[Episode 8]

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

I told you, practice more regularly.

My apologies, Sir. I was truly too excited just now.

I was too excited just now. I truly apologize.

Xu Qi An.

Guardian Yang.

This is your direct superior, Silver Guardian Li Yu Chun.

Greetings, Guardian Li.

The Flying Tigers* of Dafeng. (*SWAT Team)

What are the Flying Tigers? Well done, but don't do this again.

I once had the honor of meeting you. Do you still remember?

So, you're old acquaintances. That makes things much simpler.

Guardian Li, I'm entrusting him to you.

You must take good care of him.

Take care, Guardian Yang.

Guardian Li, you were on duty at that time.

Your imposing figure conquered me completely at first sight.

Now, it's truly my great honor to be under your command.

How come I do not remember you?

That's normal. The mighty tend to forget trivial things.

But at that time, it was indeed my fault-

Trying to sound smart.

Working under me, you must keep a clear conscience.

If I ever find you committing any misdeeds,

regardless of your status or who recommended you,

I will handle it according to the law. Absolutely no mercy.

Yes, Sir!

Leader.

[Selfless]

I've finally joined the Guardians! [Haoqi Tower]

Your Highness, Master Wei just sent over Xu Qi An's aptitude test result. [Moon Embracing Palace]

Please review them. [My good fortune comes from the people's hard work. It's easy to fool the commoners. Heaven is difficult to deceive.]

"My good fortune comes from the people's hard work."

"It's easy to fool the commoners. Heaven is difficult to deceive."

No one has earned an A Plus grade in years. [Aptitude Test Result of Xu Qi An: A+]

Your Highness, you have such keen eyes. You've selected such a talent at once.

The princess has arrived!

Huai Qing, I heard you recommended many talents to the Guardians.

Yes. Guardians are the ears and eyes of the Emperor.

I recommended them to join the Guardians

to select and promote capable people to work for Dafeng.

Am I not doing the same?

I'm also dedicated to Dafeng, working day and night.

I have other matters to do. Do as you like.

Don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet.

Xiao Gang, hurry and let the Princess see

the ranking of the Guardian candidate we recommended.

Zhao Jia, B+. [Aptitude Test Result of Zhao Jia: B+]

What kind of ranking is it?

Qualifications for Guardians are very strict.

Getting a B+ grade is very rare.

Zhao Jia, living up to his name, will surely be promoted to an A ranking*. (*"Jia" in his name means "A")

A Grade, what kind of rating is this?

A Grade means talent befitting a Gold Guardian.

I heard they will become key candidates to nurture.

I heard that among the candidates recommended by Eldest Princess,

the highest was only B ranking.

I see.

I never expected that with a casual recommendation,

I've brought such talent to the Guardians.

I wonder if Princess Huai Qing has recommended anyone that exceeded a B grade.

- Let me see! - Hey! [To Eldest Princess]

Why? I just want to take a look. Are you afraid?

I have important matters to attend to and am busy.

I have important matters, too. Just a quick look, it won't delay you.

- Come on. - The Crown Prince has arrived!

Elder Brother!

Why are you making a fuss here? [Crown Prince]

Hurry back to Shaoyin Palace.

I heard that Huai Qing recommended a talent to the Guardian Government Office.

I just want to see what kind of talent he is.

Huai Qing, how is this person's aptitude? May I have a look?

Imperial Brother, if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave.

Let's take a look!

[Aptitude Test Result of Newly Promoted Bronze Guardian Xu Qi An: A+]

Huai Qing's insight is indeed unique.

To have such talent under her command.

Xu Qi An.

[Aptitude Test Result of Newly Promoted Bronze Guardian Xu Qi An: A+]

A+.

- Lin An! Lin An, what's wrong with you? - Princess!

- Six bamboo tiles.* - Six bamboo tiles? (*Mahjong, a tile-based game)

Not good.

A true gentleman watches Mahjong without a word.

Do you know that Mahjong requires skills? Every tile has its own-

Go read your book!

Auntie Ma, you'll surely lose.

Cousin, why are you back?

Because I miss you.

But I haven't become a minister yet.

No problem, I will help you.

The capital is too dangerous.

Since it's dangerous, our family should be together,

forging ahead and supporting each other.

Come on, help me carry it.

You even have a temper?

Come on, I have a gift for you.

Ya...

