The location of the small town of Kadori is quite remote.

Not only was the mountain road winding and difficult to navigate, but it was also extremely muddy, probably because it had rained some time ago. The Hummer felt like it was crawling through a swamp.

Along the way, the convoy struggled to drive through bends and swollen mountain streams. The road became narrower as it went deeper into the mountains. Fortunately, there was not much debris on the road, and it was obvious that vehicles still passed by frequently.

"This place is too remote. The road will probably be even more difficult to walk on after dark."

Gojo Lin frowned. Mochizuki Ruri had lived in the Gojo family since she was very young. She grew up almost together with the Gojo of this generation, and they had a good relationship with each other.

"Miss Liuli, the convoy behind us will probably take a while. Let's go there first. You can settle down and have a good night's rest."

Her tone is gentle, like that of a gentle and considerate older sister. Apart from the occasional antics and sarcasm to liven up the atmosphere, she is quite reliable at other times.

“Sometimes I feel like Lin is like a sister.”

Liuli looked at the scene outside through the car window and said softly.

Along the way, forests, mountains, lakes and sky flashed before her eyes, quickly replacing the quaint Japanese-style houses and the monotonous courtyards and distant mountains.

Perhaps sensing her novel mood, Gojo Lin deliberately slowed down her driving, which was why they arrived later than scheduled.

"Haha..." Gojo Lin laughed twice, "Fortunately, Master Wu is not here, otherwise he would probably destroy me humanely."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"It's much more exaggerated than that." Gojo Rin said with false pretense, "Ming accepted your thank-you gift before, but was transferred by Lord Wu to a mission abroad."

"If there weren't any cursed spirits in outer space, I'd be worried that Master Wu would stuff him into a spaceship and launch him off."

Liuli turned her head and looked forward, frowning unconsciously, "This is a bit too much."

Gojo Satoru is the future head of the Gojo family. If he doesn't want to be just a mascot, he must learn how to use people.

Which ones can actually get things done? Which ones are eyesores in the family but can disgust others if they are released? Which ones need to be punished...

If he threw the person out directly, it would not only affect the tribe members' impression of him, but also have a bad impact on Mochizuki Liuli, and would affect her own ecological environment in the Gojo family.

"Not really. Lord Wu has thought it over carefully." Gojo Rin quickly helped explain.

"Ming's mission location is Hawaii. There aren't many cursed spirits in the United States. The highest is only level two or three..."

"He now lives an extremely boring life every day. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, the most common thing he does is help the beautiful girls in bikinis on the beach apply sunscreen."

"Everyone envied him."

There was a hint of longing in Gojo Lin's tone when he spoke. It was obvious that he was a member of that big family.

"Ah this..."

Liuli was speechless for a moment. It seemed that Gojo Satoru had really grown a lot.

"Master Wu is growing up very quickly."

As if she could see what Liuli was thinking, Gojo Lin said with a smile, "Love turns boys into men and turns women into girls. The ancients were right."

"Which ancient person said this? It feels very modern." Liuli complained about her.

"My ex-boyfriend." Gojo Lin laughed heartily. "He just passed away last week."

They both laughed in the car, and both looked a lot more relaxed.

"Miss Liuli."

Gojo Rin's expression turned serious, "Actually, I wanted to tell you that Master Wu really likes you."

Liuli was silent for a moment, then nodded gently after a while, "I know."

"But that's not what I'm talking about."

She changed the subject and whispered, "He likes you because you are so good and deserve to be liked by everyone, including Master Wu."

Liuli was stunned.

"So, you don't have to feel too stressed. Lord Wu and the Gojo family are always behind you."

"I wish you good luck and hope you will be safe and happy in the future."

By the time they finished speaking, they had already arrived at their destination.

"The Kadori Shrine only offers short-term accommodation, but we've hired professional construction workers to renovate and expand the shrine so it can serve as your residence."

"Before this, we rented a house from a mountain villager. We'd like to ask you to stay here for a while."

The Hummer stopped in front of a house, and Gojo Lin explained in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the construction team is following the convoy. The shrine will be fully repaired before the second batch of supplies arrives."

"There's a second batch of supplies?"

"In fact, there are four more batches of supplies that will be delivered one after another."

“Is the Gojo family going to carry out rural revitalization here?”

"No, I just want you to be comfortable. Four years is a long time."

While talking, Gojo Lin came down to help Liuli open the car door. She never looked at the middle-aged man and the young man standing at the door of the house, but just frowned and looked at the muddy ground.

Mochizuki Liuli was wearing white high-heeled boots.

If you go straight down, your shoes will definitely get dirty.

Liuli didn't think too much about it. After she walked out, she subconsciously looked straight ahead. The houses were built with gray-white stone slabs, and the walls were covered with ivy, which looked quite wild.

The man standing in front of the house was a typical mountain dweller. He had a decent appearance, but his cheeks were sunken and the areas around his deep blue eyes were slightly darkened. One could tell at a glance that he was a long-term alcoholic.

The man had a flattering expression on his face and was not at all angry at Gojo Yan's disregard. When he noticed Liuli's gaze, he quickly put on an exaggerated smile.

Next to him stood a boy of thirteen or fourteen... a girl...

He should be a young boy, handsome to the point of being beautiful, with an indescribable timidity in his eyes.

Gojo Lin noticed Liuli's gaze and looked over, saying a little displeasedly, "Why is there a boy?"

The young man couldn't help but tremble when he heard her speak. The middle-aged man next to him hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the young man with a fierce expression.

"It's ok."

Before the man could say anything, Liuli said to Gojo Lin, "I won't be staying here for long anyway. Besides, someone has to help me make the bed and tidy up my things."

She said confidently, "At home, these things are done by maids. I don't know how to do them."

Gojo Lin looked at the boy who was obviously relieved, nodded and said nothing more. The fierce expression on the man's face seamlessly turned into flattery. He loudly scolded the boy next to him,

"Young girl, why don't you go get the young lady's luggage?"

This name made Liuli stunned. The memories hidden deep in her mind stirred for a moment, then quickly subsided.

"What's wrong?" Gojo Lin looked over sharply.

"Nothing, I just thought the name sounded familiar." Liuli replied.
