Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 167 Jiude's Changing Mindset (Please Subscribe!)

The treatment Lucy received was indeed enviable, but Moon didn't need to explain anything, and no one dared to question him. Even if they did, it would be useless. Moon just smiled and didn't answer.

Thanks to Moon's efficient work, the book signing event was quickly concluded successfully.

His ever-present professional smile and his signing arm, as strong as steel, pushed the process forward quickly, bringing the signing session to an end more than two hours earlier than originally planned.

Fortunately, the next link had already been arranged, and the concert could be seamlessly connected without making everyone wait.

The fans who had just attended the autograph session reunited in the theater's auditorium. The autograph books in their hands were their concert tickets and seat numbers, and the order had just been filled in for them.

Of course Lucy had already taken a seat, but she was invited to the VIP seat, and then she saw a familiar figure in the VIP seat.

"father!"

Seeing Jude Heartfilia, Lucy cried out in surprise and immediately moved closer. She hadn't seen her father for a while and was naturally excited to see him here suddenly.

Hearing his daughter's voice and seeing her running towards him, Jiude was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he did not expect to meet Lucy here.

"Lucy? Why are you here?"

Looking at Lucy who came to his side, Jiude frowned and asked.

"I'm here to attend Mr. Moon's book signing event."

Seeing her father frowning and looking sternly questioning, Lucy's originally high spirits suddenly dropped. She whispered that she knew her father didn't like her running around, and that her father would definitely be unhappy to see her suddenly here.

"."

Looking at Lucy with a stubborn face, Jiude's expression was a little complicated.

Although he knew that Lucy was a fan of Moon's books, he didn't expect that his daughter liked Moon's books so much that she would sneak out alone to attend Moon's book signing event.

In the past, Lucy ran away from home so disobediently just to find him, but now there is another person who is worthy of her doing this.

Although Jiude has known Moon for such a long time, he has never arranged for Lucy and Moon to meet. One reason is that he is really busy and has been busy all the time.

The second reason is out of his selfish motives. After truly knowing and understanding the power of Moon and "Fairy Tail", Jiude is a little reluctant to let Lucy get too deeply involved with them.

The death of Jude's wife Leila has always been a thorn in his heart.

Although Leila did not tell Jiude the specific reason, Jiude was not stupid. He knew that it must be because of the magician's incident that his wife's health suddenly went from healthy to near death.

Since then, Jiude has become more and more aware of the dangers of the world of magicians. The more outstanding and famous you are, the more dangerous it is.

Being an ordinary little wizard and doing some trivial commissions is not very dangerous.

And someone like Leila, as an excellent celestial wizard, she had quite a reputation throughout the continent, but she died suddenly, because everything she was exposed to was very dangerous.

Moen and Fairy Tail's immense power and their prodigious ability to cause trouble touched a nerve with Jiude. This caused Jiude's attitude to change, shifting from initially hoping that Lucy could establish a master-disciple relationship with Moen to now hoping that Lucy could stay away from Moen and Fairy Tail—a complete reversal of his initial stance.

Jiude couldn't stop Lucy from learning celestial magic because it was taught to her by Leila.

Leila said that as long as Lucy wanted to learn, she would support her, and she would let the stars who had signed a contract with her take care of and protect Lucy.

But Jiude thought that if he just let Lucy learn casually and didn't let her get involved in the mess in the wizard world, he should be able to avoid the tragedy that happened to Leila from happening again.

"Lucy, what do you think of Moen?"

Looking at Lucy, Jiude suddenly asked.

"Mr. Moon? Of course he's a very powerful man! Not only is he an extremely powerful Celestial Mage, but his books and music are also amazing! He's the person I want to be like!"

Facing her father's question, Lucy answered seriously that the person she wanted to be was someone like Moon.

She is also a celestial wizard with a very powerful heritage. Her mother left her a lot of "legacies", even including the celestial spirits of two zodiac signs. She also likes writing very much. She has begun to organize the stories her mother told her in the past and plans to write them into a story collection.

In Lucy's eyes, Moon is her best idol and goal.

"."

Jiude was speechless for a moment. He had no idea his daughter had always thought this way, or that she had even set Moen as her target. Was this really possible? Wasn't her ambition a little too ambitious?
Although Jiude also knew that his wife Leila had left a lot of inheritance to Lucy, even his famous wife Leila could only stand aside in front of the current Moon, right?

Lucy compared herself with Moon and regarded Moon as her goal to catch up with, which made Jiude start to compare the two of them as well.

After seeing this comparison, Jiude felt that he might have thought too much before.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Even if Lucy becomes a wizard, she probably won't encounter any danger. Her talent, compared to geniuses like Moon and the others, is probably just mediocre, right?"
It's still unclear whether Lucy can reach the career heights of her mother, Leila, let alone compare to Moon.

Jiude began to think that maybe it would not be a bad thing to let Lucy join "Fairy Tail". After all, if the sky falls, there are people like Moon who are taller than him to hold it up, so Lucy will not be needed anyway.

The reason why Leila ended up like that might be because she had no organization, no guild, and no tall people to support her.

Looking at her father's constantly changing expression, Lucy looked a little worried. She was afraid that her words made her father angry. The little girl kept carefully observing her father's expression.

However, Jiude, whose mind was filled with various thoughts, did not notice Lucy's worries. He frowned and kept thinking about the pros and cons.

"Lucy, answer me seriously, if I let you join the Fairy Tail Guild and let you become Morn's disciple, would you be willing?"

Just when Lucy was feeling uneasy, Jiude suddenly spoke.

These words made little Lucy's eyes widen. She stared at her father blankly, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
