"Oh, right. It's rare to have so many Grade 1 Cursed Spirits. Geto, don't waste them."
"Hmm? But the requirement for Rank assessment is to exorcise your own Cursed Spirits."
"It's fine. We can just beat them until they're on their last breath, then give them to you."
"Is that so?"
Geto heard this and was a bit confused.
Because Gojo Satoru had previously said that in the Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessment, only the person being assessed could act.
What if Eichi and the others beat the Cursed Spirits to their last breath and then he absorbed them, only for it to be judged as non-compliant?
"No problem. You agree, right, Satoru?"
Eichi glanced at the Gojo Family Jujutsu Sorcerers and Assistant Supervisor.
Gojo Satoru instantly understood Eichi's meaning.
"Daijoubu, daijoubu. (It's fine.)"
Gojo Satoru waved his hand at Geto.
"The Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessment is to test a Jujutsu Sorcerer's strength. As long as the strength is sufficient, there's no problem."
"You agree, right?"
Gojo Satoru looked at the two Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers from the Gojo Family next to him.
Eichi also followed Gojo Satoru's gaze.
Familiar faces. Weren't these the two bodyguard Elders who often drank tea outside his courtyard before?
Under the benevolent gazes of Gojo Satoru and Eichi, the two decisively nodded.
They knew the inside story.
This action, however, displeased the Kamo Family's Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Kamo Yoshitaka, a Jujutsu Sorcerer who used Blood Puppet Manipulation.
Although it couldn't compare to Blood Manipulation, in an era where no successor to Blood Manipulation had appeared, he was already considered one of the representative figures of the Kamo Family.
It was estimated that after Kamo Noritoshi Awakened Blood Manipulation in a few years, the Kamo Family would be happy for a while.
Though it wouldn't be very useful.
Kamo Yoshitaka was the oldest among the four Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers present.
"Hmph, conducting the Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessment separately is to ensure fairness. What if someone cheats if it's done together?"
After speaking, Kamo Yoshitaka looked towards the two Zenin Clan members.
With the support of the Zenin Clan's Jujutsu Sorcerers, it wasn't just a 2-on-2 in terms of numbers.
It also represented two of The Big Three Families simultaneously putting pressure on the Gojo Family.
This was the Law of survival for the Kamo Family and Zenin Clan in the decade since Gojo Satoru's birth.
The high bounty on Gojo Satoru in the black market might not have been without the push from these two families.
However, the situation this time was very strange.
Facing Kamo Yoshitaka's gaze, the Zenin Clan's Jujutsu Sorcerer actually looked up and started whistling.
Kamo Yoshitaka, helpless, could only turn his gaze to Zenin Shuji.
He knew Zenin Shuji's identity; although his strength was low, he had achieved a good position in the Zenin Clan due to his excellent auxiliary abilities.
Zenin Shuji's stance was also the same.
"We are only responsible for Mr. Geto's Rank assessment."
Zenin Shuji smiled and nodded at Kamo Yoshitaka.
No, is looking at Geto useful?
The Kamo Family had already prepared for the Cursed Spirits assigned to Geto to be subjugated by him.
Therefore, the Cursed Spirits assigned to Geto and Gojo Satoru were relatively weak.
The problem now was that they were going to give all those Cursed Spirits to Geto. Wasn't this failing to achieve their goal of annoying Gojo Satoru and his group, and instead, they were painstakingly sending them a big gift?
No, absolutely cannot let the other three give all the Cursed Spirits to Geto. The Rank assessment must be conducted separately.
"According to the regulations of the Jujutsu Headquarters, interfering when someone else is undergoing a Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessment is a violation."
Kamo Yoshitaka finished speaking and once again directed his gaze at Zenin Shuji.
I've already made my point, hurry up and take it.
"According to the regulations of the Jujutsu Headquarters, privately cultivating or utilizing Cursed Spirits also violates the rules, you know."
Eichi smiled as he looked at Kamo Yoshitaka.
Impossible, has the matter been exposed?
Only the Kamo Family and Zenin Clan knew about this. Wait a minute…
Kamo Yoshitaka seemed to have thought of something.
