Episode 14

Alright.

We should break up.

Then I go back to Shuixi.

What's your next plan?

I'm going to go to Tongren first.

And then,

just let it be.

Will

you go to Shuixi?

I've no idea.

What's going on?

Did I say something wrong?

If I said something wrong, you should tell me.

Anyway, I won't correct it.

I saved your life.

You can't

beat your lifesaver.

I promised to sing a song for you.

I will practice it and

sing it for you when you come to me.

What do you say?

Nothing.

So weird.

She fell in love with me, didn't she?

Big brother.

I have packed all things up.

Let's go back to Tongren.

Go back to Tongren.

We're back.

Young lord, you are back.

Young lord, you are finally back.

I, Ye Xiaotian,

show my respect to Master Li.

Where

have you been these days?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Well, I went to the village and visited my relatives.

I was hurry,

so I didn't ask for leaving.

Please forgive me.

It's good to have you back.

It's good to have you back.

Alas.

You are going to take the exam soon.

You shouldn't go far away.

I can read and write,

but I have no deep understanding on knowledge

and I've learned too much.

I can't keep calm when I study.

So I visited my relatives to relieve boredom.

You should blame me.

I was so hurry and didn't tell you.

You should blame me because I am not smart.

So I don't know whether I can pass the exam…

You just study hard.

About passing the exam,

I think if you are good at writing poems with good handwriting,

or if you are not that bad,

I can help you.

Got it.

Got it.

Sect Leader.

You scared me.

-What are you doing? -Shhh.

Tell me.

What is

Elder Dongtian doing inside?

He

is good at voodo skills.

He studies these things every night.

Tonight,

I guess he is studying some new poisons.

It's said that if he is strong enough,

he can fight an ox to death.

Is that true?

But if he is out of control,

he would become a fool.

Sect Leader.

If you are interested,

you can have a try.

No need.

Tell him to go to bed earlier.

Sect Leader.

You should go to bed now.

I, Ye Xiaotian, was a jailer.

I never expected that

I could become the Sect Leader here

and I even could take exams.

Thanks to my ancestors blessing and protection.

I can't find it.

Guiyang

My Lady.

Xu Boyi is here.

Got it.

My Lady, I'm here.

You've fallen back on the Tian family.

Its' easy to

arrange a job for you in Tongren.

If you want to go further,

you should pass the exam for chin-shih or be a provincial graduate.

I want you to take the exam and become a provincial graduate.

What do you think?

As you wish.

Alright.

You go to prepare for the exam.

If you make it,

I will help you in your career.

Thank you. My Lady.

Big brother.

Big brother.

How do you feel?

It's easy.

I guess it right.

Our Sect Leader…

Our big brother

will pass the exam for sure, right?

I think

you can even pass the palace exam.

Judicial Clerk Ai.

Big brother. Have you smelt it yet?

The air around us is smelly.

I haven't.

Ning'er

is not with you?

Xu Boyi.

You're so shameless.

You've been seen by others

when doing that kind of things.

You still think about Ning'er?

Are you here

for investigation?

I don't know what you are talking about.

I am Ye Xiaotian.

I don't need to investigate any cases.

Then what are you doing in the Hu County?

I was there to

help the officials find out the murderer.

So I had to pretend as the judicial clerk.

Actually, I am a literator.

I don't believe you.

Are you here to take the exam?

So what?

I've heard that

no people passed the exam in the past five years.

So I come here today.

Well.

You are so confident.

In fact,

I was not confident.

But when I see you now,

I feel relieved.

What do you mean?

Even you, a bastard,

could pass the exam,

I think it's not that difficult.

You son of a bitch.

You are disgraceful.

I really want to have a bowl of noodles with sauce paste.

Let's go and enjoy noodles with sauce paste.

Now I can breathe.

It's so smelly.

Even you want to pass the exam?

You are daydreaming.

Ning'er is not with him.

That means I still have the chance.

Great.

I will pass the exam

and prove to her that

I love her

not because of her family's power.

