There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Dalian Temple looked at the girl with a teasing smile. This Jianshan Huangquan was a typical good kid from a well-off family. She followed the rules and obeyed them.

But who makes the rules? It's the high-ranking officials of the Onmyoji Bureau and the powerful exorcists. She, Suzuka Dairenji, who became a national first-class exorcist at a young age, is one of them. Of course, she knows more about the secrets of the industry than Isayama.

Rules are dead, but people are alive. What's wrong with discussing it? It's not open to the public. For people like them who are the precious fighting force of the Yin-Yang Bureau, as long as they don't violate the fundamental principles and make mistakes that will be caught and cause actual problems, they will not be held accountable.

She also regarded the powerful Li Nian as a wizard of the same level as herself, which was why she spoke frankly to him.

After hearing what Dalianji Suzuka said, Isayama didn't dare to interrupt anymore. He also knew that it was just talk and he wouldn't die, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to see and hear nothing, deciding not to interrupt easily.

Dalian Temple continued.

"It is true that techniques related to the soul are very dangerous, and researchers in this field often cause problems..." When she talked about this, her expression was very indifferent, as if she was deliberately suppressing her emotions: "But fundamentally, it is not the research related to the soul that is so taboo, but the Taishan Fujun Festival as a technique system, because the Taishan Fujun Festival has caused serious problems in the past."

Nura Rikuo sneered.

"Yes, we monsters also know this. It's because of that guy named Tsuchimikado Yeguang among your Onmyojis, who performed the Taishan Fujun Festival, which caused a big commotion at the time and disrupted the balance of the country's spiritual veins, causing them to become disordered with the force of a raging wave, which led to the frequent spiritual disasters across the country now."

Li Nian was shocked when he heard this information: "What did you say? The frequent spiritual disasters across the country are the result of someone performing the Taishan Palace Lord Sacrifice?"

Dalian Temple nodded: "That's it."

Indeed, Li Nian had dealt with quite a lot of Type I and II spiritual disasters in his work - most of them were caused by the disorder of spiritual veins, which led to excessive accumulation of spiritual energy in a certain place, and further triggered spiritual disasters. Li Nian had doubts when he was calming down those spiritual disasters, because according to reason, the energy flow of spiritual veins should naturally tend to balance, and it should have reached a stable state after so many years.

At that time, Li Nian thought that this was caused by the drastic environmental changes in modern times, but now after hearing what they said, it turns out that this is not the case, but is due to human factors.

"Tsuchimikado Yeguang, right..." Li Nian murmured the name and frowned.

"Don't rush to label him a terrorist. He is a great wizard who integrated different sorcery systems from all over the country, blending various techniques derived from Shinto, Buddhism, Taoism and other beliefs, discarding the dross and retaining the essence, and then further simplified and popularized them to create the main modern Japanese sorcery system, the [Pan-style Yin-Yang Technique]."

Speaking of [Pan-style Yin-Yang Art], Li Nian had a deep memory. The thick book that Isayama brought him was about [Pan-style Yin-Yang Art]. He had already finished reading it and absorbed a lot of knowledge, methods, and viewpoints from it. He understood that this spell system was a large system that involved various aspects and included many beliefs, as Dalian Temple Suzuka said. More importantly, this system was relatively easy to get started with and was not obscure, making it suitable as a textbook. According to Dalian Temple, the contemporary spell system in Japan was built around it, and it was the knowledge base for exorcists like Dalian Temple and Isayama.

"I've always thought the author was amazing. It turns out he's called this... So it was this person who caused nationwide spiritual disturbances because of his performance of the Taishan Fujun Sacrifice, which led to the Taishan Fujun Sacrifice ritual being considered a taboo?"

"You understand it quickly."

"How could it be so exaggerated at that time? To the extent that it affected the spiritual veins across the country?"

"The authorities did not leave any detailed records, but the tragic consequences were clearly recorded. Ye Guang, who performed the ritual, died. Not only that, under the influence of the ritual, the spiritual energy was severely disturbed, thus destroying the original balance and triggering an unprecedented spiritual disaster. As a result, the spiritual veins across the country became disordered, causing the first and second types of spiritual disasters to occur frequently. Later, the exorcists had to run around to do maintenance and repairs."

"Such a big thing is not recorded?" Li Nian looked incredulous.

