Fan translation by Meh (Send an email)

When the one-eyed woman heard someone yelling outside, she went out, asking, 揥hat抯 so important that you have to scream so loudly?�

That person said, 揑 just saw Zhao Zheng Yi. He said that the Tie guy is at厰

As he spoke, he pushed the door open inside. When he got in, he suddenly froze. Because the person wanted to find is already here.

The one-eyed woman chuckled. 揧ou didn抰 expect this, did you?�

That person let out a deep breath, then said, 揨hao Zheng Yi said he抯 at Long Xiao4 Yun抯 house. I didn抰 think厰

He immediately grabbed the woman抯 hand, asking, 揌ow did you find him?�

She said, 揑 heard it from the Old Turtle, said he and Li Xun Huan are coming here. So we followed all the way. I originally was afraid of Li Xun Huan, so I didn抰 dare to make a move. Who would抳e thought that he left Li Xun Huan?�

The last person that came in is wearing some ripped-up clothing. He抯 the only one of the eight dressed like a person in the martial world, wearing a spear on his back.

After a while, he stared at the driver and yelled, 揟ie Zhuan Jia, Do you still remember me?�

Tie Zhuan Jia nodded, 揌ow are you厰

That person said, 揑抦 doing great. Since I抳e never done anything immoral, I never had to hide all the time. So my days must be better than yours, right?�

The freckled guy said, 揟hird brother, why are you still talking to him? Just kill him now. Kill him to sacrifice to the big brother.�

Bian Hao responded, 揝eventh brother. What you抮e saying is wrong. Yes we are here to kill someone. But we have to do it formally, so no one can say anything about it.�

The blind man added, 揥e all ready waited for seventeen years, a bit longer won抰 kill us.�

After saying this phrase twice, no one can say anything anymore.

The one-eyed woman asked, 揌ow are we going to do that then?�

Bian Hao said, 揘ot only do we have to get the whole story right, we also have to find an judge. If everyone thinks that this Tie guy should die, then we can kill him.�

The freckled man jumped up, saying, 揥hy all the fuss? I won抰 believe there抯 a single person who抎 feel that he doesn抰 deserve to die!�

The blind man said coldly, 揑f that抯 the case, then what抯 the problem with asking?�

The freckled man bit his teeth, then said, 揥ho do you plan on asking?�

Bian Hao said, 揟he person I抳e invited not only is totally objective, but also has nothing to do with us 慐ight Righteous of Central Plains� or Tie Zhuan Jia.�

揓ust say who it is.�

Bian Hao said, 揟he first person is 慣otally Objective Iron Face� Zhao Zheng Yi. This person is厰

Tie Zhuan Jia suddenly laughed, 揧ou people don抰 have to go through all that trouble. Just kill me and get it over with. I admit that I betrayed Weng Tian Jie, so I do not regret dying today.�

The one-eyed woman said, 揕ooks like he doesn抰 seem to like this Zhao Zheng Yi.�

The blind man said, 揝ince Zhao Zheng Yi told third brother of his location, they must抳e had some problems. So how can he be objective in this matter?�

Bian Hao said, 揑t抯 still ok, because I found two more people in addition to him. One is the 慒ast Brush� elder. This person is considered the best writer today. Plus he has absolutely no relationship with the martial world. The third is a new kid厰

The one-eyed woman said, 揥hat could a new kid know?�

Bian Hao said, 揂lthough this person is new to the martial world, he has a strong personality, can be considered a true man. Although I抳e only known him for two days, I know that he抯 definitely trustworthy!�

The one-eyed woman said with a cold laugh. 揧ou know what kind of person he is in just two days? Looks like your habit of making friends didn抰 change.�

She then added, 揑t was you who way back when brought this Tie guy here, saying that he抯 a good person. If we hadn抰 became friends with him, then how could Weng Tian Jie die so early?�

Bian Huo lowered his head and did not speak anymore.

But the blind man said, 揘o matter what, it抯 good to get some witnesses. We should not kill for no reason.�

He laughed, then said, 揝ince third brother already brought them here, then we should invite them inside.�

Tie Zhuan Jie swore to never open his eyes again. He really didn抰 want to see that Zhao Zheng Yi抯 face again.

He decided to not say a single word either.

He then heard footsteps. Two people came in.

The first one抯 footsteps are very heavy, showing great inner power. 慡outh fist North Legs�. Zhao Zheng Yi is from the north, so most of his kung fu has to do with his legs. The second person breathed pretty hard, showing that even if he knows kung fu, it抯 not that great. He did not heard a third person抯 steps.

