We've been living peacefully outside the border

Why must we come back here?

It's been 10 years. Have you come back for her ?!

No. The reason for my return is that, I hear...

the Plum Blossom Bandit has reappeared

Yes, what's that got to do with us?

Twenty years ago, the Plum Blossom Bandit

was a well known master in the martial world

He has harmed a lot of people

I wanted to look for him 10 years ago

He just vanished suddenly

I think he might want to look me up now

Inspite of knowing all this...

then what are you doing back?

He must have gone to look for me at my old house

Are you worried that he might hurt your cousin?

If you love her so much...

Why did you let her marry Long Xiaoyun?

I know that he once saved your life

But I've never heard of anyone who would...

give up his fiancee and property for gratitude

That happened ten years ago

There's no need to bring it up

Aren't you cold? You want a sip of wine?

Are you deaf?

So you're not deaf. Have a sip

I can't afford it

Don't worry, it's my treat

I don't want to take things from others

I don't want to drink wine which I didn't buy

Have I made myself clear?

Yes, quite

Then please leave

I will

Say, when you can afford it...

will you treat me to a drink?

Certainly

Sit down please

Over there

Your wine, young master

There're a few from the Golden Lion Escort Agency

They're escorting something from out of town

Number two

Do you remember that time we came across

... the Four Tigers of Tai Xing?

How can I forget? That day they tried

... to steal from you

But they are no match for you

So you're 'Sudden Wind Sword' Zhuge Lei?

May I ask your names? Sorry I didn't recognize

You aren't worthy of knowing our names

Just leave what you are escorting

... and we'll spare your life

Put down your swords

And we'll let you live

Are you 'The Black and White Snake?"

Well, at least you've heard of us !

Since the two want this package

Go on, take it

Looks like there's another grand master here

We've almost missed you

If you're interested in this package

And if you can defeat us;

Not only we'll give this to you

We're willing to give you our heads

Your heads are worth nothing

Did you say that?

Yes

It's a pity mine is worthless

It's too much, I just want 50 taels

Fine, if you can kill me...

I'll give you 50 taels

My money !

Take it, take all of it

So, it's you !

I can afford to buy you a drink now

With pleasure

I look for good drinking company

... and a good place

I hate crowds

Please

Judging from the awe they had in their eyes...

you seem like someone well known

It's not a good thing to be famous

My name is Li Xunuan, and yourself ?

Ah Fei

Ah Fei ?

Right

I'm an orphan who grew up in the wilderness

I envy the birds flying in the sky

Hence my name !

Strange name indeed. Cheers

You shouldn't be drinking while coughing

Yes, I shouldn't touch any alcohol

Then why do you drink?

Do you have a sad past?

Have I asked anything you don't want to answer?

No

Then why did you ask?

Okay, I won't

Even if you want to ask, it'll have to wait

We've got company

Yes, one on the tree on the left

Four at the temple ruins

One behind the tree

Li's Legendary Dagger, Never a miss! So overrated

Give up the package

And we'll leave you alone

I've got the package

Let's have another drink before I head off

Go! Chase...

Wait for me here

Who are you?

Li Xunuan

Finally you are here

You've been waiting for me?

A hero called Ah fey has killed many

except one; he told me to keep an eye on him

And wait for you

Where's the person?

Here

What are you doing here?

This is the only house around

After I've got the package

... I wanted to rest here for a night

Who'd have known that your young friend's here !

Have some tea

Thanks

Are you alright, sir?

I'm not used to drinking tea

Then have some wine

-Do you have any? -Yes

Great

Just a minute

I'll give you the package

Please let me go

What's inside the package?

Why are so many after it?

You honestly don't know?

Now that the Plum Flower Bandit reappeared

Inside the package

is the unique

Gold Threaded Vest. It's like an armour

No wonder !

Wine, sir

Thanks

Please let me go

I'll give you everything

I've an old grandmother

Three children

A lot of people are after this package

So are you

I kept my mouth shut before you had your tea

Now that you've had a sip of poison tea

... at the most I can wait here one more hour

You'll die of poisoning

I wasn't a part of it

Who are you?

