Episode 35

Do you hate me?

Why would I hate you?

Mom...

Please don't think that way.

I miss you very much.

I've been wondering

If you've been well all these years

and whether you were happy

I've let you down....

I forced you on a mission to Guang Ming Peak on my behalf.

I know,

You've been suffering out there this whole time.

No

No one bullied or mistreated me.

Young master...has been protecting my well-being.

I know the other day you had no choice.

You wanted to bring me along with you to reunite with father.

So that our family of three can be together and never be apart again.

Mom...

Master Zhang

Godfather

Wuji!

I'm back!

Godfather!

Godfather

-Are you all right? Are you hurt? -I'm well.

-How about you? -I'm good, I'm good...

That's great!

Madam Han.... Xiao Zhao...

Is everything all right for both of you too?

Third brother

My daughter and I are all right.

Be careful.

How are you?

I'm okay. What about you?

You must rest more, okay? Don't walk about.

I know.

Brother Wuji, drink some water.

[Hello? Dehydrated sick person over here.]

How are you? Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

It has been tough on you.

Third brother.

I feel so guilty and sorry.

In order to snatch the Dragon Saber from you

I have been despicable and done so much wrong.

I even harmed you.

But you still treat me well just like before.

As your sister, I...

I'm not worthy of your kindness.

-Mom! -Please get up.....

You and I go a long way back in Ming Cult

You call me third brother

You are the youngest...

As your elder brother, this is what I should do, isn't it?

Sister has done you wrong....

The past is the past.

Don't dwell on it anymore.

As long as everyone is safe and sound, right?

Mom, Elder Xie.

I think everyone should be hungry now.

Let me go out and look for some food.

I'll go with you. I also need to look for some herbs for Miss Zhao and Zhu Er.

Be careful.

Master

I know you have something to ask me.

Go ahead.

Yes, indeed.

Xiao Zhao, I absolutely trust your character.

I also trust that you've never done anything wrong to me or the Ming Cult.

But your mom ordered you to sneak into Guang Ming Peak.

What was it for?

Yes...I was there to steal the "Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi" manual.

What?!

But...although I've memorized it, I've never betrayed you.

And I haven't disclosed a single bit to my mom. I can swear.

I trust you.

But I deceived you after all.

Don't you hate me?

Although you lied to me, you've told me the truth now.

You are really not angry with me?

I'm not angry anymore but you have to promise me.

In the future, you must not hide anything from me.

I don't dare to do it anymore.

But...

But what?

Don't tell me you're still hiding something from me?

What's that?

This precious gem ring is from Persia.

Young master, you must help keep this secret for me.

I don't want to bring troubles to my mom and get her killed.

Elder Xie

I've removed the fish bones for you.

I will place it here. Eat slowly.

Miss Zhou, you're very kind. Thank you.

You're welcome.

These fruits are very sweet! You must eat more.

I happen to be thirsty too. Thank you.

For you.

Mom, you have to eat something even if you're not hungry, okay?

Lion King and Cult Leader helped us today.

We are forever indebted to them.

When we return to the Mainland.

It will be even more difficult to kill that mastermind to seek revenge for your Father.

Madam Han

Actually, Mr. Yin Ye has passed away for so many years

That mastermind may not be alive anymore.

Why do you insist on seeking revenge?

You haven't lost your loved ones before

How would you know the feeling and torment of losing a loved one?

I know what it feels like.

My parents were framed and forced to commit suicide by others.

But I have never once wish to seek revenge.

Because vengeance will cause one to suffer and be tormented.

Even if I manage to seek revenge successfully

My parents won't come back to life.

Only by letting go of grudges and try to forgive others,

Then you will be at peace with yourself.

Right....

It has been so many years.

I have been thinking about seeking revenge.

I am truly tired.

It is time to let go.

(Singing) "Like a smiling flower"

"Looking at the changes to humankind"

"in the end, losing or winning, does not matter anymore."

"The days and nights are so long"

"wealth and riches don't last"

"Human beings aged, youth does not stay."

