Hurry, Old lmp...

Wait for me

l'll give this to you if you can catch me

Hurry, Old lmp...

Don't go!

lf the pinwheel turns quickly

you wouldn't owe people money and you'll recover quickly

Give it back...

- Can't l play with it for a while more? - Don't spoil it, my brother gave it to me

Why the long face?

You can have it, it's no big deal!

Old lmp, please behave yourself and stop running and shouting on the streets

How dare you lecture me, you old beggar!

Hong Qigong used to be the leader of the Beggar Sect

And he's the teacher of the current leader of the sect

Therefore, he's better than you

Stupid girl, don't be so smug!

Perhaps the young disciples of the old beggar will refuse

to acknowledge you as their leader because you're too ugly

You...

- Rong-er - Teacher

We've already arrived in Zhengzhou

There are many members of the Beggar Sect here

lf they see you like this you'll lose your dignity

How are you going to earn their respect?

Give it back!

Brother Jing

Stop playing with him, let's go

- l won't let you have this - Don't be like that, brother will get angry

Brother Jing

Are you alright?

Watch where you're going

l'm sorry...

The people here are so rude

Jing, what is it?

Teacher, the people here really rude

They scold others when they bump into them

Oh no... My purse is gone

Brother Jing

lt must've been stolen by that man

- lt must be him - After him

Let's go take a look too

Don't go!

Give me back my purse

How dare you ask me for your purse Do you know who l am?

Who are you then?

Steady now, don't get a shock when you hear this

- l'm a disciple of the Beggar Sect - What?

You're from the Beggar Sect?

You'd better not boast or your teeth will fall out

You're so well-dressed, you don't look like a disciple of the Beggar Sect

You're so ignorant

l'm from the Jingyi Division of the Beggar Sect

What?

Open your eyes and take a closer look!

Why aren't you paying your respects to Hong Qigong if you're a member of the sect?

This old man is the leader of our sect, Hong Qigong?

l think he looks like an old scoundrel

Watch your mouth

Jing, forget it

Give me the purse

No

- Are you going to hand it over? - No

Really?

- Alright... - Give it back

lt's your lucky day

Mark my words, l'll get my brothers to settle the score with you

That scumbag

Old scoundrel, your disciple is making me very angry

lf it weren't for your sake l'd have given him a good beating

Teacher...

Teacher, you said you were going to take Rong-er to meet the Elders

Why are we here?

To think that l've only been recuperating at the Eternal White Mountain for 6 months

and the Beggar Sect has ended up like this

Teacher, there's a saying that goes

'A large tree will have withered branches and a large clan will have beggars'

These things are inevitable

Just look at what a tyrant that scoundrel was...

There must be someone behind it

What l'm most worried about now is that the important leaders of the Beggar Sect

are also involved in this

Teacher, what's your plan?

Rong-er, you shouldn't meet with the elders of the Beggar Sect for now

After doing our own investigations we'll weed out the scoundrels ourselves

- Jing - Yes

- l need you to do something for me - What is it?

l want you to disguise yourself as a beggar and infiltrate the Beggar Sect

to see if there has been any misbehaviour among the members

Yes

Dress up as a beggar? That sounds like fun! l'll go too. Let's go...

Brother Jing is on serious business he's not going there for fun

Don't l look serious?

lf you won't let me go, l'll go to the Beggar Sect and expose him!

Alright... Go ahead...

- Jing, be careful - Alright

We're off... That's wonderful

Teacher, what about me?

Rong, you'll stay here for now

l'll tell you about our rules and teach you the Dog-beating Stick Technique

Okay

Please spare a coin...

That old beggar is really too much

My legs are all soft but we've yet to see any beggars. How do we join the sect?

lt's really strange. There isn't a single beggar on the entire street

l know, they must've picked up some gold and become very rich...

Stopjoking around, Brother We're on serious business here

Serious business?

- Let's take a look over there - Alright

l'm so tired, where can we find them? Let's sit down and take a rest

Are the both of you from the Wuyi Division?

Yes... You can tell from the way we look

Alright, come back with us

Why should l follow you? Do you like how we smell?

Stop talking!

- What do you want with us? - Stop talking and follow us

Stop fighting! Let's pretend we were injured and join the Beggar Sect

Alright

After l hit you just now l felt very giddy...

l'm feeling giddy too

Get them

Elder Peng, we've captured 2 members of the Wuyi Division

You look like you've only just joined the Beggar Sect

- Yes, just this morning - Kneel down

Change out of your clothes

Leave the Wuyi Division and join our Jingyi Division

You mustn't pass up on the nice new clothes

lt doesn't matter which division we're from We're all members of the Beggar Sect

Why must you force us tojoin the Jingyi Division?

