His Rui

Chapter 626 No One Believes Mi Luan

　　Gu Li followed Mi Luan to the tent immediately. When he was inside the tent, he saw Mi Luan sitting on the bed where his master was lying.

His eyes were closed and some kind of white foam was coming out of his mouth.

Gu Li was scared that such a scene would frighten Mi Luan so he hurriedly covered his eyes and picked him up from the bed.

”Elder Brother, put me down.”

Mi Luan said from Gu Li’s arms. However, Gu Li didn’t listen to him and stepped out of the tent with him.

Only when they were out of the tent, he put Mi Luan down on the ground and said strictly

”You are not allowed to go inside.”

After that, he didn’t give any chance to Mi Luan to say anything and looked at Rong Ting.

”Rong Ting, stay here. Don’t let Xiao Luna wander around. I will be back with a capable physician soon.”

”Yes, Senior brother.”

Rong Ting said respectfully and Gu Li was about to fly away when he heard Mi Luan calling him.

”Elder Brother” 

Gu Li was in hurry but he still turned around and looked at Mi Luan wondering what he had to say.

Mi Luan looked calm as he told him

”I can save Master. You don’t need to go anywhere.”

Gu Li frowned deeply. He obviously didn’t believe Mi Luan. Instead, he looked confused as to why Mi Luan was behaving like this in such circumstances when he had always been so sensible.

He only thought that he was still young so he didn’t know the seriousness of the current circumstances. So he said

”Xiao Luan. I will be back soon, Don’t run around. Saying this, he turned around to leave again. However, this time, Mi Luan looked anxious and ran towards him saying again

”Elder Brother, Believe me. We just need a herb and it can be easily found in the forest. Take me somewhere where thee river or some water sou…”

”Mi Luan.”

Gu Li’s face was as cold as his voice this time. His eyes were still red and strict now when he looked at Mi Luan. It was obvious that he was displeased by Mi Luan’s behavior. According to him, Mi Luan was wasting his time …especially when he was already scared that he didn’t much time.

Mi Luan stopped speaking and looked at him silently.

”Stay here.”

With these cold and strict words, Gu Li finally flew away from the tents while Mi Luan silently looked in the direction where he had disappeared to.

He felt Rong Ting patting his shoulders as if he was trying to comfort him that Gu Li talked to him that way just because Gu Li was anxious.

However, Mi Luan looked calm as he turned around and said to Rong Ting.

”I will go and eat something.”

Rong Ting frowned on hearing Mi Luan’s words. How could Mi Luan feel hungry at such a moment! He wondered silently but then thought he, after all, was a child so he would not be able to understand anything.

So he nodded his head and stood outside the old master’s tent while Mi Luan walked towards to the tent where the leftover meat and a few fruits were stored. 

Before stepping inside the tent, he looked at Rong Ting again and finally went inside.

It was almost a quarter of shichen later, that Gu Li returned with a physician from the village. He saw that other shadow guards also had brought a few physicians but when Gu Li saw their grim faces, his heart sank inside his chest.  

”Look, I can’t treat him. I don’t know who you are but please leave me from where you have brought me.”

One of the physicians said to the shadow guard who had abducted him in the broad daylight.

When he spoke, other physicians also started to speak.

Gu Li frowned on hearing their words and so many voices together. Seeing this, the shadow guards immediately glanced at the physician they have brought coldly and soon the area was silent.

The physician who had been brought by Gu Li was about to open his mouth and beg him to drop him to the place he had been picked from but seeing whatever happened, he shut down his mouth wisely. 

”Come.”

Gu Li said to him coldly and then stepped inside the tent.

The physician silently followed him.

However, a few moments later, the physician stepped out of the tent with Gu Lii whose face didn’t look good at all.

He turned around to look at the physician again and said

”Are you sure that you are not lying to me? Your village people call you the most capable physician of their village and also the neighboring village.”

The physician lowered his head in embarrassment and anger. Regardless of what the circumstances are, he felt embarrassed and angry when someone pointed their finger on his only talent and passion. 

Still, he knew that he couldn’t express his anger so he told Gu Li

”Though he is breathing, the snake poison is spreading inside his body slowly and slowly. He doesn’t have much time. It is very late so I can’t do anything.”

”As if you could do anything if they had called you before.”

A murmur was heard from the group of the physicians. Now the ‘most capable’ physician’ might have stayed silent when Gu Li said something about him, he was not going to do the same now.

”What did you just say?”

He glared at the physician who had said these words. The other physician resided in the neighboring village and he had never liked this ‘most capable’ physician as everyone always praised him in his village also.

Now that he had got the opportunity to embarrass him, he didn’t want to stay silent and spoke mockingly

”I said …as if you could have done anything if you had been called before. All of us here know that there had been no medicine discovered yet for the snake’s poison. A person’s death is inevitable regardless of what kind of snake bit him.”

Others instantly agreed with him.

The ‘most capable physician’ looked more embarrassed. His face was completely red as he had been caught. How could Gu Li not see through him!

However, he was not interested in their fight at all. He was very worried now.

What progress they had made if they couldn’t even treat snake’s bites?

Gu Li thought inside his heart angrily.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a familiar voice.

”What is going on here?”
