The Whispering Wind Sword

50. Chapter 50's

Although it was actually quite a long time Huang Ying Ying lay down with a red blushing face, recalling the events that had happened. Long, before he finally fell asleep, lulled into a beautiful dream.

If Huang Ying Ying fell asleep, it was different from Ding Tao.

Immediately after he said goodbye to Huang Ying Ying, this young man began to meditate, trying to recover his slightly overflowing holy set. The young man furrowed his brows as he sensed the presence of a wild pure air within his body.

Perhaps that was the pure air of the 7 Wounds Fist punch, which Physician Shao said. The young man did not dare to be too rash, he slowly tried to regulate the pure air within his body.

At first he tried to push the wild pure air into the tantien, uniting it with his own pure air. But the attempt failed, the two could not unite, but fight each other.

Failing with his efforts, another attempt was made by the young man, trying to push out the wild pure air from his body. But even this effort failed, this wild pure air is not easy to manage. Back two pure airs of different natures in his body fought each other.

The harder Ding Tao tried to control the wild pure air, the stronger the resistance.

Worried that it would aggravate the wounds on his body, Ding Tao was forced to let the wild pure air entrenched in his body. Now his attention is more poured on the effort to strengthen his own pure air. At least it will be able to help him to secure the foreign pure air from the possibility to damage his body from within.

No matter how long Ding Tao dissolved in his practice, when he stopped, his body felt much more comfortable, although deep down there, it still felt that there was a foreign power that was silent but not also disappearing.

When reminded of Huang Ying Ying's explanation regarding her state, in accordance with Physician Shao Yong's observation, the young man complained slowly. Without using his pure air in a fight, like he had to fight with his hands and feet tied.

Inevitably even Ding Tao became reminded of the Whispering Wind Sword, armed with the sword in hand in his current state would certainly be of great help.

Its shortcomings in terms of power, can still be offset by the sharpness of the sword. He remembered the young man with his teacher's message.

A strong determination formed within him, as long as he was alive, he would strive to fulfill his teacher's message.

Either with a sword or without a sword. A plan began to form in his mind, the first thing he had to do was to heal himself. As long as he was still suffering from injuries that prevented him from freely using his pure air, there was no meaning to the Whispering Wind Sword being in his hands.

Let alone being injured, even in a fresh state of fitness, it is still questionable whether he can sign Ren Zuocan or not.

It was better for the Whispering Wind Sword to be in Tiong Fa's hands, than to fall into Ren Zuocan's hands. Moreover, the young man still remembered said the excited Tiong Fa. Ding

Tao also hoped that Tiong Fa's attack on him was not entirely driven by personal greed as Huang Ying Ying and his brother had expected.

" Maybe he still thinks that I don't deserve to bear that sword. Come to think of it, there was a point too, it was too easy for the sword to slip out of hand. Isn't that

Great swordsman Jin Yong, lost that sword because it was poisoned by people? I should have been more careful about eating and drinking. The incident that happened to Swordsman Jin Yong and my experience last night, should be a valuable lesson".

The young man thought and thought.

The longer he thought, the stronger his belief was that for the time being it was better for him not to attempt to regain the Whispering Wind Sword.

" Let it be kept here, if we attempt to regain the sword but fail. Elder Tiong could have disappeared along with the sword and it was getting harder for us to get him back. Let the Elder

Tiong kept it for now, in my current state, Elder Tiong's chance of successfully confronting Ren Zuocan using the sword was greater than my chance".

If not Ding Tao, who else could think like that?

How many martial world masters were willing to die to obtain the sword, but Ding Tao could release it without regret. Not that he had forgotten his teacher's message, but he understood the spirit contained in his teacher's message. It is not a matter of sword possession

important, but rather his efforts to dampen Ren Zuocan's ambitions that endanger the country.

After reaching one decision, Ding Tao became calmer. Closing his eyes, the young man let his tiredness and drowsiness overwhelm him, giving his body time to heal itself.

When everyone was asleep, the four leaders in the Huang family were having a secret meeting.

" Fuckin' healer !! How could he dare to contact Ying's sister, if not for her, the matter would not be this complicated", Huang Ren Fang growled.

Tiong Fa who had lowered his head earlier, sighed,

" Oh, I was wrong this time. Things are not going according to plan. Starting from the persistence of Ding Tao maintaining that sword and then continuing with defeat after defeat, at the peak of my defeat in the match".

Shaking slowly, Tiong Fa stood up and walked back and forth in the room,

" Those successive failures, coupled with my inability to accept the reality of Ding Tao's talent beyond my expectations, made me go too recklessly".

" What do you mean?", asked the great master Huang Jin coldly.

Tiong Fa turned his head towards him and understood, his statement earlier could also be considered as a satire, because in the end it was the great Lord Huang Jin who made plans to take Ding Tao's sword that night as well. The night on which Zhang Zhiyi's life ended.

" There's no need to rouse so Brother Jin, if we want to think more clearly, isn't it too hasty what we did that night? First Ding Tao is still a few days living in our house, there is plenty of time to make a more mature plan. But more importantly, even if everything goes according to plan, how will we explain the appearance of the Whispering Wind Sword in the hands of the Huang family?"

