[A Forbidden Marriage]

[Episode 16]

[Ximo Hall]

Everyone, open your books— Chapter 1, Page 3.

Since you've joined Yunmen,

you must follow Yunmen's rules.

I don't care who you were before.

Although a nobody like Lu Xuanxuan

isn't worth my attention,

Yang Qing actually gave me a cold shoulder and walked away with her.

Could it be he likes her?

Lu Xuanxuan is such low-class.

So infuriating.

Wangyue.

Did you review the sect rules from yesterday?

What's the point of learning

those trite rules?

I'm not wasting my time on that.

Jiang Yu,

what did you say?

Elder Shen,

I didn't say anything.

Here in Yunmen,

indulgence in gluttony is forbidden.

So is idle gossip,

stirring trouble, or sowing discord.

No flamboyant dressing.

All must wear the standard Yunmen training uniform.

Speech must be proper, conduct dignified.

And no rolling up sleeves to bare arms.

I'm talking about you, Yang Wangyue.

Rolling up your sleeves and exposing half your arms—

how inappropriate.

Elder Shen,

what you said isn't right.

We wear clothes for comfort and style.

I've always wondered

why Yunmen's clothes must always be white.

Is wearing white clothes

the only way to show a kind heart?

Why can't we dress beautifully?

That's what true vitality looks like.

Besides,

we were born with mouths.

It's our nature to use them.

Why suppress our very nature?

A martial artist

must not indulge in gluttony.

Elder Shen,

don't you like stir-fried pork intestines?

Don't you like chilled cheese?

Or... don't you want a bowl of bamboo shoots stewed with quail?

Ridiculous!

I'm not being ridiculous, Elder Shen.

I'll tell you seriously:

the tender bamboo shoots in the back mountain are thriving.

They're

fresh, crisp, and delicious.

I was even planning to pick some tonight

and bring them back for you to taste.

Senior Yang,

I... I want some too.

Junior Yang,

may I also have a bowl?

I think Junior Yang makes a good point.

Elder Shen,

if we martial artists

can't eat enough,

how will we have strength to train?

Whoever does not wish to join Yunmen

is free to leave immediately.

Yang Wangyue,

it was you who incited Yunmen's disciples

to defy the elder, right?

Elder Shen,

for defying the sect rules,

what punishment should be given?

According to our rules,

she'll face 30 strokes of the cane and 3 days without food.

Thirty strokes?

And 3 days without food?

That's too much.

I'm just a new disciple.

Why so many rules?

In Shengyue Sect,

we just fight it out.

Winner takes all.

The strong rise to the top.

The weak can't blame the strong.

What's the use of so many rules to scare people?

Yang Wangyue, what did you say?

How do you know so much about Shengyue Sect's rules?

Yang Qing...

Elder Yang told me.

Elder Shen.

Elder Yang, you've come just in time.

Was it really you who told Yang Wangyue

about the rules of Shengyue Sect?

Elder Shen, why be so suspicious?

It's Shengyue Sect we're talking about.

Do I need

to report to you the mission

the Sect Leader sent me on 5 years ago?

No need for that.

Elder Yang, you surely have your reasons.

I won't ask further.

Yang Wangyue has defied our sect rules.

Bring the cane.

Why trouble yourself with this, Elder Shen?

These new disciples—

leave them to me.

Yang Qing,

instead of teaching Lu Xuanxuan swordplay,

you came to rescue me again.

I knew it. You still care about me.

Call me Mr. Yang.

Since you've joined Yunmen, please conduct yourself properly.

Besides,

who said I came to rescue you?

Copy the sect rules 10 times.

I'll check them myself in 3 days.

Really, Yang Qing?

You're serious?

Not a single word can be missed.

Qing.

One more word and I'll add another copy.

Mr. Yang.

I'll check them myself in 3 days.

Fine.

Copying books to ward off disaster.

At least it spared me Elder Shen's cane.

