The elegant and beautiful Tohsaka Aoi, with her long black hair, stroked Rin and Sakura's heads. Although she didn't want to see her children being given away, it was a decision made by Tohsaka Tokiomi himself.
She would support any decision Tokiomi Tohsaka made.
"Besides, this is also for Sakura's sake. We don't want to see her end up as an ordinary person."
So, in the end, it's all the magician family's fault.
If the Magic Crest could only be passed on to one person, none of this would have happened.
For the first time, such a thought flashed through the mind of young Rin Tohsaka.

Meanwhile, Tokiomi Tohsaka was at a loss as to what to do.
After all, it seems the Matou clan has already been wiped out?
"Tokiomi, you've arrived."
Just then, from a pile of building ruins nearby, a short, elderly man with a cane slowly appeared in front of the Tohsaka family.
"Mom, are you really going to give Sakura to someone like that?"
Having absolutely no liking for this old man, Rin finally whispered to Aoi Tohsaka.
"..."
This time, her mother did not respond to her but chose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Zouken Matou were already talking together.
"I don't know who attacked me, but the situation is still under control, and I will catch the culprit soon."
Despite being an ally of the Matou family with whom they had maintained diplomatic relations for generations, Zouken Matou still had to maintain a certain level of politeness on the surface.
Moreover, it is crucial to project an image of complete control at this crucial moment; otherwise, it might discourage Tokiomi Tohsaka from making a move.
The line of magicians in the Matou family had completely ended with Matou Kariya. He had lived for so many years solely to obtain the Holy Grail.
Even if the Matou family has no successor, it is still necessary for a magician to represent the Matou family.
If Zouken Matou were to obtain the Holy Grail, his first wish would be to achieve immortality.
"Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help."
Tokiomi Tohsaka was somewhat worried, but after thinking about Sakura's situation, he decided to send her to the Matou family so that she could learn the Matou family's secret techniques and not become an ordinary person in the future.
"Sakura, come here. From now on, you'll be living with the Matou family."
After the adoption was completed, Sakura Tohsaka's name was changed to Sakura Matou, which meant that from then on, Sakura became the heir to the Matou family's magic and had no relation to the Tohsaka family.
"Hehe... That's for the best. From today onwards, there is hope for the future of the Matou family." Matou Zouken and Tohsaka Tokiomi shook hands.
Zouken Matou and Tokiomi Tohsaka exchanged polite, official pleasantries.
Little did he know that he was about to end his life of several hundred years.
Unbeknownst to the Tohsaka family, Li Chaofei had also prepared a 'gift' for them.
A 'gift' that could break their hearts! (The last sentence appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
Chapter 125 Good intentions don't always lead to good results; mistakes must be punished!
"Sakura, come here. Until the Matou family mansion is fully rebuilt, we'll stay temporarily at one of the Matou family's other properties."
Zouken Matou revealed a smile that was even uglier than a grimace, and waved to the bewildered and frightened black-haired girl.
"Go on, Sakura. Rin and I will come to see you often." Aoi Tohsaka released Sakura's hand from hers and gently patted her back.
"Mom...sister..."
Confused, weak, pitiful, helpless.
These are the words that describe Sakura's current situation.
"..." Rin Tohsaka saw her sister looking at her, and forced back her tears, turning her head away.
"Go, Sakura."
Tokiomi Tohsaka was also calling her name.
The young girl walked towards Zouken Matou with a sense of panic and helplessness. At that moment, she suddenly felt that her parents and older sister, who were usually kind and gentle, had become so unfamiliar, as if they were complete strangers.
But what does she, at only 6 years old, understand now?
With her parents' support, she didn't know how to refuse and could only follow along cautiously.
Just as Zouken Matou was smiling and Tokiomi Tohsaka was breathing a sigh of relief, a mature man's voice suddenly rang out.
"I do not acknowledge this adoption."
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Upon hearing the dissenting voices, even the young Rin's eyes lit up with hope for a moment.
"One One Zero"
But when he saw that the person who came was the same 'lolicon' he had met yesterday, his face darkened again.
The adults present also looked over at the same time.
A handsome man with dark eyes and black hair appeared behind them at some point.
Without giving anyone time to ask questions, Li Chaofei raised his hand, clenched his fist at Matou Zouken, and then opened his palm.
As he did this, Zouken Matou, who was standing not far away, split into countless insects and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka was furious. To attack the Matou family, who were also one of the three founding families, right in front of him was a clear disregard for the Tohsaka family, or rather, for Tokiomi Tohsaka himself.
This was intolerable to the proud Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"you...."
"Shut up!"
As Li Chaofei finished speaking, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka were sealed by the power of the 'Word Spirit'. Without Li Chaofei's release, they could no longer speak.
"Just watch closely and see what you mean by 'good' for Sakura."
"What an abyss it pushed her into!"
