While avoiding the crime, Yong Taihua continued to escape, panting heavily. He ran and ran until he couldn't run. He fell to the ground, covering his eyes with his right hand. He felt tears falling from the corners of his eyes. He sobbed and whispered, "Dandan, I'm sorry…"
Then he heard Chen Dandan's voice "Yong gege, don't be sad anymore." He suddenly got up and met with the morning sunrise. The red sky brings him back to the day when he was dissatisfied with the martial artists who badmouthed Mu Dishi. He was sitting next to Chen Dandan, next to Yong Ho's grave. He remembered when he held Chen Dandan in his arms, and remembered her words, 'I will love you like Ma ge love Mu ge'. He buried his face on his knees, "Dandan, I'm sorry..."
From a distance, Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu saw Yong Taihua sitting on the grass, burying his head on his knees.
Bazar Batu looked at Kuo Lok, "Lok gege, that looks like Taihua."
Kuo Lok said, "It does."
Bazar Batu shouted, "Taihua."
Yong Taihua quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and looked at Bazar Batu and Kuo Lok. He walked towards them. He asked, "How do you guy get here?"
Bazar Batu said, "We don't know. We escaped the attack of the snakes and found ourselves here." He noticed that Yong Taihua's eyes were red. "What happened? Did you cry?"
Yong Taihua trembling voice said, "I did a terrible thing."
Kuo Lok asked, "How terrible is it?"
Yong Taihua said, "I betrayed Dandan...but I didn't mean it. My heart told me no, but my heart couldn't control my body."
Bazar Batu asked, "What the hell did you do?"
Yong Taihua looked down at the ground. His voice was trembling, "I think I raped and killed someone."
Bazar Batu's jaw drops, "What? Do you think...?" He stared at Yong Taihua. "I don't believe you did this out of your free will."
Kuo Lok asked, "Who?"
Yong Taihua said sadly, "Cao Yangmei." He frowned in shame.
Bazar Batu, "Did you kill her after raping her?"
Yong Taihua, "I don't know if she is dead or alive. I was ashamed of my action and ran away after waking up."
Bazar Batu asked, "You did this deliberately, maybe because you miss Dandan too much?"
Yong Taihua said, "I would never think of doing this to anyone, especially to someone I know."
Kuo Lok said, "As a man, you must be responsible for your actions. I know you love Dandan, but since she is gone and you did something wrong to Cao guniang, you must take responsibility."
Bazar Batu comforted, "Dandan will not blame you. She loves you because you are a man of your words. Moreover, if your shizun knows about this, he is likely to make you take responsibility."
Kuo Lok said, "Cao guniang is not a bad woman, after all, she is chief Cao daughter and the sister cousin of chief Rao."
Bazar Batu teased, "You are not handsome, how come you always get strong support from women?"
Kuo Lok asked, "Where did you leave Cao guniang?"
Yong Taihua took a deep breath, "I will take you."
Yongzheng grabbed Xue Horan's hand and said, "Let's go home." Just when Yongzheng and Xue Horan started to walk away, Rao Zhengsheng grabbed Yongzheng's left shoulder with his right hand. Yongzheng looked at Rao Zhengsheng. "Rao Zhengsheng, you know you can't beat me."
Rao Zhengsheng said, "Yongzheng, as a man, if you wronged her, you must take responsibility."
Yongzheng said firmly, "I didn't do anything to her, she is not my responsibility." He pushed Rao Zhengsheng's hand away.
Rao Zhengsheng said, "You can leave but Horan stay."
Yongzheng said, "Rao Zhengsheng, I don't interfere with your affairs, so don't interfere with mine."
Rao Zhengsheng looked at Xue Horan, "Hao'er, you stay."
Xue Horan looked at Rao Zhengsheng and said, "Da shixiong, I go wherever Yongzheng go." His hand was tightly clasped on Yongzheng's right sleeve.
Rao Zhengsheng staring at Xue Horan and his heart ache. He used to be the one that Xue Horan's depends on, and now Yongzheng has taken his place. Also, Cao Yanmei was their cousin, and Rao Zhengsheng was very angry at Yongzheng for the way he treating her. Rao Zhengsheng stretched out his hand to grab Xue Horan's hand, but was kicked away by Yongzheng.
Yongzheng looked at Rao Zhengsheng coldly, "Rao Zhengsheng, do you really want to be my enemy?"
Rao Zhengsheng said, "Then don't treat me as your enemy."
Yongzheng and Rao Zhengsheng looked at each other. Rao Zhengsheng slowly stretched out his hand to his butterfly sword.