"Stop frowning and let go"

Godfather, is this the song of Ming Cult?

Ming Cult originated from Persia

This is a Persian song.

So, do you know how to sing it too?

No, I do not.

Many years ago in Persia, there was a poet.

He wrote this song.

That poet's name was...

E Mo.

In Persia, everyone can sing this song.

Many years ago in Guang Ming Peak,

Madam Han also sang this song.

Elder...

Madam Han is one of the 4 Guardian Kings of Ming Cult.

But her martial arts isn't as highly skilled as you.

When she was fighting with the Persian Envoys

Why didn't she use "Thousand Spiders Poison Palms"?

Looking at the way she treated Miss Yin

She doesn't look like she would spare her enemies' lives at all.

Madam Han is a ravishing beauty.

She cherish her beauty more than her own Life.

She would Never learn the Skills of Thousand Spiders Poison Palms.

Elder, are you sure?

Your judgment of beauty is so unique.

Madam Han, she...

From how Madam Han Looks like now,

Even if she is younger by 40 years

I don't think she is so beautiful as what you described.

You do not know at all.

Madam Han was really a great beauty in the past.

But I'm blind now.

I can't see anything anymore.

"Purple Dress Dragon King" was a great beauty?

Miss Zhao!

Cult Leader Zhang, there is nothing to hide.

Third brother, you may continue with the story.

So that this princess can make her own judgment about me.

That year at Guang Ming Peak...

Ming Cult heroes were all mesmerized by the beauty of Dai Qi Si.

Dai Qi Si?

-Is Madam Han's name? -Correct

Why does it sound so weird?

She is a Persian.

So she has a Persian name.

Don't tell me that Madam Han ruined her looks on purpose just like my teacher Ku Tou Tuo?

Who is Ku Tou Tuo?

Ku Tou Tuo is Ming Cult's Fan Yao, Bright Right Messenger.

He ruined his own looks, left Ming Cult for the Western region, and changed his name to Ku Tou Tuo.

Then he sneaked into Prince Ru Yang's residence to be a spy.

And became Miss Zhao's teacher.

Fan Yao did this partially for Ming Cult.

Another part of the reason was because of Madam Han's rejection.

Elder, please tell us the whole story.

Decades ago, a Central Plains Messenger visited Persia's Ming Cult.

This Messenger married a Persian lady.

They had a daughter.

Unfortunately...he contracted a serious illness.

Before he passed away, he still missed his hometown, the Central Plains.

Persian Sect Leader respected his wish

So he sent his daughter back to Guang Ming Peak.

His Daughter is Dai Qi Si.

Dai Qi Si pays respect to Cult Leader Yang and Mrs. Yang.

Please get up.

Thank you, Cult Leader.

Elder, since Dai Qi Si was so beautiful

Ming Cult members must have liked her very much.

You are right.

Your teacher was one of them.

He fell head over heels in love with her.

I heard that Ku Tou Tuo Fan Yao was also a handsome and dashing man back then.

So aren't both of them perfect match then?

Your teacher encountered love at first sight for Dai Qi Si.

But Dai Qi Si... wasn't interested in him.

I totally agree with Dai Qi Si.

No matter how much the man do for me, if I don't love him, it would be all in vain.

But if he is someone I truly love...

No matter how difficult it is,

I will do whatever I can to be with him.

Dai Qi Si was different from you.

She was cold and aloof to every man.

So, did she make an oath not to get married for a lifetime?

One time she told me personally

"Love is a waste of time and will hinder her from doing what she should do."

There are so many heroes in the Pugilist world who lost themselves and lost everything they had because of love.

So she decided not to get married for life.

Persian ladies have strong personalities.

Just like us Mongolian women, being so firm and decisive.

Elder

Then how did Dai Qi Si get to know her husband Mr Yin Ye?

It is really ironic to mention that...

But maybe it was fate and meant to be.

I had just told third brother that I would not get married for life,

Suddenly a young man appeared at Guang Ming Peak requesting to see Cult Leader Yang.

