[Episode 12]

Have a drink?

Of course. Why not?

Save me some!

Good wine.

Three-year-old Wen.

Master Zhou, congratulations on receiving a beloved disciple.

Do you know why I accepted Chengling as my disciple?

No.

Quickly, tell me why.

This child is stupid, and his foundation is not good,

and he has exceeded the ideal age to start practicing martial arts.

Why do you care so much about him?

As a child,

my master once advised me of this.

The two rarest qualities found in a person are benevolence and courage.

The ancient sages classified courageous people into these types:

courageous in energy, blood, backbone, and spirit.

They are all factors of the courage of youth.

My master promoted the courage of solidarity.

What does it mean?

To do something even while knowing it’s not allowed,

and to trust people even when knowing that their motives are hard to guess.

Lao Wen,

for people of our age to reveal our hearts to others is difficult.

I personally am unable to do it,

and I am unable to request it of you.

That’s why I decided to take a step out first.

I want to take a gamble.

You are...

the one that I know.

That damned nasty woman hit me so fiercely.

I will kill her next time I see her.

It hurts so much.

You—

What are you doing here?

A’Xiang, what’s wrong with your arm?

Not only that, your complexion is horrible.

A’Xiang, where did you go last night?

The assassins sneaked into Yueyang Sect and kidnapped Chengling.

What do you mean, “Where did I go last night?”

You... weren’t in the house last night, were you?

How...

How do you know that?

Did you see it?

But you really were not in the house.

Last night, I heard that the assassins sneaked into the Yueyang Sect

and triggered a full-scale manhunt.

I was worried that you might feel scared, so I came to your pavilion to see you.

Who told you to come to me?

It was the middle of the night, did anyone see you?

N-No.

Rest assured.

I certainly know that women’s reputations are precious.

I came here quietly.

All of them were looking for the assassins.

So don’t worry, nobody knows I’m here.

Did you also go out to find Chengling, A’Xiang?

That’s so dangerous!

It would’ve been just fine to leave it to us. You’re just a girl.

I know.

Leave here now.

I’ll talk to you later.

Well, A’Xiang, don’t worry. Chengling will be fine.

Hurry up and go!

Otherwise people will see us standing together early in the morning.

Just go.

It is said that the hearts of martial artists are sinister.

But since I came out of the valley,

I met Zhou Xu, Chengling, and Brother Cao, and each of them is more stupid than the previous.

Who are you?

It’s me, Senior Brother.

Miss Gu, you get up so early.

I’m doing my morning exercise.

You guys go on. I’m out of here.

Please wait, Miss Gu.

My master wants to see you.

Master.

Are you feeling a bit better now?

I’m fine.

Where is Uncle Wen, Master?

You knew to look for me the moment you woke up.

You’re much more conscientious than your master.

Let’s go.

Where are we going?

In such a big world,

the three of us can go wherever we want to go.

However, before we leave,

we need to find a secluded place

to take out what’s inside Chengling.

It’s never good to keep objects inside the body for long periods of time.

What happens after we take it out?

Throw it away, bury it, smash it up, who cares?

It’s not a good thing, anyway.

But, Master, Ghost Valley annihilated my entire family

just to get the Glazed Armor.

That’s even further proof that this isn’t a good object.

My father died because of the Glazed Armor.

The Heroes Conference is about to start.

It is said that Uncle Gao will use this event

to announce all of the Glazed Armor’s history to the world.

If you want to know about its history,

there’s no need to wait for the Heroes Conference.

I can just tell you.

Regarding this mess,

no one in this world knows it better than I do.

Twenty years ago, there was a mysterious master

who appeared out of nowhere and made himself a big name in the pugilist world.

He was Rong Xuan, the Mountain Sealing Sword.

This man by the surname of Rong had a perplexing theory. [The Mountain Sealing Sword, Rong Xuan]

He said that all martial arts in the world come from the same source,

and if everyone could discard their selfishness

and sincerely exchange and learn,

they would be able to create an unprecedented master branch.

This perplexing theory actually managed to impress a crowd of people [Lu Taichong and Zhao Jing in youth]

who did not understand the world well enough. [Lu Taichong and Zhao Jing in youth]

who did not understand the world well enough. [Gao Chong and Shen Shen in youth]

Twenty years ago, [Zhang Yusen in youth]

the pugilist world was not as stagnant as it is today.

