[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 4]

Tang Rou, I'll go save the others first.

I probably won't need the entire jar of Nether Dew.

Your sister wants Nether Dew as a gift,

but she doesn't necessarily need the whole jar, right?

That's right, Fang.

You'd better not play tricks on me.

[Wonder Liquor Inn]

Big Brother.

Chaoran, Yuhan.

Let's go upstairs to detoxify Mr. Feng first.

Fang.

Just help Big Brother

remove the Silver Butterfly Dart, okay?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's begin.

Before removing the dart, let's talk.

I have nothing to talk about with you.

Fine. Let's not talk then.

I'm warning you—

Rou is innocent and trusting.

He keeps calling you Big Brother now.

I'm afraid he's been thoroughly deceived by you.

I don't care what happened between you two before,

but stay away from Rou from now on.

Alright.

Smart choice.

I do agree,

but whether Rou wants to follow me or not

isn't up to me.

You have to ask him.

Don't worry about that. Just keep your promise.

Your set of tools looks well-prepared.

You must be rather experienced

in removing darts, aren't you?

If the dart were shot by me, you'd be dead by now.

There wouldn't be any chance to remove it.

Take a look.

What do you think of this one that's three inches long?

What do you mean what I think?

Why ask me that?

Scared?

Me, scared? Let's get on with it.

Wait, that's not right.

There's still more in there.

A month from now,

if you have no more entanglements with Rou,

I'll remove the other dart.

You lowlife.

Blame the way of the world.

Big Brother!

Big Brother.

It went great.

Mr. Feng's poison has been neutralized.

Fang.

Give me the rest of the Nether Dew.

Well, Fang,

the wine is all gone.

Are you messing with me?

Blame the way of the world, I guess?

Why the glare? You were the one who was unkind from the start.

Big Brother! You...

What exactly do you want?

My Silver Butterfly Dart has its body and wings connected.

It's up to you whether you want to suffer the consequences.

You're skilled at brewing, right?

Reproduce a jar of Nether Dew for me.

I'll be checking it tonight.

If it's not convincing enough,

you can find out what happens.

Are you okay, Big Brother?

Does it hurt?

Of course it hurts.

Tang Rou,

can you remove the remaining dart

for me?

It really hurts so much.

I can't, Big Brother.

In our Tang Sect, everyone's hidden weapons

have their own unique style.

Besides,

Fang is so skilled.

If I interfere rashly,

your arm will be permanently damaged.

What should we do then?

What choice do we have?

Time to start blending the wine.

["Red Phoenix" Song Mingzhu of Power Gang]

Master.

It's my fault for failing to assist you in time, Master.

I never expected such a traitor to appear

within our Power Gang.

Has the poison in your body been completely cured, Master?

Otherwise, I would never forgive myself.

You've always been closest to Purple Phoenix.

Did you not notice anything unusual about her?

I, Song Mingzhu, swear to heaven

that my loyalty to you is absolute, Master.

If you have even the slightest suspicion of me, Master,

please kill me now.

I haven't killed you yet,

so there's no need to say more.

[A few days ago at Changle Escort Agency]

Zheng Kaiyang, where is Old Madam Wu?

[Zheng Kaiyang, Changle Escort Agency]

[Purple Phoenix, Power Gang]

Hand over the Hero Command Token,

and I shall leave your body intact!

Purple Phoenix, your Power Gang has gone too far!

Today, our Changle Escort Agency will fight you to the death!

Liu Suifeng?

[Liu Suifeng, Deputy Chief of Power Gang]

Greetings, Deputy Chief Liu.

You couldn't even handle a mere Changle Escort Agency?

Please forgive me, Deputy Chief Liu.

Purple Phoenix, remember this:

I never give anyone a second chance.

Yes.

Go! Hurry up! Move!

-Move! -Father!

-Father! -Father!

Liu Suifeng!

Father!

-Father! -Father!

Let me go!

Give him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Start with his eldest son.

Father!

Father!

I didn't take the Hero's Token.

I really didn't take it!

Deputy Chief Liu.

Zheng Kaiyang confessed.

But the one with the token's not here.

On their escort route,

they found Old Madam Wu

and did want to steal the Hero Command Token from her.

However, Zhang Linyi,

the Yin-Yang Divine Swordsman accompanying Old Madam Wu got suspicious.