"Yes, it is generally believed that history was erased by the upper echelons of the Onmyoji Bureau. The public does not know that the person who caused the problem at that time was named Tsuchimikado Yoko, and he was the head of the Tsuchimikado family at that time. For the upper echelons, it is undoubtedly a scandal that needs to be concealed. Anyway, after so long, few people know what happened at that time. Now the Tsuchimikado family is still firmly entrenched in the top position of the Onmyoji Bureau, and the current director is still the current head of the Tsuchimikado family, Tsuchimikado Arima."

"I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I don't know, I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I don't know..." Isayama had buried his head on the table, hypnotizing himself like a mantra, trying his best to reduce his presence.

"In short, the Taishan Palace Lord Ceremony is so taboo because the Yin-Yang Office is afraid of causing a spiritual disaster of that magnitude again?"

"Yes, this is the main reason."

It is no wonder that when Jianshan heard the young man say that he was studying the Taishan Lord Festival, he immediately wanted to capture him and interrogate him.

And Yuyuko seems to be studying this ritual that once brought great disaster.

What was he trying to do? To cause another great spiritual disaster with the goal of sinking Japan to the bottom of the sea? Then why did he go around in circles and form a youkai alliance?

I don’t know. I don’t quite understand.

Speaking of which, there is another question, about why we found Dalian Temple. The young man mentioned a name...

Li Nian looked at Dalian Temple Suzuka, and after thinking for a while, he asked.

"Who is the Great Daoist of Dalian Temple regarding this matter?"

Dalian Temple immediately fell silent, and his expression became noticeably gloomy.

Isayama said he wasn't listening - but in fact he was listening. At this moment, he finally raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at the child prodigy. He looked a little cautious, knowing that it was a taboo topic for the child prodigy, so he decided to talk about it himself.

"Dalian Temple Zhidao was an onmyoji who studied various forbidden techniques, including the Taishan Fujun Festival. He conducted various inhumane experiments, but these actions were exposed in a spiritual disaster he caused. In the end, Dalian Temple Zhidao himself died in it..."

That is to say, he was not caught before he was exposed, and in the end he caused the spiritual disaster and killed himself. Now he appears in the form of a spirit at Yuyuko's place?

He sounds like a super dangerous guy, and this guy seems to be Dalianji Suzuka's...father?

But Isayama didn't point this out.

Dalian Temple also remained silent and did not respond.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Li Nian could already guess some of the information.

The young man seemed to have approached her because of the relationship between Dalianji Zhidao and Dalianji Suzuka, and said that he wanted to invite her to join the "research" on the grounds that Dalianji Suzuka and her father had the same research direction - it is easy to understand that the child prodigy's research was heavily influenced by his father, so what's so strange about it?

Perhaps Dalian Temple Suzuka is also conducting research on the taboo rituals of the "Taishan Fujun Festival"...

Li Nian suddenly asked coldly.

"Could it be that Lord Dalianji is also doing something disregarding human life in his research?"

Chapter 252 Li Nian's Trust and the Unknown Inside Story

Dalian Temple slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Do you think that bastard Zhidao of Dalian Temple and I are birds of a feather?!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with strange expressions, she realized that she had overreacted a bit. She sat down again, took a deep breath, and calmed down a lot. However, she glared back at Li Nian fiercely and put on a cold tone as if she didn't care.

"...Do you doubt me? You are free to do so."

"I doubt you, so I hope that Lord Dalianji can give you an answer to this question. This will determine how we get along as colleagues... and classmates in the future."

"Hahaha... After all this talk, you should have guessed my research direction." The girl licked her lips, showing a charming smile with a provocative tone, and threw the question back: "Then what do you think, Lord Li, have I ever done anything that took human lives lightly?"

Isayama frowned. In fact, he knew that because of her relationship with Dalianji Zhidao, Dalianji Suzuka's every move had always been watched by the Juesou Department. The research direction of the prodigy might be tacitly approved, but the content of the research would not cross the bottom line. Since she was sent here by Lord Tenruo, it meant that she was basically trustworthy.

But Dalian Temple did not simply deny Li Nian's question, but used this statement, as if to imply to Li Nian that Dalian Temple Suzuka was not a good person, and had really done something against justice...

This is undoubtedly a form of revenge, a deliberate misleading of Li Nian, but this approach is really too naive...