At that moment, the insects that Li Chaofei had just scattered reunited and transformed into Matou Zouken.
Seeing this scene, not only were young Sakura and Rin shocked and disgusted, but even the Tohsaka couple were also shocked and disgusted.
"So many bugs!!"
A look of terror appeared on Rin Tohsaka's youthful face as she watched the swarm of insects coil and twist before her eyes, transforming into Zouken Matou.
This scene evoked in her aversion to anyone she had never felt before!
As Tokitomi Tohsaka and the others have mentioned before, the Matou family is famous for its insect magic and was established as a family.
They all thought it was an insect-controlling technique, just like the gem magic in their family.
But if these insects are used to modify magic circuits on a person's body, or even if the entire body is made up of these disgusting insects, who would accept it except for perverts and masochists?
At this moment, Zouken Matou, who had completely reassembled and returned to human form, spoke: "Hehehehe!"
"No matter where you're from, you're here now, so don't even think about leaving!"
You have to understand that he didn't live those five hundred years for nothing!
Besides researching ways to obtain the Holy Grail, he also trained his insects.
Take the Tohsaka family for example. If a real fight broke out, Tokiomi Tohsaka wouldn't be a match for them!
Then, countless marking insects emerged from the ground and instantly covered the entire ground. A dark sea of insects surged towards Li Chaofei's direction.
It looked exactly like the wet, salty trails left on the ground by the worms between a man's legs; just one look was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Wait...wait a minute..." Rin Tohsaka cried out in distress as she watched the swarm of insects rush towards Li Chaofei.
If you were to be overwhelmed by these insects, even a fool could imagine what would happen next.
If the insects are allowed to run rampant, the man probably won't even have any bones left.
Although this person had teased her, it would be too cruel for him to die like this.
"..."
Although Sakura Tohsaka didn't recognize this strange older brother, she still felt worried about the person who wanted to help her.
However, at only 6 years old, she couldn't do anything.
"dissipate."
As soon as Li Chaofei finished speaking, the vast swarm of insects instantly turned to ashes and vanished with the wind.
And looking at this scene.
Whether it was Zouken Matou controlling the swarm of insects, the Tokiomi Tohsaka couple standing dumbfounded, or the Tohsaka sisters who were powerless to stop it, they all stared wide-eyed in shock.
That was a sense of bewilderment and confusion about the unknown.
"How can it be!?"
A voice, distorted in tone, struggled to escape from Zouken Matou's throat. His most powerful attack method was gone just like that?
How can it be?
Even if those old guys from the Magicians' Association came, they should have been in a tough fight. The swarm of insects just vanished without a trace.
But reality didn't give him much time to think.
Li Chaofei smiled and waved to Matou Zouken. Then, a sudden surge of fear inexplicably made Matou Zouken take several steps back.
"Bam—!"
A ray of light, invisible to the naked eye, flashed past Tohsaka Tokiomi, and then Matou Zouken's aged body instantly turned into smoke and dissipated, just like his insects.
Until his final death, Zouken Matou did not know what power had killed him.
He died without any explanation!
And after his complete death.
"Pah pah pah~!"
Li Chaofei clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the Tohsaka family, who were still in a daze.
"Alright, the annoying bugs are dead, so it's your turn now." Looking at the Tohsaka family with their various expressions, Li Chaofei said to the Tohsaka couple, "You can speak now."
"Who exactly sent you, Your Excellency? What is your purpose?" Upon hearing Li Chaofei's words, Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately asked.
Zouken Matou died, and after witnessing Li Chaofei's unreasonable strength, he immediately changed how he addressed him.
"I'm here to save Xiaoying, take her away and give her a good childhood, and incidentally, to give you two a 'big gift'," Li Chaofei said with a light laugh.
After speaking, Li Chaofei paid no attention to their reactions.
He squatted down and faced the black-haired girl standing between Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka, saying, "Sakura, come with me."
When these words clearly reached Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka's ears, their first reaction was that it wouldn't work.
How could she possibly entrust her own daughter to a magician of unknown origin?
“Let’s go, Sakura. Once you’re here, no one will be able to hurt you,” Li Chaofei said.
"me..."
Sakura Tohsaka looked at Li Chaofei, then at Tokiomi Tohsaka, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
He looked like he wanted to take a step forward but was troubled by family ties.
"Don't be fooled, Sakura."
“We still don’t know this man’s identity, you can’t just go with him like this.” Tokiomi Tohsaka stepped forward and blocked Sakura’s path.
Now, he's thinking about why this man would want his daughter.
Having the power to kill Zouken Matou in an instant, Tokiomi Tohsaka thought he would also take care of him, but things took an unexpected turn.
“Speaking of identity issues, the deceased Zouken Matou is the one with real problems,” Li Chaofei said with a half-smile. “Knowing that the Matou family inherits insect magic, he still adopted the unsuitable Sakura.”
"It's a bit unworthy of a father to do this."
