♫ 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! ♫

[Legend of Awakening]

[Episode 25]

Only if you help me save Su Tang, can I save myself with confidence.

Okay, I promise you.

Young Lord Lu,

I'm willing to go with Miss to rescue Miss Su Tang.

Ziyan, you—

You both have been taking care of me.

I have regarded you as my family a long time ago.

Young Lord Lu, if you still regard me as a friend, don't keep me out of this.

Might as well!

More people means more assurance.

Okay.

Then I entrust Su Tang's life to both of you.

What?

The Big Dipper had even broken into the prison just to rescue Lu Ping

so how could they just let Qin Qi take him back to Yuezhou for execution now?

Yes.

It was you, Young Lord Xu, who proposed to the chief that you could

abduct Lu Ping from a small path under the mountain.

Now, you are one step behind Qin Qi.

I don't know how Young Lord Xu will explain this to the chief.

As long as the chief can give me a little more time, I can definitely change the situation here.

[Bring Xu Weifeng back. Don't alarm the Big Dipper.]

I don't think you'll have the chance.

Chief wants to see you.

General Qin.

- Open the door. - Yes.

When do you plan on chopping off my head?

At noon tomorrow.

This is an explanation to Tan State and will also comfort Xu Tianbing's spirit.

Okay.

I still have time to have a dream.

How could you still fall asleep at a time like this?

Lu Ping,

you must have hated me.

I can only live until tomorrow.

Why should I hate you?

At first in Kaifeng, you were supposed to be the winner of the Pneuma Combat Convention

but you were framed by me.

Today, you took the initiative to save me in Yuezhou

but you are still being used by me to be the scapegoat.

I've sacrificed you several times.

You have reasons to hate me to the core.

You and I have different needs and reasons.

You did it for the Qin Family

and the Great Shuo State.

As for me,

I did it for a clear conscience

and for the people I care about.

Even if it were to happen again,

we would've made the same choices.

Since that's the case,

what's there to hate?

You are a talented person.

If I met you earlier, I would have taken you under my command at all costs

but it's too late to say that now.

Lu Ping, I have been unfair to you in this lifetime,

I will be your slave in my next life to repay you.

Get ready for your execution tomorrow.

Chief, Mountain Division Leader Zhou was defeated by Yan Qiuci that day.

We still have not found his whereabouts.

Young Lord Xu, your plan failed.

Young Lord Xu, one shouldn't do things beyond one's ability.

Otherwise, one would create more trouble for everyone else, am I right?

Chief, he is sick and useless now.

He also knows a lot the secrets of our gang.

Why don't we get rid of him?

Wait!

Chief, I still have another idea.

Haven't you always wanted Lu Ping alive? Am I right?

You indeed know too much.

I could bring him back.

Chief, you're not going to trust him again, are you?

If you really want Lu Ping alive,

I can go.

Lu Ping will be executed tomorrow.

Qin Qi will be strictly guarded.

Right now, Leader Zhou hasn't returned yet.

Yan Xifan is too obvious and there's no one else you can use.

The only one who can bring Lu Ping back without being known is only me, Chief.

Tonight, at the ferry,

I'll only wait for you until the wee hours.

Okay.

It's too hard to break through.

We'll only alarm the guards.

Do you have a way to sneak in?

The area is too large.

If we can't confirm the location of Miss Su Tang,

I'm afraid that I will just alarm the guards.

We can't afford to alarm the guards.

Xu Weifeng hasn't been back for a long time.

Could he have already sent Su Tang out of the manor?

What should we do?

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

Don't worry! I've been guarding the entrance of his manor for the past 2 days.

I didn't close my eyes for even a second.

I swear in the name of the World's No. 1 Assassin

that Su Tang is definitely still in his manor.

Xu Weifeng did something.

He put a bunch of spy in the side courtyard

so I can't determine the exact location of Su Tang.

Also, during these past 2 days,

no one has carried a vessel that was large enough to fit a person, in or out the manor.

Besides, since he left the lodging,

he has added many guards to the manor.

