Legend of Fei

Episode 6

So it's been wrong since the very beginning.

It's wrong.

"Hardship in hometown again."

"Hardship...

...in hometown again."

The song that I've been singing...

...was entirely wrong.

What is going on?

Has he gone insane?

"Hardship in hometown again."

Leave him be. Let's go.

Go.

"Hardship in hometown again!"

I've severely injured Mu Xiaoqiao. As for Huo Fort,...

...you may settle it alone.

Remember. Don't alert the enemy. -Noted.

Report to Huarong once there is an update.

Huarong?

See? I'm safe. -Listen to yourself.

How could I answer to Mistress Li if anything happened to you?

All right. We're far. I suppose we're safe.

Brother Chenfei.

Everyone is poisoned. Why don't we rest here...

...and depart tomorrow?

We may reach Huarong, the closest place from here, within a day.

Why don't we stop there and contact our friends and family?

Sure.

A'Fei.

Come with me. We'll talk about you and Li Sheng.

Go.

I didn't ask for your permission.

Don't blame me. It's Li Sheng.

He wanted to leave home as early as six months ago.

He must have planned it for long. Let's see how my mother...

...will defend him once I capture him.

Both of you have been troublemakers since you're young.

I've explained everything. I'll leave the rest to you.

Do you want to shirk your responsibility again?

A'Fei, check on Ms. Wu.

It's been a tough journey.

I'm sure she is upset.

Why don't you talk to her?

Me?

What should I talk about?

You're ladies.

How would I know what to talk about as a man?

Start a topic. Go.

Go.

A'Fei.

What is this? A small wooden saber?

You're too old to play with this.

If you like it, I'll get a real one for you in Huarong tomorrow.

No, thanks.

You can have this.

Me?

What should I do with this?

Well,...

...Brother Chenfei sent me here to talk to you.

By the way, what is your name?

I'm Chuchu.

I'm Zhou Fei. Call me A'Fei will do.

A'Fei.

Where is your brother?

He is resting.

Mr. Li found us a serene place. Please thank him for me.

It's all right.

He's particular about this.

A'Fei, do you know Mr. Xie very well?

I met him once. This is our second meeting.

That's why some old friends don't know each other well,...

...while some new friends seem close.

Are you saying that we're equally bad?

No.

My father put this locket on me.

They said I was unlucky when I was born.

I needed something to repel the bad luck.

I can only remove it when I'm married.

This.....

It's given by someone.

It isn't easy to bring along, yet I can't throw it away.

It's more convenient to wear it like this.

Do you know that the thing worn around a girl's neck...

...is meant for.....

What is it meant for?

Aren't you wearing one?

Mine is different. It's given by my parents.

It's all right. Wear it if you like it.

Brother Chenfei said it's been a tough journey for you.

It's all right. You'll have nothing to fear...

...once you reach my home.

Your home? 48 Strongholds?

How does it look like?

Well,...

...I think it's the best and liveliest place.

I don't know how to describe it. You'll know once you arrive.

What about your family?

My family?

My family.....

My father is sick.

My mother is fierce.

My cousin brother is a troublemaker.

My cousin sister is dumb,...

...but they all have their own strength.

For example, my cousin sister hardly stops once she cries.

Even my domineering mother is as kind as Guanyin to her.

You don't need a lot of people like that.

180 will do.

Wherever there is a fight,...

...peace is restored once they're scattered...

...in both sides.

Can I practise martial arts after arriving at your home?

Then I can protect myself in the future.

I don't think so.

I know you've been practising since you're young.

I figure it's too late for me.

Not at all.

You might not be as skilful as those who practise since young,...

...but at least you'll be stronger than now.

My mother is skilful, but she is usually busy.

Moreover, she is fierce.

You may seek Mrs. Wang.

She is kind and good-tempered. She'll teach you for sure.

She is grandmother of Chenfei, who has been escorting you.

Slow down.

My forecast based on the stars is certainly accurate.

See? We got out successfully.

Your definition of success must be different from ours.

You're so hard to please.

Look. You're living. You're breathing.

Your limbs are intact. You can eat, drink and sit.

You can go anywhere. Isn't it great?

It's not because of you.

What if I had escaped as you had suggested?

It'd still be a wise decision anyway.

Didn't I say this? Something bad will happen in a few days.

Had you left as I had suggested,...

...you wouldn't have encountered Shen Tianshu.

I could've gone to heaven,...

...but...

...it'd be a huge merit if I could...

...stay with the wind, moon and flowers.

