Warning: Nothing explicit, but there is a mention of rape in this chapte
Before nightfall, a Shaolin disciple told Cheng Mo that the demonic girl wanted to see him.
“Alright,” Cheng Mo already predicted this, and followed the disciple to the place where the demonic girl was detained.
Cheng Mo pushed the door in, and saw that the light in the room was dim, and the woman was sitting quietly by the bed, as if waiting for Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo called out when he entered, “Miss.”
The woman laughed lightly, “Just an abandoned woman, where is it still a miss.”
Cheng Mo heard those words, knowing that this woman was going to expose her heart, couldn’t help but relax his steps and walked slowly to a place not far from her.
The woman said: “My surname is Zhu, and my name is Yuqin. I grew up in a small village on the hillside of Song Mountain, together with my father to live. I had a fiance arranged at birth. My father saved their family’s life. At that time, that family made a solemn vow to tie our families in marriage. Unexpectedly, that family became a well-known wealthy family at the foot of Song Mountain. My fiance disliked me and did not want to marry me, so he found a few hoodlums to rape me, then forcibly broke the marriage on the grounds that I was not a pure body. My father was brokenhearted, fell gravely ill and lost his life. My every hope turned into dust and I wanted to follow my father. When I tried to drown myself, a woman rescued me, she took me back to Shuiyue Sect, and the Sect Leader taught me martial arts and told me a method to get revenge, this was how I can survive to this day.” [tl: “Every hope turned into dust” (万念俱灰) means to be completely devastated or disheartened]
Cheng Mo asked: “You returned to Song Mountain, just for revenge?”
Yuqin said: “Yes, who said I didn’t? It’s a pity that at the last moment, I was interrupted by those bald donkeys.”
Cheng Mo sighed, “The time to report this injustice…”
Yuqin raised her head and asked, “Then dare to ask Hero Cheng, my father’s life, and my grievances, who should I call?”
Cheng Mo also didn’t know how to answer her. As he sees it, this woman’s grievance could really only paid by the person’s life, but how could he tell this woman to harm others?
When Cheng Mo heard her talk about the sect leader, he couldn’t help but think of Shu Changhua, and suddenly felt that this person was not such a heinous person.
Yuqin said, “Now that I am caught by these bald donkeys, I know that I can’t escape. I only have one wish that I want Hero Cheng to help me realize.”
Cheng Mo said, “You say it.”
Yuqin got up and said, “I came to Song Mountain, and I haven’t yet had time to worship my deceased father. I don’t know if Hero Cheng can help me fulfill this wish.”
Cheng Mo thought for a while and replied: “This is not difficult, but after that, I want you to take me to find someone.”
Yuqin wondered: “Who?”
Cheng Mo said: “The leader of your sect — Shu Changhua.”
Yuqin was slightly surprised when she heard the words, “Please forgive Yuqin for being unable to complete this difficult task! Hero Cheng, Yuqin knows that you are a good person, but the sect leader is also a good person. I will not take you, these so-called righteous Wulin, to deal with the Shuiyue Sect.”
Cheng Mo coughed somewhat unnaturally, “Miss Yuqin, you have misunderstood. I’m looking for Shu Changhua for personal reasons, not to take the opportunity to eradicate the Shuiyue Sect. Cheng Mo is an honest person who does no underhanded things. One day I will certainly lead the Wulin to righteously eradicate the Shuiyue Sect, not secretly threaten you to take me there.”
Yuqin was still uncertain and did not promise Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo also didn’t force Yuqin, and said to her, “No matter what, I will accompany you to worship your father, and I will prepare for it.”
Nian Yuan heard that Cheng Mo was going to take the demonic girl out of the temple, and couldn’t help but worry: “Alliance Leader Cheng must be certain, how about this poor monk to seal the demon girl’s skill to avoid any incidents.
Cheng Mo said: “No need. Cheng Mo believes that the girl didn’t lie to me, she is just a pitiful person.”
Nian Yuan said: “Amitabha, Alliance Leader Cheng has a benevolent heart, the blessing to the Wulin.”
Cheng Mo bowed and said, “Master has overpraised, how can Cheng Mo accept it.”
With Shaolin’s consent, Cheng Mo took Yuqin and left Shaolin Temple. The two rode a pair horses along the cliff where Yuqin remembered where her father was buried.
There indeed was a solitary grave beside the cliff. Cheng Mo helped Yuqin burn incense at the tomb. Yuqin knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, got up and said to Cheng Mo, “Let’s go.”
The two got on their horses and left, the road down the mountain was a straight narrow path, next to the cliff edge.
They saw two madams on the opposite side, climbing the mountain, and said as they walked: “I heard that Young Master Xiao at the bottom of the mountain is dead.” [tl: CM and YQ going down, the two other women going up, hence “opposite sides”]
“Died?”
“En, died on a woman’s bed, don’t know where that enchantress came from. I heard that a master of the Shaolin Temple arrested her and took her back up the mountain.”
“You are talking about that Young Master Xiao who abandoned Yuqin before?”
“Precisely him, consider it karma.”
Yuqin and Cheng Mo controlled their horses, listening to the conversation between the two as they slowly moved away.
Cheng Mo suddenly let out a sigh, and said to Yuqin: “You can be considered as having gotten your revenge.”
With tears in Yuqin’s eyes, she smiled and said, “Yes ah, gotten revenge. My father in the sky, he must be in peace now.”
Cheng Mo felt a little pity, and said, “You should also let this matter go.”
Yuqin nodded and said, “Thank you, Hero Cheng. If it wasn’t for people like Hero Cheng and our sect leader, Yuqin would really think that all men in our time are fickle. If Yuqin has another life, I also hope to meet someone like Hero Cheng, consider it a life’s worth of fortune.”
Author’s Note: Suddenly feel like I’m long-winded… but Gong #3 will finally make an appearance
Poor Yuqin At least that guy got what he deserved. Gong #3 is coming next chapter!
Also “Cheng Mo” won in the last poll, so it’ll stay that way.
