The Adventure of the Kecapi
Chapter 84

"We from Hoa San do not seek enmity, but we believe that cobras do not steal the treasure. So if they are slandered, we are ready to defend them!" chairman of Hoa San College.

Even though he did not say anything, the attitude of the students of the white swallow college and the red stick beggar society, as well as some white swordsmen, were also, it appears from their attitude that they are ready to fight to defend the college cobra.

Meanwhile, chief Thio Kong now raised both hands in front of his chest, saluting everyone.

"Brothers, believe me that we know absolutely nothing about treasure, let alone steal it. If we steal it, there's no way the dashing people here are defending us. So, we hope that you do not recklessly accuse and believe fake news, and provoke uproar and hostility here. If someone steals a treasure and claims to live in the cobra's college. Let's race to find it, and not fight each other over unnoticed things where they are!" exclaims chief Thio Kong loudly.

"Who needs and cares about property? Now, as we gather, I wish to challenge anyone who dares to pit my martial arts against me, Cu Liong, please come forward!" exclaimed Cu Liong loudly.

However, everyone thought that chief Thio Kong's remark was correct and they did not care about Cu Liong's challenge. In addition to a bit of excitement to welcome the challenge of the chairman of Bukit Merak, also they all came to this cobra snake college because they were interested in the treasure of the Han Kingdom, and they all came to this cobra, not to complain of knowledge that might bring death to them.

They then began to disperse themselves leaving the place. Cu Ai was eager to meet Hua Li, but her father had already pulled his arm, invited to leave the place with the others.

Meanwhile, the friendly and respectful leader of Thio Kong invited those who had sided and supported the cobra college to enter and chat in the main building of the cobra college.

The one who received the invitation was Thian Yu from the white swallow college and his three students, the Kui chairman of the red stick beggar society, Heng Tin from the Hoa San college, who was the leader of Kui from the red stick beggar society, Sin Lan and Sin Lin from the Valley of a thousand flowers were with two peach flower disciples Ling Ling and Ching Mei, Liu Ceng and Hua Li.

"Thank you for the arrival and defense of our dear brothers and sisters, especially for your belief that we did not take the treasure. We also heard that the treasure relic of the Han Kingdom was reportedly stolen by people who claimed to live in the skull mountains. If that is true, let us investigate because the Skull Mountains are so vast. But of course you already know that the real right to have is Liu Ceng's brother, who received the map as the legacy of his father, the Commander of the Han Kingdom, the late Liu Bok. Now, we hope that brother Ceng can retell the origin of the treasure to all of us so that we know more clearly, as well as brother Ceng's intention to get the treasure." chief Thio Kong said kindly.

All eyes looked at Liu Ceng. Hua Li did not dare to look directly at her because every time he met that gaze of the young man he loved, his heart trembled.

He felt that he had hurt the young man's heart when he told him that he had become engaged to another young man, his older brother Chen Bun. Between him and Liu Ceng there was already a deep love affair. But in the eyes of Liu Ceng to him, there was no remorse or anger at all, only the novelty that made Hua Li more submissive, pity and haru that filled his heart.

Then Liu Ceng heard him tell a story with his always soft and calm voice.

"My dear brothers and sisters, I will tell you briefly. The treasure was a treasure of the Han Kingdom that was corrupted or stolen by Bong officials who used to rule within the palace. The treasure was then hidden by Bong officials and he made a map for the treasure's hideout. When Father, as commander in chief, raided and destroyed the corrupt, evil and allied officials of the Mongols, Father found the map and kept it. Then before Father and Mother were killed by an army led by Mongol Commander Lim Bao and his aides, Father left the map to me. In a cunning way Commander Bao can coerce me and this sister Hua by charming my sister Liu Hong. We were forced to hand over the map and help him search for treasure. It turned out that the treasure was planted on the Hill of Heaven but after we found it, the chest of the treasure was empty and there was only a carving of cobras inside. We managed to escape and since then the news spread that the treasure was stolen by people from the cobra college then everyone then flocked to the skull mountains. I felt obliged to find the treasure and fulfill my father's message that it should be given to those who deserve it." Liu Ceng explained.

 "Who deserves that? please make it clear that we all know and feel confident that we are on the right side" chief minister Thio Kong said.

Everyone nodded their heads, who expressed their agreement.

"Then that's the point, we're all ready to help you find the treasure, brother Ceng!" yell at one of them. They agreed to search separately and if anyone found any signs of where the treasure was.

Then Hua Li, Liu Ceng The Kui Lan, The Kui Lin, Ling ling, and Cing Mei tree. These six young people had the opportunity to talk and get to know each other.

Sin Lin swiftly introduced the two wale disciples to Cun Giok. In an excited atmosphere, they arranged for the treasure search plan.

"Sister Ceng, we will both help you and we will search. If successful, of course we will give news through the cobra school" said Sin Lan.

 "The two of us will accompany you, big brother Lan and Lin!" said the excited Ling Ling.

Liu Ceng and Hua smiled hearing that. The two peach blossom girls did not hide their admiration and affection for the two sisters.
