The eting lasts for seven days, during which mystic doctors from all over gather together. Although they are all doctors, where there are people, there are inevitably conflicts, so the authorities have scheduled a team to maintain order.
Luo Xudong applied for this task.
Beisitian didn’t plan to take him along, so he went by himself.
When Beisitian found out, she couldn’t help but laugh, but since it’s a task, they each do their job.
Beisitian only brought Tian Zhi with her; no one else from the Tian Family ca along. There was only one spot for them, which was taken by Tian Heming, who ca with his master, even though he is not a mystic doctor.
Tian Zhi drove very steadily, always staying below the minimum speed limit. Beisitian saw him gripping the steering wheel with both hands, staring straight ahead with a rather stiff and rigid look.
"You’ll never get a girlfriend like this!" Beisitian couldn’t help but tease.
"Master, could you please not talk?" Tian Zhi was very nervous, having had his license for just a year. Although he’s past the beginner stage officially, his actual driving skills were still that of a newbie.
Since they were not on the highway, he was even more nervous. Any mistake could cost two lives!
Seeing this, Beisitian held back her laughter, not daring to disturb him further. Noticing how tense he was, any sudden situation would certainly make him more anxious.
As she was thinking this, a sudden situation indeed occurred.
Tian Zhi held the steering wheel tightly. Being a beginner, he avoided the highway, but he still had to pass through villages below, where people were aplenty, so he was very focused.
While staring ahead, a little girl suddenly darted onto the road. Tian Zhi was startled and slamd on the brakes; luckily, his speed was slow, and he always held the wheel, preventing the car from flipping during the sudden stop.
Beisitian thanked the heavens—or rather, Luo Xudong for getting her into the habit of wearing a seatbelt—otherwise she would have lunged straight at the windshield!
Tian Zhi looked ahead at the little girl, panting heavily so thirty or forty ters away. Beisitian rolled her eyes, saying, "Quick reflexes you got there."
It was hard to tell if she was praising or mocking him, but Tian Zhi didn’t have the mind to mull it over.
Beisitian got out of the car. The little girl, about eight or nine years old, wore a pretty red puffer coat and red boots, with two horn-like braids and a puppy cradled in her arms, curiously eyeing the car.
"Are you okay?" Beisitian asked.
The little girl shook her head; the car wasn’t near enough to cause harm, but the big brother reacted really fast.
"Whose child are you?" Beisitian walked over to ask since she didn’t see any adults around.
The girl glanced back and said, "I got separated from my grandpa. Can you help ?"
The little girl, with her delicate features and eyes that seed to speak, had eyelashes long and curly, with a dimpled face that looked endearing.
"Where’s your grandpa? Do you have a phone number?" Beisitian asked.
The girl shook her head, took out an address from her pocket, and handed it to Beisitian, saying, "I need to go here, can you take part of the way?"
Beisitian glanced at it and laughed; it was exactly where they were headed. This little girl didn’t look like she was from the nearby villages. She must be brought by adults to attend the eting.
"Co on, get in. We’re going there too," Beisitian extended her hand.
The little girl seed surprised, "Wow, such coincidence. Are you going to the eting as well?"
She spoke but didn’t take Beisitian’s hand.
Beisitian chuckled; the girl was quite cautious.
"Yes, we’re mystic doctors."
Hearing the words ’mystic doctor’, the girl felt less suspicious; at least they weren’t kidnappers. She took Beisitian’s hand and got in the car with her.
Tian Zhi regained his composure, but drove with even more focus, while the girl giggled at him the whole way.
The girl’s na was Liu Yuzhu, eight and a half years old. She lost her way after playing in the vegetable field and ended up following the puppy she found.
"This little puppy and I are in the sa boat, must have lost its grandpa too," Liu Yuzhu said, stroking the puppy.
"Sister, why are there only the two of you?" Liu Yuzhu asked.
That was the reason she dared to get in the car—a brother so nervous driving, and a sister who seed kind-hearted, probably wouldn’t harm her.
"We’re a two-person faction, so we’re traveling together," Beisitian laughed.
Liu Yuzhu was montarily stunned, looking at them with so sympathy, "Just two people in your whole faction? That’s too pitiful. Why don’t I join you?"
Beisitian was amused by the girl’s innocence, "Yuzhu already has a family; how can you join another faction?"
The girl tilted her head thoughtfully and said, "Grandpa brought here to join another faction, so I think I can join sister’s faction."
At this, Beisitian realized that so smaller mystic families, especially those with scarce resources and difficult inheritance, take talented kids to big family factions during this ti. If they catch the eye, they could get accepted.
That way, no good talent is wasted, and when these kids grow up, they could help their original families flourish again.
The eting, therefore, was not just about exchanging mystic dical experiences, but also had unexpected aspects.
Beisitian earnestly looked at the little girl, realizing her spirit was indeed excellent, even more abundant than Tian Hao’s.
If nurtured well in the future, she shouldn’t be inferior to Wei Zhongxun.
Tian Zhi glanced at Beisitian in the rearview mirror, then quickly focused ahead, wondering if his master might take in a little junior sister.
Speaking of which, what about those three at ho? Their spirits are astonishingly monstrous!
Indeed, the spirits of those three little ones have already caught up with Tian Hao.
At less than half a year old, their spirits were so extraordinary; they truly are their master’s children!
"Sister, sister, let join?" Liu Yuzhu tugged at Beisitian’s arm.
Rather than join a faction full of arrogant people, she’d rather join this sister’s faction!
Liu Yuzhu’s innocent thought made Beisitian laugh, "We’ll have to ask your grandpa about that."
Liu Yuzhu pouted; if they ask grandpa, he surely wouldn’t agree!
