Ohh, I see, it happens to be the Grandmaster of Wudang, Du Gu Yan. It has been a while Chang Feng, replied Master Du Gu Yan. It took you so long to show yourself I thought you were dead.
Can't possibly die before you, master Du Gu Yan said with a smirk.
Hope you are not upset that I made my comeback in such a way, Master Chang Feng asked, I was just testing your best disciples, I heard they were very good, and sure enough they did not disappoint. You taught them well, he added.
Well, since you've tested them, its time to call it a day. Let's go home, Master Du Gu Yan beckoned to Jackie, Hao Du, and the ladies, You are also welcomed to come around, he added. Sure enough, you should be expecting me soon, Chang Feng replied.
It seems you know him Master, Jackie mustered inquiringly. Yes I do, was Master Du Gu Yan's reply.
He was my fellow disciple at Wudang, years back, until a tragedy happened. Right now, we don't know if he is a friend or a foe. Because he left disgruntled years back he added.
What tragedy happened Father, Hao Du asked. It was an invasion by the southern empire, the king of our nation then mobilised every aid he could get, including martial artist, to fight of the invasion. Wudang was no exemption, and Chang Feng was badly injured and got lost in that battle.
He was the most senior disciple then, and was supposed to marry the Master's daughter then and succeed the master. Master was also severely injured at the battle, with deteriorating health, the Master could not wait until Chang Feng was found, so he passed on his martial arts to me the second most senior disciple.
And because the Master wanted the next Heir to be of his lineage, I had to marry his daughter which was your mother.
Chang Feng happened to come back on the day of the coronation, he was still trying to make peace with it, until he found out about the wedding.
He met the Master so the marriage could be annulled, but the Master refused him. The successor has to be the strongest disciple, and the Master's daughter will only get married to the successor, These were our Master's words.
Your mother's opinion was not even sought after then, but one thing was sure, all disciples loved herm including me, because she was very beautiful, our love grew after years of staying together as husband and wife.
Chang Feng was disgruntled then and challenged me for the Master's position, but lost to me, because the Master had already transferred his martial arts to me.
So I fear, he still might have not yet made peace with what happened back then.
So this time around I'm not sure if he is here as a friend or an enemy, but it will be great to have him as a friend.
I want to get married in a week's time, Jackie chipped in, the moment Master Du Gu Yan finished speaking. Why are you in a rush, he asked. I don't want to risk losing her to anyone, Jackie replied. The group chatted as they made their way back to wudang.
