00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,180
[Episode 14]

2
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:46,072
Only He Bo and his death soldiers

3
00:01:46,072 --> 00:01:47,900
can enter or exit this secret tunnel.

4
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,659
Where exactly this tunnel leads

5
00:01:49,659 --> 00:01:52,500
and what dangers lie ahead are unknown.

6
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,711
You sure?

7
00:01:56,820 --> 00:01:58,600
Thank you again, Moon Envoy,

8
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,820
for helping me.

9
00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:08,820
Once I go inside,

10
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:10,179
you should leave immediately.

11
00:02:10,179 --> 00:02:13,112
Lest you and Hanshui Palace get involved.

12
00:02:19,899 --> 00:02:21,807
Brother Zhan,

13
00:02:25,780 --> 00:02:27,810
please be very careful.

14
00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:23,140
Greetings, He Bo.

15
00:05:37,419 --> 00:05:38,681
Rise.

16
00:05:38,681 --> 00:05:41,859
[Soaring to the Heavens]

17
00:05:41,859 --> 00:05:45,019
Those people from the Yunying Sect...
have they not succeeded yet?

18
00:05:45,019 --> 00:05:48,321
He Bo, they have already returned.

19
00:05:51,869 --> 00:05:54,470
[Soaring to the Heavens]

20
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:00,580
Tang Sect and Shengyun Stronghold

21
00:06:00,580 --> 00:06:02,860
have fought over the Chang Hong Bi.

22
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:04,059
I thought it was

23
00:06:04,059 --> 00:06:08,540
due to the long-standing feud between them.

24
00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:10,739
It turns out

25
00:06:10,739 --> 00:06:14,780
the Tang Sect was acting on your orders.

26
00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:16,059
He Bo,

27
00:06:16,059 --> 00:06:18,179
you ordered your subordinates

28
00:06:18,179 --> 00:06:21,179
to challenge every major sect.

29
00:06:21,179 --> 00:06:24,520
Any sect leader who refused to be driven by you

30
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,819
ended up killed by you.

31
00:06:27,819 --> 00:06:31,299
You have been so calculating

32
00:06:31,299 --> 00:06:33,059
all for the sake of

33
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:35,540
dominating the martial world, right?

34
00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:39,379
Since you know
the fate of those stubborn fools, Chief Jiao,

35
00:06:39,379 --> 00:06:40,699
you should understand that

36
00:06:40,699 --> 00:06:42,299
sparing your life

37
00:06:42,299 --> 00:06:45,204
is already an act of great mercy.

38
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:49,120
You...

39
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,420
You dare to dream
of unifying the martial world,

40
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:55,580
but why

41
00:06:55,580 --> 00:06:58,619
do you not dare to show your true face,

42
00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:00,802
Jing Yi Ming?

43
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,299
I heard you spent years

44
00:07:33,299 --> 00:07:34,819
studying this sword technique.

45
00:07:34,819 --> 00:07:36,900
Yet, it only took me seven days

46
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,819
to find the weakness of it.

47
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:41,580
It seems the famous Shengyun Stronghold

48
00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:43,460
will fall into ruin under your leadership.

49
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:48,139
Enough talk. Kill me if you want to.

50
00:07:49,139 --> 00:07:51,619
You are a renowned figure.

51
00:07:51,619 --> 00:07:54,259
It would be a pity to kill you.

52
00:07:54,259 --> 00:07:56,379
With the birthday banquet approaching,

53
00:07:56,379 --> 00:07:57,900
I will give you two choices.

54
00:07:57,900 --> 00:07:59,059
First,

55
00:07:59,059 --> 00:08:01,619
persuade those old fogies,

56
00:08:01,619 --> 00:08:04,819
and make them willing to serve under me.

57
00:08:04,819 --> 00:08:07,020
Second, you become like them.

58
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:08,660
Be a walking dead,

59
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:10,699
and eliminate those stubborn fools

60
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:13,299
one by one.

61
00:08:13,299 --> 00:08:15,220
Which path do you choose?

62
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:16,939
It's entirely up to you,

63
00:08:16,939 --> 00:08:18,299
Chief Jiao.

64
00:08:18,299 --> 00:08:20,739
What if I choose neither?

65
00:08:20,739 --> 00:08:24,929
What can you do to me?

66
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:29,739
It seems Chief Jiao has made his choice.

67
00:08:29,739 --> 00:08:32,786
Once you ingest this Yemotian Poison,

68
00:08:32,786 --> 00:08:35,000
there is no turning back.

69
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,483
Once it enters your body,
it seeps into the heart and mind,

70
00:08:38,483 --> 00:08:40,299
and will cause constant hallucinations.

71
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,739
From now on, you will only obey
the sound of the bell.

