I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

"Feng Zejian, you really scared me to death just now. You have such a nerve."

"In the end, it's because I have confidence. I came here out of curiosity. I don't live off Feng Ze's name, so I'm not afraid of them. Besides, I just say what I think."

Feng Zejian changed the subject.

"However, the elders of the Feng Ze family are quite magnanimous, at least that's how they appear to be."

"On the other hand, I didn't even know you would come today."

Saya Yanase gave a sly smile.

"There are many things you don't know. The main thing is that I never used to come here. I try to avoid these kinds of social interactions between elders whenever possible."

Feng Zejian asked with a smile, "Then why did you come this time?"

Yanase Saya rolled her eyes at Kazesawa.

That single glance contained a myriad of charms.

"Huh, you're asking even though you know it."

At that moment, Feng Zeli ran over.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Feng Zejian looked back.

"Didn't you see me exchanging feelings with Lord Miyaji?"

"Who wants to talk about feelings with you? You're shameless."

Feng Zejian laughed shamelessly.

"If I had any shame, why would I be standing next to you? I could sense it before; your mother still has some reservations about me..."

“I admit that my mother is indeed a bit materialistic.”

“That’s not what I meant, but if we’re talking about it, your father is the one who looks down on me the most. Auntie is the kind of person who wears her emotions on her sleeve, so she’s relatively easy to get along with.”

Saya Yanase smiled helplessly.

Feng Zejian was right; her father did indeed look down on Feng Zejian, even now.

Feng Zeli was somewhat embarrassed.

"Um, can I say something?"

Feng Zejian retorted, "Isn't that what you're saying?"

"Um, I didn't come to disturb you. I'm here to deliver a message. The head of the Fengze family, Feng Zeliu, wants to see you. You mean you can leave now."

Feng Zejian paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"I'm leaving now."

"Ah."

After exchanging greetings, Feng Zejian and Feng Zeli left, passing through the living room and arriving at Feng Zeliu's room.

Feng Zejian knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Feng Zejian opened the door and went inside.

He then looked at Feng Zeliu and nodded slightly.

"Master, you wanted to see me?"

"Ah."

Feng Zeliu looked Feng Zejian up and down.

"The Fengze lineage is indeed full of talented people, and you are now the most accomplished among the younger generation."

Feng Zejian chuckled and said, "What are you saying, Patriarch? It's just luck."

"Luck is also a kind of strength, and when you have a lot of luck, it becomes destiny."

"Luck can influence those around you and change their original fate."

"Personally, I tend to believe that with great power comes great responsibility, but this idea has been somewhat shaken recently."

Feng Zeliu raised an eyebrow.

"why."

"The higher you climb, the harder you fall. One should be content, for contentment brings happiness."

"Hahaha."

Feng Zeliu smiled.

"Yes, contentment brings happiness, which is why people are human, and can only be human."

Feng Zejian didn't quite understand, but he wasn't curious enough to ask.

"Master, I have something to ask you."

"You said."

“We were not qualified to be here. Whoever wanted to see me and brought my whole family along is being a bit redundant. I wouldn’t have refused if they had just come to me directly.”

At this moment, Feng Zeming walked out from behind the screen.

"It's me, it's me who wants to see you."

Feng Zejian looked at Feng Zeming.

"You are someone who works for that person."

"My name is Feng Zeming, and this is my father."

Feng Zejian nodded. "Did you need something?"

Are you that person?

Feng Zejian was somewhat bewildered.

"Which person? Explain yourself."

"If you are, I will keep your secret."

Feng Ze forced a stiff smile.

"Whether it is or not is not up to me to decide, it is up to you. There is no need to verify it. I also have a question for you."

"You said."

"If you swapped the brain of a bad person with the brain of a good person, would the person with the body of a good person and the brain of a bad person be a good person, or the person with the body of a bad person and the brain of a good person?"

"..."

Feng Zeming shook his head.

