I don't know how long it took, the absolutely closed room was opened, and Akino of Saionji Temple could finally see the light.

It's just that he hasn't been exposed to light for a long time, and suddenly letting the light in, will irritate his eyes.

After a slight blur of vision, it quickly returned to normal.

Saionji Akino lay on his side on the ground, looking at the figure outside the door.

"Help him loosen his ties, and then take him out to take a bath and eat." After Fujiwara Yoshiken left this sentence, he left first.

Soon after, someone came in to help him loosen his bonds, and he was respectful throughout the whole process, lest he offend himself.

Saionji Akino already roughly knew Fujiwara Yoshiaki's intentions at this time, and he also had a clear idea of how to face him next.

——

After bathing, eating, and applying a little ointment to his wrists and ankles, Saionji Akino returned to the tea room.

Fujiwara Yoshiken saw that Saionji Akino's spirit was still there, and even had an extra sharp energy, and he knew that his desired goal had been achieved.

He was abused for a day and a night in Saionji Temple, so that he could not eat, drink, or move, and could only be in absolute silence in the dark.

If you are a person with a weaker psychological capacity, it is estimated that you will soon collapse.

But he didn't.

Not only did he not, but the youthful spirit was not affected at all, but there was a transformation, and Fujiwara Yoshiaki had a measure in his heart, so he asked him to sit down.

Saionji Akino nodded, still showing respect to Fujiwara Yoshiaki. This kind of literacy in his bones can't deceive people, and his qi cultivation kung fu is even stronger than many adults.

Able to bend and stretch, it is a big husband.

Then it's time for the final step.

Fujiwara Yoshiken wanted to mobilize his ambitions.

"How did you feel last night?" He asked.

"It's bad."

"What's bad?"

"You can't eat, you can't drink, you can't move, you can't see anything, it's that bad."

"This is not only restricting your personal freedom, but even your right to live, I hold it in my hands."

Fujiwara Yoshiken sneered, "This is the power you refuse. ”

“……”

"Feeling resentful?" Fujiwara Yoshiaki observed his expression, and the anticipation in his heart grew stronger, and he had a very contradictory idea, both wanting to see the limit of the boy's patience, and wanting the boy to immediately obey the script in his heart and become what he wanted.

Saionji Akino shook his head, "I don't resent you. ”

"You mean I'm not ruthless enough?" Fujiwara Yoshiaki asked.

Saionji Akino shook his head and didn't speak.

Fujiwara Yoshiaki frowned, "Then you tell me, have you changed your mind?" He didn't really want to treat Saionji Akino so viciously, he just wanted to teach him a lesson, let him realize what power is like, and it is best to have a mood of complaining about himself, so that he can realize that accepting his own arrangement is the only way to take revenge on himself.

But now... Is this kid really not angry, or does he know how to answer to make me angry?

"It hasn't changed, no matter what, my thoughts won't change, I just want my mother to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but I, myself, am not interested in returning to the Fujiwara family, and I hope that Mr. Fujiwara will forgive me." Saionji Akino replied indifferently.

And at this moment, Fujiwara Yoshiaki was really angered by him.

He jerked to his feet, slammed the table, and threw the teacup to his side.

"And now! Now tell me, do you hate me?! ”

"I don't hate."

“……？”

Fujiwara Yoshiaki was stunned, his mood became extremely complicated, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "Those who don't have resentment are all soft bones, do you have no temper, or are you playing me now?" ”

"Don't be too naïve, kid, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to?"

Saionji Akino still shook his head.

Fujiwara Yoshiaki stretched out his hand and wanted to give Saionji Akino a slap, but when his palm was about to fall on his face, he paused when he looked at the young man's clear eyes.

Fujiwara Yoshiken was in a very conflicted mood at this time, he wanted Saionji Akino to have ambitions and ideas for the position of the heir of the Fujiwara family because he resented him, so that he didn't need to do anything else, and he could logically be included in the Fujiwara family.

However, he also wants to have a good relationship with Saionji Akino, and is willing to be insulted here for the sake of his mother's affairs, and he does not say that he resents his youth, this endurance, this filial piety, he has also seen in his life.

Although he has only spent more than ten hours together so far, he has also seen too many excellent qualities from him.

For such a teenager, he wants to stay, he wants to stay so much!

Maybe when he is dying, he will be the only one who can sincerely mourn him.

With the sadness and many complicated emotions in his heart, Fujiwara Yoshiaki withdrew his hand and sat down next to Akino of Saionji Temple.

