[Opening OST: "Young Warriors"] [By Wang Sulong — Lyrics by Wang Sulong and Zuo Muxiu]

♫ The dark green sea is hazy ♫

♫ dissipating in a flash. ♫

♫ Rivers and lakes divide the world. ♫

♫ Ten thousands arrows are firing at once. ♫

♫ Who has time to worry? Who loves the color of blood? ♫

♫ At that time, spirits are high. ♫

♫ Who calls the world his home? Who dares let his horse freely run? ♫

♫ Silently, tears form in the death of night. ♫

♫ Heroes are cutting all ties, ♫

♫ giving up whether it's life or death, ♫

♫ never asking what the cost is. ♫

♫ Good and evil must be distinguished. ♫

♫ The wind blows off the snow. ♫

♫ On the body, etch multiple scars, ♫

♫ wandering all over the world, ♫

♫ only wish to ask for answers from this world. ♫

♫ A teenager doesn't have to be a hero. ♫

♫ There is no need for flowers in the dream. ♫

♫ Destiny need not be afraid. ♫

♫ Because you have him all the way, ♫

♫ experienced a handful of conquests, ♫

♫ overcame a number of challenges. ♫

♫ From now on, happy and free! ♫

♫ The only wish is, with the world, ♫

♫ would come along the willing of change. ♫

[Legend of Awakening]

[Episode 2]

- You are not Madam Jin. - Mountain and Sea Gang's insolent chap, don't you dare run away!

Mountain and Sea Gang?

So you're here?

The Sun Streamer Swordplay?

This lady...

- Eldest Senior. - You are attacking a lady.

I'm afraid that's inappropriate.

How did someone from Mountain and Sea Gang find his way here?

Only the invincible Mountain and Sea Gang can tide you over.

Eldest Senior.

They can't defeat Mountain and Sea Gang.

Senior Brother, this is a serious situation.

- How can you not save Madam Jin? - Senior Brother.

You can't catch me.

Your skills are pretty good.

But you are not that smart.

Mountain and Sea Badge will only get you killed.

The man whose Mountain and Sea Badge was taken,

how long do you think he'll survive?

That's impossible!

Throughout the ages, martial arts practitioner can only master five pneumas at most.

There has never been anyone who has mastered six pneumas.

What monster are you?

This monster...

It was created by Mountain and Sea Gang.

Disturbances in the three realms are like a burning mansion.

Only the invincible Mountain and Sea Gang

can tide you over.

It's you!

You're the one that our master has been searching for three years.

The Awakener with the unity of six pneumas.

Do you know how badly our master wanted to find you?

Since I managed to escape,

I won't be caught by you again.

Stop right there!

This is...

The pneumatic power is disappearing soon.

I have to get the silver taels quickly.

Madam Jin.

Madam Jin.

Madam Jin, are you all right?

Old Guo.

You're finally here to save me.

I was so frightened.

Madam Jin, I'm Zhao Xifan.

Zhao...

Listen, Young Master Zhao!

Here in Chenqiao Town, as long as you're around to protect us,

I feel especially safe.

Unlike your Old Guo, he is such a coward.

- From now on— - Dispose of the bullies and assist the weak!

That is what I should do.

Speaking of which, I just recalled that just now, I— - Eldest Senior, Eldest Senior!

Senior Brother, the bandits were taken down by Su Tang.

- What about their valuables? - The valuables are still here.

- He will come again. - Eldest Senior, Eldest Senior.

- Smart move! - Brother, are you all right?

That man was from Mountain and Sea Gang.

Don't worry! Outsiders are easy to tackle.

It's our people that's troublesome.

However, Su Tang, next time, don't be too harsh on them.

It won't be good if he dies.

Eldest Senior, Eldest Senior, Eldest Senior.

- Eldest Senior. - Eldest Senior, wake up!

- Eldest Senior. - Wake up, Eldest Senior! Eldest Senior!

Where is the God of Bandits?

- He left! - He has gone!

What are you laughing at?

Eldest Senior, your face...

Take a look in the mirror!

Eldest Senior, did you just get back?

Master has cooked chicken as a treat, it will get cold if you don't eat up.

Brother.

Lu Ping.

You were on watch duty today.

What did you keep watch on?

I did keep watch but after a while, I got hungry.

