Shi Lang told Shi Wei about his views, and the two discussed them. They did not argue but shared their views on pursuing strength. Shi Lang said, "Xiao Wei, I may be twenty years old in this world, but I was already an old man in the lower realms. Throughout my life, I only pursued strength because I knew there were some people I needed to defend and care for."
Shi Wei understood his words and could not say anything after this. She was young but knew she was striving to support her family so they could live well.
Thinking about something, Shi Wei said, "Big brother, maybe you should apply for a post in the Imperial government."
Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "Why do you say so?"
Shi Wei replied, "The exposure you will get there is better than in the city. Even if you becometh city hall, you will have to heed the calls from a court official. However, once you become a court official, you will have the chance to climb higher."
