BAIHU (White Tiger Warrior): Challenging the Dragon
CHAPTER 25 | Black clothed figure

“Sit” Wang Mei said to Baihu as she also sat in front of Baihu.

After Baihu sat down, Wang Mei then told him about the martial match he had participated in while still a Sun Moon sect disciple.

“At that time I became one of the participants of the match with two other elders to represent the Sun Moon sect.” Wang Mei recalled

“Inter sect martial arts matches were followed by the 9 great sects that existed in this plain including the 3 sects in this mountain range. They were the Ming sect and the Kun Lun sect from the southern region, the Huasan sect and the King's Tomb sect from the western region, the Wudang sect from the northern region, the Ice Moon sect from the eastern region”

Baihu seemed to be listening carefully to the story from Wang Mei. Seeing Baihu interested in the story Wang Mei took a breath before continuing back.

“At that time I participated in the match lost in the last four against the Sky Sword sect. And I was defeated by Zhang Mou the elder brother of Zhang Ji, whom they ended up being the winner of the martial match due to the time in the final against the King's Tomb sect, they were also defeated by Zhang Mou” Wang Mei recalled sadly.

Baihu narrowed her eyes hearing the words from Wang Mei. “If Zhang Mou is studying in the Sky Sword sect, why did Zhang Ji choose to study in the Moon Sun sect?” tanyakanya.

Wang Mei smiled hearing Baihu's question,” Yes. All because Zhou An”

“Zhou An?” Baihu did not understand

“Don't you already know that Zhou An is Zhang Ji's fiancee who was betrothed by their parents” continued Wang Mei back

“Oh, so because Zhou An studied here, then Zhang Ji followed him to study here as well” Baihu just understood it.

Wang Mei looked at Baihu's cute looking expression saying that, “Do you like Zhou An?” his god while looking at Baihu's face. But in Wang Mei's heart she somehow felt displeased if Baihu agreed.

“Sister Wang, I just got to know him as a friend. I think Zhou An is a good girl. Zhang Ji was very lucky. But I see Zhou An doesn't like him very much” Baihu said

“Because I think Zhou An might like someone else” Wang Mei said back to look at Baihu's facial expression. “My woman's feeling says Zhou An might like you her inner Baihu”

But Baihu looked indifferent hearing that, her face still looking flat. He was more interested in listening to the story about that martial match again.

“It's up to Zhou An only. Keep on how about the winner of the martial match. Did Zhang Mou manage to obtain something from that Wisdom Cave?” tanya Baihu re-routed the conversation

Wang Mei looked disappointed at Baihu's expression and reply, she then answered Baihu's question back.

“That time Zhang Mou was only lucky to get the Heirloom Sword, while his other two-man teammate was not as lucky as himself” Wang Mei said

“So not everyone who goes into the Wisdom Cave is getting lucky ya” said Baihu with a grim face

Wang Mei saw Baihu's spirit seem to decline after listening to the story. Baihu wished he could get something from within that Wisdom Cave, but hearing many fail made him become less confident about the luck in his life.

“Calm down, maybe you will be the one who gets that luck” entertain Wang Mei to encourage her again.

Baihu knew Wang Mei was trying to give her some spirit back, she just smiled looking towards Wang Mei.

“Sister Wang, I'm so happy to see you. Brother is very good. But may I ask you something?” tanya Baihu returned

“What do you want to ask?” sahut Wang Mei was curious as to what Baihu would ask next.

Wang Mei was struck by lightning by a question from Baihu, “Basic of this boy!” snarl. Asking about marriage to a woman is something that should not be done. It was a very sensitive thing for women as long as Wang Mei who was at the age of 21. But Baihu did not know about it.

Wang Mei then snorted and turned her annoyed face at Baihu's question, “That's no business for a child like you”.

Baihu felt bad to see Wang Mei who looked annoyed at her question, “Sorry big brother Wang, I mispronounced. But I'm sure there must be a lot of men who like big brother because of the beauty of big brother” entertain Baihu

“Beauty me?” Wang Mei only heard that word from Baihu and made her face turn red.

“Ehm, you are still small but good at teasing women” Wang Mei said slowly. Her frustration was slightly dissipated due to the praise from Baihu about her beauty.

Baihu smiled wryly at Wang Mei's words about her. They both smiled back and discussed about the martial arts match that will be held less than a month later.

“You should practice more often to improve your cultivation and mastery of your style” Wang Mei's message is back seriously

“Good brother Wang. I will need guidance from you” Baihu said.

Wang Mei pondered for a while before continuing. He remembered the events of today when they were training together.

“I will guide you. But on one condition, there are some places that you should not touch on my body. If you do something like that again when we practice, I will kill you” Wang Mei said with a red face

Baihu was stunned, she recalled what incident Wang Mei meant. When he remembered it he apologized, “Ah, forgive me when it touched the chest of older brother Wang” said with a smile with a red face.

Wang Mei's eyes twitched at Baihu's expression which was not like apologizing sincerely, but rather intentional doing so happily.

“This boy really sucks” murmured his annoyance in his heart.

As they were conversing, they suddenly saw a black-clothed figure moving through the stream and heading towards the river.

Wang Mei and Baihu were surprised to see him, and they followed him to the river.

“Who is that person?” thought Wang Mei was following from a distance with Baihu

The stream was from the top of the mountain range between the Sacred Lotus sect and the Sun Moon sect. And on top of the peak there is a waterfall whose water flow comes from a large river above the mountains that flows from the northeast direction of the residence of the Sacred Lotus sect.

The black-clothed figure appeared to enter through the waterfall and disappeared. Wang Mei and Baihu who arrived at the river stream upstream looked around him looking for the whereabouts of the figure. But they didn't find it. They then looked towards the wall of the waterfall which was quite high.

“The man disappeared” muttered Baihu after looking around him

“Maybe he climbed the cliff of the waterfall and went to the top of the mountain” Wang Mei said.

Baihu turned his head towards the wall then looked back at Wang Mei, “Are we going to climb up the cliff?” tanyakanya.

“We'd better get back. Hopefully that person doesn't mean evil” said Wang Mei

They also returned to the Sun Moon sect residence and returned to their respective residences.
