Original subtitles

Why is this hard to say?

That man defeated the Grandmaster

and also transferred his spiritual power to you

to heal your wounds.

Perhaps it was during the healing,

some spiritual power remains in your bodies.

So now your cultivation

has greatly improved.

So,

it makes sense now.

Yanran,

did you ask for his name

or where he lives?

Well,

I...

I was too excited at the time

that I forgot.

Forgot?

Then do you remember his appearance?

He...

He was wearing a mask.

Then

we have no clues.

(Why do I feel like Yanran is hiding something?)

What are you doing?

Sorry, ladies.

I insisted you coming here.

That's why...

Don't blame yourself.

If it weren't for this,

we wouldn't have had this opportunity.

Blame Zhao Feiyang.

He's awful!

We risked our lives to save him.

And he actually ran away!

How annoying!

Next time we meet,

I will teach him a lesson!

But,

in the beginning,

we intended to let him escape.

Forget it.

Anyway, we are all fine now.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Even so,

he doesn't deserve to be a man.

This kind of person is...

Bai Zhi,

haven't you seen through him?

I admit,

in the beginning,

I overestimated him.

But what happened today

left me completely disappointed in him.

Starting today,

for the Zhao family or Zhao Feiyang,

I have no expectations.

Yeah.

How could Zhao Feiyang act like this?

I hate him so much.

Enough.

Stop mentioning that useless man.

About the engagement,

we saved his life today.

We owe nothing to the Zhao family.

From now on,

we will be united,

working together,

and will reach the top of Martial Realm on Tianwu Continent.

In the future,

we will meet the man who saved us.

You're here.

You...

Why are you...

Of course, I'm not dead.

What do you mean?

What's going on?

Greetings, brother.

Your attitude today

is much better compared to before.

You even called me "brother".

I was immature before.

Please don't blame me.

Feiyang,

as the elder brother,

be more tolerant.

Have dinner with your fifth brother,

drink some wine

and catch up.

Sure.

It's been over a year since we talked.

It's time to reminisce.

By the way,

I've heard that

you brought a Grandmaster to our family.

Bring him over later.

I'll pay my respects.

Yes,

bring Master Zhuang along as well.

I...

Okay.

I'll go call him right now.

Look at Heng,

venturing the mainland alone at seventeen.

So young,

yet he has Grandmaster friends.

His future is boundless.

And you?

You should learn from him.

I learn from him?

Are you kidding me?

I'm capable, okay?

Why learn from him?

You're capable?

If you're capable,

why would the three girls

take turns

to break off the engagement with us?

They just don't understand me.

If they knew me well enough,

they'd all fight to marry me.

Fight for you?

Not to mention it's three girls,

even if there's just one

who takes you seriously,

I'd wake up laughing from a dream.

Then you just wait to wake up from a dream laughing.

You...

You brat!

(City Lord's Mansion)

(Li Hongbin, City Lord) Your Highness, why are you so angry?

Is there something I didn't do well?

That's not it.

It's just that

I encountered someone who really displeases me.

Please, Your Highness.

Who in Tianxuan City would dare to upset you?

Unless they're tired of living, right?

Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang?

Who doesn't know Zhao Feiyang?

He is the number one good-for-nothing in Tianxuan City.

Your just arrived in Tianxuan City.

How could you be angered by such a good-for-nothing?

He is indeed a good-for-nothing.

But he still displeases me greatly.

Is there any way to deal with him?

This...

For this abnormal movement of the North Border demon clan,

three sons of the Zhaos died fighting on the North Border.

Only this one coward lived to return.

Don't you think

I have

every reason to suspect him

of colluding with the demon clan,

or perhaps betraying his compatriots

and saving his own life?

Otherwise, how could he

have managed to return alive?

Your Highness,

isn't this accusation a bit too severe?

Too severe?

(Why didn't Zhao Qin control his son properly?)

(Now he provoked such a powerful man!)

Very severe.

In our Haotian Empire,

there has always been zero tolerance for such things.

