Twin Heroes

Chapter 18

And true enough, Xiao Yu’er was carried to Jiang Bie He’s bedroom, and tucked in his bed.

Xiao Yu’er himself opened the “love handcuff”, but right away his important pressure points were blocked by Jiang Bie He.

Now the young man lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He was so frustrated that he purposely not thinks about anything. He counted sheep, one, two, three sheep, four, five….so he wouldn’t think about other things.

By counting sheep he was hoping that sleep would come, because by being in a deep sleep he doesn’t need to worry about life and death. He went on counting and continued on, but though he counted sheep till eight thousand six hundred fifty seven, he was still wide-awake.

Because of counting sheep, he thought of Peach Blossoms (Tho Hoa), he thought of Peach Blossoms' (Tho Hoa’s) face red as an apple, and because of that he also thought of Tie Xinlan.

All this time he never knew that the mind can do strange thing. The more you tried not to think of someone, the more the image of that person came into your mind.

“Where is Tie Xinlan at this moment? Maybe she is having a great time chatting with young master Wuque, that polite and handsome young man. And here I am waiting for death to come.

Xiao Yu’er tried to shut his eyes and try not to think of Tie Xinlan, but the image of the young lady came stronger in front of him wearing white with the sun shining on her.

That’s the memory of seeing her for the first time. If there’s no Tie Xinlan, then he wouldn’t have seen that stupid secret treasure map, and if not for the map he would not want to come here.

He forced himself to count sheep again … 8658…8659… but the face of sheep suddenly started to look like the pretty face of Tie Xinlan.

Suddenly there was a shuffling sound outside the window, and soon a sweet smelling smell permeated into the room.

Xiao Yu’er held his breath, he thought, “There it is, finally it’s coming. Jiang Bie He’s calculation turns out to be quite accurate. Ah, I can’t even move one finger, what’s the use of holding my breath.”

Because he was laying down and couldn’t move, Xiao Yu’er could only watched with his eyes half opened.

He saw the window slowly opened, and a shadow quickly slipped in.

That person was wearing a tight black outfit, there was a thin shining sabre on one hand, the movement was light and quick, it seems that the person was quite courageous.

At one time the reflection from the saber happened to shine at the face of the intruder. Xiao Yu’er saw the face and his mouth gaped open with surprise.

The courageous intruder was none other than Tie Xinlan.

Xiao Yu’er wasn’t sure that he was seeing right, maybe his eyes were playing tricks. Could such a coincidence happen in this world?

His eyesight wasn’t playing tricks, that intruder was indeed Tie Xinlan.

She slipped quietly into the room. Seeing a person lying on the bed, without looking any closer Tie Xinlan quickly sprung forward, with the sabre lifted up high ready to strike the head on the pillow.

Because he couldn’t make any noise nor make any movement, Xiao Yu’er became quite worried and sad at the same time. Who knew what other feeling came into his mind. It was hard to believe that he had to die under Tie Xinlan’s hand, is life playing a game on him?

Jiang Bie He and Jiang Yulang at that moment were standing outside the door, spying to see what was going on. As soon as the lady’s saber had done the job they would barge in…. It seemed that Tie Xinlan had started swinging the saber down, and Xiao Yu’er’s head would soon be separated from his body.

At the critical moment there was a quiet snapping sound and the saber Tie Xinlan was about to swing down broke in two mysteriously.

Naturally both Jiang Bie He and Jiang Yulang were shocked, “Who would have such high level of kungfu” they wondered.

Tie Xinlan was just as shocked, her face paled, and she stepped back and was ready to run away.

At that moment someone flew in through the window so light and quick like a leaf blown by the wind.

Under the twinkling of the stars one could see a glimpse of this person wearing long white attire, his face smiling and benevolent, under the dim lighting he looked like a god coming down from heaven, his charisma was so strong, it’s hard to figure what caused the charisma.

Jiang Bie He was also taken by the person’s charisma, so valiant and poise, he stood in awe. He couldn’t remember any young pugilist in Jianghu as impressive as this.

With just one look Xiao Yu’er recognized the newcomer instantly and he almost fainted because of it.

Obviously that person was none other than Hua Wuque alias Master Wuque, just like his name, Wuque which meant no flaw.

Without realizing it, Tie Xinlan moved back two steps, and with a hoarse voice she said, “Oh, it’s you? Why ..why are you here..?”

