Noticing the slight abnormality of the person behind him, Hai Yan stopped helplessly.
"What's wrong?"
He did not expect her to respond so quickly this time."No, it's nothing. I've troubled you.”
Her tone was as familiar as if she had apologized to people countless times. Hai Yan looked at her with obvious suspicion, but she did not find anything suspicious. Therefore, he could only turn around and continue walking forward.
"The rain suddenly became much heavier." In order to find a topic to talk about, Hai Yan wiped away the raindrops on her face and complained half-truthfully.
"Yes, I am." The other party's reply was as stiff as usual. Those who didn't know would definitely mistake them for strangers.
Oh no, the atmosphere seemed to have fallen silent again. Haiyan, who always boasted that she had no lack of lines, felt a little headache. She began to talk about her life ideals.
"Jiu Nan, why do you want to become the Grim Reaper?”
Joe was stumped by this question even though he knew that the other party was just looking for a topic to talk about.
"Why? Hmm, it was probably…to find out the truth about her sister's disappearance back then and…to become stronger?”The other party pondered over it again and again, and only gave this standard answer according to his previous thoughts.
After taking a few steps as if nothing had happened, Hai Yan turned around and looked at her deeply."This might not be enough.”
She knew that her spiritual power was mediocre and her aptitude was not outstanding. In terms of physical skills, she would not have much achievement in a short period of time. Therefore, she was not upset that she was rashly pointed out by the senior. She only seized the opportunity to humbly ask for advice."What does Lord Petrel think I should do?”
It was a difficult problem. This was the first thought that came to Hai Yan's mind. However, it was better to leave it to others to extinguish the enthusiasm of the newcomers. He did not want to be a bad person now.
"Whether or not your reasons can support your determination…is entirely up to you.”
After a moment of contemplation, he said.
"Eh?" She didn't quite understand what he was saying, and her eyes darted around in circles.
"If it's just like what you said, in order to find the truth and become stronger, the motivation is ultimately limited. However, if one's desire to become stronger surpassed the reason itself, it would really make one stronger.”Haiyan's words seemed to be beating around the bush." Other than willpower, you might as well search for the real reason why you want to become the Grim Reaper in the next few years.”
The things that were missing would be found one day.
This way, at least in the end, when faced with a dilemma, he would not regret what he had done.
"The real…reason why I want to become the Grim Reaper?”
She repeated this sentence unconsciously, trying to understand the mystery behind it, but she felt more and more confused.
"There's no need to rush. Let's patiently build a good foundation for now. There's still a long time in the future.”When Hai Yan saw this, she smiled comfortingly." Even if you don't want to, you'll find it eventually. The reason why you want to stay in the Jingling Palace."
"Yes."
She smiled lightly and forced herself not to worry too much about the future. However, on second thought, she became uneasy because of new confusion.
"Then, why did Lord Petrel become the Grim Reaper?”
Her question made Hai Yan slightly stunned, and the nostalgia in the corner of her eyes bloomed briefly and clearly. The past events swept over like a tidal wave, and the rain in front of him was exactly such a realistic portrait. Hai Yan scratched the tip of her nose and looked at the umbrella tip above her head. After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth and said,
"Well…I probably didn't want to waste my talent.”
"…Eh?"
Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Hai Yan couldn't help but laugh and added embarrassedly,""It has nothing to do with being arrogant. It's just that someone once reprimanded me like this, saying that I didn't know how to cherish my talent. I held back my anger and fought with all my might.”
She somewhat understood Haiyan's feelings, but she didn't seem to understand. She bit her lower lip and thought carefully, but she couldn't find a suitable answer.
"What a…special reason.”
"That's right, it's indeed a very unambitious reason, hahaha.”Haiyan happily continued walking forward, turned around and said to her," But that guy is really…more talented than me, but in the end, she didn't even have the chance to realize her talent.”
At times like this, girls were always more sensitive."Is it the person you said looked like me?”
Due to his shock, the petrel stepped into a puddle of water, completely unaware of it.
"Yes, a little close, but not really.”Haiyan was amazed by the other party's intuition, and her tone unconsciously became much closer." The drama of the heavens being jealous of talents will always repeat itself. Perhaps, our future is the same.”
“……”
Joe didn't know how to continue this subtle conversation, so he simply kept quiet. Haiyan thought that she didn't understand and smiled to smooth things over. The two of them gradually walked to the main road of Runlin 'an. They were very close to the Green Izakaya. The heavy rain that was originally washing the sky also gradually calmed down during this conversation. When she saw the lady waiting at the door from afar, the rain had mostly stopped, and Haiyan left with a peace of mind.
What a…strange person.
This was her first impression of the sea swallow.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
One month later, in the early morning at Qingshang Izakaya.
