Inside the house, in the hall.
At this time, Taichun, Yingkuan, and Chizuru were sitting in a row, explaining everything to Natsume and Suzuka who were sitting in front of them.
These things included the grudges between the Earth Imperial Clan, the Kurahashi Clan, and the Soma Clan, as well as the truth of Night Light's reincarnation. They even explained the inside story of the Yin Yang Hall, explaining all the causes and effects clearly, without any concealment.
Of course, this also included the fact that Rozen was not a descendant of the Earth Imperial Clan, that Spring Tiger was a member of the Soma Clan, and that Night Light was reincarnated into this world.
Taichun used a complicated, heavy, bitter, and resolute tone to tell Natsume and Suzuka the truth one by one, letting the two girls know the entire truth.
In this regard, the two girls' reactions were completely different.
Xia Mu was utterly shocked by the truth and inside information revealed by Tai Chun of the Earth Defense Sect. He was unable to recover for a long time and appeared to be at a loss.
Although Suzuka was also surprised by some of the things, after hearing the questions of the Kurahashi Clan and the Soma Clan, not only was she not shocked, but she also fell silent.
Seeing Suzuka's reaction, Natsume's voice trembled a little, not to mention the others.
"Did you already know about these things …?"
Natsume said to Suzuka in disbelief.
Suzuka did not answer directly, but after a long silence, she replied coldly, "After all, my father is a member of the Soma Clan.
"After all, my father is a member of the Soma branch family. Strictly speaking, I also have the blood of the Soma family flowing in my veins. Although I didn't know about these things at first, it wasn't until I was placed under house arrest in the Yin-Yang Hall that I met Soma Duozi and Yakamaru who was reincarnated as Yase Douji that I learned about this fact from them."
That was what happened.
During the period of house arrest in the Yin Yang Hall, Suzuka met Soma Duozi who appeared in front of her very happily and claimed to be her clansman. She also met her father who had reincarnated as Yase Douji, and thus learned a certain degree of the truth.
Because of this, when Rozen took Suzuka away from the Yin-Yang Hall, Soma Duozi approached Suzuka as if he was very familiar with her. When Suzuka saw Soma Duozi, he showed an abnormal rejection and even fear.
After all, the enemy's Spirit-branded Retainer was his father, who used him as an experimental subject and used various forbidden techniques on him. In the end, he even caused his brother's death.
Suzuka hated his father from the bottom of his heart, but he also had a fear that was even stronger than hatred.
That was why Suzuka behaved like that back then.
In other words …
"You all know that someone has their eyes on Qiu Guan, but you still didn't tell him anything. You even allowed him to become my brother's … Night Light's replacement and be eyed by dangerous people like Night Light's believers?"
Because of this, Xia Mu's voice began to tremble.
Under such circumstances, Tai Chun, Ying Kuan, and Qian He of the Earth Imperial School remained silent. Even Ling Lu kept his mouth shut, looking as if he had tacitly agreed.
"You …!"
How could you do this?
This was what Xia Mu wanted to say the most. Or rather, it could be said to be a scolding.
But what was the point of saying that now?
"So Qiu Guan is just like me, an orphan picked up from the outside …"
Natsume bit his lips.
Even though he was angry, resentful, and even indignant about Rozen's misfortune, Natsume knew that it was meaningless to target these people in front of him.
Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial School only wanted to protect his son, so he had no choice but to use this method.
Ying Kuan and Qian He of the Earth Imperial School knew the whole truth, but they chose to silently support the main family and keep their duty as a branch family.
As for Suzuka, although he knew part of the truth, he didn't know what the Soma family was plotting.
So how could Natsume blame them?
Besides …
"In the end, I'm still too weak."
Xia Mu's heart was filled with sorrow.
If she was strong enough, even in the face of all this, she could help Rozen.
As a result, even though such a big thing happened, even though she was Rozen's Spirit-branded Retainer, she didn't know anything about it, and she couldn't help at all from beginning to end. All she could do was sit back and watch Rozen suffer all the injustice.
Therefore, in the end, Xia Mu had no right to blame others.
"… Where is Qiu Guan?" Natsume could only ask with difficulty, "Where is Qiu Guan now?"
The person who answered this question was Ying Kuan of the Earth Imperial School.
"I've already inquired about it." Ying Kuan said to Natsume, "I heard that Qiu Guan made a scene in the Yin-Yang Hall. Not only did he defeat several first-class Onmyoji in the country, but he also seriously injured Balrog. Now he has escaped from the Yin-Yang Hall, and no one knows where he is."
"You are Qiu Guan's shikigami, you should be able to feel his presence, right?" Chizuru also comforted, "If you want to find him, you should be able to sense his location through the barrier, as long as Qiu Guan is not far from here."
The couple from the Earth Imperial School made such a statement.
Even Taichun of the Earth Imperial School spoke again.
