[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. ♫

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

♫ 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 15]

If there is a day

that I can break free from the Pneuma Confinement,

yet the Power of Awakening is used by them,

will I have the same end as hers?

It won't be like that! The motto of Wind Taker Institute is that no one shall be left behind.

As long as I'm here, I definitely won't let that kind of thing happen.

Trust me!

As long as the Wind Taker Institute is here and our companions are here,

no matter what the Mountain and Sea Gang does,

by all odds, I'll never back down or be afraid.

We have only a little left.

Ice Chrysanthemum Wine is so tasteful, Master will like it very much.

Let's leave this to him.

Speaking of which, I still owe Master a "thanks".

By the way, where is Master?

He left?

He is always injured here and there,

and he said the clinic in Kaifeng costs too much,

so he wants to rest at Wind Taker Institute.

Did he mention anything?

He... said he would take every piece of the award from the emperor

back to the Wind Taker Institute.

Master is, indeed, Master.

From what I see, it's impossible that he will ever change.

You can't be quiet even when you're eating.

I'm sleepy, I'll go back to bed.

Master Chu Min, you've known Master for many years, so you must know him the best.

He is a man of great wisdom. Master Chu Min!

If he's not from the Mountain and Sea Gang, then who is he?

What is he hiding from me?

Please don't look at me like that!

Like I said, I know nothing about it.

Ask Guo Youdao if you want to know.

Master Chu Min.

Fine! We are going to go back to Chenqiao Town anyway.

He has nowhere to hide.

Brother, how is Lu Ping?

If he's in trouble, are you planning to go there and rescue him by yourself?

I'm only worrying about you, who cares about him?

Lu Ping is fine, so he should be in the inn right now.

We found the body of Wen Gecheng in the forest.

That's great! It's fine as long as he's safe.

Brother, are you okay?

You really care about him, right?

No, I don't! I just think he's someone who can become my friend.

He is someone who, sometimes, really acts like a rascal

but sometimes he surprises me.

His haters hate him to death while those who like him,

they can't help but to miss him and to care about him.

I mean Zhao Xifan, Su Tang and Mo Lin.

They all really care about him.

Okay.

Sang'er,

have you ever told others that Wen Gecheng is the spy from the Mountain and Sea Gang?

Except for those from the Wind Taker Institute, until now, no one else knows.

Brother, I know you regard Wen Gecheng as your soulmate.

Yet this time you open the door to a dangerous person.

His Majesty shows good sense.

With clear explanations, he will definitely understand.

What's more, Lu Ping is the champion of the competition.

He must be more suitable to be enrolled in Agile Dragon Army than Wen Gecheng.

I'll accompany you to persuade him, okay?

All right! Then, do you plan to dress up?

Sure!

You should sleep well for a little while.

After you wake up, you will find

that many things are just like a long dream.

[Addressed solely to Master Wen]

These are secret letters found in the Zhiwei Study.

They are all about the activities of the Mountain and Sea Gang in Shuo State.

I've investigated the people on the list.

I'm afraid they all are spies from the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Burn all of these things before us.

As for the people on the list, continue to investigate.

Remember, keep it down!

His Majesty has pushed for a New Deal and supported me to hold the Pneuma Combat Convention

for selecting able men from humble families.

There are many officials from distinguished family, like Xia Bojian, opposing this.

If Wen Gecheng gives them the cause to destroy the New Deal,

isn't this a letdown to His Majesty?

So now we should consider the bigger picture, do you understand?

Sir Wen was attacked and killed by enemies.

I feel deeply sorrowful.

I shall take revenge for Sir Wen by myself.

I hope that this is the end of the story.

I understand.

Qin's Family produces only officials loyal to his sovereign.

This reputation can't be stained.

After I kill all the crafty sycophants,

I will come to His Majesty and ask for punishment.

[Addressed solely to Master Wen]

(TN: Names of Officials, each with a paragraph of accomplishments, biography, and personality)

[Zhiwei Study]

[Great Fortune Inn]

Young Master Lu, please halt!

Order from General Qin! No one can go out because the Mountain and Sea Gang is rising in revolt.

