Su Yu

Episode 16 As for him, he has forgotten everything.

Three months ago, at the Martial Arts Great Convention,

it really changed the entire structure of the martial arts battles.

Sansi, the Head of the Martial Arts League,

was killed by the female demon,

Gongshu Yu from Youyou Valley.

Young Master Mu Juechen of Qianyun Mountain Pavilion,

in order to take revenge for his father,

pushed Gongshu Yu off the cliff.

Based on my latest intelligence reports,

this Gongshu Yu didn't die.

She's now secretly hiding

and training in demonic martial arts.

As the saying goes, one who has seen the world

doesn't stop at small things.

Young Master Mu's grudges with her for killing his father

created incredible hatred.

Thinking of a pair of lovers

pulling out swords and trying to kill each other,

- it really makes people cry inconsolably. -That means

Young Master Mu received an extremely devastating blow.

Then wouldn't that mean he would collapse after one setback? What will I and all the citizens of Tianyou City

- depend on? - No, no.

How can a specially privileged person such as Young Master Mu

be speculated in the same way as the average person?

Not only is he not spiritless and depressed,

he's the phoenix reborn through the fire.

The Prince finds virtuous wives and cares for subordinates.

Many disciples of Qianyun Mountain Pavillion

have requested leave

due to the busy work schedule and low paying salary.

[Tao Te Ching] (T/N: Also known as Dao De Jing, a Chinese classical book written by Laozi, the title meaning "The Book of the Way and its Virtue". )

A sage once said, "People are not more lowly or noble, everyone is of the same status".

But there are many levels of occupation.

Young Master Mu was willing to spend much money

to set all the women from the brothels free.

Resulting in their newly received occupation, they no longer need to please anyone.

This action is as wise as killing two birds with one stone.

From that day on, they're motivated to work and indulged in pleasure, never wanting to go back to the old times.

Wise. Young Master Mu's move is truly wise. That's firstly, what about second?

Secondly, he thinks on behalf of the citizens and promotes harmony within the citizens.

[You can't even give birth to a grandson, what do I need you for; If you need to blame, then blame your incompetent son.] - Young Master goes by

the rule of allowing quarrels but no fights.

It solved the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships,

an incredibly hard problem.

My wife and I got back together

under the counseling of Young Master Mu.

- It really is a fortune for us men. - Yeah. - That's right.

Thirdly, abandoning martial arts for literature. Impressing people with virtue.

Meng Zi said, "Fighting to impress people

won't truly gain their respect."

Impressing people using virtue will be the only time anyone

respects you from the bottom of their heart.

This is the evolution of the Young Master.

This kind of Young Master is perfect.

He's a giant among men.

It's equivalent to Tianyou City and the martial arts community's

great blessing.

You must not be arrogant again when you are the Head of the Martial Arts League.

I guarantee you that I will be the Head of Martial Arts League

who's righteous and loved by the people.

This is what you said. Otherwise, I will be the first to oppose you.

Okay. Do what I say.

Today is the 100th day you left us.

We miss you.

♫ Outside Qianyun, besides Youyou, ♫

♫ a film connected by memories. ♫

♫ A melody comes from Juechen's flute ♫

♫ Xiao Yu is no longer around ♫

Xiao Yu, this is your favorite butterfly knot.

Even if you are down there,

you will still be the prettiest woman along the way to the netherworld.

What are you doing?

I fear she will be lonely there.

That's right. Ever since Young Master lost his memories,

lost his martial arts skills

but his tongue is still as sharp.

How dare you!

Oh no.

You even dare to pay respects to that slut?

Madam, you really misunderstood us.

Today is the 100th day of Old Master's death.

We are paying respects to Old Master.

[Born as a noble person, died as a hero]

Why are you burning offerings in this slut's room then?

Chen'er?

Madam has good observations. Ever since this place has been banned by you,

we have been secretly burning offerings here.

It's also for Young Master and your sake

lest you are sad.

As to why we are burning Young Master's...