I'm less than five feet tall.

I'm definitely not a flower on a tree.

How petty.

The flower is gone,...

...leaving behind a reckless soulmate.

As the saying goes,...

...it's harder to have a soulmate...

...than getting a bucket of gold.

I've gained something unexpected.

A'Fei!

Food is ready!

Sit here.

A'Fei, have some fish.

Wait a second.

Sit here, A'Fei.

Sit here. I'll talk to Brother Xie,...

...all right? Here.

Brother Xie, have some food.

Thank you.

Here, A'Fei. Eat this.

By the way,...

...we had escaped from death...

...as Disha encountered Vermilion Bird.

I wonder if there will be another problem.

You're smart.

In your opinion, who else will encounter danger?

Huo Fort.

That's right. Disha kills whoever they encounter.

I'm sure they aren't hunting down Vermilion Bird for justice.

Grey Wolf wouldn't have made the trip unless it's for Huo Fort.

By the way, Brother Xie,...

...thanks for your help.

You saved me.

I wonder who your master is.

Don't mention it. I'm just a swordsmith.

I got into trouble when I followed my employer to Huo Fort.

Swordsmith?

I'm making a living. I'm new in this.

What did you do last time?

I was...

...a composer and lyricist.

To be honest,...

...I was the one who composed the song played by Vermilion Bird.

The entire song is named Tower of Resentment.

It has nine chapters. Lament Song is one of the chapters.

This was popular back then.

Whether it's a famous performer or a street artist,...

...they've learnt to sing a phrase or two.

How amazing. -That's a sure thing.

Brother Xie.

Tower of Resentment is written by Forever Melancholic, isn't it?

Forever Melancholic is said to be a pretty lady.

You.....

I do look pretty,...

...but I wouldn't call myself a lady.

Someone claim Forever Melancholic is an old man.

"Dust of sound...

...lingers.

Rain of rouge...

...taints the river.

Desolation.

Two rows of tears.

Hardship....."

"Hardship in hometown again."

"Hardship in hometown again."

This is awesome.

Forever Melancholic, I'm surprised to see you in person.

I like you so much. -All right.

I like you. -Brother Chenfei.

How did you know the song?

A'Fei, you have something.

A'Fei?

A'Fei?

What are you doing?

What are you thinking? You're spacing out.

I'm wondering...

...when I can be like my mother...

...and able to fight against...

...Disha and Vermilion Bird.

That day will come. You're a descendant of Southern Saber.

Don't mock me.

My mother became the mistress of 48 Strongholds at my age.

She could fight an army with nine moves of Poxue Skills.

As for me,...

...what can I do?

Everyone has different experiences.

Everyone has different opportunities.

You just left the mountain. You only need an opportunity...

...to be like your mother.

Are you embarrassed by the battle today?

Yes.

I could roam freely around the mountain after leaving it,...

...but what if I'm out of the territory?

I've realised what makes a skilful martial arts fighter...

...after witnessing the fight of Shen Tianshu and Mu Xiaoqiao.

I'm lagging behind in living up to my father's standards.

I think...

...a strong person with freedom...

...isn't about civil or martial achievements.

It's about your heart.

Surely, it is a chaotic world now.

You need to be able to protect yourself...

...before protecting others.

The greater you're as a martial artist, the better.

Why are you...

...like my father?

Master Gan Tang?

Do I have both the literary talent and knowledge?

You're as naggy as him.

All right. It's getting late. Rest early.

Thanks for saving us, guys from 48 Strongholds.

I'll repay you in the future.

You're welcome, Master Qin.

Gentlemen, everything will remain the same.

We'll meet again. Take care.

Take care.

Ms. Zhou, let's talk in private.

What are you trying to do, sir?

I'm Chong Xiaozi from Qimen.

Sorry for what I did.

What was that supposed to mean?

Have you studied before?

Yes, I did,...

...but I've forgotten almost everything.

I can still read though.

I only have one possession left.

You seem to be a fast learner.

I'll give this to you before we part.

Before we part?

Farewell.

Have a safe journey.

Thanks for the book.

What a weird Taoist priest.

He is quite skilful and he is as good as my grandmother.

I don't understand how he's detained in the dungeon with us.

That could be his deliberate move.

Deliberate? -He wanted to know the secrets...

...behind it.

I suppose he is heading to Huo Fort.

Hadn't he gone there? Why is he going there again?

I figure he is worried about Huo Fort.

Many of us were detained by Mu Xiaoqiao due to Huo Fort.