Although he is indeed a national-level demon exorcist with corresponding strength, after getting along with this child prodigy, you can feel that Dalian Temple Suzuka is still a little childish, with a straightforward and willful side. Normally, there is no big problem, but in this matter, he also ignites the desire to fight against Li Nian? Didn't she think about who this Li Nian sitting next to her is? Didn't she see the terrifying look of him getting more excited when he was injured when fighting with the god just now? Did she think that such a Li Nian would really give her a win? Didn't she take his question seriously?

Isayama knew that although Li Nian usually seemed quite rational and steady, when this guy was serious about solving a problem, his methods would become extremely direct, even reckless. He was the type of person who did whatever he wanted.

Based on Jianshan's understanding of Li Nian, since he asked this question seriously, he would take Daliansi's answer seriously. In other words, depending on the answer, if Li Nian really thinks Daliansi is an evil person he hates, then it is very likely that she will directly tear her face off with her on the spot... She may even draw her sword and chop this child prodigy.

Jianshan became nervous and was already thinking of an excuse to exonerate Dalianji.

Nura Rikuo found this scene very interesting and had no intention of interrupting.

Li Nian stared at Dalian Temple, who was sneering, silently for a while, and finally curled his lips as if he found it quite funny.

"...What's so funny?" Daliansi asked with a frown.

"I just feel that even if he is hailed as a child prodigy, he is still just a weird kid after all. It's a bit stupid to worry about such a guy."

Isayama breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Nian is not a fool. Of course, he could see the obvious provocation. He understood that the kid was angry because he was suspected by him and deliberately said that. But this childish behavior just showed that his mind was not that deep. Li Nian, like Isayama, did not deny that Dalian Temple Suzuka was capable at work and was a genuine and excellent demon exorcist, but he also felt that she did have the childishness of a child. It was unlikely that such a person would do such a thing as taking human life lightly.

Dalian Temple became more and more angry.

"...Are you looking down on me? Huh?! I'll kill you, you bastard!"

She was indeed a little angry, and seemed to be trying to threaten someone, but her red cheeks made her look even cuter, which only made people realize that she was just a little girl.

Someone else might have taken the prodigy's nonsense seriously, but Li Nian naturally would not take this threat to heart. His attitude had already relaxed, and he took a long, steady breath while answering lazily.

"I see. You said you don't want to be considered the same kind of guy as Zhidao from Dalian Temple, right? I believe you and won't ask you a second time."

Daliansi Suzuka's emotional expression is very straightforward and believable, including when she just slammed the table and angrily scolded Li Nian, finally showing the attitude towards her father that she had always wanted to hide - hatred and disgust.

This clearly reflects her thoughts. She, Dalian Temple Suzuka, is not ashamed to be associated with Dalian Temple Zhidao.

After hearing what Li Nian said, the girl was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had gained Li Nian's trust. Then she calmed down honestly and stopped having that thorny attitude. However, she still muttered unhappily: "Who needs your trust..."

After a short silence.

Dalian Temple suddenly spoke again.

"Dalian Temple Zhidao is indeed my father..."

When Li Nian had no intention of pursuing the matter further, the girl finally gave in and was willing to talk about her own story. However, after admitting her blood relationship with Dalian Temple Zhidao, she immediately showed an expression of disgust and added another sentence.

"But don't ever think that I have any deep feelings for that person. The truth is quite the opposite... He is the person I hate the most in the world!"

The deep resentment that could not be hidden in the low tone.

Even Isayama heard the "prodigy" talk about her opinion of her father for the first time. Although he had heard some of the deeds and guessed some of Dalian Temple Suzuka's thoughts, hearing it from the person himself now had a higher degree of credibility and shock.

Under the gaze of everyone, Dalianji Suzuka, who expressed her hatred towards her biological father, recalled the distant past. Those memories that had been sealed away with the confirmed death of that person in the spiritual disaster were unsealed today with the reappearance of that name, and surfaced in her mind, yet they were still as clear as if it were yesterday.

Feeling cold, Dalian Si crossed his arms, his distorted face was filled with hatred and a hint of fear.

"My brother and I... have long stopped considering those parents as our relatives... Those two people have never considered us as their children! To them, our own blood is just better experimental material... I have been tortured by them since I was born - no, I have been tortured since before I was born! They cast several forbidden spells on us, and even my brother was killed by them!"

