I have to say, Seimei... understands my power better than I do.

The explosion of the barrier caused a lot of commotion, and the force of the collapse of the barrier caused me to fly away. When I got up from the ground, I could only sit on the ground leaning on the stone. Watching the onmyojis in hunting clothes running around,

There was a little more happiness in my heart.

"Well done." A hand pressed on my shoulder, "Such a big incident happened on the first day. Those old guys probably won't be able to sit still."

"...So what?" I followed the hand, looked over, and met those blood-red eyes.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu chuckled: "I am the best candidate to be the next clan leader of the Minamoto clan, and I agreed to bring you back. What do you think will happen?"

"..." I frowned and looked at him.

"Maybe Kagura or Axi will be implicated." Minamoto no Yorimitsu straightened up as he spoke.

Kagura, like my brother, restricts my existence here.

"Then hand me over." I struggled to stand up and looked at the towering tower in the distance, "And you won't let Kagura get hurt."

"If I can make you a little more submissive, it's okay to hurt Kagura." Minamoto Yorimitsu doesn't treat me as a child, and I don't want others to treat me as a child.

"you--"

"How about a deal?"

Arrogant and unscrupulous are the most common descriptions I have heard about Minamoto Yorimitsu in other branches. If the rumors are not groundless, the reason why he treats me so special must be because I am a threat to him in some aspects.

"What deal?"

"Help me complete the treatment in two years." Minamoto norimitsu lowered his voice, "after that, I will give you your freedom."

Freedom... What I want is not my freedom, but...

I looked at my brother who was standing far away.

"Of course, if you do a good job, I will let your brother go." Minamoto no Yorimitsu said.

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could answer, I heard him continue.

"However, I think Genji is the most suitable place for you brothers and sisters to stay. It is your responsibility to help me eliminate demons and strengthen Genji."

Elder Genji came over later, and while asking me to be punished, Minamoto no Yorimitsu mentioned my name. In the next few days, Kagura and I were locked up together.

To be precise, I was locked up with those miko. Kagura was only more energetic at night, and the miko practice during the day had already consumed a lot of her energy.

I don’t know if Minamoto no Yorimitsu did this deliberately, but my shrine maiden training only lasted a few days, and then when I lived with Kagura, I was treated like a coquettish young lady. Kagura and the other shrine maidens got up early and came home late.

But he stayed in the yard like a normal person.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing.

"You are not allowed to say that about Sister Azi!"

One night I woke up from Kagura's crying. Kagura didn't know that I was beside her in her sleep. I hugged Kagura tightly, and she restlessly rested her head on my forehead.

"If you keep saying that, I won't play with you anymore! Sister Azi, she is also in pain..."

The rumors stopped spreading every day or two. I spent a month feeling guilty and tormented, and couldn't think of a better way. The excuse was that it was because I was recovering from my injuries, but every miko here has injuries, big and small, even

Kagura is no exception. I thought I would be able to practice with Kagura and the others if I didn't agree to Minamoto Yorimitsu's request, but I was wrong.

Being invited out of the place where the shrine maidens lived as Miss Genji, Yorimitsu Minamoto didn't care so much about his identity, so when he invited me to his room, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu dismissed the people around him, and there was a faint fragrance of tea in the room. Kagura was beside him helping to make tea. I walked a few steps forward anxiously, and Minamoto Yorimitsu said: "Kagura, go back.

Think carefully about what I said."

"What did you say to Kagura?!" I shouted at Minamoto no Yorimitsu before Kagura could speak.

"Yes, Minamoto no Yorimitsu-sama." Kagura put down her tea bowl and bowed respectfully to Minamoto no Yorimitsu, her eyes a little confused and a little puzzled.

Kagura didn't look at me, just passed me with her head lowered.

"Kagura? What did he say to you?" I stopped Kagura and asked.

Kagura still lowered her head, her hair covered her face, and I could not see her expression clearly. Kagura had never been like this before...

"If you miss the daily classes, there will be punishment." Minamoto norimitsu reminded him at the right time.

Hearing these words, I saw Kagura's body trembled, and then she bowed to me: "...I'm sorry, sister Azi."

After saying that, she walked around my hand and walked out of the room.

"What on earth did you say to Kagura?!" Now I just want to know what he said to Kagura, and I don't care whether the aura emanating from him is evil or not.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was sitting on top wearing a white kimono and did not listen to my words.

"What on earth did you say?" I tried my best to suppress the impulse in my heart, "If you dare to touch Kagura in the slightest, I will let you..."

"You can't hurt me without using the original demon power in your body. What's more, you have promised Axi that you will not let yourself become a demon, right?" Minamoto Noraimitsu just said these words.

I can't say a word in reply.

