Tan Xiu smiled and rubbed his little head, saying, "Since I said that I can cure you, I can naturally make you recover. Don't worry! You'll become a vigorous and lively young man in the future. "
The boy's eyes lit up. He quietly observed Tan Xiu for more than ten seconds, and then thoughtfully said, "Uncle, if my father works for you in the future, then I'll also work for you in the future."
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you feel honored to work for me?"
"I believe in my father's vision, and I also think that you're very powerful," said the boy. "Those people in the room just now are very afraid of you."
Tan Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he asked, "Why do you think they're afraid of me?"
"There were five people in the room when I was carried in just now," said the boy. "You're one of them, and there's another one who is about the same age as you. The way he looked at you was strange. It's the kind of look one would have when seeing a horrible person or thing. My father also seems to be afraid of you. Sometimes he wants to say something, but he doesn't. The other two look at you with respect, but the premise of respecting someone is fear. "
"I didn't expect you to analyze it so clearly and logically." Tan Xiu said with a smile, "Did you observe all of this?"
The boy nodded.
Tan Xiu fell into silence. He was a bit shocked inwardly because he didn't expect that the boy's observation ability was so powerful. It must be noted that he was now suffering great pain. If it were an ordinary child, he would have already screamed in pain. How could he still have the mood to observe everyone in the room?
"Can you answer a question for me?"
After a while, Tan Xiu slowly asked.
The boy still nodded.
"You should be eight years old this year, right?" asked Tan Xiu. "You should be in the second grade at your age. Can you tell me about your academic performance? "
A proud look appeared on the boy's face. Even though it was only a trace of pain, he still said, "I'm the best in the whole school. I've always been the first among more than 680 fourth-grade students."
"Fourth-grade?"
Tan Xiu looked surprised.
The boy said, "I jumped two grades in a row."
Raising his thumbs up, Tan Xiu praised, "I never thought that you're actually a little genius. That's right. Like father, like son. Your father is very good. He's quite capable. As his son, you naturally won't be too bad. "
The boy said, "I want to be a marshal in the future, so I naturally have to work hard."
Marshal?
Tan Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the little guy and said, "You can't be a marshal now, unless you can become the most awesome big shot in our country."
The boy's expression darkened slightly when he heard this.
Very soon.
A basin of warm water, a few clean towels, gauze, plasterboard, and other medical supplies were all sent to the room. As the door was closed by Xue Zengmei from the outside, Tang Xiu took out a sharp dagger from his interspatial ring and cut the boy's pants. Then, he said, "It's gonna be very painful. Can you bear it?"
The boy trembled slightly and said, "Can you give me a towel?"
Tan Xiu's expression changed as he asked, "Stuff it into my mouth?"
"Yes!"
The boy nodded heavily.
Tan Xiu handed him a white towel and watched him stuff the white towel into his mouth. He secretly praised him in his heart. He cleaned, wiped, and used his Primal Chaos Force to correct the dislocated broken bones on the knees and slowly moved the broken bones back to their original positions. He could clearly feel the boy's pain because big drops of sweat rolled down his face and his seemingly thin body was trembling violently.
"Endure it."
Tan Xiu took out the Body Refining Potion from his Space Ring and slowly poured it on the boy's knees. Along with the whimpering sound coming from the boy's throat, Tan Xiu pressed his palms on the boy's knees.
Time ticked by.
Half an hour later, Tang Xiu removed his hands from the boy's knees. He looked at the boy who was sweating profusely and looked dispirited and listless. He was secretly surprised. Because his treatment process was simple and direct. Even an ordinary adult would find it difficult to bear the pain and would faint from the pain. He didn't expect the boy to be able to endure it.
"His willpower is stronger than an adult's. Even some ordinary cultivators can't compare to him in terms of willpower. It's a pity that his physique is ordinary. Otherwise, he would definitely be a cultivation genius worth cultivating. However, given his age, he may be able to achieve great achievements in the future once he embarks on the path of cultivation as long as his willpower remains as firm as a blade's edge. "
This thought flashed in Tan Xiu's mind. He immediately wrapped the boy's knees with gauze and fixed it with a cast. He then said with a smile, "Starting from today, you can only stay here for the next seven days. Your feet are not allowed to touch the ground, and you'll need someone to help you with any movement. You'll be able to recover after seven days. "
The boy asked with a trembling voice, "Can I … sleep for a while?"
"Go to sleep!" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
In the corridor outside.
