[Guardians of the Dafeng]

[Episode 3]

Do no evil deeds late at night. [Zhu Guang Xiao, Eighth-rank Warrior Guardian]

You need not fear the Guardians by day. [Song Ting Feng, Eighth-rank Warrior Guardian]

The Guardians are on the case. [Li Yu Chun, Seventh-rank Warrior Guardian]

Still not going to surrender?

Fight our way out!

Guardians of the Dafeng.

Take them away!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ⚔️ Champions of Justice ⚖️ Team @Viki.com

The Flying Tigers of Dafeng.

What are the Flying Tigers?

Well done, but don't do this again.

Guardian Li.

Guardian Li. You're finally back.

I am Xu Jiu Zhi, the Chief Registrar of Changle County Government Office.

As a humble official, I'd like you to judge this special case.

[Case Analysis of Changle County Government Office]

Song Ting Feng, Zhu Guang Xiao.

Present.

You two, run an errand.

Master.

They've all been arrested?

Yes, I just received the news, saying that Zhang Xian

and Censor Xu from the Imperial Censorate have both been taken away.

Jiu Zhi, I had no idea that you could convince the Guardians.

I don't deserve your praises.

Luckily, Xu Qi An's investigated the case

and that criminal woman, Zhang Yang Shi, confessed.

Excellent.

Xu Qi An. Well done.

He is a talent.

Say, why didn't we discover this before?

Master, it's better late than never.

It's definitely not too late.

"Do no evil deeds late at night. You need not fear the Guardians by day."

- "Do no evil deeds late at night. You need not fear the Guardians by day." - Enough.

Enough! Enough already. Stop practicing!

If you keep practicing, all of our dishes will be broken.

But the results are amazing.

See, I can easily catch the dish with my hands.

I understand what you're trying to do.

Everyone wants to be a Guardian.

Being a Guardian has always been my dream.

But to become a Guardian, you need someone to recommend you

and there is a series of demanding tests.

Back in the day, I also spent several hundred taels to have a chance to take the tests.

And the result?

I was fooled by swindlers.

If you ask me,

you should just settle down and work as a constable at the county government office.

They are Guardians, yet I am a laborer.

No way, I have to come up with another plan.

Ning Yan.

Ning Yan!

Why are you so late?

I have good news.

The county magistrate wants to reward you generously.

Boss, what do you mean by this?

It's your "reward."

Close the door.

What on earth is going on?

It was ordered by the county magistrate.

No effort will be spared

to create the best environment for you to achieve honor.

Starting today, Ning Yan will be the focus of our office's special attention*. (*playful joke meaning he'll be kept busy)

No one will come to interrupt you.

Whatever you need, just tell me.

I will keep the work coming*. (*sarcasm to keep him buried in tasks)

Just focus on solving cases. No distractions, all right?

I'm sorry*. (*mock sympathy)

Give me a helper! Can Xiao Bo stay with me?

Open it. Open.

What are you standing around for? Find some locks!

Secure all of the doors and windows. Hurry.

Bo, becoming a guardian isn't worth it.

[Three Days Later]

Father, it's been several days. Why hasn't cousin come back yet?

I'll go to the county government office to take a look.

They can't just treat people this way.

He's a grown young man. He should work hard to improve himself.

He's not a kid anymore.

Don't worry about him.

What's going on?

My nephew, what's wrong? Who dares bully someone from our family?

What happened?

Don't, don't cry.

I can't stand this.

What's going on? What happened?

Who has bullied you?

Forget it. I'm not eating.

I'm going back to my room to rest.

Go on, go get some rest.

By the way, Ning Yan,

I'll call you when it's time to go to the government office.

Call me?

Don't ever call me in this lifetime.

Even if the emperor himself comes, don't call me.

Ning Yan.

Second Uncle, quick! Help me stop him!

Constable Wang. Long time no see.

Brother Xu, I hope you are well.

Ning Yan, how is it?

Did you rest well?

Rest?

I haven't even seen my bed yet, how could I possibly rest?

Exactly, how could he?