Yang Qing can't bear to punish me after all.

Yang Wangyue!

Yang Wangyue, you're late.

As punishment, run 10 laps around the training ground.

Me?

You.

Didn't you ask me to fetch the sect rules?

Eleven laps.

Yang Qing, don't go too far.

Twelve laps.

Fine, I'll run!

Who said you could rest?

I've finished 12 laps.

Physical strength is the foundation of practicing martial arts.

Horse stance is the basic skill.

You just finished stamina training.

Go do horse stance now.

I still have to do horse stance?

Everyone else is practicing swordplay!

Why do I still have to do horse stance?

Because your foundation is weak.

I have extraordinary talent!

Very well.

Then go practice on the plum blossom poles.

You...

You chose to join Yunmen yourself,

so you must work harder than others

if you want to stay.

Now get going!

Bend.

Bend.

Senior Yang is really pitiful.

It's bad enough that she somehow offended Elder Shen.

But even Elder Yang,

the one said to have the best temper in Yunmen,

treats her so harshly.

Junior Yang is indeed special in our sect.

Why are you staring at me?

What I meant is the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

Lower.

Higher.

[Yunmen]

Don't grab. There's plenty for everyone.

Qing.

Here, take it.

I want this one. I wan this one.

You want this one? Here.

Give me one. I want this.

Alright, this one's for you.

Here.

Which one do you want? This one?

Yang Qing knows how to look after children?

Here, one for each of you.

These are all orphans taken in by Yunmen.

This one?

They'll also become Yunmen's disciples in the future.

Mr. Yang really is capable.

If it were me dealing with such a bunch

of mischievous kids,

I'd probably go crazy.

Catch.

Go pick it up.

Why does he keep rubbing his forehead?

Does he have a headache?

I don't think so.

Pass me the ball.

Let me see who to pass to.

I want it too.

Catch.

I see.

He must be sensitive to noise.

Don't let it get in your eyes.

Yang Qing must have had a happy childhood.

What makes you say that?

Catch.

Only someone who grew up surrounded by love

would know how to care for others.

I grew up in hardship and adversity.

If I were to look after them,

I'd probably scare them to tears.

But Mr. Yang was also an orphan.

He was quite pitiful actually.

The elders said he was abandoned.

When they found him, he was nearly starved to death.

After they brought him back to Yunmen,

he wouldn't speak for a long time.

Later,

under the care of the elders and the Sect Leader,

he slowly opened up to others.

So he suffered just like me.

Don't let Mr. Yang know

that I told you all this.

Yang Qing.

Yang Qing.

Junior Yang.

You came at the right time.

Help me look after them for a while.

I don't know how to do this.

If you leave them to me,

I'd only make them cry.

As a disciple of Yunmen,

you want to disobey your elder?

Who's my el...

Got it, Mr. Yang.

I'm going out for a while.

Take good care of them.

Yang Qing,

that munchkin you asked me to look after—

I managed to soothe him.

He even called me "Sister".

Are you still mad at me?

I really didn't know you were put in confinement

because you wanted to marry me.

If I had known,

I would never have come to Yunmen to be a disciple.

Yang Qing,

I was an orphan taken in by Shengyue Sect.

Shengyue Sect isn't as peaceful as Yunmen.

Wherever there are people,

there are schemes and deceit.

No one ever tells the truth.

You're angry because I didn't tell you.

But I didn't mean to hide it from you.

It's just my habit.

You came today

just to tell me that?

Not really.

I just found out today

that you also suffered a lot in your childhood.

I came to tell you

that from now on, you have me.

I'll treat you better.

You won't suffer anymore.

Are you finished?

If you're done,

you can leave now.

After everything I just said,

aren't you moved at all?

Forgive my poor judgment.

I can't tell

when you're sincere

and when you're just pretending.

Of course I'm sincere.

Yang Qing,

you've been ignoring me all this time

just because

I became a disciple of Yunmen. Right?

