Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t try to hide the reason she was here.
"My spiritual power has recovered a lot recently." She gestured to herself, then let a small, delicate tendril of spiritual power erge. "There are still two months until school starts. I can’t let all this ti go to waste."
"You happen to have so free ti lately, and I want to continue training my spiritual power."
’Sothing like that just happened yesterday, and today the little girl is already at my door, eager to train...’
"I’ve told you not to put so much pressure on yourself." Mo Si felt like he’d been sighing more and more often lately. "You’re still little."
"...I’m not little!" Jiang Qiuqiu brandished her fist. "Stop saying I’m little all the ti!"
"You’re still young, then." Mo Si had Jiang Qiuqiu sit down first, then he dropped a bombshell. "Qiuqiu, you went to the rescue center yesterday to deliver food, right?"
"Yeah, I did."
"In that case, can you continue providing them with food for a while?"
"Why are you suddenly so interested in this?" The question was too pointed. Jiang Qiuqiu stared at Mo Si for a mont, then asked, "You didn’t just wake up, did you? You just got back."
"Were you out yesterday?"
Mo Si affird with a hum. "I went to take care of a few things."
’He always manages to make these things sound so trivial.’
"Having an ability is a good thing." Mo Si wasn’t the type to beat around the bush. Since he’d brought it up, he decided to lay everything out on the table. "I know what you’re worried about."
"Theoretically, the people at the rescue center wouldn’t lie, but we can’t rule out the possibility that it’s a delusion born from desperation, like a drowning man clutching at straws. First, we need to confirm whether you actually have this ability or not."
"If you don’t, then it just ans everyone was overthinking things."
"And if you do..."
"If I do, what then?"
"The Military Departnt will extend a special recruitnt offer for you to beco a Gene Healer for retired military personnel. You’ll be able to maintain your freedom. They will seal your file, classify this information, and until the ti is right, the Military Departnt will protect you completely. You can attend school without any worries."
It was as if he had already arranged everything perfectly the mont he started talking.
For so reason, looking at him gave Jiang Qiuqiu a sudden urge to ask, "In that case, will the Military Departnt require to enlist after I graduate?"
"They won’t. The Military Departnt doesn’t force anyone to enlist. However, they might request that you use your ability to treat certain individuals. For the most part, they will prioritize your interests."
Mo Si ntioned a few more Military Departnt regulations. The bottom line was that they would offer protection without infringing upon Jiang Qiuqiu’s freedom. There would be requirents, but they wouldn’t try to control her as a person.
He didn’t exactly have the face of a steady, reliable man—he had doe eyes and fair skin, after all. But as he sat there speaking, he seed as immovable as a mountain, possessing a natural, convincing charisma.
Jiang Qiuqiu watched him, thinking. ’This plan is so thorough, it must involve multiple departnts. To be able to make this promise, he must have been in etings last night, right?’
She observed him closely and noticed that while his face showed no fatigue, the whites of his eyes were much more bloodshot.
’He...’
After Mo Si finished explaining, he noticed the young woman before him was watching him with a scorching intensity. A clearly visible fervor shone in her limpid pupils. It seed she had been staring at him like this for quite so ti.
And when he t her gaze, she didn’t flinch or look away in the slightest.
"..."
Mo Si was the first to break eye contact. He asked, "So that’s the situation. Are you willing to accept the olive branch from the Military Departnt?"
"I am!" Jiang Qiuqiu agreed without hesitation.