Rather, people were able to feel like old friends upon first sight,

and have deep understandings of each other at first glance.

People gradually regarded Rong Xuan as the core.

They followed him in his madness,

striving to change the inherited traditions

of the martial arts for thousands of years

to create a completely new world.

However, Rong Xuan fell deeper and deeper into his dream.

He began to search for the secret scrolls in any way possible

whether by trickery or violence, or even by deception.

He used to be an outstanding young youth in the pugilist world

but gradually,

he became the rat that everyone passing by him shouted at and beat up.

Fortunately, Rong Xuan married the great disciple of the Miracle Healer Valley,

Yue Feng’Er, the Fairy Ganoderma, to be his wife. [Yue Feng’Er]

Although he was injured several times by ambushes,

she saved him from the jaws of death.

The Heavens were blind.

After several years, this group of ignorant people

finally collected countless secret scrolls

and created a place called the World’s Armory in a secret place.

He set up many traps outside the armory,

and divided the key into five parts,

respectively given to Rong Xuan’s five strongest friends for safekeeping.

If one wants to open the World’s Armory,

they must find all five pieces of the secret key. Not even one can be missing.

And then?

Then...

Then isn’t what happened a well-known thing?

At that time, the Five Lakes Alliance held a Martial Arts Conference,

calling on all heroes to kill this madman.

Rong Xuan had no other choice

but to be forced to leave Mount Qingya.

After killing countless people,

he finally exhausted all of his strength

and committed suicide by the demarcation stone in Ghost Valley.

A well-known thing?

How come my knowledge of it is different?

Because it’s the end of Rong Xuan’s story,

not that of the pugilist world.

After his suicide,

the ghosts in Mount Qingya swarmed out

and started a huge battle with the righteous martial arts heroes.

That battle was fought despairingly

with many deaths and injuries on both sides.

The righteous martial arts heroes lost a large part of their people,

and the power of Ghost Valley was greatly weakened.

However, the great battle brought

twenty years of peace to the pugilist world.

Every survivor

had a loved one who died in the battle.

The battle was started for ignominious reasons

and the ending was inglorious.

That’s why people keep it a secret.

Do you mean that all these people who died

were greedy for the treasures in the armory?

If twenty years ago, the Five Lakes Alliance

opened the armory as they had hoped,

I imagine that the Mirror Lake Sword Sect

wouldn’t have come to an end.

The Glazed Armor.

The Glazed Armor is the key.

My father was one of the five friends of Uncle Rong.

It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s all in the past now.

Is it?

Not necessarily.

[Chongwu Hall]

Last night, our Five Lakes Alliance was hit by assassins.

They took Zhang Chengling, my fourth brother’s orphan, away.

This is a major event.

Perhaps we have a mole in here.

As this is an urgent matter, please allow me to be rude.

According to the reports of disciples of the Five Lakes Alliance,

none of you were in your rooms at the time of the incident yesterday.

I will be presumptuous

and ask all of you to clearly state where you went last night in order to clear yourself of suspicion.

This is also to avoid people from harboring resentment in the future.

Master, I have thought it through.

I can’t leave now.

I must go back to the Five Lakes Alliance.

You little idiot.

I said so much, but it was as if I were playing the lute to a cow. (T/N: A Chinese saying that means he was preaching to deaf ears)

Since you already know the origin of the Glazed Armor

and the bad intentions of these people,

why do you still want to go back?

Because guarding the Glazed Armor is my father’s last wish.

I know that many people are involved in this matter.

No matter how useless I am, how could I stay out of the way just for my own safety?

What’s more, the Heroes Conference is about to start

and I’m the only one left to represent the Mirror Lake Sword Sect.

If I am absent, then the Mirror Lake Sword Sect

will really be removed from the pugilist world.

Chengling, you’re a responsible child.

It’s great.

If you have decided to go back,

then listen to your master’s advice

and return the Glazed Armor to the Five Lakes Alliance.

Why?

My father and the Five Lakes Alliance were locked in a stalemate for twenty years

just because of the Glazed Armor.

Chengling, which is more important: your safety or the Glazed Armor?

The Glazed Armor, of course.

No.

There is nothing more important than life.

The world itself does not naturally create trouble,

it is ignorant people who create it for themselves.