"You actually dare to betray…"
"Betray what?"
The moment the enraged words escaped his mouth, Kamo Yoshitaka realized his mistake and quickly stopped.
Eichi, however, pressed on.
"Are you, the Zenin Clan, willing to become a subordinate of the Gojo Family?"
There was no answer to Eichi's question.
Kamo Yoshitaka ignored Eichi and asked Zenin Shuji another question.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. The Zenin Clan was one of The Big Three Families before, and will always be one of The Big Three Families. It will not become anyone's subordinate."
Zenin Shuji still had a faint smile on his face.
"Then why?"
Kamo Yoshitaka finally calmed down a bit.
It's good that they're not becoming a subordinate of the Gojo Family.
No, how could the Zenin Clan abandon its status as one of The Big Three Families? Was I overthinking in my anger?
"No why."
The sudden voice made Kamo Yoshitaka's anger flare up again.
We, The Big Three Families, are talking. What right does a brat like you have to interrupt?
Just as Kamo Yoshitaka was about to reprimand him, a terrifying killing intent sent a chill down Kamo Yoshitaka's spine.
"Jade Dog·Hun."
A dark figure emerged from the shadow behind Kamo Yoshitaka.
Kamo Yoshitaka wanted to dodge, but a hand had already grabbed his arm.
"I remember you're an Elder of the Kamo Family, right? A pleasure, a pleasure. Let me introduce myself, my name is Azuma Eichi, and my Technique is Ten Shadows Technique. Nice to meet you."
As he spoke, Eichi fumbled in his shadow. Hmm, these are all things he's used to, he doesn't want to give them away.
"Shuji, get Elder Kamo a bottle of honey tea."
"Yes, Young Master Eichi."
Zenin Shuji bowed slightly, then opened the trunk and took out a bottle of honey tea.
"Come, come, Elder Kamo, you've been talking for so long, you must be thirsty. Have some honey tea, honey is good stuff…"
At this moment, Kamo Yoshitaka was too shocked by the turn of events to speak.
Did he just say Jade Hounds?
He can use Ten Shadows Technique?
The Zenin Clan members call him Young Master?
The Zenin Clan has Ten Shadows Technique?
Has the Kamo Family been abandoned?
Kamo Yoshitaka was sweating profusely.
Because the application for the Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessment was arranged by Gojo Satoru, the application form reached the Gojo Family's person in charge at the Jujutsu Headquarters first.
The Gojo Family did not submit the application form directly but planned to approach Eichi and Geto first, intending to recruit these two into their family before submitting it.
However, Gojo Satoru refused.
Gojo Satoru did not want his family's reasons to affect his pure friendship with Eichi and Geto.
The Gojo Family Head's heart was shattered.
Your Majesty, your subjects were ready to fight to the death, why did you surrender first!
However, the Gojo Family Head did not give up and secretly sent people to contact Eichi.
Geto could be forgone, but they had to find a way to get the Ten Shadows Technique.
Eichi showed enough goodwill but never expressed a stance.
The Gojo Family Head's heart completely collapsed. The cooked duck flew away, and it was their own precious child who let it fly.
The only thing worth celebrating was that Eichi clearly stated he would not be an enemy of Gojo Satoru.
Finally, the Gojo Family Head could only convey some of Eichi's information to the Zenin Clan.
Look, your family's Ten Shadows Technique was found by us, and it was returned to you by us. You must remember this favor and you must repay it.
As for the Kamo Family?
Actually, the Kamo Family once had someone who knew about Eichi's existence and information, and that was Kenjaku, who occupied the body of a Kamo Family Elder.
However, Kenjaku had gone to experience the joy of giving birth in recent years, so currently, no one in the Kamo Family knew Eichi's information.
This time, the Kamo Family was triple-stabbed by the Gojo Family, the Zenin Clan, and Kenjaku, who often returned to use the Kamo Family and then left.
Kamo Yoshitaka didn't know how he got into the car.
He only wanted to ask one question now: So, love will disappear, right?
