Chapter 89, Section 3: Physiologically speaking, he is my father…

Mingming, who had been conjuring up all sorts of conspiracy theories in her mind, immediately had only one thought after hearing the words "hush money"—

"Hush money? How much?"

The child clearly didn't understand the concept of money and directly asked her, "How much do you want?"

"Should I quote a price myself?" Mingming smiled.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely have ripped them off, but Mingming felt that she might be able to get some interesting information out of them.

"Forget about the hush money, can you answer a few questions for me?"

Karin looked at her coldly, neither saying yes nor no.

This attitude probably meant tacit approval, or perhaps they wanted to hear the question first before considering whether to answer. Mingming simply asked, "May I ask, young master, what is your name?"

Mingming could see the other person frown slightly, then look at her with a questioning expression.

That expression... seemed to say: Are you kidding me?

Mingming: Hmm?

This expression seems quite fitting on Gojo Satoru, after all, the other party is a figure known throughout the entire jutsu world, and it can be assumed that everyone who sees him will recognize who he is, but the little boy in front of him...?

Before Ming could understand why the other person had such an expression, the "young master" spoke up: "Gojo... Akari."

Mingming couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to think it's strange that I don't know you?"

The young boy named Gojo Akari looked at him as if he were an idiot, and his tone was tinged with a natural arrogance: "Isn't that right? You're strange, Miss Mei."

"Really?" Mingming smiled. "Really? What's strange about it?"

"You've become weaker." The young boy's gaze seemed to pierce through to see into some core of her being.

He asked with some curiosity, "What is that? Is it about using magical power to return to the constraints of youth?"

Mingming: ?

She raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing something.

"Just asking, young master, do you know what year it is now?"

The young master looked at her with an even stranger expression, as if she were some kind of oddball.

"2028, isn't it?"

Hearing his answer, Mingming's smile widened even further.

A surprise awaits the young master ten years later.

Under the young master's calm gaze, she took out her phone and placed it in front of him. The current time was clearly displayed on it.

Then I watched as the young master's six eyes gradually widened and became perfectly round.

“2018…”

Despite not being shocked at all, Karin Oriyuki went all out, even turning to look at a passerby who happened to be walking by: "Excuse me, what year is it this year...?"

The passerby was a little surprised, but seeing how cute "he" was, he smiled and replied, "It's 2018 now, little friend."

silence.

He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Thank you."

Such a cold tone, if spoken by an adult, would only make the person seem cold and unapproachable. But when spoken by a child, it only makes them seem incredibly adorable, displaying such maturity for their age.

At least the passerby who was randomly stopped didn't seem displeased at all. Instead, he smiled at Mingming and praised, "Your son is so cute."

Clearly, their identical white hair led to misunderstandings about their relationship.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

“I am not her child,” she corrected herself.

Even though she knew she was cute.

The passerby glanced at her, then smiled knowingly at Mingming, with an expression that said, "That's just how kids are."

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

She watched the passerby walk away, speechless. Seeing "his" speechless expression, Mingming couldn't help but laugh.

Karin Origami turned to look at her, and Mingming made no attempt to suppress her smile, instead directly changing the subject: "So... young master, have you figured out the current situation?"

"Time travel. Don't worry, the Gojo family will be willing to pay." "He" seemed very confident about this, and did not show the slightest unease after learning that he had time traveled, remaining as calm as if he were simply going on a picnic.

Mingming smiled and said, "I know."

She had no doubt that the Gojo family would be willing to pay for Six Eyes in this parallel world. Not to mention the Gojo family's unconditional adoration for Six Eyes, Gojo Satoru alone, if he knew about this, would directly pay for all of Six Eyes' expenses.

She's now more curious about another question—

"A little inquiry reveals that your father—"

"Fivefold enlightenment—"

Her voice overlapped with that of Oriyuki Karin, and then the two of them fell silent.

Zhi Xueya Karin looked at her, seemingly indicating that she should speak first. Mingming shrugged: "Young Master, you should speak first."

Okiyuki Karin pursed her lips, her gaze shifting to the flowers and plants in the green belt beside her. She pretended to care but also acted as if she didn't care, and asked, "I need his information."

As for who this "he" is, it's quite obvious.

Mingming raised an eyebrow: "Sure, in exchange, I'd like to know about your background, is that alright?"

Karin Oriyuki added a condition: "I don't want anyone to know about my arrival for the time being."

Mingming, however, didn't care at all, her smile having a unique charm: "It's alright, as long as you're willing to step forward, young master, or after you leave, this news can still fetch a good price, right?"

The two then reached a deal, and Mingming took Shiki Ayaka to a very private coffee shop.

When ordering, she asked Karin Ooyuki with a smile, "What would you like, young master? Milk?"

Zhi Xueya Karin stared at the menu for a long time. She recognized all the dishes, but pretended to be a sheltered young lady who had never seen the outside world. After a while, she opened her mouth and ordered several dishes that looked like they would be sweet based on their names—even though she knew they were not sweet at all and were actually quite bitter.

