Part 5
Of course this attitude surprised Tek Kun and Lian Hong. “Enci Siang Lan ……!” Lian Hong admonished.
“You also want to defend him? Now, come together, I’m Hwe-thian Moli is a cruel, evil, demonic girl! Don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
The more amazed Tek Kun now seeing Siang Lan spilt her anger even on him and on Hwe-thian Sianli as well. He sighed and said slowly. “Uh, well, I’ve taken a presumptuous attitude. Let me just leave …” This young man then left from there with a furious nod.
“Enci Siang Lan, why are you acting like that towards him? Why do you seem angry with me as well?” Lian Hong then advanced and embraced Hwe-thian Moli. Just then Siang Lan realized of her completely improper attitude, and without realizing it, two tears flowed down her cheeks.
“Lian Hong, our enemies have been exterminated …… You … say honestly. Do you … do you love Kun-lun Siauwhiap …… ??" The question she had never thought of made Lian Hong’s face turned red. She looked blankly, then after taking a deep breath many times she also replied, “Why do you ask this strange question, enci?”
“He loves you, but how about you?” She said in a trembling voice. “I’ve overheard and lurked that night.”
“I … I’ve no right to talk about it as for you to know that some else have proposed me!”
******After saying that, cried Lian Hong. Now Siang Lan became busy and amazed. She didn’t understand why Lian Hong cried so sadly. She didn’t know that her words accusing this girl of loving and being loved by Tek Kun, were a sword that stabbed the girl’s heart. Like being reminded of something that she didn’t like as hearing Hwe-thian Moli’s sayings. She remembered that a prince’s son she’d never seen before proposed her. And now she had to secretly admit that Kun-lun Siauwhiap was very interesting her heart.
As she was very jealous and uncomfortable before, now Hwe-thian Moli felt sorry for seeing Lian Hong. She could guess that this girl must have been betrothed to someone she didn’t like, so while hugging she entertained the girl. “Nice little sister, why is a dashing girl like you obeying other person’s will, betrothed to another man.”
“Enci Siang Lan, let’s not talk about this unimportant thing. Let’s come with me, meet my mom. Wouldn’t you like to meet the wife of your suhu?”
Siang Lan didn’t disagree and the two then left the place. They didn’t know that Kun-lun Siauwhiap, as leaving from there, went into the forest and met Ouwyang Sianjin who was fighting the seven Pek-lian-kauw’s leaders, with several officers assisting him. It turned out that the seven Pek-lian-kauw people were very tough and hard to beat.
Tek Kun was the son of a prince, so seeing how the royal officers fought against the Pek-lian-kauw’s tosu, he continued to invade and help. The arrival of Tek Kun benefited Ouwyang Sianjin’s side. They were finally able to demolish, capture and herd the seven Pek-lian-kauw people.
******Ciok-taijin’s and wife greeted Siang Lan with quite hospitality. Especially Ciok Bwe Kim, Lian Hong’s mother, welcomed her with a touched hug. Just now Siang Lan knew that her suhu had become the husband of a noble princess. The two girls then spoke with great enthusiasm in Lian Hong’s room. This girl told everything to Hwe-thian Moli about the condition between her mother and father, about her suhu Ouwyang Sianjin, and about her engagement as well.
Siang Lan was an orphan. So now after meeting Lian Hong, she felt so dear and considered Lian Hong as her own sister. As hearing about Lian Hong’s engagement that made the girl sad and disappointed, she asked.
“My dear little sister, why do you hate your fiance so much? How could people express hatred before meeting the person?” This question contained temptations but the usual cheerful Lian Hong was just grim on her face.
“Of course you understand, enci Lan. A girl with martial arts education like me would certainly feel disappointed if one day becomes a mate of a husband whose his skill’s below my level. I did hear that my fiance was also good at martial arts, but … uh, I can already imagine the condition of a rich and spoiled prince’s son. How can a noble’s son have high skills?”
******Suddenly Siang Lan remembered something and asked him passionately. “Eh, you haven’t told me, who is your fiance?”
With lips mocking Lian Hong replied, “A noble, wealthy, useless young man. He is the son of Prince Sim Liok Ong and his name is Sim Tek Kun and ……"
“Oh … he …?” Suddenly Siang Lan looked at her paled, so Lian Hong was shocked.
“What is it, enci Lan? Do you know him?”
Suddenly Siang Lan laughed, making Lian Hong even more amazed. “Eh, enci Lan, why are you … why are you laughing at me?! What’s so funny?”
