The Whispering Wind Sword

52. Chapter 52's

But that brief one carries a thousand meanings, much deeper than a ceremony binding the oath of allegiance as a brother. Huang Ying Ying naturally felt happy about it. One was the young man he loved, the other was the older brother he cared about. Seeing them so familiar, his heart became comforted.

He complains too, complaining,

" Huuh.. boy base, meet friends, forget about your own brother".

Ding Tao and Huang Ren Fu laughed at Huang Ying Ying's grievances.

Suddenly the girl whispered,

" Shhhhh.. somebody wants to go through".

Huang Ren Fu quickly returned to his seat, pretending to be thinking of defeating his sister in a game of chess. Ding Tao quickly closed back the closet door. Waiting until they are safe, they talk again.

" Sister Ding, are you really sure of your decision to leave our house tonight?

As Brother Ying said, if the decision is not to be driven by heartache, do not worry too much about your current situation that is forced to hide in Sister Ying's room. Because I thought, I have found a way to move you from this room to my room" Huang Ren Fu said.

Hearing that Ding Tao so thought for a moment, indeed the main reason of his decision to come out that night as well, was to guard the honor of the girl he loved.

With a thumping heart, Huang Ying Ying waited for an answer from Ding Tao.

A moment later Ding Tao held his head up and replied,

" Yes, I've thought carefully, it feels like the best decision, if people have finished checking all over the city, it's the best decision, of course they will rethink and realize that the greatest possibility is that I am still hiding here. At that time, getting away will be even more difficult".

" Hemm..really also your thinking, the longer you are here the more dangerous you are", murmured Huang Ren Fu.

Huang Ying Ying sighed sadly, aware that the reason Ding Tao was strong enough, this girl could no longer hold Ding Tao back any longer. A farewell to Ding Tao would grieve his heart, but he did not want Ding Tao to be threatened with danger just to please him.

" Sister Ding, if so, I will prepare provisions for you.",

while rising to his feet and hiding those eyes that were beginning to wet, Huang Ying Ying quickly left the room.

Look at Huang Ren Fu and Ding Tao's eyes following the girl's departure. Huang Ren Fu sighed, he was aware of Huang Ying Ying s feelings towards Ding Tao. He stood up to leave the room,

" Sister Ding I will also try to prepare for your departure, will try to arrange a guard around this house, so that there is a gap for you to get out".

" Thank you, and if Brother Fu has a way to move me secretly to your room, I think it's best if I try to escape from there".

Nodding, without turning to the closet that was closed again, Huang Ren Fu asserted,

" Of course, soon I'll be back to tell you, about it, it's best done through the night anyway".

The room was back, in the closet Ding Tao himself who with a pounding heart, waiting for the night to arrive.

The decision had been made with unanimous determination, but his heart was pounding, whether he would make it through or die at the tip of the sword. If he had to die tonight, how curious he would be, the task of his teacher had not yet been completed. In life too he felt he had not done anything meaningful, if to die how futile he was born.

Several times Huang Ying Ying returned to her room, but did not linger there, just to leave some food and some messages from Huang Ren Fu to Ding Tao.

Ding Tao used the time at hand, to submerge himself in deep-energy training. There was nothing else he could do now, except wait, and Ding Tao was not a person who liked to waste time in vain.

It was only after the sun had sunk and the Huang family's residence was only illuminated by the lights installed that Huang Ying Ying returned to his room. Long before he ventured to talk to Ding Tao.

" Sister Ding, is big brother ready?".

Slowly the closet door opened, Ding Tao had been preparing since earlier. His already strengthened heart now felt heavy, as Huang Ying Ying was before him. His tongue was confused, not knowing what to say. The girl's face looked so sad, that Ding Tao just wanted to cry.

Looking at Ding Tao, Huang Ying Ying tried to smile despite being bitter in heart,

" Sister Ding, be careful".

Ding Tao could only nod, unable to say anything.

