A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 209 – Their Story
Lucky with the three hermits, there was not the slightest commotion to the bottom of the mountain. The winning Sung Han chose to bring along the Moon Eclipse Sword in his hand. Together with two girls, Yang Ruan and Sung Hwa, Sung Han descends the mountain peak.
"After this there will be many people who will be after me." So among other things Sung Han said in the middle of the journey. "Where are you going?"
No one answered. Yang Ruan was still late in grief. Black bags are created on her eyelids because she cries too often, while Sung Hwa is confused about what to answer.
Sung Han sighed furiously. "We rest up ahead." And both according.
Sung Han took them to the edge of a large river that was the source of the mountain's springs. Sung Han washed his face with bloodstains and sweat. He then sat cross-legged on one of the stones to recuperate for a while.
Under these circumstances, the atmosphere was completely silent.
When Sung Han was done, he tried to open his voice. "Sung Hwa, who was your teacher killed by them? And...Yang Ruan, what's wrong with your legs?"
"Our teacher" Sung Hwa corrected. "They killed our teacher for spying on their organization."
Sung Han was surprised. "Your teachers?"
"Yes." Yeah." Sung Hwa then began to tell his story. Unasked by Sung Han.
A few years ago, after Sung Hwa separated from Sung Han after the last meeting, Sung Hwa planned to go to Kay Su Tek.
Having no more goals, Sung Hwa plans to merge with Kay Su Tek. He thought of nothing more, because at that moment he could only hope for Kay Su Tek who became his best friend.
But on the way, he met Yang Ruan who was seriously injured after fighting against some black faction people. At that time Yang Ruan's state was truly apprehensive with his stump legs. Since then they have known.
But if the people Yang Ruan fought against before were able to catch up and finally could not be prevented, the two met them. Suppose they are some people led by three grandfathers nicknamed Dragon Sakti.
The three Sakti Dragons immediately knew Sung Hwa who was nicknamed the Red Eagles. They were reminded of the state of their disciple, Naga Sakti Ujung Timur, who had died at the hands of Sung Hwa. So they ganged up on Sung Hwa anyway.
It was then that Sung Hwa abandoned his intention to join Kay Su Tek because it was no longer possible. Within the alliance were three powerful enemies, so Sung Hwa decided to take the safe path.
Long story short, Sung Hwa managed to bring Yang Ruan who was badly injured at the time. They lived in an indiscriminate distance for several months. But the two have a sense of loyalty high friends, never want to separate.
Until when the two met a writer in one of the villages. A man who both knew as an informer.
When he saw the two, the writer said with a smile showing his teeth.
"Dangerous child, will you come with me? Studying literature?"
Somehow, the two people who were already as if they had no hope agreed. They were confused where else to go. Since then Sung Hwa and Yang Ruan became students of the literary grandfather who we all know as the Roadside Writer.
Being a student of that person and studying literature is indeed exciting. Over the years wander to many places and meet shrewd people. Gradually the two girls were getting better at writing beautiful characters and making poems or rhymes. Over time they forget the martial world and intend to resign from the world full of misery.
"But everything changed when the teacher decided to sneak into the black faction's main headquarters. He was too obsessed with all the information of the martial world, so reckless," Sung Hwa began to sob.
No need to listen further Sung Han seems to understand. After that it must have been the poet dead, and somehow his two disciples ended up in this place.
"The Midnight Wolf made an offer, asking me to represent them in the fight this time around. I accepted it to take revenge. Especially after learning, even Kay Su Tek ruthlessly told his people to kill his former fiancee." he glanced at Yang Ruan with pity. "It just makes my anger even more intense."
Sung Han nodded in understanding, he already understood enough by sitting down his case. And it's all because of Kay Su Tek's revenge. Perhaps he considered that the Eagle Queen was a threat and a rock for his great cause, so he sent three Sakti Dragons to end Yang Ruan's life.
And because of the eclipse sword, or either because they did not agree, made Sung Han and Kay Su Tek had to kill each other and caused Yang Ruan to suffer a great inner blow.
"Yang Ruan, you.." Sung Hwa's words could not be resolved so surprised.
Sung Han looked over and almost let out a screech if not quickly arrested. Seen on Yang Ruan's hair hemisphere, the fine black strands of his hair were already whitened. And Yang Ruan's face looked a few years older even though it was still beautiful.
Sung Han's heart felt pierced. He's feeling more guilty. Remember the teacher's message.
Be a good man
"Ahh, teacher, forgive this ungodly student of yours," Sung Han increasingly felt like he was an even more evil person than the average bad guy. Where his crimes were committed indirectly, he felt that the misery of the two girls was his fault.
"Let it be, just consider it my penance," Yang Ruan finally said with a bitter smile. "A contemptible whore who expects a lover. How funny."
"That Ruan!!" Sung Hwa yelled. This girl disliked the most if Yang Ruan brought up her past.
Sung Han pensively paused in silence. Then it approached Yang Ruan after a while. "Yang Ruan, you bring this Lunar Eclipse Sword."
One unexpected request. The two girls were gawking.
"Why should I?" Yang Ruan asked confusedly.
"Second to protect yourself. But hide it under your cloak" Sung Han said. "After this I will be the target of people."
"Then if I bring one, you don't get targeted by people?"
Sung Han shook his head. "It's not. It's just that if I have to die later and my sword is taken away, at least one other sword is still in the hands of a good person" Sung Han explained and pleaded afterwards. "That Ruan, please."
Yang Ruan smiled. A smile not as sweet as it used to be. A smile that contains a million sorrows. "I'm sorry, I can't take it."
"Why?"
"I can't accept you" Yang Ruan said. "not anymore. Be my best friend Sung Han, that's more than enough."
Sung Hwa tilted his head in wonder. While Sung Han's gaze was cheering. He understands what that means.
The curse of the eclipse sword, one of which is, if the owner is male and female, then the two will marry.
Now, from his battle against Kay Su Tek, it has been proven the truth of the remark. Sung Han started to believe in the curse.
Yang Ruan also understood, then the surrender of this sword was a kind of proposal indirectly.
Yang Ruan smiled slightly. Smells head. "I love you, I love you very much Sung Han. I can't sacrifice your happiness. How could I disappoint my savior?"
"You didn't disappoint me. I'm rela–"
"Sung Han, I feel contemptible," Yang Ruan cut down quickly. "I am not worthy enough to be with anyone. I've been tarnished. Too dirty and disgusting. Let me after this take the path of the nun to ask for forgiveness."
Sung Hwa and Sung Han were wide-eyed.
"That Ruan, don't slam!" sung Hwa.
As if ignoring Sung Hwa, Yang Ruan stood up and limped away from them. "Goodbye, be careful when coming out of this mountain region," before actually leaving, he turned his head once more. "May we meet at a later time. In better circumstances of course." Her tears are dripping.
Before it could be prevented by them, his body had already flashed away without leaving behind any shadow of it. Sung Han and Yang Ruan were wide-eyed, in this quiet and silent state, without feeling the tears of both of them rushing over.
