EPISODE 5

Son!

Dad, why weren't you there when I went back?

After I healed, I looked for you.

But I saw you with them.

I couldn't show myself because I despise them!

Dad, why do you despise them?

Do you have grudges against them?

Of course there are grudges!

Really big grudges!

That grudge is...

Grudge...

- Dad! Dad! - I can't remember!

My head hurts! I can't remember!

Sit down.

Then don't try to remember.

Don't think anymore, don't think.

Dad, why'd you get on the boat?

Son.

It was for you.

Because I had injuries, I had to leave.

It was my fault.

You were poisoned. These people can't save you.

I only have you, my good son.

Even if I die, I must save you!

- Dad! - Son! Good son.

Dad is sorry.

Son.

Your poison isn't purged. We must hurry.

Right, remember what I taught you?

- I remember. - Good.

Sister Fu, are you okay?

What if I get ginger tea to warm you?

You two are so worthless.

You can't compare to Yang Guo's little finger!

Luckily I got it back.

You little thief!

You couldn't buy it, so you stole it!

We didn't steal it.

You're caught in the act.

- Men, grab them. Deal with them! - Yes!

Ai!

You kids dare to steal!

Dad! Mom! You kids dare to steal!

Dad! Mom!

- Let go! - What's going on?

Your daughter was caught stealing my pearl.

I didn't steal it. Yang Guo gave it to me.

Guo'er?

Guo'er! Guo'er!

Uncle Guo.

Aunt Guo.

Why'd you give Fu'er a stolen Night Glow pearl?

Thieving is the lowest act in the Jianghu.

It's fine to play, but have a boundary!

What Night Glow pearl? I don't know.

You gave it to me. These two witnessed it.

How can you deny it?

What? I really don't know.

My poison flared and I was in bed.

How could I steal some pearl?

You're lying!

You're really bad!

You guys stop blaming me.

I know you three don't like me.

I didn't want to go to the Isle; Uncle and Aunt Guo insisted.

I'm not wicked like you three.

I think you three stole it and tried to swim to shore, but

found it too far, and swam back.

That's why you're all wet.

Yang Guo!

- Fu'er! - You framed me! I'll kill you! - Fu'er!

Guo'er!

- Come here! - Guo'er, how are you?

Didn't you take a 9-Flower Jade Dew Pill?

9-Flower Jade Dew Pill?

He doesn't deserve our medicine!

- Let him die! - Fu'er!

- Fu'er! - Sister Fu!

Look how you raised her!

Jing, don't fret. I'll take his pulse.

His pulse is calmer, and his poison reduced.

How could this be?

Here.

What medicine did you give him?

Another type of medicine.

Jing, let's go. Let Guo'er rest.

Rong'er, what medicine did you give Guo'er?

Just a laxative pill.

Are you crazy?

Guo'er is in pain. You gave him a laxative?

Jing, isn't it too much coincidence?

First, we know Fu'er's character.

How could she steal?

Second,

without 9-Flower Jade Dew Pills,

how'd his symptoms lessen?

That's suspicious.

And he's fully dressed in bed

so he went to bed recently.

What you mean is...

You have special hopes for him

so I won't judge rashly.

But I'll get you proof.

He needs guidance while young

or he might be like his father.

Maybe my hopes are too high.

You're tired from treating Guo'er.

Go in and rest.

We'll talk about it tonight.

Okay.

My gut's cramping. Maybe it's the poison

or I practised kungfu wrongly.

Oh, it's almost time to meet Foster-Dad.

I should see him first.

It's not early. Go and sleep.

Okay, we'll chat tomorrow.

My kungfu practice wasn't wrong. Why's my gut hurt?

The pill Aunt Guo gave me...could it...?

Sailor brother.

Your sword is so bright. May I look at it?

Kids must be careful. Don't cut yourself.

Give it back when you're done.

Aunt Guo is spying.

She's looking for Dad. What do I do?

Aunt Guo! Why are you hiding there?

Teach me to wield the sword?

When I wield it, my pain is gone.

Come on!

Guo'er!

Son! Dad's here! Don't fear!

It is you, Old Venom!

Old Venom?

Who's Old Venom?

Old Venom!

Who's Old Venom?!

You don't know? Why fight? Just admit defeat!

Old Venom!

- Teacher! - That again?!

Who's Old Venom?

