His Rui

Chapter 621 Why Didn’t Gu Li Not Step Out Of The Tent?!

A shadow guard walked past Master Wong who had an expression on his face as if the whole world is destroyed and asked him playfully.

Master Wong raised his head. His face was emotionless as he looked at him but his eyes were full of resentment and he never answered his question. 

The shadow guard merely chuckled mercilessly mocking Master Wong’s situation and walking away from there.

Once he left, Master Wong no longer had an emotionless face and his face morphed into a child trying to stop himself from crying.

He looked towards the old man again who was leaning against the tree and had his eyes closed at this moment.

He had thought that since the old man was the true leader of Youxio and master of Gu Li, he would be able to take Mi Luan away once he would make the old man understand how important it was for Mi Luan to leave.

And the old man also didn’t look intimidating so he didn’t feel afraid to initiate the talk with him. 

However, once he started talking, the old man listened to him patiently but as soon as he started talking about Gu Li and how unreasonable he was behaving regarding Mi Luan, the old master’s smile disappeared but at least at that time he was still looking at him calmly.

But he had underestimated the old master. Though he had looked calm, Master Wong got to know that he had already offended the old master at that moment.

Gu Li was perhaps his favored pupil just like his little disciple was his favorite pupil or the old master couldn’t hear any bad talk about his pupils.

Either way, Master Wong didn’t get successful in his plan.

Just when he had said that it would be safe for Mi Luan if he left from there, the old master interrupted him without hesitation and had said

”Master Wong should not forget that it was my disciple Gu Li who saved your little disciple’s life, If he had not been there, then perhaps you would have found your little disciple’s dead body somewhere in the forest.”

Master Wong’s face had gone pale as he had really imagined the scene in his mind. He would have killed himself if it had really happened because he would have already known that his death was confirmed if something happened to his little disciple.

His little disciple was too precious. Not only because of the rare talent he had but also because of the special background he had.

Regardless of how pale face and trembling body, Master Wong had continued

”Mi Luan is safer here, Master Wong. Can you guarantee that he won’t be attacked again if you tried to leave this place?”

Master Wong indeed had a solemn face at these words because he found them reasonable. He didn’t even know why his little disciple was attacked. 

But he couldn’t take it lightly knowing what kind of background his little disciple had. So how could he be sure that his little disciple would not be attacked again!

So in response to the old master’s question, he could only give him silence. 

It was only after the old master closed his eyes and leaned against the tree and he got up from there, did he understand how easily he got manipulated by the old master.

Even if Mi Luan was not completely safe with him, they couldn’t simply keep him with them. They couldn’t make him a part of Youxio.

His little disciple was not made to kill people.

He could fight with anyone to save his little disciple but he won’t ever let his little disciple’s hands get dirty with blood. 

However, Master Wong didn’t go back to the old master again. In his eyes, the latter was nothing but a shrew lady who was very manipulative and he didn’t want to get manipulated at all.

He was going to take away little Ru…ehem…Little Luan away by hook or crook!

The shadow guards had made a separate tent for Master Wong considering his age as well as the fact that he was Mi Luan’s shifu.

Master Wong, however, was not moved at all. He just sat on the bog stone that was in the mid of the huge and wide ground. There he waited for Gu Li to bring him his little disciple back.

Almost a quarter of shichen passed as Master Wong waited at the same place but Gu Li didn’t come back. Master Wong’s heart was hung in the air the whole time. Many possibilities flashed in his mind.

His little disciple might have offended Gu Li unintentionally and seeing how hot-headed the latter was…was his little disciple alright?

He should have followed them.

Master Wong cursed himself. Just when he was about to go inside the forest to look for Gu Li and his little disciple, he saw a figure stepping out of the forest. Without even looking at the long pair of legs carefully, Master Wong used all his concentration and eyesight on finding a pair of short legs. However, he didn’t find any.

His eyes were immediately filled with wariness and he stood up from the large stone he was sitting on. While walking toward Gu Li, he still looked around and behind him thinking that his little disciple would step out any moment.

However, it never happened.

Master Wong’s face was solemn and his eyes were filled with anger as he for the first time looked at Gu Li and asked sharply

”Where is Littl…”

However even before he could complete his words, Gu Li’s sharper voice interrupted him and he spoke in a very low voice.

”Shut up.”

Master Wong flinched and his lips were pressed in a thin line. However, he was not afraid at all. He opened his mouth to speak again when his eyes suddenly fell on Gu Li’s arms.

He saw a small bulge and only then did he realize that Gu Li was perhaps holding something. He walked around him and then stood behind Gu Li immediately recognizing that the small bundle was none other than his little disciple.

He was deeply asleep.

However, this only made him more worried. His little disciple was although young but he would never fall asleep like this. 

So he was a little suspicious. However, before he could ask or try to find anything, he heard Gu Li’s low but cold voice again

”Don’t wake him up. He just got fever last night that’s why his body might be weak and he fell asleep.”

Master Wong’s suspicion flew away and his eyes went slightly wide on hearing that his little disciple got a fever last night.  

How, why…he wanted to ask many questions but as Gu Li said he didn’t want to wake his little disciple up. 

However, when he saw Gu Li taking his little disciple to a tent and not coming out for a long time, he furrowed his eyebrows and then a moment later, without any hesitation, he flipped the small cloth that was hanging and stepped inside the tent.
