Chapter 40 Old Flame

Mu Dishi looked down at the ground and walked away slowly. He didn't want to look up, because he could no longer hide the tears in his eyes. He remembered the moment he stood by the stream in Mu Village. Yan Zhanjin and Monk Ling came over to talk to him.

Monk Ling, "Benefactor Mu."

Mu Dishi, "What are you two doing here?"

Monk Ling, "Benefactor Mu, this is in regard of Chief Xin."

Mu Dishi, "What about him?"

Monk Ling, "You know, Chief Xin practices the devil fist manual. He has reached the highest level of the devil fist manual, but he has not gone mad because of the inner strength of benefactor Zan hovering in his body. Since Sunset Sector is the fifth household of Central Plains, we should stop chief Xin by destroying the rest of the blocked meridians inside his body."

Mu Dishi asked indifferently, "Why should I help you destroy his blocked meridians?"

Monk Ling, "If it is not destroyed, within two years, benefactor Ma will lose his mind and cannot escape from qi deviation, because the two different energies flowing in his body will start to attack each other."

Yan Zhanjin, "Mu ge, you understand that Ma Jingguo will go crazy sooner or later if he practices devil fist manual."

Mu Dishi, "He promised that he would stop."

Yan Zhanjin, "You are also a martial artist yourself. You know what will happen when he loses control completely. He doesn't care who is who. He will kill anyone standing in front of him."

Mu Dishi looked at Yan Zhanjin, "You want me to destroy all his meridians and paralyze him?"

Yan Zhanjin, "That is the only way out."

Monk Ling, "Amitabha…Benefactor Mu, the choice to save many lives and benefactor Ma is in your hands. The right to choose is yours." Monk Ling walked away.

Yan Zhanjin took out a small bag and said, "Here, this is the antidote to the poison that Ma Jingguo given you. Kuo shifu has unlocked four of the eight blocked acupuncture points. If we destroy the other four, Ma Jingguo will lost all his internal energy, but his life will be saved." He quickly followed Monk Ling.

Mu Dishi sighed and continued to walk to his own home. Suddenly he stopped and stared at Wang Biming who was leaning on the tree with his eyes closed. Mu Dishi slowly passed by Wang Biming.

Wang Biming still closed his eyes and said, "Dishi, are you going to greet me?"

Mu Dishi did not speak, and continued to walk away from Wang Biming.

Wang Biming rushed over and blocked Mu Dishi. He said, "Dishi, I have been waiting for you for two days." He looked around. "Ma Jingguo finally released you."

Mu Dishi sighed, "Wang Biming, get out of my way. If you don't want to die, don't approach me anymore." He pushed Wang Biming away. "Get out of here."

As soon as Mu Dishi pushed Wang Biming away, Wang Biming noticed that Mu Dishi's internal energy had not fully recovered. He grabbed Mu Dishi by the left collar and pulled Mu Dishi closer to him. Wang Biming said, "Your poison has not been completely remove yet?" He lowered his head. "Let me suck it out for you."

Mu Dishi said, "Let go." He pushed Wang Biming away.

Standing from behind Mu Dishi and Wang Biming, Ma Jingguo stared at the two pushing and pulling for a while. Ma Jingguo said angrily, "You two love each other so much, why don't you get married earlier. This can save a lot of people's confusion." Ma Jingguo applauded and laughed at them.

Mu Dishi, "Jingguo…"

Ma Jingguo looked coldly at Mu Dishi, "Xiao shushu, was it so hard to just tell me you still love Wang Biming." He smiled viciously at Mu Dishi and Wang Biming. "I think you two are the best example of the old saying, 'The longer the fermentation of the wine, the better the taste'."

Wang Biming pulled Mu Dishi into his arms and said, "If that is the case, would chief Xin be kindly to step away and leave Dishi alone?"

Ma Jingguo smiled, "Alright, I will let him go with you. Even so, I am willing to hold a wedding for the two of you, so the two of you can live and die together." He began to laugh loudly.

Mu Dishi toning down his voice and he said expressionless, "If you don't want to die, you must leave now."

Wang Biming refused, "I will leave with you."