72
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:46,179
Even if I order you to kill yourself,
you will not hesitate.

73
00:08:46,179 --> 00:08:48,020
What an ingenious drug.

74
00:08:48,020 --> 00:08:50,379
Its antidote is the poison itself.

75
00:08:50,379 --> 00:08:52,580
Only by taking Yemotian Poison again

76
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:54,100
can the hallucinations be suppressed.

77
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,660
A short cure that rots the mind.

78
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:59,379
Each dose leaves you more witless than before.

79
00:08:59,379 --> 00:09:01,340
<i>A few days ago, he disguised himself
as me and went to the island.</i>

80
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:03,260
<i>He tricked my brothers
into drinking the poison.</i>

81
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:04,861
<i>The poison isn't lethal,</i>

82
00:09:04,861 --> 00:09:07,220
<i>but it makes one lose their mind
and suffer hallucinations.</i>

83
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:09,140
<i>Where did you hide the Yicheng magistrate?</i>

84
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:11,100
<i>You are truly determined to work for Zhi Hua.</i>

85
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,223
<i>Where did you hide the Yicheng magistrate?</i>

86
00:09:13,223 --> 00:09:15,020
<i>Bai Yu Tang,</i>

87
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:16,860
<i>don't take a step you cannot undo.</i>

88
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:19,805
<i>Then I shall find him myself.</i>

89
00:09:24,299 --> 00:09:26,320
<i>Be quiet.</i>

90
00:09:37,379 --> 00:09:38,619
Jiao Chao Gui,

91
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:40,780
you should think this through.

92
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,499
A great leader of Shengyun Stronghold.

93
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:44,460
Is this how you want to end?

94
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:47,894
With no honor?

95
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,499
Zhan Zhao,

96
00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:26,460
I know why you're here.

97
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:29,100
You are here to save her.

98
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:42,419
I've long heard
the Southern Knight's skill is unmatched.

99
00:10:42,419 --> 00:10:43,840
I'd like to test that for myself.

100
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,980
If you can defeat me today,

101
00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:49,330
you may take her with you.

102
00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:35,220
Zhan Zhao.

103
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:37,340
You learned it from the swordsman, Xia Yu Qi.

104
00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:39,300
His swordsmanship is almost unrivaled,

105
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:42,350
but there are still a few flaws.

106
00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:20,379
He Bo,

107
00:12:20,379 --> 00:12:22,860
the outcome of our duel has been decided.

108
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:25,020
Continue?

109
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:00,180
Zhan Zhao,

110
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:04,330
what do you think of my Dragon Roar Swordplay?

111
00:13:07,739 --> 00:13:10,659
You may have stolen techniques
from countless masters.

112
00:13:10,659 --> 00:13:12,379
But you know the moves,

113
00:13:12,379 --> 00:13:14,670
not the meaning behind them.

114
00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:17,860
Do you think you can dominate
the martial world this way?

115
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:20,470
How ridiculous.

116
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:37,916
Where did you learn these skills?

117
00:14:40,259 --> 00:14:42,923
From my Zhan family.

118
00:14:43,539 --> 00:14:45,100
Jing Yi Ming.

119
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,214
Still hiding the tricks
of your own sect?

120
00:15:25,220 --> 00:15:27,419
The world is full of heroes.

121
00:15:27,419 --> 00:15:29,220
Each with their own unique skills.

122
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:30,980
Even if you spend ten lifetimes,

123
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:33,100
you can't steal every sect's unique skills

124
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,993
for yourself.

125
00:15:47,019 --> 00:15:50,926
Everyone, kill Zhan Zhao!

126
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,832
[Soaring to the Heavens]

127
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:52,164
The Zhanlu Sword.

128
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:37,080
Hurry up. Search every inch of this place!

129
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,160
Yes.

130
00:18:42,619 --> 00:18:44,895
Check over there.

131
00:18:54,419 --> 00:18:56,619
Brother Zhan, come with me.

132
00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:58,724
This way.

133
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:38,300
Miss Huo.

134
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:39,500
Any news of Brother Zhan?

135
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:40,979
Still inside the secret tunnel.

136
00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:43,899
I knew you'd be troubled,
so I came to tell you this.

137
00:19:43,899 --> 00:19:46,219
He's been in there for so long.

138
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:47,500
Can't wait.

139
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:49,860
Don't go. Brother Zhan
wouldn't let you act rashly either.

140
00:19:49,860 --> 00:19:52,020
But I'm afraid he's in danger.

141
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:54,379
Wait for the time it takes
an incense stick to burn.

142
00:19:54,379 --> 00:19:55,419
If he doesn't come out,

143
00:19:55,419 --> 00:19:57,960
I'll go with you to save him.

144
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,824
Brother Zhan.

