And The Winner Is Love

Episode 9

It’s indeed quite complicated between a gentleman and a lady.

It is if you think so.

But it can be simple

if you look from a different perspective.

Childe Shangguan, you sound sophisticated.

You must be

quite experienced with ladies

I assume that many ladies

must have fallen for you.

Ms. Chong,

you overestimate me.

Am I not right?

If I am

that kind of man

you assume,

would you be friends with me?

Ms. Chong?

Aren’t you?

I don’t buy it.

You know my rules, don’t you?

I do.

Never get close to your room.

Never peep at your room.

Never break into your room

in any cases.

Good.

Drunk again? You forget to close your door.

This place is indeed

a paradise

where you never want to leave.

People living here

can leave all their worries behind.

They can laugh and dance here,

leaving everything behind.

Winehouse of Fairyland is a place where you can buy drinks.

People come here

to escape from the troubles in this world.

But wine

can’t solve any problems.

You have to face them

eventually.

These days,

with you being with me,

I don’t even need to think

how to protect

and to strive our sect.

I don’t need to think

where the traitors are

or

if Muyuan would get worried

for not finding me.

I feel so good

when I can only be myself

not the Young Master of Hall of Flames.

In my heart,

you’re never the Young Master of Hall of Flames

but the one I need to protect.

Now,

I have only one identity,

the Young Master of Hall of Flames.

I think

I am just a little girl,

my father’s little girl,

before leaving the Hall of Flames.

But

my father has gone.

I find

that there is never a Chong Xuezhi

in this world

after I leave the Hall of Flames.

There is only one witch

who is loathed and detested by everyone.

If there’s a second chance,

will you wish

to be a normal

and ordinary girl?

Of course.

When I was little,

I always hated to practice martial arts.

Father would punish me

if I was found being slack.

When he did so,

my uncle would come to rescue me.

He always said

that a girl

didn’t have to practice martial arts.

I can be with

a boy

who I like and can protect me

when I grow up.

Is this uncle you mention

Mr. Lin Changran,

who has

an impressive reputation?

Yes.

Do you know him?

You can say so.

Then how is he now?

Does he live a good life?

He?

He’s quite good.

But

it’s natural for an old man like him

to chatter all the time.

Then,

where did you meet him?

At here? No way.

Of course not.

Mr. Lin never likes entertainment venues.

That’s true.

But never bring him here

next time.

He might be led astray.

Am I so indecent

in your heart?

You might be.

Ever since my father passed away,

my uncle

also left the Hall of Flames.

He can’t be tracked down since then.

I don’t know

where he is now

or if he lives a good life.

What about

going to a place with me tomorrow?

Where?

Somewhere

you can find your memories back.

What a perfect sculpture.

Are you waiting for Xuezhi?

There isn’t a second people

who would call me that

except you, Hongxiu.

Everyone says

that every lady would fall for you

but none of them ever gets your love.

And no one

has ever seen you like this,

being so restrained and behaving yourself.

You’re kidding me.

Ms. Chong is simple and innocent.

Don’t tell her so.

She will think too much.

I’m not kidding you.

I’m not that bored

to make jokes with you.

You’re of course

a person who always tells the truth.

Langya knows it well.

Don’t get us involved.

Listen.

It’s the fact

that you’d adore Xuezhi

for her perseverance and naiveness.

But don’t lose your

control on her.

Hongxiu.

You misunderstand it.

I only treat her

like a little sister.

A little sister?

Don’t play innocent.

You treat her like your sister?

Do you know what she thinks of you?

I’m afraid

that she won’t be a sister or a friend

if you can’t control the situation.

Why would you bring her

all the way here to my Winehouse of Fairyland?

Why would you drink with her and play the instrument to please her

while you were gathering information around discreetly?

And why would you introduce her

your best friend?

I think

you want to hook you two up.

Stop kidding me.

Don’t you know

what kind of person I am?

Of course

I do.

But I don’t think you do.

You don’t know yourself.

Do you play innocent?

Or are you so wise

that you can’t fall in love with anyone?

It’s lucky for me

to lose all the attachments towards anything.

However,

it’s miserable for you to do so.

Stop it.

Have you ever seen me

falling for any girl

for all these years?

