21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 446 435 Qingdai’s Surprise (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions)

Under Qingdai's persuasion, the elder finally refrained from making things difficult for Tashiro Nanao, but his attitude remained unequivocal.

Tashiro Nanao and Qingdai had no choice but to abide by the elder's decision, but after several attempts at persuasion from Qingdai, the elder softened his emotions and decided to allow Qingdai one last attempt to persuade Chen Yu, giving him one final chance.

Upon leaving the Tashiro Family mansion, Tashiro Nanao and Qingdai walked together, as the mansion was surrounded by quietness with no bus routes nearby, necessitating a walk to reach the main thoroughfare.

Despite being mistresses of the Tashiro Family, both Tashiro Nanao and Qingdai did not take a car today, so they had to walk outside together.

"Why did you plead for me just now?" Tashiro Nanao, moving forward, suddenly asked Qingdai after they had walked out of the mansion's gate.

Hearing Tashiro Nanao's question, Qingdai raised an eyebrow in mild surprise but did not stop her stride, merely smiled, and chose not to answer Tashiro Nanao's question.

Seeing Qingdai ignoring her, Tashiro Nanao couldn't help but rush in front of her to block her path, demanding, "What exactly are you planning?"

Faced with Tashiro Nanao blocking her way, Qingdai had no choice but to confront her nominal younger cousin, observing her somewhat furiously charged demeanor, Qingdai felt a touch of emotion and sighed lightly, "Don't speak of your little schemes in the mansion, especially near grandfather's room. He can hear you."

After saying this, Qingdai walked past Tashiro Nanao, continuing forward at an unhurried pace.

Qingdai's words took Tashiro Nanao by surprise, instantly reminding her of the conversation she just had with Qingdai in the compartment. She turned to look at Qingdai's retreating figure and asked, "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Your intentions were so obvious that if you really had spoken out, grandfather would have been angry, and even I would have suffered the consequences," came the haunting voice of Qingdai, though she did not stop walking, "Besides, you are my cousin, and I do not wish to lose an interesting toy so soon."

"Hmph! Don't think that I'll be grateful to you for this!" Tashiro Nanao huffed angrily, though she somewhat understood that it was thanks to Qingdai that she was able to escape her predicament so easily today and was not held accountable for failing by her great-great-grandfather.

But Tashiro Nanao still refused to believe that Qingdai was kindhearted or truly wanted to help her, after all, the man whom Qingdai called grandfather was her own great-great-grandfather, and by relation, Qingdai should be someone of her grandfather's generation.

However, Tashiro Nanao managed to suppress her anger, quickening her pace to catch up with Qingdai, she pursued further, "How do you plan to persuade Professor Chen Yu? You do realize how powerful he is, right?"

"Hm? His strength?" Qingdai suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Tashiro Nanao with a slightly puzzled expression, "Isn't he just an ordinary Transcendent? Perhaps he has acquired some incomplete legacy, but he seems no different from ordinary people. What kind of strength could he have?"

"You actually don't know?" Tashiro Nanao looked at Qingdai, her face full of genuine puzzlement, leading her to believe that Qingdai truly didn't know about Chen Yu's strength.

Tashiro Nanao didn't rush to answer Qingdai's question, but instead carefully reflected and realized that Chen Yu had always appeared very ordinary. If it weren't for her own ability to sense the powerful Life Force emanating from him, signaling a threat, she wouldn't have discovered his hidden strength.

Originally, Tashiro Nanao thought that after Chen Yu had seen through Qingdai's true identity, he had shown his strength in front of her, which led Qingdai to slack off at work. Just now in the cubicle, Nanao deliberately mocked Qingdai with this idea in mind, wanting to embarrass her. But it hadn't occurred to Tashiro Nanao that Qingdai actually hadn't noticed Chen Yu's strength, which was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"What, is there something wrong with Professor Chen Yu's strength?" Qingdai looked at the suddenly silent Tashiro Nanao, and with a quick thought, she understood the situation.

However, Qingdai's complexion subtly changed upon the realization, because in her view, Chen Yu had always been just an ordinary person. Even when Nanao mentioned he was a Transcendent, Qingdai had thought he was just a beginner who acquired some fragmented legacy and hadn't cultivated anything significant.

But if you turned the question around, and Chen Yu's lack of showing wasn't due to a lack of strength, but because he was extraordinarily strong and had concealed it, then just how powerful must he be to leave no trace that she could detect?

With this thought, Qingdai couldn't help but ask Tashiro Nanao, "Professor Chen Yu's strength is very strong, isn't it?"

"Indeed, he's no less than the person you call 'grandpa'." Tashiro Nanao watched as Qingdai's face grew more urgent and a hint of satisfaction appeared on her own. Seemingly wishing to surprise Qingdai even further, she couldn't help but disclose more information, "And it's not just Professor Chen Yu; his girlfriend, Doctor Jounouchi's strength isn't much less than his, maybe even a bit stronger. Even Kyuuzai Ryousen, who often visits Professor Chen Yu, is one of the three heads of the newly established Supernatural Organization in Tokyo, the Mingyue Society."

"One of the three heads of the Mingyue Society is Professor Chen Yu's person? Doesn't that mean he's the one behind the Mingyue Society..." Qingdai was at a loss for words, all of this far beyond her expectations.

The information that Chen Yu was the mastermind behind the Mingyue Society threw Qingdai's thoughts into disarray. The recent clash between the Mingyue Society and the Kanto Kendo Alliance, which ended with the retreat of the Kendo Alliance, had already declared the organization's firm standing in Tokyo as a newly emerged Supernatural force. Coupled with rumors that a branch of the Tsuchimikado Family had also joined, the organization was not to be underestimated, and additional rumors that a Legendary-rank powerhouse was hidden behind the Mingyue Society suggested it was a force the Tashiro Family could not confront through military power alone.

Thinking of Legendary Warriors, Qingdai recalled what Tashiro Nanao had just said, and her eyes widened in shock as she grabbed Nanao's shoulders and anxiously asked, "Are you sure that Professor Chen Yu is really the person behind the Mingyue Society? And that Doctor Jounouchi's strength is not inferior to his?"

"Of course! The pressure Professor Chen Yu gives me is even more dangerous than that from the person you call 'grandpa'! Doctor Jounouchi also used to feel very ordinary, but after last year's New Year, she also began to feel very dangerous, even more so than Professor Chen Yu." Although Qingdai's sudden action startled her, Tashiro Nanao still shared everything she knew.