You've just joined us so there are some things you're not aware of

Though the Jingyi and Wuyi Divisions are both part of the Beggar Sect

but they have always been at odds

Those of us from the Jingyi Division hate those dirty, smelly beggars

lf you don't join us it means that you are our enemy

Elder Peng, pardon me for being blunt

But since we all belong to the Beggar Sect

- why must we fight amongst ourselves? - How dare you!

Who are you to lecture me?

Elder Peng, they look very suspicious

They could be spies sent here by the Wuyi Division

We're not spies! We're loyal people

- Guards! - Yes

Lock them up for now

l'll deal with them

- after l've taken care of Lu Youjiao - Yes

Come over here

How can you be fooling around when we've yet to find out anything?

There's nothing fun to do and nothing to eat. This is so boring!

Are you alright?

You...

Are you members of the Wuyi Division who have been captured by them?

- Yes - Yes

We mustn't give in

We must remain loyal to Leader Hong and Elder Lu

- That's right - Young man, don't be afraid

Elder Lu will lead members of the Wuyi Division here to negotiate soon

Elder Lu will definitely save us

The members of the Wuyi Division are coming to negotiate? When will they arrive?

Don't worry

l think they'll be here very soon

Brother

This is terrible

What is?

What if the negotiations go wrong and they start fighting?

What should we do then?

l'll stay here and try to stop them You go back to the temple and fetch teacher

What? No...

You go fetch Qigong and l'll stay here to stop them

No... You...

End of discussion! l'm good-looking so they won't fight if they see me

- Alright then, let's split up - Alright

You should go from here

- Wait for me... - l'm going first

l'm off! Enjoy yourself

Brother...

You needn't pay your respects

l've never acknowledged you as disciples of the Beggar Sect

You...

Why are you here with so many people?

Alright, l'll come straight to the point

l want you to release my fellow disciples at once

Release them?

You injured 18 members of the Jingyi Division that day

How should we settle that score?

They broke the rules of the sect

We were merely helping Leader Hong to weed out the unwanted people

- That's just for your personal interests - You...

- Release them at once - How dare you!

How dare you lecture me?

Unless Leader Hong begs me personally

Move aside

- Aren't you leaving? - You...

Don't go too far

What do you want?

Alright... lt looks like all the enmity between our divisions

must be settled once and for all today

So you're just here to pick a fight?

l never expected that you'd have no feelings for the sect at all

Attack!

Stop fighting...

You shouldn't fight if you're so clumsy

- Why fight when you're already so old? - How did you get out?

How dare you hit me?

The 18th regulation of the sect states that

as the leader, you must spend the first 10 days of the month

living with the Jingyi Division

You're allowed to wear normal clothes and enjoy good food

As for the last 10 days of the month

you must live with the Wuyi Division

and beg for a living just like the other members of the Wuyi Division

What a strange regulation!

l set that regulation after l became the leader of the sect

because for all these years

the Wuyi and Jingyi Divisions have always been at odds

l set this rule because l don't want them to vie for my favour

l'll only look forward to the first 10 days and not the last 10 days of the month

Rong-er, as the leader you have to treat everyone equally

You must remember that

Ever since l became the leader

although l haven't accomplished anything major

but l'm very pleased that

the Wuyi and Jingyi Divisions have never had any domestic disputes

Get up and fight!

Teacher, how was my Coiling Dragon Technique?

Not bad, but you need to use more strength

Try attacking me now

Teacher...

- Jing, what is it? - Something terrible has happened

What is it?

The Wuyi and Jingyi Divisions are fighting amongst themselves

Follow me, teacher

Brother...

Brother...

Brother...

l told you to stop them from fighting How did it end up like this?

How can they be persuaded when they're all in such a rage?

Old Beggar, they're still fighting inside

Stop it!

Leader?

Our respects to you

Do you still regard me as your leader?

Before l left, l urged you time and again to live in harmony and help one another

Have you all forgotten?

Sir, there're things you aren't aware of

While you were not around, Lu Youjiao

insulted the Jingyi Division and injured 18 of our members

Sir, Elder Peng turned a blind eye to the misbehaviour of his men

They broke our rules so l had no choice but to teach them a lesson

- Rubbish - Speak for yourself

Quiet!

To think that it has come to this in just half a year's time

- Sir - That's enough

The most important thing now is to go out and save our injured brothers

Then, return here and await my orders

- Yes - Yes

Old Beggar Your disciples are quite obedient

Old lmp

Teacher

My esteemed predecessors in Heaven

l have let you all down

You handed the Beggar Sect over to me

l haven't brought it any glory

and now it has fallen to such a state

My predecessors

l have truly let you all down

Teacher

- Are you crying? - No, l'm not

lt's their fault it has nothing to do with you

No, it's all my fault

Don't be like this, teacher

lt's all my fault

l have spoiled them for all these years

l tolerated them even when they've done wrong

They didn't dare to misbehave when l was around

- But when l left, it turned out like this - Teacher

Rong-er, you must remember not to follow in my footsteps

You must reward and punish judiciously

and apply the carrot and the stick prudently, alright?

