--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duen Shun couldn’t get up. He stared angerly at Duen Shun and said, “Mok Tian Hau… you… you…” Those were his last words. Before finishing this sentence, his head dropped down and died with his eyes opened.The cut on his face was way too deep, bringing him closer and closer to his death until he finally lost it.
Behind the rock, Ming Hei and Mei Yin stared with horror. Ming Hei’s father has killed someone right before his own eyes. He was terrified. Who was his father? What is he doing? What is going on? Ming Hei was very confused. Mei Yin was extremely scared and hugged tightly onto Ming Hei’s hips as she placed her head onto his chest. Ming Hei hugged her securely as he placed his right onto the back of her head and left hand on her back. He raised his head to watch his father. Tian Hau placed his fan away and took out his flute. He blew a few peaceful notes into it and the sky outside brightened up. The sun rised out and the sky turned beautifully blue. The dark and stormy sky that was raining heavily disappeared. The sky was changing under the command of the flute! Ming Hei and Mei Yin’s eyes lightened up at the sight. The power that Tian Hau holds was farter than they had imagined.
After the sky cleared up, Tian Hau placed his flute back onto the holder behind his back with ease. He then started walking towards Ming Hei’s direction. Ming Hei knew that he was in deep trouble. Mei Yin was still scared at what that has happened within that small amount of time and hugged on tightly to Ming Hei. Tian Hau soon stood right next to his son, who was hugging securely to the women whom he did not want him to be with. Ming Hei looked at his father with innocent eyes and then at Mei Yin. Mei Yin saw that his father was right there and quickly got off of Ming Hei. Tian Hau’s eyes stared at them with extreme madness. Ming Hei and Mei Yin’s heart beated extremely fast, they did now know what will happen next. Tian Hau stared at Ming Hei and Mei Yin for a long period of time. Each second that has gone by, Ming Hei got more and more scared. Soon enough, Tian Hau spoke.
“Ming Hei! Do you know that you have caused a LOT of trouble?!” shouted Tian Hau furiously. Ming Hei looked at his father blankly and stood up.
“Father, I don’t get it. Who led me to this trouble? If you had told me all of this in the first place, I would have known that Duen Shun was someone bad and I wouldn’t have helped him! If you have told me all of this, today wouldn’t have existed! What IS the Ching Sum Kuet? Who IS the legendary White Warrior? Who IS Duen Shun? Who IS Fong Ying Fung? Who are these people and what are these things? What else have you not told me?” said Ming Hei.
Tian Hau held up his hand at his son. “You—you.” Without saying more, Tian Hau slapped his hand across his son’s face. Ming Hei stared at Tian Hau wth the word ‘why’ printed on his face.
“Father! What did I do wrong? Why did you slap me?” demanded Ming Hei.
“You did NOT listen to what I say! If you were more obedient, none of this would have happened!” said Tian Hau.
“I don’t get it, what DID I do wrong? I don’t think that any of my actions are wrong!” said Ming Hei.
“You have three wrong actions. One, you healed Duen Shun when he’s an enemy. Two, you are with this Sima Mei Yin when I specifically told you to not be with. Three, you did not tell me about your improvement in martial arts!” said Tian Hau.
“I do not see those as things I did wrong. Okay, IF I did. One, if you had told me that he was an enemy, I wouldn’t have helped him! If I see someone injured, you said that as a doctor I must help them no matter what. Does this case differ? I don’t think so. Two, Mei Yin and I love each other, so why can’t we be together? If two people love each other, I don’t think that they should be separated even if the class level differs! Three, you have cared less about my improvement in martial arts ever since you THINK that I don’t see Mei Yin anymore. So even if there is improvement, you wouldn’t have noticed. The reason that I haven’t told you is because there is never a time to! It seems like you are trying to ignore the topic of martial arts in or conversations! If you don’t tell me about things, how will my actions e considered as wrong? What ELSE are you hiding from me, father?” said Ming Hei.
