"No, no, today is probably not suitable. I have something to do after school."
Chongzong pretended to be ignorant and didn't respond to the class teacher's gaze, looking out the window pretending nothing happened.
He already had a plan in mind.
After school, he would go to the commercial street in Sichuan River Town to meet this so-called "Heitian" and figure out who this person really is.
Encountering such a situation just after school had started, if this issue wasn't resolved today, who knows what kind of bizarre situations might arise later on.
Taking the initiative is Chongzong's usual way of dealing with enemies lurking in the shadows.
He must turn from passive to active.
And that's exactly what he did.
After the opening ceremony, Chongzong was ready to slip away.
But he had a problem to solve.
"Chongzong, shall we go find Yuki and Mizuo together and then go home?" (Sugi Yui)
"Um, how can I sneak away by myself without letting Sister Yui know?"
This had been a tricky problem Chongzong had been thinking about, but he couldn't find a solution.
At this moment, just when he had the opportunity to escape, Sugi Yui accurately pinpointed Chongzong's location and appeared in front of him.
Now Chongzong had no way to escape.
This wasn't because Chongzong was arrogant and thought that Sugi Yui couldn't help.
He was considering what the situation was on-site. Only by going there would he know. If an unfavorable situation arose, he could find a way to escape, but if Sister Yui was caught by the enemy, the situation would become very dire.
So he wanted to act independently.
But now, this idea was no longer feasible.
The timing was crucial, and if he delayed further, once the information was passed on to their leader by those two thugs and they were prepared, he would miss the opportunity to strike first.
Thinking of this, Chongzong took a deep breath, then explained the situation to Sugi Yui in detail.
"So, do you plan to go directly to find this Heitian and ask for clarity?" (Sugi Yui)
Sugi Yui listened intently to Chongzong's statement, seeming disapproving of his idea.
"Yes." (Chongzong)
Chongzong nodded slightly.
"Going unprepared like this, what if something unexpected happens, what would you do?" (Sugi Yui)
"It's okay, I won't rashly start a conflict." (Chongzong)
"No, what if you make a mistake?" (Sugi Yui)
"I will first gather information, and if things look bad, I'll withdraw immediately. I won't make a mistake." (Chongzong)
"I understand that, what I'm asking is, what if you do make a mistake?" (Sugi Yui)
Chongzong was still trying to persuade Sugi Yui, but it had no effect.
Because the most crucial point couldn't convince Usugi Yui: Chongzong couldn't provide an absolute guarantee of safety. But time was slipping away, and there was no more time to dilly-dally here. Just at that moment, Chongzong suddenly had a realization. He realized he shouldn't dwell on not making mistakes, but rather should openly accept that such a situation could occur. And then provide a solution. This was also the dilemma of Usugi Yui. "Yui, if I make a mistake, you can save me." (Chongzong) After seeing the light, Chongzong's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree transformation, leaving Usugi Yui momentarily stunned. "Right, so I should go with you," Usugi Yui replied. "No, that's not it. I have a better plan." (Chongzong) With a sly smile, Chongzong shared his ideas with Usugi Yui. After pondering for a moment, Usugi Yui was convinced by Chongzong and adopted his plan, watching him leave on his own.
