Fu Hiong Kun was deeply moved. Her tears flowed profusely. But his feelings heard Song Ngo Lin's statement. Even though the young man was also only drawing conclusions from his own thoughts, he believed that that was the case. Moreover, if you think back on Tok Ku Bwee's hard heart, it is indeed impossible for him to be willing to use himself as a weapon to suppress Song Ngo Lin. Finally he nodded his head.
"Thank you. Lin Toako. You are very kind. Even though it was your own sister who suffered the disaster, you still think long and hard for me. I don't know how to repay the kindness we have received so much."
"Hiong Kun, when we talk about kindness, all matters cannot be resolved. I owe you even more. If it weren't for you trying to get Soat lian from Ping san, today I would still be a crippled human who can't do anything "Sometimes I even think things like that might be better. If my martial arts skills haven't recovered, surely your Yaya won't die in my hands and Han supek?"
“No, Lin Toako,” Fu Hiong Ku n shook his head. “All of this is fate. My grandfather had indeed lost once. If he doesn't die by your hand, he will surely die by someone else's hand as a result of his own actions. We don't need to prolong this problem anymore. What matters is your answer regarding Gihu's last request."
Song Ngo Lin took a deep breath. "Right now I can't fulfill his request. Let Cung Kok Suheng who replaces Han supek take care of Wudang for a while. I want to go down the mountain for a few months. I have something to finish. I hope you are willing to help Yo Suheng here, Hiong Kun. After my business finished, I will come back again and determine who is entitled and deserves to be the next generation Ciang bun jin."
Hiong Kun was surprised to hear Song Ngo Lin's words. “Lin Toako, what other business do you have to take care of?”
Song Ngo Lin didn't want to say it frankly.
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter. You don't need to worry. Please tell Yo Suheng that I will be leaving right now. I don't think anything will harm Wudang anymore. At least for the time being."
Song Ngo Lin took a deep breath then took a few steps. Suddenly he turned his head once again. “Hiong Kun, take good care of yourself!”
Fu Hiong Kun nodded his head. Her tears flowed even harder. He didn't dare to ask what business Song Ngo Lin would settle, but he was secretly worried. He was afraid that the business Song Ngo Lin would settle would cause his internal injuries to recur because the young man's health had not fully recovered. But he was also aware that Song Ngo Lin's determination was irreversible. He was forced to watch Song Ngo Lin's departure with tears in his eyes.
––––––––
The building is magnificent. It is located in the city of kings. The one who lived in it turned out to be the Emperor's adviser at that time. Bodyguards in dashing uniforms stood in a row at the door.
Not to mention the maids who were pacing back and forth in the building. Needless to say, the owner of this building must be very rich. The garden alone is the size of an ordinary resident's house. And there is a clear pond with colorful fish swimming in it.
The owner of the building was named Kan Han Beng, usually called Kan taijin. He was a very powerful official in the king's city. His attitude was very firm.
His face is dignified. But he has a very kind heart. He hates to see something that is unfair. Therefore. many corrupt officials secretly dislike him. Kan taijin of course knows. but he said nothing.
He had yet to get clear evidence to reveal their crime in front of the Emperor.
Kan Taijin has already ordered some of his trusted people to investigate the cases of those people. There was one person he deeply suspected. He is the chief commander who handles the bodyguards in the kingdom. There is only one thing that weighs heavily on Kan Taijin's heart. The person named See bun To was very loved by the Emperor. His job was indeed well done. What made Kan taijin suspicious was the fact that people from the kangouw world often went in and out at See bun To's residence. If lured by Kan taijin. he always makes excuses that he is indeed a sociable person in society. He likes to be friends with anyone. The problem is that Kan taijin can see that the people of the kangouw world who go in and out of See bun To's house are a group of humans who have fierce faces and are unsightly.
One look, it is certain that they consist of leaders of heretical groups. Wouldn't it be strange for a commander-in-chief within the palace to associate with such people?
That was why Kan Taijin's suspicions were getting deeper and deeper every day. He was curious to find out what See bun To was actually doing with those people. He ordered his trusted men to increase surveillance at the chief commander's house.
There is still one more thing that bothers Kan Taijiu's mind, namely See bun To's unreasonable wealth. He had indeed admitted that his parents were very rich billionaires and when they died they bequeathed all their wealth to him. This story is also not fully believed by Kan taijin. He suspected that See bun to was doing dark business with the people of the kangouw world. Maybe that's why they often walk up and down in the palace-like building of his house.
It seemed unreasonable for a friend who lived so far away to visit him several times a year.
