Chapter 15 We Are Alike

Zhu Mingyang spent three days guarding Mu Dishi and Ku Jing Song. He have to make sure that no one inside Jinfeng Sector knew that the one that Kuo Jing Song is helping is Mu Dishi. He knows that over the years, Mu Dishi has made many enemies. If people know that Mu Dishi is here inside Jinfeng Sector, those who hold grudges against him will knocking on Jenfeng Sector's door.

Early in the morning on the third day, Zhu Mingyang noticed that Mu Dishi had opened his eyes and began to use his inner strength to heal himself. Mu Dishi also opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Mingyang from time to time.

Mu Dishi asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Zhu Mingyang replied, "Xiongtai, don't force yourself, you will hurt the person sitting behind you who is currently helping you, please concentrate."

Two hours later, Kuo Jing Song pulled his hands away from Mu Dishi's back and he began to meditate to restore his inner energy. Mu Dishi is doing the same thing. Knowing that the two were safe, Zhu Mingyang opened the door and met Ma Jinggou, Kuo Wenqian, and Chen Dandan. He quickly closed the door behind him.

Kuo Wenqian asked, "How are they?"

Zhu Mingyang answered, "They are fine."

Chen Dandan said, "Take the injured man out and bring back my shixiong."

Zhu Mingyang, "Not now."

Chen Dandan, "Why?"

Zhu Mingyang, "I will not let you in. This is an important stage. You may kill him if you break in."

Chen Dandan, "I don't care."

Kuo Wenqian, "Dandan, he is right."

Chen Dandan forced her in, but Zhu Mingyang stopped her. Ma Jinggou reached out from the other side to knock on the knocker, but was kicked by Zhu Mingyang. Ma Jinggou and Zhu Mingyang began to fight. Chen Dandan reached out and opened the door, but Kou Jing Song walked out.

Chen Dandan, "Shifu…"

Kuo Jing Song said, "Stop fighting. Don't make any noise. The person inside is using his inner energy to pass the qi through his meridians. If he lose concentration, the things we have worked so hard over the past few days will end vein."

Zhu Mingyang and Ma Jinggou stopped fighting and looked towards the opened door, only to see Kuo Jing Song standing there with his hands behind his back.

Kou Jing Song continued, "Qian'er, let someone prepare a room for them. It will take him three full days to fully recover." Kuo Jing Song looked at Zhu Mingyang. "Guard Zhu, I kept my end of the deal, I hope that guard Zhu will bring Zhanjin back safely."

Zhu Mingyang said, "I will guarantee his safety, but in order to ensure his safety, I have to send a message to the kidnappers."

Kuo Jing Song, "Very good."

Kuo Wenqian, "Guard Zhu, you can follow me."

Zhu Mingyang entered the meditation room and walked out of the meditation room with Mu Dishi in his arms. The morning sun sting Mu Dishi's eyes. Before he could adjust to the sun, he blinked a few times. When he saw Kuo Jing Song, he finally realized that he is inside Jinfeng Sector. He looked directly at Ma Jinggou, his heart was broken, because he could hardly recognize Ma Jinggou, if he hadn't seen Ma Jinggou's puppy eyes. He stared at Ma Jinggou without blinking, and Zhu Mingyang walked farther and farther away. He wanted to stop Zhu Mingyang. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't make a sound.

Chen Dandan frowned, "Ma shixiong, that person looked at you as if he blinks, you will despair."

Ma Jinggou also stared at the injured man. The figure of the injured man reminded him of Mu Dishi. Ma Jinggou quickly followed Zhu Mingyang, the injured man, and Kuo Wenqian.

Zhu Mingyang put Mu Dishi on the bed, and he closed the door behind him. He pulled a stool and sat in front of Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi asked, "Who are you? What are we doing inside Jinfeng Sector?"

Zhu Mingyang replied, "I am Zhu Mingyang. Cao Wenyan held my friend hostage and forced Kuo Jing Song to treat you. For the next three days, you cannot use your internal energy."

Mu Dishi wanted to lift the veil, but Zhu Mingyang quickly stopped him. He said, "Mu Dishi, keep that on. I heard that everyone thinks you are dead. Now the only people who know you are alive are Cao Wenyan, my friend Zhanjin, and me. You have too many enemies. Do you really want to show yourself and announce to the martial arts world that you are still alive?" Mu Dishi slowly dropped his hand down. "If people know that you are alive and you can't use your inner energy for the next three days, what do you think will happen?"

Mu Dishi said, "I understand."

Then the door was pushed hard and opened violently. Ma Jinggou and Chen Dandan walked into the guest room.

Zhu Mingyang stood in front of Mu Dishi, facing Ma Jinggou and Chan Dandan.

