Chapter 31, Chapter 12: Are you two robbers?

Now that they had caught the attention of Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki, Karin could rest assured about what would happen next.

If they still don't learn their lesson, then they really can't be carried!

Afterwards, the group concluded their Okinawa trip and headed to Ryusei Shrine.

Since they both sensed that something was amiss, after the bounty expired at 11 o'clock, Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suguru actually began to feel a little hopeful.

The five cats rubbed their hands together, eager to see who dared to scheme against them.

Arriving at the entrance of the Hongxing Palace, and seeing no one make a move, Xia Youjie began to wonder if they were overthinking things, or if the other side already knew they had no chance of winning and had given up.

Gojo Satoru became even more excited, convinced that some troublemakers were trying to harm him!

"No, my reasoning is definitely correct!" he said with absolute confidence. "That mastermind will definitely lie in wait until the very last moment, and ambush us when we are most relaxed! I'll catch him red-handed!"

Origami Karin remained silent for a moment.

On the one hand, she thought Gojo Satoru's enthusiasm was quite good, but on the other hand... she had a vague sense of foreboding.

So... although it was indeed Daddy who was behind this, if Gojo Satoru is always so confident in his reasoning, won't he start accusing people of trying to harm him all the time? And then go from one extreme to another?

"..."

What should she do? She felt that this possibility was quite high.

Forget it, this kind of thing... it's not really her business anyway, let Brother Jie and the others deal with it from now on.

──

Fushiguro Jinji did not disappoint Gojo Satoru's expectations in the end. Just as the group was about to enter the Ryousei-gu Shrine, he made his move. With lightning speed, he stabbed Gojo Satoru through the chest without anyone noticing.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't know where this person had come from, and how fast he was able to injure Gojo Satoru.

Karin was greatly shocked. She thought that Gojo Satoru should not be in the same state of exhaustion as in the original story, and he had been keeping a close watch on things. How could he have been stabbed?

Gojo Satoru was even more shocked, because he wasn't unaware of the danger; his boundless audacity was still on full display, and he was constantly using his six eyes to observe the surrounding situation, but he couldn't see this person at all!

After turning around, he understood.

"No magical power? Is it a curse from heaven?"

Xia Youjie asked with concern, "Wu! How are you?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just that I haven't been injured this badly in a long time, and I'm still not used to it," Gojo Satoru said, clutching his chest.

The reversal technique was activated, and the injuries were quickly healed.

Seeing this, Fuheishen couldn't help but click his tongue: "A reversal spell? It's really troublesome."

But...perfect. Fuheshchen was even more excited.

He stood not far away, his muscles radiating immense power, like a lion awakening. His powerful presence made it clear, even to those unfamiliar with him, that he was no ordinary person.

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Before Fushiguro Jin could answer, Oriyuki Karin, with her prepared lines, blurted out: "He looks just like Megumi-senpai!"

"Megumi?" Gojo Satoru looked at her in surprise. "Who?"

Fukushige also glanced at Shiki Karin.

Hui, he seemed to have heard Kong Shiyu mention this name just two days ago.

Who was it again?

Karin Oriyuki replied, "Fushiguro Megumi, the technique is the Ten Shadow Arts, and he is your student, Uncle Gojo. My mother said that you raised him, so he can be considered your adopted son, Uncle Gojo."

"The Zenin family's ten shadow magic techniques?" Gojo Satoru's eyebrows twitched strangely, then his eyes lit up. "Did I just steal the Zenin family's heir? As expected of me!"

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

No, I bought it.

However... it seems that Daddy was first sold to the Zenin family, and they had already received the money. Later, it was bought by Gojo Satoru.

She guessed that the Zen family probably didn't agree to sell people willingly...

Across from him, after hearing Karin Oriyuki put the surname Fukuro before Megumi, Fukuro suddenly remembered—oh right, it seems to be his son.

Did his son end up in the hands of the Gojo family's Six Eyes?

Gojo Satoru then remembered who Fushiguro Jinji was: "Zen-in... Zen-in... Ah, you are the Zen-in family's complete Ten-yu Ju-fu who was kicked out of the family! No wonder you have no curse power at all."

"It's not a Zen temple, it's Fuhei now." Fuhei Shen'er corrected him rather unhappily, but did not explain that he was not kicked out, but left the Zen temple after beating up a group of people.

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Fukuguro? Then my adopted son is your son?"

Xia Youjie and the others were speechless. Who talks like that? Asking someone's adopted son if he's their biological son in front of his own father.

"Ah." Fuhei Shen'er responded nonchalantly, took the ugly treasure out of his mouth, and while changing his weapon, he squinted and focused his gaze on Shiki Akahara.

"Hisato Ieiri, the son of the owner of the precious Reversal Technique at the High School, has traveled from the future."

Kong Shiyu provided very comprehensive information.

When Xia Youjie saw that he was eyeing Zhi Xueya Karin, he immediately became wary: "Hiri-kun, come to the back."

Even Yuki Ayaka couldn't figure out what her daddy was up to. For the sake of her life, she quickly ran behind Xia Youjie and stood with Tian Tian Lizi and the others.

Fushiguro Megumi was actually only somewhat satisfied with what she said—it was Fushiguro Megumi, not Zenin Megumi.

