Chapter 49 Love Legend

When Deming rushed out of the tavern, he happened to bump into Yang Bao and the Fang twins. Deming fell to the ground.

Yang Bao asked, "Student Dong, are you alright?"

Deming got up slowly. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. It's my fault."

Yang Bao asked, "What are you in a hurry for?"

With so many people walking around, Deming didn't know who-is-who, Deming was still in a daze. He said, "I'm looking for your senior brother."

Xiao Mei said from behind, "No need to rush to find him, he is right here."

Weici who stood next to Guozhao Zhiqiang complained, "Why are we here, anyway?'

Lim Junjie, "Because everyone else is there." He pointed to the tavern.

Fang Weisheng ran in quickly, and then the people in the tavern came out to greet the group.

Deming frantically stared at Guozhao Zhiqiang. All eyes were on Deming. Deming said loudly, "Guozhao Zhiqiang. I want you to know that I'm very angry with you now, because you made a decision without asking me if I agreed." He stared at Guozhao Zhiqiang. "If I had chopsticks in my hand, I'd try to poke you in the eye with it."

Lim Junjie walked up to Deming and said angrily, "What did he do to make you so angry?"

Yang Bao said, "Student Dong, please calm down. Let's chat slowly in the tavern."

Deming had many different feelings in his head. He felt that if he walked calmly into the tavern to speak, he might not have the same fiery courage in his heart to speak his mind. Deming recalled that when Guozhao Zhiqiang combed his hair at Sunrise Inn in Waterfall City, Guozhao Zhiqiang was very happy at that moment, and he was also very happy. On that night in the training ground, Deming conceded defeat in that training ground that night. Guozhao Zhiqiang defeated him with love, and at this time, Guozhao Zhiqiang defeated him with love for the second time. If they've been linked from the start to be with each other, then let it be it. If Yue Lao gave him a second chance to fall in love, he would definitely cherish it. He promised himself that Guozhao Zhiqiang will be his and only his. Like Master Fang, he would stand in front of the people in the city and confess to Guozhao Zhiqiang.

Deming roared, "Everyone says you never lie. You say that no matter how I look, you'll really love me?" Everyone gasped. "I want everyone to hears your answer." He looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang in the eyes. "Zhiqiang, I want you to know that I have never blamed you for my death."

Guozhao Zhiqiang sighed and said, "I told you to live happily."

Deming shouted angrily, "Your cold shoulder chasing me away, won't work anymore. Everyone stops and listen." Some people on the street stopped to look at the group of people. "I, Deming, will live in the city in the cloud with Guozhao Zhiqiang as we've promised." He walked closer to Guozhao Zhiqiang. "I, Deming, from now on, stand beside Guozhao Zhiqiang and be his shadow until my hair is white and my face is wrinkled. Even if I die, I will wait for you by the river of hatred and will not get on the ferry until you come. Now to answer my question, do you really mean it when you say, 'no matter how I look, you will still love me'?"

The brothers muttering around, "Brother Deming?"

Tian Xiang, "How is it possible?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "I meant what I said."

Deming pulled down Guozhao Zhiqiang's robe and kissed him on the lips.

Fu Yongrui murmured, "It turns out that the love legend that Teacher Li told us is true. At this time of year, people do find love."

Deming pulled away and said, "I might not have red hair, my skin isn't that white, I'm not that tall, and I'm many years younger than you, but you haven't gotten older since the last time we met. It doesn't matter." He sighed. "What really matters...I want to be the one who makes you smile, the same way you put a smile on my face. If you push me away, that smile will disappear from my face."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "As a hunter, we will encounter many difficulties."

Deming said, "As long as I face those difficulties with you, I'm not afraid."

Guozhao Zhiqiang scoffed happily.

Zheng Yaozu shouted out, "Senior brother laughed."

Everyone shouted and screamed happily, "Senior brother laughed."

Guozhao Zhiqiang embraced Deming in his arms, and the fireworks were sprinkled in the clear night sky. Then the hunters and friends stood and watched until the last of the fireworks spread across the night sky.

Xiao Mei said, "Let's go inside for dinner now, shall we?"

The hunters walked inside the tavern, leaving only Guozhao Zhiqiang, Deming, and Weici behind.

Weici held Deming right hand, "Brother Deming."

Deming smiled, "Weici." He hugged her.

Weici asked, "You like him?"

Deming smiled and nodded.

Weici, "How long?"

Deming answered, "Thirteen years."

Weici, "Thirteen years?"

Deming said, "Since I was sixteen."

Weici cried then smiled and said, "Okay, I'm hungry." She walked into the tavern.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming and asked, "Why did you suddenly confess?"

Deming teased, "I decided to take you away from Hu Dingxiang, to accommodate for all those years he imprisoned me." He took three steps forward and turned back. "Even though we reconciled, I'm still mad at you because you drove me away."

The two entered the tavern, and the whole group stared at them.

Deming felt uncomfortable and said, "Can everyone stop staring at me?"

Tian Xian, "How is that possible?"

Tam Liang, "Senior brother even summoned your soul."

Deming said, "I don't know. When I woke up, I was in Guzheng Sector."

Cao Yifei said, "Student Dong, you are amazing... Confessed your love to brother Guozhao in front of everyone like Master Fang."

Fang Weimin looked at Cao Yifei, "What are you talking about?"

Cao Yifei said, "Teacher Li told us the love story between Master Fang and Teacher Lee. How Master Fang suddenly stood on the rooftop and confessed his love to Teacher Lee in front of the people of Peace Town."

Fang Weisheng, "Our father would not confess to Uncle Lee in front of so many people. He is a decent gentleman who will not embarrasses Uncle Lee like that since Uncle Lee get embarrassed easily."

Cao Yifei, "But Teacher Li stated that Master Fang was standing on the roof and shouted to confess to Teacher Lee."

Fang Weimin said, "At that time there were only our father, uncle Lee, our two masters, our shimu, the two Huang aunts, and Uncle Guo."

Deming looked at fang Weimin shyly, "Really? He didn't announce it before the people of Peace Town?"

Fang Weisheng, "No." He shook his head.

Fang Weimin smiled and said, "But you are bolder than our father. I think by tomorrow, everyone will know about the two of you."

Deming was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his face in the ground. He was speechless. He said quietly, "I don't have the face to face anyone anymore."

Li Bingqing looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang, she asked, "Is your name Zhiqiang?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang nodded.

Yu Lei, "Why you ask? You didn't know?"

Li Bingqing said, "No, when Enlai…Deming was still in a coma he murmured the name Zhiqiang, and sometimes he even calls for Zhiqiang to help him. When he first woke up, he rushed out of the door and calling for Zhiqiang to help him."

Yang Bao looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang and said, "Leave those pains to yesterday." He looked at Deming. "Brother Deming, we welcome you to the city in the cloud."

The Guozhao Hunters raised their wine cup, "We welcome you."

Tam Liang asked, "Well, since brother Deming wants to stay with senior brother, shouldn't we call him senior sister-in-law?"

Everyone laughed when Deming blushed violently.