Yang Yinglong is ambitious.

And the Imperial Court has known that.

Ye Xiaotian has become the leader of the Voodo Sect.

That's so interesting.

Yang Yinglong has made so many plans and

always wants to become the Sect Leader.

He never expected that he would pay a double penalty.

My lord.

I met a killer in the mountain this time.

He is skillful as the murderer who killed Lord Ai.

I believe he is one of Yang Yinglong's followers.

I will investigate the case.

Those villagers of the Voodo Sect

have not registered for households.

They are beyond the arm of the law.

Now Ye Xiaotian is with them,

he has nothing to fear.

It's so good.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo.

So exciting.

I show my respect to you, my lord.

Get up.

Men.

Bring his robe.

Thank you, my lord.

Today is a big day.

We should appreciate poems.

I suddenly have the feeling of poetizing.

Do you want to hear that?

Since you are in the mood,

I want to hear it for sure.

I'm all ears.

Got it.

Listen to me.

The one-thousand-year sago cycas

doesn't bloom.

I wonder if it is less than 1,000 years old or not.

This scholar is only 19 years old,

and this wood is not better than him.

Good poem.

Good poem.

My lord, you use a parable in your poem.

You compare a tree to a man.

It's meaningful and

evocative.

It can call for our deep thought.

It's a good poem for sure.

He is so shameless.

Where is his vigour of style as a scholar?

He licks his shoes like this.

I can't do this.

Scholar Ye.

How do you think about my poem?

Good.

I've heard that my lord governs Tongren and develop this place

with your decorative embellishments of writing.

And you enjoy a good fame in the scholarly circles.

Your poems

are affectionate

and meanful.

Today I am so lucky to appreciate your poem,

I think what they said is true.

You know me.

This poem is a bit profound actually.

Only people like you full of learning

and

well-educated

can understand its meaning.

You are so young,

but so talented.

It's pity that

you are just a scholar.

I want to recommend you to take part in

the country examination in Guiyang

and become a provincial graduate.

What do you think?

My lord.

I have little talent and less learning.

It's not that difficult for me

to be a scholar,

but if you want me to become a provincial graduate,

I'm afraid…

In Tongren,

I am the king,

nobody dares to disobey me.

If I want somebody to die,

nobody could save him.

Will you go to Guiyang

and take part in the exam?

I will.

I have to go.

You are so promising.

He pretended as to be a judical clerk and

even took part in the exam with a fake identity.

I think this scholar

really has his story.

Ye Xiaotian

has told so many lies.

How about that?

How about what?

He dared to pretend to be the judical clerk,

because the officials in the Hu County

protected him well.

If you want to tell the truth to people,

you will go against all officials there.

But he even took part in the exam with a fake identity.

He is just a scholar.

He hasn't passed the provincial civil service exam.

About Ye Xiaotian,

you just ignore him.

The urgent task on hand for now is that,

You need take part in the exam and pass it.

I will never disappoint you.

I will do my best

to pay you back for your help.

Provincial graduate?

What I've learned

is pinched and scraped

from those officials in prison

when I was a jailer.

It's not easy to pass the exam.

It's beyond my capability.

That bumpkin

is the local king in this small county.

If I offend him,

I guess

I would be dead meat in a second.

Big brother,

I suppose that you are going to take an exam.

In case you are lucky enough

and pass it,

he will feel delighted.

At that time, you can ask him to put up a notice

and help you find Yingying.

Things will be easy.

If you can't make it as a provincial graduate,

you are a scholar now,

he also feels respectful

and will not blame you, do you think so?

Well,

it sounds reasonable.

Yunfei.

Tell Elder Dong and Duoni that

we are going to Guiyang tomorrow.

Okay.

Yunfei.

Great.

Help me pack up my luggage.

Let's go.

Why do you want to pack up?

I want to go to Guiyang.

I guess

it's not necessary.

Why?

We have promised to

share each other's joys and sorrows.

How could I not go?

Daheng. Listen to me.

