799: The Old Shifu Leaves Xi Manor

The Old Shifu Leaves Xi Manor

"Who are you?"

The old shifu frowned as he looked at the young child in front of him. He had a guess inside his heart and as he repeated the child's words inside his mind, his eyes flashed. 

'The girl has a child.'

Could it be why she refused to accompany him? 

His eyes flashed again and he suddenly smiled gently as he looked at the child. However, just when he took a step toward the child, a figure came and took the child away from him. 

It was Gu Li. 

After hearing the old physician's threat, Gu Li was afraid that the latter will use Xi Ling to threaten Li Rui. That's why he immediately took Xi Ling away. 

How could the old Shifu not understand what Gu Li was thinking? 

Looking at his wary-filled eyes, the old Shifu felt very angry and said 

"This old man is not that low to use a child against his mother."

However, a corner of his heart silently mocked him. Because that was what he was going to do exactly. 

He wanted to coax Xi Ling and then somehow make Li Rui agree to go with him. He could allow her to take her child as well if she wanted. 

Gu Li looked at the old Shifu coldly as if he never heard his words. The old Shifu was angrier when he saw this. 

When he glanced at the child in Gu Li's arms and saw how he was looking at him, the old shifu didn't why but he had this weird urge to prove otherwise. 

He didn't like how the child seemed to hate him. 

It has to be known that his disciples had been raised by him. All of them were orphans and hence he had raised them himself. 

Towards children, his heart was especially softer. 

Just when the old shifu was thinking about what he should say to prove himself innocent, a sound interrupted the fierce atmosphere. 

"You didn't leave yet?"

It was Li Rui's voice. 

The old Shifu immediately looked in the direction of the sound. 

The small bun saw his mother and struggled in Gu Li's arms. Gu Li understood and walked to Li Rui and only then he left Xi Ling.

Xi Ling immediately held his mother's hand while Li Rui stroked his head gently. 

The small bun smiled shyly but in satisfaction and then continued to look at the old Shifu with a wrinkled face that was full of displeasure. 

Gu Li stood in the same place silently protecting Li Rui and Xi Ling. 

"I leave you enough dignity to leave on your own. If you don't like this dignity then you will be forcing my husband's hands, Superior."

Li Rui's voice carried a hint of coldness but her words were polite when she spoke to the old shifu. 

She had let him stay but hearing whatever he said and how he was trying to get close to her son, she no longer wanted him to stay in Xi Manor.

And the old Shifu didn't know what he should say. 

"Li Rui"

He took a deep breath and asked what he had been feeling for so long. 

"Do you hold some deep grudge against my disciples and me?"

In response, Li Rui smiled coldly and said 

"Superior is indeed very intelligent, Yes, Rui does hold a deep grudge against Superior and his disciples. Can Superior look at him and try to remember if he had seen him somewhere before?"

Li Rui pointed her finger at Gu Li as she looked at the old Shifu. 

The old Shifu frowned and shook his head indicating that he didn't seem to remember something like that. 

Li Rui's smile was colder when she saw this and she said 

"Almost four years ago, this person had gone to Yantun valley and had begged Superior and his disciples to treat Rui's master."

Li Rui glanced at the old master who smiled at her gently. 

After a moment of pause, Li Rui continued 

"However, Superior and his disciples refused to treat him. After his being persistent regarding, all of you demanded a huge sum of money from my senior brother …an amount that an ordinary man should not be able to collect in his whole life."

The old Shifu was shocked when he heard this. Not only he but even Physician Xuan was shocked. 

He had not been present at that time but he had not expected that would be hidden something like this behind everything. 

"I…I …never knew that he was your master."

The old Shifu tried to defend himself."

As he looked at Li Rui's cold eyes, the old Shifu didn't know why but he felt the urge to explain himself. 

Without him realizing it, a part of his heart had already started to realize that whatever he had done was wrong. 

"If I had known that it was your master, I would have treated him."

The old Shifu said firmly. However, Li Rui still looked equally cold. 

"It is not about him being my master. It is about you and your disciples being so unreasonable and leaving the ones who need your assistance at their own mercy. Yes, it is true that Rui doesn't have any right to criticize Superior but Rui does have the right to refuse to be a disciple of such a master."

The old Shifu couldn't retort such words. 

He opened and closed his mouth but he suddenly at the lack of words. 

Li Rui saw him like this and didn't say anything. 

She held her son's hand and turned around to go inside the courtyard. Everyone else also followed her. 

Now it was only Physician Xuan and the old Shifu outside the Courtyard. 

The old Shifu raised his head after a long time and said to his disciple 

"Let's go."

Physician Xuan was surprised when he saw his master like this, He had not expected his master to accept defeat so easily. 

Putting aside that, his master doesn't even look angry at whatever Li Rui said. 

However, seeing how his master looked, he didn't have the heart to say or ask anything and quietly left Xi Manor. 

When Xi Ying returned from the Imperial Palace and came to know about this, he was very relieved.  0

Hmmm, no one could take his Rui away from him.