Once they entered Jinzhong, they lost track of them.

But it's said that Old Madam Wu

boarded the carriage of Huanhua Sect.

Huanhua Sect?

We also found the Marching Pills,

supposedly meant for the Northern Wastelanders.

Purple Phoenix.

Who bribed you

to take my life?

How did you know...

How did you know I was going to poison you?

You came all this way to kill me

and even brought my favorite Qishan Cuimei tea.

You think only the tea was poisoned?

Fifth Master Liu, you're immune to all poisons,

but whenever you encounter Marching Pills,

you'll definitely take them.

So in this Marching Pill,

I infused the non-toxic poison,

the Noxious Beetles.

You think I'm the only one in Power Gang

who wants you dead?

Who's there?

Feng Lang?

He called me "lucky bag."

Get up.

I never thought that in the midst of fleeing the chase,

I casually killed someone and took their place,

yet Xiao Qiushui would trust me so completely.

Song Mingzhu.

Do you know what kind of identity

is referred to as "lucky bag" in the martial world?

I've never heard of it.

Could it be some official title?

Xiao Qiushui kept calling me that.

I wonder what he meant.

Anyway,

with this identity,

I can enter the Xiao family before Sword King.

All his schemes

to have Purple Phoenix come kill me were in vain.

Master, you mean

Purple Phoenix attacked you on Sword King's orders?

Whoever gets the Hero Command Token for Chief

will earn great merit,

and Sword King and I have never gotten along.

If he gets it,

he'll naturally use it against me.

Yet, as it turns out,

he has unwittingly delivered me a masterstroke.

You're blessed with great fortune, Master,

having met that guy from the Xiao family.

I heard they formed

something called Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood.

Always talking about chivalry. How ridiculous.

In this martial world,

the word "righteousness" has long since died.

They're just a bunch of hypocrites,

chasing profit yet too ashamed to admit it.

Sooner or later, they'll kneel before our Power Gang.

The Huanhua Sect is easy to defend but hard to attack.

Using this identity to go with Xiao Qiushui

will truly make things much easier.

The Hero's Token

will soon be in your possession, Master.

Then you can bring the Xiao family under your control.

Let's see how that Sword King can fight against you then.

The Xiao family doesn't deserve to be under my command.

I still have a score to settle with them.

By the way,

don't let Sword King know of my whereabouts.

This Xiao Qiushui does resemble Chief somewhat.

In our gang, only the Eight Kings

have seen the true faces of me and Chief.

Even if the Eight Kings see him,

they won't mistake him for Chief.

No need to report this.

Just wait for my instructions.

Got it.

I'll wait near Huanhua Sect for your message, Master.

Big Brother.

What do you think of this?

I think this is pretty good.

Thank you all for saving me.

Mr. Feng, seeing you like this,

are you feeling better?

I'm much better now. I can't thank you enough.

Don't mention it, Mr. Feng.

Our Big Brother

was actually looking for someone named Feng Lang.

We never expected to really find you.

I'm just a nobody not worth mentioning.

I spoke ill before,

Mr. Xiao, yet you didn't take offense

and even saved me multiple times. I'm truly grateful for that.

Should you ever require my service in the future, I shall not refuse.

That's not important.

What matters is...

Do you consider me a friend?

Do you now consider me your best friend?

Mr. Xiao, you're my close friend.

Alright.

That's good then.

Actually, it's quite a coincidence.

After much effort, the Iron-Clad Constable entrusted someone to find my master,

asking me to deliver a letter to him at Huanhua Sect.

It just so happens I can travel with you, Mr. Xiao

Y-You've just recovered from poisoning.

There must still be some residual toxins in your body.

How about this?

Come back with me to Huanhua Sect,

and I'll find someone to help clear the remaining poison from your body.

What do you think?

Okay.

Where's my wine?

If there's no wine, nobody leaves.

Fang.

Wait here.

Can this wine fool her, Big Brother?

Feng, please don't be angry.

You're already injured,

and now you've caught a cold from the water.

It'll get worse if we don't treat it.

Here's the medicine. Come on, take it.

Are you Tang Fang from the Tang Sect?

And who are you?

I am Feng Lang, the owner of the Rain Sword.

So you're that sickly fellow who used up all the Nether Dew.

Let me tell you, you're part of this too.