Could it be that the third person抯 footsteps have no sound?

The blind person got up, then said, 揇ue to a little misfortune of one of our brothers from long ago, we had to ask three people to come here. Then wait in the snowstorm. I抦 terribly sorry about everything.�

His voice is flat. The speed neither fast nor slow. No one can tell if his words are genuine or just pretending.

Only to hear Zhao Zheng Yi said with a booming voice, 揑n order to bring justice to the martial world, I would even be willing to die. Mr. Yi[the blind guy] do not need to be so thoughtful.

When this person speaks, it抯 bound to be bright and virtuous. But Tie Zhuan Jia just want to vomit when he hears it.

Only to hear another person speak with a calm but crisp voice. 揑抦 only a scholar. But I have heard stories of gallant heroes in the martial world. I抦 grateful that people here think enough of me to be a judge here.�

The blind man said, 揑 hope you will write this whole story as told, so when others bring it up, they would know that what we did was right.�

The old scholar said, 揙f course. When I get back, I抣l certainly write down the whole truth. When Mr. Bian asked me to come, he also had this in mind.�

Tie Zhuan Jia finally understood why Bian Huo invited this person here. He felt respect for Bian Huo for being so meticulous.

Only to hear the one-eyed woman said, 揃ut who is this gentleman here? Can you tell us your name?�

This question is aimed at the third person.

The third person did not speak. But Bian Huo replied, 揗y friend here doesn抰 like others to know his name.�

The blind man said coldly, 揌is name has nothing to do with this anyway. If he doesn抰 want to say, then we don抰 need to ask. But he should know our names.�

Bian Huo immediately said, 揥e are eight brothers, called 慐ight Righteous of Central Plains� by our friends in the martial world. But they抮e really making too big a deal out of it.�

The blind person cut in, 揟hey抮e not exaggerating. Although our kung fu and looks might not be stand out, we do things with righteousness as our number one priority.�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揥ho doesn抰 know the famous 慐ight Righteous of Central Plains�?�

The blind man said, 揑 am second brother Yi Ming Hu. I used to be called, 慙ighting Quick Eyes�. Now厰 He continued with a smile, 揘ow I抦 called 慔ave Eyes but no Eyeb.a.l.l.s�.�

The doctor said, 揑 believe you know my third brother 慒ast Horse Amazing Spear� Bian Hao. I抦 the fourth brother. My name is Jin Feng Bai.�

The scholar said, 揊rom your voice, it seems like you抮e from Nan Yang.�

揅orrect.�

The scholar said, 揟here抯 a Jin family medicine shop* in Nan Yang that抯 very famous. I even bought some medicine there once. Are you厰

Jin Feng Bai laughingly said, 揥hat抯 the big deal? Even the Wan family抯 young master is now selling chicken feet.�

The old scholar asked, 揂nd who would that be?�

The wine-seller said, 揙bviously me.�

[Note: chicken feet is a famous dish to serve with wine. So some wine-sellers sell chicken feet too. I personally can抰 drink, so I never get all these special dishes that are suppose to 慻o with wine�. Chicken feet is just nasty, in my opinion.]

The freckled man then added, 揑抦 the seventh brother, called Gong Sun Yu. Because my freckles are tighter than raindrops [慪u� means rain in Chinese].�

The vegetable seller said, 揑抦 the eighth brother.�

The scholar asked, 揃ut where is your big brother?�

Gong Sun Yu said, 揗y big brother Weng Tian Hao was killed. This is his wife, Mrs. Weng. But you should also remember her name.�

The scholar smiled along, 揂lthough I am an old man, my memory is still fairly good.�

Mrs. Weng said, 揥e want you to remember our names not to become more famous, but so we can spread our sad tale. This way, people in the martial world will know the truth.�

Gong Sun Yu added, 揟his person is called Tie Chuan Jia. He抯 the person who killed our big brother!�

Jin Feng Bai said, 揙ur eight brothers had always been very close. Although we all have our things to do, we always gather every new year at our big brother抯 house.�

Zhang Cheng Xun added, 揟he eight of us originally were happy together, so none of us really bothered to seek other friends. But on that year, third brother brought a person to the annual gathering. He said that person was his friend.�

Gong Sun Yu cut in bitterly, 揟his person is the ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d that would betray friends for money, Tie Chuan Jia.�

Jin Bai Feng said, 揃ig brother was a person who抯 not afraid of death. When he saw that Tie Chuan Jie look like a real man, he treated Tie Chuan Jie as a friend too. Who抎 have thought that he抯 not a man, but rather a dog!�

