[Word of Honor]

[Episode 2]

Kind lady.

You look sweet, but you're fierce.

I don't believe you!

Master?

Xiang, stop embarrassing yourself.

You can't fight, but don't you have a good sense?

I apologize for my maid's rudeness.

I don't deserve this.

I should apologize instead.

So you know martial arts too.

You're my friend in the martial arts world then.

I'm sorry.

I was neglectful just now.

I am Zhang Cheng Ling.

I belong to the Mirror Lake Sect of the Five Lakes Alliance

May I ask

which clique or sect are you from? What's your name?

I don't deserve that.

Friend, are you injured or ill?

I'm not talented. I don't belong to any clique or sect.

Young Master, let's go.

Let's not bother about him.

Since you came to the area of Yue's Mirror Lake Sect,

if you don't mind,

you're our guest now.

No matter if you're injured, ill,

or facing a problem,

you may always bring my name card

to the Mirror Lake Manor for a stay.

Young Master, even if you have a name card,

we can't randomly give it out to people on the street.

Master has said that this name card...

This is what father told me to do.

We rely on our parents at home, but depend on our friends outside.

Righteous men shall help each other.

Look, he's so ill.

Since I met him...

Young Master.

How do you know he's a righteous man？

Look at his attire. What if he's a bad guy?

Young Master, we shall leave.

We will be late if we don't hurry up.

Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhang.

Are you busy?

I shall not hold you up.

Yes, I almost forget about it.

I'm rushing to buy my mother some pastries.

Friend, you're very welcome.

Everything will stay as it is.

We will meet again.

[Mirror Lake Sect, Zhang Cheng Ling]

Forget it.

When Jiu Xiao was young,

he was as silly as him too.

Master.

I was about to punish him.

Why didn't you let me punish that sick man?

[Qing Yu Tower]

His steps were so tricky.

He was so annoying.

Can you even

fight against the

Swift Moving Steps?

Swift Moving Steps?

Which sect is that from?

Four Seasons Manor.

Four Seasons Manor?

What's Four Seasons Manor?

Why didn't I hear about it?

This man might be the variable. I shall see him.

♪You chase me and I'll chase you!♪

♪There's a legend in the martial arts world!♪

♪The water from the Five Lakes gathers around the World♪

♪Who else deserves the supremacy in the martial arts world?♪

It's this ballad again.

The martial arts world has only settled for a few years

but the Five Lakes World Alliance wants to gain power again

and become the supreme leader of the martial arts world unfairly.

They don't deserve it.

It will be a disaster.

Who are you?

[Boatman]

[Boatman] You! Evil Kid! What are you doing?

Couldn't you see that I was sleeping?

Are you free to offer me a ride now?

Yes.

I want to go to Mirror Lake Manor.

Three mace of silver for a ride. Are still you going?

Alright, let's go!

Silly kid.

You can get 20 round trips with three mace of silver.

You stated your price and I agreed with it.

It's already a deal.

It's none of your business even if I'm silly.

Wait a minute.

Kid, are you crazy?

You look sick as if you're dying soon.

Do you have any bad intentions?

Are you planning to cheat on me?

Go away!

I'm not making a deal with you.

Go away!

A fated man would not be rejected.

Why are you forcing him when you're not fated?

If you don't mind,

why don't you have a ride with me?

What are you doing?

You! Pretentious guy!

What are you planning to do?

Are you snatching my customer?

Don't you know that "first come, first served"?

Silly kid, let's go!

Alright! I can go?

Come.

See you again!

Come!

Hurry up!

Don't worry about your trip, I'll eventually welcome you.

Master.

Who exactly is that Tuberculosis?

A variable.

[Mirror Lake Manor]

This is the legendary Jiangnan, with apricot blossoms and misty rain.

What are you doing?

It's worth it even if I die here.

Bastard! Little Jerk, don't you dare to leave!

You haven't pay!

You! Evil Tuberculosis!

Did you dress up like this to cheat around?

Others dine and dash, but you ride and dash?

You're overestimating yourself!