145
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:07,979
How did you get here?

146
00:20:07,979 --> 00:20:09,419
Was that Moon Envoy?

147
00:20:09,419 --> 00:20:10,939
Yes.

148
00:20:10,939 --> 00:20:12,780
Where is she?

149
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:16,775
Let's go. We should head back first.

150
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:44,500
Zhao Hui, we have confirmed

151
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:46,740
that Jing Yi Ming
has been using Zhongxiao Pavilion

152
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:48,659
to buy off officials for Lord of Xiangyang

153
00:20:48,659 --> 00:20:50,500
and win over martial world figures.

154
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,580
The crime he committed

155
00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:53,860
was the high treason for subverting the realm.

156
00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:55,179
I came here this time

157
00:20:55,179 --> 00:20:57,740
specifically to bring him to justice.

158
00:20:57,740 --> 00:20:59,860
My appearance at his house tonight

159
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:03,179
was also to search for evidence.

160
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:04,740
I see.

161
00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:05,997
I am staying at his house.

162
00:21:05,997 --> 00:21:07,899
Besides wanting to investigate
during the birthday banquet,

163
00:21:07,899 --> 00:21:09,300
I am also truly worried

164
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,659
that Yue Hua might choose this time

165
00:21:10,659 --> 00:21:13,023
to seek revenge on Jing Yi Ming.

166
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:15,179
By the way,

167
00:21:15,179 --> 00:21:17,260
I've been at his house for days now.

168
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:18,581
I have found some clues.

169
00:21:18,581 --> 00:21:21,110
I don't know if it'll help your investigation.

170
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,419
Tell me.

171
00:21:23,419 --> 00:21:24,820
Ever since I moved into his place,

172
00:21:24,820 --> 00:21:27,419
Jing Yi Ming has had a small courtyard
guarded day and night.

173
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:29,379
Whenever I got close to that courtyard,

174
00:21:29,379 --> 00:21:32,894
I could always smell a faint medicinal scent.

175
00:21:40,139 --> 00:21:42,472
What's wrong? By the look of you,

176
00:21:42,472 --> 00:21:45,979
you already know who's locked in there.

177
00:21:45,979 --> 00:21:47,555
We do.

178
00:21:48,299 --> 00:21:49,940
But that matter

179
00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:51,620
isn't related to your family's case.

180
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:54,538
So we won't go into the details.

181
00:21:55,219 --> 00:21:56,380
Zhao Hui,

182
00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:57,779
besides that courtyard,

183
00:21:57,779 --> 00:22:01,130
is there anything else suspicious there?

184
00:22:01,979 --> 00:22:03,499
Yes.

185
00:22:03,499 --> 00:22:07,420
That day, I saw Jing Yi Ming
take a girl covered in wounds into his bedroom.

186
00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:09,093
It reminded me of what happened to Xiao Yun,

187
00:22:09,093 --> 00:22:10,739
so I kept a close watch.

188
00:22:10,739 --> 00:22:12,546
That night, I saw Jing Yi Ming leave,

189
00:22:12,546 --> 00:22:14,767
so I went inside to have a look.

190
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,400
<i>Those beasts.</i>

191
00:22:23,060 --> 00:22:25,349
<i>Thank you.</i>

192
00:22:27,419 --> 00:22:30,499
<i>I'm just applying medicine for you.</i>

193
00:22:30,499 --> 00:22:32,580
<i>Mrs. Jing,</i>

194
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:34,172
<i>even though I am usually</i>

195
00:22:34,172 --> 00:22:36,739
<i>locked away in that secret chamber,</i>

196
00:22:36,739 --> 00:22:38,499
<i>I still know</i>

197
00:22:38,499 --> 00:22:41,380
<i>that you are not like him.</i>

198
00:22:41,380 --> 00:22:44,140
<i>I can often hear you</i>

199
00:22:44,140 --> 00:22:46,140
<i>quarreling with him.</i>

200
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:49,140
<i>You always pray for his victims.</i>

201
00:22:49,140 --> 00:22:50,820
<i>Burn paper for them too.</i>

202
00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:53,019
<i>You try to persuade him to stop.</i>

203
00:22:53,019 --> 00:22:55,380
<i>Even if he beats you for it,</i>

204
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:58,026
<i>you have never stopped.</i>

205
00:23:04,019 --> 00:23:05,620
<i>I beg you, Mrs. Jing.</i>

206
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:08,419
<i>Give me a pot of poisoned alcohol.</i>

207
00:23:08,419 --> 00:23:10,820
<i>I want to kill him myself</i>

208
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:12,847
<i>to avenge my elder brother.</i>

209
00:23:13,419 --> 00:23:15,060
<i>Don't.</i>

210
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,020
<i>Give up that idea immediately.</i>