Able men are always busy.

Don't worry. I've spoken to the county magistrate.

Starting today, you won't need to come to the government office anymore.

- Really? - Really.

You can just review cases at home. How convenient!

We brought all of the work to you. Come on.

Second Uncle!

No! Let's not rush things.

Constable Wang, this isn't the right way to handle things.

How can one conduct official government business at home?

Brother Xu, surely you, of all people understand that

working at home...

you'll also get paid.

Absolutely not. He's my nephew.

I understand.

Okay.

Come help Constable Wang bring all of the files in.

This way.

What files?

Hurry, move to the side yard.

- This way. - Side yard is over here.

- This way, please. - Over here.

This way.

Be careful.

Constable Wang.

Much obliged.

Yes, to the right. Turn right.

Once you're done, let's enjoy some tea.

Ning Yan.

Your family...

is truly wonderful.

Being a guardian...

isn't worth it.

Thanks for your help, Brother Xu.

Constable Wang, does my nephew have a talent for solving cases?

Of course, he does.

The county magistrate said...

as long as Ning Yan diligently reviews the files during this period,

and wins honors for the county government office during the Year of Officials Appraisal,

he'll reward him with a promotion and a title.

This will do nicely.

After all, my nephew is a Ninth Rank warrior.

What if you let him run away? You are so careless.

Of course.

Isn't this too much?

Not at all.

He's young and strong. What's wrong with having a little hardship?

Moreover, if he misses this opportunity, he'll surely regret it later.

Brother Xu, you are really wise.

You flatter me.

- This is all for my nephew's future. - Of course.

It has nothing to do with what we just discussed*. (*being paid)

That's beside the point.

Ning Yan, you just stay inside and read the files.

Don't waste my good intentions.

Rest assured, no one will disturb you.

I'll regularly check to ensure you have everything you need.

Just stay in there and focus on reviewing the files.

Okay, let's go!

Have a drink.

Today is the eleventh day of the third month.

I spent yet another night buried in files.

At this rate, I will become a government workhorse again.

No, I can't just sit back and wait to die.

Step one, escape.

[Step One: Escape]

Go back.

Unexpectedly, my uncle has already sided with the enemy.

But it doesn't matter. He can't watch me 24 hours a day.

I am too naive.

For money, my uncle would do anything.

Before Constable Wang arrives, you are not allowed to leave.

All right, I understand.

Constable Wang is the real key to the problem.

- Have a drink. - Let's go.

Ning Yan, why are you sleeping here?

Cover yourself with something. Don't catch a cold.

After gradually gaining Constable Wang's trust,

I've finally succeeded in getting him to lower his guard against me.

All right. Now I'm going to carry out step two.

Play the victim.

I don't want to live anymore. Give me a quick end.

Just kill me already! Grant me death!

Just let me die!

As expected, he softened and said to take me somewhere to relax.

Let's go to the theater*. (*can also mean brothel or entertainment house)

As a model young man, how could he bring me to a place like this?

It's not in line with my refined nature.

- Don't. - Ning Yan is rigid and unfeeling.

Relax.

Take this, Young Master. Let's enjoy life while we can.

Thank you.

I will restrain myself.

On the 13th day of the third month,

Constable Wang took me to the brothel to enjoy the music again.

He might think I would fall for his tricks and be grateful to him.

Isn't it just KTV*? (*karaoke bars)

I'm too familiar with all these capitalist schemes.

Trying to numb me, aren't you?

Impossible.

But after all, it's business socializing. There's no way around it.

I have to mention that I picked up more taels. [On the 14th day of the third month, enjoy music at the brothel.]

I find more lying around every day. Isn't this happening a little too often?

Here. I'll drink again! [On the 15th day of the third month, enjoy music at the brothel.]

And why does the quantity of taels increase every time I pick them up?

This is even faster than making money doing business.

Ning Yan, hurry up and review them.

I'll take you out to have fun again in a couple of days.

Okay, Boss, leave it to me.

All right.

Life has smoothed out my rough edges. [On the 16th day of the third month, enjoy music at the brothel.]