Take this!

Oh no! Dad's at a disadvantage!

What do I do?

Old Venom!

I'll kill you, bad man!

Stinky rascal!

You let him go on purpose!

I... I didn't!

Why are you outside so late?

I felt unwell, so I got fresh air.

What rot.

Teacher, Guo'er didn't mean to.

He cut Old Venom with a sword.

They planned it together.

How could he get near Old Venom unless Old Venom let him?

- That...that was because... - Enough.

I won't waste words on you.

I knew you'd believe him.

But if this brat ends up dying horribly like his father,

don't say I didn't warn you!

Teacher!

Uncle Guo.

What happened to my father?

Did his death involve you?

Don't talk rashly.

I didn't speak rashly.

Why's Grandpa malign my father and suspect me?

That's because...

Why'd you all distrust me, despise me, and yet take me to the island?

Isn't this all useless?

Guo'er.

Jing, let me talk to him.

No need. I'll go.

Guo'er!

Guo'er.

I know you feel wronged.

But do you trust your mom?

Of course I trust Mom!

Would she send you to someone who dislikes you?

What kind of man was my dad?

He...

He was a very good man.

Then why's Grandpa maligning him?

It's because he did one thing wrong.

It's my fault for not keeping an eye on him.

Guo'er.

I won't let another wrong occur.

I must raise you to be a man your parents can be proud of.

Trust me.

Go to sleep.

We get to Peach Blossom Isle tomorrow.

What did my father do wrong?

You're still young.

I'll tell you when you're grown.

Why won't anyone tell me about Father?

But Uncle Guo treats me sincerely.

That's good. Let's check the stern.

Jing!

Rong'er.

How was the talk with Guo'er? Did you explain about his dad?

No, I said I'll tell him when he's grown.

That's also good.

Rong'er, I beg you for one thing.

We're married, no need to beg.

Tell me.

My father and Guo'er's grandfather had a pact.

If they had a girl each or boy each, they'd be sworn siblings.

If one girl and one boy, they'd marry.

Earlier, I wronged Brother Kang.

I felt very guilty.

So, Rong'er..

- I want... - No! I can't promise.

- This... - Yang Guo is rebellious. We don't know his future character.

How can I betroth Fu'er to him?

He's smart. He'll make a name for himself.

Being too smart might lead him to err.

How can that be if we care for him?

Alright, Jing.

The children are too young for us to discuss this.

If Guo'er chooses a righteous path, we can betroth Fu'er to him.

It's windy. Let's go in.

Sister Fu. Are your parents crazy to marry you to that brat?

How about we push him to leave?

You want to make him leave?

Are you guys as smart as him?

Can you make him leave?

Dad likes him so much.

Before he's made to leave, you two would be forced to leave!

What do we do? Will you marry him?

- Right. - I won't.

He assaulted me.

He'll get it on Peach Blossom Isle.

- Sister Fu! - Sister Fu!

DunRu, XiuWen, Guo'er.

This is your home. Be like a family. Understand?

Yes!

Yes.

Teacher. Yes.

Teacher.

I ask for permission to accept Guo'er, DunRu, XiuWen and Fu'er as disciples.

Good, good, good!

I, Seventh Freak of Jiangnan, have 4 more grand-disciples today!

If the 6 other Teachers know in Heaven, they'd be very happy!

Bow to Grand Teacher Grandpa.

- Dad, me too? - Of course.

You must follow sect rules.

Yes, I understand.

Bow to Grandpa.

Oh, good, good...Get up, get up.

You are now sect Brothers and Sister.

Love and respect each other,

share blessings and burdens,

never do harm. Understand?

Yes, Teacher!

My kungfu stems from Jiangnan 7 Freaks,

Quanzhen Sect neigong,

our Isle Sect and Beggar Clan. We mustn't forget our roots.

I'll start with Grandpa's kungfu.

Blind Grandpa's kungfu isn't great.

What's the use of learning it?

Though my hands didn't kill his dad,

he died because of me.

We may create a monster.

Jing.

It's too much work to teach four.

How about I teach Guo'er?

Good idea.

You two compete to see who teaches better.

Mom, you teach me.

You'd only play all day. How'd you learn good kungfu?

Dad should teach you. Be good, go.

- Come. - Dad.

Jing, what do you think?

It's good you'll teach.

Let's set some rules.