Who are you? Where did you come from?

Why did you intrude into Guang Ming Peak with a broken sword?

Hold it!

Young man, you intrude into Guang Ming Peak's Ming Cult

What do you want?

I am Han Qian Ye from Snake Island.

I'm here to request a duel with Cult Leader Yang.

Yang Ding Tian...

You had a disagreement with my father back then and broke into a duel.

You used the "Da Jiu Tian Palm" and defeated my father.

Do you still remember that?

Yes, I remember.

He said that he would seek revenge in the future.

And he would send either his son or daughter to look for me.

I agreed to this duel.

My father sent me, his only son here.

I am here today to seek revenge for my father.

A gentlemen will not go back on his words.

I will agree to spar with you.

Good!

Decisive!

You are truly a match for my father.

You promised my late father that you would allow his child to decide on the type of duel.

Please go ahead.

We shall have our duel in the Ice Pool of Guang Ming Peak.

Hold on...

Our Leader is not familiar with water survival skills.

Moreover, it is midwinter now.

if the duel is carried out under such conditions either he will be drowned or frozen to death.

Even if you win the fight, the situation is unfair. You will not win with grace.

This was left behind by my late father.

If Leader Yang breaks his promise,

You don't have to ask your followers to kill me.

I will kill myself with this dagger.

And this scandal will remain unknown to the Pugilist world.

It looks like you really want the life of my leader.

Today I am only requesting for a duel

A gentlemen should never go back on his words.

But I, Yang Xiao, is never a gentlemen.

I will give you one last chance.

Either you leave or I will kill you personally.

Father

He has a good son.

But you have a good daughter too.

Mr. Han seeks revenge for his father.

Then, daughter will accept his duel on father's behalf.

Let the descendants of both families settle this once and for all.

Young Miss, you want to accept the duel on behalf of your father.

It is of course possible.

But on one condition...

If you lose the duel,

Yang Ding Tian has to kowtow in front of my father's dagger.

Three kowtows!

But what if you lose?

You can kill me if you want.

Very well.

Let's have our duel at the Ice Pool now.

Are you all right?

Don't worry.

So, dad lost the duel.

Did Cult Leader Yang punish him?

Actually your father could swim very well.

But mother tricked him.

I requested Leader Yang to let him off as he did this out of filial piety towards his father.

And so Cult Leader Yang agreed to let him off.

Cult Leader Yang even requested Dr. Hu Qing Niu to tend to his injuries.

But that Hu Qing Niu...

Although you won,

that duel in the Ice Pool took a toll on your lungs' health.

which is why you are so sickly every now and then.

So what if I am unwell?

Without that ice pool duel,

I would never have found my true love.

The Ice Pool duel brought the both of us together.

We love each other to the day we die.

Then what happened?

How did you and Mr Yin Ye get married?

Ming Cult Members would surely disagree to the marriage, right?

Greetings to Cult Leader Yang and Mrs. Yang....

Everyone, please get up.

Thank you, Cult Leader.

I feel so ashamed.

If not for Dai Qi Si's help

My reputation would be long gone.

To reward her for her contribution, I hereby announce

Dai Qi Si will be promoted to one of the Ming Cult Heavenly Guardians.

Her title will be "Purple Dress Dragon King".

She, White Brow Eagle King, Golden Hair Lion King as well as Green Wings Bat King, will be the 4 Heavenly Kings of Ming Cult.

Thank you Cult Leader Yang and Madam Yang for your kindness.

Please rise.

Cult Leader.

And Everyone.

Dai Qi Si has performed a great contribution for the Cult.

Her contribution has surpassed those of the other 3 Heavenly Kings.

Hence, I suggest...

She shall be ranked as the Leader of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Does anyone object to my suggestion?

This is great idea!

Purple White Gold Green sounds so much nicer than White Gold Green Purple.

I totally agree.

I am more than willing to be the youngest of the four.

I will address you as Elder Sister from now on.

I am young and inexperience. I don't dare to claim myself as the eldest.

