Ji Zi looked at her weak spiritual energy and sighed.
"It might be very difficult for you.”
If one's spiritual power was not enough, even if one wanted to be a Grim Reaper, it would not be easy to get into the Grim Reaper's school. Even if one got into the Grim Reaper's school, it was very likely that they would face the crisis of dropping out halfway. Even if they were lucky enough to pass the graduation examination, when it came time to join the 13th Guard Squad and face the Void, the weak would only be a burden. It would be difficult to even protect themselves, so how could they talk about fighting the enemy?
No one liked the weak. Once they were labeled as weak, they would never be recognized by their peers. They might even grow old in guilt and pain or even become depressed.
This was the logic of the adults. And the young man was never willing to succumb to a possible predicament.
"I understand. However, if he didn't try, there would be no hope. I will work harder!"
She raised her head stubbornly.
Something was shining in her eyes.
Ji Zi vaguely recalled that gaze. He seemed to have had it when he was young. However, walking out of the gorgeous coat called " self-esteem " was a hundred times more painful than he imagined.
It was precisely because of the pain that his desire to become stronger became even stronger.
"…Good luck then." Ji Zi no longer tried to dissuade her. Instead, he took off a leaf-shaped jade accessory from his hair bun and looked at it with nostalgia. However, after a moment, she resolutely stuffed it into Qiao's palm and slowly closed her fingers for her." This is my gift. Keep it well." If you run into any trouble in the future, take this to Captain Shiroya of the Sixth Division. He might be able to help you.”
Is the rotten wood white?
Joe stood rooted to the ground and blinked in surprise.
This was a completely unfamiliar name. For the past 40 years, she had always been by Ji Zi's side, but she had never seen such a captain called Shiroya visit the Aokami Izakaya. However, since Ji Zi had entrusted her to him, it meant that he was one of Ji Zi's most trusted people.
How could he trust someone whom he had not met for forty years so decisively…
Only then did she realize that despite living with him for so long, she knew nothing about his past.
"There's no need to be surprised. If you really intend to become the Grim Reaper, there are many things that are worthy of your surprise.”Ji Zi smiled." I'm going to get busy. I'll contact a regular at the izakaya and see if she can come over and be your temporary teacher. Since he was going to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability, right?”
Then, she stopped smiling and looked out the window. On the roof of the Jingling Palace opposite, the sunlight was being reflected, gentle and bright.
The girl felt the fighting spirit in her body begin to burn.
"Thank you! Miss Ji Zi! I will definitely do my best!" She quickly bowed and thanked him.
"Don't get agitated when you're in trouble. Learning to be calm is good for you and everyone else.”
"…Yes."
Although he used honorifics in etiquette, his tone was intimate.
Ji Zi still had something to say. She knew that a weak person who was constantly struggling could look down on the world after becoming a strong person. However, it was also possible for them to fall from the place where they towered into the clouds and be shattered into pieces.
If that day comes, I hope you can be stronger and not shatter like glass.
Just like her in the past.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Ahem…you want me to be your teacher?" Rippling Crane seemed to have heard something incredible, and almost choked to death on the mouthful of wine in his mouth.
"Yes, I am. Miss Zhibo is very experienced in training new people. In the early years, Zhenyang Spiritual Academy often spread your deeds. I think it is the most suitable for you to guide.”
Kong He, who was standing opposite her, enjoyed Ji Zi's praise and even showed a slightly embarrassed expression. She threw the bottle of wine in her hand backward, and Jin Yan, who was waiting, quickly reached out to catch it. Not a drop of wine leaked out. It seemed that he had long been used to his master's willfulness.
"Then, who is the student?"
In contrast to Kong He's high spirits, Ji Zi did not say a single word, but gently held the right shoulder of the girl beside him.
It was the figure of a person who wasn't suitable for battle. It was too weak and the spiritual pressure was pitifully low.
"Huh? This brat? Are you sure? Her spiritual power was not even comparable to that of an ordinary person!”
Wielding a pipe in one hand and the table in the other, Zhi Po and Kong He glanced at Jiu Nanqiao, who was sitting upright, and then at Ji Zi.
