched, launched a fierce attack at Zenji Jinsuke's chin.

Zenji Jinsuke leaned back slightly as the fist grazed his face, carrying a sharp gust of wind.

The power of this punch alone is undeniable, but its speed is somewhat lacking.

As her attack missed and Mingming prepared to spread out and launch another attack, a large hand was already pressed against her ribs.

A powerful force struck her, and she felt as if she had been violently hit by a dump truck, sending her flying backward instantly.

A backflip dissipated some of the force, and it took several steps back to regain his balance.

The waves of pain in her ribs made her realize that the other party was indeed good at applying pressure.

"It seems I still have a lot of room for improvement."

With a burst of power from his legs, he transformed into a blur and launched another attack, engaging in a fierce battle with Zenji Jinsuke.

With Zenji Jinsuke holding back, Mimi gradually caught up with his opponent's pace and began to make up for some of her shortcomings in technique.

The battle between the two created a terrifying gust of wind, forcing Maki and Mai to hide behind a large tree and watch the fight.

Maki's two bright eyes sparkled with excitement as she was completely captivated by the battle between the two.

"Is this what a battle between the strong is like? Is this Master's strength?"

Maki, who had no accurate standard for judging strength, was shocked by this physical duel.

Now, she was truly certain that even without spells or magical power, she could become incredibly strong.

Become as powerful as your master.
