Chapter 642 Why Did Youxio Changed?!
”Master got injured too suddenly. I was looking everywhere for some good physician who could treat him but I didn’t find any capable one who could help us. One day, I came to know from an old physician that only you could treat him. He took Mi Luan’s name but he said that I would never be able to find you because no one has ever seen you. In the end, I tried to find you…Mi Luan.”Gu Li said in an emotionless voice.
All the turbulent emotions were suppressed by him under that cold face of his.
At that time, he regretted that he didn’t have any information regarding Mi Luan so that he would be able to find him.
”But in the end, he had said right. I couldn’t find you …until today,”
”Mister Gu Li…”
Xi Ying looked at Gu Li and said coldly
”What my wife wants to know is why you suddenly started to kill innocent people instead of how and why you decided to find her.”
Gu Li looked at Xi Ying. He understood that Xi Ying didn’t want Li Rui to go to treat his master with him and his people.
He also could understand why he wanted this and he didn’t even know if he should blame him for this. He could only try to assure him that he would never let any harm come to his Xiao Luan.
Xiao Luan was very precious to him …in any form. Whether a boy or a girl. He would protect him with his life or he should say her.
”When I couldn’t find you …I decided to go to Yantun Valley.”
Xi Ying’s, as well as Li Rui’s face, changed as they heard Gu Li continuing
”After so many days…almost a month of wandering around in that valley I finally found the gate of their place but I was not allowed to go inside. Another month, I spent just wandering outside the gate where I pleaded with them to let me inside. I described the condition of Master to them again and again hoping that they will find it unique and take him in to treat him. But no one responded.”
A different kind of silence enveloped the room at this moment.
Li Rui’s eyes were strangely cold as she heard whatever Gu Li told her and Xi Ying was now trying to connect the dots. He had an intuition that Youxio had this big reason to suddenly change their ways.
They were an organization for the poor before. Those poor people whose lives they changed, were ready to give their life for the existence of Youxio.
If anyone ever dared to badmouth them, they could kill that person.
The only reason it was a taboo topic in Xin was that these people killed those officials who were corrupted illegally in the eyes of the laws implemented by the Imperial Clan in the whole empire.
So why would they suddenly change?
It was after a few moments, Gu Li spoke again surprising Li Rui and Xi Ying completely.
”The door opened …after a month and fifteen days. I didn’t feel any relief. I didn’t even know if by that time Master was still….”
Gu Li couldn’t complete his words.
The shadow guards standing behind him had red eyes. Rong Ting stepped forward and placed his hand on Gu Li’s shoulder silently trying to tell him that he was not alone in all this.
He still remembers how his senior brother had looked after he had returned from the Yantun valley. He looked as if he could collapse at any moment.
After that, their whole life changed.
”They told me that they would take my master to treat inside their valley. However…they asked me to collect ten million gold tales for that. They wanted it as their fees for treating the master.”
’Ten million gold tales…’
Li Rui whispered as her eyes went sharper and colder.
It was not that it was her first time to hear the name of Yantun valley and the unreasonable demands of the people who lived there. Perhaps this was the reason that she could never come to respect them even after knowing how great their talent was.
”I returned but I promised them that I will collect the money and soon go back there with Master. However, we didn’t have that much money. When I got to know that Master would not be able to survive for a long time in an unconscious state, then I could only start to take as many jobs from the people…and the only job that we did was …to kill people.”
Gu Li finished in an emotionless voice.
He looked at Xi Ying and continued
”Prime Minister Xi, you might feel unsafe to let Rui go with us. However, the only thing I can do is assure you that no one will ever dare to harm her in my organization. Even if she would not have been Mi Luan, we still don’t wish to dirty Youxio’s name …with the blood of a pregnant woman. A few principles are still there in Youxio and my people would never break them.”
Xi Ying’s eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked at Gu Li. No one could understand what was he thinking inside his mind …whether he was even hearing Gu Li seriously or not.
A moment later, he just left the dining room silently.
And Li Rui followed him hurriedly.

Outside when Xi Ying was walking past the living room, he frowned feeling someone walking behind him. He knew very well who it was.
Honestly, at this moment, he just wanted to leave Xi Manor because he didn’t know what he should do. He was afraid that if he stayed here then he would take some wrong decision that would put his wife and their child in danger.
In the past few days, his wrong decisions had managed to bring down his confidence to the point that now he was thinking hundred times before taking any decision regarding Li Rui.
They were stuck…in a very dirty mud. They had to move wisely because one wrong step could result in them sinking deeper into that mud.
So he wanted to think over this matter. He wanted to think in which direction they should move. But he also knew the persistence of his wife. She would not leave him until he would say ‘yes’.
And in such a condition, he didn’t want her to take any stress especially because of him.
Xi Ying topped walking very suddenly. However, when had he thought that this will result in a comparatively small frame than him in colliding against his back!
