After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

That night.

They lived in a huge Japanese-style courtyard, mainly because Draco and the others had never seen this style before and were a little curious.

The starry sky at night is beautiful. Everyone sat in a row under the corridor and looked up at the night sky.

"What is Riko's dream?"

Geto Suguru suddenly asked while staring at the starry sky above his head.

"Huh? Is it time for a heart-to-heart talk so suddenly? And I'm not familiar with you guys yet, so don't call me Xiao Lizi, weird bangs!" Lizi was asked unexpectedly, and she was a little flustered and confused.

"As for my dream..." she said calmly after a moment's silence. "Of course, it's to become one with Master Tianyuan. Hehe, when that happens, you'll all have to respectfully address me as Master Tianyuan."

She pretended to be cheerful, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"It's the kind of dream you had as a child, like becoming a teacher? A doctor or something like that." Gojo Satoru rarely stopped acting weird and just sat there quietly.

"Hmm... oh yes, I want to be a musician! Playing the violin freely on the streets of Vienna. Many people will stop for me. They will listen with a smile, and give me warm applause after I finish a song. And then, I will be like this."

Suddenly, Tenriko stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard. Her movements were light and graceful, like a fluttering butterfly. She gently lifted the hem of her nonexistent skirt and saluted in the direction of Geto Suguru and the others.

When she looked up, her face was filled with a bright smile, as dazzling as a flower in full bloom in spring. However, a closer look revealed that her eyes were slightly red, as if hiding endless sadness and sorrow.

"Perhaps a musician who also loves music will join me while I'm playing. We may have never met before, but we will smile at each other and play the same piece of music."

Her voice was soft and melodious, like a gentle breeze brushing past her ears. She closed her eyes and lost herself in her own beautiful fantasy. In that world, she fully enjoyed the joy and freedom brought by music, no longer troubled by any worries.

"Here you go." Draco suddenly handed over a violin. "I think such a beautiful scene would be a shame without a solo performance by the famous musician Miss Tenriko."

Tenriko looked at him in surprise, then looked at the exquisite violin in his hand. A feeling of emotion and joy welled up in her heart.

She gently picked up the violin, feeling its texture and temperature. She took a deep breath and began to tune the strings, preparing to play.

When the first note sounded, the whole atmosphere became peaceful and beautiful. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in the world of music, letting her fingertips dance on the strings, expressing her deepest emotions through the melody.

Everyone quietly watched her performance.

As the music progressed, each note was filled with power and emotion. Tenriko's fingers danced nimbly, like a spirit, conveying the beautiful music to everyone's ears.

After the performance, Tenriko said nothing. She stood quietly and bowed deeply to them. However, her bent back did not straighten up for a long time, as if time had stopped.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly asked loudly. His six eyes allowed him to see more than ordinary people: "In that case, how about Riko going to Austria?" His voice resounded throughout the room with determination.

Upon hearing this question, Tenriko looked up in astonishment at Gojo Satoru. Her eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and tears streamed down her cheeks, revealing the pain and confusion in her heart.

"But, Master Tianyuan..." Tenriko said softly, her voice trembling slightly. She bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress her emotions.

She knew very well that if she chose to merge, she might lose herself, but she was willing to pay any price so that Lord Tianyuan could continue to exist in human form.

Master Tianyuan needs the astral plasma to achieve reincarnation in order to maintain his existence as a human. Without the astral plasma, Master Tianyuan will transcend humanity and enter a higher realm due to the natural evolution of the technique.

In order to maintain the barrier and order, Tian Yuan has been using astral plasma to reset herself and prevent her own evolution. This is a great mission and a responsibility she shoulders.

"Don't worry about that old immortal. You are not the only one with the Star Plasma Body. You are just a bait to attract people's attention." Xia Yujie smiled sarcastically.

"Just tell me what you really think." Everyone looked at Nakano with encouragement, including the ignorant Megumi Fushiguro and Misato Kuroi, who had some doubts but still hoped that Nakano would be alive.

Gojo Satoru and the others saw the information that showed that Tengen was not harmed at all after Tennariko's death, and they understood everything: including themselves, they were all just bait to deceive others.