Chengling, what do you think of my martial arts skills?

Your skills are definitely the best.

My martial arts skills can’t be considered bad,

and I’m more or less considered as top-tier.

However, I am only proficient in a few martial arts skills of my clan.

There is an end to life, but never to learning.

Even if ordinary people spend their entire life’s energy,

they will still be unable to fully master a martial art’s study.

Therefore, even if the armory is opened

and each person is given a kind of martial art, what can be done?

That’s just human greed.

But, Master, my father told me—

Chengling, it was not the armory itself that Great Warrior Zhang clung to,

rather, it was the brotherhood.

If your father had actually wanted to open the armory,

he would have done so 20 years ago. What would the point in waiting until now be?

Senior Rong Xuan has passed away,

and your father has also become a martyr.

If they can see you in the underworld,

they must hope that you can be relieved from what happened 20 years ago

and continue living your own life.

They don’t want you to keep carrying this trouble

and continuously get coveted and robbed.

Some people let their lives revolve around greed.

I have no control over them.

However, you are someone that I can influence.

Take my advice.

Throw this trouble out and let them scramble.

Excuse me,

You, Miss.

I do not remember seeing you around. Which sect are you a disciple of?

Me?

I am nobody, not belonging to any sect.

I’m just a wild girl from the countryside.

Everyone in our area says

Great Warrior Gao is highly skilled in martial arts with an extraordinary spirit.

Now that I see you today, it’s indeed true.

You have a grandiose reputation. (T/N: Literally, “the name of a man, the shadow of a tree”)

Father.

She is Gu Xiang, Weining’s... friend.

He introduced her to me,

and I arranged for her to stay.

By the way, she’s also an old friend of Chengling.

She’s not a bad person.

Sister Xiaolian, you’re sweet but silly.

Mentioning exactly what you shouldn’t mention. (T/N: Literally, “mentioning the kettle that doesn’t boil”)

Miss Gu.

How did you meet Chengling?

It’s pretty obvious, right?

Young Master Zhang is handsome with a good heart,

and he’s also the offspring of a famous family.

Everyone knows who he is!

All of us in Yuezhou know him.

Miss Gu, where did you go last night?

Great Warrior Gao...

Sorry, Alliance Leader Gao.

Surely you don’t have to be so harsh?

I’m just a girl from the countryside without worldly experience.

Your dominance scares me a little.

- Father. - Shut up!

You are glib-tongued and exude a wicked aura about you.

You are definitely not a good girl.

Why did you let her stay over?

How am I not a good girl?

Can I only be considered one if I deliberately speak in a soft voice?

You!

Uncle Gao.

Uncle Gao, please don’t blame Sister Xiaolian or put A’Xiang in a hard place.

It’s all my fault.

Don’t push the blame onto yourself, Weining.

Tell me! Where exactly did you go last night?

If you don’t speak honestly, I will not continue treating you with courtesy!

- I... - A’Xiang was with me the whole night last night!

[Yueyang Sect]

Chengling, remember.

Do your absolute best to make sure that others know

the Glazed Armor is no longer in your possession.

I’ll pick you up when the Heroes Conference ends.

Little idiot.

Don’t talk about things that have nothing to do with you,

and when you are asked, shake your head and say you don’t know.

Understand?

The leaders of the Five Lakes Alliance are all cunning.

You don’t need to care what kind of tricks they are playing.

Just ignore them and keep silent.

You only need to show up at the Heroes Conference.

Thanks, Uncle Wen.

Will you join us afterwards?

I want to stay with you forever.

And Sister Xiang, we’ll...

Enough, Chengling.

Don’t act as overly fussy as your Uncle Wen does.

If you need anything, go to your Sister Xiang.

Don’t worry. We’re all here for you.

Hurry and go.

Young Master Zhang, you’re finally back.

We’ve been waiting for you for so long.

Luckily you’re back now,

otherwise Master will get angry.

Hurry up.

[Yueyang Sect]

What’s wrong?

There’s not a single good thing in the Fives Lakes Alliance.

Your silly disciple insisted on going back,

which made me worry about him.

The note that tempted Chengling out had a “Xu” on it.

How did they know about your relationship with Chengling

and the name Zhou Xu?

No matter if we were interacting with the Window of Heaven or the Venomous Scorpions,

I never revealed this name.

