His Rui

Chapter 625 Bitten By Snake

　　He was also relieved that Mi Luan was at least thinking of leaving from here. But forty-five days were too long. 

　　"What about the two bodyguards you had left behind? They would soon send this news to your father that you are not in the village."

　　Mi Luan's eyes also flashed with concern when he heard his master's words.

　　It took him a few moments to come up with a solution.

　　"Shifu should go back and assure them I am alright."

　　Master Wong immediately shook his head saying that he can't leave Mi Luan here. However, Mi Luan took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and said calmly

　　"Shifu, give this to them and assure them that I am alright. I will be back in a few days. I really want to learn this, Shifu otherwise I might not be able to live in this world long."

　　Master Wong's eyes widened with shock and panic. He could see from Mi Luan's calm face that what Mi Luan was telling him was true.

　　He could feel that Mi Luan seemed to know something about this attack he didn't. Perhaps he had been attacked before and he couldn't find it impossible knowing his background.

　　The middle-aged master was now worried but more than that he was conflicted inside his heart. He didn't know what he should do. Should he leave Mi Luan here?

　　If Mi Luan was saying the truth then he really needed to learn how to protect himself and perhaps other than Youxio no one else could be better in this. 

　　But if he left Mi Luan here, then would he really be safe amidst these people who killed anyone who offended them?

　　Master Wong didn't take the handkerchief from Mi Luan and went inside his tent to sleep.

　　However, the whole he couldn't sleep at all and continued to think about what Mi Luan said to him.

　　.

　　The next morning, Gu Li was surprised when he saw Master Wong stepping out of the tent with a small bundle in his hands.

　　Mi Luan who was standing beside him immediately ran toward his shifu and asked him.

　　"Are you leaving?"

　　Gu Li's ears perked up and his eyes immediately went bright.

　　"Yes."

　　When Master Wong said this, he clenched his fists tightly in excitement. Seeing how Mi Luan went silent, he thought that the master and disciple might have something to talk about so he decided to leave them alone for some time.

　　Master Wong saw that Gu Li had left and said to Mi Luan.

　　"Give me that handkerchief."

　　Mi Luan immediately took his handkerchief and handed him.

　　Master Wong carefully put it inside his small bundle and then said to Mi Luan with a serious face.

　　"After forty days, I will come back to take you away with me."

　　  Mi Luan's eyes were calm and it took him a moment to nod his head in agreement. Master Wong sighed in relief.

　　He was still reluctant to leave him alone here but the whole night, he had thought it over. 

　　He knew very well that his little disciple had not seen the world much because he was restricted too much by his father. He would always have people around him constantly keeping an eye on him as if he was some sort of criminal.

　　It was only this thought that made him leave Mi Luan here alone. It was the first time he was asking for something from him. How could he not fulfill his favorite disciple's wish!

　　Let him stay free and do what he wants for the next few days then he will be back to live his boring life back in his city!

　　He would have stayed with Mi Luan but he knew that if he also stayed and didn't go back to assure those two people that Mi Luan was alright then Mi Luan would not be able to stay here for long.

　　So he needed to go back. 

　　Gu Li returned just at that moment and Master Wong decided to leave. Before leaving when he walked past by Gu Li, he couldn't help but say to him seriously

　　"Take care of him. If you harmed even a single strand of hair of him then I shall show what I am capable of."

　　Gu Li rolled his eyes. The middle-aged master must have some kind of problem in his brain. He would never harm Xiao Luan. 

　　He merely nodded his head when he saw that Mi Luan was looking at him. However, Master Wong who noticed this was really relieved.

　　He cared for Mi Luan. That's what he concluded in the past few days. He just wished that his conclusion was right and Mi Luan would be safe by the time he would return.

　　With all kinds of thoughts, Master Wong left the tents.

　　Gu Li's lips immediately carried a smile as he looked at the dense forest where Master had disappeared into. 

　　Master Wong had come to take away Mi Luan and since he left alone then it only meant that Mi Luan was not going away.

　　If only he knew the agreement between his Xiao Luan and his shifu, then he would not have been smiling like this.

　　The next month passed like a wind. This month, Mi Luan learned a lot of things. The most important thing was that now he had learned that the sword was held by one hand and he had also learned the proper way of holding it.

　　However, he was still far away from learning how to fight his enemies.

　　Mi Luan was trying to learn everything he could but no one could master the art of fighting with a sword just in a month.

　　Still, every day, he will wake up early and then train with other shadow guards for a whole day. Gu Li would forcefully make him take small breaks.

　　The persistence of Mi Luan had now started to worry him and he was unable to understand why Mi Luan was in so much hurry to learn this. 

　　However, he only thought that it was just the eagerness of Mi Luan as a child. On the other hand, the other shadow guards had started to admire Mi Luan.

　　Before they wanted him to stay because their senior brother wanted the same but now they have come to admire seeing him so persistent despite his young age. 

　　Whenever they would get a chance, they would try to tell Mi Luan what he could do to learn easily, they would share their childhood stories with him and Mi Luan would listen to them calmly.

　　The shadow guards had come to like this sensible and silent child.

　　As a result, now Mi Luan was becoming the most adorable and youngest member of Youxio. 

　　It was during one evening when they returned after a long day of training and Gu Li just like any other evening first went to his master's tent to see him.

　　However, when he came out, his face was pale and his eyes were red and wide.

　　He looked at Rong Ting and said in a hoarse voice.

　　"Rong Ting, go and search for a doctor."

　　His words alarmed every shadow guard and many asked in chorus what happened. Gu Li had never stuttered in his life but today he did.

　　"M..Master has been bitten by a snake. He is unconscious now. I d…don't know how long it has been already."

　　The shadow guards had grim and cold faces on hearing this. However, many of them immediately flew away to look for a physician.

　　Gu Li was about to do the same when he saw Mi Luan running inside the old master's tent.

　　"Xiao Luan."

　　He shouted to stop him but Mi Luan didn't listen to him and stepped inside the tent without any hesitation.
