- My dear - Your Majesty...

Why did you do this? What for?

Please save my baby, Your Majesty

l need to think about it

Look after your child for now

l will have an answer for you soon

Your Majesty...

Don't force him, let him think about it

Niantong

Your Majesty, l think it's best not to save that child

lndeed, Your Majesty

He's so severely injured

lf you save him, you will use up one-third of your strength

Then, at the Duel of Huashan you may lose

Since that man injured the child instead of killing him at once

it may be a ploy to get Your Majesty to save him and use up your strength

Besides, he's just the bastard child of Zhou Botong

lndeed, Your Majesty

That's enough. Say no more

Leave me for now Let me think in peace and quiet

Yes, Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Please get up...

Your hair has turned white overnight

- Ying, you're suffering so much - Your Majesty

How can l bear...

not to help you?

Your Majesty, you'll save Niantong?

l will be eternally grateful

Please get up. Let me see

Your Majesty

Mandarin ducks long to be together when they are weaved

What a lovely phrase this is

''mandarin ducks long to be together when they are weaved''

Your Majesty

''Pity her whose hair is white before she is old''

The two of you wish to grow old together

And l?

You would leave me here to be a lonely Emperor?

This child is not my flesh and blood

Why should l spend all of my hard-earned internal strength to save him?

Your Majesty, you are heartless

No, l am not heartless

but there is no one in the world capable of such extreme benevolence

Your Majesty

Leave

Your Majesty

My Lady, His Majesty will not save him

Seek help elsewhere

Your Majesty, let me ask you again

Are you really heartless?

Don't ask me anymore

Niantong

l'm so useless. l can't save you

Niantong

You will never suffer again

Your Majesty, you're too heartless

l will remember this grievance forever

These jade bangles

were you gift to me when l came to the palace

The next time you see them

shall be the day of my revenge Remember that

How can this be?

So Yinggu and Master have a past like this

l get it now

Yinggu must have switched those Nine Flower Jade Pills

Why?

Do you remember

Yinggu taking those pills into the room saying

she'd let me take them with water?

l guess she must have switched them with poisonous pills then

and so l would bring them here to Master

lt makes sense

Yinggu is a ruthless woman indeed

Master, what does the drawing from Yinggu mean?

lt tells of a fairy tale from Tianzhu Empire

A pigeon was hunted by an eagle

So it went to seek refuge behind a kind, old monk

The eagle said

it must eat the pigeon or else it will starve to death

The kind, old monk said

''l must protect this pigeon...

but l don't want the eagle to die What should l do?''

So he cut his own flesh from his body to feed the eagle

But the eagle said

''Your flesh is not as plentiful as that of the pigeon''

So the kind, old monk put his own flesh and the pigeon on the scales

He found that his flesh was indeed less than the pigeon's weight

So he continued to cut his own flesh

until the scales were balanced

The eagle was then satisfied

l get it. Yinggu was afraid you wouldn't heal me

so she wanted to move you with this drawing

Yes

Teacher, someone has sent this for you

''Mandarin ducks long to be together when they are weaved''

''Pity her whose hair is white before she is old''

lt was but a dream, after all

May Buddha have mercy on us

ls this the token of love of Yinggu and Zhou Botong?

lndeed

Teacher, Yinggu must be on her way up

- We must go and stop her - No, let her be

l was the one who didn't save a life because of my anger

l have sinned

l really owe her too much

lf she wants to kill me

l can totally understand

Teacher...

Please get up, all of you

By the way, you're not involved in this

You should leave

ln that case, we'll say goodbye now

- Rong-er - Follow me

Elder brothers

Leave us

Yes sir

Wait

Have you any instructions?

Remember, when you leave

go as far as you can

Never turn back no matter what happens

Brother

Listen to your brother

He's still a child after all

Aren't you two leaving?

Rong-er, why don't we save Master Yideng?

We forgot to tell Master Yideng something

That's right

''Mandarin ducks long to be together when they are weaved''

''Pity her whose hair is white before she is old''

''From the glorious times in Spring to the depths of the Winter''

Master Yideng

You're still here?

- We... - We want to bid you farewell

Alright, please take care

Master, you must take care too

Master Yideng, we're sorry. We...

- Teacher, what are you up to? - What are you up to?

We want to save him

Save him?

Big Brother, will that nasty girl's plan work?

How should l know?

But l guess we can only give it a chance

Why isn't she here?

