His Rui

Chapter 654 So Who Is Chosen?!

　　Gu Li looked at his shadow guards with raised eyebrows. However, they didn\'t say anything. 

　　Hence, they didn\'t want Gu Li to go through all this. After all, the Youxio was going on because of him only. He was their provider and guardian for them. They couldn\'t let him take any kind of risk. 

　　That\'s why one after the other, shadow guards stepped forward and said they could hold Li Rui. 

　　Gu Li was never unaware of his shadow guard\'s thoughts. He was touched though his face was cold and emotionless. 

　　Pride flickered in his eyes when he looked at them. They were fearless and they cared for each other. That was the biggest thing needed for an organization like Youxio to sustain even though their current circumstances were not that good. 

　　"Silence."

　　Gu Li silenced them in a cold voice. 

　　Though it was great that they didn\'t fear going through the same treatment their master was soon going to have, this was not the time for this. 

　　The shadow guards silenced and looked at Gu Li waiting for what he will say next. 

　　They didn\'t want him to become the testing body in any kind of situation. Helpless, a few of them looked at Rong Ting. It was only he who could do something now.

　　Sure enough, Rong Ting stepped forward and said 

　　"Master, Youxio can need you at any time so it would be better if someone else does this job."

　　"Yes…Senior Brother Rong is right…"

　　Many agreed with Rong Ting\'s words and looked at Gu Li with anticipation-filled eyes, They wished that he would change his decision. 

　　Gu Li sighed because he could not help but find Rong Ting\'s words reasonable. 

　　He nodded his head in agreement. 

　　Rong Ting\'s face relaxed and before any other shadow guard could step forward to take this job, he stepped forward.

　　However, it took him a moment to decide what he should call Li Rui. After much thought, he finally said 

　　"Lady Li, if you find it alright, then I can help you." 

　　Li Rui nodded her head and the shadow guards looked at Rong Ting with shock and anger-filled eyes. 

　　They had saved Gu Li but it never meant that Rong Ting was any less important. 

　　Other than these two, any other person could take this job. 

　　So many of them protested again. However, this time, Gu Li didn\'t listen to anyone. No one knew but he had been told by Xi Ying that the fact that Mi Luan and Li Rui were the same people should not be told to many people …at least not yet. 

　　Even though his shadow guards knew this already, at least they have not seen Li Rui\'s special methods of treatment that the old physicians were talking about. 

　　He didn\'t want Xi Ying to feel that Li Rui was not safe so he thought it would be better if either he or Rong Ting took this job. 

　　Hence, Rong Ting went with Li Rui and the other six physicians to some other tent. 

　　Gu Li, of course, accompanied them. He wanted to be there just in case Li Rui needed something else during the process.

　　Seeing this, how could Xi Ying stay behind.

　　He looked towards his son who was playing with Li Hua and other shadow guards and then followed all of them. 

　　Who could dare to stop him!

　　However, when Li Rui saw him inside the tent, she was a little surprised but she didn\'t say anything. 

　　She asked Rong Ting to lie down on the wooden plank. The wooden plank had been arranged by Gu Li because she had asked him for a few things the last evening only. 

　　It was perfect and at the height she needed it to be. 

　　Rong Ting did as she told him to do. 

　　However, he had just sat on the wooden plank when Li Rui asked him to remove his robe and the other clothes that covered his upper body. 

　　Rong Ting paused and looked at her seriously as if he was trying to confirm what he heard was what she was really saying. 

　　Gu Li also had a weird expression on his face while Xi Ying standing in the corner of the tent didn\'t have any emotions on his face. 

　　He kept reminding himself of the words Li Rui had said to him. It helped him to a great extent. She was his wife. He reminded himself of the way she allows him to touch her and no one else. 

　　At this moment, Rong Ting was merely a body for him on which she would perform the treatment for the other physicians. 

　　Li Rui didn\'t notice the weird silence inside the tent. She had actually turned around to take out a box from a bundle and then from that wooden box, she took out a few needles. 

　　It was only when she turned around she noticed that Rong Ting had not removed his clothes. 

　　Confused she asked him

　　"Brother Rong Ting, is there some problem?"

　　Rong Ting\'s face was stiff and he didn\'t know what he should say so he looked Gu Li for help. 

　　Gu Lii cleared his throat and looked at Li Rui.

　　"Rui, he needs to remove his clothes?"

　　Li Rui nodded her head calmly and said \'yes\' at the same time. 

　　It was the old physician who was feeling very impatient. He was already excited at the fact that Li Rui was going to perform the acupuncture again in front of him. In his eyes, it was an art. An art he had thought he would never get to see but today he was getting to learn it so how could he let anyone spoil his day. 

　　He stepped forward and looked at Rong Ting strictly as he said

　　"You need to remove your clothes for her to perform the treatment. She needs to perform acupuncture. How can you expect her to do that with you wearing the clothes!"     

　　However, Rong Ting was still very confused. He didn\'t know what this acupuncture so he didn\'t understand why he needed to remove his clothes. 

　　He had thought that he would need to drink some kind of medicinal drink or eat paste of herbs so that she would be able to check their credibility. 

　　However, this was something he had never expected. He could only look at Gu Li who was suddenly feeling relieved that he was not in Rong Ting\'s place at this moment. 

　　He would have not been able to remove his clothes in front of Li Rui who was his sister. The remembrance that he had made her sleep on the same bed was already a little awkward for him. However, he could let it go thinking that she was very young. 

　　But removing his clothes in front of Li Rui…it would only make him feel more awkward and embarrassed in front of her.