Kan taijin himself is a royal official from generation to generation. He is also very rich. But when compared with See bun To, his wealth is still far away. Though the position is higher. Unfortunately Kan taijin is not a person of the kangouw world. He did not know the figures who frequently visited See bun To. He had only ever met a few of them. Look at their sharp eyes. The taijin, who have eaten a lot of salt and sour, can immediately confirm that their martial arts skills are quite high.
Today, as usual, Kan Taijin sat in the front yard of his house which was a large garden. The white snow covered the tall trees making for a beautiful sight. Kan taijin really likes to enjoy fragrant tea while enjoying a view like that.
A beautiful girl walked up to him guided by a maid. Heard the sound of footsteps coming. Kan Taijin turned his head. Soat ji, how are you today? he asked softly.
"It's a bit strong. Father...." said the girl softly.
Kan taijin looked at the girl with affectionate eyes. The maid helped a girl named Kan Soat Cu sit beside Kan Taijin. The girl is the only daughter of Kan Taijin. His body was sickly since childhood. But neither the Kan taijin nor the mistress loved the girl very much.
Kan taijin glanced at the maid who guided Kan Soat Cu. "Is Ong taihu (Healer Ong) still not here?"
The maid shook her head. "Maybe today Ong Taihu has a lot of patients so it's a bit late to come."
"Okay." Kan taijin flicked his sleeve. "You may enter now."
The servant immediately agreed and then withdrew. Kan Soat Cu looked at the scenery around him in awe.
"Tia, you gave the name Soat Cu to the child, is it because the child is born in winter?"
Kan taijin laughed widely. "That's right, Tia and your mother were married for over eight years, just got you a child.
Coincidentally, it was winter. That's why you were named Soat Cu (Pearl of the winter)."
––––––––
Kan Soat Cu smiled sweetly. A pair of dimples adorned his cheeks. The face that was indeed beautiful looked even more beautiful.
"Sometimes children like to imagine how happy it would be if children had brothers or sisters.
At least you have a friend to play with. Aih ... but a child's body since childhood is very weak. Sometimes the child even feels regretful that he was born so that the father and mother are always reaching their hearts thinking about the health of this child who is not recovering."
Kan taijin stroked his daughter's hair. “Soat ji, don't say that. Tia feels lucky to still have a daughter who is as beautiful as you, regarding your body's health, Tia is sure that one day Thian will reach out his hand so that we can find an elixir that can improve your health."
Kan Soat Cu seemed to want to say something. But suddenly two of his father's bodyguards rushed into the courtyard. Kan Taijin was also surprised. He immediately suspected that something untoward had happened. "What's wrong? What are you tired of going on?" he asked nervously.
"Report, taijin! Kim Suwi and Long Suwi who were assigned to deliver the letter to the south have returned. However, they have something quite urgent to say," one of the guards reported.
Kan taijin's face grew more panicked. "What thing? Where are they now? Get them in quickly!"
The two bodyguards immediately agreed and withdrew. After a while, two more bodyguards entered. They immediately bowed respectfully to Kan Taijin.
"Wake up... wake up! No need to prepare much! What's the matter? What urgent matter do you want to convey?"
"Taijin's report! Actually this matter has nothing to do with Taijin,but we don't dare act recklessly so decided to report this matter to Taijin for Taijin to decide…”
Kan Taijin's heart was somewhat relieved to hear the statement of the two people. "Oh? What problem exactly are you guys having? Tell me, let me consider it carefully."
"Look, Taijin. When our ship was crossing the southern seas, we found a girl stuck on a rock in a dying state. We put her on board. It turned out that the girl still had hope to live, but her condition was very serious. Until now she still not conscious either, even though we found him six days ago.We are getting confused.
Let it go, we can't bear it. Bringing it home will definitely cause trouble. So ... "
Kan Soat Cu's eyes widened at the guard's words. "Tia, what a pity for that girl. Just bring her here. Tell Ong Taihu to see how she is."
Kan Taijin nodded his head repeatedly. "Hm ... I don't know who that girl is. It's really a pity. Your actions are very commendable. Now where is the girl?"
"In the carriage outside the building, we didn't dare bring him in here before getting permission from Taijin."
"Bring it in right now. Sleep in the guest room. In a moment, when Ong taihu arrives, tell him to check his condition carefully!"
The girl was still unconscious when Ong Taihu examined her. Kan taijin and Kan Soat Cu stood aside with tense hearts. The girl was still very young. Her face is so pretty. His clothes were torn here and there, a little blood on the crown of his head. Maybe because it hit a rock. Precisely this is what Ong Taihu is worried about. He shook his head repeatedly.
