Ah Lang's heart pounded as he pondered over Tan Xiu's words. He had studied before, and at the age of seventeen this year, he had learned all the subjects from elementary school to high school in only five years. He was a genius with an extremely strong memory and comprehension ability.
Therefore!
He could tell the meaning of Tan Xiu's words. There was an ancient saying that a Master for a day is a father for life. A Master was not a teacher who welcomed and sent away his students in batches. A Master was like a family member or a father. A Master and a disciple were the closest people to each other in the truest sense.
"I'll give it a try."
A resolute look appeared in Ah Lang's eyes.
"Four minutes have passed in an hour and 60 minutes," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "In other words, you only have 56 minutes left."
Ah Lang's expression changed. He immediately sat down and concentrated on memorizing the contents of the Soul Refining, Heart Refining, and Spirit Refining Art.
However.
After a few minutes, a look of joy appeared on his thin face. This was because he discovered that his memory was much better than before. In the past, he would need to expend a great deal of effort to read ten lines at a glance. But now, his memory kept getting stronger and his thinking became sharper. He could even easily memorize the content he just glanced at.
"My brain has become more powerful."
After realizing this, Ah Lang immediately calmed his mind and continued to read the book with rapt attention. Forty minutes later, Ah Lang finished reading the last word of the book and recited the entire content of the cultivation art in his mind. He found that he couldn't remember some parts clearly, so he flipped through it again and closed the book, saying, "I've finished reading it."
"You've memorized it?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I can recite the entire content now." Ah Lang nodded.
A smile appeared on Tan Xiu's face. He turned around and walked to the only broken chair in the room and sat down. Then, he shook his head and said, "No need! I've been here for a long time and I've transformed your body, so I'm very thirsty now. "
"I'll get you some tea."
Ah Lang turned around and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he came to a halt and a look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes. He quickly poured a cup of tea and ran to Tan Xiu. He directly knelt on the ground and raised the cup with both hands. "Please have some tea, Master."
Tan Xiu took the teacup but was not in a hurry to drink the tea. Instead, he said with a smile, "It seems that there is still a little to go before the formal apprenticeship ceremony."
Ah Lang kowtowed three times and then raised his head to look at Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu nodded in satisfaction and drank the hot tea in his cup with a smile. He then helped him up from the ground and asked, "What's your surname?"
"I don't have a surname." Ah Lang shook his head. "Neither me nor my three older brothers have a surname."
Tan Xiu asked, "I have heard a little about you. Now tell me about your situation."
"I'm fine, Master," said Ah Lang bitterly. "It's just that I had three older brothers when I was young, and two of them died. My eldest brother is now in prison and I'm afraid he won't be able to come out for the rest of his life. As a matter of fact, they're not my blood brothers. Even my closest brothers don't know the real relationship between the four of us. "
"Tell me about it!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
"We used to live in an orphanage," said Ah Lang. "We were all abandoned when we were very young. Later on, the people in the orphanage abused us all day long, so my eldest brother and second brother secretly took us out. Not long after we came out, our youngest sister died, leaving only the four of us. Later on, we fought with others for territory, food, and money. Finally, my second and third brothers were killed, and my eldest brother was also sent to prison. "
Tan Xiu nodded slowly and said thoughtfully, "What did your eldest brother do? Was he sent to prison? "
Ah Lang's eyes gleamed with hatred as he said, "I avenged my second and third brothers. As a matter of fact, I, Wang Hu, and Wang Long were also the ones who killed those bastards. My eldest brother took responsibility for all the crimes himself, so we could avoid going to prison together. "
"Which prison is your eldest brother in now?" asked Tan Xiu.
"Qinchuan Prison."
Tan Xiu grabbed his mobile and dialed Zhu Long's number, saying, "I need to rescue someone from Qinchuan Prison. He's just an ordinary person, but his younger brother is my disciple and he'll follow me in the future. So report this to Duanmu Lin and ask him if he's willing to release him. "
"Understood!"
Zhulong agreed. Not long after he hung up, he called back.
"How is it?" asked Tan Xiu after he picked up the call.
"Director Duanmu has replied that there won't be any problem as long as you don't let the person stay in China and don't make any big moves in the next few years," said Zhu Long. "Aquababe has already left for Qinchuan Prison. Did I tell her to send him to you? Or are you going to pick him up yourself? "
Tan Xiu looked at Ah Lang and asked, "What's your eldest brother's name?"
"Ah Dong," answered Ah Lang.
"What's his name?" asked Tan Xiu.
"It's Ah Dong," answered Ah Lang. "The ID cards given to our class by the government are Ah Lang and Ah Dong."