Rong-er

l know...

lt must be hard on you to take on such a big responsibility

at such a young age

But Rong-er

please agree to it for my sake

You must reorganise the Beggar Sect and bring glory to its name

Teacher, rest assured that

l'll definitely do my best

Don't be too worried. Let's go out

Sir, the injured disciples have already received medical attention

Please punish us according to the regulations of the sect

l am no longer your leader l have no right to punish you

- Why? - l have handed over the leadership position

to Miss Huang Rong She is your new leader

But Sir, you are in your prime now Why are you abandoning us?

Please consider the interests of the sect

Sir, please reconsider

Yes

l was injured several times by Ouyang Feng

Though l have practised very hard for the past few months

but l'm now left with only half of my martial arts skills

l'm useless now

Even if you lose all your skills

all the members of the Beggar Sect will still support you

That's right

The date for the Duel of Huashan is drawing near

l wish to regain my skills as soon as possible

So l will need to find a quiet place to practise my skills without being disturbed

l'm afraid that l won't have the time to take care of the matters in the sect

- Sir - Sir

Rong-er, you are now the leader of the sect

We await your orders, Miss Huang

- Elder Peng and Elder Chen - Yes

Allowing your disciples to imprison fellow members of the sect is a serious offence

l'm going to demote you to being Guardians and strip you of your status as Elders

Do you yield?

Yes

- Elder Lu and Elder Wang - Yes

You acted rashly without proper thought

l'm demoting you from being a 9-Sack Elder to an 8-Sack Elder

Thank you

Alright... You can all get up now

Yes

There's something else l need your help with

Tell us what to do

Our precious Jade Staff has been lost

So Miss Huang doesn't have any token of authority

l hope that the 4 of you can escort he

to Yuezhou to take part in the convention at Xuanyuan Terrace

and announce the transfer of my leadership to Miss Huang to everyone

Yes

l hope the 4 of you can help Miss Huang bring glory to our sect

Yes

Alright, that's all. You may go out now

Yes

Teacher, was l right to punish them like that?

You did very well

You make quite an imposing leader

Of course!

Rong-er, now l can practise my skills in peace

- Elder Peng - Sit down

Sir, please spare me some money to buy food

What a coincidence, Elder Peng

l shouldn't call you that

l should be calling you Guardian Peng

He's from the Wuyi Division You mustn't fight him

Scoundrel!

l'm going to teach you a lesson

- Elder Lu - Save me, Elder Lu

- ls this place for the likes of you? - Elder Lu, he beat me up

Really?

You must have provoked him

No, Elder Lu, l really didn't...

We used to be without a leader

That's why he could misbehave

But with Miss Huang in charge, she'll hand out rewards and punishments judiciously

l don't think anyone will dare break the rules again

Let's go

Things are different now, Guardian Peng

This is preposterous!

A man who loses his position will be subjected to much indignity

lf it was in the past l'd have beaten him up

The Wuyi Division is using their authority to their advantage

Huang Rong hasn't assumed leadership yet but she's already behaving like the leader

What reason did she have to demote you to being a Guardian?

Have you finished? Get lost!

- l was merely stating the facts - Get lost!

Hurry, Old Beggar

Alright, stop making so much noise!

Amongst the 4 Elders, Elder Peng from the Jingyi Division is the most likeable

Elder Lu from the Wuyi Division often offends others, but that being said

all of them don't mean any harm So you mustn't judge a book by its cover

- And... - Alright...

You've already repeated it 99 times!

- Really? - Teacher

Are you worried that Rong-er won't manage the Beggar Sect properly?

You

Teacher, don't worry. l'll definitely take good care of your disciples

They'll all be in good hands

That's wonderful

Remember, you must be nicer to Jing and not provoke him all the time

Old Beggar, only people who are dying will become as long-winded as you are

Tell them the rest when they visit your grave

lt's getting dark and it's going to rain

Rong, Jing, the both of you should be getting back. You don't have to send me off

Let me get this straight. l'm only taking over as the leader temporarily

When you get well, l'll return the leadership to you

Silly girl, there are many people who covet this position but are unable to get it

l'm only assuming leadership for you because you're so nice. What's so good about it?

What are you doing, brother?

The Old Beggar is so long-winded He hasn't finished even after l took a nap

Look, he's still holding on to Rong-er's hand and talking non-stop

Alright, you should get going

Jing, go on...

