His Rui

Chapter 522 Xi Ling Came Back

Inside the garden of the Plum Courtyard, the three shadow guards scratched their bodies with their nails. However, regardless of how much they scratched, the itch didn't stop.

"F**k"

Gu Li cursed loudly while the other three did the same.

They almost wished to shed away the clothes that covered their body because the itch was just getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, they just wished to have so many hands that could help them in itching their body.

"Woman, just what did you throw at us?"

Gu Li asked Li Hua. His red eyes were filled with anger as he stared at her fixingly.

However, Li Hua didn't even look at him as she threw away the small spoon with which she was throwing the powder at the shadow guards.

The powder couldn't be touched with the hands.

A single touch was enough to make a person have a constant itching all over his body.

Li Hua's eyes were instead fixed at the leader of those shadow guards who was still pointing his sword at the old physician's neck.

The leader of Youxio, Xu Li looked towards the packet. His eyes flickered again when he carefully looked at it and then he looked at the three people present inside the room.

It was the same powder…he was very sure.

But from where did they get it?

For so many years, he has been trying to find the person who made this powder but he never found anything.

When had Xu Li thought that he would find something related to that person here!

Just at this moment, An Ju appeared inside the garden. Her eyes were filled with relief when she noticed that the three people inside the garden whom she wanted to protect were still safe.

However, when she saw the three shadow guards squirming on the ground, her eyes flashed with surprise as well as amazement.

What just happened when she was away!

Xu Li noticed An Ju's presence. The right thing at this moment for him was to find out where Xi Ling was left by An Ju.

However, to Xu Li this matter didn't seem to be that important at this moment.

At this moment, he found it more important to find out from where exactly they get that powder.

And he asked the same question coldly

"Where did you get this powder from?"

Li Hua frowned but didn't answer the question.

Xu Li frowned and he moved his sword from the old man to Li Hua as he seemed to see that she knew the answer to his question.

"Tell me."

However, lost in finding the answer to his question, he never noticed when Li Rui moved to stand behind him.

The next moment, he felt the pointy end of the dagger on his neck and heard Li Rui's calm and indifferent voice.

"Leave her if you don't wish to lose your life."

However, Xu Li just smiled coldly. Inside his heart, he really admired Li Rui's courage and fearless behavior.

Regardless of what kind of woman she, was in real life...she was a very courageous woman. He had not seen this kind of bravery in many women.

But he was also not afraid …at least losing his life was the last thing Xu Li worried about.

And he was a shadow guard. Xu Li had not gained the position of leader of Youxio just like that.

His speed was of course much better than Li Rui.

In less than a second, he swiftly turned around and avoided Li Rui's attack nicely.

His sword however now rested on Li Rui's neck as his hand held her firmly in his arms.

"My Lady"

"Madam…"

"Girl…"

Three shouts were heard inside the garden at a simultaneous time.

The three shadow guards who were still scratching their bodies on the ground couldn't help but feel happy.

They finally felt that their master was avenging them.

Just kill this woman and show everyone the consequences of trying to go against them.

However, Xu Li didn't kill Li Rui.

His hold on her was firm even though Li Rui never tried to move.

Even though she was momentarily shocked by the sudden change of situation, she looked calm and composed now.

"Now tell me who gave you this powder?"

Xu Li's question made Li Rui frown deeply.

He was asking the same question for the second time. She could sense that he really wanted to know who gave them that powder.

Li Rui's eyes flickered and she smiled lightly as she said

"Only I know where this powder comes from?"

Xu Li looked at Li Rui's head with a frown on his forehead. Was the woman stupid to tell him this information?

Did she even know that this information could make her his constant captive …at least until she won't tell him who gave her this powder?

However, he soon got to know why Li Rui told him this.

The next moment, she asked calmly

"But what will I get by telling you this?"

Xi Ling's eyes went sharp and cold instantly and he chuckled coldly as he whispered in Li Rui's in a deathly cold voice.

"Woman, you won't get anything by answering me but you will surely get something if you didn't answer me, want to know what it is? It will be your son's dead body."

Li Rui's eyes also went cold at these words. The smile on her lips was also very cold as she said

"You won't be able to find him in the first place."

She had just finished her words when she heard the door of the garden opening and Xi Ling's voice was heard.

"Mother…mother!"

Xu Li chuckled instantly and said mockingly

"Ha…your son is very wise."

While Li Rui's eyes widened in panic and fear.

Her eyes went to An Ju who also looked startled and panicked.

When An Ju looked into Li Rui's eyes, they were filled with regret and guilt. She understood that Li Rui was demanding an answer.

To the question …what was Xi Ling doing here!