It's to let Old Master in the netherworld

knows that Young Master is safe

and he's leading the Martial Arts League now.

And that things have gone back to its original order.

[Exemplary model of Head]

I see. I didn't expect

you would be so kind.

I blamed you by mistake.

But I still need to remind you this.

Don't ever mention that slut in front of Qianyun Mountain Pavilion,

especially in front of Chen'er.

I will remember this.

It's a waste to leave this place empty too.

Why don't we make full use of it? Qian Xiao.

Here.

- Order men to change this place into a toilet. - Huh?

Madam, Young Master is here.

Confucius teaches kindness and Mencius, righteousness.

Don't drown yourselves in sorrows of the past and be stuck in there.

If you have the time to miss Old Master,

why don't you do more deeds which will benefit the people?

I think you have too much free time.

Starting from tomorrow, your daily working hours

- will be extended by another four hours. - Huh?

Perfect.

Also, transform this place into "Juechen Library".

I will teach you how to read the Book of Sages.

Mother, what do you think?

It's fine too.

It's better than a toilet.

That's right.

If Xiao Yu up there knows this,

perhaps, she will be consoled.

Qian Zhan, Chen'er

really can't reinstate his martial arts?

He refuses to cooperate.

Thinking back about when Mu Sansi

was kind in taking in the pitiful Gongshu Yu,

I didn't expect him to raise an ingrate.

Chen'er may have escaped from death

but it has changed him dramatically to abandon martial arts and into literature.

This has already attracted the attention of the heads of the six sects.

Once they find out our weaknesses,

they will definitely think of ways to replace us.

Madam, since Young Master's martial arts can't be reinstated,

why don't we let Brother Qian Zhan provide assistance in the background?

Sister Suxin, you may not know.

Young Master feels that, with his virtues and prestige,

he doesn't need martial arts to gain the respects of everyone to maintain peace in the kingdom.

Qian Xiao, you are always full of nonsensical ideas.

Has you thought of strategy for this?

Madam,

I do have an idea but it's rather radical.

I wonder whether to speak or not.

It's fine to speak.

Why don't we let Qian Zhan pretend to be an assassin

to provoke Young Master?

Perhaps, his memories might return.

Since it's at this stage, we can only try to treat a dead horse and bring it back to life.

Yes.

Don't.

I just want you to scare, not killing for real.

I'll take care of this.

I'll give it back once I finish.

How can I force him into despair without my weapon?

You have this.

I invited all the sect leaders here today

to tell everyone that

my disciple, Qing Yilong,

went to spy on the martial arts training sessions of Young Master.

I would also like to discuss with everyone

on how to handle this.

Taoist Qing, you look worried.

You are not satisfied with the results?

My disciple is incapable. Regarding this matter,

it's like this.

Young Master, your painting

of the mountain and sea is very

majestic, vivid and alive.

It's just like the painter Wang Ximeng has come back to life.

I'm too speechless.

Qian Xiao, don't say the words in your heart.

You have already reached the standard of perfection.

There's no need to perfect it further.

Member Jia has already been waiting for three hours.

If you still don't hand over this painting for auction,

this will be a big mistake.

Qian Xiao, I know disaster relief is important

but this painting still lacks some grace and charm.

I can't figure it out.

Tell Member Jia to wait for a while longer.

Yes.

Mu Juechen, even if you still have your martial arts but your Lightness Skill

still can't beat me.

Let me test your skills now.

This is bad. I was discovered. It must be a coincidence.

No one can catch up with my speed of a hunting falcon.

Let me try again.

I lost. I lost terribly.

If he had thrown a hidden weapon instead of black ink,

I would have died twice.

Perfect.

You have waited for a long time.

He must have noticed me

from when I stepped in here.

Young Master is benevolent. I admire you.

Come,

take this.

Don't let them worry and wait for too long.

Is he aware of the plans of the six sects?

Nothing can indeed be hidden from him.

Not only did he spare my life, he gave this painting to me too.

