He said he's too busy to care for you.

39
00:02:34,465 --> 00:02:36,946
And that he disowns you as his brother.

00:18:28,825 --> 00:18:31,545
All factions in Jin City avoid us now.

183
00:18:31,545 --> 00:18:35,666
Even our young sect members
have joined Tang Song.

184
00:18:35,666 --> 00:18:36,946
What options does Yiren have?

185
00:18:37,785 --> 00:18:42,785
Xueyu marrying into the Nangong family
at least offers some protection.

186
00:18:47,265 --> 00:18:48,464
Protection?

187
00:18:50,265 --> 00:18:55,906
Kaiyan, Yiren, Tang Song's influence
is already waning.

188
00:18:56,906 --> 00:19:00,368
You needn't worry
about the Tang Sect anymore.

189
00:19:00,368 --> 00:19:03,386
- The Tang Sect?
- How did you know this?

190
00:19:04,585 --> 00:19:06,186
The Tang Sect has always opposed us.

191
00:19:07,065 --> 00:19:11,666
What? Do you have
shady dealings with them now?

192
00:19:12,426 --> 00:19:16,944
I went to the Tang Sect to eliminate
those who colluded with the Power Gang

193
00:19:17,904 --> 00:19:19,760
and undermined Jin City's factions.

194
00:19:21,065 --> 00:19:24,105
My actions were honorable.
I've done nothing else.

195
00:19:25,426 --> 00:19:28,466
Yiren, can't you be honest too?

196
00:19:29,466 --> 00:19:31,305
Answer my question.

197
00:19:31,305 --> 00:19:34,226
You meddled in Tang Sect affairs
for outsiders.

198
00:19:34,226 --> 00:19:37,345
Should I praise you for this?

199
00:19:37,345 --> 00:19:40,186
I only fear you're bringing
more trouble to our family.

200
00:19:40,986 --> 00:19:45,065
What right do you have to comment
on our family matters now?

201
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:49,226
I don't. I truly don't.

202
00:19:50,386 --> 00:19:51,866
Yiren, Qiushui.

203
00:19:56,305 --> 00:19:57,552
Xueyu.

204
00:19:58,906 --> 00:20:03,025
Qiushui, I'm glad you came today.

205
00:20:12,906 --> 00:20:18,745
Just say 'no,' and nobody
can take you away.

206
00:20:22,265 --> 00:20:24,545
For our family, I'm willing.

207
00:20:36,946 --> 00:20:39,706
Xueyu, this isn't right.

208
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:44,626
The Nangong family is prestigious.

209
00:20:45,265 --> 00:20:48,505
In these turbulent times,
who wouldn't want secure shelter?

210
00:20:49,866 --> 00:20:54,785
This marriage benefits
both our family and me.

211
00:20:55,866 --> 00:21:00,065
Our parents would rest easy
knowing this.

212
00:21:03,186 --> 00:21:04,386
So stop arguing.

213
00:21:36,146 --> 00:21:37,232

He must be an upright hero

He'll be skilled in martial arts
and decisive in actions.

221

But moral character matters most.

222
00:22:11,785 --> 00:22:14,025

Qiushui.

232
00:23:00,585 --> 00:23:01,712
Are you alright?

233
00:23:08,226 --> 00:23:14,906
Kaiyan, Xueyu never wanted to marry
into the Nangong family, did she?

234
00:23:18,706 --> 00:23:22,345
But didn't she agree to it herself?

Xueyu never truly consented
to this marriage.

238
00:23:43,025 --> 00:23:45,626
Hasn't Xiao Xueyu
always been this kind of person?

239
00:23:46,986 --> 00:23:53,186
She's too considerate,
always neglecting her own needs.

240
00:23:55,706 --> 00:23:59,305
But Kaiyan,
you knew she'd react this way.

241
00:24:00,065 --> 00:24:01,706
Why didn't you stop Yiren?

242
00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:03,545
I did try to stop him.

