Legend Of Lightning Warriors II: The Eye of the Gods
Traveling Together
Hearing Ong San's question, Shin Shui immediately glanced at him. But he did not answer directly. The Thunderbolt Swordsman gulped down his wine jar once more before speaking.
After which, Shin Shui sighed deeply to just calm his mind.
"Nothing," he replied softly while smilingly trying to cover up his true circumstances.
"Young Master, all the humans on the face of this earth, from the first man created until now, it feels like there is no human being who has no problems. Whoever he is, must have their own problems. Even me or maybe you, there must be a problem" Ong San said in disbelief of his master.
"Indeed right. What you're saying is reality, but my problems I can face on my own. I'm still strong,"
"You're not strong, you're strengthening, you're strengthening,"
"How can you talk to me like that?"
"Your face said it. I can clearly see that behind your smile, there is a huge burden that you are facing right now. And you yourself, feel tired and want to release that burden immediately. It's just, unfortunately, you can't do that,"
Shin Shui was silent. The words of his best friend were heart-piercing. Everything that is said is true. But he still tried to cover it up by constantly saying no.
"Even if you say no a thousand times, I will not believe it. If you think of me as your best friend, tell me your problem. A friend will help each other out. Likes and sorrows are passed together, it's just a friend," said the white ape demon and then downed his wine jar.
Shin Shui did not answer. Because he didn't find the right answer.
The big problem he is facing right now. And he also wants to get out of this problem. Unfortunately, Shin Shui was unable to. He was completely unable to escape his problems.
"Where did you learn to talk like this? Even you started to dare to say that to me," Shin Shui said slightly surprised.
As long as they knew each other, it felt like just recently that both San Ong and Ong San dared to say so far to Shin Shui.
He himself wanted to not believe. Unfortunately, he had to believe it because this incident was indeed real.
"Didn't the Young Master himself always talk about what I was talking about just now? Young Master taught, Young Master also told. Then, why is Young Master even like this? Isn't it funny?"
"Nrou …"
Ong San's words just now really reached the bottom of his heart.
He always talks to those closest to him. Provide solutions for those who have problems. Provide assistance to those in need.
Now then, why is he even like that?
"Hahaha, you're right. I remember now, forgive me," Shin Shui said laughing as he patted Ong San's shoulder.
Ong San also laughed revealing a row of flat teeth. After all, he was still an ape demon. A little, the instincts and habits of an animal or a demon, remain in him.
"So now how, you still don't want to tell me your problem?" ask Ong San again.
"Of course I want to. Because you're my best friend" replied Shin Shui.
Before he spoke, he went back to drinking.
"Actually my goal to the Eastern border is to find someone,"
"Who?" ask Ong San to get serious.
"The one who's been disguised as me,"
"What has he done to Young Master?".
"Hemm, the point is he always makes trouble on my behalf. So now my name's a little ugly because of what that guy did,"
"Then, does the Young Master know who he really is?"
"No. But I'm sure that the culprit was a warrior from outside the Wei Empire,"
"Maybe it could be too. Do you mean he's from the Sung Empire?"
"How do you know I thought that?"
"Right," said Shin Shui in excitement.
"When will the Young Master leave?" ask Ong San.
"Maybe tomorrow morning,"
"We're coming, man,"
"No, you guys just stay here. What's more, San Ong's condition, he hasn't fully recovered,"
Shin Shui certainly did not want to trouble his two best friends. At first he did intend to invite them, but after finding that the situation was not as expected, then Pendekar Halilintar would not invite the two ape demons.
"Who said I'm not healed yet?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
San Ong's.
The white ape demon walked quietly and his steps were light. Even now he looks much better than before.
"Well, Young Master heard it for himself, didn't he? So, you still don't want to take us?" ask Ong San.
"But I …"
"If the Young Master still does not want to invite us, it is better that we never meet again" San Ong asserted and sat on the edge of Ong San.
Shin Shui was confused. His two best friends had spoken the ultimate words.
He did not want to lose his two best friends. After all, does anyone want to lose their own best friend? Of course not. No one wants to lose their best friend.
That's for sure.
"Hahh .." he breathed. "Alright, alright. You guys can come along," said Shin Shui could no longer refuse.
"That's right" said San Ong excitedly.
The two ape demons jumped up and down so happy. They're back to partying like they were a few days ago.
In the morning, the three friends made preparations. All three were ready to leave for an area on the Eastern border.
They are currently having breakfast while enjoying the sunrise with the cool air. The roasted deer has matured, the wine has been prepared.
They had breakfast together, punctuated by laughter.
After all the preparations were completed, the three then descended Mount San-ong.
Shin Shui deliberately did not fly because he wanted to enjoy the journey with his two best friends. Whereas if he wanted to, San Ong and Ong San could be put first into the Demon Pouch.
Unfortunately, the two monkey demons did not want to. Maybe because they already feel homesick about the journey as they currently do together.
"Hahh .. we finally feel the journey we have been craving for all this time San Ong. Finally we come out of the nest .." cried Ong San then followed by the typical laughter of an ape.
The two demon brothers occasionally tangled in the branches of trees around them.
They seem to enjoy this trip.
Something they had imagined. Walk together. Running together. And pass it all together anyway.
Will this togetherness continue as it was before? Or is this togetherness just gonna get here?
No one knows for sure whether the two ape demons will return to follow the Thunderbolt in defending the truth or not.
Obviously, anything can happen.
