    Thanks, TigerWong. I will only feel gratitude if you help with the translation. The quicker this translation can be finished, the better for the readers.

    Oh, and about Ah Fei saving Li Xun Huan... er... I'm not going to ruin it for you, as much as I want to.

    Thanks.

    I was glad to help Meh finish up Chapter 15 but, sorry to say, I don't know if I'll have time to be doing any more.

    If you really want to know what happens, at least up til Chapter 26 or so, rent the 70s TVB adaptation. It is very accurate.

    Ok... I will have chapter 16 up by tomorrow morning. Yes, I know there's no real point in making this post, but I needed to force myself to get off my lazy butt(metaphorically speaking, as it's not required) and get back to translating.

    Thanks people. I had a great vacation. Visited Beijing, Luo Yang, and Kai Feng. The latter two I'm sure most have not heard of, but they were the capitals of 2 earlier dynasties. Kai Feng is where Justice Bao lived. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

    I also saw some Chinese college campuses, specifically, Qing Hua, Beijing You Dian University(should translate as Main and Communications or something) and Beijing Institue of Technology. All I can say is, THANK GOD I go to school in America. I can't imagine living with 7 other students in a room smaller than my studio. And going to classes with NO air conditioning!!! *shudders*

    Boy do I sound like a spoiled American.

    Chapter 16: [I'll put in the title once I think of a suitable name. If someone can help me, that would be nice. The Chinese is Jia(fake) ren(humane) Jia(fake) yi(justice)]

    There’s no one guarding the door. Maybe no one expected Ah Fei to come in the daytime. Or maybe they just want to take a nap.

    This storage room has just one small window. It’s as dark as most jail cells. By the stacks of firewood lies a person.

    When Ah Fei saw the fur coat, the blood in his chest began to boil. No even he knows why he feels so much friendship to this person.

    He stepped forward and said, “You...”

    Just at this time, a sword sparkled from under the coat!

    This lightning-quick sword stroke totally shocked Ah Fei!

    Not only was it so unexpected, it was also very fast!

    It’s a good thing Ah Fei still has his sword. His sword is even faster, fast beyond belief. Even though that other person attacked first, Ah Fei still gained the initiative.

    Ah Fei’s sword hit the handle of the handle of his opponent.

    That person’s wrist shook, the sword came out of his hand.

    This person is also a top swordsman. Even under such circumstances he still did not falter. With a quick roll, he retreated a few meters. At this time, Ah Fei saw his face. It’s You Long Sheng.

    Ah Fei doesn’t know who he is, so it didn’t affect his concentration. He attacked again, but also began to retreat out the room at the same time. Although his movement very fast, it’s too late.

    A golden sabre and a staff has already blocked his path. Also at this time, many people appeared from behind the stack of firewood. Each with arrows aimed at him. At this distance, these arrows are incredibly deadly.

    No matter how powerful a person is, if he thinks he can leave the room in this situation, then he’s dreaming.

    Tian Qi laughed. “Is there anything you want to say, my friend?”

    Ah Fei sighed. “Go ahead.”

    Tian Qi said, “You don’t waste any time, do you. Fine, I’ll grant you your wish!”

    He waved his hand, and those arrows shot out of those people’s hands like rain.

    Just at this time, Ah Fei suddenly rolled on the ground. His left hand picked up the sword dropped by You Long Sheng. As the swords danced in his hand, the arrows bounced off. In an instant, he reached the door.

    Zhao Zheng Yi let out a roar, his golden sabre came piercing down at Ah Fei.

    Yet before his stroke connect, he saw a flash of light in front of him.

    This sword stroke is amazingly fast.

    When Zhao Zheng Yi tried to adjust, it was too late. The sword has penetrated his throat. Blood spilled out.

    Tian Qi stuttered a bit.

    But at this time, Ah Fei had left the room.

    Tian Qi wanted to chase after Ah Fei, but then he stopped. Zhao Zheng Yi is still clutching his throat. Amazingly enough, he’s still not dead.

    Ah Fei flew out of the garden. But before he let, he threw You Long Sheng’s sword at Tian Qi.

    Tian Qi wanted to give chase, but thought better of it.

    At this time You Long Sheng let out a long sigh. “This youngster really is incredibly fast!”

    Tian Qi chuckled. “His luck isn’t so bad either.”