So Su Tang must still be in the manor.

Lu Ping will be executed at noon tomorrow.

If he still has any ambition, he will definitely leave.

The only chance for us to save Su Tang is when he leaves

so whether or not there's a trace of Su Tang,

we still need to break in the manor.

Mo Lin,

how long since you had a good meal and slept well?

I don't remember.

If I relax any little bit,

I may miss a clue.

Why don't I take your shift?

That's okay.

It's about the life of my master so I'll do it myself.

You're going to die first this way.

I know you are honorable and loyal to your master, but this is not the way.

She is not only my master, she also is Su Tang.

As long as she's safe, even if I die,

it doesn't matter.

[Pure Wind Courtyard ]

Bao Niang.

Young Lord.

How many times have I told you that you don't need to clean the study? Get out!

Young Lord, you seem to be getting more and more cranky lately.

Bao Niang, I was the one who saved your life.

Just follow my order. Can you?

Yes.

Endure for a bit!

People can emit a scent from their skin.

I also have continuously blocked the acupuncture point using a silver needle, which can temporarily seal off the scent,

so no one can find you.

I will try my best to be gentle.

If it hurts, I have some candy here.

How is my brother?

Su Tang,

Lu Ping is very important to the Mountain and Sea Gang, isn't he?

What do you want to do to my brother?

I underestimated the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Originally, I wanted to use them to finish my own plan

but I never thought I was controlled by them in the end.

They used me and then casted me aside like an old shoe.

Answer me! What do you want from my brother?

Weren't you the one who told me not to give up on my dreams?

Since Lu Ping is so important to the Mountain and Sea Gang,

then only when I get Lu Ping first,

will the Mountain and Sea Gang help me willingly.

Am I right?

Xu Weifeng, you can kill me

but you can't harm my brother.

How could I bear to kill you?

No matter what happens to Lu Ping, I will take good care of you for him

and will not let you get hurt again.

My scent can be sealed but the smell of blood can't be sealed.

Older Brother, I can't save you this time.

I just hope that you won't be dragged down by me and you can find some way of tiding over the crisis.

Mo Lin, you have to find me.

This man has a personal relationship with Qin Qi.

It's hard to guarantee that Qin Qi won't find someone to replace him.

General Xu is from Tan State.

The murderer should be taken back to Tan State by me for execution.

Young Lord Xu, I'm afraid... that will be out of line.

It is the order of the Minister of Defense, Minister Xu.

If you dare to violate, you may hinder the friendship between the two countries.

Yes, Young Lord Xu.

I'm already at death's door.

Can't I see a friendly face that makes me happy?

Do I have to see an enemy?

Lu Ping, I've said this before.

I've always regarded you as my friend.

Look! Qin Qi wants to kill you now.

I am here to save you.

[Pure Wind Courtyard]

Mo Lin, Ziyan will distract the guards later.

You and I will sneak into the manor.

I will stand guard while you go find Su Tang.

We leave the rest to God.

I don't believe in God but only in Su Tang.

She is my master so she must also be thinking of a way to notify us.

Ziyan won't be able to get much time. Let's split up!

Blood! It's the smell of Su Tang's blood.

I know where she is.

Master, I'm here to save you.

- Master. - You…

Master. Master!

Master, are you okay?

- I will stop the bleeding. - Okay.

Master! Master, don't scare me!

Young Lord Xu, you indeed do as what you say.

The Mountain and Sea Gang likes having a partner like you.

Senior Xu,

I even thought you had a huge ambition

but you are just a dog of the Mountain and Sea Gang.

I have brought Lu Ping here.

I want the same thing I wanted before.

The Mountain and Sea Gang and Tan State will work together to eliminate Shuo State. Otherwise,

even if I kill him,

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

Okay, I promise you.

This Mountain and Sea Token shows my promise.

When I return to Mountain and Sea Gang, I will plan for this.

It's a firm promise!

Xu Weifeng,

do you really think Mountain and Sea Gang will be so kind?

You and I are the same to them.

As long as you are useless, you will be abandoned like an old shoe.