I shall address you as second brother Yin, third brother Xie, and fourth brother Wei.

Very well.

From today onward, the Four Heavenly Kings shall treat one another as siblings.

Last night, Fan You Shi came looking for me

To ask me for a matchmaking favor.

I told him that I have the same idea as him.

I wish to matchmake the both of you.

Today is such a great occasion

I would like to ask Cult Leader Yang to bestow marriage upon the both of you.

What do you think?

I don't have the good fortune to accept Madam Yang's kindness.

I am sorry that I have to respectfully decline.

Because my heart already belongs to another man.

Who is this fortunate man?

What is this all about?

Cult Leader

I wish to marry Mister Han.

Purple Robe Dragon King.

This man tried to make things difficult for our Cult Leader.

He is despicable.

As the leader of the 4 heavenly Kings

How could you marry a scoundrel like him?

You don't want to marry me, you can just reject me.

But...

You must never marry this man!

Dai Qi SI

This scoundrel made things difficult for our Cult and set everyone in panic mode.

You are a Heavenly King of the Cult.

How could you marry him?

Miss Purple Robe

Why don't you reconsider your decision?

How about you marry us, the 5 Wanderers?

It beats marrying him.

Yeah, I agree

Hey there...

Why don't you look in the mirror?

You have a face that is so unpleasant to look at.

Do you really think that you are worthy of a beautiful wife like her?

Can you give her happiness?

Ugly beast!

Shut your mouth!

I only want to Marry Mr Han.

If you insult him again, it's either you die or I die!

Who wants to try dying under my Long Sword?

Please don't talk about killing each other.

We are one family.

Everything can be negotiated.

Cult Leader Yang

I've never loved anyone before.

I only have my eyes for Mr Han.

I'd rather give up my title as the Guardian King.

Please fulfill my wish.

Cult Leader Yang

Dai Qi Si and I are deeply in love with each other.

I hope you don't mind what I did in the past.

Please don't make things difficult for someone who contributed so much for the Sect.

What if Leader insists not to agree to your marriage?

I would rather die than to succumb to this.

Why don't you just kill me?

Dai Qi Si, Han Qian Ye.

I wish you both happiness.

Tonight's dinner

Shall be your wedding celebration.

Thank you, Cult Leader.

Dai Qi Si and Han Qian Ye's marriage was strongly objected by the Cult members.

The Cult Leader personally persuaded everyone to give in.

And the wedding proceeded smoothly.

This should be the way to bravely pursue one's true love!

If you love someone, it is ridiculous that we still have to bother about how others think.

People who bother too much does not deserve to have happiness.

I disagree.

Love is important.

But loyalty to sect and commitments to the country are equally important.

Godfather

Since everyone ultimately agreed to the marriage, why did Dai Qi Si still leave the Cult?

After the wedding, Han Qian Ye wished to join Ming Cult.

But there were objections everywhere.

Cult Leader could not disregard the objections too

But after a few days, Cult Leader and his wife went missing all of a sudden.

Everyone was in panic mode.

Everyone started to suspect that it was the doing of Han Qian Ye.

That he caused the death of Cult Leader and his wife.

Godfather

They shouldn't just assume without absolute proof and evidence.

Indeed. We searched everywhere for them.

Fan Yao suddenly spotted Dai Qi Si coming out of the secret tunnel.

Coming out of the secret tunnel?

Yes.

Only the Cult Leader had access to the secret tunnel.

Fan Yao Interrogated Dai Qi Si.

And asked her whether it was Han Qian Ye who instigated her to kill the Cult Leader and his wife.

Ming Cult has very strict rules and regulations.

Anyone who trespasses the secret tunnel must either commit suicide or break one of their limbs.

Correct. After some discussions among the Cult members,

They decided to lock Dai Qi Si up for 10 years.

-Who knew... -As Cult Leader Yang was gone, no one could do anything to me.

The next day, Han and I escaped from the Cult and left Guang Ming Peak forever.

Madam Han, what were you looking for in the secret tunnel?

