Chapter 78
"Things have become complicated; the one who killed Gojo silently, no Onmyoji can currently do that!" said Miyadai of the Twelve Generals.
"Just because no Onmyoji can do it doesn't mean no Cursed Technique user can!" another of the Twelve Generals reminded, and he was the independent Exorcist known as the 'Divine Sword', Kokuri Zenjirou!
"Do you mean the Zhoushulian Alliance, Gojo?" Yuzuriha Mari, the 'Princess of the Barrier' among the Twelve Generals, found it hard to believe.
Although Gojo was somewhat unreliable, why would he kill Kurahashi Genji for no reason?
Wasn't he afraid of provoking a war between Onmyoji and Cursed Technique users?
"Gojo and the high-ranking members of the Zhoushulian Alliance have long harbored grievances and have been looking for an opportunity to purge the leadership; recently Genji has been getting a bit too close to those high-ranking members over there, could he have been caught in the crossfire?" Miyadai speculated.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but currently, the people capable of silently killing Genji are not just Gojo; there is also Adagaki Li An, the fellow who calls himself a god!" Amami Daizen also reminded.
"No way, Genji even sent his own daughter to that person's side; I heard they get along quite well; he surely wouldn't kill his future father-in-law, right?" Yuzuriha Mari was unwilling to believe Li An killed Kurahashi Genji because the logic didn't hold!
Hearing Yuzuriha Mari's words, everyone fell silent.
At this moment, Kurahashi Miyoe suddenly spoke: "Alright, let this matter end here; do not investigate further. Since Genji is already dead, you, Amami, shall temporarily assume the position of Director of the Onmyo Bureau; do not let the subordinates fall into chaos."
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end could only nod in agreement.
There was no way; whether it was Gojo or Li An, neither was someone they could afford to provoke.
At this moment, they only hoped the reincarnation of Tuyu Yoko would awaken and grow stronger quickly.
As long as Yoko returns, then there is nothing to fear from Gojo.
Kurahashi Miyoe returned to the Onmyo Academy and took a photo from her office drawer; the person in the photo was her son Kurahashi Genji, but it was him when he was young.
"Do not blame your mother for not avenging you; after all, we do not have that strength, and you have done many wrong things these past years; this must be heaven's punishment upon you!" Kurahashi Miyoe stroked the photo, her eyes gradually moistening.
At this moment, the office door was knocked upon.
Knock knock knock!
Kurahashi Miyoe wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, put the photo back in the drawer, and said: "Come in!"
The door opened, and Otomo Jin, missing a leg and leaning on a cane, walked in.
After entering, he immediately said: "Should we not bring Kyoko back?"
Kurahashi Miyoe looked deeply at Otomo Jin and asked, pretending not to understand: "Why?"
"Letting Kyoko stay by the side of her father's murderer, how cruel that is to her!" Otomo Jin said with some agitation in his expression.
He did not dislike Li An; in fact, he was even very grateful that Li An killed Kurahashi Genji.
The Onmyo Bureau was actually just like the Zhoushulian Alliance; the high-ranking members were all rotten.
The death of Kurahashi Genji could serve as a warning to those old fossils.
But Kurahashi Kyoko was innocent; continuing to let her stay by Li An's side was, without a doubt, cruel to her!
If Kurahashi Kyoko fell in love with Li An, only to discover later that Li An killed her own father, would she collapse?
Kurahashi Miyoe took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Teacher Otomo, do not make rash assumptions about matters without evidence; this matter is already in the past!"
Hearing her say this, Otomo Jin gave a self-mocking smile and said: "So that is how you think!"
After saying that, he turned and left the office.
Kurahashi Miyoe sighed and murmured to herself: "I don't want to either, but the other party is a god!"
Li An woke up in the morning already past eight o'clock.
Coming out of the room, he saw the women sitting together eating breakfast, chatting happily with each other.
It seemed that in just one night, they had become best friends who shared everything.
Of course, the sisters Zenin Makoto and Zenin Mai were exceptions.
Li Ying saw Li An wake up and immediately stood up, asking: "Master, we made Chinese breakfast today; there are century egg and pork porridge, tofu pudding, soup dumplings, shaomai, and wontons; which one do you want to eat?"
Li An casually said: "Bring me a bowl of tofu pudding, and add a steamer of soup dumplings."
"Alright, I will go serve it to you right away." Li Ying said and walked towards the kitchen.
"By the way, I want the tofu pudding to be salty!" Li An reminded.
"Understood!" Li Ying replied.
After finishing washing up in the bathroom, he came out to find that Yotsuya Yoko and her two little friends had also arrived.
Today was Sunday, their last day of holiday.
School started tomorrow, so they all wanted to come early to learn more things.
"Have you all eaten?" Li An asked the three of Yotsuya Yoko and her friends.
"Mm, we have already eaten!" the three women all nodded.
"Since that is the case, Suzuka, you go teach them first; I will come after I finish breakfast." Li An instructed Dairenshi Suzuka.
"Got it!" Dairenshi Suzuka stood up and took the three of Yotsuya Yoko and her friends to the gym.
Zenin Makoto came and sat by Li An's side, smiling and saying: "Let Suzuka teach Yoko and the others today; we will practice martial arts together!"
However, Li An had already learned all the martial arts of the Divine World and no longer wanted to practice martial arts, so he said: "I will let the Demon Sword Princess spar with you."
Zenin Makoto's eyes immediately became resentful; just as she was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang.
She answered the call, and her expression gradually became somewhat serious.
With Li An's super five senses, he naturally heard the content inside the phone.
It was that in Shennaichuan County, an incident occurred where a Level One Cursed Spirit attacked humans, and the higher-ups ordered Zenin Makoto to exorcise the Cursed Spirit.
Normally, dealing with a Level One Cursed Spirit would definitely not fall to Zenin Makoto, a Level Four Cursed Technique user, to execute the mission.
However, because the number of Cursed Technique users was far too scarce, and currently all other Cursed Technique users were executing missions, they could only dispatch Zenin Makoto to go.