You said you would be back in two hours, who knew that you were still away after the sun has set?

I also thought you attended the wedding.

Do you know that due to your negligence, something terrible almost happened?

- Exactly! - "Something terrible"?

What's so terrible? Doesn't every one of you look fine?

Lu Ping, if you had given us a heads-up, Eldest Senior wouldn't be injured by the God of Bandits.

Even without any pneumatic power, you should at least have common sense.

- Exactly. - That's right! - It's all your fault!

- You have no common sense at all. - Exactly! Seriously!

You were hurt? Are you all right?

That God of Bandits is too mean.

- He even drew on Eldest Senior's face— - That's enough!

Yes, it's my fault. It's my fault!

It looks like I made Eldest Senior embarrass himself.

Fine! I dare you to eat.

You show no remorse at all!

- This... - The drumsticks...

Eldest Senior.

Let's be reasonable.

When I told you I would cause trouble if I carried out the mission with you all,

you and Master insisted that I went.

If you didn't insist on competing against that God of Bandits,

could you have lost today? What's so bad about being like a turtle?

If we learn to hide like it does, we might even get to live longer.

You're hopeless!

Eldest Senior, Eldest Senior! Eldest Senior! Eldest Senior!

You haven't had dinner yet!

- Are we eating or not? - Let's eat!

- Let's eat. - Here, take a seat!

- Come, come, come! - Give me one! I'm starving.

Don't fight over it!

[Wind Takers' Valiance]

[Surpass Big Dippers]

That jerk! You humiliated me today.

I'll never let you off!

Ling Ziyan! Where are you?

Move it!

Come on, move!

You ran pretty fast just now.

Why won't you budge now?

What the heck is this place?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Come, come, come!

- Come here. - Give it to me!

Let me take a look! Who is this?

Isn't this... Isn't this the pretty little thing

who was marrying me instead of Madam Jin?

Madam Jin was afraid that she's not good enough for you,

so she sent me instead.

This is my family heirloom.

It's a gift for my husband.

Let's see how I deal with you today.

Come! Bring her down.

Wei Ming! Wei Ming!

Where on earth is he?

I can't walk anymore!

Help!

Help!

Hold on!

Let me take a look!

- I dare you to touch me. - Touch you?

I'll touch you if I want.

Let me go! Release me!

- Madam Jin said she wanted to put on an act with me. - Get lost! Let go of me!

It ended up getting my Chuanyun Fort destroyed by Wind Taker Institute. - Get lost!

- Put me down! - The few of us will vent it out on you.

Let me take a look!

Leader!

You'd better behave when I play nice.

Tie her legs together!

You... Who exactly are you?

Miss, are you all right?

I'm the first disciple of Chan State's martial arts academy, Wei Tianqi.

Who are you? In broad daylight, how dare you... [Young Master of Wei Household, Wei Tianqi]

- Who is it? - Beat him up!

Who is hitting me? Do you know who my father is?

Who cares who your father is?

I'm your grandfather!

Beat him up!

- Wei Ming! - Beat him up!

- Kick him! - Wei Ming!

- Leader, Leader, Leader! - Leader, Leader, Lead—

Ziyan.

Miss, are you all right?

Where have you been?

Where did all of you go?

Although I can take on ten men, I can't fend off scoundrels who sneaked up on me.

- Young Master, didn't you tell us not to follow you? - You...

Young Master Wei, are you all right?

Don't worry, miss! I am fine.

I wonder if you're hurt?

We'll take our leave.

Hold on!

Miss, we just met for the first time today

but we overcame a threat to our lives together.

This isn't just any ordinary fate.

Chan State is not far from here.

I wonder if you'll come with me to rest for a few days at my residence?

We have deer antlers, ginseng, and all sorts of medicine.

We'll take great care of you.

Chan State?

Wei Tianqi?

You're from Wei Zhong's family?

You know my father?

Since Young Master Wei has invited me with such hospitality, I'll accept it graciously.

I'll arrange for a carriage.

You two, get a carriage ready.

- Miss, you're hurt. - Prepare some food.

Why don't you report to the General back in Kaifeng?

Let's not trouble my brother with such trivialities! I can handle it.

Besides, as for that rascal from Mountain and Sea Gang who humiliated me,

I have to catch him and skin him myself, to vent my anger.