You can't teach Guo'er.

I can't teach those three.

To avoid mixing styles, the four can't teach each other,

Okay. It's agreed.

Guo'er, follow me.

Okay. Let's start the lesson.

- Yes! - Yes, Teacher!

Uncle Guo had 7 Teachers, the Jiangnan Seven Freaks.

First Teacher is Grandpa Ke.

Second Teacher is Swift Hand Scholar, Zhu Cong.

Today I'll teach Zhu's skills.

Open the top book.

"Learning with application is pleasant. Having friends everywhere is delightful."

What is all this?

These are human moral principles.

Why aren't you teaching me kungfu? Why only principles?

If you don't learn moral principles,

great kungfu won't make you a worthy man.

You'll have a bad ending.

You're talking about my father?

How'd my father die?

How'd I know how he died?

I'm just giving you lessons to study.

If you don't study well,

you know what I can do, right?

Okay, I'll study. I'll study.

"When practising what you learned, can you change?"

"If you have friends from all corners, is it extreme?"

- "After you study..." -Why do they react like that when Father is mentioned?

Did they murder my father?

- Okay. - But that makes no sense.

If they murdered my father, why'd Mom want me to live with them?

But Aunt Guo won't teach me kungfu. She isn't good to me.

I'll secretly practise Foster-Dad's kungfu.

"When practising what you learned..."

This pile is me.

This pile is Teacher and Madam Teacher.

And this pile is Sister, Big Wu and Small Wu.

Oh, I finally finished it!

Am I over-vigilant?

Yang Kang is Yang Kang. Yang Guo is Yang Guo.

They're not the same.

He's having fun playing. He's just a child.

If I don't put on this act, how will you let your guard down?

Come on.

Run!

Help!

Hurry! Run! Run!

"Learning with application and perseverance is pleasant."

Aim at him. Be careful.

"Having friends from all corners is delightful..."

Run! Hurry Run!

Guo'er, what are you doing?

It's...it's not me.

If not you, then who?

- What happened? - What's this?

- Let us go! - How'd this happen?

- Yang Guo! - Let us out!

How'd this happen?

Madam Teacher, don't misunderstand.

I set this net to catch wolves.

I think wolves are roaming the Isle.

I didn't think I'd trap you. I'm so sorry.

Oh, really, let me loosen it.

Madam Teacher.

A sling.

- Madam Teacher, it's a sling. - Why'd you let him see it?

Yeah! Didn't I tell you to hide it?

I'll get a big fish for sure.

Me too! Me too!

Got it! Got it!

You got water weeds!

Why are you laughing?

Why don't you try?

Why are you shushing?

A very big fish!

What's great? You were lucky!

Yeah, you see a lot of fish in that spot.

Oh, you two were incapable but still disparage him.

- I... - You shame our home.

Yang Guo, you're amazing.

Would you give me this fish?

Let's ask the fish that.

Hey, want to go with this ugly girl?

Hey, what's the matter? Don't run! Hey!

Yang Guo!

Caught water weeds!

The Wu brothers have great skills

to catch water weeds!

Practising Dad's kungfu made my body feel better.

One, strike firmly.

Two! Use strength!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Okay, XiuWen, lead the practice.

Yes.

One!

Two!

Three!

Who?

Who's there?

I wondered who it was.

So it was Yang Guo.

You laughed at us. So your kungfu's not bad, huh?

How about a duel?

Madam Teacher only taught me literature,

but no kungfu.

What a lame excuse.

I think you're just afraid.

Yeah, you're good at blaming us, but won't fight.

What's that called?

Coward!

Don't force me!

Let him go!

Good!

Hit him!

He's biting! He bit me, XiuWen! Hit him!

He's biting! He bit me, XiuWen!

Let go!

Yang Guo.

You're so full of hot air.

You don't dare, huh?

Showoff!

You can't move, huh?

Why are you laughing?

Are you crazy?

How can Hero Guo's daughter sneak-attack?

How will Jianghu react if they hear of this?

- Sister Fu! - Sister Fu!

Ignore him.

Sister Fu...

Guo Fu!

No, Guo-Sneak-Attack. Trying to shut me up?

You forced me.

Don't blame me. Grab him.

Where are you taking me?

- What are you doing? - Why are you shouting?

- Quiet! - Help! - Why are you shouting?

Let me tell you.

