[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 23]

When I arrived just now,

I found that your army had already surrounded the entire lodging.

Suddenly, I didn't know whether I was in Tan State or Shuo State.

It is a customary rule to guard the important area of peace talks with troops.

You say you came here to negotiate

but you brought so many soldiers here.

What you're doing seems to oppose to what you're saying.

Xu Tianbing!

Peace talks are good for both the countries and their people.

Besides, this is the decisions of His Majesty and your emperor.

What is it? Is General Xu unable to control the army?

Are you afraid of my Agile Dragon Army which has less than a hundred soldiers here?

Qin Qi.

General Xu.

Minister Xu, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

However, the years of war only made our people suffer and benefited others.

I also received a message recently saying that the Mountain and Sea Gang has infiltrated Yuezhou,

but no one knows what they are up to.

Therefore, in my opinion, right now,

we still have to be careful.

Enough, General Xu!

We're in the middle of a peace talk. Don't cause any trouble!

I say, Minister Xu, you are pursuing peace between the two kingdoms.

The peace talk hasn't even begun yet.

Your son brought back his friends from the pugilist world

along with Miss Qin who placed a sword to my neck.

They casually threatened me to a peace talk at the gate of my city,

forcing me to open the gate and let the refugees in.

Minister Xu,

you two must have had reached an agreement long ago.

As for me, I'm only a general,

maybe I should retire.

Please go on with your talk.

I will leave first.

General Xu!

- Minister Xu, your general is too arrogant. - I—

Minister Xu, my sister was indeed a bit immature in handling the situation with the refugees.

Please forgive her.

It's just a misunderstanding. Just a misunderstanding!

Today, we have exchanged our peace talk contract but we still have some details to discuss.

Shall we call it a day?

Your son is upright. Please send my best wishes to him.

[Yuezhou Lodging]

It seems like the peace talk will not be that easy.

His Majesty issued a clear order.

No matter what, we must come to an agreement.

In my opinion, you should keep an eye on your sister.

Stop her from causing more trouble.

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

Father, why did you come?

My good son and his friends from the pugilist world kidnapped the general of this city

and personally opened the city gate to let in the refugees.

If I don't come back, everything would fall apart.

Father, General Xu was being too cautious. The civilians are innocent.

Besides, aren't you preparing to talk peace? Then, we would have to deal with those refugees anyway.

If we take actions earlier, they will suffer less.

As for my friends, they are my fellow disciples at the Big Dipper.

Please let them stay here. I will take care of them.

Weifeng, I know that you have cared about

politics since you were young.

It's just that you need to be more patient from now on.

I wasn't thoughtful.

I've made you worry.

Forget it!

According to General Qin, the Mountain and Sea Gang seems to be very ambitious.

I fear that they may cause big trouble.

Getting help from the pugilist world is also good.

Our country has been at war for too long.

No matter what, the peace talk this time must succeed.

Father!

Earlier I told you about how I had wanted to join the army and you've agreed.

During my time at the Big Dipper, I wrote ideas about managing the army.

Father, please have a look.

Since you have already left the Big Dipper, then you should stay peacefully at home to take care of your illness.

Don't waste time thinking about things like that. Furthermore, don't waste time writing these.

I understand what you're thinking about.

I also know that you can't be persuaded.

However, you should know your limits.

There are some things you should know that you won't be able to do.

I understand.

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

Be practical?

If everyone is satisfied with their original status and is afraid of changing,

then who will come out and unite the world?

Help yourself?

Your sister is an idiot.

Now you're telling me to help myself?

Who is the idiot?

Master, what are you doing?

Didn't you ask me to bring sugar to you?

I agree, okay?

You are no longer an idiot.

As long as you agree to one condition.

Do you have any medicine that can strengthen the human body and cure their illness?

If I had such a medicine, I would have eaten it myself a long time ago.

There wouldn't be any leftover.

Who do you want to give it to?

Who else could it be?

You can give it to anyone except Xu Weifeng, that pretty boy.

- Why? - I am not willing.

Master, I really don't understand! In what way am I inferior to him?