Kong He's choice of words made Joe raise his head reflexively. Only people who paid extremely little attention to their image would use such a vulgar term for children they met for the first time. From the moment her right foot stepped into the shop, Joe's intuition told him that this casually dressed lady in front of him was different from most of the customers.
"Yes, I am. That's why I need your help, Miss Zhibo.”Ji Zi's expression was calm.
" Erm, Miss Zhibo, I…" Qiao tried to introduce herself, but Kong He interrupted her.
"Wait, who is she? I think this face looks a little familiar.”
Shiwa Soratsuru was obviously a regular customer of Seigami Izakaya, but she hadn't come to pick up the wine in person for a long time. Every time, it was the uncle in charge of transporting the wine in the shop who sent it to her. The reason was that they needed carriages to transport them. Because of this, Kong He did not directly talk to Qiao.
However, Kong He still displayed an unusual vigilance.
" She's Jiu Nanqiao, whom I've mentioned before," Ji Zi explained." I adopted her before." It had been a long time since Ms. Zhibo had come to the shop in person, so she probably didn't know her.”
Kong He looked at Qiao carefully. The feeling of being scanned made Qiao feel a little scared. Although it was only for a short moment, there was too much disbelief in her eyes. Her burning gaze made Joe want to look away. Just when she thought Kong He was about to ask, he narrowed his eyes without saying a word.
"Hmm…"
Ji Zi realized that something was wrong and quickly probed,""Miss Zhibo?"
Kong He frowned again and was silent for a long time. He met her suspicious eyes and seemed to be hesitating whether to say a few words. After a long time, he slowly said,"Oh, his aptitude is too average, it's not easy…but our Zhibo family likes difficult things.”
Ji Zi knew that she had swallowed the words she wanted to say.
Even Ji Zi himself had doubts when he met this child. Only time could give an answer. They were all watching quietly.
"So?" Ji Zi asked with a smile.
"I can try." Kong He took a puff of her big pipe and blew out smoke rings.
Ji Zi had expected this answer and gave Xiao Zou a satisfied look. Xiao Zou, who was standing at the side, understood and quickly brought over a box of delicately packaged pastries with a smile.
"Then, I'll leave her to you, Miss Zhibo.”Ji Zi patted Qiao's head and said to Kong He," This is a thank you gift. It's your Vice-Captain Haiyan's favorite reed bread.”
" What? I'm the one who did the hard work, but you're giving Big Brother something…" Kong He laughed loudly." I understand. If I have the time, I'll let Big Brother see her aptitude."”
Zhibo Petrel, the vice-captain of the 13th Division, was deeply trusted by his superiors and loved by his subordinates. It was rumored that he had always had a unique hobby, which was to bring his subordinates to Liuhun Street for special training. The players and officials who came out from under him were all talented, and he was also praised for his ability to discover the talents of the younger generation.
The existence of the Grim Reaper itself had a very large limitation, because the existence of spiritual power was a huge and insurmountable gap. The lucky ones would reach the sky in a single step, while the unlucky ones would not be able to obtain spiritual power no matter how hard they tried. It was purely a fool's dream to become the Grim Reaper.
It was precisely because of this that basic aptitude was particularly important. Ji Zi wanted Haiyan to take care of her child, not to get help, but to consider her future carefully--whether she had the qualities of the Grim Reaper. Only after confirming this did she dare to let her child go out and make a living. After all, the Grim Reaper was not a job that was free of danger.
"Thank you very much. Don't get too excited and forget your manners, Joe.”Ji Zi winked at her and smiled.
She quickly nodded obediently.”
"Yeah, you can just call me Kong Hesang from now on. If too many of our family members are called Zhibo, you'll definitely faint.”Kong He elegantly picked up the pastry box and wine bottle." Then, please send the rest of the wine to my house, Miss Ji Zi!”
After sending off the imposing Zhi Po Kong He, Joe suddenly felt much more relaxed.
It was not just about his dreams, but also a little bit of hope for the future.
Her poor childhood had taught her to endure, but she had always been afraid of the boundless darkness. She was afraid that Ji Zi would suddenly abandon her one day and she would have nothing left.
If he could work hard in one direction, if he could have a power that was insignificant but could protect others, everything would be different.
She couldn't help but look forward to it.
