Chapter 33 Here Comes Trouble

Bazar Batu was taken away by the river currents. Not too far away, he saw a door panel floating nearby, and he grabbed the door panel. He climbed up the door panel. He looked around he saw corpses of the dead and people screaming trying to get out of the river. He looked up at the burning pagoda and only the first floor was still remain while the rest of the pagoda flowing down the river.

Bazar Batu shouted, "Lok ge ge! Lok ge ge!"

Bazar Batu heard Chen Dandan yelled, "Don't let go of my hand."

Yan Zhanjin, "Dandan…I can't hold it anymore...My hand is slipping..."

Bazar Batu saw Yan Zhanjin grasping a rock tightly with his left hand, while his right hand grasped Chen Dandan's hand tightly.

Bazar Batu called out, "Dandan… grabbed my hand." He reached out his hand to Chen Dandan. "Yan-Xiong, hold tight."

Yan Zhanjin saw Bazar Batu slowly floating towards them. Once he saw Bazar Batu grabbing Chen Dandan's hand, his hand could no longer hold onto the rock. His hand slipped, and he and Dandan hit the door panel where Bazar Batu was. Because of the high river currents, Yan Zhanjin missed Bazar Batu's hand.

Chen Dandan shouted, "Shixiong!"

Bazar Batu noticed that the currents speeds were increasing. This means that they are drifting downstream, not too far away from them, it must be a waterfall or a big water dip. Bazar Batu have to think of a plan. If they fall down the waterfall or water dip, it might be their end. If the water is not deep enough, or there are a lot of rocks, then they will definitely fall to death. Then, a vine was thrown at them, and Bazar Batu caught the vine.

Yan Zhanjin called out from the river bank, "Catch!"

Bazar Batu looked to the side, Yan Zhanjin held the other end of the vine tightly. Bazar Batu clutched the vine tightly. He looked at Chen Dandan and said, "Dandan, hold my waist tightly."

Bazar Batu and Chen Dandan were pulled towards the river bank. Yong Taihua stretched out his hand to Chen Dandan and pulled her out safely. Yong Taihua stretched out his hand again to Bazar Batu and pulled him out of the river.

Bazar Batu looks at the river and the people passing by. He didn't believe he would see Kuo Lok in the river, but his heart was not at ease. He looked at Yong Taihua, Yan Zhanjin and Chen Dandan, and asked, "Why are you three here?"

Yong Taihua, "We are locked on the second floor of the pagoda."

Bazar Batu, "There are people locked in the second floor? What about the third floor?"

Yong Taihua, "We don't know."

Bazar Batu, "Why does Yueguang sector want to held so many young disciples inside the pagoda?"

Yong Taihua, "They said they were going to Shaolin."

Yan zhanjin, "We don't know anything. We followed Sword Village."

Chen Dandan, "Is that Miao Mingzhu, or whatever her name's fault. She poisoned us."

Yong Taihua, "Let's leave here first."

Bazar Batu said, "You three keep going. I'm still looking for Lok ge ge."

Yan Zhanjin, "That big idiot is with you?"

Bazar Batu turned around and looked at Yan Zhanjin madly, "He has a name, its Kuo Lok."

Yan Zhanjin, "Then we will wait for him. If he float by, we can help him."

The four people waited on the bank of the river until there were no floating body or debris.

Yong Taihua said, "No more dead body or debris floating by. Let's go."

Chen Dandan smiled at Bazar Batu, "This is a good thing. We didn't see him, which means he has got out of the river and is already in a safe place."

Yan Zhanjin said, "Let's go look for sheltered."

Mu Dishi looked at the rest of the burning pagoda and found many young dead, but Ma Jinggou, Yong Taihua and Yong Caixia were not among the dead. He turned around and started walking away, but Wang Biming held his hand. Mu Dishi pulled his hand away.

Wang Biming, "Dishi, listen to me."

Mu Dishi looked at Wang Biming coldly and said, "You lied to me. Long da ye had been dead for a long time."

Wang Biming, "How do you know that?"

Mu Dishi said, "I have confirmed it myself."

Wang Biming, "How?"

Mu Dishi, "Leader Yong showed me. Monk Hao is buried next to Long da ye."

Wang Biming, "They just said that to confuses you."

Mu Dishi, "Long da ye is your shifu, you must know that his left hand has six fingers. He looked at Wang Biming coldly. "The Biming I knew before would never lie to me. I'm not sure if I know you anymore."

Wang Biming mocked, "The Dishi know will never love others, only me."

Mu Dishi then said, "I'm leaving because my two students are not here."

Wang Biming asked, "Why? Why choose him?"

Mu Dishi, "He told me that he would love me a hundred times more than you."

Wang Biming, "Dishi, no one will love you more than me."

Mu Dishi said, "I believed him."

Wang Biming, "Why?"

Mu Dishi, "Because he will never lie to me."

Wang Biming, "Are you sure about that?"

Mu Dishi, "I'm sure. I believe that his trust in me is at the same degree as my trust in him."

Wang Biming, "You believe him, that he and Kuo Changchang had done nothing wrong inside that trap room?"

Mu Dishi, "How did you know?"

Wang Biming, "Everyone knows. But I don't believe that someone like him will love you more than me."

Mu Dishi, "Believe what you want to believe."

Wang Biming, "Let's bet." He looked at Mu Dishi. "There is a village nearby. Let's wait for him. If he shows up and runs back to you, then I lose, but if he has other people, you lose."

