[Episode 2]
18
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:49,782
The two of you won't last long.
19
00:01:49,782 --> 00:01:52,100
The cold energy
inside your body is suppressing it.
20
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,990
You can only use this method
to restrain the poison.
21
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:58,550
You've tried so many ways to save her, risking your own life.
22
00:01:58,550 --> 00:02:00,460
Does she even know?
23
00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:04,440
I just hope she never finds out.
24
00:02:12,471 --> 00:02:14,630
The martial world
never lacks fools in love.
25
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:18,200
Finding the right person, even if it means dying, so what?
26
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,670
But dying without knowing the truth would be a real loss.
27
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:25,371
Everything has its counter.
28
00:02:25,371 --> 00:02:29,000
I refuse to believe there's a poison in this world without a cure.
29
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:33,980
As long as I'm here, I'll keep drawing the poison for her.
30
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:37,990
Everything has its counter. Are you talking about poison or people?
31
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:42,340
The poison in Miss Rong's body isn't something accumulated overnight.
32
00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:48,390
You mean... someone has
been poisoning her all along?
33
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:53,480
Otherwise, the poison
wouldn't have taken so long to act.
34
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,560
- What's happening?
- Come here!
35
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:04,440
- Everyone, move! Hurry up!
- Who are these people?
36
00:03:10,370 --> 00:03:12,290
- What's going on outside?
- Let's go.
37
00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:14,610
- Why are you stopping us?
- Wait, my legs are numb.
38
00:03:14,610 --> 00:03:16,272
- You two.
- Why are you completely soaked?
39
00:03:16,272 --> 00:03:18,960
- I'm hot.
Who are you people?
40
00:03:22,571 --> 00:03:24,510
Take them all over there.
41
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:31,210
Move!
42
00:03:31,210 --> 00:03:32,600
Hurry up!
43
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,710
You too, move!
44
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:38,560
The Ghost Valley Sect is here.
45
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,060
Yeah.
46
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:53,470
What's wrong?
47
00:03:54,350 --> 00:03:59,580
I think if I were to die here
in the desert with you,
48
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:01,850
it might actually be kind of fun.
49
00:04:05,470 --> 00:04:08,970
- If it weren't for the smell of camels, then...
- Shut up.
50
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:11,880
Brothers in arms, feasting across the lands.
51
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Walking side by side. May we meet again someday.
52
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Chief. You lit the fire and
signaled the move.
53
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,110
Since when did Ghost Valley Sect have a feud with the merchant caravans?
54
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:25,570
It's just that the leader
got a little paranoid.
55
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:30,300
So we have no choice
but to search carefully.
56
00:04:36,585 --> 00:04:40,393
Merchants passing through. Seeking shelter from the sandstorm at the Immortal Spring.
57
00:04:40,393 --> 00:04:44,230
I haven't seen any unfamiliar faces. However...
58
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:50,250
You seem to have a fever. Heatstroke and exhaustion.
59
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:53,870
Then drinking cold wine on top of that... Your energy is weak.
60
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:58,190
I'm afraid your waist won't hold up. You shouldn't force yourself.
61
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:05,600
This is my family's medicine. One pill a day.
62
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,190
Stay away from alcohol. You'll recover soon enough.
63
00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:11,140
Merchants come
and go through the desert.
64
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:15,220
We naturally appreciate
the Ghost Valley Sect's protection.
65
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:17,520
Just a small token of gratitude.
66
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:25,970
All right, that's it for tonight.
67
00:05:25,970 --> 00:05:27,530
Move out.
68
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,280
That was terrifying.
69
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,580
Many thanks to the Master Healer
for saving us.
70
00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:37,630
Thank you, Master Healer! Thank you!
71
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:45,612
That sister may look delicate, but surviving in a place like this,
72
00:05:45,612 --> 00:05:47,670
she's remarkable.
73
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:51,200
-She is indeed not an ordinary woman.
-You know her?
74
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,820
I know many secrets. Some secrets in the martial world can save lives.
75
00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:00,190
Some can get you killed.
76
00:06:00,190 --> 00:06:03,640
What about mine? Do you know my secrets? Tell me.
77
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Your secrets... I'll find out.
78
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,310
You're bluffing.
79
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:16,180
Beyond these mountains lie endless paths, winds and storms ahead.
80
00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:18,026
Take care.
81
00:06:18,026 --> 00:06:21,280
Thank you, Senior, for your assistance. I'm deeply grateful.
82
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,380
Miss, come over here and have some fruit.
83
00:06:29,550 --> 00:06:32,830
You already know, once I intervene, I will see it through to the end.
84
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:36,550
Once you find out
what poison was used, contact me.
85
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:38,700
I will seek the antidote.
86
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,220
Much appreciated.
87
00:06:42,450 --> 00:06:45,820
If you ever need my help, I am at your service.
88
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160
As expected. If you weren't from Tiangang,
[Tiangang]
89
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,460
how could you have schemed so meticulously?
90
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:56,250
Thank you, Senior.
91
00:06:57,220 --> 00:06:59,130
Miss Rong.
92
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:04,548
- Senior.
- The martial world is dangerous. You must be extra cautious.
93
00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:06,640
Take good care of yourself.
94
00:07:07,630 --> 00:07:10,610
Senior. Take care.
95
00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:13,670
- Come on, let's go.
- Watch your step.
96
00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:17,130
Let's go.
97
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:20,680
-Aren't you leaving?
- Where to?
98
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,380
The Ruthless Parlor.
99
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:25,850
Doesn't seem that heartless to me. Why are we going there?
100
00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:28,510
Have you ever been there?
101
00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:30,700
Do I seem reckless like you?
102
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:33,670
I always plan things out.
103
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:43,460
Leader. They've headed towards the Ruthless Parlor.
104
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:47,430
Move out. Let's go see what all the fuss is about.
105
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,760

