Preamble: BIG NEWS!!

“Big News!! Big News!!”

A man came running to the tea house of Norang where his friends were sitting.

“What is it??” spoke up one of his friends.

That man took two long breath and loudly declared,

“WU CLAN IS NO MORE”… Every one of them has been killed by the other six clans in the seize of Beiling.

 At first, the other people didn't quite get what he said but then when they realized and understood what happened, all of their faces filled with happiness…

“That means those evils are no more there!! We can start living without any worries now, HAHA!!!” a man on the tea house toasted his glass of liquor with the man in front of him after commenting so.

The tea house filled with gossips about them just in few minutes. Some couldn't even believe what they just heard. A clan who was so powerful that everyone feared, hated and despised was wholly wiped out overnight? It was a news which was quite unbelievable yet amusing.

People praised the six clans for being able to do the impossible. They loudly cheered for them.

“HAIL TO THE SIX CLANS!! They have done such a great act of bravery. They have freed us from the evils. Hail to them!!”

The tea house was a chaos. Some were laughing and making fun of the Wu's, some complaining about how bad they were, some kind of pitying them, some spreading random bad and also some not so true rumors.

Then one man suddenly loudly remarked,

“Listen! Listen! I heard that… Anh Wu was the only one among the Wu's who was still standing, alone at the very end, before getting killed.”

“No, No, I heard he killed himself….whatever way he died… He died awfully, and truthfully, he deserved that awful death…”

“Yes, of course he was an absolute traitor. He made friends with other clans and then deceived and betrayed them. Now see what Karma did to him. Tsk!!Tsk!!”

All the clans thought that Anh Wu, the third young master of Wu clan, was different from the other people of that clan. But he was the same as the others, AN EVIL AND A TRAITOR.

“Hmm hmm true, they called their miserable death upon themselves.”

“Haha!! They were all fools!”

The whole tea house filled with laughter again.

It didn't take long for the 'great news' to spread all across the town. That day not only in Norang's tea house but in every house they had only one name on their lips, “THE BETRAYER WUs.”

The sun rose above the sky, bright and blazing, the warm breeze blew away the dried leaves of the trees, the river flew swiftly and silently. One could hear the birds were chirping, the children were playing, the ladies and men of the town laughing and gossiping. It was just like any other normal day.

Nothing stayed still, nothing stopped, everything continued like the way it was. As if, nothing happened the night before…