I feel ashamed to be compared to Young Master Mu.

This is the Dragon Killing Sword. You are the only

who is worthy of this with your renowned skills and integrity.

I'm leaving.

Wait.

I haven't written the complete poems yet.

Forget it. A poem is like a painting.

It's more meaningful to leave some empty spaces.

Brother, you dropped...your knife.

Mu Juechen even gave a painting to Yilong.

I looked at it the whole night

and can't make anything out from it.

Why don't you show this painting to everyone?

[Clouds appear on the peak...]

The poem is incomplete. There are lots of empty spaces.

Now that you mentioned it, I find it somewhat familiar.

I remember now. The original poem goes like this.

"The kingdom is out of my generation"

"As soon as I enter the community, we are reminded of the years".

"The domineering Emperor talked and laughed."

"He was drunk in his life."

So to say, Mu Juechen

deliberately left out "Land...under...heaven,"

"I...will...return...and...fail". These are the eight words....

I got it. If we joined them together, it's

"The kingdom is mine. Domination will not succeed."

He's hinting that our secret hegemony will not succeed.

The kingdom will still belong to Mu Juechen.

This Mu Juechen is disrespecting us.

Qian Zhan, are you sure that assassin is from Qingshan Sect?

I can't be wrong. The Dragon Killing Sword belongs to Qing Yilong.

Qingshan Sect is really something.

When Old Master was around, at every new year,

they will bring gifts and wishes.

They are now the first to oppose us.

It's useless saying all these now.

From what I know about that Old Taoist from Qingshan Sect,

he's not that bold.

The other five sects must be backing him.

They must be checking if Chen'er has reinstated his martial arts skills.

But currently, in Qianyun Mountain Pavilion,

Qian Zhan is the only who excels in martial arts.

He's the only ace here. What should we do?

Madam, haven't you always wanted Young Master to settle down with a family?

- Why don't we use a pretty boy tactic? - Huh?

Qian Xiao, you can't be serious, right? What kind of idea is this?

You want Young Master to convince the six sects?

From what I know, there's only a female sect leader from Shenli.

What I meant is,

let's hold a martial arts competition to recruit a wife for Young Master.

I believe, with his identity as the Head of Martial Arts League,

and his perfect looks,

there will be many women in the martial arts community who will flock there.

Among those many heroines,

we can select the best to assist Young Master

to protect the dignity and honor of Qianyun Mountain Pavilion.

I didn't imagine our Qianyun Mountain Pavilion's 100 years of foundation

will need to rely on a woman to protect it.

Madam, this is just an interim plan.

We can only do this for now.

Sect Leader, we just received an intelligence report.

Qianyun Mountain Pavilion will hold a martial arts competition in three days

to select a wife for the Young Master.

I was wondering why that fat old woman from Shenli is not here today.

She must be on the way there with her daughter

to participate in that search-for-a-wife competition

Looks like this is a god-sent opportunity.

Master, I have an idea.

What's your idea?

Why don't we use this happy occasion as the reason to go to Qianyun Mountain Pavilion as observers for the competition?

Once we get the chance, let's check the real situation of Mu Juechen.

Young Master, you will ruin your health if you continue to drink.

If Valley Master Shen returns from his closed door cultivation,

he will punish us if he sees you in this condition.

Er Long, did you find Valley Master Xiao Yu?

I'm incompetent. I have been searching for clues for her whereabouts

but still can't find anything.

Keep looking.

Yes.

3 months.

Stop looking.

Young Master, you must pull yourself together.

That's right, Young Master Shen. If you are like this, what will happen to Youyou Valley?

Where is Mu Juechen?

What is he doing?

Hurry and say.

He's at Qianyun Mountain Pavilion holding a competition to find a wife.

Idiot!

Young Master.

Xiao Yu's corpse is barely cold yet

and he's still in the mood for look for a wife?

Why is this inappropriate?

Mother, it's not appropriate.

How can I get married with all these enemies around?

