The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The next day, Song Shuwen came to the clinic again.

The dismal result of accepting a disciple yesterday kept him awake all night. After careful consideration, he decided to let go of some of his insistence and lower the standards for accepting a disciple.

Those who were scared off by his high standards left without hesitation. He thought that if he lowered the standards, more people would come, but reality poured cold water on him.

It was not until noon that a few timid faces appeared in front of the clinic.

There was curiosity and desire in their eyes, but more of hesitation and fear.

Song Shuwen smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that after yesterday, he had become a harsh "devil" in the eyes of these people.

"Are you guys here to become my disciples?" Song Shuwen tried to make his voice gentler.

Several people looked at each other, and finally a brave boy stood up and said, "Sir, we want to give it a try."

Song Shuwen nodded. He could see the determination in these children's eyes. Perhaps he could really find a suitable apprentice among them.

The clinic was filled with the aroma of herbs. Song Shuwen began a new round of tests. His eyes scanned each child, hoping to discover a glimmer of unique light.

This time, he must succeed in recruiting a disciple. He secretly swore that the clinic needed fresh blood and someone to inherit his legacy.

At the end of the day, Song Shuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After numerous rounds of screening, he finally got five apprentices.

He looked at the five energetic young men in front of him with a serious expression and said solemnly: "From now on, you can no longer use your real names. Just call me the eldest, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth in order."

The five young men were stunned at first, then nodded in agreement.

The five people are of similar age.

After leaving the clinic, Song Shuwen went straight back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and came directly to the hall where Xiyu was. He informed Xiyu of everything about accepting disciples and brought the five new disciples with him to meet Xiyu.

Xi Yu looked up at the five people, with a faint smile on his face, waved his hand and said: "As for the matter of accepting disciples, it's fine as long as you think it's appropriate. There's no need to bring them to see me."

But the five people didn't think so. They were full of joy and their faces were filled with excitement.

After all, Prime Minister Xi Yu was famous, and they usually had no chance to see him so closely. Now that they were standing in front of him, they felt extremely honored and very happy.

Finally, Song Shuwen brought his five apprentices to the hotel, which he had temporarily transformed into a place for study, with various medical books and herbal samples placed in the room.

Song Shuwen stood in front of his disciples and said solemnly, "From now on, we will officially begin our studies. You must know that I am an extremely rigorous person, and learning medicine does not tolerate any carelessness. If you want to learn real skills, you must go all out and study hard. The road of medicine is long, and only diligence can allow you to go further on this path."

After hearing this, the disciples all nodded solemnly.

Xi Yu was sitting in the study, thinking about Dongfanghong. The scene of Dongfanghong getting hurt for him appeared in his mind, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, with both gratitude and heartache.

He immediately decided to visit Dongfanghong, just like he had visited a patient in his previous life, and even asked someone to prepare some eggs.

When night fell and the lights came on, Xiyu took the basket of eggs and walked towards Youzhou College.

Arriving at the college, he headed straight towards Dongfanghong's dormitory as if he knew the route well.

The academy was shrouded in darkness and was quite quiet.

Dongfanghong was sitting at the desk in the dormitory, immersed in the world of books. The flickering candlelight made her profile look even softer.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and saw Xi Yu standing outside. She was surprised and happy and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Xi Yu, why are you here?" Dongfanghong asked with a smile, her eyes full of surprise and joy.

Xi Yu walked into the house with a smile and handed over the food box with eggs in his hand: "I thought you were injured, so I brought some eggs to see you."

Dongfanghong looked at the food box, was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

After all, this is a forward-looking way of looking at patients.

It was refreshing for her to see the prime minister come to visit her in this way.

Xi Yu looked at Dongfang Hong, as if he could read his inner thoughts, and said softly, "As for me, I want to relive the things in my previous life. After all, you and Wen Xuan both traveled through time, and the friendship between us is really precious."

Dongfanghong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll go get some wine, and we can drink together and reminisce about the past."

Xi Yu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"I came to see you, and I asked you to buy some wine. How can I be so embarrassed?"

Dongfanghong pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about? Why are you being so polite to me?"

After that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Wenxuan was strolling leisurely in the yard when he suddenly heard bursts of laughter coming from the Dongfanghong dormitory. Curious, he walked towards this side.

When they reached the door, Wenxuan knocked gently. When the door opened, Xiyu saw that it was him and explained with a smile: "Wenxuan, Dongfanghong got hurt a little while helping me. I felt bad about it, so I came to see him."

