Chapter 670 The Old Master Is Angry At Gu Li
After finishing the breakfast, Li Rui again went to see the old master with Xi Ying.However, she was surprised when she saw that the old master didn’t look as gentle and calm as he was yesternight.
”Greetings Master”
She greeted him politely and was confused when he didn’t even smile and just grunted in acknowledgement.
Confused, Li Rui looked toward Gu Li who had a grim and cold face.
In response to her confusion filled eyes, Gu Li only looked towards Rong Ting coldly while the latter had guilt laden eyes.
”Master, Rui is leaving today.”
Li Rui spoke to the old master politely.
The old master finally turned his head to look at her. He looked at her silently for a moment and then said calmly.
”Good. You should not live at a place like this.”
Finshing his words, he turned his head away and then said in an emotionless and cold voice.
”I shall also leave once I would be able to walk on my legs. Ha….until then I shall not eat a single grain of rice from this place.”
The old master’s words further confused Li Rui but she understood that it was something serious. After all, she has never seen old master speaking so coldly and angrily.
”Semior Brother, what is wrong?”
Li Rui asked Gu Li with a frown on her forehead.
Gu Li shook his head as if he was trying to ensure her that nothing was wrong. He didn’t want her to worry and leave peacefully.
However, the old master’s chest was filled with anger and he couldn’t help but find this way to vent.
”What will he say? I shall tell you, Rui.”
The old master was breathing heavily in anger. Li Rui had never seen him like this. She could not help but step forward to hold his hand and message it, trying to calm him down silently.
”He destroyed my Youxio.”
The old master was glaring at Gu Li fiercely who stood there with his head lowered.
”The Youxio I had created was to help poor people, to kill those people who don’t carry mercy and humanity in their hearts. But what did he do? He took money to kill people reagrdless of whether they were at anyy fault or not.”
”Master…”
Gu Li raised his head and stepped forward to say something.
However, the old master raised his hand to stop him.
Even his hand was trembling as he spoke coldly.
”Don’t come near me. Don’t ever touch me with those hands. I don’t let a person touch me whose hands are colored with the blood of innocents.”
Gu Li shook his head as he opened his mouth to say something but when he saw hi master’s eyes, his own eyes started to fill with tears and he looked away swiftly.
Li Rui felt sad on seeing Gu Li like this. At the same time, she could understand what the old master must be feeling.
Xi Ying standing behind his wife looked at this scene calmly.
He somewhat appreciated the old man’s anger on Gu Li. In his eyes, Gu Li indeed deserved this. However, seeing the young shadow guard in the past few days, Xi Ying knew that the former was wise enough to know that his master would never like such a thing.
So he must have thought of some way, right?
Suddenly his eyes flickered as he remembered something and his face had a thoughtful expression as he looked at Gu Li.
”Rui”
The old master looked at Li Rui and whispered
”Ask him to get out of here. I don’t wish to see his face.”
Li Rui looked conflicted as she looked at Gu Li.
Gu Li’s head was lowered and without her telling him, he looked ready to leave. However, she didn’t want this.
”Senior Brother.”
She called him out to stop.
”Rui…”
The old master spoke coldly as he tried to free his hand from Li Rui’s hold. Li Rui let him do so.
Looking at the old master, she spoke gently
”Master, Senior Brother didn’t do all that intentionally. He just didn’t wish to lose you. For that, he needed money and so he didn’t have any other way.”
The old master looked deflated on hearing Li Rui’s words.
He closed his eyes. His face looked as if he was in immense pain and he whispered helplessly
”It would have been better if I had just died then. At least I would not have had to hear such things about my Youxio.”
The old master had asked Rong Ting everything last night…about how they found Li Rui.
Rong Ting who was less intelligent emotionally didn’t get to know what he was telling the old master. He spoke and spoke.
One truth led to another and hence slowly the old master came to know what all has changed in Youxio in the past few years.
”Master…”
Gu Li whispered in a trembling voice.
”Hear me out once.”
It was clear that he was stopping himself from crying also how much old master’s words effected him.
However, the old master was very stubborn and he just ordered him coldly.
”Get out”
”Master…”
Gu Li spoke again.
However, the old master had had enough.
He opened his eyes and said in a very comannding tone.
”Get out, Gu Li. Unless you want me to see my dead face, don’t show your face to me.”
Gu Li looked shocked by these words.
His lips were quivering like a child but he didn’t argue anymore. He just turned around silently to leave.
Li Rui stayed inside the tent for some more time …until the old master went back to sleep.
When she came out of the tent, she had a constant frown on her forehead.
Xi Ying couldn’t bear to see her like this. He held her wrist to stop her. Turning her face towards him, he massaged her forehead with his fingers gently whispering.
”Don’t frown.”
”Ying…”
Li Rui sighed as she whispered his name while holding his hand that was massaging her forehead.
”I know”
Xi Ying spoke before she could finish.
”I want to confirm something. Will you come with me?”
He said making Li Rui confused. A moment later, she nodded her head.
Xi Ying walked to their tent to find a thick robe to cover Li Rui. After that, with his arm around her waist, hew flew away from there.
