Hearing this, Wan'er looked a little surprised.
"Why do you want to take me as your master?"
It sounded like a meaningless, throwaway question, but it was truly what every teacher needed to know about their disciple.
People with pure intentions and people with ulterior motives always give vastly different answers to this.
Little Shu stammered, "I want to heal the sick and help people. A lot of good uncles in our village get hurt by those wild beasts from up the mountain, and aunties, grandpas, and grandmas fall ill with all sorts of strange diseases. Most times, nothing works, and they end up dying."
Upon hearing this, Wan'er smiled and asked, "Anything else?"
"Um... If Grandpa gets sick again in the future, I could be like Fairy Sister and heal him!"
"That's all?"
Little Shu was dumbfounded, thinking so hard her face turned red, but still came up empty. Finally, she lowered her head and muttered, "N...no, that's all."
