Death Flute
Luo Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping

Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping went to the next day released by their parents. Shortly after, Ouwyang Kuan and Sui She left the Bamboo House to return to the Nada Valley. Sung Cen and his daughter remained at the Bamboo Guesthouse at the request of Mr and Mrs Luo. They fulfilled the request because they were still there.

Ting Ting felt very lonely. Now it's back to how it was when they weren't all here. He could only chat with his fathers, or with Meng Huan. A Ming was too quiet to talk to, moreover the girl was also impressed to avoid him. In fact, he really wants to travel with his brother and Ouwyang Ping. But he knew his parents would not allow it.

Ting Ting often daydreamed alone inside the Back Garden Pavilion. He looked very lethargic and uninspired. Since the abandonment of his friends. He was always pensive.

Many things he daydreamed about, but the most frequent was about Chien Wan. His farewell to Chien Wan used to be very painful for him. He never told anyone about his quarrel at the time. He tried to forget it and think of something else. But for some reason, lately their quarrels have always been imagined.

He sighed and put his face on the table.

Without realizing it, his parents watched him from the doorway.

Master and Madam Luo were saddened to see the gloom of their beloved daughter. They understood Ting Ting was lonely. And they did not not not not know that their daughter still had such a great love for Chien Wan. They looked, no longer knowing what to say.

They stepped in.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Ting lifted his face and looked at his fathers. They sat down near Ting Ting. Madam Luo fondly stroked her daughter's hair.

“Why are you daydreaming, Son?” asked Madam Luo subtly.

“I'm lonely, Mother.”

“Dad understood,” interrupted Mr. Luo. “But if you notice, your depression not only happens after they leave, but also before they come.”

Ting Ting remained silent.

“If Dad didn't get me wrong, this depression of yours must be related to Chien Wan!”

Instantly Ting Ting's face flushed, yet he did not refute her.

Master and Madam Luo looked at.

“Ting Ting, do you really love Chien Wan?” asked Madam Luo concernedly.

Although embarrassed because the one who asked was her mother—in front of her father anyway, Ting Ting nodded. “Ya.”

“Can't be changed anymore?”

“Iya.”

Mr Luo said, “Are you sure you'd be happy if you married her?”

Ting Ting looked at his father as if the man had already lost his mind. “Of course, Dad!” steady answer. There was no doubt in his voice.

“What about Chien Wan's own feelings? Do you think about his feelings too? Are you sure she'll be happy if she marries you?” ask Mr. Luo again.

Ting Ting furrowed his brows at the question. He never thought about it, but he didn't really care. “Dad, I don't know. For sure, I'll be happy with her!” said plain.

Master Luo sighed in despair. “Don't you realize that your love is blind love, Ting Ting?”

Her father's words made Ting Ting angry. “Dad! You never want to understand me! Why do you always corner me? Dad didn't agree I married him, did he?” the accusation.

“Do not misunderstand, Ting Ting!” persuade Mr Luo. “I've thought about it over and over again. You're mydaughter. I want you to be happy. If you feel happy when you marry Chien Wan, of course I will bless you—walau with a heavy heart.”

Ting Ting's anger subsided. He looked at his father expectantly.

“I'll talk about it with your aunt. Maybe your aunt can persuade Chien Wan in this,” promised Mr. Luo.

Madam Luo looked at her husband with a look of surprise.

Ting Ting's face was beaming. “Really?”

Master Luo nodded.

Ting Ting threw himself into his father's arms. “Oh, Dad! Thank you!”

Her father and mother shook their heads at Ting Ting's excitement. They were determined to continue to maintain Ting Ting's happiness no matter what.

Their conversation was so serious that they did not realize that Meng Huan had been standing behind the window, listening to their conversation with mixed feelings. His face looked sad. There was no hope for him anymore.

Master Luo's promise gave a change to Ting Ting's attitude. Now the girl's face looked bright. His eyes were brilliantly full of hope. She is overjoyed that she believes her aunt can convince Chien Wan that she is the only one who can make Chien Wan happy.

Ouwyang Ping shrugged his shoulders. “Finding Fei Yu is just an excuse. I want to wander, following where my feet step.”

This expression made Sen Khang smile funny. “Then I will follow where your feet are stepping as well.”

Ouwyang Ping did not comment. He breathed a long breath. Then step down the path. He didn't say anything else. He did not mind Sen Khang coming with him.

Sen Khang walked leisurely beside him. His face looked radiant. He always looks cheerful, as if he has no question of living at all—if that is not the case. Even in times of sadness, his face was always smiling.