    You Long Sheng asked, “Luck?”

    Tian Qi said, “Didn’t you see that two arrows hit his body?”

    You Long Sheng said, “You’re right. His sword strokes is still not perfect. He wasn’t good enough to block all the arrows. But he somehow didn’t injure himself.”

    Tian Qi said, “This is because he was wearing the Golden Thread Vest. I calculated for everything, but somehow forgot about this. Otherwise, he had no chance to leave this room today.”

    You Long Sheng looked at the sword and sighed again. “He shouldn’t have come today.”

    Tian Qi laughed. “Don’t worry too much about losing. Besides, just because he escaped our trap doesn’t mean he can leave here.”

    Just as Ah Fei went out the door, he heard a Buddhist chant. The chant was very loud and seems to be coming from every side.

    Then five monks surrounded him.

    The first one is Reverend Xin Mei.

    Ah Fei surveyed the situation and kept his calm. He simply said, “So even monks will trap people these days.”

    Reverend Xin Mei said slowly. “I do not intend to hurt anyone. You are very witty with words. But words cannot hurt others, just yourself.”

    He said in an even tone. Yet as the words reached Ah Fei’s ears, they shook loudly.

    Ah Fei said, “Looks like someone’s just as good as I am with the way of words!”

    He knows that if he were to escape from above, the reverend’s beads can easily take advantage and cripple his legs. So his only chance is to escape between two monks.

    Yet just as he moved, the monks started to rotate around him. All five moving so fast Ah Fei could not possibly escape.

    Just as Ah Fei stopped moving, so did the monks.

    Reverend Xin Mei said, “As monks we don’t like to kill. You have a sword in your hand and shoes on your feet. If you can break our Luo Han Formation, you may leave.

    Ah Fei started to breathe deeply. His body perfectly still.

    He sees that not only do these monks have incredible kung fu, they also complement each other very well. This formation doesn’t have any weaknesses at all.

    When Ah Fei was nine, he saw a crane being surrounded by a large snake. Although the crane has a sharp beak, it never made a move.

    He originally wondered why. Only afterwards did he found out that the crane knows the snake’s personality. After surrounding the crane, the snake can attack with both his head and tail in a quick and smooth fashion. If the crane attacks the head, then the tail will wrap it. If it attacks the tail, the head can bite it.

    Therefore the crane simply stood there. The snake became impatient and attacked first. Only that way did the crane deter the attack quickly and fought off the snake.

    To counter speed with stillness.


    Therefore, as long as the monks stay still, so will he.

    After a bi, the reverend seemed to have become a bit impatient. “Are you going to give up?”

    “No.”

    Reverend Xin Mei said, “If so, then why don’t you try to leave?”

    Ah Fei said, “You’re not going to kill me, and I can’t kill you. So I can’t leave.”

    Xin Mei chuckled. “If you can kill me, I would have no regrets.”

    Ah Fei said, “Good!”

    With a sudden flash of the sword, Ah Fei attacked Xin Mei.

    The Shaolin monks immediately moved to attack Ah Fei.

    Yet somehow Ah Fei suddenly changed his movement. No one saw how he did it. They just realized that he suddenly turned the other way.

    That stroke was originally aimed at Xin Mei. Now it’s aimed at the fists of the other monks.

    Xin Mei said. “Excellent!”

    As he said the word, he rolled his sleeves. The sleeves of shaolin monks are sharp as knives. He prepared to attack Ah Fei

    Although the other four monks are being attacked, he does not have to help them defend. This is one of the strong points of the Luo Han Formation.

    No one would’ve thought that at this instance, Ah Fei changed his move again.

    When other swordsman switch to a different sword stance, they simply change the direction from which the attack comes from or the attacking point. But Ah Fei could change the direction of his whole body.

    A stroke that originally attack east suddenly attack west.

    Nothing else changed. Just his footwork, with such lightning speed others could not believe what they’re seeing.

    In the next instant, his sword cut through Xin Mei’s sleeves. His sword and body as one entity. So as the sword escaped, so did the body.

    Only to hear Xin Mei said, “Please walk carefully. I’ll send you out.”

    Ah Fei then felt a surge of energy from his back, as if a huge iron rod hit him. Although he’s wearing the Golden Thread Vest, he still could not help feeling much pain.

