Protagonist:

Zang Ye

【Sign-in target detected, Sango. Sign in!?】

【Sign in!】

【Sign-in success, gained the skeleton of a centipede yokai. Deploy!?】

Zang Ye's mouth twitched; he wondered if his luck had run out, to actually get a yokai's skeleton, and a weak yokai at that.

【Do not deploy!】

【Item retained. Host may search for items in the System Warehouse!】

Sango glanced at Zang Ye and found him looking unmoved by outside things, his gaze wandering afar.

"Father, these are the spoils from this exorcism—a Shikon Jewel shard…"

Sango took a Shikon Jewel shard from her bosom and handed it to her father.

"A Shikon Jewel shard… such a pretty stone…" Kohaku said in surprise.

"You got a Shikon Jewel shard… well done, Sango." Sango's father, after a brief surprise, picked up the Shikon Jewel shard.

"Mage Zang Ye, please take this Shikon Jewel shard."

Zang Ye blinked slightly, "Uh~"

Sango's father continued, "Mage Zang Ye, you were able to get Miko Tsubaki's help to purify the yokai qi and evil qi of our clan's forbidden ground. Keeping the Shikon Jewel shard with you would put me at ease as well."

Sango looked at Zang Ye in confusion; she hadn't expected this seemingly young mage to be so trusted by her father.

"I see…"

"Purifying a Shikon Jewel shard is simple enough, but I don't really like keeping such things…"

Hearing Zang Ye refuse, Sango's father's expression changed slightly, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Mage Zang Ye had no thought of coveting the Shikon Jewel shard at all, not even wanting to keep it.

This made Sango's father even more determined to entrust the Shikon Jewel shard to someone else.

After all, only a mage as powerful as Mage Zang Ye, with no evil thoughts, would not be bewitched by the power of the Shikon Jewel shard.

"Refused…"

Sango was slightly surprised; she had seen just how powerful the Shikon Jewel shard was.

A house-sized centipede yokai, after getting a Shikon Jewel shard, could grow as big as a house, its strength increased who knows how much.

Many people coveted the Shikon Jewel shard strongly, using it to enhance their own power.

"However, I have a good candidate. She also has the power to purify Shikon Jewel shards, and she has a previous-life-and-current-life relationship with the previous miko who kept the Shikon Jewel shard."

Sango's face was full of shock, "Previous life and current life…"

After a brief shock, Sango's father spoke, "Is it Miko Kikyo?"

Kohaku's face was full of doubt, "Miko Kikyo… who is she…"

His father sighed, then said, "About fifty years ago, we entrusted the Jewel to a miko with strong spiritual power, and had her purify the Shikon Jewel. Unexpectedly, she died in the struggle over the Shikon Jewel."

Sango realized, "So her soul has already reincarnated."

"Mage Zang Ye means we should entrust the Shikon Jewel shard to Miko Kikyo's reincarnation for safekeeping?"

Seeing Sango's inquiring gaze, Zang Ye nodded, "Put that way, you're still doing the same thing as fifty years ago."

"Only this time, it's entrusted to Kikyo's reincarnation, Miss Gou Wei."

"Miko Kikyo's reincarnation is called Miss Gou Wei." Kohaku exclaimed.

Previous life and current life eh~

They say after death people reincarnate; it seems it's really like that.

"Mage Zang Ye seems to be very familiar with Miko Kikyo's reincarnation…" Sango's father's gaze was burning.

"Indeed… that deceased Miko Kikyo was revived by the yokai Gui Po Li Tao."

"I saw with my own eyes that her soul was drawn out of Gou Wei's body by Gui Po Li Tao. The current Kikyo lives because of her own powerful resentment and the support of the dead soul. So, the current Kikyo has lost the qualification to guard the Jewel."

"Of course, this is only my personal suggestion; as for what to do, it still depends on your wishes."

Father and son, the three of them exchanged glances.

After a moment's consideration, Sango's father agreed to entrust the Shikon Jewel shard to Kikyo's reincarnation Gou Wei for safekeeping.

At this moment, Zang Ye turned his head, his gaze slightly narrowing.

A bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, striking down the flying object in the air.

"It's lightning…"

"Just a glance and…"

"So awesome~"

Sango's father, Kohaku, and Sango looked at Zang Ye with faces full of shock.

Such methods were simply unfathomable to gods and ghosts.

"We are being watched."

Zang Ye said lightly.

"What!? Being watched…" Sango's father looked utterly incredulous.

This is the Exorcist Village after all; what yokai would be so bold as to dare watch the Exorcist Village?

"Watched… could it be the thing that just fell." Sango rushed out, appearing at the item struck down by the lightning.

This thing looks like a bee, the size of a palm.

However, because of the lightning, its body is already roasted, emitting a fully cooked scent.

"Father, it's a poison insect."

Kohaku also appeared at Sango's side, his face flickering with incredulity, "Is it them, monitoring our conversation?"

Sango's father looked at Zang Ye, "Mage Zang Ye, do you know what this is?"

Zang Ye turned and walked slowly, "This is a poison insect, also called Saimyosho, Naraku's minions. Through them, he can see us, hear our conversation."

"Fifty years ago, Miko Kikyo's death was orchestrated single-handedly by this yokai, Naraku."

………………Divider…………………

In a castle, Naraku watched the image of Zang Ye and the others talking in the air suddenly shatter, the corner of his mouth hooking into a smile.

"To actually disguise himself as a mage, go to the Exorcist Village, half-demon... Zang Ye, if your identity is exposed, can you still stay in the Exorcist Village!?"

"Haha..."

Naraku's unrestrained laughter spread throughout the entire castle.

…………………Divider…………………

"So it's like this..."

"Unexpected, there's actually such a story behind this."

After hearing Zang Ye's words, Naraku utilizing shapeshifting to sow discord between Kikyo and Inuyasha, ultimately resulting in one death and one sealed, a wave of sighs.

"Naraku is too hateful..." Kohaku's face full of indignation.

"Miss Kikyo actually, wasn't really trying to kill Inuyasha, right." Sango with a look of still savoring it.

"Whether it is, doesn't matter anymore."

"The relationship between the two has already ended."

"Now Naraku has set his sights on this place, who knows what schemes. However, I'm certain of only two things. First, snatch the Shikon Jewel Shards, second, utilize you to accomplish what he wants to do."