Enemies?

Where are they then?

These enemies are poverty, cruelties, greed and grudges.

The kingdom is not at peace yet. The people are suffering from water and fire disasters.

We have droughts and famines.

The killings in the martial arts community never stop.

As the new Head of the Martial Arts League,

I'm responsible for eliminating these stubborn intangible enemies

and let the kingdom be at peace.

The people will be happy then.

People need to get married and have children too.

As the Head of the Martial Arts League,

you should be a role model. Start a family and establish your career.

But with my wisdom and good looks,

I fear there isn't any women in the kingdom who can match me.

If we are not compatible, how can we be a role model couple

for the people?

Based on what you said,

you won't ever marry?

Better to have nothing than a substandard choice.

So, as your mother, I'm also a mediocre person

who's not worthy of her noble son.

I...I might as well just die.

- Madam. - I won't drag you down then.

Madam, don't.

Fine.

I agree to the competition.

As long as you agree to get married, anything else is open for discussion.

For the selection standards, other than martial arts,

we still need to consider talent, beauty and virtues.

Or else, it will affect the next generation.

This is definite. You can set the standards.

Buns for sale.

Noodles for sale.

Older brother, may I ask where they are going?

Qianyun Mountain Pavilion. Didn't you hear of this?

Young Master Mu is hold a martial arts competition tomorrow

to look for a wife at his residence.

I'm guessing the young master of Shenli Sect will be there too.

Martial arts competition to look for a wife?

I'm down-to-earth.

Young Master, with your standards,

if Madam finds out, she will die from anger.

How could it be? She has tactily agreed.

Other than martial arts, I will set the standards for the rest.

Young Master, take a look at this heroine,

Shi Xueyin from Duoqing Valley.

Her make-up is too thick and she doesn't look trustworthy.

How about Heroine Tao Mengjie from Wuya Mountain?

Her outfit is too revealing. How disrespectful.

This Miss Dongfang from Cuiwei Peak is not bad.

She's full of life.

She poses too much. A sign of ignorance.

How about her? Look.

Killing living things. It's inhumane.

What about her? Look.

She doesn't seem to have any problems.

Ambitious and aggressive. She won't be righteous.

Benevolence, righteousness, manners, wisdom and trust.

Young Master, if you apply these five standards,

- then, aren't you... - Enough.

Everyone can leave. Just spare my life.

[Recruitment of Wife Martial Arts Competition]

[Jiu Zhongtian, Lingsui Pavilion, Piaomiao Peak, Shenli Sect]

[Wanxue House, Qianyun]

The six sects are here as observers for today's martial arts competition.

It's definitely

a great honor for us.

Madam Mu, you are too polite.

Being able to witness the Head of Martial Arts League in person

is a great honor to me.

Madam Mu, I wonder when will the first two auditions end?

The first two auditions based on looks and virtues

will personally be decided by the Head of Martial Arts League.

Head of Martial Arts League is here.

Welcome, Head of Martial Arts League.

Welcome, Head of Martial Arts League.

Thank you, Sect Leaders, for coming from afar.

After succeeding my father's position, I have been making every efforts

to serve the people and martial arts community in the kingdom.

But my mother is in advanced age. In order to fulfill her wish,

and follow the ancestors' ways

to settle down with a family and establish my career later.

Dear Sect Leaders, please be our witnesses.

Start.

Let's invite Young Master Chu Yueing from Shenli Sect

and Nangong Wang from Hexi Sect to the stage.

Why are there only two contestants for the martial arts round?

Madam,

the other heroines were eliminated by Young Master.

We were helpless too.

Mue Juechen's taste is really unique.

I hope his martial art skill is not that bad as his tastes in women.

On the contrary, I think this is even scarier.

By marrying an ugly woman, it will reduce his time in bed.

The energy saved will be used to focus on his martial arts training.

We shouldn't understimate this guy.

How did the three of you check on Chen'er?

The chosen candidates are so ugly.

