Destiny Chief Assassins And Lord Of The Ghost Valley

The Story of Masalalu (Part II )

The next day, Zhishu regained his senses. He woke up from his sleep and heard Guzheng's soothing music. Zhishu stepped out and looked for the source of his voice, from behind his window, he saw the man playing Guzheng.

Tight fingers, long hair, a calm face, looks good in the eye. Moreover, the power within him could defeat the cursed tattoo that was on Zhishu's back.

" Heh, I've been here too long, I have to go home!! " murm Zhishu muttered alone and went out to meet the man.

The moment Qianfan realized Zhishu's presence, he immediately stopped playing his guzheng.

" Did my music wake you up? " ask Qianfan gently.

" No, I had to get up so I could go home.. It's too long, my brother will be worried" Zhishu replied.

" Then I'll take you" Qianfan said.

' Heh, it would be terrible if they knew I was staying at a man's residence!! ' Zhishu's inner murmur.

" No need to bother, I'll go home by myself, ah I don't know your name yet" Zhishu said with obvious nervousness.

" Shingming Qianfan." Qianfan replied.

" Good name, if you don't mind I'll come again to stop by.. Oh, ja.. Can you show me which way to Mount Luo? " ask Zhishu.

Qianfan pointed to a mountain that was on the other side, who would have thought that Mount Luo would be visible from here.

" Well, I'll go home, thanks for taking care of me" Zhishu concluded and left.

Qianfan just stared at her departure, he couldn't force to escort her nor could he quietly follow her. He could only pray for his safety from where he was.

" Mountain Luo? You live in the Hierilong Clan 'do you? Zhan clan.. Like no stranger. "murm Qianfan.

That night, Zhishu who had just arrived at Zhan's residence was sneaking in to enter without the knowledge of others. The house that looks so quiet is certainly too suspicious.

" Heh, where did everyone go? " said Zhishu wondering.

He took his steps vigilantly and hoped to make it to his room without being discovered. However, the moment she opened her bedroom window, Zhan Hua was already there with a sharp eye gaze. Zhishu only laughed insipidly when he found himself caught off guard, after which he tried to run away and ask for the protection of others.

" YHAN XISHI! DON'T TRY TO RUN AWAY AGAIN, BRAT!!! " zhan Hua shouted before finally jumping over the window and chasing after Zhishu.

" Oh, don't shout big brother!! " grunts Zhishu.

Zhishu ran around the house, Zhan Hua was still behind him even with his cheat he took a shortcut through the roof.

" Wait, that's cheating big brother!! No, AYAAAAHHHHH HELP ME!!! " cried Zhishu.

It was probably heard by Qibo who came out and showed himself in front of Zhishu.

" Ah, my savior.. You're the best second brother-in-law

" Kena, You!! " said Qibo when he managed to lock down Zhishu's movement.

' Fuckin' shit! Why don't I think they're in cahoots? ' Zhishu's inner murmur.

With a sullen look on his face, Zhishu was brought to face Zhan Cheng and also Zhan Feng who was already waiting in the meeting hall.

Zhishu was forcibly kneeling before his father, constantly scowling Zhishu silently as a sign of his sulking.

" Dan Xishi.. Where have you been all this time? " ask Zhan Cheng.

" I don't know. "reply Zhishu.

" Look at your bad boy's words, after this we straighten out your problems with me! " said Hua.

Zhishu turned his face away from Zhan Hua after hearing his chatter.

" Your two brothers said you were involved in the pursuit of Killer Yue, then you disappeared without a trace.. Where did you go after that? " ask Zhan Cheng again.

" Is it my fault? You left me when I got hurt, if he didn't find me maybe I died in that wilderness! " answer Zhishu.

" You hurt?? Where is the injured?? Is that severe?? How's now? Does it still hurt?? " question Qibo persisted as he approached Zhishu.

" Oh, don't get close, you fool! I was stabbed using a dagger, lost a lot of blood plus the pain appeared again, it made me run out of power, not to mention the heavy rain made the cold stab me to the bone! If it's not found, I might have rotted! " reply Zhishu ketus.

Zhan Feng who heard that only chuckled, while the face of Zhan Cheng who pretended to be serious listened instead looked funny to look at.