Dongfanghong looked at Wenxuan, her eyes no longer had the strong emotions of the past, and she looked quite calm. She just said out of politeness: "Since you are here, let's chat here for a while. I'll go out and get some wine, and we can drink together."

After saying that, without waiting for Wenxuan's response, he walked out, leaving Wenxuan and Xiyu in the room.

Xiyu then told Wenxuan in detail what happened in the bun shop that day.

Wenxuan knew that store and thought it was a shady shop. He never expected that it was actually related to Dongfanghong.

Not long after, Dongfanghong came back with wine and warmly invited the two to drink together.

But Wenxuan refused: "I won't drink it. I have some things to deal with."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Neither of them forced her.

But in Xiyu's opinion, it would be perfect if she stayed too.

That night, moonlight poured into the house through the window, illuminating the figures of Dongfanghong and Xiyu.

The two of them took turns drinking, and the more they drank, the more excited they became. Their laughter echoed in the small dormitory.

Gradually, as the alcohol took effect, their eyes became blurred and their words became more and more unclear, but they were still reluctant to put down the wine glasses in their hands.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally couldn't resist the drunkenness and fell directly on the table. The wine glasses on the table tilted to the side and the remaining wine slowly dripped down, as if they were also witnessing this hearty and affectionate gathering.

Just as the two were drunk, suddenly, a black shadow landed silently in Youzhou College like a ghost.

He was a mysterious knight. He displayed his wonderful martial arts skills and moved lightly between the buildings of the academy, as light and silent as a fallen leaf.

He was dressed in a nightgown, wrapped tightly up with only a pair of sharp eyes showing outside, flashing coldly in the moonlight, revealing a mysterious and dangerous aura.

He was still holding a sword tightly in his hand, and the patterns on the scabbard were faintly visible in the dim light.

The knight walked very quickly and soon arrived at the door of Dongfanghong's dormitory.

He looked up, only to see that the door was half-open and there was a faint smell of alcohol coming from the room.

He frowned slightly, hesitated at the door, then slowly raised his feet and walked towards the house. The man glanced around the house and instantly recognized Dongfanghong. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a cold chill.

Then, he walked inside without hesitation. Although his steps were light, they carried an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Soon, he stood in front of Dongfanghong, and without saying a word, he put the sword in his hand on Dongfanghong's neck.

The cold touch made Dongfanghong shudder, and most of the drunkenness disappeared instantly.

His eyes widened and he shouted, "Who are you?"

The shout was particularly loud in the silent room and woke up Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was still a little confused, but when he saw the tense scene in front of him, the drunkenness disappeared in an instant. He looked at the mysterious man vigilantly, ready to deal with this sudden situation.

Xi Yu really didn't expect that someone would actually attack Dongfanghong. In his impression, Dongfanghong has always been kind and didn't seem to have offended anyone.

Those secret guards were nearby at the moment, but they were not sure whether the target of this mysterious man who suddenly appeared was Xi Yu himself or Dongfang Hong.

After all, their main duty is to protect Xi Yu. Strictly speaking, they have no obligation to protect Dongfang Hong, so they dare not act rashly for the time being. They can only watch and wait in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to take action.

The man's eyes were cold, and the sword in his hand was pointed steadily at Dongfanghong's neck. The tip of the sword was only a hair's breadth away from her skin. With just a little force, blood would be drawn.

He turned his head to look at Xi Yu and said in a cold tone: "I don't know who you are, but I have no grudge against you. If you know what's good for you, leave now. I will only take his life today."

Xi Yu quickly raised his hand to signal the man to calm down, and advised: "Brother, let's talk it out, don't be impulsive. What grudge do you have against Dongfanghong that you have to do such a cruel thing?"

Dongfanghong suppressed her fear and looked at the man, asking, "Who are you? I don't think I have any grudge against you, so why do you treat me like this?"

The man sneered again, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Hmph, when you get to the underworld, go ask the King of Hell what is recorded in your book of life and death, and you will know. Today, you cannot escape this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with anger, and responded coldly: "Why do you want to take someone's life without knowing right or wrong? If you have the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to show your true colors? Are you doing something shameful?"

The man didn't care about Xi Yu's questioning at all. He still had that cold look on his face. He sneered again and said, "I will turn myself in after killing him. By then, I will let everyone in the world know the reason. However, you don't have to worry about it. I advise you to leave here quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you too. Don't risk your life for an irrelevant person."

After saying that, he tightened the sword in his hand again, as if warning Xi Yu not to act rashly.

At this critical moment, Xi Yu shouted loudly: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and protect my friend!"