The deep inner story made Jianshan and Li Nian speechless.

The reason why Dalianji Suzuka had such strength at such a young age was suddenly explained. Her huge cursed power and profound knowledge were because she was trained as a test subject since childhood. It can be seen that she cared about her brother very much, but he has passed away because she could not bear the pain of the experiment.

Isayama already knew some of the inside story, but when she heard Suzuka Dalianji tell it herself, the kind-hearted girl still felt extremely painful for what happened to her and showed an uncomfortable look.

Nura Rikuo frowned and spat, saying with disdain: "You have plenty of exorcists among you, right? This kind of scum is just trash."

"Please don't kill them all with one blow! Lord Nura." Isayama said angrily: "The exorcists I know would not bother to associate with such people. They harmed their children like this. Those two people are not worthy of being parents... or they are not worthy of being human beings at all!"

"Hehe... That's good." Nura Rikuo shrugged indifferently, showing that he didn't want to argue.

Throughout history, there have been many researchers who disregard human ethics and emotions. In fact, they are not uncommon among magicians. They only care about power and knowledge, and everything else is not important to them. It is not uncommon for people like the parents in Dalian Temple to be like this.

Li Nian didn't show any reaction, nor did he say any words of comfort. He looked at Daliansi Suzuka in silence, and felt the pain that the child in front of him was experiencing, which was already revealed in her distorted expression... Looking at her defensive posture of unconsciously hugging herself, he knew that she had not yet completely walked out of the shadow.

So just hearing the name Dalian Temple Zhidao made her extremely shaken. From the moment she met the young man and heard this name, this [child prodigy] had already lost her composure...

This is a very serious problem.

After all, he is still a little devil...

Li Nian decided to pay attention to this point, and silently memorized the name Dalian Temple Zhidao in his heart, remembering that he was a scum who was still alive in the form of a spirit. He understood that such an Onmyoji who liked to do some messy things before his death would only continue to do such things after he turned into a spiritual being and joined Yuyuko's school. Therefore, he put him on the list in his mind that [it is better to kill him if you meet him].

Dalian Si suddenly came back to his senses, forced himself out of the memories of the past, immediately raised his head, stared at Li Nian, and spoke word by word.

"So, you are not allowed to confuse me with that scumbag!"

Li Nian closed his eyes and nodded. He had already said it once, and now he reiterated it more solemnly.

"I understand. I will never do that again."

He opened his eyes and smiled gently.

"I promised you that, so don't cry, little one."

"...!"

Dalian Si wiped her eyes subconsciously, but found that there were no tears at all. She immediately realized that Li Nian was lying to her, and shouted angrily: "Who cried? I didn't cry! Do you think I will cry again because of such a small matter at this point!"

I mean, I shed tears for this before...

Li Nian shook her head.

"If I keep talking, I feel like you're going to cry."

"would not!"

"It's okay if it doesn't happen."

Two deliberate jokes diluted the solemn atmosphere. Li Nian did not intend to delve into this issue any further, as it would only dig into someone's wounds. He returned to the point: "So I already know what you think, Lord Dalian Temple. I believe you will not be easily persuaded by that young man to stand against me... But I think that young man will not give up on you so easily. From what he said before he left, it can be seen that he still wants to win your approval and may contact you again in the future."

Chapter 253: The Gradually Emerging Sense of Grouping

Nura Rikuo's eyes lit up.

Will that young man come into contact with the child prodigy again?

When Nura Rikuo learned from Li Nian that the young man might be the murderer who wiped out the Kanto Great Ape Society, he wanted to capture him... No, if he was confirmed to be the murderer, he would of course want to kill these guys directly to pay tribute to the baboon's spirit in heaven and use his head to calm the anger of the Nura group.

But Nura Rikuo also understood that it would be difficult to track down the young man. If a powerful wizard really wanted to hide, or decided to return to Yuyuko, Nura Rikuo really had no good way to find him and take revenge in the short term.

But after listening to what Li Nian said, it seems that there may be a chance of recovery. The young man may not have left and is planning to find Dalian Temple Suzuka again.

Nura Rikuo silently took note of this information and decided to pay more attention to the child prodigy in the future.

Dalian Temple was slightly startled and frowned: "Hey, you still don't believe me, right? If I'm asked again, I will definitely refuse like I did today."
