Death Flute
Wu Kui Fang Kidnapped

They walked through the valley and the hills. They intend to go to Bukit Merak. Chien Wan still wants to meet with Pendekar Sung because he wants to bring up any clues he has got. He also wanted to tell about his meeting with Madame Tung Pei and the opinion expressed by the old woman.

As the day approached, they rested near the river.

They ate the provisions they brought from the Butterfly Party, in the form of some bread and cakes. Kui Fang had inquired about Chien Wan's impaired sense of taste as he told how Ting Ting finally knew that Chien Wan had not attacked him. That's why he is no longer fussy about the taste of cooking. And he also did not comment on the bread that was actually less tasty.

After eating, they sat on a large rock.

A look at Chien Wan's eyes flashed and he took out his flute and brought the inflatable hole closer to his lips. Start he blew it, played a beautiful musical rhythm. He was swept away in the tone he was blowing, to the point of barely realizing Kui Fang's presence by his side.

Kui Fang looked at her charmingly. He doesn't really understand music, but he enjoys it well. He loved the song that Chien Wan had blown and was fascinated by the young man's skills. It was not wrong for people to call him Death Flute!

The tone stopped when Chien Wan finished and he took a breath.

Kui Fang exhaled the breath he held back from being so astonished. He forgot when he began to hold his breath in amazement. “Wow!” whispered astonished. “You are great, Sister Wan.”

Chien Wan turned her head and found a pair of clear and honest eyes staring at her full of warmth. Heart melted. “Thank you,” he said slowly.

Kui Fang moved closer. He put his forehead close to Chien Wan's arm. The warmth still filled his heart so he was barely aware of what he was doing. He needed to be close to the young man to vent the newness of his heart.

Surprisingly, Chien Wan's trembling feeling received this gentle and innocent treatment. For a long time he had not felt this kind of feeling. He did not even know if he would ever feel this kind of warmth after his world collapsed two years ago when he found out that the girl he loved was his sister.

For a few moments they were drowning in silence. Forgetting everything except their existence to each other.

Until finally, Kui Fang raised his head. His face was red. He just realized his actions and felt a bit awkward. He looked up at Chien Wan to see her reaction. How relieved his heart was to see Chien Wan did not seem to mind.

“Let's continue the journey,” take Chien Wan while standing up and keep her flute under her cloak. Then he jumped down from the big rock. His hand was extended so that Kui Fang could come down by holding on to him.

They started walking again.

It was then that Chien Wan suddenly remembered the shredding of the black cloth he had found. He took out a piece of the cloth and showed it to Kui Fang.

“I found this branch in the Bamboo Forest,” said Chien Wan.

Kui Fang was shocked. “When did you go to the Bamboo Forest?”

“Some days before the 40 days commemoration of my uncle and aunt.”

“Why don't you wait there?”

Chien Wan sighed. “I can't see Sen Khang's hatred. I was determined not to see her before her suspicion of me disappeared.”

“Means you can now!”

Chien Wan frowned. “I hope to find out first who did it. After that, I went to Sen Khang.”

Kui Fang grabbed the shred of the cloth. With the tip of his index finger and thumb he rubbed the delicate material. “It's a nice silk fabric,” the comment. “Sutra of this kind is quite expensive.”

“You understand a lot about fabric?”

Kui Fang's smile. “We at the Butterfly Party like to wear beautiful clothes and made from fine. We also love bright colors. Since our members are many, it always has to be provided a lot of fabric material to make new clothes. Just in case the color of our clothes starts to fade and the material starts to rough.”

Chien Wan smiled slightly, understand.

Back Kui Fang's attention turned to shredding the cloth. “This must be the clothes of the person disguised as you, Sister Wan. And he got stuck in a bush while trying to escape.”

Kui Fang lifted the shred to his nose and sniffed it. “It's not too pronounced, but it seems like this fabric used to smell good, right?”

“Ya, you're right.”

“Surely the person disguised as you is a dandy young man; happy fragrances and nice clothes. Or at least this person likes to dress well and pay attention to comfort. He likes to wear soft clothes to be comfortable on the skin. And he also did not forget to apply fragrances, probably due to habit.” Kui Fang frowned and continued to look at the cloth.

Chien Wan was a bit jolted. Right too, he thought. He didn't think it through there. Apparently Kui Fang is quite smart. Just based on a small piece of cloth, he was able to guess the state of the perpetrator. Of course, if it is true that the shredding of the cloth came from the perpetrator.

“Do you suspect someone with this kind of appearance?” ask Kui Fang.

Chien Wan thought hard and shook her head.

***

They were still discussing for a while as some people jumped up and blocked them. Chien Wan and Kui Fang recognize them as Hao Sing Yat the Tiger of Kang Lam and his men. They had a feud a few months ago.

“Suling Death, you came to deliver life!” hao Sing Yat Pongah. “You will not escape because you are now under siege by warriors. You won't get mercy from them!” He did not know that now the good name of Chien Wan has recovered, that all martial artists of the World no longer pursue him. That was why he was no longer afraid to face Chien Wan.

Chien Wan stared coldly. “You again!” grunts.

“Don't be arrogant!” hardik Hao Sing - Yat. “I lost to you before. But now you can't escape!”

At that time, go for the thinnest person among those people. The man was wearing luxurious and ornate clothes. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were gray. His face looked wise, yet his eyes were emitting abomination. He is the elder brother of Hao Sing Yat who also met Chien Wan in Bukit Merak, because he was one of Cheng Sam's men. It's just that Chien Wan doesn't recognize him anymore.

“Suling Death,” say hello. “What an honor to meet you.”

Chien Wan remained silent with a deep frown.

Kai Tung Lok waited for a welcome from Chien Wan and was offended that Chien Wan was silent, not saying a word. He was furious that Chien Wan had underestimated him in silence. He leapt before Chien Wan, clutching his weapon in the form of a whip.

“Prepare to pick up your death!”

Chien Wan raised her face and saw a whip strike right towards her face. He leapt back to avoid the whip, but to his surprise he found that it suddenly swerved like a snake and was ready to poke a spot behind his neck. Chien Wan dodged again. The whip again whipped towards the point on his chest and this time Chien Wan did not dodge but rather plucked out her flute and fended off. The tip of the whip tightly coiled Chien Wan's flute.

Chien Wan gripped her flute tightly. He felt the drunkenness of Kai Tung Lok getting closer and closer to his flute and trying to pull it. He exerted his inner strength to defend his flute and at the same time to pull the whip from Kai Tung Lok's hand.

This inner stir was witnessed with a thumping heart by Kui Fang. He was very worried. And in his worries he became careless. He was completely unaware of Hao Sing Yat's presence behind him. But then he heard a faint breath. He turned around and faced Hao Sing Yat's grinning face.

Reflexes he screams.

Hao Sing Yat floated up the toot quickly and made the girl limp. Then he fluttered carrying her.

This scream excited Chien Wan. In panic, his inner strength doubled and he pulled the whip strong. The tar! The whip split in two. Kai Tung Lok staggered while holding a piece of whip.

Soon Kai Tung Lok mustered his body lightening and jumped away.

Chien Wan is chasing.

“Kui Fang!” loudly shouting. He was panicking because he had lost track. Where did they take Kui Fang?
