[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 13]

Tomorrow's final round will be held in the ring.

The Wind Takers' Xifan is still in bad health,

Su Tang and Mo Lin are no match for you.

The only remaining competitor you'll have is Lu Ping.

I've waited for tomorrow for so long.

Finally, I have the chance to teach this brat a lesson.

Miss, if the Wind Takers lose,

they probably will be assigned to a normal position and be stationed outside of Kaifeng, right?

Ling Ziyan, what are you trying to say?

Miss, you come from a wealthy family and you have the general's protection.

However, Young Master Lu comes from a poor background.

Without the award from His Majesty, I'm afraid bad things will happen to him.

So, areyou asking me to lose to Lu Ping on purpose?

Miss, people from the Mountain and Sea Gang do weird practices. You also know that!

Ling Ziyan, are you still a member of my Qin family?

I think it looks like you are helping others.

- Miss, I… - Let me tell you!

This Pneuma Combat Convention relates to the bet between my brother and I.

If I fake my action in public,

my royal family will lose face.

How do you want my brother to survive?

Beyond all that,

he and I already made a public agreement about a fair competition.

If I fake my actions, it would belittle Lu Ping

and the public will look down upon him.

Miss, you've considered it thoroughly, I know my mistake now.

Tomorrow, I'll try my best to compete with him fair and square.

[Pneuma Combat Convention Ranking]

Lu Ping, why are we always three people; always missing one?

Only me, the ever-victorious general, is always here.

It's either you or Zhao Xifan that's absent from time to time.

That' right! When you take someone as your disciple,

you are defeated repeatedly and you still keep on trying.

My disciple, we are meant to fight side by side.

From now on, I'll give you my back.

Who cases about your back?

Brother, you can't lose to her.

Don't worry!

I'll try my best to show my utmost respect to her.

Today is the Pneuma Combat's final round.

The finalists of the two teams will compete on the stage.

Your sequence of weeding out determines your ranking.

The last person on the stage wins the Pneuma Combat Convention.

Zhao Xifan from Wind Takers' Team withdraws because of his injury last time.

He takes the eighth place.

To all other candidates,

the competition begins now.

My disciple, this round is going to end immediately.

What do you mean?

Let's go!

What are you doing?

I did not expect that losing can be so easy and relaxed.

Su Tang, Mo Lin, Yang Qi, Wang Ying, out!

[Mo Lin]

[Wang Ying]

Lu Ping, even when I'm out, I'll help you create a romantic ending.

You little maid, what are you looking at? Step back and clear the stage.

This is the Pneuma Combat Convention, can't you be more serious.

We are insignificant.

You, little maid, hurry up and step back.

What?

You are afraid of losing to me if you are alone?

I won't lose to you.

Ziyan, you step back first.

Otherwise, they will say that we won because of our outweighed number.

Last round, Lu Ping versus Qin Sang,

begin!

[Qin Sang]

The little maid is so nervous.

Don't tell me she has a crush on Lu ping?

Lu Ping's Pneuma of Sound is being suppressed by Qin Sang's Pneuma of Vision.

It looks like this fight is going to be tough.

She doesn't look like a woman at all.

It was not easy for her to have today's achievement.

Let nature take its course!

Not good!

Stop!

What?

- She can escape that? - Yes.

Ling Ziyan actually escaped the swords of Qin Sang.

Miss Ling,

are you clear about what you just did?

You just escaped the secret skill of the Qin family.

That was the Sun Streamer Swordplay which no one has broken.

It is the secret skill of the Qin family.

She actually can escape the Sun Streamer Swordplay.

This is incredible.

It is Terrific!

When did you secretly learn it?

Miss, I didn't mean to learn it.

I just often see your actions,

so I just naturally got familiar with the Sun Streamer Swordplay.

But I didn't mean to break the Sun Streamer Swordplay. Really!

Not good! Miss Ling put herself in danger.

Soldiers, take Ling Ziyan away!

Yes.

Wen Rui, it's my family's affair, why are you putting your hands to it?

Miss, Ling Ziyan can't be left alive.

You are clear that the previous victories without battle

are mostly because of General's sword techniques.

Now that there's someone who can break the Sun Streamer Swordplay,

do you think they will just let her go?

Miss, General Qin is the heart and soul of our battlefield.

If Ling Ziyan is captured by our enemy someday,

General will get into trouble, the consequence cannot be imagined.

