The True Best Candidate
In fact, Luo Zhen knew perfectly well that Natsuki did not want him to go to Kannawa Lake because she was worried about him.
The existence of the Fourth True Ancestor could very likely affect the seal at Kannawa Lake, and his magical power might stimulate the Spiritual Beast sealed within it. But the reverse was also true.
The Spiritual Beast sealed in Kannawa Lake might in turn affect the seal within Luo Zhen, stimulating the Primogenitor and ultimately allowing her to break free of the seal, inflicting irreparable harm on Luo Zhen.
That was something Natsuki could never accept.
Luo Zhen had finally returned after disappearing for two months, only to throw himself into such a dangerous incident. How could Natsuki possibly agree?
That was why Natsuki had tried her hardest to stop Luo Zhen from going to Kannawa Lake. She had even tried to keep him from learning about Nagisa and Aurora.
Though Natsuki was not unconcerned about Nagisa and Aurora's safety, this was both a requisition ordered by the state and the best choice for dealing with the seal at Kannawa Lake. As a national Demon Slayer, Natsuki ultimately had no choice but to turn a blind eye to Nagisa and Aurora's situation.
But when it came to Luo Zhen, Natsuki could not turn a blind eye.
With that in mind, Natsuki had already decided that even if she had to use force, she would stop Luo Zhen from leaving.
Just as Natsuki made up her mind...
"I almost forgot to tell you, Natsuki."
Luo Zhen suddenly said this.
"Actually, the Primogenitor is already gone. There is no longer any seal inside me."
Those earth-shattering words left Luo Zhen's mouth and reached everyone's ears.
"What!?"
Yugiri Asagi could not help but cry out
