If it weren’t for Jason and Urashima being familiar with Ryosuke, he would have already driven them away by now.

Ryosuke and Urashima didn’t mind at all.

They understood Hanakaiin Haru very well.

“Family Head.”

Hanakaiin Ra greeted and then reported directly: “Toru said he’s not interested and continues to stay in his room playing chess.”

Saying this, Hanakaiin Ra showed a bitter smile.

After experiencing the great catastrophe, Hanakaiin Toru was undoubtedly elected as the new Family Head.

Everyone acknowledged this powerful new Family Head.

Hanakaiin Toru didn’t object either, but on the day of taking over as the Family Head, after becoming the new head, he immediately passed the position to Hanakaiin Haru, then returned to his room.

Hanakaiin Haru was even more at a loss, forced to take the position as the new Family Head.

What about Hanakaiin Toru?

Just like before, he stayed in his room, rarely appearing.

“Is that so?”

Facing Hanakaiin Toru, Hanakaiin Haru was also helpless.

He was very clear that Hanakaiin Toru was quite special in the Hanakaiin Family before, and now he’s even more special.

Because the reason why the Hanakaiin Family can still ‘peacefully’ stay here is due mainly to Hanakaiin Toru’s existence.

Those who witnessed Hanakaiin Toru’s power that day know very well the consequences of going to war with someone who can seal void cracks.

If there were no Hanakaiin Toru?

The Hanakaiin Family would have long been gone.

Those wolf-like guys wouldn’t spare such a fat piece as the Hanakaiin Family.

Even if the main family is gone, the branch family’s assets and secret techniques are enough to make those bastards envious.

“Where’s Itsuki?”

Hanakaiin Haru asked again.

“Hanakaiin Itsuki went to participate in the ’99-Cup Milk Tea Challenge’.

Hanakaiin Ra’s smile was increasingly helpless.

Hanakaiin Haru fell silent.

Hanakaiin Itsuki has always been unconventional, as he was in the past, he is now, and probably will not change in the future.

Who can help me…

Hanakaiin Haru silently thought in his heart and then looked at everyone.

“Then let’s begin.”

As he said this, a group of tribesmen from the Hanakaiin Family brought in the former previous Family Head, along with a petite woman.

Bearing heavy shackles, the former previous Family Head looked in good spirits.

So did the woman.

They even smiled, seemingly not worried about their future.

“We meet again.”

The former previous Family Head proactively greeted Hui Lijing.

As for the others?

They ignored them altogether.

Including the old Monk from Tongshou Temple.

“How do you feel now?”

Hanakaiin Ro asked Hui Lijing.

“Feelings?”

“People around have calmed down after the initial panic.”

“As for me, I’m still learning hard.”

Hui Lijing didn’t know if Hanakaiin Ro was asking her or about the surroundings, so she answered both.

“That’s good.”

Hanakaiin Ro said and then extended his right hand.

Hui Lijing was momentarily stunned, but out of courtesy, she shook his hand.

Hanakaiin Ro smiled.

“My wish is fulfilled.”

“Nothing left to linger on anymore.”

“As for the rest?”

“Do whatever you want with my body after my death, bury it, burn it, feed it to dogs–all’s fine–except it would be a waste if my strength and knowledge vanished just like that.”

“So… I gift them to you.”

Hanakaiin Ro smiled, and the power of Onmyoji within his body surged into Hui Lijing like a tide, forming a brand new Onmyoji seed, then this seed took root and sprouted, growing vigorously at a visible pace.

Meanwhile, an extremely complex array of knowledge appeared in Hui Lijing’s mind.

She understood instantly.

It seemed as if she had been learning it since childhood.

“And mine too.”

The petite woman held Hui Lijing’s other hand.

The same Onmyoji power, mixed with a thread of peculiar strength.

The influx of this power made Hui Lijing’s aura thickened once more.

“You two?!”

Hui Lijing widened her eyes at the two of them.

Everyone around also looked at them in disbelief.

After a full ten minutes, the two let go of Hui Lijing’s hands, gazed at each other, embraced, and sat down on the ground, no longer breathing.

This was their farewell.

Ryosuke stepped forward to check, confirmed that they were dead, and left with Urashima.

As for suggesting taking the bodies?

Seeing Hanakaiin Haru’s murderous gaze, Ryosuke wouldn’t do that unless he had lost his mind.

Besides, he needed to report the new situation immediately.

Another powerful being was born!

Hui Lijing!

The aura just now still left him trembling.

And Hanakaiin Rs secret technique… can it be spread?

If it could…

With these chaotic thoughts, Ryosuke left.

The old Monk from Tongshou Temple softly chanted sutras over the two bodies.

Hui Lijing lowered her head in silence.

“Jing?”

Hu Qiandai asked softly.

“I’m fine.”

“I feel like I can do some things I’ve wanted to do for the past two weeks but couldn’t.”

Saying this, Hui Lijing respectfully bowed to the two bodies.

Then, she headed towards the mountain peak.

With every step, her aura grew stronger.

When she stood at the peak, a dandelion had already appeared in her hand; she turned and smiled at everyone.

“I’m going to find Jason.”

“I’ll be right back.”

“You all wait here and don’t go anywhere.”

As her words fell, she brushed the dandelion against the sky in front of her.

Not just strength.

But also the secret technique inherited from Hanakaiin Ro.

Combining these two–

A rift immediately appeared.

Hui Lijing leaped into it, and the rift vanished in an instant.

Everyone looked at each other, completely at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, in a room halfway up the mountain, Hanakaiin Toru glanced up. eewebnovel_com

Some things look nice.

But the outcome?

It really is hard to put into words.

“I hope you truly survive this.”

He said, continuing to play chess.

At this moment, Jason encountered a great trouble.