You behave like a servant in front of him while you are so cruel to me.

Master, why don't you take a careful look at me?

Even though I don't have relatives working in the government, I am still the young master of Carefree Valley.

Compared to him, I am just as rich.

Moreover, he must have some problems.

No one can be so perfect in this world.

- So no matter what I say, you won't give it to me, right? - Hurt, hurt, hurt!

Even if you don't have a magic pill, a normal nourishing pill will do! Will you give it to me?

Here.

Here! Here!

My good disciple!

I'm leaving.

I'm sorry but I'm really in a bad mood.

I brought you some medicine.

I had some medicine earlier in the day.

This is different. This can build up your body.

It'll help your body recovers so you can join the army.

Did you hear the conversation between my father and I?

I...

Just by chance.

Don't you want to join the army?

If this is effective, I will ask Mo Lin for more.

Thank you for your concern but medicine like this is useless for me.

I've taken so many different kinds in my life.

Maybe I am bound to be a good-for-nothing.

What I wrote was just my daydreaming.

It is not necessarily wrong to have dreams.

When I was young, my older brother and I were imprisoned in a very scary place.

I even thought it would be a dream to be able to escape

but my older brother told me that

having a dream is not necessarily wrong.

If you don't even have dreams, then you really are dead.

As long as you don't lose hope,

your advice may be put to use one day.

Su Tang, I've only met you once.

Why do you help me like this?

Both my brother and I don't have a home.

Meeting someone who is willing to help others return home,

I really hope you can succeed.

I have had asthma since young.

Even my father lost hope in me.

You are the first person to say this to me.

Su Tang,

thank you.

After Eldest Senior left, you were also the first one to cheer my brother up.

I should thank you on his behalf as well.

Does Lu Ping really

care that much about his Eldest Senior?

It's okay. I can do it myself.

It's getting late. You should hurry to go to bed.

I will take the medicine.

By the way, send a message to Lu Ping for me

saying that his Eldest Senior will definitely return.

I have taken the medicine so you have nothing to worry about anymore.

Then, I'll head back first.

Boss, I finally understand what you mean when you said I should help myself.

You, pretty boy!

After taking my medicine, I guarantee you'll puke and have diarrhea a lot.

Let's see how you can still flirt with my master.

Miss, according to the general, we are in the middle of a peace talk.

Please stay in your room.

Did you climb over the wall again? Aren't you afraid of being killed by arrows?

Didn't I already say that even if we don't live together, we can still see each other?

Have you got any information on Xifan?

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

It is already midnight.

He hasn't puked or had diarrhea yet.

Could it be that he realized that what I gave him was a laxative so he didn't take it?

He goes out alone in the middle of the night.

As I said, he can't be so perfect.

He must have some problems.

That's strange! Where is he?

I had also asked the scouts your brother gave me from the Agile Dragon Army to search in the city for a while

but there was no news.

What's about the peace talk?

It will start tomorrow.

If the Mountain and Sea Gang want to interfere,

they will certainly appear tonight.

It's just that Xu Tianbing is arrogant

and have had many conflicts with my brother.

My brother tolerated him for the sake of the peace talk.

He isn't so patient when interacting with me.

How can he treat work related and his sister related affairs the same way?

If one day,

some brat boy gets close to Su Tang, what will you do?

If Su Tang really likes him,

I don't care who he is.

Lu Ping, don't give your sister to a bad guy.

Xu Weifeng is not a good man.

Why are you here as well?

What? Lu Ping can come but I can't?

What's more, after having a breaking through last time, I have been successful at the Pneuma of Energy.

I don't need padding anymore when climbing over walls.

Oh right, let's talk about something serious.

I saw Xu Weifeng put out the candle and left his mansion in the middle of the night.

He was stealthy and suspicious so he must have some secrets.

It just that I lost him halfway through.

Otherwise, I would definitely expose him.

What were you doing outside his room in the middle of the night?

- I— - Miss,

there was news from the Xu Mansion, saying that something happened to Xu Weifeng.

Miss Su Tang couldn't find her brother or Mo Lin so she came to you for help.