“Yes, it’s me,” replied Hua Wuque with a smile. “Since yesterday you were searching for ‘Ji Ming Wu Gu Fan Hun Xiang’ (Soul-Returning Incense of the Five Calls of the Fowl or loosely translated, incense that makes you sleep till the next morning ), I felt suspicious what you are up to. Therefore these two days I followed you secretly.

Tie Xinlan stomped her foot and said angrily, “Why are you following me and why did you prevent me from killing him?”

”Everyone in Jianghu says that ‘Jiangnan Da Xia’ is a benevolent knight, if you are angry at him there’s still no need to kill him,” spoke Master Wuque gently.

“But…do you know that …my father…was killed by him?” shouted Xinlan trembling.

At that moment Jiang Bie He opened the door and walked in with a surprise and shock in his face, he pretended to be confused with what Tie Xinlan said. He greeted them and asked with a smile, “Who are you two young people? In my entire life I’ve been careful not to kill innocent people, where did you hear this slander? Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.

Tie Xinlan’s eyes were red, and she screamed with anger, “My father left a secret code, telling me that he came here to look for you. Since then he never came back, that means either he’s still here or you have killed him.”

“Miss, and you are?” asked Jiang Bie He.

“My surname is Tie, my father is ‘Wild Lion’ Tie Zhan,” answered Xinlan loudly.

“Oh, so you are Miss Tie,” said Jiang Bie He with a laugh, “I give you my word that Elder Tie had never came here. Just think logically, if I had killed Elder Tie then it would be big news, even if I tried to keep it a secret that would be hard to fool the folks of Jianghu, with so many people with keen nose for news. Moreover if I really killed Elder Tie, why should I keep it a secret.”

What Jiang Bie He said was reasonable. One needed to know that “Wild Lion” Tie Zhan, was one of the Ten Evil.

It’s understood that there were many people in Jianghu that wanted the death of Tie Zhan and the other Ten Evil. So if there’s someone able to kill him, not only would it make news in Jianghu and cause many to celebrate, but would cause people to praise whoever did it. So if it really happened, it’s inconceivable that it would be kept a secret. Although what Jiang Bie He said was rather insulting, but there was some truth in it.

Unfortunately just like her father, Tie Xinlan was quick tempered and impulsive. Although she came for revenge and if needed to fight till death, but whether her father was indeed killed there or not, she wasn’t sure herself.

Jiang Bie He then turned and greeted Young Master Wuque, “Young sir, you are like a pearl in the world of Jianghu, I’ve been roaming in wulin for decades yet I’ve never seen an impressive pugilist as young as you. If it’s no trouble, may I know your honorable name?

With a smile Young Master Wuque replied, “I am Hua Wuque and you sir..?”

“I’m Jiang Bie He,” answered Jiang Bie He and made a gesture of respect.

Tie Xinlan jumped with shock and spoke out, “Hey, if you’re Jiang Bie He, then who’s the person sleeping in the bed?”

Secretly Jiang Bie He was amused to see how reckless Tie Xinlan was. On the outside she look so gentle, yet her action was rash and careless, it took her until now to ask who the person sleeping in the bed was.

Suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he quickly approach the bed and slowly tap Xiao Yu’er’s shoulder and answered, “This young man is the son of my late dear friend, he came from afar, therefore I let him sleep in my bed. My good nephew, get up quickly and meet Young Master Hua.”

At the same time he released the pressure points on Xiao Yu’er, but left his hand threatening the fatal pressure point, guarding if Xiao Yu’er dared to say something disadvantage towards him. He would then let his energy flow into the pressure point so Xiao Yu’er couldn’t talk anymore, meaning death.

“Young people like to sleep soundly, why do you need to wake him up,” laughed Hua Buque.

Part of Xiao Yu’er’s head was hidden by the pillow, he suddenly spoke, “I’ve been awake for a while, only I’m too lazy to chat them.”

Jiang Bie He frowned and reprimanded, “Hey, how could you speak so rudely?”

“Who in this Jianghu world doesn’t know that you are a benevolent knight,” said Xiao Yu’er. “But they in turn is accusing you of killing someone without reason. People who are not wise couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong, so why should I waste my time talking to them.”

