His Rui

Chapter 612 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan (9)

　　That evening, Gu Li returned early from the practice with the shadow guards. The shadow guards looked happy but had bitter hearts.

　　They looked at Mi Luan whose hand was held by their senior brother Gu Li. Almost everyone of them knew that they were returning early because this little fella looked very tired after his short training of making his arms strong.

　　Sigh…Senior brother really favored this brat! It only evoked their curiosity more to know about this little fella.

　　After they reached the tents, Gu Li first went to greet his master.

　　The shadow guards also stayed outside the tent the old master was living in while Gu Li went inside.

　　Mi Luan stood more near the tent than them as Gu Li had left him standing there asking him strictly not to move from his place at all.

　　It was a few moments later, Gu Li stepped out of the tent but not alone. The old master also came out with him.

　　He looked at all the shadow guards expressionlessly but when his eyes went to Mi Luan who was standing near him he smiled softly.

　　"You look tired, Mi Luan."

　　Mi Luan had not expected that the old master would talk to him. The man had not said even a single word to him since yesterday.

　　So he blinked his eyes as he looked at the old master unable to find any word to say.

　　In the end, he just lowered his head silently. Gu Li frowned. He knew that Mi Luan spoke very less but he was afraid that the old master would find it rude.

　　So he looked at his master and explained

　　"Master, he trained today with others and that's why he is tired."

　　The old master smiled as he looked at Gu Li but his words were not as soft as his smile was.

　　"I think that I questioned Mi Luan."

　　Gu Li's body went stiff. He went silent for a moment before he finally said

　　"Master, Mi Luan doesn't speak much."

　　The shadow guards gaped at Gu Li. It was the first time they had seen Gu Li talking to the old master like this. Before in the past, he would always accept his mistake as long as the old master talked to him like this. But right now, he was indirectly arguing with the old master just to defend this little fella Mi Luan.

　　However, the old master didn't seem to mind Gu Li's change in behavior towards him. Instead, the smile on his lips was still there as he turned his head to look at Mi Luan from Gu Li as he said

　　"Sometimes it is necessary to speak. Being silent just because you don't wish to is not always a wise choice."

　　Gu Li lowered his head this time not saying anything but Mi Luan raised his head swiftly to look at the old master.       

　　The old master's words continued to ring in his ears as he looked into his eyes. They were mysterious…as if he could read his mind.

　　The old master went back to his tent a few moments later.   

　　Just when he went back inside his tent, tiny droplets from the sky started to fall on the ground.

　　And then it became large drops of water.

　　It was raining.

　　Everyone was surprised as the weather didn't give any indication of rain so it was very sudden. 

　　Gu Li remembered his master's words who had said that it will rain. He already knew it. However, he didn't feel any surprised at this. In fact, right now his eyes were on Mi Luan who was standing in the rain.

　　The boy looked weak so Gu Li was afraid that the cold water of the rain would make him sick.

　　Gu Li then looked towards the tent.

　　He had already looked for a cave nearby when his master had said that it would rain because he didn't want any danger to his master's health. Though his master was still very strong at this age because he had been a capable martial artist, he didn't wish to take any risk.

　　So now, Gu Li had to transfer two people to the wave but who should he take first!

　　A moment later, Gu Li's eyes roamed on the group of shadow guards and stayed on a person suddenly. He walked towards him and said

　　"There is a cave nearby. We will go there."

　　The shadow guard who was told had a very serious face when he heard Gu Li he nodded his head with the same expression on his face as he said

　　"Yes, Senior Brother."

　　Gu Li hurriedly went inside the tent and told his master the same. The tent had already started to go wet so it was not good to stay inside.

　　He picked a long sheet that was made from leaves and covered the old master's head with it. His eyes then went to Mi Luan who was calmly watching everyone picking this and that.

　　"Mi Luan."

　　Gu Li called out and when the little fella looked towards him, he signed her to come and stand under the shelter of leaves he had made for them.

　　Mi Luan silently walked to Gu Li's side and did as he was saying. The old master merely smiled and walked wherever Gu Li led them to.

　　There was indeed a huge cave after a walk of almost twenty minutes. Though Gu Li had already checked that the cave was already empty yesterday, he still asked a shadow guard to go inside and check once again.

　　After the shadow guard confirmed that it was empty, Gu Li led his master and Mi Luan inside the cave.

　　The shadow guards followed him a few moments later.

　　The fire was soon lit from some wood and the cave lightened with fire. The weather had gotten cold because of the rain. However, since almost all of them were martial artists, it didn't seem to affect them much. Even the old master looked completely unaffected by the sudden change of weather.

　　Perhaps that's why, when everyone heard the constant sound of teeth cluttering, they were startled.