It is not only your family affair, but also a national affair related to General Qin

and to the Agile Dragon Army's kingdom.

So I plead with you to put the interest of the whole situation to the top priority.

Miss, I know my mistake.

Miss, if you can't bear it, I can do it for you.

Miss, I'll make it easy for you.

I'll take my own life.

Stop!

Lu Ping, it's none of your business.

Step back!

She escaped the Sun Streamer Swordplay to rescue me.

I must be responsible for her.

I must protect Ling Ziyan.

Lu Ping, you don't understand.

No matter how much I long for the pugilist world,

I have no other choice when I have my family's honor and disgrace on my shoulders.

The Qin family is a royal family, isn't it?

Do royal families have the right to take the life of others casually?

Step back! It's none of your business.

What if I insist to be involved?

- That's… - That's… That's…

That's the token of the Qin family.

How can Wind Taker Institute have the token of the Qin family?

Exactly!

Do you remember this token?

It's from the Emperor.

Just now, I showed you all that I am its bearer.

A token for a life.

It's not too much to ask for, isn't it?

Even with a gold token in hand, you still have no right to order them.

But considering that you once saved my life, I'll take one step back.

I, Qin Sang, make an oath on the gold token of my family

to keep an agreement with Lu Ping.

We will recover our qualifications and continue the unfinished third round.

The result will determine Ling Ziyan's life.

If you win, you can take her.

If I win,

I'll take her life by myself.

As you wish!

Miss.

My brother is tracing the case of Xinghua House,

so I make decisions for my family.

General Wen, don't you trust me?

I will comply.

Lu Ping, I'm trying my best to be benevolent.

Now, it's up to fate whether she'll live or die.

Okay.

Let's fight another round, then.

Xifan, Su Tang, keep an eye on Miss Ling.

Make sure she's safe before the result is announced.

Don't move!

Watch it more closely!

Strange!

Miss has so many loopholes.

She seems to try to find a chance.

Little fool!

Do you really think you can cheat me?

You don't want to kill Ling Ziyan in the first place.

You are the one being softhearted.

So let me be the bad guy.

Cooperate well and finish the acting!

Little fool, forgive me!

If there's a chance in the future, I'll fight you again.

I, Qin Sang, admit to be the defeat of the bet.

Ling Ziyan, you may go!

I'll kill you if I meet you in the future.

Lu Ping, you won! You are the champion of the Pneuma Combat Convention.

Good job, Lu Ping! Lu Ping!

Lu Ping, good job!

You are the champion!

♫ This passing time, it has feinted my life. ♫

♫ We've exchanged our promises. ♫

♫ This foolish love, this vivid life, ♫

♫ with the twilight, I disperse some dreams. ♫

♫ Every teardrop is a star! ♫

♫ Every teardrop is a star! ♫

The Qin family has a great influence in Kaifeng but here, we have Master Chu Min.

No one would dare to touch you.

- Master Chu Min! - Master Chu Min!

Thank you, Young Master Lu.

- I'll try my best to serve Master Chu Min. - Don't!

You take care of your own trouble.

Miss Ling,

from now on, you are no longer a maid servant of anyone.

You can do whatever you want.

What if the thing I want to do is...

just to follow you around.

With so many things at hand,

no one answers that fast.

Take your time to think about it!

Young Master Lu,

will Miss be punished for letting me go?

Don't worry!

As for her trouble, leave that to me.

[No anger in one's heart.] [No bias in one's heart, learn to nurture.] [No selfishness in one's heart, love and respect.]

Brother, I lost my bet so I'm copy our family disciplines and rules.

Why does it look like you don't believe me?

You took your punishment already, I have nothing else to say.

Sang'er, how about this,

I will go and find another servant to protect your sword? What do you think?

No need!

I think I'm better on my own.

General!

General, we can't find Ling Ziyan in the city.

Maybe she got hidden by Lu Ping.

Then, continue to find her!

As for Lu Ping, I must...

Leave it! The competition is over and he's a winner.

As long as he can render a service to Shuo Kingdom, he is a diamond in the rough.

Let him be!

Yes.

Learn to use the front gate in the future.

You are the champion now.

I already put Miss Ling in a proper place.

For things like this, no front gate can be used.

I don't need to know where she is.

Tell her to take good care of herself.

I heard you got punished by your brother.

I deceived him, I should be punished.

You reached your goal.