    One of the monks said, ”After him!”

    Xin Mei said, “No need.”

    The monk said, “He can’t escape very far. Why let him go?”

    “If he can’t escape very far, why bother to chase after him?”

    That monk thought a moment. Then said, “Martial uncle is right.”

    Xin Mei looked in the direction of Ah Fei, then said, “Monks should not hurt others if possible.”

    Tian Qi was looking at the whole event from afar. He suddenly chuckled. “Monks are really great. If others will help them kill people, then they won’t bother.”

    The power of a Shaolin reverend’s palms really are amazing. It took a while for Ah Fei just to get his balance back.

    He realized that he has a major internal injury. But at least this is an injury he can recover from.

    After years of training and hardship, he’s incredibly durable. It’s as if his body is made of steel.

    If Ah Fei really can escape, then he’d be incredibly lucky. There are very few people who could escape from the combined attack of five top Shaolin fighters.

    Except Ah Fei doesn’t really want to escape.

    Where did they hide Li Xun Huan?

    The rest of Chapter 16

    Like an eagle, Ah Fei’s eyes surveyed his surroundings. He quickly dashed to the backyard garden. It’s much easier to hide there.

    Suddenly, he heard a laughter.

    Ahead of him is a pavilion. The person laughing sits there, reading a book. He looks deeply enchanted by the book.

    He’s wearing plain clothing that looks worn-out. His face is skinny and yellow, with a long beard. He looks like an old scholar who doesn’t know how to take care of himself.

    Yet only a top level expert can make his laughter heard from so far away.

    Ah Fei stopped. He stared at this man closely.

    This old man didn’t seem to notice Ah Fei. He turned the page and continued to read intently.

    Ah Fei back stepped. After ten steps, he turned around and flew away. With only two steps he’s already in the plum forest

    Ah Fei took a deep breath, swallowed the blood coming up from his throat.

    He realized that his injury is more serious than he originally thought. It’s unlikely he can still fight in this condition.

    At this moment, he heard a sound of the flute.

    The music is loud and crisp. The plum flowers’ pedals all started dropping around Ah Fei.

    He then saw a person playing the flute under the trees behind him. It’s that old scholar he saw a minute ago.

    Ah Fei did not walk away this time. Looking at the old man, he said, “Mr. Iron Flute?”

    The sound of the flute slowly disappeared.

    He stared at Ah Fei for a long time, then asked suddenly, “You’re injured?”

    Ah Fei was surprised, thinking that this man really has great eyesight.

    Mr. Iron Flute then asked, “Injured on the back?”

    Ah Fei said, “Since you know about the injury, why bother asking?”

    “Xin Mei hurt you?”


    Ah Fei said, “Humph.”

    Mr. Iron Flute shook his head. “Looks like the reverend of Shaolin isn’t all that great.”

    Ah Fei asked, “Why do you say that?”

    Mr. Iron Flute explained. “For someone in his position, he shouldn’t have attacked you from behind. And if he did, he should not have allowed you to live long enough to see me.”

    He suddenly smiled. “Could it be that the this old monk want someone else to help him kill you?”

    Ah Fei said, “Let me tell you three things. First, if he hadn’t attacked me from behind, he would’ve never had a chance to hurt me. Second, even though he hit me, he still couldn’t kill me. Third, you can’t kill me either!”

    Mr. Iron Flute laughed loudly. “You really are very arrogant, young man.”

    He suddenly stopped laughing. “Since you’re hurt, I shouldn’t fight you. But you’re too arrogant, so I have to teach you a lesson.”

    Ah Fei already felt he said too much. He didn’t want to say anything else.

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Because you’re hurt, I’ll let you have the first three moves.”

    Ah Fei looked at him, then suddenly chuckled.

    As he chuckled his sword returned to his waist. Turned around and walked away.

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Now that you’ve met me. Do you really think you can leave alive?”

    Ah Fei didn’t even turn around. He simply said coldly, “If I don’t go, then you have to die!”

    Mr. Iron Flute couldn’t help but laugh. “Who’s dying, you or me?”

    Ah Fei said, “No one could let me have three moves first.”

    “So if I do so, then I have to die?”

    “Yes.”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Then why don’t you try?”

    Ah Fei stopped talking, turned around, staring at him.

    He never saw anyone’s eyes like this.

