Chapter 42 Feeding the Fire

Yan Zhanjin helped Cao Yanmei up. He went to see Ma Jingguo. He slowly pulled the needle from the back of Ma Jingguo's head. Ma Jingguo slowly woke up.

Ma Jingguo asked, "What happened?"

Miao Mingzhu asked, "What level are you?"

Ma Jingguo, "What do you mean?"

Miao Mingzhu asked again, "What level are you in the Devil Fist Manual?"

Ma Jingguo, "Eight."

Miao Mingzhu smiled and said, "No wonder you lose control. Has anyone told you that practicing the Devil Fist Manual requires a high price?" She looked at Ma Jingguo. "You may be powerful, but soon you will lose your sanity and all those memories. The person who taught you the Devil Fist Manual must hated you very much."

Ma Jingguo, "What do you mean?"

Miao Mingzhu, Have you ever thought about why... leader Wang and Wang shixiong never practiced further than level six?" She looked at Ma Jingguo. "Because the more you progress, the greater the impact on your memory. Soon you don't even remember who you are. You will have the mind of a toddler." She smiled. "It's called the Devil Fist Manual for a reason."

Yan Zhanjin, "What about Mingyang?"

Miao Mingzhu, "You saw it with your own eyes. Zhu Mingyang has to stop at level seven. Don't you remember what happened in Jinfeng Sector? He almost kill you."

Ma Jingguo murmured softly, "Why did she lie to me?"

Miao Mingzhu said, "She must hate you very much." She looked at Ma Jingguo and coaxed. "Young master, why are you still being so nice to those people?" She studied his expression, and she knew that she could manipulate Ma Jingguo. "Mu Dishi is right in one thing. Anyone who tries to approach him always wants something. Do you think Mu Dishi is willing to bring these people here? He made a deal with them."

Ma Jingguo asked angrily, "What deal?"

Miao Mingzhu smiled and said, "If he brings leader Wang here, leader Wang will let my da shixiong marry Mu Dishi." She looked at Ma Jingguo, and Ma Jingguo's expression indicated that he had taken the bait. "Do you know that they swore their marriage in Mu Village?"

Ma Jing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He remembered what Mu Dishi had told him. Wang Biming once proposed to Mu Dishi to marry him when Mu Dishi turned eighteen years of age.

Miao Mingzhu continued, "Two young couples are sitting in the beautiful bamboo forest. Looking at the moon, holding hands, let the moon witness their vows. How romantic is this? Sweet... very sweet..." She looked at Ma Jingguo's angry expression on his face. "My da shixiong gave Mu Dishi a necklaces, and Mu Dishi has been wearing it on his head. I believe you have noticed it."

Yan Zhanjin, "Ma-xiong, don't listen to her."

Miao Mingzhu said, "Ma Jingguo, you might think that if you practice the Devil Fist Manual with all your heart, and you would be Mu Dishi's equal, but you are wrong. Devil Fist was created to destroy Killer String Manual is only a rumor. You are the killer string when Mu Dishi order you to kill. As far as I know, people who practiced Devil Fist Manual are crazy in the end. Have you ever wondered why no one is afraid of Devil Fist Manual?"

Yan Zhanjin looked at Miao Mingzhu angrily, and said, "Stop talking."

Miao Mingzhu, "Because whoever completes Devil Fist Manual will eventually forget everything. At the end, he will not remember how to use the Devil Fist fighting techniques." She smiled. "Now, you see that people who encourage you to practice really want to hurt you. When you finish it, you don't even remember who Mu Dishi is. They say the person you want to remember the most is the first to be erase from your memory."

A Beixing disciple ran towards Cao Yanmei. He said, "Young master, sent a signal. They entered the cave."

Cao Yanmei stood up and said, "Everyone move now." Cao Yanmei looked at Ma Jingguo. She has a soft spot for Ma Jingguo, because she has never seen someone who loves someone so much and is willing to go through thick and thin for that person.

Cao Yanmei walked to Ma Jingguo and said, "You follow us. My brother said there are many traps from here to the cave."

Ma Jingguo stood up and closed his eyes. He looked at Cao Yanmei.

Cao Yanmei said, "I can only take you to the empty cave, but my father's request me not go in. Everyone who is here are here to seek happiness, I hope you find yours." She looked at her subordinates, and they began to walk up the mountain.

After listening to Miao Mingzhu, Ma Jingguo understood why Kuo Ju hated him so much. Until now, he does not regret what he did. If he could go back in time, he would still leave Kuo Changchang to pursue Mu Dishi. He feels guilty, but he will do it because he really loves Mu Dishi. He may pretend not to care about Mu Dishi and the people around him, but the fact is, knowing that Mu Dishi has never forgotten Wang Biming, really hurt him.

Yan Zhanjin looked at Ma Jingguo and he knew that Ma Jingguo has a lot on his mind lately. He learns who his mother is, and the family relationship between him and Wang is close. Although he hates Wang Biming, he turns out to be Ma Jingguo's uncle and his rival in love.

Ma Jingguo asked, "Zhanjin, you know that Zhu-xiong loves you no better than his brother. Why do you continue to like him?"

Yan Zhanjin looked at Ma Jingguo and replied, "Just because he doesn't feel the same to me as I do to him, it doesn't prevent me from liking him. I like him for no reason, and never except anything in return."

Ma Jingguo, "Wang Biming told me that Mu Dishi has always loved me, I don't know if it is true?"

Yan Zhanjin, "Why don't you ask him when you see him?"

Ma Jingguo, "Every time he lied to me, I would coax myself saying that that was not what he wanted to said. Somehow, if I kept telling myself that I would feel better. Everytime when he leaves me, I will secretly hoping with the smallest hope of reuniting with him ."

Yan Zhanjin, "Ma-xiong, if loving him hurts you so much, why do you still love him?"

Ma Jingguo couldn't find the answer to Yan Zhanjin's question. He looked at Yan Zhanjin and said, "I don't know." This question struck Ma Jingguo's heart deeply. He didn't know why he always loved Mu Dishi, although Mu Dishi had been hurting him, but he loved Mu Dishi for so long that Mu Dishi became his favorite medicine, and his addiction was beyond control. "Maybe, chasing him gave me a purpose to live."