In accordance with Huang Ren Fu's message, Ding Tao will move from Huang Ying Ying's room to Huang Ren Fu's room through the ceiling of the house, to the room of Huang Ren Fu, the two rooms are still connected through the same ceiling. Ding Tao lightly jumped onto the top of Huang Ying Ying's wardrobe, and from there he opened one of the boards.

The moment Huang Ying Ying saw him disappear, powerless to hold him back cried out stifledly,

" Sister Ding…"

Hearing Huang Ying Ying's call, Ding Tao looked back down. His heart grew heavier to leave Huang Ying Ying alone.

"Sister Ying.., I have to go" she said sadly.

Huang Ying Ying nodded with wet eyes,

"Yes I know.., Brother Ding, don't forget, I will always wait for you".

Ding Tao nodded, unable to bear the cries, Huang Ying Ying pushed the young man to leave immediately with a forced smile, saying,

" Go quickly. Brother Fu is waiting for you".

That time Ding Tao really left, once again he disappeared into the dark hole, the board was shifted back into place. The tears that had been held back, finally poured out as well. Up there, Ding Tao still had time to hear Huang Ying Ying's sobbing, but the young man hardened his heart and continued walking.

It was not difficult to find Huang Ren Fu's room, because Huang Ren Fu had already first shifted one of his room's ceiling cover boards. From the darkness where Ding Tao was, the hole seemed so conspicuous.

Arriving at the hole Ding Tao loosened his head, Huang Ren Fu was already waiting there.

" Sister Ding, it's safe, come down quickly".

Without much noise, Ding Tao jumped down lightly. There were not many words spoken between them, a bundle of clothes, some money and a sword had been prepared.

" Brother Ding, the news of you and the Whispering Wind Sword has already begun to spread in the martial world, as much as possible you should travel in disguise. This is a little money, you can use it to rent a stretcher or other purposes. Tomorrow morning, me and some people will go to the east gate of the city. Do not be late there, if there are people from the Huang family or martial world people who try to wait for you there, we will distract them".

" Brother Fu, thank you very much", Ding Tao said in a choked voice from haru.

While patting Ding Tao on the shoulder, Huang Ren Fu replied,

" You don't have much to think about, just one of my questions, if one day our family does something wrong to you. May you not forget, here are those who have sincerely tried to help you".

" Of course, debt must be avenged, regardless, you are my best friend. Had there been an incident of me clashing with your family, given our friendship, as much as possible I would have relented".

ding Tao replied sincerely.

There was not much more to say, a moment later Ding Tao had already vanished in the dark of the night. In his message this afternoon Huang Ren Fu had explained the safe streets to go out of the Huang family residence.

It was not difficult to arrange it together with them, who tied the oath to defend the Huang family from the cunning Tiong Fa.

In the darkness of the night, Ding Tao managed to get out of the Huang family residence without much interference.

The next day, as Huang Ren Fu had promised along with several others went to the east gate of the city. Huang Ren Fu could not see Ding Tao was there, but after a long wait, Huang Ren Fu decided to start a small riot. A mock fight, between Huang Ren Fu and his group, against some of them in disguise.

Until the end of the skit fight was over, Huang Ren Fu and his friends did not see Ding Tao coming out of the city gate. They could only hope that the commotion was enough to attract attention, and give Ding Tao the opportunity to get out of the city safely, without anyone succeeding in recognizing him.

In fact, Ding Tao may be an innocent man, but he is not a fool.

Ding Tao disguised himself by wearing a long robe and a bundle of clothes tucked behind it, then walked in half crouching. A woven hat, covering his face. To the one who saw, he looked like a fat and short man, with a slightly extended robe. One of the most prominent features of Ding Tao is his above average height. With that little disguise, Ding Tao managed to trick the people who were trying to look for him.

Walking in such a way was certainly very tiring, as soon as it passed through the city gate and was in a place far from the sight of people, the young man unwinded, sitting leaning against a large tree.

Gazing long into the city, Ding Tao reminisced about the Huang family's kindness to him. In his heart he hoped, one day he could return there with his head held high. Yes, someday, after the task entrusted by his teacher is completed.