Maybe you should know...

who killed you !

What a pretty girl

I'd watch out should I see you again

Do you think you'll see me again?

Of course, you know the tea is poisoned

But you didn't know that when I was coughing

... I spit out the tea

Come on

lmpressive !

Don't fight them. If you use your energy

... the poison inside you will circulate faster

The girl forced me into poisoning the tea

But I was responsible for poisoning the wine

The wine too?

Couldn't you taste it?

You are ...

One of the Seven Incredible Men

The mean and shameless one ... Hua Feng

I see

Not anymore

Now I'm the richest man in the martial arts world

For I own the Gold Threaded Vest

You ... you ...

It's called, Fisherman gains when snipe & clam fight

You ... you ...

Master

Chuanjia

Master

Chuanjia

Master

Hurry, go after him

Sure

He is over there

Dead !

Maybe he's got the antidote

Be careful

He could have other poisonous weapons

Don't scratch yourself

I know

Nothing at all

I knew it

I'm never that lucky

Excellent wine

Where do you think you're going?

Despite charging us, you didn't treat the patient

What'd you mean by coming here and drinking wine ?

Haven't you heard

... that I've a habit ?

What habit?

I don't treat patients when I drink

Damn it, I'll kill you

I wouldn't treat the patient, if you want to kill me

Let's talk this over

No one needs to get hurt

Mind your own business

Don't run

Don't run

Don't run

Odd indeed that the one who is telling us not to run

... is instead running away himself !

Do you now know who I am?

Sorry, may I know your name?

In that case...

You save me not because you wanted my cure

Why do we need your help to cure us?

Your master's poisoned by my Cold Chicken powder

I'm the only one who can cure him

No one else can

Someone stole the powder from me a year ago

And now you've been poisoned

Come on,

Nothing is better than drinking to death

Let's have a drink first

Mr. Mei, you said you'll cure my master

Why are you drinking?

Why should trivial matters such as life and death

... get in the way of drinking?

If you don't give me some wine, I won't help

Master

Come on

You know that our master...

can only live for two more hours?

Why aren't you doing anything?

I wouldn't be Mei Er...

if you know when I've cured you

I've already cured him

The wine is the antidote

Thank you, doctor

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

I'm Tian Qi

Please excuse my two friends

I'm here to apologize for them

Sounds good

Someone's hurt by the Plum Blossom Bandit

Could you treat him first?

Is he badly injured ?

A minor wound on his shoulders

Is that it? Then I don't have to go personally

Just take the medicine. Where is he ?

Xingyun Manor

Who's the injured person?

Master Long Xiaoyun

Xunuan

Yes, it's me

You're really here

I brought some medicine from Mei Er for you

Plum Blossom Bandit has resurfaced !

Right, he's now in Baoding City

He has injured many

Where did it all take place ?

My back garden. The Plum...

Blossom Forest in front of Cold Fragrance Chamber

Why there?

Because Lin Xianer lives there

Who's Lin Xianer?

The number one beauty of martial arts world

Do you have any idea...

how many have fallen head over heels for her?

What's her connection to you, Brother Long?

Why's she living in the Cold Fragrance Chamber?

Let me fill you in the details

I heard that Miss Lirs father...

was killed by the Plum Blossom Bandit

She has announced that...

she'll marry whoever kills the Plum Blossom Bandit

... regardless of age, status and wealth

She'll marry that person

She's going to meet with a group of heroes

... here today

Hence she has been putting up at the chamber

Master Long

Master Gongsun and many heroes

... have arrived

If it weren't for Lin Xianer's beauty...

I doubt so many important guests will show up

Even if it were a great feast

Clean up the guest rooms in the East Chamber

Yes

You must be tired after yourjourney

Take a rest in the guest room

Then I'll introduce you to everyone

It's time of the red plum season

Wonder how plum blossoms are like at the pavilion !

Fallen plums like the snow...

