The weather was good this day, but Huang Rong only saw the edge of the vast seas meet the sky, and apart from a few clouds, there was nothing else. She went to their landing ground and was suddenly shocked, and asked, "Where's the boat?" Ouyang Ke said, "Huh, where is it? It must have been swept away by the currents! Ah, damn it!"
Huang Rong saw his expression and deduced that it was he who pushed the boat out to sea so that she could not get away from here and felt that it was absolutely despicable. Since Guo Jing's apparent death, she had no intention of living on. Besides, the small boat would not be able to make it across the fierce waves and the situation was bleak, but in that case she would not be able to get her master to safety.
She stared at Ouyang Ke without any change in her expression, but in her heart she was actually thinking of how she could kill him and save her master at the same time. Huang Rong jumped onto a large rock and looked into the distance. Ouyang Ke thought, "If I don't use this chance to get close to her now, then when?" He also leapt up the rock and waited her for her to sit down. After some time she was not angry and did not shift her position, so he moved closer and said, "Little sister, the 2 of us can live here till old and still live like the deities. I must have done something wonderful in my past life to deserve this!"
Huang Rong laughed and said, "This island has 3 of us including Master, wouldn't we be lonely?" Ouyang Ke felt that her tone was harmless and was ecstatic, saying, "With me by your side, why would it be lonely? Moreover, when we have children in future, it would be even less so." Huang Rong laughed, "Who will have children? I wouldn't." Ouyang Ke laughed, "I'll help you." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to hug her. He then felt warmth in his palm and realised that Huang Rong had already held his hand. Ouyang Ke's heart beat madly.
Huang Rong slowly moved her hand up his arm, then said in a low voice, "Sister Mu Nianci's chastity was destroyed by you, is it not?" Ouyang Ke laughed aloud, saying, "That girl did not want to submit to me. What kind of man am I, Gentleman Ouyang, to force her?" Huang Rong said, "So, it must be others who slandered her. Her lover had a big quarrel with her because of this." Ouyang Ke said, "Her reputation suffered because of this, what a pity!"
Huang Rong suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted, "Ah, what is that!" Ouyang Ke looked in that direction and was about to ask when he suddenly felt his wrist go stiff under her firm grip and his body went numb and he could not move. Huang Rong drew her spike and stabbed it towards his abdomen. Their distance was extremely small and Ouyang Ke was in a state of confusion, coupled with the fact that his arm was immobilized, how could he block it?
Still, all his training under expert guidiance at White Camel Mountain was not wasted; he suddenly twisted his body and used his chest to smash towards Huang Rong's back in a split second. Huang Rong evaded him and jumped off the rock, causing the spike to gash his leg, resulting in a deep wound that was almost 1 foot long.
Ouyang Ke jumped off too and saw her spike. He stood there and grinned but he actually felt terrible pain. He bent down and saw his gown stained blood red and realised that he just escaped with his life, but still he was severely injured. Huang Rong said, "We were talking fine, why did you try to bump into me for no reason? I won't bother about you now." She then turned and left. Ouyang Ke was filled with love and hatred, shock and joy, and just stood rooted there silently.
As Huang Rong went back to the cave, she blamed her poor skills for allowing her to waste such a good opportunity and let him escape. When she went inside, she saw Hong Qigong asleep and saw a pool of black blood on the ground, she started and asked, "Master, how are you? Are you better?" Hong Qigong said, "I want wine." Huang Rong felt distressed; she did not know how to find wine on this deserted island. Yet she agreed and said, "I'll try to get it. Master, your injury isn't serious, right?" Her tears dropped as she said that.
Despite having gone through so much, she had never cried. Now that her tears fell, she could not control herself and buried herself in Hong Qigong's bosom and cried her heart out. Hong Qigong stroked her hair and patted her back, trying to console her. The old beggar roamed Jianghu for so many decades, but had never had to deal with a crying girl before, so he did not know what to do. He could only say, "Good girl, don't cry, Master's here for you. Please don't cry. I don't want the wine already."
Huang Rong stopped after a while and lifted her head. When she saw that Hong Qigong's clothes were wet with her tears, she smiled and said, "I didn't manage to kill that evil jerk, what a pity!" She then told the whole story to him. Hong Qigong was silent for a moment before saying, "Master is useless now. That jerk is better than you in martial arts. For now you can only pit your wits against him." Huang Rong said, "Master, after resting a few days, you'd recover and then take his useless life with one palm, won't that settle it?"
Hong Qigong regretfully said, "I've been poisoned by the poisonous snake as well as Western Poison's deadly palm. I've already used all my martial abilities to purge the poison but there is some left within me. Even if I survive, my martial arts would be affected. Your master is just another old man without any powerful skills." Huang Rong quickly said, "No, no, Master, you won't, you won't!" Hong Qigong said, "I the old beggar have never taken this seriously, but now it has come to this, I can't deny it."
He paused, then said gravely, "Child, Master hasn't got a choice, but I have to request a huge favour from you – it's extremely difficult to accomplish – will you accept?" Huang Rong hastily said, "Yes, yes! Master, tell me." He sighed, then said, "Our time together as master and disciple is not long, I didn't get to teach you much martial arts. Now that you're also facing a strong opponent, I have no choice but to entrust a great burden to you, or I would not be at ease."
Huang Rong saw that usually he was carefree and easygoing but this time he was so hesitant, so she knew it must be some extremely important responsibility, so she said, "Master, please tell me. Your injuries are caused by you trying to help your disciple escape from Peach Blossom Island. Even if I died a horrible death, I would hardly be able to repay you. I'm just afraid I'm too young to carry out your instructions." Hong Qigong happily said, "So you agree to it?" Huang Rong said, "Yes. Please say it."
Hong Qigong stood up unsteadily and cupped his hands, bowing to the north and said, "Ancestors, the Beggars' Clan you founded has come to my hands. I am unfortunately incapable of bringing virtue to our clan. Today the matter is urgent and I have to pass on my responsibility. May Ancestors in Heaven bless us and help this child avoid trouble and also to bring our clan to greater heights." When he finished, he bowed to the north. Huang Rong was shocked and curious when he said that.
