Chapter 104 The Turning Point of Fate

Chapter 107 Turning Point of Fate

"You don't have to follow me."

After Sakurai Kogure left, Mu Qingzhi turned to look at the corner of the room and sighed helplessly.

"Let's not talk about Kogure, she's not that kind of person. Besides, she can't beat me."

"I'm just curious."

Shrugged slightly, and Mai Jiude appeared from the corner.

"By the way, did you make that potion?"

"Well, although the cost is too high, it's no problem to use it for a small supply."

Pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip, Mu Qingzhi nodded.

"Whether it's Sakurai Kogure or Sakurai Akira, they are actually innocent. They didn't do anything wrong. It's just that their innate bloodline sent them to hell. They don't ask for much. They just need a little light and hope... just like a moth that flies towards a light."

Looking up at Jiude Mai who walked to her side, Mu Qingzhi shrugged slightly.

"What the fierce ghosts can give them, I can also give them, and I can give more. In this case, it's not difficult for Xiaogure to make the right choice."

"You... forget it."

Shaking her head helplessly, leaning on the table, Jiude Mai turned her head and looked at the falling snow outside the window

"The new year is coming again. What do you think and plan for the next year? I heard from the head of the family that you are going to study at Kassel College?"

"It will be a few years later. Yuan Zhisheng and your sister will go next year."

Leaning her head with one hand, Mu Qingzhi curled her lips.

"As for the plan for the new year... I'll retire and wait for death after I climb to the position of director of the Executive Bureau. I'm good at this."

"Retire after becoming director, aren't you a little too unambitious?"

Lowering her head, Jiude Mai looked at the girl beside her speechlessly.

"You're kidding, I've already climbed all the way to the position of director, I've worked so hard for so long, can't I enjoy myself?"

While drinking the Coke in the cup, Mu Qingzhi hummed softly in her mouth.

"Keep playing music and dancing."

Jiude Mai: "..."

"Okay, let's go, let's go to the party."

Putting down the cup in her hand, Mu Qingzhi stood up.

"Life is short, enjoy it while you can, walk."

In early December 2001, Eri had what might be the happiest and most significant day in her past decade.

And then, time continued to flow backwards.

Since the potion that can transform the unstable bloodline of ghosts into safe bloodline was announced in the internal announcement of the Sheqi Eight Families, it has caused a small earthquake in the Sheqi Eight Families as expected.

You know, those ghosts all come from the main families of the Sheqi Eight Families. Although they were ruthless when they were sent away, how many people can not have feelings for their sons or daughters?

Although the price of a potion is quite expensive, after the announcement was made, the heads of the main families of the Sheqi Eight Families still gritted their teeth and invested in buying a lot.

At the same time, under the intentional dissemination of Uesugi Yue, the information about this potion was also quickly spread from the family.

This potion made by Mu Qingzhi with her omnipotent hands actually has only one effect, that is, to transform the dangerous bloodline born in the Sheqi Eight Families into a safe bloodline.

Of course, potions are not omnipotent, and Mu Qingzhi does not have so much thought and effort to devote all to making medicines, so she has added a few additional conditions for the use of the potion.

Not only is it only applicable to the White King bloodline, but once the user does something evil and kills someone and sees blood, the potion will not work.

But even so, the cost of a potion is still high. Even if only the cost price is calculated without processing fees, it has reached a full 10 million US dollars.

This high cost means that it is impossible to mass produce and can only be applied to certain aspects... But it is enough.

——At least during this period of time, the intensity of tasks in the Executive Bureau has decreased a lot.

During the New Year, Mu Qingzhi spent it with Eri and others.

Considering the situation of Sakurai Kogure and others, Mu Qingzhi also specially invited the brother and sister to come together, but although she only invited two people, there was a whole group of people who came.

... Then a group of people sat happily at the table and made dumplings.

In fact, Japan does not eat dumplings during the New Year, but New Year buckwheat noodles, but compared to this kind of noodles, Mu Qingzhi obviously likes dumplings more, so I started to change from me.

Although at first, Genchisei, Uesugi Yue, and Shude Mai didn't understand this, but after so many years, they gradually developed a habit...

Originally, Mu Qingzhi had specially prepared a surprise. In order to celebrate Eri's return, she put a few extra coins in a few dumplings this time, but unfortunately, she accidentally ignored the teeth of the monsters next to her.

So when Eri spit out the half-empty coin from her mouth with a confused look on her face, looking at the conspicuous and neat teeth marks on the coin, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but fall into silence. She was too embarrassed to say that this was a surprise she specially prepared...

Put up kadomatsu, pray at the shrine, red envelopes, New Year's cards...

Compared with the New Year traditions in China, Japan has also developed its own New Year traditions. Compared with previous years, this year, because of the addition of Eri and the removal of the knot in his heart, Uesugi Yue's smile on his face has almost never stopped.

Having wasted most of his life, he really didn't expect that at the age when half of his body had already been buried, he could still have a son and a daughter and spend the New Year with them.

After the New Year, 2002 officially arrived.

Thanks to the small black room-style oppressive manuscript urging and unremitting promotion of the Snake Eight Family, in this year, Takahashi Yashiro undoubtedly became a rising star in the light novel industry in Japan.

Also in this year, the work "Shakugan no Shana" was officially animated and then quietly went to the world.

In September of the same year, under the gaze of Mu Qingzhi, who had officially become the director of the Executive Bureau, Gen Chisheng and Shude Aki boarded a plane to the United States and officially started their journey of further study in the academy.

Because Uesugi Yue had informed Angers in advance, the academy gave the green light to the two of them for admission. Angers originally wanted to give Gen Chisheng an S-level bloodline, but in the end, they gave up because of Uesugi Yue's protest and only gave them A-level.

Then... November, the fateful month, quietly arrived.