It's been 10 years. Wonder how the plum blossoms are

You're back

10 years. You're still drinking as you were

Ten years seems like a long time, but it passed by

If I don't drink, life seems like such a burden !

Who told you to do so?

Myself

Why?

Because I owe my life to someone

To be benevolent to your savior you feigned idiocy

You got drunk all the time, frequented the brothels

Yes, I was hoping you'd give up on me

... and marry Long Xiaoyun

Do you think I'd be happy?

After you've left

I found out the truth

I wanted to kill myself

And then I thought...

I'd better stay alive

Because there's a chance we'll see each other again

Too bad, things have changed now

The past is in the past

Lady Lin

Where's Master Li?

He's right here

Master Li, all the guests have arrived

Master Long invites you to Cold Fragrance Chamber

Please

Let me introduce you

My sworn brother Li Xunuan

Li Ning of Wudang Clan

Pleased to meet you

Golden Fist Deng Lie

Delighted

Wang Chen, Golden Palms of Hua Shan

Pleased to meet you

Master Tian Qi, the Iron Sword

Delighted

This is the renowned Master Gongsun

Pleased to meet you

Master Li was a legendary character ten years ago

I'm glad to finally meet you

Same here

He's Longsheng, young master of Hidden Sword Manor

He's proud and aloof, with incredible swordplay

Nonetheless he is infatuated with Lin Xianer

He's most eager to have Plum Blossom Bandit dead

Master Zhao is here

Master Zhao

Sorry I am late

No problem

Master Zhao, why are you here with so much gold?

There is a saying:

It's everyone's duty to rid the society of evils

I hate the pests of the society

That's why I'm here today

I hope to eliminate a public enemy

And I brought along 10,000 taels of gold as...

a reward for the one who kills Plum Blossom Bandit

Where's Miss Lin?

Miss Lin ...

Please sit down

My father was murdered, I can't wait to get my revenge

That's why I take this opportunity here

... to say this in person

Whoever kills the Plum Blossom Bandit

regardless of age, status and wealth

I, Lin Xianer, will keep my promise to marry him

What Miss Lin is about to do...

has set a good example forjustice

I admire your courage

I don't deserve such praise from Master Zhao

This is ...

My sworn brother Li Xunuan

No wonder he's so good with the daggers

Have you two met?

Yes, and I've offended him

Can I have a word with Master Li alone?

Certainly

You should know why I'm here

You need that Gold Threaded Vest

because you'll go up against the Plum Blossom Bandit

That's right

Is that it?

If you want to find out more...

Meet me here at midnight

And I'll let you know the details

There have been two deaths here

One is the younger brother of the Master Iron Flute

The other is the only son of Master Zhao Zhengyi

They died at midnight

Why at midnight?

Because people say the Plum Blossom Bandit

always shows up around midnight

The Plum Blossom Bandit ?

Longsheng... young master of Hidden Sword Mansion

That's me

Why do you want to kill me?

Someone wants me to kill you

Hurry... inside

Look

Master You?

Someone over there

What's going on?

Who told you to come here?

Miss Lin Xianer

Bullshit

Miss Lin Xianer has left in the evening

I saw her off personally

That can't be,

I was just talking to her earlier

If she hasn't told me to meet her here

... what would I be doing here?

To kill

To kill?

That's right

At midnight the Plum Blossom Bandit will show up

A concerned person

At midnight,

you killed Master You

Get him

You've got it all wrong

We all were set up in a trap

Let's sit down and talk this over

We're not interested

Looks like all of you...

are hell bent to kill me now

Don't come any closer

That was a warning,

next time it's gonna be for real

Zhao Zhengyi, you said earlier that

you want to get rid of the pests in society?

Why don't you do something !

Right, are you waiting for Master Tian Qi ?

Or Master Gongsun ?

Xunuan, Xunuan

That's so strange, you all wanted me dead

Why don't you do something?

I think you've got it wrong

My sworn brother won't be the Plum Blossom Bandit

Xunuan, please hold your temper

Brother Long

Master Zhao, we must kill him today

What are you doing?

