Chapter 19 Wedding Gift

Ma Jingguo had Wen Huifang and Si Meifeng to take everyone back to Sunset Sector, while Ma Jingguo and Yuan Chaomei returned to Wu Village. When they approached Mu Dishi's house, they found spider webs everywhere. The house was abandoned to collect dust. Before Ma Jingguo entered the room, he saw his faded handwriting on the table.

Ma Jingguo sat down on the wooden bench. He chuckles, "As expected, xiao shushu has gone home."

Yuan Chaomei, "Should we go?"

Ma Jingguo said, "Chaomei, many years ago, he kicked me out of the house. Even if I stood in front of the ten thousand pounds stone door, he wouldn't open the door."

Yuan Chaomei, "Chief you could just simply open the door."

Ma Jingguo, "There is no point of me opening the door if he won't let me in, and it's useless if I open it. Xiao Shushu is very stubborn and has a thin face. It is difficult to express his feelings."

Yuan Chaomei asked, "What will chief do next?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I have never attended a wedding banquet before. I prepared a wedding gift for her." He smiled bitterly. "Let's go trash Dandan's wedding."

That night, in the small bedroom, Ma Jingguo was resting on the bed. He grabbed the blanket and hugged it tightly in his arms. He buried his head in the blanket and took a deep breath. He could still smell the fainting smell of Mu Dishi.

Ma Jingguo suddenly felt sad. There were tears in his eyes. He whispered, "Xiao shushu, if you can stay for another minute, I can explain everything clearly in one minute. If I can return to that day, as long as you show me your eyes, I won't let the sad tears hang from your chin." He cried like a child holding a blanket. "If time steals our youth, then you steal my heart. I want to tell you that this chest still longs for your warmth. "

Standing outside the door, Yuan Chaomei listened to Ma Jingguo's soft cry. It was the first time she heard him cry like this in the many years she was with Ma Jingguo. Since the day Fu Yuanjun broken her heart, she no longer believed in true love, but Gu Yingjie and Zhu Mingyang changed her mind. Although Ma Jingguo had kissed Li Howin from time to time, it was nothing more than a kiss. Ma Jingguo has always been surrounded by beautiful women and men, but he has never taken them to bed.

Yuan Chaomei sighed, "The more you love someone, the more you hurt yourself."

In the dead of night, the chief leader of Seventy-two Islands disembarked from the single boat. He saw his six leaders waiting for him. They walked into the large conference hall, and hundreds of members were waiting for them. The cheif leader of Seventy-two Islands walked directly to the leader's seat and sat down.

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "There is no doubt that leader Li and his brothers were killed by the martial artists of Central Plains. We will march into Central Plains to seek justice for the leader Li and his two brothers."

Yao Qianfan, the fourth leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Even if we have a lot of people, we should not underestimate the martial artists of Central Plains. They have a long history in the martial arts world, and we should not ignore their fighting skills."

Yen Tung the sixth leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Leader Yao, why do you look down on us?"

Yao Qianfan said, "Hey…I didn't underestimate us, I just said that we may have the number, but they have the skills. Who will volunteer to fight Kuo Jin Song?" He looked at everyone. "Or Monk Liang? Or the chiefs of the households and the leaders of the six sectors?" He looked at the people standing in the conference hall. "Are any of you willing to volunteer?"

Everyone remained silent.

Hu Hong third leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Leader Yao does have a point. We can't march into the Central Plains unprepared we will be defeat. We need a plan."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "I already have a plan."

Everyone in the conference hall looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands.

Wu Jinghua asked, "Chief, what are your suggestions?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "I'm going to chief Xin of Sunset Sector to get rid of our toughest opponents for us." He looked at his six leaders. "What do everyone think of Sword Village?"

Yao Qianfan said, "As far as I know, Yong Gui of Sword Village has great reputation in the martial arts world, and people in the lower and upper ranks respect him very much."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "What do you think would happen, if a close family member of the Yong got hurt or perhaps killed?"

Jiang Koshing said, "Back then, when Yong Hao was murdered, everyone show up in Sword Village to fight against the murderer."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands smiled, "This time is no exception." He smiled bitterly. "I believe it will be the wedding of Sword Village beloved gongzi. We haven't prepared a wedding gift for Yong gongzi yet."

Inside Sword Village red are everywhere. The guests have arrived, and the servants are busy directing the guests to where they are staying. When the guests started pouring in, everyone was sweating from exhaustion.

Yong Taihua and Yong Gui ran around to greet the guests and accept their gifts.

In a clothing store not far from Sword Village, Chen Dandan, Yong Caixia, Kuo Wenqian, and Liu Hung waited patiently for the owner to repair Chen Dandan's wedding dress.

Yong Caixia said, "Dandan, if you didn't run around with da ge, this matter would have been resolved a few days earlier."

Liu Hung said, "Yong guniang, you should change the way you addressing her."