Lu Ping, you don't have to struggle and instigate anymore.

You lost your freedom once again.

You must be really desperate.

I've told you a long time ago.

No one can escape from the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Chief, you're wrong.

During these past few years,

the Wind Taker Institute and the Big Dipper have taught me a lot.

The first is that I have to

save myself.

Yan Xifan, you're awake?

The 2nd thing that Lu Ping and I learned at the Wind Taker Institute

is that great things can be achieved if brothers work together.

Now it seems like you are the one who is alone.

I heard that the Mountain and Sea Gang is really good at torturing their prisoners.

I'd like to see how many secrets of the Mountain and Sea Gang

you will spit out in the hand of the Agile Dragon Army.

Get ready to die tomorrow.

As long as you won't trouble me in the next life,

I can do you another favor.

Those who killed General Xu, colluded with Mountain and Sea Gang,

and caused disputes between Shuo State and Tan State will definitely appear tonight.

It just depends on whether or not General Qin is willing to put on a show with me.

Okay.

Then General Qin,

please return my weapon back to me.

- Take them away. - Yes.

- You and Qin Qi planned this from the start. - That is natural.

If General Qin didn't come out soon, I was afraid I was going to steal all the limelight.

Didn't we agree? You let Xu Weifeng get the Mountain and Sea Token.

I'll clean up the mess.

Qin Qi, there's no point in capturing me.

Lu Ping killed Xu Tianbing. It's the truth.

If you cover for him, then you are covering up for a murderer.

Is that right?

Feng'er.

Dad, why are you here?

Minister Xu.

Xu Weifeng colluded with the Mountain and Sea Gang to kill the General of Tan,

with the intention of provoking a war between the two states.

Right now, we have solid evidence on this.

Minister Xu, please make a judicious judgment.

Weifeng,

I thought you felt inferior because you couldn't join the army.

I didn't expect that... you've fallen so far.

Minister Xu, we will leave your son to you to deal with.

Weifeng.

Weifeng. No. No.

Lu Ping, tell them to let me go.

Otherwise, you won't see Su Tang ever again!

Using women as a bargaining chip, how could you talk about the country?

Su Tang, how is it possible that they found you?

Even if I give up my life, I won't let you hurt her.

Bao Niang wanted me to tell you that she hopes you won't make another mistake.

She asked me to bring you a few words.

She didn't understand your logic of ending war with a war.

She just hopes that there would be no more war.

Xu Weifeng,

you thought you were helping the common people

but you never knew what they wanted.

Ever since you collaborated with the Mountain and Sea Gang,

everything you've done has been wrong.

That's not it!

Not that. It's not that!

Weifeng, listen to your father.

If you repent, even if I have to give up being an official,

I will save your life.

Child, please repent.

Father,

do you still not understand?

I admit that I am overly ambition but I didn't do anything wrong.

I believe in ending war with a war.

I did it for our country!

The winner takes all in the pugilist world,

but I will never

give up.

Weifeng!

Don't go over there!

- Brother Xu! - Weifeng, don't go over there!

- Brother Xu! - Weifeng!

Weifeng!

Weifeng!

Sang'er.

Don't worry!

They've returned and settled down at the inn.

I've sent some guards there, too.

Yan Xifan had the Xi Sui method applied on him by someone when he was in the Mountain and Sea Gang.

He broke through the Pneuma of Essence by force so it took him a lot of effort,

causing him to be hurt by the rebound.

Right now, the best people are treating him.

- He is fine. - Brother, I…

Lu Ping has been taking care of him for a few days.

Sang'er, the peace talk has started all over again.

This is much more important than a romance.

Don't worry!

You will meet Lu Ping later.

What's wrong with boss? He asked Ling Zi Yang to take care of Xifan instead of me.

Wouldn't Eldest Senior want to see a familiar face when he wakes up? Am I right, Master?

Master?

Actually, in addition to our Eldest Senior,

I also suffered a lot of injuries when I went to Yuezhou Lodging to save you.

Why don't you take care of me?

You look all right.

You didn't even scratch your skin.