You've been left home for so long a time,

your father must worry about you.

What's more, you run around with us

but can't give us a hand.

How about going home

since your father worries about you so much.

Big brother.

Just go home.

Or your father will worry about you.

Take me with you.

No way.

Master is coming.

Daheng.

Daheng.

Father.

Father, why are you here?

Daheng.

You can go with them.

Since you just know how to get me angry at home,

you'd better go with them.

Xiaotian.

Please take him with you.

I…

Thank you, big brother.

Thank you, father.

Remember.

You should write letters to me when you leave home.

You should report your whereabouts.

Don't make me worry about you.

Father, it's not necessary to write letters.

It's a must-do.

Alright. I will

write one every five days

One letter every five days.

Did you hear that?

He is my son

and even bargin with me for that.

I expected you to write letters to me once per seven days.

Since you say it would be once per five days,

then just do as you promised.

If you dare not to do it as you promised,

son,

I will take you back at any time.

Xiaotian.

Remember, when you are together, just stay away from him.

Or he will muck up your clothes.

Please rest assured.

I will keep a certain distance with him.

Right, so that you don't need to

change your clothes frequently.

Red Maple Lake

Yingying.

Yingying.

Yingying.

Are you wrapping coils or packing?

What's on your mind?

Do you have anyone in mind?

No.

I am not missing him.

You just confessed it.

Grandma.

I don't know who the lucky guy is.

You are missing him so much.

Is it Ge Long?

Why do you mention him?

He is just a boor.

Then who is it?

Nobody.

I have promised you that

I will never get married.

I would keep your company.

Silly girl.

You really know how to make me happy.

Come here.

Yingying.

Seat beside me.

Come. Come over here.

Let me tell you.

Having someone in mind

is not shameless.

If you like him

and he also likes you,

you two should be together.

I think Ge Long is a good boy.

If you don't like him,

no need to force yourself.

I know, grandma.

You are the one who cares me most.

You care me most.

Big brother.

We are in Guiyang now.

It's over there. Over there.

At the corner of this street,

it's the Guiyang Hotel.

They sell set meals for lovers.

You can enjoy it with my sister-in-law and

you only need to pay one tael.

It's for promotion.

You and my sister-in-law…

Sorry, big brother.

Do you hate me?

-Sorry. -Why do you touch my tender spot?

Sorry.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

Where are we going? My Lady.

Where are we…

We will go to Guiyang first.

Let's go now.

Father.

How about us getting Yingying engaged with Ge Long?

Ge Long

is a good boy.

But what on earth is on Yingying's mind?

It's me who will make decision for her at last.

No.

Yingying can make her own decision.

You can't decide for her.

Yingying.

Yingying.

Yingying.

Bad news.

Yingying has run away.

Run away?

Don't chase her.

Yingying

doesn't even listen to her father.

You are her father.

But I am your father.

I ask you to let her go.

Go back.

I told you not to come here with me.

You just insisted.

Look at you.

You are ill now.

I feel uncomfortable.

That's good.

It's so hot.

I'd better find you a doctor

and get you some medicine.

Big brother.

Big brother.

Big brother. You are really nice to me.

Why am I not a girl?

If I were a girl,

I would marry you

and have babies with you to

carry on your family name.

We would be so happy.

Daheng.

You are so annoying

even when you are not talking nonsense.

If I don't call you my brother,

I think the God will not tolerate.

Alright.

Don't set your imagination.

Put it on your head.

I will get some medicine for you.

Just have a good rest.

Big brother.

I like you.

Big brother.

I go to get some medicine for Daheng

and then cook some chicken soup for him.

Let me do it.

I want to go, too.

We are hurry on our journey these days.

I think I didn't take good care of him.

Okay.

You go and come back earlier.

We are outsiders here,

so don't get us in trouble.

Rest assured.

Since you have become the leader of the Voodo Sect,

you should learn something about poisonous insects.

There are mountains around here.

We can take a walk and

get some insects back on the way for you

to practice.

Can I not go?