Fang.

Your wine.

Fang!

You're fooling me. It's all fake!

Tang Fang, I've put up with you long enough.

If it weren't for Tang Rou's sake...

Let me tell you.

If it weren't for you all,

I would have already knocked the Omniscience Door open.

Keep brewing. If you can't get it done, don't sleep.

Miss.

You're heading to the Omniscience Door

to consult Jade Cicada,

hoping to gain some insight into the martial world, right?

Perhaps I can be of assistance.

You?

I'm somewhat acquainted with Jade Cicada.

Give him this jade pendant,

and he'll speak once.

Just this one jade pendant

to make Jade Cicada speak?

You must be a fraud too, aren't you?

I'm about to go to Huanhua Sect with Mr. Xiao.

If this doesn't work,

you can come find me.

That's better than wasting time here.

Fine.

Huanhua Sect is not far from our Tang Sect.

You won't get away.

Hold on.

My friend helped you. You should return the favor, don't you think?

Fang, your Silver Butterfly Dart is going deeper and deeper.

If you don't remove it now,

Big Brother will truly be injured.

Tang Rou, friends like these

are best avoided.

I'll take you home as soon as I finish my business.

Fang...

Big Brother, are you okay?

Seriously, still touching me?

Sorry, I won't touch you again.

Bear with it. It'll stop hurting soon.

Don't worry. It's no big deal.

This Jade Cicada

can gather information from the martial world.

That does sound impressive.

Mr. Feng, how did you come to know him?

By chance, just like you and me.

We were strangers just days ago,

and now we're friends, aren't we?

I see.

Well, I have a problem now.

My brother Yiren

will soon become the young sect leader of Huanhua Sect.

Mr. Feng,

how should I compete with him for this position?

You want to be the leader of Huanhua Sect?

That's right.

You're far behind your brother.

However, there's a rule in Jinzhong

that if a young hero

can get a recommendation from a renowned master in the martial world,

they can challenge the successor.

A renowned master in the martial world...

Got it.

[Omniscience Door]

This is Tang Fang of the Tang Sect, requesting to see Master Yu.

I have something of your old friend.

Please grant me a single word, Sir.

Indeed, that's Master's style.

Since you're a friend of Master's,

go ahead and ask.

Where exactly is the Voidheart Codex?

In the Xiao Residence of Huanhua Sect.

The Xiao Residence.

So the rumors are true.

Old Madam Wu is indeed hiding in the Xiao Residence.

Greetings, Old Madam Wu.

Please, have a seat.

Old Madam Wu, are you feeling better?

[Old Madam Wu]

I'm deeply grateful that you two

have allowed me to take refuge here.

Just some old ailments, nothing worth mentioning.

Old Madam Wu.

I've received a secret letter from General Wu Jie.

In seven days,

he'll send someone to Tongfu Inn in Lingliang Town.

[Zhang Linyi, Yin-Yang Divine Swordsman]

At that time,

my wife and I

will secretly escort you to town

to meet with the General.

Thank you both for your trouble.

Ever since Crazy Yan

entrusted me with the Hero Command Token,

the martial world has seen much bloodshed.

Even with Mr. Zhang protecting me,

I've faced danger many times.

Thanks to your Xiao family's chivalry,

letting me hide in the Huanhua Sect.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the Hero's Token would have fallen into the wrong hands.

Old Madam Wu, please don't say such things.

This is simply

our duty as martial artists.

Secrets cannot be kept in the martial world.

I'm not sure whether me hiding in the Xiao family

can be kept secret for the remaining seven days.

Old Madam Wu, let the martial world handle its own troubles.

You needn't worry.

We'll take care of

everything.

[Huanhua Sect]

I grounded you,

yet you went out causing trouble.

Seems I was too lenient.

You're forcing me to punish you with our family law,

aren't you?

Come on, bend over!

Father.

I-I didn't go out to cause trouble this time.

I had important business to deal with.

You?

What important business?

Being a hero, of course.

You? Being a hero?

Making up stories, huh?

What a nice story! Keep making things up, huh?

Father, seriously, please don't hit me!

Look, good deeds are usually done anonymously,

and those who seek recognition rarely do good, right?

Really? You've really made something of yourself, haven't you?

Fine. I'll grant your wish.

Father!

Stop hitting him!