Internal injury! That's all internal injuries.

Master, if you're unwilling to take care of me, I can take care of you instead.

Master.

Mo Lin, I am a little tired.

I want to take a walk alone.

Master,

how about I go with you?

I can even take you to fly with my Pneuma of Energy.

I already said that I want to be alone.

Young Hero Xifan, are you feeling better?

It's just a little injury.

Miss Ling, you don't need to worry too much.

Why are you being so polite? It's not a big deal to take care of you.

What are you talking about?

Look, Eldest Senior! Right now, Mo Lin is trying to cheer up my sister.

I don't want to do it myself and I also can't ask Qin Sang to take care of you.

I can only bother Miss Ling here to do so.

It's not a bother at all.

Young Hero Xifan saved my life that day while I was trying to break through my Pneuma after the Soul Splitting method.

Now, I am satisfied if I can do something for him.

Miss Ling is too serious.

Thank you then, Miss Ling.

You two are way too polite.

Who are you putting on an act for?

Speaking of acting,

you two are the best.

When did you two start acting?

Xifan, a competition between us disciples,

it's too barbaric to use swords.

Do you still remember when we were at Wind Taker Institute, you forced me to study every day?

Lu Ping, I have no time to gossip with you.

No? I was going to thank you in my next sentence.

Thanks to you, I was able to break through the six pneumatic powers.

The six pneumas are exquisitely powerful only when they're combined together.

Their strength relies on the internal power core.

Even though the Pneuma of Essence is powerful, it can be overcome by the Pneuma of Sound.

As long as the person's will is strong enough, he may be able to wake up.

You've said before that no one in Wind Taker can be left behind.

You're the Eldest Senior so you definitely can't fall behind.

Do you hear me?

Eldest Senior.

Lu Ping.

This time, it was my turn to cause trouble.

Get up!

It's good that you're back.

No matter how big the trouble is, as long as we are all here,

we can always find a solution.

I will bear the charge of murder.

The Mountain and Sea Gang wants to provoke a war between the two states.

I won't let them get their way.

How about Xu Weifeng? He doesn't leave any evidence of his actions.

Are you really willing to let him roam free?

[Peace and Prosperity]

Since the Mountain and Sea Gang thinks they have you under their control,

why don't you let them be happy for a bit longer?

You mean we can work in collusion, forcing Xu Weifeng and the Mountain and Sea Gang to make a move?

Lu Ping, I will definitely make Xu Weifeng take action.

You must hang in there!

That was so dangerous but we really owe it to the two of you

to come up with this kind of idea.

That time during which I was hypnotized by the Mountain and Sea Gang,

was really like a nightmare.

Now, I am finally awake.

Eldest Senior, that wasn't a dream.

You can't feel this much pain in a dream.

Who asked you use up your strength to be brave?

Now, it's your turn to feel the retribution.

Even though the Mountain and Sea Gang's Xi Sui could improve your skill,

this is a short-term improvement and you definitely suffer quite a bit of backlash.

As the Eldest Senior, I couldn't be the weakest link.

Fine! Enjoy your pain slowly then.

If you do such a thing again next time, I really won't forgive you.

Miss Ling,

look at my body that's full of injuries.

Can you help me to take care of my Eldest Senior?

Don't worry! I don't know how to do anything else

but I will do my best to take care of Young Hero Xifan.

Lu Ping, I don't need someone to look after me.

Miss Ling, do you know how guilty he felt

when you were shot by Qin Qi in Kaifeng?

Lu Ping.

Fine! I won't say it anymore. No more saying!

I'm going to rest.

Thanks, Miss Ling. I can do it myself.

Sorry! I forgot you are the Young Manor Master of Wuji Manor.

You are noble.

People like me can't get too close to you.

Miss Ling, you've mistaken.

I don't care about the empty reputations given by others.

In my heart, Miss Ling is the friend who has been with me through all of these.

I am glad to see you come back safely.

Really?

I am telling the truth.

It's just... you're no longer a maid.

How could I bother you to take care of me?