There'll be someone to take charge of your meals.

Brother, why are you back?

Have you found that the inn is all empty?

Moreover, the Agile Dragon Army is monitoring all of us, so I think something is off.

Did we make some mistakes?

Obviously, everything that is supposed to be done has been done.

Don't say, Qin Qi is also from the Mountain and Sea Gang?

Oh no! Do you remember how Wen Gecheng enrolled in the court?

Because of Qin Qi?

Exactly! It's because of Qin Qi's recommendation.

These years, Wen Gecheng has always worked for the Qin's Family.

So it's easy to understand that he cultivates his own people and develops personal relationship in the court.

All of these could not be done without Qin Qi's help.

So if the fact that Wen Gecheng was the spy is exposed,

Qin Qi will be guilty even if he knows nothing.

Like I said, no good things happen when I'm with you.

Brother, we'd rather be killed on the way out than wait to die in here.

- Who's there? - Young Master Lu, it's me.

Miss Ling.

I disguised as a maid-servant to come here.

No time to explain! I'm afraid General Qin will take actions.

Before the troop comes here, everyone, please follow me.

Follow me!

[Never meet again.]

What a cunning rat!

Search the whole city!

Orders from the General, no one from the Wind Taker Institute shall be left alive.

I think no soldiers are here.

Miss Ling, shouldn't you be in Scripture Library?

Why are you here?

Master Chu Min asks me to take you out for she senses danger.

It's because of your courage and observation that we can be rescued.

How do I feel that she only wants to save Lu Ping

and we benefit from him, by the way?

Young Master Lu,

you should go out right now because the gatekeepers are slackening.

It seems that we four will have to run for our lives again.

I think we four are destined to be together forever.

How about we pick up a nickname?

Then we have a group title for our future.

How about the Forever Unkillable Four Heroes of Wind Taker?

What do you think?

It sounds so bad.

How does it sound bad? I think it's very powerful.

Miss Ling, what about you? What do you plan on doing in the future?

Right! You helped us this time.

Qin Qi won't forgive you.

I'll find a way to live.

With such a humble life, I don't deserve your worry.

Miss Ling,

you can come with us to Wind Takers if you're willing to.

You can live a new life!

Can… Can I?

Wind Taker Institute is a simple place but we live as we please.

Didn't Miss Ling teach me that the hardest part is to let go?

We should still hurry up to leave.

Let's go!

- Miss Ling. - Miss Ling.

- Miss Ling. - Miss Ling.

Miss Ling!

Young Master Lu,

I don't have the time to live again.

Miss Ling!

Why did you kill her?

She's just an ordinary lady.

She's neither your soldier nor your enemy.

It's my family's affair.

Some people are meant to die by my hands

so they don't have a chance to flee.

Qin Qi, you confuse right and wrong.

Do you know what the rules are and what fairness is?

You killed an important official in the broad daylight.

That's what the rules are and what fairness is.

You...

Lu Ping, I figured you have something to do with the Mountain and Sea Gang.

How about this? I'll give you another chance.

You quietly come back with me and help me to investigate.

You can be forgiven this time because you are a friend of Sang'er.

Bah! Such a sour smell!

I can even smell it three li away. (TN: 1 li = 1/3 mile = 1/2 km)

There should be someone to bear the crime of the Pneuma Combat Convention.

Lu Ping, you can't trust him.

I'll go with you

but you must let them go.

I'm not here to negotiate.

Su Tang,

I hid for so many years.

Today, I want to fight for Wind Taker.

Brother, I have your back.

Might as well! Fighting to death is delightful.

General Qin, listen carefully.

We, Wind Taker disciples, have nothing

but a strong backbone.

Fine!

- Agile Dragon Army. - Yes!

Lu Ping killed a royal official, so he's meant to die.

Others are his accomplices.

- Carry out the execution on the spot. - Yes.

Fire the arrows!

Senior, Miss Ling, she...

You are way too kind.

Why care about a dead body when you are in danger?

Will you carry the when you are on the run?

Why do you always appear at the critical moment?

Why do you always rescue me at the risk of your life?

Dao. (TN: A thief)

Who are you?

