At the General's mansion.....
All of the admirers of Miss Hua had assembled and were chattering about her.
One of the man spoke up, "I haven't seen Miss Hua for a while! Where is she?!"
The man beside him whispered, "Shhh! Ask him! He said Miss Hua and him are a thing now!"
He pointed his glare at the handsome man who claimed himself to be with Miss Hua. He was doing his usual thing, practising martial arts.
Acknowledging his glare the man went near to the handsome man, tapped him on the back and questioned him arrogantly, "Where is Miss Hua! Where did she go?!"
The handsome man turned back brushed off his words and confronted, "Why do you care!?"
The man replied as if his intention is being mistreated, "Ofcourse, I care! Our beautiful Miss Hua rarely visits our place, we have to treat her good!"
The handsome young man turned aside and reacted, "Miss Hua doesn't need your care. She is very shy too, don't bother her!"
The other man butted in, "Just tell us where she is?! Is it because you don't want to tell?!! Or You just don't know it at all!?". He then cracks up irritatingly, "Ha....ha....ha...!"
The handsome young man feeling irritated at his word went near to him and grabbed his collar. His blood was boiling. He looked as if he is ready to punch the man anytime soon. Upon seeing his act, all the other men gathered near them.
Seeing his irritated face the man provoked him again, "Eh!!?? You are not going to throw a fit for a woman! Are you?!!"
He then turned to the men who surrounded them and spoke noisily, "You guys be my witness today! I didn't lay a hand on him! Huh!!??"
The handsome man unable to bear his anger anymore raised a fit, ready to give that noisy man a punch.
Just then Yutao came by with his two henchmen dragging out Bojing with his hands tied down tightly!
Upon seeing the commotion, he questioned them, "What's going on?!"
The two man quickly withdrew their fight, hid their hands and acted good.
The handsome man faked a smile and put his arm around the man's shoulder and responded, "Ah!! We are just testing our skills! A combat it is!! He...he....he!"
The other man quickly imitated him, "Ha..ha...yes! It's good to practice combats among us brothers. Isn't it?" He then quickly gave a hard slap on the handsome man's back.
The Handsome man feeling annoyed, he gave a quick returned slap on the man's back and spoke, "Ha..ha….yes!"
The man bearing the pain faked a smile. He then turned to Yutao and asked, "Master! Where is Miss Hua, we haven't seen her for a while!?"
Yutao responded poker-faced, "My sister has went back home. She won't be coming back again." He then turned to the handsome man and spoke, "My sister has left you with this hairpin wishing that it may fall to its rightful owner!"
Yutao handed him his hairpin back to man. The handsome man took back the hairpin with a dark and sullen face. His happy face immediately fades away. He was broken-hearted to think that he won't ever be able to see Miss Hua again.
Besides him, all the other troops were feeling disheartened upon Miss Hua leaving without a prior notice.
The crowd soon disappeared. The man who was fighting with the handsome man spoke up downhearted, "We were fighting for nothing! Miss.Hua is gone!!"
The handsome man teared up holding the hairpin. He then hugged the man tightly and cried out, "Miss Huaa….aaaa..aa...…...Miss Huaaa….aaa...aaa….aaaaa!"
The man hugged him back and consoled him, "Brace yourself! Young man! If Miss Hua has left on her own, then let her go.....! She wasn't meant for you!"
Yutao and his men along with Bojing with his hands all tied up then left the scene.
They rode their carts and went towards the Shanjin's city river bank. The sun was going down slowly. It was the time of twilight when they left. Soon after, the sunlights completely vanished and the moon slowly appeared. People at Shanjin were lighting up their houses as it became dark. Yutao and his men had reached the river bank. Yutao slowly climbed down from the cart. His two henchmen then dragged out Bojing.
They walked towards the spot where Bojing did his usual exchange. Upon reaching there ,Yutao released the rope that tied Bojing and warned him, "Don't you dare try anything stupid! Remember your life is at our hand!"
After letting him know their intentions, Yutao released him. Bojing smirked at his words with an uncanny glare and headed near the river bank. He waited there for the Eagle bandit.
Yutao and his two henchmen went towards a bush and hid there. They kept their weapons ready incase anything bad happened. They waited and waited for the Eagle's bandit arrival. After a short while, he came rowing the wooden boat. Yutao and his men were on alert upon seeing him.
The man stopped his boat at the river bank. He then came out carrying a wooden box and handed it to Bojing. Bojing upon seeing his unfamiliar face, he felt curious and asked him, "You! Who are you?! Who gave you this?!"
The man replied calmly, "Ah! I am just a fisherman! A man wearing an all black clothes gave me this and told me to hand it to you! He gave me taels for it! He also told me to leave you a few words, he said, he cannot provide you with the celestial flower anymore that this will be the end of your exchange! He also says that their debt ends here! Since he has handed you the celestial flower!"
The man then concluded, "Since I have handed you the box and delivered the words. My task ends here. I will now head back to my place!"
Bojing feeling confused and speechless tried to stopped the man, "Eh....!? Eh....!? Wait.....!?"
The fisherman without listening to his words rowed his boat and left the spot.
Yutao and his men looked at each other and came to the scene.
Bojing looked at Yutao plainly and spoke, "He left! The bandit didn't come!"
Yutao took the wooden box from him and opened it to see. He gasped upon seeing it and spoke in astonishment, "This is the real celestial flower!"
The celestial flower was pure white in colour and was in the shape of a lotus flower blooming brightly. It was emitting white light from its petals. The sweet smell of the flower was overflowing in the air.
His henchmen went near to Yutao to see the celestial flower. They were all in awe at the looks of it.
One of his henchmen spoke, "So...this is what the celestial flower looks like!"
Yutao replied, "Yes. This is the flower" . Yutao then further continued, "It is said that this celestial flower only blooms at the divine Yu Shan Mountain. This Yu Shan Mountain holds a divine aura in it. Therefore no ordinary person can enter the Yu Shan Mountain. A person who can enter the Yu Shan Mountain must either be a person whose cultivation is at the Master level or he must be the Master himself!"
Yutao's henchmen added, "Then you mean to say that the Eagle bandit is in acquaintance with someone whose cultivation is at the Master level!?"
Yutao nodded his head and replied, "Exactly!"
"Between that what shall we do with him? Master!??" The henchmen pointed his glare towards Bojing.
Bojing wasn't able to ignore his rude behaviour, he pointed his hands towards him and spoke up, "Hey! Don't you dare show your rude attitude towards me. I have proven my innocence just now!"
The henchmen looked at Yutao and spoke, "Master, Can I just beat him?!!"
Yutao stopped him and ordered, "Let him be!"
The three of them then left Bojing alone and headed for the carriage.
Upon seeing their rude behaviour, Bojing blurted out, "Eh??!! Eh??!!! Don't you dare leave me alone in this dark! Take me to my home!!"
Yutao waved his hand without turning back and spoke, "We are heading to the General's Mansion! Do you want to visit there again!??!!"
Bojing tempted by his tricks he sighed and walked all the way towards his house. It seems that the mighty and proud, Bojing will have to take a long and pitiful journey on his way to his house!
