Han Bao Ju and Qiu Chu Ji asked sternly in unison, "Who is it?"
Guo Jing opened his mouth to answer, but faltered. During the fight with Mei Chao Feng and the others in the Palace the previous night, Huang Rong had the attention of Han Xiao Ying. She had secretly marveled at this girl with her graceful movements and a face as delicate as those you only see in paintings. Thinking back, Huang Rong did seem very affectionate towards Guo Jing and had been looking out especially for him. Han Xiao Ying asked, "It's the young girl who dressed in white, isn't it?" Guo Jing went red as he nodded.
Qiu Chu Ji said impatiently, "What young or old girl in white or black?"
Han Xiao Ying muttered to herself, "I heard Mei Chao Feng call her Little Martial-Sister and addressed her father as Teacher…"
Qiu Chu Ji and Ke Zhen'E stood up at once and said together, flabbergasted: "She's Huang Yao Shi's daughter?"
Holding Guo Jing's hand, Han Xiao Ying asked, "Jing'er, is her surname Huang?"
Guo Jing answered, "Yes."
To this, Han Xiao Ying was speechless.
Ke Zhen'E muttered, "You want to marry Mei Chao Feng's Younger Martial-Sister?"
Zhu Cong asked, "Her father has betrothed her to you?"
Guo Jing replied, "I've never met her father, nor do I know who her father is."
Zhu Cong asked again, "So you have an illicit engagement?"
Not knowing what an 'illicit engagement' meant, Guo Jing widened his eyes and did not reply. Zhu Cong continued, "You've told her that you will definitely marry her, and she's also said that she'll definitely marry you, is that right?"
Guo Jing replied, "Never said that." After a brief pause, he continued, "We don't have to say it. I can't do without her, and she can't do without me. We know this in our hearts."
Having never experienced the feeling of love, Han Bao Ju was displeased upon hearing this and said impatiently, "What nonsense is this?"
However, Han Xiao Ying's mind flitted to Zhang Ah Sheng: 'Among us 7 Freaks, Fifth Brother's character was the most similar to Jing'er. But he only loved me in secret – he always thought he wasn't good enough for me and so he never expressed his feelings. Was it like Jing'er and that girl, what with 'we both know it in our hearts; I can't do without her, she can't do without me'? If I had let him known just a few months before he died that I actually couldn't do without him, he would have at least a few months of true happiness in his lifetime.'
Zhu Cong said calmly, "Her father is a ruthless monster who kills without blinking, did you know that? If he found out that you got close with her daughter in secret, how could even you hope to live? Mei Chao Feng hasn't even learned one-tenth of his kungfu and she is already so formidable. If the Master of Peach Blossom Isle wants to kill you, who will be able to save you?"
Guo Jing said softly, "Rong'er is so nice, I doubt… I doubt her father will be a bad person."
"Bullshit!" Han Bao Ju berated. "Huang Yao Shi is utterly evil, how could he not be a bad person? Quickly vow that you'll never see that little demoness again."
Because the Twin Killers of the Dark Winds had killed the Laughing Buddha Zhang Ah Sheng, the 6 Freaks bore a grudge as deep as the oceans towards them and hated their Teacher to the core. They all thought that the kungfu the Twin Killers used to kill Zhang Ah Sheng was taught by Huang Yao Shi; if there was no Huang Yao Shi in this world, Zhang Ah Sheng wouldn't have died.
Guo Jing was in an extremely difficult position. On one hand was his deep gratitude towards his Teachers, and on the other hand was a love both sincere and true. If he could never see Rong'er ever again, how could he live on? His Teachers' eyes were fixed sternly on himself and with an aching heart, dropped down to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. Han Bao Ju stepped forward and said harshly, "Say it! Say that you'll never see that little demoness again."
Suddenly, a clear female voice shouted from outside the window: "Why are you forcing him like this? How shameless!" Everyone was startled. That girl called: "Jing-gege, hurry outside."
Surprised and delighted to hear it was Huang Rong, Guo Jing dashed outside and saw her standing at the courtyard with his Blood-sweat Horse. The Little Red Horse saw Guo Jing and let out a long neigh, raising its front hoofs.
Han Bao Ju, Quan Jin Fa, Zhu Cong and Qiu Chu Ji followed him out of the room. Guo Jing said to Han Bao Ju, "Third Teacher, that's her, she's Rong'er. Rong'er isn't a demoness!"
"You ugly and short fatty, why did you call me a little demoness?" Huang Rong scolded. She then pointed to Zhu Cong and said, "And you, sly and sloppy scholar! Why did you say my father's a monster who kills without blinking?"
Not taking a little girl to heart, Zhu Cong merely smiled. Looking at Huang Rong, he thought that her beauty was indeed peerless and none he had seen in his life could match hers – no wonder Jing'er was so crazy about her. Han Bao Ju, however, was absolutely furious, so much so that the moustache at the edge of his lips had curled. He yelled, "Get out, get out!"
Huang Rong started clapping and sang: "Shorty-gourd, tumbling ball, with one kick, rolls three times; with two kicks…"
Guo Jing exclaimed, "Rong'er, stop being naughty! These are my Teachers."
Huang Rong stuck out her tongue and made a face. Moving forward, Han Bao Ju struck out his arm to hit her. Huang Rong sang again: "Shorty-gourd, tumbling ball…" All of a sudden, she reached out and grabbed the cloth on Guo Jing's waist. With a hard tug, both of them had mounted the horse together. With a lift of the reins, the Little Red Horse bolted forward and away like an arrow leaving the bow. No matter how fast Han Bao Ju was, how could possibly he catch up with the lightning pace of a Blood-sweat Horse? By the time Guo Jing had slightly settled himself, he turned his head only to see that the faces of Han Bao Ju and the others were already blurred; in the next instant they were reduced to little black dots. His own face was wrapped in rushing wind and his ears, enveloped in the sound of it. The Little Red Horse continued to surge forward with amazing pace.
Huang Rong held the reins in her right hand and held Guo Jing's hand with her left. Though they had parted for less than half a day, they had just only gone through an agonizing experience. Though one was inside the room and the other, outside the window, both had similar feelings of worry and anxiety, and now it felt like they had re-united after calamity. Guo Jing's heart was clouded with indecision – escaping from his Teachers like this was a huge wrong, yet when he thought that he would have to give up this girl in his arms that was dearer than his own life and never see her again, he would rather sever his head and bleed to death.
Only after the Little Red Horse had galloped more than 10 li past Yan Capital did Huang Rong withdraw the reins and halt, leaping off the horse. Guo Jing followed and dismounted. The Little Red Horse kept rubbing its head against Guo Jing's waist, displaying great affection. Guo Jing and Huang Rong held hands and gazed at each other in silence, each having a multitude of words to say but not knowing where to begin. But even in the absence of words, their hearts were linked and they had long been aware of each other's thoughts. After a long while, Huang Rong lightly released her hand and retrieved a towel from the leather sack on the horse's side. She wet the towel by the small stream and gave it to Guo Jing to wipe his face. Guo Jing was currently in a dazed state and did not receive the towel, but said suddenly, "Rong'er, we have to do it!"
