As mentioned earlier, Sin Liong and Swat Hong met each other again on the top slope of Mount Awan Merah, where Tee-tok Siangkoan Houw lived. After hearing about the Kwat Lin-controlled Butg-pai that they were indeed looking for, Sin Liong and Swat Hong left the Red Cloud slopes, descended the mountain and quickly headed towards the Bu-tong-san mountains.
Even though these two young people who have high intelligence have used the science of running fast and only rest when they feel hungry and too tired, but because the distance is very far, about a month later they arrived on the slopes of the Bu-tong-san Mountains . At the foot of the mountain earlier they had received instructions from a farmer where Bu-tong-pai was located, which was on top of one of the peaks of the Bu-tong-san mountains.
"Be careful, sumoi, we have arrived at the Bu-tong-pai area," Sin Liong said as they stopped briefly under a tree to unwind while wiping sweat from their foreheads and necks.
"Hmm, we only deal with The Kwat Lin, a personal matter that has absolutely nothing to do with Bu-tong-pai. We have to declare this to all Bu-tong-pai people, if they don't want to understand and want to defend The Kwat Lin , we hit them too!"
Sin Liong's heart felt very worried. Indeed, the result is very opposite after meeting this sumoi. Excited and worried too. All difficult. He was of course very happy to be able to meet his sumoi safe and sound. However, despite this excitement, he was also now constantly worried about Swat Hong's character.
If only he had come to Bu-tong-pai himself, he would have persuaded The Kwat Lin to return the Ice Island heirlooms and he would not have demanded this. However, after leaving with Swat Hong, he knew that of course this girl would cause a commotion. Of course Swat Hong will be hostile to The Kwat Lin who he considers to be the cause of his parents' misery. This put him in a very unpleasant place. Helping Swat Hong antagonize The Kwat Lin goes against his heart because he doesn't want to antagonize anyone. Doesn't help, of course Swat Hong is in danger and of course will be angry and hate him!
They were nearing the top where the high walls of Bu-tong-pai could be seen.
"Sumoi, you leave it to me to talk to the Bu-tong-pai people. I think they'll be happy to accept our excuses if they hear what their new leader has done."
Swat Hong nodded. "Fine, it's up to you, Suheng. However, when the time comes, I hope you won't prevent me from killing that she-devil!"
Sin Liong didn't answer, just took a deep breath. "Let's get closer to the gate. I wonder why it's so quiet? Weren't you told that Bu-tong-pai is a big club and has many students?"
But when they arrived at the closed gate, suddenly the wide gate opened from within, wide open. There were fifteen old men among them

several tosu people, stepped out in a calm yet dignified manner and looked intently and curiously at Sin Liong and Swat Hong!
After the Bu-tong-pai leaders came out and faced them, Sin Liong quickly stood up respectfully while saying, "Are we dealing with the Lo-cianpwe from Bu-tong-pai?"
With suspicious eyes, dozens of people looked at Sin Liong. The old Tosu who were at the forefront then clapped their hands and shouted, "You guys get out and don't do anything before being ordered!"
In answer to these words, jumped eighteen brave men who had been hiding behind the trees and groves outside the gate. They then made an encircling motion and they were ready with their hands on their sword hilts.
Seeing this angered Swat Hong's heart. "Not thieves, why are you surrounded? Do you want to challenge to a fight? I want to meet the leader of Bu-tong-pai. Immediately call him out!"
Seeing this fierce attitude, Grandfather Tosu, who seemed to be leading them, said, "Siancai... would you like to meet with the Bu-tong-pai chairman? Pinto (I am) the chairman. Don't know who Miss is and what is the need for meeting with Pinto? "
Swat Hong was wide-eyed. He looked shocked and surprised. "Eh...? Is this true? We... we didn't come looking for Totiang"
The tosu and everyone else looked at each other. One of them, a tosu who was tall and black-faced, not as old as the first grandfather, then asked, "Then who is Miss looking for?"
"We are looking for The Kwat Lin"
Just when Swat Hong finished saying that, the black-faced old man shouted loudly and lunged forward. His left hand gripped the crown of Swat Hong's head while his right held his neck.
Swat Hong was shocked and angry. Grandfather's attack was really very vicious, cruel and very dangerous. What's more when he felt how from the two long and big hands grabbed a blow indicating that the old man had strong strength. "Heyitttt...!!" he squeaked long, his hands moved quickly to greet.
"Dukkkk... plakkkk !!"
He was able to deflect the hand that was gripping at the top of his head firmly, while the hand that was poking his neck was dodged by bowing his head slightly, then his fingers preceded him so that he managed to welcome the attack with a snap to the wrist. In the next second, as the black-faced tosu grinned in pain as the block made his arm tremble and the impact paralyzed his other arm, Swat Hong's leg was already kicking.
"Desss!!" the black-faced tosu's body slumped and fell down hard on the ground!
Everyone was shocked, also the old tosu furrowed his brows. That black-faced tosu was her silk, her intelligence level was already high, how could that young lady be knocked down in a single move? There's no mistake, of course these two people are fellow countrymen of The Kwat Lin who once usurped the position of chairman of Bu-tong-pai, thought the old tosu who was none other than Kui Tek Tojin. Only the compatriots of the female devil The Kwat Lin have intelligence like that devil.
Seeing the black-faced tosu collapse, the tosu and other Bu-tong-pai figures immediately attacked, preceded by eighteen students of Kui Tek Tojin who were none other than the Butong Cap-pwe Eng-hiong. Thinking that Swat Hong must have some connection with The Kwat Lin, they immediately charged with swords in hand.

