[Episode 30]

[He-Yu Clinic]

What's this new business about?

[He-Yu Clinic] The branch of He-Yu Clinic in Tianqi

is officially open today!

It's a clinic.

Let's head home.

- I need to make your father dinner. - Let's go.

Come.

- Please check this out. - Let me have a look.

We should've asked Su Changhe

to get us some shills.

Tianqi City is both happening and prosperous.

Why aren't these passersby

visiting our clinic?

It's probably because there are

way too many clinics here.

Unlike a tavern,

these people wouldn't

visit a newly opened clinic for fun.

Once it's gained its reputation,

many will come and seek our service.

Yet it takes a very long time

to gain popularity.

It took us a lot

to make that happen in Nan'an City.

And now

we're all the way here

in Tianqi City.

It's all right.

Master.

After this,

we will build a clinic

in each of the Four Greatest Cities,

including Tianqi City,

Xueyue City,

Wushuang City,

and Muliang City.

There'll be branches of He-Yu Clinic all over.

With Medicine King Valley's name on it,

I guarantee

we'll be the top clinic in the world.

By then,

even our founder

would rise from his ashes,

laughing in delight.

But the Medicine King Valley's creed

is to heal the sick.

We save lives

without expecting money in return.

Well,

instead of laughing,

he'd wake up furious.

Master.

If so,

when I become King of Medicine,

I'll change that rule.

You want to be the King of Medicine?

You sure are bolder than me.

Master.

Think about it.

Senior Brother Xin

has no disciples.

That makes me

the only heir

of Medicine King Valley.

Well,

naturally, I'll be King of Medicine.

How ambitious of you!

As expected of Su Muyu's sister.

Su Muyu.

Your sister wants to become King of Medicine.

Well,

what will you be?

When Zhaoyan becomes King of Medicine

and the clinic prospers,

naturally, I'll be...

the boss.

You really do go with the flow.

Exactly.

Yu.

If you're the boss...

Master.

Who'll be

the boss's wife?

My goodness! You...

- You must've picked that up from Su Changhe! - Master!

I've caught you red-handed!

- Master, you're mad because you're embarrassed! - Stop right there!

Help, Yu!

- Help! - Miss Bai is right.

You've gone astray.

Your master should

teach you a good lesson.

Mr. Su.

Watch your tongue!

Second Master Tu.

Congratulations on the opening.

Many thanks, Second Master Tu.

Zhaoyan.

Bring the gifts inside.

Otherwise,

Su Muyu might have them

returned.

Yes, Master.

You did us a big favor

by helping us rent this place.

As for the gifts...

Well...

I'll take them inside now.

That's my sister,

Xiao Zhaoyan.

Her surname's Xiao?

That's an influential surname

here in Tianqi City.

Zhaoyan's never been to Tianqi City.

She's not of the royal line.

Ah, I see.

Second Master.

Well,

your steps are light

and your face pale.

How about

I take your pulse?

You're our first customer,

so no consultation fee.

Nonsense!

I'm perfectly healthy!

Is that so?

Don't

your hands and feet

feel cold?

Especially at night

when your body is so cold, as if you're lying in ice.

I practice Frost Qi.

It's normal for my body to feel a bit cold.

Then why the sweating hands and feet

and sleepless nights?

Miss Bai.

Please take a look.

Miss Bai.

Well,

are my days numbered?

The root of Qi

lies in the kidneys.

And it goes back there.

It's said,

"The kidneys draw in Qi.

Your breath runs deep."

What... What does that mean?

Second Master Tu.

What my master means

is you have weak kidneys,

and you need to replenish your Qi.

Nonsense, Miss Bai!

You're talking nonsense!

All I do every day is listen to music.

How could that weaken my kidneys?

Do hear her out.

When yang energy weakens down below,

it causes cold stagnation.

When yin energy weakens down below,

it causes heat stagnation.

I don't get it, Miss Bai.

It means

there are two kinds of kidney deficiency,

which are yin deficiency

and yang deficiency.

Then which kind is mine?

Both of them.

I'm doomed.

I shouldn't have rushed it

for the past two years.

It's a minor illness.

With Miss Bai around,

you'll recover instantly.

Well,

who knew listening to music daily

could cause this kind of problem?

Who are you?

