Chapter 20 Lose Control

When Guozhao Zhiqiang woke up early in the morning, Guozhao Zhiqiang slowly opened his eyes. He saw Deming combing his hair on the table. He walked slowly behind Deming, grabbed the comb from Deming's hand, and combed Deming's hair for him. He started to smile while combing Deming's hair.

Deming asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "I have always been wondering why my first and third masters always smiled when they combed my shimu and Teacher Lee's hair. Now I know why."

Deming, "Why don't you ask them?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "I already know why." He tied Deming's hair. "Would you like to go to Cloud City with me?"

Deming turned around as Guozhao Zhiqiang knelt in front of him. He asked sadly, "Why are you so good to me? What do you want in return?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang hugged Deming's waist, "I treat you well because I like you. What I want in return is your companionship."

Deming was puzzled so he asked, "What is companionship?

Guozhao Zhiqiang put his face on Deming's lap, "A person who believes in me when others doubt me. A person who will accompany me and share my hardships and happiness with me. A person who supports me when I am down. A person who will love and care for me from the bottom of his heart."

Deming looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "You want me to be that person?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang raised his head, "Yes." He slowly got up and gently kissed Deming's lips.

Deming said coldly, "I can't replace Hu Dingxiang." He pushed Guozhao Zhiqiang away.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked deeply into Deming's eyes and said, "I'm glad you are not him. I fell in love with the person who spent two nights and a day with me nine years ago. I fell in love with the person I promised to take him back to Cloud City with me." He lifted Deming's chin with his fingers and smiled at Deming. "Is that person Hu Dingxiang? I know why you hate me, and I understand the reason."

Deming pushed Guozhao Zhiqiang hand away, "let go." He stood up and walked frantically towards the door. "I'm hungry." He walked out of the room.

Deming walked out of the room and saw Lim Junjie staring at him. Lim Junjie shouted, "Hey, Hu Dingxiang. Why are you here and not with your Sector?"

Deming said angrily, "I'm not him."

Lim Junjie, " You look so much like him."

Deming, "I do not."

Yu Lei said from behind Lim Junjie, "Childe Lim, I'm very curious, why do you always follow our senior brother?"

Lim Junjie, "None of you will understand. We have a special bond."

Yu Lei, "Last I checked. Our senior brother has special feelings for all juniors."

Lim Junjie, "Yu Lei, I don't fall for that." He smirked at Yu Lei.

Xiao Mei came from behind, "Stop, let's go to eat, we will leave within an hour."

When the group of hunters was about to leave, Guozhao Zhiqiang walked out of Yang Bao's room. Lim Junjie's eyes lit up and frowned, "Oh...you and Hu Dingxiang slept across from your room. You abandoned me all alone in your room by myself. How heartless?" He snarled at Deming.

The junior hunters looked awkwardly at each other and giggled.

Tam Kun whispered to Tam Liang, "Is a love triangle."

Tam Liang giggled quietly, "Yeah, senior brother, has two wives, fighting for his affection."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked coldly at his juniors, and they immediately stop giggling. He turned to Deming and said, "You said you were hungry?"

Yang Bao, "Childe Lim, we are all angry with empty stomachs? Maybe it will be better if we are full, eh..."

Lim Junjie, "Hu Dingxiang...I won't lose to you."

As soon as the group arrived at the dining hall, Weici waved to Deming. She exclaimed happily, "Brother Deming, here."

Six men and four women, dressed in black and purple, came in from the main entrance and went straight to Deming.

Zhou Caihong rushed over and grabbed Deming's arm, but Deming pulled his arm away. Deming approached Weici.

Yi Guozhi walked up to Deming angrily, pointed at Deming and shouted, "Hu Dingxiang, what is the meaning of this?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said coldly, "Leave him alone."

Yi Guozhi, "Zhiqiang, don't think you have the title of black hunter, I am afraid of you. This is a matter between the Hu family and the Zhou family, and you hunters have nothing to do with this, so stay away."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said coldly, "I won't repeat myself."

Lim Junjie, "My friend, you came to the wrong place. Your two sectors are at my grandfather's residence, not here. Don't you dare talk to my Zhiqiang like that? Remember you are in Waterfall City."

Yi Guozhi said mockingly, "Lim Junjie, you half breed. You still have guts to show your face around."

Everyone in the hunting world knows that Young Master Yi of Golden Gate Sector Yi Guozhi has a dirty mouth. His mouth has caused him many troubles, but the most ridiculous and gossip one was the incident with the Guozhao Hunters in Waterfall City many years ago.

Yu Lei glared at Yi Guozhi and said, "Yi Guozhi, do you dare to insult Junjie? If I were you, I would not offend Lim Junjie, grandson of Wolf Clan, nephew of the great general Lim Peizhi, grandson of Waterfall City Mayor, nephew of the Guzheng Sector, and…a brother of us…insulting him is like insulting all of us..."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Enough. We have other thing to do." He turned to Zhou Caihong and Yi Guozhi, "This is Deming. Hu Dingxiang is upstairs in one of the guest rooms."

Hu Dingxiang shouted from the top of the stair, "Caihong." He came down quickly and took Zhou Caihong's hand.

Zhou Caihong, "Are you okay?"

Hu Dingxiang, "Yes, fortunately, the Guozhao hunters saved us."

Zhou Caihong nodded at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Thank you."