211
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:19,459
<i>If you fail, you will surely die.</i>

212
00:23:19,459 --> 00:23:21,407
<i>Even if I die,</i>

213
00:23:21,979 --> 00:23:24,637
<i>I must try.</i>

214
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:29,300
<i>To tell you the truth,</i>

215
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:32,419
<i>you are not the first person
he has locked up.</i>

216
00:23:32,419 --> 00:23:34,480
<i>Over the years,</i>

217
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,040
<i>I have seen too many girls</i>

218
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,340
<i>who would risk their lives to take his life.</i>

219
00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:40,900
<i>But in the end,</i>

220
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:42,699
<i>they were just rolled in straw mats</i>

221
00:23:42,699 --> 00:23:44,580
<i>and thrown into a mass grave.</i>

222
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:46,460
<i>Once your life is gone,</i>

223
00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:49,282
<i>how can you talk about revenge?</i>

224
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:53,536
<i>The time has not yet come.</i>

225
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,620
<i>All you can do now</i>

226
00:23:56,620 --> 00:23:58,914
<i>is wait.</i>

227
00:24:03,739 --> 00:24:05,900
<i>Chief Jing.</i>

228
00:24:09,019 --> 00:24:11,219
<i>I was afraid you would have scars,</i>

229
00:24:11,219 --> 00:24:13,699
<i>so I told her to apply medicine for you.</i>

230
00:24:13,699 --> 00:24:16,280
<i>Yet you ungrateful wretch. Try to kill me?</i>

231
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,440
<i>Let go!</i>

232
00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:29,459
<i>"The time has not yet come"? Then tell me,</i>

233
00:24:29,459 --> 00:24:31,998
<i>when will the time come?</i>

234
00:24:33,060 --> 00:24:34,659
<i>It has been ten years.</i>

235
00:24:34,659 --> 00:24:38,340
<i>You have committed enough sins in these years.</i>

236
00:24:38,340 --> 00:24:39,859
<i>Let Yu Lian go.</i>

237
00:24:39,859 --> 00:24:41,419
<i>No more sins.</i>

238
00:24:41,419 --> 00:24:43,620
<i>Or you will pay for what you've done!</i>

239
00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:45,260
<i>Pay?</i>

240
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:48,220
<i>If there were any justice,
I would have paid ten years ago.</i>

241
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:51,260
<i>When I ordered Su Yi Zhou
to set your Bawang Manor against Linyuan Sect.</i>

242
00:24:51,260 --> 00:24:53,379
<i>When your whole house was put to the sword.</i>

243
00:24:53,379 --> 00:24:55,579
<i>That was on me.</i>

244
00:24:55,579 --> 00:24:57,060
<i>But now,</i>

245
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:00,826
<i>am I not standing here perfectly fine?</i>

246
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,940
<i>Rest assured.</i>

247
00:25:03,940 --> 00:25:07,393
<i>I will find someone to treat you well.</i>

248
00:25:16,339 --> 00:25:18,700
At that time, I couldn't rescue Mrs. Jing

249
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:20,859
and that girl named Yu Lian.

250
00:25:20,859 --> 00:25:24,099
I think since I knew she was locked up
in Jing's secret chamber,

251
00:25:24,099 --> 00:25:26,700
I'll definitely have a chance to rescue her.

252
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:28,339
So Yu Lian

253
00:25:28,339 --> 00:25:31,793
is the witness who saw He Bo's true face.

254
00:25:34,233 --> 00:25:38,540
So, the conflict between Bawang Manor
and Linyuan Sect back then

255
00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:41,300
was actually orchestrated by Jing Yi Ming.

256
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:45,139
In that case,
his scheme was set in motion ten years ago.

257
00:25:45,139 --> 00:25:46,419
That means

258
00:25:46,419 --> 00:25:48,579
Mrs. Jing must know a lot of things too.

259
00:25:48,579 --> 00:25:50,899
She can also be a witness.

260
00:25:50,899 --> 00:25:52,339
At this point,

261
00:25:52,339 --> 00:25:54,746
we finally have a lead.

262
00:25:57,260 --> 00:25:58,979
Zhao Hui.

263
00:25:58,979 --> 00:26:01,179
There's something I can't hide from you.

264
00:26:01,179 --> 00:26:02,820
In the secret chamber,

265
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:04,899
I saw Zhanlu Sword.

266
00:26:04,899 --> 00:26:09,113
Jing Yi Ming must have fought with your father.

267
00:26:10,459 --> 00:26:13,459
So Jing Yi Ming really did kill my father.

268
00:26:13,459 --> 00:26:15,540
It's not just your father.

269
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:18,540
I think every weapon

270
00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:20,260
displayed in that chamber

271
00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:22,863
has a life behind it.