As the Sect Leader,

you should know the secret of poisonous insects.

He's right, Sect Leader.

How about this?

You go with Uncle Dong

and we will come back soon.

Let's go.

Fine.

Let's go.

Ge Long is so annoying.

I just came back to the Red Maple Lake,

then he came over.

Yeah.

Ge Long, that lummox,

doesn't deserve you.

My grandfather was probably senile.

Right, we have engaged when we were young.

And I also said I would marry him.

But I said that words when I was only 3 years old.

How can he be so serious?

Right.

Whoever you get married to is

better than Ge Long.

What? I can't just find a man and get married.

You jump into the river.

My Lady.

It's going to be late.

How about we find a place to stay?

Alright.

You go to find the place.

I will wait for you here.

I'm tired.

Okay.

My Lady.

We're leaving.

Please don't run around.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Brother.

I and Yunfei will go to

get some medicine for Daheng.

You take care of yourself.

I will.

We're leaving, big brother.

There are a lot of trees and dense grass here.

I guess there must be a lot of insects.

I will go to the mountain

and catch some insects for you to practice.

Have a look at this “Secrets of Poisonous Insects” first.

Uncle Dong.

How long will it take?

Not too long.

I'll be right back.

Do you want me to go with you?

I'm fine.

I really want to know how Xiaotian is now.

What's that?

What are you doing?

It's me who just sat here,

didn't you see me?

Sorry.

-Sorry. -My skirt is wet.

Don't run.

Just give me a hand.

Oh, crap.

That girl is hard to deal with.

Why are you running so fast?

You even didn't apologize!

Miss.

Don't be afraid.

Ghost!

They won't bite you.

Uncle Dong.

What happened?

It's you, Sect Leader.

I'm fine.

I just fell down.

The insects are running everywhere.

I heard a girl's scream.

Sect Leader.

Just wait for me here.

I'm going to get those insects back.

I really heard a girl's scream.

Ghost.

Help!

Ghost.

Help!

My Lady. What happened?

Ghost.

Ghost.

I saw a ghost.

It just climbed out of the earth,

holding a jar full of insects in his hands.

Oh my god. I have never done anything bad.

Please don't treat me like this.

Please don't treat me like this.

My Lady.

It hasn't got dark yet. How did you see a ghost?

But it's true.

I've seen it.

it's over there.

Help. Help.

My Lady. Don't move.

We go over and check it out.

Just stay here.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Take care.

It's you.

Do you want to die?

How dare you to bully our Lady?

I…I just come here.

I haven't seen her yet.

How can I scare her?

Do you want to deny it?

How about this?

You take me to your Lady.

We can make it clear

face to face.

And then you will know the truth.

I'm a good man.

About this recipe,

I got it from Uncle Dong.

It's just like mom's cooking.

Bullshit.

How could that be possible?

It has some flavor of Uncle Dong.

Brother.

You must have recovered.

Can you just drink it yourself?

You…

He is ill seriously.

Never mind.

I'm back.

Uncle Dong.

You haven't recovered yet?

Uncle Dong.

Where is my big brother?

Sect Leader?

Hasn't he come back?

I haven't seen him.

It's weird.

He should came back earlier than me.

Is he still on the mountain?

You went out with him, didn't you?

Why do you come back alone?

I guess he is arrested by that girl.

Girl?

Which girl?

Where is she from?

If he is taken away by that girl,

then we get into a big trouble.

The most urgent task for us now is

to find the Sect Leader.

It's lucky that

I still have another

pathfinding bee I cultivated with my secret skills.

With it,

we will find the Sect Leader soon.

What the hell is it?

How could it find my big brother?

Of course, it can.

Because it knows how the Sect Leader's saliva tastes.

So amazing?

Because of my poor eyesight,

I can't see it.

After I release it,

you should keep a close eye on it.

It's over there.

-Keep a close eye on it. -Over there.

Let's go.

Go.

Hurry.

Uncle Dong, take care.

Follow it.

Brother. It's here.

