Inside Sunset Sector, Ma Jingguo sat on the throne, closed his eyes and waited for Yuan Chaomei to return. A guard rushed into the hall and said, "Chief Xin, Deputy Chief Yuan returned safely."
After a while, Yuan Chaomei walked in. She saw Ma Jingguo sitting there with his eyes closed. Yuan Chaomei said, "Chief, Chaomei failed to persuade the martial artists to let Mu gongzi return with me."
Ma Jingguo opened his eyes, went down four steps, and walked to Yuan Chaomei. He smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as you're okay, I'm already very happy." He looked at everyone in the hall. "Chaomei, before you appeared, we talked a few topics. Everyone in this hall said in unison, I should not confuse my person feelings with the fate of Sunset Sector." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "What do you think?"
Yuan Chaomei said, "I agrees with the elders."
Ma Jingguo sighed and smiled, "I knew you would say that." He looked at everyone again. "Everyone, since your voices are all the same. Today, I, Xin Taiyang resigned from being your chief."
Everyone in the hall was taken aback. One of the elders said, "Chief, please reconsider your actions. If you wish, we can proceed according to your plan."
Ma Jingguo laughed, "Proceed according to my plan...? If I fail, I can't afford the price." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "Chief Yuan, please take your seat."
Si Mefeng, "Chief, we know you are worried about Mu gongzi, please think twice. You can't resign as our chief for this small reason."
Ma Jingguo said, "To be honest, I never intended to be your chief forever. I did this because of my promise to shifu. I have fulfilled my promise to him. Everyone is right. There are countless lives has sacrificed for Sunset Sector to be acknowledged by the six sectors. I shouldn't ruin the relationship between Sunset Sector and the six sectors. If I did, everything that everyone tries to achieve will be in vain."
Yao Hu, "What do you plan to do next?"
Ma Jingguo said, "I have two years to live, and I should spend it wisely. I think I will travel. Eating and drinking enjoying different wines with a new horizon every day." He laughed. He turned to Yuan Chaomei and smiled. "Congratulations chief Yuan."
Early in the morning, Ma Jingguo walked down the stairs of Sunset Sector. At the bottom of the stairs, he saw his five guards waiting for him.
Yuan Chaomei said, "We knew that you will leave without letting us know."
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "I hate goodbye."
Tang Keung said, "Chief…"
Ma Jingguo said, "Hah…I am no longer your chief."
Tang Keung said, "Ma-xiong, the gate of Sunset Sector will be open for you at all times."
Yao Hu and Yao Hou knelt on their knees, "Ma-xiong, thank you for saving us."
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "Get up... get up. If you count by age, I am younger than you. By the way, we are good xiong-di. I am very happy to have such good xiong-di like you by my side all these time." He helped the Yao Brothers get up.
Si Meifeng said, "Ma-xiong, will you come back to visit us in the future?"
Ma Jingguo said, "I don't know yet. Since the people here are my good xiong-di, I will try my best to come visit as much as I can."
Tang Keung smiled and said, "If this is the case, then we should have dinner here once every years here."
Everyone nodded.
Ma Jingguo walked forward and faced his good brothers. He smiled and said, "I am very lucky to meet everyone. I am glad that I am no longer a person without a family. If I am still alive next year, I will definitely come back to have dinner with everyone." He walked down the stairs and waved at his five guards. When he descended far enough, he smiled and sighed softly.
The five leaders of Sunset Sector watched Ma Jingguo slowly disappeared into the stairwell.
Yuan Chaomei said, "If chief."
Si Meifeng, "You are are now the chief."
Yuan Chaomei said, "If Xin-xiong fights with the six sectors, what will everyone here do?"
Yao Hu said, "I will help him, because without him, us brothers would still be locked up in the Gu prison."
Tang Keung said, "He didn't want us to be involved in his personal affairs, so he decided to hand over the leadership seat."
Yuan Chaomei said, "I will accept it gently for the time being, but when Xin-xiong decides to return to Sunset Sector, I will return the leader's seat to him." She looked at everyone. "Do you all agree?"
Si Meifeng said, "As long as you don't mind."
