Book 4

"I have never asked for anything from you before, grandpa.  But now I want to ask just one favor," Sun XiaoHong said.
"What is it?" Mr. Sun said as he took another puff from his pipe and engulfed himself in a cloud of smoke.
"I want you to make sure that Li XunHuan stays alive at all costs..." Sun XiaoHong said.

Twelve years ago was about the same time that he had decided to leave his house forever.  This was about the same time as when Hunchback Sun had decided to take up residence across the street.  No matter how much he thought about it, Li XunHuan just couldn't figure out the connection.

From where he stood, he couldn't see anyone inside.
It was still light out so of course he couldn't make out any candle or lantern light either.
"When night arrives, would the lonely light in that small building still be lit?"

His arms and legs were convulsing in pain, but the expression on his face remained calm and at ease, a gleeful smile formed from the corner of his lips.
His death was very peaceful.
One of the most difficult things to do in life is to die a peaceful death!

The starlight was like a dream.
Li XunHuan was falling into inebriation.
On such a beautiful night, with such a beautiful companion, how could he not fall into a drunken stupor?
Since he was drunk, how could he not fall asleep?

Those two pairs of eyes were fixed on Li XunHuan and ShangGuan JinHong. 
One pair of eyes was as soft and gentle as water, bright and radiant like stars.  Even if you searched the entire world, it'd be hard to find another pair of eyes as beautiful as this.
The other pair of eyes was deathly pale, they seemed to meld into the lifeless night.  Even if you searched all of hell, it'd be hard to find another pair of eyes as frightening as this.

"The only thing that we have to fear in life is death.  But if you are unafraid of death, then why should you even care whether you're dry or not when you die?" ShangGuan JinHong said.
He looked at Li XunHuan and said, "That's why I think you have ulterior motives for doing this."
"And what could those be?" Li XunHuan said.

She used to despise Li XunHuan, she used to hate him.
Such a wretched and sorrowful ending, was it all because of Li XunHuan?
But only now did she realize that the one who was wrong was not Li XunHuan, but herself.
"Why did I listen to him back then?  Why didn't I just tell him straight to his face that I loved him, and that I wouldn't marry anyone but him."

The instant that she saw Ah Fei, she felt an incredible warmth flood through her entire body.
She didn't even know herself that she was capable of feeling this way.
Because her blood had always been cold.

Long Xiao3Yun suddenly took out an oilpaper wrapped package from under the covers and said loudly, "Take it."
Lin ShiYin knitted her brow and replied, "What is this?"
"You really don't know what this is?  Didn't you decide to come back just to get this?" Long Xiao3Yun said.

Long Xiao4Yun let out a roar and brandished his fists.
His martial arts were not weak, his fists were powerful and quick.  A single punch carried the ferocity of a tiger.
But he only had a pair of fists.
The enemy had twenty two pairs of weapons - including hooks, twin swords, twin whips and twin brushes.

Sun XiaoHong finally threw herself into the battle. Her body fluttered about like a graceful butterfly.
Among the female experts in the realm, there were many who were skilled in lightness and hidden projectiles, disciplines which required little skill and strength. It was very rare to see a female expert who had deep internal energy and powerful palm strikes.
Sun XiaoHong was not an exception.

He was defeated!
These were three simple words.
Victory and defeat was something that was decided in an instant.
But to imagine just how intense, just how grand that one instant must have been!

No matter what Long Xiao4Yun had done in the past, he had washed it all clean with his own blood now.
As a son, one would obviously want the world to know that.
