Cheng Mo’s entire body when rigid again and up waiting for about half an hour before his body was finally able to move. He picked up the clothes that Hui Ji had thrown on him, put it on slowly, and then stroked the still throbbing earlobe with his fingers, and touched a round earring. Cheng Mo lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the water, and found that it was a small and round pearl with blood stains around the earlobe.
Cheng Mo endured the pain, tore off the earrings, looked at his bloody earlobes, and cupped lake water to clean it. [tl: DO NOT REMOVE EARRINGS LIKE THIS HJkk;DKJ]
Remembering that Yuqin was still lying in the cave, Cheng Mo had to drag his exhausted body, walked along the cave path where Hui Ji came out, and went back to search for Yuqin.
Cheng Mo returned to the cave and awakened Yuqin who was unconcious. The two walked along the mountain path back to the lake, and found another way to climb up the mountain.
Cheng Mo was tired and weary. The two of them found an inn in the small town at the foot of Song Mountain to rest in in. Cheng Mo slept all day and night.
When Cheng Mo woke up, Yuqin was sitting in the lobby and had ordered a table full of food. Cheng Mo was also very hungry, he held a bowl and scooped two spoonfuls of rice. Yuqin looked at him from the side and asked worriedly, “What happened in the cave?”
Cheng Mo avoided Yuqin’s gaze, “It’s nothing, I met a mountain beast was almost eaten.”
Yuqin was surprised: “Was it so powerful?”
Cheng Mo reluctantly smiled, “It’s okay, Miss Yuqin doesn’t need to worry too much.”
The table full of food had not been eaten yet when a little monk hurried in from outside the door and saw Cheng Mo said loudly, “Alliance Leader Cheng, I have found you!”
“What is it?” Cheng Mo asked.
The little monk looked anxious, “The Master asked me to bring you a letter, saying that the something big happened. The demon Hui Ji, who was imprisoned in the cave at the foot of the mountain, escaped for some reason!”
Cheng Mo pretended to be surprised, “How can this be?”
The little monk shook his head, “I don’t know, the Master personally went to the cave to check it out. He said the iron chain that trapped Hui Ji was actually broken by his internal force.”
Cheng Mo muttered: “What does Master Nian Bei intend?”
The little monk said: “Hui Ji had murdered the people of the Four Great Families in Jiangnan ten years ago, who knows what his plans are now. The Master hopes that Alliance Leader Cheng will inform the Wulin, firstly so one can be prepared, and secondly work together to capture Hui Ji.”
Cheng Mo nodded, “I understand, please tell Master Nian Bei, please feel free to leave it to Cheng Mo to handle this matter.”
The little monk quickly responded: “Yes, thank you Alliance Leader Cheng, this humble monk will go back and return.”
When the little monk left in a hurry, Cheng Mo was still frowning, and Yuqin asked, “Hero Cheng, are you planning to catch the demon Hui Ji yourself?”
Cheng Mo was taken aback and shook his head, “No, he just left Shaolin, just like a fish into the sea, it will be difficult to find him. I can only send a letter to the Wulin Alliance first, and let the Wulin Alliance disciplesuse my name to inform the Central Plains Wulin about Hui Ji’s matter.”
After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he said to Yuqin: “Miss Yuqin doesn’t need to call me Hero Cheng anymore, you and I are destined to walk the same road, and considered to have been brought together by fate, we can be considered older brother and younger sister.”
Yuqin covered her mouth and smiled: “Where are we older brother and younger sister, I think older sister and younger brother is more appropriate. From now on, I will call you Cheng Mo, and you have to call me Big Sister Yuqin.”
Cheng Mo smiled gently and called out, “Big Sister Yuqin.”
The corners of Yuqin’s eyes were slightly moist, “In the end, I can still have a younger brother, this can be my blessing.”
Cheng Mo sighed lightly, “Now that sister has avenged herself, there is no need to stay in Song Mountain anymore, let’s leave soon.”
When Yuqin heard the words, she hesitated: “You’re letting me go? Then how will you explain to Shaolin’s bald donkeys?”
Cheng Mo said, “Sister, don’t worry. The masters of Shaolin are not people who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Your grievances with that Young Master Xiao cannot be easily ended. Now that the enemy is dead, my sister might as well let go of these grievances in the future, and don’t practice harmful martial arts anymore. Peacefully find a reliable man to get married to.”
Yuqin smiled bitterly: “I am like this now, how can I still be eligible to marry?” [tl: in case you didn’t know, ancient times used to put great emphasis on a woman’s virginity. If a woman isn’t a virgin before marriage, there’s a very high chance the groom will reject her because she was seen as promiscuous. In fact, there are accounts where women were drowned for not being chaste before marriage]
Cheng Mo persuaded: “Sister, don’t say that. Marriage is something you can encounter but not ask for. If you don’t have a place to go for the time being, you can come back to the Wulin Alliance with Cheng Mo.”
“Wulin Alliance?” Yuqin was taken aback, and said suddenly, “Before, you said that you wanted to meet our Sect Leader?”
Cheng Mo said lightly: “en. It’s just that I don’t want to force Sister Yuqin.”
Yuqin lowered her head, thought about it for a long time, slowly raised her head and said to Cheng Mo: “If you really want to see the leader, I can take you to the Shuiyue Sect.”
Cheng Mo was taken aback and said, “Sister Yuqin does not need to force herself…”
Yuqin shook his head and interrupted him, “Not forcing, sister really wishes to help you. To tell you the truth, even though I know that the Sect Leader is not bad in nature, but his character has always been capricious. If I rashly took you there, I don’t know if I will be punished. But in my opinion, there’s no harm in trying.”
Cheng Mo refused and said: “If it’s like this, then forget it. If this really ends up harming you, how will Cheng Mo live it down?”
Sorry I’ve been gone so long. Been very busy and I will probably get even busier. While I greatly enjoy this book and I love translating, I probably won’t have the time. There’s a good chance I’ll drop it, but I hope someone will be able to pick it up after me.
If any translators are interested, let me know!