Stop it, everyone

Let him go first

No matter what crime he has done

... I'll take full responsibility

We just can't let the Plum Blossom Bandit walk away

That's right

Xunuan, why don't you tell them ...

that you're no Plum Blossom Bandit?

It took them a while to catch a suspect

I don't want to ruin their excitement

Chuanjia

Let's go, young master

Chuanjia

Xunuan

Do you remember the day we first met?

The Justice Eight accused you for

... killing their head Meng Tianjie

I told you to leave just like you're doing now

You remember what you said then?

I said I didn't kill anyone

I won't leave...

before this matter is cleared up

Then why are you telling me to leave now?

I think you won't believe I'm the Plum Blossom Bandit!

But before they get to the bottom of all this...

they shouldn't hurt you now

There's no need for further investigation. We're right

He is the Plum Blossom Bandit

Shut up

Ah Fei

Who are you? What do you want?

Who are you? What do you want?

I want to teach you a lesson

My friend

Very impressive, at such a young age

I'm Zhao Zhengyi, the impartial person

And your name is ?

I want to be your friend

I don't have a name,

and I don't want you as my friend

Your package

So you killed Hua Feng

That's right, he was carrying the package

I knew he couldn't be a good person

I went back to look for you, but you weren't there

Then I found out you're here

What's going on?

They said I'm the Plum Blossom Bandit

Bullshit

Come on, let's go for a drink

Wait

It's just the Plum Blossom Bandit we're after

You shouldn't get involved

Who said he's the Plum Blossom Bandit?

I said so

Shiyin

What's going on?

I have no idea

Tell the others that you're the Plum Blossom Bandit

Are you crazy?

How would I be the Plum Blossom Bandit ?

I'll ask you one more time

This is your last chance. Are you ?

Yes, I'm the Plum Blossom Bandit

You heard him, everyone

If his word is to be trusted...

He is the Plum Blossom Bandit

Young man, that's not fair

I mean this is how the martial world functions

The one with the quickest sword is the boss

So?

Anyone else?

Let's go

Wait

How do you know I'm not that Bandit ?

I grew up in the wilderness, like an animal

I've an instinct to distinguish good and evil

If I leave now...

They will be more certain that

... I'm the suspect

Xunuan is right

He can leave when we're sure of the facts

Right

Fine, I'll be in the deserted temple in the outskirts

Come look for me should you need me

Great

Young brother

I don't need the Gold Threaded Vest, you take this

I got it, bye

So you're here for the package

The Plum Blossom Bandit?

You got hit with my Plum Blossom Nails

You shouldn't be able to move

Li Xunuan was right

He knew someone would come after this vest

Before I left

He told me to wear it

Very impressive

What are you doing here?

Here's your belongings. Leave now

Why must I leave?

Can't you tell they're doing this on purpose?

I've suspected it,

since the first day I came back to the country,

there's a trap waiting for me

The Gold Threaded Vest, Lin Xianer

and now they call me the Plum Blossom Bandit

Who is trying to hurt me?

Since you know that someone's trying to hurt you

You should better leave soon

Have you seen the spider webs?

Yes

We're like the spiders

We all want to make our own web

Then we can live in it forever

For everything that we've done

For money, love, friendship, for ourselves

We've made our own web to tie us up

Then we're trapped in it

No matter what we do, we can't get out

Some people call this fate

Why are you back, cousin?

Destiny !

Xunuan...

Shiyin, what are you doing here?

She's here to see me

Although I released your vital points the other day

But I worried for your health

Here's some herbal tea for you

Thanks, Brother Long

Xiaoyun,

you know that he's not the Plum Blossom Bandit

Why don't you help him clear all this up?

Don't worry,

we'll soon know the truth

They've already sent someone...

to inform Master Xinmei of Shaolin Temple

They'll send a representative here soon

The Shaolin Temple is famous forjustice

They won't wrongly accuse people

Master, master

What is it?

