I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

"Alright, since you're already here, don't worry about it. Just leave it to me."    

"Tian Cheng Shi will be back at least tomorrow morning. It's already past midnight, so go take a shower. I'll go get someone to bring two sets of clothes over."    

"Rest well. I'll take you to clean up that bloody gang!"    

As he spoke, Shen Jun poured a cup of licorice tea for Xie Qi Lan.    

Looking at the girl in front of him who had obviously not slept for several days, Shen Jun's heart ached.    

It was the middle of winter, and there was not even a shabby temple in Lone Vulture City that could shelter the wind.    

Once a person fell asleep outside, they would probably never wake up again.    

It was unknown how long this little girl had been suffering, but her eyes were already bloodshot.    

Xie Qi Lan drank the hot tea and lightly nodded her head.    

Just as Shen Jun had thought, she had not slept for a good night's sleep for an unknown period of time.    

The only rest she had was to find a rock that was not frozen and lie on it for a while during noon.    

After hiding in Lone Vulture City for so long, Xie Qi Lan had suddenly found a warm and safe place to stay. She was indeed unable to endure it.    

However, just as Shen Jun called for the array masters to send the clothes over...    

Xie Qi Lan, who was preparing to bathe, suddenly discovered a very serious problem.    

Why is there only one bed in this room?    

Could it be that... Could it be that I am going to sleep with this young man today?    

Looking at the comfortable and soft feather bed in front of her, Xie Qi Lan's ears turned red.    

"Hey?! Qi Lan, your face doesn't look right. Why are you so red?"    

"It must be because you have been out for too long. The room is warm, and your skin can't take it?" Shen Jun frowned slightly and wanted to go up to touch Xie Qi Lan's forehead with concern.    

This little girl was too innocent. If she got a fever, it would be bad.    

However, Xie Qi Lan was like a cat that had exploded. She dodged Shen Jun's hand with an exaggerated back jump.    

The redness on her face became even more obvious.    

"I, I, I am fine. Don't worry, I am fine."    

"I'll go take a shower first!"    

After saying that, Xie Qi Lan carried her clothes and rushed into the bathroom.    

Shen Jun looked at her flustered appearance and laughed bitterly. He did not guess what Xie Qi Lan was thinking.    

He was an old man of steel, and he only treated Xie Qi Lan as a child.    

How could he know that this little girl's mind was much more mature than that of a boy's?    

Moreover, this was the Azure Wood Continent. There were countless girls who married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. A child like Xie Qi Lan, who came from a rich family, had a specialized teacher to teach her about this.    

What she should know, he already knew.    

After that, Xie Qi Lan bathed for an entire two hours.    

The servants of the Array Master Union came six times, and they changed six barrels of hot water.    

When the little girl finally finished washing and changed into a blue dress, she walked out.    

Shen Jun's eyes lit up.    

As expected of my future wife!    

She was a top beauty since she was young!    

Her hair, which was tangled together due to being dirty, had been washed clean and refreshing. It was like a black waterfall that flowed smoothly behind her head.    

Her small black face was also washed clean, and she had returned to her original appearance.    

Her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyebrows were like distant dais.    

After washing, Xie Qi Lan's skin was even more translucent.    

Seeing Shen Jun staring at her so intently, Xie Qi Lan, who was already a little embarrassed, felt even more uneasy. She didn't know if she was too embarrassed because she had been in the hot water for too long, or if she was really too shy.    

Her small face was even redder than before she went in.    

After standing at the door of the bathroom for a long time, Xie Qi Lan was finally too embarrassed to look at Shen Jun. She buried her head in the blanket and didn't even look at Shen Jun.    

She covered her head with the blanket and became an ostrich.    

At this moment, Shen Jun finally saw through her.    

This girl was really shy.    

It had to be said that this girl's thoughts were really more meticulous than a male's.    

How old was she? She was actually shy.    

You are only six or seven years old, and I am only eight years old.    

When two children were together, nothing could go wrong.    

Shen Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he walked to the bedside. He patted Xie Qi Lan on the back and said softly, "I'm so dirty too. I'll go wash up first."    

"Don't stay in the blanket. I called someone to bring some more food. You can eat something and go back to sleep."    

After saying that, Shen Jun specially brought some of Xie Qi Lan's favorite pastries to the bedside and poured her a cup of licorice tea before turning around and going to the bathroom.    

Only when she heard the sound of splashing water in the bathroom did Xie Qi Lan poke her head out of the blanket timidly.    

Her snow-white face was still flushed red.    

She looked at the tightly shut bathroom door and then at the pastries and the tea that had been poured on the bedside table.    

A warm feeling flowed through Xie Qi Lan's heart.    

She had only known this young man today, but he was so concerned about her. He even found the president of the Array Formation Union to avenge her.    

Could it be that the heavens were kind?    

Xie Qi Lan, who had not eaten her fill, grabbed the pastries on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. She choked on them and didn't care. She picked up the teapot and poured it into her mouth.    

She was already so hungry that she couldn't take it anymore. She just couldn't let it go in front of Shen Jun.    

When Shen Jun came out, not to mention the bedside table, even the pastries on the table had been swept clean.    

The teapot was also empty. Not a single drop of water could be poured out.    

As for Xie Qi Lan, she was still in her blanket, not even daring to show her hair.    

Seeing her ostrich-like appearance, Shen Jun couldn't help but laugh.    

Forget it, forget it. I won't make things difficult for her.    

She didn't even dare to look at him when he was in her room.    

If he really went to bed with her, wouldn't she be so nervous that she couldn't sleep?    

Thinking about it, Shen Jun walked to the bedside and sat down. He said softly, "Don't be nervous. At worst, I'll sleep on the floor tonight."    

"Look at how soft the carpet is. There is also a heating array on the floor. It's also good for me to sleep on the floor."    

"Don't think too much. Hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow is your big day. You can't go to sleep with dark circles under your eyes."    

Hearing Shen Jun's soft comforting words, Xie Qi Lan, who was still in the blanket, finally poked her head out timidly and nodded lightly.    

Seeing the watery eyes that had poked out of the blanket, Shen Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

Why didn't he realize earlier that this little girl was actually so mature?    

"Alright, then sleep well. I'll go find something to cover you." Shen Jun patted her hand that was curled up in the blanket gently and was ready to get off the bed to pull the curtain to make a blanket.    

"You... Wait a moment." Xie Qi Lan stopped Shen Jun and asked hesitantly, "Shen Jun, I have something to ask you."    

"I've never met you before. Today is the first time we meet. Why are you treating me so well and even helping me?"    

Ever since eating the bowl of bone soup, Xie Qi Lan had been curious about this question.    

Only now did she finally dare to ask.    

"Didn't I tell you before? I like you, and I want to take you in as my disciple." Shen Jun laughed and gave the same answer.    

"Really?"    

"Really!"    

After repeatedly confirming, Xie Qi Lan finally believed him.