He is capable, but he'll be outnumbered at Huo Fort.

Will he be in danger?

He is a skilful Taoist priest. He knows what he can do.

All right. Let's make no delay.

Keep it well.

Was I so ignorant that he actually gave me a book?

Why did he give me Tao Te Ching?

It's fine to be ignorant so long as you know that.

Shut up.

Ms. Chuchu.

Huarong is right ahead. Why don't we go there to rest?

Let's hit the road. -Sure.

What about you?

I travel everywhere. I have no plan.

I have a good idea.

Brother Xie, why don't you go to Huarong with us?

Sure. Thanks for inviting me,...

...but I wonder if you'll think I'm too noisy, Ms. Zhou.

I'm fine. I've gotten used to it. It doesn't matter if you follow.

A'Fei, you're rude.....

She's just a little girl.

On the way, we may talk about..... -Forever Melancholic.

Yes. How about that?

Bravo!

Bravo!

Thank you.

Bravo! -Pity us.

Give us some food.

"Strange. Why are there so many refugees in the crowd?

Other than the plundering of Huo's disciples,...

...could something have happened nearby?"

Boss. -What would you like to have?

Give me a few pancakes. -Sure.

Here.

Brother Xie. -Thank you.

Ms. Chuchu.

Here.

A'Fei, what is the matter?

I'm thinking if the brat, Li Sheng, has gotten home.

I'll hang him upside down...

...and send him back to 48 Strongholds if I meet him.

Mistress, that's all the update.

I shouldn't have let the two troublemakers leave the mountain.

In fact, you shouldn't worry.

A'Fei and Sheng'er are skilful compared to their peers.

I suppose they're curious as it's their first time...

...leaving the mountain.

Mrs. Wang might've found them by now.

Inform spies around Jingzhou to search for them.

I'll break their legs when they come back.

Noted.

You're...

...overprotected by Mistress Li.

However, the world of martial arts...

...is not as simple as you imagine.

The truth is you've always wanted to surpass A'Fei.

I..... -Tell me.

Would you have run if you're chased by other disciples...

...the other day?

Maybe I haven't reached that level that you've mentioned.

I know my aunt always feels bad about my father's death.

It'd be a lie if I said I didn't blame A'Fei.

However, after I've grown up and known better,...

...I've stopped resenting her deep down inside.

There's no overnight grudge between cousins.

However, I can't stand her...

...making a concession...

...because of my father.

She looks down on me.

She always says that my aunt is partial to me,...

...but my aunt doesn't teach me Poxue Skills, does she?

She'll teach you sooner or later.

You're older than her. Why are you jealous of her?

Moreover, you two will take over 48 Strongholds in the future.

Check this out, brother. Is this nice?

Chuchu. -A'Fei.

What are you looking at? -Everything.

Where is Brother Chenfei? -He is over there.

Let's go. -They are nice.

What would you want? -All of them.

Brother Chenfei, what are you looking at?

I'm glad to see you here. Take a look. Which one looks nicer?

Brother Chenfei, do you plan to give this to a lady?

In fact, I want to give it to my fiancee.

That's good news. Congratulations.

Thank you. -Congratulations, Brother Chenfei.

Stop it. Pick one for me.

You can't tell the difference, can you?

Yes. There's no point asking you.

Why don't you take this?

I think everyone in 48 Strongholds practise martial arts.

This looks moderate,...

...yet exquisite when you take a closer look.

I wonder if your crush will like it.

Let me have a look.

This is good.

Ms. Chuchu does have great taste.

This one, then.

This, too, boss. -Sure.

How much is it? -10 coins in total.

Here. -All right. Hold it.

Thank you.

A'Fei, this is for you.

Don't you like sabers? You may hang this at the hilt.

Don't complain that I'm bad to you.

It depends on your performance.

You shouldn't bully me anymore.

"Huarong Inn"

It's been a long while. How are you lately?

Please come in.

Sister Fei.

Can I be your disciple?

I can teach you every day once we're back at 48 Strongholds.

She is fierce. You will.....

See? She hit me for no reason.

I won't cry.

I'm a man.

Yes, you're a little man.

I've arranged rooms at the second floor.

I'll bring you up to rest. -Sure.

Please come up with me.

Please.

I'll prepare horses and carriages for your trip.

Brother Xie, to be honest,...

...this is a hideout of the stronghold.

They're quite efficient.

Got it. -I think Huarong is not safe.

We should depart as soon as we're ready.

Let me go!

Come on.

Let go of me!