Tan Xiu forced a wry smile and told Zhu Long the name. Then, he said, "Qinchuan Prison is not far from where I am. We'll pick him up ourselves. Tell Aquababe to contact me when she arrives at Qinchuan Prison!"
Tan Xiu put away his mobile and looked at the excited Ah Lang. Then, he lightly smiled and said, "You don't have a surname, so I'll give you another chance. If you can reach the late-stage of Golden Core in the next two years, I'll give you a surname. It's my surname."
"Tang?"
Ah Lang's eyes lit up and he heavily nodded. "I'll do my best according to your request, Master. You … can you really save my eldest brother from prison? "
"We'll go to Qinchuan Prison tonight to pick him up," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. However, before we pick him up, I have something to ask you. "
"Do you want to ask about my brothers, Master?" asked Ah Lang.
"It's really easy to talk to you." Tan Xiu chuckled. "Smart people are really likable! That's right, I just want to ask them. Since you've chosen to go with me, what about them? Do you want me to take them with me? Or do you want them to stay? Of course, I'll give each of them a sum of money if they stay. It's not a huge amount, but it's enough for them to live for more than a decade. "
"I still want them to go with me if I can take them with me, Master," said Ah Lang. "Because they'll be very sad if I leave with you myself."
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then take them with you. But before that, you need to ask their opinion and whether they want to go with you or not. "
"Alright!"
Outside the house.
Wang Hu and Wang Long anxiously stood outside the door, their eyes constantly peering through the gap of the door. Although they couldn't see anything, they hoped to hear the voices inside.
"What's going on, Brother? Did Divine Doctor Tang treat Ah Lang or not? "asked Wang Long anxiously.
"You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Wang Hu angrily retorted. "I don't know what's going on. I was inexplicably thrown out all of a sudden! No, that's not it. At that time … I was standing next to Ah Lang just a second ago, and then I was inexplicably pushed out of the house by a gust of wind in the next second. "
Wang Long didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything. He felt that his big brother must have lost his mind, else it was impossible for him to spout such nonsense.
Wang Hu paced back and forth and said, "What the hell is going on? We've tried to rush in many times, but we just can't get in. What the hell is this thing that keeps bouncing us back again and again? "
Creak!
The door was pushed open and Ah Lang, who no longer looked tired, came out with a beaming smile. When his eyes fell on Wang Hu and Wang Long, he loudly said, "Ah Hu, Ah Long, you two immediately contact all the brothers and tell them to gather here. Half an hour. Tell them to get there within half an hour. "
"How are you feeling, Ah Lang?" Wang Long rushed over and asked loudly.
Wang Hu, on the other hand, looked at Ah Lang with a strange expression. He clearly saw the sickly Ah Lang spurting out a mouthful of blood in front of him. How … how could he be fine in such a short period of time? Could it be that Divine Doctor Tang really has some miraculous medicine? Could it be that he can directly cure Ah Lang's illness?
"What happened, Ah Lang?"
Ah Lang spread his arms and clenched his fists as he loudly said, "I'm fine now. I'm completely cured. Tell all the brothers to come here quickly! "
"Alright!"
Ah Hu looked ecstatic and immediately took out his mobile phone to dial a number.
Tan Xiu stepped out of the room and looked at the smiling faces of the three youths. He secretly sighed inwardly. He was also a young man once, but he didn't have any sworn brothers who could go through life and death with him. Even in the Immortal World, he was surrounded by a bunch of hedonistic sons of rich parents who committed all sorts of crimes and stirred up trouble every day. In times of danger, they vividly displayed the essence of the saying, "Everyone goes their own ways in the face of a disaster".
"Perhaps, those few in the Su Family Village can be considered my childhood brothers? But they're just … maybe. 'Tan Xiu forced a wry smile inwardly.
In less than half an hour, more than 200 youths had arrived. From this point of view, Tan Xiu could see that Ah Lang's little brothers were really good.
Seeing them cry, seeing them laugh, and seeing a group of people constantly thanking him, his heart, which had been sealed up for a long time, finally cracked open. He finally let go of the layer of airtight defense between his brothers and friends.
Night fell.
The 228 boys and girls, including Ah Lang, all gathered in the courtyard and outside the courtyard. All of them looked at Tang Xiu with anticipation in their eyes.
They.
Through Ah Lang, he learned two things.
The first was that someone wanted them. From now on, they no longer had to run around for a living and no longer had to risk their lives for money.
The second was that their big brother, Ah Dong, who was in prison, was rescued by this benefactor and would soon follow him to welcome his big brother.