Don't you think he's very familiar?

Like a shadow,

he's watching us all the time.

Now he's trying to distract Qin Qi for us.

With such profound martial arts, he knows how to escape.

We can't stay here for too long, we'd better go.

Don't let him down!

We shall finally meet if our destinies are meant for us to be together.

I'll check the horses.

Brother, where are we going?

Qin Qi will surely try to find us.

The four of us together are easy to spot.

We shall not be together.

You should go north with Mo Lin and find a safe place to hide.

How about you? Are you going to leave alone without me?

Lu Ping, what are you doing?

She's your sister and now you abandon her.

- Mo Lin, don't mess things up! - I won't leave.

Eldest Senior once said, no one in Wind Taker Institute shall be left behind.

Su Tang,

after eating this candy,

it'll be time to grow up and be obedient.

Brother, I won't eat candies any more.

You can take me with you, I can certainly fight with you.

You've promised that you'll always take me with you because you saved my life.

In the Mountain and Sea Gang,

I would have had no courage to live

if it wasn't for you.

It isn't I who saved you,

it's you who rescued me.

- Brother. - Listen to me!

Mo Lin,

I entrust my sister to you.

Please take good care of her.

Don't let anything bad happen to her.

Don't worry!

I swear on the name of Number One Assassin,

that I'll take good care of her.

All right! It's a deal, then.

Go!

Brother.

Where are you going?

I want to go back to the Wind Taker Institute to see how things are.

If everything's all right, I'll go find Su Tang.

It's such a big world.

We should be able to find a place to settle.

It's exactly what I'm thinking.

How about we go together?

With you by my side, I'll feel so at ease.

Of course, you are.

- Like I said, the Wind Taker Institute— - won't leave any single one behind.

Master, I'm afraid they will soon find out about our information.

[Wei Residence] I'll pack and take some money to see you and Young Master off.

Father, aren't we already back at home so why do we have to leave again?

I heard from Sangsang that Wen Gecheng works for the Mountain and Sea Gang.

But what does this have to do with us?

Why are you so timid that we have to rush back home overnight?

- It's… - What happened?

- It's… - Young Master,

if it wasn't you who leak out the identity of Wen Gecheng,

he wouldn't have died.

What does that have to do with me?

Enough! I have some trouble so we need to hide somewhere for a while.

Whatever may come, I won't let you be hurt.

Mountain and Sea Token?

Father, what's going on?

- When did you start to work for the Mountain and Sea Gang? - Stop talking!

Why is it so noisy?

Be quiet! Otherwise, I'll pull out your front teeth and cut off your tongue.

Please don't, Chief!

I'll do whatever you ask me to do.

I just beg you to let my son go.

To fight such a coward and smear my own hands.

Chief sent me here to find Lu Ping.

But the officials has been tracking him down on a large scale

which makes it harder for me to take actions.

So Wei, you should help me.

Chief, Lu Ping is on run.

I'm afraid he won't cooperate.

Father, save me! I don't want to die, Father.

I don't want to die, Father.

I'll go. I'll go.

Before tomorrow noon, if you can't bring Lu Ping back,

I'll take out your son's front teeth.

I'll go! I'll go! That's a deal!

That's a deal!

Can you guess when Eldest Senior will come back?

You only care about Eldest Senior.

We have the God of Bandits.

Exactly!

I think they are coming back on a large sedan chair carried by eight people.

At least, we, Wind Takers, won the competition.

- Exactly. - Right. - The champion.

- The champion. - Right.

Master, the Mountain and Sea Gang won't take no for an answer.

Even if you threaten Lu ping with Wind Takers to catch him,

the Chief still won't just let us go.

Or maybe we should fight until the last breath, we might earn another chance.

Wei Ming, you've been with me for a long time.

I know you are considerate but we are not comparable to the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Tianqi is my only son, I shall never put him at risk.

- Master. - Do it!

Advance!

That's our dinner.

Eldest Senior, do you know the meaning of fleeing?

We can't appear during daytime, we can't live in the inn, and we definitely can't be picky.

The fire is an obvious target.

We are out of town now, enemies could be anywhere.

