The Whispering Wind Sword

76. Chapter 76's

The fight between Ding Tao and the pair of jade face demons took quite a lot of time. When Ding Tao reached the residence, the sun was in the middle. Workers who usually look diligent work, are resting and eating their provisions while joking.

When they saw Ding Tao walking towards them, they fell silent. One by one stood up and bowed respectfully towards Ding Tao who was still a few steps away from them. Ding Tao of course became shocked and unwell, he quickly bowed respectfully to them. From childhood he was taught to respect older people. As a servant, of course, no one teaches to discriminate classes, because the class of Ding Tao is the lowest class. That is why even now, everyone older than him will be treated with courtesy. Whether it was a great master or a fellow servant.

Unless faced with an opponent, then who takes over are the stories of the fight in the story of heroism. No matter who the opponent was, whether it was a rich or poor man, a servant or a noble, Ding Tao would not bow down in apology.

" Our uncles, good afternoon, please don't be so sad. Just continue your rest. Is Miss Yun Hua home?", said the young man with a feeling of being completely wrong.

One of them replied, while the others were still standing waiting until Ding Tao passed from that place,

" Young master, it just so happens that Miss Yun Hua and Miss Huolin are inside having lunch. Let me take you there."

" Ah, well, thank you very much uncle", replied Ding Tao politely.

Along the way the two fell silent, Ding Tao went awry because of their overly polite treatment for him, while the ushering did not want to be considered impolite by speaking before being invited to speak. When they finally reached the dining room, Ding Tao breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Once again the two bowed respectfully as the worker who delivered Ding Tao farewell was about to return to rest.

Murong Yun Hua and Murong Huolin were of course very shocked and excited at Ding Tao's arrival, rushing Murong Yun Hua to come greet him.

With a radiant face, Murong Yun Hua unhesitatingly grabbed Ding Tao and pulled him to the dining table, a series of questions were raised, as well,

" Sister Ding, ah, it's great that my heart sees you coming back here again. For a few months you've been anywhere? Why is your body so thin like this? Do you keep practicing? Of course your life for a few months is very hard, now you have to eat a lot2."

A smile spread across Ding Tao's face,

" Enci Yun Hua, you look so beautiful today, it looks like the smell of today's cooking is so delicious, did you cook it Enci Yun Hua?"

" Hey, it's not just me cooking today, Brother Huolin is helping out as well", Murong Yun Hua replied as she filled a bowl with rice and handed it to Ding Tao.

" really? Well apparently now Brother Huolin also interested to see the kitchen, not only play the sword, but the cuisine is safe to eat right?", seductive Ding Tao.Unlike the usual Murong Huolin who is usually ignorant today his tongue is more docile than usual, hearing the temptations of Ding Tao his cheeks met red while shaking his mouth,

" Huh..if you don't like it don't need to be eaten."

Ding Tao and Murong Yun Hua laughed laughingly at Murong Huolin who blushed in embarrassment. I don't know since when Ding Tao felt comfortable being in this family. Maybe it started when he was practicing a match with Murong Huolin or since

Murong Yun Hua listened earnestly to his opinion of their garden. That must have been out of the way of what happened when he said goodbye a few months ago.

Ding Tao felt like he was in his own home.

The atmosphere of lunch so happy, Ding Tao tells about the success of mastering the knowledge in the book lent. Murong Yun Hua greeted the news excitedly, the look in his eyes implying pride for the young man's success. While Murong Huolin increasingly admired Ding Tao.

After the lunch was over, Ding Tao took out the Earth Core Power scripture from his bundle and returned it to Murong Yun Hua.

" Enci Yun Hua, thanks to your book and medicine, I finally managed to free myself from the influence of Boxing 7 Wounds, thank you very much", Ding Tao said as he returned the two.

" Together Brother Ding, how long are you going to stay here?", asked Murong Yun Hua.

" I'm actually planning to start my journey back as soon as possible. The longer I wait, the more unsettled my heart becomes. Did you hear a single piece of news from the martial world?"