" It's cruel, I'll help you treat your wounds, then the punishment for Qibo and Hua'er I'll think about." Feng said gently.

" Heh, but my wound is--- "

Zhishu was surprised to find the area of his stomach wet, as he looked towards him, it turned out that the wound was back open. As he started to remember, his sharp eyes were directed towards Zhan Hua.

" Zhan Hua's.. It's because you know? " says Zhishu cynically.

Feng helped Zhishu get up and took him away from there, only that the nosy Zhishu would not turn his gaze away from Zhan Hua.

Meanwhile, Zhan Cheng could only chuckle softly when Zhishu had already completely left the place.

" Is he really okay? " ask Qibo.

" Dad, I'm afraid he hit his head when he was unconscious.. Why did his gaze suddenly become frightening, it was too strange right? " ask Hua.

" Instead of that, you better prepare yourself for the punishment that Zhan Feng will give you tomorrow" Cheng said before finally moving on.

" I'm sorry." muttered Qibo.

" Yes, I did too. "pastor Hua.

In the days that followed, Qibo and Hua were practicing swords with their father, while Zhishu and Feng were looking at them from the side. In front of Zhishu was a beautiful guzheng, but Zhishu just stared at him.

" You didn't play it? " ask Feng.

" Does my sister know how to play it? " ask Zhishu.

" Ah, it turns out that way, let me teach you a little." said Feng.

The instant Zhishu's eyes sparkled, his smile suddenly heard that.

Thoroughly, Zhishu observed the way Feng played the guzheng, even to the point of seeing how his fingers moved.

After giving an example, Zhan Feng asked Zhishu to play the same music as he had just taught. Many times defeated, many times Zhishu tried it, Feng seemed patient to teach Zhishu, following Zhishu who seemed very eager to understand the musical instrument with persistent learning.

Until his patience reached the end, Zhishu began to complain.

" Ah, it looks like I'll just learn the sword.. My fingers looked stiff despite having been trained many times." Zhishu said with a slight complaint.

" You are a girl, how can you choose a sword compared to a musical instrument.. In general, a girl will learn music, poetry and beautify themselves.. You see how you are.. If it goes on like this I worry that no one wants to be with you" Feng said.

" Sister, those words are too cruel! If I can't be like a girl in general, I can still be the only different girl, in other words I'll be the most special.. And also, I don't think of a soul mate, I have three handsome older sisters who are always beside me, that's more than enough! " reply Zhishu.

" Heh, I shouldn't have said that! " grunts Zhishu.

" Look, listen to me.. Even though we are your brother, there is no guarantee that we will continue to be by your side, there are times when we get married and live apart from you, when that time comes you also have to prepare yourself to get married and live a new life" Feng said.

" Heh, just tell me you intend to leave me! " reply Zhishu then moved.

Zhishu left, using his horse, with a silk mask covering his face, he went to the mountain in the eastern region, the Qiyi mountain.

His face looks annoyed, Zhishu to show a frown on his forehead so upset.

' Actually, wasn't I alone in the first place? Brother saying that really sounds stupid! I already know the truth!!! '

Although Zhishu muttered so, there were still many parts that he did not know, including the origin of himself.

On his way, he tried to calm himself. Trying to find something that could make him forget the things that were annoying to him. Until he finally reached the Shingming residence, and took off his mask.

In the front yard, Qianfan was sitting enjoying his tea, Zhishu appeared suddenly and attacked Qianfan from behind. However, Qianfan unexpectedly managed to dodge and deny Zhishu's attack.

" I guessed it.. You're a swordsman, " murmured Zhishu.

Seeing Zhishu's unusual sword ability, Qianfan finally decided to accompany Zhishu to play for a while until Zhishu finally admitted his defeat.

" Well, I lost, what an interesting welcome! " said Zhishu.

Qianfan smiled, he extended his hand to help Zhishu stand up. After that they sat on the terrace with tea.

" The sword is too pretty, by the way where did you learn the swordsmanship? " ask Qianfan.

" No, no.. I was not patronized by anyone, just watching and observing what my father taught my brother." Zhishu replied.

