The Whispering Wind Sword

94. Chapter 94's

Physician Shao Yong fell silent, looking at Ding Tao's face long ago. His tongue feels ugly. With a heavy heart he exerted his strength to answer short,

" …has died."

Short what Physician Shao Yong said, but big consequences. Before arriving at the place where Physician Shao Yong had hidden himself, Ding Tao had already met and asked the same to every remaining member of the Huang family he had met. As Ding Tao asked, inevitably, those who followed him along pounded waiting for an answer.

It is hard to imagine, how it feels, in a day having to repeatedly ask one question that makes frozen feeling every time waiting for his answer. When the answer was finally heard, what they heard was precisely the answer he feared the most. Everyone was silent, everyone felt, there was a desire to comfort Ding Tao, but their tongues became muddy when they saw the pain emanating from the young man's face.

The pain of Ding Tao's feelings could not be imagined by anyone at that time. It's not just the pain of losing the girl he loves. Ding Tao was also pursued with guilt, imagined when he was with Murong Yun Hua, when Huang Ying Ying and his family faced disaster, he was having fun, betraying his loyal promise. No one knew about it, except Ding Tao himself.

The wind blew away the dust, swirling among the deserted streets. In the courtyard a dozen men stood dumbstruck, frozen with their own feelings. Ding Tao's face implied unspeakable suffering, Liu Chun Cao, Wang Xiaho and Physician Shao Yong were unable to bring out words to comfort the young man's heart.

Every one of them thought about the faithfulness of this young man's heart and how deep his love for Huang Ying Ying was. At first glance Ding Tao could catch what was implied from the sight of their eyes, and his grievous heart grew even more poignant, for he was not a truly loyal lover. His heart was already double, wanting him to shout admitting to what he had done. But it wasn't until her heart if she had to ruin Murong Yun Hua's name just to make her heart a little more relieved.

A bitter smile flourished on his face, perhaps this was the punishment he had to shoulder, for the betrayal he had committed to Huang Ying Ying. Now, for the rest of his life he will continue to bear the burden of this sin in his heart.

Ding Tao bit his lips firmly, holding back the tears that were about to spill. He closed his eyes and set his breath. His angry feelings pressed him strongly.

Slowly Ding Tao opened his eyes and asked, "Shib Shao Yong, can you tell me what happened?"

Physician Shao Yong fell silent, hesitating as to whether or not he should tell. Liu Chun Cao then said, "Shepherd Shao, it is better to tell, what the Physician has seen. Let Ding Tao judge for himself. Whether the fate of young Miss Huang is certain or not, based on the story of Physician Shao."

Liu Chun Cao argued, this is the final test for Ding Tao, since Wang Xiaho had managed to convince himself, Liu Chun Cao placed great hopes on Ding Tao. But this was a thrilling time for Liu Chun Cao, the final test for Ding Tao, to be supported as a Wuling Mengzhu. Because as a leader, it is not only necessary for people who feel smooth, so they can sympathize with those who lead, but there are times when a leader must show his determination. If a leader is only played with feelings, without having the determination to make a decision, then mess up the line.

Physician Shao Yong looked at Ding Tao, then turned to look at Liu Chun Cao and Wang Xiaho. The two people he had not known, but he saw were quite familiar and noticed Ding Tao's state. Liu Chun Cao once again nodded his head, prompting Physician Shao to tell him what he had seen.

Finally in a hoarse voice, choked by grief, Physician Shao began to tell stories.

That day no one in the Huang family realized the danger was lurking in their family.

The shock brought about by Tiong Fa's betrayal had already begun to fade. The activity continues as usual.

By nightfall, guard had not been as tight as a few weeks before. Physician Shao Yong was just about to rest when a scream began to sound followed by an alarm bell being hit. Since then, the chaos has escalated rapidly. Apparently the opponent had already entered into the Huang family residence through a secret passage. A secret path that should only be known by important people in the Huang family.

Quietly, these assassins spread out and began to paralyze the guards. When there were guards who managed to fight before being killed and had time to shout to remind the other guards, the opponents had already managed to spread throughout the entire Huang family residence.

One of them was led by Tiong Fa.

" Tiong Fa? Physician Shao are you sure Tiong Fa was the one who participated in the attack that night?", asked Ding Tao with a dark face and a furious tone inserted in his question. Physician Shao Yong's hair threshed, hearing Ding Tao's tone of voice. It had been a dozen years that he had known the young man, since he was a child until he was an adult, had never before Physician Shao Yong heard anger in his tone.

Gulping the old healer's saliva nodded, "Yes, I was hiding near the main building of the Huang family. Near the building where the great Lord Huang Jin rests with his family."

" When I heard there was an attack, I wanted to go as far as possible to the Great Lord Huang Jin, see if there was anything I should do there as a healer of the Huang family. While hiding I slowly searched for a way. I was passing near the room of young Miss Huang Ying Ying, hiding in the garden, in front of her room", continued Physician Shao Yong.

For a moment Physician Shao Yong was silent, his hands were trembling slightly, remembered by the events of that night.

" And I saw. Tiong Fa came out of the room of young master Huang Ren Fu not far away, holding a sword covered in blood. Then came a masked figure who asked Tiong Fa", continued Physician Shao Yong while closing his eyes.

The masked man had a large tall body, his long thick hair unraveled without being tied up. His voice was heavy thundering as he asked Tiong Fa.

" Have you killed Huang Jin's children who are your part?", asked the man.

" Already, except the firstborn I can't find in his room" replied Tiong Fa.

" Hmph, his eldest son was fighting with some of his men, facing the first leader. You finish your work here. I'll go help them" said the man.

Then with a quick movement and long footsteps, the person left the place, heading to where the sounds of the fight were going fiercely.

A moment later Tiong Fa and his men burned down the main building." I. I. do not dare to move from where I hide. A long time after they left, I dared to go out. I went to unload the remaining debris from each room I found burnt bodies.", Physician Shao Yong said in a choking voice, tears streaming down his eyes.

" I'm sorry Ding Tao. I don't have the courage. Only after they left did I venture out. They were all already charred in flames.", with the shrill voice of the Old Physician falling down in front of Ding Tao, his tears were flowing unstoppably again. Ding Tao knelt down next to him, patting the shoulder of Physician Shao Yong, without taking out a word.

What do words of comfort mean, when sorrow comes, when the heart is filled with burdens? Dozens of unyielding adult men shed tears, but this time, their throats were choked, wanting to cry, along with the sadness that was there, she said, although their eyes remained dry and looked at their eyes cold without implying any feeling.

For a long time they were silent and only a sobbing of Physician Shao Yong lamented his incompetence. Of course, none of them blamed the physician.

Physician Shao Yong is not a martialist, Physician Shao Yong is a healer. Unlike the God Physician who besides being good at medicine, experts are also in silat.