"Now, Spring Tiger is no longer here. He must have awakened the memories of his previous life. Qiu Guan is also nowhere to be found. Our Clan of Earth Defense is now wanted by the Yin Yang Hall. I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the stage."
Taichun of the Earth Imperial School ended his explanation.
This made Natsume couldn't help but ask.
"What are you going to do next?"
That was what Natsume wanted to know.
Taichun, Ying Kuan, and Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School seemed to have already made up their minds.
"In any case, we don't intend to agree with the Kurahashi Clan and Soma Clan."
Ying Kuan of the Earth Imperial School said.
"In that case, we can only fight to the end."
Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School also raised his arm, showing a competitive look.
"We will look for Spring Tiger and Qiu Guan. With their uniqueness, the Yin-Yang Hall will never let them go easily." Taichun of the Earth Imperial School looked at Natsume and Suzuka and said, "If you want to find Qiu Guan, then we can help you."
This was the collective decision of the Earth Imperial School.
It must be said that with the help of the Earth Imperial School, Natsume and Suzuka would undoubtedly have a much easier time.
In any case, the two were now definitely wanted by the Yin-Yang Hall. Even if they could find out the location of Rozen according to the contract, it would not be easy to find him under the pursuit of the Yin-Yang Hall.
The problem was …
"Even if we find him, what can we do?" Suzuka said self-deprecatingly, "With our strength, can we help him fight against the Yin-Yang Hall?"
Suzuka said the pain in Natsume's heart.
Yes.
Even if they found Rozen, could they help him fight against the Yin-Yang Hall?
Not to mention Natsume, even Suzuka wouldn't be able to handle it, right?
Although Suzuka was one of the twelve Divine Generals, he was only a researcher, and he wasn't good at actual combat.
Now that Suzuka lost the Earth Spider, as long as she encountered any of the Twelve Divine Generals, she would be defeated. Even if she encountered a powerful Onmyoji, she would fall into a difficult battle, not to mention the entire Yin-Yang Hall, which included Soma Duozi.
Once she became Soma Duozi's enemy, it meant that she had to become Yakamaru's enemy.
For Suzuka, this was not a hurdle that could be easily crossed.
And even Suzuka was in such a state, not to mention Natsume, whose strength was far inferior to Suzuka.
"This Shikigami is really not qualified at all."
Suzuka laughed at herself, which made Natsume bite her lips harder.
"Natsume …"
Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School saw Natsume's pain and gently hugged her.
"Mom …"
Being hugged by Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School, Natsume couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Even if he knew that Rozen was not a descendant of the Earth Imperial School or even a member of the Earth Imperial School, there was no need for Natsume to become his Shikigami, but Natsume didn't consider such a thing at all.
For Natsume, becoming Rozen's Shikigami represented not only the obligation of being a member of the Earth Imperial School, but also a kind of emotion that continued from childhood to now.
Under such circumstances, Natsume couldn't stand this situation at all.
She couldn't stand the situation of powerlessness.
Seeing Natsume in pain, Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School was also distressed, and her eyes were also wet.
"This is all because of us, Natsume, you can blame us as much as you want."
Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School said sadly, but in return, Natsume shook his head as if he was crying.
This made Yingkuan of the Earth Imperial School close his eyes.
After a while …
"Natsume." Yingkuan of the Earth Imperial School opened his eyes and said like this, "Do you want power?"
Hearing this, Natsume was stunned.
"My dear …!?" Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School seemed to have thought of something, and said in shock, "Do you want to …!"
Not only Chizuru of the Earth Imperial School, even Taichun of the Earth Imperial School seemed to have guessed something, and frowned.
But Yingkuan of the Earth Imperial School just looked at Natsume and said so.
"Natsume, you should know Ge Ye, right?"
"Ge Ye."
How could Natsume not know this name?
For the Earth Imperial School and all the people in the industry who devoted themselves to the Way of Yin and Yang, it was absolutely impossible not to know this name.
According to the legend, she was the mother of the famous Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, a white fox fairy who could transform into a beautiful woman. She and Abe no Seimei's father gave birth to this peerless Onmyoji, and then left without saying goodbye a few years later and disappeared without a trace.
It was said that Onmyoji Abe no Seimei had extraordinary spiritual power because he inherited the blood of the fox fairy, and finally became a peerless figure throughout the ages.
In other words, Ge Ye was also one of the ancestors of the Earth Imperial School. Even after a long time, the people of the Earth Imperial School still had the blood of the fox fairy. Therefore, there were many talented people from generation to generation, and finally the fact that it was the Way of Yin and Yang was established.
Now, Yingkuan of the Earth Imperial School mentioned such a figure.
Moreover, he revealed a secret.
"In our branch family, we have always worshiped the spirit of the fox fairy, which is said to be the ancestor Ge Ye."
The Earth Imperial Sect's Ying Kuan's words shocked everyone to death.