"This girl can recover to health, but the head wound is quite bad. Cayhe is afraid that if she wakes up later, she will be affected by a disease called memory loss." Ong Taihu said explaining.
"If that's true in the end, of course we'll be in trouble too. How can we know who this girl is?
Surely her parents will be worried about their missing daughter." Kan Taijin said confused.
Soat Cu instead has a different opinion.
"Tia, don't think about anything else first. Let's save this girl's life first. When she wakes up, we'll see what happens next."
Kan Taijin pensive for a moment. Then he nodded his head. "Very well. Please Ong Taihu give him a prescription so his health can quickly recover!"
"Don't worry Taijin Kan. Cayhe will give him a prescription. The medicine must be fed to him. He will wake up by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. But please remember carefully. Don't shock him too much when he wakes up, fearing he will go into a deep shock." and his brain can't function again forever."
Kan Taijin nodded his head. "I'll have Cao Popo wait for him here."
Cao popo was Kan Soat Cu's caretaker since childhood. Now the girl has grown up. He prefers to be accompanied by Cing Cing, a girl his age who always guides him everywhere. Kan Soat Cu is a gentle girl. Moreover, he has a brother. Because of that, his father took an orphan to be a friend to him.
Seeing the girl who was helped by her father's two bodyguards. Kan Suat Cu immediately liked. The girl was very beautiful but her face showed deep sorrow. he wondered. Who is that girl really? Soat Cu, whose body is weak, was never allowed by his father to do any work. His mother had died three years ago. As a girl entering her teens, she grew lonelier. Now he can no longer express his feelings to Cing Cing. She is indeed very familiar with her servant, but Cing Cing also doesn't have as much experience about the outside world as he does. Since childhood, Kan Soat Cu never went anywhere.
It's not that his father or mother didn't invite him, but his health didn't allow it.
Now, with that girl, he became busy. Not as busy as other people do, but it is the brain that is busy working. He kept thinking about the girl. Judging from the material of the clothes she was wearing, the girl was not from a poor family. One thing is certain that the girl is also a Han nation like him. But this country is so big. Who can tell where the girl is from. Indeed his body was found in the southern ocean. But what else can determine where he had an accident until he was stranded in that place.
It seemed he would have to wait until the girl regained consciousness. But when he recalled Ong Taihu's words that there was a possibility that the girl would experience memory loss, his mind became chaotic again. Now the first thing he had to do was find his father.
With that thought, Kan Soat Cu went straight to his father who was in the library room. His father loved to read. When he had free time, he would lock himself in the room. Especially since his mother died.
Kan Soat Cu's guess was correct. Kan taijin was sitting on a chair behind a large table. He was engrossed in reading. To the extent that his daughter was already behind him, he still didn't notice.
"Tia...." said Soat Cu slowly.
Kan taijin flinched from his preoccupation. He smiled seeing Kan Soat Cu who entered the room.
"What's wrong Soat ji?"
"There's one thing I want to talk to Tia about."
Kan taijin closed the book in his hand and put it back on the big shelf beside him. There are various types of books. Not a few are very rare.
"Well, what do you want to talk to your father here?"
"The girl who was helped by Tia's two bodyguards keeps bothering me. The child wants permission from Tia so that she is allowed to stay in this house if she realizes later the situation is exactly what Ong Taihu said."
"Why do you suddenly have such considerations?"
Kan taijin smiled faintly. "It must have something to do with what you said the other day, right?"
"Akh.... Tia always teases. Kids talk seriously. She
still so young. He is at most one to two years old with the child. If he really forgets his memory and leaves this place, the child is worried that he will fall into the hands of bad people and he will definitely experience terrible things."
Kan taijin's face turned serious.
"Soat ji, you don't need to worry. Helping people is a good deed. If things were like what Ong Taihu said, Tia would definitely allow him to stay here until his memory recovers."
Kan Soat Cu's face immediately beamed when he heard that his request was granted. "Thank you. Tia, the children now want to see how things are. Later the children will come here again to accompany Tia."
Kan Taijin nodded his head. Kan Soat Cu rushed out of the room. But just as he reached the door, he turned his head back. "Tia, what you said is true. The child's request had something to do with what the child said in the flower garden yesterday," he said with a smile.
Kan taijin shook his head at his daughter's childish behavior. He had already expected that her presence would definitely make his daughter's heart even happier. He repeatedly said how happy he would be if he had a cici or sister. It seemed that now he had a cici magically appear in his house.