If you don't even know this simple thing,

for so many years, how did you live your life?

When you fled from the Mountain and Sea Gang, you were caught because of fire.

Don't mention such things! I already got to Chenqiao Town.

Qin Qi is not there yet, so it's temporarily safe.

Then, why don't we go back to Wind Takers directly?

In the eyes of Xiaochun, Shitou, and them all,

we are still the big heroes who are the winners at the Pneuma Combat Convention.

Don't you want them to be proud of us a bit longer?

You are afraid of indicating them.

We, disciples of Wind Taker Institute, will never leave a compatriot alone.

We'll rest till the small hours and then go back.

When we return back to Wind Takers, there'll be someone who understands us.

Don't you think that I have dragged you down?

You behave like a son from a noble family

but now you are exposed to all the dangers with me, braving the wind and dew,

eating only cold food.

I got used to all this.

Lu Ping, believe me! I'll surely find someone to help us.

- You! - It's from Ruyu House.

I did not steal this, I left Boss Jin a note.

It's on Master.

[Letter to Lu Ping]

Lu Ping, if you want to see your compatriots alive,

come to Wind Taker Institute alone, right now!

Eldest Senior,

it's time to go back.

Can Master Wei only come up with such a conventional method?

For us, drifters in the pugilist world, death is no big deal,

yet we should still try to be alive.

You must die if you fight against the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Fighting for life is better than kneeling down and begging for mercy in front of evil people.

You and Master Wei have been controlled by the Mountain and Sea Gang for so many years.

Trusted aids are eliminated when they finish their mission, do you really not understand?

You don't understand! No one can escape from Mountain and Sea Gang alive.

I already came back here alive.

Don't you see?

Your life is in your own hands.

As long as you want to,

you are free from anybody's control.

General, the officials of Chan State already received the order of arresting.

They have been searching all over the city but still without any result.

If it's not because of the Blackman,

we wouldn't need to drag so many people to catch them.

Tell them to pay more attention, we go directly to Wind Taker Institute.

Wind Taker Institute?

General, I don't think they will go back.

They value their relationships with compatriots more than their own lives.

When something bad happen, they surely will go back.

I can see you cherish their talents.

They are just lacking due to their consideration.

But it's all too late to talk about these things now.

If the lost of Wen Gecheng is known, Xia Bojian's group will fight against the Pneuma Combat Convention.

By then, His Majesty will be let down.

Considering the big picture, just let me be the bad guy.

I'll find a chance to ask for His Majesty's punishment.

General, news from Chan State.

Zhao Xifan and his companion have been found in Chan State City.

- They are going to Wei's Residence. - Wei's Residence?

What are they doing?

We'll know after we ask them in person.

[Wind Taker Institute]

[Wind Taker Institute]

- Lu Ping, it's Lu Ping. - Lu Ping's back!

- It's Lu Ping. - He's back.

- Lu Ping, Lu Ping! - Lu Ping, Lu Ping!

During my three years with Wind Takers,

I prepared to leave all the time.

Now, I cannot bear to leave.

Don't worry! God of the Bandits is here to protect you.

You all will be safe.

Master Wei, come out and talk to me.

Lu Ping.

You finally came back.

I'm guessing all the time, who is the connection between the Mountain and Sea Gang and Chan State.

As predicted, it's, indeed, you.

You know it's me, then what?

You can't escape from me today.

How do you plan to deal with me?

Lu Ping, Lu Ping, don't listen to him!

- Lu Ping, leave! - Leave us alone!

- Go. - Go.

All right! Even if you can catch me today,

we'll still have Zhang Ping, Li Ping in the future.

If someday you neglect something, do you think you can retreat without getting hurt?

Retreat?

Since the day I entered the Mountain and Sea Gang, I have never thought about retreat.

You are born to be a servant.

They hurt your son to this state and you still work for them?

They already took my son into custody.

It's all because of you! Without you, my son wouldn't have been implicated.

It's you who harmed my son.

If I can't kill you, I'll kill them all.

Wait!

I really appreciate your love for your son.

How about we make a deal with each other?

I give you your son back and you'll leave the Wind Taker Institute.