At first Jiang Bie thought with his life threatened, at the most Xiao Yu’er would only do greeting formalities. Who would have guessed that this young man would suddenly say something in his defense, this was beyond his calculation.

Naturally Jiang Bie didn’t know that the person that Xiao Yu’er most afraid of was not him, but that handsome Young Master Wuque.

At that momentTie Xinlan spoke out, “Hey, you…you..” She quickly glanced at Young Master Wuque and continued on softly, “If… you really didn’t kill my father, then it’s settled. We will be going now.”

Jiang Bie He was astounded. Why would the reckless and impulsive young miss suddenly changed and became docile.

Jiang Bie He nor Young Master Buque didn’t realize what's happening. Xiao Yu’er tried to disguise his voice by speaking with a hoarsely. Tie Xinlan had been with this young man for so long, in fact had fallen in love and was pining for him day and night. Naturally she could recognize Xiao Yu’er’s voice although that young man had tried to disguise his voice.

With shock and happiness she called out to him, but stopped half way as she remembered that if Young Master Wuque recognized that the young man on the bed as Xiao Yu’er, he would be in grave danger.

That’s the reason she wanted Hoa Wuque to go quickly.

The relation between these your people was really complex, no matter how sharp Jiang Bie He was, he had not the slightest inclination. He could only laugh and said, “So happen Young Master Hua, that you are here, how could you leave in a hurry?”

Hua Wuque laugh and answered, “I’ve heard and admired Jiangnan Da Xia’s name for quite sometimes, and would like to ask for some pointers, only…”

Secretly Xiao Yu’er was relieved when he saw Hua Wuque was about to leave, but now it sounded as if he’s going to stay longer, he got so nervous that he quickly said, “If you really want to meet Uncle Jiang, it’s only polite to wait until morning, then you can come visit. Now it’s in the middle of the night, where is your manner?”

Hua Wuque’s face changed and asked, “Who are you, actually?”

Tie Xinlan quickly pulled Hua Wuque’s arm and said, “Don’t mind who he is, let’s just go quickly!”

Half force she pulled Hua Wuque out the window, but just as she let out a sigh of relief, suddenly there was a blur of a shadow and Hua Wuque had disappeared. When she turned around, that young man was by the bedside.

Almost all of Xiao Yu’er’s face was covered by the pillow, secretly he cursed himself for being so dumb.

Seeing Hua Wuque left and came back, naturally got Jiang Bie He lost, not knowing what’s going on.

He saw Hua Wuque became serious and asked slowly, one word at a time, “It this person Jiang Yu?”

Jiang Bie He was stunned, he answered with a quirk, “Hehe, does Young Master Hua know this good nephew of mine?

Hua Wuque let out a long sigh and said happily, “Hah, great, great, you didn’t die after all.”

Seeing this young person so happy, never could he imagine that the happiness was because Hua Wuque felt that now he could kill Xiao Yu’er with his own hand, on the contrary he thought that this young man was a close friend of Xiao Yu’er. With a laugh he explained, “Naturally he is not dead, I wouldn’t allow anybody to kill him.”

“You would not allow?” clarified Hoa Buque coldly.

Seeing his strange behavior, Jiang Bie He was rather puzzled.

At that moment suddenly Xiao Yu’er jumped out of bed and hid behind Jiang Bie He, he mocked at Hua Wuque and laughed, “You heard it yourself, whoever wanted to kill this good nephew of Jiangnan Da Xia, he could only dream of it.”

“I have admiration and respect for Jiang Da Xia, but I have to kill this person regardless,” said Hua Wuque calmly.

Again Jiang Bie He was stunned, he asked, “You…you want to kill him?”

“Yes, whether I want it or not I have to kill him,” said Hua Wuque regretfully.

Jiang Bie He stared at Hua Wuque, and then glanced at Xiao Yu’er for a while, secretly he sighed, “This is very bad, in the end I still got trick by this little devil.”

He realized since he had spoken, in accordance to his good name and position, he could not allow this “nephew” of his be killed in his presence.

Seeing Jiang Bie He not knowing what to do, actually Xiao Yu’er was greatly elated, but he pretended to be concerned and said, “Uncle, I feel that you shouldn’t help me in this matter. That man’s kungfu is very good and you are not his equal. If you do not help then Jianghu community won’t be able to mock you.