    This pair of eyes contain no emotions. They seem to be made of stone. When they look you, it’s like a god looking at a mortal being.

    Mr. Iron Flute subconsciously retreated a few steps.

    At this moment, Ah Fei made his move.

    When his sword attacks, it never misses.

    This is Ah Fei’s philosophy. If he didn’t have total confidence, he would not pull out his sword!

    The snowflakes and the plum pedals flew in the air together, creating a beautiful scene. Only to see Mr. Iron Flute’s body flowing and dancing among the falling snow.

    Ah Fei didn’t even look up. His sword returned.

    Mr. Iron Flute flew back down. His decent is very slow, like a piece of paper dropping down. A pool of blood appeared on the snow.

    Ah Fei looked at the snow on the ground, then said, “No one can let me have three moves. Not even one move!”

    Mr. Iron Flute leaned on a tree. His face pale white. His chest full of blood.

    He never had the chance to use his worldly renowned iron flute!

    Ah Fei then said, “But you didn’t die. Because you kept your words.”

    He then chuckled. “At least you’re better than Xin Mei.”

    Xin Mei said he would never hurt Ah Fei. As long as Ah Fei escaped his formation, he can leave. But instead he attacked from behind. This is a lesson Ah Fei swore he’ll never forget.

    Mr. Iron Flute then said, “You still have two more moves.”

    “Two more?”

    Mr. Iron Flute bit his teeth, forcing a smile. “I said three moves. You only used one.”

    Ah Fei looked at him for a while, then replied. “Fine!”

    He attacked slowly and lightly. Two punches that barely landed. “Great. Now I’ve made three...”

    At this moment, he heard a light sound, Ten “Cold Star Thunder Storm Needles” came out of the iron flute!

    Mr. Iron Flute’s pale face suddenly brightened. He said, “Today I learned a lesson. Never let someone have the first three attacks. You should also learn a lesson. That is, if you attack, the opponent better die. Otherwise, don’t bother attacking in the first place!”

    Ah Fei bit his teeth while looking at the needle on his leg. He responded one word at a time. “I’ll never forget this!”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Good. You can leave now.”

    Before Ah Fei could respond, he heard someone yell from afar.

    “Elder. Old Iron Elder. Did you get him?”

    Mr. Iron Flute told Ah Fei, “Hurry. I am unable to kill you, but I also don’t want you to die in someone else’s hands!”

    Ah Fei immediately rolled away.

    His legs cannot move, but his hands can.

    He felt a lot of blood surging from his throat. Although he’s desperately trying to keep it down, it’s all in vain.

    Even if no one chases after him, he knows that he doesn’t have that long to live. He only want to see Li Xun Huan, to tell him that he did his best.

    At this moment, a shadow came quickly towards him.


    There’s only one candle in the room.

    Long Xiao4 Yun looked at Li Xun Huan. He waited for Li Xun Huan to finish coughing, then let him drink another cup of wine.

    After he finished this cup, Li Xun Huan smiled. “Big brother. Noticed that not a drop came out? Even though I’m hanging upside down, I can still drink every drop of wine brought to my mouth.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun wanted to smile, but he couldn’t. “Why don’t you let me unseal your pressure points?”

    Li Xun Huan said, “I can’t stand temptations. If you unsealed my pressure points, I’d probably escape.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “Now... now there’s no one’s here. Don’t you understand what I’m trying to do?’

    Li Xun Huan cut him off, “Big brother. Don’t you understand what I’m trying to do?”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “I know, but...”

    Li Xun Huan smiled. “I know what you want to say. Actually you didn’t do anything wrong. Just for this cup of wine, I’ll never regret our friendship.”.

    End of Chapter 16

    Thanks people for your supports. Here's the first 2/3 of Chapter 17.

    Chapter 17: True Nature Revealed

    After Long Xiao Yun heard these words, he lowered his head for a long time “Tomorrow... tomorrow you’ll be leaving. I...”

    Li Xun Huan said, “Don’t even think about sending me off. I never like to send others off and don’t want others to do the same for me. When I see people’s expressions on such occasions, I just want to vomit.”

    He chuckled. “Besides, I’m not going very far. Maybe I’ll be back in a few days.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun also looked energetic again. “You’re right. When you come back, I’ll definitely welcome you. Then we can get drunk together.”