You're a man. Why are you so petty?

Don't be angry, okay?

Yang Qing, I was wrong.

Were you just studying

Shengyue Sect's Six Harmonies Convergence?

If you want to know about it,

I can help you.

Six Harmonies Convergence?

These past few days,

everyone has made progress.

Especially Jiang Yu—you've done well.

But your strikes still lack inner strength.

You need to practice harder.

Su Ming, your Cloud Ladder Step has improved,

but your sword techniques are still a bit weak.

Mr. Yang, what about me?

You?

You still have the nerve to ask?

Keep working harder.

Alright. Everyone, spread out.

Begin today's training.

-Yes! -Yes!

One!

Two!

[Yunxiao Hall]

Come in.

Yang Qing,

I made this bamboo shoots stewed with quail for you myself.

Try it.

Get out.

Mr. Yang,

I worked so hard on this—

I went to the back mountain to pick the tenderest shoots for you.

Look,

I even hurt my hands.

My meals

are always handled by the disciples in the kitchen.

You don't need to worry about that.

But I wanted to make it for you myself.

Usually,

only male disciples can enter my room.

Miss Yang, please observe proper boundaries

and avoid causing any misunderstandings,

lest it damages propriety.

Propriety?

I don't care about propriety.

If I care about propriety,

would I have come to Yunmen with you?

If I care about propriety,

would I have kept approaching you despite your cold shoulder?

Besides,

am I just some random person?

Am I just any other female disciple?

Why can't I enter your room?

Yang Qing, do you even have a conscience?

I did all this for you.

If I'd known you'd be this angry,

I wouldn't have gone to such lengths

just to be closer to you.

To join Yunmen,

I nearly lost my life.

To get bamboo shoots for you,

I almost fell off a cliff.

To cook a meal for you,

I snuck into the kitchen,

always on edge, worried every moment.

But what did I get in return?

You don't even know that I never eat bamboo shoots.

Is this what you call caring about me

and loving me?

I... well...

Everyone else loves bamboo...

I'm not everyone else! I'm me!

Junior Yang,

if you truly cared,

you wouldn't have made this soup for me.

And you wouldn't have joined Yunmen

when I was on hunger strike for you!

Get out!

Leave.

Eat it or not.

Junior Yang, so you're here.

He gave this to you.

He wouldn't let me tell you,

but you know, it's from Mr. Yang.

I'm leaving.

Yang Qing,

I knew it. You were just talking tough.

You still care about me deep down.

Then I'll...

visit you to thank you for this.

You... You're awake.

I wanted to sneak in and give you a surprise,

but you caught me.

You call that ruckus sneaking?

Um...

I've received the candies you gave me,

and the ointment too.

Who said I gave you candies?

Get out.

I'm sick

of hearing "get out".

Can't you come up with something new?

Mr. Yang,

these past few days...

have you been thinking about me?

Get out.

Get out!

How disrespectful!

I am being disrespectful.

It's not like you haven't dealt with this before.

So...

how are you going to punish me?

If you don't leave now,

I'll throw you out.

Don't.

I just finished training.

I haven't even had dinner yet.

I'm starving.

If you throw me out now,

I'll definitely faint.

If I faint,

the Sect Leader and the elders might notice.

That...

wouldn't look too good, right?

So you are hungry

and want something to eat.

That's why you thought of my kindness.

Please,

take pity on me for training so hard these days.

Just cook something for me.

It's been so long since I ate your cooking.

You want something delicious?

I want to eat your cooking.

Then move aside.

Mr. Yang, thank you for cooking something delicious for me.

Why is it so hard to coax a man?

If only Lingyin were here.

That damn Yuan Yingxing took her away.

I wonder how they're doing now.

Stop!

Who are you people?

How dare you trespass on our grounds!

Take a good look

at who I am.

I don't care who you are.

Anyone entering our sect must have an invitation!

Your sect?

