Guo Fu II on the making

[MysteriouX]

I should've foresaw that this would happened. Stupid Stupid Stupid!!!

Well it isnt entirely my fault. I thought that YBQ and his wife found LHC just shortly after he passed out.

For the time being I guess there is only 2 possibilities.

Either those 2 Song Shan seniors had a third member who kept and eye out for them, and this person stole the manual from LHC while he was passed out and before YBQ and his wife arrived.

Or there was another person also looking for the manual. Maybe it was Luo Denou, after all he is inside Hua Shan sect and he must've been keeping an eye on the activities of YLS and LPZ.

Anyone else with better ideas for the moment?

[SkineePanda]

ouch...

I don't have any idea coz I know it already . Watch many tv adaptations of this novel before. Don't want to be crucified alive coz of presenting spoiler

Ever crossed your mind that his precious Master-Wife might have stolen it?

Guo Fu II on the making

Agreed, but at least YG is not in love with her. Unfortunately, LHC is totally blinded by his one sided affection whilst so many beautiful girls queuing for his attention.

TQ again Pokit for your constant update.

Adam, thanks for your compliment. And may God bless you too.

Mysterioux, I understood what you are talking, and I will try my best to correct it for the future translation. However, I have to admit that I am not THAT literate, so it is really not easy to adhere strictly to literary style. I give you a simple example: I used the term 'bullet' just the other day, which JamesG pointed was not really accurate. But the word 'bullet' did exist in the novel, at least that's what I got from the online translator. Anyway, I will try to pay more attention to this kind of things. Thanks for pointing that out.

Say, I was not able to access spcnet at all yesterday, I tried it since 6am until about 8pm without any success, but I notice that the rest of you posted something yesterday. Is there anybody who had the same problem? Or was it just me? I tried using two different network, my home and office. And I had no problem accessing other sites.

[eliza bennet]

I had the same problem yesterday, I tried to enter this site and was automatically directed to somewhere else.

Pokit thank you so much for your efforts.


Yeah little Yue is apparently in the same leage with Guo Fu. Poor LHC, to actually feel sad over that type of person but I guess he can't help his feelings.

And look smart he is when getting his own way with other people, such as the nuns. I can see where JY is going as far as the morality issues are concerned but I still feel uncomfortable the way he manipulates the nuns (outlaw nuns - heh)

He is a nice and fun person but I like him less and less with each post.

[marktio]

thanks pokit for your hard work again!

may be YBQ stole the red robe and lied to YLC

[Temujin]

Ever crossed your mind that his precious Master-Wife might have stolen it?

No, it was actually Yue Lingshan herself

[MysteriouX]

SPCNET seems to have this kind of server error problem at least 4 times a year that I know of.

[MysteriouX]

Agreed, but at least YG is not in love with her. Unfortunately, LHC is totally blinded by his one sided affection whilst so many beautiful girls queuing for his attention.

TQ again Pokit for your constant update.

I think she is talking about Yilin, not YLS.


Sorry I was wrong here, I misread the name as guo xiang, so someone please delete this post

[MysteriouX]

Ever crossed your mind that his precious Master-Wife might have stolen it?

Hmm perhaps, but I am assuming that YBQ and his wife found LHC at the same time, and unless they are working together, neither one of them could steal it.

You think that couple maybe in reality planning something evil? I can understand if you said YBQ was, but his wife just doesnt seem like the type.

But then again, in many a classic example, its always those that you don't suspect who turn up to be the bad guy in the end.


Anyway I want to give this story another name:

"The Misadventures of the Heroic Young Wanderer Linghu Chong" or "...Misfortunes..."

[Demonic Swordsman]

seriously..how much more bad luck can he get

he always does the right thing...but he always gets blamed for it

everything he does something good, he gets in trouble

how much more bad luck can he have?

I think these are his clouds before his silver lining. However these clouds seem to be very heavy and dark storm clouds, heavier and darker then usual.


Oh and dont forget this is a classic ploy of writers. All heroes must face many hardships and tragedies before the happy ending. I just hope he doesnt have as much as heroes in Marvel or DC comics seem to have in way over abundence.

"I didn't mean that your mother embezzled it. Gods above and inside my heart, I didn't mean to disrespect your mother in the slightest bit. I only said... only said..." Linghu Chong stammered.

"What?" Yue Lingshan shouted.

"Your mother must have seen this Buddhist robe and realised that it belonged to the Lin family so she must have given it to martial brother Lin," Linghu Chong reasoned.