They might not be able to save the Astral Plasma that was being controlled and placed in the hands of some rotten orange, but they would never sit idly by while someone in front of them asked for help.

That's right, save those innocent people crying for help, save the world... Geto Suguru lowered his eyes, slightly stunned. He had made up his mind, and it wouldn't waver. The world wasn't black and white, and people couldn't be simply categorized as strong or weak. The so-called protection of the weak was often just empty talk, empty rhetoric.

"I... I want to stay with you all longer!" Riko couldn't contain her excitement any longer and sobbed. The haze that had been accumulating in her heart seemed to be gradually dissipating.

She raised her head, her eyes firm and full of hope. "I want to go to Austria, study music, perform in the Golden Hall, and become a world-famous musician!"

"Then go ahead. Sister Riko, when you have your performance, be sure to invite us." Draco encouraged with a smile.

--------------------------------------

Summer nights are always quite hot and stuffy, so after letting themselves go completely, Riko and the others chatted and played for a while before moving indoors.

Everyone sat down on the tatami without any image, and the air conditioner blew away the heat brought by playing.

"Big brother, thank you for taking me out today." Megumi Fushiguro thanked Draco earnestly. "Actually, you don't know my dad, do you?" Although he was young, perhaps because he had more experience, he had a vague understanding of his father's work.

His father went out early and came back late every day. When he came back occasionally, he still had a smell that made Hui feel terrified. Sometimes, that smell was as pungent as the smell left after fireworks.

Hui had met his father's friend before, or at least he thought that person was his father's friend - Uncle Kong Shiyu.

But now looking at these older brothers in front of her, Hui felt that they didn't seem to know her father.

Because Dad is completely different from these older brothers. Dad always seems depressed, gloomy, and even a little dangerous; while these older brothers are so sunny, cheerful, and gentle. Can two people like this really be friends?

However, Megumi Fushiguro didn't want to go home. So when Draco suggested taking him to find his father, perhaps because of Draco's smile, or perhaps because of his inner secret expectation, he chose to leave with Draco and the others.

He didn't know how to face his new home. Perhaps his father had grown tired of him, felt he was a burden and no longer needed him. After all, this time his father had been gone for longer than ever before.

"We should say that we know Fushiguro Shinobu, but your father just doesn't know us." Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head, and looked at Fushiguro Megumi lazily.

Fushiguro Megumi frowned. "Are you trying to capture me to threaten my father? Does he owe you money? Or has he cheated on you?"

"Pfft!" Tenriko on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“…” Gojo Satoru’s mouth twitched, and a disgusting expression appeared on his face, as if he had eaten canned herring raw.

Fushiguro Megumi keenly noticed that Gojo Satoru seemed to have ill intentions towards Fushiguro Jin, and she couldn't help but feel alert.

Gojo Satoru glared at Fushiguro Megumi, then revealed a sinister smile: "Hey kid, you've been kidnapped by us, be careful what you say, or we might kill you."

Fushiguro Megumi looked at Gojo Satoru expressionlessly: "Then go ahead and kill me. Dad won't come to save me."

"..." Gojo Satoru choked for a moment, and the expression on his face became a little complicated.

Fushiguro Megumi's words surprised him. He didn't expect that this three-year-old child could be so calm.

"Little boy, don't listen to the nonsense of this white-haired bastard. Even though they don't look like good people, they wouldn't go so far as to attack a child like you." Tennenori patted Fushiguro Megumi's head gently, trying to comfort him.

She muttered to herself, how come this child, at such a young age, speaks like a little adult? It makes people feel both adorable and distressed.

"Why does Megumi feel that her father won't come to save her?" Geto Suguru vaguely sketched out the image of Megumi Fushiguro from those spoilers. Has this child been pessimistic since childhood?

"Because... if I don't tell you, he won't come anyway." Megumi Fushiguro said after a moment of silence.

"Dad will come." Draco said to Fushiguro Megumi seriously. "Because Megumi is a blessing from God."

"Really?" Megumi Fushiguro was a little at a loss.

"Well, that's what Hui's mother said." Draco glanced through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the courtyard where they had just been.

There was no one in sight, but... Draco smiled slightly.