Li Yuquan hugged his wife with an anxious look in his eyes. Although he learned from Chang Zhao that Tan Xiu was a divine doctor, he didn't dare to fully believe that Tan Xiu could completely cure his son's leg injury. He was afraid … afraid that Tan Xiu couldn't cure his son and that his son would become disabled in the future. He would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life if that were to happen.
Creak …
The office door was opened and Li Yuquan instantly released his wife. He strode forward and asked, "How is it, Mr. Tang?"
"Don't let your son walk for the next seven days," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "Forget it. You still have other things to do, so don't worry about it. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, Chang Zhao. You must guard this child closely for the next seven days. You must carry him on your back even when he needs to eat, drink, and go to the toilet. You must take care of him meticulously. If you can do it, you'll be done for. Otherwise, you'll have to pay for your crimes with your life! "
"I'll do as you say, Young Master Tang," said Chang Zhao without hesitation. "I'll definitely take good care of him."
Tan Xiu slowly nodded and said, "I know you want to spend more time with your wife and child, Li Yuquan. I'll give you half an hour, then you must come with me to solve your problem once and for all."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang," said Li Yuquan gratefully.
"No need to thank me." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "You haven't forgotten what you said before, have you?"
Li Yuquan stared blankly for a moment before he solemnly nodded and said, "I haven't."
In the viewing hall of the teahouse.
With a curious look on his face, Wolf Head stood in front of Tan Xiu and asked, "Do you really want to take Li Yuquan as your subordinate, Sect Master? You must know that he did it for his family, but … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and lightly said, "If the army can give him a sense of belonging and he hasn't been abandoned, I'm afraid he wouldn't have done such a thing. In other words, what would you do if you were standing in Li Yuquan's position? "
Wolf Head quietly pondered for a while and then bitterly said, "I'm afraid I'd have done the same thing if I were him."
"That's right." Tan Xiu nodded. "Everything has two sides. He can play his role if he can control it. He can take risks for his wife and child, even at the cost of his life. This shows that he's not afraid of death, and he's affectionate and loyal. If he can become our brother in the future, I'm afraid he'll also treat you as his family in the future as long as you regard him as your closest brother. To tell you the truth, I really appreciate this kind of person, even those soldiers who are willing to risk their lives for the country. "
Wolf Head firmly nodded and said, "Loyalty to the country and the people is a prerequisite for every soldier. It's the most basic bottom line. But now that we've left the army, we're only loyal to you. "
"I'm also loyal to this country," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Suddenly …
Tan Xiu's expression moved and he lightly smiled. "It seems that Jin Shi received my order and rushed here without stopping. He's already outside. Go and bring him here! "
A few minutes later.
Jin Shi came to the viewing hall under Wolf Head's lead. After standing in front of Tan Xiu, he respectfully said, "Sect Master, is there anything you need from me?"
Tan Xiu smiled and waved his hand, motioning him to sit down. Then, he said, "Wolf Head gave me a suggestion, and I think it's very good. That's why I called you here directly to discuss it with you. "
Jin Shi glanced at Wolf Head and respectfully said, "Sect Master, please give me your order. I'll do my best to complete it."
"Jin Shi, there's something I want to ask you before I talk to you." Tan Xiu smilingly said. Do you think Awu and the others have become Tang Sect Elders but you haven't? What do you think you're thinking? "
Jin Shi was silent for a while before he forced a smile and said, "I'm very unwilling, Sect Master. But you set the rules yourself. Since I'm not the first to become a Golden Core Stage expert, so I can't become a Sect Elder, it proves that my efforts are not enough. "
Tan Xiu faintly nodded and said, "I'm very glad that you have this kind of understanding. But I'll give you a chance now. If you can establish a huge intelligence network all over the world within two years, I'll make you the newest Elder of the Tang Sect. "
Jin Shi's eyes lit up and he replied in a deep voice, "I'll do my best, Sect Master."
"Alright, I'll tell you about the establishment of the intelligence network and the expansion of the Tang Sect's outer disciples," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Are you going to expand the number of outer disciples in our sect, Sect Master?" asked Jin Shi curiously.
"Since we're going to vigorously develop the sect, we naturally need a lot of outer disciples." Tan Xiu nodded. "Also, these outer disciples may not necessarily have formidable cultivation, but they will be of great help to the inner disciples, which will be beneficial to the entire sect."
Jin Shi's expression shifted. He saw Tan Xiu take out a cigarette and hurriedly lit it for Tan Xiu. Then, he asked, "What do you mean, Master?"
