The Whispering Wind Sword

3.Chapter 3

Moreover, everyone knows his perseverance for years trying to prepare for the exam, while many peers have preceded him.

His brain, which is seen as a bit stupid to receive silat lessons, actually makes people sympathize when they see his perseverance that does not know the word give up.

"Ding Tao come here, come forward.",

with a smile Grand Master Huang Jin looked at the foolish young man who had graduated as the best participant, as in previous years, the best graduate would receive a gift of a sword engraved with the letter Huang on the handle.

The sword is not a kind of heirloom sword contested by martial figures, he said, but the sword was made of high-quality selected steel and was made with high precision by a master swordsman who had entered into one of the Huang family members.

With Ding Tao's chest pounding forward to receive the sword, his face flushed in embarrassment, becoming the center of attention of so many people.

The young lady of the Huang family did not stop clapping.

Arriving at the front, Ding Tao did not forget to bow, paying his respects to the great Master Huang Jin. Patting Ding Tao on the shoulder, Great Master Huang Jin handed him the sword, saying,

"Congratulations, this is all the result of your perseverance over the years."

Suddenly in the middle of the cheers came a voice that was not too loud, but loud enough to be heard by the people who were at the front, who were at the front,

"Great perseverance, years of learning basic moves, maybe later after the 70s more then the end of the lesson. I just don't know, at that time he was still strong enough to raise his sword or not."

Everyone who heard it fell silent and turned to the direction of the voice.

Apparently the handsome young man who was not happy young lady Huang praised Ding Tao could no longer hold back his feelings. In his heart he could not accept, that the foolish Ding Tao in his mind, could get so much attention. Especially after he heard the stories of the people around him, how Ding Tao failed the test in the previous years.

The more Ding Tao's radiant face was seen, the more his heart was thickened, until finally without restraint came the cry.

When the young man realized, his words had attracted the attention of many people, his face had turned bright red, but indeed his high customs could not be changed, moreover he did not feel wrong with the words.

In his heart he comforted himself,

"Hmm. No matter what people say, what I say is true."

In a short time the field that was full of cheers became soft and quiet. Not a few participants who feel they deserve to be winners cheer in their hearts and wait for what will happen after this.

For a moment no one made a sound, not even the great Master Huang Jin who was the host, was at a loss for words. He had hoped that his invited guest, a man in his 40s with a moustache and a neatly trimmed beard, would reprimand him, reprimanding his son who had let go of speech.

But after waiting for a while, the man just remained silent, in Huang Jin's heart cursing, his brain was spinning hard.

Actually his relationship with the man was not too familiar, the man was Wang Dou, the strongest person who controlled the area around the north of the Yangtze river. Grand master Huang Jin was trying to establish a relationship between them because he had ambitions to expand his business to the northern regions.

For that he needs a good relationship with this person, so that the distribution to the new area is not disturbed.

His goal today was to invite Wang Dou and his son, Wang Chen Jin, in addition to deepening the already existing relationship, also to show the strength of the Huang family.

Hostile was unfavorable, but if Wang Dou viewed himself as too weak, it would also be disadvantageous.

Now it seemed that Wang Dou was precisely trying to test his determination, if he were to stagnate in such a way, naturally Wang Dou would consider himself weak and could determine any security tax of his own accord.

If he is too hard in addressing this issue, it is not impossible that there will be a deep hostility between the two, because in the martial world, the problem of self-esteem is often a strange problem.

"He, what do you mean say that!?"

While shaking his waist he stood up to challenge Wang Chen Jin.

Wang Chen Jin who was challenged in such a way by the girl who had already captivated his heart so stammered. But the custom is high, he can not admit wrong or apologize, even if it was against the girl of his worship.

With a dead red face he tried to defend himself,

"What's my wrong word? If not stupid people of course in a short time have mastered simple moves like that. If not a shameless person, naturally he would refuse this respect. I know the kindness of you Huang family, but a dumb and shameless person like him, is worth remembering."

Ding Tao who heard that answer inwardly felt increasingly inferior, although in the corner of his heart there was also a sense of pride because the young lady he adored was so defensive of him, he said, but really he hopes the event is not prolonged. It is better for him if the best graduate degree is revoked and given to others.

Truly dead he did not expect that title, as long as it could pass he was already very grateful.

Glanced at the great master Huang Jin and stammeredly he whispered,

"Great master.., this..this..sword...maybe it's inappropriate for me. I..."

The great master Huang Jin who heard those words only smiled, slowly he patted Ding Tao on the shoulder and whispered,

"Already, just calm your heart, let's see how, child Ying, solve this matter."

Indeed, the advance of the young lady Huang Ying-Ying pleased her father, as Wang Dou silenced his son to insult Ding Tao to test himself, so that he could not do so, Huang Jin let Ying Ying advance hit Wang Chen Jin and saw Wang Dou's reaction.

Meanwhile Ying Ying who heard Wang Chen Jin's defense became even more furious, understandably like Wang Chen Jin was also this young miss, a high-ranking girl of his custom, as the only girl in the Huang family she was spoiled by her father and brothers,

"What's? Whahuh? Whatdidyou say? Idiot? You're the idiot!"

His brain turned to seek a defense for Ding Tao and suddenly remembered the story of his father about the lunge of his great-grandfather while still active in the martial world.

"Hmm. You are a young man who does not know the height and depth of silat. Didn't you hear the words, with 3 swordsmanship Huang Cheng Yan mastered Wuling? It is precisely your view that is more stupid than Ding Tao, cannot judge the depth of a stance."

Replace the curious young man, without feeling he jumped out of his chair and pointed at Ding Tao with the handle of his sword,

"What's? Whahuh? I'm more stupid than that buffalo? Tell him to fight me and I'll show you how stupid he is."

Wang Dou who had been silent since then, suddenly stood up and patted his son's shoulder while laughing,

"Hahaha, young people don't have manners."

Turning him towards the great Lord Huang Jin and the other elders of the Huang family while slightly bowing his head, with two double hands in front, he said,

"Gentlemen, forgive my young son, his parents are less able to teach him manners. Please be advised, we are nothing more than rude people, who study the science of war but do not know the science of letters."

"But indeed, martial people, if they have not fought swords and fists, do not seem to be good acquaintances.

How about we just let these two young people compete."

Pointing towards Ding Tao he said, "Let the little hero give this insolent son a chastisement."