I only told one person about this name, you.

Could it have been you who revealed it?

When we sent Chengling to the Five Lakes Alliance,

you mentioned the name Zhou Xu.

Don’t throw dirt on me.

Never mind.

An innocent man’s only guilt is that he holds a treasure.

The people who hired the Four Scorpion Assassins

was just trying to get the Glazed Armor.

Now that Chengling gave it away,

he is now just an orphan.

After the Heroes Conference ends,

I will take him far away.

Let’s go.

You are acting like an old mother sending her son away.

Where are we going?

To have a drink and sunbathe.

We can do whatever.

[Yueyang Sect]

[Blessed Timing]

Master!

Master, Young Master Zhang is back.

Hey Young Great Warrior Cao. I didn’t expect that.

I already knew you liked this girl,

but I didn’t expect your relationship to develop so quickly.

[Highrise in the Cloud]

To do something even while knowing it’s not allowed,

and to trust people even when knowing that their motives are hard to guess.

A’Xu,

why don’t you dare to bet I am the one you know?

What kind of person do you think I am?

A good person or a bad person?

Save your words.

Are you talking in tongue twisters?

[Calligraphy and Paintings]

Tell me. I’m dying of curiosity.

Besides being handsome, obviously,

What do I look like in others’ eyes?

A stupid guy.

I’ve spent a lot of time in various places experiencing battles.

If I can’t even tell the good people from the bad ones,

then wasn’t my life wasted?

So you think

I’m a good person?

An evil person is given a second chance when he sets aside his sword.

If a good person does something wrong,

how come he is never allowed to move past it?

It doesn’t make sense.

Turns out I’m a good person!

No, you’re wrong.

I’m more than a good person.

I’m Philanthropist Wen.

Stop messing around, Philanthropist Wen.

A’Xu.

A’Xu.

A’Xu.

What do you usually like to do with your time?

What do you mean?

Even the Leader of the Window of Heaven

must have free time.

Quiet down.

Can’t I ask you that,

Great Leader Zhou?

I will break your teeth if you call me that again.

You haven’t answered my question yet.

What do you usually do in your free time?

When I’m free, I will practice my skills. Does that count?

Are you kidding me? Can this be considered as an activity during free time?

More or less so.

You are the “other family’s child” from the legends. (T/N: A Chinese cultural joke is that the outstanding children are always someone else’s, not your own. This is because Chinese families tend to compare their children with others children)

When I was a child,

my parents criticized me many times

for not practicing martial arts properly.

It’s fine. It’s fine.

My master kept teaching me that

children should do what children should do.

That’s why he kept inviting me to go fishing and catching birds every day.

We played on the grass in the spring and played with ice in the winter.

I wanted to practice martial arts when I was a child.

Sometimes when my master forced me to play,

I would seek help from his wife.

She always stood by my side

and criticized my master.

Now I see.

What?

I had been wondering how this world could possibly have such a wonderful master.

Isn’t it obvious? Your master wanted to play outside,

but he was worried that his wife would scold him. That’s why he took you along with him.

Why didn’t I think of it?

It makes sense now.

It turns out that in this world,

I am not the only one who doesn’t fit with the times.

When I was a child, I could not play when I wanted to,

and no one would teach me martial arts when I wanted to learn.

A’Xu, so you are just like me.

Chengling must be well now.

We don’t need to worry about him.

We have to find something else to enjoy before the Heroes Conference.

We can’t just stay here.

Lao Wen, have you ever suffered a loss?

Why do you ask that?

I have no great ability and often suffer losses.

However, each time I suffer a loss,

I will be sure to claim back what I lost the next time.

This is the first time I have suffered repeatedly

in the same matter.

The Venomous Scorpion?

That’s right. His nest was hard to find.

But how did you find it before I did?

It’s not the nest. It’s just a small base.

Back in the days when the Window of Heaven expanded its power to Jiangnan,

we had fought with the Venomous Scorpion several times.

First, in the coffin home; then, in the accident last night.

If these losses are not returned back...

Lao Wen,

how about going to the Venomous Scorpion’s base and making a big mess?

A’Xu, didn’t you find out

that there are six words to describe me?

“I only fear an unchaotic world.”

Go, go, go.

There’s nothing more enjoyable than having fun.

[Chongwu Hall]

Chengling!