––––––––
The girl blinked her eyes several times. This must have been caused by the sunlight shining through the window. Cao Popo who was in charge of waiting for him immediately approached the bedside.
“Siocia, are you awake?” he asked gently.
The girl was trying to get up. But his head felt dizzy.
Cao Popo hastened to help him. "Siocia, don't get up yet. Siocia just woke up after fainting for more than a week. Siocia's health hasn't recovered yet. Lie down again, Popo will get some porridge for you."
The lips moved. It looked like the girl wanted to say something, but her throat felt dry, she couldn't say anything. Cao Popo took a cup and filled it with warm tea water. He helped the girl drink little by little.
"Where am I?" asked the girl with a trembling voice.
Not to mention that Cao Popo had the chance to answer him, Kan Soat Cu had already stepped into the room. He was very happy to see the girl was awake. He motioned for Cao popo to move a little. He wanted to say hello to the girl.
"Miss, you are now in my house. Don't be afraid. Your wound is quite bad. Don't move much," said Kan Soat Cu with great concern.
The girl blinked again a few times. It wasn't long before he was able to adjust to the light he hadn't seen in a long time.
"How is Kouwnio feeling now?" asked Kan Soat Cu once again.
The girl just nodded her head slightly.
"What's Kouwnio's name? Of course, if Kouwnio doesn't mind telling siaumoay."
The girl's eyes widened. A moment later he stared at Kan Soat Cu closely. Finally he shook his head. "I... I don't... know. My... mind seems to go blank."
It turned out that what Ong Taihu suspected was true.
It seemed that the girl really had memory loss.
Kan Soat Cu smiled sweetly.
"It's okay. If I may, Siumoay will just call you cici. I hope cici don't force yourself to think about other things. The important thing is now, cici has to rest so that your health can quickly recover. Later, Siumoay will help slowly so that your memory can return to how it was. previously."
The girl nodded her head weakly. He really wanted to ask a question. But the current situation is not possible. It was too heavy to even nod his head. Kan Soat Cu turned his head to Cao Popo. "Cao popo, cook porridge for Cici and feed it slowly until it's finished. Her stomach has been empty for a long time. Her body will get weaker," said the girl.
"Yes, Siocia," said Cao popo, withdrawing.
Kan Soat Cu still sat on the side of the bed for a while. But the girl had closed her eyes again. Finally Kan Soat Cu made the decision to let the girl rest.
––––––––
Several days have passed. The girl's health began to recover. His body was already quite strong. He was able to get out of bed on his own and take a walk in the park. Kan Soat Cu watched him secretly. It seemed that the girl was looking at the snow surface with pensive eyes.
'What is he thinking? Is he just pretending to have lost his memory when he knows who he really is?’
The question kept raging in Kan Soat Cu's heart. But if you see that the girl likes to contemplate alone and then looks like a confused person, Kan Soat Cu feels that the girl is telling the truth. He slowly walked over to...
"Who?" snapped the girl while turning her body as fast as lightning.
Kan Soat Cu was very surprised. Judging from her movements, the girl must have understood martial arts.
"Cici, I'm coming," said Kan Soat Cu while calming his heart.
The girl's eyes that had been glaring turned soft again. His lips smiled. "Soat-moay.... Cici, who do you think..."
"Cici's body movements are very fast. Now Cici's condition is still not fully recovered, but her movements are already so great. Especially when she is healthy later."
The girl lowered her face with a blush.
"It seems that Cici has studied martial arts quite highly," said Kan Soat Cu again.
The girl shook her head. "Cici really doesn't know. Cici has been trying to remember who Cici really is, but it still doesn't work."
"Don't push it too hard. Ong Taihu already said that it takes quite a long time to bring back those memories."
"Soatmoay.... Do you mind if Cici asks
back where did Taijin's bodyguard find Cici?" asked the girl.
"According to the two bodyguards, they found Cici's body stuck on a rock near the southern ocean. But can just a little clue restore Cici's memory?"
The girl shook her head. "Cici doesn't know. But when I hear Soatmoay's statement, it seems that Cici is from the coast. Maybe Cici is the daughter of a fisherman who accompanied her parents to go fishing. Maybe our boat was hit by a storm so that Cici's body was thrown into the ocean."
