Disappointment

Zhao Renshu stopped the attack, and the three masters were furious at Guozhao Zhiqing's action.

Zhao Renshu was particularly angry because of Guozhao Zhiqiang's actions, "I'm going to kill you."

Guo Baiyu, "Renshu, calm down." He walked forward. "Zhiqiang explain."

Guozhao Zhiqiang hesitated, "I know them." He didn't dare to look at his maters disappointed faces.

Yang Bao, "Senior Brother." He looked at his Second Master and Third Master who was beyond angry. "Masters, please let senior brother explain."

Fang Yaoting said madly, "You better have a good explanation."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "I met them when I came back from Waterfall City."

Huang Hongse, "Why do the three sectors protecting these bastards?"

Hu Dingxiang, "Seniors, I am Hu Dingxiang from Snow Sector. Sector Leader Wong asked us to come help cleanse this village with these men."

Zhao Renshu said indifferently, "Do you not investigate before coming to purify? Pathetic Sectors."

Yi Guozhi pointed at Zhao Renshu with a sword, "How dare you insulted ours Sector?"

Yang Bao limped forward and said, "How dare you draw your sword at my master?"

Yi Guozhi mocked, "Your master must be very pathetic to have a disable handicap limping disciple." He burst out laughing and many people also laughed with him.

Guozhao Zhiqiang was about to attack Yi Guozhi, but Fang Yaoting looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang with angry eyes and shook his head.

Fang Yaoting, "Very well, Ah Bao." He looked at Yang Bao. "Show him how pathetic you are."

Yi Gouzhi, "I'll teach you a lesson." He pointed at Yang Bao with a sword and began to attack Yang Bao.

Yang Bao's swordsmanship was fast and he easily blocked Yi Guozhi's blows.

Some of the female students shouted, "Brother Yang, be careful."

Tam Liang was shocked and couldn't believe it, "He was limping, but when he fight, his left leg didn't affect his combat effectiveness at all."

Tam Kun, "Fortunately, you didn't hurt his Shimu."

Tam Liang elbowed Tam Kun left arm.

Yi Guozhi swung his sword at Yang Bao. Yang Bao did a forward somersault over Yi Guozhi's head. As soon as Yi Guozhi turned around, Yang Bao kicked Yi Guozhi's left face and the kick threw Yi Guozhi directly to the ground. Yang Bao pointed his sword to Yi Guozhi's throat.

The students cheered.

Yang Bao uttered softly, "You lost." He sheathed his sword back to the scabbard on his back and limped back stood behind his Masters.

Zhao Renshu smiled and said, "You said a moment ago 'your master must be pathetic to have a disable disciple'. I totally agree." He laughed out loud and so was some of the students.

Yi Guozhi slowly got up, "How dare you? You'd better explain it to Six Sectors."

Guo Baiyu, "Go back and tell your leader that the Guozhao Hunters wants an explanation, why their sectors will take a job without investigating first."

The young hunters chattered among each others, "The Guozhao Hunters."

Hu Dingxiang grabbed Guozhao Zhiqiang's left hand. This action made Guozhao Zhiqiang turned around and face him.

Hu Dingxiang asked, "Are you a Guozhao Hunter?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang stared at him without saying a word. He nodded softly.

Hu Dingxiang, "You didn't tell me."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "No need." He withdrew his hand with a hurtful heart. "If you still want to live in a city above the clouds? You go with me."

Hu Dingxiang looked puzzled, "Living in the city above the cloud? I do not understand."

Guozhao Zhiqiang smiled disappointedly, "Forget it. It seem that I'm the only one who remember the promised."

Hu Dingxiang, "I..."

Ping'an, "Zhiqang."

Huang Yueliang, "Help me cleanse this place."

Huang Hongse, "You guy still standing there? Come stand behind us, if you don't want to be possessed by spirit."

The young hunters of the three clans walked towards the school and stood with the students. Huang Hongse threw out her flag into the air and the one flag multiplied into twenty small flags surrounded the group of people. Guo Baiyu, Zhao Renshu, Guozhao Zhigiang, and Yang Bao stood around Huang Yueliang.