What are you doing to me?

Let go!

Shut up!

Don't obey Guo-Sneak-Attack!

- Walk faster! - Let go!

Yang Guo, if you make a vow, I'll let you go.

And when you grow up, you can't marry Sister Fu.

No-no! Who said I'll marry her?

Teacher said it.

I thought Teacher was good to me!

It was all a scam!

Why?

Think about it.

His daughter does sneak attacks. Isn't it harming me?

I need to die! I need to die.

No vow! Throw him in!

So scary! So scary!

Do you dare, Guo-Sneak-Attack? I'll think differently of you.

- C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. - You forced me! Push him in!

- Go! - Uncle Guo, come here!

I beg you! I can't swim!

Sister Fu, when do we pull him up?

Wait a while.

Let him drink sea water.

Here.

Small Wu, let's play.

We'll be over here.

Will I really die this way?

Sister Fu, look.

Here.

I think this rascal drank enough.

Pull him up?

Why are you concerned?

I can stay under water an hour.

But he may not be as skilled.

What if...if Teacher gets upset.

It's no big deal for us

but if you suffer, it's no good.

Alright, alright!

No wonder Yang Guo scorns you.

- Big Wu. Pull him up. - Sure.

He's gone!

What happened?

Yang Guo!

What happened?

Did fish eat him?

What if he dies?

It's not my fault! It was Big Wu's idea!

Calm down! Calm down!

Nobody else knows.

We'll act normally.

Pretend nothing happened.

Good idea!

Where is Guo'er?

He was tired after study.

I let him go for a walk.

Maybe he forgot the time.

I'll save him some food.

Oh, that's good.

Mom, I'm full. I'm going.

We're full too.

Wait a minute.

Usually you eat 3 bowls of rice.

Why'd you eat so little?

Did something happen?

No, no, no, no.

Big Wu, Small Wu, you two speak.

Madam Teacher, my stomach hurts.

I...I want to practise kungfu.

Lies!

Is this about Guo'er not being at dinner?

How could it? We don't talk to him.

I remember.

He wants to leave the island.

Maybe he's out at sea.

How can this be!

Jing, don't listen to them.

Guo'er can't row a boat.

Relax and eat.

We'll look for him later.

You should set a limit.

Stop picking on him

or you'll get the stick. Hear me?

Yes.

- Go. - Yes.

I've eaten enough too.

Teacher, be careful.

Rong'er, Guo'er isn't back.

Is it to do with those three?

No.

It's common for kids to fight and play tricks.

It won't be foul play.

Eat before it gets cold.

Here.

Yang Guo.

We didn't mean to harm you.

Don't blame me.

It's your fault.

If you'd begged my forgiveness, it wouldn't have happened.

Now no-one has peace.

You're really a walking disaster!

Who?

Who's pretending to be a ghost?

Who's there?

Is it the Wu's playing a joke?

I tell you, I don't fear ghosts!

You don't know who I am?

I died horribly.

Who?

Fu'er.

Fu'er?

Fu'er!

- No! I didn't mean to! - What's wrong?

- Don't come! Don't come! - Fu'er!

What did you do to Guo'er?

What's going on?

Tell me!

He was so arrogant,

we taught him a lesson.

We tied him up and pushed him in the sea.

What?

The vine broke and he's gone.

No wonder we couldn't find him.

How could you do such a thing?

How do I to face his parents?

- You! - Jing.

We haven't heard the full story.

Don't be rash.

We only have one daughter.

If you harm her, I won't forgive you.

But, Rong'er, that's a human life.

You don't know Guo'er came to harm.

This...

No, I'll search again.

You better hope Guo'er is alive

or I won't forgive you.

Tell Big Wu and Small Wu to kneel in the courtyard!

Mom.

Really! How could you do this?

Go and kneel. Don't upset your dad.

Get up. Hurry and get up.

- Get up. - Grandpa.

Don't let her rise.

Make her kneel.

The ground is chilly.

The child's still young.

She's still young?

What about Guo'er?

He survived hardships and these kids killed him.

Yang Guo started it!

We just taught him a lesson.

Dad, you don't love me! I don't want you!

Fu'er.

You won't see reason.

Okay.

I'll send you to Guo'er's parents to apologise!

- Grandpa! - Jing, you can't! - Move!

You have a hero's rules

but I must protect my daughter.

