Chapter 232 See you again at Gojo Kyukaedein

Gojo Satoru did not carry out the death penalty as promised. He waved his hand and said lightly: "I respect Hisahito's idea, but Hisahito does not have to rush to make a decision - we still have a long time."

"Is there still time?" Yuji Itadori was slightly stunned and said hesitantly, "But the senior manager who came to see me before said that he observed that my cursed power has been unstable. Sukuna, who has accumulated the power of 18 fingers, may come out and start killing at any time."

"The cursed energy is unstable? I can't see it." Gojo Satoru put one hand on his chin, "Do you believe them, or do you believe me?" He moved closer, and his sunglasses slid down to reveal his bright blue eyes behind them, "Hmm? Hisahito?"

——Recently, Gojo Satoru has been choosing to wear sunglasses instead of an eye patch because he drives a lot on the road these days, and sunglasses make it more convenient for him to give a cool and reliable eye attack at any time.

In response to Gojo Satoru's question, Yuji Itadori replied subconsciously: "I believe in Gojo Sensei."

"Very good, very good, that's right." Gojo Satoru raised his hand and patted Itadori Yuji a few times. "Your great and handsome teacher Gojo said the truth. Those rotten oranges are just monsters speaking. Don't pay attention to their alarmist remarks. The real judge is standing in front of you. I have the final say on when and how to execute it."

"Um……"

"I agree with Mr. Gojo on this point." Xianxiang, who had been silent, finally spoke up. "It's not your fault that you are carrying this burden. We can work together to find a solution. As for Sukuna, he is just one of the many cursed spirits. There is no need to deal with him so hastily."

In this world, Yuji Itadori did not experience the Shibuya Incident, nor did he face the tragedy of being annihilated in the Sukuna realm. His mental state is actually relatively stable.

So, after hearing this, he no longer insisted on asking Gojo Satoru to carry out the execution now. After hesitating, he replied, "Okay. If there is still time, then wait a little longer."

Then, he smiled brightly again, his voice was as clear as a high school boy's, and his golden orange eyes sparkled like gems:

"I can continue to teach Fushiguro and Kugizaki how to make meatballs! And I also need to prepare Christmas gifts for everyone in the second half of the year, sort out letters, etc...."

"So, Yuuji still has a lot of things to do~ Go get busy." Gojo Satoru nudged him lightly, grinning and saying, "Gather up everything the higher-ups have said to you and throw it into the trash can. If you keep your brain full of things without nutrition, you'll become stupid. Yuuji is going to become a fool, and he's going to fail the exams this semester--"

"Eh?! Gojo-sensei, please don't curse me——"

The atmosphere returned to normal, and his bloated expression visibly relaxed. He exhaled, no longer tensing up as he faced Gojo Satoru.

It was time for the class to end, and Yuji Itadori came out to chat with Gojo Satoru. However, the next period of field training was about to begin.

The cherry-pink-haired boy hurriedly said goodbye to Gojo Satoru and rushed to the playground to meet his classmates.

Zhang Xiang was in no hurry to leave. He stood there, silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Are the two missing fingers with you?"

"..." Gojo Satoru said leisurely, not rushing to reveal the answer, "Why do you ask that?"

"I don't know much about you, but Hisahito told me a lot about you." Xuanxiang said slowly, "Hisahito said that you are the best teacher he has ever met."

“Wow, I’m really touched.” Gojo Satoru made an exaggerated expression as if wiping away tears. “I actually received such a high evaluation. I am worthy of being the best spicy teacher!”

Guan Xiang paused for a moment, then said, "I don't think you are the kind of person who would let students go to death. Because you once said that depriving young people of their youth is the most unjust thing."

"I don't mean to pry into your secrets. I just want to say that if the remaining two fingers are really in your place, please keep them safe. At least, wait until Yuhito finishes what he has not done and eliminates his regrets."

"There is no such thing as a sorcerer dying without regrets." Gojo Satoru continued, "No matter when, there will be no such thing as death without regrets."

"but……"

"So, the best thing is to try to stay alive. Only the living have the chance to eliminate regrets. If you die, you will have nothing." Gojo Satoru turned his face slightly and smiled. His blue eyes were filled with a kind of confident calmness. "——Don't worry, we will win."

"..." When Xiang noticed that the other party said "we" instead of "I", he was slightly stunned.

He was not sure whether the "we" referred to him and the other party, or someone else.

But no matter what, he could feel at ease when he heard the attitude in Gojo Satoru's words.

——

Jiang Lai returned to the technical high school wearing a sheepskin vest and went to report his safety to Nanami Kento who happened to be in the school.

The reliable adult still remembers Qishan’s live broadcast incident. He wanted to say something but stopped, and looked at the brown-haired boy’s happy smile. In the end, he still did not make any adjustments to the money-making operation.