Princess.

Your curiosity will get you into trouble one day.

Cult Leader Zhang

Once I am back to the Central Plains, I plan to settle down in the outskirts.

From then on, Purple Dress Dragon King and Golden Flower Granny will disappear from the Pugilist world.

I shall betroth my only daughter to you.

Mom

Please don't leave me alone.

Madam Han, don't worry.

I regard Xiao Zhao as my little sister. I will take very good care of her.

Sister?

This princess is your precious darling.

My daughter is only a sister?

Mom

I only want to be the Young Master's servant.

To stay by his side and take care of him.

Silly girl.

Are you serious about what you said?

Yes, I'm absolutely serious.

Dai Qi Si's daughter is only worthy to be a maid?

-Actually, I... -Madam Han

Would you rather your daughter stay with Cult Leader Zhang as a servant

Or do you want her to follow your footsteps and be a Sacred Maiden in Persia?

You...

Master, you promised to keep this secret for me!

I can swear to the Heaven I did not disclose a single word to Miss Zhao.

Cult Leader Zhang did not betray you.

It was just purely guessing on my part.

Looks like I guessed it correctly.

Did you really manage to guess it based on pure imagination?

When I was a young child, my father hired a martial artist from Persia to teach me martial arts.

I was a stubborn and mischievous child. I always gave him a headache.

Whenever he was angry with me, he would start scaring me

And say that he would send me to Persia to be the Sacred Maiden.

And I would never be able to get married my whole life.

And if I break the Sect rules I would be burned to death.

Madam Han

You turned yourself ugly on purpose.

All because you wanted to avoid getting caught by Persian Headquarters.

Miss Zhao.

I thought you were injured? You better sit down and rest.

That Persia martial arts expert who taught me also liked to apply gunpowder on his body.

Every time I came across the gun powder smell on him

I would have goosebumps. and it would remind me of fire execution.

Madam Han!

Did they make you change into this white robe?

They told me that the Leader of Persia headquarters has just passed away.

So I have to put on a white robe as a sacrificial offering.

This is bad! This is surely going to be something against us!

Bad news!

There are many foreigners outside! They seem to be coming for us.

Mom...

You are smart!

Thank you Holy Guardian King.

All traitors must die!

Don't be scared!

Get the gun powder ready!

The entrance is blocked with gun powder.

You will die if you attempt to leave!

This is bad!

This cave only has one entrance.

We are doomed!

Pour the oil!

Third brother, be careful!

These are the sweat of the demon!

What is sweat of the demon?

It is fossil oil!

Everyone be careful! Retreat to the back!

Zhiruo, protect Yin Li!

Yes!

Get the fire arrows ready!

Listen carefully

Purple Dress Dragon King has betrayed the Cult.

The Cult must kill traitors! Bring her head to us!

Quickly surrender! The Guardian Kings shall spare your lives !

And you can leave!

Mom...

Don't worry.

Lion King and Wuji would rather die than betray your mom.

Of course

Ming Cult's Four Guardian Kings are closed knitted like real siblings.

We would never kill one another!

Third brother.

Golden Hair Lion King. How dare you rebel?

Our Holy Guardian King is benevolent enough to let you off only If you can kill Purple Dress Dragon King!

I, Xie Xun, act with a clear conscience

Even if I die, I will never do it!

Granny, don't worry.

We will protect you.

Zhiruo, bring the Persian over here.

You don't agree to our conditions then?

Never! Do you want to fight or not!

This Persian guy is our only hope.

Look! It's Equality Guardian King!

I don't think so. Maybe they don't even care about his life.

Elder

We are trapped here anyway. There is no harm taking a gamble.

We shall see who wins.

They're holding the Equality Guardian King hostage!

Hold it!

What are you waiting for? This is the perfect time to capture them!

Quickly shoot!

Go away! You don't have the right to command us as an outsider.

This idea is effective. They have their reservations.

Is there any good idea now?

I think we have to use force to snatch him back.

What are they saying?