Master Zhao said it's urgent

He's waiting for you in the hall

Folks, what's going on?

We've just received news

Master Xinmei will arrive soon

That's great

The bad news is ...

Mr. Iron Flute is also on the road

He's famous for retaliation

If he launches a fight,

We're no match for him

If he gets here earlier than Master Xinmei

... and kills Li Xunuan

Then what can we tell the Shaolin Temple?

Li Xunuars friend is a problem too

We must watch out for him

Don't worry, I've an idea

What? Your master is in danger

I heard that someone will kill my master tonight

He's a martial arts expert

Where is your master now?

Locked in the stock room

Li Xunuan

So this is a trap !

I presumed you to be just

I told you to mind your own business

Get him

Don't worry, he won't run far

Mr. Iron Flute

You're hurt? Got ambushed?

Why are you asking me? Since you've observed it

I don't like to attack people behind their back

If they didn't attack me from behind

There's no way they could hurt me

You're very arrogant

I don't want to harm you since you're hurt

But I must teach you a lesson...

for being arrogant

Since you're hurt, I'll let you take three moves first

Why are you leaving?

I don't want you to die here

Why would I die?

Because no one can take my three moves

You want to try ?

Forget 3, no one can take one move

I said I'll let you take three moves first

That was one

Two more

Two

Three

Fine, that's it

lmpressive ! You were right

It's hard to hurt you unless from behind

I've learnt one thing today

I can't let anyone to take three moves first

And you should have learnt one thing

Every move should be fatal

Mr. Iron Flute, have you met the young man?

Yes

Did you kill him?

No

I'm here to kill Li Xunuan

Xunuan

Why would they let me out of the stock room

... and drink here?

I heard that Master Xinmei...

will arrive tonight

You'll go to Shaolin Temple tomorrow

No he won't

Why not?

Because I'll kill him tonight

Mr. Iron Flute

Why don't you ask me why I want you dead ?

I don't want to offend you. And anyway...

If I explain anything, you won't believe me

Then why would I bother !

Right, I'd kill you no matter what

Mr. Iron Flute

No wonder my younger brother died at your hands

You're very good

So I killed your brother

You should tell me

What does he look like

So that I can say hello to him in hell

Bullshit

Amitabha Buddha

Master Xinmei

Master Iron Flute,

why the rush to kill Li Xunuan?

I must avenge for my brother

I heard that you'll always get even

You'd never do anyone any favors

I wonder if you could make this an exception

Let me and Li Xunuan go to Shaolin Temple

Because my chief said he doesn't believe...

Li Xunuan to be the Plum Blossom Bandit

Fine. With you here...

It won't be easy for me to kill him

But if you're sure that he's the Plum Blossom Bandit

... then I want to be the one to kill him

Thank you

Where am I ?

The guest room

You saved me?

You fainted outside

Where are my clothes?

I helped you change

I feel dizzy

Take a nap

What is it, Zhaolong?

Our master said that...

Li Xunuan will head for Shaolin tomorrow

Take the Gold Threaded Vest to your master

Inform him that Ah Fei is injured; that he's here

I'll make sure he recovers slowly

Yes

Inform the Five Poisons Kid

That Li Xunuan will be on the road tomorrow

Tell them to kill him on the way

100,000 taels of gold, 5 pearls will be delivered soon

Yes

Li Xunuan, you must die

Take care of yourself on the road

Don't drink too much

I know

Why don't you clamp his vital points?

Lock him up in chains

That's right

It's not necessary

He might run

He'd be already gone if he wished

Chuanjia, what are you doing here?

I heard that the master will head for Shaolin today

I'm here to escort

It's an arduous journey

Twenty years I've worked for you

However tough the journey, I'm not afraid

Very loyal indeed !

Let's go, Master Li

Another bowl

Come... serve the guests

Master, they don't have the wine you like

Only the local stuff

It's fine

Don't touch anything

What's going on?

It's poisoned

How do you know?

Look

Who did this?

I um...

Speak up

Not him, or he'd be gone already

What do you think he's staying here for?