Brother.

Eldest Senior cares the most about his dignity.

He treats you kindly as well.

What you did to him... it's too pitiful for him.

What is it? Are you worried?

Are you upset?

I knew it! You're at the age to fall in love.

Although Zhao Xifan often picks on me, luckily he's good-looking.

He's not a bad person, either.

He might not be good enough for you but he can get by.

When I'm gone, you'll have someone to rely on.

No way! I'll follow you wherever you go.

My silly little sister, you're not my real sister.

How can I make you waste away your life?

You'll get married someday.

As for me, once I unlock these chains, I'll...

- Brother. - Osmanthus candy?

Don't change the topic!

We'll talk about the future later.

We've been busy all day.

Get some sleep soon.

What's so bad about being like a turtle?

If we learn to hide like it does, we might even get to live longer.

Didn't he leave earlier?

The God of Bandits drew a turtle on my face?

Could he be...

But that fellow can't even walk straight.

How can he possibly be...

[The valiance of Wind Takers]

I'm really down on luck today.

I'm nearly half dead.

Mountain and Sea Gang...

They still found their way here.

Little one, come with me!

I don't want to!

No... No! I don't want to!

You're injured.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

It's harder to keep you in the dark now.

Brother.

You should have the osmanthus candy.

When I came in,

you were trembling all over.

You shouldn't have fled with me.

I got you into this mess.

You didn't.

Everyone thinks I'm protecting you.

But I know that...

you've always protected me.

Save my little sister.

I've enjoyed the past three years.

A girl in her teens,

doesn't even tremble upon hearing about killing someone.

How is that any good?

You shouldn't be leading such a life.

All the more, you shouldn't let a monster like me drag you down.

You're not a monster.

You're my God-brother. (TN: They aren't biological siblings.)

Master Guo sounds harsh but he's kind at heart.

Zhao Xifan isn't a bad person, either.

It's pretty good for you here.

- You don't have to spend your life on the run with me. - No way!

When you carried me on your back out of Mountain and Sea Gang that year,

I'll cling to you for life. Don't dream of leaving me behind!

Silly girl.

It hurts so much...

You're so ungrateful.

Are you trying to break my old bones?

You've deceived your mentor and betrayed your ancestors.

Master, as our mentor, you are eavesdropping on us.

Still talking back. Answer me!

Did you offend anyone from Mountain and Sea Gang?

Master, you drink every day, you must have had too much to drink.

You got it wrong.

I'm very sober.

Are you still trying to fool me?

If I knew you were a troublemaker,

I wouldn't have brought you back so easily back then.

Listen up! You're not welcome here anymore.

Move out quickly.

Move all of these out! Get going.

Get lost!

Hurry, hurry, hurry out! You have the cheek to tell me that?

If you didn't ask me for so much money,

I could have bought Wind Taker Institute with what I paid you.

You're still haggling with me?

You're getting even with me?

Fine, answer me!

Everything you ate and used in the past three years, and your expenses. Are those included?

Also, there are the renovation fees for Wind Taker Institute.

The repair fees of the walls at the entrance... I didn't even pin that on you.

How dare you haggle with me? Are you joking?

Seriously!

Who threw that at me?

It's real gold.

It weighs at least two taels.

When did you get this?

During the fight at Chuanyun Fort, I took it on the way out.

Su Tang.

Come here!

If only your God-brother were a bit more diligent,

he could have paid off his debts sooner.

Then you wouldn't have to work so hard.

If I take too much with me, won't Eldest Senior hate me even more?

You're overthinking.

Listen! Pay off your debts sooner and get out of here sooner.

Stop getting me into trouble.

Brother, why is Master always like this?

He's always seizing the chance to drive you out but he never really did.

Even if he doesn't drive me away, won't I have to leave as well?

When that man in black barged into Mountain and Sea Gang and rescued us...

He even opened up a crack

in my Pneuma Confinement with his powers.

Leave quickly!

- You're the God of... The God of... - Exactly!

Leave now! Go!

Since we fled from Mountain and Sea Gang,

during the past three years,

I've pretended to be a bandit.

While I tackled those thieves for Wind Taker Institute,

I also wanted to lure him out by using his namesake.

During my investigation, I found out about someone

who was complimented as Inseparable Manifestation and Obscurity.

