Chapter 666 [Bonus chapter]The Last Day In Youxio Valley

In the evening, Li Rui checked the old master once again.

Gu Li was relieved when she told him that everything was fine and the old master should wake up within a few days.

Once she went back to the tent, she saw her son reading some book. Xi Ying was sitting in front of him.

Li Rui smiled when she saw Xi Ling raising his head immediately and looking at her with hopeful eyes. However, she pretended to ignore it.

She would never spoil Xi Ling in such matters.

Reading was very important and it didn't matter where they were, she was happy that Xi Ying was not letting anything affect his studies.

Xi Ling pouted when his father asked him to read the book strictly.

However, he obediently did as he was asked. Once he would finish, he will be allowed to go outside and play.

Xi Ying turned to look at Li Rui.

Seeing that she looked calm, he thought that everything must be fine and sighed in relief.

He stood up from the bed and walked towards her.

Holding her hand, he asked her gently

"When do you think we should leave?"

He asked directly.

Li Rui looked thoughtful. She also had been thinking on this.

"Can we wait for two days?"

She hoped that the old master would wake up within two days.

Xi Ying smiled and nodded his head.

Xi Ling who heard his parents conversation smiled brightly on hearing that they still have two days. He had been anxious when yesterday, Li Hua had told him that they were going to leave as his mother's work had ended already.

But he still had two days.

Though he was sad, he decided to enjoy these two days to the fullest.

And hence, their stay had now extended to two days.

.

In the next two days, however, the old master didn't wake up.

The valley that had cheerful after the poison had come out of the old master's body had slowly started to go silent again.

Gu Li could feel his shadow guards' morale going down and he didn't even know what to do. He didn't know what he should do. He was also afraid that it would affect Li Rui negatively.

She was after all, a girl.

As much as he has heard, girls are usually sensitive. So he decided to talk to Xi Ying about their departure. It would be good for her to leave the valley now.

He didn't want the depressing environment of valley to effect her …especially in such times.

But two nights later, when Xi Ying told him that they were going to leave tomorrow, Gu Li didn't even know if he should be sad or happy.

His face was blank when he nodded his head and then went back to the tent.

Actually, he didn't want her to leave.

But he knew that just like years ago, he couldn't make her stay. She had her one life in the Imperial City.

"Senior Brother"

Gu Li was surprised when he heard a soft voice from the outside of his tent. He knew who it was and he couldn't help but stiffen as he wiped his face with his fingers and sighed deeply.

After that, when he heard Li Rui asking whether she could come in, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the tent.

Flipping the cloth of tent, he looked at Li Rui with a concerned expression on his face and asked

"Is everything alright, Rui?"

Li Rui nodded her head immediately seeing that he was worried.

When Gu Li looked confused about her sudden arrival, she explained ….with a little bit of hesitation.

"I wanted to talk to you."

Gu Li looked at her for a moment before he smiled suddenly but looking away from her face.

Was she here to have a talk because she was leaving tomorrow?

She has finally grown up.

He thought amusingly. At least, this time she was not heartless to tell him directly that she was leaving and then leave without even looking back.

He stepped out of the tent and said

"Let's go."

After that, he took her towards the huge stones a few steps away from the tents where they could sit comfortably.

He knew that he couldn't talk to her inside his tent so he thought it would be better if they talked here where they were in sight of people who were working a few steps away.

There was silence between them for a few seconds until Li Rui spoke

"I am leaving tomorrow."

"I know."

Gu Li answered staring straight ahead.

Li Rui couldn't help but turn her head to look at him once. Was he sad or perhaps angry like the last time when she had said the same words to him?

She found out soon when she saw how Gu Li didn't look at her even once in the next few moments.

Li Rui felt bothered as well as anxious.

She didn't want Gu Li to be sad because of her.

"Will you come to see me?"

She couldn't help but ask him.

Gu Li turned to look at her almost swiftly. His eyes flashed with surprise and he asked in the same surprised voice.

"Do you want me to?"

Li Rui blinked as she looked at him and then nodded her head.

"Of Course. I would like it if you will come to see me or I will come here whenever I could."

Gu Li smiled.

He raised his hand almost immediately to pat her head but then stopped amidst his action wondering if it would be alright for him to do it.

Li Rui looked at his hand that hung amidst in the air and held it gently to put it on her head.

"Rui's Elder Brother does the same, Senior Brother."

She said to Gu Li.

It was true. Her Elder Brother would always pat her head gently and she knew that it was his way of showing how much he cared for her regardless of how much he bullied her.

Perhaps Gu Li also had the same way.

And she knew she was right when she saw Gu Li blinking her eyes as he patted her head gently.

"You don't need to come. I will come to see you."

She nodded her head and smiled.

Gu Li took back his hand after some time.

They sat there silently for a while.

This time, it was Gu Li whole broke the silence.

"Rui, Master…"

"He will wake up."

Li Rui spoke almost immediately even before he could finish his words. Gu Li chuckled as he looked at her and said

"I know. I believe you."

He would not do the same mistake of not believing her.

"I was saying that after Master would wake up, I will come to the Imperial City."

He would kill Zhao Wang Lei who wanted him to kill Li Rui. It was already stifling that the man who wanted to kill Xiao Luan whom he had vowed to protect always was still alive.

Li Rui nodded her head and sad calmly.

"I will wait for you."

Gu Li sighed peacefully hearing her words.

She was very sensible and obedient.

He couldn't help but envy the older brother she had been talking about. The thought reminded him of something and he looked at Li Rui seriously before he asked

"Rui, does Prime Minister Xi treat you well?"
