Alam Mandala
the Tao Gong Sect
Huang Shu turned around and smiled faintly, his smile as if saying he was fine. However, Jiu Jiu knew it was a fake smile to make her calmer.
“Nona, I'll try my whole life to find a cure for Miss.”
Huang Shu approached him and gently rubbed his hair.
“I'll look forward to it.”
Huang Shu sighed and turned to look at the mountain peak.
“Jiu Jiu, if you meet Bing Jiazhi later, please kindly convey my apology.”
Jiu Jiu's heart was like being struck by lightning. The distance suddenly felt even further with Huang Shu.
“Good Miss, I will definitely do it.”
Huang Shu nodded and smiled. It then soared up into the sky approaching the iceberg.
When he was very close, he turned around and smiled. Then his body froze and grew into an ice sculpture with both wings on his shoulders. The statue of Huang Shu is huge.
Jiu Jiu's tears started to flow. “Nona, I will do my best for you.”
Jiu Jiu left from there.
...----------------...
‘Tao Gong’ large characters engraved on a wooden board at a gate. Bing Jiazhi stood in front staring at him coldly.
The Tao Gong sect was very different from the bamboo sect. This sect was located at the end of the village, which made it very crowded for people to head there. Although there was a village on the edge of the Bamboo sect, the road leading to the sect parted ways with the road leading to the village. There was one road branching, one towards the bamboo sect and the other towards the village.
Unlike the bamboo sect, on the sides of the road filled with long and densely flowering blue lantern grasses, about 2 meters. This made the Tao Gong sect extremely beautiful when people started to enter the sect.
Far away there, the red-colored pagodas stood majestic. In front of him stood plum blossom trees.
Bing Jiazhi stood there staring coldly at a young man standing on the roof of the gate. He held a long sword in his chest. His gaze was extremely cold, as if within his eyes was ice that never melted.
“Who are you? We don't accept outsiders, get out of here.”
Bing Jiazhi did not care about it; and walked towards the gate.
The white-clothed man became furious, he threw his sword into the air.
The sword swirled around and the man jumped up to take his sword and headed towards Bing Jiazhi.
In an instant, the Sword rang out and they were already facing each other.
Bing Jiazhi started to perform sword attacks for a while. His movements were able to make the man keep his distance. His expression was also shocked.
Bing Jiazhi took out the badge he had given away.
Seeing that, the young man was more surprised and immediately saluted. “Sorry for my disrespect.”
Bing Jiazhi nodded. “Take me into.”
“B-good.”
The young man's attitude was more respectful than before. He delivered Bing Jiazhi with respect.
After passing through the gate, Bing Jiazhi suddenly whispered, “ Senior brother, do you not know the information about the lotus house?”
The young man thought for a moment. “T-No.”
“Tonight the prettiest woman will appear. Her beauty would cause one country to be destroyed. Her skin is softer than anything in this world, even it is softer than baby skin.”
The young man suddenly stopped and looked at Bing Jiazhi seriously. “Are you not lying?”
“Of course not. If you want to know, then I'm happy to deliver you, but you have to pay me too.”
“No problem, but if you lie, I will not forgive you.”
“Senior sister can hold my words.”
Bing Jiazhi easily persuaded this young man. He thought it was hard to do so, considering his face was not like someone who loved women.
Not long after, the young man went to a house. There a beautiful girl dressed in black sat in front of the house with an annoyed expression, yet that was what made her look even more beautiful.
“My dad? Of course inside. If brother Ang wants to meet, just go inside.” The girl's tone was very heavy, it seemed like she was angry right now.
Ang Bei nodded. “Can you call me for a minute?”
“Is this something important? All right I'll call him.”
The girl then went inside.
Not long after, he came with a grown man.
“Greetings master,” Ang Bei salute and in follow Bing Jiazhi.
“During did not meet Ang Bei. How are you?”
“Good master. I brought someone for you to meet.”
The man nodded and looked at Bing Jiazhi.
“I just drove him, master.”
Ang Bei left after saluting.
“Who are you young?” asked the man, not interested in the least.
“Murid from Xue Ni.”
“Mother?? What did you say about my mother?” Xue yan was surprised and enthusiastically asked.
Bing Jiazhi nodded. “She gave this to you.” Bing Jiazhi took out the statue and gave it away.
“Dad... Is this really mom?” Xue Yan's eyes glittered when she looked at her father. It was never thought that the girl would get a gift from her mother. He misses his mother a lot, but does not know where to go, making him think his mother is dead. But now he was sure his mother was alive.
“Iya. Your mother loves to carve. Impossible from anyone other than your mother.”
“Mother is alive.” Xue Yan hugged the statue and looked for a while before finally looking at Bing Jiazhi, “brother, is my mother okay?”
“He stays healthy.”
“Can you take me to see him?”
Bing Jiazhi nodded.
“Yan’er, go inside, dad will talk for a while.”
“Good dad.” It was with great pleasure that Xue Yan went inside carrying the statue. Although he wanted to know the answer from Bing Jiazhi, the statue that had been given made him quite calm and put aside his curiosity.
Afterwards the man asked what Bing Jiazhi meant to come here.
Bing Jiazhi slowly took out a badge from his shirt.
The man did not look surprised in the slightest, unlike Ang Bei. “He finally has one student too. Young man, what's your name? And do you want to join the sect?”
Bing Jiazhi nodded. “Bing Jiazhi's. Can I?”
“Of course, as long as you follow the sect rules well.”
“There are some things I want to ask about you, let's go in.”
The man and Bing Jiazhi walked inside and sat in the guest room.
“Sorry, I didn't fondly visit you.” The man felt bad with nothing he could serve.
“It's okay.”
“Is it all right?” the man asked in a serious and concerned tone.
Bing Jiazhi nodded. The one he was talking about was none other than Xue Ni, who was probably his wife. “She lives peacefully there.”
“I was expecting it. Ah, my name is Hao yu.”
“I want to know your relationship with my teacher.”
“We are a couple. Our relationship was so complicated that I was not sure if we had such a relationship or not; we lived alone and as if we were not connected at all. These few years after she gave birth, I thought she would forget us and leave forever, even I once wanted to lie to Xue yan, she said, that her mother had died or remarried and said she was her mother. Too bad, I was too afraid to do so and was afraid that my oath together with Xue Ni would become a reality.”