Mu Dishi, "I don't have to make this deal with you."

Wang Biming said, "This is in your best interest. If you lose, you can just tell me how you completed the 'Killer String Manual' when no one else can."

Mu Dishi, "What if you lose?"

Wang Biming, "I will accept your decision."

Mu Dishi said, "Fine."

Inside the tavern where Mu Dishi and Wang Biming were sitting at the table, survivors of different clans and sectors began to appear. Many disciples of different clans did not know Mu Dishi or Wang Biming, so they chose to ignore the two people sitting around the corner. Then, the disciples of Jinfeng sector began to appear with Kuo Wenqian. Then sometime later, Kuo Lok appeared with Yong Caixia.

When Yong Caixia saw Wang Biming, her eyes were full of hatred.

Kuo Wenqian, "Caixia, now is not the time."

Then Bazar Batu, Yong Taihua, Yan Zhanjin, and Chen Dandan appeared shortly after Kuo Lok and Yong Caxia. When Bazar Batu saw Kuo Lok, he was very happy. He rushed into the tavern and hugged Kuo Lok.

Yong Taihua walked to Mu Dishi and greeted Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi said, "I came here to save you, but when I got there, the pagoda was completely brunt to the ground."

Yong Taihua smiled at Mu Dishi and said, "Thank you shizun for worrying about me and Caixia."

Mu Dishi then said, "Tomorrow I will leave with you two." He looked at Yong Taihua. "Taihua, with your skills, you will not be able to defeat Biming."

Yong Taihua, "I know. We will wait for you tomorrow." He returned to the dining table and sat next to Yong Caixia.

Bazar Batu smiled with tears and said, "Lok ge ge, I thought you are dead."

Kuo Lok, "How many times have I told you?"

Bazar Batu interrupted Kuo Lok, "A man would rather shed blood than tears. You told me that many times." He looked around the corner and saw Mu Dishi and Wang Biming sitting together. Coming from the main entrance were Ma Jingguo and Zhu Suyin. He looked at Kuo Lok and said, "Here comes trouble."

As soon as Ma Jingguo and Zhu Suyin walked in, Ma Jingguo looked at Mu Dishi. He reached out and grabbed Zhu Suyin's right hand, held her hand, and the two walked into the inn. Ma Jingguo deliberately sat on the table next to Mu Dishi and Wang Biming.

Wang Biming looked at Mu Dishi who sat expressionless. Wang Biming knows that Mu Dishi is the kind of person who maintains his emotion extremely well. He will not show any emotions to let others know how he feels. Wang Biming knew that Ma Jinggou's actions made Mu Dishi know that he was no longer interested in Mu Dishi, and Mu Dishi knew this too.

Wang Biming poured Mu Dishi more tea and said, "It seem like you have to do what we promised."

Mu Dishi looked at him and said, "I understand."

Ma Jingguo, sitting on another table, couldn't help over heard their conversation about Mu Dishi's promise to Wang Biming. Deep down he wanted to know what Mu Dishi promised Wang Biming.

The waiter asked, "What can I get you?"

Zhu Suyin said, "We would like two room and two plate of dishes."

Ma Jingguo glance at Mu Dishi, but Mu Dishi did not flinch, instead he chewed his food handsomely. Since the person sitting across from Mu Dishi should be him, he was seriously hurt inside.

Wang Biming noticed Ma Jingguo's gaze, he then picked up some food and put it inside Mu Dishi's bowl. He said, "Dishi, eat more vegetables since you love vegetables."

Then suddenly, the chopsticks in Ma Jingguo's hand folded into four. He looked at the waiter and said, "We only need one room."

Wang Biming looked at Mu Dishi, "Dishi, should we also sleep in the same room?"

Mu Dishi replied, "Whatever." He continued to eat his food.

Ma Jingguo wanted to jump over and cut off Wang Binming's head. He was very angry with Mu Dishi and Wang Binming's love affair. They even mention about sleeping in the same room in front of him without shame. The image of Mu Dishi undressing in front of Wang Binming suddenly came to mind. He hit the table fiercely and shouted: "Wang Binming..."

Wang Biming smiled and said, "Don't forgot you can't defeat me." He picked up some vegetables and put them in Mu Dishi's bowl.

Ma Jingguo stood there looking angrily at Mu Dishi and Wang Biming.

After dinner, everyone entered their room, Mu Dishi saw Ma Jingguo holding Zhu Suyin's hand, and the two entered the room they had reserved. Mu Dishi saw the shadows of Ma Jingguo and Suyin. He saw Ma Jingguo started to take off Suyin's robe, then pulled Zhu Suyin to his arm and kissed Zhu Suyin's forehead. Then Ma Jingguo blew out the candle.

Wang Biming then said, "You lost. Come back to me."

Mu Dishi said, "When I practice killer strings, the dark energy hidden inside the manual will make me lose concentration, so I let Jingguo play flute melodies while I practice. You can try this method maybe it might work with your Devil Fist progress." He walked passed Wang Biming. "Bingmig, as old classmate, I still suggest that you stop practicing Devil Fist."

Wang Biming said, "Dishi, are you definitely don't want to come back with me."

Mu Dishi, "Of all people, you should know me best. You don't need to convince me anymore."

Wang Biming watched Mu Dishi despaired into the night.