No need to come and laugh at me.

Now that we deceived your brother together,

then I should take half of your punishment.

My brother is not blind! Your calligraphy looks nothing similar to mine.

You should write like this.

[No anger in one's heart.] ♫ A streamer is chasing after the moonlight. ♫

♫ Those eyes that move me, ♫

♫ float above the clouds, walk into my heart, ♫

♫ and stay there for a while. ♫

♫ The sky, the land, the flowers, the birds, and the pavilion, ♫

♫ they are always waiting on their own. ♫

♫ Passing through the world, we meet by chance, dreading the parting time. ♫

[No anger in one's heart.]

You pervert!

This time in Kaifeng, you truly helped a lot.

But you come from a noble family, I guess you need nothing like my appreciation.

I remember my hometown had a field of flowers when I was a child.

It's different from what we have in Kaifeng.

After I unlock the Pneuma Confinement,

I plan to go back home, growing flowers and plants.

I'll invite you to come with me.

What do you think?

What's attractive in a village?

Never mind, then!

Miss, may I refill the water for you?

No need! Nothing is needed here.

Yes.

He left just like that?

I didn't say I won't go.

[Gongchui Temple]

You won the competition, so you belong to the royal court.

Salute to Your Majesty.

May you be in good health, Your Majesty!

It's common for these young man from the pugilist world to know nothing about court etiquette.

You four are all excellent young people, each one of the kind.

Come!

Tell me! What title or reward do you want?

Please, Your Majesty,

with little ability and morality, I think nothing about title or reward.

I'll go wherever my brother goes.

I'll go wherever Su Tang goes.

You are Lu Ping?

I've heard about you many times.

Where do you come from? Who are your parents?

Your Majesty, my parents died in a war.

Now I'm all alone.

I stay in the pugilist world.

Neither humble, nor pushy! Very courageous!

No wonder you are the champion of the convention.

Now I entitle you—

Your Majesty, title is of no importance.

We worked so hard to win the competition, may I ask for some money as the reward first?

Eldest Senior, did he get possessed by Guo Youdao?

I didn't expect that after cultivating you guys for many years; finally,

they got put into use.

I've seen a lot money during my life.

But-but-but for this large amount, this is my first time.

My eyes are dazzled.

Master, are these enough to build even ten Towers of Martial Art?

Don't mention the Tower of Martial Art in the future!

What are you talking about?

Don't forget! Even what you are wearing right now is also at my expense.

Remember to return them to me later!

I should mark every silver and count.

Lu Ping,

were you serious in the court today?

Do you really have to leave?

I should follow uncle Wen to go back to my master.

Eldest Senior, merry meet, merry part.

It's about time!

Besides, I need to try to break the chain lock,

right?

Once I break the chain lock, I'll regain my freedom.

Eldest Senior, you can go back to the Wind Takers, without any worry.

Master already has the money for his retirement

and we all hold our original aspiration.

Isn't this the best result?

Brother,

Master Wen came looking for you.

Master, what's the matter?

No-Nothing! Yes-Yesterday, I drank too much.

I-I have a headache! I-I-I'll go and rest for a bit.

Strange! When did Master feel uncomfortable in front of money, even need to rest?

Did he take the wrong medicine? Or did he encounter a ghost?

Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen,

I was so rash that day and got you into trouble.

It doesn't matter.

I've heard about your encounter with the emperor.

You needn't worry about the title.

I will talk to General Qin to see if he can help decline.

Since everything is done here, Su Tang and I can go with you immediately.

There's one thing that should be handled properly

before you and I can truly be at ease.

That day, you and I met at Xinghua House.

I didn't tell anybody else.

So why would the Mountain and Sea Gang know?

Have you ever thought that someone around you might let out the secret?

You only told me, Eldest Senior, and our companions,

about your meeting with Uncle Wen at Xinghua House.

If the Mountain and Sea Gang came to attack,

then who leaked out the information.

There's only one person

who knows your time and place of the meeting with Uncle Wen,

and who is not with us.

Ping'er, a man's heart is incomprehensible.

People all say that I'm the most careful

but I still fail to see through people's heart.

You're born to be smart, so you should know this before I do.

Uncle Wen,

we are going to leave anyways,

- can't we just leave that behind? - No.

Ping'er, don't be such a fool in front of sentiment.

If there's someone who belong to the Mountain and Sea Gang around you,

then no matter where you and Su Tang hide,

you can never be free of their trace.

