Shiki followed behind Aokazaki Fushi, constantly observing his surroundings.
No wonder this place was surrounded by a large-scale barrier! If he were to search alone, he did not know how long it would take him to find this place.
"Uncle, how much longer will it take?”
Shiki asked Aokazaki Fushi, who seemed to be searching for something. After having lunch at their house, Shiki and Aokazaki Fushi went to the mountains in the suburbs.
They left for the entire afternoon.
"Let me see…They would arrive in about ten minutes.”
"Is that so…However, this place is really well hidden…"
He looked around and saw that some of the hidden traps had already been removed by Ashozaki Fushi. Some of the traps would have been extremely troublesome even for Shiki if he didn't use his Demon Eye.
"I have no choice…After all, this was the forbidden area of the Aoran Qi Clan. Other than Cheng, the rest of us don't come here often. Qingzi only came once when she received the magic mark.”
Shozaki told Shiki helplessly. Even his own people weren't familiar with this place.
"Well, that's true."
Soon, he brought Shiki to a cave.
"Wait! Uncle, wait a minute…Something feels wrong inside."
Shiki stopped smiling and stared at the cave with a serious expression. He had a very bad feeling inside the cave, as there were two different types of magic power confronting each other.
"What happened?"
Shozaki Shiku also reacted. He had a feeling that he wanted to run away. His sixth sense was frantically reminding him that this place was very dangerous!
"The situation inside should be very complicated now. I'm not sure either. Anyway, you go first."
Shiki sneered as he looked at the cave, his eyes glinting.
"Be careful!"
Shozaki looked at Shiki with a complicated expression. He gave Shiki some instructions and quickly ran in the direction he had come from.
After he left, Shiki looked in the direction of the cave and laughed contemptuously.
"Interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing. What good luck!"
Shiki slowly walked into the cave. There were three people standing opposite each other inside.
Two men and one woman.
The tall man in the priest's outfit and glasses should be Yongli Wenbing, the short orange-red hair in the green suit should be Cheng, and the short old man must be the old mage of the Aosaki family.
"Oh? So lively? Bring me along."
"Who is it?"
Cheng asked in a low voice. They all looked in the direction of the cave entrance.
A young man walked in with a lazy smile on his face.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old man looked at Shiki doubtfully. He definitely wouldn't have come here without a guide. The barrier was not activated. It was definitely not a coincidence. Someone had brought him in!
"Old man, I heard that you're very strong, so I decided to come and see the Fifth Magician.”
"Another young and reckless brat. What a joke.”
The old man's face was expressionless. Did everyone treat him as an easy target to bully?
The situation was in a deadlock again. When a third party interfered, no one dared to act rashly.
"Brat, I advise you not to get involved in this mess. I'll deal with you after I settle my family matters.”
"Is that so?"
Shiki couldn't deny this and chuckled. Even if this old man had some trump cards, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Nothing. I just have something to ask you.”
"What?"
"Why did you let Qing and Cheng kill each other? Don't tell me about inheritance, that's impossible! Since you knew from the beginning that Aoko would inherit the fifth method, why did you cultivate Cheng?”
“......”
The old man didn't reply. He just looked at Shiki in silence.
"What do you mean? Why did Grandfather ask me to kill Qingzi? And what did he mean by knowing from the start that Qing Zi would inherit the fifth technique?”
Cheng's eyes were filled with anger. These people treated her as a fool, as if she was the only one who was kept in the dark.
"It literally means, if I don't come. This old man will probably use the person beside you to commit suicide and then turn into a spirit body to hide and watch the farce of you two sisters loving and killing each other. As for Qing Zi, the fifth spell could interfere with time. What was wrong with being able to observe a little bit of the future?”
"Wha... 'What…' How is that possible?"
Cheng was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. He felt as if he was in the Arctic.
She had never thought that her grandfather would do such a thing! Playing with the two sisters like toys…Since the heir had been decided from the beginning, why didn't he make it clear from the beginning?
"Hey, priest over there! You should have seen through this old man's plan, right?”
“......”
The silence of the people around her made Cheng's hair stand on end. She looked at Wen Bing Yong Li in disbelief.
"Why?"
“......”
The man remained silent and did not answer her question.
"What? Am I the only idiot here?”
Cheng smiled, but his smile was a little sad. Her life was like a puppet that she had made, being played around by others…Was everything arranged…
"Don't worry. At least I'm on your side.”
"Why? I don't think we've met before…"
"Of course not now, but in the distant future…"