Sheng's carving knife.

Cousin, how did you steal it?

If discovered, it's the death penalty for nine generations.

I didn't touch it!

It's fake. It's to encourage you to study hard.

You scared me to death! Let me see.

It's quite convincingly made.

Are Uncle and Auntie back?

I've missed them dearly after so long.

They did come back. Hearing that you were leaving, they…

They didn't go looking for me, did they? Why didn't you hide it from them?

It's such a big matter. What if they get sick from being overanxious?

You're right. They were indeed overanxious.

So thoughtless of you.

How about 100 taels, furniture included? If you like it, I'll help you move now.

I'll refurbish the yard and plant some flowers and grass.

Yes. Though it's a side yard, but its location is great.

Just outside the door is the East Market.

Look up, there's the Guiyue Tavern, with all kinds of food and drinks.

Turn left, there is the private school. I am very close to the teachers there.

I can reach out to him to make things easier for your child.

That's true.

How about 80 taels, or 50 taels? Just make a counteroffer!

- What a dump, yet so expensive. - Give you for free!

- Or I pay you? What's wrong with her? - Come back.

- How many people have come by already? What should we do? - All for nothing.

That's fine, the brat cannot come back anyway. We have plenty of time.

There won't be much time left soon.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

We didn't plan to sell your house.

We are renting it out.

Since you're not coming back, the house would stay empty anyway. Right?

Why not rent it out?

- No, don't. - Uncle, Auntie.

You two really are skillful in managing a household.

Just a misunderstanding. We can talk it over.

Talk? We are family.

- Once I leave, you sell my house! - We didn't sell it.

- Is there no place for me in this family at all? - There is!

- Are you still selling it or not? - We won't.

Not selling. It's renting it out.

All right then. I’m hungry all of a sudden.

Hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and see what I can cook.

A welcome feast for you.

I'll get you some wine, good wine.

- That settles it? - What?

Don't hurt the innocent. Hurry up and help!

I can't cook! What does it have to do with me?

Enough gossip. We won't air family matters.

Go play your mahjong!

What? You've reached the Qi Refining Stage?

Did a master from the Spirit Refining Stage help you?

No. I cleansed my marrow with Cleansing Marrow Elixir at the Government Office.

- Then I took a medicinal bath. Anyway, it's been a real hassle. - "Cleansing Marrow Elixir"?

When it ended, the inner city had closed. That's why I didn't come back.

By the way, Second Uncle, I'm already enlightened.

Cleansing Marrow Elixir?

Let me have a sniff.

What are you doing? That's not cheap stuff.

How would the Changle County Government Office bear to let you use it?

Not them.

Guardian? You've joined the Guardians?

What happened?

Princess Huai Qing recommended me.

Princess Huai Qing?

I was puzzled at first. I briefly met her once at the Astronomy Bureau.

Was it because I made way for her?

Or because I am so handsome I can enchant everyone?

The day you recited poems to encourage studying at Yunlu Academy,

Princess Huai Qing was also there.

She appreciated your poems very much.

Maybe she took notice of you then and decided to recruit you.

It's a pity. It was for my poetry.

But you have to be careful. Cousin, you need to be cautious.

She is very deep-minded.

Not only has she studied at Yunlu Academy for many years,

she is also kind of a student disciple to Wei Yuan.

Her qi* skills are superb. (*Chinese chess)

Recommending you to join the Guardians is certainly not a casual move.

Ci Jiu, you seem to know a lot about these important figures.

All students look up to Master Wei and Princess Huai Qing.

It's not strange that I know these things.

Then tell me, what kind of person is Master Wei? What does he like?

Right. What about his taste in food, his birthday

and small quirks?

Cousin, stop thinking about cutting corners.

Wait, what do you mean by "cutting corners"?

It's catering to his preferences.

Think about it, if I cater to him,

wouldn't our Xu family rise rapidly in status?

Be careful not to trap yourself.

Father, criticize him! Where did he learn such bad things?

Son, your cousin has thought this through.

Tell him everything you know.

But, Ning Yan, the Guardian's Government Office is not like the one in Changle County.

You must be cautious there.

Don't anger Princess Huai Qing.

Okay.

How about this? Introduce me to the Guardians as well.

Look, if we work together, I could help you, right?

Second Uncle, you want to join the Guardians?

I'm just looking out for both of us.