I’m all alone.

I have witnessed enough fake love

and dirty tricks.

I was raised by my parents.

But actually,

I’m all alone.

It’s okay that I have to endure the lonely life.

It’s not okay for any girl

to endure such miserable life with me.

Maybe there’s true love

and unbroken vows

in this world.

But none of these belongs to me.

I never wish to get what I want.

I only hope that I have no demands.

I’ve heard enough of such words.

According to you,

no one should fall in love, right?

I’ve been displaced for years.

I have no right to drag others behind.

So I should

lie to Langya, right?

That’s not the same.

You two love each other,

while Ms. Chong and I

are just ordinary friends.

Nothing more than that.

Yeah, if you say so.

Don’t regret it in the future.

But you’re right about one thing.

All the way here,

I only care for her safety.

There is something I neglected.

I did

something extra.

Hope she won’t think too much.

We can set off now.

I’ve asked around.

There’s no other sects

along our way.

But be cautious

on your way.

Thank you, Hongxiu.

Never mind.

Hongxiu,

I have a question...

Don’t ask.

I know your question.

Rumors have it

that Shangguan Tou is a play boy,

that he’s proud and arrogant.

They’re all fake.

How do you know my question?

Because it’s all written on your face.

Xuezhi,

I

have to give you some notes.

He is not

what you think he is.

Every girl would fall for him.

But he never falls for any girl.

It’s hard to get close to him.

It’s even harder

to get close to his heart.

He won’t open his heart

for anyone.

You may not know it now.

In the near future,

you’ll get to know it.

Tou,

when will you come again?

On the day your wedding is held,

I’ll surely come.

My good buddy.

I’m afraid

we can’t meet again in this life.

Xuezhi,

see you later.

See you.

Why is there lotus in the food?

Lotus can be used in medicines,

teas and cuisines.

All the herbs and animals

in the Moon Valley

are supplies

used only by us.

We produce our own supplies

and never ask for resources from outside.

The original intention of the Moon Valley’s foundation

was to build a fairyland

where we can seek for

peace and get rid of troubles.

Unlike your Hall of Flames,

who offers weapons to all sects.

It’s inevitable for you to get involved into trouble.

That explains it.

Childe Shangguan,

is there any disciple

who practices martial arts?

They only do what should be done.

Our Moon Valley

is never restrained by rules or conventions.

Disciples come here

to escape from

the riots and worries

in the world.

It sounds like you.

Xuezhi.

Uncle.

[Deputy Leader of Moon Valley, Lin Changran]

Uncle.

Uncle.

Why are you here?

How come are you here in the Moon Valley?

It’s been years.

Uncle.

Where were you all these years?

I have been looking for you.

But I can’t find you anywhere.

I miss you so much.

Are you okay?

I’m fine.

I haven’t seen you for years.

Now you’re a pretty girl

and look like your father even more.

So,

you asked Childe Shangguan

to protect me, right?

Thank you

for your discreet protection for her.

Childe Shangguan,

are you trying to persuade Ms. Chong

staying in Moon Valley?

She can make her decision

of staying or not.

I have another favor

to ask you for.

Please say it. Childe Shangguan.

I want to trace down the traitor of the Hall of Flames.

Do you have any suspects in your mind?

If Ms.Chong comes to a bad end,

the one who benefits the most

will be Yuwen Muyuan,

the former Chief Guardian of the Hall of Flames.

I need to investigate if he’s that traitor.

So,

deliver a message for me,

saying...

Yes.

I wouldn’t have met you now

if it were not Childe Shangguan, who saved my life.

But I don’t understand,

why would you ascend the leader

when you know it will be arduous

and miserable for you to do so.

If you had left with me at that time,

you wouldn’t have suffered so much.

I have Muyuan

and the four guardians to protect me in the Hall of Flames.

If I leave with you,

what will happen to them?

All these years,

they have been protecting me and taking care of me,

without any complaints.

They do it for the goal

that one day, Hall of Flames

can make a comeback under my leadership.

You’ve burdened with too much responsibilities

that you shouldn’t share.

If your father knows in the heaven,

He

would only wish you happiness

and a peaceful life.

Uncle,

I know you love my so much.

