Chapter 06 Remembering Hatred

The guzheng melody was played softly, the breeze blew all over Rao Zhengsheng, and he waved his sword following the rhythm of the guzheng melodies. Rao Zhengsheng practiced in the backyard of the Yuan family. Rao Zhengsheng's butterfly blade flies in the air, like a butterfly dancing with the wind. When the melody ended, Rao Zhengsheng finished his practice and walked into the small pavilion. He smiled at Yuan Xiurong.

Yuan Xiurong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Rao Zhengsheng. She smiled and said, "Rao gege, your butterfly sword is better, but why not use it instead of your sword?"

Rao Zhengsheng, "I'm not ready yet, I want to kill Cao Fengge with these swords."

Yuan Xiurong took out a yellow amulet folded into a triangle and handed it to Rao Zhengsheng. She smiled and said, "I went to the temple the other day and asked for this amulet from one of the monks."

Rao Zhengsheng took the amulet and put it in his robe. He smiled at Yuan Xiurong and said, "Xiurong, thank you for everything you and leader Yuan had done for Lanying and me."

A maid ran towards Rao Zhengsheng and Yuan Xiurong. Then she stood outside the small pavilion and said, "Er xiaojie, Er xiaojie, Da xiaojie is back."

Yuan Xiurong asked, "How? Where is she?"

The maid replied, "Da xiaojie is escorted by the Gu family guard. She is not in the manor, she is in the abandoned hut in the back hill."

Yuan Xiurong, "What happened?"

The maid replied, "Da xiaojie came back with a divorce order."

Yuan Xiurong, "Rao gege, I am going to go see her."

Rao Zhengsheng, "I will accompany you."

When they walked out of the backyard and towards the front room, they saw Dong Lanying walking in with Yuan Zixin.

Yuan Zixin asked, "Where are the two of you going?"

Yuan Xiurong said, "Father, why do you want Jiejie to stay in the abandoned hut in the hill?"

Yuan Zixin said, "She wants to stay there. I told her before that if she returns here, she is not allowed to stay in the manor with us." He looked at Yuan Xiurong. "Don't visit her, she needs time to reflect on her mistakes."

In the back hill of the stone mountain, lies a small old house. Yuan Chaomei stood alone, desperately repairing the house. After cleaning the house, she walked out the front door carrying a bucket of water and saw Fu Yuanjun standing on the other side of the door. Yuan Chaomei walked up to Fu Yuanjun and asked, "What business do leader Fu have with me?"

Fu Yuanjun said, "I heard that Gu Yingjie divorced you."

Yuan Chaomei said, "Yingjie have to divorce me because he committed treason, and he don't want to implicate me."

Fu Yuanjun said, ""Fortunately, he is considerate to you."

Yuan Chaomei said, "This is the last thing a husband can do for his wife."

Fu Yuanjun then asked, "When are you going to give birth to your child?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "How do you know?"

Fu Yuanjun, "From the martial artists who participated in the celebration banquet."

Yuan Chaomei, "Miscarriage." She looked at him. "If Chief Fu has nothing else, please excuse me." She carried the bucket and placed it next to the well.

Fu Yuanjun walked into the gate uninvited and stood in front of Yuan Chaomei. He looked at her and asked, "Miscarriage? How?"

Yuan Chaomei, "It was a miscarriage." She started walking towards the door of her small house.

Fu Yuanjun asked again, "Miscarriage or you was not pregnant in the first place?"

Yuan Chaomei sighed and turned around, "All you need to know is that I had a miscarriage." She walked into the house and closed the door behind her.

All the men in Yuan Chaomei's life lied to her, and the only person who kept his promised is Gu Yingjie. Her father asked her to marry Gu Yingjie so that she could help him get protection from the Gu family. Fu Yuanjun left her because he was afraid of hardship.

Fu Yuanjun walked to the open window and asked Yuan Chaomei, "You are not pregnant, are you? Have you sleep with Gu Yingjie?"

Yuan Chaomei stood up from the table and faced Fu Yuanjun. She said, "Leader Fu, please leave me alone. This land still belong to the Yuan."

Fu Yuanjun, "Chaomei, please answer me."

Yuan Chaomei then said, " Gu Yingjie and Zhu Mingyang are like Ma Jingguo and Mu Dishi. Do you think Gu Yingjie will sleep with me, if the person he wants beside him is Zhu Mingyang? Please leave me be and go away." She dropped down the window draped.

That night, Yuan Chaomei sat in her room and ate quietly. When she looked up, she saw Yuan Zixin walking towards her. She stood up and walked to the door to wait for Yuan Zixin.

