150 Are You a Troupe of Performers? (2/2)
Dou Fang Hai curiously looked at her before calling out. ”Pretty sister!”
The woman didn't react at first so he called out again.
”Pretty sister! What are you doing?”
The woman finally turned around and searched for where the voice was coming from until she finally saw the child hanging at the edge of the stage. Dou Fang Hai was barely tall enough to lift his nose above it.
”Eh? Where did you come from?” The woman walked over and crouched down next to him with a smile.
Dou Fang Hai smiled back. ”I'm living down the street. What are you doing? Are you a troop of performers? Do you dance?”
The woman's smile froze for a moment and she had to tell herself that this was just an ignorant child who didn't mean anything bad. ”No, we're from the Jin Shan Sect!” she proudly proclaimed but Dou Fang Hai just looked at her blankly. ”Uh … the sect on top of the mountain!” The woman pointed to the mountain that rose behind the Jin He City.
”Oh!” This time Dou Fang Hai understood what she was saying. ”So you're all immortals? Then did you come down to see the performers? Are they not here yet?”
The woman smiled wryly and reached over to pinch his cheeks. ”Are performers all you're thinking about? We've obviously come here to test if the children of your city are suitable to become our disciples.”
”So, we can become immortals?”
The woman hurriedly nodded. ”Of course! That's much better than performers, isn't it?”
Dou Fang Hai nodded. ”So I can also become an immortal?”
”Uh … Maybe? It depends on whether or not you have the talent.”
”How do I know that?” Dou Fang Hai's interest was successfully peaked. Becoming an immortal definitely sounded better than seeing performers.
After all, the performers that had come the last time had said that immortals would travel through the whole country and even go to the big, golden ocean. They could fly in the air on their swords and fight against scary monsters. This was so cool! He definitely wanted to become an immortal, too!
”You just have to take the test together with the other children later. Alright, I have to go and help the others now.”
Dou Fang Hai nodded and watched the woman hurry back to the two men. His clear eyes sparkled. He really, really, really wanted to become an immortal, too! Could they start the test yet?!]a