I'm Su Changhe.

You're the Patriarch of Blood River.

Pardon me for my rudeness.

I'm Tu Wan, [*Wan as in late]

and I'm a friend of Master Su.

What a nice name.

Is

Master Tu Zao [*Zao as in early]

your elder brother?

Indeed.

Our late father used to urge us

to act fast when it comes to great deeds.

So when my brother was born,

he was named Tu Zao.

My brother lived up to his name

and got famous at a young age.

At just eleven,

he killed a thug

bullying our family.

He then spent five years in prison.

From then on,

our father decided

it's better to succeed late than early.

So when I was born,

he named me Tu Wan.

Interesting.

Still, I didn't expect

the quiet and reserved

Master Su

to have friends everywhere.

Do stay for lunch.

It's all right.

Things are busy at Thousand-Gold Tower,

so I shouldn't stay for long.

I'll take my leave first.

Wait.

Thank you, Miss Bai.

Su, Patriarch, I'll excuse myself.

Second Master, I'll see you out.

Has he tried your cooking too?

Why'd he run the moment you invited him

to stay for lunch?

He must've recognized who you are

and got scared off.

When I was an undertaker,

I felt delighted

when someone

became terrified

at the mention of my name.

But now

I feel otherwise.

Muyu.

Does this mean

I'm becoming a good person?

Who said you were a bad one?

Miss Bai.

She says that all the time.

Well,

I call you

a wicked thing.

Oh, really?

So I'm not even human now?

Hell Palm!

What are you trying to do?

Your Hell Palm

is almost at its ninth level.

Yes.

It's almost there.

It's nearly as strong as Mu Ciling back then.

However,

I need to find time for seclusion

and break through the ninth level soon.

If not, with so many experts in Tianqi City,

it'll be trouble.

Su Muyu.

I've always wondered

who is stronger.

You or Su Changhe?

Naturally,

it's Yu.

Really?

Who is the Patriarch here?

Me or him?

It's you.

Then naturally, I'm stronger.

As Master said,

if it were a normal duel,

I'd have a ninety percent chance of winning.

But if it came down to life and death,

Changhe's chance of winning

would be a hundred percent.

Who was your master?

I've never heard of her.

Our master forbade us from mentioning her name.

But it doesn't matter.

What matters is what she said.

I understand what she meant.

She meant that Su Changhe

fights without holding back,

while Su Muyu

is always merciful.

That's why

Su Muyu's bound to die.

Why?

If there comes a day

when Su Muyu kills me with a single strike,

it could be because

I can't bring myself to kill him, no?

Didn't our master

say that too?

What did she say?

That's not important.

Today marks the opening of He-Yu Clinic,

so I've got you a grand gift.

Don't tell me it's another ancestral jade basin?

Calling us basins?

That's rather rude of you, Miss Bai.

Master Mu.

Miss Xuewei.

You're here in Tianqi City too?

Xuewei was full of deadly poison.

After it was purged,

she went back to the Blood River for a few days of rest.

Since she's fine now,

she's here to help you out.

But I'm no longer the Poisonous Blossom.

Can I still be of any use?

I'd say probably not.

Yet according to Qingyang,

your mastery of formations

rivals your poisoning technique.

Formations?

I know nothing about them.

Patriarch,

you must've misheard me.

I said I could set formations.

Although

Xuewei has got rid of all the poisons,

she

remains the foremost poison expert

in the Mu family.

Her poisoning technique

and my formations

will make for

the perfect gift for Miss Bai.

Therefore,

no matter what,

Miss Xuewei

had to be here

with you,

right?

The talented should work harder.

Since we're not hiding our identities

throughout this trip,

naturally, some preparations are needed

to make He-Yu Clinic

our base here.

I promised

to gift Miss Bai a Spider's Nest.

However, due to the tight schedule,

I couldn't make that happen here.

Still, we must do something.

With Qingyang and Xuewei here,

setting up formations

shouldn't be an issue.

This seems like a dangerous place to be.

Nowhere feels safer

than Nan'an City.

Dreams of the martial world

fade into the heart's stillness.

The turmoil of the court

seems but a fleeting dream.

Are you being sentimental again?

The word sentimental

is used to describe a lovelorn couple.

I'm just

missing my younger self.

Aren't you a lovelorn man?