I want my daughter-in-law

to be a heavy weight in martial arts and not in weight.

She will bring prosperity to the husband.

Madam, we privately tried to dissuade Young Master

but he said that

you agreed to the selection standards.

That's right, Madam.

He said he wanted to be a role model like Mr Wolong and marry an ugly wife.

He can then focus on the people after his marriage instead of romantic affairs.

The martial arts competition will start.

Looks like not only Mu Juechen became vicious,

he has gone blind too.

But this is good too. If Shenli Sect wins,

I will have an opportunity.

Good.

This woman is from Shenli Sect. With Shenli Sect's help,

it will be even harder to go against Qianyun Mountain Pavilion in the future.

We are doomed.

Our Mu family's genes will end like this.

Young Master, I'm really perspiring on your behalf.

If you marry her, how will you live in the future?

The martial arts competition has ended.

Young Master Chu Yueying of Shenli Sect has obtained Qianyun Mountain Pavilion's...

Please wait.

This young brother from Shenli Sect,

what advice do you have?

I want to challenge the Head of Martial Arts League.

This stage is only for recruiting a wife.

If you want to challenge him, please come on another day.

For the competition just now,

I believe everyone already knows the skills of the Head of Martial Arts League.

But as a disciple of Shenli Sect, I have only heard about his invincible martial arts skill.

I have never personally witnessed it.

I hope he can prove

his actual strength to us here that

he's worthy of marrying the pride of our Shenli Sect.

When did we have such a disciple?

How presumptuous.

You are a nobody. Who gives you the right to challenge the Head of the Martial Arts League?

Qian Zhan.

Teach this rude disciple a lesson.

Wait.

Madam, the Lingshui Sect also wishes to use this opportunity

to witness his graceful bearing too. Please grant our wish.

Head of Martial Arts League, please grant our wish.

Fine.

Since everyone is asking for this,

I, the Young Master,

will respectfully accede to your requests.

Mother, don't worry. I can do it.

Young Master, please show your guidance.

Brother, do you know the reason

for putting down the sword and becoming a Buddha? (to repent and be absolved of one's crimes).

I'm not interested in becoming a monk.

In this world,

there are non-stop carnages.

Dear brother, just take actions.

I won't fight back.

If my sacrifice can wake up the benevolence in you,

I will die without regrets.

What's wrong? Can't get off the stage?

I already said what I wanted to say.

If you still dare make a move, you will have a bad reputation in history.

Watch my sword.

Such revealing clothes,

a sign of disrespect.

What disrespect?

Who are you?

If I remember correctly, this is a competition to select a wife.

What has it to do with a man like you?

Heroine Chu, will you compete with me?

Young Lady, I fear it's against the rules.

My daughter passed the preliminary rounds to get into this final round.

You!

Ambitious and aggressive. She won't be righteous.

Not righteous?

Killing living things. It's inhumane.

What the heck are you talking about?

Such powerful inner force.

No, this is the Yun Heart Sutra.

Who exactly are you?!

It's you.

Xiao Yu?

What Yun Heart Sutra? This is Yongying Heart Sutra.

Xiao Yu?

You are alive?

Brother Shen, it has been a long time.

Let's talk about our matters next time.

Let me win this stage first.

Dear Sect Leaders,

I believe she has mastered her demonic skills. It won't be easy to go against her.

Everyone, please join forces

to take down this evil woman together.

Take revenge for Sansi and get rid of evil in the martial arts community.

Ridiculous.

I'm marrying this Head of Martial Arts League.

Whoever dares to stop me, don't blame me for not showing mercy.

Her internal energy is very strong.

If this continues, both parties will be injured.

Head of Martial Arts League, I...

Why do you want to hurt people?

Who told you to select a wife in this competition? I haven't settled this score with you yet.

We are doomed. Xiao Yu still doesn't know that Young Master lost his memories.

We are in a tight spot now. What should we do? Think of a solution now.

Little Flute, actually, regarding this...

Female demon,

I will marry you.