"Hmm, you guys are really asking for a fight? Good, come on everyone! C'mon, don't leave anyone behind. Tell all the Bu-tong-pai people to come and gang up on me if you defend The Kwat Lin!" Swat Hong drew his sword and his eyes flashed a light as if they were going to spread death.
Suddenly Sin Liong snapped. "Hold your weapons...!!"
His body flashed and jumped among the Bu-tong-pai people and immediately there were exclamations of surprise when suddenly wherever the young man's shadow flashed, the weapon he was holding in his hand came loose and fell to the ground without them knowing why!
Sin Liong was already facing Kui Tek Tojin, stood up and said, "Hope Totiang be patient and forgive Sumoi. You know, the two of us who came to Bu-tong-pai didn't want to have anything to do with Bu-ting-pai because we never had anything to do with with Bu-tong-pai. We came to look for The Kwat Lin, for a personal matter that has absolutely nothing to do with Bu-tong-pai. Hope Cuwi Totiang and all the brave people of Bu-tong-pai can understand this and don't blindly defending The Kwat Lin without first knowing its business."
"What...? Defending The Kwat Lin? Isn't Ji-wi the devil woman's friends?"
"Speaking presumptuously and recklessly!" Swat Hong snapped. "I have come to kill The Kwat Lin and if you are going to defend him, it is clear that you are not decent humans and let me kill you all!"
"Shit...! Shit...!" Kui Tek Tojin exclaimed and he smiled showing a toothless mouth. "Forgive pinto and all of Bu-tong-pai's students! It was because we didn't know that this misunderstanding occurred. All of this is because of a demonic woman who has tarnished Bu-tong-pai's good name and made us always suspect anyone. Please feel free to Come in, Sicu and Miss. Let's talk inside!"
Sin Liong and Swat Hong were then ushered into the building which was the center of Bu-tong-pai and asked to sit in the living room. After receiving a drink, Kui Tek Tojin asked, "Can Pinto know who Ji-wi is and why he planted the seeds of enmity with The Kwat Lin? Pinto saw that Ji-wi's intelligence was extraordinary, reminding Pinto of The Kwat Lin's intelligence so that it adds our suspicions again."
"I don't think we need to introduce ourselves," replied Sin Liong who really wanted to avoid himself as much as possible with the kang-ouw business so it would be better if he didn't introduce himself. "However, we both have personal business with The Kwat Lin, and heard that he had become the leader of Bu-tongpai, then the two of us will follow here."
Kui Tek Tojin stroked his beard and nodded. He could secretly suspect that these two young people who possessed extraordinary intelligence must also have something to do with Ice Island! However, he did not dare to ask too many questions. Kui Tek Tojin then told how The Kwat Lin felt that the former student of Bu-tong-pai had violently usurped the chairman's position and secretly organized a rebellion against the Emperor. When his attempt to smuggle his student into the palace failed, he became a government target.
"No matter how shrewd, the she-devil didn't dare face the government troops, so she then ran away with her followers, leaving Bu-tong-pai behind. We took back Bu-tong-pai and not long ago, we almost became the target of an attack. The good thing is that we have been able to tell our situation and now, like it or not, to prove that Bu-tong-pai is not allied with the rebels, we are forced to help the government. Even today, Butong Cappwe Eng-hiong, students pinto disciple, will be forced to go north to carry out the task of investigating the rebellion of An Lu Shan."
Hearing this, Sin Liong and Swat Hong felt very disappointed. They followed them all the way to Bu-tong-san, only to hear that The Kwat Lin was no longer there and was now a wanted man by the government.
"Aihhh... where should we look for him?" Swat Hong said annoyed as he turned to Sin Liong.

