The Whispering Wind Sword

51. Companions

Morning comes to give freshness, for a moment the minds of those who have just awakened after a night of deep sleep, enjoying the freshness felt. Before yesterday's problems and worries about the future, ambush and pull them back to life's often unpleasant realities.

Happy people who after waking up and realizing what has happened and imagining what is ahead, just smile and laugh, then rise up eagerly to welcome a new day.

Ding Tao and Huang Ying Ying, Tiong Fa and Great Master Huang Jin, that day they woke up early with a burning spirit. Smiling reminiscing about the things that happened last night and with a fresh feeling, looking forward to the good things that will happen today.

If Ding Tao and Huang Ying Ying had heard the talk of Tiong Fan and Great Master Huang Jin last night, they would have different feelings. Likewise, on the contrary, if only the great Master Huang Jin had witnessed the events last night in Huang Ying Ying's room, perhaps he wouldn't have smiled as widely as he did now.

Is anyone crying over Zhang Zhiyi's death? Unfortunately the young man had no family, although his death was still the subject of conversation on the third day, but no one was crying over his disappearance.

When Huang Ying Ying opened the closet door, Ding Tao was still sound asleep. Slowly the girl picked up the clothes she was about to wear. Then he knelt down in front of the young man and for some time he just silently observed the face of his lover.

With a red met face, the girl jumped to her feet and went to take a bath.

Ding Tao was awakened by the gurgling sound from the direction of the bathroom, for a moment he was stunned and remembered where he was now. When his memory had gathered, the young man got up and sat down cross-legged. His heart felt light, the sword matter was no longer weighing on him. Feelings that have long been hidden have been expressed and received a good reception.

Today was the best day for him. It was easy for the young man to put his mind together and begin to train his pure set. The wild Eve from Boxing 7 wounds, still hiding in his body, but the young man had already begun to recognize the properties of the foreign pure air in his body.

Even though he could not control or free himself from it yet, but at least he could put the stranger to sleep and not disturb as Ding Tao gradually tried to use his pure air to help his body heal itself from the wound.

The sound of water gurgling had long stopped, footsteps could be heard approaching towards the closet, then Huang Ying Ying's voice whispered,

" Sister Ding, I want to go out for breakfast together, sister wait a minute, I'll bring breakfast for brother".

Enough rest and pure air that began to gather again, made Ding Tao's body feel much fresher than yesterday. As long as Huang Ying Ying was outside, Ding Tao busied himself with inner strength training, gathering pure air and slowly trying to channel it to the desired parts of the body.

There are still many paths that have not been penetrated and with the presence of foreign pure air in his body, Ding Tao cannot be as powerful as before in using pure air.

Every time the foreign pure air is felt to be turbulent, the use of pure air is retained in the body. Waiting for the blow of Fist 7 Wounds, back to sleep.

Anxious as well Ding Tao's heart observed the upheaval that was occurring within his body. Eve punches Boxing 7 Wounds, making him unable to freely use the set of pure air that he has.

In his mind, what happens in a fight when the use of pure air must be limited.

Facing an opponent who had not reached the level of using pure air in fighting, would not be a problem, but the opponents before him now were not children yesterday afternoon.

In his heart repeated the testimony of Physician Shao delivered by Huang Ying Ying.

Monk Khongzhe and Reverend Chong Xan, two magicians who might be able to heal his wounds.

There is also a Kongtong College, but if the person who attacked it is still related to Kongtong College, going there, it will be a suicide trip.

The best chance is to go to Shaolin or to Wudang. Realizing the situation that was now less favorable to Huang Ying Ying, the young man decided, the sooner he left, the better. When Huang Ying Ying returned to her room, Ding Tao had already made up his mind, to leave that very night.

Huang Ying Ying returned to her room, followed by her brother Huang Ren Fu. Huang Ren Fu had a hard time sleeping all night, imagining his younger sister putting a boy into the room. When they met that morning, it felt like he was interrogating Huang Ying

Ying, but his sense of regret prevented him from asking. He could only hope that inwardly, the two couples were able to hold back.

But just as Huang Ying Ying was about to return to the room, without much talk, quickly the young man lined up. Huang Ying Ying could of course understand, she was not as hard as the night before. Last night's events made him realize that the temptation was so great, there was even a sense of gratitude that Huang Ren Fu was following him. While walking after Huang Ying Ying, Huang Ren Fu still took the time to pluck 3 meat mangroves. He saw that Huang Ying Ying had only brought along a piece of cake and some sort of fruit.

For other family members, the closeness of the two brothers is not too inviting questions. They are both known to love each other.

Arriving at the room, they first make sure that not many people pass by outside. Huang Ren Fu chose to sit by the window he had deliberately opened,

so that he could easily observe the circumstances outside. After he was sure things were safe enough, Huang Ren Fu nodded slowly at Huang Ying Ying.

The hearts of the two brothers were not calm, in this afternoon, of course there would be people passing by.

" Sister Ding, we brought a little food for you"

huang Ying Ying whispered as she opened the closet door, not wide, only half open.

Ding Tao who had already finished his training, greeted Huang Ying Ying with a smile. When he saw Huang Ren Fu sitting by the window, the young man nodded politely.

