The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 585: Battle for Ajian (26)

hum~
Qian Xiaoyi felt a vibration in his pocket. He took out his phone and looked at it, then put it back calmly and continued to say to Qijiao Zhengren:
"...Anyway, this is what Ms. Tachibana Mio asked me to tell you. You weren't feeling well a few days ago, so I came here specially today."

Nanajo Masato listened patiently to Qian Xiaoyi's message, and then replied in a very formal manner: "Regarding the marriage with Miss Tachibana, please tell her not to worry. This kind of thing is only messed up by the people on the board of directors. It is not my personal wish. They have no power to decide my affairs, and I will not let her become a victim of political marriage."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "You are still the same~ But it seems that you have been really troubled by the affairs of the consortium during this period of time."

"My situation has nothing to do with outsiders, right?" Nanajo Masato said, "If you have nothing else to do, please move aside. I have something important to do later. I came here only to promise Mr. Ken."

"Important thing?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Are we going to the hospital and using Ajian to remove the curse from your grandfather's body?"

Nanajo Masato ignored him and planned to go to the utility room to change out of the stuffy doll costume and then take Ken away.

"But I want to give you a piece of advice," Qian Xiaoyi said, "It's just a waste of effort."

Nanajo Masato stopped and turned to look at him: "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that my current approach is wrong?"

Qian Xiaoyi shrugged: "Using a pure spirit like Ah Jian to remove the curse... There is nothing wrong with this method itself, but the root of the problem is not the curse at all, right? Even if the curse is removed, it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure."

"As long as Grandpa can wake up, it will be fine!" Shichijo Masato shouted, "When he wakes up, he will definitely understand that Grandpa Axin is the murderer! He is the criminal who poisoned our family! As long as he can wake up, we can reverse everything and restore order within the consortium. If he hadn't been unconscious, those termites wouldn't dare to act so blatantly!"

"Really?" Qian Xiaoyi stared at the doll's head and asked, "Do you really think that Ah Xin has been with your grandfather for so many years, and your grandfather doesn't know anything? And the matter of Bai Gui and Lai Shan's success, since you think your grandfather is so powerful, he would not know anything at all?"

Qijiao Zhengren grabbed Qian Xiaoyi by the collar and yelled, "What are you talking about? My family is in danger, and you are still saying such sarcastic things!"

"I'm just telling you the truth." Qian Xiaoyi stared at him and said, "To be honest, I didn't know how tense your mental state was until I made that phone call a few days ago. It's my fault for not considering it carefully and even suspecting that you had contacted the Hundred Ghosts and became one of their people. I want to apologize to you for this...

Then I will officially tell you a fact now. Even if you are not here, your grandfather and your eldest brother will not necessarily be in danger. Perhaps because of your existence, they will be in greater danger. I still say that if you want to get rid of this situation, you must leave the consortium. Otherwise, you will not win if you play the game according to their rules. "

"You bastard! How could I abandon my family and clan?!" Nanajo Masato wanted to punch Qian Xiaoyi in the face, but his remaining sanity prevented him from doing so.

Qian Xiaoyi continued, "Think about it. First, your eldest brother has been hospitalized for several years. He may have been cursed at that time, but he is still alive. And your grandfather, if the curse in his body is really as huge as you said, he should have died long ago, but they didn't die. Why? Someone didn't want them to die, right?"

Nanajo Masato argued, "It's because of Grandpa Shin! He doesn't want my grandfather to die so soon, because then I will directly inherit the shares of the consortium! Become the largest shareholder! Then they won't be able to control me."

"Zhengren, I've already said that you can't win under their rules." Qian Xiaoyi said sternly: "The Qijiao Financial Group is a behemoth. Even if you are a major shareholder, you are alone, and everyone else is standing against you. What does this mean?
——It means that your existence has touched their interests. If those people want to protect their own interests, there are only two results. One is that you compromise and join them, and the other is that you disappear. Guess why, after your grandfather disappeared, no one in the consortium was willing to help you? All of them stood on the side of Shin? Where did your grandfather's loyal forces go? "Hearing this, Nanajo Masato's lips trembled, because he thought of a terrible possibility-he was the outlier in the consortium.

Qian Xiaoyi took the other person's hand away, straightened his collar, and continued, "As for your grandfather and your eldest brother, I am just guessing. Whether the enemy wants to use them or they are in league with the enemy, those people don't want them to die. After all, living people have greater value."

"Do you want me to just ignore them?" Nanajo Masato shouted excitedly, "But what about the curse on them? Curses are harmful, right? Then what's wrong with me using Ken to remove the curse?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "The idea is correct, but the execution is not in place. Indeed, a curse is not like being poisoned. It will only accumulate slowly under certain circumstances. Even if the other party finds out that you are clearing the curse from your grandfather's body, they will not be able to increase the curse again in a short period of time. If you continue like this, your grandfather will definitely wake up."

Just as Qiqiao Zhengren was about to say something, Qian Xiaoyi immediately said "but".

"But!" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "How many times can you do this?"

Nanajo Masato was stunned.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "The reason you don't want to take off that ridiculous hood is because you don't want me to see your current state, right? Although Ah Jian is the one who removes the curse, the curse has to pass through your body. You are not yet fully possessed, so if you don't stop this reckless behavior, the first person to fall will not be your grandfather, but you."

"Besides, you are taking a risk with Jian." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You are using his persistence to remove the curse. Although it looks like a deal, the huge curse will also harm Jian himself. He will be slowly eroded by the curse and resentment, and eventually become no different from an ordinary ghost... So I advise you to stop this behavior. It will be good for both you and Jian."

"After all...you still want to take Ken back, right?" asked Nanajo Masato.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's true. Have you read the latest news? There is a killer exorcist, so I..."

"I absolutely won't hand him over to you!" Nanajo Masato took off his hood, revealing a pale and tired face. He stared at Qian Xiaoyi: "What you said about my grandfather being a ghost... That's nonsense! I said I want to save my family, and even you can't stop me!"

"It's still like this..." Qian Xiaoyi sighed. He was worried about this situation. The environment around Shichijo Masato had assimilated him. In this guy's world, "family" is the first priority. No matter what outsiders say, they can't easily change his mind. The worst case scenario is that if his grandfather is really a hundred ghosts, then what will he do for the family?
"Looks like I need to let you calm down for a few days." Qian Xiaoyi suddenly said, "Possession is a heavy burden on ordinary people's bodies, and you actively absorbed the curse... This shows that you have been under too much pressure recently and have been too tense, so you have to resort to this method... So Ajian, lend it to me for a while, so that your body and mind can rest. Bye~"

After saying that, Qian Xiaoyi turned around and ran. Nanajo Masato realized something and looked back in the direction of the stage. Apart from a sea of ​​people, he could not see Inuyama Heita and Ajian.

Then he turned around and saw Qian Xiaoyi had already disappeared. Nanajo Masato, who was wearing a doll costume, couldn't catch up with him at all. He roared in the passage:

"Qian Xiaoyi!!!"