As soon as the words fell, the secret guards who had been hiding in the dark rushed out instantly.

Their movements were as fast as lightning. Before the man could react, two secret guards flashed to his side like ghosts, grabbed his arms on the left and right, twisted them hard, and forcibly pulled him away from Dongfang Hong. Then, they pushed him to the ground.

The man was shocked, his eyes widened, and he struggled desperately, shouting, "Who are you? How did you get out?"

But no matter how he struggled, the hands of the two secret guards were like iron clamps, holding him tightly, making him unable to move. He could only glare at the people around him with resentment on his faces.

At this time, Xi Yu frowned and ordered the two secret guards: "Take off his mask quickly. I want to see who he is."

The secret guard received the order and swiftly reached out to tear off the mask on the man's face.

Xiyu and Dongfanghong hurried forward to check, only to see that the man in front of them was just an ordinary person with ordinary looks.

Dongfanghong looked at him carefully for a long time, frowned and shook his head. He really didn't know this person at all.

Then, Dongfanghong nodded at Xiyu, indicating that he really had no impression.

Xi Yu stared at the man with sharp eyes and said coldly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you? Why did you do such a cruel thing to Dongfanghong? Tell me the reason in detail, and maybe I can spare your life."

The man snorted coldly and turned his head away without answering. However, there was a stubborn look in his eyes, and it seemed that he was not going to give in easily.

When the man heard Xi Yu's question, he became angry and swore, "Who the hell are you? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business? Tonight, I am determined to kill this beast, and no one can stop me!"

Dongfanghong frowned, then reacted instantly. She pointed at the man and said, "I understand. He must be from the steamed bun shop, or he must be one of the hooligans who molested the two ladies on the street that day."

After being reminded by him, Xi Yu immediately thought of this point, and there was a hint of realization in his eyes.

However, the man who was pinned to the ground looked confused and shouted, "What are you talking about? What about the steamed bun shop and flirting with the ladies? I don't understand what you are talking about at all!"

He struggled with a look of unwillingness on his face, but his body was held down by the secret guards and he could not break free.

This confused Xi Yu and Dong Fang Hong. They looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

If it wasn't done by the two parties they guessed, then who on earth was instigating this man in front of them, and why did he do such a cruel thing to Dongfanghong?
Xi Yu's face became increasingly gloomy. He took a step forward, looked down at the man, and said coldly, "My patience is limited. You'd better tell me the truth quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After saying this, his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, which made the man tremble slightly in his heart.

But he gritted his teeth and kept his mouth tightly shut stubbornly, refusing to utter a single word.

Next, Xi Yu winked at the secret guards, who understood what he meant and immediately prepared to "greet" the man, hoping to use some means to force him to speak.

However, Xi Yu immediately lowered his voice and said, "This is Youzhou College after all, don't make too much noise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

After hearing this, the secret guards nodded in agreement, and then worked together to drag the man to a corner of the room.

One of the secret guards lowered his voice and said to the man viciously: "When are you willing to talk? Let's go back to this room. If you keep talking stubbornly, you will be in trouble!"

Although the man's face was full of fear, he still stiffened his neck, looking stubborn and refusing to say anything even if beaten to death.

Xi Yu frowned and asked Dongfang Hong again with a puzzled look on his face: "You really don't know that person? Think about it carefully, and don't hide anything."

Dongfanghong responded eagerly: "I swear, I absolutely don't know him. How dare I hide anything about this matter?"

Xi Yu sighed slightly and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's wait for the secret guards to come up with a result before we talk about it."

After hearing this, Dongfanghong recalled the thrilling scene just now and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. With lingering fear, she reached out and grabbed Xiyu's arm tightly, her eyes full of fear and her voice trembling a little.

"Luckily you came to see me today, otherwise I really don't know what to do, and no one would come to help me. I would probably be..."

Having said that, he didn't dare to think about the terrible consequences anymore.

After listening to Dongfanghong's words, Xiyu nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this was indeed the truth.

He smiled again, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, you are right. Since God has sent us here from our past lives, he will definitely not let us die so easily. We are all people with great fortune. This little setback is nothing, it's just a false alarm."

After saying that, he winked at Dongfanghong, trying to make him completely put his mind at ease.

Although Dongfanghong also knew this truth, he still felt a little scared when he thought about this incident.

After a while, a secret guard came up and said, "Prime Minister, the man is willing to speak."

"In that case, let him come over quickly. I want to hear what's going on."

At this time, Dongfanghong became even more curious.

There is no hatred without reason in the world. Why is this? (End of this chapter)