Stop hitting him!

That's enough! What are you doing?

What am I doing? I'm disciplining him.

He just got back and you're already hitting him.

Your sister gathered some rehmannia from the back mountain.

I've already told the kitchen staff

to make some chicken soup

for your friends.

Why are you still standing there?

Go help in the kitchen.

Come on.

Where is he going?

I'm disciplining him.

You keep spoiling him like this,

making him more and more reckless!

You don't understand the situation at all.

Qiushui really wasn't messing around this time.

I've already asked Yuhan and the others.

They did go to watch dragon boat races in Zihui.

But think about it.

Honoring Qu Yuan on the Dragon Boat Festival

is just a folk custom.

Don't you remember that you'd go every year

when you were young?

One year, you even fell into the river,

and I was the one who pulled you out.

Don't bring up me falling into the river when I was young.

Every time you mention this, it's about me falling into the river.

Do I have any dignity left?

Well, did you fall into the river or not?

Do you know that

he even lost his sword?

A swordsman who lost his sword.

What kind of image is that?

How can I not discipline him?

I...

Who allowed you to stand up?

-Kneel! -I told him to stand up.

You... Kneel!

Get out of my way.

You...

Hit me instead!

How could you let him stand up?

-Move. -Then hit me instead.

Get out of my way!

Kneel!

Hit me instead!

Hey, you...

Mother.

Don't think I wouldn't dare!

Mr. Xiao.

Sorry we didn't welcome you properly.

The vigor with which you lecture your son,

it's been ages since we've seen such a display.

Youthful impulsiveness isn't a major fault.

Greetings, Mr. Xiao.

Alright, Mr. Xiao.

Let's go have some drinks.

That's what really matters.

Senior, please calm down.

The ceremony to appoint the young sect leader of Huanhua Sect

Is ready outside.

We have many things to attend to soon.

Qiushui, come on.

Come thank all your uncles.

We'll leave then.

What are you standing there for? Let's go.

Mother, I want to be the young sect leader.

[Zhu Xiawu, Iron-Clad Constable, Liushan Sect]

[Kang Jiesheng, son of Kang Chuyu] [Kang Chuyu, Sun-Gazing Divine Swordsman]

Qiushui, what are you talking about?

You want to compete with your brother?

Don't be ridiculous. Leave now.

Qiushui.

Did you hear me?

You're making me angry again.

I, Xiao Qiushui, wish to compete for the position of Huanhua's young leader.

It so happens that you're all here, uncles.

Could you please recommend me?

Qiushui.

I'm not joking.

I sincerely ask you seniors to give me a chance.

You're indeed full of vigor, young man.

But do you know

the position of young sect leader has long been decided?

Actually, I think

we can take our time to consider this matter further.

Qiushui, my wise nephew,

there's no need for haste.

No, Uncle.

I really can't wait.

Dear uncles,

if only one of you would recommend me

and give me a letter of recommendation.

Please consider me.

Give me a chance, will you?

Qiushui, it's not that we're unwilling,

but Yiren truly deserves the position.

In five years, I believe you'll be ready to challenge.

Five years?

You must be kidding.

Qiushui, stop messing around.

Leave now.

We still have important matters to discuss.

Reflect on the mistakes you made today.

-Let's go, Qiushui. -Father.

-Qiushui. -Leave now!

-Let's go. -Mother.

Come on, get up.

Let's go.

We're leaving.

We'll talk about it later.

Uncle.

Let's go.

My unruly son has made a fool of himself.

Please, sit down.

Come on, please.

Please.

What's wrong?

Is your shoulder injured?

Mother, I'm fine.

Let me see.

Mother, it's really nothing.

Mother, I won't make you angry anymore.

I won't get into fights recklessly either.

Do you think I'm angry because you fought?

I'm angry because you were being reckless.

In the martial world, fighting is common.

But being reckless can cost you your life.

I want my son

to learn to say it hurts when he's injured

and learn to run when he can't win.

Don't try to be a hero, understand?

I'll remember that.

Don't worry.

I'm quick when it comes to running for my life.

But I never thought

our Qiushui would have such ideas.

Although it's quite unrealistic,

I really like it.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I forgot.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

You must be hungry. I'll make you some noodles.

Wait here.

Mother.

I will definitely change our Xiao family's fate.

