Shu Yue found it amusing; Went was far too anxious about his daughter!
The next day, Shu Yue couldn't refuse her elder daughter's request and was dragged along to accompany Shu Bei to find a master. Shu An also joined them.
She asked curiously, "When did you two make this decision?"
Shu Bei glanced at her sister and said, "Mom, don't mind An An. She's just playing around. Yesterday she was talking about going to a matchmaking festival to look for males."
Shu Yue was surprised, "An An, really?"
Shu An nodded seriously, "Really, but I'm not playing around. Priests can have partners too, it's not a conflict."
Shu Yue didn't know what to say. If Went knew his second daughter was going to participate in a matchmaking event, he'd probably be furious...
She generally didn't oppose what her children wanted to do, as long as it wasn't too exaggerated or excessive. She gave them as much space as possible. She had thought about talking to them last night but then dismissed the idea.
The three of them arrived at the Priest Tower and went straight to Priest Wei's room.
When Priest Wei heard their intentions, there was no surprise in his eyes. He remained smiling, and after Shu Bei finished speaking, he said kindly, "Whether you can become a priest isn't up to me; it's up to the Beast God."
"However, I can test if you meet the conditions to become a priest. You two, come here."
Shu Bei and Shu An obediently stepped forward. The white-haired Priest Wei touched both their wrists, closed his eyes, and murmured something.
After about a minute, Priest Wei opened his eyes and asked, "Do you feel anything?"
Shu Bei and Shu An both shook their heads, "We don't feel anything."
Upon hearing this, Priest Wei said regretfully, "Then there's nothing that can be done. You cannot become priests; the Beast God has not given you any instructions."
The two girls: "..."
Shu Bei's small face fell, "How could this be? I really want to be a priest."
Priest Wei patted her head, "Little Bei, you are still young. You need to understand that not just anyone can be a priest. However, Little Bei, you are also amazing. I've been learning for over ten years, and I'm not as skilled in medicine as you are."
Shu Bei felt embarrassed by the praise, "Not at all, Grandma Wei, you're too modest. I'm still far from it!"
"I originally wanted to become your disciple, but now... alas, I'll visit you again another day."
Priest Wei watched them leave with a smile. Shu Yue, walking last, winked and smiled at the priest as her daughters walked out.
Old ginger is spicier. It's better to communicate with Grandma Wei about this matter; there's no need to involve the children.
After watching them leave, Priest Wei chuckled helplessly. These two girls were clearly not suited to be priests. That's why when Shu Yue came to find her last night, she was happy to cooperate. Interacting more with the children made her feel younger.
...
Shu An truly didn't care about not becoming a priest, but Shu Bei was clearly disheartened and listless on the way back.
Shu Yue comforted her, "Little Bei, contributing to Warrior City isn't only done by being a priest; doctors can do it too."
Shu Bei understood. It was just that if she couldn't become a priest, she wouldn't become the most powerful female in Warrior City. Her aunt was the most skilled in medicine, and Grandma Wei was the most skilled in sorcery. She wasn't excelling in either, alas!
"I know. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Mom, I'm going to the medical clinic." She changed direction as she spoke.
Shu Yue: "..." Fine, young people should strive for their hobbies and goals.
"An An, aren't you going?"
Shu An shook her head, "I'm not going. It's tiring to see patients every day. I just want to read and eat at home."
Shu Yue smiled, "That's a good hobby. Let's go home, Mom will read with you." If she were in modern times, Shu An might have become a writer in the future.
What a pity, now she's become a little foodie.
...
Shu Bei arrived at the medical clinic and immediately saw a black-haired youth squatting at the entrance. The youth, with a mischievous smile on his face, which was still somewhat childish, immediately changed his expression when he saw her.
"Sister Xiao Bei, you're a bit late today?" The youth was Long Rui. The reason he wasn't waiting at her doorstep was that he didn't want to get beaten.
As soon as Shu Bei saw him, she turned to leave. She was afraid of seeing him now.
Long Rui shamelessly chased after her, "Sister Xiao Bei, why do you run away when you see me? You're hurting me so much~"
He was blocked after a few steps. Shu Bei was very helpless, "Long Rui!"
"Long Rui, I've told you many times, I don't like males younger than me. Can you stop pestering me?"
Long Rui had heard this many times and didn't feel sad. His father had told him that to truly pursue a female, one must cling to her without leaving her side, making her accustomed to your presence, so she can't leave you later.
As for losing face? What face is there to lose in front of the female you like? This was A Man's exact words, and it was his successful experience.
Long Rui was a head taller than Shu Bei. Standing together, it was hard to tell who was older.
At this moment, Long Rui put his arm around Shu Bei's shoulder, his possessiveness quite evident, "Xiao Bei, don't look at my age. In other aspects, I'm not small at all. Why do you keep rejecting me?"
"Do you like that weakling Yi She?" When he mentioned Xiao Si, Long Rui's voice was filled with anger and a hint of jealousy, jealousy of the other's age.
If he were the same age as Xiao Si, Xiao Bei would have been his long ago!
Shu Bei batted away his unruly arm and said angrily, "Long Rui, stop bothering him, okay? I don't like you, and I don't like Xiao Si either. I hate seeing you two fight over me the most!"
Long Rui only focused on one point and said indignantly, "Isn't it normal for males to fight? Xiao Bei, why do you always defend that guy in front of me?"
Shu Bei: "..." Impossible to communicate. This immature guy, he couldn't be relied upon in the future!
Her face turned cold, "Long Rui, it's not that I'm defending him, it's that you always approach Xiao Si with prejudice. You always beat Xiao Si so badly. We are all good friends who play together, but you are so harsh only to Xiao Si, and I can't stand it, so I'm speaking up."
Long Rui couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, "Don't you know why I'm targeting Xiao Si? If you keep your distance from him, I'll never beat him again."
Hearing this, Shu Bei laughed in anger, "I'm not your possession. It's my freedom to be friends with whomever I choose, and you can't control it!"
"Long Rui, don't be so self-righteous... Mmph!"
Shu Bei's eyes widened. She had been forcibly kissed!
Long Rui kissed her fiercely. He glanced sideways at a disappearing figure before letting go, quickly pulling away to a safe distance and saying, "You are mine, and you can only be mine from now on. If I find any male daring to approach you, I'll beat him. You can't control who I beat!"
After saying that, he ran off, mainly fearing Shu Bei's scolding.
Enraged, Shu Bei stomped her feet in place, disgustedly wiping her mouth, "Long Rui! You stop right there!" Damn it, her first kiss!
Long Rui, you just wait. She'll have her brother beat him up!
