Chapter 25: Conspiracy
Although the old man Zishuwu has been living a retirement-like life since Zishu Anya's death, living in seclusion in the alleys and alleys, and living in a courtyard house in a low-key manner, but since he learned that his bloodline still has a heritage, Zishuwu has shown his toughness. The courtyard house in City B has been beaten into the cold palace, and the former royal palace is now just the back garden of the Zishu family, and within 24 hours, the Zishu family held an emergency meeting, and after recognizing the identity of the Zishu Yaya, they issued an invitation to the other four families, inviting the patriarchs of the four major families and relevant cadres to come to country Z to participate in the party celebrating the return of the Zishu Yaya. But when it comes to celebrating, Zishuwu has his own plans in his heart, he is old, and of course he can't really manage affairs, and in the situation that he doesn't know how many years he can live, he is bound to arrange a way for Yaya in the future.
First of all, it is to meet the patriarch of the family.
Belonging to the garden courtyard of the Zishu family, Yan He saw for the first time that someone really used a whole mountain as a back garden, under the bright hall of Guangtang, the three of them met the three highest leaders of the Zishu family, Zishuwu, who had already taken care of him, was the dean of Qingfu Academy, and the current patriarch of the Zishu family, and the oldest of the contemporary heads of the four major families. The remaining two are Zishuwu's younger brothers, Yaya's eldest grandfather and second grandfather.
"This is Zi Shu'an, my second brother, your grandfather. "This is a meeting within the family, and in order to allow Yaya to integrate into the family faster, Zishuwu also specially shielded the junior members so as not to cause conflicts between the children.
Zishu'an also looks to be in his sixties, with gray temples but not very old, probably because he is fully responsible for the external affairs of the Zishu family, and he needs to maintain precision and spirit at all times in order to manage such a huge family. Zi Shu'an has a son under his knees, and Zi Shuwu did not allow juniors to participate in this meeting to prevent that nephew. Zishu Fugang only has one daughter under his knees, if there is no appearance of the night ya, the next patriarch, the most likely to be selected by the junior is Zishu Deming, the son of the Zishu Anren, and now the appearance of the night arrow is equivalent to breaking this situation, Zishu Wu himself also has some concerns, but fortunately he still knows that his own brothers are all committed to his decision.
Zishu Anren and Zishu Fugang, as Zishuwu's younger brother, is also Zishuwu's confidant, since Zishuwu became the patriarch, he has been doing his best to assist Zishuwu, in terms of loyalty, they say that there is no one.
"Grandpa. Since they have all accepted the fact that they are the members of the Zishu family, Yaya has no choice but to follow the old man's temperament and shout honestly.
Zishu'an only nodded slightly, although he is in charge of diplomacy, he is known as the "iron-masked diplomat", and looking unapproachable is his attitude towards everyone. Even Zi Shuwu, the eldest brother, felt that his younger brother seemed to be a little too cold, and he was worried that Nightly Ya would not accept himself as a grandfather.
Zishuwu's concerns are out of nowhere, Yaya felt the coldness of Zishu'an, but she was relieved a lot, she still didn't know the existence of Zishu Deming, and she hadn't worried about whether Zishu'an's coldness was because she robbed Zishudeming of the inheritance, as far as Yeya was concerned, she didn't reject cold people, after all, in the end, her temperament was also the type of cold to the outside, and Yan and their giggling were nothing more than because they were teammates.
Zishu Fugang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, although he and the girl in front of him met for the first time, but it was he who found this girl and introduced it to Zishu Wu, the night arrow that he saw in the holographic simulation scene, and now the Zishu night arrow in front of him, looks more clearly, whether it is compared with Zishu Anya or Zishu night, it is the same, which is more like Zishu night! Whether it is in terms of family affection or the future development of Zishu's family, Zishu Fugang feels that he is a hero from the bottom of his heart, and he can unearth such a treasure!
"Yaya, come, talk to the second grandfather. Before Zishuwu could introduce himself, Zishu Fugang had already revealed his heart in advance.
"Your second grandfather was the first person in the Zishu family to discover your identity, and it seems that he likes you very much, Yaya. Zishuwu laughed and pushed Yaya's back to signal Yaya to move forward.
Yaya has always been not very good at dealing with people who are too enthusiastic, and at this moment, seeing Zishu Fugang so enthusiastic, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in addition to embarrassment, it seems that several elders of the Zishu family are not femme fatales, and they are still very welcoming to her.
"Second grandpa is good. Yaya smiled, and when dealing with enthusiastic people, it is really necessary to have a warm attitude.