Yong Caixia teased, "Saozi…"

Chen Dandan blushed and said, "You still have a whole day to call my name."

Yong Caixia, "Should I start earlier?"

Kuo Wenqian said, "Yes, early practice is a good thing, Dandan will get used to this term earlier too." She looked at Chen Dandan and corrected herself. "I mean Yong furen." She chuckled lightly.

Chen Dandan said, "You guy... don't tease me. I'm already very nervous."

Liu Hung said, "You weren't as nervous as Wenqian on the day of our wedding. Wenqian was so nervous that she vomited four times before entering the ceremony hall." He laughed. "At that time, everyone thought she was pregnant."

Kuo Wenqian said, "Thinking about it, I still want to laugh. I believe every newlywed couples has their own funny story." She looked at Chen Dandan. "The wedding should have been held in Jinfeng Sector, so you don't need to wait here for the seamstress to fix your wedding gown."

Yong Caixia, "It can't be helped, there is only this store nearby."

Liu Hung said, "Father, respected leader Yong. Dandan also agreed to hold the wedding here."

The shopkeeper said as he walked, "Chen guniang, would you like to try it before you leave to see if it fit to your liking?"

Chen Dandan said, "If the sleeves are fixed, then it should be good enough."

The shopkeeper said, "Let me wrapped it up for you." After a while, the shopkeeper came back with a box and handed it to Chen Dandan.

Chen Dandan, Kuo Wenqian, Liu Hung, and Yong Caixia thanked the shopkeeper and began to walk towards Sword Village.

Yong Caixia said, "Mu Village is ahead."

Kuo Wenqian pushed Yong Caixia away abruptly to avoid being cut by a flying dagger. Chen Dandan and Liu Hung stood behind Kuo Wenqian and Yong Caixia.

Wu Jinghua smiled and said, "Not bad for being named the beauty of Central Plains."

Kuo Wenqian asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Jinghua said, "Wu Jinghua."

Kuo Wenqian said, "What are you doing here? Should you be enjoying sunbathing in the south sea?"

Yen Tung walked from behind Wu Jinghua. He said, "She hates sunbathing because she is afraid that her skin will turn dark."

Kuo Wenqian turned around and said softly, "Lao gong leave now with Dandan."

Liu Hung said, "You two be careful."

Liu Hung grabbed Chen Dandan's hand and ran towards Sword Village. Seeing that Liu Hung and Chen Dandan ran away, Wu Jinghua sent two daggers directly at Liu Hung and Chen Dandan. Yong Caixia sent her scabbard knocking the two daggers away. Kuo Wenqian sprinted forward towards Yen Tung.

Yen Tung swung the three-section staff and blocked Guo Wenqian's sword. Guo Wenqian swung her sword at Yen Tung's head, but Yen Tung suddenly lower his body down and swung his three section staff at Kuo Wenqian's feet. Kuo Wenqian jumped up and swung her sword down, a powerful ray came directly down at Yen Tung, to avoid the attack, Yen Tung pushed his body away. Then Yen Tung saw Guo Wenqian's scabbard fly directly to his face. He had to block the scabbard with his forearm. The powerful scabbard made him stumbled few feet away from his current position.

Yen Tung looked at his bleeding forearm, "Not bad for being the daughter of Kuo shifu."

It is difficult for Yong Caixia to protect herself from Wu Jinghua. Wu Jinghua is more proficient than Yong Caixia. Wu Jinghua switching her daggers from left to right, making it more difficult for for Yong Caixia to block Wu Jinghua's attack. Yong Caixia swung her sword at Wu Jinghua's neck. Wu Jinghua flipped back and quickly released a dagger, which directly pierced Yong Caixia's right front shoulder. Wu Jinghua flew forward, and hit Yong Caixia's upper chest heavily. Yong Caixia flew forty yards away and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Kuo Wenqian flew back, swung her swords at Wu Jinghua, and started fighting with Wu Jinghua and Yen Tung. Wu Jinghua sent her dagger at Kuo Wenqian. While Kuo Wenqian was dodging Wu Jinghua's daggers, Yen Tung rushed forward, released his three sections rod, and hit Kuo Wenqian's left chest. Kuo Wenqian stumbled back into Yong Caixia.

Yong Caixia, "Wenqian jiejie."

Yen Tung said, "That is for the scratch on my forearm."

Kuo Wenqian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Yen Tung took his three-section staff and rushed forward. Immediately afterwards, he suddenly felt that this weapon was being taken from his hand by some kind of energy force. Yen Tung and Wu Jinghua turned around. They saw two men standing not far behind. The shorter younger man took the three-section staff from the taller man's right hand.

Yen Tung looked at the two mans and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

The shorter man swung a section of the three-sections staff in a circular motion with his right hand. He smiled at the taller man, and said, "Lok gege, I guess this is what they meant by failed to recognize Mount Tai when you are standing right in front of it." He smiled at the taller man. "Am I right?"
