Chapter 615 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan(12)

  Outside the rain poured heavily.

  The shadow guards were standing under the shelter of dense trees that covered the fifty of them successfully.

  Though the tiny droplets would sometime slide down from the tree leaves, they were comparatively very safe from the rainwater.

  Gu Li paced anxiously under the tree.

  Many times he would raise his foot to go inside the cave but then he would stop again.

  He knew what it would mean if he went back inside the cave when his master had not asked him to enter. It would mean that he didn't trust him and Gu Li respected his master very much to let him think this.

  But he was very worried about Mi Luan also.

  Perhaps he should have never brought the boy back with him! At this moment, Gu Li realized how attached he was to Mi Luan.

  Gu Li didn't even know whether he regretted his move of bringing Mi Luan to Youxio or not. If he had not brought the boy back with him, then it was possible that he would have been in a worse condition right now.

  He might have been roaming in the jungle or perhaps have been hunted down by some wild animal.

  So he did a good thing by bringing him to Youxio. Gu Li told himself.

  Xiao Luan will be fine.

  This was the only way he could comfort himself.

  On the other hand inside the cave, the old master was now sitting on the cold ground near Mi Luan. His wrinkled hand touched Mi Luan's small fists that were clenching the knot of his robes so that no one would be able to open it.

  Sure enough, as soon his fingers touched Mi Luan's fists, he opened his eyes and looked at the old master whose figure was completely blurry to him.     

  "Your clothes need to be removed, Mi Luan."

  The old master said calmly as he tried to free the knot from Mi Luan's fist. However, Mi Luan held on to it with the little bit of strength his body had.

  "No….don't …."

  The old master stopped applying any force.

  He looked at Mi Luan who was struggling to keep his eyes open with profound eyes. A few moments later, he opened his mouth again and said something that made Mi Luan's body completely still and soon he freed the knot of his cloth from his fist.

  The old master stroked his forehead gently and then did what he needed to do.

  It was almost a whole shichen later that the old master appeared at the entrance of the cave again. The outside was completely dark. The rain had slowed down now but the weather was very cold.

  Gu Li's eyes were already fixed at the entrance of the cave so when he saw the old master, he didn't waste even a second running in his direction.

  "Master, how is Xiao Luan now?"

  He asked immediately,

  The old master smiled looking at Gu Li's worry-filled eyes. It was perhaps the first time, he had seen this kind of emotion in Gu Li's eyes since he had met him.

  "He is alright now."

  Saying this, the master stepped aside as if signing Gu Li to enter the cave and then see for himself.

  Gu Li again didn't waste time in doing so. He stepped inside the cave and walked towards Mi Luan who was now lying on a blanket and covered in another blanket.

  He was deeply asleep.

  His veil was still there.

  Gu Li walked forward and put his hand on Mi Luan's forehead. He sighed in relief when he realized that his body was less warm than before.   

  The other shadow guards also stepped inside the cave with the permission of the old master.

  When they saw that Gu Li looked relieved, they were also relieved.

  The old master warned everyone not to disturb Mi Luan's rest and everyone immediately nodded their heads.       

  Gu Li sat by Mi Luan's side for some time.

  After that, he walked to the old master who was now sitting in one corner and leaning against the wall.

  "Gu Li is grateful to Master."

  The old master raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Gu Li on hearing his words. He smiled as he said calmly.

  "No need. If it had been anyone else from Youxio, I would have done the same, Gu Li."

  Gu Li nodded his head knowing very well that what his master said was indeed right. Still, he was very thankful to the master today.

  His master …not only he gave him a new life after that horrible life but he also saved his Xiao Luan today. Gu Li didn't know what he would have done if his master had not been here.

  He would always be grateful to the old master.   

  Everyone ate the fruits, Rong Ting had brought except for Gu Li and Mi Luan. The latter couldn't eat because he was unconscious and the former didn't feel any hunger.

  The rain stopped by midnight.

  Gu Li left the cave for some time. He asked his master what Mi Luan should eat at such a time. On hearing that the fruits will be good, Gu Li brought more fruits.

  He was happy to see that when he returned Mi Luan was awake and leaning against the wall while the old master helped him in drinking the water little by little.

  However, his smile dropped when he remembered how he had struggled when he had wanted to remove his clothes.

  Gu Li walked to Mi Luan with an expressionless face. After the old master had helped him in quenching his thirst, Gu Li stuffed the fruits in Mi Luan's hands.

  "Here, eat this." 

    He said coldly.

  The shadow guards who heard Gu Li's cold voice when he said this to Mi Luan were baffled. It was not only they who noticed this.

  Even Mi Luan noticed this.

  His clean black eyes were calm as he looked at Gu Li but his continuous stare expressed his confusion.

  Only the old master seemed to have found something amusing in this situation as he continued to smile.

  Gu Li's eyes were sharp when he noticed that he was still not eating the fruit so he said mockingly

  "Now don't tell me that you are shy to even eat in front of me."

  Saying this, he hmphed and stood up from there to leave.
