Chapter 656: Yecheng is the Teacher of the Prodhouse Family!
Chapter 656: Yecheng is the Teacher of the Prodhouse Family!
Genyuu Tsugikado and his wife, Genkuro Tenshin, have five children, four daughters, and one son, Prodhouse Koryosai. The reason for having only one son is likely due to the curse that has taken the lives of several of their children.
Tsugikado is well aware of his situation, and he knows that he can only hold on for two more years at most.
By then, his son, Koryosai, will only be eight years old.
Asking him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Demon Slayer Corps at such a young age would undoubtedly put immense pressure on him.
Now that Yecheng has a way to prolong his life, Tsugikado is delighted because it means that by the time he passes away, his son will be a little older.
As Yecheng frequently uses his spiritual energy to help Tsugikado recuperate, he has become quite familiar with the Prodhouse family.
Tenshin and her five children—Koryosai, Chiyui, Niko, Kanai, and Hifuka—all hold Yecheng in high regard.
When Tenshin witnessed Yecheng using the "Return Path," she distinctly felt that he was utilizing a power different from the Breath Technique.
Yecheng was surprised that Tenshin could sense the flow of spiritual energy.
It was only later that he learned Tenshin was from the Shrine Maiden Clan, and although she was human, she possessed some unique abilities.
After learning about Yecheng's power, Tenshin bowed deeply and begged him to teach her this healing ability.
She did this not for any other reason but as a wife who wanted to do something for her suffering husband.
Tenshin's sincere plea, coupled with Yecheng's own curiosity about whether others in the world could also master the use of spiritual energy, led him to eventually agree to her request.
Upon seeing their mother bowing before Yecheng, Tsugikado and Tenshin's children exchanged glances and then knelt before Yecheng, saying, "Please, Mr. Yecheng, teach us how to heal our father as well."
Yecheng had not even spoken when Tenshin, with her exceptionally beautiful face, showed signs of anger.
She scolded her children, "You are being too presumptuous! Apologize to Mr. Yecheng right now!"
Indeed, Tenshin was touched by her children's filial piety, but as an adult, she understood the situation well.
Yecheng's healing power might be a family secret or some hidden knowledge not meant to be shared.
Agreeing to teach her might have been out of respect for Tsugikado as their lord.
Now that her other children wanted to learn as well, Tenshin felt they were pushing their luck.
She worried that they might anger Yecheng and cause him to change his mind about teaching even her.
In short, Tenshin believed that while her children's filial piety was commendable, their current behavior was undoubtedly causing her trouble.
"Mr. Yecheng, please don't mind them. They are just overly concerned about their father.
I can assure you that whatever you teach me, I will never share it with anyone else until we are both laid to rest."
Tenshin apologized and repeatedly made promises, seemingly very worried that Yecheng might change his mind.
"Madam, you are too kind. Your children are well-behaved, and I don't recall ever saying that I wouldn't teach them."
Tenshin was taken aback by Yecheng's words, and then, with a delighted expression, she looked up at him and asked, "Mr. Yecheng, do you mean...?"
"Yes, I mean that if they wish to learn, I am willing to teach them everything I know.
Because of the unique power I possess, which is quite special, aside from my own swordsmanship, ordinary people may not be able to master it.
But seeing that the Lady can sense spiritual energy, perhaps the Shrine Maiden Clan is somewhat special.
Indeed, aside from his own slashing techniques, Yecheng's mastery of Ghost Techniques, hand-to-hand combat, and Shunpo, as well as the "Spirit Breathing Technique" he created in this world, all require spiritual energy.
However, it seems that no one else in this world has the ability to sense spiritual energy, which means that even if Yecheng wanted to find disciples, he would be powerless to do so.
Take Konosuke and Midori, for example; Yecheng could only guide them in swordsmanship.
But ever since he realized that Genkuro Tenshin could sense his spiritual energy, Yecheng had an idea.
"The power I possess is not limited to healing; there are many other aspects, including my Spirit Breathing Technique.
But due to special circumstances, ordinary people cannot use these powers. Since you, my Lady, can sense spiritual energy, it's worth a try.
As for your children, since they also inherited half of the Shrine Maiden Clan's bloodline, they may possess the potential."
The Genkuro family has a distinct trait: regardless of gender, especially among the males, their bodies are frail and prone to illness due to the curse.
It's not that they don't want to fight demons using breathing techniques; their bodies are simply unsuitable for any such techniques.
However, Yecheng stated that his breathing technique differs from all others; as long as one can sense spiritual energy, there are no physical requirements.
Furthermore, by learning to absorb and master spiritual energy, not only can one's frail body improve, but the curse can also be resisted to a certain extent.
In other words, if Genkuro Koryosai could learn the "Spirit Breathing Technique," he might be able to avoid the Genkuro family's fate of short lifespans.
When they heard Yecheng's words, not only Genkuro Tenshin but even the ailing Genkuro Tsugikado struggled to get up, hoping that Yecheng would become the teacher of Genkuro Koryosai and his siblings.
No parents in the world don't care about their children. Genkuro Tsugikado had already accepted his fate, but hearing that his children's destiny could be changed, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.
"Don't get too excited yet. What I just said is merely my speculation.
Whether they can sense spiritual energy is still unknown, and as things stand, only the Lady has the most potential."
Even though Yecheng said this, the Genkuro family still bowed in gratitude and promised to fully cooperate with Yecheng's teachings.
This was why Yecheng stayed at the Genkuro residence for over a month.
Regarding the Genkuro children all taking Yecheng as their teacher, Yecheng didn't let Genkuro Tsugikado publicize it; he only announced that Yecheng was treating Genkuro Tsugikado.
So, even now, not even the Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps know about the relationship between the Genkuro family and Yecheng.
He chose to do this for two reasons: one, Yecheng didn't like trouble, and two, to protect Genkuro Tsugikado's children.
After all, if outsiders knew that the Genkuro family was no longer as frail and weak as before, there would undoubtedly be those with ulterior motives.