107
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:22,530
[A hundred gold to buy a life,
even the heartless have feelings]
108
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,930
Do they sell weapons here?
109
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:29,900
You just hang your sword like that?
110
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:34,180
This is the most rule-abiding place. Though it's filled with the most lawless people.
111
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:54,615
I, Jin Bu Yao, Lord of the Ruthless Parlor, welcome.
[Jin Bu Yao, Lord of Ruthless Parlor]
112
00:08:54,615 --> 00:08:59,240
I ask that you lay down your weapons before entering the Ruthless Parlor.
113
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:09,290
So it's Yan Shao. Your entrance fee has already been paid.
114
00:09:09,290 --> 00:09:11,980
Please, enter the Ruthless Parlor.
115
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,630
We're together.
116
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:32,480
A hundred gold to buy a life,
117
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,760
even the heartless have feelings.
118
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:41,230
What does that mean? Do I have to pay a hundred gold just to enter?
119
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:44,160
- That's robbery.
- Not at all.
120
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,700
A life is worth a thousand gold.
121
00:09:50,950 --> 00:09:54,490
So this place is a sanctuary for people in the martial world?
122
00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:59,193
Follow the contract, and hang up the truce plaque. Turn swords into peace. That's the idea, right?
123
00:09:59,193 --> 00:10:01,420
You're quite sharp, Miss.
124
00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:05,790
So if I go in, do I really have to pay
a hundred gold?
125
00:10:05,790 --> 00:10:08,820
You are exceptionally clever.
126
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:11,950
Fine. Then I'll just be here and wait to die.
127
00:10:11,950 --> 00:10:14,850
Someone will pay for you.
128
00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:20,360
Jin Bu Yao. This is Rong Shu Kuang from Yuchi Manor.
129
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,930
So you brought her here to claim the bounty?
130
00:10:28,930 --> 00:10:31,450
Huo Xiang. Chai Hu.
131
00:10:36,290 --> 00:10:37,930
Please.
132
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,910
Huo Xiang. Chai Hu.
133
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,950
Those names sound soothing.
134
00:10:55,810 --> 00:11:00,350
Chinese motherwort mixed
with pearl powder for a bath can nourish the skin.
135
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,504
While peach blossom powder combined
with black-bone chicken blood can enhance the complexion.
136
00:11:04,504 --> 00:11:06,290
More. I want more.
137
00:11:06,290 --> 00:11:10,300
Exactly. This is how you truly live
the martial world dream.
138
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,620
Looks like I made the right choice.
139
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:15,600
I could stay here for a long time.
140
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,690
Miss, you're from Yuchi Manor? Then, naturally,
your things are different from ours.
141
00:11:20,690 --> 00:11:22,910
You sure know a lot.
142
00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:25,770
What else do you know about Yuchi Manor? Tell me.
143
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:28,926
Yuchi Manor? It's the number one manor in the martial world.
144
00:11:28,926 --> 00:11:31,430
From the Manor Lord down,
there are four divisions.
145
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:35,420
Each is ruled
by the heads of Hai, Feng, Lu, and Song. The four great hall masters.
146
00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:38,840
Their businesses stretch far and wide. They are wealthy beyond measure.
147
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,490
After you were taken by Ghost Valley Sect, Yuchi Manor placed the reward in Ruthless Parlor to secure your rescue.
148
00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:49,240
That hero who brought you here must have already collected the reward.
149
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,880
Miss, that tattoo on your body is quite unique.
150
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,570
It's rare for a woman to have such a tattoo.
151
00:11:54,570 --> 00:11:56,410
A tattoo?
152
00:11:58,810 --> 00:12:00,620
Where?
153
00:12:07,390 --> 00:12:10,090
What is this?
154
00:12:10,090 --> 00:12:13,050
A moth?
155
00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:34,580
- Does it still hurt?
- No.
156
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:38,220
But, Master, what does this tattoo mean?
157
00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:42,890
Yan Er. You'll understand when you grow up.
158
00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:49,290
Swear to me, no matter what happens in the future, you must protect Fang Yi with your life.
159
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:52,780
Protect her for life and keep her safe.
160
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:02,747
[Feng Ming]
161
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,710
Who injured Yan Shao so badly? How could this happen?
[Fei Wu]
162
00:13:09,710 --> 00:13:12,000
With his skills, how is this possible...
163
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,993
- Did the letter to Yuchi Manor get delivered?
- Yes.
164
00:13:14,993 --> 00:13:18,993
I need a few days to recover my internal energy before I can set out.
165
00:13:18,993 --> 00:13:22,310
There's no need for you to stay. Carry out my instructions.
166
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:23,520
Yes.
167
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,926
I'm not leaving. I don't feel safe leaving you here alone.
168
00:13:27,926 --> 00:13:31,450
A few days of rest will do. Besides, this is the Ruthless Parlor.
169
00:13:31,450 --> 00:13:35,970
There is no place safer than this. Your mission is just as important.
170
00:13:35,970 --> 00:13:40,460
Are you really willing to make an enemy of Ghost Valley Sect for a woman?
171
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:46,110
Do I need a reason
to oppose the Ghost Valley Sect?