Sister Xiaolian, why are you here?

Are you okay?

Don’t cry, Sister Xiaolian.

I’m fine.

Does it hurt?

Not anymore!

It was a surface wound.

That must be painful.

With the Glazed Armor stuffed in your wound,

you were still running around in that condition.

It’s fine, it’s fine.

The wound grew quickly and stopped hurting.

Chengling, please allow me to thank you on behalf of my father.

Sincerely.

My father’s personality is stalwart and inarticulate,

but I, as his daughter, know him best.

He spent the past years racking his brains, suffering day and night

just to remedy the gap between the five brothers

and to maintain the glory of the Five Lakes Alliance.

Thanks for your trust in us.

- Sister Xiaolian... - I know what you want to say.

Isn’t it the same as what I think?

I’d rather you be my brother

so that I can protect you forever.

However, this matter between us

is an essential step for my father to restore the Five Lakes Alliance.

Otherwise, how could he tell the world about his determination?

Sister Xiaolian, how can you see your own marriage as a chess move?

I have no other way to help my father share the burden.

Let the misunderstandings and grudges of the past generation

end in our generation.

From today forward, Yueyang Sect is your home.

Why is this sweet idiot so confused?

Sister Xiang!

I’m glad to see that you’re safe.

Did you hear everything we just said?

I came at such a coincidental time. I heard everything!

How about you? Are you okay?

Was it my master who saved you?

Then, why did you return to this damned place?

It was Master and Uncle Wen who persuaded me to come back.

Master?

Did Zhou Xu take you as his disciple?

Congratulations! You’ve got a fool’s luck!

You finally have a strong backing like Zhou Xu.

So many great things.

Gao Chong has really gone all out.

It’s just a teensy piece of Glazed Armor, is it worth this?

People who don’t know what’s going on would’ve thought you had given birth to a baby for the Five Lakes Alliance!

Sister Xiang, don’t make fun of me.

In fact, I wanted to save all these supplements for you.

That night, you were injured by those people who were kidnapping me.

Have you recovered?

Thanks for your protection.

Good. You still remember.

Don’t worry. I’m fine.

[Xiangzhu Hall]

What does Master want?

He came out of the valley in search of the Glazed Armor,

how come after meeting that Sick Ghoul,

[Conifer Residence]

he stopped caring about anything?

He’s been hanging out with that guy all day.

Maybe that Zhou drugged him?

All he knew how to do was leave me in this terrible place without taking care of me.

Even that fool named Cao is better than him.

Why did I think of him again?

[Conifer Residence]

How wretched!

[Five Lakes World Alliance]

Eldest Brother, now that we’ve retrieved the Glazed Armor of the Zhang family,

why are you still full of worry?

I’m wondering who saved Chengling.

Is it an enemy or an ally?

Why won’t he come to see me?

Since he sent Chengling and the Glazed Armor back,

he must not be an enemy.

The two pieces of the Glazed Armor from Second Brother and Taichong

must already be in Ghost Valley’s possession.

Where is your Glazed Armor, Fifth Brother?

I’ve been carrying it with me as you instructed.

From today onwards, let me keep it.

What’s wrong?

Nothing.

I was just thinking. If you, Eldest Brother, carry three pieces of the Glazed Armor yourself,

what if you fall into danger?

Even if the danger falls on me,

it is better than letting you face danger.

Give it to me.

Eldest Brother. Fifth Brother.

Second Brother, you’re back.

Thank you for your hard work.

I’m sorry for worrying you.

But everything goes well.

Although Brother Long did not want to see me,

he promised to send someone to the Heroes Conference

specifically to explain the origin of the Glazed Armor.

It’s good that the Dragon Pool Cabinet is willing to come.

You’ve worked hard, Second Brother.

Fifth Brother, look at you.

If you had been able to invite the Sword Immortal of Changming Mountain over,

Second Brother would not have had to painstakingly go to the Dragon Pool Cabinet.

Eldest Brother,

I took the Token of Honor to the Sword Hall of Mount Changming

and shouted for days all around it.

Not a single person listened to me.

There is no trace of human life on that mountain.

I guess the immortal died a long time ago.

Think about it! How old would Rong Xuan be if he were still alive?

Second Brother,

let me tell you a piece of good news.

We found the Glazed Armor of Zhang family.