Hu Dingxiang smiled at Zhou Caihong and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Yi Guozhi said, "Cousin sister was worried about you."

Hu Dingxiang, "Let's eat first."

A chain flew straight to Deming from the crack in the door. Guozhao Zhiqiang moved quickly and grabbed the chain wrapped around his right hand. Guozhao Zhiqiang pulled the chain, stepping backward, and a man in black flew into the inn with chains and shackles.

As soon as Deming saw the chains and shackles, he couldn't move in place. He felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He was sweating and painted in fear.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at the black-clothed man coldly and said angrily, "Who are you?"

Man, "Hunter, don't stand in my way. Unless you will regret it."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said bitterly, "He is mine, you must pass me if you want him."

The man smiled slyly, "No, he will always be mine. Deming...obediently, follow me back to the dungeon."

Lim Junjie stood beside Guozhao Zhiqiang and said, "To pass him, you must pass all of us."

Yu Lei smirked and said, "I'd rather watch you run away from us than try fighting us."

Deming begged, "I didn't see your face. I didn't see your face. Please let me go. Please let me go." He knelt on the ground and begged, tears falling from his eyes. He began to collapse and sat down like a fetus, burying his head on his knees. "You promised to take me away. Come and take me away. I want to follow you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming who fell on the ground. He hated himself for leaving Deming alone in the dark for nine years. His body is full of anger. He himself is a boy locked in chains. When he is alone, there is no light or hope on the other side of the tunnel. He knows exactly what it feels like. He is Deming's little light and hope, so this is why Deming hates him so much.

Guozhao Zhiqiang's eyes were red, and his anger boiled all over his body. He roared, "Ah..." The chain in his hand began to turn red, and the heat of the fiery chain quickly moved in the direction of the man.

The man quickly let go of the hot chain. Guozhao Zhiqiang clutched the iron chain and frantically attacked the man holding the hot chain. The man jumped from one table to another. Guozhao Zhiqiang aimed at the man. Every time he escaped from Guozhao Zhiqiang's blows, Guozhao Zhiqiang destroyed a table.

Yang Bao rushed in from behind and shouted, "Senior brother, stop, you are going to hurts innocent bystanders."

The man jumped back to the injured Hu Dingxiang and grabbed his neck.

The man demanded, "Stand back, or I will kill him."

Even though Hu Dingxiang was taken hostage, Guozhao Zhiqiang still aimed at the man.

Zhou Caihong shouted, "Are you crazy?" She drew out her sword and attacked Guozhao Zhiqiang. The three disciples of Snow Sector and the disciples of Golden Gate Sector also began to attack Guozhao Zhiqiang.

The man dragged Hu Dingxiang to the door, and then pushed Hu Dingxiang back to the inn. The man rushed into the crowded street and disappeared. Zhou Caihong went to help Hu Dingxiang get up. Guozhao Zhiqiang was still attacking the disciples of Snow Sector, and the disciples of Golden Gate Sector were also badly injured.

Yang Bao, "Xiao Mei help me calm him down. Ah Lei... Junjie helped me grab senior brother's hands."

The three hurried forward to stop Guozhao Zhiqiang. Lim Junjie and Yu Lei held Guozhao Zhiqiang's right hand, Yang Bao held onto Guozhao Zhiqiang's left hand. When Xiao Mei was about to insert a gold needle into Guozhao Zhiqiang's neck, he screamed and released his spiritual energy, and pushed the four people away by five feet. Guozhao Zhiqiang stared at Deming and walked towards Deming slowly. Xiao Mei quickly hit Guozhao Zhiqiang on the neck and Guozhao Zhiqiang fell to the ground. Lim Junjie quickly stepped forward to support Guozhao Zhiqiang before Guozhao Zhiqiang fell to the ground.

Yi Guozhi sneered, "Guozhao Hunters, you have some explaining to do."

Lee Nianzu, "You see, Childe Yi, it's not all senior brother's fault. The man in black is the reason why our senior brother is out of control."

Yi Guozhi said indifferently, "This is an unforgivable behavior. We will wait for a reply at the mayor's residence." He helped Hu Dingxiang get up. "We are leaving now."

Lee Nianzu said politely, "Childe Yi, have a good day." He watched the people of Snow Sector and Golden Gate Sector leave the inn quickly.

Weici held Deming in her arms, "Brother Deming. It's okay now. The bad guy is gone."

Deming sobbed and said, "I'm afraid. I don't want to go back to the dark dungeon."

Weici sadly said, "I assure you, as long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone put you in that dark dungeon again."

Tam Liang walked into the room with a look of confusion, "What's the matter?"

Yang Bao looked at Tam Liang and Yu Lei, "You two help senior brother back to his room." He walked to Deming and took Deming's hand. "Brother Deming, as long as you are with us. We will not let anyone take you anywhere."

Xiao Mei stuck a golden needle behind Deming's neck, and Deming passed out.

Weici looked at Xiao Mei angrily and asked, "What did you do?"

Xiao Mei said, "He is stressed and irritated, so let him take a good rest."

Tam Liang, "I haven't seen senior brother out of control."

Lee Nianzu said, "The man in black must be the enemy of senior brother." He looked at Yang Bao, "Second senior brother, I'm going to the mayor's resident."

Xiao Mei looked at Lee Nianzu and said, "I will accompany you."

Lim Junjie stood up and said, "Me too."

Yang Bao looked at Lee Nianzu and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Lim is a fair person."