272
00:26:24,580 --> 00:26:26,740
Jing Yi Ming also wants to use the banquet

273
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:29,540
to force all sects to serve Lord of Xiangyang.

274
00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:31,500
It's too dangerous for you at Jing's house.

275
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,636
Find a way to get out quickly.

276
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:36,860
No, Brother Zhan.

277
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:38,820
I must stay at Jing's house.

278
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:40,740
Firstly, it's for Yue Hua.

279
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:41,780
Secondly,

280
00:26:41,780 --> 00:26:43,820
since you're investigating Jing,

281
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:45,580
someone needs to stay inside

282
00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:48,346
to help you find clues.

283
00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:56,740
Zhao Hui,

284
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,580
be very careful back at Jing's house.

285
00:26:58,580 --> 00:26:59,740
If anything goes wrong,

286
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:01,419
find a way to get out immediately.

287
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:03,935
Don't worry, Brother Zhan.

288
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:07,659
I'll keep a close eye out

289
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:09,219
for Yue Hua's whereabouts.

290
00:27:09,219 --> 00:27:10,580
If there's any news,

291
00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:12,000
I'll inform you immediately.

292
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,800
Okay.

293
00:27:16,340 --> 00:27:18,330
Farewell.

294
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:31,580
No wonder Brother Ding
risked his life to stay at Jing's house.

295
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:34,079
He even thought of handing the suspect
to the authorities.

296
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:36,675
That is truly admirable.

297
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:40,820
If my family's blood was on that man's hands,

298
00:27:40,820 --> 00:27:43,697
I wouldn't let anyone else strike the blow.

299
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:45,780
I fear

300
00:27:45,780 --> 00:27:47,340
that the path Yue Hua wants to take

301
00:27:47,340 --> 00:27:50,092
is exactly the one you mentioned.

302
00:27:54,060 --> 00:27:55,459
Miss Huo,

303
00:27:55,459 --> 00:27:57,260
when we first met, you said you knew

304
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:59,540
the young master of Tang Sect.

305
00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:01,659
How close is your friendship?

306
00:28:01,659 --> 00:28:05,636
We've known each other since childhood.
We're best friends.

307
00:28:06,260 --> 00:28:07,726
Since you are close friends,

308
00:28:07,726 --> 00:28:09,379
then he must be chivalrous,

309
00:28:09,379 --> 00:28:10,740
just like you.

310
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:11,979
Of course.

311
00:28:11,979 --> 00:28:13,500
He is kind by nature,

312
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:17,586
and would never get involved
in the Tang Sect's dirty dealings.

313
00:28:19,140 --> 00:28:20,338
Zhan,

314
00:28:20,338 --> 00:28:23,048
why do you ask about him all of a sudden?

315
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:27,979
I want to ask him for a favor.

316
00:28:27,979 --> 00:28:29,899
Bai Yu Tang is acting so strangely

317
00:28:29,899 --> 00:28:32,780
because his two sworn brothers
haven't been cured of the poison.

318
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:33,860
I suspect

319
00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:36,060
Zhi Hua is using the antidote as a threat,

320
00:28:36,060 --> 00:28:39,294
forcing Bai Yu Tang
to act against his conscience.

321
00:28:39,899 --> 00:28:41,300
But tonight,

322
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:42,979
Jing Yi Ming said

323
00:28:42,979 --> 00:28:45,997
there is no antidote for Yemotian Poison.

324
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,219
So, you mean...

325
00:28:49,219 --> 00:28:52,379
you want Xiao Tang to make an antidote?

326
00:28:52,379 --> 00:28:55,030
For now, we can only try.

327
00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:57,060
No problem.

328
00:28:57,060 --> 00:28:58,860
The Tang Sect's base is in Xiangyang.

329
00:28:58,860 --> 00:29:00,500
I'll go find him tomorrow.

330
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:03,300
Xiao Tang has always studied these poisons.

331
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,020
I'm sure he can help.

332
00:29:06,020 --> 00:29:08,122
Tell him I'm grateful.

333
00:29:13,340 --> 00:29:15,220
That Zhi Hua...

334
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:18,100
How dare he toy with Brother Bai like that.

335
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:21,533
Once this is over, I'll teach him a lesson.

336
00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:26,979
And that Rat Bai too.

337
00:29:26,979 --> 00:29:29,100
That Rat Bai is also despicable.

338
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,139
He didn't tell us about such a serious matter.

339
00:29:31,139 --> 00:29:33,060
He doesn't treat us as friends at all.

340
00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:35,300
If you hadn't noticed the signs,

341
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:37,619
wouldn't we have delayed
saving those two brothers?

342
00:29:37,619 --> 00:29:40,419
And we fell for Zhi Hua's scheme.
Divided us for nothing.