Yue Lingshan coldly said, "Why would my mum search you? You disregarded your own life to snatch that thing back to supposedly return to martial brother Lin. Hng, hng, couldn't you have returned it when you woke up? Why wouldn't she have given you face over this matter?"

Linghu Chong thought, "What she said is true. Then someone had stolen that Buddhist robe?"

As he pondered about this, cold sweat started to pour out from his back. He said, "If it's like that then there must be some other reason."

He then shook his clothes all over and said, "I don't have the Buddhist robe on me. If you don't believe me, you can search me."

Yue Lingshan replied in a cold voice, "You're a very clever person. Why would you keep it on yourself after taking other people's stuff? Also, you have so many shady nuns and monks with you here. One of them could've kept it for you."

Yue Lingshan was treating Linghu Chong like she was examining a prisoner; all the Heng-Shan School's disciples already thought that this was unfair. When they heard her insulting them, a few of them cried out at the same time, "Nonsense!" "What shady nuns!" "There are no monks here!" "Aren't you shady yourself?"

Yue Lingshan grabbed her sword handle and shouted, "You're all Buddhist disciples but you're entangled with this man and followed him day and night. Can't this be called shady? Pei! Shameless!"

Heng-Shan School's disciples were outraged. Seven or eight of them immediately pulled their swords out. Yue Lingshan also drew her sword out and shouted, "You want to rely on numbers to win and shut me up? Come on! If Lady Yue is afraid of you people then I wouldn't be a Huashan School's disciple!"

Linghu Chong waved his left hand stopping the Heng-Shan School's disciples from attacking. He sighed, "You've already suspected me from the beginning so I don't have anything to say to that. How about Lao Denuo? How come you didn't go and ask him? He already stole the "Violet Twilight Secret Manual". Maybe he also stole this Buddhist robe?"

"You want me to ask Lao Denuo, don't you?" Yue Lingshan replied loudly.

Linghu Chong thought that her question was strange but he still answered, "Yes!"

"Ok. Then come here and take my life! You're already proficient in Lin family's Evil Resisting Sword Art, so I'm not your match at all!" Yue Lingshan shouted.

"Why would I... I want to injure you?" Linghu Chong confusedly said.

"You wanted me to ask Lao Denuo. If you don't kill me then how do I meet him in this world?" Yue Lingshan said.

Linghu Chong felt happy and surprised when he heard this. He asked, "Lao Denuo, Mast... your father killed him?" He knew that after he was expelled from Huashan School, Lao Denuo's martial art would be the highest among the disciples. If Yue Buqun didn't kill Lao Denuo himself then other people might not be able to do away with him. Linghu Chong hated Lao Denuo to the bone as he had killed Lu Dayou. So when he heard that Lao Denuo had died already, it was a joyful occasion.

Yue Lingshan laughed coldly, "When a gentleman does something, he takes responsibility for it. You've killed Lao Denuo, why do you still not admit to it?"

Linghu Chong was totally puzzled, "You said I killed him? If I had really killed him, why wouldn't I admit to it? This person had killed sixth martial brother and deserved to be killed. My only regret is that I couldn't do it with my own hands."

"Then why did you also kill eighth martial brother? He didn't offend you at all, you... you're so cruel," Yue Lingshan said in a loud voice.

Linghu Chong was even more startled. His voice was trembling, "Eighth martial brother and I are good to each other. Why... why would I want to kill him?"

"Ever since you colluded with the Devil Sect, your behaviour has been really strange. Who knows why... why you want to kill eighth martial brother? You... you..." Her tears started to flow as she said this.

Linghu Chong took a step forward and said, "Little martial sister, don't guess wildly. Eighth martial brother was still very young and didn't have any enmity with anyone or did anyone wrong. Not just me, even other people wouldn't have the heart to harm him."

Yue Lingshan looked outraged as she fiercely shouted, "Then why did you have the heart to kill Lin Pingzhi?"

[ChronoReverse]

Now this is getting interesting. We know LHC couldn't have done this since we have the benefit of following him. He really gets blamed for everything =/

[Demonic Swordsman]

so wait..how many people is he accused of killing now?

[dokawa]

Wow, thats so confusing.
Could someone be impersonating LHC??
or simply implicating him.
Thanks so much for the translation!

[s4life]

I think it's just YLS's frustration of not knowing who was the perpetrator... LHC just looks like the usual suspect: he killed many people fighting for the devil's sect, suspect of burglary and treason and to top it off YLS knew he was jealous of Lin Pinzhin all along...

The storyline is getting very intrincated though... almost like a novel Gu Long would have written, but still reminiscent of the best parts of the Condor Trilogy ... man I love this book. Thanks a lot Pokit!