Yan Zhanjin said from behind the two brothers, "You two don't have to fight. Brothers should help each other instead of choking each other. Your actions are too shameful." He walked towards them. "If Yongzheng is really innocent, I can prove his innocence." He took out a small pill. "I saw the powder on Cao guniang's clothes. This type of powder is stimulated sexual desire, but I found nothing on Yongzheng's clothes. If he is really poisoned by the same poison, then this medicine will cause a reaction, and he would be arose immediately." He looked at Yongzheng. "If he is not poison then his sexual desire is still controllable."
Yongzheng stretched out his hand to get the pill, but was stopped by Xue Horan. Xue Horan said, "Yongzheng, I trust you and that is what matter the most. You don't have to do anything."
Yongzheng said, "This is not for you, but for their peace of mind."
Yong Taihua shouted from the left, "You don't need to take that pill." Everyone looked at Yong Taihua, Kuo Lok, and Bazar Batu.
Yong Caixia, "Da ge, what are you talking about?"
Yong Taihua looked at Yan Zhanjin and said, "Take your pill away. He doesn't need to take that pill."
Yan Zhanjin, "He is proving his innocence."
Bazar Batu said, "Taihua, no one will blame you."
Yong Taihua looked at the confused Cao Yanmei, then turned to look at Rao Zhengsheng. He said, "Chief Rao, I will take responsibility for what happened to Cao guniang."
Rao Zhengsheng, "You?"
Yong Taihua nodded to Rao Zhengsheng, then turned to look at Cao Yanmei. He said, "Cao guniang, last night was me. I will take full responsibility."
Cao Yanmei was startled, "How could it be you? Last night, I clearly saw Yongzheng standing in front of me."
Yong Taihua said, "It must be the powder that Miao Mingzhu threw at us." He looked at Yan Zhanjin. "I'm sorry."
Yan Zhanjin, "For what?"
Yong Taihua, "I feel like I have betrayed Dandan now."
Yan Zhanjin, "Even if Dandan is still alive, she has to accept this incident and without holding anything against you."
Yong Taihua said, "Chief Rao, when I return to Sword Village, I will discuss with my father and prepare for the wedding."
Rao Zhengsheng, "Yong gongzi, I will report to Dong shushu." He looked at everyone. "Let's go back to the temple."
When the group arrive at the old temple more disciples from the six sectors and many different clans and sectors appeared. Kuo Lok looked glanced at the corner and found Kuo Changchang sitting alone. He and Bazar Batu made their way to Kuo Changchang.
Kuo Lok, "Jie…"
Kuo Changchang looked up and saw Kuo Lok. She smiled and said, "Benefactor Kuo, how many times have I told you to call me nun Ziyou."
Kuo Lok said, "You are still my jiejie."
Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu sat beside Kuo Changchang. Bazar Batu then asked, "Jiejie…I'm sorry, Ziyou nun...Can I ask you something very personal?"
Kuo Changchang said, "Go ahead, I have nothing to hide."
Bazar Batu said, "Back then, you and Ma Jingguo were locked up in the dungeon, and you inhaled the poison..."
Kuo Changchang said, "You want to know if Ah Chen and I did it?"
Bazar Batu was guilty and embarrassed, "Yes..."
Kuo Changchang, "No, we didn't."
Bazar Batu muttered to himself, "How is it possible? Taihua can't control himself. How did Ma Jingguo control himself at that time?"
Kuo Changchang smiled and said, "If you have a strong heart, anything can be overcome. Beside, inside benefactor Ma's heart, the only person he loves is benefactor Mu. If you love someone so much, even if someone else undressed in front of you, you will feel nothing. In that small room, he will constantly move himself away from me and self-inflect pain on himself until we are rescued."
Bazar Batu, "That is really smart of him. By doing this, he will focus on the pain, rather than the sexual urgency?"
Kuo Changchang said, "Benefactor Bazar, you got that right."
Yan Zhanjin sat beside Zhu Mingyang and asked, "How do you feel?"
Zhu Mingyang, "It's much better."
Yong Taihua asked, "Xue gongzi, how did you escape?"
Xue Horan said, "I was saved by Xin Taiyang."
Yong Taihua, "Demon Ma…By the way, have you seen my shizun with demon Ma?"
Xue Horan, "Who is your shizun?"
Yong Taihua, "Mu Dishi."
Xue Horan said, "I have seen him, but he doesn't look good."
Yong Taihua, "What do you mean?"
Xue Horan said, "He is pale and his hands are still chained. Everyone says that Ma Jingguo loves Mu Dishi, but I don't think so. The condition Mu Dishi is in, is very pitiful. I can see that he is actually in a lot of pain."
Yong Taihua stood up angrily, "Demon Ma."
"Yong Taihua!"
As soon as Yong Taihua turned around, he was severely hit on his right chest. The punch is fast and powerful. The powerful punch knocked Yong Taihua directly against the wall. Yong Taihua fell to the ground, vomiting blood. He raised his head to see who had punched himself, only to see Cao Wenyan staring directly at him.
Cao Wenyan said hatefully, "I'm going to kill you."