Let's go

- Are you Mr Peng? - Yes

Who are you? Why is the Jade Staff of the Beggar Sect in your hands?

l am Prince Wanyan Kang of the Jin empire

My respects to you, Elder Peng

Jin scoundrel!

l've heard that you are an important member of the Beggar Sect

Hand over the Jade Staff and release me at once

Release you?

The Beggar Sect is a force to be reckoned with in the region of Jiangbei

lf you dare harm me in any way

the 300,000 members of my sect can cause a lot of trouble for you

That's right

l'm aware that your sect plays a decisive role with regards to the Jin empire

That's why l took the liberty of inviting you here today

You call this an invitation?

Your sect is at odds with my country

Every time our troops venture southwards

your sect always creates trouble for u

You guys assassinate our generals destroy our granaries

and much more

Killing our enemies and ridding our country of evil

is the responsibility of every member of the Beggar Sect

Especially when it comes to Jin scoundrels like you!

Alright

Spoken like a true righteous hero

You seem to have already forgotten about how you bully your colleagues

and how you allowed your disciples to tyrannise the people

l'm a person who values talent

lf you are talented l won't bother about your personal affairs

That is the biggest difference between me and Huang Rong

Fancy a grown man like you

listening to the orders of an inexperienced young girl

Don't you find it humiliating?

You don't have to try to sow discord

What do you want?

Alright, l'll come straight to the point

l want you to help me become the leader of the Beggar Sect

That's ridiculous! l want to become the leader of the Beggar Sect too

But Hong Qigong didn't let me do it

l have the Jade Staff, so l've got a plan

But l'll need your help

- l won't betray the Beggar Sect - Alright

lt's your choice. Anyway...

l hate to force others

lf you want to be a hero

that's fine with me

What? Are you afraid now?

Elder Peng, you've done so much for the Beggar Sect

and you're so loyal to Hong Qigong

But what have you gained from it?

Elder Peng, if you're willing to help me

you'll receive all this gold

And l can also assure you that

the Beggar Sect will be yours in the future

Think about it carefully, Elder Peng

l don't know what Leader Hong was thinking

Why did he hand the Beggar Sect to that girl?

She's still so young and she's of the weaker sex

How can she be put in charge?

What's the use of saying all that? Here... Let's have another drink

- No - What are you afraid of?

- Let's drink to our hearts' content - No

We have to leave for Yuezhou tomorrow morning so we shouldn't get drunk

Elder Chen

Elder Peng!

Be careful

Brother Wang

Brother Lu, be careful...

Elder Peng, are you alright?

Let's go

After them!

Brother Chen

Brother Wang...

- Look over there - Yes

l'm leaving for Yuezhou tomorrow

Meet me after you're done

Your Highness, Miss Mu will...

She'll be coming with me

- Why aren't you asleep yet? - l didn't see you the whole day

Where have you been?

Can l not answer that question?

Why are you getting all worked up?

Alright... l'll tell you

l went to the Beggar Sect just now

What did you go there for?

l wanted Hong Qigong to accept me as his disciple

You...

What are you up to now?

A wife knows her husband the best

When l killed Ouyang Ke at the Niu Family Village

l was so afraid Because if word got out

Ouyang Feng will definitely tear me to pieces

That's why l need the support of someone powerful

And l have another motive forjoining the Beggar Sect

Kang, why do you still not understand?

Can't you do anything else besides causing harm to others?

Nianci, what are you thinking?

l just don't want to be an ordinary person who gets oppressed by others

l want to carve a name for myself in the world

and regain my original status

without going back to Wanyan Honglie

- Kang - Nianci

This is my only chance to make a name for myself

Was Hong Qigong willing to accept you as his disciple?

He refused, that's why l knelt there for the entire night

You deserve it for doing so many bad deeds in the past

Luckily, Guo Jing helped me put in a good word

Really?

Qigong finally accepted me as his disciple

But that's only in name

He's going to observe me for a while before teaching me any skills

He wants me to go to Yuezhou to settle some issues

There's going to be a major convention at Xuanyuan Terrace on the 15th of July

Kang, it's good that Hong Qigong has agreed to forget about the past

You must behave yourself from now on

The Beggar Sect has always been responsible for opposing evil-doers

lt's inevitable that we've made some enemies

Someone must be trying to get back at us this time

by trying to assassinate our leader

l don't think so

lf l'm not wrong those people were after you

Attacking me was merely a cover-up

That's right

lf they really wanted to kill Rong-er

they should have come prepared to succeed at all costs

But the 4 of them didn't seem eager to fight

And the three people who were after you

were twice as skilled as the four who were after me

Why were they after me?

We'll have to ask you that

Elder Lu, what do you mean by that?

Stop arguing

No matter who they're after

it's to the detriment of the sect We mustn't let them off

But they are very efficient and their moves are very strange

lt looks like they are trying to conceal the origins of their skills

Miss Huang, at this point in time

we should just make our way to Yuezhou first
