The Whispering Wind Sword

48. Chapter 48's

Imagining the state of Ding Tao back then, tears spread in Huang Ying Ying's eyes, gently holding Ding Tao's hand, she said,

" I'm sorry Ding Tao, I was the one who gave you the medicine…"

Ding Tao who could feel the pain of the girl's heart tried to calm her down, though,

" Sister Ying, don't be sad, I know what you and your father mean. It was just that the timing coincided with the arrival of the two people."

Hearing that Huang Ying Ying felt even more guilty, because her father had planned the theft and murder. But he could not say that to Ding Tao, not daring him to imagine what would happen if Ding Tao knew that. What if the young man hated her? Or what if the young man then went to fight with his father? Huang Ying Ying did not care about the Whispering Wind Sword, he did not care about Ren Zuocan. There was no need for Ding Tao to be the number one swordsman from where the young man did not hate him only that he was already happy.

Sorrowfully the girl shook her head weakly, Ding Tao who saw the girl getting sadder became even more confused.

" Sing Ying's sister, Ying's sister, don't be sad, don't ever feel guilty towards me. Sister Ying only you have always been kind to me long ago, that I know clearly. Ying's sister remember you two years ago? When I passed the exam up the rankings that time?"

With wet eyes Huang Ying Ying looked at Ding Tao then nodded slowly.

" That day, the day I've always remembered for two years, do you know why I felt so happy when I remembered her?"

" Because you were champion at the time?"

" No, not because of that, of course there is a sense of pleasure, but that is not what makes me remember. Except for your smile, your laugh when you see me declared as the best graduate. I still remember your cheers at that time. That day you looked so happy, and I was the one who made you laugh and cheer. Therefore Sister Ying, do not be sad anymore, because it will make me feel sad anyway".

The seduction of young scabies like Ding Tao is of course far inferior to the seduction of a skilled romantic youth.

But Ding Tao's sincerity could not be matched by these of them, let alone hearing him was Huang Ying Ying who was in love with the young man. Directly her face met with red, a smile on her lips, with her cheeks still decorated with tears that had not dried, making her look more beautiful than usual.

Ding Tao who was relieved, saw the smile on Huang Ying Ying's face, without feeling any looser his tongue. Assisted with the effects of the drug he drank has not completely disappeared.

Although Ding Tao was no longer attacked by drowsiness, his consciousness had yet to fully recover. The atmosphere and conditions at that time also felt so strange to Ding Tao's reasoning and beyond his common sense, making Ding Tao not focus on everyday reality. What he usually craved, was thrown out so easily.

" Sister Ying, do you know how hard it was when teacher and I decided to leave without saying goodbye two years ago? Not because I was daunted by the weight of wandering life, but because I was afraid of being looked down upon by you, as an ungrateful person. If there is any consolation for me, it is the teacher's promise, that after I have finished the Huang family's studies, I will have enough provisions to face the danger and return to explain all this to you".

Huang Ying Ying became even more moved, considering that it was precisely because of this that Ding Tao's life was threatened and the young man lost a very valuable heirloom sword. Complaining short, the girl dropped herself into Ding Tao's arms.

Ding Tao who had to get up to his feet had to go to great lengths, grinning in pain as the delicate body of Huang Ying Ying hit his still-painful body. With all his might the young man refrained from screaming in pain. His body was indeed sick and it took quite a long time before the pain was no longer piercing, but let alone the pain, if at that time he was pierced by a sword, the young man was willing.

" Sister Ying, for two years, only your shadow has given me strength",

trembling Ding Tao's voice, with the youth emboldened to embrace Huang Ying Ying's body gently.

" Ah... Big Brother Ding. I. I am too.", replied Huang Ying Ying with a thumping heart.

Of course this was not entirely true, indeed Huang Ying Ying had long since liked the young man, but it was not like this time. Her admiration only really grew when Ding Tao returned from his two-year odyssey. And that awe grew until it really developed into love when Ding Tao showed his prowess in a friendly the previous day.