" Thank you Sister Ying, thank you Brother Fu"

" This, just eat first, there's not much I can carry, but Big Brother Ren Fu also had time to take 3 pieces of mangroves for you.", Huang Ying gently squeezed the young man's hand, then go sit with Huang Ren Fu by the window.

Huang Ren Fu had already taken the chessboard and was setting it on the small table. The two brothers quickly started playing a game of chess while chatting, as if nothing had happened different from their usual day.

Gratitudefully Ding Tao enjoyed the food they brought. The young man chewed his food slowly, occasionally he stole a glance at the two brothers who were playing chess. Sometimes he had a chance to meet a glance with Huang Ying Ying who was looking towards him.

Let alone for days, just one night, their relationship has been seen far away. Perhaps they themselves did not feel, but Huang Ren Fu could see clearly, the difference between the two of them, today and the days before.

As an older brother, although he was happy for his younger brother, he was also unkempt with worry and the urge to protect his younger brother from unwanted actions. His brain turned violently, looking for a way to get Ding Tao out of his sister Huang Ying Ying's room.

It was impatient for this young man to wait for Ding Tao to finish his meal, a plan had already begun to form in his mind. He wanted to immediately submit the plan to Ding Tao, but Ding Tao actually ate so slowly.

Two times the game had Huang Ren Fu won the chess game and one time Huang Ying Ying won it, before Ding Tao finished eating all the food brought.

Three times already, there was a waiter coming and the wardrobe door had to be hurriedly closed while the food was moved first to the table. Of course the feelings of the three people were very tense and uncomfortable and hoped that the night would soon return. With the exception of Huang Ren Fu who did not know, should he feel happy when night comes. The secret of Ding Tao's whereabouts in Huang Ying Ying's room would be safer, but it was precisely his sister's safety that would make him sleepless.

Therefore when he saw Ding Tao finish eating, immediately Huang Ren Fu invited the young man to speak, saying,

" Ding Tao, how are you today?"

" It's been pretty good Brother Fu, I thought today I could leave your house"

" Leaving our house?",

Huang Ren Fu insisted, although he did not want Ding Tao to linger in Huang Ying Ying's room, but Ding Tao's words were far beyond his expectations.

Especially for Huang Ying Ying, instead of playing in shock, with a choking voice she asked,

" Sister Ding, are you kidding? Brother's condition has not recovered properly, why would he quickly leave? Does Brother Ding feel hurt in our family?"

" Sister Ying is right Brother Ding, whether your condition has really recovered, if you have not better be patient first",

added Huang Ren Fu who felt relieved as well as worried.

Relieved for his younger brother but worried for Ding Tao, like most of the youngsters who witnessed the match between Ding Tao and the Huang family, the match had aroused admiration and sympathy in his heart.

" Sister Ying, don't think a no-no. Not one iota save the heartache on your family",

said Ding Tao trying to calm Huang Ying Ying's heart.

" Sister Fu, my condition is much better and I don't think getting more rest will make it any better. Moreover, the present situation is not so comfortable for all of us, therefore after thinking about it, I decided to try to get out of your house tonight as well".

Reddening Huang Ying Ying's face hearing Ding Tao's explanation, of course she understood what was meant by the uncomfortable situation, but her heart was still heavy to let go of the young man.

While biting his lips he asked weakly, "But, what about your sword business? Don't you want it back?"

Ding Tao shook his head,

" No, I was thinking about it well last night. In my current state, in what manner would I reclaim the sword? Even if then I manage to steal back the Whispering Wind Sword with your help, it is likely that I will not be able to successfully defend the sword on the outside. It was not impossible that the sword would actually fall into the hands of his minions Ren Zuocan. It was better for the sword to be in Elder Tiong's hands than to fall into their hands".

Shaking his head once again he confirmed,

" No, I've been thinking about it carefully and I don't think I'm going to get involved with the sword for a while".

" Sister Ding, that's very kind of your thinking, but if so what are you going to do with Coach Gu's message for you?", Huang Ren Fu asked.

" The primary teacher's message is to use the provisions I will have to help our martial world stem Ren Zuocan's ambitions and I will do my utmost to fulfill them, with or without the Sword

Whispering Wind. Considering my current state, then the most important thing is to heal the wounds in my body first. Maybe I'll try to go to Shaolin and beg Monk Khongzhe's kindness.",

ding Tao replied in a reasonable voice, without hiding anything.Huang Ren Fu was more and more amazed at the young man, at his calmness and also at the greatness of his heart.

" Sister Ding, I really admire you. If you'd let me call you a friend, I'd be so happy",

huang Ren Fu said sincerely.

Ding Tao's face was flushed with embarrassment, "Brother Fu is too high to praise, of course I'll be happy to be your best friend".

Laughing with laughter Huang Ren Fu moved to jump, in one light leap he had already reached in front of Ding Tao, his hands outstretched offering friendship. Ding Tao was also happy to receive that helping hand. A warm handshake represents feelings in the heart.

" Friend.", said Huang Ren Fu short.

" Friend.", replied Ding Tao no less short.
