The old man smiled, showing a toothless mouth. "Why don't you know that Han Ti Ong is my grandson?"
"Ooooh...!" Swat Hong stared briefly, then quickly dropped to his knees. May he face his Kongcouw (great grandfather) who he once heard had left Ice Island as a recluse! Now he understood that his great-grandfather had helped him.
"Ha-ha-ha, I just happened to hear that young man calling out to you so I was attracted to the She Han he shouted. Seeing that you were in danger, I immediately brought you out of the cave to this place."
"I thank you for Kongcouw's help... however, where is Suheng?" "Hmm, that shrewd young man, is he your Suheng?"
"That's right, Kongcouw, he is father's disciple."
"Ahh, things are too dangerous. You rest here, recover your strength, I'll go back there and see how things are."
Swat Hong nodded and the old man flashed away from there. Swat Hong was amazed. His great-grandfather was very old, certainly more than a hundred years old, but his movements were still light and fast. His heart was relieved to see that his grandfather had gone to help Sin Liong, so he then sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing to recover his strength.
He vaguely remembered the incident in the cave and his face felt very hot. He remembered how he had gone mad in that cave, when his suheng treated him and expelled the poison from his body. If he imagined that event... how shamelessly he would hug his suheng, kiss him... ah, he would die of embarrassment!
But all that just remembered like in a dream, gloomy shadows and he himself still can't believe whether the incident really happened, or was it just a dream? If it really happened how shameful! And it seems impossible that he dared to do that, even though in the corner of his heart there is indeed a great longing for his suheng. But who knows, in that strange cave. Aihh, if that really happened, how could he meet his suheng face to face?
Because his mind and heart never stopped working and daydreaming, time passed so quickly that Swat Hong didn't realize that his great-grandfather had been gone for half a day! It wasn't until he regained consciousness and remembered this grandfather after the grandfather came back there, suddenly he was sitting nearby, wiping the sweat from his wrinkled forehead.
"Ahhh...!" The grandfather took a deep breath as he looked at Swat Hong who had opened his eyes and looked at the grandfather questioningly.
"How are you, Kongcouw? Where's Suheng?"
Again the old man took a deep breath and shook his head. "They are really evil, let your Suheng be cunning and cannot fight against their cunning and cheating. Your Suheng was caught and... killed "
A pair of eyes widened, his face very pale. Vaguely from that pair of lips came out a voice like muttering, "Killed? Suheng... killed?"
"Yes, thrown into the well of snakes"
"Aaahh!" Swat Hong went limp and would have collapsed had he not been grabbed by that old man. That virgin
passed out with a very pale face.

The grandpa laid him down and furrowed his brows, feeling really sorry that he could relate to the feelings of this girl, his great granddaughter who was apparently in love with her Suheng. After waking up from his stupor, Swat Hong wept bitterly.
The old man let him cry for a while, then said in a soft and understanding voice, "Han Swat Hong, I don't blame you for grieving and crying, because your Suheng's death is very sad. However, we must have the courage to open our eyes and see and face the reality is as it is. Your Suheng died, this is a reality that cannot be changed by anyone or anything. This has happened, it will not change even though we will grieve to the point of crying tears of blood once. Therefore, look at this fact and be calm and steadfast."
Swat Hong shrank his eyes. "He... he was the only person... after I lost Mom and Dad...." Swat Hong found it hard to hold back the flood of tears. But gradually, listening to his great-grandfather's advice, he was also able to suppress his grief and stop crying. "Kongcouw, what happened to Suheng? Please tell me clearly."
The old man took a deep breath. "I was late. When I got there, the place was already empty. The Kwat Lin and his friends had already escaped from the Carrion Swamp. I caught a dwarf who was still living there and it was from this person that I heard how your Suheng got ganged up on and finally caught and thrown into the pit of snakes."
"When he was thrown not dead, could he not be helped?" Swat Hong asked hopefully.
The grandfather, who during his overseas trip after leaving Ice Island, called himself Han Lojin (Grandpa Han), shook his head. "The tunnel cave was knocked down by Kwat Lin, the snake well has been covered in large stones. It's impossible for your Suheng to be helped because the well is full of venomous snakes and your Suheng fainted when he was thrown there."
A pair of eyes that were red from crying emitted a fiery light and both hands clenched, "I have to kill them! I have to avenge Suheng's death! If not, my life has no meaning anymore. Kongcouw, right now I will look for them!" He had risen to his feet and was about to leave.
But the old man held his arm and said in a dignified voice, "Hold on!"
Swat Hong looked at the grandfather with furrowed brows. "Why are you blocking my intention to take revenge?"
"Doing something in haste without prior thought is stupid and reckless. For not measuring one's own strength, your Suheng has paid with his life. Do you want an example of such stupid behavior too? I heard the statement from that dwarf that they and their men went north, to the North Lake to join forces with the An Lu Shan rebels. If you follow north, how can you face them alone with an army of hundreds of thousands of people? wasted there?"
"I'm not afraid, Kongcouw!"
The grandfather smiled. "Of course you're not afraid, but it would be stupid if you did. Are you going to avenge your Suheng's death or are you going to kill yourself?"
