132 Apprentices (1/2)

Xia Lian's face displayed a tranquil expression, but her inner emotions were completely churned up. She clenched her fists to keep her trembling fingers at bay. Taking in a deep breath she addressed them in a determined voice ” This one with the surname Wu, vows to protect you and will never ask anything of you that might bring shame upon you or trample upon your dignity.”

' And also I will make sure that you all will live well..' This was vowed in her heart with equal determination. She was a doctor and it was her duty to save their lives. There was no need for anyone of them to pledge their loyalty to her. A simple act of her care, in turn brought her a group of loyal followers. It is said that there is no duty more obligatory than repayment of kindness. Now, it's her turn to repay them for their trust in her.

” Thank you for believing in me and you can feel free around this place. From now, we all are of a single family.” her words once again caused tremors in their once ice cold heart. Family? How long had it been since someone considered them as a part of their family. Needless to say, their hearts were moved for good this time. Xia Lian didn't realise the impact of her words on their hearts at this moment. But, Bao Su who was standing by her side all this time felt that his master got herself something more than a group of loyal followers. He had a faint feeling that this group of people would not hesitate to put their lives in line when the need arises, and this prediction of his turned out to be true a few years later.

” Doctor Wu, I have something to request.” Xia Lian slightly nodded her head at He Chun indicating that he could continue what he wanted to say. On seeing the kid listen to him, He Chun smiled lightly and went down on his knees ” Doctor Wu, please accept me as your apprentice.”

What in the world is happening?

Xia Lian was stunned beyond words. She never expected that this dumb doctor will place himself on a chopping block. She was not that good of a person ah! He was a fat meat in her eyes and how could she reject him?

But, she need his help with something and she did not have the heart to blackmail him.. She was not that heartless ah!

” Doctor Wu, if you accept Doctor He, then you will get two additional lovely and clever loyal subordinates..” she was thinking deeply and did not notice when Bolin and Bohai entered the scene. But, their words and the look of anticipation on their faces made her smile.

” It's my pleasure to have you as my disciples..”

It took a moment for her words to dawn on them and the twins immediately squealed in delight. He Chun had a slight smile on his face but he was stopped by Xia Lian when he was about to kowtow ” I think there is no need of such ceremonies between us.. Doctor He, there is something I need to discuss with you.”

On seeing the serious look on her face, He Chun nodded as he got up. Excusing themselves from the crowd, He Chun and Xia Lian went back to her room with Bao Su following them.

No one knew what discussions went on in the closed room, but He Chun had an excited expression when he came out of the room. Inside the room, Bao Su's face had an incredible expression as he stared at the little girl before him. Not caring for the proper etique, he grabbed an empty chair in the room and pushed it so that it is in front of her. Sitting on the chair with his chin propped up on his fists, he stared at her.

What is this fellow doing? Did his brain go short-circuited because of her mind blowing plan ah?!