Didn't you say that Xu Weifeng secretly left in the middle of the night? Why did something happen to him?

Who knows what evil he is doing?

Maybe he detected me

so he lost me on purpose.

Boss, think about it! We are not the people from Tan State.

Who knows what he wants from helping us?

- Brother. - What's wrong?

Brother Xu has been constantly spitting blood. We can't stop him.

Young master. Young master. Young master.

- Brother Xu. - He's been poisoned.

- Where is the antidote? - Are you exposing me in public?

- You can be jealous but this is his life we're talking about.

Did you poison Brother Xu?

I… I just gave him a laxative.

Who knew he would spit blood?

Moreover, you should ask him why he went out secretly in the middle of the night.

Who knows what he was up to?

Young Master heard that you've all been searching for Hero Yan

which is why he went in the middle of the night to give some money to the refugees

- in order to help you get information on this. - Everyone can speak beautiful words.

Who knows whether or not this is true.

[Reward for Information]

Mo Lin, you've gone too far.

Master, I know I am lazy, greedy, and cowardly,

but I swear on my name of the World's No. 1 Assassin that I didn't poison him.

- You would rather believe him than believe me. - Enough!

Mo Lin, come with me.

Boss, you told me to

- help myself. - I didn't mean this.

Then should I watch master go with him?

Boss, Xu Weifeng is an outsider.

We are friends that are ready to die for each other.

Do you also think that I was wrong?

This matter...

you might just have to apologize to Senior Xu first.

Okay.

How long has it been?

You already trust him so much.

Since you don't trust me, I should just leave.

Even if I give up my career as an assassin,

I can still go back to Carefree Valley to inherit my property.

Let's never see each other again!

Mo Lin.

- Mo Lin! - Young Hero Lu.

Young Hero Lu, young master has woken up.

He said he has information on Young Lord Yan.

There is a mansion in the outskirts of the city,

which used to be the home of officials' concubines

with the name of Tingsong Villa.

It used to be uninhabited.

But recently,

there have been people coming and going in the middle of the night.

Some refugees even saw Young Lord Yan among them.

Senior Xu,

it was my brother's mistake that you got poisoned.

I apologize on his behalf

but that doesn't mean I trust you.

We just met each other.

You didn't have to get involved in this,

let alone help us at the risk of your life.

In all my life,

because of my inherent illness,

no one thought I could achieve anything

Only Miss Su Tang kept encouraging me.

Maybe to repay her trust,

I should do this.

Then I will accept your information.

- Brother, I— - Su Tang,

take good care of Senior Xu.

Brother Xu.

General.

What happened? Miss ran off again.

She left a message saying she was searching for Yan Xifan with Lu Ping.

General Qin, the peace talk will start tomorrow.

Xu Tianbing was so aggressive so there are still many items that we haven't decided on.

It is not the time to worry about your personal business.

The country's matter is more important than family's.

Didn't you see that I was coming up with a plan with Minister Xia?

Hurry on! Bring her back.

Yes.

Minister Xia.

This is between me and my senior, why are you here?

Your business is my business.

Besides, by helping you, I am also helping my older brother.

Lu Ping, we're almost there.

Have you thought about if Xifan is really there, what you are going to do?

He never defeated me in the Wind Taker Institute.

Maybe if I beat him up, he'll wake up.

What if…

I only said "what if," that he doesn't wake up?

Have you thought of the worst situation?

During my hardest times,

eldest senior never gave up on me.

I will never give up on him, either.

It doesn't matter if he is good or bad, insane or silly,

I'll never leave him with the Mountain and Sea Gang.

He also wouldn't want to live like that.

Don't worry! The evil cannot beat the justice.

Xifan has always been upright.

He can't be imprisoned by the Mountain and Sea Gang.

My junior is so devoted to me.

I'm so moved, almost to a point of crying.

You said that I have never defeated you and kept saying you want to save me.

You're so proud of yourself! Aren't you afraid that I might be jealous?

Xifan, let's talk later when we are back.

It is not all fun and games at the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Come back with me!