Then where did Ling Chen come from?

And what about your Princess of Langya?

Well...

She has her own life to live.

Right.

She has her life,

and you have yours.

You should forget her

and find yourself a new Princess of Langya.

You know.

It's all your fault.

What does that have to do with me?

If Lei Mengsha hadn't fallen for you back then

and locked himself in the Sword Heart Tomb

for months on end,

I wouldn't have gotten worried

and gone looking for him.

And I wouldn't have

met her out in the martial world.

Why don't you blame Emperor Tai'an

for giving birth to you, huh?

Everything happens for a reason.

Anyway, by my guess,

she should be arriving soon.

She's coming to Tianqi City?

A sword that flies without edge

only seeks reunion.

She's really here.

You invited her?

You finally had the courage to see her.

I even dared face

Nanjue's mighty army.

Why would I fear facing her?

Are we

meeting the Blood River tomorrow?

Should we do it another day?

No need.

Canceling this first meeting

would make us seem untrustworthy.

You entertain them first.

I'll join you after that.

Sure.

[Situ Xue]

The glow of sunset reflects on the lake's ripples.

No small boat can cross it.

Only the one in my dreams can.

Your poetry

is even worse than it used to be,

Your Highness.

But I really did try my best

to dress just like I did back then.

That's the difference between us.

You try hard to look like before,

but I am

still the same as before.

No.

You're more...

Stop.

Don't you dare say I'm more beautiful now.

That's a terrible line.

I'm either in court

or on the battlefield these days.

I rarely get the chance

to say such horrible lines.

You still

have the Haoque Sword with you, no?

Like I said.

If you were a mere swordsman,

you could say such things all the time.

My master once told me

that I'd only ever have one chance to choose.

Well...

You can always choose again.

Then can I

do so later?

Tell me.

Why did you suddenly send me the missive

asking me to come to Tianqi City?

Something might happen

in Tianqi City soon.

I thought

I'd ask for your help.

I'm a wanderer,

so I don't meddle in court affairs.

I told you that years ago.

If I could have helped you,

I wouldn't have left you back then.

I hate this place.

And I hate being tied

to anything about it.

But this time

I might die.

It's like what happened then.

When you and your brother

fought for the throne,

you could've died any time.

Yet I never once came to Tianqi City

to see you.

I know.

It's just that,

if I really am in danger,

I hope

you'll take Ling Chen away.

It's exhausting

to travel with a burden.

You have so many friends.

He has better options.

He could go to Xueyue City

and persuade the greatest Baili Dongjun

to take him in.

Or he could go to Sword Heart Tomb

and become the next Sword Deity.

He could even join the Tang Clan.

I remember when he was little,

he loved tinkering

with bits and pieces.

But you

are his mother after all.

Does our blood tie

matter much?

To me,

it does.

Forget it.

If you die,

I'll get him out of Tianqi City.

Remember my condition.

Only when you die

will I take him.

He won't avenge you.

Like me,

he'll be a carefree wanderer.

That's perfect.

How troublesome.

I really regret listening to you

and coming to Tianqi City

to see you again.

Miss.

Who are you, scoundrel?

Do you have a death wish?

No... It hurts...

I just wanted to ask for directions.

Where to?

To the Sword Heart Tomb.

So you knew

this is the entrance to Sword Heart Tomb?

Looks like you're a guest here.

What brings you here?

Are you seeking a sword?

No, I have my own sword here.

My senior brother

came here on some business.

It's been months,

but he hasn't returned.

I grew worried,

so I came to find him.

May I take a look at your sword?

I've never seen such a fine sword.

I've never seen its like

even at Sword Heart Tomb.

What's the name of this sword?

And where did you get it?

It's called

Autumn Thunder.

It's a family heirloom of mine.

Autumn Thunder...

I've never heard of it.

How skilled are you?

I'm decent enough.

Draw your sword on me.

Why?

Just do it.

I'm not afraid.

Come on.

Golden Light Shield?

You're from the Situ family?

You're pretty knowledgeable,

but you tend to dawdle.

Do it already!

Sure!

Nice.

What a fine sword.

How strong its sword energy is.

Miss!

♪When we meet again, may our first glance be as it was before♪

♪Ask not of joy or sorrow in this world, speak only of our heart's desire♪

♪Hear the free wind's song, hear the snow fall upon my battle robes…♪

Miss...