But ever since my father passed away,

I am the leader of the Hall of Flames.

If I also leave,

who can protect the Hall of Flames?

You’re so responsible.

You’re even more responsible than me.

You flatter me.

You asked Childe Shangguan to protect me.

Actually,

he found me

before the Hero Assembly was held.

Along the way,

if it hadn’t been him who escorted me,

I wouldn’t have even known

how to cope with these accidents.

Hero Assembly.

That’s when your father and I

came to know each other.

It was like yesterday.

Who would compete with me?

I would.

And me.

I’m Lin Changran.

I am Yuwen Yupan.

[Yuwen Muyuan’s Father, Yuwen Yupan]

I am Chong Ye of Hall of Flames.

Back then, the Hall of Flames

was invincible in the whole world.

But since your father passed away,

staying at the Hall of Flames makes me so sad.

That’s why I never come back.

You’ve been my only care

since I came to the Moon Valley.

So I asked Tou to protect you.

What a surprise

that he didn’t disappoint me.

All these years,

the Hall of Flames

has been bearing the attack from all sects.

Except for Sword Manor,

all the other sects

always want to wipe out

our Hall of Flames.

I don’t understand.

We’ve done

what can be done

to make amends in the last 5 years.

Why

would they treat us like that?

You shouldn’t be blamed

for the sins of the Hall of Flames.

Your father was obsessed by martial arts

and was a master of it.

He mastered Nine Moves of Lotus God.

But he didn’t know

the two manuals of Lotus Wind are complementary.

He only practiced the moves

but neglected the inner cultivation of the Lotus Sutra.

That’s why he went crazy

and killed people.

Then he...

Then what?

Your father was noble and benevolent.

He can’t forgive himself

after he was conscious.

So

he killed himself for his sins.

Xuezhi.

Uncle.

I’m fine.

I’m

no longer that little girl anymore.

The tie between your father and you

is like that between your father and the Hall of Flames.

The grudges in the world

is so complicated and troublesome.

The more you’re involved,

the more you’ll be restrained

the less freedom you’ll get.

I got it.

I

will let it go.

There is still some time before the Weapon Ranking Convention.

Since you’re here,

let’s enjoy our days here.

Put the matters of the Hall of Flames aside.

We’ll discuss them later.

I’ll ask Tou

to show you around the Moon Valley.

There are many landscapes here

in the Moon Valley

that you can’t see at outside.

Childe Shangguan,

Moon Valley is so quaint.

Every leaf and branch

seems so sophisticated.

I would lose my way

if you were not here to escort me.

You’re welcome, Ms. Chong.

Make yourself home.

I wonder how the Hall of Flames is now.

There are rumors about my whereabouts.

Muyuan and others must be worried about me.

Ms. Chong.

Have you ever thought

that the one you trust the most

may be the one who would betray you?

What do you mean?

With all due respect,

according to my assertion,

Yuwen Muyuan

may be the traitor

of the Hall of Flames.

Impossible.

We grew up together.

He’s like a big brother to me.

You may not believe in him.

But I know it clearly,

that Muyuan will never do anything bad

to me

or to the Hall of Flames.

Ms. Chong.

You’ve heard of the rumors.

Once your fake death was released,

Yuwen Muyuan ascended himself

the leader of the Hall of Flames.

It was so soon, don’t you think?

We can see from it

that he benefited the most from it.

Obviously,

he is the biggest suspect.

Childe Shangguan.

You don’t know him.

He’s the most upright and frank person

I’ve ever seen.

And I know him better than anyone.

Anyone can be the traitor

except him.

I won’t believe a single word

of those rumors.

I got it.

Ms. Chong.

Cats hide their claws.

Yuwen Muyuan is a talent of martial arts.

How can you assert

that he’s willing to remain inferior?

What if he intends to rob your position?

He is not that kind of person.

He won’t take advantage of me.

And he promised

that our Hall of Flames will make a comeback with his assistance.

He never

eats his words.

We’ll see

if he is innocent.

I hope you’re right about him.

Let’s go.

I’ll show you around.

Childe Shangguan.

What’s wrong with these animals?

They’re injured

but rescued by Mr. Yin Ci.

Mr. Yin Ci?

Right.

