The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Clap Next to Hand

Hao Zhao had only come out of the arena area when night was approaching and the atmosphere there was already quite quiet, people had indeed left the place where the tournament was held for a long time including Yang Gao making it seem as if only Hao Zhao was there.

“The nighttime atmosphere of Dahan Gugur city has never disappointed me," murmured Hao Zhao while walking down the city streets at night.

Still quite crowded indeed those who are active even though the night has come, even, not to mention because the spread of Hao Zhao's name lately seemed to attract more and more outsiders to come there to meet their curiosity.

“Tomorrow is the peak day of the tournament that this city has won, it is not strange that visitors who come become more and more until the night can be this crowded," hao Zhao said quietly while watching everything he caught in his eyes.

Initially Hao Zhao did that as a form of his fatigue relief because for some reason it was as if he never got tired of him seeing the pseudo peace in his eyes, until Hao Zhao's eyes caught the two people he knew then he was completely distracted by them.

The two themselves are walking down a small road quite quiet when compared to the main road of the city, where Hao Zhao can hear also related to the two who are talking in the middle of each step.

The two themselves were none other than Li Kao as well as Meng Dali. Where Hao Zhao felt a little interested because despite knowing that the two knew each other, but did not expect it turned out that the two were that close so they could spend time together in the middle of their spare.

Hao Zhao himself initially only wanted to find out if Meng Dali also knew about Li Kao's plan to finish Jian San off, however, the Meng family also indirectly has something to do with this.

“Meng Kiao's anxiety this morning because of the disappearance of the two Iron Mask Members could be just Meng Kiao's pretense so they don't get dragged away, so it does not rule out the possibility that it turns out he knows everything about me who is the target of two members of the Iron Mask. Not to mention seeing Li Kao and Meng Dali who were this close ..." Hao Zhao muttered softly trying to guess.

Hao Zhao was indeed not a person who would be satisfied with just something uncertain, where he would only be able to completely calm down after knowing everything clearly to ensure an unhindered move forward.

“If indeed the Meng family has found out that I am the person being targeted by the members of the Iron Mask before their disappearance, then I do not mind removing the Meng family as well," said Hao Zhao without the slightest change in his expression.

Hao Zhao himself afterwards only focused his hearing to hear the conversation between the two, where the longer Hao Zhao listened somehow he became increasingly uncomfortable.

Indeed what Hao Zhao heard was not something related to the Meng family's relationship with Tang Pei as well as the Sword Mark sect that Li Kao came from, either, but rather something else that can be said is quite personal related to them.

The Meng family before coming to the city of Dahan Gugur turned out to be in charge of another city that happened to be near the Sword Marks sect, which was located in the vicinity of Dahan Gutur, this is why Meng Dali and Li Kao are close because they know each other from childhood.

Until the Meng family was transferred to take care of Dahan Gugur city, then they met again which was actually not how long since they separated but Li Kao's words that Hao Zhao heard as if it had been hundreds of years. That was at least what Hao Zhao managed to catch from the conversation of the two.

“No, what happened between them is not something that is important to me," said Hao Zhao who afterwards wanted to take a step to get away from there.

Hao Zhao just wanted to take a step to stop listening to the insignificant talk of the two, but Hao Zhao paused it because of Li Kao's sudden remark.

“What? Why did you reject me, Sister Dali? Didn't you like me all this time?" li Kao looked at Meng Dali in disbelief.

Meng Dali was just speechless not to say anything, where his face continued to bow as if refusing to stare back at Li Kao.

“Sister Dali, tell me what's your reason for rejecting me?!" Li Kao who began to raise his voice, where both his hands had also gripped the tight shoulder of Meng Dali to force him to speak.

Meng Dali was surprised, her facial expression had also changed due to enduring the pain of the grip on her shoulder.

Meng Dali heard Li Kao's screams immediately aghast, where it seemed like he did not expect that Li Kao had such a bad side in him.

“Brother Kao stop, this hurts me," said Meng Dali slowly, apparently trying to give understanding to Li Kao if what he did was too much.

Li Kao did not care at all about Meng Dali's words even more tightened the grip of his hand, where simultaneously the look of his eyes also turned violent seemed to contain a lot of anger.

“What is this because of the young man from the Treasure Lantern? You like him, don't you?" Li Kao with a tone of voice held in fury.

Meng Dali had hesitated to answer him, where this matter was caught by Li Kao as a sign of justification of his question.

“Damn it, you've gone too far!!! You reject me who's been a child continue to be with you to be with that bastard?!!" Li Kao while striking Meng Dali's body made him fall quite badly.

Meng Dali could only endure the pain from the wound on her leg due to a fall, where immediately looking at Li Kao in silence she did not feel familiar with Li Kao like this.

Li Kao who he considered a good friend who was almost always there was now stepping towards him with a cruel eye, where this certainly made Meng Dali afraid.

“T— no, please do not approach ..." Meng Dali.

“Do not approach? Hahaha, you have to make me suffer you fucking asshole. How dare you ignore my taste for love just because the bastard is not clear i—"

Bruck!!!

Li Kao had not had time to finish his words when he suddenly fell down, where the look of Meng Dali's eyes immediately widened knowing who the person who made Li Kao became like that.

Hao Zhao with an expressionless face was indeed behind Li Kao as the young man lost consciousness, where one of his hands was still clenched due to what he had just done.

“What is this thing called love clapping one hand? How sad, but besides, can you stop calling me a bastard? Other people can misunderstand the name" Hao Zhao said as if he didn't care even though Li Kao couldn't hear it.

Hao Zhao himself immediately turned to Meng Dali who was looking at him in a meaningful way, where he could only shake his head slowly because of the stupidity of the girl.

“You're a Purification swordsman while he's just a Body Training swordsman, why don't you just use your strength to beat him up when he dares to be rude to you?" Hao Zhao who along with the question took a step to leave from there, was not at all interested in hearing the answer of his question.

Meng Dali could only be speechless to see Hao Zhao drifting away, understanding that he could do so even if Hao Zhao did not say so.

Even so, it was not the power of Meng Dali to do because guilt rejected Li Kao's declaration of love, not to mention if you remember how close their friendship has been so far that makes Meng Dali even more unbearable.

“Sorry, Young Master Zhao. I'm so troublesome because of this stupid guilt," Meng Dali muttered softly not daring to imagine, would dare to act to what extent Li Kao if Hao Zhao did not stop him.
