Chapter 611 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan (8)

Seeing that he was so willing to learn everything, Gu Li was also happy to teach him. However, after he fought with Mi Luan with a stick for a few moments, Gu Li frowned suddenly.

He stopped and put down the stick in his hands as he looked at Mi Luan’s arms.

Mi Luan’s eyes were wide as he looked at Gu Li. He asked him as his clean black eyes blinked at Gu Li.

”Why did you stop?”

Gu Li thought that he sensed some kind of fear in Mi Luan’s voice and he couldn’t help but frown. Why was he scared! He never talked rudely with the little fella!

However, when he saw Mi Luan’s calm eyes, he thought that it must be his illusion. However, what he didn’t know was that he was very right.

Mi Luan was scared from the moment Gu Li stopped holding the stick. He thought that Gu Li no longer wishes to teach him.

His small fists clenched at this thought and he asked G Li again in a very calm and emotionless voice.

”Why did you just stop?”

In fact, he was ready to hear from Gu Li that he wouldn’t teach him. However, he was startled when Gu Li’s suddenly held his arms and said

”Your arms are weak.”

Mi Luan looked down at his arms with a started expression on his face and then at Gu Li.

A moment later, he whispered

”Ohhh”

However, his eyes were filled with disappointment because he thought that this was the reason, Gu Li was choosing not to teach him.  

But he was left startled by Gu Li again when he heard the latter saying

”We need to increase the strength of your arm.”

Mi Luan swiftly raised his head to look at Gu Li, completely unexpected to hear him say something like this.

He opened and closed his mouth to say something…something that Gu Li could never see as Mi Luan’s face was still covered very nicely.

Gu Li could only see Mi Luan’s eyes which were again calm and not bright like before. Gu Li didn’t seem to like it. He thought that perhaps the boy had started to give up so he immediately said

”Don’t worry, I will help you.”

However, Mi Luan suddenly pulled his hands away and said in a very serious voice.

”No need. I will do whatever you will tell me.”

Gu Li raised his eyebrows at his words. However, he was satisfied with the response. It seemed that the little fella was very eager to learn martial arts.  

A few minutes later, Mi Luan was standing with his arms raised in the air. Both of them had a small pot of water in their palms.

Gu Li watched him and said strictly

”You are not allowed to spill even a single drop of water also you can’t put your hands down until I told you to do so.”

”Yes”

Mi Luan’s eyes were on the pot of water as he vigorously nodded his head at Gu Li’s words. However, he stopped when he realized that his action was making the water almost spill from the pot. 

Gu Li felt amused watching this.

He turned around to take a look at the shadow guards who were practicing. After that, he walked toward them to make a round and check if someone was doing any wrong move.

After a round, he came back to where Mi Luan was standing.

Distress unconsciously flashed through his eyes when he saw beads of sweat forming on Mi Luan’s forehead.

The boy was too weak.

Gu Li thought inside his heart worriedly. It had been just five minutes since he had been holding those pots.

Gu Li steeled his heart and didn’t ask Mi Luan to put his hands down for another few minutes. It was only when he saw that Mi Luan’s hands were trembling he walked towards him and took the pots of water from both of his hands.

”Alright, relax.”

Mi Luan put his hands down as he said.

He obviously knew that he couldn’t hold it for long. His clear and calm eyes went towards the fighting shadow guards.

They were fighting for so long and they had done so much work before also. They were not sweating at all let alone breathing heavily. 

Gu Li followed his gaze.

If it had been one of the shadow guards of Youxio, he would have surely taunted him coldly. But since it was little fella, he was comparatively softer in his approach.

”It’s alright. You held it for a total of seven minutes. It’s a good time for a beginner.”

However, his own tone didn’t sound as convincing to him as he wanted it to be. Gu Li felt a little awkward.  

It was difficult for him to lie but the truth was that Mi Luan was really too weak.

Just when he thinking about how he should comfort little fella, he came out of his trance after hearing Mi Luan’s firm voice.

”Give me again.”

Gu Li saw him stretching both of his hands out. His eyes went to sweat formed on Mi Luan’s forehead. Steeling his heart, he put the pots of water on Mi Luan’s palms.

This time, Gu Li stood there as Mi Luan held the pots of water.

He could see that Mi Luan was trying harder to hold the pots for a long time. However, this time just after five minutes, Mi Luan’s arms started to tremble again.

Seeing this, Gu Li immediately walked toward him and picked the pots from his palms again.

Mi Luan put down his arms. His arms weakly hung down and he was breathing heavily. His forehead was covered with a new thin layer of sweat.

Gu Li frowned deeply when he saw this. He didn’t force Mi Luan to hold the pots again. Instead, he put them down somewhere and sat down on the ground in front of Mi Luan.

After that, he took Mi Luan’s arm and put both of them on his shoulders. His large hands pressed both of his arms gently.

Mi Luan immediately felt relieved from the pain he was feeling in his arms.

The shadow guards who were silently watching all this were again left baffled.

In the course of the past year, they had never received such treatment from senior brother Gu Li, In fact, they were sure that if one of them had been in Mi Luan’s place then Gu Li would have beaten them up by now for being so weak.

They came out of their trance when they suddenly saw Gu Li looking in their direction with a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

Almost all of them flinched and started practicing again.

They could only keep their grievances inside their hearts.