    Suddenly someone said, “You know perfectly well that he’ll never come back after leaving, why do you still lie to yourself?”

    Lin Shi Yin came in. Her beautiful face looking very frail.

    Li Xun Huan’s heart felt a deep pain. Yet he just kept smiling. “Why won’t I be back? This is the place of all my best friends. I...”

    Lin Shi Yin didn’t let him finish. She just said coldly, “Who’s your friend? You have absolutely no friends here.”

    She suddenly pointed at Long Xiao4 Yun. “You think he’s your friend? If he’s your friend, then he should release you this instant.”

    Long Xiao Yun said, “But he..”

    Lin Shi Yin said, “He’s not leaving because he doesn’t want you in trouble. But why don’t you release him? He can decide whether to escape or not. But you’re the one who decides to release him or not.”

    She didn’t wait for Long Xiao4 Yun to respond, turned around, and left.

    Long Xiao4 Yun stood up and said, “No matter what you want to do, I still should release you.”

    Li Xun Huan started laughing.

    Long Xiao4 Yun looked bewildered. “Wh..why are you laughing?”

    Li Xun Huan said, “Since when did you start taking orders from a woman? The Long Xiao4 Yun I remember is a true man. Not a poor guy afraid of his wife.”


    Long Xiao4 Yun clenched his fists. Tears came out of his eyes. “Brother, you... you’re so good to me. It’s not that I don’t know what you’re thinking. It’s just that how... how can I ever repay you?”

    Li Xun Huan said, “I just happen to need a favor from you.”

    “What do you need? Not matter what you ask, I’ll do as you say.”

    Li Xun Huan said, “Remember that youngster Ah Fei from last night?”

    “Of course.”

    Li Xun Huan said, “If he ends up in some trouble, please take care of him.”

    Long Xiao Yun sighed. “Even under this situation, you’re still looking out for others. Have you ever thought for yourself?”

    Li Xun Huan said, “Just tell me if you’ll do it or not.”

    “Of course I’ll fulfill your request. Except I might never get to see him.”

    Li Xun Huan became shocked. “Why? Could it be that...”

    Long Xiao4 Yun did his best to smile. “You saw him leave yesterday. Why would he come back?”

    Li Xun Huan sighed. “I also wish that he’d never come back, except I know he will.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “If he come to save you, then why is he not here yet?”

    He took a deep breath. “Brother. I know you care about friends more than anything else in the world, but others aren’t all like you.”

    Li Xun Huan tried to smile. “It’s his decision what he wants to do. I just wish big brother to remember that he’s my best friend when you see him.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “Your friend is my friend.”

    Suddenly someone outside yelled, “Fourth Master Long... Fourth Master Long.”

    Long Xiao Yun stood up, then sat back down again. “Brother, you...”

    Li Xun Huan said with a smile, “I don’t need to drink anymore, just go. And don’t forget not to send me off tomorrow.”


    Long Xiao4 Yun walked to the door and saw Tian Qi standing under a tree. He quickly walked over and asked quietly, “Did you get him?”

    Tian Qi said, “No.”

    “What? All those people you sent, plus Reverend Xin Mei and Mr. Iron Flute... couldn’t even take care of a kid?”

    Tian Qi said, “But this kid really is unbelievable. Even a bit scary. Not only did he injure Brother Zhao, he also injured Mr. Iron Flute.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun stomped his feet. “I knew that this kid is not easy to deal with. But you said Mr. Iron Flute can deal with him.”

    Tian Qi said, “Even though he escaped, he did get injured by Xin Mei’s palm.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “In that case, he shouldn’t have escaped very far. Why don’t you chase after him?”

    Tian Qi said, “The Shaolin monks are already doing this. I’ll tell you when I get the good news.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “I’ll go take a look. You get someone to guard here.”

    There’s a fake mountain behind the tree.

    Just as the two of them left, a person appeared from behind the mountain. Her beautiful eyes full of shock and disbelief, and also pain and hate.

    Her whole body kept shaking, tears filled her face.

    Lin Shi Yin’s heart broke into pieces. Then, as if she made an important decision, she began to walk over to Li Xun Huan’s room.

    The she hear several footsteps. Lin Shi Yin immediately hid behind the fake mountain again.

    Tian Qi led eight man here and said, “Guard him. Don’t let anyone in the room, whoever goes in dies.”