Right, I don't know what happened

My brother cooked the dishes

That's my brother

What's going on?

Who did this?

Look

Five Poisons Kid

That's him

Looks like you've got friends

But you've got more enemies

I've heard that the Five Poisons Kid

... has many ways to poison a person

And if he is determined to kill someone...

then the person will die for sure

That's right. Unless he never eats !

Let's take a break here

Sure

Let's take a break here

You have a rest too, Master Li

Master Tian, you must be starving

Of course. We haven't eaten in three days

Old man, here's 10 taels

Can I have the steamed buns?

Ten taels?

That's right

Dear, honey

We have ten taels

Look, we've got food

You can't eat the buns

Nonsense

You saw him eating it

But we can't eat it

Because the Five Poisons Kid isn't after him

How come he won't be poisoned?

There's antidote in the soup

He drank the soup beforehand

How do you know it's poisoned?

I know the man has left

The house is empty

Steamed buns

Steamed buns

Fresh and hot

Steamed buns

Behave children

Come here and eat your noodles. Be quiet

I'll give you five taels

I'll take the buns

That ...

Since the children want to eat the buns

I'll swap the buns with noodles

That won't be fair to you

Never mind

Say thank you

Thank you!

Let's go eat the buns, open up

I think I can have these noodles now

If the Five Poisons Kid could predict that

the kids don't want to eat the noodles

and that I'd swap with them

And he's poisoned the noodles

Then I have nothing to say even I'll die

Go on

Let's eat

I know what you're trying to do

You want us to starve

So that you can escape easily

You can't eat that, Master Tian

This place is deserted

There's not another house around here

You know, if I'd want to poison someone

... I'd rather do it here

Go take a look inside

I think the whole family is gone

It's really empty

Finally we're almost there

I don't understand you. Why do you insist...

on bringing my master to Shaolin temple?

We invited Master Li

... because there've been thefts

of martial arts scriptures in Shaolin Temple

What's that got to do with the Plum Blossom Bandit?

When the scripture thief

... killed our people,

He left a mark of the Plum Blossom Bandit

You think my master is the Plum Blossom Bandit?

No, but I do suspect someone

I haven't said anything for I've got no proof

If anything happens to me...

please tell my fellow Shaolin disciples

The name of the suspect is written

...on the last page of my journal

The last page of yourjournal

Throw it away, don't touch it

A poisonous toad... Run !

Chuanjia

Master, I think I've been poisoned

You must be working for the Five Poisons Kid

That's right

Chuanjia

I know I'm dying

Take care of yourself

Chuanjia...

Look

Poor snake

It's a shame ...

Are you the Five Poisons Kid?

That's right

I've been expecting you...

for I promised someone I'll kill you

Master, be careful

Five poisonous cold needles

You know quite a lot

Don't worry about me, just run!

The Legendary Master Li and your daggers

Master Li, I'm delighted to meet you

Thank you

Master, I'm just an ordinary man

I'm lucky to meet you today

It's a pleasure

There's no need to be so modest

Thank you for escorting Master Xinmei here

I appreciate it very much

You're very welcome

Master

How do you know he didn't hurt Master Xinmei?

Shut up

Don't you know that Master Xinmei...

has been poisoned by Five Poisons Needles?

Anyone could have poisoned him

You are right

Do you think that ...

I've hurt Master Xinmei?

Only you could answer that

No, someone else can give you an answer

Who?

Master Xinmei himself

Why don't you ask him when he wakes up?

Time for dinner

Where do you think you're going?

What happened?

You killed Master Xinmei while we were eating

And you're pretending you didn't do it?

What?

Get him

Stop it

Master Li

What's going on?

Master Xinmei was killed

You're the murderer

You're wrong

About the scriptures thief, Master Xinmei said...

He has the name of the suspect

He's written the name on the last page

... of his journal

The last page has been torn off !

That's simple

I would tear out the last page...

and make up a story if I was the murderer

How would the thief know...

about Master Xinmei's journal?

You can get up now

Do you want your golden vest back ?