Mr. Yin Ci

is the best physician in the valley,

who is a master of herbs.

But

he is an eccentric.

I don’t think you’ll like him.

I haven’t met him.

How do you know I won’t?

You can tell when you meet him.

Let’s go.

You must be Mr. Yin.

[Herbal Medicine Master of Moon Valley, Yin Ci]

Were those animals rescued by you?

Rescue?

That’s not my business.

Then...

What will you do to them?

I was planning

to cook them.

If so,

why would you rescue them

rather than kill them all?

Who are you?

I am...

This is

the Young Master of the Hall of Flames,

Chong Xuezhi.

Ms. Chong.

Do you know

how many kinds of poisons in the world?

I have no idea.

Over a thousand.

Then do you know

how many kinds of herbs can detox the poisons?

I have no idea, either.

Only over a hundred.

Among over a hundred kinds of remedies,

there are 27 kinds

were discovered by me.

It’s their credits

that I can discover those 27 remedies.

So you’re not saving them

but testing on them?

It’s the best for them

to sacrifice their lives to save ours.

But your remedies

were gained at the expense of their lives.

Don’t you think it too cruel for them?

Mr. Yin?

Who do you think you are?

Are you lecturing me?

Calm down, Mr. Yin.

Ms. Chong is a green hand

and she doesn’t know your tests.

Please forgive her.

I’m afraid the number of the people she’s met

is much less than that cured by me.

You’re right.

Mr. Yin.

Actually,

I’m here to ask for your Poison Immune Pill.

What?

Poison Immune Pill.

Impossible.

Ms. Chong is a noble guest for us.

I’ll get it to her.

This pill was handed down

from Lin

when the valley was built.

There is no second one.

How can you give it to others?

Mr. Yin.

I know the Poison Immune Pill

is a treasure for you,

but please hand it down to me

since I’m the leader of the valley.

You can’t make a decision.

You can’t.

This pill

is our most valuable treasure.

You can’t find a second one anywhere.

How can you give it to others?

Mr. Yin.

I said no.

I would rather give it to the birds

than give it to her.

Go now. Go. Go.

Go away.

Leave me alone. Go.

I’ll get it next time.

Go. Go. Go.

Ridiculous.

Ms. Chong.

Please don’t think too much.

You were right about me.

I don’t like that Mr. Yin.

He tests on the animals

for saving lives.

Those injured animals

were saved from the mouths of wild beasts.

He cures them

to improve his cultivation on medicine.

Come. Come with me.

What is this place?

This is

where I live.

Your taste

is indeed excellent.

We came back in a rush.

I haven’t made any preparations.

If you don’t mind,

You

can stay temporarily at this room.

Stay here?

Then where will you stay at?

I have somewhere to stay.

It’s the first time

that I’ve ever stayed in a man’s room.

Make yourself comfortable.

You’ll get used to it

if you stay long.

Take a good rest.

I have some errands to run.

I’ll leave you alone.

Leader.

How is it going?

I failed.

I’ll take punishment.

It’s not your fault.

You can never track Xuezhi down

if she

doesn’t want you to.

Leader.

Do you have other plans?

You can leave now.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Where can I find your leader?

He never tells us his whereabouts.

I don’t know either.

Then which room does he stay at?

The whole valley is his.

He can stay wherever he likes.

You’ll never know.

Mr. Yin.

Mr. Yin.

Is Childe Shangguan in?

I told you

he’s not here.

He’s the leader

not a doctor.

Why would he come here?

He’s not here!

But I’ve turned the whole valley

upside down.

He must be in your place.

Don’t try to trick me.

You’re just trying to steal my Poison Immune Pill.

I’m not!

I have something to ask him.

What is it?

I...

I said something.

What about this?

If you see him,

please tell him

that I’ll be waiting at his room.

Tell him? Tell him?

What exactly do you want me to tell him?

Tell me where you will be waiting.

Never mind. Forget it.

Where will you be waiting?

See? You asked for it.

This lady friend invited here by you

makes you so annoyed.

Please don’t tease Ms. Chong

like this anymore.

She’s the dearest daughter of Mr. Lin anyway.

Dearest daughter?

She’s so reckless

and never wears make-up.

I don’t think she is dear at all.