343
00:29:40,419 --> 00:29:42,219
Before we deal with Zhi Hua,

344
00:29:42,219 --> 00:29:45,183
we should teach that Rat Bai a lesson first.

345
00:29:46,580 --> 00:29:48,300
You're right.

346
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,659
But for now,

347
00:29:49,659 --> 00:29:52,219
let's not rush to punish Rat Bai.

348
00:29:52,219 --> 00:29:53,379
The priority now

349
00:29:53,379 --> 00:29:55,459
is to rescue Yu Lian before the banquet.

350
00:29:55,459 --> 00:29:58,020
We need her to testify against He Bo.

351
00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:59,459
Understood.

352
00:29:59,459 --> 00:30:03,345
That way, we can prevent that banquet's trap.

353
00:30:14,179 --> 00:30:18,459
If Brother Bai can't find the magistrate,
he'll surely come back to find us.

354
00:30:18,459 --> 00:30:21,780
He'll definitely be in a foul mood again.

355
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:23,340
His mouth is

356
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:24,939
even sharper than a blade.

357
00:30:24,939 --> 00:30:27,272
His words cut straight to the heart.

358
00:30:28,139 --> 00:30:30,860
Then let's prepare some fish for him.

359
00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:34,193
That should shut him up and stop his nagging.

360
00:30:36,340 --> 00:30:38,540
It's actually quite strange.

361
00:30:38,540 --> 00:30:40,300
The two of you are opposites.

362
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,260
You're a cat who doesn't like fish,

363
00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:43,600
while he's a mouse

364
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,680
who can't live a day without it.

365
00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:00,860
Didn't you say

366
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:02,020
that Zhongxiao Pavilion

367
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:04,179
already had extra guards?

368
00:31:04,179 --> 00:31:06,976
How did Zhan Zhao get in?

369
00:31:07,540 --> 00:31:08,660
Zhi Hua.

370
00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:09,906
Didn't you say you'd take

371
00:31:09,906 --> 00:31:11,952
full responsibility for arranging the guards?

372
00:31:11,952 --> 00:31:14,179
How do you explain this?

373
00:31:14,179 --> 00:31:17,340
Chief, I am still investigating the matter.

374
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:19,020
What's there to investigate?

375
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:21,899
That Bai Yu Tang
must be working with them from the inside

376
00:31:21,899 --> 00:31:23,580
to help them sneak in.

377
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:24,899
You thought you were clever

378
00:31:24,899 --> 00:31:26,619
by turning Bai Yu Tang to our side.

379
00:31:26,619 --> 00:31:28,500
You thought you could lead everyone,

380
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,993
but you're the one being played.

381
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:35,060
Chief.

382
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:38,060
Zhan Zhao knows your plan for the banquet.

383
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:40,580
He will surely try to sabotage it.

384
00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:41,580
I request permission

385
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:43,403
to eliminate this major threat

386
00:31:43,403 --> 00:31:45,179
before the birthday banquet begins.

387
00:31:45,179 --> 00:31:47,179
You? eliminate him?

388
00:31:47,179 --> 00:31:49,459
I heard even father only fought him to a draw.

389
00:31:49,459 --> 00:31:51,962
You say you want to eliminate him?

390
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:00,219
Fine. I will leave this matter to you.

391
00:32:00,219 --> 00:32:03,340
- Yes.
- You must eliminate Zhan Zhao...

392
00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:05,913
before the birthday banquet.

393
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:09,659
Father. On my way back,

394
00:32:09,659 --> 00:32:11,219
I saw that Ding lad.

395
00:32:11,219 --> 00:32:14,540
He reeked of alcohol,
as if he had just returned from a tavern.

396
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,580
He was drunk?

397
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:17,699
But I wonder,

398
00:32:17,699 --> 00:32:20,060
is he truly drunk,

399
00:32:20,060 --> 00:32:22,615
or is he just faking it?

400
00:32:27,060 --> 00:32:28,740
We lost Jiao Chao Gui.

401
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:32,300
Those old fogies won't give in so easily.

402
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:34,379
They need a bit of a warning.

403
00:32:34,379 --> 00:32:35,860
In that case,

404
00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:38,260
I'll let them see clearly
what happened to the Ding family.

405
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:39,379
I'll let them know

406
00:32:39,379 --> 00:32:42,100
the consequences of opposing me.

407
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:44,379
Keep Ding Zhao Hui alive for now.

408
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:46,340
At the birthday banquet,

409
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:48,873
I'll make an example of him.

410
00:32:51,139 --> 00:32:53,998
His death will send a message.

411
00:32:59,093 --> 00:33:01,179
- Zhan.
- You're awake.

412
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,939
Why didn't you sleep a bit longer?