At the least, Zhao Feiyang will be executed.

At worst, the entire Zhao family will have to suffer.

Your Highness, surely you wouldn't...

How dare you!

A mere city lord of Tianxuan,

you're questioning me?

I wouldn't dare.

By the decree of my father,

I was ordered to come to Tianxuan City to form a demon-quelling army.

Before the people of Tianxuan City,

this good-for-nothing disgraced me.

I need to earn respect.

Or how can you expect me

to command this demon-quelling force in the future?

You're right.

You're right.

So,

I shall make an example of the Zhao family.

Lord Li,

you just need to cooperate.

Your Highness,

please listen to me.

Although Zhao Feiyang is despised by everyone,

the Zhao family is loyally steadfast.

If we take action,

I'm afraid...

No need to fear.

It is justified.

Are you afraid he might rebel?

You're right.

Lord Li,

just cooperate.

Once I have assembled the team

and pacified the North Border,

you will be the primary merit official.

At that time,

I'll ask my father for a decree,

appointing you as the lord of

the sixteen southern cities!

The Domain Lord?

Is it true?

Of course.

It depends on your performance.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Where on earth did this guy go?

I sent you to kill him.

Now he has come back.

And where are you?

Can someone tell me

what exactly happened here?

Young Master,

the weather is slightly cool.

Don't catch a cold.

This little chill

is nothing compared to the North Border.

Young Master,

will you go back to North Border?

Probably.

Young Master!

Young master,

something happened.

So many visitors.

Brother,

what are you doing?

You shouldn't be here!

Zhao Feiyang is here!

Capture him!

Hold on.

Zhao Qin,

what do you intend to do?

My Lord,

this matter remains unclear.

You must not capture people so easily.

Your fourth son, Zhao Feiyang, is a deserter from North Border.

He is now colluding with the demon clan

to harm compatriots.

It's only right to capture him.

It will be clarified through interrogation

before a decision is made.

My son would never collude with the demon clan

or betray his people.

Zhao Qin,

you can't decide this with only your side.

Although Feiyang's cultivation is somewhat low,

he is still a person with a righteous and kind heart.

He would never have such disgraceful acts.

I am willing to vouch for this with my life.

Zhao Qin,

stop your false belief.

Today, it is only Zhao Feiyang being captured.

If you obstruct further,

your entire family will not be spared.

You...

Don't push it too hard.

I...

What?

Foster father!

Zhao Qin,

do you want to rebel?

Please calm down.

Focus on the big picture.

(It seems that even Heaven is helping me this time.)

(Zhao Feiyang,)

(you're finished.)

Father,

the city lord just wants me for investigation.

Don't be so emotional.

It's fine.

But...

But what?

I believe the city lord will not confuse right and wrong.

Right?

Son...

Young Master...

Rest assured.

I will return unharmed.

Lead the way.

Feiyang!

Feiyang!

Why does Heaven

treat my family this way?

Why?

Foster father!

Father,

don't worry.

He will return safely.

No.

I...

I can't just sit and wait.

Chun,

go invite Master Xiao.

Okay.

Miss,

Zhao Feiyang

was captured for the crime of treason.

- What? - What?

That scoundrel

caused such a trouble.

He deserves to die.

If it is confirmed,

he won't survive.

Can we still help him with anything?

I'm afraid we can't do much.

After all, this kind of matter

involves topics that are too sensitive.

(Zhao Feiyang is not ordinary.)

(If he can't even save himself,)

(our assistance won't help.)

Although we can't do much to help,

the Zhaos are loyal,

yet they are treated so unfairly.

To oppose injustice,

we, the youth of Tianxuan City,

should not stand by.

Poor Lord Zhao.

He lost three sons,

and even the fourth is...

Let's go.

Stand down.

Yes.

Zhao Feiyang,

you barely managed to survive.

Why couldn't you just

keep a low profile?

City Lord, from your words,

did I offend someone I shouldn't have offended?

Truly, you're amazingly clever,

Zhao Feiyang.

The Fourth Prince?

