Chapter 210: Past Events (Little Fox)
"Perhaps you still cannot understand the deep meaning of this, so let me put it another way!"
"The reason why this incident is much more serious than those that have happened before is that the identity of the person involved is different."
"Indeed, similar situations are common in Inazuma Castle, but this time it is different - simply because they are from the Three Magistrates. It is precisely because of this special background that the complexity of the entire incident has instantly risen to a higher level."
"You must be aware that Inazuma once issued a clear order prohibiting any open conflict between the three magistrates. However, this rule can be easily circumvented by cleverly putting on a disguise."
Having said that, the corners of Chen Yue's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.
"So, I plan to use this as an excuse to expose their disguise and bring their conflict directly to the surface. Doing so will not only make things bigger and attract more people's attention and attention, but it will also not be a loss for me. On the contrary, I may get some unexpected benefits from it..."
Chen Yue's eyes, as deep as lake water, revealed a meaningful expression as he stared at Hu Zhaigong intently, as if conveying some obscure message to her.
"So, you deceived me after all. If you hadn't intervened, this incident would have been regarded as a conflict between ordinary people, and there would have been no need to alarm the real ones." The corners of Hu Zaigong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a half-smile, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Chen Yue.
However, facing Hu Zhaigong's accusation, Chen Yue did not show any panic. He responded in a calm and composed tone.
"How should I put it? You can say yes, and you can say no. After all, if the scale is too small, my intentions will appear too obvious, thus covering up the truth of the matter. Moreover, there is one thing that must be admitted, that is, there has always been a fierce conflict between the three magistrates, and its degree cannot be underestimated. You should also know this very well!"
Chen Yue's voice was steady and firm, like a heavy stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the calm on the surface and going straight to the core of the problem.
Kitsusai nodded silently, expressing her agreement: "Indeed, the contradictions between the three magistrates have long been deeply rooted. This is an indisputable fact." She paused for a moment and continued, "However, these contradictions have always been hidden in the dark, and no one dares to openly provoke disputes. Your actions now are tantamount to pushing these contradictions to the forefront of public opinion."
"So what?" Chen Yue asked, "If I don't put these contradictions on the table, how can I find a solution? If it continues like this, the contradictions will only accumulate and deepen, and eventually bigger problems will erupt like a volcano."
Hu Zhaigong was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Chen Yue's words. Chen Yue was not an unreasonable person, he obviously had his own calculations and selfish motives.
"Are you really ready?" There was an inevitable hint of worry in Kitsusai's tone. After all, this matter concerned the entire Inazuma. If anything went wrong, it would cause huge trouble.
"My living father! You have asked this question many times." Chen Yue shook his head helplessly, "I know what I am doing and what consequences I should bear."
"Besides, I just stopped a dispute, didn't I?" Chen Yue asked back with an indifferent look.
"Okay, you are an expert in these things, you can take care of the rest yourself." Seeing Chen Yue so confident, Hu Zhaigong simply stopped caring about it.
"What are you going to do now, go find Zhen directly?"
Chen Yue quickly waved his hands and denied, “No, no, no, taking the initiative to find her and her taking the initiative to find you are two completely different concepts.” As he spoke, he shook his head gently, with a deep and wise light flashing in his eyes.
"After all, you've already reported it to Zhen. If I rush to find her now, wouldn't it be telling her that I'm very concerned about this matter? Although I do care about it, I still have to put on a show."
Chen Yue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and continued: "So, I have to use a seemingly nonchalant and indifferent attitude to deal with the things she really cares about. After everything is settled, I will pretend to be nonchalant and relaxed. Hehe, I don't believe that I can't win her over like this!"
Hu Zhaigong couldn't help but laugh softly after hearing this. She felt that Chen Yue's style of doing things was both interesting and helpless.
"You are so cunning!" Hu Zhaigong sighed, "You are such a smart person, but it is a waste of talent. You should consider joining the Baichen clan."
In her eyes, Chen Yue was simply an extremely cunning, insidious and treacherous fox! He was always able to keenly perceive the changes in the situation around him, and then quickly come up with all kinds of amazing tricks and strategies to achieve his goals.
It is hard to find anything more interesting in the world than a person being more like a fox than a fox.
"Stop it! I don't have the blood of your fox clan, how can I join you? Do you want me to turn myself into a fox?"
Chen Yue retorted unhappily. He didn't think he was a fox. After all, the one standing in front of him was a real fox. He was just smarter and more resourceful than it.
"Hehe, that's not impossible! I have mastered quite a lot of magic, so it's not difficult to turn you into a little fox~"
Kitsuzhaigong smiled even more brightly, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, with a cunning and smart light flashing in his eyes.
Chen Yue couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing Hu Zhaigong's sudden proposal. He scratched his head and said helplessly: "If you want to see me turn into a fox, it's not impossible, but it might be a bit troublesome... Well, let's not consider this matter for now."
Seeing this, Kitsai Palace knew that Chen Yue had no intention of changing his mind, so he stopped nagging her. "Well, since you don't want to try to turn into a little fox, then we won't talk about this. But you have to be careful! She is not as simple as she looks on the surface. She is an extremely smart and resourceful woman. If you are not careful in a fight with her, you may be at a disadvantage."