243
00:24:04,426 --> 00:24:05,906
When our parents were alive,

244
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:11,866
they loved her as their own daughter.

245
00:24:12,706 --> 00:24:14,745
Now that they're gone,

246
00:24:16,986 --> 00:24:19,305
Xueyu's being forced into marriage.

247
00:24:21,906 --> 00:24:24,626

holds our family's sword manual.

248
00:24:24,626 --> 00:24:29,505
If Xueyu refuses this marriage,
they'll never return it.

249
00:24:30,866 --> 00:24:32,386
Yiren had no other choice.

250
00:24:33,105 --> 00:24:35,305
He couldn't let

I won't burden our family anymore
now that I've left.

00:25:52,825 --> 00:25:54,000
Set your mind at ease, Yiren.

00:27:25,386 --> 00:27:28,545
And I am consummating our marriage.

281
00:27:28,545 --> 00:27:30,505
Here, let's drink the nuptial wine.

282
00:27:30,505 --> 00:27:32,105
Get away from me!

283
00:27:32,105 --> 00:27:35,265
My marriage contract
was with Nangong Wushang.

284
00:27:35,265 --> 00:27:36,585
Who do you think you are?

285
00:27:36,585 --> 00:27:37,785
Stop playing the fool!

286
00:27:38,585 --> 00:27:40,825
Listen well, Xiao Xueyu.

287
00:27:40,825 --> 00:27:42,186
I know you're tricky,

288
00:27:42,186 --> 00:27:43,706
so I lit knockout incense beforehand.

289
00:27:44,345 --> 00:27:48,265
Xiao Yiren signed the contract
when he came to discuss the marriage.

290
00:27:48,946 --> 00:27:53,946
(Contract)
The groom's always been me, Nangong Han.

291
00:27:53,946 --> 00:27:55,226
Yiren would never do this.

292
00:27:55,986 --> 00:27:57,466
You deceived him.

293
00:27:58,866 --> 00:28:00,505
Though our family has declined,

294
00:28:01,226 --> 00:28:04,745
we're old allies of the Nangongs.

295
00:28:05,706 --> 00:28:06,825
How could you stoop so low?

296
00:28:07,906 --> 00:28:10,946
(Marriage of Nangong Han and Xiao Xueyu)
Xueyu, take a closer look.

297
00:28:10,946 --> 00:28:12,626
(Signed by Xiao Yiren)
It's his handwriting and seal.

298
00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:15,466
He signed this personally.

299
00:28:15,466 --> 00:28:16,666
Surely you recognize it, huh?

300
00:28:19,186 --> 00:28:20,706
Good that you understand now.

301
00:28:20,706 --> 00:28:22,864
(Contract)
Stop playing the chaste woman.

302
00:28:24,186 --> 00:28:27,265
Look at your family's current state.

303
00:28:27,265 --> 00:28:30,288
Your brother Xiao Yiren
doesn't even have the family sword.

304
00:28:30,288 --> 00:28:33,305
My taking you as wife
elevates your status.

305
00:28:34,825 --> 00:28:38,480
I'd rather die than submit to you.

306
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,305
Really? Let me see.

307
00:28:59,386 --> 00:29:00,666
Xueyu, let's go.

308
00:29:01,386 --> 00:29:04,146
No one can force you into anything.

309
00:29:06,706 --> 00:29:07,866
Remember,

310
00:29:07,866 --> 00:29:10,745
I, Xiao Xueyu,
have no ties to you at all.

311
00:29:14,025 --> 00:29:15,025
Changge Sword?

312
00:29:16,466 --> 00:29:20,825
From this day forth,
if the Nangongs dare harm my family,

313
00:29:21,906 --> 00:29:23,545
my blade will show no mercy.

314
00:29:44,706 --> 00:29:45,744
Let's go.

315
00:29:51,745 --> 00:29:53,545
Xiao Qiushui!

316
00:29:54,576 --> 00:29:57,200
(Liang Residence)

317
00:30:14,986 --> 00:30:17,305
Xueyu, rest assured. This place is safe.