Kan Soat Cu shook his head. "Siaumoay has a different opinion. Even though Siaumoay has never ventured into the world of kangouw. But more or less Siaumoay has heard stories from Cao Popo and the others. Cici is definitely not the son of a fisherman. Think about it carefully, if Cici is indeed the son of a fisherman, he must be Cici's skin was black because she was often burned by the sun. Moreover, the material for the clothes that Cici was wearing when she was found was not something fishermen could afford. Cici must have come from a well-to-do family. But the world is so wide, where should we look for information about her origins? cici."
The girl felt that what Kan Soat Cu had said was true. He still wanted to ask another question when he saw Kan taijin coming out of the house. "You're taijin...."
said the girl while juggling politely.
Kan taijin stroked his beard. He looked at the girl while nodding his head repeatedly. "Kouwnio, don't call me Kan taijin again. If I may, I have a better suggestion..."
Kan Soat Cu looked at his father with a confused look. "Tina, what do you mean?"
Kan Taijin smiled broadly. "Soat ji, you always say that you don't have any siblings. This Kouwnio was found by my two bodyguards, it means that Tia is indeed betrothed to him. What do you think if Tia gives him a name and raises him as a child so he can become your great-grandson?"
Kan Soat Cu's eyes immediately shone brightly, but Kan Taijin blinked once. "Don't get too excited just yet. We have to respect the rights of others. Ask this kouwnio first if he is willing to be Tia's adopted son?" said Kan taijin next.
Kan Soat Cu immediately grabbed the girl's hand and held it tightly. "Cici, of course you are willing right?"
The girl was silent for a few moments. He was deeply moved.
For now he also has no definite goal. It was good that he stayed at the home of the parents and the kind girl. After considering for a while, he finally nodded his head.
Kan Soat Cu immediately hugged him tightly. Kan taijin smiled faintly. "If you have agreed, right now I will give you a name. Of course you have to follow your adoptive father's she. As for the inauguration, let's just celebrate tonight. I will invite some of my friends to make the atmosphere more lively." Kan taijin turned back towards his daughter. "Soat ji, how about father name your brother Kan Hai Li?"
"Hai Li (Sea Girl)? Very nice. Tia. But whether cici likes it or not."
The girl nodded her head. Basically he didn't care what name was given to him. After all, it's better than not having a name at all. But after hearing the name Kan taijin chose. he really liked it.
"That's a great name. I really like it."
"Since this morning Tia has been thinking about this. Then Tia bumped again when she was about to choose a name. But Tia remembered that she was found in the middle of the ocean. So this beautiful girl is most suitable if given the name Hai Li."
The girl's mouth twitched. He looked like he wanted to say something, but his heart still hesitated. Kan Taijin had noticed his movements. "Hai Li. What do you want to say?" he asked gently.
"If possible, don't invite too many guests. I'm afraid I still can't handle crowds," said Hai Li who finally revealed what was in his heart.
Not many people were invited, but that included See Bun To. He came with two bodyguards. Even though Kan Taijin didn't like it, he also didn't want to show it openly.
If the others were invited, while this person was not, of course it would be very conspicuous.
See bun To never stopped praising the beauty of Kan Hai Li who had just been adopted as a child by Kan taijin. Already three times he raised his cup of wine and paid respect to Kan taijin.
“It is truly a great fortune that at this old age Kan taijin can raise a child like this Kan Hai Li Siocia.”
"Akh... See bun Cong-su could have... But what See bun Cong-su said is true. I only have one daughter. And she is..." Kan taijin pointed at Kan Soat Cu who was sat on his left. "Keep grumbling about having siblings. It just so happened that we managed to save my adopted son, so from now on we have friends to talk to."
See bun To sleepy non-stop. His eyes glanced at Kan Hai Li again and again. As if not bored he looked at the beauty of the girl.
Meanwhile the two bodyguards who had been standing in the corner of the room had been whispering to one another.
Time flies. It was late at night when the guests excused themselves. Kan Hi
Li and Kan Soat Cu also entered the room. If Kan Soat Cu's body is indeed weak, then Kan Hai Li's health will also not recover. Now the two girls occupy the same room. Their relationship quickly became cordial.
Inside the magnificent See bun To building.... That boy
drink a lot of wine. The light in his eyes was blazing.
People who used to meet him in the palace on a daily basis already knew that this person had quite high martial arts skills. But to what extent he mastered martial arts, no one knows.
After returning from the party thrown by Kan taijin, he immediately threw himself down on the lounger.
"Bastard! Why is the fate of that old fart so lucky? How can his men find a girl so beautiful and willing to be adopted by him? Huh!" See bun To grumbled at length.
The two bodyguards who had followed him to the party glanced at each other for a moment.
"Cong-su...." called one of them who was a bit older.