Mu Dishi said firmly, "Wang Biming, I hate you, and I will hate you forever. If there is a chance, I will definitely kill you."

Wang Biming lowered his head and whispered into Mu Dishi's ear, "Follow me, I will tell you who killed Chen Dandan and clear Ma Jingguo's name."

Mu Dishi turned around quickly, not realizing how close Wang Biming was to him, and his lips touched Wang Biming's. Wang Biming took the opportunity to forcefully kiss Mu Dishi in front of Ma Jingguo.

Ma Jingguo dashed forward towards Wang Biming in a rage. Wang Biming pushed Mu Dishi away and began to attack Ma Jingguo. Wang Biming threw a fist at Ma Jingguo, Ma Jingguo easily blocked Wang Biming's punched. Ma Jingguo quickly moved himself and grabbed Wang Biming's left arm. Ma Jingguo concentrated his internal strength on his right fist, and with a heavy blow, he wanted to break Wang Biming's left arm and break his bones into pieces. A golden needle flew directly to his fist, and he quickly retracted his hand, but the golden needle scratched on the top of his right hand.

In anger, Ma Jingguo slammed Wang Biming's back with a punch. The powerful fist made Wang Biming staggered to the ground in front of Mu Dishi. Ma Jingguo quickly flew forward unsheathing Honglei. Ma Jingguo stepped on the injured Wang Biming's left back with his right foot, and Honglei swung at Mu Dishi's throat.

Wang Biming screamed, "Ma Jingguo, don't!"

Honglei was only an inch from Mu Dishi's throat. Ma Jingguo's eyes were red and he glared at Mu Dishi angrily, "Why?" His lips trembled with anger. "Why?" He shouted fiercely at Mu Dishi.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Dishi suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. Mu Dishi slowly fell aside, Ma Jingguo kicked Wang Biming very hard on Wang Biming's abdomen fiercely, throwing him twenty yards away. Ma Jingguo sheathed Honglei. He held Mu Dishi preventing Mu Dishi from falling to the ground.

Mu Dishi reached out and wiped Ma Jingguo's bleeding hand with his sleeve. He looked at Ma Jingguo and muttered, "Jingguo…I...I'm sorry." Mu Dishi fainted in Ma Jingguo's arms.

Ma Jingguo slowly wiped the blood from the corner of Mu Dishi's mouth. He kissed Mu Dishi's forehead and hugged Mu Dishi tightly in his arms.

Tong Keung walked from behind Ma Jingguo. He said, "Chief, we are ready to go up to our sector."

Ma Jingguo stared coldly at Wang Biming. He picked up Mu Dishi and said, "I hope you will enjoy your time in our sector prison cell."

In a large room, Ma Jingguo was sitting on the edge of the bed meditating. He heard Yuan Chaomei walk into the room. He heard her sitting down the bowl of medicine on the table, and just then, Ma Jingguo opened his eyes.

Yuan Chaomei picked up the bowl of medicine and walked to Ma Jingguo. She said, "Chief, he will be fine. He fainted because he used internal energy forcibly. "She looked at Ma Jingguo. "You do know that you still have the last four acupoints that need to be unblock."

Ma Jingguo, "I know." Then he looked at Yuan Chaomei. "Chaomei, what will happen to me if the acupoints are not released?"

Yuan Chaomei, "The inner energy you don't have remains unchanged. Within two years, when right guard Zan's internal energy and your internal energy start to attack each other, you will die." She sat across from Ma Jingguo. "That time because Kuo shifu didn't know that you transferred his blows to your benefit, but since they already knew about the issue, they would try to destroy the rest of your blocked accupoints. They might ask him…"

Ma Jingguo put the empty bowl down on the table, "Who?"

Yuan Chaomei, "I'm afraid of offending you."

Ma Jingguo said, "Speak."

Yuan Chaomei, "They might ask Mu gongzi to destroy the last four blocked accupoints. You are very close to Mu gongzi. With him by your side, you always relax your vigilance. It is not difficult for him to destroy your accupoints."

Ma Jingguo looked at Mu Dishi and said, "Xiao shushu, will never hurt me."

Yuan Chaomei sighed, "Chief, do you really believe it, or do you just say that to appease your injured heart?"