Lu Ping.

Xifan,

wake up!

Don't forget! It's because of you that the Wind Takers got destroyed.

You are the one who needs to reflect on yourself.

I really am living very well right now.

Leader Zhou, take good care of them.

After our big event, take them to the Mountain and Sea tower.

You can go back first. I will take care of Brother Xu.

Yes.

Brother Xu.

It is windy here. You can't stand it.

I feel much better seeing that you care about me.

Don't worry! They are brothers.

There will definitely be a positive outcome this time.

What's wrong?

You should not stand in the wind. I will go and get you a coat.

I know I am lazy, greedy and cowardly,

but I swear on my name of the World's No. 1 Assassin

that I didn't poison him.

What's wrong?

People can use acupuncture points to create fake health conditions.

If Mo Lin didn't lie, then did Brother Xu really fake his

condition of being poisoned?

[Su - Dan - Shuo - Tan - Jing] (TN: Map of the different territories - Clockwise from top left)

It is the Mountain and Sea Gang Token.

Why is it here?

This Mountain and Sea Gang token,

are you familiar with it?

Brother Xu,

you are from the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Sometimes, it is better to know nothing.

Why did you want to know the truth?

Young Lord Xu should have been more careful.

Just now, you could have been exposed.

Young Lord Yan, you are not qualified to lecture me.

I am still the leader at Yuezhou.

Young Lord Yan, aren't you only here to help me?

Xifan, he is the leader for this operation in Yuezhou.

Greeting Chief.

You are…

I heard that you were an old acquaintance of Lu Ping.

Maybe this time I'll really need Young Lord Yan's help.

You don't trust him?

I heard Young Lord Xu is the son of the War Minister.

He also cooperated with Lu Ping in Yuezhou and became his good friend.

I don't know why you would want to cooperate with the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Allies, of course, are only made through mutual interests.

Everything is under control.

The scapegoat and the entry to the lodging,

- Young Lord, have you made those arrangements for me? - You don't have to worry about this matter.

My father has already arranged everything for the sake of the peace talk.

He sends fresh vegetables to the lodging every day.

I have already passed down the order.

You can just sneak in with the group.

Once you're inside, just do as we planned.

Then the peace talk is bound to fail.

The Mountain and Sea Gang and Tan State can win together.

You are very cautious! I admire you.

I am just curious whether your emperor knows about our cooperation?

Had it not been for my father and other officials who stand for peace,

I would not have been able to interfere.

His Majesty only needs to know of my loyalty to Tan State.

He doesn't have to know how it happened.

Good! Since that's the case,

then please wait for my good news.

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

I have waited for a whole day.

Why haven't anyone come to find me?

A bunch of idiots!

Don't you all know that I ran away

just to encourage you to follow me? I gave you a way out!

Having no money, I will starve to death just waiting for you to come and find me.

Come out! We're done preparing the fruits and vegetables.

We can set off to the lodging.

Eldest Senior? Why is he here?

Why is there such a strong smell of blood?

Please wait for a while longer.

Minister Xu, we are here with utmost sincerity.

General Xu not only showed disrespect to Shuo the day before yesterday,

but he has also been absent repeatedly for the peace talk, time after time.

What does he mean by this?

General Xu may lack good manners,

but he has authority in the army.

We can't do the peace talk without him.

Please be generous to forgive him.

General Xu loves alcohol so maybe he got drunk last night.

- I will ask someone to inform him. - Minister Xu.

Don't worry, Minister Xu!

Since this involves the common people of the two countries, I will be patient.

Since General Xu is ill,

then how about we all go back to rest?

When everyone is here, we'll discuss official matters again.

[Yuezhou Lodging]

I already sealed off your Pneuma of Strength using needles.

You can't escape.

Drink some water! It'll make you feel better.

Mo Lin was right. You are such a liar!

You were putting on an act since the very beginning.

You made my brother trust you.

My actions may be questionable but I am not in the wrong.

I did it all for Tan State.

You said you would give refugees a home

but you are the same as the Mountain and Sea Gang.

You all want to start a war.