Then all of this makes sense.

I am not a narrow-minded person.

It's just that

you are indeed too annoying.

Moreover, I need to establish my power in Tianxuan City,

so I can only start with you.

(City Lord's Mansion) Zhao Qin, I order you to leave now,

or else I will take you down!

We're only concerned about Zhao Feiyang.

How can you arrest us?

It's City Lord's Mansion.

By gathering here,

you mean to cause trouble.

Zhang Heling,

we've known each other for years.

Can you tell me

what exactly is going on with my son?

I don't know.

(Zhang Heling, Head of Guards) An interrogation?

Interrogation?

Feiyang is weak.

How can he survive the interrogation?

But, foster father,

we are helpless.

Please calm down.

If he really

hasn't done anything wrong,

I believe the city lord will give him an explanation.

Master Xiao.

Move.

Master Xiao,

what is your intention?

Breaking into the City Lord Mansion?

I don't want to repeat what I just said.

Will you let us pass or not?

Zhang Heling,

hurry and make way.

Otherwise, Master Xiao and I

will have to force our way in.

Master Xiao, Zhao Qin,

I urge you to abandon your stubbornness.

With a grand defense formation

and us city guards,

even if you want to intrude,

it won't be that easy.

And there's us!

Ladies,

you...

Don't misunderstand.

We are just standing up for justice.

From what you say,

do you intend to kill me?

No.

Not just you.

I want your entire family to be buried with you.

I need to confirm something.

Is this your idea,

or an order from your royal family?

What a joke.

Isn't my idea

the idea of Haotian Royal Family?

Well, that's alright.

It's alright.

What's alright?

Are you aware of your current situation?

If it's the royal family's intention to move against the Zhao family,

I'm afraid I'll have to eliminate the royal family.

What did you say?

Zhao Feiyang,

how could you say that?

And now,

it's enough to just end you.

He managed to run away.

You...

The lightning you just summoned,

why was it so strong?

My fourth stage cultivation...

My fourth stage cultivation

couldn't even withstand it!

Well,

a prince without power or influence in the royal family,

actually dared to come to Tianxuan City

to stir up trouble.

How can you, the city lord,

boss of Tianxuan City,

be so subservient?

Aren't you ashamed?

I had no choice!

I... I'm just a city lord.

Young Master Zhao,

you won't kill me, right?

Young Master Zhao!

Young Master Zhao!

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry!

Since you're alive,

I won't kill you.

Thank you.

But after this prince goes back,

he'll surely incite the royals

to cause trouble for Tianxuan City.

The misfortune of our Tianxuan City

will begin soon.

Young Master Zhao,

earlier,

you shouldn't have upset such a petty person!

So you knew he's petty?

Yes, petty!

Even if I didn't offend him,

someone else would have.

I understand.

From now on,

Tianxuan City and I will share the common enemy,

uniting against threats!

Your hairstyle is cool.

Young Master Zhao, please!

Let's go.

This sudden thunder.

What happened, exactly?

Is Feiyang in some trouble?

Young Master.

I'm really sorry.

We didn't host you well this time.

No problem.

Next time.

Next time.

We'll host you well.

All here!

Why stare at me?

I'm going home.

You!

You!

Take care, Young Master Zhao.

You brat.

This...

Feiyang.

So,

what happened between you

and City Lord Li Hongbin?

Nothing much.

He just politely

invited me over for tea

and then politely sent me back.

You guys saw it.

He invited you for tea?

With the city guards

to our home?

I guess it's because

the Zhao family's known for being so loyal.

He wanted to keep it formal.

Makes sense.

It was just a cup of tea with Feiyang.

I was worried something else was up.

Today, I must thank you ladies

and Master Xiao.

Glad everything's okay.

Happy to help.

Master Zhao, no need to say thanks.

Zhao Feiyang.

I hope you can grow up.

Stop stressing your father out.

My wife's got a point.

What did you call me?

Wife!

You don't think

we came to help you today

because we care about you

and want to tie the knot?

Stop dreaming.

