Chapter 668 Rui Meets The Old Master

Gu Li had entered the tent in long strides but his steps unconsciously slowed down when he approached the bed the old master was lying on.

His eyes went blank when he saw that his master's eyes were still closed. Confusion flashed across them and he was about to shout for Rong Ting when he suddenly saw his master's eyelashes moving.

And then after so many years, he saw his master opening his eyes slowly and looking in his direction with a little confusion.

Gu Li's eyes were red and he sniffed like a child as he stepped forward and whispered

"Master, Have you forgotten Gu Li?"

The old master had been blinking his eyes. Gu Li didn't know but everything was a little blurry for him. Perhaps because he was seeing the light after so many years so he couldn't make out the image of the person standing in front of him.

However, when he heard his voice, a gentle smile immediately graced the old master's lips and he whispered calmly.

"Gu Li"

Gu Li bit the inside of his cheek hard as if he was trying to make himself believe that it was reality.

"Master, you are awake."

He whispered in a trembling voice and the old master immediately opened his eyes again.

His eyes softened when he saw Gu Li's red eyes.

He could see how childlike Gu Li looked right now. He, as a leader of such a big organization that was rumored for its ruthless ways against cruel and bad-hearted people, had always been very calm and composed.

However, this boy … since the moment he had come to stand in front of him and ask calmly if he could give any shelter to him, had made a place inside his heart from that very moment.

The reason he himself didn't know.

Perhaps because Gu Li's past made him remind of himself which was no less different. And which was why he had created this organization.

"I am fine, Gu Li."

The old master even tried to raise his hand and pat Gu Li's hand that was placed on the edge of the bed.

He assured Gu Li who nodded his head vigorously at his master's words and clutched his master's hand firmly reminding him of the moment in the past when he had done the same when he had taken him to Youxio for the first time.

"Master."

Gu Li finally composed himself when he heard the voice from outside.

He smiled lightly though his lips were still quivering as he spoke

"Everyone outside must be waiting to see Master."

The old master smiled gently but whispered weakly.

"Assure them that I am fine. But for now, I want to rest. I feel a little weak."

"Yes, Master."

Gu Li spoke immediately.

At the same time, he felt his heart aching on hearing his master's words. His master had never said such words before.

He had never shown any weakness before.

But he comforted himself that it was natural. After all, for the past few years, he had survived on a liquid diet only.

He was about to turn around to leave so that his master would be able to rest but then he suddenly thought of something and turned around again.

"Master, can you wait for a moment? I and others will be assured if Rui will check you once."

The old master who opened his eyes was confused by the unfamiliar name but nonetheless nodded his head.

Gu Li immediately left the tent and then when he found Li Rui standing outside with Xi Ying, he said urgently

"Rui, come inside. Master has woken up."

The shadow guards looked at each other on hearing Gu Li's words with bright eyes.

They immediately made way for Li Rui who started to walk toward the tent. However, a step later, she suddenly turned around to look at Xi Ying.

Looking at his frown, she knew what he was thinking.

It was her bedtime. He wanted her to have proper rest. He had clearly said so before leaving and had also made her promise him the same.

However, they could make an exception for this small moment, right?

Li Rui smiled as she stretched her hand out in her husband's direction and whispered

"Ying, come. I want you to meet Master."

What could Xi Ying say in response to her sweet smile and her soft voice!

He sighed helplessly as he stepped forward and put his hand in hers.

Holding her hand, he walked along with her. Finding the right moment, when no one was looking at them, he leaned down a little and whispered in her ear in an amusement-filled voice

"I have never thought that a woman would ever make me change my decisions."

Li Rui who heard his words blinked and stayed silent as if she didn't know what she should say in response.

A few moments later, Li Rui was taking the old master's pulse.

She put the hand back inside the blanket after a few moments. When she raised her head, she saw the old master looking at her with a soft smile.

It made her curious whether he had already recognized her.

"Greetings, Master."

She greeted him politely.

Though she knew that she should have done it before taking the pulse, she wanted to check if everything was really alright first.

"Xiao Luan."

The old master smiled gently as he looked at Li Rui.

His words surprised each and every person inside the room.

Even Gu Li was left surprised.

He couldn't recognize Li Rui but his master recognized him at first glance.

"Master, how did you…"

He whispered in a surprised-filled voice.

The old master smiled in amusement as he spoke

"I had told you that she was a girl…you didn't believe me."

Gu Li looked at his master with the parted mouth as he tried to remember when his master had said something like that. He actually remembered but at that time…

"You just assumed on your own that she was a boy."