Xiao Yu’er purposely stress on the phrase “mock you” with louder voice, because he knew if Jiang Bie He did not move and allow Hoa Buque to kill him, then his hard earned title “Jiangnan Da Xia” would be mud.

Naturally Jiang Bie He knew well Xiao Yu’er’s ploy, he was so frustrated that he felt that his head was going to explode, but on the outside he looked unperturbed, and with a smile he said, “Does Young Master Hua truly intend to make things difficult for me?”

“I suggest that you think about it,” said Hua Wuque with authority.

“If that is the case, with much regret I…”

Before Jiang Bie He finished his sentence, Jiang Yulang suddenly barged in while clutching his stomach, his face ashen and his body trembling.

“The wine…the wine he brought was laced with poison!” choked Jiang Yulang while pointing at Xiao Yu’er.

Jiang Bie He’s facial expression immediately changed, he turned to Xiao Yu’er and glared at him. With an angry voice he shouted, “We, son and father, received you with open arms, why do you want to harm us? No wonder, you didn’t… didn’t drink a drop of wine, your wine was poisoned!”

The change of event not only was beyond Hua Wuque’s expectation, but even Xiao Yu’er was stunned.

But he quickly understood the situation, and he cursed secretly, “You slime, how deceitful and knifing your ploy…”

Jiang Yulang’s trickery was really superb, the situation changed 180 degrees, now Jiang Bie He didn’t need to stop Hua Wuque from killing Xiao Yu’er, because they now on the same side wanting Xiao Yu’er’s death.

Jiang Bie He took out his sword and scolded, “I treated you as my own child. Who could have guessed that you were after this precious sword that you were willing to poison me… You monster with an animal heart, you ungrateful creature, if..if I let you live, who knows how many people will be the victim of your evil deed. For the happiness of families and the peace in world of Jianghu I have to annihilate you.” After speaking, with a quick movement he aimed at Xiao Yu’er’s chest.

As he made the move to attack, unexpectantly Hua Wuque jumped forward and held Jiang Bie He’s arm gently.

Again Jiang Bie He was shocked at the quickness of that handsome youth, besides that he couldn’t understand why suddenly Hua Wuque would block his attack, didn’t Hua Wuque wanted to kill Xiao Yu’er?

“Young Master Hua, what…what’s going on?” he asked confused.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” replied Hoa Buque. “It’s because I have to kill him with my own hands.”

Suddenly Jiang Yulang screamed and collapsed.

Right away Jiang Bie He clutched his stomach and groaned, he said with a sad smile, “If..if that’s so, you go ahead, I…” before he could finished his sentence he staggered and collapsed into a chair.

Hua Wuque sigh, he took out a small porcelain bottle and gave it to Jiang Bie He, “Here are two types of pills, Siau-cu-hiang (goddess incense) and Soh-li-tan (pure virgin pill), you burn one and inhale, while the other one you drink, the combination of these two can detoxify all kinds of poison under the sky. I hope that it would benefit you. I’m sorry that I couldn’t stay any longer.

Even though Hua Wuque was speaking to other people and doing things, but he never left his gaze from Xiao Yu’er. He was tricked once, Xiao Yu’er was able to give him a slip. A mule would never fall into the same pit twice, so Hoa Bueque didn’t fancy of repeating the incidence last time where Xiao Yu’er was able to escape, so he didn’t dare to let down his guard.

It seemed that Xiao Yu’er also realized that this time he could not hope to escape, so he sat down on the bed cross legged. He looked at Hua Buque and laughed, “I have to congratulate you for the fact that I wasn’t killed.”

“That’s right, it’s my luck that you were not killed by somebody else,” replied Hua Buque laughing.

“If other people heard our conversation, they would assume that you’re my wife disguising as a man. The fact that I congratulate you because I didn’t get killed.”

Hua Buque didn’t get riled up, he laughed nonchalantly and replied, “Later when I’ve killed you, they would know that their assumption was dead wrong.”

“Are you dead sure that you could kill me?”

“Even if you wanted to kill yourself, that wouldn’t be possible.”

“Is that so?” Xiao Yu’er asked, raising his eyebrow.

Calmly Hua Buque answered, “With a distance as close as this, just a slight movement of someone’s hand, I would be able to hit the eighteen pressure points (Hiat-to) on both of your arms before that person could complete his movement.

He talked nonchalantly as if he’s chatting about something trivial and easy to do, but Xiao Yu’er believed him, what was said was no empty threat and no boasting matter.