[Ruthless Parlor]
173
00:14:09,537 --> 00:14:15,150
Each time you channel your energy
to draw out the poison, the damage to your body worsens.
174
00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:18,070
Your martial strength will also weaken.
175
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,210
Can the poison be completely expelled?
176
00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:27,210
It's unlikely. But at the very least, it can slow the effects.
177
00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:29,220
She could last another three to five years.

That's good.
179
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:35,860
No matter what,
expelling even a little of the poison
180
00:14:35,860 --> 00:14:38,390
gives her a better chance to survive.
181
00:14:38,390 --> 00:14:43,010
But the poison will also seep
into your bloodstream and it could cost you your life.
182
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,804
Two people bearing it together
is better than her facing it alone.

You can just wait for Yuchi Manor to fetch you.
319

No way. Even if I return, Yuchi Manor isn't entirely safe either.

Fine. Heartless and ruthless. You win.
323
00:24:14,530 --> 00:24:17,810
Coming at night, clearly unfriendly.
Show yourself.

In Ruthless Parlor,
there are no enemies or friends.
325
00:24:20,780 --> 00:24:23,220
Why the need to meet?
326
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,340
Do you think my room is open to everyone? Barging in uninvited?
327
00:24:28,340 --> 00:24:31,360
Meeting someone unclothed would be improper.
328

Would you allow me to put on some clothes first?
329
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:37,848
Bare honesty reflects true sincerity.
330

We're all people of the martial world,
so no need for formalities.
331

With such fair skin,
why are you acting like a woman?
332
00:25:41,030 --> 00:25:45,230
Barging into a man's room while he bathes, does that make you a hero?
333
00:26:02,740 --> 00:26:04,500
Leader Shen, impressive skills.
334
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:06,830
But it seems Yan Shao has the upper hand.
335
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:08,830
To receive your praise, what an honor.
336
00:26:08,830 --> 00:26:12,740
Are we really going to waste the night
exchanging such meaningless pleasantries?
337

Leader Shen, have you come tonight to uncover the identity of the one who rescued Rong Shu Kuang?
338
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:18,780
Sharp as ever.
339

I'm just in it for the money.

