Chapter 25 Home

At around mid-afternoon, all the wooden cages were erected outside the open field in Mangsha Sector. Looking at the gold and silver he got from Mangsha Sector, it reminded Ma Jingguo of when he first walked into the treasure cave in his home with Mu Dishi in Tong Village. He looked at the main entrance and saw Yuan Chaomei walking in with Li Howin and Mu Huidai.

Yuan Chaomei asked, "Chief, these people…"

Ma Jingguo said, "I put them in a cage as punishment for killing our people. I am waiting for them to tell me who killed Wen qianbei." He saw a golden hairpin. He grabbed it. He looked at Li Howin. "Come here."

Li Howin walked to Ma Jingguo. He asked, "Does the chief have any needs?"

Ma Jingguo handed the golden hairpin to Li Howin, "Take it. It should look every good on your hair."

Li Howin took the golden hairpin from Ma Jingguo. He said shyly, "Thank you, chief."

Later that night, Ma Jingguo found a quiet and secluded place in Mangsha Sector. He looked at the frightened maid and asked, "What is this place?"

The young maid said, "I'm not sure. Since I worked here, no one was allowed to enter this area. I heard that it belong to the grandmaster of Mangsha. He lived here with his lover until they passed."

Ma Jingguo asked, "Why doesn't he live in the main sector with everyone else?"

The young maid blushed and said, "It's because his lover is a man from an evil clan, he refused to let anyone harm his lover. So he chained his lover foot to his foot and willingly to go through all the harsh punishments with his lover."

Yuan Chaomei walked from behind and said, "Gather some more maids and have this place cleanup for chief Xin."

The maid frighteningly said, "Yes, guniang." She quickly walked away.

Ma Jingguo sighed, "Chaomei, you scared her away."

Yuan Chaomei said, "If we stay here, you want to stay here, right?"

Ma Jingguo chuckled, "Yuan jiejie, do you have telepathy power?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "I know, this kind of foothold is very similar to your home in Tianshan." She looked at Ma Jingguo. "Do you want to make amends with Mu gongzi?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I don't know how or where to begin."

Yuan Chaomei said, "The longer you wait, the deeper the scar, and the farther the distance between you and Mu gongzi will be."

Ma Jingguo said, "I know." He sighed. "I was thinking once I made Sunset Sector known in the martial artist as shifu wanted. I would give the leadership seat to Wen qianbei and crawl my way back to xiao shushu, but right now. Everything is different from my original plan." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "Yuan jiejie, if one day, I must kill Fu Yuanjun what would you do?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "My relationship with Fu Yuanjun is nothing more than a broken rope. No matter how many knots tied binding the rope together, it will never be a smooth rope. Therefore, if that time comes, you do what you need to do."

Ma Jingguo said, "To be honest...I don't plan to be the leader of Sunset Sector forever."

Yuan Chaomei, "Why not?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I decided to be the chief because shifu kind of forced my hands. I was thinking once I rescued him, I can return the title of the leader to him. In the end, he died, so I was going to give it to Wen qianbei, but someone killed her." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "Yuan jiejie, do you want to be the chief of Sunset Sector?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "I never dreamed of it."

Ma Jingguo said, "The Devil Fist is based on hatred. It is a very physical fighting technique. It is not suitable for you. If you learned it wrong, you will end up being forgetful. Killer strings, you must have strong internal skills and well trained from childhood to adulthood, only xiao shushu and shifu are capable of this technique. He paused for a while. "How about red thread needle?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "Red thread needles? How?"

Ma Jingguo said, "The Red Thread Needle is a very elegant fighting technique, very suitable for women. Wen qianbei said it herself."

Yuan Chaomei, "Do you know the Red Thread Needle Manual?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I do. Wen qianbei taught me. Yuan jiejie, called leader Si, leader Tong, and the Yao brothers to meet me here tonight."

Yuan Chaomei asked, "What's wrong?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I suddenly thought of something."

Yuan Chaomei asked, "What?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I'm afraid that after I leave Sunset Sector, other sectors will disturb you, so I decided to recreate the five guards of Sunset Sector."

Yuan Chaomei, "You really have no plans to stay, do you?"

Ma Jingguo said, "I want to stay because I thought xiao shushu was dead, but he is still alive..." He smiled. "I want to spend the rest of my life with him. One flute and one guzheng, playing melodies wherever we are, and live a carefree life as our hearts desires."

Yuan Chaomei, "Chief, I have been traveling all my life and have never had a real home, so for me, what I want most is a place that can be called home."

Ma Jingguo said, "I used to have a home, but because of my big mouth and young age, xiao shushu drove me out of the house." He sighed sadly. "It's been more than ten years, and I haven't had a chance to go home." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "Yuan Jiejie, when everything settles down, I will go home, back to the place and the arms where I belong to. I still dreams for the day when I stand inside my home, where there will always be enough warmth waiting for me. Do you know, even after so many years, I have never forgotten the way home?"

Yuan Chaomei, "If I have a place to call home, I won't forget the way back either."

Ma Jingguo chuckled, "But to be honest, wherever xiao shushu choose to be, that is the place I call home because for me, my home is the warm embrace of xiao shushu's chest."

Yuan Chaomei, "So does it mean, if Mu gongzi decided to live here, chief will stay here and continue to be our chief?"

Ma Jingguo said, "You can say that, but with xiao shushu's attitude, he will never agree. Moreover, if he doesn't like it, no one can force him." He smiled, feeling butterflies on his chest. "My xiao shushuis a very stubborn, sometimes even unreasonable person." He chuckled. "But I love him very much... Sometimes I am afraid that if I love him too much, he may feel uncomfortable and leave me... But I still can't control my feelings for him."

A sector member walked in. He said, "Chief, I'm here to report. Leader Yuan had sent a message."

Yuan Chaomei grabbed the letter from the sector member. She looked at the young member and said, "You may go." Yuan Chaomei opened the letter and began to read. "Dear chief, the sectors and clans gathered together to plan a plan to overthrow Sunset Sector. When they finalize the action plan, I will notify chief again. Also, Fu Yuanjun and Gu Jingjing will get married in fifteen days."

Ma Jingguo looked at Yuan Chaomei, "We've spoken too soon about Fu Yuanjun, it seems that he is going to get marry. Yuan jiejie, do you want to go to Tianshan with me?"

Yuan Chaomei asked, "Do chief want me to go with chief?"

Ma Jingguo said, "It depends on you. I will let you decide on that." He sighed. "Have everyone get ready. I will go send Fu Yuanjun a gift he will never forget this lifetime." He smiled bitterly.
