Part 2
She then collected her energy and was nimble bird-like, she used a jumping-motion of Swallow Blow up the Cloud and then jumped on the tile. She exerted all her skill and ginkang to keep her legs from making sounds.
However, when she just stepped on the tile, she was surprised hearing the loud voice said, “Susiok, there is someone upon the tile!”
“Just leave it,” he replied calmly, “My door isn’t locked, my tile’s also thin and easy to be opened. Friend who is outside, I know you can easily enter. If you really have a need with me, just come and enter through the front door!”
As person inside the house already knew of her arrival, indicating that knowledge skill of the man whose his loud voice was high enough, Siang Lan then exclaimed loudly, “Kim-liong, if you are truly a man, so go out to pay your debt to Pat-jiu kiam-ong! Me, Hwe-thian Moli is waiting outside. I’m not willing to act like a thief entering a house, neither through doors nor tiles without being invited!” After saying that, Siang Lan then jumped down and stood proudly in front of the front door of the house.
Shortly thereafter, the door opened, from inside two men came out. The one in front was a tall, thin man about fifty years old, a long beard and very simple white clothes. This person was normal, only his eyes were really very influential, emitting a fiery light. If he was the person whose nicknamed was The Golden-Eyed Dragon, it meant that it was right.
The second person was a young man who strangely managed to force her a pair eyes to look at him, then threw her gaze with embarrassment. Never in Siang Lan’s life felt interested in staring at a young man’s face and even there had never been yet a young man who could make her heart beating so fast than usual like now. But this young man really made her confused and for a moment she could not speak.
This young man was wearing clothes like an educated young man, his clothes were very neat but not luxurious. His body was well-built and his chest was broad, indicating that the body contained very strong power. His head was covered with a cloth-head wrapped around carelessly but made his face more attractive. A pair of thick black eyebrows in machete-shaped were suitable with his pair of wide, radiant eyes. His nose was sharp and straight, matched to his good-shaped lips, describing violence and stoutness. His chin was slightly curved in the middle, making him the age of at least twenty-two years seemed more mature. Clean white face with reddish cheeks signed health.
In short, rarely was Siang Lan meeting with such a brave, handsome young man. However she tried to avoid her eye gazing at the handsome young man, but a few times her eyes still glanced at the face that penetrated into her heart.
Because she had not yet been able to speak, finally Cin Lu Ek preceded by raising both arms and reprimanding, “Miss, were the one who introduced herself as Hwe-thian Moli?”
“That’s right!” Siang Lan replied coldly and briefly without replying to other-one’s respect, “Are you the one named Cin Lu Ek and who had cowardly killed my suhu?”
Kim-liong Cin Lu Ek looked sharply and said with a face of sorrow, “So you turn out to be Pat-jiu kiam-ong’s disciple? After you come, isn’t the purpose of your arrival going to take revenge for the death of your suhu?”
Siang Lan pulled out her sword and exclaimed loudly, “Of course! The evil dogs such as Yap Cin, Siong Tat, and Liok Kong are dead, now you and Leng Kok Hosiang are left. If my arrival is not to kill you and prosecute interest, do you think I come to have a friendly meeting with you?”
But strangely, unlike other enemies, Kim-gan-liong Cin Lu Ek was not afraid nor angry, even smiled calmly, “Do you want to take revenge? Want to kill me? Now, go ahead and quickly do that. I’m already tired of living!”
For a moment Siang Lan hesitated. How could she kill people who behave like that, the one who didn’t want to fight even one bit? However, he was still her great enemy. He was one of five people who had killed her suhu fraudulently and cowardly. If he’s not quickly killed, she waited till when?
“Then, be ready to follow suhu and make calculations in the hereafter!” she exclaimed and with the motion of Kwan-im hoan-hwa (Goddess of Kwan-im Looking for Flowers) her sword pierced into Cin Lu Ek’s left chest. The old man stared unawares, smiling sadly.
“Craaank …!” Siang Lan’s sword bounced back and this little lady surprisedly jumped back then prepared with angry eyes. It turned out that her sword had been deflected by the young man who was now holding a sword as well.
“Insolent!” cried Siang Lan with a red face, “Who are you? What do you mean blocking my attack?”
The young man just smiled and Cin Lu Ek replied, “Hwe-thian Moli, this is my niece disciple named Sim Tek Kun.”
“What is my concern with his name? I don’t want to know other people’s names!" said Siang Lan angrily, but this Sim Tek Kun’s name unconsciously had been engraved in her heart, "I repeat my question once again, why are you blocking my attack on my great enemy?"
“It’s not good for a girl to be so vicious,” finally the young man replied calmly and his smile still hadn’t left from his mouth, “I want to prevent you from getting lost and killing people who don’t fight you.”
“Arrogant, presumptuous man! What is your concern with my business? What does the connection of all of my actions with you?
“No, dear to a mighty girl like you to get lost and killed an old man who doesn’t want to fight.”
Siang Lan became more angry and almost attacked the young man. But she could still hold her hand and only a pair of her eyes looked angry as if willing to burn the young man.
“Eh, what kind of person are you? Why are you interfering in my business? Whether I am lost or not, do you care what?” she snapped.
“I did this to pay back your suhu’s deed for you,” replied Sim Tek Kun calmly and this answer made Siang Lan wide-eyed.
“What do you mean?”
“My susiok has sinned against your suhu, and sins can only be redeemed by good deeds. I prevented you, as disciple of your suhu, from doing wrong. And I did this to pay back the deeds of your suhu who was killed by Susiok and his friends. This is what I mean by paying back your suhu’s deeds.”
Confused Siang Lan hearing this saying.
“If I continue to attack and kill him?” she challenged.
“Then I’ll block it with my sword!” replied the young man.
Siang Lan smiled contemptuously, “Hm, what a great guile of yours ia, pretending to pay back the deeds. If you were killed by me, wouldn’t you not be able to pay back the deeds even I’m considered to be misguided by you for more.”
“Wrong!” replied the young man earnestly, “If I die in your hands, my death is a natural death, die in a battle. It’s different if you kill Susiok who doesn’t want to fight, it’s a very low, improper action done by a mighty girl like you.”