When you were sick as a child,

you loved this the most.

Eat up.

Mingming.

Here.

The noodles are ready.

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Qiushui?

Are my noodles that delicious?

It's just I haven't tasted this flavor for too long.

Silly boy.

Didn't I make this for you just last month?

If you like it,

I'll make it

for you every day.

Thank you, Mother.

I've already instructed the kitchen staff.

Tonight, let's treat your friends

to a grand feast.

Alright.

You aim to be the young sect leader.

Come on, eat up.

I will.

This is indeed the Marching Pill.

After taking the Marching Pill,

one feels no hunger or thirst, but becomes violent and frenzied.

More than a decade ago,

Baicao Valley created this pill.

They attempted to give it to the Northern Wastelanders

to bring calamity to Daxi.

We righteous sects joined forces

to eliminate them

and destroyed all Marching Pills.

I never expected that after all these years,

someone would create this thing again.

It must be the remnants of Baicao Valley.

If the Northern Wasteland obtains this evil thing again,

it will surely cause turmoil in Daxi.

I think

we should send some people

to investigate in Guangling.

I recall the Xiao family has another residence in Guangling.

Please make plans immediately, Mr. Xiao.

I'll have things arranged tomorrow.

Big Brother, you've lost weight recently.

Aunt, please eat more.

Do you know how long I've been waiting?

-Finally, this day has come. -Here.

Thank you.

Then eat more.

You know what?

Especially this sweet bamboo shoots with pork.

It's my favorite.

I think you're wrong about that.

Every dish Aunt makes

is something I've been longing for.

You're always such a sweet-talker.

Eat more.

Our Qiushui

was raised strictly by his father.

I was worried

that he'd become timid and fearful.

Thankfully, he has good friends like you,

running wild together with him.

Here, I'd like to toast to you all.

-Cheers, Aunt. -Cheers, Aunt.

Is "running wild" a compliment or criticism?

That's just how our family talks.

Come on, cheers.

-Cheers. -Let's get hammered today.

Youth is meant for being wild.

Thanks.

Come on, Aunt, try some too.

I'll help myself.

Feng Lang, Mr. Feng.

I just heard from Iron-Clad Constable

that you've been a great help to him this time.

Meeting you today,

you're truly a fine and accomplished gentleman.

Come on, let me toast you as well.

Mrs. Xiao, you flatter me.

Rain Sword, your lightness skill is exceptional.

You raced against a fine horse for a day and night without losing.

That's how you became famous.

Mrs. Xiao, you're mistaken.

Jiangnan is rich in waters.

The thing I raced against was a small boat.

Qiushui.

Look at me.

I'm getting old and my memory is failing.

So, Mr. Feng, what poison were you struck with?

Mother, it was the Noxious Beetles.

The Noxious Beetles are truly rare.

I wonder

why the Power Gang

would poison you like this, Mr. Feng?

I told Xiao about this before.

I saw something I shouldn't have.

Have you heard about the massacre at Changle Escort Agency?

It happened a few days ago. Everyone in Jinzhong is talking about it.

I was there on the day of the massacre.

I was planning to hire Changle Escort Agency for a job.

But unexpectedly, I ran into Power Gang committing the crime.

Although I managed to escape,

I was still poisoned.

I heard Liu Suifeng from the Power Gang was also there that day.

To survive an encounter with that villain

is truly remarkable, Mr. Feng.

Feng Lang.

What were you hiring the Changle Escort Agency to transport?

The letter my master asked me to deliver to Iron-Clad Constable.

I did escape by sheer luck,

but I think I heard

that the Power Gang's massacre

was to find someone important.

I wonder if any of you

have heard any rumors on the road.

I haven't heard anything about that.

The Changle Escort Agency is in Jinzhong.

Could that important person also be in Jinzhong?

Aunt, your Huanhua Sect has extensive connections in Jinzhong.

Have you heard of

any important figures coming?

I haven't.

These trivial matters of the martial world are such a mood killer.

Let's not talk about it today.

Today, let's just drink to our heart's content!

Right, drink to our heart's content.

Drink to our heart's content.

Come on, let's drink to our heart's content.

Cheers!

Come, let's drink up. Cheers!

-Bottoms up. -Cheers, Big Brother.

Thank you for your hospitality, Aunt!

Thanks for having us.
