Chapter - 189 Master of Taohua Island (5) (2/2)
”Do you dare?” Mei Chaofeng asked with a trembling voice.
”To visit the Peach Blossom Island without Master's permission is a big violation of our school, but after listening to that old man Qiu talking nonsense, my heart was troubled. I want to make sure he is all right. If I don't go, I will be haunted with uncertainty for the rest of my life.”
Before Mei Chaofeng could answer Huang Rong had already said, ”Let us all go together. I will ask his forgiveness on your behalf.”
Mei Chaofeng was silent for a moment. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. ”I don't have a face to see him,” she sadly said. ”Benevolent Master had compassion on a wretched child like me. He took me as his disciple and raised me up. But because of wild ambition I have betrayed him …” Suddenly she lifted her head and shout, ”I only want to seek revenge for my husband. Afterward, I know what to do. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, let us sort out our business now. Martial Brother Lu, Little Martial Sister, you stand aside, don't even think of interfering. No matter who live or who die, I don't want you to help either side. Do you hear?”
Ke Zhen'E walked in big strides to the main hall. His iron staff knocked the brick floor, then clearly he said with his hoarse voice, ”Mei Chaofeng, you can't see me, neither can I see you. That night when we fought on that barren hill, your husband died a violent death, but our fifth brother had also died in your hands. Did you know that?”
”Oh, so only six of you left?” Mei Chaofeng asked.
”We promised Taoist Priest Ma Yu to no longer seek enmity toward you, but it is you that actually looking for us. Good! Even though the world is wide, we always meet each other. Looks like the heaven won't allow the six of us to co-exist with you in this world. Come!” Ke Zhen'E coldly said.
Mei Chaofeng snorted. ”You six people can come together,” she said icily.
Zhu Cong and the other Freaks quickly arranged themselves near their elder brother, guarding against Mei Chaofeng's sudden attack. Everybody unsheathed their weapons.
Suddenly Guo Jing moved forward. ”Let disciple fight her first,” he said.
Lu Chengfeng was in an awkward situation. He heard Mei Chaofeng challenged and the six accepted. He did not know how to be the mediator. He hated himself for not having authority or influence over these people. But hearing Guo Jing an idea suddenly came to his mind. He quickly said, ”Both sides please hold your hands for a moment. Please listen to Little Brother's word. Although Mei Shijie and the Jiangnan Six have deep enmity between you, but each side had suffer an unfortunate loss. In the Little Brother's opinion, no more blood needs to be shed. Let today's match only decides victory or defeat, please don't deepen the enmity anymore. The Six Freaks, although they always face enemy together, still it is six against one; which, in my opinion, is not fair. Why doesn't Mei Shijie teach several moves to this young Brother Guo?”
Mei Chaofeng snorted and coldly said, ”How could I fight an unknown junior?”
”Your husband died in my hands. What does it have to do with my Masters?” Guo Jing called out.
Mei Chaofeng was furious. She jumped and shouted, ”Precisely! I will kill you little scoundrel first!” By listening to voices she knew where her enemy position was. Her five fingers were stretched toward Guo Jing's skull.
Guo Jing leaped to avoid the attack. ”Senior Mei!” he called out. ”I was really young and ignorant. I accidentally killed your husband. One has to be responsible for one's own action. Today you wanted to kill me; I won't run away. But what if you still look for my Masters in the future?” He realized he was no match to Mei Chaofeng and was ready to die under her fingers; but was determined to protect his Masters in any way.
