Chapter 09  Old Acquaintance

Early in the morning, Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu were the first to awake. They walked out of their room into the main dining area. They saw two men sitting at a table. From a distance, they thought that the old man with white hair must be the grandfather of the handsome young man sitting opposite him.

Bazar Batu and Kuo Lok are sitting at a table near the kitchen. After a while, Yong Taihua, Yong Caixia and the other five disciples from Sword Village approached the dining area. They went straight to the two men and greeted the two men.

Bazar Batu said, "Lok ge ge, that must be the master of sword village." He stared at the tables of the two men. "Wow, that man is handsome."

Kou Lok looked at the two men. He said, "Oh…"

Bazar Batu, "Oh? That's it."

Kuo Lok, "Does Batu like him?"

Bazar Batu sneered, "What if I do? What are you going to do about it?"

Kuo Lok, "Nothing."

Bazar Batu chuckled.

Fu Yuanjun and the ten elders of Tianshan walked into the dining area, and they went straight to the table for both of them.

Bazar Batu stood up, but Kuo Lok grabbed his hand.

Bazar Batu, "Lok ge ge, I just want to know who they are. Why do all these people go to greet them." He smiled. "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble." He took two steps forward. "On second thought, we should go together." He grabbed Kuo Lok's hand, and the two men walked to the group.

Bazar Batu took a peek and found that the white-haired man was actually not old at all. He became excited, pushed Yong Taihua aside and gave way to the table. He smiled happily at the white-haired man. He put his hand on the left shoulder of the white-haired man.

Bazar Batu said excitedly, "Da ge, it's you."

Ma Jingguo put down the tea and looked at Bazar Batu. He smiled at the young Mongol teen. Then he asked, "Are you still running away from home?"

Bazar Batu nodded and said, "Yes."

Ma Jingguo, "How many time now?"

Bazar Batu, "This is the tenth time." Then he looked at the handsome man sitting across from Ma Jingguo. He approached Ma Jingguo's ear and whispered, "Is he the wife you talked about?"

Ma Jingguo scoffed and said, "Hush…" He glanced at Mu Dishi. "Xiao shushu, don't be upset. I will tell you later."

Yong Taihua yanked Bazar Batu away from Ma Jingguo, "Don't stay too close to him?"

Bazar Batu, "Why not?"

Yong Taihua, "It's because it's inappropriate."

The two men began to argue.

Entering from the main entrance are Cao Wenyan and Cao Yanmei. When Cao Wenyan saw Mu Dishi, he walked in immediately. He stood in front of Mu Dishi.

Cao Wenyan smiled and looked at Mu Dishi, "Mu gongzi, I never thought I would meet you here." He smiled and looked at Mu Dishi. "Don't be so cold, I'm sure when you smile, you are more handsome. We have met before, but you never even look at me once. Looking at me, won't kill you."

Ma Jingguo replied, "If my xiao shushu look at you, he will kill you." He smiled at Mu Dishi. "My xiao shushu's smile is priceless. He would only smile at that special person. Xiao shushu, Am I right?" He smiled at Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi smiled at Ma Jingguo.

Cao Wenyan, "Who are you?"

Approaching from the front entrance, Hua Jian walked into the tavern. Mo Ehuang and Suo Dongmei walked behind Hua Jian.

As soon as Mo Ehuang saw Mu Dishi, her face turned black. Her eyes are glued to Mu Dishi.

Yong Taihua, "I didn't know that so many clans and sectors will be visiting Sword Village?" He looked at Hua Jian. "Hua gongzi."

Hua Jian smiled, "Yong gongzi." He smiled at Yong Taihua. "If the hero conference meeting is about the Mu treasure map, you will have to except more than the seven sectors and four clans to be there."

Fu Yuanjun, "Look who is talking, since you say Mu treasure map. This map belong to Mu de ga, you have no shame."

Hua Jian, "Leader Fu, last time I heard that you sent one of your disciples to steal a map from my da shixiong. So, who is the shameless person?"

Fu Yuanjun, "I only get it for Mu da ge."

Mu Dishi stood up and said coldly, "I don't want that map. Everyone should not be seeking for that map. Those who touched that map eventually died. You should all reconsider." He looked at Ma Jingguo. "Jingguo, let's go."

