Chapter 645 Cruelty (Thanks to Old E for His Silver Alliance

"Eh?"

Maki stayed for a long time, looking blankly at Satomi Kujing next to her.

The young samurai was also looking at him with a sincere expression.

In the brief silence, Maki pondered and said: "Cousin, I am just a country girl, and I am not too smart, and I can never be fashionable. So, my mother told me since I was a child that if I don't understand If so, you should ask directly and speak directly. Even if it offends people, it is better than pretending to be powerful and only being looked down upon.

I actually have a lot of questions to ask, but this is really rude... You wouldn't mind, right? "

He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Please speak."

Maki thought for a long time and asked directly: "So, cousin, do you hope that I will betray Miss Kohaku and switch to your side?"

"It doesn't matter even if you are not with me. If anything, I just want to keep you away from this quagmire." Jiujing replied, "Maki, you don't belong here. It's not that I have contempt for you, but you It’s not the place to get involved in such dirty things.”

"Cousin, do you know my situation?"

"I have investigated a little and heard a little." Jiu Jing took out a string of rosary beads from her sleeve and handed them over: "So, I brought this to you."

The aged coral rosary has a faint fluorescence and a faint source of fluctuations.

The treasures from Tiantai Sect are also treasures used by monks to get closer to the Buddha nature and awaken their souls. After hundreds of years of blessing, it is no less than any relic. It is a Buddhist treasure that can be treasured in any temple.

Usage is simple and there are no restrictions. You just need to meditate with it, uphold the Buddha's precepts, and nothing else. Within three years, chanting the sutra 100,000 times can condense the soul like water droplets.

Every time you chant with concentration, you put your own essence into it little by little. As long as you have enough concentration and hard work, and three years of absolute concentration, this constant nurturing is enough for anyone to become a sublimator.

Unfortunately, not everyone can do it.

Not everyone can have such determination and perseverance. Even among devout and dedicated monks, there are still very few who can actually complete this long ascetic journey.

However, it is still a solution.

Maki looked at it for a long time but didn't take it, "Cousin, are you trying to bribe me?"

"This is not a price, it is just a help provided by my brother."

Maki thought for a while and asked: "I can refuse the help, right?"

"It's up to you to accept or reject. This is not a recruitment price. You can actually accept it with confidence."

"...Although I really want it, let's forget it."

Maki shook her head: "Sorry."

Jiu Jing nodded, "I know it's abrupt to come here suddenly and say these things, so it doesn't matter."

"No, it's not that I have any problem with you, it's my own problem."

Maki smiled a little embarrassedly and looked at the relatives who were looking at her not far away: "Cousin Shizue, a country girl comes here and faces the people in the city. It's enough for her to be able to straighten up and speak. It’s very difficult. After lowering my head once, I’m afraid I won’t have the courage to raise my head again.”

"..."

Jiu Jing was stunned. After a long silence, she lowered her head and apologized: "I was rude."

"It doesn't matter, my cousin also means well."

Maki said solemnly: "So, I have to confess something before I can reply to you - thank you for your help, but I'm sorry, I won't give up."

"That's so straightforward, Maki."

Jiu Jing sighed in a low voice: "You don't even have a chance to talk wisely. Should I call you stupid or tricky? Maybe you are more powerful than I thought."

He shook his head mockingly: "Failure is expected. However, although the next words may be regarded as a villain, I still have to tell you."

After a brief pause, Satomi Kujing told her: "Please be careful with Kohaku."

""Cousin, are you saying that Cousin Amber is taking advantage of me? "Maki asked doubtfully: "I still know this for the time being. "

"If it's just taking advantage of you, then why didn't I just take advantage of you?"

Jiu Jing shook her head, "I just want to tell you that that woman... does not have the warmth and compassion you imagined, and she is not someone you can trust.

Maki, among all the candidates for the head of the family before you, she is the only competitor that I care about. To be precise, I was terrified of that woman's presence.

It is true that the Satomi family has declined now, but if that woman becomes the next head, I am afraid there will no longer be a Satomi family in the future.

I have known since eight years ago that she is a cold-blooded monster without any emotion. "

"So...it's a bit too much."

Maki frowned, "Is cousin Kohaku such a scary person?"

"Do you know who was the head of the Satomi family before my adoptive father?" Jiujing asked, "It was Kohaku's biological father."

The girl was stunned.

"Yes, Kohaku is the orthodox princess of the Satomi family, and she is also the heir apparent with the true right to inherit.