Ma Jinggou approached and said, "Get out of the way." He pushed Zhu Mingyang aside. He looked at the man covering his face withe the veil hat. "Have we met before?" He stared at the man. The man did not answer, but closed his eyes and started to meditate. Ma Jinggou asked again. "Have we met before?" He reached out to lift the man's veil, but was stopped by Zhu Mingyang.

Zhu Mingyang grasped Ma Jinggou's hand tightly and said, "Please show some respect."

Ma Jinggou said firmly, "I want to see his face."

Zhu Mingyang, "Seeing his face, Zhanjin will die."

Ma Jinggou said, "I don't care."

Chen Dandan grabbed Ma Jinggou's hand, "Ma Shixiong, that's enough."

Zhu Mingyang said, "This person is deaf and mute. No matter how loud you call him, he can't hear you."

Ma Jinggou, "That pair of eyes."

Zhu Mingyang grabbed Ma Jinggou's wrist forcefully, "Xiongtai, if you keep crossing the line, I will stop being polite." He yanked Ma Jinggou's hand away from Mu Dishi's face.

Ma Jinggou and Chen Dandan walked to the door, then Ma Jinggou turned around and said with the sweet voice he had always called Mu Dishi. He smiled and said, "Xiao shushu, should I go get you some green tea?" He stared at the man sitting on the bed, the man closed his eyes without any movement. Then Ma Jinggou walked out of the room.

Outside the small guest room, Chen Dandan followed Ma Jinggou. She said, "Ma Shixiong, what are you doing?"

Ma Jinggou, "Dandan, that man's eyes, looks exactly like xiao shushu."

Zhu Mingyang looked at Mu Dishi who has not opened his eyes since Ma Jinggou and Chen Dandan left. Zhu Mingyang asked, "How did he suspected you?"

Mu Dishi said, "If you stayed with someone for so long, no matter how much the individual changed, you can always recognize him with the smallest movement."

Zhu Mingyang then said, "If that's the case, why not go back to him?"

Mu Dishi, "I have my reason."

Zhu Mingyang, "Mu Dishi, somehow, you are very similar to me. We have always dreamed of being loved by someone, but when we finally got our wish, there is always something that separates us from the one we love."

Mu Dishi, "You speak as if you know who I am."

Zhu Mingyang, "You don't remember?"

Mu Dishi, "No."

Zhu Mingyang said, "We have met before. The blind man in white clothes and his men. I was his guard, Zhu Mingyang."

Mu Dishi, finally remembered that incident on the road. Ma Jinggou and Zhu Mingyang had also fought before, but at that time he didn't pay much attention to the two of them.. "How is the blind man?"

Zhu Mingyang said, "He is fine."

Mu Dishi, "Why don't you stay with him?"

Zhu Mingyang, "He doesn't need me anymore. He is married and will be a father soon."

Zhu Mingyang's words left a deep impression on Mu Dishi. Mu Dishi looked at Zhu Mingyang and said, "What you just said is correct, we are somewhat similar."

Zhu Mingyang said, "Mu Dishi, please return back with me, if you don't, Cao Wenyan going to kill my friend."

Mu Dishi said, "I understand. I will not make trouble for you."

Inside the conference hall of Yueguang sector, Wang Zedong put down four maps and the jade hairpin.

Wang Biming asked, "Father, why do we want to enter the Mu treasure cave so much?"

Wang Zedong, "I want to bring your brother home."

Wang Biming, "Father, what else are you hiding from me?"

Wang Zedong said, "Before your brother committed suicide, he sent me a message saying that he knew the secret of 'killer string'. I asked him and he refused to tell me. He apologized and committed suicide."

Wang Biming, "So, you are not seeking for the treasure inside that cave?"

Wang Zedong, "Silly child, do you think that Mu Jiao Long is that stupid to put his money in there. There might be some treasure inside the cave, but it's only for your brother to live a comfortably life after death ."

Wang Biming asked, "What does Cao Fengge want?"

Wang Zedong, "If I guessed it correctly, Cao Fengge want the crops preserve powder that is currently cover your brother's entire body, and the ingredients of how to make the powder that Mu Jiao Long hides somewhere inside that treasure cave." He laughed. "Cao Fengge was so crazy about the powder. He killed the entire Rao Family, but he got nothing at the end."

A disciple came in with a letter. The disciple said, "Chief Wang, there is a letter to you."

Wang Zedong laughed and said, "Go ahead and read it."

The disciple read, "Dear chief Wang, if you want to retaliate against Kuo Jing Song, now is your chance. He has just cured Mu Dishi using half of his internal energy. Both Kuo Jing Song and Mu Dishi's inner energy are cut in half. This is a golden opportunity. Killing two birds with one stone."

Wang Zedong took the letter from the disciple. He looked at the corner of the letter and saw a small red flower. Wang Zedong smiled and said, "Ming'er, summon the ten seniors. I am going to return Kuo Jing Song's Heavenly Palm Strike back to him."
