His Rui

Chapter 634 The Attack

　　Everyone was confused when they saw the shadow guards lying down on the ground and scratching their bodies like maniacs.

　　"What did you sprinkle?"

　　One of the shadow guards asked Mi Luan who stepped away from them calmly and never answered his question.

　　The old master looked at the small packet that was in Mi Luan's hands and smiled calmly. Gu Li who was still confused wanted to ask questions but before he could, Master Wong who could no longer hide when he didn't know whether his little disciple was safe or not appeared there suddenly.

　　"Little…Luan, are you alright?"

　　Master Wong who almost spoke Mi Luan's real name at this moment changed his words at right time and ran toward him

　　"Are you alright? You didn't get injured, right?"

　　"I am alright, Shifu"

　　Mi Luan told his Shifu calmly. Master Wong heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes flickered with pride when he suddenly saw the crawling shadow guards on the ground.

　　"Hahah…Little Luan did you use that on them?"

　　Mi Luan nodded his head calmly and Master Wong chuckled again.

　　Looking at everyone's confused face, he explained

　　"It is something that Little Luan made on his own. Now they will be like this for almost a shichen and slowly their body will be paralyzed for a day. You can do whatever you want to do with them if you don't want to face any trouble or resistance."

　　The shadow guards looked at Mi Luan with surprise and admiration-filled eyes.

　　They were surprised that Mi Luan made this powder on his own. On the other hand, Gu Li's face was blank because he suddenly seemed to remember all the praises Master Wong had sung for his little disciple's medicinal talent in front of him.

　　To divert his thoughts, Gu Li looked at the enemies shadow guards and his eyes narrowed when he noticed the embroidered mark on their robes.

　　"They are sent from the Imperial City." 

　　The old master spoke out his thoughts loudly and Gu Li as well as other shadow guards had cold eyes.

　　Mi Luan's ears perked up on hearing the mention of the Imperial City while Master Wong looked as if this was bound to happen.

　　Though the Emperor had not started any investigation to find Youxio in the past few years after ascending the throne, Youxio was still a criminal organization in Xin.

　　"Did you cover the eyes of those physicians when you had brought them and left them back?"

　　Gu Li asked his shadow guards coldly who immediately nodded their heads. However, the old master knew that this was not the origin of the problem.

　　"They didn't need to know the exact place. They knew that we were inside the forest. They needed only a few days to find us out." 

　　Gu Li's head lowered at these words as he knew that his master was right. Because he had been too scared on seeing his master's situation that day, he didn't see that his actions could put them in danger.

　　However, the old master never blamed Gu Li.

　　Instead, he looked at Mi Luan. Patting his shoulder, he asked him

　　"Are you sure that they won't be able to do anything?"

　　Mi Luan immediately nodded his head so the old master ordered everyone to go back inside their tent and rest saying that they will manage these shadow guards in the morning. 

　　On hearing his order, everyone went back to their tents.

　　"Senior brother."

　　Mi Luan who had finally found Gu Li now wanted to talk to him. However, Gu Li who already knew what he wanted to talk about immediately spoke strictly.

　　"We won't be talking about that matter anymore." 

　　The old master who was standing there saw this scene. He looked at Mi Luan and Master Wong's awkward expressions and could only sigh before he also left for his tent.

　　He knew that Gu Li needed some time to accept all this. If it was needed, then he would talk to his disciple.

　　On the other hand, Master Wong was sad to see how Gu Li shut his little disciple up. He sent his little disciple to the tent and then looked at Gu Li with narrowed eyes

　　"You better not talk to my little disciple that way again, Mister Gu Li."

　　Even he as his Shifu has never talked to him like this. His little disciple was after all very sensible. He never gave him chance to complain about him.

　　So he couldn't bear to see Gu Li scolding him like this.

　　This time even when Gu Li looked at him coldly, Master Wong didn't cower. He didn't know how but he would suddenly get all the courage whenever it was about his little disciple.

　　"Also, he is leaving with me tomorrow."

　　"He is not."

　　Gu Li said sharply. But this time Master Wong had already prepared himself to argue with him. 

　　"And why not? Because he is not safe outside Youxio? I don't think that he is safe here as well. Your Youxio just got attacked, Mister Gu Li."

　　"Yours is an organization that is declared criminal in Xin. Do you want my little Luan to be treated as a criminal as well? Unfortunately, I am not going to let you do that if you wish that to happen."

　　Master Wong scrutinized Gu Li's expression.

　　His words seemed to be working. He thought silently inside his heart as he looked at Gu Li's cold eyes but his clenched fists.

　　The young shadow guard was indeed thinking about them.

　　So this time, he continued softly

　　"You think that Gu Li is not safe with his family but it is his family only who has protected him all these years. He got attacked because he is out and from what I know, this was also his wish. You don't know but in the village, he had two girls who constantly care for him and they have been worried sick since he left. Beyond this forest, he also has people who care about him and would sacrifice their lives to keep him safe. You need to let him leave with me, Mister Gu Li."

　　Finishing his words, he finally waited for Gu Li to say something, however, the young shadow guard said nothing and walked back to his tent leaving him standing there alone with an anxious face.
