The Whispering Wind Sword

27.Banquets

The dinner was done quite simply, but almost all members of the Huang family were invited there.

No less than 30 people had come to eat together, for that a long and wide table was provided, at the head of the table of course sat the great Lord Huang Jin. On his left and right were Tiong Fa and Huang Yunshu, then following the successive confidants of Huang Jin.

The further away from the head of the table, the lower and younger in terms of age that sits there. Ding Tao was not at the one end but not close to Huang Jin's position.

But Ding Tao did not feel offended, instead he felt happy because nearby were people who were almost his age.

Right on his right side was Huang Ying Ying chattering incessantly. I don't know what's being said, but make Ding Tao's ear every story or joke that is thrown is very interesting and funny.

Throughout the meal, smiles and laughter never escaped his lips.

Of course it was not out of Huang Jin's attention, in his heart he was forced to admit the truth of Huang Yunshu's words and his eldest son Huang Ren Fang. Her heart was slightly comforted to see Huang Ying Ying herself seem to like Ding Tao and throughout the show Ding Tao was being very polite towards her daughter.

Therefore he was not too riled up when he heard his eldest son tease Huang Ying Ying,

―Sister Ying, I see Ding Tao is a very polite person, arguably suitable to be the husband of a girl like you who has a bengal nature.‖ermark

Huang Ren Fang's temptation was constant to make Ding Tao's face red like a boiled crab, Huang Ying Ying who usually did not care about the person's opinion, somehow the night was a little different. Although her mouth was open but the mischievous girl who could usually quickly avenge the temptation of that person this time died a flea.

Of course seeing the reaction of the two, the people around him also became tempting.

The dining event was becoming more lively, of course not just tempting the pair of young people, other issues were discussed. Among other things about Ding Tao's experience during those two years.

Several times the young man had to repeat the same story about his fight with Wang Chen Jin and how Gu Tong Dang saved his life at the most critical moment.

When Tiong Fa saw that almost everyone had stopped eating, he cleared his throat for a moment to draw attention.

As everyone's attention was on him Tiong Fa turned towards Ding Tao and in an earnest tone he asked,

―Ding Tao, actually I don't want to ask this. But from this afternoon, I was thinking, about that sword. Would it not be better for you to hand the sword over to our Huang family?‖ermark

The room that was boisterous with conversation suddenly became quiet, the wide smile on Ding Tao's face disappeared replaced by a paled face.

Had the question been asked earlier this afternoon, when he had just met the great Master Huang Jin, perhaps Ding Tao would not have been as astonished as he was now.

Not only was Ding Tao shocked, many of the young people in the room were similarly shocked. The affairs of the Huang family's ambitions in the martial world and its relationship with the Whispering Wind Sword were indeed affairs that were kept secret both by Huang Jin and the people

his trust.

The ingenious Tiong Fa of course had already taken this into account. From the beginning the Huang family saw itself as part of a straight stream, if now Tiong Fa

saying he wanted to ask for the sword from Ding Tao without being able to give a strong reason, naturally all the world figures of the martial will looked at them as trash.

―Ding Tao, do not misunderstand me, my opinion is not based on personal ambition.‖ermark

Silently for a moment Tiong Fa looked around the room,

―I see here who are here, all of them are trustworthy people. I also believe Ding Tao is wise enough to keep a secret about the existence of the sword in his hand.‖ermark

Everyone stared at Tiong Fa with a serious face, only a slightly different person, that was the bratty Huang Ying Ying. His face flushed slightly while biting his lower lip.

How not to be ashamed, this naughty girl who was the hardest to resist spoke, in her heart she was grateful, fortunately this afternoon when she was about to meet her caregiver and tell about Ding Tao's experience, he said, his father called him to the training room. Try if not, surely he had told the matter of the sword to his nanny's aunt, who was no less baffled and liked to gossip.

Under such circumstances, the girl's own face actually became even more sweet and seductive, it was a pity that no one in the room had time to admire her. Moreover, Ding Tao who at that time felt like he was being thrust with a sword right above his heart.

―But one thing to remember, no matter what secret it is closed, one moment it will be revealed as well. Ding Tao don't you know how many figures in the martial world are trying to sniff the traces of the sword in your hand?‖ermark

―As long as you hold the sword, as long as your life is threatened. But that's not my only reason to ask you to leave that sword in the Huang family's custody.‖ermark

―The other reason was the matter of the Sun and Moon Sect led by Ren Zuocan. Maybe you don't know yet, the only thing that scares the devil is the sword in your hand, before he can exterminate or get the sword he won't be able to rest in peace.‖ermark

―His power and strength in person are increasing year by year. Many members of the martial world had secretly sworn allegiance to him.

Not only is the martial world in danger, but our country as a whole. Just imagine if the barbarian desengkot managed to take control of the land martial world, how long before their troops would cross the border and plunder our homes?‖ermark

Hearing Tiong Fa's words that were full of patriotism, the faces that had previously furrowed brows now nodded in agreement.

Including Ding Tao himself.

―Because it is Ding Tao, with a heavy heart and harboring shame, I ask you to hand over the sword to the Huang family's watch. Not because of personal ambition, but because of my love for you and also my obligation to my country and homeland.‖ermark

Great true slippery tongue Tiong Fa, already from ancient times, there are people who have slippery tongue slippery snake, which with his ability to talk and theatrical able to captivate the hearts of his listeners. Especially the inexperienced ones. Moreover, the utterant was the person they respected in ordinary days, not a second did it cross their minds that such sweet and passionate words, were, nothing more than fragrant wine that hides the fishy vile poison.

So great were the words, even the ones uttering themselves were lulled in by it. In the shadow of Huang Jin and his confidants, there was a part of them that comforted the heart with that defense, Although deep within their hearts, they were, they know that personal ambition and greed are the driving motivations.

Though they are all people who understand even some of them are very obedient in religion. There are also those who practice Buddhism who follow the teachings of Confucius.

Then why does greed still rule their hearts? Why do they have the heart to sacrifice others for their personal ambitions?

How can a healer heal the sick, if the sick themselves do not want to realize the pain?

Woe to those who have deceived themselves, indeed their ingenuity has become a snare to their own souls.