    He’s in a hurry to capture Ah Fei. So even before he finish talking, he already left.

    Lin Shi Yin bit her lips. So hard blood came out.

    She hate herself for always not caring about martial arts, never really practice it.

    Now she understood that there are certain things that only fighting can solve.

    She can’t figure out any way to enter that room.

    Suddenly she heard something. The person’s footsteps aren’t methodical, but very fast.

    Lin Shi Yin realized that this Mr. Iron Flute.

    She heard Mr. Iron Flute say loudly, “Is that Li guy in this room?”

    A guard said, “We’re not sure.”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Fine. Let me go in and check.”

    That guard said, “Master Tian said no one can go in.”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Tian Qi? Who cares about him? Do you know who I am?”

    That guard looked at his blood-covered body. “No one can go in.”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “Very well.”

    He raised his hands a bit. The needles shot out.

    Li Xun Huan closed his eyes, as if he’s asleep.

    Suddenly he heard shrieks of pain. The sound was not loud, and quite short.

    He raised his eyebrows. “Is someone trying to save me?”

    Then he saw a man carrying an iron flute walking into the room. His face full of murderous intent.

    Li Xun Huan’s eyes rested on his iron flute. “Mr. Iron Flute.”

    Mr. Iron Flute looked at his face. “Someone sealed your pressure points?”

    Li Xun Huan smiled. “You know that if there’s wine in front of me and I’m not drinking, then I must not be able to move.”

    Mr. Iron Flute said, “If you can’t move, then I really shouldn’t kill you. But I must kill you.”

    “Huh?’

    Mr. Iron Flute stared at him. “You’re not going to ask why?”

    Li Xun Huan chuckled. “If I asked, then you’ll probably get say it and get mad. If I then try to explain, you won’t believe me, and still would kill me. So why bother talking at all?”

    Mr. Iron Flute suddenly looked incredibly sad. “Ru Yi, you really died a horrible death. But now at least I have avenged you.

    He raised his iron flute.

    Li Xun Huan sighed. “Ru Yi, when you see me you’ll definitely be shocked. Because even though you don’t know me, I know you...”

    Suddenly, Lin Shi Yin walked into the room. “Hold on, I have something to say.”

    Mr. Iron Flute turned around in shock. “Mistress? I suggest you don’t interfere with me. No one can interfere.”

    Lin Shi Yin’s face turned green. “I don’t want to prevent you from doing anything. But this is my house. If someone is to be killed I should be the one to do it.”

    “But why do you want to kill him?”

    Lin Shi Yin said, “I have more reasons to kill him than you. You want to kill him to revenge your wife. But I’m doing it for my son. I only have one son.”

    Her point was obvious. You don’t just have one wife.

    Mr. Iron Flute thought for a long time. “Fine, you go first.”

    He’s confident that his iron flute needles are quick as lightning. So even if she goes first, he can still kill him before she does. But as Lin Shi Yin walked past him, she suddenly turned around and attacked.

    Although Lin Shi Yin’s martial arts is fairly low. She’s still not weakling. For this palm she used all her strength. Plus Mr. Iron Flute did not expect it at all, so her attack worked.

    Due to his old injuries which got reopened, his whole body shook, blood came out, and he fainted.

    Lin Shi Yin became startled, and almost faint herself.

    Li Xun Huan knows that she has never so much as stepped on an ant before! Now seeing her hurt someone, he doesn’t know whether to be sad or happy. But he suppressed those emotions and instead simply said, “Why the hell are you here again?”

    Lin Shi Yin took a few deep breaths before she could stop shaking. “I’m here to let you go.”


    Li Xun Huan sighed. “Have I not made myself clear enough? I’m not going.”

    Lin Shi Yin said, “I know you won’t leave because of Long Xiao4 Yun. But you don’t know that he...he..”

    She started to shake again, even worse than last time. She clenched her fists, her nails cutting through her skin. With all her power, she said, “He already betrayed you. They were all in it together.”

    After she said this, she lose all energy. If it weren’t for a chair there, she probably would’ve fallen. She thought Li Xun Huan must be shocked by these words.

    Yet Li Xun Huan didn’t change his expression at all. Not even a tiny bit. Instead he chuckled. “It must be some sort of misunderstanding. How could he betray me?”