This is Mount Yin!

Mount Yin has always belonged to Shengyue Sect!

Yingxing,

don't be rash.

We should think this through.

The affairs of Shengyue Sect

are not yours to meddle in.

We've been trying to reason with you,

but you insist on forcing your way in!

Then don't blame us for being rude!

I'd like to see how rude you can be.

Yingxing!

Don't use your inner strength to force the poison out.

Or it will spread to your vital organs.

I have the antidote. Let's retreat first.

Let's go.

Fortunately, you weren't poisoned.

Petty tricks with weeds and insects— you think they can harm me?

Yingxing,

you need to stop being so impulsive.

They occupy the high ground.

You should know better than I do

about Mount Yin's defensive advantages.

If we confront them directly now,

we might not win.

Stay out of my affairs.

There's only one thing I want to know.

You've been around us,

and you gathered information in advance.

What exactly are you up to?

Don't tell me you're just being kind-hearted.

Why don't we make a deal?

No more pretense?

If you keep acting like this,

how can we negotiate?

Let's negotiate properly.

Go ahead.

If you can please me,

perhaps

I'll consider granting your request.

I'll help you reclaim Mount Yin,

reconcile you with Yunmen,

and restore Shengyue Sect to its former glory,

so that Wangyue and Yang Qing can be together openly and honorably.

As long as you agree

to lend me the Shengyue Token once it's done.

Why do you want the Shengyue Token

of our sect?

And how do I know

you won't turn against us again?

Shengyue Sect is already in such ruins.

If I want to destroy it, why bother with such tricks?

I have no interest in wasting my time.

Could it be you still have feelings for me?

Think whatever you like.

Consider my offer. Then tell me

if you'll

accept the deal or not.

Chief, what makes you so happy?

Nothing.

By the way,

I happen to need something from you.

What is it, Chief?

Write a letter to Yue.

Tell her to return to Shengyue Sect immediately.

Chief,

didn't you already agree to let her be with Yang Qing?

Why summon her back so suddenly?

Besides, you already have Yao Fu by your side now.

Why do you...

You think I'm like you,

playing both sides?

Then Yao Fu...

She's still a bit useful to me,

so I reluctantly granted her wish.

Granted her wish?

More like granting your own wish.

What are you mumbling about?

Nothing, Chief.

I just think

they finally managed to be together.

That old fox Feng Xingyun

will never agree to their marriage.

Yue is just wasting her time.

Perhaps Yang Qing can persuade those elders.

If Yunmen sincerely accepts Yue

and truly wants a reconciliation with Shengyue Sect,

I won't make a big deal about it.

But if Yunmen dares to harm Yue in the slightest,

I will make them pay a terrible price.

You write the letter.

Just say

I heard Yue hasn't been doing well

in Yunmen.

Ask her to return to Shengyue Sect immediately.

We have prepared fine wine and food,

just waiting for her return.

Yue hasn't been doing well?

Chief, you have informants in Yunmen?

If I say she's not doing well, she's not doing well.

Then that's just making things up.

Chief... you're right.

You're absolutely right.

Well, if there's nothing else, Chief,

I'll take my leave.

Go write that letter now.

Where could the Sun Blade be?

Now that Yang Qing is ignoring me,

I can't get to it through him.

Wangyue!

What are you doing here?

I heard there's a new cook in the kitchen.

He makes amazing scallion rolls.

Let's go try them together.

Everyone is afraid of me.

They avoid me and won't play with me.

Aren't you afraid of me?

What's there to be afraid of?

Whether we can stay in Yunmen

depends on the exam a month from now.

I like you

and want to spend time with you.

I don't care what others say.

You... You like me?

Yes.

You're so pretty, and you have a great personality.

Who wouldn't like you?

During Yunmen's entrance trial, you were the calmest of all.

I really admire you.

You're exactly the kind of person I want to become.

Gosh, I'm flattered.

Jiang Yu.