Zhang Cheng Xun said, 揂fter the new year we all left. But big brother wanted him to stay two extra months. It was at this time that he secretly contacted some of big brother抯 enemies. They attacked at night, killing big brother. Although his wife did not die, she still suffered major injuries.�

Mrs. Weng yelled, 揇o you see this scar on my face? This cut almost split my face in half. If they didn抰 think I was already dead, I could not have escaped.�

Gong Sun Yu said, 揟hat day everyone else in the house died, so no one knows who did it.�

Jin Feng Bai said, 揥hen we found out, we immediately dropped everything and vowed revenge. Fortunately, Heaven has eyes...�

Mrs. Weng said, 揘ow that we have told our story. Please say if this person deserve to die or not.�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揑f you say the truth, then even if we slice him into a thousand pieces, it would still not make up for his crime.�

Gong Sun Yu jumped up and said angrily, 揈very single word is the truth. If you don抰 believe us, ask him yourself.�

Tie Chuan Jia said while biting his teeth, 揑抳e said long before. I am ashamed of my actions. So I am willing to die.�

Gong Sun Yu then yelled, 揝ee! He admits it himself!�

The scholar said, 揌e really is very vicious and devious.�

Mrs. Weng said, 揑f this is the case, then the three of you must all believe he deserve to die, right?�

The scholar said, 揧es!�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揘ot just kill him, but cut him into a thousand pieces, to bring back righteousness to the martial world.�

Only to hear another voice say, 揧ou keep saying 憁artial world�. Do you represent the martial world?�

This voice is crisp and direct. Each world like a sword, cold and fast.

This is the first time he spoke in this room. He must be that 憈hird� person who can walk without sound.

Tie Chuan Jia抯 heart suddenly jumped. He realized that he knows this voice.

He couldn抰 help but open his eyes, finding out that the person by Zhao Zheng Yi抯 side is that lonely youngster, Ah Fei!�

Master Fei? Why are you here?

Tie Chuan Jia almost blurted out those words. But he held his mouth.

But Zhao Zheng Yi抯 mood changed. 揇oes this mean that you feel he shouldn抰 die?�

Ah Fei said coldly, 揑f I feel that he doesn抰 deserve to die, will you kill me too?�

Yi Ming Hu said, 揥e brought you here for justice. If you can give us a good reason to let him go, we will do so immediately.�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揑 think he just wants to stir up trouble. Why bother to reason with him?�

Ah Fei looked at him. Then said calmly, 揧ou say he betrayed his friends for riches, but aren抰 you the same? That day at Weng抯 house, aren抰 you also one of the attackers? It抯 just that Mrs. Weng did not see you!�

The brothers all look shocked, asking, 揑s he saying the truth?�

Ah Fei said, 揌e wants to kill this person only to silence him!�

Zhao Zheng Yi originally was very calm, but now he started to shiver.

揃ull...�

Angrily, he almost started to use obscenities . But then realized at the last second that such words aren抰 useful.

[Actually the half spoken obscenity is 憀et out your mom抯 dog fart�. But it has the same effect as saying BS. ^_^]

Instead he said with a cold smile.擨 never realized that such a youngster like you can lie so well. Good thing these are your words alone. No one will believe you!�

Ah Fei said, 揜eally? But why should we believe their words then?�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揗r. Tie has admitted his guilt. Didn抰 you hear?�

Ah Fei said, 揑 heard.�

Before he finished those words, his sword is already at Zhao Zheng Yi抯 throat!

Zhao Zheng Yi has been through hundreds of battles. It抯 not easy to sneak up on him. Yet for some reason, he could even see how this youngster pulled out his sword!

He just saw a blur, and the sword is already at his throat. He froze, then said, 揥hat... what do you want?�

Ah Fei said, 揑 just want to ask you. That day at Weng抯 house, were you there?�

Zhao Zheng Yi yelled angrily, 揧ou抮e crazy!�

Ah Fei said calmly, 揑f you don抰 admit it, then I抣l just have to kill you!�

He said those words with a normal tone, as if he抯 just joking.

Sweat poured down Zhao Zheng Yi face. 揑... I...�

Ah Fei said, 揧ou better answer correctly. Pray that you don抰 say a single wrong word.�

Everyone had seen the sword on Ah Fei抯 waist. They all thought it was pretty funny. But now, no one still feel that way.

