Chapter 276 The Moment Everyone Is Paying Attention To

Listening to the reason why the head of the Ming family came to find him, Mingzheng reviewed the memories in his mind and found it ridiculous.

Fortunately, he is no longer the original body, otherwise he might overturn the table.

Moreover, this time point is also very delicate, just when Mingzheng entered the finals and was about to win the league championship.

If he had always been just an ordinary Rockets intelligence agent, would Mingyuan still come to find him?

There was not much affection between father and son, so why come again at this time?

"I was expelled from the family a long time ago. Now you want me to go back. Isn't it against the family rules again?"

Mingzheng was directly sarcastic, and Mingyuan was so angry that he wanted to curse again.

"Xiaozheng, let's talk nicely."

Kikuye glared at Mingyuan, then turned to look at Mingzheng and persuaded him gently.

Seeing that the father and son could not reach an agreement, Kikuye had to act as a peacemaker and told the other side of the story in the eyes of the bystander.

"In fact, everyone had a hard time after the accident.

While your father was bearing the grief, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the Ming family and lead the tribe to guard the entrance to the spirit world all year round.

There have been several thrilling crises in recent years, and even many elf companions have died. The strength has been fluctuating, but fortunately it was finally quelled.

But because of this, he had no time to take care of you and accompany you to grow up.

I agree that he did not do his father's job well, but Mingyuan is definitely a qualified head of the Ming family."

Kikuno said some fair words, and Mingzheng, as a bystander, listened to them.

But so what?

"Aunt, I have let go of the past, and I am very satisfied with my current life, the dreams I pursue, and the friends I have.

I don't understand why it is the responsibility of Ming and Ju to guard the passage to the spiritual world.

But I have indeed been expelled from the family now, why do you come back to me?

Just because I suddenly became stronger? Capable? Can I help you?"

Mingzheng was talking nicely, but the question he asked made Kikuno's face bitter and Mingyuan's eyebrows drooped.

Kikuno wanted to say something, but seemed to hesitate.

"Let me say it!"

But Pingyuan raised his head. At this moment, he regained the demeanor of the head of the family, no longer like before, like a irritable and arrogant old man.

The people sitting around looked at him, most of them curiously eating melons.

"If you are still weak and withdrawn, I will not come to you.

But since you have gained benefits and grown rapidly with it, you naturally have to take on your responsibilities."

"What benefits?" Mingzheng asked subconsciously.

But Kikuno and Mingyuan immediately looked at him with doubts on their faces.

"Guarding the passage to the spirit world, in addition to the great cause that requires someone to do so, the biggest benefit is that within the radiation range of the spirit world, there is a greater chance of awakening special abilities.

For example, my... Earth Amplification."

The earthy yellow light slightly lit up on Kikuno's hand, and the heavy, vast, and steady ground energy slowly bloomed.

And Mingzheng clearly felt that this ground energy level was very high.

"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that your father just performed is also a kind of talent. It is the two most commonly awakened abilities of the Kiku and Ming families."

Mingyuan did not speak, which was considered as tacit agreement.

And Mingzheng immediately thought of his dream power.

At that time, the awakening was very smooth, so Mingzheng thought that his golden finger had arrived, but now it seems that there is something else hidden.

Fortunately, Kikuno did not want to ask Mingzheng what ability he had awakened, but from his expression, it can be guessed that Mingzheng has special abilities.

And this also seems to explain why the Ming and Kiku families can stick to it from generation to generation, which can be said to be a completely different way of becoming stronger.

But this was not enough to convince Mingzheng to accept their arrangement.

"I didn't take the initiative to get the benefits, and the so-called responsibility was imposed.

I don't agree with your ideas, and I don't have any sense of belonging to the family.

So, it's the same as before, and it will be the same in the future. It's best if we don't bother each other!"

Looking at Mingzheng who was stubborn, Mingyuan wanted to get angry, but looking at Mingzheng who was full of unfamiliar eyes, he finally sighed silently.

He heard the key in Mingzheng's words. How could he be willing to return to the family without a sense of belonging.

Look at the other people at the table today, Dr. Yamanashi, Prince Devon, and the guardian of the awakening temple.

And the Rocket Team, which is not in the open, seems to be deeply involved with his son...

No matter which one, the foundation is not worse than the two major families in Ziyuan Town.

And these people have become Mingzheng's partners and friends, and have become his reliance and trump cards.

After a long silence, Mingzheng got up and left first.