413
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:06,260
My thoughts keep me from resting.

414
00:33:06,260 --> 00:33:07,659
I want to go to Tang Sect as soon as possible.

415
00:33:07,659 --> 00:33:10,660
Once we have the antidote,
I'm sure Brother Bai will return.

416
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:12,998
I'll rely on you then.

417
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:17,219
I saw the candlelight in your room
stayed lit all night.

418
00:33:17,219 --> 00:33:19,219
You're also thinking about the rescue?

419
00:33:19,219 --> 00:33:20,379
Yes.

420
00:33:20,379 --> 00:33:22,219
I have a preliminary plan.

421
00:33:22,219 --> 00:33:23,820
But with only a few of us,

422
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:26,146
it won't be enough.

423
00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:42,849
Why did you want to see me?

424
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:52,740
I have many affairs in Hanshui Palace.

425
00:34:52,740 --> 00:34:54,780
If there's nothing urgent,

426
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:57,009
I'll take my leave.

427
00:34:58,020 --> 00:35:00,139
I want to rescue Yu Lian

428
00:35:00,139 --> 00:35:02,740
and the girls from Zhongxiao Pavilion.

429
00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:05,860
I wonder if you could introduce me, Moon Envoy,

430
00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:08,776
to meet Granny Hanshui.

431
00:35:10,379 --> 00:35:12,976
You want Granny to help you?

432
00:35:14,860 --> 00:35:17,300
Granny will not help you.

433
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:19,659
She may pity the girls of Zhongxiao Pavilion,

434
00:35:19,659 --> 00:35:21,140
but she would never risk

435
00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:23,340
the entire Hanshui Palace. Not in her nature.

436
00:35:23,340 --> 00:35:26,140
Furthermore,
Zhongxiao Pavilion is heavily guarded now.

437
00:35:26,140 --> 00:35:27,860
Zhi Hua is waiting for a chance to kill you.

438
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:29,259
Under such circumstances,

439
00:35:29,259 --> 00:35:30,860
how do you plan to save them?

440
00:35:30,860 --> 00:35:34,259
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope,

441
00:35:34,259 --> 00:35:37,035
I must give it my best shot.

442
00:35:54,099 --> 00:35:55,780
Don't move, please!

443
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:58,340
Don't move!

444
00:35:58,340 --> 00:35:59,499
Careful! Careful!

445
00:35:59,499 --> 00:36:02,220
One step on a Love Bug sprout,
another on a Blood-Withered Grass!

446
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:04,380
[Tang Tian Hao, Young Master of the Tang Sect]
My treasures wrong you somehow?

447
00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:07,873
Come out! Don't step on them! Careful, careful!

448
00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:12,146
I've brought you a very novel poison.

449
00:36:12,146 --> 00:36:14,702
I'm sure you've never seen it.

450
00:36:24,539 --> 00:36:26,499
Despite having examined countless poisons,

451
00:36:26,499 --> 00:36:29,139
I have rarely seen such an exquisite one.

452
00:36:29,139 --> 00:36:30,459
Brilliant.

453
00:36:30,459 --> 00:36:32,579
Can you make an antidote?

454
00:36:33,579 --> 00:36:35,740
Three months.

455
00:36:35,740 --> 00:36:38,099
Three days. If I needed three months,

456
00:36:38,099 --> 00:36:39,340
I, the Young Master of Tang Sect,

457
00:36:39,340 --> 00:36:41,499
would be nothing but a fraud.

458
00:36:41,499 --> 00:36:45,395
I knew you would have no problem,
Young Master of Tang Sect.

459
00:36:47,619 --> 00:36:48,780
Ling Long.

460
00:36:48,780 --> 00:36:50,226
I can make its antidote,

461
00:36:50,226 --> 00:36:51,939
but I don't want to.

462
00:36:51,939 --> 00:36:53,579
Unless you give me an explanation,

463
00:36:53,579 --> 00:36:55,995
I will never help you.

464
00:36:57,019 --> 00:36:58,740
What explanation?

465
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:01,126
I'm asking you.

466
00:37:16,180 --> 00:37:19,979
After you fled the wedding,
why did you go to Xiao Zhao instead of me?

467
00:37:19,979 --> 00:37:21,099
You have no idea

468
00:37:21,099 --> 00:37:22,939
how he boasted in that letter.

469
00:37:22,939 --> 00:37:23,979
And another thing.

470
00:37:23,979 --> 00:37:26,400
You and Zhan Zhao only met by chance.

471
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,499
Why did you go off to roam the world with him?

472
00:37:28,499 --> 00:37:30,700
You didn't even think to come and see me.

473
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:32,380
Roam the world?

474
00:37:32,380 --> 00:37:34,499
Zhan Zhao and I were solving a case.