You!

Enough, enough, enough!

You two stop arguing

around a child! What manners are these?

But she just...

- What's going on? - Guo'er!

Guo'er, are you okay?

I'm okay.

How did these three pick on you?

They didn't pick on me.

We were only playing.

Only playing?

Hero Guo! Hear that?

They were only playing!

If you'd killed Fu'er,

I'd never give you peace!

Rong'er..

I won't talk to you!

Wu boys, let's go!

Rong'er.

Rong'er!

Grandpa, what are you doing?

I want to smell how much oil you splashed on yourself.

With you around, why's there no peace?

Teacher! Teacher!

It's not Guo'er's doing. He was a victim.

Jing, your kungfu surpassed mine.

But your brain isn't as good as mine.

And your eyes don't see as well as mine.

I'm on Rong'er's side.

Teacher.

I'm sorry, Teacher.

I caused trouble for you.

It's okay. I don't fear trouble.

I fear Madam Teacher won't talk to me for a while.

I'll think of a way.

You have an idea?

Why didn't you go to the woods to play?

I made trouble, so I don't dare.

You don't dare some things?

I thought you dared anything.

I learned moral principles with you.

I thought you won't teach me anymore.

I didn't think you'd come.

I'm very happy.

I came to thank you.

Thank me?

I guessed what Fu'er and the Wu boys did.

I thought you'd tell on them,

not lie for them.

Under your roof, I must lower my head.

You and Grandpa don't like me.

If I let Sister Fu got punished,

won't it make trouble for me?

You're getting smarter.

But...

don't be trapped by your smartness.

Yes, I'll heed your teaching.

I'll teach you new literature.

Do you know what today is?

What day?

Double-7 Day! (Valentine's)

So what?

I was asked by someone

to invite you to the lake to float a lantern.

Your idea?

Only he is good to me here.

I can't not help him.

If you memorize this new book,

I'll consider it.

No problem!

Madam Teacher...

No problem.

I just checked if you secretly learned Jing'er's kungfu.

I'm surprised you kept the rules.

Study the book well.

Rong'er!

Are you still mad at me?

I can't stay mad on this day.

Guo'er had a good idea.

I married an unromantic man. Guo'er had a good idea.

I married an unromantic man.

I never expected this sentiment.

I didn't come for this.

Then because?

I want to prove one thing.

One thing?

Why'd you tie me with a vine?

Jing, try.

Can you break this vine?

Rong'er, what did that prove?

If you're unable to break the vine, can you escape?

Of course not!

That's right.

Your kungfu can, but not Guo'er.

How'd he break that vine?

Someone helped him.

Who was it?

You're saying...

You have someone in mind. I do too.

But it's hard to face.

When Guo'er finishes study, he likes to be alone.

I've been thinking about it.

He doesn't play a lot but wants to be alone.

Isn't that weird?

And today he tried too hard to get on my good side.

Aren't you over-thinking?

No.

You're unaware of one thing.

Guo'er's poison has all gone.

What?

I read his pulse. There's no sign of poison.

I told him I was checking if he secretly learned your kungfu.

Other than that man and my dad,

who has this ability?

Then why'd you agree to this Double-7 idea?

"Enter a tiger's lair to get the cub".

How else will they let their guard down?

I asked Teacher to tail him.

It's a good opportunity.

Dad.

Son. Son.

You're back, son.

I worried about you.

Did they find out about you?

- They didn't. I eluded them! - Good!

Good child, so smart. You're really my good boy.

Oh yes, did you forget my Toad Stance?

- I didn't. - Good! Show me.

- Hurry. - Okay.

Good.

Old Venom!

Son, go away.

I'll handle this old geezer!

Guo'er, where are you going?

Why are you with Old Venom?

How can you sneak around?

Jing, save Teacher!

Uncle Guo, don't hit Foster-Dad. He's a good man.

How can an enemy be your dad?

Today we must take him down!

Rong'er! Why are you still here?

You needn't heed moral standards to deal with these people!

Leave the kid to me. Finish Old Venom!

Yes, Teacher.

Son! I'm injured and can't win!

I'll rescue you after I heal!

The old one ran away.

Where's Old Venom's hideout?

Tell me or I'll strike you dead.

Go on. Foster-Dad is a good person.

You're the bad person! Let me go!

Let you go?

Guo'er, understand what I just said?