Judging from her order preferences, Mingming roughly understood that this was a sheltered young master, just like Gojo Satoru back then.

She simply smiled and recommended a few other options to Karin Ooyuki, saying, "If you like sweets, you can try these. If I remember correctly, Gojo Satoru also likes these. You two have the same taste."

Ayaka Shiki fell silent, and finally gave a dry explanation: "The Six-Eyed Eyes are very mentally taxing and require a lot of sugar intake."

This seems like an explanation, but it's more of a cover-up than an explanation.

Mingming smiled with her eyes narrowed. In her mind, she had probably already labeled this young master with two tags: one was "hypocritical" and the other was "very close to Gojo Satoru".

The latter had already confirmed it on the street: the first question the young master asked after realizing he had transmigrated was about Gojo Satoru. This made Mingming even more curious about the relationship between the two.

"So... I guess you wouldn't like someone who drags things out and talks a lot of nonsense, right?" she said with a smile, changing the subject.

Ayaka Oriyuki's expression was as calm as frost and snow, devoid of any emotion: "What do you want to ask?"

"Young Master, your background... is that alright?"

While it's possible that the other person is close to Gojo Satoru, we'll have to wait for their reply to find out the specifics.

Karin Oriyuki's eyes didn't seem to change much, and her tone was the same: "Just like you thought. Physiologically speaking, Satoru Gojo is my father."

Mingming immediately grasped the key phrase: "Physiologically?"

"I've answered one of your questions, now it's your turn."

Mingming smiled, pursing her lips: "What would you like to ask, young master?"

The young master's expression looked somewhat unnatural, as if he was struggling to decide what to ask.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "How is the Gojo family doing now?"

She vaguely guessed that "he" wanted to ask Gojo Satoru, but... she was very tactful and didn't point it out.

"The Gojo family is quite powerful. Although Gojo and Natsuyu are sometimes a bit unreliable, they are the strongest in the world of jutsu. Otsuko and Fushiguro are also completely on their side. In terms of strength, they can easily overturn the table, so the Directorate General doesn't dare to provoke them. The Gojo family is naturally very powerful."

"Oh right, you should know who I'm talking about, right? Xia Youjie, Yigu Youtai, and Fuheishen'er."

Mingming noticed that the "young master" frowned slightly after hearing her words, and there was some surprise in his expression.

She smiled and said, "I guess this is different from the past you know?"

The children who traveled through time in previous generations have been watching over us, and naturally they all know that there are some differences between their world and ours.

Karin Origami glanced at her and asked, "Have other people traveled here before?"

Although the "young master" is secluded in his chambers, he is not stupid at all.

Mingming mimicked his previous way of speaking: "That's another issue."

The young master pursed his lips and went back to answer the question Mingming had asked earlier: "When I was born, my father had already passed away for more than three years."

His expression was calm, as if he were telling someone else's story.

Mingming understood; it seemed that this young master was created by the Gojo family after Gojo Satoru's death.

She also answered Ayakari Oori's question: "Those who have traveled to this world before include Ayakari Natsuyu, Hiri Ieiri, Akari Fushiguro, Kuri Otoko, and Seirin Itadori. I don't think I need to introduce them one by one?"

Karin Origami nodded calmly.

Mingming then asked her next question: "Would you mind if I asked about your birth method?"

The news that a six-eyed creature could be recreated would be something the Gojo family would definitely pay a high price for.

"I don't know." Karin Oriyuki gave a vague answer, which was also consistent with her character.

Mingming had a rough idea of ​​what was going on; it probably wasn't a normal method.

Such things can be done in private, but they would be strictly kept secret in public, especially in front of this young master.

However... the truth will eventually come out.

"Do you have any guesses?" she asked with a smile.

Karin remained silent, merely staring at her coldly with displeasure.

Knowing he wouldn't get an answer, Mingming smiled, changed the subject, and asked about other things.

The two thus completed an exchange of information that satisfied both of them.

Mingming was satisfied because she had learned some valuable information from Zhiyuki Akahara, which meant she could make another profit.

As for Yuki Aka, she was naturally not interested in the information that Mingming had already known, but she was satisfied that she had told Mingming the current settings very smoothly and reasonably, which would save her a lot of trouble later!

After that, Mingming did indeed lend her a sum of money.

She wasn't worried at all that this young master from a parallel world wouldn't be able to pay it back, since the Gojo family would always help cover the bill.

Even if things don't go perfectly, Gojo Satoru will still pay the bill.

She knew that the other party had wanted to have a daughter for a long time.

Hmm... Although the one in front of me looks like a son, isn't he quite cute?

Perhaps because she is still quite young, the child's facial features are still very soft, and her voice is also very sweet and gentle, making her seem more like a girl than a boy.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person had a cold expression and was wearing a men's kimono, one might easily mistake them for a girl.

"By the way, young master, is your situation a secret from Gojo Satoru?" Mingming put his wallet back, pressed one corner of it to his lips, and asked with a meaningful smile.

Karin Origami pursed her lips in silence, then nodded finally: "You'll get the hush money later."

Mingming's smile widened: "Then thank you very much, young master."