"Miss, to make up for our mistake earlier, let us inform you that if we are not mistaken, The Kwat Lin fled to Kiam-mo Cai-li's residence. If Ji-wi looks for him there, surely he will at least hear further about that woman."
"Kiam-mo Cai-li? Who is he? And where does he live?" Swat Hong urged and his face lit up with hope rising in his heart again.
“She is a heretical progenitor, a highly educated woman who has allied herself with The Kwat Lin to help the rebels. Kiam-mo Cai-li lives in Swamp Carcass, at the foot of the Lu-liang-san mountains, not too far from here."
"Suheng, what are you waiting for? Let's quickly go to Lu-liang-san!" Swat Hong excitedly got to his feet.
Sin Liong was also forced to stand up, but the Bu-tong-pai Chief said, "Please be careful Ji-wi. The Carrion Swamp is a very dangerous area. Apart from the two women being very powerful, Kiam-mo Cai-li also has many men. Even The Kwat Lin's henchman who was here before has gone with him."
"Thank you for the warning Lo-cianpwe," said Sin Liong while saluting and because he also felt very bad for bothering the old people in Bu-tong-pai, he quickly took his sumoi away from there. After saying goodbye, in one flash the two young people disappeared.
Kui Tek Tojin sighed and stroked his beard, "Siancai..... two very extraordinary young people. Pinto was sure that they must be people from Ice Island too. Their movements were strange like Kwat Lin's, but if Ice Island has made Kwat Lin become like a demon, those two young people are like gods!"
------ "Suheng, isn't that the place on the slope of the peak over there?"
"If I'm not mistaken it's there, Sumoi. But this time we're doing a very dangerous job, so I hope Sumoi likes to be calm and patient, not in a hurry."
Swat Hong nodded, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his neck and forehead. His face was ruddy, his cheeks were like ripe tomatoes, his eyes were shining with enthusiasm, his hair was a little disheveled and the strands on his forehead were wet with sweat.
Sin Liong looked at his sumoi and secretly felt pity for his sumoi. A young maiden like her sumoi had to experience this migratory and miserable life! Whereas a young maiden like her sumoi should be at home with her family, living safely and happily, playing in a beautiful flower garden, joking, laughing, singing, reciting poems, or fingers. the small tapered ones move the embroidery tools. Unlike now, every time facing danger, always playing with sword and death! He took a deep breath.
The two of them sat under a big tall tree, taking shelter in the tree's shadow. It was a very hot day and they had traveled a long way since this morning that day.
"Suheng..." something in the maiden's voice made Sin Liong quickly look up and he saw that beautiful face looking down. Very weird! What's with this girl acting like a moron?
"What's wrong, Sumoi?" Swat Hong pulled out a blade of grass, toyed with it with his fingers, then unconsciously squeezed the grass until it crumbled in his hand. "Suheng, after finishing our task fulfilling Father's last message, then what?"
Sin Liong's heart touched. Just now he had imagined the fate of the virgin and now it seemed that Swat Hong was also imagining her future. "If we have succeeded in fulfilling Suhu's message, we will

return the relics to Ice Island."
"Hmm, then?' Swat Hong still kept his head down and now he had even pulled out another blade of grass and put it in his small mouth and nibbled on it.
"Then? I'll help you find your mother until we find her, Sumoi. We'll explore all the islands around Ice Island, and if that doesn't work, we'll land again on the mainland and search until we find her. Until we meet your mother, I won't stop looking."
Long time no words came out of the mouth that bit the grass. Finally Swat Hong asked, "Have you met mother?"
"When you find it?" Sin Liong repeated the question in surprise, because it felt strange to be asked. "Of course you live with your mother"
"And you?"
“Me?
task. I'm free like a bird in the air, fly wherever the wind takes me."
The silence returned, even now Sin Liong was affected by the question and pondered as if he had felt how good it was to be free to fly in the air without the slightest burden of work.
"Seheng "
"Hmmm. ?"
"If you meet mother you will leave us?"
"I told you so, aren't you safe when you're beside your mother?"
"What if... if we fail to find mother? What if we don't meet? What if Mother said mother already die?"
Sin Lion was shocked. This is completely unimaginable. Faced with this possible reality he was shocked and confused, momentarily unable to answer. He thought, then answered without the slightest hesitation, "Then of course I won't leave you, Sumoi."
"Where do we live?"
"Anywhere you like." "We gather?"
"Yes."
"Until when?"
Again Sin Liong was dazed and unable to answer.
Swat Hong continued, "In that case, I'll be a hassle for you, Suheng. I'll take away the freedom you wanted earlier."
"Ah, no! Not at all! In the freedom of solitude in that world there is pleasure, but in doing things for people, especially for you, there is also great pleasure."
"You become like a bird bound your feet with mine, Suheng."
"No, it's not like that! We're like two free birds flying together!"

"Forever, Suheng?"