Maybe she changed her mind

She's here

Greetings, my Lady

Don't call me that

The Lady is dead

Yinggu, Master Yideng is meditating and does not want to see anyone

Do you think the four of you can stop me?

My Lady, you can't go

My Lady, don't go...

lt's you. Has the lass fully recovered?

Thanks to your guidance Master Yideng has healed Rong-er

Then, get lost

- Please go no further - You're going to stop me?

lf you insist, l'm going to have to offend

Don't think l'll be grateful for your going easy on me

Either kill me, or let me pass

Madam, madam

Great skills

lt's you, young lass

First, l must thank you for saving my life

Don't thank me

l told you to come here so l can kill someone

and not to save you

l know that But l won't let you kill the innocent

What do you know? Get lost

l know everything

Master Yideng has told me everything

lt was a moment of anger for him at the time

l'm here for revenge and not to listen to reason

You've saved me before l'm sure you won't kill me

Anyone who gets in my way for vengeance, must die

Do you dare to kill me?

Everyone fears Old Heretic, except me

- l can help you - What can you do?

Don't you miss Zhou Botong?

You know where he is?

l'll tell you once you leave Mount Yideng

Nonsense

Old man Duan, you're finally dead

My dearest child

your mother have avenged you

My dearest child your mother have avenged you...

Ying

You

Ying

Who is he?

Brother Jing, are you alright?

l'm fine. lt's just skin-deep

Master Yideng, why did you come out?

Thank you both for your kind efforts

But this matter is between Yinggu and me

Please don't interfere

Ying

l know

you've waited for this day for a long time

This is fate

Go ahead and kill me

Yes, l've waited for this day

for a long time

Yinggu, you had an affair with Zhou Botong

Master Yideng was kind to you

He didn't kill you and let you stay on in the palace

He had been nice to you How can you kill him?

lt's none of your business

Madam, Master Yideng did not kill your child

You should seek the true murderer instead

l said that this matter does not concern the both of you

Ying, l have been waiting for this day

like you have

All these years

l have been burdened with guilt

l had hoped that you would come earlier so that l can repay this debt to you

Ying

Go on

Ying

Please don't send us any further, Master Yideng

Amitabha

The four of you should rest more as well

Guo Jing, l have translated and summarised

the Jiuyin manual for you in Chinese characters

- You still remember it? - Yes, l do

Things change with time

A new generation emerges

stronger than the old

The reign of East Heretic, West Venom

South Emperor and North Beggar is near its end

Guo Jing, you must take good care of yourself

Ready!

What are you doing?

l wanted to see if you've improved after guidance from a true master

l can't compare to Master Yideng

You'll surpass him one day, silly

Do you still want revenge?

Master Yideng has recovered

No, l'm just waiting here for you

- Waiting for us? - Young lass

don't you remember promising to live with me for a year

and teach me profound mathematics if you recover?

Live with you for a year?

No, l'd be so bored

- You're going back on your word? - Don't be so fierce

How about this?

lf l don't have to live with you

l'll find Zhou Botong for you

You know where he is?

- No, l don't - You don't?

Madam, we really don't know

- Are you trying to fool me? - No, we're not

Even though l don't know where he is l am the Leader of Beggar Sect

with 300 thousand members

One command from me

and we will find him no matter where he's hiding

Would you really help me?

You've helped me once anyway

Miss Mu, you must consider this carefully

l am very clear about my decision

l have no other choice but tojoin the nunnery

There is no such thing

as having no other choice in this world

Miss Mu, you should go back home

l really wish tojoin the nunnery

To be a nun, you must be free of emotion

Your tears prove that

you are still entangled in the affairs of your world

You are not ready to be a nun

l have decided already

Alright, you're a weak girl on your own

lt's not convenient for you to wander around on your own

How about this, you can stay here for the time being

and think carefully

lf you really wish to be a nun

l will grant your wish

Priestess

Perhaps after you've stayed here for some time

you might change your mind

l won't, l won't

Teacher...

Yes?

We were getting water from the well when we saw this man who has fainted

Be careful

He's alright

He fainted because of fatigue

- Take him into the guest room to rest - Yes

Bodhisattva, you are cruel

l have forgotten this man

Why did you have to bring him to me?

You're too cruel

What a sin, what a sin

Priestess

Everyone has debts incurred from their past lives

How can you blame Bodhisattva?

l...

Did that young man come to look for you?

No, he's not here to look for me

l don't know him

But he's been calling your name while being subconscious

lt can't be...