Tie Xinlan was standing outside the window during the conversation, suddenly she vibrated her thin saber till it made a humming sound. She had a pair of saber at first, but one was broken, so there was only one left.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyeballs, suddenly he thought of an idea and he said with a laugh,, “It is not proper for you to kill me here.”

“Any place is fine with me,” replied Wuque.

“Do you dare to let me walk outside alone?”

“Why? Do you think you could run away?” asked Hua Wuque smiling.

“Why are you thinking that far? I just want to walk on my own without you carrying me.”

After saying that he jumped off the bed, for a moment he looked at Jiang Bie He and Jiang Yulang. If it were someone else, that person would have exposed the father and son’s pretense.

However, Xiao Yu’er didn’t bother to do that. He knew that it would just be a waste of time and energy. If he could convince Hua Wuque that Jiang Bie He was the vilest and most hypocritical person in the world, still Hua Wuque would want to kill him first, and it would be difficult for him to escape. Furthermore Hua Wuque might not believe him.

Xiao Yu’er stepped outside. The house was an old building where the window was big and low almost like a door. Just one step Xiao Yu’er was outside already. He looked at Tie Xinlan, that young lady was staring at him with her big clear eyes, who knows how many complex and muddled thoughts and emotions going on within her head.

She was still making the saber vibrate till it made a humming sound.

The night wind was blowing gently. Xiao Yu’er continue to walk forward, he didn’t look at Hua Wuque at all, but he was sure that the young man was not too far behind him, he thought there was no use to look behind him.

He walked freely pass Tie Xinlan.

All of a sudden came a flash of the saber movement, Liu-yap-to, the thin saber that Tie Xinlan held, thin as the leaves of the willow tree suddenly came attacking behind Xiao Yu’er.

Naturally Xiao Yu’er knew that the attack was directed to Hua Wuque. Although Hua Wuque’s kungfu was high as the sky he still had to evade the attack. Tie Xinlan’s saber art was counted as high level.

When the flash of the saber came Xiao Yu’er quickly jumped forward. He heard Tie Xinlan shouted, “Catch this…”

It turned out that the half way through the attack suddenly the direction changed, she suddenly threw the Liu-yap-to to Xiao Yu’er. And if that young man could hold a weapon then the incidence of killing himself at Mount Emei last time could be repeated.

Unexpectedly as the saber was in mid air, suddenly there was the sound “ting”, and the saber mysteriously broke into two and fell to the ground.

At that moment all of a sudden Hua Wuque was already behind Xiao Yu’er, and he said calmly as if nothing had happened, “Are you still wanting to walk further away?”

If people didn't know that they were enemy and only heard Hua Wuque's words, people would have thought that they were two good friends going sightseeing. And why not, Hua Wuque was forever courteous, with a smile on his face as if there's no problem between them. In fact, he didn't even glance at Tie Xinlan.

He knew that if he glanced at Tie Xinlan that she would feel embarrass and would have no face to meet him again. In his life Hua Wuque had never hurt the feelings of any women, especially if that woman was Tie Xinlan.

Xiao Yu'er groaned inwardly, he had no choice but to continue walking forward.

Just a few steps, suddenly he spoke exasperatedly, “It seems that you're very kind toward the girls.”

“Yes, that is my habit since I was little,” answered Wuque with a laugh, “It's a hard thing to change a habit, isn't it?”

“But if it's a girl with an ugly face, then what?”

“Just as long it's a girl, beautiful face or ugly, I think I will treat them just the same.”

“Haha, I would like to find a girl with a very ugly face, bald, covered with boils, flat nose, with a cleft lip, lame, and.. and.. rough skin..... Now, I'm interested to see how you would treat her courteously.”

“Oh, too bad most likely you wouldn't have that opportunity,” replied Hua Wuque.

Suddenly Xiao Yu'er sigh and said, “It's amazing and hard to imagine how you could think of killing someone yet without feeling nervous or worried you still could joke and chit chat with the person, that's really hard to imagine.

“To kill and to chit chat ...”

“are two separate things, isn't that what you mean?”

“That right. I myself would love to talk and exchange ideas with you, but the orders I have received dictate me to kill you. Therefore two are two separate things and not related.”

“I still don't understand; how you could separate those two things?”