Ah Fei kept on talking. 揟his is the last time I抦 going to ask you. I will not repeat again! Did you kill Weng Tian Hao?�

Zhao Zheng Yi could not help but say quietly, 揧es...�

When he said these words, the brothers were simply shocked beyond belief.

Ah Fei suddenly smiled, said, 揚lease don抰 worry. He had nothing to do with Weng Tian Hao抯 death.�

Now the brothers just stared at him.

Ah Fei said, 揑 just wanted to present a point. That is, when a person admits his guilt under pressure, it useless to use it as evidence!�

But the brothers asked, 揥hen did we pressure him?�

揇id you think we beat him until he admitted?�

揑f that抯 the case, why doesn抰 he say anything?�

Yi Ming Hu suddenly said, 揟ie Chuan Jia, if you feel that you抳e wronged, please say so now.�

Tie Chuan Jia just bit his teeth tightly, his face filled with pain.

Mrs. Weng said, 揝ince you have nothing to say, it means you抳e admit it. We never put a sword to your throat.�

Tie Chuan Jia sighed, 揗aster Fei. I really have nothing to say. I抦 sorry that your kindness is in vain.�

Ah Fei said, 揘o matter what he says, I still do not believe he抯 that kind of person.�

Gong Sun Yu said, 揕ook at the facts. You can抰 argue with it.�

Mrs. Weng laughed coldly. 揥ho cares if he doesn抰 believe us. Why should we care about him?�

Jin Feng Bai said, 揟hat抯 right. This has nothing to do with him anyway.�

Mrs. Weng said angrily, 揥ho do you think you are? Minding our business.�

The doctor said, 揝o what if I hurt him? What are you going to do?�

The doctor usually say the least words. And move the quickest. Before he finished, his axe has already cut down. The move, 慡plitting Mount Hua�, is what he抯 most famous for. Tie Chuan Jia just sat there, only waiting for the axe to split him in two.

The scholar gasped, knowing he抣l see blood.

Who抎 have thought that at this moment, the sword shined, instantly cutting the axe in half. The top fell before Tie Chuan Jia. The brothers all saw this sequence, no one could believe their eyes. Before anyone can speak, Ah Fei抯 sword has reached the throat of that doctor.

When Ah Fei attacked Zhao Zheng Yi, everyone thought it wasn抰 a big deal, as it抯 a sneak attack. But when he made this move, everyone could not help but look shocked.

They just can抰 believe that such a fast sword exists!

Yet Ah Fei just act as if everything抯 normal. He pulled Tie Chuan Jia up, then said. 揕et抯 go drink some wine.�

Gong Sun Yu, Jin Feng Bai, and Bian Hao all blocked their bath.

Jin Feng Bai said, 揇o you want to leave now? I don抰 think it抯 that easy.�

Ah Fei said calmly, 揥hat do you want me to do? Do you want me to kill you?�

Yi Ming Hu suddenly sighed, 揕et him go.�

Mrs. Weng said, 揌ow can we let him go? All that effort wasted...�

Yi Ming Hu continued, 揧ou can go. This is the way the martial world is anyway. Whoever has the fastest sword is right!�

Ah Fei said, 揟hanks for your word of advice. I will never forget it.�

Mrs. Weng is already in tears. 揌ow can we let him go... How can we let him go!�

Yi Ming Hu still did not show any emotions. 揥hat do you want then? Do you really want him to kill us all?�

Bian Hao said, 揝econd brother is right. As long as we stay alive, we can get our revenge later.�

Mrs. Weng suddenly went over and grabbed his shirt. 揧ou have the guts to talk? This is another one of your 慺riend�. It抯 the second time...�

Bian Hao said, 揧ou抮e right. I did bring him. I will hold myself accountable.� As he said this, he left the room.

Mrs. Weng gasped, then yelled, 揟hird brother. Come back!�

But when she chased him out the room, he抯 already nowhere to be seen.

Yi Ming Hu sighed, then said. 揕et him go. Hopefully, he can find that friend of his.�

Jin Feng Bai抯 eyes brightened. 揧ou mean...�

Yi Ming Hu said, 揝ince you know who I抦 talking about, why bother asking?�

Jin Feng Bai said, 揑f third brother really can find him, then no matter how fast this youngster is, he still won抰 escape.�

Zhao Zheng Yi suddenly laughed. 揂ctually, Mr. Bian do not need to find that person.�

揜eally?�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揑n the next two days, three people will come here. Even if that youngster has three heads and six arms, I can still guarantee that all three heads will come off!�

Jin Feng Bai asked, 揥hich three?�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揑f I said their names, you抎 probably all be shocked.�
