The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 205. Grumpy

Was it true that Zhang Qiaofeng back then saw his helper figure as Lin Tian? Are his eyes not lying to themselves because of deep sorrow? Even if it was Lin Tian, how could the masked young man next to that face get there.

All of these questions were extremely confusing especially to Zhang Qiaofeng. The Zhang family leader's girl did not even sleep a full night after successfully wiping out the red district. This is of course due to the appearance of the assistant swordsman.

"It wasn't Kang Lim. who helped us wasn't Lim's grandfather...."

A hundred? Two hundred? Or thousand? Or even more? No one knew what the exact number was, to be sure, the girl had already repeated those words over and over again.

"N-miss.do not think too much.you are still tired, rest..."

The female servant also continued to advise and persuade Zhang Qiaofeng. Whether I had several times the advice and persuasion from the woman, which was clear, the number was likely not much different from Zhang Qiaofeng's murmur.

Zhang Qiaofeng glared and threw away his coarse blanket while rising to his feet to glare at his servant.

"You know what? You didn't take part in the attack, you know what I saw!"

"But.nona...."

"Get out!! There's still a lot of work for you, right? How long have you been in my room!?"

"S-I always accompany miss..not even slept last night...."

"Good! If you get sick and die, I'll be the scapegoat. Go and don't come back here if I still see that black makeup in your eyes!" this clash was uttered by Zhang Qiaofeng while pointing at his servant's blackened eyelids. This was because he was sleep deprived and did not rest.

Unable to argue any further, the servant finally left and left Zhang Qiaofeng's room. This girl sighed heavily at the weight of her servant, she sat herself down on the bed after her right hand picked up the little book and stationery on the table.

The seventh day of the seventh month, you vented all your sorrow in my arms with the sunset as a witness. But shortly after, you had to leave me with the excuse of protecting this meager life....

The twenty-sixth day of the twelve months, we meet again after a long time. Again I saw tears drip down after these two hands grabbed your body. Only difference, your cry is not the cry of sadness as it used to be, not the cry of heartbreak due to the loss of a precious and dear person. I see clearly with these two eyes.you smile in your tears....

The seventh day of the sixth month, I heard clearly using these two ears you swore that there would be nothing to separate you and me from death. The evidence? Why did you leave so suddenly?

The seventh day of the third month, did these eyes lie to me? Even so, can I believe this lie? With the same eyes when I see you, when I see your smile, when I see your cry, I see you come to my rescue. Is this a lie or a hope?

On the seventh day, who are you? Are you really part of one of the days that perfected the word one week ? Really it? Why do you always bring hope to me, and then you let me down the next day?

On the seventh day, are you an angel masked devil? It's a pleasure to play with my fate. Why do you always give good news but always end up disappointed? Wh why?

Zhang Qiaofeng stopped his writing, his hands growing more and more trembling. Shortly after, he felt a twitch in his eyes and a feeling of tightness in his chest. Without notice, tears as clear as pearls fell soaking his writing on the paper.

He bit his lower lip, brought the tip of his pen closer and re-scratched the object to produce beautiful letters in his little book.

Hey, seventh day, for the third time, will you ever again inflict disappointment on me? If so, then do it! I'll face it all.

But if you would like to hear this little word and lamentation of my little heart, then please....

If you're going to disappoint me, at least don't make my vision that day a lie...

...****************...

Is it true that the savior figure was Lin Tian? Yes, indeed he was Lin Tian the Fog Ghost Swordsman whose appearance was only approximately one year in the Northern region there.

Let's take a look at the young man's adventure after being allowed to descend the mountain by his teacher.

After all these years Lin Tian trained hard under the guidance of his teacher, Wang Ling Xue, he had finally managed to perfect the five almighty sciences.

The first is the science of lightening the body which is none other than the Lightning Step. The second and third is the legendary silat science of the creation of the ancient warrior, Ling Sian. Of course that silat science is the Snow Dragon Dancing and Fire Eater Mega.

The fourth and fifth are the sciences created by the same person, namely the White Lotus Sword and the Science of Inner Serenity.

This young man has mastered the five sciences to the level equivalent to his teachers. Do not forget anyway, the magic air processed in his body has also reached the stage of perfection. So it was not impossible if Lin Tian could defeat Wang Ling Xue.

After refining those sciences, Lin Tian was finally allowed by his teacher to descend the mountain. But there was something different this time.

Just before going on an adventure, Lin Tian and Wang Ling Xue were having a conversation.

"Haha.seems like your non has missed you too much. You should get home soon!" tease Wang Ling Xue while nudging her disciple's arm.

Surprising and unexpected things happen. That handsome face turned gloomy and dark. The young man's lips smiled, but his eyes were empty. All of that was able to make Wang Ling Xue understand the implied meaning of his student's unpleasant expression.

"Yes.guru's right..."

"What do you mean?"

"I'd be very happy if the lady misses me."

"You lied!" hardik Wang Ling Xue looked sharply.

"What the hell with that fattening expression, aren't you glad to be reunited with your non-you!? Tell me!"

Lin Tian sighed, it was hard to tell his heart grievances and burdens to others because it was considered embarrassing. But what could be done, he had to say all at least to slightly lighten the heavy burden on both shoulders.

"I, however, have betrayed Ms. and Ms. Zhang's family. As I recall, the saddest betrayal I've done twice."

Wang Ling Xue was wide-eyed, spontaneously asking her half-screaming. "What do you mean!?"

Lin Tian was not surprised to hear his teacher's shock. He looked at the star-studded night sky with a blank and hard to interpret gaze.

"First of all, I have dared to master the science of Inner Serenity while the ancestors of Ling Sian and Zhang Ci said that the book should not be studied other than by his descendants. It should be the master of it, miss."

"But since his lady and grandfather didn't mind, even Chong San's grandfather and you don't mind, it makes me feel relieved." Lin Tian paused for a moment before continuing to speak.

"But the saddest thing about this heart is that I have sworn to the lady that I will continue with her unless death separates. And right now, as the teacher saw for himself, I had been separated from him for years while I was still alive. Isn't this betrayal?" lin Tian's face looked frustrated.

However, instead of giving advice and support, Wang Ling Xue laughed out loud.

"What a funny thing!!" snapped Lin Tian felt that his story was not appreciated.

"Hahaha, that's obviously funny! You're talking that you've betrayed your non, and I don't think your non has made a big deal of such trivialities. So who is the one who betrayed? You to the Zhang family or yourself to yourself?"

"What does that mean?"

Until a long time Wang Ling Xue kept laughing without noticing Lin Tian's question. Until he suddenly pointed at Lin Tian's face and looked sharply, the words coming out of his mouth sounded very serious and intimidating.

"You..If it were possible and not impossible, would you still want to protect your non, even though your body is dead?"

"Of course!"

"Isn't that betrayal too? You swear that death can separate you both. If you're dead while your spirit still follows wherever it goes, can it still be considered farewell?"

"Lin Tian, you're still too green and naive. Loyalty and betrayal are not such things. You are not dead yet, while your entire body and spirit still want to continue to protect Ms. Zhang, that is true loyalty. But if you think you're currently a traitor because you're separated from your non-death without cause, I'm confused whether you feel inferior for being a traitor or do you really want to separate him from your life?"

Lin Tian was wide-eyed and his face turned pale, he immediately kowtowed before his teacher and said out loud.

"My entire body always shouts Miss Zhang's name, I won't betray her by a single hair. Please don't say such horrible things again teacher!!"

"Lin Tian.Answer my question and this will determine everything. You're still a young man with no experience, so you may still find it very difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Answer this, do you still want to protect Miss Zhang?"

"The answer is clear, I want to!!"

"But you feel like a lowly human being for betraying your non?"

"True teacher!"

"Then, if you go back means you have no shame whereas if you leave you lose your loyalty. Then why don't you just continue your loyalty from afar?"

Lin Tian raised his face slowly then said softly.

"I mean teacher?"

"Protect him from afar. Maybe you're no longer a bodyguard who's always by his side wherever he goes. But for the rest of your life you will remain the Fog Ghost Swordsman of the Zhang family!" w.a.n.g Ling Xie said with a smile that managed to make Lin Tian's spirit rise again.

"Forget the betrayal, if you are truly loyal find the most appropriate way to show your loyalty, not even dissolve in sadness just because of one or two mistakes! Go North, should the Zhang family send their troops there to help the Song empire."

Lin Tian looked bright and got up to his feet quickly.

"Good teacher!"
