Chapter 622 Mi Luan Has A Scar On His Face?!

　　His other hand was near Mi Luan's veil. Master Wong's eyes widened when he saw this as he thought that Gu Li was trying to remove the veil from his little disciple's face.

　　So he said firmly but in a low voice

　　"Mister Gu Li, my little disciple doesn't like anyone to see his face without his permission."

　　Gu Li's eyes narrowed and he pulled his hand away. 

　　No one has ever dared to intrude in his tent without his permission so Master Wong's actions surely angered him. However, his anger only increased after hearing his words.

　　Why can't he see Mi Luan's face? He wanted to see it so that he would be able to find him even if his shifu took him away though he would not let this happen?

　　He had thought that he would sneakily look at Mi Luan's face as the latter was deeply asleep and then cover his face again.

　　However, just when he was about to get successful, the so-called shifu of his Xiao Luan stepped inside his tent.

　　As much as Gu Li was a little embarrassed because of being caught, he was a little angry and scared as well. What if Master Wong told Mi Luan about this and Mi Luan started to stay guarded around him. He never wanted that.

　　So Gu Li's eyes were cold as if he was trying to scare Master Wong into ensuring that he would never dare to talk about this matter in front of Mi Luan. On the other hand, Master Wong was relieved that he arrived at the right time.

　　What if Gu Li had seen his little disciple's face! It would have been difficult to run away from Youxio for them.

　　Thinking this, he glared at the young shadow guard and asked with narrowed eyes

　　"What were you doing just now?"

　　Gu Li raised his eyebrows on seeing the middle-aged master's courage which soon disappeared at his cold and sharp but honest answer. 

　　"I was trying to look at Xiao Luan's face. Why did you stop me?"

　　Master Wong stared at him with a baffled expression on his face. How could he accept it so easily when he was literally trying to see his little disciple's face when the latter was asleep!

　　He opened and closed his mouth to say something and came up with an answer a few moments later.

　　"You can't do that."

　　"Why so?"

　　Gu Li asked coldly and Master Wong looked here and there to cook up some kind of excuse.

　　"Little Luan doesn't like anyone to see his face."

　　In fact, his little disciple always had his face covered. Only he had seen his beautiful face but only once. Master Wong came out of his trance when he heard Gu Li asking him coldly

　　"Why?"

　　Gu Li was indeed curious why Mi Luan didn't show his face to others. He had seen how reluctant he was yesternight when he had tried to remove the wet veil from his face.

　　Master Wong was again silent for a moment. With a deep breath, he told Gu Li what he and his little disciple used to tell others.

　　"He had a scar on his face…on the lower part. That's why he doesn't like to show face to others."

　　Gu Li's eyes were deathly cold and his fists were clenched tightly. He had never imagined that his Xiao Luan would have such a reason for hiding his face behind the veil.

　　A scar…could it be from wire or some wound…if it was then he must have been hurt and must be in pain when he had got it.

　　His eyes unconsciously went to the small bundle lying on the bed and without looking at Master Wong, he asked coldly but in a low voice as if he was afraid to wake Mi Luan up.

　　"How did he get it?"

　　Master Wong swallowed as he didn't have an answer to this question. He was not imaginative and creative enough to cook up some kind of story then and there so he just said

　　"I don't know."

　　Gu Li's eyes narrowed and he looked at Master Wong's face as if trying to confirm that he was not lying to him. But Master Wong's blank face didn't tell him anything.

　　At the same time, the scene of that day flashed in front of his eyes when Mi Luan was chased by that man who had wanted to kill him.

　　Gu Li wondered whether Xiao Luan had been attacked before that day also because he didn't look afraid at all that day.

　　That calmness he could have it only when he had been through that kind of thing before also. His heart clenched in distress and pain at this thought. He was so young. Why would anyone want to kill him?

　　Gu Li regretted that he killed that man that day. If he had kept him alive, then perhaps he would have been able to find something from the man. 

　　But he had already concluded inside his heart that it must be because of one of those attacks that Mi Luan got such a scar on his face that he didn't want to show his face to others. But he didn't need to do it.

　　Gu Li decided that he would talk to Mi Luan about it. His Mi Luan …doesn't matter how he looked, he would never need to hide his face from anyone or run away showing his back from anyone as long as he had him as his Elder Brother.

　　His mood was bad after knowing all this. He no longer wished to talk to anyone so he said to Master Wong with a deep frown on his forehead

　　"Leave."

　　Master Wong frowned and said instantly.

　　"What leave?"

　　Seeing Gu Li's cold face, he smiled sheepishly and changed his words, and said in a more polite tone. The middle-aged master knew when he needed to advance and when he needed to retreat.

　　"I mean…Mister Li, let's leave together. You will also need to leave the tent, right? Let Little Luan have his rest since he had been sick yesterday."

　　However, Master Wong froze when he heard Gu Li saying

　　"I shall sleep with Xiao Luan."

　　After that, the young shadow guard pointed his finger at Master Wong's face and said coldly

　　"You …leave."
