Chapter 70 - Stubborn Hearts

Guo Baiyu reached the stairs, and he saw the Huang sisters guarding the stairs. He walked down the stairs and carried the bloody water basin. Guo Longtong rushed toward him.

Guo Longtong asked, "How is she?"

Guo Baiyu, "She is resting and out of danger."

Guo Longtong patted his chest happily, "Miss Huang said you are the best doctor, but I don't believe it."

Guo Baiyu said, "This is what I have been doing for the past two years." He turned to Huang Yueliang. "Thank you Miss Huang. I am headed out for some medicine, may I trouble you to look after Ping'an?"

Huang Yueliang, "Don't worry, I'll look after her."

Guo Baiyu, "Longtong, you should go change."

Guo Longtong, "Baiyu, I will be back afterward."

Guo Baiyu was about to leave when Master Guo voiced stopped him. He said, "Baiyu, come home with me. We have to talk."

Guo Baiyu replied, "Master Guo, I have nothing to talk about. I have already said what I want to say."

Master Guo said madly, "You come back home and marry Lady Wu. Nothing will change, you are still the heir."

Guo Baiyu turned to Master Guo and said, "Master Guo, a mountain full with gold cannot compare to the smile on my wife's face. We love simple life, because every minute together is priceless." He looked at Guo Yingyu. "In addition, you have many other sons to become your heir and continue your business. I wish you the best." He smiled at Master Guo.

Master Guo, "No matter what, you will not go back?"

Guo Baiyu said, "I do apologize. I have something to do."

Master Guo was very angry with Guo Baiyu, and his heart beat faster. He always knew that Guo Baiyu was his most valuable son. After Guo Baiyu left, the family's wealth drained. He looked at Wu Xiangmei, then nodded. The other fifteen people blocked the front door. Fang Yaoting stood beside Guo Baiyu.

Fang Yaoting drew out his sword, "No one touched Baiyu."

Guo Yingyu, "Fang Yaoting. You are supposed to be helping us."

Fang Yaoting scoffed and said, "I am here only for Baiyu, no one else."

The fifteen men attacked Guo Baiyu and Fang Yaoting. Fang Yaoting's swordsmanship was highly skilled. The Wu sisters knew that if the guards continued to exchange swords with Fang Yaoting, they would lose. Guo Yingyu swung his sword at Fang Yaoting, to avoid the attack, Fang Yaoting flipped backward and landed on the table where Guo Longtong and his friends were sitting. Wu Meirong directly sent six needles to Fang Yaoting. When Fang Yaoting blocked the six needles with his sword, Wu Xiangmei out sent another six needles. Huang Yueliang made a sound wave energy, blocking the first four needles, and the remaining two needles were straight towards Guo Longtong and Lee Dachin. Huang Hongse grabbed Guo Longtong's left arm and yanked him away. Fang Yaoting flipped backward and grabbed Lee Dachin's left shoulder. Fang Yaoting spun around in front of Lee Dachin and used himself to blocked the needle. The needle hit Fang Yaoting behind the left shoulder blade.

Wu Meirong, "Childe Fang, if I were you, I would not move or use my spiritual energy. The more you move, the faster the poison travels."

Lee Dachin looked at Fang Yaoting frightenly, "Childe Fang."

Fang Yaoting bluffed, "A little poison will not hurt me."

Wu Meirong, "We will see if you can stand in half an hour."

Guo Longtong shouted, "Wu Meirong, give him the antidote."

Wu Xiangmei, "Baiyu go with us, and Mei Rong will give him the antidote."

Guo Baiyu shook his head.

Fang Yaoting's left hand began to shake, and the scabbard fell to the ground, making a clanking sound.

Lim Peizhi walked through the front door, "If I were you, I would not move."

The Wu, the Guo and the fifteen people turned to face Lim Peizhi and his archers.

Lim Peizhi said, "Any of you who dare to threaten Doctor Guozhao will respond to the army of Waterfall City."

Guo Baiyu approached Master Guo and said, "Master Guo, please leave. Your fifteen people are no match for the army of Waterfall City. I chose not to fight because I still respect you. Please leave me be."

Guo Yingyu, "Baiyu, if you sided with them, we will no longer be a family."

Guo Baiyu replied, "I'm already with my family." He approached Guo Yingyu and Master Guo. "Don't push too far. I never need you, is your family that always needs me." He walked to Wu Meirong. "Miss Wu, if something happen to childe Fang, the Wu family will not be able to answer to the Fang family. I want to remind you that Madam Fang is General Tang's only daughter and she is the only sister of the six generals of Capital City."

