Death Flute
The Year Anniversary of the Death of Master and Lady Luo

“So so,” muttered Chien Wan after hearing Fei Yu's story as A Ming told her when he came.

“Poor,” murmured Kui Fang.

“Chi Meng Huan fucker!” sen Khang was angry.

Fei Yu snorted. “If he were here, I would have strangled him for making my cousin like that!”

“However he loves Chi Meng Huan,” mused Sen Khang.

Ouwyang Ping did not say anything. Secretly he felt guilty. Were it not for the disappointment of his love being rejected by Sen Khang, A Ming could not have been as easy as Chi Meng Huan. And Sen Khang rejected him for loving himself. Indirectly, he had a hand in plunging A Ming into the abyss of suffering.

“Don't think too much about it, Ping-er,” reprimands Sen Khang. He knew exactly what was going on in the girl's mind. “Last time has nothing to do with this problem.”

No one commented on this issue. The love that A Ming harbored for Sen Khang was no longer a secret. Especially since A Ming himself had revealed it blatantly to that failed marriage of Ting Ting and Meng Huan.

“So A Ming had time to stay with teacher Chi Meng Huan?” ask Chien Wan.

“True,” nods Fei Yu. “It turns out that Chi Meng Huan's teacher was Tonggu, a Khitan silat, magic, and medicine expert. Hearing A Ming's story, it seems that Tonggu is a very dangerous person and should be wary of.”

“We have never seen it, do not even recognize its name,” Sen Khang said.

“Tonggu never appeared in the Holy World. He is a man who likes to be alone. His nature? No less cruel than Cheng Sam and Chi Meng Huan. But according to A Ming, in addition to giving him poison, Tonggu never roughed up,” Fei Yu explained.

“I want to see that person named Tonggu,” murmured Sen Khang.

“We will definitely see it.”

Those words of Chien Wan sounded steady and cold. No one doubted it. He was right. They will definitely have a chance to meet Tonggu face to face!

A while later, A Ming was aware of his stupor. He did not say a word when he saw Chien Wan, Sen Khang, and the others. He was only mute with such a deep hue of regret on his face.

And they all understand his feelings. They let A Ming silence in his grief, for there was nothing they could do to ease his inner suffering.

The one-year anniversary ceremony of Mr and Mrs Luo's death was solemn. Everyone seemed to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere of haru, especially Sen Khang and Ting Ting. Unexpectedly, a year they had gone through a very difficult time. I never thought they could survive. When that happened, the world was doomed.

Ting Ting Ting cried while he was in front of his parents' ashes table. He misses them so much. He would do anything to see them again. But he knew it was impossible. That is why he cried out his sadness.

Sen Khang, who was kneeling to his left, patted his back gently.

“Ting Ting, don't cry,” persuade him.

Ting Ting wiped his tears. “A year has Father and Mother left us. I miss them so much.”

“Our feelings are the same, Ting Ting,” said Sen Khang.

“I'd love to replay the elapsed time. I want to tell them I love them. If only they were alive, I would do anything for them. I will be very devoted to them.” isak Ting Ting poof. “But now..it's too late. I don't have another chance..”.

“Do not do so, Ting Ting.” Sen Khang stroked his sister's hair. “Dad and Mom can definitely feel our affection,” he added patiently.

Ting Ting looked down.

Fei Yu who was kneeling beside her right immediately embraced her with full protection. “Do not cry again, Ting Ting.”

Ting Ting looked over. “If only they were still around, they would be so happy to see me with you. They will greatly bless our marriage, especially since you have made me happy,” said.

Fei Yu's face glimmered at his wife's words.

Many warriors who came to Wisma Bambu until the situation there became crowded. Everyone intended to pay their respects to Master and Madam Luo as the parents of the new Chief of the Army. It's profitable. With the presence of so many people, no one dared to come to mess with the atmosphere.

After the family members finished paying their respects, it was the swordsmen's turn. They were abuzz to put up a hio and pay their respects to the late Master and Madam Luo.

Almost everyone came, including Swordsman Sung and his friends. Even Chairman Wu also sent his envoys, namely Sam Hui and Wen Chiang.