"It seems that Minamoto Yorimitsu didn't teach you the true meaning of strength." Minamoto Yorimitsu said, "People who are dominated by anger or any kind of emotion are not worthy of being associated with strength. Losing control on the battlefield will be the enemy to kill you.

Best opportunity."

"In my opinion, it's not necessary for you!" I opened my claws and rushed to the low table quickly, "At least now that my brother is not here, what can you do to me?"

I was very fast, but Minamoto no Yorimitsu was faster than me. By the time I jumped onto the low table, he had already drawn his sword and put it against my neck.

"Arrogance and recklessness are your biggest shortcomings." Yuan Laiguang said without changing his face, "Don't you understand? Now you, even if A Xi is not by my side, you still can't do anything to me."

"Really?" I continued my demonic power and quickly grabbed his knife, "Then let's give it a try."

The mark given by Yamama Haruka really helped me a lot. When the little purple snake turned into a mark and attached itself to my body, I knew that its role was definitely not just to transform into a giant snake.

What it's like to see people from a snake's perspective is what I see now, Minamoto Yorimitsu. I don't know if it has something to do with me being a half-demon. This ability has become more and more handy during the training process.

"You..." Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a little surprised by my rapid changes, but soon he smiled, "It's incredible. In just one month, you can achieve this."

I pressed his knife with both hands, stood firmly on my feet, and watched his movements without relaxing at all.

"It's a pity... you are only a little stronger than before." Minamoto Yoriguang easily pressed the knife over, and the movement was so fast that I couldn't see clearly. By the time I reacted, he had already grabbed my hand and held the knife against it.

On my neck.

"You see, as long as you polish it carefully, you will become extremely powerful." Minamoto Yorimitsu dropped the knife, let go of me and said, "You are not aware of your weakness now, so you feel that you are the most powerful."

Awesome. This is arrogance. Because you can’t control your emotions, it’s natural to be reckless.”

I looked at the cut on my hand, and I still couldn't understand why I had become so weak. No... Ever since my power was sealed by Seimei, I realized that I am an ordinary person. Is it Yamataka?

That mark makes me feel like I can do anything.

"You and A Xi are really completely different." Minamoto Noraimitsu put on a feathered fabric and turned his head to look at me, "You are nothing like him."

"...You called me here just to say this?" I clenched my fists.

"It's almost time." Minamoto Yorimitsu walked to me and couldn't help but hold my hand.

I struggled with great disgust, and he looked down at me: "If you continue to struggle, you will never see your brother again."

When I was growing flowers with my father, my father told me that if you want to grow flowers well, you must cultivate them according to their preferences, so that the flowers will grow as desired. But I am not a flower, and this man Minamoto Norimitsu is not his father, but why

,He can always control me easily?

Minamoto no Yorimitsu held my hand. I couldn't tell how many corridors we walked, and I didn't know how many retainers and maids we had seen. I could only let him lead me.

Finally, this long journey was over. Minamoto norimitsu sat down and he let go of my hand.

The dim bamboo curtain makes people breathless.

My hands were sticky with blood, and my palms were itching uncontrollably, but I stood still. I refused to say another word to him, nor did I want to make unnecessary movements.

"Cough!" A weak cough caught my attention.

I raised my eyelids slightly, and my body took a step forward faster than I could think. But soon, I was pulled by someone.

"You can't do anything if you go out now." Minamoto Norimitsu tightened his grip on my arm, "He is paying the price for your arrogance and recklessness. I am not interested in who gave you your arrogance and recklessness. I will give it to you now."

What you see is the price you have to pay."

I wanted to scream loudly, but Minamoto Yorimitsu covered my mouth. I just watched my brother being beaten with whips by those onmyojis. My brother lowered his head, and his blue hair was stuck with blood.

Whether he was beaten, punched or kicked, my brother endured it all in a muffled voice.

"Watch carefully, this is your first lesson." Minamoto Yorimitsu said.

I found myself starting to cry again. I couldn't break free from his grip on me, and I couldn't fight against so many Onmyoji on my own.

I can't remember how it ended in the end. I only know that the moment Minamoto no Yorimitsu let go, I fell to the ground. I didn't have the strength to get up, and I couldn't make any sound.

The onmyoji who had punished my brother gradually left, and he fell to the ground. I didn't want to see him like that... Is this the price? Just because I destroyed the barrier?

"This is not the place you lived before. If you are not strong enough, you must pay the price for your actions." Minamoto Noraimitsu stood up and looked at me condescendingly.

I can't do anything... I can't protect or not, what can I do now? I can't do anything... I've even hurt my brother...

Just relying on the power of Yamama Yuan... I rely on the power of others, why do I still feel so complacent?

"..."

"Are you sad?" Minamoto Yorimitsu sat down on his knees, held my chin, and asked me to look into his eyes, "It's a pity that you don't have that ability now."