00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:25,010
You don't expect me to believe that, do you?
341
00:26:25,010 --> 00:26:27,620
What if I say it's for the person?
342
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:32,700
Rong Shu Kuang does have a certain charm.
343
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:34,600
Heroes think alike.
344
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:40,200
To win a woman's heart, you must first place her in danger, and then be the one to save her.
345
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,610
If it were really about her, you wouldn't have brought her here.
346
00:26:43,610 --> 00:26:47,020
You'd have taken her far away instead.
347
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:49,670
I changed my mind. Is that a crime?
348
00:26:49,670 --> 00:26:55,160
The name Yan Shao didn't just appear in the martial world
without reason.
349
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:01,250
I suspect you're using Rong Shu Kuang to get close to Yuchi Manor.
350
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:04,600
Targeting Yuchi Manor
means targeting its treasure.
351
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,190
Since that's the case,
why not join forces with me?
352
00:27:08,190 --> 00:27:12,870
We could storm Yuchi Manor, take the key to the treasure,
and split the spoils.
353
00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:16,590
Wouldn't that be better?
354
00:27:25,950 --> 00:27:28,850
I'm not fond of sharing.
355
00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:33,360
Women, wealth... I prefer to keep them to myself.
356
00:27:36,110 --> 00:27:40,710
Being an ally of Ghost Valley Sect is far better than being its enemy.
357
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:45,220
Yan Shao, think it over.
358
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,090
If you ask me,
359
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:03,390
you've never seen him wield that staff.
360
00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:04,730
It's like a work of art.
361
00:28:04,730 --> 00:28:05,830
I'll drink to that.
362
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:09,915
When will we get a chance to see it in action?
363
00:28:09,915 --> 00:28:12,020
What are you looking at?
364
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:20,600
Look. If he catches me, the next meal for that dog will be my flesh.
365
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,580
To Shen Zui Tian, Lie is more than just a dog.
366
00:28:24,580 --> 00:28:28,280
Does it matter? Isn't my life more important right now?
367
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,890
Fine, I get it. You don't care whether I live or die.
368
00:28:32,890 --> 00:28:34,570
Beg me.
369
00:28:34,570 --> 00:28:38,530
Maybe if I'm in a good mood,
I'll take your job offer.
370
00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:40,150
Keep dreaming.
371
00:28:40,150 --> 00:28:41,671
Young Master Lin, this way.
372
00:28:41,671 --> 00:28:43,440
Young Master Lin is here? Is it really him?
373
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,820
Young Master Lin!
[Lin Shao Ci, Yuchi Manor]
374
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:46,980
- Let's go take a look.
- All right.
375
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:48,515
Young Master Lin.
376
00:28:48,515 --> 00:28:51,190
This gentleman has quite
an extraordinary presence.
377
00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:57,250
Could he be the young master
of Yuchi Manor himself, Lin Shao Ci?
378
00:28:57,250 --> 00:29:00,160
Young Master Lin is a true gentleman.
379
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,093
Among the younger generation of martial families, he's considered a role model.
380
00:29:05,093 --> 00:29:08,250
Admired by all, I suppose it's no surprise.
381
00:29:08,250 --> 00:29:10,360