Master Guo, "Meirong give childe Fang the antidote."

Wu Meirong threw a pill at Fang Yaoting.

Guo Baiyu went out and said to Lim Peizhi, "Childe Lim, what are you doing in Peace Town?"

Lim Peizhi, "I'm following Huang Yueliang and Hongse here."

Guo Baiyu, "They are inside. I have to go get some medicine. I'll talk to you later."

Guo Longtong and his two friends followed Gou Baiyu out into the street. Lim Peizhi walked into the inn and encountered an ugly scene. Lim Peizhi looked at his followers and ordered them to clean up the corpses and blood on the floor.

Lim Peizhi turned to the Wu and Guo. He said politely, "I apologize to you for the time being. I am Lim Peizhi from Waterfall City. I have no ill attention towards any of you, but if any of you wants to harm doctor Guozhao, his wife, or his brother. I will protect them with my life."

Wu Xiangmei, "What are you to them?"

Lim Peizhi, "They are the saviors of the people in Waterfall City."

Wu Xiangmei, "You acknowledge Ping'an as his wife?"

Lin Peizhi, "Everyone in Waterfall City knows they are husband and wife. He announced this. If not, I would never let him leave Waterfall City without making him my brother-in-law."

The Innkeeper approached slowly from behind the registration desk.

The Innkeeper said carefully, "Please every sit and calm down, since all the bodies and blood have been cleaned up."

Many customers went to the innkeeper to ask for a refund. The innkeeper can do nothing but return the money to them.

The innkeeper frowned, "It's really an unfortunate year."

Lim Peizhi looked at the Innkeeper and said, "I will book all of the rooms."

The innkeeper light up with a big smile, "I will have the chef... cook some food."

Lim Peizhi, "Those who are still here let them stay. Those who want to leave let them leave and make room for us."

The innkeeper, "Yes. I will go prepare those empty rooms."

Lim Peizhi took out two big gold ingots and gave them to the innkeeper. The innkeeper walked back to the kitchen happily.

The Guo and Wu refused to leave. The waiters brought the people their food. The group began to eat when Gu Baiyu walked in with medicine bags and he walked back to the kitchen.

Lim Peizhi, "What's the matter? Doctor Guozhao doesn't look very good. Where are his wife and the great hunter Guozhao Renshu?"

Huang Yueliang explained to Lim Peizhi whena waiter walked by, put two plates of food on the tray, and then handed them to Huang Hongse.

Huang Hongse, "I'll take this to Renshu. He hasn't eaten since this morning."

Huang Hongse went upstairs carrying a food tray. She walked to the room and knocked gently on the door, but there was no answer. She checked the unlocked door, then slowly opened the door, and saw Zhao Renshu sitting by the bed holding Ping'an's hand. Huang Hongse put the food on the table.

Huang Hongse said, "Renshu, I brought some food for you."

Zhao Renshu, "Bring it back. I'm not hungry."

Huang Hongse insisted, "You haven't eaten anything since this morning. Eat something."

Zhao Renshu was very frustrated, "Miss Huang, I don't know how to make you understand." He faced her. "Please leave us alone. I beg you. Let us be alone. There are a lot of people there. If you walk out on the street, and shout out if anyone wants to marry you, I'm sure there will be many men. In a row for you to choose from."

Zhao Renshu took Huang Hongse's hand, dragged her to the bed, and then opened his palm.

Zhao Renshu opened the palm of Ping'an and said, "Did you see her scar?" He opened his palm. "Did you see this scar? We are born with it. There are two scars on her palm. Baiyu have one, and I have one. We have been connected from the beginning. Baiyu and I are just some souls. ...Until she created us out of the soil and gave us her heart." He looked at Huang Hongse sadly. "We belong to each other. From now on, I will never go easy to anyone who want to separate us. We have been tortured for many years, maybe centuries. We don't even know if we will see each other in the next life. We want this life time to be worthy. So, please leave us alone."

Huang Hongse pulled her hand from Zhao Renshu's hand, and she rushed out of the room furiously. She has never like any man before like the way she liked Zhao Renshu. She even chased him across the country and at the end he told her to get lost. When Gou Baiyu took the medicine up the stairs, she angrily walked down the stairs. Then she realized that Ping'an was injured, which is why Zhao Renshu was angry. She walked back to the table and sat down.

Huang Yueliang asked, "How is it?"

Huang Hongse said madly, "Jerk."

Lim Peizhi, "Hongse, don't be mad. I already told the waiter to bring them some food."

Huang Hongse looked upstairs and eat angrily at the table with Huang Yueliang and Lim Peizhi.