Because there was a match with Kikura in the afternoon, it was impossible for everyone to keep arguing, and they could only leave unhappily in the end.

On the way, Mingzheng had adjusted his mood and took the initiative to explain the past of himself and his family, which also let them know the whole picture.

"Some old stories, everyone just treat it as a melon and have fun."

"This melon will be ripe, and remember to call me if there is a follow-up!"

Mikoli said meanly, obviously expressing support, but Mingzheng only rolled his eyes.

The more familiar he was with Mikoli, the more Mingzheng's filter for his Hoenn champion was broken.

Daigo glanced at Mingzheng, he was more curious about what special ability Mingzheng had.

Thinking of the shiny metal monster and the steel-type sticky beauty, it wouldn't be a special ability related to the steel type?

So envious!

It's a pity that I only have money.

Finally, Dr. Yamanashi is the most reliable. He gently patted Mingzheng on the shoulder and said seriously: "Tell me if you need any help, I will do my best to help you."

Mingzheng was flattered. He could let the paralyzed doctor pat his shoulder. This treatment was not given to Uesugi.

It can be seen that Dr. Yamanashi really regarded Mingzheng as a junior and really wanted to protect him.

"Thank you, doctor. I will not be polite if you need me!"

"Yeah"

In the end, they followed Mingzheng to the main venue to watch Kikura's game.

Just after listening to the stories of the two major families of Kiku and Ming, Mingzheng was most curious about what special abilities Kikura had.

However, Longlis was obviously much weaker than Kikura, and Kikura finally won with four elves.

And throughout the whole process, Kikura looked careless, which made everyone worry about Mingzheng.

Such Kikura seemed to have hidden strength.

The Kiku family is so terrifying!

Mingzheng, on the other hand, after watching several of Kikura's matches, got to know him better and was more confident of winning.

But he didn't say anything before winning, otherwise it would be just empty talk if he really lost.

After the game, Mingzheng temporarily separated from everyone else and went into the mimicry training room to start pre-match training.

But when Mingzheng opened the door to get dinner, he saw his aunt Kikuno standing quietly in front of the door.

"Although tomorrow is the final between you and Aliang, there are some things that are not convenient to say at noon, I still want to tell you now, just delay you for ten minutes."

Mingzheng sighed in his heart, but smiled on his face: "What are you talking about, aunt, come in first."

"Well, you can listen while eating, it won't delay."

"Okay."

In this case, Mingzheng was not polite, squatted down and began to arrange the elves' dinner, listening to what Kikuno wanted to say.

"Your Gala Gala is very good. Ziyuan Town has a treasure that is very suitable for it."

"Hmm?"

Mingzheng turned his head to look at Juye. Is this what she wanted to say?

"When you want to go back and take the things, they will naturally be yours." Juye didn't say much, and seemed to be deliberately tempting Mingzheng.

But she changed the subject and sighed: "Your father has a heart disease and his life span is shortened. He will not live for many years.

The reason why he wanted to find you so urgently is that he just wanted to give you all the things that the Ming family still had."

Suddenly, Mingzheng turned his head again, and couldn't believe what he heard.

Mingyuan... is going to die?

Although he is only the father of the original body, talking about death is always heavy.

"Heart disease becomes a disease because... mother... I can understand, but what about the loss of lifespan? It doesn't look like it?"

"Naturally, your father is determined to die. Whenever he encounters any crisis while guarding the passage, he consumes his lifespan to temporarily improve the strength of the elves. If he uses too much, there will naturally be less lifespan left."

Mingzheng was silent until he arranged the elves, then he stood up and asked softly.

"How long will it take?"

"One or two years."

"...If I never grow up, what will happen to the Ming family by then?"

"It will be annexed by the Ju family, and there will no longer be a Ming family in Ziyuan Town."

"Your last name is Ju."

"But I am also your aunt."

So it is because of this relationship that Juye stands by Mingzheng?

No, or at least let Mingzheng know the whole picture of the matter so that he won't regret it later.

However, this relationship is complicated enough.

The friendship between the Ming and Ju families was real, and the current intention of annexation is also real.

After all, they are two families, and all they can do is to be gentler when annexing.

Seeing Mingzheng pondering and silent, Juye continued.

"Your father has already notified both families before he came.

If you beat Aliang, you will automatically become the current head of the Ming family. Everything in the Ming family will belong to you, and the family will continue to exist because of you.

If you lose, Mingyuan will take the initiative to merge the Ming family into the Ju family, and you will no longer have any family ties.