“Ming Hei! When did you ever become this disrespectful?! No more talking! Come home RIGHT with me!” said Tian Hau. Without saying more, he grabbed tightly onto Ming Hei’s wrist.
Ming Hei quickly snapped his wrist off. “Father, why are you always like this? I try to be as filial as I can and listen to everything you say even if I do not agree with it. No matter how hard I try, I am never the filial son whom you have in your mind. I haven’t seen you smile in the longest time. I haven’t even seen you sleep in the same bed as mother ever. I don’t get you! If I follow you home this time, I know that you would not let me see Mei Yin ever again. Why are you doing this to me? Do you not want me to happy? No matter what, I will not listen to you this time!” said Ming Hei as he backed up slowly to Mei Yin.
“You!” said Tian Hau. Just then, he pulled out his flute. Knowing that his father wants to use martial arts to get him home, he unsheathed his sword.
“You are being very unfilial right now. If you still consider me as your dad, put down that sword instantly!” demanded Tian Hau.
“Father, I’m sorry, but I do not see why you are not letting Mei Yin and me be together! The last thing I can do, is this. Sorry, father,” said Ming Hei.
“You unfilial son!” shouted Tian Hau. Just after that, they started exchanging attacks. Ming Hei’s martial art was far beyond his imagination, he has reached level 8. The person who allowed him to make it was Mei Yin and knowing this, Tian Hau was not happy. Even though Ming Hei’s martial art is extremely good, Tian Hau was at level 9. Level 8 and level 9’s power greatly differs. Within a short amount of time, Tian Hau gained the upper hand and Ming Hei was struggling. Tian hau’s flute then hit Ming Hei right in the back, causing him to collapse down onto the ground.
“Ming Hei!” shouted Mei Yin concernly from afar.
Not wishing to give up, Ming Hei quickly got up and tried to attack more and more. Sadly, each of these attacks was blocked and Tian Hau hit him right in his stomach, which made him fall again. This time, a bit of blood appeared at the corner of his lip.
“You should really stop and just follow me home. You will never win,” said Tian Hau.
Ming Hei quickly got up and wiped away his blood and started attacking again. Since he was injured, Tian Hau hit him on the shoulder and he fell to his knees. Right then, Mei Yin popped up and lied on top of Ming Hei.
“Mr. Yuen! Please don’t do this anymore!” cried Mei Yin. “Ming Hei, don’t do this. Just follow your father home, I don’t want to see you suffer for me like this. I’m not worth it!”
“Mei Yin, we promised each other that we shall never be separated. I can’t do this,” said Ming Hei.
“Ming Hei…” sobbed Mei Yin. Just at that moment, Tian Hau hit Ming Hei right on the head, causing him to faint.
“Mr. Yuen, why did you do that?” said Mei Yin in surprise.
“If I do not do that, how do you think I’m going to drag him home? Sima Goo Leung, I know that you know that this is for Ming Hei’s good. It might seem like I’m being very cruel but trust me. Your father would not like you to be with Ming Hei. Our family is not any royalty; we are just a family who owns a simple and small medical shop. Whatever you heard about the Ching Sum Kuet and White Warrior, please do not tell anyone about it. I know that you are unsure of the story, but do not tell anyone about anything you know. It could lead you to death if you tell. If there is time in the future, I would tell you the whole story,” said Tian Hau.
“Yes Mr. Yuen,” said Mei Yin sadly.
“Thank you for understanding. Hopefully, you will have a good life with the person whom you are arranged to marry. If nothing big happens, I would prefer that you do not visit Ming Hei. You know, you wouldn’t want him to have his hopes rise again,” said Tian Hau.
“I will not marry He Git,” said Mei Yin.
“What did you say? He Git?” said Tian Hau.
“He’s the man who I am arranged to marry. If I have to marry a pig or dog, I WILL NOT marry him ever in my life,” said Mei Yin.
“Do whatever you want then. It’s just that Ming Hei isn’t your real prince,” said Tian Hau.
