Chapter 115: Accepting Qing Lin as a Disciple

Two days later.

Knock, knock, knock!

A soft knocking came from outside the room. Gu He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Come in."

With Gu He's permission, a small head peeked into the room.

Qing Lin entered the room carrying a basin of water and looked at Gu He, who was sitting on the bed, and said obediently, "Master Gu, I'm here to assist you with your morning routine."

Compared to two days ago, Qing Lin was no longer as timid in front of Gu He.

The change in her demeanor was naturally related to Gu He's attitude over the past two days. To leave a good impression on the young girl, Gu He always spoke in an elegant and affable manner. He even had Qing Lin sit with him at the dining table. This treatment gradually made Qing Lin less afraid of Gu He, and she became willing to serve him.

At this moment, Gu He, looking at the docile young girl in front of him, was even more satisfied. He smiled and said, "Alright."

Then, Gu He got up and began his morning routine.

"Um... Master Gu, Commander Xiao asked you to visit the conference hall after you've freshened up."

"Xiao Ding?"

Hearing this, Gu He's brow furrowed, but he soon relaxed. He thought that it was time to meet Xiao Ding. After all, Qing Lin was now part of the Mercenary Group, so he should inform them about his intentions.

Thinking this, Gu He smiled at Qing Lin and ruffled her hair. "Then lead the way."

"Okay." Qing Lin gently replied and carefully followed him.

As they walked through the inner areas of the mercenary group, every mercenary they encountered would stop and greet Gu He warmly, indicating that they knew his identity.

On the other hand, Xiao Ding was puzzled by Gu He's furrowed brows. After all Xue Lan had introduced him as a third-grade alchemist, but he was merely requesting the crafting of a second-grade pill.

Gu He eventually came back to his senses and said, "Crafting the Purple Jade Pill for you shouldn't be a problem."

"But," he continued, "I have a request. I hope you will agree to it."

Gu He then put down his tea cup, and, surprisingly, he had a somewhat serious expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li frowned slightly. They hesitated for a moment but eventually asked, "May we know what conditions you're proposing?"

Without an immediate reply, Gu He turned his gaze towards Qing Lin, and he spoke gently, "Qing Lin, I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

???

This statement from Gu He left the room filled with confusion and shock. The Xiao brothers were initially puzzled and then stunned.

What's going on? Gu He wants to take Qing Lin as his disciple?

Clearly, Gu He's decision had left the Xiao brothers baffled. Xiao Li had a moment of realization the day he heard the girls mention Qing Lin's name. However, he couldn't comprehend why Gu He would choose to make Qing Lin his disciple.

Gu He's actions left Xiao Li utterly puzzled. He wondered what Gu He had in mind.

At the moment, Gu He was fully focused on Qing Lin and didn't have the attention to spare for Xiao Li's questions. However, the shock was not limited to the Xiao brothers; even Qing Lin was deeply surprised.

As she looked at the man who was now showing a warm smile towards her, she felt a sense of confusion.

"Master Gu, wants to take me as a disciple?"