318
00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:19,706
The Nangongs won't cause trouble here.

319
00:30:20,466 --> 00:30:23,946
I'll confront Yiren about this.

320
00:30:28,265 --> 00:30:29,906
I accepted the arrangement myself.

321
00:30:30,986 --> 00:30:32,585
I wanted to repay our parents' love

322
00:30:33,785 --> 00:30:36,745
and to do my best to revive our family.

323
00:30:38,146 --> 00:30:41,265
But I never imagined
our years of sibling bond

324
00:30:42,585 --> 00:30:46,825
would end with Yiren
distrusting me in the end.

325
00:30:49,265 --> 00:30:50,785
This whole matter is absurd.

326
00:30:52,025 --> 00:30:57,626
Xueyu, you shouldn't
use your entire life as leverage.

327
00:30:57,626 --> 00:30:59,545
Nor risk your own safety recklessly.

328
00:30:59,545 --> 00:31:01,426
But what's even more absurd
is Yiren's side.

329
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:03,105
Our parents lived with integrity.

330
00:31:03,946 --> 00:31:08,505
How could our family's reputation
be built by sacrificing its own members?

331
00:31:15,186 --> 00:31:20,386
On the way to Nangong's residence,
many old memories resurfaced.

332
00:31:23,025 --> 00:31:27,186
I remembered when our parents
first brought me home,

333
00:31:29,065 --> 00:31:32,666
how your first words
dissolved all my reservations

334
00:31:33,585 --> 00:31:35,785
and made me truly feel
like part of the Xiao family.

335
00:31:36,986 --> 00:31:41,706
Qiushui, when our whole family
was together back then,

336
00:31:42,946 --> 00:31:44,025
it was truly wonderful.

337
00:31:49,265 --> 00:31:52,265
Xueyu, between family,

338
00:31:54,186 --> 00:31:57,666
gratitude toward care and upbringing
should never become the shackles.

339
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:59,305
Respect and understanding
always prevail.

340
00:32:00,105 --> 00:32:02,505
No one in this world can

341
00:32:03,305 --> 00:32:07,466
or has the right to force you
into anything against your will.

342
00:32:08,505 --> 00:32:11,666
And you shouldn't burden yourself
with such notions either.

343
00:32:12,666 --> 00:32:17,265
Cherish yourself
and pursue what you desire.

344
00:32:17,265 --> 00:32:23,545
That's what all your true family
wants for you.

345
00:32:25,345 --> 00:32:26,416
I understand now.

346
00:32:27,226 --> 00:32:28,626
Rest assured.

347
00:32:28,626 --> 00:32:31,626
Since I managed to rescue you
from the Nangong family,

348
00:32:32,345 --> 00:32:36,906
I'll never let anyone hurt you
or force you into anything again.

349
00:32:38,105 --> 00:32:41,505
If anyone tries, I'll smash their heads
and break their legs.

350
00:32:45,986 --> 00:32:49,226
Thank you, Qiushui.

351
00:32:50,946 --> 00:32:52,505
We're family.

352
00:32:52,505 --> 00:32:55,265
No need for thanks between us.

353
00:32:59,706 --> 00:33:03,986
Xueyu, the Qu sisters live here.

354
00:33:03,986 --> 00:33:06,866
Spend time talking with them

355
00:33:06,866 --> 00:33:08,825
and focus on recovering your health.

356
00:33:08,825 --> 00:33:11,105
I bet they're making herbal soup
for you right now.

357
00:33:11,105 --> 00:33:12,626
I'll go check on them.

358
00:33:13,232 --> 00:33:14,288
Qiushui.

359
00:33:17,745 --> 00:33:20,986
My gratitude
isn't just for today's rescue.

360
00:33:21,825 --> 00:33:26,305
I also thank you for saving me
when I fell off the cliff herb-gathering

361
00:33:26,986 --> 00:33:32,146
and for all those precious herbs
you've gathered for me over time.

