Chapter 103 I’m Getting Married
Mutsu, Kurohimeyama territory.

"Master, you are finally back."

Master Matsumabushi, the leader of the Guiyan Clan, knelt on the ground and saluted the current head of the Kurohimeyama family.

"Good work, pine worm."

The current head of the family was a woman wearing a gorgeous kimono. Beside her knees was a seven-year-old child, who was being held in the woman's arms.

"I didn't expect that what happened in Kasumi City would cause you to get hurt as well."

"It's such a shame."

Master Song Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems I am getting older, but then again, the situation in Kasumi City is somewhat strange... It was my negligence that led to my being injured by the villain."

"is it?"

The head of the family, Miyuki, curled his lips gracefully and revealed an elegant smile.

"So, Lord Songworm, how did my second daughter perform this time?"

"Ms. Kuzuka?"

Master Song Chong was stunned for a moment.

"She is an excellent person who lives up to the name 'Kurohime-san'. This time, our Kurohime-san has won quite a bit of favor in Dewa Province, thanks to Miss Katsuraka's skillful communication."

"very good."

Miyuki seemed very satisfied with his daughter's performance.

"Hagi, of course, is great. My second daughter is also very good. Among my children, Nadeshiko and Obana are also born with the ability to be exorcists. Hehe... Come to think of it, even when I was young, at the same age as Hagi and Kuzuka, I didn't show such outstanding talent, did I?!"

There was a hint of rhetorical question in her voice.

"Song Chong, do you think that I am not qualified to continue to be the head of the family? It would be better for me to give up my position, right?"

"this?"

Master Songchong noticed something was wrong.

Although the head of the family, Yukichi, concealed it well, he still felt a sense of incongruity.

It was as if the words spoken by the head of the family, Yukichi, had an air of "insincerity," or rather, it was more like he was speaking in sarcasm—

"You think so?"

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Master Songchong's forehead.

"Do not……"

"My daughter is better than her mother, and is more suitable to be the head of the family and lead the clan."

The head of the family, Yukichi, smiled and said, "Indeed, my daughters are truly outstanding. Both the eldest and the youngest daughter make me proud. Haha, it's really a happy thing."

The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, but there was no trace of laughter in her eyes.

Master Songchong also felt a certain fear.

Originally, this was just an untrue rumor among the clan.

However, Master Song Chong can now be sure that parents who are jealous of their children do exist in reality.

The head of the family, Miyuki, developed a strong jealousy towards his daughter, who was more outstanding than himself.

Master Song Chong couldn't understand why he would have such thoughts when the child was clearly his own.

"This will become a source of unrest within the clan. The head of the family must have returned this time to eliminate the factions of Miss Kohagi and Miss Katsukana. If we're not careful, it could lead to a situation of infighting within the clan..."

Pineworm Dasong broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

"Speaking of which, the young master of the Yuejialuo family seems to have turned into a woman due to an accident, right?"

Yukichi suddenly changed the subject and asked another question.

"Is this true?"

Master Song Chong could only nod reluctantly.

"Indeed. Actually, if you want to know more details, you might as well ask Granny Zhu Hua from the Rehabilitation Center."

"That's right."

Miyuki had a thoughtful look on her face. She propped her chin up with her hand and said, "That's a good development, haha."

Her words sent a chill down Pineworm's spine.

"Oh, right."

Miyuki seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have good news to inform you. No, I'm going to announce it to all the members of the Kurohimeyama clan."

Master Song Chong was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the deeper meaning of the master's words.

"I'm getting married."

Yukichi showed a smug look.

Master Matsumuro was also shocked. He suddenly remembered that Miyuki's first husband, Kohagi's biological father, had died many years ago.

Although she had other men outside, they were all fleeting relationships. On the surface, Yuki is still a "widow".

"Are you planning to get married?!"

Song Chong was quite surprised. He quickly asked, "Master, who are you going to marry?"

"come in."

The head of the family, Yukichi, called out, and then the sound of footsteps slowly emerged.

"Are you calling me, Master of the Family?"

A young man with a baby face walked into the room and respectfully opened the door before entering.

"That's right, come here, Xun."

Yukichi waved his hand.

"A brief introduction, Master Song Chong. He is my fiancé, and his name is Zi Yuexun."

Ziyue!

Master Song Chong was startled, his brain paused as if struck by lightning, and he opened his mouth involuntarily.

"Wait, wait a minute... Master, you're not talking about the Ziyue family, are you?"

"That's right."

Yuki covered her mouth with her sleeve and let out a giggle.

"It's the famous Suzuki clan of Mutsu Province. Xun is the only son of the previous head of the clan, Yuureku, and is also the head of the Suzuki clan."

"B-but."

Master Songchong asked doubtfully, "Didn't the Ziyue clan commit serious crimes that angered the imperial court? ... Mr. Xun, what he said..."

"Master Pineworm."

Facing his doubts, Yukichi smiled.

"The imperial court has never ordered a trial or any substantial punishment against the Ziyue family. Why do you think the Ziyue clan has committed a serious crime?"

"This?" Master Song Chong was speechless. After a moment, he emphasized, "Even so, the Heijishan clan and the Ziyue family are enemies. Their relationship isn't good, right?"

"That was just a misunderstanding in the past."

Yukichi said slowly, "It's true that the Kurohimeyama clan and the Suzuki family have had conflicts and contradictions, but there's no deep hatred. Both sides are just wary of each other..."

"The Patriarch is right."

The young man named Ziyuexun laughed. "My father, the head of the Ziyue family, Xionglue, was also very praiseworthy of Lady Yukichi when he was alive. He believed that she was a heroine. If I could marry the head of the family, it would also be a good opportunity to resolve this feud."