Then let me ask you! Where do refugees come from?

It's indeed from the dispute between Tan State and Shuo State.

Then what's the use of a peace talk?

How long can the temporary peace be maintained?

Once the emperors from both kingdoms get ambitious again, everything will go back to the way it was before.

We can only stop a war with a war.

When the two countries unite,

that's the only time the common people can live in peace forever and won't lose their home due to war.

I have understood this principle since young.

It's just that I was never able to fulfill it.

You keep talking about justice

but what you actually always wanted was a war.

That's why you colluded with the Mountain and Sea Gang.

You're not doing this for the good of Tan State.

You are just doing it to satisfy your own greedy desires.

I have prepared to write to his Majesty at anytime.

Once the peace talk fails,

Tan State can join force together with Dan (from the north).

We'll directly march to Kaifeng.

Su Tang,

you're the one who encouraged me,

telling me that my dream can be fulfilled.

I also believe that when I am successful, you will be by my side.

You won't succeed!

My brother has sided with Qin Qi.

He won't let the Mountain and Sea Gang succeed.

Qin Qi?

There will be a big show at the lodging later.

It's just that Lu Ping may not have a chance to see it.

The Mountain and Sea Gang won't help you for no reason.

They've only wanted my older brother.

You gave him to them, didn't you?

Tingsong Villa was just a trap, wasn't it?

I'm telling you! My brother is very clever.

You are bound to be exposed by him.

He won't fall for your trap.

Lu Ping is indeed clever

but he values friendship too much.

People like him... can only be sacrificed for the greater good.

Lu Ping, the Mountain and Sea Gang may have made some sort of plan.

We must find some way.

Why don't I attract the attention of Zhou Youlong so you can run away first?

- Then send news to my brother afterward. - No way!

I can't leave you alone here.

Once the people from the Mountain and Sea Gang relax a little,

let's take action together.

We will act according to the situation.

Our savior is here.

It's Mo—

You still talk so much when you are about to die?

It really sucks to see couples.

What about handing this girl over to serve me?

Leader Zhou, how does it feel to have Yan Xifan as your boss?

Just a betrayer who got kicked out of his home.

How can you compare him with me?

However, it's true that you're a watchdog for him right now.

You've been in the Mountain and Sea Gang for a while.

Wen Gecheng may have left but Yan Xifan came.

You are always just a servant.

- What do you mean by it? - Didn't Lin Tianyi tell you?

I am the Awakener with six Pneumas in my body and the best candidate for Xi Sui.

If you take me back to the gang, at most you'll share half of the reward with Yan Xifan.

It won't benefit you much but if you get all six of my pneumatic powers,

you can be carefree forever.

You don't have to be an idiot who is always obeying the orders of others.

Are you really willing to do so?

Xifan has said that I am too kind.

Let Qin Sang go, then I'll cooperate with you.

You want to sacrifice all your martial arts just for a girl?

I really overestimated you.

Lu Ping, whom are you kidding?

I am just an ordinary man.

If you are hurt at all because of me, I can't be at ease.

Zhou Youlong, the girl I like,

be safe and live long.

Let alone my martial arts,

I am willing sacrifice even my life for her.

If you improve your skills

and kill Yan Xifan, that traitor, for me

that would be even better.

Leader Zhou, you can't betray Leader Lin.

Zhou Youlong, if you dare touch him, I will kill you!

Leader, let's talk at another place.

I can't stand the scene of parting and saying goodbye.

We have to focus with the Xi Sui.

As I said, you can't leave me.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Just now, you said you like me and could sacrifice even your life for me.

Is it true or were you acting?

I will tell you after all this is over.

Boss, please flirt at another time.

I saw our Eldest Senior in the city.

He dressed like another hired-hand and got into the peace talk lodging.

There were many baskets on the cart and a strong smell of blood inside them.

I thought something felt off so I came to find you.

Lodging? What is he doing there?

Oh no! The Mountain and Sea Gang want to ruin the peace talk.

Qin Qi is very careful about this.

Now Xifan interfered as well.

This time, things will become very troublesome.
