Chapter 314: I’m Willing to Go to the Military Department
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 emerge. "There are still two months until school starts. I can’t let all this time go to waste."
"You happen to have some free time lately, and I want to continue training my spiritual power."
’Something 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 time!"
"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 moment, then asked, "You didn’t just wake up, did you? You just got back."
"Were you out yesterday?"
Mo Si affirmed 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 means everyone was overthinking things."
"And if you do..."
"If I do, what then?"
"The Military Department will extend a special recruitment offer for you to become 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 time is right, the Military Department will protect you completely. You can attend school without any worries."
It was as if he had already arranged everything perfectly the moment he started talking.
For some reason, looking at him gave Jiang Qiuqiu a sudden urge to ask, "In that case, will the Military Department require me to enlist after I graduate?"
"They won’t. The Military Department 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 mentioned a few more Military Department regulations. The bottom line was that they would offer protection without infringing upon Jiang Qiuqiu’s freedom. There would be requirements, 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 seemed as immovable as a mountain, possessing a natural, convincing charisma.
Jiang Qiuqiu watched him, thinking. ’This plan is so thorough, it must involve multiple departments. To be able to make this promise, he must have been in meetings 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 seemed she had been staring at him like this for quite some time.
And when he met 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 Department?"
"I am!" Jiang Qiuqiu agreed without hesitation.
