His Rui

Chapter 651 Gu Li’s Interest In An Ju

Li Rui didn’t say anything and Gu Li nodded his head calmly at Xi Ying’s words. He didn’t mind Xi Ying’s suspicion. 

In fact, he felt happy that he was this cautious. After all, the one who wanted Li Rui’s and Xi Ling’s life was the Emperor of Xin. 

He could never put his guards down. About the lack of trust, he believed that he and his people will earn it on their own. 

Xi Ling was happy on getting the permission of his father and mother. 

He hugged his mother’s stomach gently and then his father quite tightly with a bright smile on his lips.

”Mother, Xiao Ling will return soon.”

Xi Ling said brightly and then ran to Gu Li. An Su who had already heard his master’s words also appeared there instantly and together they left from there. 

Just after they left, An Zhi and An Si along with the shadow guards who had left with them appeared in front of Xi Ying and Li Rui. 

There were six more people with them. Two old, three middle-aged, and the other two very young. 

Almost all of them looked frightened except one.

”Girl…”

The old physician who had just landed on the earth after so many shichens of being in the sky ran to Li Rui. 

He had disheveled hair and his clothes were also a great mess…torn from here and there because of the heavy wind that had been blowing on the way. 

However, without caring for anything else, the old physician asked Li Rui

”Girl, are you alright? You left so suddenly and no one in the manor told this old many anything. This old man had been so worried. Stretch your hand out…”

He said and when Li Rui did as he said he immediately took her pulse. 

When he felt that everything was alright, only then did he heave a sigh of relief. 

Xi Ying who noticed the old physician’s expressions also felt relieved on knowing that Rui was alright. 

Only now did he realize that he should have brought the old physician with him. He should have been there for Li Rui if anything had happened just in case. 

Fortunately, he was here now.   

”Girl, what happened? Young Man, is everything alright?”

The old physician asked Xi Ying quickly after he was relieved that Li Rui was alright. As he asked, he didn’t forget to look around and when he saw so many unfamiliar faces, he shouted before even getting an answer 

”Damn…did they kidnap the two of you?”

The old physician glared at all the unfamiliar faces and then turned to ask Li Rui again.

”Girl, where is the young brat? Don’t tell me that he is missing.”

The old physician looked very anxious and worried. Actually, An San and An Si never told him anything, They just told him that they needed to gather six physicians out of which one was he himself. 

He helped them in gathering those physicians but the whole way, he was very worried because he thought that something to either Xi Ying or Li Rui or the small brat.

That’s why he never complained when An San and An Si used the highest speed to carry them here. 

No matter how much his head hurt because of the heavy cold wind, he never complained. 

Because he also wanted to reach them as soon as possible. 

”No one abducted us, Grandpa.”

Li Rui said to the old physician gently making him confused. 

”Everything is alright, don’t worry.”

She continued and then looked at Rong Ting.

”Brother Rong Ting, do we have some vacant tents where Grandpa and all these people can rest for some time.”

Rong Ting immediately nodded his head and signed that he could lead the way. 

The old physician didn’t want to leave but his head was also hurting too much. He knew that his body needed rest. 

So he just asked the last question he had after Li Rui had assured him that everything was alright.

”Where is Xiao Ling?”

”He has gone to visit the valley.” 

  The old physician nodded his head and only then did he follow Rong Ting. However, he had just taken a step when he noticed that other physicians were not following him. 

So he turned around  to look at their frightened face and tsk in distaste and said 

”All of you look as if the snake is around your necks. Come and follow me. As long as I am here no one can harm any one of you.”

Xi Ying’s lips twitched as he remembered the old physician had been looking more afraid when he had come to know that he was in Xi Manor and he no longer could go out because of the secrets he knew. 

At the same time, a few shadow guards laughed secretly at the old physician’s words. They could feel that the old man was not a martial artist. 

So they wondered on what basis he was saying these words. 

Fortunately,, the old man was too tired to find what they were laughing at and silently went to the tent to rest. 

When Gu Li came back with Xi Ling after almost a shichen, Rong Ting told him everything. 

Gu Li was happy to know that the physicians Li Rui needed to treat his master were already here. 

He ordered Rong Ting that all the physicians should not face any discomfort as he noticed Xi Ling running happily to Li Rui with a small smile on his lips. 

”Where is An Su?”

Gu Li stopped talking to Rong Ting when he heard the cold but familiar voice. His eyes flashed with interest when he saw that it was none other than the shadow guard of Xi Ying with whom he had fought outside Plum Courtyard. 

An Ju was looking at Gu Li with cold eyes. 

When she noticed that he was not answering her question, her eyes sharpened and she asked him again but more coldly this time.

”I asked you where is An Su. If you don’t want me to take out my sword and create some drama here then you should answer my question as soon as I finish speaking.”

Gu Li raised his hand to dismiss Rong Ting and looked At An Ju with raised eyebrows 

”Are not you too aggressive, little shadow guard?”

An Ju frowned at the way he called her but didn’t bother to correct him. To her, the more important thing was to know where was An Su so she told him one last time. 

”Since you are not telling me, I shall just go and inform my master that I can’t find An Su.”

Gu Li sighed when he saw her turning around to leave and immediately held her hand to stop her. 

And this scene just happened to fall in front of An Si’s eyes who had just stepped out of the tent after resting for a few hours.
