Chapter 633 Gu Li Doesn't Want Mi Luan To Leave

??Gu Li was sitting on a stone and sharpening his dagger when he heard a meek but a voice that was full of fear.

??"Mister Gu Li."

??He raised his head and his cold eyes immediately set on Master Wong who flinched merely on seeing his cold eyes.

??It took him all his courage to speak his next few words

??"I…I wanted to talk t…to you about …something."

??Though he stuttered, Master Wong didn't know why but he felt proud for completing his words.

??However, the cold smile on Gu Li's lips as he continued to sharpen his dagger while speaking to him made all of his courage vanish away in a second

??"Speak."

??One word but said in such a cold voice that Master Wong could feel the chills running down his spine. Master Wong was sure that Gu Li was trying to scare him to the point where he would not even mention a single thing about Mi Luan's departure but he had to.

??No matter how afraid he was, he had to talk about this.

??"Mister Gu Li, Little Luan needs to leave."

??"He doesn't."

??Gu Li said immediately and then continued coldly.

??"He is not leaving."

??Master Wong sighed heavily. A part of him was a little proud that his little disciple was so great and adorable that even the cold heart of this shadow guard was move by him. In just a few days, he was already so attached to him that he didn't want him to leave. 

??But Mi Luan really needed to leave.

??"Mister Gu Li, you are not understanding.'

??Master Wong thought that if Gu Li's heart could be moved by Mi Luan then at least he as a heart. So he tried to explain everything to him softly.

??Fortunately, Gu Li didn't interrupt him. Though he was still looking at him with cold eyes, Master Wong just avoided looking into his eyes.

??"Little Luan has another life …beyond this forest. Beyond the village where I live. He also has his own family who is waiting for him."

??Gu Li's eyes flickered with surprise. He had never thought about Mi Luan's family or perhaps he on his own assumed that Mi Luan was an orphan…without any family.

??With time, he started to think that just like he, who didn't have anyone to call brother, sister, mother, or father in this world, Mi Luan was the same as him.   

??So he thought that they could become that one person for each other who would need no family except each other.

??But all of it was just his one-sided assumptions.

??He has a family. Gu Li repeated Master Wong's words inside his brain and his heart was suddenly filled with bitterness or perhaps envy.

??Not the envy towards Mi Luan but towards his family.

??He might be unreasonable to wish that Mi Luan should not have any family …then he wouldn't have to leave.

??A thought suddenly came to his mind and he asked the so called shifu of his Xiao Luan …his Xiao Luan …he was never his.

??Gu Li smiled bitterly but his eyes were suddenly filled with suspicion as he looked at Master Wong and said

??"He has a family? And they didn't come to look for him for so many days?"

??Master Wong went speechless at Gu Li's question. He opened and closed his mouth but was unable to come back with a counterattack. But one thing he understood was that Gu Li was doubting him. He was doubting him that he was lying about Mi Luan's family.

??"No!"

??Master Wong said loudly.

??"I am not lying, Mister Gu Li. You need to believe me."

??Gu Li chuckled coldly as he said

??"I never said that you are lying."

??Master Wong was again speechless. This time he just decided to say what was coming on his tongue.

??"But your eyes say it. I am not lying. I don't have any reason to lie."

??Gu Li calmly stood up from the stone he was sitting on. His dagger was still in his hands as he walked toward Master Wong.

??With his(Gu Li) each and every step in his direction, Master Wong stepped backward. The middle-aged master was swallowing whenever he would look at the sharp dagger in Gu Li's hands.     

??"Mister Gu Li…"

??Gu Li stopped one step away from Master Wong and said coldly

??"He has a family. So what? They don't care for him enough to look for him when he had been lost for exactly forty-four days. Do they even know that he was attacked? Do they know that he would have perhaps d…died by now if I had not been there?"

??Master Wong stopped trembling in fear. He had a very serious expression on his face when he heard Gu Li continuing.

??"He was attacked that day and he didn't even know how to hold a sword. I taught him everything. My master taught him everything and I should just let him go now?"

??Gu Li chuckled coldly and whispered

??"I shall not. He will stay here. He will learn to protect himself. At least in the future, he will not run like that day. He will bravely kill whoever will dare to go against him. Go and tell his family that Youxio kept their son. If they love him enough then come here to fight with this Gu Li."

??After finishing his words, Gu Li turned around to leave.

??But Master Wong's somber words made him halt amidst his steps.

??"He is not made to do that. He is not made to kill people. He is made to save lives. He is not made for this place where only bloodshed. Mister Gu Li, you can't keep him here. You will be stopping him from achieving what he really aces."

??The confused Gu Li turned around to look at Master Wong with cold and blank eyes but Master Wong continued.

??"My little disciple is very capable in medicines and curing people. Mister Gu Li ...he had spent just a few days with me, reading my books, and going through what I have collected throughout my whole life, but in those few days, he learned from those things more than I could ever learn. That's how intelligent and talented he is. He can find the cure of the medicines no one has ever found. He can invent many things. You can't keep him here. You will be destroying him by handing a sword to his hand when those hands are in fact made to save people's lives."

??Gu Li was shocked.

??He had never known that Mi Luan knew so much about medicines. Though he had his own doubts after the snake biting incident, he didn't pry into this matter much.

??However, he had never thought that Mi Luan had such talent and abilities.

??His heart was suddenly filled with so many conflicts but he didn't want to change his decision. His conflicts and confusion made Gu Li run away from that place.   

??However, he had taken just a step when suddenly he saw the rain of so many arrows.

??And then the war started.