Eight years ago, when everyone saw her, they would bow their heads and even kneel beside her and call her "お Ji様". No, it seems now that she was actually abnormal earlier. "

Satomi Jiujing lowered her eyes and said softly: "She has been different from us since she was very young."

She has always been demure and peaceful, never getting angry or laughing, just like a doll. Jiujing once followed the noble princess like those other children, eager to become her friend.

Even though she never cared about them.

Noble and distant.

Like a phantom.

This beautiful illusion lasted until eight years ago.

The Satomi family made a fatal mistake, and the general was furious. The violent power was exerted on the land of Yingzhou without any restraint, like a black cloud pressing over the top, making everyone panic all day long.

The elders of the family argued all day long about who was responsible for the destruction caused by this slight, but the leader remained silent and could not make a decision.

With everyone betrayed and separated, everyone could only wait with open eyes for the end to come.

"Have a caesarean section, father."

Jiujing, immersed in memories, whispered softly, "She said so at that time."

In front of everyone, he said cold words that made them all unbelievable.

Amber, who was only eleven years old, knelt down in front of her closest blood relative in the world, lowered her head, and made a heartfelt plea.

"Please have a caesarean section, father." She said, "The Satomi family has reached a critical moment of life and death. As the head, there is no other way to wash away the shame."

In that frozen silence, no one spoke. Only the Lord's face gradually turned pale, and he was speechless as he looked at his daughter who was kneeling in front of him to beg.

"Please don't be afraid, Father."

She lowered her head and said softly: "I will help you end it."

This was the last sound that Jiu Jing heard in the corridor. In his daze and panic, he didn't even notice that the tea in his hand fell to the ground.

Just like she said, there is no other way.

Only in this way can mistakes be rectified.

It is said that the girl who was under the age of hairpins personally made amends for her father. Holding the knife, without any hesitation, he ended his father's pain neatly and completed the agreement between father and daughter.

Then, he held his father's head in person and met with the general.

The final outcome was that the Satomi family got a chance to survive.

The price was to suffer unprecedented humiliation, to become a traitor among the officials, to flatter and succumb to outsiders, and to be despised and looked down upon by others.

But that's how it ended.

The head of the Satomi family died of a sudden illness, and then another head took over again to clean up the mess.

Amber, on the other hand, was forgotten by everyone.

"As the only heir of the lord, I should have taken good care of him...but no one can pretend that such a thing never happened, right?"

"Every time they see her, everyone will only think of that face stained with the blood of their biological father, and they can't feel at ease. They can only be indifferent, marginalized, and left to fend for themselves. In fact, she asked for exile At that time, everyone was relieved.”

"It's a pity that everyone underestimated her."

Jiujing sighed softly, "She went to Dongxia, and she came back... pretending as if nothing happened, and returned to everyone.

It seemed like she had become reasonable, but in fact, who knew what she was thinking? "

"Maki, there are no allies for her, let alone any relatives. If you hope that her help to you will be kind, you may not be too naive. You need to think clearly for yourself."

Maki was still stunned.

Staring in disbelief.

It seemed like he was still in shock and didn't react.

"Doesn't that mean that Cousin Amber killed her own father with her own hands?" She murmured dully: "This is too cruel."

"Who says it's not?" Jiu Jing shook her head: "It's normal to feel scared."

"No, I mean, you have to kill your own father with your own hands."

Maki raised her head and said seriously: "I think my cousin must be sadder than anyone else, right? After all, is there anyone in this world who resents his father?"

There was a long silence.

Staring at that pair of eyes without any haze, many words could no longer be said.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and looked away: "There are incompetent fathers in this world, Maki, and there are also people who don't deserve to be respected and loved... However, no matter how much I say, you won't change your mind. Bar?"

Maki nodded.

"Because we've already made an appointment."

She replied: "Promise is more important than life, my mother has always taught me this...Besides, even if something happens, I feel that Miss Huai Zhi will never abandon me!"

When she looked at the back figure in the arena, the girl's eyes were filled with peace of mind and trust.

It was as if he had nothing to fear with her by his side.

He was silent for a long time, with a complicated expression.

Just hugging a ship that happens to pass by, drifting with the tide and challenging the unknown dark ocean. Should this be said to be naive or reckless?

He didn't know, and he had to say nothing.

"Then, let's compete as opponents, Maki."

After thus bidding farewell, the young warrior took a last look at his enemy, rose and departed.

I went home and packed my things all day long, and then I got stuck. I wonder if I can update more today.