He knows everything about martial arts.

Three years ago, he had been to the north.

He lost all his powers after a battle with Mountain and Sea Gang

and he's still wanted by them.

This man is Wen Gecheng.

Wen Gecheng is very likely to be the bandit.

Are you sure he can unlock your Pneuma Confinement?

Back then, he only opened up a crack

and I already managed to experience a bit of the power of six pneumas.

Even if the chances of unlocking it are slim,

I have to give it a try.

Once these chains are broken off,

I will be free.

Brother, we've missed the opportunity,

where will we go looking for Wen Gecheng?

On Wen Gecheng's carriage,

there's the same symbol in the front and at the back,

that's not the emblem of Agile Dragon Troop.

I think I've seen it somewhere.

I remember it now.

It was on the fake Ruyu's sword.

That fake Ruyu spoke and acted

like someone from an aristocratic background.

Perhaps, through her, we might find Wen Gecheng.

Where is she now?

She nearly took my pants off.

I left her hanging from a tree in a fit of anger.

There were many a slip between the cup and the lip.

It's all my fault! I panicked.

I acted carelessly.

Brother, who exactly is that fake Ruyu?

Since she is of an aristocracy,

- why is she in pursuit of Mountain ans Sea Gang on her own? - Who knows?

Even the Queen Mother of the West has to tend to her injuries.

- She couldn't have gone far. - She would have walked faster than you did.

Brother, if you wish to use your pneumatic power again, you'll have to wait for another half a month.

Who said I'll need to use the pneumatic power to search for her?

I think that the badger game will work.

Su Tang, when you can, ask Eldest Senior out tomorrow

to the woods at the back of the hill.

Brother, is this even the time to play matchmaker?

It's hard to search for someone but not a renown sword.

That young lady's sword is no ordinary sword.

I can't figure it out

but Eldest Senior is very knowledgeable, he might recognize it.

Whether we can get him to tell us, it's entirely up to you.

- No way. - Hey, Sister.

If it works, I'll buy all the osmanthus candies in the entire Chenqiao Town for you.

If so, I...

I'll think about it.

Eldest Senior.

Sparring?

[Wei Residence]

This way, please.

[Prosper Forever] My son.

I've missed you.

Where are you hurt? Show me!

Father, that's enough! Everyone is watching, so don't make a fuss.

Did someone bully you? Don't worry!

I'll send Wei Ming and the others to wipe them out.

Father, I'm the first disciple of Chan State's martial arts academy! You don't have to avenge me.

Besides, Miss Qin is still watching us.

Master Wei, it has been a while.

Eldest Senior, your gestures seem like this is your first time training with a blade.

Why haven't I seen you use one?

Blades don't suit me well.

Why do you suddenly want to practice swordplay?

I saw the fake Ruyu's swordplay, so I practiced it from memory.

That woman was an impostor and she was highly skilled.

Her whereabouts are unknown.

Senior Brother, aren't you curious about her identity?

Qin family's Sun Streamer Swordplay.

Although that young lady isn't at the highest level,

judging by her skills, she would have to be Miss Qin to get to that standard.

I can't be wrong about it.

Miss Qin?

We're in trouble.

Chan State is remotely located.

There aren't many martial arts practitioners.

Please forgive us, Miss Qin.

Ling Ziyan, what's the punishment for withholding military information?

The general has given orders that anyone who withholds military information

is to be beheaded in public.

Miss Qin, please spare me!

I still have a young son to raise.

I'm willing to make it up to you at whatever the price.

Master Wei, you should thank Mountain and Sea Gang.

If it weren't that they have planted a mole in Chan State, I wouldn't ask for your assistance.

By now, you should have been executed.

Mountain and Sea Gang?

This man was in a mask.

He is extremely skilled in martial arts.

I suspect that the purpose of the man from Mountain and Sea Gang

who infiltrated Phoenix Ridge Gang, is to meet up with him here.

Before I find him, I won't leave Chan State.

[Three years ago]

Brother, stop trying!

Su Tang, I managed to sneak out some pneumatic power again.

Not really! It's still not enough.

Since a crack was made in my Pneuma Confinement,

the more I suffocate and suffer,

the more pneumatic power I can squeeze out.

As long as I practice every day, I'll get enough power.

You'll die from the pain first.

