Chapter 158 Natsume Qingan
"Natsume Kiyoyasu?"
Wang Changsheng frowned deeply.
"Who is that?"
The system's sudden notification left Wang Changsheng with a deep sense of confusion.
Because at this moment, the system suddenly displayed a completely unfamiliar name, and he obtained negative points from that person.
However, it should be noted that Wang Changsheng had been talking to Sakura and Tomoyo the whole time, and the condition for obtaining negative points from others was that they had a friendly conversation with him.
Now, out of nowhere, another person with a different name has suddenly appeared.
What does this mean?
There was another person beside them!
When this thought and speculation appeared in Wang Changsheng's mind, his heart skipped a beat.
He looked around. The sky was already dark, and the moonlight overhead had been obscured by layers of thick, dense clouds.
If it weren't for the streetlights hanging by the roadside, casting dim light, they wouldn't have been able to see each other's faces clearly.
A short distance behind them was the school's back hill, hidden in the darkness and difficult to see clearly.
The doors of the houses they passed were all tightly shut, as if at this time, all the surrounding residents had fallen into a deep sleep.
He didn't initially think there was anything wrong with the scene, but it was the prompt given to him by Wang Changsheng's system that made his heart jump.
Who exactly is Natsume Seiyasu?
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but start to think about what he, Sakura, and Tomoyo had just talked about that triggered this system notification.
"fiancé……"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Changsheng.
He immediately recalled the conversation he had just had with Sakura and the others.
At that time, Sakura said that she hoped that if Maki's husband were alive, he would be happy that Maki's sister was able to run the boutique smoothly.
Wang Changsheng felt that Xiaoying's words were somewhat ambiguous, so he casually corrected her, saying that since the shop manager was not married to her fiancé, she could not be called her husband.
Just then, a system notification popped up.
Out of caution, Wang Changsheng turned his gaze back to Sakura, then chuckled: "But do you think that even though it was the Clow Cards that were causing trouble this time, and not Masaki's fiancé, if souls really exist in this world, wouldn't Masaki's fiancé just sit by and watch the Clow Cards bully his fiancée, oh, I mean his fiancée?"
Message: Negative points from Natsume Seiyasu +4444
"Huh?" Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Sakura scratched her head, her expression still somewhat frightened. "This? I don't know either. Ghosts and stuff shouldn't exist, right? This is a Clow Card card after all."
As Sakura spoke, she looked around, as if she felt a bit chilly.
Wang Changsheng didn't answer her, but just chuckled and instead focused his attention back on the name Natsume Seian.
The system notification that popped up again undoubtedly indicated that there was indeed something around them.
"Could it be..." Wang Changsheng had already made a bold guess, "Manager Masaki's fiancé really has turned into a ghost and is still by her side?"
Since the system notification was triggered, there must have been someone around them just now.
However, at this moment, they were right by the main road, and even though it was very quiet around them, they spoke in very low voices, afraid of being noticed by others. If someone were hiding in the shadows, they shouldn't have been able to hear their conversation.
Wang Changsheng recalled the clues that the system had previously revealed, and with this latest system notification, he could say that he had basically confirmed something.
He didn't know if the shopkeeper Masaki's fiancé was actually this person named Natsume Seiyasu, but he was certain that this person must have some kind of relationship with the shopkeeper Masaki.
But if the other party really is a ghost or spirit, why don't I feel anything?
Ghosts should have a presence, right?
Could it be that this guy is much stronger than me, so he can more naturally conceal his aura and prevent me from sensing it?
But the other party probably never imagined, even as a ghost, that they would have a system that inadvertently revealed even their name.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng, who was looking around, suddenly stopped.
There are two reasons.
One reason is that Natsume Seian, who was choked by his friendly exchange earlier, may not realize that he has been discovered. His looking around like this is too obvious, which is tantamount to admitting his mistake.
It might make the other person feel that their perfect disguise has been exposed, thus causing some unexpected changes and strange occurrences when the other person had no intention of interacting with them.
This is something Wang Changsheng doesn't want to see.
As for another reason, it was that something else suddenly popped into his mind.
"Natsume? Is there someone named Natsume in our class?" Wang Changsheng's brows gradually relaxed, but his eyes were still flashing with thoughts.
Logically speaking, unless it's a very common surname, it's generally difficult to meet someone with the same surname here.

People with the same surname usually know each other; for example, they are relatives.
Of course, whether they are close relatives or distant relatives, they are still family.
Is Masaki's fiancé named Natsume Seiyasu?
Could there be some kind of relationship between him and the person in his class who has the same surname?
Wang Changsheng racked his brains, trying to recall the name of the classmate who also shared the surname Natsume.
The result was somewhat unexpected, or rather, somewhat embarrassing.
He couldn't even remember what the person's name was...
"But it's really strange." Wang Changsheng's brows were still slightly furrowed, a result of his subconscious thinking. Clearly, the answer he came up with was not pleasant.
"Judging from my current body and intelligence, which have been cleansed by magic, even if my body is still that of a primary school student, my actual age is over several decades. Perhaps I didn't have a deep memory of things that I didn't care about before, but it's different now."
Under the nourishment of magic, Wang Changsheng's memory has seen a significant increase and improvement.
Even though he never consciously tried to remember the names of his classmates, after spending some time with them, he had a basic understanding of everyone's names.
Especially the student in their class named Natsume, who was a cute and shy girl.
If Wang Changsheng remembered correctly, just two days after he transferred to this class, the other person came to him, wanting to express their desire to be friends.
Wang Changsheng politely declined. At that moment, he only had Sakura and Tomoyo in his heart and had no thoughts about anyone else around him.