He just said casually: "Still be careful. Be careful that someone may seek revenge on you in private."

"Don't worry, Nanami." The little sheep Jiang Lai patted his chest and replied confidently, "Who am I? I am the evil dragon who defends money and wealth. No one can rob me."

"If someone comes, I will grab the money. Why not take the wallet that is delivered to my door? And since the other party was the first to attack, it is not too much for me to charge some mental damages."

Nanami Kento: “…”

It sounds wrong, but it also seems reasonable.jpg

The blond man rubbed his temples and finally said, "Be careful."

After returning to technical high school, Jiang Lai put down his backpack and quietly sorted out his next plans in the room.

The first and most important thing is to collect information about the function of the [Positive and Negative] Tower from Gojo Kukaedein.

Because Gojo Kyukazein sometimes goes out to purchase and search for ancient books, he is not at Gojo's house every night.

Therefore, Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru did not rush to the Gojo family, but waited for two days until the Gojo family's monthly family meeting before taking action.

Unlike other families, the Gojo family's monthly family meetings do not have a fixed date. Instead, the chief elder will choose an auspicious date in advance and decide on a specific day for the meeting.

The family meeting was held two days after Jiang Lai and Gojo Satoru returned to Tokyo. The meeting was also held at the Tokyo residence.

As the head of the Gojo family, Gojo Satoru has to go back to preside over the meeting. Of course, Gojo Satoru is not a person who follows the rules. He attends family meetings according to his mood and time.

However, other people do not have the capital to be as willful as Gojo Satoru. Moreover, in order to control the family, the elders will naturally not miss such an opportunity to fight for their power in the meeting.

Although Gojo Kyufuin had no intention of fighting for power, his image in the family had always been low-key, friendly and gentle, so he would attend every meeting, as gentle as jade and as quiet as an orchid.

Therefore, Gojo Satoru and Jiang Lai set the time of the plan on the day of the Gojo family's monthly family meeting - this day can ensure that Gojo Jiufengyuan is in the family and the trip will not be in vain.

If it is done right the first time, any surprises can be avoided. After all, there are many eyes of the regulatory agency in Gojoya.

Two days later, the Gojo family meeting was held, and Gojo Satoru returned to the Gojo family to attend the meeting.

Jiang Laiqie changed back to his original form. The Gojo family barrier was ineffective against him, so he could sneak into the Gojo family directly and quietly.

It was a fine day today, with a cloudless night sky and the stars above brightly lit, surrounding the moon.

Jiang Lai did not go straight in through the main gate, he chose a location behind the mountain.

I don't know how long the meeting will last, so to be on the safe side, let's wait until late at night to go there and look for Gojo Hisakazuin.

Jiang Lai thought about it and laughed at himself. Now he really became a night raider. He always visited the Zenin family and the Gojo family late at night.

At this moment, he was leisurely strolling on the hill behind the Gojo family.

The vegetation here is lush, and tender buds in early spring are sprouting from the soil and branches, with new life emerging from the tips of the buds.

The night breeze was cool, and in the distance, Jiang Lai saw the Gojo family's shrine.

The patterned canvas hanging outside swayed in the wind, and the sound of small bronze bells tinkling faintly came from the inner hall.

Jiang Lai walked to the front of the shrine, his brown eyes fixed on the mysterious building of Gojo Family, his gaze looking into the distance.

The last time he stood here was at the beginning of Yesterday. He met the young Gojo Satoru at this shrine.

At that time, Gojo Satoru was still a precocious child with a sullen face all day long, with delicate features, rich clothes, short stature but full of imposing manner, and his words sounded like flying ice and snow.

In the blink of an eye, he has grown up.

But this character...has developed rapidly in another direction. I guess none of Wu's students know how cold and arrogant he was when he was a child.

Recalling the past and remembering the present, Jiang Lai's eyebrows smiled and he felt extremely relaxed.

He let go of the pressure he had been carrying for so long, and involuntarily relaxed his mind, bathing in the natural surroundings under the starry sky.

That was why Jiang Lai was delayed for a second before he sensed someone approaching.

...There are still people coming to the shrine so late?!

He was surprised for a second, but his actions were not slow. After he reacted, he immediately turned around, ready to fight or retreat, staring straight at the person who came!

Walking along the road was a long-haired man wearing family totem clothing. He had his black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, and his narrow, light blue eyes were shining.

——It’s Gojo Hisakazuin!

Did they finish the meeting? Or did Gojo Kyukaede cancel the meeting midway?

Gojo Kyufuin glanced at Jiang Lai and showed some surprise, but soon turned it into a gentle smile: "Good evening. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"..." Jiang Lai did not answer, but just nodded slightly in response.

His eyes fell on the object in Gojo Kyufuin's hand and noticed that the other party brought a few inconspicuous incense sticks.

...Is this person here to worship at Gojo Family Shrine? Who are they worshipping?