Murong Yun Hua's beautiful face became clouded again,

" It has not been long since we have not interfered in the affairs of the martial world. Brother Ding, I can't cover my feelings for you. I'm trying to understand how you are, but it's hard for me…"

The pensive Murong Huolin heard in which direction the conversation was heading, with an indistinct voice saying goodbye out. Ding Tao looked at Murong Huolin's departure, he saw how the girl changed her attitude. His heart felt a little sad because his relationship with the brothers became complicated due to love problems.

Exhaling a long breath Ding Tao tried to lighten the burden on the chest,

" Enci Yun Hua, is Brother Huolin still mad at me? I see his attitude is not as free as usual."

" Anged at you? Why did you think that?", Murong Yun Hua asked back.

An amused and affectionate smile adorned the face of Murong Yun Hua, who was,

" Ah, silly boy, don't you know he's putting his heart on you? This was her first time falling in love, that was why she herself was still confused by her feelings and was being timid. Especially…"

In a slightly sad tone he continued,

"… moreover, Brother Ding already has a heart patch …"

" That.. ah... did Enci Yun hua not get me wrong?", now Ding Tao became even more guilty of these two brothers.

" No, of course not, when you say goodbye to go, he is nowhere to be seen and does not come to take you. You know, he was locked up in a room, crying over your departure. Such was Huolin's nature, laughing loosely if pleased, crying and closing yourself when sad."

Looking at Ding Tao's troubled face, Murong Yun Hua grasped the young man's hand and calmed him down,

" Sister Ding., don't think too much. His age was young, his future still stretched wide. After some time, of course he will accept your situation as it is."

" Yes, Huolin's sister is a very good girl, I hope she meets a decent person and can make her happy…", murong Yun Hua said in no words, just nodding.

For a moment they sat in silence, no matter what thoughts passed through their minds. Ding Tao broke the silence first. His voice was soft almost whispering, though,

" Enci Yun Hua, we have returned, I think it is time I continue the journey..I once again say thank you immeasurably…"

Murong Yun Hua only nodded while biting his lips, his tears were once again spread with a forced smile.

Ding Tao could not bear to see Murong Yun Hua in such a state, he slowly got up to his feet and once again he nodded his farewells.

Murong Yun Hua had already nodded back at Ding Tao's nod, letting go, but suddenly before Ding Tao could move his hand grasping Ding Tao's hand and holding him back.

" Sister Ding.ah. Brother Ding will you answer my question?"

Ding Tao let out a long sigh,

" Of course you ask anything, I'll answer honestly."

" Ding Tao... do you... do you not feel the slightest interest in me? At first I thought, I saw it in your eyes, that's why I threw myself at you, I didn't think…"

" Enci.., yes honestly I am, yes I feel that way, Enci, Enci is an amazingly beautiful and kind woman."

" Would it be, if you hadn't met Huang Ying Ying, would you have loved me?"

Ding Tao couldn't answer, his tongue felt muddy, but he could still nod his head. Seeing the nod of Ding Tao's head Murong Yun Hua smiled for a moment.

" Ding Tao... Tell me honestly, is there a little love for me in your heart?"

The look on Murong Yun Hua's face, remembering the events of the past, how broken Murong Yun Hua's heart was, saw him deep into his own heart and Ding Tao knew what the answer was. Even though he did not understand anymore, what was love? Can a man love more than one woman? If yes, does it still love its name? He knew he wanted this woman before him, more than ever, his body wanted this woman before him.

Ding Tao gulped a few times, with a raucous voice he replied,

" I don't know what love is…"

Murong Yun hua looked deeply into the honest young man's eyes,

" Ding Tao you said you don't know what the word love means anymore, why?"

Ever since he first met Murong Yun Hua, this question had already appeared in his mind. Now Murong Yun Hua asked him, as he was immersed in studying the Earth Core Power, the thought was not recalled, but now by Murong Yun Hua's question, Ding Tao was re-examining his thoughts.

" Enci Yun Hua, people say when in love, there is a sense of happiness when you are with the person you love, there is a pounding in your heart, when not meeting that person you have in mind and so on. According to the tweet is that true?", asked Ding Tao trying to explain how he felt.

" Yes, that's how I felt when I just met Brother Yong and. and .. when I met you", replied Murong Yun Hua blushing in shame.
