Part 3
Leng Kok Hosiang and three of his friends then stormed into the cave and found a chest containing treasure. They then distributed it among the four of them. With a mocking smile, Leng Kok Hosiang approached Kim-gan-liong Cin Lu Ek.
“Because you have come with us here, it’s your right to receive a little part of this treasure. So go home and bring your share and live restfully and peacefully!”
But Kim-gan-liong shook his head and said firmly, “No, I’m not willing to touch this dirty treasure!”
“Ha ha ha! Kim-gan-liong’s pretending to be a holy man. Can you free yourself from this murder? You came with us, and Ong Han Cu has seen you come with our group. Five of us are the ones who responsible for this murder. Do you think you can just free yourself? Or, it seems like this little-hearted person is afraid of the coming of Pat-jiu kiam-ong’s retaliation?”
“No, I’m not afraid of it!” Cin Lu Ek replied angrily. “I deserve to be avenged and killed. I, who claims to be a kang-ouw, am powerless to see this cruelty happened without being able to prevent it at all. It should be worth for me to be killed … worth to be avenged … I sinned against Pat-jiu kiam-ong!”
Laughing the four men mocked him so that Kim-gang-liong Cin Lu Ek then turned around and ran away from the place.
The final decision she tookHearing the narrative of Kim-gan-liong Cin Lu Ek who looked very sad, Hwe-thian Moli became confused not knowing what to do.
“So, little lady, the real thing happened where I was involved in the affairs causing the death of your suhu. However, never think that I told this to defend myself for fear of your revenge. No! However, I feel that I have sinned by the death of your suhu as well. If I have a little bit courage, of course at that time I could help your suhu. I’d been persuaded by them and joined the evil group. So if you consider me as one of big enemies of your suhu, I let you take revenge. I won’t back off even one step to face the sentence that I deserve. I tell you all this to prevent you to fight Tek Kun!”
Hwe-thian Moli frowned and thought hard. Should she release this enemy after she painstakingly searching for and finally being able to meet him? No! At least she still had to give lessons to this person, not because of his crime. But because of his weakness and pride, he had dared to clash his skill with her late suhu’s, and coming with the evil party.
“So come out and pull your sword!” She challenged as jumping out.
With a very calm manner, Kim-gan-liong Cin Lu Ek then walked out and pulled out his sword, ready to wait for any attacks.
“Susiok, don’t ……!” Sim Tek Kun exclaimed, but he didn’t hear it. “Hwe-thian Moli, don’t push this old man!” He also told the girl, but Siang Lan only let out a mocking smile. With lightning speed her sword slid and made the first attack on Kim-gan-liong.
A fierce but brave, fair enough little ladyThis old man then parried and from this clash of swords he knew that this young girl had truly inherited Pat-jiu kiam-ong’s skills so that he secretly became very impressed. He then exerted all his skills, and the two persons fought violently.
However, just having fought for thirty stances, it was obvious how she pushed Kim-gan-liong so badly so that he could not retaliate, just defended himself.
“Hold it, little lady, don’t you kill innocent people!” Exclaimed Sim Tek Kun as he lunged forward with his sword. But it was too late, as the sword in the hand of Hwe-thian Moli had moved with a trick-motion of Crow Snatching Worm. Kim-gan-liong exclaimed loudly, the sword in his hand released from his right hand and his shoulder covered in blood as it the tip of Hwe-thian Moli’s sword pierced it.
Siang Lan held her sword and said coolly. “Because you didn’t come to kill suhu and just went along with the evil herd, so let me spare your life!” Then, she looked at Tek Kun and said with a sarcastic smile. “And you! If you feel curious as I’ve hurt your susiok, anytime you can find me to avenge!”
After saying that, with a single flash the girl’s body disappeared into the darkness of the night. Tek Kun stood up and shook his head, then helped his susiok whose shoulder got injured. It turned out that the wound was only a wound in the skin and flesh, not dangerous at all, even though it drained a lot of blood.
“How fierce that girl is!” Tek Kun grumbled.
“But she’s brave and fair enough. Her swordsman-stance is as great as her suhu’s!” Kim-gan-liong said and his voice now changed as if a large stone suppressed over her heart had been lifted.
Her lips always whispered this name“My mistakes have been paid back, satisfied my heart now!”
After bandaging and taking care of his susiok, the next day Tek Kun then said goodbye and said to the old man. “Teecu saw Ngo-lian-hengte and Bong Te Sianjin in this city.”
“They of course will do something bad. You need to investigate the situation.” Kim-gan-liong said, he could not hold his nephew-disciple because he knew how fierce the behavior of Ngo-lian-hengte, five chiefs of Ngo-lian-kauw, would be. Especially Bong Te Sianjin who became their supek (uncle-master). The old ascetic always defended and helped the development of Ngo-lian-kauw.
As for Hwe-thian Moli after leaving Kim-gan-liong’s home and returning to her room in the hotel, then laying down on the bed and remembering all those events with a satisfied heart. She had given lessons to Kim-gan-liong so with that action she had succeeded in avenging the curiosity of her suhu as well as clearing his name. But strangely, the image of the handsome young man’s face always disturbed in these memories. Sim Tek Kun! Her lips always whispered this name.
No time to be silent in his shadows“Insolent!” Said Hwe-thian Moli because she was disturbed and she tried her best to drive this shadow out of her memory. But the more expelled, the clearer the face of the young man became and the more it could not be forgotten. The witty eyes, the radiant smile, ah … Hwe-thian Moli complained and considered herself crazy.
A mighty, steel-hearted girl who was not afraid to face any opponents, unconsciously had been mocked by an immense influence which its power could toy any human-beings. No matter he was an ordinary person, a poor peasant, a tycoon, a nobleman, or even a mighty warrior, it could still toy them just like the current Hwe-thian Moli. And it was none other than Love.
Her hard heart felt dissatisfied and anxious about her own weaknesses. And she also felt very surprised why the shadow of the young man who she had not known could make her almost unable to close her eyes all night long.
With her still-sullen heart, early in the morning she had risen from her sleep, sat down to meditate to gather energy and enthusiasm, then she dressed up. Early in the morning she had settled the payment of her hotel room and went carrying her bundle to the west of the city. He wanted to go to the temple in the west of the city to fulfill her promise to Ngo-lian-hengte who challenged her.