No, I'm here to see you

I always thought flowers are the most beautiful...

things on earth... but today I've seen a woman

... who is more beautiful than flowers

You think I'm pretty?

Have you been in love before?

No

You know nothing about me

I was in a coma for the past few days

This is the first time we've spoken

Don't ponder upon this

Don't move

What is it?

There's a poisonous spider on your neck

Thank you

It's so strange

A poisonous spider in such a beautiful environment

You can'tjudge a book by its cover

I've heard that poppy is a pretty flower too

You were holding the spiderjust now

If you got bitten, you could die

Hmm, I didn't think about that at all

Maybe I was in a hurry

There's only one kind of love...

which makes you disregard your own life

That's the love between a man and a woman

You'll understand more later

But I'll always remember that

You've saved my life today

And I'll remember you've been kind to me

So...

Have you heard anything about Master Li?

Why do you care about Li Xunuan so much?

Because he's my only friend

I heard that Master Xinmei was murdered

Shaolin Temple has kept Master Li in house arrest

... until they've found the Plum Blossom Bandit

Now that a second Bandit has surfaced...

It's proof enough that,

Li Xunuan is not the Plum Blossom Bandit

Would you know of anyone...

who is rich and nasty that I should kill ?

You are Shen Laosan ?

Do you know why I'm here?

Let go

From Shaolin ?

Stop it, master

Why do you want to catch him ?

He's the accomplice of the Plum Blossom Bandit

Of course we can catch him

My friend is innocent

I hope you'll let him go

If he's the Plum Blossom Bandit

Then you're his accomplice; just as guilty

Zhao Zhengyi, you've gone too far

What if I have?

You must be fair

For your namesake

You can't bully someone like this

Master Zhao, no one else is here

No spies, only you

What do you want?

We want to nab the Plum Blossom Bandit

We want to find the scriptures stealer

What if they are two different persons?

If we can locate the scriptures

I promise you, Shaolin won't get involved

You must return the scriptures in three days

Three days? That's a long time

I only need an hour

Yuanfeng

Yes master

Search the rooms of Dongning Chambers

Yes master

Follow me

Why are you searching our rooms?

Because Master Xinmei told me

... you are the scriptures stealers

The Yijin Scripture which was stolen...

recently is still inside this temple

Master, we've found the scriptures

... in their rooms

They must have planted the stolen scriptures

Here's the Yijin Scripture

We've been framed for sure

How would you know that...

where we placed the scriptures?

Look, they are not the scripture stealers

Wouldn't find even if they try hard

I'd say, even if we planted the scriptures here

We couldn't have placed it in the secret compartment

Master Xinmei has told me that...

He suspects the scriptures stealer is an insider

One who has access to the library

And only the senior masters at Dongning Chambers

... are eligible; that's why I took a risk

If Mater Xinjian would've been a little more calm...

My plan wouldn't work

Don't move

Let me get hold of the Plum Blossom Bandit

Don't move

Master Zhao, if you want to take the credit

I'll pass him to your custody later

The martial world wouldn't have that many grudges

... if not for people like them

A bunch of hypocrites !

Let's go

Wait

I've promised Master Xinmei...

that I'd catch the scriptures stealers

A promise is a promise

C'mon, let's see how you actually catch me

Don't move

Come on

Who's the Plum Blossom Bandit? Who told you to steal?

What did he say?

He said it's me

What are you trying to do?

To seize the Plum Blossom Bandit

You are too rash

I'll kill you if you move again

You ...

Ever thought the Bandit perhaps mightn't be a man ?

Not a man? Then what?

A woman of course

A woman?

Right... since the beginning

The Plum Blossom Bandit has been trying to set you up

And these people who are against us

... are all male, martial arts experts

Only a very beautiful woman...

Could make this happen

And there's only one woman who knows that...

I was going to kill Shen Laosan

I heard the news from Shaolin Temple

I knew you'd come here to look for me

You've been trying to kill Master Li... why?

He killed my father

Who might he be ?

