Lee Dachin begged, "Ping'an, please go back."
Ping'an, "If you don't go with me, I won't go."
Lee Dachin, "I'm going home. You don't need to follow me?"
Ping'an, "Dachin stop." She pulled him back. "What's wrong? Last night, childe Fang confessed his love in front of everyone. Today, you behaved strangely."
Lee Dachin, "It is a joke, why take it seriously?"
A sword flew towards them out of nowhere. Ping'an knocked the sword away using her whip, but the sword returned to the master's hand. The person holding the sword is Yang Delun.
Yang Delun, "The joke is on you today."
Ping'an, "Yang Delun." Ping'an looked at Lee Dachin. "When I fight him, you run."
Yang Delun attacked Ping'an, and Lee Dachin tried to escape. Yang Delun sent a talisman to Lee Dachin's shoulder, which made Lee Dachin unable to move.
Yang Delun then attacked Ping'an aggressively. Yang Delun forced a kick to Ping'an, but she blocked it with her left hand. Ping'an stumbled four steps back. Ping'an commended her three swords and directly sent the swords at Yang Delun.
Yang Delun couldn't believe that woman could command three swords. He no longer wants to extend the fight any longer, because it will ruin his plan. He jumped over and aimed his sword right at Lee Dachin's neck.
Yang Delun demanded, "Call your swords, otherwise he will die."
Ping'an opened her right palm, and then three swords flew into her palm. These three swords became three small swords the size of a hairpin.
Ping'an, "Let him go."
Yang Delun, "Give me your sword." He pressed the sword on Lee Dachin's neck.
Ping'an threw her three swords to Yang Delun. Yang Delun threw some white powder onto Ping'an's face, and then she black out.
After Ping'an regained consciousness, she lay on the concrete floor. She adjusted her eyes and she was inside an abandoned temple. She saw a chain tied her feet with Lee Dachin's feet.
Lee Dachin, "Ping'an." He sat up. "Where are we?"
Ping'an, "I don't know."
Lee Dachin, "Who is that?"
Ping'an, "That's Yang Delun. He is impersonating Renshu. We exposed him a few days ago. I think he is seeking revenge."
Lee Dachin, "Are we danger?"
Ping'an, "I'm not sure. I think we are his bait to lure Renshu."
Lee Dachin lowered his head sadly, "You shouldn't follow me home."
Ping'an, "I know I shouldn't follow you. If I don't follow you, you may not be in this situation."
Lee Dachin, "I'm sorry. I couldn't help you."
Ping'an, "Dachin, what's the matter? Are you arguing with childe Fang?"
Lee Dachin, "No. We didn't argue. Do you mind if I lay down? I feel uncomfortable sitting."
Ping'an, "Here rest your head here." She patted her right thigh.
Lee Dachin put his head on Ping'an's right thigh. She felt his forehead, slightly hot. She took out the medicine bottle and gave Lee Dachin a pill.
Ping'an, "Here. It's for pain." She put the medicine into his mouth.
The two friends heard the wolf howling outside the door.
Ping'an worried, "We are being guard by wolves."
Everyone on the table was laughing at Guo Longtong.
Zhao Renshu, "Bookworm, you almost kill me." He laughed.
Lim Peizhi, "What makes you think Ping'an has an affair with childe Lee?"
Zhao Renshu, "If I were you, I would check my eyes."
Yang Delun, "Enjoy your last laugh." He walked into the main dining hall with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Renshu, "The imposter is here again."
Yang Delun, "Zhao Renshu, I was humiliated by you last time. This time I want this town to know that Yang Delun is better than the great hunter Zhao Renshu."
Zhao Renshu, "I believe I have told you not to show up again."
Yang Delun laughed arrogantly, "I believe I will beat you this time and take away your tile." He laughed, but there were two voices.
Huang Hongse, "You should save the embarrassment."
Yang Delun walked behind Zhao Renshu. He whispered into Zhao Renshu's left ear in a low voice and showed him something. The group noticed that Zhao Renshu's facial expression changed immediately.
Yang Delun, "At noon tomorrow in the town central square."
Zhao Renshu said firmly, "I will be there."
Yang Delun smiled and walked out, "See you then."
Huang Yueliang, "You don't need to fight him."
Guo Baiyu, "This person is a little different. He and the Yang Delun we met are not the same person."
Zhao Renshu turned to Guo Baiyu with great concerned, "He got Ping'an and Dachin."
Guo Longtong, "They ran away together. Are you sure?"
Huang Hongse, "Stop fantasizing."
Zhao Renshu, "He showed me Ping'an's swords."
Ping'an leaned her head on a pole while Lee Dachin rested his head on her right lap. As they got to know each other more, Ping'an became fond of Lee Dachin. Lee Dachin up bringing is no different than Ping'an. Ping'an has always thought that she is the most unlucky person in the world, but she is luckier than Lee Dachin, at least her grandmother cheered her up when she was sad, comforted her when she cried, and encouraged her when she lost all hopes. She slowly removed Lee Dachin's hair away from his face.
Lee Dachin slowly opened his eyes, "Ping'an."
Ping'an, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
Lee Dachin, "No."
Ping'an, "Dachin, I always thought I was the hapless person in the world."
Lee Dachin, "No, you are not. I envy you very much."
Ping'an, "Have you quarreled with childe Fang?"
Lee Dachin, "No."
Ping'an, "f not, why did you suddenly rush out?"
Lee Dachin, "I told him I can't be with him."
Ping'an, "I know how you feel. Now, you think this is the best way for both of you. You did this for him and yourself to prevent others from gossip." She patted gently on his head. "Baiyu once told me that we can lie to the whole world, but we can never lie to ourselves. If we are loyal to ourselves, there is nothing to be ashamed of. He also asked me why I made decision without considering his feelings." She felt warm tears on her knees. "No matter where you go, people will talk. Choosing this path is not easy. If the other person gives up too easily, that person is not worthy of your love."
Lee Dachin cried softly, "Thank you."
Ping'an stretched out her hand and wipe his tears, "You are worried that childe Fang's action was because of Baiyu's rejection. You are afraid that you are a substitution."
Lee Dachin, "We moving too fast."
Ping'an, "You should always give others a chance to prove themselves. How do you know that he is lying or not lying without giving him a chance to prove himself?"
Lee Dachin, "He is too good for me."
Ping'an smiled at him, "Look at me, do you think people like me are good enough for Baiyu and Renshu?" She made a funny face and looked down at Lee Dachin.
The two friends bursts out laughing.
Lee Dachin, "Thank you for cheering me up."
Ping'an, "That's what friends are for. There is no school in Cloud City. You can come and teach there. You will make a better living teaching there than here. We can build a school for you. You can repay us back by taken care of our home while we are out hunting."
Lee Dachin, "Sounds great."
Ping'an, "Everyone in Cloud City is friendly. There are about a hundred and twenty-three people living there, and also it only a two days walked from Cloud City to Capital City." She smiled at him.
Yang Delun walked in with a fainted woman. He threw her on the concrete floor. Lee Dachin noticed that this is the same lady from yesterday.
Lee Dachin, "She is the one who fought with Miss Huang and childe Fang yesterday morning."
Ping'an, "What is she doing here?"
Yang Delun, "Let's see who died tomorrow. Ha...ha...ha..." He walked out.