How dare you dash?

You're just a shabby stray dog!

Give me the money!

If you still don't pay,

I'll break your bones and boil them in my soup!

You said that I ride and dash?

Yes! I was talking about you, evil kid!

I shall ride and dash then!

Don't run!

Stop!

You evil kid!

Bastard! Old Jerk!

I'm sorry.

I hope you don't mind.

Your steps were so elegant.

They were unforgettable.

So I came here purposely to have a look at them again.

Elegant?

Bastard!

Young Master, is there anything wrong with your eyes?

No, I have a good sense.

Your steps were like the snow in the wind,

and the moon hidden behind the clouds.

They were beautiful.

Who is this guy?

He knows about Four Seasons Manor's Swift Moving Steps.

I think that you love drinking too.

It's a nice day.

Why don't we drink together on my boat?

As said, "after having a bottle of wine among the flowers,

you would no longer feel lonely."

You followed me here.

What's your purpose? Why don't you make it clear?

I followed you?

Didn't you say

"see you again"?

So I'm here to see you.

He's so good at kissing ass.

Are we seeing each other again?

[Mirror Lake Manor]

My master is kind and generous.

First Young Master and Second Young Master

also likes to associate with talented and righteous men too.

Although our manor is small,

there are quite a few martial artists.

Each of them is heroic and good at martial arts.

I didn't expect that Little Young Master

would learn from them.

But his sense is...

too different.

♪The water from the Five Lakes gathers around the World♪

♪Who else deserves the supremacy in the martial arts world?♪

It's been some time since Mirror Lake Sect is not involved in the world's affair.

We shall wish those who want to become the supreme leader of

[Chief of Mirror Lake Sect, Zhang Yu Sen] the martial art world good luck.

But father,

recently, the song has become worse.

[Eldest son of Zhang Yu Sen, Zhang Cheng Feng] There's another verse.

[Eldest son of Zhang Yu Sen, Zhang Cheng Feng]

Its lyrics are creepy. It's very suspicious.

♪The Iridescent Clouds are scattered and the Glaze is shattered♪

♪Who will cry with the Ghosts on Mount Qingya♪

What?

Is this song hinting about that the Glazed...

Cheng Feng, be careful with your words.

Father.

This year, Senior Deng came to invite you

to the mid-autumn festival gathering of the Five Lakes Alliance again.

[Peaceful and Profound] Why don't we

visit Uncle Gao in Yueyang City this year?

[The Supreme Kindness]

That's Zhang Yu Sen, Master Zhang, right?

It's been a long time since we last met Uncle Gao.

They are Master and First Young Master.

Master, here, please.

[Like Water]

Who is that man?

That man?

He's a beggar who got Cheng Ling's name card

and he is trying to seek money.

I don't know how they met.

I didn't want to spoil his mood,

so I asked the butler to offer him a room.

Cheng Feng, you should take care of both of your brothers.

Today onwards,

you shall not allow Cheng Luan and Cheng Ling to leave this island.

Yes, father.

[Woodshed]

Master.

Master.

Since you're a friend of Little Young Master,

you're an important guest.

But we haven't got enough rooms.

You might have to stay in this woodshed for a few days.

Woodshed?

If you're offended...

A woodshed is good.

I have another request.

Master, please say it.

This wine bottle

is empty. Its stomach is growling.

I understand.

I'll bring you wine and dishes later.

Thank you!

I'll leave then.

I've cleared everything.

There were a few generals who couldn't judge the situation

and were uncooperative.

I've killed them.

Hang their heads at the city gate

to serve as an example.

Yes.

Your Highness, news from the spy.

At Jiangnan, someone is spreading

a creepy song among the kids.

Seems like it's hinting at the whereabouts of the Glazed Amour.

Send people to investigate it right away.

One more thing.

The spy who followed Zhou Zi Shu

lost his trace not long later.

He has indeed prepared for it. Continue searching for him.

It's midnight,

the Nails of Seven Torments are here again.

Help!

Help!

I think I've read about

these ghost masks in some book.