Yuan Zixin looked at her and asked, "You have stayed in the Gu resident for two years, what have you found?"

Yan Chaomei, "Godfather, Gu Tingfuang's guards are well-trained. If godfather wants to capture the four houses, then Gu Tingfuang is the biggest obstacle for godfather."

Yuan Zixin smiled and said, "You are wrong. The biggest obstacle to my progress is not Gu Tingfuang, nor is it the six sectors and four clans."

Yan Chaomei, "Who would it be?"

Yuan Zixin said, "My biggest obstacle is Cao Fengge."

Yan Chaomei, "Cao Fengge? Why him?"

Yuan Zixin, "Chaomei, the most terrifying opponents are those low-key people."

Yuan Chaomei asked, "Godfather, do we really want to use Rao Zhengsheng and Dong Lanying against Cao Fengge?"

Yuan Zixin, ""Why not?" He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "The two families have old grudge. We will pass the news of Cao Fengge to Rao Zhengsheng, and he will kill him for us. We don't have to lift our hands, and our enemy will be wipeout for us by others."

Yuan Chaomei, "Is just that..."

Yuan Zixin, "What?"

Yuan Chaomei, "Xiurong, I can see that she likes Rao Zhengsheng very much."

Yuan Zixin, "I'm fine with this." He turned to Yuan Chaomei. "Chaomei, you may think it's unfair to you." He sighed. "Back when you liked Fu Yuanjun, I separated you, now I tell you, Xiurong likes whoever you like, do you hate me?"

Yuan Chaomei, "Godfather, Chaomei, don't hate you, you saved me." She knelt on the ground.

Yuan Zixin, "I'm sorry, that it end up this way." He helped her up. "You endure it for a while. After I destroy the seven sectors and the five clans, I will personally send you to Fu Yuanjun."

Yuan Chaomei, "Godfather, you don't have to do that. Between me and Fu Yuanjun, we weren't meant to be."

Yuan Zixin, "I still need to find out what happened to right-guard Zan. Many years ago, the heir of Sunset Sectors, Zan Huangming, killed the leaders of the seven sectors and five clans, but his body has not been found. I only heard that he was taken away when he gave his last order to kill everyone inside Shaolin temple that day. From there, his fate is uncertain."

Yuan Chaomei, "Is this the reason why Mu Dishi died?"

Yuan Zixin, "Chaomei, you don't know how terrible it is, because you haven't seen blood soaked to the ground. At that time, I saw the bodies of people I know everywhere. They call us demon clan because we didn't side with them, just because the way of martial arts training was different from them, they labeled us the demon clan. Yuan Zixin rose in anger and began to cough.

Yuan Chaomei, "Godfather, don't think too much. Please take care of yourself."

Yuan Zixin looked at Yuan Chaomei. He gritted his teeth with anger, and said, "That time, I stood behind my father, staring into the eyes of the so-called righteous martial artists. I remembered their faces and their names very clear. Bai Tao leader of Kongdon, Lin Gengxi leader of Tianshan, Xie Zhangke leader of Huangshan, Bu Chushen leader of Mangsha, Dai Liting leader of Kunlun, and Ning Weibang leader of Huashan, I hate them, I hate them very much."

The screamed from the people dying and the sound of swords colliding sounds like a mixture of guzheng music and drum beating in Yuan Zixin's ear. When a sword swung at his neck, Yuan Dai intercepted the sword with his sword and grabbed Yuan Zixin. Yuan Dai kicked the martial artist, swung his sword around, and stabbed the martial artist in the abdomen.

Yuan Zixin cried, "Father...I'm scare."

Yuan Dai said, "Don't be afraid, father is right here beside you."

Immediately, Yuan Dai and Yuan Zixin looked up, and the six sector leaders were fighting against Yuan Yu. Yuan Dai knew that Yuan Yu was at disadvantage.

Lin Gengxi shouted, "There is the co-leader Yuan Dai."

Ning Weibang pointed his sword at Yuan Dai, "Kill him."

The six sector leaders rushed towards Yuan Dai and Yuan Zixin. Yuan Dai pushed Yuan Zixin behind him. Yuan Dai knew that he could not defeat the six sector leaders. He was ready to fight to the last breath with his son. When the six sector leaders approached, a powerful music sound wave sent the six sector leaders away. The six sector leaders fell to the ground and vomited blood. The six sector leaders quickly got up and saw a young man standing in front of them. The young man took out the black metal gloves from his inner robe and put the gloves on his hands. The young man went on to said, "Scram or die."