Feng Zejian then asked, "Then tell me, who will be the good guy and who will be the bad guy in the future?"

"..."

Feng Zeming shook his head again.

Feng Zejian smiled and nodded.

"This question might be a bit convoluted, so let's try a simpler, more complex one. Does the Yin-Yang Bureau fall under the jurisdiction of the judicial system?"

Feng Zeming answered without hesitation.

"belong."

"Have there been any wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice in the judicial system?"

"Yes, but that's a low-probability event."

Feng Zejian looked at Feng Zeming, and his sharp eyes made Feng Zeming instinctively take a step back.

What if a low-probability event happened to you?

"You actually know that these low-probability events will never happen to you, while those low-probability events are actually bound to happen."

Chapter 206 The Secrets of the Feng Ze Family

"Isn't turning black into white a trick that your Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) has always used?"

Feng Zeming trembled slightly at what Feng Zejian said.

It was clear that Feng Zeming was somewhat angry.

But that wasn't all, Feng Zejian continued:

“Since you have joined the Onmyodo and enjoyed the power and convenience it provides, you cannot escape the dark side of the Onmyodo, even if you have not done it.”

"Since you've joined this violent organization, let's keep it simple. This kind of probing is pointless."

"Feng Zeming, I can tell you're a smart man. You should know some of the dark history of the Yin-Yang Bureau. For your sake, and for the sake of the family, sever ties with the Yin-Yang Bureau. This is the last piece of advice I can give you."

"Some things are not as simple as you think."

Feng Zeming didn't say anything and left directly.

Only Feng Zejian and Feng Zeliu remained in the room.

Feng Zejian stood up and said softly:

"Master, is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."

"Yes, but it's not a matter; it's a secret."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zejian sat down again.

"You're a very interesting person."

"Thank you for the compliment, so it's a secret."

Feng Zeliu got up and opened the closed window, letting in a gentle breeze.

"In the Fengze family, only direct descendants can receive single-character names, and each single-character name is unique and there are no duplicates. The names Fengzejian and Fengzeli were given to me by my father."

"My father, who is also your grandfather."

Feng Zejian had never been so shocked.

"Master, please don't make such jokes. If it really comes down to it, I'll just change my name."

Feng Zeliu smiled helplessly.

"I'm not kidding."

“My father, the previous head of the family, Feng Zechuan, had a woman outside the family. This was an open secret in the Feng Ze family at the time. My father did not bring that woman and their child back to the clan, so my mother never interfered. Although it was an open secret, the woman's whereabouts have always been a mystery.”

“Previously, Yanase Akane from Fuji Shrine came here to inquire about you. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence of names, since the surname Kazezawa is rare, but it’s not uncommon to have the same name. I didn’t think much of it at first. I just vaguely said that it might be a branch.”

“Even after I came back, Feng Zeming mentioned you. I heard the same name from two different people, which made me a little curious about you.”

"So I used my network of connections to investigate and found out that your family is someone Father deliberately protected."

Feng Zejian's mind was still a little fuzzy.

"Now that I've confirmed your identities, I also want to see what kind of person Father has been hiding all this time looks like."

Feng Zejian pondered, "According to the patriarch's wishes, my grandmother, who is also that woman, is the third party."

"Nominally she's a third party, but emotionally she isn't. Your grandmother was my father's childhood sweetheart."

Some childhood memories flooded my mind.

In my memory, my grandmother was in her hospital bed, holding a photo frame that had been torn in half, and she held it until the end of her life.

A gentle smile bloomed on her aged yet beautiful face as she passed away peacefully.

In Feng Zejian's memory, his grandmother was a beautiful old woman who loved to smile, the kind of beauty that you could see at a glance, the kind of beauty that lasted from birth to death.

Feng Zejian had never met his grandfather.

"If you love each other, why can't you be together openly and legitimately?"

"Some things can't be achieved just by wanting them."