362
00:33:32,146 --> 00:33:33,226
We're family.

363
00:33:34,545 --> 00:33:37,666
No matter what dangers
you face in the future,

364
00:33:38,706 --> 00:33:40,426
I'll always be the first to save you.

365
00:33:44,025 --> 00:33:45,466
Enough talk now.

366
00:33:45,466 --> 00:33:47,666
Or you'll think I'm nagging.

367
00:33:49,505 --> 00:33:53,386
I believe we should always look forward.

368
00:33:53,386 --> 00:33:55,745
We siblings will never be separated.

369
00:33:57,986 --> 00:33:59,585
It used to be me lecturing you,

370
00:34:00,386 --> 00:34:02,946
but today you're the one guiding me.

371
00:34:04,304 --> 00:34:05,426
Alright.

372
00:34:05,426 --> 00:34:06,986
Xueyu, you've lost too much weight.

373
00:34:06,986 --> 00:34:08,025
I'll get you the soup.

374
00:34:55,145 --> 00:34:56,176
Tang Fang.

375
00:35:01,105 --> 00:35:02,665
I saw you were busy earlier,

376
00:35:02,665 --> 00:35:04,266
so I waited outside for you.

377
00:35:13,065 --> 00:35:14,192
What's this about?

378
00:35:24,665 --> 00:35:26,826
Women understand each other's struggles.

379
00:35:31,505 --> 00:35:34,145
I'm glad you rescued Xueyu.

380
00:35:38,705 --> 00:35:41,466
Her predicament with the Nangong family

381
00:35:42,505 --> 00:35:45,505
was no different
from my past situation in the Tang Sect.

382
00:35:47,545 --> 00:35:49,105
That's why I'm glad you intervened

383
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:54,705
so that she's safe and sound now.

384
00:36:01,105 --> 00:36:02,128
Thank you.

385
00:36:09,786 --> 00:36:11,426
I received a letter from my father.

386
00:36:13,025 --> 00:36:16,665
There's apparently a mess
waiting for me to clean up.

387
00:36:17,545 --> 00:36:18,986
And since your injuries have healed,

388
00:36:19,866 --> 00:36:22,306
I should return home now.

389
00:36:24,986 --> 00:36:26,065
Will it be troublesome?

390
00:36:29,225 --> 00:36:31,065
Just minor issues.

391
00:36:31,065 --> 00:36:33,386
I'll come back after handling them.

392
00:36:41,986 --> 00:36:45,266
Okay. Then we'll all
go to Emei together.

393
00:36:47,946 --> 00:36:50,185
If we can uncover the secrets
of the Book of Oblivion,

394
00:36:50,906 --> 00:36:53,386
your father might be saved.

395
00:37:35,906 --> 00:37:39,786
Qiushui, just as you predicted,

396
00:37:39,786 --> 00:37:42,665
Nangong Wushang and his brothers
are causing trouble at Xiao Villa.

397
00:37:45,225 --> 00:37:47,625
Your family disrespected us Nangongs!

398
00:37:48,505 --> 00:37:51,505
Mr. Nangong, what's the meaning of this?

399
00:37:51,505 --> 00:37:52,946
Still playing dumb?

400
00:37:52,946 --> 00:37:56,025
Xiao Yiren, we Nangongs
have shown you every courtesy.

401
00:37:56,025 --> 00:37:58,145
The betrothal gifts and ceremony
were as you requested.

402
00:37:58,145 --> 00:38:00,585
Before my brother
could finish hosting guests,

403
00:38:00,585 --> 00:38:02,786
Xiao Qiushui stole the bride!

404
00:38:03,466 --> 00:38:04,705
What kind of scheme is this?

405
00:38:06,746 --> 00:38:09,346
Wasn't Xueyu supposed
to marry you, Nangong Wushang?

406
00:38:10,306 --> 00:38:11,466
What's really going on?

407
00:38:11,466 --> 00:38:13,145
Xiao Qiushui isn't that capable.