Joining the Guardians requires an intelligence test.

Isn't that right up my alley?

Second Uncle, listen carefully. I have something in one hand and nothing in the other.

You can ask us a few questions at will.

One of us only tells the truth, and the other only speaks lies. Let's start.

What lies?

- It's just an example. - Right.

An example of what?

Cousin, let's talk about Master Wei instead. Let's go.

It hasn't started yet! Why are you leaving?

[Test Result of Bronze Guardian Xu Qi An]

Lin An.

Elder Brother, Huai Qing is deliberately suppressing me.

It was you who provoked first. She left you room at every turn.

Who cares?

Princess, please enjoy.

Enjoy? I'm full of anger! Take it away!

Princess, the Crown Prince specially brought it for you.

Wait.

Delicious. Better than what the imperial kitchen makes.

Elder Brother, have some, too.

Look at you, nowhere like a princess.

Just a child who never grows up.

By the way, next year is our imperial grandmother's 80th birthday.

Imperial Father always prioritizes filial piety, and attaches great importance to this.

At that time, there'll be a nationwide amnesty

and a grand poetry event at Taixing Palace for celebration.

Elder Brother, don't worry.

I have already recruited talents to fully prepare for the poetry event.

Actually, I...

I don't want you to participate.

Our imperial mother is strict, demanding excellence in everything.

As a princess, everything you do is always compared with Huai Qing.

Our imperial mother does this,

the others even more so.

Your Highness, is everything going well?

Lin An is ignorant of the ways of the world.

It's hard to restrain herself when facing things.

If she insists on participating,

who knows how much trouble she might cause.

Your Highness, with reasoning,

Princess Lin An will surely change her mind.

Otherwise, if yesterday's event at the Astronomy Bureau happens again,

it would truly make her a laughingstock.

[Promoting Honesty and Good Will]

- Xiao Gang. - Yes, Princess.

Start preparing.

Starting from tomorrow, we will move to the residence outside the palace.

We're fine in the palace,

why move outside?

To prepare for the poetry event.

It's easier to recruit scholars outside.

We can't do that, Princess.

The Noble Consort scolded you not long ago.

She will definitely not agree.

Don't worry. As long as it is for my brother's good,

she will not blame me.

But the Crown Prince did not want you to participate.

He lied.

Those words were just to comfort me.

Actually, in his heart,

he truly hopes that I could help him.

Is that true, Your Highness?

Of course, we are siblings.

I know what he is thinking.

Moreover, not only he can help me,

can't I also help him?

It's settled then.

Starting tomorrow, we'll widely recruit talented scholars

for the poetry event.

But the other princes and princesses have been preparing since the beginning of the year.

We are just starting now.

All the talented people may have already been recruited.

Don't worry.

Let's try looking first.

By the way, distribute this milk snow cream to everyone.

[Test Result of Bronze Guardian Xu Qi An]

[Imperial Spiritual Pet, Spirit Dragon]

How long has he been like this?

I don't know.

When I made breakfast this morning, he was already here.

Xu Ning Yan.

Help me check if this outfit fits well.

I always feel that the cuffs are a bit tight.

What are you doing? Are you eating breakfast or not?

I see! Practicing martial arts lately

has made my body much more robust.

No wonder the trousers also feel so tight.

I was too excited yesterday and forgot to measure the size.

I'll get a new one at the government office today.

Must get a whole new set.

Has he lost his mind?

He's indeed acting strangely.

Just a few days ago, he was reluctant to work.

Today he takes it so seriously.

Can it be the same?

He's a Guardian now.

Those clerks are all intimidated by him,

even wanting to offer him tributes.

Father, don't talk nonsense.

Cousin is not that kind of person.

I can tell he truly wants to help the people.

That's why he values his identity as a Guardian.

He's coming.

Help me check it.

I always feel that my sword doesn't quite match my outfit.

It matches well.

That's good.

Bronze Guardian Xu Qi An is going to report for duty.

Strutting!

I was not like that back then, right?

You were more handsome.

Hurry up.

Guardians' daily routine one, confiscating property.

Within Dafeng, no matter how high-ranking, as long as they violate the law,

Guardians can arrest them before reporting.

That's why people say,

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

Guardians' daily routine two, interrogation.

We excel at using deception tactics for both investigation and gathering evidence.

It's also for apprehension.

