His Rui

Chapter 619 Mi Luan Won't Leave

　　Neither could he move from his spot nor could he open his mouth to stop Mi Luan from leaving. But he didn't want Mi Luan to leave from here.

　　What kind of excuse he could use to stop him?

　　Gu Li came up with one after a long thinking and he said it instantly

　　"Xiao Luan can't leave. His life is in danger."

　　Master Wong who heard Gu Li's words frowned in confusion and looked at Mi Luan suddenly as he whispered

　　Him….?

　　When Mi Luan blinked thrice, Master Wong's eyes widened but he composed his expression soon as if he was worried that someone would notice him. 

　　He merely blinked in assurance. After that, he finally concentrated on what Gu Li said just now. 

　　Now, Master Wong might be feeling intimidated by Gu Li because of the latter's cold and indifferent aura but when it was the question of his little disciple, especially this little disciple whom he cherished a lot, he would not feel scared of anyone.

　　So he immediately turned around to look at Gu Li and said firmly with narrowed eyes. 

　　"You are right. His life is in danger and that's exactly why he should leave from here."

　　Gu Li raised his eyebrows on seeing the sudden courage in Master Wong. However, his insides were a mess. His fists were clenched tightly. It could be seen just how unwilling he was to send Mi Luan away.

　　Actually, Gu Li had many thoughts to defend himself.

　　Mi Luan had been missing for two and a half-day for his people but the only person who came to look for him until now had been his master only.

　　No one else came to look for him. There could only be two reasons behind it.

　　Either he didn't have any other family member other than this middle-aged master of his or his family members didn't care about him at all.

　　Both the reason made Gu Li look reasonable in his own eyes that he should keep Mi Luan with him.

　　The middle-aged master looked weak and unable to protect Mi Luan. And there was no guarantee until when he would live. What will happen to his Mi Luan after the death of Master Wong.

　　So Mi Luan should stay with him. That way, he would always be there to take care of him.

　　Thinking about all this, Gu Li said to Master Wong arrogantly.

　　"Since his life is in danger, Youxio is the safest place for him. Here …no one would dare to attack him as long as I am with him."

　　Master Wong's eyes flickered wildly and he looked at Gu Li as if he had seen some kind of ghost.

　　"Youxio."

　　His whisper had all the dread it could have. It was visible from his pale face just how much he dreaded the mere name of Youxio. 

　　Youxio …at that time it was an organization that ordinary people treated as an organization of godsend people. Because the people of the organization killed the corrupted officials of the Imperial City and then distributed the wealth of those corrupted officials to the poor people after separating their own gain from it.

　　Still, people were also afraid of this name as having any kind of relationship or even uttering the name of this organization was banned in Xin by the Emperor's order who had been working to find them out and punish all of them even before ascended the throne.

　　Gu Li only felt amused on seeing the old man's reaction while the other shadow guards had a proud but cold smile on their lips.

　　One of them even walked forward and put his hand around Master Wing's shoulder who flinched at the contact but the shadow guard held his arms tightly in a grip and said

　　"Yes, Youxio. Master Wong. Ever heard the name before…"

　　"Y…yes."

　　Master Wong stuttered in a daze. 

　　The shadow guard smiled playfully as he said

　　"Then Master Wong must be happy on meeting these popular shadow guards of Youxio, right?"

　　Master Wong immediately wanted to shake his head in 'no'. Why would he be happy on meeting them? If someone got to know about this, then he would be granted an execution at some public place.

　　At this moment, he just wanted to run away from there with his little disciple. But he had to nod his head and say 'yes' when he saw the shadow guard's expression as if he was waiting for his answer. 

　　"It's great then."

　　The shadow guard pulled his arm away from Master Wong with the same playful smile on his lips. However, Master Wong's body was still very still and he didn't dare to move even an inch as if he was afraid that he would be cut by their sword right away if he did so.

　　Gu Li was satisfied with seeing the fear and panic in his eyes. After all, he had not mentioned the name 'Youxio' in waste.

　　He knew the fear of Youxio in people's minds. Although they had never tried to engrave this fear, it had been in people's minds always and he had never thought that he would be able to use this fear one day.

　　Today, he would use this fear of Master Wong to keep Mi Luan.

　　"Mi Luan would stay here."

　　He said coldly and firmly. Master Wong who had a still body swiftly turned his head to look at Gu Li. His eyes were wide and he immediately opened his mouth to disagree when he heard his little disciple's voice

　　"Shifu, Mi Luan also wants to stay here and learn martial arts."

　　Gu Li's eyes brightened in hearing Mi Luan's words while master Wong's face went emotionless.

　　Inside his heart, he was crying. 

　　Little ancestor, do you even know how your father will cook me alive if he got to know about all this!

　　However, he could only express his despair silently and alone inside his heart while Gu Li started to make arrangements for tonight's dinner happily.

　　He was happy because Mi Luan was not going anywhere. He would stay here and he would learn martial arts.