How dare you bully a woman in the public!

A'Fei, don't cause a scene. Leave him to me. I'll chase him out.

Do you know who I am?

We shouldn't offend each other. Calm down.

Why don't we settle it amicably?

Why should I reason with a rogue? I want to teach him a lesson.

Wait! -Stop!

Let him go! -Wait!

Are you an accomplice? -He is Magistrate Zhu's son.

Can he do whatever he wants then? Is there no law?

I'm the law!

You're physically strong and you're quite pretty.

Why don't you release me? We'll talk.

She is pretty. You have a keen eye.

Calm down, both of you.

Calm down.

Are you all right? -Yes.

I'm not close to them.

Sir, you rarely see a beauty, right?

I have a beauty from Wangchun House.

Shall we talk in private?

Let's go.

Plum Tavern. Don't stand me up.

Chase after him! Don't let him escape!

Don't let him escape!

Stop! -Stop him!

Lend it to me. -Stop!

Catch him! -Stop!

Hurry! -Don't let him escape!

There! -Hurry!

Don't run! -Catch him!

Lend it to me.

Catch him now! -Give it to me!

Boss, lend me the umbrella.

Thank you. -Catch him! Hurry!

Chase after him! Hurry!

After him!

Don't run! -There!

Catch him now! Stop! -Out of my way!

Don't run!

Catch him!

Master.

My man informed the magistrate with the superior's token.

There're many refugees in Huarong.

Hence, he allocated this place for you to stay.

Are you satisfied?

"Spring and Autumn Treasure"

Masters, he has also arrived in Huarong.

Qiu Tianjin? -Yes.

He entered with his men...

...right after we arrived in Huarong.

Where are they?

I lost them in Jingzhou.

What brings you here?

Why did you personally come here?

Do I need to report to you?

Don't get me wrong.

I'll definitely do my best to serve you here.

Just tell me what you need,...

...but I'm afraid you might not want me to know.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Everything is on a first come, first served basis.

You may do anything you want in Huarong once I'm done.

It's a relief to hear this.

Tianjin.

You should know your limit.

I've always known my limit.

Let's go.

Master Shen is arrogant only because he is the chief of Disha.

He even came to fight..... -Shut up!

You should spend the time to find the Wu family...

...and the pact instead. -Noted.

Send my order at once.

Tell them to search every house and family.

Could Master Qiu be looking for them, too?

He is targeting Wu Fei's family.

Priority matters.

Whatever. So long as he keeps a low profile...

...and does not end up alerting the enemy, let him be.

Noted.

Plum Tavern.

It's correct.

Where is he?

Beauty.

Are you looking for me?

Why did you tell me to come here?

We're buying wine for sure.

"He doesn't need to pay for the wine?

What did he whisper to the worker?"

How did you buy this?

I bought it with a few songs.

"Brew wine with greengages to treat a soulmate.

Both soulmate and wine are hard to find."

There should be a scenic view to match the beauty and fine wine.

Let's go.

A'Fei, the wine should be appreciated.

You're a good drinker.

Is this the scenic view?

What is bothering you?

I was so stupid back then.

I thought my father would bring me when he left the mountain.

Well, you left the mountain not long after that.

You must have put in much effort to convince your mother.

It's way better than having your father to bring you along.

I didn't expect the world away from the mountain to be like this.

I lamented the huge gap between me...

...and the strong ones only yesterday.

Today, I saw so many homeless refugees...

...as soon as I entered the city.

The world is actually beyond the control of warriors...

...like my father and General Wu Fei.

You perceive it quite well.

Therefore, the world needs young ones...

...like you.

Only today I realised a hero's duty.

Who are you actually?

How are you.....

...related to General Wang Lin?

Why did he trust you so much?

He assigned you,...

...who could only do Qinggong, to enter 48 Strongholds.

I can do more than Qinggong, all right?

I can forge swords and.....

Got it. You can compose songs and dress up a beauty.

That's a sure thing.

"Jade and pearl in flourishing age and songs in chaotic times."

The tougher the world is,...

...the more a composer earns.

As for martial arts, I have no intention to dominate the world.

It's sufficient for now.

So the skills of running away from danger is sufficient to you.

Why isn't it sufficient?

Look. I've survived 48 Strongholds and the dungeon.

It's sufficient.

However,...

...do you think I'll be chased out by your mother if I pass by...

...48 Strongholds with you?

That's unlikely to happen.

I wouldn't have another father for you to kidnap anyway.

She might think I'd take away someone even more precious to her.