I just don't get it.

Why do you have such a problem with me?

Your actions disgust me.

Disgust?

What did I do?

What did you do?

You know it well.

I...

I...

What did I do?

I...

I...

What did I do?

What did I do?

Luckily I got out of there.

This close to punching him

(Zhao Mansion) right in front of his dad.

He's got one of those faces.

This is his home.

Just calm down.

He bailed on us

and ran away back then.

Now he's acting all innocent?

Seriously pisses me off.

Plus, today

we had to save his skin again.

But this guy

can't even manage a 'thanks'.

Seriously messed up.

Whatever.

Let's forget about him.

How about

I treat you to the lakeside boiled pork?

Zhou's Boiled Pork?

Yup.

- Awesome, let's go. - Okay.

Wait.

I've really enjoyed hanging out with you both lately.

But with the Martial Assembly coming up,

I need to focus on prepping.

So I'm not going.

Are you competing in the Martial Assembly too?

Sure.

I'm at the late stage of the Martial Master training.

And I've got a Holy Lotus Seed.

With a little luck,

I might even break through to Grandmaster!

I thought

I was getting a sister.

But it turns out

I'm getting a serious rival.

Thanks for looking out for me recently.

This Martial Assembly

could be it for me,

my chance to restore the Bai family.

So, I'm going to give it everything I've got.

(Zhao Mansion) If Bai Zhi's this motivated,

we can't slack off.

Yanran,

see you at the Assembly.

(These women are so career-driven.)

(But I'm just thinking about...)

Hey Miss Li.

Hold up a sec!

Oh, hey, it's you.

What's up?

Check this out.

What...

I got the beast core

when I killed a magic beast in Beast Valley.

It's not top-tier,

but it's got some

decent spiritual power.

And it looks pretty cool.

Here, it's for you.

Um,

I don't know if I should take it.

What's the harm?

It's just a little gift. Go on, take it.

I don't think so.

I'm engaged to your...

My brother?

You know

what Feiyang's like.

There's still time.

Who knows what'll happen

in the future, right?

Actually, I think Feiyang

is alright.

Miss Li, are you serious?

Everyone knows

he's a loser.

- Young Master. - He...

As you see yourself as part of the Zhao family,

why bad-mouthing your brother like that?

What does that make you?

(7 Days Until the Martial Assembly) In case you get bored,

I brought Heng as your sparring partner.

Not bad.

Just a third-rank Martial Master.

He's got a ton of strength.

Looks like he's been working hard

hitting the weights.

Strength is the foundation for practitioners.

Without it,

all those sword moves and martial arts

are just for show.

Feiyang,

your turn.

The weight is down to 300 jin now.

Give it a shot.

(I can't believe I'm back to square one,)

(building up)

(basic strength after a century of cultivation.)

(Guess it's time)

(for me to find my long-lost original intention.)

300 is too much.

150 is more like it.

Wanna take more off?

You can't even move 300 jin.

It's gonna be a tough time.

Right, very tough.

Compared to you,

I'm just too weak.

Strength...

it all starts with 'qi', so breathing is key.

You got to store as much air

as possible in your chest.

Spiritual energy is everywhere.

Even the air you breathe

has a little bit of it.

So, you need to channel that air

from your chest to every muscle.

Remember,

proper breathing

will make your qi stronger.

Your strength will naturally increase.

(I see.)

(Guess someone who's been flying)

(for too long forgot how to walk.)

Alright.

I'll give it another try.

You got this!

Still can't do it.

I tried my best.

Feiyang,

you're really letting Master Xiao down.

Not at all.

You did very well.

Rest a bit. Then keep training.

Sure.

(Is this loser some kind of treasure?)

(Today's training)

(felt like going back a hundred years.)

(That's how it feels to find original intention.)

Congrats!

Today's training is complete.

Your strength is 300 jin.

We'll continue tomorrow.

Continue tomorrow?

My bones are about to fall apart!

I'm done!

It's okay.

I'll heal you.

Why'd you bring me here?
