THE DEADLY BATTLE WITH SAN HU WEI 1

"Aarrggh!"

"Grandmaster!" This time it was Wang Yue who got worried. He instantly supported the grandmaster. "Grandmaster! What's the matter, Grandmaster?!"

The grandmaster held his breath. But he warded Wang Yue's hands. "I am okay." He did not look in pain anymore. This time he stared at Hu Nayin suspiciously.

"I sense a very obvious aura of displeasure." Grandmaster's voice was not flat any longer, but hoarse and deep.

Afraid that the grandmaster would feel offended by Hu Nayin's manner, Wu Qi quickly explained. "Pardon, Grandmaster, don't get us wrong, but Ma'am Hu is in trouble, it's great depression which makes her like this..."

"Not only this woman. But more... something inside her is rejecting me. To be precise, the baby in her womb." The grandmaster's eyes narrowed. "Who is she actually? And, who is the baby she is carrying?"

Wang Yue was astonished. "Ah... that..."

"Are they the members of the imperial family?!"

Wu Qi was startled. On the other hand, Wang Yue remained silent for a while, before answered. "That's right... Grandmaster. She is... Zhou Wang Fei."

"Zhou Wang Fei? Then, she is the wife of Zhou Wang?"

"Yes."

"And her baby is the son or daughter of Zhou Wang?!"

"Indeed."

Grandmaster was agape. "How come the unusual guest you bring is Zhou Wang's wife?!"

"That..." Soon after, Wang Yue told him about the incident that happened last night.

The grandmaster sat down, fanning himself with a large and beautiful cloth fan. He smiled strangely. "The Ming family cannot escape the summons of Fate, inevitably. Before the Hongwu Emperor was a member of Bai Lian Jiao, the reason why he could ascend the throne to become Emperor was because of Bai Lian Jiao's help, but his lust for power made him apostate to the sect that had helped him, he even sealed Bai Lian Jiao and labeled it as a forbidden sect. Now, his grandbaby is pushed by Fate to come here, look, isn't Fate ridiculous? He mocks all of us." He took a teacup and sipped it. "The grandbaby seems angry with this mock, so he rejects me."

Wu Qi pressed his lips as she looked at Hu Nayin, who was still motionless and showed the same haggard expression.

"Before I thought, the extraordinary person you are bringing must be a highly skilled paranormals, or a talented martial arts warrior. I never expect that their extraordinariness is not a matter of ability, but a matter of status." The grandmaster sighed. "It's screwd up. We can't continue this ordination ceremony today."

Wu Qi was very relieved with grandmaster's statement.

"Then, they can't be Bai Lian Jiao members?" Wang Yue frowned. Wang Yue's question turned Wu Qi's relief into worry. If they were not accepted as Bai Lian Jiao members, they might be told to leave the house.

"I don't know. But from the sense I get, this madam is still deeply attached to her previous life. Especially with her husband. You have watched it by yourself, her body is here, but not with her soul, right? Her soul still remains in Kaifeng Palace."

For a split second, Wu Qi's worry turned to disappointment.

"Ah, love." Grandmaster sighed. "Love is actually suffering, because everything is impermanent, and when something we love is taken away from us, we suffer. And this madam will suffer more, since her loved one not only dumps her, but also wants to take her life." He gazed at Hu Nayin. But this time, the look in his eyes changed, he appeared to feel sorry for Hu Nayin. "Alright then. Let this madam cultivate herself first. As time goes by, she will increasingly be willing to accept her fact. Then we can discuss it further at that time."

"How wise you are, Grandmaster." Wang Yue smiled broadly. It turned out that he also expected the same. So did Wu Qi, he also smiled happily.

He had more time to consider this ordination carefully.

***

On their way back to the Center of Bai Lian Jiao, something shocking had come to their sight.

"What's going on there?..." Wang Yue was stunned for a moment as he saw a large number of people were gathering in front of the Center of Bai Lian Jiao. But as a highly-skilled military soldier, Wu Qi's instinct reacted immediately. His eyebrows rose, he was soon fully aware. "Can it be...!"

"Royal Army!" Wang Yue unsheathed his sword. "Shit! They're targeting our base!"

Wang Yue soon ran forward. On the other hand, he forbade Wu Qi to follow him.

"Their purpose for coming here is definitely to find both of you. You have to find a safe place, especially Ma'am Hu can't do martial arts and she is pregnant, you have to protect her."

"But, the royal army comes on a large scale. Can you fight against them?!..."

"By helping us we just get help from one person, it can't give a significant impact. Remember, most of us are skilled in martial arts. You should consider more about Ma'am Hu's safety!"

"Auch!..." Wu Qi was forced to stay where he was, because after all, he agreed with Wang Yue, and he should appreciate his kindness, but still, it was so painful to see Wang Yue and other Bai Lian Jiao members sacrificing themselves just for their sake. Gloomily, he watched Wang Yue stepped into the combat zone and now began to fight with the troops.

"They are there! Catch them!"

Wu Qi gritted his teeth. It turned out that they were ended up getting discovered anyway. So much San Hu Wei soldiers were currently deployed right now, perhaps it had reached a hundred. Their weaponry was also superior, and irresistible. Rather than for catching people, it would be better to say that they were about to combat in warfare.

Your Highness... how can you be so vicious just because of a woman?!

The soldiers quickly shifted their focus, now busy in chasing after them. Wu Qi quickly carried Hu Nayin. Then turning his steps, to run away from the Center of Bai Lian Jiao.

I really apologize, Brother Wang, but I must protect Wang Fei, despite everything. All of you have been so kind to us, I'm very grateful for that, but now I can't help you even if I want to. Farewell, may you be protected by the Buddhas.