Congratulations, Eldest Brother! It’s true that good things come in pairs.

[Lichun Hall]

[Noble Line]

Destroyed?

Right.

Is this the work of the Five Lakes Alliance or Ghost Valley?

Don’t overestimate them.

We’ve only been gone a few hours.

How could either of them have the ability to destroy a Venomous Scorpion base so easily?

It looks like someone is worried about the secret of the Venomous Scorpions being revealed.

They must have discovered that their own base had gotten exposed,

so they destroyed the place overnight themselves.

By themselves?

Although Changing Ghost is not smart,

his ambition is not small.

He has been working under me all these years.

Yet he’s still able to collude with the Venomous Scorpions?

However, these idiots could never know

the more they mess around,

the closer I get to my goal.

[Qingyun Restaurant]

A’Xu.

Master!

Master, are you looking for me?

Sick Ghoul? Why are you still with Master?

What?

You don’t approve of him staying with me?

No.

How could I?

It’s great. Pretty great.

The Venomous Scorpion woman hit you last time.

How are you doing now?

Nothing serious.

Little Chengling has a conscience.

He gave all of the supplements that Gao Chong gave him, to me.

I’ll be fine after some rest.

I really didn’t expect

that the Venomous Scorpions would blatantly sneak into the Yueyang Sect to kidnap people.

That’s really weird.

Maybe there’s a spy.

Luckily, after Chengling took the Glazed Armor out of his body,

he is out of danger.

A’Xiang,

maybe you should not risk staying in Yueyang Sect.

Make up a lie and leave there.

Master, do you want me to go back to serve you?

A’Xu, do you mind having A’Xiang following us?

Of course not.

I’d love to have a little beauty with us.

I mind!

I’ll give you a break, A’Xiang.

Just go everywhere you want to go.

I...

I don’t want to go anywhere.

Master, I just want to stay in the Yueyang Sect to protect Chengling.

You’re going to pick up Chengling after the Heroes Conference, right?

Then... Then, just in case, I’ll stay in the sect to protect him.

That fellow is an idiot!

Who’s there?

- Come out! - Brother Zhou! It’s me, it’s me.

Cao Weining, from the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

You—

A’Xiang,

how did you not even know that someone was following you? How are you doing things?

Cao Weining, are you following me?

No, no! How could I dare to?

I just heard from Zhu Yaozhi

that someone wrote to ask you to meet here.

I thought it must be Master Wen,

so I felt a bit nervous and came with you.

Why are you nervous about my master looking for me?

I’m afraid you’ll leave.

Turns out the reason why A’Xiang doesn’t want to leave Yueyang Sect...

is right here.

A’Xiang, you’re willing to stay for me?

Her words don’t count.

I decide whether or not my servant girl can leave or stay.

B-Brother Zhou, A’Xiang said you are seriously ill,

and Master Wen has found many famous doctors for you.

My martial uncle knows a lot of people,

and there must be competent doctors among them.

He’ll be back in a few days for the Heroes Conference.

I will introduce you two to him.

He has extensive knowledge, so he must have a solution.

I’ll take care of A’Xu’s injuries, so don’t bother caring about it.

Thank you, Brother Cao.

But to be honest, I’m terminally ill and have a few days to live.

Thanks for your good intention.

Brother Zhou, I didn’t expect you to have such a serious illness.

It’s a trick of fate. A trick of fate.

But Brother Zhou, there’s must be a way.

My master and Alliance Leader Gao are bosom friends.

I heard that Alliance Leader Gao has a good relationship

with the three sages of the Miracle Healer Valley.

I can beg my master to let him help you enter the Miracle Healer Valley.

Things may still turn around.

Brother Cao, you are such a warm-hearted man. You are worthy of being among great warriors.

You make me feel moved.

It’s just that I’m paranoid.

Instead of wasting time on searching for a cure,

why not travel the world with my soulmate while I’m still healthy?

We can enjoy wine and poetry.

We can live carefreely, so as not to waste this lifetime.

It’s just that A’Xiang is a girl

and it’s inconvenient for her to follow us, rough old men, across the world.

Today, Brother Wen and I were here discussing

if we could help A’Xiang find a...

trustworthy companion

who she can settle with, that would be wonderful.

B-Brother Zhou, Master Wen...

do you think

I’m trustworthy?