" Is your father a swordsman? " ask Qianfan.

" He's a healer.. However, his abilities in swordsmanship are excellent" Zhishu replied.

" Well, he's great.. "

" What about you? Your abilities are far above mine.. Did you study in the Banisa de laohu Clan? " ask Zhishu.

" No, this is a hereditary legacy" Qianfan replied.

" Hm, you live alone on this mountain, don't you think about opening a martial arts academy? " ask Zhishu.

' He was really active and controlled by curiosity, how old was this girl really? ' qianfan muttered in his heart.

" It sounds interesting, but what I'm good at is something else, not a general science that can be learned in every sect" Qianfan said.

" What is that? "

" Magic music.."

" huh? " Zhishu was still trying to digest what he meant.

" Jokey.. Are you interested in my swordsmanship? I can teach you strategies to attack, deny and avoid impromptu attacks. "gag Qianfan.

" Heh, you're not kidding this time, are you? I want to, I will be your student and study hard! " said Zhishu excitedly.

" Okay, but how old are you now? " ask Qianfan.

" me? Fourteen years." Zhishu replied with his innocent face.

' It turns out that I've lived ten years longer than you, no wonder you look the same as the kids out there.

From that day on, Zhishu began to leave the house frequently in the morning and returned once dusk. The time he spent just learning swordsmanship was clandestine, because after all Zhan Cheng would not allow him to touch the sword.

It did not feel that month after month Zhishu spent together with the teacher, the results of the things he had learned so far really did not disappoint. Zhishu showed that he was worthy of using the sword, even his movements had become more perfect. It was a matter of pride for Qianfan.

Two months later, when Zhishu grew tired of his sword, Zhishu asked Qianfan to teach him how to play Guzheng's instrument. During this time Zhishu only listened to the music that Qianfan played, Zhishu thought to have other talents that Qianfan also had.

Only, at that time Yanxun with her little family came to stay at the Shingming residence. The existence of Yanxun slightly made Zhishu feel troubled.

" Qianfan, let's go hunting! " bring Yanxun.

" No no! Master has promised to teach me to play guzheng! " said Zhishu.

" Heh, lately he has been with you, this time let him spend time with me! " yanxun said.

" Can't! " reply Zhishu while embracing Qianfan's right arm.

" You!! Let go of her hand, I told you she'd hunt with me! " yanxun said as she embraced Qianfan's left arm.

" No!! What looks good if a grown man fights over another man with a girl!! " ask Zhishu.

" He's my friend!! " reply Yanxun.

" You're embracing your friend like this, it looks abnormal! Unhand her! " zhishu firmly.

Qianfan who was in the middle of the children who were fighting mouth was overwhelmed, while Nuan only chuckled to see it happen to his brother.

Qianfan coded Nuan to help him, but Nuan continued to chuckle until finally tired of holding back his laughter.

" Let my brother hunt with Xiao xun, instead I will teach you to play Guzheng." Nuan said.

Hearing that, Zhishu only sighed then relented and released Qianfan's arm from his embrace. Zhishu walked over to Nuan, while Qianfan was just staring at his right hand that Zhishu had just released.

" Heh, Qianfan, what's wrong? You look disappointed, " said Yanxun almost whispered.

" I'll prepare his bow. "reply Qianfan as he steps away.

On the way to the forest, the moody Qianfan made Yanxun feel guilty and suspicious at the same time.

" Qianfan, you look glum, are you really disappointed that he gave in to me? Or maybe you already like it unconsciously? " ask Yanxun.

Spontaneously, Qianfan stopped his steps, he fell silent while thinking of something. Meanwhile, at the same time, Zhishu appeared lethargic as Nuan was teaching him. Knowing Zhishu's bad mood, Nuan opened the conversation to an interesting topic.

" his? What was? " ask Nuan.

Zhishu simply shook his head.

" You're feeling sad because my brother left with Xiao xun? " ask Nuan.

" Do I look sad? " ask Zhishu.

" Yes, it looks obvious.. Do you like my brother? " ask Nuan.

Like Qianfan, Zhishu fell silent after hearing such a question. Maybe because they spend too much time together, until the feeling arises without any of them realizing it.
