The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pk 07 part 6

"Mother, then I really love her. My feelings whispered that he was the only man I loved because I was kind of willing to sacrifice my life for him." The girl paused for a moment and looked at her eyes clearly imagining great love when she recalled the young man. "Mother, right now I'm going after her, I need to be around her..."

"Go, but don't just get him, but get your father's legacy."

The pair of eyes were wide with joy, their faces reddish and Biauw Eng, who was no longer a cold-faced girl, was apparently melted by the heat of the fire of love, said, saying,

"Mother, thank you. I'm leaving now...!"

Lam-hai Sin-ni held her daughter's hand and said, "Only one thing I ask you to promise me, my son."

"What is it, Mother?"

"Please promise, swear that you will not make the same mistake your mother did. You will not surrender yourself to the boy outside of marriage! You must be a right husband and wife! Well, if so, then your mother will give permission and blessing. Otherwise, I will curse you, Biauw Eng!"

The girl hugged her mother and whispered, "I swear, Mother."

Then he let go of his mother and quickly darted away after grabbing the white silk belt that had been snatched and thrown by his mother.

Lam-hai Sin-ni, the number one character from Bu-tek Su-kwi, ‘ratu’ is not crowned from the southern sea coast area, still sitting cross-legged. His body did not move, his face remained cold, but from both eyes came two tears that slowly dripped down upon his pair of white cheeks…..

...********************...

Meanwhile, ever since Kun-lun-pai received the Siang-bhok-kiam from Keng Hong's hands, this large gathering never experienced safe days of silence again. It had only been a few days since Keng Hong left the Fragrant Wood Sword, Kun-lun-pai had been raided by kang-ouw people from various parties. The manner of their invasion also varies, depending on the nature of their association or party.

The clean group who felt ‘ gave something’ to Sin-jiu Kiam-ong and therefore entitled to get a part of the swordsman's legacy, came to Kun-lun-pai directly through the front door, and, then blatantly stated ‘request part’ because with the handover of Siang-bhok-kiam to Kun-lun-pai, they assume that Kun-lun-pai has inherited all the relics of Sin-jiu-Kiam-ong.

However, the Kun-lun-pai martial party is a large party that has many highly educated figures. In addition to this, also the tosu children of the average Kun-lun-pai disciple also had shrewd intelligence, he said, the number is also so much that all the efforts of the kang-ouw figures who want to seize Siang-bhok-kiam can be thwarted.

Due to the appearance of these disturbances, the Kun-lun-pai figures become very busy and eventually they realize that the decision taken by Kiang Tojin as his temperature representative, is, thian Seng Cinjin, the head of Kun-lun-pai, was indeed a very good decision to uphold the sovereignty and great name of Kun-lun-pai, but it was a very dangerous decision.

By preventing Keng Hong from taking Siang-bhok-kiam and taking the sword and storing it in Kun-lun-pai, the attention of all kang-ouws is now on Kun-lun-pai. If in the past the kang-ouw figures chased Sin-jiu Kiam-ong, now they stormed Kun-lun-pai to snatch the Siang-bhok-kiam sword!

Even so far, Kun-lun-pai's side has always managed to dispel invaders who want to take Siang-bhok-kiam, but in the matches that occurred during the sword was there, on their side, four students have been killed in battle. This is still coupled with the feeling of anxiety, always have to be on guard so that the tosu can no longer sleep well.

Begin their feelings of displeasure towards the decision of Kiang Tojin first which they consider inappropriate and only distress Kun-lun-pai. The other Thian Seng Cinjin students started to grumble and expressed their displeasure in front of the Kun-lun-pai chairman so that this grandfather who saw the danger of division, he said, one morning he gathered his disciples to be invited to discuss the sword of Siang-bhok-kiam!

The disciples of Thian Seng Cinjin were seven. Kiang Tojin is the head disciple, even he is the future chairman if Thian Seng Cinjin dies or resigns. All the affairs concerning Kun-lun-pai had also been handed over to him by the very old grandfather.

Because Kiang Tojin was a broad-minded person, experienced and had a firm and fair disposition, in addition to his shrewdness which was only below the level of his teacher, he was very good at, then all business goes smoothly if he arranges the solution. This alone had already made some of his sute people secretly feel envious.

That morning, in a room called the Tranquility Room located at the back of Kun-lun-pai dormitory, Thian Seng Cinjin sat on the floor covered in a round mattress, cross-legged faced by seven of his students who also sat cross-legged in a semi-circular shape facing their teacher.

The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, clean and comfortable. The mountain breeze breezed in because the room was not covered by walls so from there it can look very beautiful mountain sightseeing. It is rightly the name of this room because the atmosphere is really calm and cause calm in the heart, suitable for bermedhi or to exchange ideas.

For the sake of this negotiation, Thian Seng Cinjin deliberately brought with him the Siang-bhok-kiam sword that he placed in front of him on the floor. Then, after a moment these eight tosu people together with a moment of silence cleared the mind, the grandfather moved his hand to stroke his long beard and said in a smooth voice, saying,

"Now we are all gathered with a clear mind. Pinto knew that the sword of Sin-jiu Kiam-ong had caused a lot of commotion which is usually safe and quiet. However, the commotion was caused by outsiders who were about to snatch the sword and it should be that if we defend it and dispel the invaders, it is not troublesome. What makes pinto concerned and now gathers you to negotiate is because pinto sees the imbalance that arises between us due to the vibration of the clash of incompatibilities and looking for a way out with deliberation. Take out all your hearts and opinions for us to examine and learn."