Swat Hong realized and was shocked too because it was only now opening his eyes that he was only indulging in grief and pain. He lowered his head and said softly, "I have to avenge Suheng's death, and also I have to take back all the Ice Island heirlooms that The Kwat Lin ran away to fulfill my Father's last message."
"Okay, but you can't possibly carry out this tough task alone. Come with me, I already know the situation in North Telaga and let me investigate there later."

Swat Hong must have been overjoyed to have the help of his highly learned grandfather and he did not argue. So set off with these two people to the north. After arriving near the North Lake, Han Lojin began to investigate as a wide-lobed fisherman. Swat Hong he made wait in the old temple in the forest.
As described earlier, Han Lojin then met his grandson-in-law, Liu Bwee, and Ouw Sian Kok, who were attacked by An Lu Shan's men, and rescued the two men. He failed to meet with The Kwat Lin because this woman, along with Kiam-mo Cai-li and also Ouwyang Cin Cu, had obtained an earlier assignment from An Lu Shan and had left for the king's city to secretly smuggle and assist the movement from within. . Because of this, when he investigated North Lake, Han Lojin never saw The Kwat Lin and he finally met and saved his grandson-in-law. Thus, Liu Bwee and Ouw Sian Kok joined the magic grandfather into the forest.
When he arrived at the temple, the old man said to Liu Bwee, "You will meet someone you do not expect, so be prepared for this event."
Of course Liu Bwee was astonished and did not understand.
But at that moment, a voice sounded, "Kongcouw, are you home yet?" and out came Swat Hong!
Suddenly Swat Hong who was running out stopped and seemed to have turned into a statue. Mother and daughter looked at each other, neither of them moved as if enchanted.
"Mum !!"
"Swat Hong... Hong-ji, my son !"
Both of them ran forward, arms outstretched, tears streaming down faces beaming with happiness. The two met, embraced each other and hugged each other while crying! A meeting that they had never expected, a meeting that touched their hearts, brought up all the shadows of the sadness that was buried deep in their hearts.
Ouw Sian Kok coughed with emotion. He thought of his own daughter, but was secretly happy that Liu Bwee was able to meet his daughter. He exchanged glances with Han Lojin and smiled with a nod, then walked away to give the mother and son a chance to see each other and talk.
"Mother..., Father... Ice Island "
Liu Bwee nodded and ruffled his daughter's hair. "I already know "
"...and Sehun "
Liu Bwee looked at his daughter and lifted Swat Hong's chin. "What do you mean? What's wrong with your Suheng?"
Seeing that his mother didn't know yet, Swat Hong sobbed again crying.
"Hong-ji, calm down. Let's have a good talk. What's wrong with your Suheng? What has happened since we parted ways?"
"Suheng... Suheng is dead, Mother "
Liu Bwee was taken aback. He widened his eyes and looked pale at his daughter, but seeing her daughter weeping sorrowfully, he hugged her and comforted, "To live or die is none of our business, Hong-ji. Calm down and tell your mother all your experiences."

Swat Hong then recounted all of his experiences since his mother left the Ice Island, recounting them in full but briefly and listening to his mother attentively.
When his daughter told him about Soan Cu, Liu Bwee looked and reached for Ouw Sian Kok while shouting, "Ouw-twako, come here. My son has met your daughter, Ouw Soan Cu!"
Hearing this call, Ouw Sian Kok jumped up and ran over, saying to Swat Hong, "Aihhh, Han-siocia (Miss Han), have you really met my son?" her voice trembled slightly because of the emotion in her heart to hear about her daughter.
Swat Hong looked at the dashing middle-aged man and nodded. I hope her mother has met and befriended Soan Cu's father, she thought! He had heard about Soan Cu's father who had run away from Hell Island since his wife passed away. So this is the person? He then continued his very interesting narrative, up to the incident when he and his suheng raided Rawa Bangkai where his suheng died and he was helped by his great-grandfather.
It was very quiet after Swat Hong ended the story, only the girl's muffled sobs could still be heard.
"Hmm, the Kwat Lin is really evil!" suddenly Ouw Sian Kok said while clenching his fists. "Han-siocia, I Ouw Sian Kok swear to help you face that demoness!"
Swat Hong looked up. "Thank you, Uncle Ouw"
"However, I must meet my son first. Where did you last see him?"
"We left him at Red Cloud Peak in the Tai-hang-san mountains, where Tee-tok Siangkoan Houw lived."
"Then let me follow there!" said Ouw Sian Kok happily. "After I met her, then we all searched for the she-demon together to face her and destroy her! What is your opinion, Lo-Cianpwe?" he turned to grandpa Han who had been just listening.
Also Swat Hong and Liu Bwee turned and looked at the old man, because after all, they hoped for this old man's help, as well as his decision.
For a long time Han Lojin was silent, contemplating and looking away, then took a deep breath. "Aihh, I never thought it would turn out like this...! Previously, I really wanted to see the two of you forget everything that was past, start a new life safely and peacefully, stay away from the world's violent affairs which only bring grudges and killings between fellow humans. , while educating Swat Hong too. But seeing the symptoms... remembering the destruction of Ice Island... and indeed the heirlooms should be returned to their original place.... Ahhh, I'm an old fart who has been washing his hands for a long time from worldly affairs, is now dragged away too! How sad!”