General, why are there people of the Mountain and Sea Gang in the Wei's Residence?

Where have you been?

Xifan, you go out from the back door with the young master.

- What about you? - I'll go to General Qin and beg for Master.

- Why is General Qin here? Where is Sangsang then? - Take care!

Where are you taking me? I'm not going.

[Wind Taker Institute]

I, Lu Ping, never play by the rules.

Wei Ming and Eldest Senior are going to your residence to rescue Wei Tianqi.

Are you crazy?

Zhao Xifan is all alone, how can he fight Leader of Fire Division?

Xifan alone will be in danger

but if we borrow others' power, it'll be easier to win.

Borrow others' power?

"Borrow others' power," what I meant is

Agile Dragon Army.

General, people from the Mountain and Sea Gang are all dead but Zhao Xifan is nowhere to be found.

I find the Security Guard in the backyard.

Do you know it's such a big crime to collude with the Mountain and Sea Gang?

Please forgive me, General! The Mountain and Sea Gang threatened us with the life of our young master.

Master had no way not to obey.

I would like to tell you everything about the Mountain and Sea Gang as an atonement.

You led the Agile Dragon Army here on purpose?

Yes, I had no choice but to do this.

You, B*st*rd!

Good for that Lu Ping! You know exactly what I'm thinking.

Such dignified as I, General of Agile Dragon Army, am just being taken advantage of?

The Mountain and Sea Gang values Lu Ping more than I can imagine.

He surely has something.

I must catch him alive.

Leave this guard here!

We'll get to the Wind Taker Institute as soon as possible.

- Watch him carefully! - Yes.

Lu Ping, why is my son not back? What time is it now?

Be patient! Eldest Senior will be back.

I should not have trusted you.

As of now, you can only choose to trust me.

I can't wait any longer!

- No. - Lu Ping.

- Master Wei, think twice! - Father!

Eldest Senior is back.

[Wind Taker Institute] Tianqi!

Tianqi, are you all right?

Let me see! I'm so worried.

- Eldest Senior. - Lu Ping, are you okay?

Father, I don't understand! Why did you cooperate with the Mountain and Sea Gang?

- Isn't it better if we just keep our own family? - No, I…

Wei Zhong, you've already been exposed.

You are worth nothing to the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Even if you take Lu Ping back, they won't let you go.

Your loyal servant, Wei Ming, has relayed everything to Qin Qi.

It's not late for you to stop right now.

Lu Ping, now I know why the Mountain and Sea Gang can't catch you for so many years.

Master Wei,

not everyone lacks the courage to fight against the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Father, set Wind Takers free!

Let's cooperate!

I listen to you.

Set them free! [Wind Taker Institute]

- Eldest Senior. - Eldest Senior.

Lu Ping.

Listen! Wind Takers are dismissed today.

- Everybody should go to find their own places to stay. - Dismiss?

- Where can we go? - Yes, how could it be?

I am the criminal right now.

- Are you going to be my accomplices? - So what?

You belong to Wind Takers, so we have been accomplices for a long time.

- Exactly. - Yes.

Everyone, listens to me!

As long as we survive, Wind Takers won't be annihilated.

We shall meet if destiny wants us to meet.

Tianqi, I'll take you to General Qin to beg him to let us free.

Okay.

Father!

- Father. - Run!

- Quickly run! - Father.

Father.

- Hurry! Hurry! - I don't want to.

- Father. - Go. - Go now!

Lu Ping.

Everyone, go to the main hall! Hurry!

- Father. - Be quick! Be quick!

Watch out!

You all go out from the backdoor, I'll take care of here.

- Eldest Senior. - Leave now!

Lay down!

- Where is Lu Ping? - He has fled to the back mountain.

In front of the real enemy,

could you please offer us a helping hand without thinking about the previous matters?

- Wen Rui, you stay here, I'll go to the back mountain. - Yes.

Come along!

- Eldest Senior. - Eldest Senior.

Be careful!

I must take Lu Ping back.

No one of Wind Takers shall be left behind.

You think I can't recognize you if you wear the mask?

Guo Youdao.
