Chapter 609 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan (6)

　　Gu Li looked towards the almost bright sky and thought that he should wake that brat up. When he was on his way to his tent, he heard a few shadow guards talking.

　　"Hey, what do you think? Is that young boy a new trainee in the group?"

　　The other tsked as if saying he didn\'t know.

　　Gu Li shook his head as he thought that he needs to do something about the gossiping nature of these shadow guards. 

　　He continued walking towards his tent but suddenly heard the other shadow guard saying to the first.

　　"How do you know that he is a boy? It can be a girl also."

　　Gu Li frowned unconsciously when he heard it. The other shadow guard was saying something else too and he could hear him clearly as he stood there.

　　"Stupid…if it was a girl then Senior brother would not have her sleep with him in the same tent. Also Youxio doesn\'t have any place for girls."

　　The other shadow guard seemed to have to find this reasonable and didn\'t say anything.

　　However, the frown was still there on Gu Li\'s forehead. Even master thought that the little fella was a girl. Only he thought that he was a boy. 

　　But he never tried to check it. Gu Li suddenly remembered how much little fella was resisting sleeping with him in the same tent.

　　A possibility flashed inside his mind and he walked towards the tent in long strides. 

　　.

　　.

　　.

　　Gu Li stepped inside the tent with an emotionless face. His eyes went towards the bed to take Mi Luan\'s name coldly.

　　However, the coldness on his face vanished when he saw that the bed was empty. His eyes flashed with panic and shock and he unconsciously shouted out

　　"Mi Luan."

　　Gu Li had wanted to leave the tent to look outside immediately but he suddenly heard a soft voice inside the tent only. 

　　"Yes?"

　　He immediately strode towards the other side of the bed and saw a small head.

　　"What are you doing here?"

　　He asked strictly. He didn\'t like the panic he had felt just a moment ago. Gu Li wished that he would never feel it again.

　　Mi Luan raised his head to look at Gu Li calmly and answered in the same tone.

　　"Wearing my shoes."

　　Only then did Gu Li see the small shoes that Mi Luan was trying to wear on his small foot. His anger vanished suddenly when he looked at those small feet.

　　Without thinking anything, he stepped forward and bent down. His one knee was on the ground as he helped the little fella in wearing the shoe.

　　Mi Luan was surely started and had wanted to say that he could do it on his own. However, Gu Li spoke before he could

　　"I don\'t have the whole day to wait for you."

　　So Mi Luan stayed silent and let him do it.

　　After Gu Li had finished, he held the little fella\'s arm and left the tent with him. Outside he walked towards a big stone where a few jugs of water were placed.

　　He left little fella\'s arm to pick two jugs and then said strictly

　　"Follow me."

　　Mi Luan silently followed him to the forest. Gu Li kept ensuring every few seconds that Mi Luan was following him. A few moments later, he finally stopped near many small dug pits.

　　He passed the smaller jug to Mi Luan and then said coldly

　　"Go and do your morning routine."

　　Mi Luan blinked his eyelashes as he looked at the jug and then at Gu Li. His eyes then went to the small pits.

　　Though his face was covered, Gu Li still could how he blinked his eyelashes vigorously.

　　Seeing these silly actions of his, Gu Li\'s eyes narrowed. He put the jug on some stone and then said in a commanding voice

　　"Remove your veil."

　　Mi Luan turned his head completely to look at Gu Li.

　　"Why?"

　　He asked calmly that didn\'t have any fear. However, Gu Li still had his eyes narrowed as he said arrogantly

　　"Because I am saying so. What if you ran away again! I at least should know how you look like to find you again."

　　Saying this, Gu Li forwarded his hand to remove the veil from Mi Luan\'s voice. However, even before his hand could touch the veil, Mi Luan spoke calmly.

　　"But why do want to keep me here?"

　　Gu Li\'s hand paused in the air and he had a startled expression on his face as he looked into Mi Luan\'s calm eyes.

　　A moment later, he suddenly cleared his throat and pulled his hand back. He never answered Mi Luan\'s question. Without even looking at him, he said in an emotionless voice.

　　"Go and get fresh."

　　This time, Mi Luan also didn\'t say anything and picked the jug from the stone to leave from there.

　　As Gu Li looked at his leaving back, his eyes narrowed again. Why did he feel that the little fella was running away from him!

　　Did he just got tricked by him!

　　However, he himself shook away his thought when he thought of Mi Luan\'s age. He was just a child. Must have asked that question carelessly!

　　.

　　.

　　.

　　Almost a quarter of a shichen later, when Gu Li saw Mi Luan again, he was satisfied to see the jug empty. He also noticed that Mi Luan\'s ears were bright red.

　　The boy was embarrassed to do it in the open perhaps because he had never done it before.

　　Gu Li nodded his head.

　　He was surely a boy.

　　Otherwise, a girl would have thrown tantrum in doing so.

　　He could keep him here because Youxio didn\'t have any place for the girls.

　　Thinking this, Gu Li held little fella\'s hand again and then walked towards the tents.