Are you all right?

That was a nice move.

What's its name?

It's known as

The World's Third.

That's an odd name.

What does it mean?

My master once claimed that,

when it comes to swordsmanship,

he is

second to none.

I admit I'll never surpass him.

So I created this technique

to rank just beneath my master.

Hence, I named it The World's Third.

Not bad.

From now on, you'll be The World's Third.

Your master will be The World's Second.

And I

am The World's Number One!

Miss!

Your sword's mine now!

Come if you want it back!

Miss!

Take it back.

You chased me for a whole day and night

over this stupid sword.

Miss.

This sword is my family heirloom.

I really can't give it away.

Once I get to the Sword Heart Tomb,

I'll get you a famous sword instead.

What say you?

Really?

You're not lying to me?

I am

a man of my word.

Look at me.

It's so hot.

Yes, it's kind of warm.

I'm going to cool myself off.

Miss!

It's still hot.

What should we do?

Well,

I've cooled down now.

I have an idea.

Let's get married.

You'll marry into my family

with the Autumn Thunder being your dowry.

From now on,

what's yours is mine.

Miss.

Are you trying to make me a live-in son-in-law?

Why?

Am I not pretty enough?

What's your name?

I'm Xiao Ruofeng.

I'm Situ Xue.

Oh, right.

Why didn't you answer

my first question?

Am I

not pretty?

You're stunning.

It's settled, then!

Father.

I've brought my husband home.

Stop right there.

What took you so long?

After leaving the Sword Heart Tomb,

we went to Guiyun Manor

for the Liquor and Sword Gathering.

And we even won first place.

We then went to Mount Xingwang

and destroyed the Lianhuo Stronghold.

After that, we traveled back to Mount Qilei

by home.

That brat over there.

Let me take a look

at that sword in your hand.

Sure.

Father.

That's his dowry.

It belongs to me and him.

It's the Haoque Sword.

What?

One of the ten legendary swords,

the Haoque Sword?

It truly is a fine sword.

However,

I'm afraid

none of us in this family

are able to wield it.

Young man.

What's your name?

I am Xiao Ruofeng.

As I thought.

You're of the Xiao imperial line.

Xue.

Are you trying

to bring a prince home?

I don't blame you

for keeping that from me.

After all, we met by chance

in the martial world.

It was only natural for you

to be cautious.

But I'm a wanderer.

And I hate everything about the court.

So...

I won't accept

this sword.

You're a prince,

yet you came to Mount Qilei every month.

Don't you have better things to do?

[Tea]

Waiter.

Miss?

A pot of Peach Blossom Liquor.

Coming right up.

Hold on.

Sir?

Make it two pots.

Right away.

Please wait a moment.

You might catch a chill.

Would you put down this umbrella

and spend this winter day with me?

Sure.

I hate the court and its power struggle,

but I don't hate you.

What a nuisance.

I'll be generous

and allow you to visit me often.

But if you ever become one of those

scheming, power-hungry men

who have no sense of righteousness,

I'll stop being kind to you.

Deal.

You have one year.

If you can stay in the martial world,

then we'll roam the world together.

But if you choose to return to the imperial city,

then

we part ways for good.

Neither of us will be happy again.

This is Su Muyu, head of the Su family.

I bet you all know him well.

This

is Mu Qingyang, head of the Mu family.

You must have met him many times, Guardian Azure Dragon.

And this...

Of course,

she isn't the Xie family head.

She's a dear friend and a sister in arms

of the Blood River.

She's Bai Hehuai, a miracle physician

from Medicine King Valley.

I'm Bai Hehuai of Medicine King Valley.

Greetings, fellow Guardians.

In terms of seniority,

you're the most senior

among us.

So just spare the formalities.

Master Xie.

Why is Xie Qidao not here?

Someone needs to guard the main hall of Blood River.

Uncle Qidao is both respected

and decisive.

He'll stay there

to act as Patriarch.

Where is Prince of Langya?

You seem impatient, Master Su.

If we don't start soon,

the food will go cold.

Let me offer you all a toast.

His Highness didn't mean to be late.

Something urgent just came up.

If it's that urgent,

it must concern the fate of the world.

