His Rui-Chapter 646 Can Li Rui Treat The Old Master?

Gu Li was moved when he heard Li Rui's words.

In fact, he was also a little impatient somewhere inside his heart. If Mi Luan had actually been a boy, then by now he would have made him start the treatment already.

However, Mi Luan was a girl, that too, a pregnant one so regardless of how impatient he was, he was rational enough to know that she needed a very good amount of rest as well.

So he said very gently but strictly as if he was still talking to Mi Luan who used to be a child.

"No, Go and rest for the night first. I will take you to see him in the morning."

Xi Ying heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted the same.

Li Rui smiled and spoke again making Xi Ying sigh helplessly.

"Senior Brother, I am alright. I will just check him once and see if I can really…"

Gu Li's face went grave when he heard her words. He didn't even let her complete them and said

"Let's go then."

As he walked out of the tent to lead the way, he comforted himself again and again that Li Rui must be able to treat his master.

He had heard a lot about her abilities and talent.

But somewhere he was really afraid. Because if Li Rui couldn't treat his master then he would be left with only one way and that would Yantun valley.

However, he had not even collected half of the money he needed to collect. By the time, he would be able to collect it, would his master…

Gu Li felt his heart sinking inside his chest with each and every step of his.

If his conscience had allowed it, then he would steal all the money from the Imperial treasures. However, his conscience didn't allow him to stain the reputation of Youxio earned by his master with his big efforts for so many years.

He had already done so much to disappoint his master. He could not also put the stain of a 'thief of legal money' on Youxio.

Gu Li breathed deeply before he stepped inside the tent.

Li Rui was about to follow him inside when Xi Ying suddenly held her hand. He passed Xi Ling to Li Hua and asked her to stay inside their tent with him until they would be there.

Li Hua obeyed and after she had gone inside the huge tent that had been made for them, Xi Ying finally went inside the tent with Li Rui.

Li Rui couldn't help but smile at his actions.

She somewhat liked this protective side of him. She wanted to tell him that he didn't need to stay so guarded but she knew that she couldn't blame him for being like that after whatever happened in the past few days.

However, on the other hand, she thought that Xi Ying didn't go with Li Hua to check the tent first was already a huge step. It meant that he had slowly started to trust Gu Li and his people.

She could only give him time to see that these people were not as bad as they were rumored to be.

Inside the tent, Li Rui looked at the old master who almost looked like she had seen him years ago. Though there were a few traces that made one visible that he had aged in the past few years but everything else about him seemed exactly the same. His aura…even in his unconsciousness made people feel at ease. The only difference was that he didn't have that soft smile on his lips that she had seen on his face when she had seen him for the first time.

A moment later, she finally raised her hand to check him.

Gu Li stood a step away as he watched Li Rui taking his master's pulse with a frown on her forehead.

Each and every change of expression on her face would make his heart beat faster as he tried to decipher what she was concluding but it was not as easy as it looked.

On the other hand, Xi Ying who was standing beside Gu Li was also observing the old master silently. He remembered that Rui had told him about the old master teaching her swordsmanship.

He knew that Li Rui respected the old master a lot and she would not leave before treating him completely.

He saw her checking his eyes and then some other nerves.

It was after a whole fifteen minutes that she stood up from the bed and walked towards them.

When Gu Li saw how grave Li Rui's face looked, he didn't even have the courage to ask 'How is it?'

He could only try to find some words and when he finally found them, he spoke grimly but in a voice as if he was trying to assure her as well as himself.

"It's alright, Rui. No need to feel sad. I will collect the money and take him to Yantun valley…don't worry about anything. You just take care of your body. Also, you should…"

"Senior Brother…"

Li Rui stopped Gu Li before he could say more. She couldn't help but want to comfort him the way he looked right now. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

She knew very well how much the old master meant to him.

"I can treat Master."

She spoke calmly making Gu Li shocked and then joyous.

His eyes brightened like a pair of stars as he asked her in a voice full of disbelief.

"Really? You can!"

Li Rui nodded her head again with a small smile on her lips on seeing how happy he looked. However, her face went grave again when she continued f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

"But …it is going to be a very long process. It can take almost a whole week to make the poison leave his body. We could have waited for a few months but the poison has started to surround almost in every part of his body so it is important to start the treatment in a few weeks."