I understand.

Then you know how bad Ouyang Feng is.

His past wrongs don't matter.

If he treats me nicely, he's a good person in my eyes.

Guo'er, can't you differentiate good and evil?

How can you honour your parents?

Foster-Dad saved my life a few times.

Do you want me to repay him with ingratitude?

I didn't mean that. I... Why don't you get it?

Teacher.

I know what you two mean.

But a good or bad person

isn't determined by your words. It depends on how I feel.

You...

I respect you and Foster-Dad.

If Foster-Dad ever tells me to reject you,

I wouldn't agree.

Gou'er, I meant...

Jing. He needs time to learn.

Let Guo'er think it over.

Let's go and rest.

- Dad! Mom! It's bad! - What's wrong?

Grandpa's leaving the Island.

What?

- Teacher! - Teacher!

Teacher!

- Teacher! - You can't go!

- Teacher! - Teacher!

Why are you going to JiaXing?

- Grandpa. - Leave me alone!

I have to leave!

Teacher, why are you going? Jing and I will resolve it.

That's right, Teacher.

Grandpa, don't go!

Stop wasting your efforts.

Yang Guo is Old Venom's disciple.

I can't be with him!

Teacher. Guo'er is wrong but...

Jing'er! Don't excuse Yang Guo!

- I... - Why don't you think about

how your five Teachers died?!

I can't get revenge against my enemy

and must live with his foster-son!

How can I face my five dead brethren?

- Teacher! - Grandpa!

Teacher, Peach Blossom Isle is your home.

It's not you who should leave.

Rong'er, Guo'er is alone.

How can he leave here alone?

Jing, I understand your feelings.

You can't wrong Sister Mu and Brother Yang.

Then you...

But think for Guo'er too.

If you make him stay where he's unsuited,

that's bad for him.

But...

I thought of a compromise.

Teacher needn't leave, and Guo'er will be settled.

Really?

Guo'er, let the past go. Don't brood, okay?

Because you disrespected Grandpa,

I can't keep you in our sect.

So just call me Uncle Guo.

Yes, Uncle Guo.

I mismanaged the situation.

I thought about it.

Making you stay will harm you.

I'll send you to Chongyang Palace at Mount Zhongnan

and ask Taoist ChangChun (Qiu) to take you as his disciple.

His Quanzhen Sect is orthodox.

If you control your temper and practise kungfu diligently,

you'll make a name for yourself as a great hero.

I fear I might disappoint your expectations.

Guo'er, do you do feel I don't treat you well?

I won't dare. My heart knows how well you treat me.

But other people are...

Aunt Guo does treat you well.

Don't believe?

Look.

Guo'er.

Aunt Guo.

Fu'er, you have something for Guo'er?

Go.

Yang Guo, I make these snacks

as my apology to you.

- Jing. - Rong'er.

Be careful on the journey.

Don't worry.

I put poison in it. See if you eat it.

Thank you, Sister Fu.

But there's food on the boat.

We can't take this with us.

How about we share it now?

- Aunt Guo. - Yang Guo!

Uncle Guo.

Yang Guo! You!

Sister Fu.

Uncle Guo, it's getting late.

Shall we get on the boat?

Okay.

Oh right, Fu'er.

You must listen to Grandpa and Mom.

Don't do as you please, understand?

We're leaving. Don't do as you please, understand?

We're leaving.

Let's go.

Well? You don't want Guo'er to leave?

Who'd miss him? Arrogant,

like the whole world owes him.

The Wu boys are more interesting.

That's only if they're good to our Miss.

Mom.

When Yang Guo doesn't quarrel with me, he's quite lovable.

What did you say?

Nothing. I just said we got rid of that rascal. What did you say?

Nothing. I just said we got rid of that rascal.

Junior brother Zhen, let's spar!

Senior brother Zhao, please.

Begin the duel!

This music sounds nice.

Isn't this played by the young Ancient Tomb girl?

That's right, it's her.

Great, Teacher! Superb control.

You proved yourself Quanzhen's most advanced student.

Are you sure?

Do you acknowledge it now, Brother Zhen?

Zhao ZhiJing, I acknowledge it.

Leader.

I want to announce

ZhiJing and ZhiBing's duel is inconclusive.

Duel another day.

Why, Leader?

ZhiBing usually outshines you.