It was rare for the summer air to be so cool. Xiao Zou quickly moved the wooden board in front of the shop and was immediately attracted by the comfortable breeze outside. The continuous rain from a few days ago had just ended, and the izakaya's business was booming again. The young lady had hired a few new helpers to replace Qiao's vacancy so that she could devote herself to training.
In a sense, Xiao Zou was envious of Qiao. Because Xiao Zou did not have spiritual power, he could not enter the world of Death that was higher than the Runlin 'an they were in.
However, she still felt that she was already very happy.
At the very least, he would have the chance to accompany her more often and not have to go home once every few months after entering the Jingling Pavilion. Thinking of this, her mood was even better than the cool breeze outside the door.
As he took a deep breath, the first guest walked over from not far away. It was the famous beauty of the Tenth Division, Matsumoto Chaos Chrysanthemum.
"Ah, good morning, Miss Luan Ju!”Xiao Zou bent down." Are you here to buy wine again today?”
Luan Ju looked sleepy as if she had just woken up."I guess so. Is Miss Ji Zi here?”
"I'm here."
Ji Zi's voice came from inside the door. Luan Ju looked closely and saw Ji Zi wearing an indigo kimono. He was shaking an exquisite wine bottle in his hand and smiling at her.
"Yo!" Luan Ju raised her right hand and said," Long time no see.”
"I only saw him last month. Miss Luan Ju skipped work again? This is not a good habit." Ji Zi teased." Did we screw Captain over this time?”
" Our captain, Yixin Zhibo, is not reliable at all. He's still relying on the vice-captain to keep up appearances. I wonder when he'll grow up…" Luan Ju pretended to be sad as she held her chin." Sigh…"
"Why did you come alone today?" Ji Zi asked.”
"Ah, I just wanted to bring something back to drink. It's not easy to expose the fact that I skipped work by hiding in the office.”Luan Ju openly revealed her little secret, completely unconcerned that someone would rat her out." Give me ten pots…mm, twenty pots!”
While they were chatting, a long-haired girl ran out of the house and rushed to the courtyard. She greeted them simply,"Good morning, Miss Ji Zi, Xiao Zou, Miss Luan Ju!”
"Oh, isn't this Jiu Nan? Why are you in such a hurry?”Luan Ju looked at her with a puzzled expression, as well as the bandages on her body. She was instantly stunned." Wow, what happened to your injuries? Who bullied you?"
" She's been training with Miss Konghe at Zhibo's house recently," Ji Zi explained. You've suffered a lot."
"Special training?"
Luan Ju muttered, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. She was very clear about the financial situation of Captain Zhi Bo Yixin. It was not easy for the head of the branch family of a down-and-out family to just maintain the family's livelihood. He was considered to have a share of the family's property. How could he casually accept people of unknown origins to cause trouble in his family? However, the teacher this time was actually Kong He, who was barely considered to be of the same generation as her... Tsk tsk...
"Captain Zhibo doesn't usually go home, so I haven't seen her yet. If this child wanted to be the Grim Reaper, he might be Miss Luan Ju's descendant in the future. It was not a bad thing to get familiar with him first.”
Ji Zi smiled.
"Please guide me." Joe immediately bowed." Miss Luan Ju.”
"Become the Grim Reaper? You?" Luan Ju endured it and didn't let her dream go to waste. However, with this child's spiritual power, even if she was lucky enough to pass the entrance exam, she might not be able to last until graduation and join the team. If she was injured or disabled, she would be burdened for the rest of her life.”
"Thank you, Miss Luan Ju, but I will not give up!”
Unexpectedly, the child's face revealed an unprecedented and moving smile.
She had never seen such a bright smile before. Ever since she was a child, she had been saved by Silver in the harsh winter that was enough to kill her life. She had her own birthday for the first time, and she had been abandoned for the first time. She had grown up following his unreachable back. Along the way, many years had passed. Unfortunately, even though it seemed to be a blissful moment, she could not see such an expression on the faces of others.
Luan Ju felt that she was a little moved by this dazzling expression. She swallowed the words that she wanted to persuade her to give up and finally replied with an affirmative expression,"Okay, good luck. I'm waiting for you in court to help me write the documents!”
" That's the main purpose, isn't it…" Xiao Zou complained.
"No matter what, just work hard.”Ji Zi adjusted Qiao's bangs, his tone full of concern.
She nodded desperately.
If everything went well, she hoped to be able to take the exam during the Zhenyang Spiritual Academy's enrollment next spring, and then enter the place that was still an illusion to her. Lady Petrel was right. The reason for her recent progress should be found through repeated trials. One day, she would definitely understand why she was born and why she used her power.
She believed him.
