However, what made Kirito curious was what Nichang wanted to do. Kirito looked at Nichang in confusion. At this time, not only was Kirito puzzled, even Nichang's father was also looking at Nichang in confusion. He thought to himself, "What does Nichang want to do? Didn't we agree to let this man leave as soon as he can? If he doesn't want to leave, we'll force him to stay away from our house."
Although Nichang felt a little pressure and guilty when he saw his father's puzzled eyes, he still stared straight into his father's eyes and shook his head. Then he said to Kirito, "You're too weak now. I've asked Wu 'er to put the medicine you want in your room. You can go back first."
“
At first, Kirito was confused, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on. Kirito thought about it. According to his current physical condition, he couldn't stand any torment at all. Since Nichang asked him to go back, he must be able to deal with this matter. Moreover, it was inconvenient for the father and daughter to talk if he stayed here, so Kirito thought that he should go back first.
Kirito nodded to Nichang and then turned to Nichang's father, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm a little weak today. When I'm a little better, I'll go find you in person."
Kirito's successive actions and tone left a good impression on Nichang's father. Nichang's father was curious about what his daughter wanted to say to him, so he didn't deliberately ask Kirito to stay. He just told Kirito to go back and rest more and pay attention to his own safety. Then he let Kirito go back.
Nichang and his father watched Kirito limp out of sight. After hearing the door close, Nichang's father knelt on the ground and made a pot of tea. This was their family's rule. Once they had a formal discussion, they had to make a pot of tea. Therefore, during the process, Nichang didn't say anything. He quietly waited for his father to finish making the tea. At the same time, he was thinking about how to change his father's mind.
Nichang knew that although his father was old, age didn't make him less intelligent. Instead, it made him wiser and wiser.
Nichang's father also poured a cup of tea for himself and Nichang. Nichang knew that his father was waiting for him to explain why he had stopped him from talking just now. Nichang decided to tell his father the truth. Nichang knew that in this family, the one who understood her the most was not her mother, but her father. Her father knew everything that she had done since she was a child.
However, his father had always used his own way to make Nichang different from other girls. This was something that Nichang was proud of, but also something that hurt Nichang. She had the ambition of a man, but as a woman, there were many things that she couldn't achieve. Therefore, this time, she decided to go on an adventure with Kirito. It wasn't a spur of the moment idea, but something that she had thought about for a long time. She wanted to make herself better.
After Nichang finished talking about all her thoughts and understanding about Kirito, she told her father everything that she wanted to go on an adventure with Kirito. Nichang's father fell into deep thought. Nichang looked at his father in deep thought. Nichang was a little nervous. She knew that her decision was a little hasty. She even reached an agreement with Kirito without discussing it with her parents.
However, Nichang didn't want to be an armchair strategist. Although her family was rich now and she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, this wasn't the life that Nichang wanted. Nichang longed to know about the adventure in the underworld and the different ways of doing business. She wanted to do what the books said. It was better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Therefore, Nichang had to go on an adventure.
However, Nichang didn't know whether her father would agree. Nichang knew that her one-sided words couldn't persuade her father to make a decision. But her father must have been shaken and had just left a good impression on Kirito. Otherwise, her father wouldn't have hesitated and directly refused.
After a long time, Nichang's father said to Nichang, "Nichang, I'm old. I admit that I'm not as quick-witted as you in many things, and I'm not as pioneering as you are in your career. I'm very pleased that you have such an idea. You're just like me when I was a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of tigers and was determined to make a name for myself in the underworld. But I hope that you can understand the pains of a father. You're my eldest daughter."
Nichang's father paused and then said, "You're just like me in many things. I understand your feelings. But do you know what kind of person Kirito is?
You trusted him just because of some small things and decided to go with him to make a name for yourself in the underworld. I won't stop you, but I want to have a good talk with Kirito and test him. You're not allowed to interfere. If he passes my test, I'll agree to your request. "
Nichang was happy and nervous at the same time. She was happy that her father had agreed so easily. Her wish to go out and have a look might come true. But Nichang was also very nervous. After all, she didn't know much about Kirito. Could Kirito really pass her father's test?
Nichang was a little doubtful, but she shook her head. Since she trusted Kirito, she shouldn't doubt him.
Nichang said seriously to her father, "Father, don't doubt people you use, and don't use people you don't trust. Since I've decided to trust Kirito, this person has gained my approval. So, I believe that if I don't interfere with your test, Kirito will definitely gain your approval."
Nichang's father also looked at Nichang, "Well, you're really my daughter. I also promise you that if Kirito passes my test, I won't stop you."
Nichang and her father hit it off. After the two of them agreed, they went back to their rooms to rest early.
Before going to bed, Nichang went to Kirito's room. As someone who used to take care of Kirito, she forgot to bring Kirito food today. So, Nichang had to make some simple food and told Kirito where to take a bath. She also found a wooden bucket for Kirito, because Kirito said that he wanted to take a medicinal bath to speed up the treatment of his body.
Nichang didn't reveal anything about her agreement with her father to Kirito. Just like Nichang said, don't doubt people you use, and don't use people you don't trust. So, Nichang really believed that Kirito would definitely pass her father's test. Moreover, Nichang was also a person who was willing to accept defeat. Even if she lost the bet with her father, she wouldn't go into danger herself, but Nichang didn't want to lose her moral standing.
So, Nichang decided to completely ignore these matters. After delivering the medicine to Kirito, she went back to have a good sleep. As for Kirito, after he limped back, he didn't want to hear the conversation between Nichang and her father, so he didn't know about the bet at all. So, after he finished the food that Nichang gave him, he prepared to start combing his veins.