"Mr. Xun."

Master Song Chong couldn't help but ask, "Can you really not care about the past?"

"what's up?"

The young man asked back in confusion.

"The Ziyue family is exterminated."

Master Song Chong persisted in asking, "Can you not care about this deep hatred?"

"Pineworm, I think you made a mistake."

The head of the family, Yu Xing, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although there are often rumors outside that I sent the Shell Snakes to annihilate the Ziyue clan that day, but those are just rumors... In fact, on the day the Ziyue clan was exterminated, I did nothing and didn't even know anything about it."

"what?"

Master Songchong widened his eyes, shocked by this statement.

There have always been various rumors about the destruction of the Ziyue clan. It is said that the head of the clan, Yu Xing, secretly mobilized the people of the Shell Snake Clan, or borrowed the power of the former head of the clan, Yu Jiao, to attack the Ziyue clan.

This rumor was widely circulated throughout the North, and everyone believed it. After all, the Ziyue family was a powerful and famous family of demon exorcists, and it was impossible for them to be wiped out overnight without any external force.

However, now Yuki has publicly stated that she has never attacked the Ziyue clan at all, which makes Songchong even more confused and bewildered.

"it is true."

Ziyuexun said slowly, "As a survivor of the clan, I can testify that the destruction of the Ziyue family was actually due to an internal conflict and had nothing to do with outsiders."

"Y-really?"

Master Songchong swallowed his saliva.

He didn't know whether what Zi Yuexun said was true or false. However, it didn't matter. If this person was a true descendant of the Zi Yue clan, what he said would be the truth, because the head of the family, Yu Xing, was backing this matter.

"But what is the master's intention in doing this? Why did she marry this young man—"

At this moment, Master Songchong was filled with confusion deep in his heart.

"The wedding will be announced to the outside world soon."

The head of the family opened her lips, and her shiny red lips drew a beautiful curve.

She gave a charming and strange smile.

……

boom!
The red flames exploded.

In the blood-red firelight and misty dust, Bai Jie stood up with difficulty while coughing.

"Lord Yujiao, are you planning to kill me?"

"I didn't do much."

A petite girl who looked like a Zashiki-warashi was floating in mid-air. She usually never touched the ground, and it seemed that she was using some kind of telekinesis to stay suspended in the air.

"But, aren't you doing well? It seems that learning the barrier technique isn't impossible."

"That was only with the help of this cursed orb."

Baijie explained, "My own spiritual power is limited, and it's not enough to create a barrier that can last for a long time."

"Indeed, barrier techniques consume a lot of spiritual energy."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku nodded.

"However, I think you may have some misunderstandings about yourself. Compared to the past, your current spiritual power level is obviously no longer at the level of an ordinary Chunin."

"what?"

"You may not feel anything yourself, but your spiritual power has clearly reached the level of a 'Class C' exorcist."

Kurohimeyama Mikado explained.

It is difficult to make an intuitive evaluation of exorcists because of their different abilities.

However, the total amount of spiritual power is easier to evaluate. Generally speaking, the miscellaneous monsters correspond to the Wu-level exorcist.

Although there are different levels of monsters, generally speaking, even a low-level level five demon exorcist has spiritual power above that of an ordinary person.

"This type of person possesses a weak spiritual power, allowing them to see monsters and ghosts with the naked eye. They can be described as 'ghost-seeing talents'. With further training, they could become the equivalent of a mid-rank Wu-rank Genin."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku said again.

The spiritual strength of a "becoming demon" can correspond to a Class D exorcist; a "big demon" corresponds to a Class C exorcist; the strength of a "ferocious demon" corresponds to a Class B exorcist; and a "demon general" is equivalent to a Class A exorcist.

"The limit of human spiritual power is basically Class A. Breaking through it further is the physiological limit of human beings, just like a bucket cannot hold more water than it can hold. Theoretically, it is impossible to exceed that limit."

However, there are some special individuals among the Class A exorcists who, due to their special abilities, can break this limitation from another level. They are called "super-class" exorcists.

"Intermediate C-level means you possess the spiritual energy reserves of a great demon. Although you are still relatively immature for an exorcist, you are not so incapable of learning any spells..."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku smiled and said, "Boundary Techniques can be said to be the foundation of all kinds of magic. I now intend to teach you from the barrier technique and teach you to learn magic... Well, speaking of asking me for advice and wanting to become stronger, wasn't it your own idea?"

When Baijie heard this, he could only smile bitterly.

That’s right, it was I who asked the former head of the family to teach me magic.

However, Baijie did not expect that this guy’s teaching method was so Spartan.

On the other side, Ye Ming's scream came from the other side.

"Help, help!"

She was fighting several monsters, one of which was a monster that looked like a horse.

The demon horse's fur was pale, and its mane turned into a burning blue flame.

It opened its mouth and let out a hissing sound. The air suddenly vibrated, no, it was forcibly torn apart.

Boo!
The high-pitched sound waves suddenly hit him sharply, and Ye Ming immediately felt a strong impact that seemed to make his internal organs churn. He was blown away like a cannonball and landed in a lake not far away.

"Is she okay?"

Baijie was somewhat worried.

"No problem, she's in good shape..."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku said with a smile, "This is just an appetizer. To help her learn how to control her 'eyes', this kind of training is just the basics..."

"is it?"

To be honest, Baijie feels a little regretful now.

At this point, he wasn't sure whether it was a good idea for him and Ye Ming to agree to accept training from Kurohimeyama Mikaku.