Then let's wait for him.

Indeed.

I'm sure it's not some romantic affair.

It's understandable.

Please.

They're already at Fengxue Tower.

Yet Prince of Langya hasn't shown up.

Correct.

It seems like Prince of Langya

doesn't intend to cooperate with them.

Wait a little longer.

Yes, sir.

Report, General.

The First Prince's guests

are entering Tianqi City.

One of them are already at the manor.

Who is it?

General Dian.

It's been a while.

The Blade Ghost of Nanjue?

Why?

[Xu Liuyun, Blade Ghost of Nanjue ]

I'm not welcome here?

Mr. Xu, since you came all the way here,

you deserve

a cup of tea.

Why invite him?

Mr. Xu

is always into the way of martial arts.

He's longed to witness the Heaven-Splitting Blade Technique.

I invited him here

simply out of appreciation for his talent.

There are no boundaries between nations.

Just like how I admire

Ms Night Crow's medical skills.

The Heaven-Splitting Blade Technique

was kept by Mr. Li of the Academy.

He then gifted it

to Xiao Ruofeng,

who was the Ninth Prince then.

When this is over,

Prince of Langya's treasures

will be mine.

Uncle Ye.

Don't just stand there.

Looks like Prince of Langya

has made up his mind.

If so, Muyu...

Let's go.

Miss Bai.

Looks like we won't have time

to make He-Yu Clinic famous in Tianqi.

We're leaving tomorrow.

Come.

You can't go.

Why?

Are you

going to take credit

for capturing us?

Tell me

how to undo the puppet spell.

I have to save my senior brother.

Lianyue.

Calm yourself.

Everyone.

We indeed

have a favor to ask of you.

Right now, the only one who can save Tang Linghuang

is Physician Bai from Medicine King Valley.

We're being sincere here.

You expect us to help just like that?

We already helped your clan once.

Yet your clan

is more corrupt

than any heretical sect.

Whether Tang Linghuang lives or dies,

what's it to us?

Move aside!

Stop!

So this is Blood River's ultimate art,

the Hell Palm.

It's certainly

extraordinary.

Your Highness, you're late.

What great state affair

kept you so long?

If you had told us about it,

we wouldn't have waited this long.

We would've left anyway.

It wasn't some state affair.

Just a matter

of the heart.

Then it was worth waiting for.

It was worth it.

Miss Bai,

what's wrong?

Nothing.

Your Highness,

you seem a bit tired.

Shall I write a prescription

to help regulate your health?

Thank you, Miss Bai.

But there's no need for that.

Everyone,

please.

So, friends of the Blood River,

what is it you wish to discuss with us?

Since Changhe

took over as our patriarch,

we've reorganized the Three Families,

leveled the Soul Reapers' Hall,

and cut off

Shadow Sect's interference.

Now, we're

a purely martial sect.

But after all those years,

we left the world

with too dark a legacy.

It's not easy to step out

of the shadows.

We had planned to work with the Tang Clan,

using their reputation

to clear obstacles for us.

We had already

reached an agreement with Tang Linghuang.

However, the Tang Clan fell into corruption.

Tang Lingzun led a revolt

and ruined our plan.

We helped them for nothing.

Your Highness.

Tell me, who's the righteous one

and who's the evil one here?

Well,

why didn't you go to Xueyue City?

It's the top sect

in the martial world today.

Your Highness is insightful.

If you ask me,

we should just challenge them.

Beat their three city lords

to a pulp.

After that,

who'd care

what the world thinks?

We'd be number one!

Who are you planning to beat to a pulp?

Changhe.

Stop talking.

Fine.

Go on.

We

were born

as swords in others' hands.

But now we refuse

to be anyone's pawn.

Thus, Xueyue City

isn't the right choice.

So

you ended up

choosing me.

You're the foremost warrior of Beili

and the top man in court.

Your brilliance

is enough

to light our path forward.

You wish to use His Highness' name

to gain recognition for the Blood River?

You could say so.

It's

a win-win situation.

We'll rescue Tang Linghuang,

get rid of the the puppet poison in his body,

and eliminate Night Crow.

As for the one behind her,

they're likely of the imperial line.

We'll help Your Highness

wipe their power from the realm.

That's our offer.

We wonder

if it's enough for you.
