Families with many children started to become more and more eager.
Especially the family with only daughters, they pushed their girls to the front: "Daoist Master, there's no distinction between males and females for Daoist disciples, right?"
Wu Chenzi smiled: "Indeed, there is no distinction between males and females. What gender difference could there be in front of the Patriarch?"
This statement excited the villagers even more.
Keeping a daughter at home was inherently not very useful; even if she grew up for a bridal price, it was uncertain whether she could fetch a tael of silver. They were considered a loss, while only sons were the workforce to support the family.
Now, as long as they were chosen by Bi Xia Temple, they would receive a tael of silver as a severance fee—that was truly wonderful!