Listen to me

Go and see him

Every problem has a solution

Our problem cannot be solved

l've had enough

l've had enough of pain

He only cares about wealth and power

Miss

Priestess, please stop persuading me

To me, he is dead

- Teacher... - What is it?

That man seems to have gone mad He's smashing things

l'll go take a look

Priestess

Please don't tell him l'm here

l beg of you

A debt from the past life indeed

Why?

Sir, take it easy

Did a woman come here?

Answer me!

- Speak! - l don't know

No one has been here

You're lying

l'm not

You're the only one here

No, people at the bottom of the hill said she's been here

This mountain is big

Even if she did come up

she may not have come to us at Yingyue Retreat

Sir, this is a religious retreat

it's not convenient for you to be here

Priestess, according to what you said she's been here then?

What do you want?

Priestess, Nianci is my wife

l know l've done her wrong

But please, let me see her

Priestess, l expect you to be a good, kind person

Can you bear to see a couple torn apart living in agony?

But she has said that she doesn't want to see you

So, she's really here

Take me to her at once

l can't

lf you don't take me to her l will burn this place down

Sir

Are you killing again?

- Amitabha - Nianci

Go away

l won't

Forget it, it's over

l can slowly forget you

and you can do the same

Nianci, l can never forget you

- Listen to me - l won't. You talk too much

Alright, if you go into the room l'll kill everyone here

Yang Kang, you haven't changed

ln your eyes

there is nothing but killing and doing evil

You're hopeless

Carry on killing people

With every victim

l will only hate you more

You can even kill me

Nianci, l won't kill anyone

l really won't

Nianci

l will stop killing

Nianci...

Nianci...

l know you haven't forgotten me l know it

You're totally wrong. ln my mind

Yang Kang doesn't exist

You're lying

At least you're talking to me

l'm just making myself clear

Yang Kang, l know you too well

You've said you'd change many times

but disappoint me again and again

l can't go on like this

Nianci, please give me one last chance

l've given you too many chances

Nianci, l'll treat you even better from now on

l'll obey your every word

- Really? - Yes

- l doubt it - l will, l surely will

l want you to kill Wanyan Honglie

and take his head to the altars of your dead parents

Then, disable your own skills

and apologise to pugilists of the world

Can you do that?

lf you can't

it's no use being good to me

l don't want a husband like you

l just want an ordinary man

And we own a cottage and a small piece of land

to feed ourselves and not suffer grievances and pain

Can you do it?

- Priestess, has he gone? - Yes, he has

You haven't eaten all day

Why don't you eat something?

l have no appetite

This won't do

Priestess, l've decided

l want to be a nun

You mustn't be rash

l'm not

lt's the only way for me to forget my pain

and truly be a human being

Priestess, please help me

Have you thought it over clearly?

Yes

l am sure

Since you're truly weary of worldly affairs

Alright, l'll grant your wish

Thank you, Priestess

Go and have some food now

l'll make arrangements for tomorrow morning

Alright

Come and take a look

Nianci

Nianci, look

Nianci...

Priestess

Get him out of here. Chase him out

You should rest

l don't want to see him

Nianci

Priestess, please take my tonsure now

l can't do it now

But you've promised me

Yes, l have promised you

But l have just checked your pulse

You're pregnant

Nianci

Master Yang, Miss Mu is very weak

You must take good care of her

l know, l know

Let's go out

Nianci

l know l done much wrong and you won't forgive me

But l won't give up

because l can't live without you

l can't even

go one day without seeing you

l must have you

l want you to know that l'm sincere this time

Nianci

Do you know that

l've built a cottage outside

lf you won't forgive me

l will live there forever

until l die

Nianci, do you know that?

l want to eat something

What?

l'm hungry. l need to eat

Nianci, you'll forgive me?

Our child

cannot be fatherless

Yes, indeed

l will not only be good to you

l will be a great father too

What shall we name him?

What's a good name?

Wanyan...

What goes well with Wanyan?

Wanyan...

Nianci

lt's all over

Now that l have your child

l must leave you for sure

l don't want my child

to have Wanyan as his surname

l know if l were to go back with you

our child will turn out like you

He'll become another Yang Kang

His father is beyond hope

Does he have to share the same fate?

Kang, forgive me

For our child

l have to do this

Don't worry

l will do my best

to raise our child into adulthood

Kang, forgive me

Nianci

Nianci, why did you leave?

Why have you left, Nianci?
