Time passed bit by bit, and by now, the grand restaurant was filled with young talents from various Jujutsu World families.
They greeted each other like ladies and gentlemen, but secretly, they were comparing and competing.
For instance, two smiling individuals would shake hands and chat, but in reality, they were secretly channeling Cursed Energy into their hands to strengthen their grip, seeing who would give out first.
Another example: a group of people would gather in a circle, with the elders of the families smilingly introducing their juniors, frequently interjecting comments about how exceptionally talented their juniors were.
There were also some lower-tier Jujutsu Sorcerer families huddled together for warmth, discussing potential cooperative win-win solutions.
However, this situation instantly silenced the entire venue with the entrance of the Gojo Family.
Putting aside the highly prestigious Gojo Family's elder, the main reason for the silence was the two Six Eyes Users following him on his left and right, whom they had eagerly anticipated and wondered about.
Silver-white hair, pristine white attire, and most importantly, their sky-blue eyes that stretched into the distance, coupled with their icy demeanor.
"Is this a Six Eyes User?" At first, some younger members of certain Jujutsu Sorcerer families thought about approaching the two to get closer, but after actually seeing them, they all swallowed hard and had second thoughts.
The older generation in the venue also showed surprised expressions; after all, it was their first time seeing a Six Eyes User, and they couldn't help but murmur that the Six Eyes User lived up to his reputation.
After the influence of etiquette class, Chinatsu was now displaying her acting skills to the fullest, which left Satoru Gojo, who was beside her, utterly stunned.
"Is this… my sister???"
After recovering, Satoru Gojo quickly brought out his true skills, exuding a cold aura.
He was like a human air conditioner with its cooling fully on, and some of the juniors who looked at him inexplicably shivered.
This was their first public appearance in the Jujutsu World, but neither of them was particularly nervous; after all, the elder was there to provide a safety net.
As for the gazes directed at them… Chinatsu subtly turned her head and met the gaze of one young man, who immediately blushed and stiffly, quickly, turned his head away.
"See? There's nothing to worry about with these gazes."
The current timeline was much, much earlier than the original work's main storyline, so Chinatsu knew very few people in this large venue.
For example, Zen'in Naobito.
The Zen'in Family head, the strongest Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, who loved to drink, even during missions when his companions were fighting, he would still leisurely drink on the side, but his strength gave him the capital to do so.
Although Zen'in Naobito's personality was generally considered unqualified, he was still considered enlightened among the Zen'in Family heads throughout history.
Chinatsu gazed leisurely at Zen'in Naobito, who was sitting in a corner of the banquet, drinking with his head down.
Even such a brief gaze was noticed by Zen'in Naobito.
He paused slightly, then looked up towards Chinatsu, who was watching him.
In this clash of gazes with the Rikugan, his eyes were instantly completely captivated.
"Is this the legendary Rikugan…"
Zen'in Naobito took a step and walked directly towards Chinatsu, but as he reached directly in front of Chinatsu, the elder had already stepped forward, blocking Chinatsu's path.
"Zen'in Family brat, do you need something?" the elder said with narrowed eyes.
In reality, Naobito was over fifty years old this year, but in front of the elder, he was indeed a "brat."
However, in terms of sheer presence, Zen'in Naobito was unwilling to concede.
"Gojo Family old man, don't be so tense; I mean no harm," Zen'in Naobito said casually, then his gaze fell back on Chinatsu.
"Speaking of which, your family actually produced two Six Eyes Users.
The future family head will probably be this brat next to you, right? Then how about this girl marries into our Zen'in Family?"
As soon as these words were uttered, it wasn't just the few people nearby who were shocked; Jujutsu Sorcerers' hearing surpasses that of ordinary people, and since they were the center of attention, the entire venue, from top to bottom, fell into a state of shock.
The elder's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he said, "Marry into your Zen'in Family? You really dream big."
"Hahaha, it's just a suggestion… a suggestion.
If you don't want to, then so be it.
However, if you agree, our Zen'in Family is willing to show considerable sincerity.
Whether it's resources from the Jujutsu World or resources from ordinary society, it's all negotiable."
As mentioned before, Zen'in is the most feudal of The Big Three Families; those without Jujutsu talent are servants in the family, males with some but not much talent are tools, and females are tools for family alliances.
So, in Zen'in Naobito's mind, Satoru Gojo would undoubtedly be the next Gojo Family head, while Chinatsu would either be assimilated internally or married off for an alliance, and if she were married off, there would be competition.
However, although Zen'in Naobito said this, he didn't actually think it would happen.
As for the Kamo Clan head present, he was nervously tense, because if this really happened, with Zen'in and Gojo joining forces, where would the isolated Kamo Family find a way to survive?
Just as the atmosphere grew stiff, Chinatsu was mentally formulating her words, intending to blow the horn of counterattack herself, when Satoru Gojo beside her suddenly stepped forward with a serious expression.
He tilted his head slightly upwards, his sky-blue eyes meeting Zen'in Naobito's.
"You don't need to trouble yourself.
My sister will not marry out, because the next head of the Gojo Family will not be me, but my sister."
This simple sentence easily defused Zen'in Naobito's offensive.
Zen'in Naobito couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and everyone present was looking around and whispering.
A female becoming a family head was extremely rare, whether in The Big Three Families or other Jujutsu Sorcerer families.
Within the Gojo Family, although there was a faction that supported Chinatsu, it was still relatively much weaker compared to the faction that supported Gojo.
Now, Satoru Gojo's words could be said to have directly thrown away the right to compete for the family head position in front of the public.
Even if it was just casually said as a pretense, at least at this moment, the impact was enough to shock the entire venue.
As the protagonist of this topic, Chinatsu maintained a calm expression on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
She even wondered if Satoru Gojo and Zen'in Naobito had secretly conspired, their goal being to dump the mess of the family head position on her…