We are leaving tomorrow.

Solve everything in a quick manner.

Master,

what are you hiding?

Impossible! Master can't belong to the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Lu Ping, after spending so many years with Master,

don't you know him well enough? How can you suspect him?

Uncle Wen is right,

people's heart is incomprehensible.

It took you so many years to know me, how dare you to say you truly know Master?

Just now, you also saw that Master was so abnormal.

I don't need to know about him.

You would have died a hundred times if he belongs to the Mountain and Sea Gang for the past three years.

I don't allow anybody to suspect him.

Eldest Senior, Brother is just considering this as it stands.

Master is indeed injured and the injured time happens to be coincidental.

What's more, just now, Master truly looks like he is afraid of being found out.

Stop talking like this! No matter how much you say, it's only your own imagination.

Lu Ping, can you trust me one more time?

Don't touch Master yet, and don't tell anybody else.

I'll definitely find evidence to proove that Master is innocent.

Sure!

Let's find evidence respectively and see who is right.

Okay.

Brother, what should we do now?

Su Tang,

I would want to believe, more than anyone else in the world, that Master is a good person.

Go and find Mo Lin!

Su Tang, you finally see my charms and treat me this meal.

I ask you to come here because of the well-known Apricot Blossom Wine,

which belongs to Xinghua House's secret wine.

Master told me that he never had the chance to come and taste.

So I want to bring some back to him after we finish eating.

This Old Guo must lying to you again, he must have tasted this wine before.

Sniff more carefully!

If I make mistakes, how can I teach you in the future?

There's definitely this smell on him.

He must have had come here before.

Su Tang, you also invited Lu Ping?

With the smell of incense here, I can smell him.

Moreover,

it's coming closer.

Brother, why does Master keep secrets from us?

Is he truly the one?

The one who attacked the Xinghua House and injured himself.

Su Tang,

I don't want to believe this, either.

Can we give Master one last chance?

Minmin,

in the middle of the night,

what are you doing in my room?

You never drink this much, why are you so drunk today?

Tell me! Is there any secret you're hiding from me?

Look at me!

Bad news!

Ling Ziyan relapses her injury, Xifan ask me to find Master Chu Min but I can't find her.

Master Chu Min is here.

Minmin, please, if you have to save someone, save them till the end. Go back, please!

Luckily, the nail holds the errhysis

and there's little smell of the blood.

Everything will be over after tonight.

Master, with such beautiful moonlight, let's raise a glass or two.

Tianqi, wake up!

Master Wei.

Miss Qin, may I help you in such a late night?

In Chan State before, Young Lord Wei helped me a lot.

Now I heard he got badly injured, so I came to visit him.

I know that Young Lord Wei was very kind to me before,

so maybe my company will help him to wake up.

Master Wei, can I be here with him alone?

Please give us some time.

Okay, okay.

Thanks a lot for receiving my message and coming here to help.

It is Lu Ping that I'm helping; otherwise, who cares about the Wind Taker Institute.

Does your Master really belongs to the Mountain and Sea Gang?

At the moment, maybe only he knows the truth.

But he...

Wei Tianqi.

What's this?

This shape?

Ziyan.

Mountain and Sea Gang?

Isn't Master going to see me off?

Better to keep the wine in your heart than in your mouth.

I quit drinking recently.

But this is the Apricot Blossom Wine of Xinghua House.

It's really a shame if you don't taste some.

You went to Xinghua House?

It resumes business today.

To solicit business, the owner invited a storyteller.

That storyteller told a very ridiculous story.

Master, do you want to listen?

The story started out on such a night like this.

With a bright moon,

a hunter's home got caught on fire.

A fox who was to be killed and skinned

seized the opportunity to escape.

It was bleeding.

It ran and ran,

and got saved by a farmer.

The fox had trusted no human kind before.

But this farmer offered it a place to heal its wound.

The fox was so thankful.

But just at the time when the fox recovered,

and was about to bid farewell to the farmer,

it discovered that the farmer was sharpening his knife.

It turned out that he was the same as the hunter.

They were waiting for the fox to heal its wound.

Because a wounded fur is worthless.

It is the fox's first time to trust human being

and it chose the wrong person.

Will you say this fox is dumb?

Lu Ping.

I just don't understand.

The farmer disguised himself for so long, just for the fur of the fox.

Master, what are you in disguise for then?
