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

After Riko finished explaining, she noticed that everyone's attention was on the photos Gojo Satoru had taken, not on her. She became furious and embarrassed, yelling, "Listen carefully to me!"

Gojo Satoru mimicked Tennatsu Riko's tone: "That kind of way of speaking will definitely get you no friends!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Xia Youjie echoed in the same tone: "Then we can send her away without any worries!"

"I speak normally at school!"

Riko, annoyed and embarrassed, shouted loudly, then suddenly remembered something and asked Misato Kuroi, "Kuroi! What time is it?!"

Misato Kuroi understood what she meant and hesitated slightly: "It's still morning, but as expected, school is still..."

"Enough with the nagging! I said I'm going to school, and that means I'm going!"

Then, in a flurry of activity, they prepared to go find their schoolbags and pack.

"ha?"

A question mark popped up above Gojo Satoru's head: "Normally, we should go to the vocational high school first! What the hell is this 'going to school'?!"

Tenyan remembered what Yagami Masamichi had told him on the phone and stopped Gojo Satoru, who was about to capture Tennatsu Riko, saying, "Don't rush."

"When I arrived, Ms. Nightmoth told me something. Lord Tengen specifically instructed that if Riko Tenchi has any requests, all her wishes must be fulfilled before the delivery is completed."

Gojo Satoru scoffed, "So what? You're just letting her go to school?"

"From a mission perspective, going to school increases the risk."

Xia Youjie's voice was calm: "But from the perspective of carrying out Lord Tianyuan's instructions, we have no reason to refuse."

"Tch, they're really spoiling this brat!"

"Don't say that, Wu."

Xia Youjie lowered his voice: "Although she said that, after assimilation, she will become the foundation of the barrier at the lowest level of the high school as the Lord of Tianyuan."

"I will never see my friends and family again."

"Let her be a little willful."

Gojo Satoru clicked his tongue, put his hands behind his head, and looked up at the ceiling: "Fine, fine, I'll go then."

Tianyan turned around and looked at Tianlizi, who was packing her schoolbag.

"How about this?" Tianyan said, his voice not loud, but everyone in the room looked at him.

"The four of you go to the school to guard against the Q organization, and I'll go check on the Panxing Sect."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Gojo Satoru tilted his head, his azure eyes behind his sunglasses narrowing slightly: "You alone? Although the Panxing Cult is not a group of sorcerers, it's hard to say whether they have curse masters backing them up."

Haibara Yu raised his hand, his face showing obvious worry: "Senior Tenyan, do you really not need to bring another person? Nanami and I can go with you."

"Need not."

Tianyan glanced at him and smiled gently: "You're going to the school with us. Security there can't be relaxed. Although a number of people from the Q organization have been dealt with, no one knows if there are any remnants left."

Haibara Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Nanami Kento reached out and pressed down on his shoulder.

His gaze fell on Tianyan, and he nodded slightly without saying anything, but the meaning in his eyes was clear: be careful.

Haibara Yu glanced at Nanami, then at Tenen, and finally swallowed the words he was about to say, nodding vigorously.

"Besides, I'm not without support; I called Senior Sister Mingming."

"She's already headed towards the Panxing Sect; we'll meet her there."

Xia Youjie frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on Tian Yan's face for a moment.

A few seconds later, he nodded, a gentle smile curving his lips: "Since Senior Sister Mingming is here, there shouldn't be any problems."

With his hands in his pockets, Gojo Satoru tilted his head and looked at Tenen, a slow smile curving his lips: "Alright, it's settled then."

He paused, then held up a finger and pointed in the air: "But Tianyan, if the Panxing Sect encounters anything they can't handle, remember to call for help!"

Tianyan glanced at him, then nodded: "No problem, I'll run away if things go wrong, don't worry."

"Without hesitation! But..."

Gojo Satoru gave a thumbs up: "That was definitely the right choice!"

Xia Youjie nodded, then stood up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, and walked to Tian Tian Li Zi's side: "Tian Tian, ​​are you ready?"

Riko slung her backpack over her shoulder, gripped the straps with both hands, and raised her chin slightly: "I was ready a long time ago, you guys were just too slow."

Xia Youjie smiled but didn't reply.

Misato Kuroi stood half a step behind Riko Tenten, carrying a large handbag. She still looked a little nervous, but much better than before.

Her gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Tianyan, and she bowed slightly: "Mr. Tianyan, please be careful."

Tianyan nodded without saying anything more.

The group walked out of the room and down the corridor toward the stairwell. Tianyan was at the back and stopped when they reached the stairwell.

Gojo Satoru walked in front, went down a few steps, and noticed that there were fewer footsteps behind him, so he turned around and looked back.

Tianyan stood at the top of the stairs, hands in his pockets, expression calm.

"What's wrong?" Gojo asked.

Tianyan didn't answer, but simply shook his head slightly, indicating that they should go first.

The group continued down the stairs, their footsteps growing fainter and fainter until they disappeared around the corner of the stairwell.

Tianyan stood at the top of the stairs, listening to the footsteps slowly fade away, and then took out his phone from his pocket.

The screen was lit, and an unread message lay in his inbox. He opened it; it was from Mingming, containing only one line of text.

"It's been released."

Tianyan put his phone back in his pocket and turned to walk towards the other end of the corridor.

……

When Gojo Satoru and his group walked out of the building, the sun was shining warmly.

The monitoring vehicle was parked on the side of the road, its engine already running, and a faint white exhaust fumes were billowing from its exhaust pipe.

Gojo Satoru opened the back door and casually sat down, crossing his long legs at will.

Xia Youjie sat on the other side, with an upright posture and a gentle expression. Tian Lizi was sandwiched between the two of them. Wu Jiao Wu and Xia Youjie were still intentionally squeezing into the middle. Kuroi Misato sat in the passenger seat. The car slowly drove into the street.

Haibara Yu and Nanami Kento sat in the back car, and the two cars drove one after the other towards the school.

The journey was uneventful; it seemed that the Q organization had truly been wiped out. There were no suspicious figures on the streets, and no residual curse energy fluctuations in the air.

Gojo Satoru leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, his six eyes half-open, everything within a radius of several kilometers appearing and disappearing in his consciousness.

There was nothing unusual, no hostility, nothing at all.

"boring."

He muttered something, shifted his position, and turned his face toward the car window.

Xia Youjie glanced at him, said nothing, and focused his gaze on the rapidly receding street scene outside the window.

When the car stopped at the school gate, sunlight streamed through the tall camphor trees on campus, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone path.

The teaching building stood there quietly, with the occasional bird song coming from the direction of the playground, and the whole campus had a kind of secluded tranquility.

Riko jumped off the car, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and took a deep breath: "Ah, the smell of school."

Her lips curved into a smile, her eyes brightened, and she finally looked like a girl her age should.

Standing behind her, Misato Kuroi watched her joyful figure and a smile crept onto her face.

Gojo Satoru got out of the car, hands in his pockets, tilted his head and sized up Tennuri Riko: "She's definitely not normal, she actually likes going to school?!"

Xia Youjie closed the car door, walked to his side, and lowered his voice: "Wu, watch your words."