Because of his preconceived notions, he didn't pay much attention to this girl who seemed to have some affection for him. He just felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.
But now that I think about it, it really does seem a bit strange.
After being rejected by him the first time, the girl never contacted him again. Later, Wang Changsheng himself had no recollection of her and naturally forgot about her.
However, this was the first person whose name seemed familiar to him and who also wanted to be his friend. Logically, with Wang Changsheng's current memory, he should have remembered her name, but he didn't have any other impressions. He only knew that her surname was Natsume.
Wang Changsheng pondered for a long time but still couldn't remember what the girl's name was.
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong?" Just as Wang Changsheng's thoughts were churning wildly, Xiao Ying seemed to notice that something was wrong with him and asked with concern.
"Huh? No, I was just thinking about some things." Sakura's voice interrupted Wang Changsheng's thoughts. He shook his head and didn't say much, only expressing his joy and happiness at capturing the Clow Cards and helping the shopkeeper sister get rid of the shadow of the Clow Cards.
Whether Natsume Seiyasu, who is currently standing around them, is friend or foe remains unknown, and he has no idea whether he is Masaki's fiancé.
Everything was just Wang Changsheng's speculation based on various superficial signs. Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party was able to keep himself and Xiao Ke from noticing anything, his strength should not be too weak.
This person was following them on this dark street at this very moment. It would be fine if Wang Changsheng were alone, but he had two girls, Xiaoying and Zhishi, with him.
Sakura, in particular, is extremely averse to anything related to gods or ghosts, avoiding it at all costs.
If she knew that there was likely a ghost of unknown purpose lurking around them, she might faint from fright.
Therefore, he did not intend to alert the enemy directly, but planned to start his research with Natsume, a classmate of his.
"Is that so?" Hearing Wang Changsheng's explanation, Xiaoying didn't seem to have any doubts. She simply nodded and then said to the two people beside her, "Then let's hurry home now? It's getting late, and your homes are quite a distance from here. How are you going to get back?"
Tomoyo's dark purple eyes appeared somewhat profound in the darkness: "My bodyguards are at that intersection over there. I told them to wait for me there. They can just take me back. It's just that Changsheng-kun..."
How Zhi Shi left wasn't a big problem. She turned to look at Wang Changsheng and asked, "How are you going to leave?"
Sakura also looked over.
"I'll just fly back." Wang Changsheng had also calmed down, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened, and relaxed as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't even noticed that there was another person around them.
After seeing Tomoyo off in the car, Sakura and Wang Changsheng went their separate ways and left.
Wang Changsheng was a little worried, so he secretly followed Xiaoying for a while. After she got to the vicinity of her home, he suddenly jumped up from a corner and soared into the sky.
The night was as dark as ink, spreading across the entire sky.
Wang Changsheng moved among them, his brows furrowed, looking somewhat grave.
"Damn it, which way do I go home?"
------
After everyone had left.
The wind chimes in the boutique seemed to sway gently.
"These children..."

at this time.
Sneaking back into the house without daring to breathe, Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that no one seemed to have noticed her presence.
She quietly changed her clothes, then lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and felt a great sense of comfort.
"What's wrong with you? You seem a little scared?" Keroberos noticed Sakura's actions. It crawled into Sakura's bed, rested its head on the pillow that was many times bigger than itself, and looked at her with its head tilted to the side.
Sakura, nestled in bed, felt a strong sense of security, and her nerves relaxed considerably.
She turned to the side, her dark green eyes falling on Xiao Ke's round, yellow head.
Sakura was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I don't know either, I just have some feelings..."
"Feeling? What feeling?" Xiao Ke didn't understand what Xiao Ying was talking about.
"It's just..." Sakura hesitated for a moment, but finally, she said, "Have you noticed that when we're coming back, or when we're in the boutique, we sometimes have this feeling of being watched?"
"What?!" Xiao Ke was stunned. "Being spied on? I don't feel that way at all!"
Sakura's expression was a bit complicated. She couldn't quite describe what she had felt just now; it was just strange and indescribable.
In the end, she could only shake her head.
"It's just a feeling I have, or maybe it's just my imagination." Although she said that, Xiaoying couldn't help but frown when she recalled Wang Changsheng's strange expression before they parted. "I think Xiao Wang might have also noticed something, but I don't know why he didn't explain it clearly at the time."
"Do you think I should ask Xiao Wang about this when I go to school tomorrow?" Xiao Ying huddled under the covers, her little feet tucked tightly into the blankets, leaving no gaps.
Xiao Ke pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "If you think your feeling is real, then go ahead and ask. Anyway, if there really is a problem, that brat Wang Changsheng probably won't hide it from you."
Hearing Keroberos's affirmative answer, Sakura hesitated again: "But I also have a feeling that those prying eyes aren't focused on us, but rather on..."
Sakura vaguely had her own guess, but she couldn't be sure. In the end, she fell silent and didn't continue the topic. She just couldn't help but tuck her quilt tighter, and at the same time her whole body shrank down. The quilt covered her head, and only her little face was exposed for half an hour.
Just as Xiao Ke found a comfortable position to lie down, she felt Sakura suddenly grab most of the blanket off her. She immediately complained in a low voice, "Don't take all the blanket away! I'll catch a cold tonight!"
"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry." Sakura pulled Kero closer to her and tucked the blanket back in for him.
Once again enveloped in the now-warm blankets, Xiao Ke rolled over slightly. "Hmph, that's more like it. Okay, okay, stop worrying about it, go to sleep, I'm so sleepy!"
"Okay, I'm a little sleepy too." Seeing that Kero looked like he wanted to go to sleep quickly, Sakura nodded helplessly.
However, with it by her side, Sakura's fear of being alone was reduced a lot.