I can't keep on like this anymore.

But if I'm putting on a show, I may as well play the part until the end.

Fitting in is the key to success in the workplace. [On the 19th day of the third month, enjoy music at the brothel.]

[On the 20th day of the third month, enjoy music at the brothel]

[Xu Residence]

Father, please.

Three taels and two mace?

Father, why is there one tael less than last month?

The money was just distributed, wasn't it? There are many social obligations.

Next month, I will definitely give you more next month.

That's all, it's all here.

Fine, go in.

Thank you, my dear wife. Thank you.

Three taels and five mace.

This is what I've earned from copying books and selling calligraphy.

Five taels and two mace.

Nian'er, you are excellent. Well done.

Go in and get ready to eat.

Is it filled with rocks?

So many taels!

Where did you get so many taels?

Rewarded by the government office for reviewing files.

Come on, let's eat.

Thank you, dear wife.

Here you are.

Let's eat!

Auntie, I contributed the most to the family budget, and this is all I get?

If you don't want it, give it to me.

Nian'er is going to take the imperial examination soon.

He needs to nourish the brain.

You two are both mere warriors. Just have some steamed buns.

Nian‘er.

Here, this is for you.

Nian'er, what's wrong?

Something on your mind?

Nian'er, what are you thinking about?

An elder from the academy has taken up a post in Qingzhou.

Tomorrow, all of the students will gather to see him off and present him with a farewell poem.

But I haven't written the farewell poem yet.

If you can't write one, then don't.

That elder is a great Confucian scholar, known throughout the world,

and highly skilled in poetry.

If I could earn his recognition, it would bring countless benefits.

If I could have befriended this elder,

perhaps I could have saved you from going to prison

and you wouldn't have been left with no one to turn to.

What a pity that second brother has no talent in poetry.

Neither did your maternal grandfather.

He only knew how to write essays and lacked any poetic talent.

What's so funny?

What does it have to do with my father?

Is it my father's fault?

If Nian'er could pass the imperial examination, that would all be thanks to our Li family.

It's because he takes after me.

Here, look at Ling Yin.

She takes after your Xu family and hasn't even begun her studies.

What are you laughing at? You're the same.

Wait. Why are you blaming me when your son can't write a poem?

You're not very quiet about it.

Did I say something wrong about you?

If you were cut out for studying, you wouldn't have learned martial arts back then.

Wait, what's wrong with me learning martial arts?

Are people who learn martial arts are ignorant?

If no one learned martial arts, where did the constables come from?

If I don't learn martial arts, who will review the files?

- And who would solve so many cases? - Have I underestimated you?

Ning Yan.

Ru, let’s put this argument to rest for today.

Later, I'll join you for an epic battle of three hundred rounds.

Stop!

Eat up.

If you're capable, write a poem and let us hear it!

Isn't it just a poem?

"A lonely stranger in a foreign land.*" (*"Remembering My Brothers in Shandong on the Double Ninth Festival" by Wang Wei)

"I double my thoughts of parents during the holidays."

- Is it a poem? - Yes, it is. Let's eat!

"A lonely stranger in a foreign land."

"I double my thoughts of parents during the holidays."

"A lonely stranger..."

"in a foreign land."

"I double my thoughts of parents..."

"during the holidays."

That's a wonderful poem!

It is simply marvelous!

Y-You! Since when could you create poems?

When did I ever say I didn't know how to write poetry?

Is this poem good?

- Is it good? - It's very artistic.

Oh, my. After all this talk,

the one who's potential to be a scholar in our family is Ning Yan.

Had I known, I would have sent you to study,

and let Ci Jiu go learn martial arts.

But the poem is created by Ning Yan.

Just admire it.

Ci Jiu, do not claim it as your own work.

This is not what a scholar should do, right?

What's the point of doing so?

Elder Brother*, lend me this poem. (*honorifics used for older male cousin)

I will certainly credit you as the poet.

Elder Brother, eat some more. Eat more meat.

Those who learn martial arts should eat more meat.