The Ghost Valley from Mount Qingya?

Why is this group of evils after the Mirror Lake Sect?

They are all servants.

None of the martial artists is fighting back.

Seems like they've lost their power.

Mirror Lake Sect is devastated by the Ghost Valley.

Little Young Master, follow me!

The Trapped Sparrow?

Why is a spy from the Window of Heaven here?

Forget it. I shall save them first!

[Mirror Lake Manor]

Hide right away!

Are you alright?

Tuberculosis?

Old Jerk! Bring the kid away!

Let's go! Hurry up!

Zhang Yu Sen!

If you don't want to suffer,

hand in the Glazed Amour quickly!

No way!

Alright. You're not afraid of dying.

But are you afraid of witnessing the death of your two beloved sons?

Are you alright?

Sir.

Who exactly are you?

I rode and dashed,

but I saved your life.

It's even now.

Tuberculosis, you're wrong.

You rode on my boat two times.

I helped you this time too,

but you still didn't pay me.

Tuberculosis.

We still have to run.

We can't stay here for too long.

I'm having tuberculosis. I can't run anymore.

Bring this kid away.

Don't care about me.

You...

No way. You've saved me.

I can't leave you here.

If my father finds out that

I'm discourteous,

he will break my legs.

Are you silly?

Your father could have already died.

No one will punish you anymore.

Hurry up and run away!

My father won't die.

My father is Qiu Yue Jian, Chevalier of Mirror Lake.

Of course I know who your father is.

Qiu Yue Jian saved my life.

I paddled a boat in front of your house for three years

because I was looking for a chance

to return him my life.

Hurry up and run away!

Run towards Tai Lake and look for Chevalier Sanbai.

Once you meet the people from the Five Lakes Alliance,

tell them your identity.

I'm not leaving!

I'm a martial artist!

Uncles, hurry up and heal your injuries with your internal strength.

I'll guard you!

[Road, brightness, ordinary, saint]

Silly kid!

He's a good kid.

But he's silly.

Tuberculosis, can you still stand up?

I need 15 minutes.

Alright.

Hanged Ghost, one of the top ten evil ghosts from Mount Qingya is here!

Hand in the Glazed Armor

and I'll make you suffer less!

You foul ghost!

Go in!

Uncle Li!

Uncle Li!

I'll kill you!

I didn't expect that

Qiu Yue Jian would have

such a useless kid.

You evil Hanged Ghost!

How dare you do evil in front of me?

I'll make you into the real ghost!

You! Beggar!

You're good at martial arts.

Nice sword.

Master!

Brother, we've met again.

Li!

Uncle Li!

Bastard.

I was almost brought away by the Grim Reaper.

Master! Master!

Hurry up and save him!

Why are you crying?

I'm not dead yet.

It's not too late to cry for me

after I take my last breath.

Tuberculosis.

Your martial arts are good.

Slightly better than yours.

I gave up.

I never owe anyone in my life.

I can finally repay my life today.

I can rest in peace now.

You

rode and dashed two times.

One trip costs three mace of silver,

including the interest...

If you're not a bastard,

you shall repay me.

What do you want me to do? Just say it.

I want you

to bring this kid

to Five Lakes Alliance's

Zhao Jing safely.

Uncle Li!

No, I'm not leaving!

Silly kid!

You're a good kid.

But your father has taught you

too well.

In the future...

Tuberculosis, what's your name?

I'm

Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu?

Alright.

Silly kid, show your respect!

In the future, you must listen to him.

Hurry up!

Uncle Zhou.

Good.

Zhou Xu, he has paid his respect.

You must be loyal to him.

I'll...

I'll remember your name.

God will be watching you.

If you break your promise,

I'll curse your ancestors

even if I'm in the Netherworld!

Uncle Li!

Uncle Li!

Uncle Li!

Uncle Li!

Uncle Li!

Uncle!

I promise you.

Call the boatman here!

Yes!

[Yue]

What's wrong?

What are you waiting for? Prepare the boats!

Senior, this boat is gouged.