475
00:37:34,499 --> 00:37:36,700
We were very busy.

476
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:39,619
You went through life and death together.

477
00:37:39,619 --> 00:37:40,840
Doesn't that mean he'll soon

478
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,493
be as important to you as I am,
your childhood friend--

479
00:37:42,493 --> 00:37:43,619
Enough.

480
00:37:43,619 --> 00:37:45,059
Saving lives is more important.

481
00:37:45,059 --> 00:37:47,220
Besides, I'm not here for Zhan Zhao today.

482
00:37:47,220 --> 00:37:49,700
- I'm here for Bai Yu Tang.
- What?

483
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:52,059
Now there is a Bai Yu Tang?
Why is it so complicated?

484
00:37:52,059 --> 00:37:54,700
What's going on in that head of yours?

485
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:55,900
In your mind,

486
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,380
is everything I do for the sake of romance?

487
00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:01,066
Can't it be for justice?

488
00:38:02,139 --> 00:38:03,459
Let's talk business.

489
00:38:03,459 --> 00:38:04,860
The Yemotian Poison matter

490
00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:07,459
concerns many lives.

491
00:38:07,459 --> 00:38:10,735
Developing its antidote is no laughing matter.

492
00:38:11,820 --> 00:38:12,860
Fine.

493
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:14,139
I really want to help you.

494
00:38:14,139 --> 00:38:15,459
I'm just worried that

495
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:18,700
if my uncle finds out about this,
he'll be very unhappy.

496
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:21,619
Wasn't your uncle's position as Chief
passed down to him by your father?

497
00:38:21,619 --> 00:38:24,459
You, a young master. Afraid of him?

498
00:38:24,459 --> 00:38:25,900
Actually, I...

499
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:29,579
Didn't you always complain to me
about his actions before?

500
00:38:29,579 --> 00:38:31,012
Now that you've grown up,

501
00:38:31,012 --> 00:38:32,979
you should have your own opinions.

502
00:38:32,979 --> 00:38:34,539
Developing the antidote

503
00:38:34,539 --> 00:38:36,939
is the first step in standing up to him.

504
00:38:36,939 --> 00:38:38,740
Me, standing up to him?

505
00:38:38,740 --> 00:38:40,260
With just my skills?

506
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:41,998
No way.

507
00:38:45,876 --> 00:38:48,019
Could it be that you can't make the antidote?

508
00:38:48,019 --> 00:38:49,820
You said three days.

509
00:38:49,820 --> 00:38:52,002
Bragging.

510
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:56,380
Three days it is.

511
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,717
I will not go back on my word.

512
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:03,499
Brother Zhan, I understand your plan.

513
00:39:03,499 --> 00:39:05,139
I just thought of someone

514
00:39:05,139 --> 00:39:06,579
who might share my thoughts

515
00:39:06,579 --> 00:39:08,740
and could help us.

516
00:39:08,740 --> 00:39:09,979
But right now,

517
00:39:09,979 --> 00:39:12,459
the Jing family has halted
all birthday banquet preparations.

518
00:39:12,459 --> 00:39:14,419
It seems they're going all out to kill you

519
00:39:14,419 --> 00:39:16,220
to eliminate any future trouble.

520
00:39:16,220 --> 00:39:19,539
Brother Zhan, you have no chance to sneak in.

521
00:39:19,539 --> 00:39:21,419
Zhao Hui, don't worry.

522
00:39:21,419 --> 00:39:22,926
Make sure to protect yourself first.

523
00:39:22,926 --> 00:39:24,226
If you sense any danger,

524
00:39:24,226 --> 00:39:25,459
you must leave immediately.

525
00:39:25,459 --> 00:39:28,250
Alright. I'll head back then.

526
00:41:34,820 --> 00:41:36,220
Did Zhan Zhao go in?

527
00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:38,967
Yes. Should we strike now?

528
00:41:39,820 --> 00:41:42,059
Wait.

529
00:41:42,059 --> 00:41:44,334
Wait a little longer.

530
00:42:20,139 --> 00:42:21,753
Zhan.

531
00:42:22,380 --> 00:42:24,180
Xiao Tang has agreed to work on the antidote.

532
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:26,919
It's crawling with Zhi Hua's men outside.
We must leave now.

533
00:42:38,939 --> 00:42:41,270
Brother Bai.

534
00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:53,180
Give me that corrupt official.

535
00:42:53,180 --> 00:42:55,360
We know all

536
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,700
about Zhi Hua threatening you.

537
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:00,419
There is no antidote for Yemotian Poison.

538
00:43:00,419 --> 00:43:03,558
Don't let Zhi Hua manipulate you.

539
00:43:03,558 --> 00:43:05,949
Give him to me.