Here.

I'll feed you.

Enough! Fine, you win!

Just take this poem.

Take it and show off.

Good.

"A lonely stranger..."

"in a foreign land."

"I double my thoughts of parents..."

"during the holidays."

Excellent poem.

Elder Brother, what about the last three lines?

I haven't finished reviewing the files. I'm going back.

Let me accompany you.

Any scholars willing to compose a poem

to bid farewell to Master Zi Yang? [Zhang Shen, Head of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank Nobleman]

Brother Que Zhi, even your poem was rejected. [Yang Gong, Head of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank Nobleman]

Let's not go up there and embarrass ourselves.

Sir, I have a poem.

"A lonely stranger in a foreign land."

"I double my thoughts of parents during the holidays."

"Do not worry that no one will understand you on the road ahead*" (*"A Farwell to Wang Lun" by Li Bai)

"under heaven, who wouldn’t recognize your greatness?"

Excellent poem! [Li Mu Bai, Head of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank Nobleman]

- What an excellent poem! - Excellent.

Excellent.

What an excellent poem!

"Do not worry that no one will understand you on the road ahead"

"under heaven, who wouldn’t recognize your greatness?"

Ci Jiu.

Why is this poem only half completed?

This poem is only half completed.

- Only half completed? - No problem.

No problem, it's fine.

Even half a poem is already astonishing like a heavenly being.

Xu Ci Jiu, did you give this poem a title?

No.

Then we should call it,

"Mianyang Pavilion Bids Yang Gong Farewell on His Journey to Qingzhou."

"Do not worry that no one will understand you on the road ahead"

"under heaven, who wouldn’t recognize your greatness?"

He has tied the poem and his name together.

He's so lucky.

Upon first hearing this poem, indeed it's so artistic.

This poem will surely be passed down through the ages.

Xu Ci Jiu, come here.

What is wrong, Headmaster?

Why haven't you

presented any good poems to me before today?

Actually, I'm not the one who created this poem,

but by someone else.

Who is it? Is it one of our academy's scholars?

- It's my cousin. - Your cousin?

Why haven't you mentioned this to me before?

What is his name? Who did he study under?

My cousin's name is Xu Ning Yan.

He has been studying the classics at home and doesn't have a master yet.

- Come here. - Sit down.

- Take a seat. - Sit, sit.

Take a seat.

Have some tea.

Well, I suddenly have the desire to accept a new disciple today.

I have nothing to do today, why don't you take me to your home

and introduce me to your cousin.

Xu Ci Jiu, where does your cousin live?

I want to pay him a visit,

have a long discussion with him, and share chess strategies.

How can the art of chess be a mainstream pursuit?

A scholar must first learn the profound principles,

understand strategic essays and political discussions, and cultivate himself to bring harmony to the family.

Masters.

My cousin is not a scholar, but a warrior.

Warrior?

What are you laughing at?

You lousy chess player!

Against Wei Yuan, you've never won.

You shameless old scoundrel! Shut up.

Don't mention Wei Yuan in front of me.

I have always cherished talents.

I have decided to accept this student.

You just covet his poems.

You shameless old scoundrel!

With one breath of my righteous energy, I'll bring you down!

Fine, who is afraid?

I have the strength of an army to burn you to death.

- I'll beat you to death. - I'm not afraid of you.

That's impressive!

Second Uncle, are you all right? Second Uncle?

I'm fine. Nothing is wrong.

I'm totally fine.

Nice, there's an improvement.

But if you want to go further,

then you must reach the Qi Refining Stage.

Qi Refining Stage?

This Qi Refining Stage is different from the Essence Refining Stage.

To reach the eighth-grade Qi Refining Stage,

one must use the Cleansing Marrow Elixir for nourishment

or find a Spirit Refining Stage master

to enlighten you.

Sure, sure.

Back in the day, during the Battle of Linyuan Pass,

I risked my life on the battlefield, barely managed to earn a few military merits.

Only then was I able to ask a master from the army to open my Heavenly Gate for me.