They are discussing how to snatch Equality Guardian King back.

The Persian Envoys' moves are unpredictable. They are difficult to tackle in the first place.

And now with additional help from the Guardian Kings,

I fear...

We have no choice but to risk it for a chance to stay alive.

Or should I say...luckily we have Cult Leader Zhang with us.

Master, Miss Zhou is right.

You are not their match. If you force your way through, you might lose your life.

The Holy Guardian King has decided to come in and grab the person they want.

Wuji

Take the Dragon Saber.

Godfather

Just slash as they come.

Okay.

I'm injured. It's better that you take the sword.

Miss Zhou, please guard our hostage well.

You don't have to be lenient with him but please don't kill him.

Even if this Equality Guardian King can escape alive, he is so ugly with these words on his face

What words?

The words were imprinted when the Holy Flame Tablets hit his face.

This...this is Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi theory.

What does it say?

It reads "Left is actually front"

"Right is actually back"

"3 illusions 7 realities"

“Create something out of nothing" and something something... and also something similar to "Sky is flat, Earth is round"

"Left is actually front"

"Right is actually back"

-"Right is actually back" -This isn't the time to learn and analyze martial arts.

We better focus on our enemies.

Shoot!

"Left is actually front"

"Right is actually back"

He is enlightened!

What?

Maybe it's related to those theories imprinted on the face.

And the one who were beaten by him seem to be enlightened too.

I suspect the secret lies with the Holy Flame Tablets!

Indeed!

If you want to understand Persian martial arts, you have to understand their origins

The origins came from the Holy Flame Tablets!

Xiao Zhao, read me the words on the Holy Flame Tablets, quick!

Xiao Zhao

Miss Wu!

Miss Wu! Miss Wu!

Miss Wu! Miss Wu!

Quickly, Xiao Zhao!

It says "Move with your heart"

"Be mindful with clear conscience"

"Mindful...clear conscience"

What exactly does it mean?

I am not too sure either. But what's written here isn't related to martial arts.

It says that the Holy Flame Tablets were passed on to the Central Plains

And later on passed back to Persia.

This has been through a thousand years of time

And merged with Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi

Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi?

This is the basic meaning written here.

It's fine. Just recite whatever you can read. Continue.

"Move with your heart" "Be mindful with clear conscience"

Godfather!

Cult Leader Zhang! You finally got it!

Leave quickly! Don't bother about me. Burn them alive!

Shut up!

Equality Guardian King!

Retreat first!

You have completely learned the martial arts on the Holy Flame Tablets.

This martial arts is too dark and evil.

Equality Guardian King Killed himself.

Yeah, now our hostage is gone.

Even if you finally figured out how to tackle the Persians' martial arts,

We still can't escape from this cave.

If they continue to pour more oil into the cave, we will all die.

Miss Zhao.

Please don't be so pessimistic.

Miss Zhao, are you okay?

As long as I can be with you

I'm not afraid of death.

Don't be scared.

I will protect you.

Wuji!

You are Ming Cult's Leader.

The commoners in Central Plains are waiting for Ming Cult to overthrow the current government

And restore the Han Chinese rule in Central Plains.

You must know your priorities and be clear minded as a Ming Cult Leader.

Godfather

Elder

Do you really think we can still leave here alive?

Under such circumstances?

I don't care about others.

But no one can harm Wuji as long as I'm around.

Are you referring to me?

I'm willing to die a million times for Cult Leader Zhang.

Without regrets.

If we win this battle with the Persians

Wuji will have to go against the current government

What would you do then?

I'm willing to be with him.

But it's pointless to say all these now.

We can only die together here.

You caused Equality Guardian King's death.

Today I want all of you to pay with your lives!

If you are real heroes

then fight it out with me to determine the winner!

Real men only fight with wits

So what if you are highly skilled in martial arts?

We gave you a choice but you did not treasure it. You shall go to hell then!

Get the arrows ready!

Wuji!

Stand behind me.

Mom...

Fire!

Wait!

She is the Sacred Maiden?

What happened?