    Lin Shi Yin used all her energy to hold the table. The items on the table all shook.

    She said, “I saw this with my own eyes, heard this with my own ears.”

    Li Xun Huan said, “Your eyes and ears are mistaken then.”

    Lin Shi Yin said, “So you don’t believe me?”

    Li Xun Huan said gently, “You’ve been too tired these couple of days. So it’s not a big deal that you’d be deluded. Go take a nap. By this time tomorrow, you’ll realize that your husband’s a good man.”

    Lin Shi Yin looked at him. Her mind lost. After a long time, she suddenly fell onto the table and started to cry.

    Li Xun Huan closed his eyes. He couldn’t bare to look at her. His voice trembling, “Why do you...”

    Before he could finish, he coughed up some blood.

    Lin Shi Yin finally could no longer control herself. Ten years of suppressed emotions all bursted out at this moment.

    She rushed towards Li Xun Huan. “If you don’t go, I’ll die in front of you!”

    Li Xun Huan bit down hard on his teeth. He said slowly. “What does your death have to do with me?”

    Lin Shi Yin looked up at him, staring. Her voice weak. “You... You... You...”


    Every time she spoke, she stepped back a bit. Suddenly, she felt as if she just fell into someone.

    Long Xiao4 Yun’s face looks heavy as iron.

    He tightly wrapped his hands around her waist. As if afraid that should he release her, she’d disappear from his life forever.

    Lin Shi Yin saw his hands. Regaining her senses, she said coldly, “Release your hands. And please remember to never ever touch me again.”

    He finally released his hands, looking at her. “So you know everything?”

    Lin Shi Yin said coldly, “There’s no everlasting secret in this world.”

    “You.. You already told him?”

    Li Xun Huan suddenly smiled. “Actually, she didn’t need to tell me. I already knew everything.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun originally couldn’t face him. Only now did he raise his head. “You knew?”

    “Yes.”

    “When?’

    Li Xun Huan sighed. “When you held my hand, and allowed Tian Qi to seal my pressure points. But... even though I knew it was you, I don’t blame you.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “If you knew, why didn’t you say it?”

    “Why do I need to say it?”

    Lin Shi Yin looked at Li Xun Huan. “You didn’t say it because of me, right?”

    Li Xun Huan raised his eyebrows. “Because of you?”

    Lin Shi Yin said, “You don’t want to hurt me, or break up this family. Because this family was your..”

    She couldn’t finish. Tears filled her face.

    Li Xun Huan suddenly burst out laughing. “Why do women always think everything revolves around them? I didn’t it say it because it’s pointless. I didn’t leave because I knew they won’t let me.”


    Lin Shi Yin said, “It doesn’t matter what you say now. Because I already know...”

    Li Xun Huan said, “What do you know? Do you know why he did that? He was afraid that I’d break up your family. That’s why he did what he did! Because he views his family as being more important than anything else in the world. He feels that you are the most important person in his life.”

    Lin Shi Yin stared at him, then also suddenly burst out laughing. “He ruined you, yet still help him? Great. You really are a great friend. But don’t you realize that I’m also a person? How could you do this to me?”

    Li Xun Huan began to cough endlessly, coughing up blood everywhere.

    Long Xiao4 Yun lost all his control and started to yell. “I was originally the head of this family. But once you came, I feel like a guest. I had a great son. But when you came, he became crippled.”

    Li Xun Huan sighed. “You’re right. I really shouldn’t have come.”

    Lin Shi Yin closed her eyes. Tears covered all parts of her face. “If you thought of me for even one instant, you shouldn’t have done this.”

    Long Xiao4 Yun said, “I know. But I’m just too scared.”

    Lin Shi Yin asked, “Scared of what?”

    Long Xiao Yun said, “I’m scared that you’d leave me. Because even if you don’t say it, I still know that you... you haven’t forgotten him. I’m afraid you’ll go back into his arms.”

    Lin Shi Yin suddenly jumped up and yelled, “Get your hands off of me! Not only are you a vicious person, but what kind of person did you think I am? What kind of a person did you think he is?”

    She dropped to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, “Did you forget that I... I am your wife?”

    Long Xiao4 Yun just stood there like he’s made of wood. Only his tears are moving.

    Li Xun Huan looked at them, thinking to himself, “Just who’s fault is this? Who was wrong...”