Fleeing for my life every day like an invalid?

How is that any different from dying?

No way! If I don't break off my Pneuma Confinement,

I can never defeat Mountain and Sea Gang.

The pneumatic power that he manage to squeeze out each time last only a duration of a burned joss stick.

- Brother. - Lu Ping.

Lu Ping.

Brother, Brother!

Brother, wake up!

Brother, you have woken up! Sit up.

Sit up!

Lu Ping!

Brother, are you all right?

What were you doing?

Eldest Senior, why were you so close to me?

You kept diving in while you were chained, do you want to die?

- I came to take a bath, what rule did I violate this time? - Take a bath?

You're taking a bath in chain? Is it fun to joke around with your life?

Eldest Senior, since you care so much about me, fine!

You saved my life after all, so you get to slap me.

Lu Ping, are you done fooling around?

No one should take life for granted.

As long as I'm in Wind Taker Institute, I won't allow that to happen.

Brother.

Brother, are you all right?

What's the matter with him?

Xifan.

- What's wrong with you? - Master.

What have you done again,

that nearly killed all the fishes in my pond at the back of the hill?

Lu Ping, he...

When you saved him back then,

did you know of his identity?

What identity can he have?

He is just a starving beggar who was dying of hunger, so I brought him back.

I felt bad for him.

Who knew? Wind Taker Institute's whole fortune is nearly used up.

He's always such a scum.

Don't hold it against him!

I didn't blame him! I blame myself.

[Wind Taker Institute]

Master.

Master!

You're too nervous.

Have a drink! Relax.

Master, it's against the rules to drink in the day and you should also drink less.

The money you spend on alcohol is enough to repair our walls three times.

Xifan, although we don't look into people's true identities here,

I can very well guess that you've concealed your true identity.

You even practiced the Pneuma of Sound midway when it even wasn't your original skill.

You've been in Wind Taker Institute for so long and you still can't relax?

Don't bear the weight of everyone's life on your shoulders.

Master.

Back then, if I didn't take a risk recklessly,

I wouldn't have gotten my friend killed.

Since I owe him his life, I should repay the debt.

Then you should be a good disciple.

Xifan, bear this in mind!

Wearing the badge of the eldest disciple means

that the entire Wind Taker Institute, including me, your master,

look to you for our future.

Hold it!

Let's have a serious talk!

It's not very safe out there recently and there are searches going on.

I suspect that some murderous thief might have come here.

Therefore, I need to head to Kaifeng.

While I am away, Wind Taker Institute has to be closed to the public

and all disciples are banned from leaving the premises.

You... Keep a close eye on those rascals, especially Lu Ping.

Don't let him get into any trouble!

Master, you're going to visit your old friend again?

You rascal! How can you joke about this?

Master, forgive me for being honest with you.

Your old friend's temper is really...

Special.

You always get bruised all over whenever you're there.

Why do you still visit every year?

Kid, you won't understand.

I'm also atoning for my sins.

[Wei Residence]

Miss, we've been searching for four to five days.

The entire Chan State and dozens of towns around it were all searched thoroughly.

There is no one who meets your description.

Forget it! Tell the guards of Wei family to get back.

If we keep searching so indiscreetly, I'm afraid I'll alert the enemy.

What should we do? Should we keep searching?

Keep going! Why not?

But we're not going to look for a needle in the haystack.

What's your opinion, Young Master Wei?

Sangsang, don't be so distant! You can call me Tianqi.

Tianqi, what's your opinion?

Mr. Changli once said, "Every skill and profession has its specialties."

Since we're tracking someone down, we'll need specific experts in that field.

How should we find such a specific expert?

I've already put up posters in the city.

There are wanted posters of my "Wanted Intellectuals" in the entire Chan State.

From the east to the west,

there's no fear that the gifted won't notice it.

Sangsang, just stay in comfortably and await the arrival of the experts.

Young Master Wei is really.. creative.

Sangsang, Just you wait and see! I'll definitely seek out that person.

Miss, Young Master Wei said he has posted wanted posters

from the east to the west of the city.

Perhaps, offering a reward might really work?

Wei Tianqi is fooling around, are you going to follow suit?

I'm sorry.

Who is it?

Please spare me, heroine! I am Mo Lin.

I came here because of the poster.