“I know Mr. Yuen,” said Mei Yin. After that, Tian Hau carried Ming Hei on his back and left the cave. Mei Yin just sat there, with the dead body of Duen Shun being near. She watched the back of Ming Hei as he was getting carried out, tears dropped down her face. She knows that she might never get a chance to see him ever again. After their image disappeared, she glanced at Duen Shun’s body. Even though he was a bad man, she thinks that he still deserves a proper burial. She then spent the rest of the day digging up a spot and burying Mr. Duen so he can rest in peace. After that, she left and went home, vowing to never some back to this cave ever again.
Ah Fung was at the counter caring for things while Tian Hau was away. Having no idea where he went, she doesn’t know when he’ll return, so she kept on looking out at the streets as she did math on the abacus and waiting for his return. Glancing again, she spotted her husband walking down the street with Ming Hei on his back.
“Tian Hau, what happened?” said Ah Fung when Tian Hau reached their door.
Tian Hau just looked at her in the eye and walked inside. Ah Fung followed. Tian Hau then rested their son on his bed and rubbed ointment on Ming Hei’s injuries. After that, he walked out of Ming Hei’s room and locked the door securely.
“Tian Hau! What are you doing?” said Ah Fung. Once again, he looked at her in the eye for a short amount of time.
“No matter what happens do NOT open Ming Hei’s door!” said Tian Hau finally.
“Why? Tian Hau, what happened,” said Ah Fung as she touched her husband on the shoulder. Tian Hau quickly pushed her hand off.
“Do not touch me,” said Tian Hau.
Ah Fung stared at her with confused eyes. “It’s been 18 years, why do you still treat me like this? Do you think that I’m still an enemy who will harm you?” said Ah Fung while tears gushed out of her eyes.
“How will I NOT know that you will not harm me? What your father did for you 18 years ago as hideous and cruel. If it was not for Ming Hei, I would NOT have taken you as my wife!” said Tian Hau.
“All these 18 years, have you not developed ANY feelings for me at all? All that is in your heart is still that other women!” screamed Ah Fung.
“Yes, she is one of the ONLY one in my heart! I already told you, I WOULDN'T have taken you as my wife if your father has not threatened me! You hold no place in my heart. Just be greatful that you gained the name as my wife! There is two other people in this world that never had this title, the ones who really deserves it…” said Tian Hau. After this, he just looked at Ah Fung with cold eyes and walked back to the front of the shop. Ah Fung just dropped down to her knees and cried. She didn’t want anything else but his love, but no matter what she does she knows that she will never get it. One by one, drops of tears dropped down her face and wetted her dress.
On the other side of the city, Mei Yin was slowly walking home. Her head was down and her eyes were poofy from crying. Her face did not show the gleaming smile she always had. She was soon stepping in front of her own house. She wiped the tears off her eyes and fixed her dress, and then entered.
“Siu Jeh! You’re finally home!” said Siu Chun nervously once Mei Yin stepped in. She saw the face on Mei Yin. “What’s wrong Siu Jeh?”
“Huh? Nothing’s wrong,” said Mei Yin.
“You look rather sad,” said Siu Chun. “Did something happen?”
“No, I’m fine. Were you waiting for me by the door?” said Mei Yin.
“You are fine now but I think you are in BIG trouble. He Git is here,” said Siu Chun.
“What?! He’s here? For what?” said Mei Yin.
“I—I don’t know, but once he came here and talked with Lo Yeh for a little while, Lo Yeh seems to be very mad and told me to wait at the door for you and inform you to go to the main room immediately once you come back from wherever you are,” said Siu Chun.
“Did he find out that I was Sima Mei Yin?” said Mei Yin.
“Most likely, but I do not know how. Siu Jeh! I think you should go to the main room quickly before Lo Yeh gets madder,” said Siu Chun. Without saying more, Mei Yin tidied herself up and went into the main room. There, he saw He Git sipping his tea very unmannerly and her father waiting very impatiently on the other side.
“Father,” said Mei Yin as she bowed lightly.
“You are finally willing to come home?” said Lok Yun coldly.