I heard

you're from a martial family?

That was all in the past.

My family has already fallen.

I came to Yunmen to learn martial arts well

in a bid to revive my family.

So,

you're indeed from a martial family.

You must have heard of the Alliance Leader's Token, right?

I heard it is incredibly powerful

and can summon all the heroes in the martial world.

But I wonder

if I'll ever get to see it in this life.

If the token appears, the martial world will be in chaos.

My father said

he would rather never see the token

than see it reappear in the martial world.

When it reappears,

it's bound to cause tremendous upheaval.

Seems you know quite a lot.

Any century-old family in the martial world

knows that ever since Yunmen got the Alliance Leader's Token,

it's been locked away in the Langhuan Pavilion.

Though it's so close at hand,

no one has ever wanted to see it.

Let's go have breakfast.

Okay.

You want to write a letter to sow discord between Yang Qing and Wangyue?

What?

Already feeling sorry for your Senior Yang?

You know Yang Qing and I have never had feelings for each other.

And Yunmen isn't as united as it seems.

He and I do not walk the same path.

Why are you telling me all this now?

Are you pledging your loyalty to me?

I just want to tell you

you should know

what your top priority is right now.

Is it reviving your sect

or driving a wedge between Yang Qing and Wangyue?

I've been working so hard to revive my sect

because you deceived me, you idiot!

Forget it.

What's the use of talking about this now?

From what I know about Yang Qing,

he might get angry.

But he'll soon realize

it's nothing but your words of discord.

That's not good for your reconciliation with Yunmen in the future.

Ruining your relationship with Yang Qing won't do you any good.

You righteous sects' people are so funny.

You can just say you're worried about me.

Think what you like.

I'm just being kind.

Kind?

I've never seen you being so kind to anyone else.

Jiang Yan is really adorable.

These words he wrote

amuse me greatly.

Mingyang,

before I lose my temper,

give it back to me!

Tell me,

if I tell Chief you're still emotionally entangled

with Yunmen's disciple Jiang Yan,

what would he do?

What do you mean by "emotionally entangled"?

I wasn't planning to reply anyway.

I'm peerless in grace and beauty.

I have many admirers and followers.

So what if I receive a few love letters?

Besides,

this isn't the first time.

Haven't you gotten used to it yet?

If you don't like him,

why did you flirt with him

and give him hope?

You're so fickle.

Can't men and women just be friends?

Besides,

do I have to like him

just because he likes me?

You're not worthy.

Mingyang, you're asking for death!

Stop!

Chief.

Chief.

What's going on?

Chief, it's nothing.

Chief, it's nothing.

We were just...

chatting.

Now is not the time for skylarking.

After we return to Mount Yin,

you can do whatever you want.

Do you think Miss Lin still hasn't received my letter?

That can't be.

Even if it was intercepted,

there must be some sign from the carrier pigeon.

She must have received it.

What are you muttering about so early in the morning?

You can't learn from Mr. Yang.

Once a man falls in love,

his brain stops working.

Shang Huai,

let me ask you something.

If a girl

seems quite interested in you,

but whenever you take the initiative,

she gives you no response,

what do you think she means?

Does she actually like you

or not?

Don't look at me.

I'm not talking about me.

I'm talking about a friend of mine.

You just want to ask about you and Miss Lin, right?

I can give you a clear answer right now.

She's just playing with you.

She never liked you from the beginning.

I told you I'm not talking about me.

I'm talking about a friend of mine.

Jiang Yan,

aside from me,

what other friends do you have?

Listen to me,

don't get too involved with them.

It's already vexing enough

that Yang Wangyue has charmed Mr. Yang

completely.

And now you're getting entangled with Miss Lin too?

Stop overthinking.

Lately, the Langhuan Pavilion has been anything but peaceful.

We all need to stay alert.

Let me see

what's on your mind.

Drink this,

and you'll surely tell the truth.

You're here.