My father worked for the Plum Blossom Bandit

You killed him ten years ago by Tai Lake

That's why you try to set him up

There was a monk called...

Xinjian who contacted me

He said that the Plum Blossom Bandit is still alive

I could have my revenge. We set up a trap

... for you

We used the martial arts experts...

as pawns. They all lust after beauty

Then the deaths of Zhao Zhengyi's son

... and Mr. Iron Flute's brother

We were hoping that they'd get rid of you

So you knew who's the Plum Blossom Bandit all along?

No. Didn't have a clue

I've only contacted Monk Xinjian

Now it doesn't matter who's the Plum Blossom Bandit

Because I must kill you

I'd advise you not to

Because even if you practise for another 10 years

You're not Master Li's match

That's my problem

Miss Lin, have you ever thought that...

I did everyone a favor by killing your father?

He's my father after all

Miss Lin, I owe you a favor

I don't wish to see you die here

You better leave

Mr. Iron Flute, you heard her

She's the one who killed your brother

What are you doing?

Avenging my brother

I didn't kill him

The real Plum Blossom Bandit did

Who'd believe you?

Come on then

You all spread out

Mr. Iron Flute, this is a duel

C'mon, move

Wait

Mr. Iron Flute, Zhao Zhengyi, if you want your revenge,

you should find the real killer

Where is the real killer?

I know

Shiyin

Cousin, I think you know who's the real

... Plum Blossom Bandit

Tell them

I will if you don't

Shiyin

-Shiyin... -Miss Lin

Shiyin

Cousin, you ...

You should know

You ... it's been ten years ...

Shiyin

Wait

Don't go

I know where he is

I'll take care of it

I've been expecting you

Why did you kill Shiyin?

That's because...

I must kill all those who know my secret

That includes you

This duel should have...

taken place ten years ago at Tai Lake

Nevertheless it's happening today

So you're the real Plum Blossom Bandit?

Yes, you tried to catch me ten years ago

I knew I was no match for you then

That's why I set a trap

And pretended to save your life

Then I've been living in Xingyin Manor

I sent Xinjian to steal the scriptures from Shaolin

And I've been practising all these years

So even if you attempt to take my life today...

It won't be as easy as ten years back

So you've never loved Shiyin !

No

And frankly speaking, I didn't save your life then

Ten years ago...

At the time when you thought I saved you;

It was in fact the beginning of a revenge.

Only that I used sentiments rather than weapons

However, when it comes to using sentiments...

You've got to be like me... heartless !

Otherwise I'd be like you

Your whole life's been controlled by sentiments

You were living in regrets and pain

Before Xinjian died, he told me that...

you're the Plum Blossom Bandit. I didn't

... blow your cover for I still had faith in you

That's your main weakness

You believe in sentiments among people

You easily gave up the woman you love...

and your property and wealth

Of course, the world might say you're sentimental

But you're just a silly fool

Let me tell you once again

You can't be a sentimental swordsman

And the sword you wield...

ought to be a merciless one

Are you done with your tale, Long Xiaoyun?

I said that before

It's a simple story...

about revenge of the Plum Blossom Bandit

Now it's my turn to tell my story

I want to know how you dodged my daggers

Little Li's Legendary Dagger, Never a miss!

You never expected me to use this magnet

The last 10 years I managed to find a lot about you

You never carry more than 12 daggers

There's a sword at the back

To kill an unarmed man

It's something very novel to me

I wanted to use Lin Xianer's eagerness for revenge

And I also wanted to exploit the hypocrites

... as my pawns

But I'd never have thought that...

I have to kill you personally

I've told you before, I must kill you

Because you're sentimental, and I'm ruthless

Another sentimental man

Don't move

Maybe you didn't think I've the Gold Threaded Vest

Hold it !

If you step one inch further

I swear that this broken sword

... will be pierced through your throat

The magnet is too far away

Even with the broken sword...

I still have time to kill him

Although you could avoid...

all the man-made weapons

But you can't escape

... from the ice made by the gods !
