Chapter 797: The Cold Li Rui
Xi Ying's lips twitched as he looked at the old shifu. His eyes couldn't be colder than they looked right now. The room's atmosphere was able to make the old Shifu and Physician Xuan his threatening aura. The old Shifu glanced at Xi Ying. He was not fazed by Xi Ying's cold eyes. However, his eyes flashed with surprise surely for a moment.
He, however, thought that to him, nothing was important here. He was just to take Li Rui to Yantun valley with him.
However, he was left completely startled when he heard Li Rui saying calmly "I don't wish to go. You can leave this Manor and please...don't ever step in here again." Li Rui said and she turned around to leave. Her eyes were cold and when Xi Ying saw her like this, he knew that she was upset. As much as he was satisfied seeing how resolutely she declined the old Shifu's offer, he felt distressed seeing her upset. What happened to her? According to how much Xi Ying knew Li Rui, she would not get upset at such a small matter. There was more to it. "Ying, let's go." He heard his wife's voice and nodded his head. Having one of his anns around his waist, he moved towards the door when they heard the Old Shifu's shock-filled voice. "You don't wish to go? Not only the Old Shifu but even Physician Xuan was shocked. One has to know that if a person had talent in medicine then he would never refuse to be a disciple of his shifu and go to Yantun valley. And that's why the old Shifu's offer didn't even seem to be an offer. More of it seemed to be a command because he had been very sure that Li Rui would accept it. "Why?" He asked with uttermost curiosity.
Li Rui was about to leave but stopped when she heard the question. Xi Ying frowned. He didn't want her to answer any of these questions. In fact, he wanted that this old man would never appear in front of his wife.
The man dared to think that he could take his wife away. Ha...he would not let that happen until he was alive. However, seeing that Li Rui wanted to talk, Xi Ying suppressed himself and let her do what she wanted to do. "You ask me why?"
Li Rui looked at the old Shifu with a raised eyebrow. The olf Shifu frowned and nodded his head and Li Rui suddenly smiled.
Her smile was however very cold as she said
"Why would I wish to be your disciple? What kind of Shifu would be you who could poison a person just to see some medicinal skill that you have never seen before? A person who doesn't value the life of others...that person might be a very talented physician, but he is nothing in my eyes."
The old Shifu looked blank for a moment. Not only he but even Physician Xuan was blank
It was after a moment that the old Shifu registered what the girl had just said and his face was red with anger.
"You..."
Pointing his finger at Li Rui who was trembling with rage inside his heart, he said furiously and loudly
"You are too arrogant. How dare you speak to me like that!" Even Physician Xuan was frowning at Li Rui. Li Rui, however, continued to smile coldly. "Why? Who are you? Why should I respect a man like you?" The old Shifu was so angry that he wanted to vomit out blood. However, Li Rui never gave him a chance to do that. She attacked his dignity mercilessly ...something that no one had ever dared to do.
"You...your disciples and your valley, everything is very popular for having exceptional talent in medicine. But what is the use of that when you leave the people who want to live more begging at your door? There is no use of your so-called talent."
Finishing her words, Li Rui turned around to leave. Xi Ying silently helped his wife. When they were outside the room, he couldn't help but stroke her back gently seeing how cold she looked. "It's alright. Calm down, Rui. I will have them thrown out of Manor." "No!" Li Rui refused and Xi Ying frowned in confusion. "Let them stay here only." Her eyes were very cold when she continued a moment later. "Let them beg. Let them experience how it feels to beg someone. It is the same way they made others and they did the same to Senior Brother." Xi Ying suddenly understood why his wife was so upset. He also remembered that Gu Li had told them that he had gone to Yantun valley when the old master was sick
However, the physicians there asked for a huge sum of money to cure the old master. In fact, he and Li Rui, both of them, knew that the Yantun valley might not have taken the old master inside even if Gu Li had collected the money.
Gu Li had been very persistent and that was the way they chose to make him leave their valley.
However, today the master of the same valley was desperate for a skill.
Li Rui was sure that the old Shifu was very desperate to learn acupuncture. He would not leave just like that.
And she wanted to see what he could do when she was not willing to teach him anything.
Inside the room, the old Sifu looked shocked. "Shifu..." It was Physician Xuan who called out to him when he saw that he was not moving at all. The old Shifu came out of his trance. His eyes were again filled with anger and he whispered sharply. "The girl is too daring! Too arrogant...she dares to insult me just because she has some skill, Ha! " Standing beside his master, Physician Xuan was completely silent. In fact, inside his heart, he was pondering on what Li Rui said. Indeed, so many people had turned to their valley to save their loved ones life in these past years.
However, they took only those people who were suffering from the kind of disease they have never seen. In other words, the person was just a body for their use as they wanted to learn how they could cure the new disease.
But they left others to die at the doors mercilessly.
Were they really good for nothing?