When Mu Dishi and Ma Jingguo began to leave the group. Kuo Lok shouted, "Wait." Mu Dishi and Ma Jingguo turned around. "Are you Ma Jingguo?"

Bazar Batu, "Lok ge ge, what is it?"

Kuo Lok said angrily, "Ma Jingguo a defected disciple of Jinfeng Sect?"

Ma Jingguo scoffed, "Defected…you can say so." He looked at Mu Dishi. "Xiao shushu, let's go."

Kuo Lok clenched his fists tightly.

Bazar Batu holds his left wrist. He said, 'Lok ge ge, calm down."

Kuo Lok pushed Bazar Batu away, he flew straight with his palm strike directly at Ma Jinggou, full of anger and hatred.

Mu Dishi pushed Ma Jingguo behind him and counterattacked Kuo Lok's palm strike. Mu Dishi sent Kou Lok flying backward towards the group of people. Kuo Lok fell to his knees and slid all the way to the kitchen.

Cao Wenyan, who had not witness Mu Dishi in a duel, was astonished by Mu Dishi inner strength. Now he understood what his father meant that he could have any men or women, but not Mu Dishi. In addition, he understood why his father was worried that Mu Dishi would prevent them from conquering the six sectors.

Yong Taihua, Yong Caixia, and the other five disciple of Sword Village unsheathed swords. They stood before Mu Dishi and ready to lunge their swords at Kuo Lok.

Blood flowed from the corner of Kuo Lok's mouth. Bazar Batu rushed over and helped him up. Kuo Lok wiped the blood on his mouth with his right hand, still staring at Ma Jingguo.

Bazar Batu has never seen Kuo Lok mad, so this surprised him. He asked, "Lok ge ge, what are you doing?"

Kuo Lok looked at Bazar Batu and said sternly, "This is not your problem. Please stay away."

Ma Jingguo looked at Kuo Lok, "Friend, why do you want to hurt me?"

Kuo Lok, "Ma Jingguo, if not for you. My sister will not be a nun."

Ma Jingguo, "You must be Ah Lok?"

Kuo Lok, "Yes."

Ma Jingguo, "Have you met your sister?"

Kuo Lok, "Not yet?"

Ma Jingguo, "Go see her first. If she want revenge, you and her can come at me." He looked at Kuo Lok firmly. "If you dare make a single hair of my xiao shushu's hair fall, I will not go easy on you."

Yong Caixia, "And, if you dare to hurt my shizun, you will be enemy of Sword Village."

Elder Tong, "Dishi, I'm sure this is a misunderstanding."

Bazar Batu, "Yes, this is some misunderstanding." He looked at Kuo Lok. "Lok ge ge, let us go see your sister first."

Mu Dishi looked at Kuo Lok coldly and said, "If you want to hurt him, you must pass me."

Ma Jingguo smiled at Mu Dishi with his big puppy eyes. He said, "Xiao shushu, you finally said it."

Mu Dishi, "We are not going to Sword Village." He looked at Yong Taihua. "Jingguo, let's go."

Kuo Lok watched Ma Jingguo left happily with Mu Dishi through the front entrance.

Bazar Batu looked at Kuo Lok and said, "Lok ge ge, are you injured anywhere?"

Kuo Lok, "Batu, I see that you like Ma Jinggou very much. Why don't you follow him?"

Bazar Batu said angrily, "Now you are not so dull anymore, huh? Bastard." Bazar Batu was very angry at Kuo Lok and hit Kuo Lok's right chest. He stormed out the front entrance angrily.

Kuo Lok watched Bazar Batu left through the front entrance. He knows that he is not as smart as Ma Jinggou, or not as talented in skill, which is why Bazar Batu liked Ma Jinggou more than him.

Everyone started to leave and leave Kuo Lok by himself in the open dining area. After everyone had left, Kuo Lok then slowly walked out the front entrance.

Kuo Lok's eyes looked straight ahead. His sisters told him that they would wait for him in Sword Village. Even though his relationship with them is not good, he still determined to go meet his sisters. After walking out of the entrance of the tavern, he heard it.

"Lok ge ge, you finally decided to come out."