At this moment, he seemed to have become more old, the wrinkles on his face were obvious, and the light in his cloudy pupils had dissipated a little, "The twisted melon is not sweet, I know this, but ah, child, do you know that the current situation of the Fujiwara family is not good, and it can even be said that it is very bad." ”

"Are there really no other heirs?" Saionji Akino asked.

"Heirs, everywhere, it's just their usual behavior, I see it in my eyes, a huge chaebol has raised too many gentlemen, all of them are some things that are corrupted by the outside of gold, if those people who are corrupted by interests are allowed to ascend to this position, the Fujiwara family will definitely fall from the first place."

"And with this sign, if there is another internal struggle, the chaebol will only become a fertile field eaten by pests, and sooner or later it will decay."

"The Fujiwara family... Will such a behemoth also have such troubles? "Saionji Akino thinks of many families that are rich for no more than three generations, and the Fujiwara family has been prosperous for so many years, does the current head of the family still feel precarious?

"Hahahahahahaha-" Fujiwara Yoshiken smiled happily as he listened to Saionji Akino's innocent words.

This kid has finally exposed his weaknesses, although he has a good mind in all aspects, but after all, he is too short-sighted and doesn't understand what some people will do for the sake of profit.

Now that is, he is not dead, and he can still suppress the demons and monsters below, if he dies...

Fujiwara Yoshiken laughed for a while and said, "Child, you are still too young, and there are many things you don't understand. ”

"Fujiwara, if I only cared about the surname Fujiwara, then I would have been able to ignore the things outside the window a long time ago, and I could be as casual as I wanted."

"The wealth and surname of the Fujiwara family will definitely survive for a long time, and I don't need to worry about it."

"But it is not wealth and family name that carries a family, but glory, soul, spirit."

"Glory is understandable."

"All the people who enter the Fujiwara family, even if it is just a maid, a garden worker, or a cook, they will inevitably be proud to work for the Fujiwara family, even proud."

"It's the glory that brings."

"And after glory, it is the soul, and the heads of the family have believed that as long as you have the surname of our Fujiwara family, then you will be born as a member of the Fujiwara family, and die as a ghost of the Fujiwara family, which is the belonging of the soul, it is higher than glory, but it is also born from glory."

"The last spirit, you must be wondering, why is it always so quiet here, everyone can do their job like a robot, and never complain."

"You must also feel that living here is very depressing, and sometimes it can be difficult to breathe, right?" Fujiwara Yoshiaki asked with a smile.

Saionji Akino was a little surprised and nodded.

This was indeed what he felt before.

"This is a rule I deliberately set, in order to temper their spirits, so that they can all spontaneously produce a collective consciousness of selfless dedication to the Fujiwara family, so that they all have the consciousness of dying for the Fujiwara family."

After listening to this, Saionji Akino felt that what he said was quite reasonable.

But unexpectedly, the next moment, Fujiwara Yoshiaki's painting style changed.

"Glory, soul, spirit, it all sounds like that."

"But if you see through its essence, this is actually a kind of domestication of human beings, that is, a means of controlling human beings."

“…… So what you just said is all false? ”

"Of course not, it's all true, glory, soul, spirit, and they can really feel it, but for the higher-ups, we can't immerse ourselves in the same world as them, you need to understand that."

"...... we?" Saionji Akino suddenly came to his senses, when did he start to receive Fujiwara Yoshiaki's teachings?

Fujiwara Yoshiaki shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't plan to force you now, but you want your mother to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and this purpose has not changed, right?" ”

"Hmm." Saionji Akino has an indescribable weirdness, although things seem to be going in a good direction.

But... Is this what Fujiwara Yoshiken wants to see?

This ability to guide people... It's really scary.

Saionji Akino began to be more vigilant, mainly to warn himself to stay sober and not to be guided as easily as he had just done.

"Well, the second way is that you need to complete three matches, and your opponent is playing..."

"Come in." Fujiwara Yoshiaki clapped his hands, and then from outside the door on the other side, a young man in a suit, about 178 tall, and an ordinary appearance walked in.

And this teenager is Nagi Fujiwara, who is dressed as a man.

"His name is Fujiwara Jimitsu, since you rejected me, then I need you to help me raise a new heir who will be useful to me, both of you will have to accept my test, and in the end, whoever wins will be able to let me meet his requirements."

"Well, kid, you're finally okay with that, aren't you?"

Fujiwara Yoshiaki asked with a smile.

Saionji Akino looked at the old man's smiling face.

Suddenly.

It seems that I have fallen into the pit.