The journey with Sen Khang is very different from what he experienced with Chien Wan two years ago. Chien Wan is quiet, doesn't say much. In the journey they did first, it was always Ouwyang Ping who started the conversation. But now it's turned around. Sen Khang was very good at provoking a smile from his lips with his fresh jokes. Sen Khang has an impressive character. On the one hand he is authoritative, wise, and steady. On the other hand he can also be naughty and like to flirt.

They had already left Wisma Bambu for a few days and arrived at the Kupu-Kupu Party's territory.

“Partai Kupu-Kupu is a name that is quite famous in Persilatan World. I met the chairman when I was a kid. He's about my father's age—“

“Sst!” his Ouwyang Ping interrupted Sen Khang's speech. Sen Khang was immediately silent and immediately on standby.

A moment later, several people leaped from the top of the tree while scattering the colorful scarf. The fluttering of the shawls gave rise to a very impressive sight. Colored figures flashed here and there. They are like multicolored butterflies that move to confuse the opponent.

“Their coup wants to paralyze us,” Sen Khang said.

Ouwyang Ping bent his legs half-kneeling on the ground.

Sen Khang immediately understood what Ouwyang Ping was trying to do, immediately he crossed his legs and arranged his inner strength.

Ouwyang Ping's hand moved quickly towards his harp. His plump fingers began to pluck the strings of the harp with deep exertion. There was a deafening clanging sound.

That overwhelming voice caused their attackers to panic. One by one they stopped moving while covering their ears. So loud and deafening was the sound that even the high-scientific Sen Khang felt pain.

After all the attackers stopped moving, Ouwyang Ping stopped.

Sen Khang jumped up and approached them. “Why did you guys attack us?” tanyanya firmly.

“We are obliged to attack intruders!”

Sen Khang furrowed his brows in surprise. He looked at Ouwyang Ping who looked down while wiping his harp. The girl's behavior seemed ordinary. He did not seem tense or exhausted, but he had just put in a lot of energy.

“We are not intruders,” Sen Khang said calmly. He gave respect. “My name is Luo Sen Khang, from Wisma Bambu. And this is Miss Ouwyang from Nada Valley.”

“Tone Valley?” The green-robed woman who seemed to be their leader immediately reacted.

“True.”

“Kakak Lan!”

The woman in green dress turned her head and they all immediately respectfully greeted the owner of the voice. A beautiful girl wearing purple clothes with a silk scarf dangling on her shoulders and arms. The girl wore a butterfly-shaped hairpick made of purple precious stones. He's Wu Kui Fang.

“Nona Wu!” greet them.

“What happened?” ask Kui Fang.

“We were on guard and they entered our territory just like that. We thought they were black infiltrators. It turned out that they claimed to be from Wisma Bambu and Valley of Nada,” reported the green dress woman called Big Brother Lan.

“Tone Valley?” Kui Fang turned his attention to Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping. He looked at them with interest. Really a compatible couple, he praised in his heart. His gaze clashed on the golden-coloured dressed girl carrying the harp.

Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping also stared back at the purple-clothed girl. They did not know who the young girl was, but it seemed that the position of the girl was clearly higher than their attacker. Otherwise, how could they possibly be so respectful towards him.

Kui Fang continued to look at the harp and he suddenly smiled, making his face look so dazzling. “Harpa Kencana. It is an honor for us because you came to this place,” he said calmly. His two tiny hands were wrapped up in front of his chest, greeting him.

Ouwyang Ping replied to that greeting in the same way. “I'm flattered you know me.”

Kui Fang nodded. “Your name is famous in the World of Insights. How shallow my knowledge if you do not know your big name.”

Brother Lan and his men felt ashamed for attacking the person their chairman had always admired. Then they saluted. “We apologize for being so careless. Please do not take heart, Swordsman Both.”

Sen Khang laughed. “It's okay. This turned out to be just a misunderstanding.”

Kui Fang turned his attention. “And you must be the young master of the Bamboo Guesthouse, Luo Sen Khang. Receive my respect.”

“Don't be so formal, Miss. We are so shy.” Sen Khang shook his head.

“My name is Wu Kui Fang. Chairman Wu Tai Hung is my father.” Kui Fang introduced himself. “I hope you guys will stop by and stay at our place for a while. My mom and dad would love to receive you guys.”

Sen Khang and Ouwyang Ping agreed. They followed the girl to the Butterfly Party settlement.