" Nearly all the important people in our family already know that Ding Tao has it, if suddenly the sword falls into our hands, it will fall into our hands, can't it be easily guessed that we have forcibly taken the sword? In the end similar problems though not exactly the same as the problems we are facing now will arise. These are cracks in our own families, which will weaken our position".

" We all make mistakes, too impetuous to see the sword in plain sight. But I admit the biggest mistake was with me. From my failure to obtain the sword in a peaceful manner to my failure to silence Ding Tao for good. It was my repeated failure that put us in our present position".

Huang Yunshu stared at the figure of Tiong Fa with his sharp eyes, although the wrinkles had already outlined the streak of time on his old face,

" Is that really Big Brother Tiong?", asked the great master Huang Jin with a cold countenance.

Even though he could accept Tiong Fa's explanation, his heart was still hot given the chaos that was going on and right now his irritation was spilling on Tiong Fa. Tiong Fa was not Tiong Fa by name if nervous or angry at Huang Jin's cold eyes. In the presence of others, his face always looked calm, no one could tell the turmoil of feelings in his heart.

" Surely so, ever since I was forced to kill Zhang Zhiyi, I've come to my senses, there were too many holes in my work that night. Unless there were gods to help me, it was almost certain that sooner or later there would be people who were aware of my involvement, at least suspecting my involvement. So I started making plans to get us out of this".

" What's your plan?"

With a faint smile Tiong Fa replied,

" We give them what they want. In time, you managed to reveal the evidence of my betrayal. Too bad I kissed that too soon and managed to escape".

Shiny eyes Huang Jin,

" And what will you do after you escape?"

" Hmm.. some people from the Huang family turned out to have long since switched their loyalty to me, by themselves they also disappeared along with the disappearance of me. It was unclear what happened, but if there was any crime outside that Tiong Fa committed, it had nothing to do with the Huang family",

finished saying that Tiong Fa sat back in his chair, and calmly looked towards Huang Jin, waiting for his decision.

" Hmm.. With that path, then even Huang's surname can be cleared from your involvement in the matter of Ding Tao and his sword. Although it seems like the strength of the Huang family is divided, but actually it is not, because you and your followers still work for the family. Precisely this arrangement makes the position of the Huang family more secure. We stand in the light and you work in the dark. But what is the advantage to you? This arrangement is indeed very beneficial to the Huang family, but what about you?"

Tiong Fa straightened his body and displayed a sad face for a while,

" I will leave my family, they have nothing to do with my betrayal, by themselves the Huang family will stand up to protect them. The generosity of the great Lord Huang Jin was matchless, the son of Tiong Fa the traitor was even raised a child".

Seeing that the great master Huang Jin did not say anything, Tiong Fa continued his description,

" As such, my work in the dark that supports the Huang family's movement to come forward in the martial world, means that I am working for my own offspring".

Then with a grin on his face he added,

" After all, enjoying money and power, whether it be in the darkness or under the light of the sun, makes no difference to me at all. Everything stays the same, the more powerful the Huang family is, the greater my power".

Coldly Great Master Huang Jin added,

" This arrangement also increases your freedom to use the power in your hands, for your own purposes".

Tiong Fa did not feel the need to cover anything from this brother-in-law, their trust had long since been built on the basis of mutual need,

" Yes, but you know, I was wise enough to know that it was better for me to actually work for the Huang family than to betray him. A divided kingdom will only become weak and easy prey for your opponents ".

" Hmm...., then what about the Whispering Wind Sword?", asked the Great Master Huang Jin.

Tiong Fa who had thought about it replied lightly,

" It's best that I carry the sword for a while".

Great master Huang Jin did not say anything, only his eyebrows were raised, asking for further explanation.

The feeling was already much calmer, Tiong Fa's plan seemed to be to clear up all the mess that had already occurred.

" It is only until I succeed in killing Ding Tao, after that, that we can arrange for a clash between the Huang family and a group of traitors. The result of the battle, although the main character, namely me, managed to escape. But the Whispering Wind Sword fell into the hands of the Huang family",

tiong Fa replied, explaining his plan regarding the Whispering Wind Sword.

" I don't think it's necessary to go that far, Whispering Wind Sword, it's best to keep it here, rather than Uncle Tiong carrying his-carry out. Of course we will not use it, until Ding Tao dies and plans to attack Uncle Tiong Fa's lair occur" Huang Ren Fang said.

Sharp-eyed Tiong Fa glanced at his nephew, then with a cold smile he replied,

" Of course, it doesn't matter, even though it makes our work a little more, because if the sword is indeed in my hands, it would certainly be easier to point that out, anyway, that it was I who sat that night in Ding Tao's room"

" Yes uncle was right, but I think uncle was smart enough to work on it all without actually having that sword in hand. Even for a while we can spread rumors outside that Ding Tao still has the sword and hasten the young man's death. Even if he escapes our tracking, there will be a lot of people out there sniffing out his whereabouts".

Tiong Fa's heart ached, but he was unwilling to prolong the matter, though,

" Hmm, I told you earlier, no problem. If you think it's better, but of course the decision is still in your father's hands".

Huang Jin smiled coldly,

" If it's Big Brother Tiong, there's no problem, neither am I. So let the sword be kept here".

Great master Huang Jin nodded in satisfaction, all problems have already been solved. There was no meaningful loss, only a Zhang Zhiyi.