Since you said that we are friends,

then since I see my friend in trouble,

naturally, I should help to take care of him.

What's that?

[Peace and Prosperity ]

I am glad to see you come back safely from the Mountain and Sea Gang.

In my hometown, the people who come back from a disaster

have to walk over a pot of fire and be brushed with peach blossom branches to dispel ghosts and evil spirits.

Am I being a bit silly?

Not really!

I think it's good.

I wish you peace and good health in your life,

with no obstacles.

May you have a bright and happy life,

and stay away from treacherous and evil people.

[Yuezhou Lodging]

Minister Xia. General Qin.

I have already told His Majesty about everything.

What happened recently was all because of my rebellious son.

Now that the truth is out,

His Majesty still hopes to achieve peace with Shuo State forever.

That is wise of His Majesty. It's really the blessing of Tan State.

Your son is really cunning.

If our army hadn't taken a risky move, I'm afraid we really would have been under the control

of him and the Mountain and Sea Gang.

We were able to resolve this matter smoothly

all thanks to the two young heroes, Lu Ping and Xifan.

If the two of them hadn't worked together, I don't know what irreparable sin

my unfilial son would've done.

Compared to them, I'm really ashamed.

I have failed in teaching my child.

After the peace talks are over,

I will definitely beg for forgiveness from His Majesty.

Minister Xia was out of line.

I hope you can overlook that.

You cherish the country and gave up your own family to protect the people.

I admire you.

As for your son, I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your care, General Qin.

Now that the peace papers have been exchanged,

I will order the Agile Dragon Army to leave your country as soon as possible.

I will also tell His Majesty to release the prisoners of war as well.

You can also let your subordinates open the gate to settle the refugees.

General Qin has arranged everything properly.

I am happy to assist you.

Although Yan Xifan suffers the crime of conspiracy,

he was was under the control of the Mountain and Sea Gang's sorcery

and he didn't personally kill General Xu.

Besides, he has made up for his crimes later on.

I hope your country will be lenient with him.

Yan Jin and the Mountain and Sea Gang have done countless crimes in Shuo State.

His Majesty wishes to remand him to Kaifeng for a trial.

His Majesty has already ordered that all matters concerning the Mountain and Sea Gang

be handed over to your country.

General Qin, please do as you please.

Thank you, Minister.

How did it go?

The city gate will be reopened in two hours.

Thanks a lot.

Lu Ping, you have made great contributions this time.

Is it all that you're only requesting for the city gate to be reopened earlier?

You're not asking for anything for yourself, aren't you?

A high official with a high salary. A fancy manor.

Whatever you want, I can report to His Majesty

and try my best to help you get it.

I'm carefree and without any worries right now.

What do I want those things for?

I protected the people in this city from the plot of the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Watching them go back home and live a peaceful life,

I am already very happy.

After the peace talks between the two countries, Minister Xu will hold several celebrations in the city.

At that time, the common people will go out to celebrate together.

I suggest you go and take a look.

Go and see the city and those commonpeople

that you put your life on the line to protect.

That would be good but it just that...

I will be too lonely if I go alone.

Can I take Qin Sang with me? She likes the lively atmosphere.

She will definitely be happy.

It's up to you whether or not you want to go alone.

You definitely can't bring Qin Sang with you.

She is the Eldest Miss of the Qin Family and a young lady of a noble family.

How could she show her face out in public?

Qin Sang wanders outside all day.

- Don't you have a guilty conscience saying that? - You…

What I say goes.

It's none of your business.

Didn't you just tell me to ask for something for myself?

I want this. I am telling you,

I'll exchange my previous merit for Qin Sang to accompany me out for fun.

If you are worried about us, you can follow along.

I'm dignified as the Commander of the Agile Dragon Army.

I have many military affairs to deal with so how can I have this much time to idle around?

That's true, too! You probably can't do anything if you let Qin Sang stay by your side anyways.

You…

Fine! Considering your merit,

- it's just this time. - That's great!

Thank you, General Qin.

Come out! He has already agreed.

I have the best brother in the world.