Guardians can interrogate arrested officials.

Others have no right to intervene.

There is another rule.

Without Guardian Nan Gong's permission, no one can meet with prisoners.

Guardians' daily routine three…

Monitor officials and gather information.

Within Dafeng, anyone could be the eyes

and the hands of the Guardians.

Tianji Pavilion is airtight, [Virtuous | Lofty Spirits | Calm]

gathering all sorts of information nationwide.

Others can hardly approach it. Only the Guardians can.

No matter which Ministry they belong to, we have the right to investigate.

[Ministry of Rites, Ling Hua]

This is Dafeng's most formidable intelligence network.

It continuously gathers and organizes reports then gives a final analysis.

All of the above, plus case investigation,

street patrols,and city defense, are the daily duties of Guardians.

Xu Qi An, are you ready?

Yes, completely.

Let's go! Today, are confiscating property,

interrogating, or delivering intelligence?

Brother Song.

As a newcomer, read the accumulated files first.

Wait. What about the Guardians' daily routines?

This is our daily routine.

Guardians' daily routine four…

Sort files.

[Sort Files]

Brother Song, I haven't finished speaking!

It's already locked.

Brother Song!

You two, please, let's discuss this.

I've just arrived, and you lock me up.

How can you be so heartless?

No negotiation. It was the leader's orders.

Just let him read files. Do not let him go anywhere.

L-Leader, isn't that too much?

What's wrong with it?

He is not one of us.

He can do it, or resign.

All right.

I see. Leader must have misunderstood.

Wait, let me out to explain.

- You've got it wrong. - He didn't misunderstand you.

He's targeting you.

Wait, trust me. I'll explain to him.

Watch your hands, your arms and elbows.

Guardians, seal this window!

Dafeng isn't worth it.

[Three Days Later]

Father, why hasn't Cousin come back after so long?

I'll check the Guardian Government Office in a bit.

They can't use people like this.

He is an adult now.

He should work hard to improve himself.

Don't worry about him.

Wait, why does that sound familiar?

Did you mention it several episodes ago?

See? I told you.

Is this Xu Qi An's home?

Yes.

I was ordered to deliver to Xu Qi An-

Files, right? Side yard.

- Come in. - Quickly come in.

Hurry up. It's late.

- This way, please. - Just make a turn there.

- Come on, quickly now. - Have some water.

- Thank you. - This way.

I'll bring some tea in a bit.

- It's getting late. - There's one more thing.

The door is closing, be careful.

I forgot about this.

We had the doors and windows nailed shut before.

But recently, his skills have improved.

You guys take a look.

If any place needs more nails, just go ahead.

- Are you his uncle by blood? - Absolutely.

I can tell. But this is your house. I'll leave it to you.

All right, I'll do it.

You truly don't want to do it?

No.

All right, I'll go handle it.

Xu Qi An, your family is truly... wonderful.

Dafeng is not worth it.

[Lakeside Pavilion]

What? Even the 10th Prince is seeking talents for the poetry event?

He is only nine years old.

What about the Imperial Academy? Did you go there?

Don't mention it, Princess.

Talents there were recruited by the Seventh Prince.

The Fourth Prince recruited the scholars from Zhiya College.

I was just about to go to Mingde College,

when I ran into a eunuch of the Eighth Prince, also recruiting talents.

What should we do?

Yunlu Academy! Let's snatch talents there from Huai Qing.

Already tried.

Got rejected?

They agreed.

Where are they?

I did not let them come.

I've seen the poetry they wrote.

True, Yunlu Academy is only good at teaching military tactics and strategic discourse.

Not proficient in poetry.

That's true.

In such a large academy, we can't even find one who can write poetry.

The poem "Farewell at Mianyang Pavilion"

was actually taken from a clerk through force.

Really?

Princess, look.

"The branches create shadows over the water." [By Yang Ling]

"A hint of fragrance lingers under the moon at dusk."

What do you think of it, Princess?

This poem…

This poem seems…

It's a masterpiece recently released from the Music Bureau.

Just half-finished, but it shook the entire poetry world of Dafeng.

Really?

I've also heard that the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the 10th Prince

all stationed people outside the Bureau for several days

to find the person who wrote the poem and recruit him.

This poem is wonderful. He's the one.

Spare no expense to find him for me.

Yes.

Hurry up.

[By Yang Ling]

Yang Ling.