Tam Liang, "What are they doing?"

Huang Hongse, "They are purifying the spirits' soul, by asking them to move on and forgive those who hurt them."

Huang Yueliang took out her guzheng. She sat cross-legged on the pavement and began to play a sweet and soft sad melody. Her gentle guzheng music was soft and sad, which touched the hearts of students and young hunters. Some students and hunters cried.

Tam Liang, "Ah Qiu, what's the matter?"

Tam Qiu held onto Tam Liang sleeves and said, "Ah Liang, the melody is so sad, I think it touches the depths of my heart."

Yang Bao handed Tam Qiu a handkerchief with flowers embroidery on the bottom. She took it and wiped her tears, only to realize that this handkerchief must have been given to him by his girlfriend. She quickly handed it back to Yang Bao.

Tam Qiu, "You can take this back. I don't want to caused any misunderstanding between you and the person who gave you this."

Yang Bao, "Why would my Shimu misunderstand?"

Tam Qiu, "Your Shimu?"

Yang Bao, "Yes. My Shimu made it for us."

Tam Qiu, "I thought it was yours..."

Yang Bao, "What?"

Tam Qiu snatched it back, wiped her tears. She said, "After I washed it. I will give it back to you."

Spirits began to appear everywhere, and the students began to cry.

Huang Hongse warned everyone, "Don't cross the flag."

The students cried and hugged each other inside the flag, and the spirits of two hundred men, women, and children hovered and danced around the five people outside the flag. The souls disappeared one by one, but the last thirty spirits still hovered and floated in front of Guo Baiyu. They refused to move on. Twenty-four students are calling their parents loudly. After a while, Guo Baiyu nodded, the spirits bowed, and as Huang Yueliang ended her music, they disappeared. Huang Hongse called her flag back into her hand and tucked the flag back on her belt.

Zhao Renshu looked at the young hunters and said, "To mend for all your mistakes. Everyone helped pile the corpses into a pile, and we will burn them."

The students and young hunters piled two hundred corpses into a big pile. Zhao Renshu conjured a fire talisman and burned the body.

Yang Bao watched the corpse burned into the the late even. Even after the sun sets and the night begins, the piles of corpses are still burning.

Guo Baiyu patted Yang Bao's left shoulder lightly, "As a hunter, you will see much worse things than this."

Yang Bao sighed, "I know. I'm not used to it yet." He looked at Guo Baiyu. "Master, are the corpses hunted."

Guo Baiyu said, "A inanimate body without soul, is just a corpse and nothing more."

The next morning, the students gathered in front of the school.

Guo Baiyu said, "Your parents asked me to take you back to Cloud City and become my disciples. I have to promise them, so they could move on. If any of you doesn't want to follow me, you don't have to leave with us."

Tam Liang, "My sister and I will go with you."

The other students babbled, "If brother Liang go, then we will go too."

Lim Peizhi smiled at the young students, "You should all feel that you are very lucky. Such opportunities are rare."

Tam Liang, "How?"

Huang Yueliang smiled and said, "Not a lot of people will be as lucky as you guy, who will become a Guozhao Hunter."

The twenty-four students were taken aback for a moment, and they all said, "Guozhao Hunters?"

Guo Baiyu, "Pack your things and leave this village within an hour."

The students try their best to carry their belongings into the two carriages. The young hunter said goodbye. Guozhao Zhiqiang stood there, watching Hu Dingxiang and other disciples walked away in the opposite direction.

Ping'an said, "He is a very handsome young man."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Shimu."

Ping'an, "There will be opportunity you will meet him again. Let's go home." She looked at the twenty-four young students. "You have responsibilities now."

The group of friends and the disciples walked alongside the horse's carriage and began to walk out of Tam Village. When the group reached the top of the mountain, the twenty-four students glanced at Tam Village one last time, and then headed towards Cloud City.