“It's what I'm taught since I was small.”

“Wow, you are really a good and obedient child.”

Hua Wuque laughed and continued talking, “Are you still wanting to walk further?”

“Yes, actually I would like to keep on walking, in fact to walk as far as possible,” replied Xiao Yu'er with a dry smile. “But since you are the one who wanted to kill me not the other way round, you don't need to ask what I want.”

“Oh, in that case....in that case, let's stop here,” said Hua Wuque softly and a little uneasy.

Xiao Yu'er looked around him, under the twinkling stars, one saw the big silhouette of Mount Ku-san afar, the leaves on the trees were starting to wilt and shed. It's late at night during fall season.

Xiao Yu'er muttered, “It's so strange, it's autumn in Jiang Nan province, how could it be possible that I, Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu'er has to die so soon at such a young age?...”

After Hua Wuque and the other two went far away Jiang Yulang jumped up.

Jiang Bie He also got up, he looked at his son and with a laugh he said, “I didn't expect you to come up with a strategy that's much better than mine, in time of crisis.”

Jiang Yulang looked down and answered, “How could the son be compared to the father. Your son only....”

“In front of your father you don't need to find excuses,” replied Jiang Bie He. “If you are really smarter and wiser than me, I would also be thankful, why would I want to have any ill intention toward you?”

Yulang looked down and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Bie He felt for the small porcelain bottle given by Hua Wuque, and said while knitting his brows, “Xian Zi Xiang and Su Nu Dan... how unexpectedly to find out that young man Hua is a disciple of the floral palace. With the appearance of that young man in Wulin, I have to be more cautious."

"Even though his kungfu is very good, but he doesn't seem to comprehend the intricacies of life, so why worry about him? spoke Yulang.

"That person might seem to be green and stupid, but actually he's very sharp, how could you understand his real personality?" said Jiang Bie He thoughtfully.

"Miss Tie seemed to be like a smart person, but turned out to be rather dumb just like you said, Father," said Yulang with a laugh. "Only... like what she said, did her dad actually ever come here? For sure you didn't kill him?"

Jiang Bie He scoffed, "Even though I have never seen Tie Zhan, the Raging Lion, but a young girl like Miss Tie has the habit of not telling lies."

"If she wasn't lying and you have never seen The Raging Lion, Tie Zhan, how come Miss Tie came to our place looking for her dad?" asked Yulang creasing his forehead.

"That means that the Raging Lion, Tie Zhan, did place a secret code here, and it's possible that he came here in disguise and I was too careless that I didn't see through the disguise."

"But...., but that young girl said that after her father came to our place, he never left this place," said Jiang Yulang.

"That's right, I imagine that it is possible that he is still here," replied Jiang Bie He calmly.

"Still here?" clarified Yulang surprised.

Jiang Bie He snorted then stood up, he then said coldly, "Don't you forget that besides you and me, father and son, there is still another person."

"Hah, does Father mean that deaf and mute old man?" exclaimed Yulang.

"What deaf and mute? Can't someone pretend to be deaf and mute?"

"But...but Father, you had tested him by creeping behind him and suddenly sounding the big gong right by his ear and it was obvious that he didn't hear that awful racket from the gong, in fact he didn't even blink."

"A person that has a strong inner strength even if a mountain slides in front of his eyes wouldn't panic, let alone blinked."

Right away Jiang Yulang said lowering his voice, "Does Father know where he is right at this moment? Maybe he's long disappeared."

But Jiang Bie He spoke louder on purpose and said with a menacing voice, "He thought that I did not suspect him, therefore he is still here right now. Soon we will confront him and we will kill him without giving him any chances to talk. It is better to kill one hundred people than to let one spy escape. Mark my word!"

Jiang Yulang spoke in a low voice fearing that other people might overhear their conversation, but his father on the contrary purposefully spoke out loudly causing him to be surprised and puzzled. If the old man was really pretending to be deaf and mute wouldn't he try to escape upon hearing what his father said? But after rethinking the situation, he understood his father's reasoning. He thought, “It's possible that Father is aware that the deaf and mute grandpa is around, so he spoke out loudly on purpose. If he ran away scared, that proves that he is truly The Raging Lion, Tie Zhan, and it would not be too late to chase after him.”

At the same time Jiang Bie He moved toward the door and “bang!”, suddenly he pushed at the door with force.