All finished?

What is this?

This item is called a sticky note.

I have noted down every doubt

and my personal thoughts on the cases on it.

This way, not only are the files' pages clean and tidy [Guardians' Interrogation Records]

it'll also be easier for you both to review later.

Great idea!

Brother Song.

I've finished reading all the files,

and gone over the government office's rules many times.

Can we start carrying out official duties now?

All right.

Guang Xiao, do we have any official duties?

Yes, we do.

Of course, we do.

My good buddies.

Are you messing with me?

What do you mean "messing with you." We're good buddies.

Then what is this?

Serve the dishes.

This is the next round. This is the round after next.

This is the round after the round after the next.

One after another.

Brothers, watch your step.

You've all worked hard.

Close the door properly.

Shut it tightly. Not a single gap is allowed.

All right.

By the way, although these files are not classified,

you must keep them properly.

If someone takes a peek or they get damaged,

the government office will hold you accountable.

I…

Brother Song!

Brother Song, could you please talk to the leader or at least ask him,

when I can stop reading these files?

I can't speak on this.

Let go of my leg first.

Please speak up for me! Or I won't let go.

Locked in a dark room every day, I'm nearly depressed.

Do you know a terrible disease called nearsightedness?

Reading now makes my eyes blur.

If you don't let go, my eyes will blur. Let me go!

Help me, Brother Song.

Brother Song, aren't we good buddies?

Help me, please.

Have some sympathy for me. I won't let go. I want to carry out a mission!

- Xu Qi An! - Take me out on official duty.

- I'll use force! - Official duty!

Watch your butt!

Stairs!

Bronze Guardian Song,

Silver Guardian Li summons you.

Did you hear that? The leader is calling me.

Go back first. Or keep reviewing the files.

Bronze Guardian Xu is also summoned.

A monster appeared in Taikang County's Mount Dahuang.

It has eaten many people.

Both of you investigate it.

If its level is low, slay it on the spot.

Capital Administration will also assist us.

They are already waiting outside.

Understood.

Xu Qi An, you go along with them.

Understood.

Mount Dahuang is treacherous.

You must cooperate with each other.

Okay.

By the way...

lift your sword two inches up,

and move the Bronze Gong one inch to the left.

Go.

Even the Capital Administration specifically requested him.

What exactly is Xu Qi An's background?

Xu Qi An, what is your background?

Why did the leader suddenly change his attitude?

I don't know.

Maybe because I work hard on organizing the files without complaints.

Impossible. The leader is famous for being stubborn.

He hardly changes his mind on things he's set on.

I get it. He wants you to die out there.

You're right!

Last year, there was this Xiao something that died out there.

You took all the mountain's bamboo shoots.* (*Word play on the character "sun" meaning they're mean)

Guang Xiao, say something. I can't make up stories myself.

Greetings, Guardians.

Well, we can just use horses for fieldwork. A carriage is not needed.

As it's related to monsters, Prefect Chen invited mages from the Astronomy Bureau

to assist in the investigation.

Astronomy Bureau?

Yes.

I, Bronze Guardian Song Ting Feng, greet the Astronomy Bureau's mages.

I've heard much about you all. Each of you are outstandingly graceful.

Getting a chance to work with you all today-

Stop dawdling. Hurry up.

Xu Qi An, don't dawdle, hurry up.

All right.

Xu Qi An?

Miss Cai Wei, it's really you.

Don't ride the horse. Come sit in the carriage.

Okay.

Here, eat this.

Thanks.

- He going in. - I'm seeing it.

What's the situation?

So, you're the reason the leader sent me on official duty.

Not entirely.

Yang Yan told me you joined the Guardians.

If there are cases with Guardians, I should bring you along.

Guardian Yang?

I was curious. Why did you suddenly join the Guardians?

How does he know someone from the Astronomy Bureau?

Afraid?

I… I'm not afraid.

He has a solid background, aren't you afraid that you caused him trouble?

Don't say that. Weren't you a part of it, too?

I treated him to a meal.

Let's talk about you first.

Wasn't the silver tax case over?

Why are you still with those from the Capital Administration?

Just talking about it gets me worked up.

Chen Han Guang credited all the achievements of the case to me,

saying that I discovered Minister Zhou's embezzlement.

- Isn't that good? - What's good about it?

His Majesty decreed that I'm talented in solving cases.