But now, in this era of peace and prosperity, how can one gain military merits?

How can one reach the Qi Refining Stage?

That's true...

Do you have to reach the realm of refining qi before marring?

I am getting old.

My only wish is to see you take a wife and have children.

Only then would you truly honor your late parents.

No, wait.

What does reaching the Qi Refining Stage have to do with marriage and having children?

Of course, it has everything to do with it!

If you marry and have children

while still in the Essence Refining Stage,

you’ll be stuck at that level for life.

The path of martial arts will become as insurmountable as a heavenly chasm.

Is there no other way?

Actually...

yes.

- Just throw money at it. - Throw money at it?

That Marrow Cleansing Elixir and hiring a master... these can all be solved with money.

Second Uncle, give me back my money! I want to reach the Qi Refining Stage.

I want to marry and have children.

When did I ever take your money?

Didn’t you just say you were saving it for me? Well, now I want to withdraw it, so hand it over!

Didn’t I already use it to pay the monthly allowance?

You’re not hiding it in your shoe anymore. I just saw it.

When have I hidden anything in my shoes?

I don't have money. Stop talking nonsense.

Let me ask you how could I do such a thing?

Don't ruin my reputation.

I want to take a wife and have children.

Father. I've almost finished harvesting.

The weather is so good today.

Why don't you take Ling Yin and me out for a walk later?

I have things to do.

What will you do? Go drinking with your colleagues again?

You have a lot of money.

No, no. I have official business. It's a matter of duty.

Ling Yue, you are the same, running off every other day.

Isn't this home suitable enough for you?

That's not it, Mother.

I-I saw that the flour jar at home is almost empty,

so I want to go out to buy some.

Let Ning Yan accompany you.

Me? I need to review the files, I-I can't leave if Constable Wang isn't with me.

Stand right there.

Do you want me to ground you again?

Bring me the locks!

Wait!

Ladies, let's go.

Dou Ding, climb aboard.

Up!

- Come back early. - Be careful.

Come back early.

[Picture Book]

[The Dashing Swordsman Gu Ruohan]

Xiao Dou Ding'er, Dou Ding'er.

You can't eat anymore. You've already had two.

Sister! Sister, take care of her.

[The Dashing Swordsman Gu Ruohan]

How much have you eaten already?

Let's go, you can eat more tomorrow.

- Kids. - Everyone come over here.

- What flavor do you want? - Give me the one at the end.

- Here you go. - Here, take it.

- Let's go. - Come again soon.

Carefully! You've finished another one.

Sister, thank you.

Without you, I wouldn't stand a chance with this little foodie.

She's clever, knowing you would spoil her.

By the way, I noticed you were at that bookstall for a long time.

What were you looking at?

Oh, they had some collections of calligraphy and poetry.

While I’m not a scholar like Second Brother,

I do enjoy admiring a touch of elegance and refinement.

You also like poems?

Not exactly.

Those poetry collections aren’t even as good as the poem you casually created.

By the way, Elder Brother, when did you start creating poems?

You changed into a completely different person.

The you of the past never created poems.

Then, what did I do before?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

Before, you were always quiet and kept to yourself.

Father would call you several times, and you were unwilling to eat with us.

But now, you eat the most,

and even have the nerve to talk back to Mother.

How unruly!

But the new you feel like family to us.

Candied hawthorns for sale!

Sweet candied hawthorns!

Elder Brother, candied hawthorns!

How can you still be hungry?

It's useless turning to him to get some.

Candied hawthorns are so sweet, don't you want your teeth?

How about this? Beg me.

I'm begging you, Elder Brother.

All right, I will go buy some for you. Wait here.

- Look. - Butterfly!

- Look over there. - Butterfly.

- Over there. - Butterfly.

Butterfly.

Look.

[Zhou Li, Son of Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Revenue]

I want to swing. Push me.

Don't go, Sister. I will catch the butterfly for you.

- You don't need to catch them. - We must catch it.

Where are you going?

You're a bad guy!

Little girl, I caught the butterfly for you.

Take a look.