"Lo-cianpwe, if we still live in a crowded world, how can we avoid interfering in the affairs of the crowded world? The important thing is that we are always on the right side." Ouw Sian Kok denied.
The grandfather shook his head. "You don't understand yet, what does it mean to be on the right side? What does truth mean? Truth that can be spoken with words, isn't the truth! Ahhh, come on, without awareness, how can you understand? You want to find your daughter, it's appropriate and you should have done so long ago. Now I will accompany Liu Bwee and his daughter to the king's city "
"To the king's city?" Ouw Sian Kok exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, because The Kwat Lin has received an assignment from An Lu Shan to organize forces there waiting for the rebellion to arrive. And we don't need to be dragged down by the rebellion, but only want to find The Kwat Lin and ask for the Ice Island's treasures back."

"And kill them to avenge suheng's death!" Swat Hong exclaimed excitedly.
Han Lojin did not answer Swat Hong's call, but turned to Ouw Sian Kok and said, "Ouw Sian Kok, if you want to find your daughter, go and later you may join us in the king's city."
"No, Lo-cianpwe. After I heard that the demoness was in the king's city, I must also come to the king's city to deal with her!"
Liu Bwee looked at this Hell Island character and it just so happened that Ouw Sian Kok also looked at him, so the meeting of the two pairs of eyes was enough for them to know each other's heart. Liu Bwee understood that this dashing man wanted to help him because he was worried about him, on the other hand Ouw Sian Kok also understood that the former queen of Ice Island was very happy to hear that he would help. So without much further talk, these four people headed to the city of the king.
By that time the atmosphere in the entire country had become heated. Chaos ensued everywhere. News spreads that An Lu Shan's rebellion is starting to move from the north. News also spread that on the northern boundary a civil war had started between the rebel troops and the government troops who were not strong enough to stem the arrival of the rebel troops who were flooding south like a flood. This news is enough to arouse the spirit of the heretical group to rise up and seize the opportunity while the country is in chaos, the people are confused and the troops are being withdrawn to be seconded against the rebels so that security is no longer guaranteed.
Indeed, the war had begun. An Lu Shan had blown his cover and blatantly started to move his troops. At that time, the strongest government troops were the troops guarding the northern border which were considered the most important part or area to be strongly guarded, so automatically the strongest troops were under the command of this General.
At that time, the Tang empire was led by Emperor Beng Ong who was over sixty years old, an emperor who unfortunately had a weakness, namely being a slave to lust so that he was like a wax doll in the delicate hands of Yang Kui Hui's concubine. At that time the Tang Kingdom had two royal cities or capitals. The first, where Emperor Beng Ong sat on the throne and became the center of his administration, was the capital city of Tianan. There is also the second capital city is Lok-yang.
Apart from having a large number of troops and selected troops, An Lu Shan was also assisted by many highly knowledgeable Kang-ouw people. This was because many people of kang-ouw felt hatred for the old Emperor who was under the feet of the beautiful concubine, as well as many dignitaries who secretly grudged Yang Kui Hui because this concubine so easily influenced the Emperor to dismiss high officials and replace them with lower positions. All of this to entice his families to occupy important places!
An Lu Shan's rebellion movement started from the north near Peking, then flooded to the south. He easily paralyzed all the resistance put forth by the troops that were still loyal to the Emperor, even the troops that were defeated soon surrendered and became his auxiliary troops. The rebel forces easily crossed the Yellow River and invaded Lok-yang, the second capital of the Tang empire.
This army commander defending Lok-yang, the second capital of the Tang Empire was a loyal commander-in-chief. Tenaciously he led his troops to defend Lok-desperately. However, what greatly weakened the defense were the intrusions from within the city itself by An Lu Shan's henchmen. It was at this time when Lok-yang was being attacked that Han Lojin's group was in Lok-yang, when they were trying to find The Kwat Lin who was said to have helped An Lu Shan by preparing himself in the capital city.
Han Lojin, Ouw Sian Kok, Liu Bwee and Swat Hong were confined to the town of Lok-yang when the second capital was overrun by rebels. They saw for themselves how the Commander of Coa Cun bravely defended the second capital with his troops, so it was not easy for the troops rebels to take control of this king's city. Han Lojin and his entourage, who had intended to look for The Kwat Lin, kept their eyes peeled for walking back and forth with the terrified residents.
When there was arson in the center of the market and clandestine attacks aimed at the commanders of the troops by a group of people whose movements were very shrewd, Han Lojin and his entourage quickly came to this place of chaos. Finally, after running here and there every time they heard that there was a disturbance being carried out by a group of enemy spies, they arrived at the back garden of the palace of the young prince who ruled in Lok-yang. This is where they saw the intruders. Immediately Han-Lojin, Ouw Sian Kok, Liu Bwee and Swat Hong then attacked and looked for The Kwat Lin.