408
00:38:13,145 --> 00:38:16,065
Besides, he's no longer
part of our family.

409
00:38:16,065 --> 00:38:17,104
No?

410
00:38:18,346 --> 00:38:21,946
Xiao Qiushui was holding Changge,
the Xiao family head's sword.

411
00:38:22,946 --> 00:38:24,346
What?

412
00:38:24,346 --> 00:38:26,705
Changge is in Qiushui's possession?

413
00:38:26,705 --> 00:38:29,225
Yiren, what's going on?

414
00:38:29,826 --> 00:38:32,145
Xiao Yiren, if you can't
control your own family,

415
00:38:32,145 --> 00:38:33,786
stop pretending to be the family head.

416
00:38:33,786 --> 00:38:35,545
I'm canceling this marriage arrangement.

417
00:38:35,545 --> 00:38:37,746
Just return all the betrothal gifts

418
00:38:37,746 --> 00:38:42,906
and compensate us
with five thousand taels for our losses.

419
00:38:42,906 --> 00:38:46,105
Nangongs, don't push your luck.

420
00:38:46,105 --> 00:38:47,986
Five thousand taels? That's robbery.

421
00:38:47,986 --> 00:38:50,505
Today, we'll tear down
this Xiao residence if we must!

422
00:38:50,505 --> 00:38:53,625
How dare you!
I won't tolerate such insolence!

423
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:57,185
Resisters will be
dealt with mercilessly.

424
00:39:10,225 --> 00:39:11,376
- Qiushui?
- Qiushui?

425
00:39:14,705 --> 00:39:15,920
Xiao Qiushui?

426
00:39:16,625 --> 00:39:19,386
You people took advantage of our family
and disgraced your name.

427
00:39:21,105 --> 00:39:23,266
How dare you cause trouble here?

428
00:39:23,266 --> 00:39:26,145
I told you the marriage pact is void.

429
00:39:26,145 --> 00:39:28,826
The betrothal gifts
will be returned tomorrow morning.

430
00:39:30,986 --> 00:39:32,176
Let's go.

431
00:39:37,786 --> 00:39:38,896
Qiushui.

432
00:39:42,426 --> 00:39:45,585
Have your martial skills recovered?
You're even more formidable.

433
00:39:48,705 --> 00:39:51,946
Your martial skills have improved,
and so has your talent for trouble.

434
00:39:59,025 --> 00:40:04,386
If you're talking about rescuing Xueyu
from the Nangong family,

435
00:40:05,426 --> 00:40:06,576
I did nothing wrong.

436
00:40:07,185 --> 00:40:09,946
Yiren, you're the one who erred.

437
00:40:13,306 --> 00:40:17,705
Tell me, do you truly possess Changge?

438
00:40:18,306 --> 00:40:22,225
When I obtained it,
I intended to give it to you.

439
00:40:23,466 --> 00:40:26,625
But now it seems completely unnecessary.

440
00:40:28,266 --> 00:40:34,346
The responsibility to revive our family
falls on every one of us.

441
00:40:36,225 --> 00:40:40,105
But I disagree with your methods.

442
00:40:44,505 --> 00:40:45,625
Xiao Qiushui!

443
00:41:07,625 --> 00:41:11,946
Qiushui!

444
00:41:20,625 --> 00:41:22,426
Qiushui.

445
00:41:26,346 --> 00:41:27,585
It hurts.

446
00:41:33,185 --> 00:41:35,346
- Are you okay?
- It hurts.

447
00:41:36,386 --> 00:41:37,936
You're still so reckless

448
00:41:37,936 --> 00:41:40,505
and poor in lightness skill,
flying blindly around.

449
00:41:40,505 --> 00:41:41,584
Then next time, I'll...

450
00:41:42,906 --> 00:41:44,306
Qiushui, look.

451
00:41:49,266 --> 00:41:52,346
I found this in the hidden alcove
in Sword King's bedroom.