But those words were sweet to Ding Tao's ears, and to Huang Ying Ying it felt like they were appropriate. It felt like he had loved Ding Tao for years, even since they were children.

Leaning on Ding Tao's chest that field, the girl felt so happy, whispering to Ding Tao, she sincerely promised, the girl felt so happy,

" Sister Ding, regarding your sword, I promise to help you get it back"

" My sword? Sword…?"

Ding Tao abruptly let go of his embrace and surged in shock. Only now did he think of his sword, the one that his teacher entrusted to him. So shocked was he that he forgot the wound on his chest and jumped to his feet. Only after he jumped to his feet and the pain struck violently did the young man stir and cling to the wardrobe that was nearby, holding his body back from falling.

Huang Ying Ying looked at Ding Tao anxiously, anxious about Ding Tao's injuries, anxious about the young man's reaction, who apparently had not realized that he had already lost the Whispering Wind Sword.

Though Huang Ying Ying who knew the young man well, knew very well how Ding Tao upheld the responsibility that was placed on him.

Ding Tao who could already control himself, nodded his head limply, then aided by Huang Ying Ying, slowly he sat down beside Huang Ying Ying.

" Sister Ying, what is really going on? I remember someone attacking me while I was fast asleep. There's not much I remember next, there's just the desire to escape danger and find a safe place".

Huang Ying Ying lost her mind, what should she tell the young man?

Stammering, the girl told how Ding Tao had fallen unconscious in front of her room. The murder of Zhang Zhiyi, Tiong Fa's accusation of Ding Tao, and the discovery of Physician Shao Yong, who cleared Ding Tao's name, are all classified.

It was also told about what he had done together with his brother and the reaction of Great Lord Huang Jin who supported their decision.

In her heart the girl felt guilty, for covering up the real events.

Ding Tao, who had just come to his senses from his sleep, had for some time been unable to say anything. Let alone talking, his mind is still slowly rotating to process new inputs that are very heavy and difficult to digest.

" Older Tiong Fa planned all this?", he asked in a tone of disbelief.

" Yes, at least that's our guess. Brother Ding, are you mad at me? If it wasn't for the drug…",

tears were once again spreading in Huang Ying Ying's eyes. But Ding Tao's finger quickly touched the girl's lips, signaling for her to stop talking.

" Sister Ying, don't blame yourself. I don't blame you, I'm even very grateful to you. Were it not for your help, not only would I have lost my sword, I would have lost my life".

" But Brother Ding, that sword isn't very precious? What about Coach Gu's message to you?"

Gently Ding Tao grabbed onto Huang Ying Ying's hand.

That was how the first start of holding hands was still doubtful, after it turned out that Huang Ying Ying was not angry, even the girl had time to lay down her body, leaning on Ding Tao's chest, this young man became even more courageous.

"Sister Ying, everyone in the martial world may view the sword as the most precious heirloom. But for me…",

until here the heart of Ding Tao is fluttering faster.

" For me, you are much more valuable. I.. I. have been for a long time, I love you.", Ding Tao's red face after saying those words.

Suddenly there was a sense of worry, worry if Huang Ying Ying refused his love.Different from Ding Tao's feelings, Huang Ying Ying's feelings were like being lulled into space. Once again the girl threw herself over Ding Tao's chest which was fielding, in a whisper she replied, saying,

" I, me too…"

Huang Ying Ying's short answer, but that short one already made Ding Tao feel very happy. For dozens of years he harbored a sense of liking, whether it had been how many times since he left the Huang family residence, he

imagine moments like this. When that moment finally arrived, it was really difficult to describe how he felt.

" You mean, how about me?",

tanyanya.

" Yes that's it…",

bashfully Huang Ying Ying replied.

" Is that how?"

ding Tao's eyes flashed mischievously, as huang Ying Ying glanced towards his face and anxiously the girl pinched Ding Tao hard, until the child

the young man asked for forgiveness.