You seem quite familiar with him.
382
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,590
Yuchi Manor has been famous for years. Everyone knows of it.
383
00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:20,630
Looks like my cover won't be easy to maintain.
384
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:23,460
Aren't you going down to greet him?
385
00:29:23,460 --> 00:29:25,450
He already rejected my marriage proposal.
386
00:29:25,450 --> 00:29:29,860
If I rush over to him now, wouldn't that just make me look desperate?
387
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:31,471
Fair point.
388
00:29:31,471 --> 00:29:34,190
By the way, Brother Shao Ci, look!
389
00:29:53,985 --> 00:29:56,973
♫ Spinning through my heart,
my dreams, the endless Jianghu ♫
390
00:29:56,973 --> 00:30:00,025
♫ A fateful turn,
where love and hearts collide ♫
391
00:30:00,025 --> 00:30:03,082
♫ Ah, such a blissful tide ♫
392
00:30:03,082 --> 00:30:07,547
♫ A journey long,
yet life is but one ride ♫
393
00:30:07,547 --> 00:30:10,211
♫ Blades in chaos,
the world in turmoil, tangled ties ♫
394
00:30:10,211 --> 00:30:13,285
♫ A fleeting warmth
to shield me from the ice ♫
395
00:30:13,285 --> 00:30:16,484
♫ Ah, as spring awakens love's delight ♫
396
00:30:16,484 --> 00:30:19,983
♫ One single glance,
my heart takes flight ♫
397
00:30:19,983 --> 00:30:23,615
♫ I've heard tales of love and vengeance,
left forgotten in the tide ♫
398
00:30:23,615 --> 00:30:26,830
♫ And whispers of desert stars and rain,
where love at first sight fades to cries ♫
399
00:30:26,830 --> 00:30:30,010
♫ But I don't know, I don't know,
how long this moment will abide ♫
400
00:30:30,010 --> 00:30:33,285
♫ Yet here and now,
for this one soul, I stand beside ♫
401
00:30:33,285 --> 00:30:36,685
♫ I understand, love and longing,
how much truth, how many lies ♫
402
00:30:36,685 --> 00:30:40,125
♫ Yet my swift blade cannot sever,
cannot sever these endless ties ♫
403
00:30:40,125 --> 00:30:43,376
♫ I have known, the lonely journeys,
wandering years without goodbyes ♫
404
00:30:43,376 --> 00:30:47,585
♫ Yet this moment stirs the ache inside ♫
405
00:30:47,585 --> 00:30:52,256
♫ One turn through this dream of Jianghu,
one heartbeat lost in time ♫
406
00:30:52,256 --> 00:30:55,255
♫ No dream compares
to a fateful meeting so divine ♫
407
00:30:55,255 --> 00:31:01,195
♫ Love needs no hero,
only a foolish mind ♫
408
00:31:01,195 --> 00:31:05,370
♫ Trapped in Jianghu's ruthless tides,
once, let me defy ♫
409
00:31:05,370 --> 00:31:08,641
♫ A single touch, a fleeting smile,
is enough to shake the sky ♫
410
00:31:08,641 --> 00:31:14,555
♫ Stirring the stillness,
where the winds rise high ♫
411
00:31:14,555 --> 00:31:18,193
♫ Though fate may part our paths,
we walk the same road ♫
412
00:31:18,193 --> 00:31:21,577
♫ A crescent moon,
a crimson glow, a love untold ♫
413
00:31:21,577 --> 00:31:24,855
♫ Like passing winds, like aching souls,
never to meet once more ♫
414
00:31:24,855 --> 00:31:27,485
♫ Then what is fate even for ♫
415
00:31:27,485 --> 00:31:31,752
♫ Just once, to fall into your arms,
not lost, nor torn, nor bound to strife ♫
416
00:31:31,752 --> 00:31:34,774
♫ Amidst the storm of masters' might,
hidden deep, a love so bright ♫
417
00:31:34,774 --> 00:31:38,055
♫ Standing apart from all the fight,
only one embrace so right ♫
418
00:31:38,055 --> 00:31:40,694
♫ A dream of Jianghu's light ♫
419
00:31:40,694 --> 00:31:45,053
♫ One turn through this dream of Jianghu,
one heartbeat lost in time ♫
420
00:31:45,053 --> 00:31:48,333
♫ No dream compares
to a fateful meeting so divine ♫
421
00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:54,199
♫ Love needs no hero,
only a foolish mind ♫
422
00:31:54,199 --> 00:31:58,300
♫ Trapped in Jianghu's ruthless tides,
once, let me defy ♫
423
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:01,601
♫ A single touch, a fleeting smile,
is enough to shake the sky ♫
424
00:32:01,601 --> 00:32:09,601
♫ Stirring the stillness,
where the winds rise high ♫