I think it’s good for her.

My pill!

You, the leader of the valley,

steal my pill?

Mr. Yin.

Do you intend to

rob it

from my hands?

What’s more,

it belongs to Mr. Lin.

Fine.

Unlucky me.

You can have it.

Give it to you lady friend.

Go now.

Thank you for giving it to me.

Later!

Leader.

Ms. Chong ran towards the main hall to find you.

Tell everyone.

Treat her well

wherever she goes.

Never give her a cold shoulder.

Yes.

Oh, right.

When will the purchase guy go out?

He just finished it

and won’t be out until next month.

Do you need to buy anything?

I do need a couple of things.

Uncle.

You’re still up?

I can’t fall in sleep.

So I came to see you.

Xuezhi.

Do you know why this place is called Moon Valley?

See?

The water is like a mirror

with the moon underneath

and the valley above.

That’s why.

The moon is bright.

The beauty is gorgeous.

Her figure is graceful.

I am obsessed with her.

Xuezhi.

Do you have anything in your mind?

You know it.

I can’t hide anything from you.

Of course.

It’s all written on your face.

Of course I know.

And

I think

it has something to do with a guy.

Uncle.

You’re a big girl now.

I’m so happy about it.

You can tell me about it

if you have anything disturbing you.

Maybe,

I can offer some suggestions.

Uncle.

Tell me,

what is it like falling in love with someone?

I don’t know the answer.

Love

can not be explained with a few words.

No wonder.

You were so young

when I left the Hall of Flames.

I’ve never mentioned this to you.

Before,

I saw Hongxiu and Zhongtao

at Winehouse of Fairyland.

I was quite jealous.

Zhongtao said

that Hongxiu

is his only love in this life.

Uncle.

Have you ever loved

any girl in your life?

I loved one.

But I lost her

due to some mistakes of the heaven.

Xuezhi.

You’re the best girl in the world

and I’m so proud of you.

I should tell you

some things.

But I don’t want you to

regret it in the future.

If you have someone in mind,

and he also loves you,

you should

pursue your true love

and fight for it.

Time flies so fast

and this world can be so changeable.

Maybe in the end,

you can’t get what you really want.

But as long as you have done what you should,

you’ll not regret it.

More importantly,

you’ll come to realize it gradually

what kind of person

you want yourself to be

after this relationship.

Then...

Then what should I do?

Patience. You have to be patient.

Time will leave you the best things,

but something must be accomplished right away.

Because you’ll miss it in the waiting.

Waiting or not is a kind of chance.

You’ll be so regretful

if you miss it.

Got it?

After Chong Xuezhi’s funeral,

Zhusha and Liuli went out discreetly.

They searched for something

at the cliff Chong Xuezhi fell down.

Have they found anything?

No idea.

But I think

they’re still searching for Chong Xuezhi.

Can Chong Xuezhi be alive?

Did you see it yourself

that she was torn apart by wild animals?

No, I didn’t.

I didn’t see it with my own eyes.

Damn it.

Keep a close eye on the leader and the three guardians.

Chong Xuezhi may be alive.

I can’t let her come back to the Hall of Flames.

Yes. Master.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my room?

Greetings, Ms. Chong.

I’m one of the disciples.

I’m here to deliver something to you

according to Childe Shangguan’s order.

What are these?

He’s so thoughtful.

Excuse me.

Where is Childe Shangguan?

He left in the early morning.

I don’t know where he is now.

Is this his clothes?

Are you drying his clothes?

Yes.

I have free time now.

I can do it for you.

No. No. No.

You’re our noble guest.

I can’t let you do such chores. Let me do it.

Your leader told me

to make myself home.

What’s the matter

with me doing chores at home?

I can do it.

Let go.

Go away.

Childe Shangguan.

Here you are.

Thank you, Ms. Chong.

One of your clothes is broken.

Then throw it away.

I never wear the broken clothes.

That will be a waste.

Ms. Chong,

did you do such chores

back in your Hall of Flames?

I didn’t.

I have servants

and never have to do these.

You should never do such chores

given that you’re the leader.

If Mr. Lin knows about it,

he’ll scold me for it.

Then I’ll stop it, okay?

It’s late.

Go to bed.