[Disciple of Yueyang Sect, Deng Kuan] Senior, this too!

Senior, this too!

Senior!

The boatman is dead. His whole family is killed.

Do you know his name?

I only know his surname, Li.

Brother Li.

You have a good sense.

You entrusted the kid to Brother Zhou.

Brother Zhou looks firm.

Seems like he's a loyal man.

You may rest in peace.

Thank you...

Wen. Wen Ke Xing.

You're Zhou Xu. Which character is Xu?

The one inside Liu Xu*. (* Lit.: Catkins)

What a good name.

A courteous man, flies like catkins.

[Here rests Uncle Li]

What's wrong?

Uncle Zhou, I'm fine.

I just felt dizzy suddenly.

Excuse me, Master.

Stop trying to be tough.

You're exhausted.

You need to rest.

No, Uncle Zhou. I can travel.

It's alright to rest for one night.

Xiang!

Set up the fire and make some food.

That's needless to say.

They're all done. Come in!

Brother Zhou. Master Zhang.

Please.

Master!

Master!

Brother.

Master, you shall eat first.

I will serve him, alright?

Beggar.

Although you're good at martial arts,

you're timid.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid that I'll poison you?

Return it to me if you're not eating. I'm still hungry...

Brother, if you don't trust her, you can have this.

I'm not hungry.

This...

You're being so alert to us.

But you were bluffed by that guy

just for three mace of silver.

You promised to take care of him

without knowing who he is.

Girl, what do you know?

An ordinary traveler obeyed his principle and kept his promise.

He traveled a long journey without a fear of death.

Zhou, your action

shows that you're a gentleman.

What do you mean?

Master, stop acting literate.

I have a headache whenever you act literate.

This is written in a historical record

by Sima Qian.

It means,

"Even if he's an ordinary man,

once he made a promise, he would fulfill it.

Because of that, he would travel a long way without worrying about his life.

That is called a ranger."

My father taught me this.

Uncle Zhou, I...

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

What's wrong?

You don't like that bread?

Here's a bun. Catch it!

I'm not eating your food.

Enough, Young Master.

I saved your life.

Why don't you die and

return me your life?

Girl, stop it.

Your words are hurtful. Beware that you can't get married.

Indeed, people nowadays can't distinguish between good and evil.

I saved his life just now.

I only scolded him slightly,

but he dislikes me.

Why didn't you fight your enemies instead?

Coward!

Miss Gu, you're right.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Thank you for saving my life, Miss.

I didn't ask you to kneel.

Enough, stand up.

Brother Zhou.

Did you disguise yourself?

Young Master Zhang.

My name is Zhang Cheng Ling.

Chevalier, you may call me Cheng Ling.

Don't you call me Chevalier.

I hate chevaliers.

Master.

Previously, this guy kept talking about being righteous

and helping others,

as if he was telling stories.

I thought that he's capable to do them.

It turns out that he was just bluffing.

When there's a fight,

he would only run away

and cry.

I think that you can only act out

the manner of a righteous man in the theater.

You...

Me? What's wrong?

A man should never quarrel with others.

You're a man who can't even hold a sword properly.

Xiang.

I haven't thanked you, kind lady.

You've helped us at the crucial moment.

Stop calling me a kind lady.

You're giving me goosebumps.

My name is Gu Xiang.

We are indeed fated.

We met at the right time.

We met at the wrong time too.

Your fate is granted by God.

Aren't you and Little Young Master Zhang

fated too?

Young Master Zhang, you're injured?

I... I'm fine.

Thanks for your concern, Master Wen.

You shall be treated early if you're injured.

I've learned some medical skills from my family.

If you don't mind, I can...

It's alright, I'm fine.

He said that he's fine.

Stop hiding his injury and refusing my treatment, Brother Zhou.

I won't be the one to blame

if he dies from the worsened injury,

but your ancestors in the netherworld would...

Master Wen, if you have a bad intention,

why don't you make it clear?

You don't have to act.

If you're not our enemy, stop forcing him.

Alright.