Look.

Hurry.

Brother.

Why is the bee flying back?

Crap.

It is a bee.

It can't swim back.

We must find out big brother. He must be near here.

Uncle Dong.

Is there something wrong?

Nothing.

I just wait for it to fly back.

Take your hand back!

It has been back already.

Alright.

Let's go. We should go and check in the front.

Uncle Dong. This way.

Where have you been?

I really worried about you when I lost touch with you.

Right.

I passed the exam and

I am a scholar now.

Your family will agree us

to be together.

What's more.

You will never be bullied by others any more.

I have a lot of brothers and

every one of them is good at fighting.

Why do you talk like me?

Marry me, will you?

I…I am just a wild boy.

I don't know those honeyed words.

But I really love you.

I, Ye Xiaotian,

want to marry you Xia Yingying.

I like you.

I want to be with you.

I am not afraid of anybody who will break us up, even the emperor.

You are such a fool.

Actually, after the day I left you,

my heart is connected

with yours.

I feel happy if you are happy.

I feel sad if you are sad.

I will be with you forever.

Do you mean that

you agree to marry me?

Come on.

Yunfei. Take care.

Come on.

Yunfei. Take care.

Duoni.

What happened now?

I don't know what to do.

Yunfei.

Come on.

Stop.

Sister-in-law.

Take back you knives.

They are Xiaotian's friends.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Where have you been?

My big brother has been looking for you these days.

He was missing you so much.

Look at him. He has lost weight.

I was really worried about him.

It's true.

What's more,

I was worried about

both my big brother and you.

Look at me. I have been out of shape.

I see that.

Poor you. You've lost so much weight.

Poor me.

Duoni.

I knew this voice.

Ghost!

Stay calm.

It's a mistake. Mistake.

Alright.

Now everything is clear.

We are family in the future.

Uncle Dong.

Yingying.

Alright.

Since you are all here,

I have a piece of good news

for you today.

Yingying.

She has agreed to marry me.

Ge Long.

Why are you here?

Are you stalking me?

Have you told my whereabouts to him?

Lord Ge Long.

Is she the girl you were looking for?

Landlord?

Thank you.

Thank you, my lord.

You are so annoying.

Why are you stalking me?

Yingying.

There are too many bad men in the world.

You leave home alone

without bodyguards.

I am worrying about you.

Stop nagging.

Alright.

I will ask several bodyguards to protect me.

Alright?

You just leave here.

Leave here now.

Since I have found you,

there is no need to trouble the others.

You will be safe and sound

with me.

Who are they?

They are my friends.

And he is my lover.

Lover?

Yingying.

You have promised to marry me.

You can't eat your words.

Xia Yingying.

Is that true?

Can you explain?

Ge Long, Are you insane?

I said that words when I was only three years old.

You must be joking.

Let me tell you.

I have decided to marry him.

Marry him?

He is shorter than me.

With no status

or even muscles,

how can he compete with me?

I want to fight with you.

I accept your challenge.

Xiaotian.

That day,

I will invite all rich and powerful people of Shuixi

to witness the moment.

The loser will leave Yingying forever.

What do you think?

It's okay.

In three days,

I will be waiting for you at Huaxi.

I, Ye Xiaotian, promise to meet you there.

It's a deal.

Let's go back to the bedroom.

Let's go. Go.

Are you an idiot?

You don't know Kungfu.

Why did you promise to fight with him?

What's wrong?

Well, Ge Long, he is…

Do you know

how strong Ge Long is?

You will fight with him？

He once beat a bull to death with one punch.

So what?

Well, he…

Silly.

I said I will marry you.

I won't be afraid of anybody.

But…

No need to worry about me.

Xiaotian is a real man.

I like him as well.

He even can beat a bull to death with one punch.

Well, since I am not that strong as a bull,

I must be beaten to death by him with one punch.

Big brother.

You were so brave just now.

Why are you afraid now?

That's because your sister-in-law was on the scene.

How could I be a coward?!

What should I do in three days?