Yuan Chaomei, "But I don't think he will return to Sunset Sector."
Yao Huo, "Why?"
Yuan Chaomei said, "If he succeed in rescuing Mu gongzi. He will take Mu gongzi home. He told me that what he wanted most was to live a happy and healthy life with Mu gongzi, and travel the world with one flute and one guzheng."
A disciple rushed up the stairs. The disciple knelt in front of Yuan Chaomei, and said, "Chief Yuan, chief Xin is heading to the city where the six sectors and other martial artists temporally stay."
Yao Hu, "What shall we do?"
Yuan Chaomei said, "Without him, Sunset sector would never be complete." She looked at her disciple. "Watch carefully, if chief Xin is in danger, let us know as soon as possible."
Disciple, "Yes." The disciple hurriedly withdrew and left.
Ma Jingguo walked into the market and sat in the inn for a long time. Many martial artists went in and out of the inn, no one recognized him, because he dressed in his old clothes. While drinking, he decided where to go when he leave the inn. On his right, is the way down the pier, where he can simply rent a boat and cross the Yangtze River. The price he will pay is to leave the martial arts world quietly and spend his last two years eating and drinking, until the two energies in his body decide to kill him. On his left, is the road leading to the old temple. If he chooses to go that way, he will get to see Mu Dishi for one last time, but the price of doing so is that he will face many skilled martial artists and die tragically when the martial artists gather together to fight him.
When Ma Jingguo was full and had enough rest, he called the waiter. He asked, "How much?"
The waiter glanced at him and said, "Five liangs." Ma Jingguo reached into his inner robe and took out his money bag. He paid the waiter. The waiter looked down at the floor, picked up the braided hair, and sat back on the table. "Good sir, you drop this."
Ma Jingguo picked up the braided hair and stuffed it back into his inner robe. He looked down at his feet and saw that his shoes were torn slightly. Ma Jingguo murmured, "Xiao shushu, it's very true. I am very tired of chasing after you, so I gave up." He walked out the Inn.
Then two young martial artist passed Ma Jingguo and walked into the inn. A young martial artist said, "If antagonist Xin decided to show up, Mu gongzi will help the six sectors to get rid of him."
Another young martial artist asked, "Really?"
"Yes, I heard it with my own ears. Mu gongzi agreed."
Ma Jingguo chuckled, "So, he agreed."
Sitting in front of the old temple are ten martial artists. When Ma Jingguo stood in front of them, the ten men were sitting and chatting happily. The young martial artists doesn't know who Ma Jingguo is. They think Ma Jingguo is one of the beggars.
"Beggar, we have given everyone money, why are you still here."
"Go. Go. Go. Go."
Ma Jingguo said, "Yong Taihua have something that belong to me. I'm here to take it back."
A young martial artists threw his white pear on the ground. He roared wildly, "You nasty beggar, how dare you call Yong gongzi by name? Who the hell do you think you are?"
The young martial artists rushed towards Ma Jinguo with a punch. Ma Jingguo squeezed the young martial artist's fist and pinched the young martial artist's throat. Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "Little ant, how dare you raise your fist against the great antagonist Xin?" Ma Jingguo broke the young martial artist's neck and threw his body on the ground. Ma Jingguo continued to walk into the the old temple.
Behind a building, Yan Zhanjin was still telling others how they would help Mu Dishi, and the disciples from Sword Village rushed in. The disciple shouted, "Da shixiong, da shixiong…"
Yong Taihua said, "What's the matter? Has Seventy-two Islands attacked?"
The disciple said, "No, Xin Taiyang is here for shizun. He said, if you don't let shizun go, he will kill you."
Bazar Batu, "I know he will come here."
Yong Taihua, "Good, we don't need to find him."
Zhu Mingyang looked at Yan Zhanjin and said, "It's too late. Do it today. We will stop him as long as possible."
Bazar Batu held Kuo Lok's hand tightly, "Lok gege."
Kuo Lok said, "Don't worry. We will do as promised. I promised you that I will not let anyone take his life."
Zhu Mingyang said, "Lets go and face Xin Taiyang."