"These two juniors are Yaya's teammates, the Yan family's Yanhe, and the Hildo family, you all know each other, Alston. Zishuwu sat back on his throne and motioned for Yan to get acquainted with them and the two elders of the Zishu family. Yan He felt like he had taken a shit luck, but he was at the level of bronze but he got to know three venerable-level soul eaters, and they were all elders of the Zishu family who controlled country Z, which looked a bit like selling the night arrow in exchange for friendship, but since it had happened, it was better to accept it honestly.
Alston put away his uninhibited temperament, this is Yaya's family, for the sake of their future, he can no longer look at no one, so he has to bow his head and greet the two seniors, which makes Zishu Fuzuna very surprised - when did Hildo's little young master become so easy-going?
"Yan's family?" Zi Shu'anren narrowed his eyes, he left his seat and walked straight to Yan He's side. Although Zi Shu'an is old, his body is very tough, and he still walks like the wind, he walked in front of Yan He, looked up at Yan He's eyes, and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, Hildo really took a good hand, such a big hand, and he started planning more than ten years ago. He didn't laugh or tighten, and at this time, he was saying something that everyone couldn't understand, which made Yanhe mutter in his heart.
"So you are the sacrificial eye. After Zishu Anren said this, he sat back in his seat, and his words were a little confused, but soon Zishu Fugang explained his doubts.
"More than ten years ago, before your mother's accident, if the soul eater was possessed by the soul cup, the unwritten rule was suicide, do you know?" Zishu Fugang said: "But after your mother's accident, this unwritten rule became a rule of life imprisonment, do you know why?"
Two questions in a row, so that Yan He didn't know which one to answer for a while, he knew that the soul eater needed to be imprisoned for life after being possessed by the cup, and he was still unhappy with his mother at the beginning, but if what he needed before that was suicide, then now it seems that life imprisonment is a more humane way to deal with it, but what does this have to do with his sacrificial eye? and what does it have to do with the Hildo family?
"The Yan family," Zishuwu finally spoke, "The Yan family was still a student of the Qingfu Academy a few generations ago, but because they didn't produce a sacrificial eye, to be honest, the Qingfu Academy neglected them, even though they were one of the five great families of the world. ”
The world of the Soul Eater pays attention to strength, so there is a hierarchy like the Bronze Venerable, and the Yan family is the most special among the five major families of creation, it is not like other families in a straight line, but according to the birth of the sacrificial eye and the formation of the curve development, there is the existence of the sacrificial eye, the family will rise, without the existence of the sacrificial eye, the family will fall into a trough. After all, their Yan family does not have its own field of specialization like other families, except for the Soul Eater who has a sacrificial eye and can mainly attack the assassin, most of the Soul Eaters in the other clans are scattered, chanters, brave people, these are all there. In other words, the sacrificial eye represents the strength of the Yan family.
This is the truth that Yan and himself had nothing to do before, including the guidance of Niedegoff, but what does this have to do with his mother?
"After knowing that you are a sacrificial eye, Ray Hildo single-handedly persuaded the Soul Eater Association to make this unwritten rule a rule of death, from suicide to mandatory life imprisonment, now do you understand?" Zishuwu said.
It's not that the Zishu family and the Hildo family have a grudge, that's why they often hate Hildo. Yan He suddenly understood what Zi Shuwu meant in an instant, because he was a sacrificial eye, so Ray Hildo had to change that rule to save his mother's life, and all this was nothing more than to win the favor of the Yan family, so that Yan He could successfully enter the St. Hildo Academy and become a member of the Hildo family. His father's choice of St. Hildo's College over Kiyoo College may have been largely a return for his kindness, saving his mother's life in exchange for the favor of the Yan family, in the end, it was like a deal.
Night Ya's heart pinched a cold sweat, she knew the inside story of this matter, this is indeed a small trick of Ray Hildo, a gamble, but Ray won the bet, and now it is debunked that he is out of the woods, and the impact of words and hearts must be great, maybe he will choose to leave St. Hildo's academy at once.
Yaya felt that her position was very embarrassing for a while, she regarded St. Hildo's College as her home for eleven years of survival, and she had long been symbiotic with the Hildo family in her heart, but this change made her have to oppose Hildo, just because her bloodline belonged to the Zishu family. She always knew that Ray Hildo was a scheming man, but she didn't know that she was also included in it, and she didn't know the intentions of concealing her identity from the Zishu family, but she couldn't do it for a while, after all, he and Julidia were the ones who raised her over the years, not the Zishu family.
"I see, thank you, senior. When he said this, he did not know for a moment what he was feeling in his heart, but he suddenly remembered that it was his master, who had only met him in St. Hildo, and he would not deny this fact.