“Uncle Sam, Brother Wen.” Kui Fang approached. “Reacted you guys came too.”

“Where may we not attend the anniversary of the death of Mr and Mrs Luo, Miss? The chairman himself sent us as representatives of the Butterfly Party. He had predicted that Miss must be here too,” said Sam Hui.

Kui Fang smiled wrongly. “I know I didn't ask Dad's permission to come here. But Sister Wan has already decided that after this ceremony is over, no later than the day after tomorrow, we will leave for the Butterfly Party.”

“The two are not angry, Miss. He was even happy because you went to the Bamboo Guesthouse to pay homage to the Luo Family,” Sam Hui said pacifyingly.

“Who are you looking for, Brother Wen?” asked Kui Fang in surprise.

“No,” elak Wen Chiang somewhat blushed. “I only pay attention to people. It turns out to be crowded too, huh?”

Kui Fang nodded. “Sister Luo is now the Head of the Press. Of course many people come to pay their respects.”

Chien Wan came over to them and saluted the two men. Then he invited Kui Fang in to come back with their families.

As everyone was busy carrying out the memorial service, A Ming was left alone with his baby. He had recovered from the pain of the poison, but his body was still weak. This is why it is not involved in the ceremony. This relieved his heart, for he was not sure if he had any face to face with all those who were there.

Now he owes his life to Sen Khang.

This is what worries him the most.

He has made mistakes in the past. And he remembered that it all began when he felt that he was in love with Sen Khang. He craved the young man so much with passionate love. And when the young man rejects his love, his anger becomes as stirring as his love.

In his anger he became vulnerable to temptation. He easily fell into the trap of romance that Meng Huan created. Having grown up in a convent, he was inexperienced at confronting male seduction. He could not catch the falsehood in Meng Huan's behavior. He also could not see that he was actually only used by Meng Huan to achieve the goal.

As a result he engaged in vile deeds that were not at all in accordance with the upbringing he received at the monastery. He had helped Meng Huan's evil plan masterminded by Cheng Sam.

All that remains is regret.

He regretted that he was so easily persuaded by Chi Meng Huan's sweet words. And most of all, he regretted being so easily in love. For some reason he had so easily forgotten the love he had for Sen Khang and simply turned it over to Meng Huan.

Now he could not stop loving Chi Meng Huan!

A Ming's tears rolled profusely on his cheeks.

If only he could get rid of this feeling of love, of course he would not be so tormented. But no matter how much he hated Meng Huan, he still loved her.

A love that may never be lost considering that now he is hugging the child he was born with because of his relationship with Chi Meng Huan!

His regret multiplied when he remembered that he now owed his life to Sen Khang. He harmed the Sen Khang family, but the young man saved his life.

What kind of person is he!

“Oaaa!”

The baby's cry sounded heartbreaking.

A Ming lowered his head and looked at the handsome face of his baby though not as plump as baby Ting Ting. She held him gently and kissed him affectionately, her tears falling.

“Poor child..,” his whisper is wistful. “What should I do, Son?”

Sien Lung's cries stopped after feeling comfortable in her mother's arms. Now it just sounds spoiled.

“How will your future be if people find out who your father is?” A Ming closed his eyes.

It was reflected in his eyes that his son would encounter various difficulties. Everyone will sneer at him and insult him as the illegitimate son of a criminal. He was excluded from association. His future is bleak. No college will accept him, no girl will be his wife, no family will accept him as a son-in-law.

It is not impossible that Sien Lung will also be trapped in a criminal environment like his father and himself experienced. And eventually Sien Lung will also become a villain!

A Ming opened his eyes and shook his head violently.

“No! I won't let that happen!” said firmly.

As the baby began to whine again, she got up and walked back and forth while fondling her around the room.

“No one can use it! My son will never be a criminal! He can't be like his father!” a Ming's determination was steady. “Better he died with me than to be a villain!”

That thought shook his heart so much.

Is correct. It is better that they die together than to be reinstated by those criminals!

This mind is getting stronger. And finally his determination was unanimous.

They must die!