He had me stay in the Capital Administration to continue investigating the case

until all the silver tax is recovered.

It's so annoying!

Who told you to stop? Go.

What do you think of their relationship?

Well, they're in the same carriage.

We've also been in the same carriage with Guardian Yang and Guardian Nan Gong.

Xu Qi An, you're something else!

You're doomed.

Xu Qi An, you're something else.

Brother Xu, how can you do that? Let me.

Sorry, I'm late.

Brother Xu, we've been traveling for so long. You must be hungry now.

I'm not hungry.

You are.

Take it.

Brother Song, why are you…

I borrowed some silver from you a few days ago.

Now I have extra money.

I want to pay you back now.

When did I lend you silver?

Think about it.

It was that time.

You remember now.

I read files every day with nowhere to spend the silver.

Just spend it. I'll help you with the files.

There's so much, can you handle it?

I can. I'll request it from the leader. Okay?

Can you lend a hand?

I must if it's you, Brother Xu. It's my duty.

Where are you? Answer me.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Use this to buy drinks for everyone tonight.

All right.

Mount Dahuang, to the north of Taikang County,

has its main peak over 1,000 meters high, stretching for over 10 kilometers.

It contains many limestone, supporting the livelihoods of thousands of families.

Since the beginning of this year, a monster was discovered in the waters near it.

It often comes ashore to devour people.

Many people have been eaten by it.

The county magistrate did not report its disturbances.

Miners continued working on the mountain.

Hence, leading to the tragedy.

It wasn't until some merchants passed through that the incident was reported to the government office.

Is this where the miners extract limestone?

Right.

Mount Dahuang has high-quality limestone and abundant iron ore.

They can be used to forge mining tools.

It's very convenient to open kilns here.

The cheap firewood and great limestone enable them to earn easily.

Therefore, the taxes are a bit high.

Banning mining would end their means of livelihood.

Heavy levies and miscellaneous taxes lead to displaced people.

People's sweat and toil are the tastiest food.

So strange.

Any findings?

Strangely, nothing is found.

I kept a lookout all the way up the mountain.

At first, I thought the overlapping mountains obstructed the view.

But look here. The signs of fighting are obvious.

Yet I can't see any demonic aura.

Guardians, there are some clues inside the cave. Let's take a look inside.

He is pretty brave.

Be careful.

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

Be careful.

Why is this kiln so deep?

It's been over an hour, and we still haven't reached the bottom.

Perhaps they're excavating for something.

Careful.

♫ I don't wish to go against the world ♫

♫ I won't risk my life for it ♫

♫ Carefree people don't fight ♫

♫ Extending a warm welcome to all ♫

♫ Want me to lose all sense of right and wrong? ♫

♫ Sorry, but I can't do that ♫

♫ No matter who comes ♫

♫ I hold great ambition ♫

♫ The weather is dry, the night is deep ♫

♫ Only I am excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ With chivalry and youth as my weapon ♫

♫ I'm like a bright mirror inlaid with swirl patterns ♫

♫ The night breeze blows through the night ♫

♫ Shallow dreams dim the glow of my lantern ♫

♫ Looking back, a haunting melody rings in my ear ♫

♫ There are people like me in this world ♫

♫ The night is long as if tomorrow is nearing ♫

♫ From now on, don't ask too many questions ♫

♫ From this moment on, I'll gallop across the vast lands ♫

♫ Wielding a sword, wearing a cloak and treading along ♫

♫ Each step I take is like a gust of wind ♫

♫ I don't wish to go against the world ♫

♫ I won't risk my life for it ♫

♫ Carefree people don't fight ♫

♫ Extending a warm welcome to all ♫

♫ Want me to lose all sense of right and wrong? ♫

♫ Sorry, but I can't do that ♫

♫ No matter who comes ♫

♫ I hold great ambition ♫

♫ The weather is dry, the night is deep ♫

♫ Only I am excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ With chivalry and youth as my weapon ♫

♫ No matter who comes ♫

♫ I hold great ambition ♫

♫ The weather is dry, the night is deep ♫

♫ Only I am excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ The youth is born to chase the wind ♫

♫ No matter who comes ♫

♫ I hold great ambition ♫

♫ The weather is dry, the night is deep ♫

♫ I'm still the only one excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ The youth is born to chase the wind ♫