If he was focused today,

you wouldn't be his match.

But how can't you be focused in duels?

You are right.

But your impatience and hunger to win revealed your flaws.

If ZhiBing hasn't been distracted by music today,

you'd have been trounced.

Our Quanzhen kungfu focuses on gentle calm overcoming strength.

You fought angrily,

violating one of our taboos.

ZhiBing.

At the height of battle, you lost focus because of music.

Your concentration is weak and needs more work.

If this were a real duel, you could've died.

ZhiJing, after you won, you kicked him to the ground.

Your actions were ruthless and unchivalrous.

You're unsuited to learning advanced kungfu.

Go to your room and reflect.

Leader, Leader!

He's biased!

He's biased!

ZhiJing, what's wrong?

Wasn't my music good enough?

None of your business!

Sorry.

You did more than enough.

You waited outside Ancient Tomb every day to hear that girl's music.

Your music sounded like hers.

You were certainly good enough.

I hate that horrid Leader!

He favours Zhen ZhiBing. I clearly won.

He won't pass me his kungfu.

He's untrustworthy.

How'd he get a name in the Wulin!

Then why don't we give up?

Forget your Leader and living on a sword edge.

Let's find a safe place and live simply.

No!

Xiao Cui! I've borne it for years!

I worked hard to be a Quanzhen top student.

People finally admire me. I'm not a Master yet!

How can I give up?

If you become a Master, would you be happier?

Of course.

If I'm a Master, I can have profound kungfu and power.

And...

we'll have a better life. Trust me.

The price we must pay is too great.

So you won't help me?

How can I still help you?

You said Leader favours Zhen ZhiBing.

He won't give you a chance. What can you do?

If they don't cross me, I won't cross them.

If they cross me, I'll cross them!

Since I can't win anyway,

I'll make myself top in Quanzhen.

You mean...

Get rid of him.

Our kungfu is below his, even if we pair up.

You don't know Zhen ZhiBing.

That guy's weakness is lust.

Ever since he fell in love with that Ancient Tomb girl,

his distraction is obvious. When a person weakens,

he won't be vigilant.

You thought it through?

Xiao Cui, I still need your help.

Okay?

'In these days since I saw you,'

'the clouds are not pleasant.'

Who's there?!

'Since I saw such a man, why am I not pleased?'

Miss Long?

Help me!

Save me!

Taoist Zhen, save me! I'll drown!

Help me!

Help me!

Miss Long!

Let's see if you die.

Since Miss Long's not at risk, I'm at ease.

I'll die soon.

Can I tell you my heart?

I like you, Miss Long! I want to be with you!

In my next life, if I become a butterfly,

I will always be by your side.

Miss Long, you must be happy.

You must be at peace!

Miss Long, did you hear me?!

You're sure infatuated with her.

Thanks for your help.

Is Xiao Long Nu that good?

It's my business liking her, not yours.

Don't ruin her pure reputation.

Life is short. If you like you, tell her.

If you don't dare tell her, I'll do it for you.

How about it?

Li Mochou!

You always opposed Miss Long.

We're not on the same path. Goodbye.

You misjudged me. I'm her Senior.

I acted for her good.

She didn't understand.

Will you aid me to help her

to be happier?

Humans are always like this.

Truth hurts the ears.

People aren't willing to listen.

Do you know of Jade Maiden Heart Manual?

It's Ancient Tomb's highest kungfu.

It produces cold-heartedness.

Practitioners restrict emotions.

And they must be virgins to practise.

If a 17 old year old has this kungfu,

isn't it a bit cruel?

She can't feel happy like that.

So am I right to stop her

from being like that?

Yes.

Will you help that pitiful girl

and save her.

I'm willing. For her sake,

I'll bear hardship.

Tell me how to help her.

You'll know at the time.

You won't suffer by doing this.

You might even get the woman.

There are many traps.

They change every day.

If you enter a death trap, you die immediately.

Are you afraid?

For Miss Long's sake, I'm not afraid.

Okay, go in first.

Okay.

I can't go in first.

If I enter a death trap,

we can't save my Junior.

Forget it. Go and think it over.

Miss Li.

No. There's no time to waste.

Why don't I go first?

But what if...

If I die,

it's worth Miss Long's happiness.

When the time comes, please help her.

I'm happy I met you because of Sister.

Go in then. You must be careful.