- It's dead. - Don't be afraid.

- Don't move. - Come on, come to me.

Come to me, hurry.

Candied hawthorns for sale!

Sweet candied hawthorns!

Where are they?

What's going on?

What have I taught you?

Be tenderhearted toward women, understand?

And you, they wanted a live butterfly, yet you brought them a dead one.

Learn from me.

Excuse me, please make way.

Little girl.

Move!

Let's go!

Brother.

Dou Ding, don't be afraid. I am here.

- This is for you. - Elder Brother.

Ling Yue, take Ling Yin away.

Go!

Young Master, Young Master.

I apologize. I got too carried away earlier. Truly, I’m very sorry.

- Your clothes are ruined. - Let go.

What happened? What's going on?

So many people.

Come on, let's go to the government office.

Young Master, my uncle is Xu Ping Zhi, an Imperial Sword Guard.

The two just now are my younger sisters.

I wonder how they offended you.

Xu Ping Zhi?

The one who lost the tax taels.

Exactly, it seems you know my uncle.

Then it's good. I will bring my uncle and visit you another day.

You!

Take him down for me. Now!

Who beats the drum to seek justice?

- Ling Yue. - Uncle Wang, Elder Brother is in trouble.

Please save him now.

Also, go inform my father.

He's at Li Bai Hu's place drinking.

Young Master, my cousins and I only had a verbal disagreement with you.

Does it really justify taking lives?

Sever the tendons in his hands and legs.

Don't come any closer or I'll kill him.

You... Do you know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

Let me tell you something, even a common man has his limits.

Once a common man gets angry, I-

Stop!

Make way.

Who dares to commit violence on the streets right in front of the Changle County Government Office?

Arrest him at once!

I will certainly make him suffer a thousand deaths by a thousand cuts.

- Take them all away. - Yes.

What is the meaning of this? Let go of me!

- Let go of me. - Why did you provoke him?

He's the son of Vice Minister of Revenue.

Have you lost your mind?

Don't you know who I am?

I am terrible with faces. I don't know who you are.

If you have something to say, go talk to the county magistrate yourself.

Go, go! Everyone follow me.

How dare you?

- Let go of me! - Go, go.

Have you informed my uncle?

I've already sent for him. Quick! Think of a plan.

Let's talk when we get back to the government office.

You really are good at causing trouble.

[Upright and Aboveboard]

Elder Brother.

Where's Ling Yin?

She was a bit frightened and is sleeping in the side hall.

Sir.

Take your sister to the back hall. Don't come out no matter what.

Yes, let's go.

Who said you could go? Stop right there!

Leave.

This is Young Master Zhou.

Is Minister Zhou well?

He attempted to murder me on the street. Seize him.

You're exaggerating, Young Master Zhou. This is merely a small deal.

We are all on the same side.

You are generous, please don't stoop to the level of someone of lower status.

Don't waste my time with this act.

Are you going to arrest him or not?

You're not going to arrest him?

Fine, I'll arrest him myself.

Men, bring me that punk!

Young Master Zhou, don't do it.

I am an imperial official and will handle matters according to the regulations.

Men.

I have an accusation accusing you of bullying respectable women.

The plaintiff is Xu Ling Yue.

Young Master Zhou, may I have a word with you?

Young Master Zhou, during the Year of Officials Appraisal, if a royal complaint is filed,

it could reflect poorly on Vice Minister Zhou, don’t you agree?

Get lost.

Jiu Zhi, are you all right?

What are you waiting for? Arrest him.

Zhou Li.

Assaulting someone from the county government office. Guards, seize him!

You! How dare you lay a hand on me!

Guess whether I would dare or not.

Fine!

Just a mere county magistrate, you're bold!

Tell my father that someone dares to look down on him.

Yes.

Terrible.

Zhou Li might be calling for help.

It seems today you can't escape.

Leave now.

I will send someone to escort you out of the city.

The farther you escape, the better. Leave.

If I leave, what will happen to my uncle's family?

What's the point of thinking so much now?

Just escape.