Gods bear witness:

today, I, Mingyang, vow to take Lingyin as my wife.

From today on, in sickness or in health, in life or in death,

I will never leave or abandon her.

If I break this vow, may the heavens strike me down.

What took you so long?

Where's your... your bridal veil?

Bridal veil?

Here.

Ming...

It's so dirty.

Mingyang.

You want to marry me?

Anyway, I know

you like me.

I...

Right?

I like you too.

I know you don't like

practicing martial arts.

So...

So I must practice even harder.

Then I can protect you

and keep others from bullying you.

Otherwise...

Otherwise, if you only rely on your bottles and jars of drugs,

that wouldn't be enough.

Do you...

Do you really mean all that?

Oh no.

This time, I've gone too far.

Forget it. I'd better leave.

I... This...

Really?

Does Mingyang... really like me?

That's normal.

I'm dazzlingly beautiful,

charming, and elegant.

Who could possibly resist

my irresistible charm?

He's hidden his feelings pretty well.

Then when did we...

become like this?

You accidentally entered Mount Yin, got hurt, and were saved by Lingyin.

You may fool Lingyin, but you can't fool me.

Su Mu,

I think you staged this whole thing.

You're trying to infiltrate our sect with ill intentions.

I don't care which sect you're from.

I won't let you leave today!

So what if you're right?

You think Lingyin would believe you?

You evil people threaten the martial world.

Anybody has the right to kill you.

I'm enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven.

Lingyin thinks she's charming.

But I think

she's just a country bumpkin.

Looks like I'll have to beat you to a pulp today!

Mingyang, stop!

You actually asked me to stop?

Lingyin, stay back!

This is between him and me.

To win you fair and square,

I must defeat him!

Mingyang, let him go.

I promise...

I promise from now on, I'll never have anything to do with him.

No, Lingyin!

I will come back for you!

I'll ask Master to go to Yuan Yingxing and propose marriage.

You must believe me!

He's a spy!

He flirted with you to infiltrate and sabotage our sect!

You don't believe me?

I trust my own eyes more.

He didn't.

He's not a spy!

If you don't leave now,

you won't be able to leave once Chief Yuan returns.

Mingyang.

I'm begging you.

You're actually begging me for his sake?

Fine.

Now I see you for what you are.

What?

When did Mingyang learn to say one thing

and do another?

He promised to let him go,

yet he still killed him.

Fine.

Mingyang, now I see you for what you are.

That man was named Su...

Su...

I can't remember.

Looks like

I didn't like him that much after all.

So why was I that angry back then?

Strange.

My Yue isn't here.

I can't ask her.

No one is here to chat with me.

I'm about to go crazy being all alone.

Chief.

Why are you here?

Yes, yes. It's time to eat.

The food...

What happened?

Someone poisoned the wine?

Don't you think it's too late to be aware of that now?

If Lingyin wanted to kill you,

you'd have died 10 times over already.

Why bring up that annoying woman again?

I saw you kneeling just now,

swearing and proposing to her.

What?

I...

She poisoned the wine, didn't she?

That wretched woman!

I'm going to settle the score with her!

Remember this—

don't delay the revival of the sect!

She actually left a letter from Shengyue Sect

just lying around like that.

Wangyue is careless.

Yuan Yingxing is just as careless as her.

They're so bold.

Yue,

how have you been?

Since I knew you've infiltrated Yunmen,

I've been so worried.

I heard you've suffered humiliation from Yang Qing.

It truly breaks my heart.

Yang Qing is two-faced.

He can't be trusted.

You're risking your life for our sect.

Shengyue Sect will never let you down.

There's one thing

you must keep firmly in mind.

Whatever you do in Yunmen,

you must proceed with utmost caution.

No wonder Wangyue would rather call me Mr. Yang

just to become a disciple of Yunmen.

So she still wants to steal the Sun Blade

to save those imprisoned in Biluo Valley.