And he will also go to find your mother in these few remaining days."

"Go to the spirit world?"

"I think so."

Mingzheng was speechless: "In the end, you still have to force the Ming family to me and let me guard the spirit world passage?"

Kikuno laughed happily: "Aliang is the most outstanding child of this generation of the Ju family. Are you so confident that you can defeat him?"

"Not much confidence, but still a little."

Kikuno sighed in his heart as he looked at the sharp edge that could not be hidden under Mingzheng's introverted appearance.

Didn't my sister and brother-in-law look like this back then?

Now, one has disappeared into the spirit world, and the other is determined to die.

Their children, however, have to inherit all these right and wrongs for no reason.

"It's still the same as when we were kids. No one ever asked for my opinion. I won't care about your broken agreement.

If I lose, it's only because I'm not strong enough.

If I win, I won't be a bad head of the family."

Mingzheng was still thinking in his heart that he was not afraid of the Galaxy team seeing him as a thorn in their side. As for the Kiku and Ming families...

At worst, I'll just go to Kanto less often in the future!

Seeing that Mingzheng's thoughts were not shaken even though he knew the whole story, Kikuno shook her head and stopped trying to persuade him.

She had fulfilled her obligations as an aunt, and the troubles she had planted would eventually be repaid one by one.

Kikuno turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mingzheng.

"Aunt, I want to ask a question."

Kikuno turned around, "You say."

"The Ju family shouldn't be... tiger poisonous and food poisonous, right?"

Kikuno frowned, not quite understanding why Mingzheng asked this. Was he afraid of being retaliated against?

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility and knew who Mingzheng was asking.

Sister Juying!

"impossible!!!"

Kikuno answered decisively, but the trace of confusion and panic in his eyes was clearly captured by Mingzheng.

"That's it...then it's okay! Auntie, go to bed early."

Ming was seeing off guests, and he had a lot of things to do tonight.

"Um."

Kikuno responded, then lowered his head and walked out without even closing the door for Mingzheng.

Mingzheng suppressed his smile. If there was a conspiracy behind the original mother's death, Mingyuan could ignore it, but Juying...

There is a picture of a beautiful woman's smile that is a little blurry in my memory, but even if Mingzheng is looking at it, she will unconsciously show her true smile.

And just on the wall outside the door of the mimicry training room, a scarlet tongue flashed past, and neither Mingzheng nor Kikuno noticed it.

In a certain room, Ming Yuan clenched his fists tightly until his joints turned white and his veins popped out. .

Through Hyakki Yakou's special ability, he can turn his ghost companions into his eyes and ears, hearing, seeing, and feeling everything they can.

He still felt guilty about Ming Zheng, so he just thought it would be better to take a few more glances from a distance and silently.

But this quiet concern allowed Ming Yuan to see clearly the conversation between the two and the expressions on their faces.

He saw Mingzheng's last guess, Kikuno's firm tone and panicked expression!

…

There was no talking all night, and Ming Zheng, who was in excellent physical condition, was already used to staying up late.

At the door of the training room, the staff responsible for picking him up had been waiting there for a long time, as if they were afraid that the two people in the finals would be temporarily out of touch.

Obviously, someone must have done this before, and now there is this insurance.

"Player Mingzheng, the competition will start at nine o'clock this morning at the main venue of the competition. I will handle all matters before and after the competition. Please do not leave my sight during the whole process.

Mingzheng nodded, not making things difficult, and pointed to the canteen.

"Shall I go have breakfast first?"

"Please!"

After having breakfast and confirming the status of the six elves on the field, Ming Zheng followed the staff to the main venue.

At this time, the main venue was already buzzing with people inside and outside. Audiences who could not enter the infield could also see the competition on the big screen outside.

In the field, Daigo, Mikri, Dr. Yamanashi, Uesugi, and Hua Feng sat together, all cheering for Mingzheng.

The real bird also mingled with the fan cheerleading team, shouting slogans enthusiastically.

Outside the stadium, countless spectators were sitting in front of the TV, silently waiting for the final to begin.

Captain Yusaku of Iron Rock Town, Harumi who travels around the world, Gil and Dr. Seger in Team Rocket's base, Brady Bane in Aldru City, Mr. Konkenstein who is busy in the Glam Competition, and gym leaders from all over the world. , Absol watching the live broadcast from the window...

The bond that Mingzheng has had along the way seems to be paying attention to this moment.

Finally, the Sinnoh League-Suzuran Tournament-finals.

here we go!
