Chapter 607 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan(4)

　　It was after a quarter of a shichen that Gu Li finally left the forest with Mi Luan and walked towards the tents.

”Senior brother”

All the shadow guards surrounded him as soon as he walked to the cleared ground. Gu Li frowned and said strictly

”Why are you not resting? Was today not enough exhausting for you?”

Hearing his words, the shadow guard had pale faces and swallowed nervously. Of Course, today was very exhausting for them. The whole day they had gone through Gu Li’s ways of training them and it was very hard to survive through the difficult training.

How could they not be tired!

However, their curiosity was more than that exhaustion. Perhaps that’s why one of them gathered his courage and asked Gu Li

”Senior Brother, this boy…”

Who is he…

He had wanted to ask but when he saw Gu Li’s cold eyes, what came out of his mouth was

”Where will he sleep?”

The other shadow guards who were waiting for him to complete his question with a bated breath sighed in disappointment and shook their heads while pitying the cowardice of the other shadow guard.

However, the latter could only lower his head or smile sheepishly.

Gu Li frown disappear as he looked down at the young boy and said casually.

”He will sleep with me.”

The shadow guards nodded their heads with polite smiles on their faces. However, no one noticed how the little fella named ‘Mi Luan’ blinked his eyes on hearing Gu Li’s words.

”Alright alright…yes yes…”

Gu Li’s lips twitched as he looked at the shadow guards who were looking at each other and nodding their heads.

”I feel that all of you can do more hard work from tomorrow.”

The shadow guards had their eyes wide when they heard this. They looked at Gu Li with shocked faces and then disappeared from there as if their tails had gotten on fire.

Gu Li smiled coldly and shook his head in helplessness.

He held the small and soft hand firmly as he walked towards his tent in long strides without even noticing how the little fella almost had to run to compare with his speed of walking all this evening.

Inside the tent, Gu Li immediately lay down on the bed.

He frowned when he saw that the little fella was still standing.

”Why are you standing?”

He asked with a confused face. Mi Luan blinked as he looked at him and then at the bed before he said

”I don’t sleep with others.”

Gu Li’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the little fella. No his name was Mi Luan. He reminded himself. His lips twitched as he looked at his calm and composed face.

”Then young master, you can go and sleep outside wherever you wish.”

He said calmly as he made the bed without even looking at the little fella’s face. Gu Li was sure that soon the little fella would be walking towards the bed and lying down obediently.

After all, a child would be scared to sleep out inside such a dense forest where any wild animal could come!

However, Gu Li again forgets his own observation about Mi Luan!

Mi Luan was different from other children.

He raised his head only when he didn’t hear any response. His forehead had a frown when he didn’t see Mi Luan standing anywhere inside the tent.

Gu Li swiftly climbed down from the bed. Looking around the small tent once again, he cursed loudly and stepped outside in the cold air. 

The night was very cold inside the forest and it made panic emerge inside Gu Li’s heart unconsciously.

Where did the little fella go?

”Mi Luan”

Gu Li shouted loudly when he didn’t see Mi Luan outside anywhere around him.

”Mi Lua…”

He stopped amidst his word when he suddenly saw a sack moving. His sharp eyes immediately noticed this movement and he walked towards it.

Even before he reached near it, the figure lying under the empty sack uncovered itself and raised his small head to look at him. 

”Why are you shouting?’

Mi Luan asked Gu Li calmly.

However, Gu Li was not calm at all. His heart was filled with anger when he didn’t see Mi Luan inside the tent. He had thought of spanking the butt of the guy once he will find him.

But now seeing Mi Luan hiding his small figure with that empty sack to escape from the harsh cold, there was sudden tightness inside his chest.

He bent down to hold the little fella’s arm and he picked him up from the ground very easily with one hand.

”Where are you taking him?”

The little fella asked him and he told him calmly

”To the tent.”

”But I told you that I don’t sleep with others.”

Gu Li halted amidst his steps. He looked at Mi Luan silently for a few moments before he suddenly raised his hand and flicked his forehead.

Mi Luan didn’t even shout an ‘ouch’. He just frowned deeply as he rubbed the red spot on his forehead. 

Without saying anything else, Gu Li continued to walk toward the tent.

Inside the tent, he laid Mi Luan down on the bed. The bed was huge. Youxio’s people often traveled and this time they came to train the newbie. 

So they brought everything they would need. Though the mattress was not that soft, it was not that hard as well.

Mi Luan sat up on the bed. Gu Li looked at him with narrowed eyes but his expression relaxed when he didn’t see the little fella making any other movements.

He silently walked toward the other side of the bed and   

Gu Li picked up his pillow and then put it in just the mid of the bed.

Mi Luan looked at the pillow and then at him. He understood that Gu Li was making a partition. In other words, he was separating the portion they were to sleep on. 

However, he still couldn’t sleep here.

”I can sleep outside.”

This time, he said very softly as if he was trying to make a child understand something. However, Gu Li’s eyes were sharp when he raised his head to look at the little fella.   

The picture from a few moments ago flashed inside his mind. As he thought of Mi Luan sleeping covered with that sack, Gu Li could feel the anger bubbling up inside his chest.

”You are not going anywhere.”

He said fiercely.

Perhaps it was the first time the senior brother in Youxio lost his composure like this. However, he didn’t seem to realize it.

He looked at Mi Luan and continued coldly

”I promise you that if you tried to leave this tent, then I personally will tie you here with rope, and don’t think that you can run far enough that I will not be able to catch you.”

With that, he blew off the fire and lay down on the bed. Even in this darkness, Gu Li could see Mi Luan’s sitting figure on the bed. 

It was a few moments later, Mi Luan finally lay down on the bed.

Only then did Gu Li close his eyes.