Boss, lend me a tael.

A tael? That's a fortune!

I'm afraid I don't have one.

That's all. It should be enough for you.

It's enough. Ride a horse and get to my house.

Look for a book inside the cabinet beside my bed.

A blue-covered book. Don't take the wrong one.

Once you get the book, go to the Astronomy Bureau.

Find a woman named Cai Wei and deliver a message for me.

"Xu Qi An is in trouble, rescue him immediately."

All right.

Wait, can someone like me go to the Astronomy Bureau?

If something happens to me, no one will return this tael to you.

Once it is done, you can have my entire salary next month.

Money is not important.

But remember to pay me back.

- Yellow? - Blue.

Blue, okay.

Elder Brother.

Don't worry, I am here.

Young Master Zhou, Please calm down.

Actually, it's not a big deal.

How about I cane that punk twenty times to vent your anger?

If that's not enough, I'll give him fifty.

- I want him dead. - You…

The Ministry of Justice is here to arrest the criminal.

Bystanders, step aside.

If anyone interferes,

will be punished for the same crime.

Ministry of Justice?

Xu Qi An

You!

Xu Qi An. Don't pretend you can't hear me. Come out.

Take him down.

Elder Brother.

- Official. - Xiao Yue!

He humiliated me first, Elder Brother only stepped in to stop him.

Why would he be punished?

Whether he's guilty or not, I will make the judgment.

Step aside!

- Official. - Sister!

'I'm Just a Commoner' - GAI

♫ I'm just a mere mortal under the sky ♫

♫ Countless people talking my ignorance ♫

♫ I aspire to fly high ♫

♫ My hands cannot conceal the light ♫

♫ Witness how the gavel untangles countless conflicted hearts ♫

♫ Looking back, it's like one of those story plots ♫

♫ I will become a thing of the past ♫

♫ The dark clouds part to see the sunset ♫

♫ See how much truth remains in the end ♫

♫ Turning back to resolve the problem ♫

♫ This unique me is still a commoner ♫

♫ Aim to break the rules before moving on ♫

♫ Master the exceptional skills ♫

♫ I bid farewell to those who stand in my way ♫

♫ Never mind the vast smog ♫

♫ I utilize every mean ♫

♫ With a lift of my arm, I open court in the heavens ♫

♫ When I stand to write, I check attendance again ♫

♫ He worships me as a spirit in heaven ♫

♫ I'm curious about what you covet ♫

♫ I accidentally uncovered a secret ♫

♫ The politics upon my lips ♫

♫ Has overthrown it all ♫

♫ It is not steadfast ♫

♫ When standing there ♫

♫ You must follow the rules I made ♫

♫ Apply skills to cure diseases ♫

♫ Eradicate the maladies of this vast land ♫

♫ I am just a commoner ♫

♫ Who aims to take steady steps ♫

♫ I am just a commoner ♫

♫ Who never wants to lose my sense of right and wrong ♫

♫ I am just a commoner ♫

♫ Who likes dance and music instead of fighting ♫

♫ I always see lonely souls roaming the mountains ♫

♫ I don't regret my own recklessness ♫

♫ Open my eyes to see through the world, taking a vacation amidst the strife ♫

♫ I am but a commoner, feeling this worldly transformation ♫

♫ Future generations can read my experiences ♫

♫ My hands cannot conceal the light ♫

♫ Witness how the gavel untangles countless conflicted hearts ♫

♫ Looking back, it's like one of those story plots ♫

♫ I will become a thing of the past ♫

♫ We only have one life so take it easy ♫

♫ My chessboard involves two sides ♫

♫ As I lay out my strategy, you take a hint ♫

♫ When you feel regret, it's too late then ♫

♫ So many tricks and lies ♫

♫ I witness what you've done ♫

♫ May we live and die together ♫

♫ A promise weighs more than thousands of words ♫

♫ I'm just a mere mortal under the sky ♫

♫ Countless people talking my ignorance ♫

♫ Leaving behind some written notes ♫

♫ Awake, where will success lie in? ♫