Her identity as a time traveler made this information sound even more appealing.

But that was all. He took the three-section staff [Youyun] from Choubao's mouth.

“The chat time is over,” he said, his gaze shifting to Gojo Satoru. “I have no interest in chatting with men.”

“Jay,” Gojo Satoru said, “you take Riko and the others to Lord Tengen first.”

Xia Youjie glanced at him and saw that apart from a tear in his clothes, he looked perfectly fine and there was nothing to worry about.

"Okay, then be careful."

Oriyuki Karin dared not join their battle and quickly followed them away.

But before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Gojo Satoru, "Uncle Gojo, could you please not kill him?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? He's after my life."

“But he’s Megumi’s father. Sukuna covets Megumi’s body. Megumi was even violated by Sukuna and almost died! He’s so powerful, we can ask him to help us deal with Sukuna! Maybe we can even ask him to help us on missions!” Oriyuki Karin deliberately spoke the middle few sentences very loudly, hoping that Fushiguro Jinji would grasp the key point.

Your son is about to be bullied! Did you hear me? Don't fight him here! Otherwise, your son will have no father to protect him when he's bullied in the future!

As for the last part about going on a mission, that was meant for Gojo Satoru.

We mustn't let such a valuable workforce slip away!

Gojo Satoru's focus was rather unique: "What does it mean to covet his body? How exactly does one covet it? Explain in detail. I'm very interested."

His gossipy expression clearly indicated that he wasn't thinking about anything serious.

Karin Origami muttered speechlessly, "Is that the point!?"

Gojo Satoru scoffed, "Fine, let's talk after we've finished fighting."

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Despite his antics, Gojo Satoru still grasped the point that Oriyuki Karin had made about finding someone to help with the mission, so the way he looked at Fushiguro Jinji had become the way a boss looks at a job applicant.

Fukuro Jin did indeed hear what Oriyuki Karin said, and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

Karin Origami didn't know if the two of them had actually listened to her, or how much of what she had listened to, but that was all she could do to help.

She's already tried her best; if it doesn't work, she can only lament her daddy's big breasts.

Hmm... She absolutely had no intention of coveting his pectoral muscles, absolutely not.

──

Karin Origami followed Natsumi and the others into the Hōsei Palace, but like Misato Kuroi, she did not go inside.

Tengen only allowed Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki to bring Tennatsu Riko in; she was not included.

After saying goodbye to Riko, Kuroi Misato cried sadly. Karin Oriyuki couldn't bear to see anyone cry, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, Kuroi-neechan. Uncle Natsuyu and Uncle Gojo have already discussed it. If Riko-neechan doesn't want to be assimilated, they won't force her."

Kuroi Misato paused, stopped sobbing, and looked at her: "R-really?"

Karin Oori nodded: "Of course it's true, the two of them discussed it right in front of me."

Moreover, in the original story, Xia Youjie originally intended to let Tian Lizi go, but her father shot her in the head.

So, compared to Riko, Karin Oriyuki is actually more interested in what's going on outside.

Did Gojo Satoru kill his father?

Sure enough, Xia Youjie came out again with Tian Lizi. The two girls, who had just separated and were reunited, hugged each other and cried their eyes out.

"Hey, I've already finished one match, and you guys aren't done yet, are you?" Gojo Satoru's nonchalant voice came from the other end of the passage.

Xia Youjie and Zhi Xueya Huali immediately looked over upon hearing the sound, and saw the old man walking over with an air of indifference. Apart from his slightly disheveled hair, he seemed to be no different from before.

"Did you resolve things on your end?" Xia Youjie asked.

"certainly."

Karin looked at him expectantly from the side, wondering if her daddy was still alive.

Gojo Satoru noticed her gaze: "Alright, I didn't kill him. I brought him back to you for the sake of my adopted son."

Xia Youjie was speechless: "Isn't he your adopted son?"

Gojo Satoru didn't care: "It's going to happen sooner or later. I'll just go and snatch them away after the mission is over!"

Xia Youjie suddenly remembered that when he and Gojo Satoru took Akari to see Shoko last year, she seemed to have asked them if they were trying to kidnap a minor.

Surely we can't really go and rob it this time, can we?

Karin Origami didn't pay attention to Gojo Satoru's snatching remarks. When she heard Gojo Satoru say that he had spared Fushiguro Jinji's life, she immediately smiled: "Yay! The pectoral muscles are still alive!"

Oops, I mean Daddy is still alive!

Perfect timing! Since this character is a mini-encyclopedia of historical events, let's tell them about Huihui's tragic experience. Our Fushiguro Urchin is a kid with a daddy's protection!

Although Fuheshchen's fatherly love is also quite Schrödinger's cat, cough...

Gojo Satoru casually tossed an ugly toy to Natsumi Yuuki: "Here, this looks pretty useful, I snatched it for you."

"Thanks." Xia Youjie took Chou Bao, rolled it into a ball and put it in his pocket. "But I'm also quite interested in the nunchaku he just picked up."

Gojo Satoru pointed outside: "How about we go and rob it again now? They shouldn't have gone far, maybe we can catch them?"

Xia Youjie hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

He seemed hesitant, but he was actually already tempted; otherwise, given Xia Youjie's personality, he would have said no directly.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Are you two robbers?
