His Rui

Chapter 636 Li Rui Is Mi Luan!

The room was silent.

Everyone standing inside the room either looked confused or shocked.

It was the shadow guards, who were tied to the chairs, who looked the most shocked inside the room. One of them started to struggle suddenly and Li Rui who was standing in front of Gu Li turned her head to look at him.

Her clean black eyes observed his face for a moment. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see anything as the shadow guard’s face had been covered with masks. A moment later, she spoke calmly

”Let him speak.”

An Ju immediately removed the cloth from his mouth and the shadow guard also spoke immediately.

”How do you know this?”

Li Rui didn’t say anything in response but turned her head to look at the man who was sitting in front of him.

”No way in hell that you are Mi Luan.”

One of them whispered incredulously.

Others though didn’t say anything and seemed to agree with him.

After all, Mi Luan was a boy.   

It was then they saw Li Rui probing inside the sleeve of her dress.

Gu Li’s eyes flickered immediately. He didn’t even blink as he saw her taking out a familiar shiny dagger from her sleeve.

Then she looked at him and said in the same calm voice

”If you are my Senior Brother then it should be enough to prove that I am Mi Luan. Now you prove that you are my Senior Brother.”

It was not only Gu Li who recognized the dagger but every shadow guard in the room recognized it. It was just that they didn’t know that the dagger was given to Mi Luan by Gu Li.

They looked at their master wondering if he will remove his mask.

They couldn’t show their faces.

It was to keep everyone safe and since Gu Li was their leader, he could obviously not show his face. However, at this moment, Gu Li couldn’t think of anything else.

He looked into Li Rui’s clean black eyes suddenly realizing why he had found them so familiar when he had seen them for the first time.

”I need oil to remove my mask.”

He said in a dazed voice.

Li Rui nodded her head and looked at An Ju.

Xi Ying who was standing behind her stepped forward to stand just beside his wangfei. His deep black eyes staring at Gu Li were sharp but his heart was filled with surprise.

The only thing he could understand right now was that Li Rui and this leader of Youxio knew each other from before.

It left him surprised but he was more shocked when he heard this leader asking for water to remove his mask.

Did he know that his one move could put him in a big danger?

An Ju brought the oil soon. Li Rui didn’t ask her to free Gu Li’s hands so that he could remove the mask.

He saw Li Rui stepping forward and he immediately took one to stand beside him so that he would be able to protect her if the man decided to attack suddenly.

He frowned in confusion when he saw Li Rui touching the mask with her fingers. He didn’t know but Li Rui already knew how to remove the mask as these masks were one of her inventions.     

She took the oil from the bowl and applied it to the corner of the black mask.

In a few moments, the mask started to leave his face and she was finally able to see it.

Li Rui’s eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Gu Li’s face after so many years. She stepped back in a daze and whispered 

”Senior Brother…”

”Rui had never thought that Rui would see Senior Brother again and like this.”

Though she looked calm, her words expressed her surprise and joy when she smiled at the end.

But Gu Li still looked as if he was unable to believe what he was seeing or hearing.

His throat wobbled when he whispered

”Xiao Luan…you…”

He opened and closed his mouth unable to find any word to say. However, he didn’t get the chance either as soon the old physician’s shout sounded in the room.

”Girl, don’t tell me that you are Mi Luan.”

Xi Ying looked at the old master coldly as he covered his wife’s ears. The old physician realized his mistake and smiled sheepishly.

After that, he looked at Li Rui with eyes that were full of worship. His smile was so wide and his face was red with excitement as he stepped forward and looked at her while asking

”Tell this old man, Girl…are you Mi Luan?”

Li Rui stayed silent for a moment before she looked at Xi Ying who was also looking at her silently. A moment later, she nodded her head and whispered while looking at him.

”Yes.”

Xi Ying didn’t show any shock or surprise. Actually, he didn’t know anything about this Mi Luan. The first time he heard this name was just a few hours ago from the shadow guard’s mouth.

Though he felt embarrassed now that he remembered that he had been feeling jealous because Li Rui knew this man named Mi Luan.

Regardless of everything, he was relieved and happy.

She herself was Mi Luan.

On the other hand, the old physician looked as if he could fly around the room while calling his hands and legs happily. 

”Mi Luan…I found Mi Luan…hahah…I can’t believe it at all.”

Xi Ying felt annoyed by his chattering and said to An Ju coldly.

”Throw him out.”

”What?”

The old physician exclaimed in shock.

”You can’t.”

He exclaimed as he stepped back to avoid An Ju who had already started to walk towards him to throw him out.

”I am too excited. Do you even know who is Mi Luan, young man? If you had then you must have not behaved like this with me. Anyone would behave like this if they would see Mi Luan.”

Xi Ying raised his hand to stop An Ju. He looked at the old physician with narrowed eyes and then asked indifferently

”Who is Mi Luan?”

He indeed wishes to know…especially after knowing that it was his Rui who was Mi Luan for other people.

How come he didn’t find anything about this when he had investigated her!

”Mi Luan…”

The old physician had a dreamy look in his eyes as he continued

”Mi Luan is the most capable physician I have ever heard about. The market, in the last few years, had so many new things because of him…things that no one had ever thought could exist and you know all of them are his own inventions. People say that he can save the people who are on the brink of death. Among the physicians of Xin, I think that every single one of them would die to meet him once. He is the idol for them…ah not idol but God. But everyone had thought that he is a man.”

The old physician looked at Li Rui suddenly with confusion-filled eyes and said

”Girl, why are you hiding like this?”

It was at this moment, that Xi Ying knew that it was the right time to send the old physician away so he looked at An Ju again who immediately showed the way out to the old physician.
