While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

"Won't."

Tianyan spoke these words with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation on his face, and said them directly.

"My mission is to assist Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki in protecting the asteroid body."

"Therefore, if anyone threatens the safety of the astral body, from a mission perspective, I should intervene to stop them."

She raised an eyebrow, and the curve of her lips widened even further.

"From a task perspective?"

He repeated the word, as if savoring its meaning: "And from your own perspective?"

Tianyan was silent for a moment, then he smiled, a smile that carried a self-deprecating sense of helplessness.

"Putting that aside, I don't want to have a direct confrontation with you, Mr. Shen."

"If a direct confrontation were to occur, I am certain that I could not stop 'Heaven and the Tyrant'."

"So..."

Tianyan shrugged and spread his hands: "Isn't the answer obvious?"

Shen Er paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it was genuine, carrying a sense of "you're quite something, kid."

"You're honest, aren't you?"

Tianyan shrugged: "Recognizing your own strength isn't a bad thing."

"In that case, I'll go take care of my own business first. See you next time, Mr. Shen."

Tianyan strode forward, and paused for a moment as he passed Shen'er.

"Mr. Shen'er."

"Um?"

"Whatever your reason for coming here..."

Tianyan glanced at him sideways and smiled slightly.

"be safe."

After saying that, he continued walking forward without looking back.

Shen Er stood there, watching his back, and remained silent for a moment.

"You little rascal..."

He said something in a low voice, his tone revealing no emotion.

Then he turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Tianyan walked out of that street, turned into a less crowded alley, and stopped.

He leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, head down looking at the ground, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

It is no coincidence that Shen Er is here.

"Just passing by"?

That kind of excuse is so convincing, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.

Tianyan knew very well what Shen'er was waiting for.

He was waiting for Gojo Satoru to be at his weakest.

The escort mission for the astral body involved too many variables from start to finish. The process of finding Riko, escorting her, and taking her to the Rising Star Palace for assimilation took time.

During this time, Gojo Satoru and Natsume Yuuki must remain vigilant and ready to fight at any moment.

Human energy is limited.

The power of magic is limited.

Attention span is also limited.

Shen Er is waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a flaw, waiting for that 'strongest genius' to reveal even the slightest opening.

Then he would stab in precisely, like a knife.

Tianyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

He knew Jin would succeed, not because Jin was better than Gojo Satoru, but because Jin was too good at waiting.

They're too good at finding weaknesses.

They are too good at delivering a fatal blow when everyone thinks it's "safe".

But Tenyan also knew that Gojo Satoru would not die.

He will survive, he will become stronger, he will become the pinnacle of the sorcery world, and he will become someone that everyone looks up to.

As for...

Tianyan opened his eyes and took his phone out of his pocket.

He scrolled through his contacts, found the name, rubbed the dial button, took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and then dialed.

The phone rang once and was answered.

"Senior Mingming, I need your help with something."

......

When he strolled down to the building, stroking his chin, Gojo Satoru was standing in the middle of the street, hands in his pockets, head tilted, a bright smile on his face as he took a selfie.

His college coat was open, revealing a white shirt underneath, and the top two buttons were undone, making him look like he had just come from a party.

There were many knives stuck in the streets, sidewalks, and flower beds around him, and many of them emanated an aura of cursed power, clearly indicating that they were cursed tools.

A strangely dressed guy was unconscious, becoming the backdrop for his selfie.

Although it was the first time Tianyan had seen this uniform, he immediately realized that this was one of the members of the Q organization.

When Gojo Satoru heard footsteps, he turned around and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Tenyan.

"Yo! Tianyan!"

He strode over, arms outstretched, his smile as radiant as a blooming sunflower.

"Did you come to help me? I'm so touched! I'm deeply moved by your friendly support!"

Tianyan looked at him expressionlessly: "You don't seem to need any support at all."

"Of course!"

Gojo Satoru lowered his arms, put his hands back in his pockets, and raised his chin slightly, wearing a matter-of-fact expression: "I wouldn't even give a damn about a hundred of these small fry!"

He glanced at the scattered Q organization members on the ground, a disdainful smile curving his lips: "But speaking of which, this guy is too weak. He didn't even warm up properly, yet he claims to be the strongest. Is he lying to me? I hope there are stronger members among the Q organization."

Tian Yan followed his gaze for a moment, then looked away: "What about Xia Youjie?"

"Jay?"

Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "He should be almost done over there. There was a small fry upstairs, but he's probably already taken care of him. Hopefully, his cursed spirits didn't break him."

"Let me tell you!"

Gojo Satoru whispered mysteriously, "Most of his cursed spirits have tentacles, tentacles! Tentacles! Tentacles!"

Seeing Gojo Satoru's emphasizing expression, Tenen's lips twitched: "Most cursed spirits are composed of people's negative emotions, so it's perfectly normal for them to look strange. Aren't it normal for them to have some kind of tumor or tentacles?"

No, that's not it!

"I'm talking about percentages, and there are too many percentages!"

Then he started maliciously spreading rumors: "Let me tell you, someone as serious as Jay might actually enjoy some kind of perverted play in private!"

"I bet there are definitely tentacle play videos in his collection!"

Tianyan:......

"...Where did you get this ridiculous conclusion? From Galagame?"

Gojo Satoru waved his hand swiftly: "None of that matters! Just you wait and see, I'll reveal his privately treasured videos sooner or later!"

Tianyan: I don't really care that much...

He decisively changed the subject, pointing at the Q organization members: "Let's tie him up and hand him over to the assistant supervisors for custody. We should hurry up and meet up with Nanami Haibara and the others."

"So they were both here too! I'm truly touched!"

Gojo Satoru stretched, his joints making a crisp cracking sound: "Let's go, let's meet up first."

Tianyan nodded.

The two crossed the street and headed towards the building.
