Original subtitles

Master.

I don’t understand

why you are in these outfits.

It’s alright.

Forget it.

It’s bad to be involved

in official matters.

I already regretted it.

It’s very tiring

just to enter the city,

let alone

the arduous journey to come here.

Your debt with Fangwai Valley

goes away now, since the painting is returned.

Stop complaining, Chief Wen.

It’s a good deal for you.

It is.

Thanks, Brother Zuo.

Anyway, are you not going to tell me

about the matter between you and Duke Jing An’s Mansion?

For the past two months,

I’ve been trying

to connect the dots every time I think of Brother Zuo.

We need to leave immediately.

I’m sure you have something arranged.

It’s easy to come in,

but it’s a different story to go out.

The story of your journey

is really exciting.

Disciples of Zhengyang and

the Flying Bandit risked their lives

to protect you.

Because of that,

I’ll have to negotiate

another deal with you for leaving Tuozhou.

Chief Wen.

I have no money.

Is it inappropriate

to talk about money now?

Don’t tell me that you see me as a businessman?

Aren’t you?

It hurts me

that you would think of me that way.

Pack up.

We leave at once.

[For Brother Yan Zhi]

It’s been ten years since you left.

Father misses you.

He often recalls his memory with you.

He hopes that he can dream of you to relieve his sadness from missing you.

Take care.

From your sister, Qing.

Master.

Do you think that

Flying Bandit looks strange just now?

She doesn’t dare to look at you in the eye.

What did you do

with her tonight?

Nothing much.

We just had a chat.

You fell for her?

Master.

My gut tells me

that she’s not into you.

My silly apprentice.

What are you saying?

Because it’s impossible.

Is your master that bad?

Master.

I really don’t think much of you.

You are so poor.

She is a bandit.

A single loot of hers

is worth more than your pay

for ten years.

Is it because I’m poor?

Yes.

Master.

I’ve told you before.

People like you

should find

a down-to-earth nurse at the valley

and live with her forever.

Master.

Midnight.

Shijun Pavilion. Meeting of son and dad.

Master.

What’s going on?

Go.

Bring my clothes.

Alright.

[Love in Between]

[Episode 8]

[Duke Jing An’s Mansion]

Chief Wen.

I’ll find a suitable time to

spread news of your contributions

to the underworld.

It’s fine.

It’s enough to just keep your promise.

People of Zhengyang

shouldn’t be involved

in official matters anyway.

How do we leave?

Don’t worry.

I’ve made arrangements.

This might be a dangerous journey.

Flying Bandit, do protect Brother Zuo.

Young Warrior Yin, I leave Bai Mo under your care.

Leave at once.

Master.

Let’s go.

[Shijun Pavilion, Tuozhou]

Zhi Er.

You are already dead.

Don’t get involved in this world anymore

and don’t ever come back.

I’ll repay my debt with you

and your mom in the next life.

I’m leaving.

Where are you going?

Capital City.

I’m going with you.

I’m busy.

Busy with?

I thought that we have no more secrets between us.

It’s my personal problem.

Return to your master for treatment.

Yun Luo.

Duke Jing An returned to his mansion.

He didn’t meet anyone.

Commander, should we pursue him?

No.

I have my plans.

This is an important matter.

We’ll report this to the duke

when we return to Capital City tomorrow.

Everyone is safe

and the painting was found.

Can you tell me where is Crane Tail now?

Yes,

but do think twice

if you decide to go.

I have no choice.

Tian Du Summit.

Zhengyang Palace.

Everyone,

let’s take a break at this pavilion.

The journey must be hard on you,

Chief.

Let me give you a massage.

Ling Xi is so considerate.

What a pervert.

Miss Shen, you want to say something to me?

I think you are the one who has something to tell me.

Thanks for reminding me.

I did

forget about it.

Over the past two months,

Shan Shui Du Fraction keeps hearing rumors

about Shang Wan’s whereabouts.

I’ve sent someone

to investigate and verify the rumors

every time.

Unfortunately,

they were all dead ends.

I don’t have a single clue.

You don’t know where Shang Wan is.

You lied intentionally. You’re dishonest.

Miss Shen, that’s wrong.

This doesn’t mean that

I won’t know about it in the future.

Shan Shui Du Fraction always

finds who we want.

Don’t be anxious.

Senior.

Don’t be angry.

Thanks to Chief Wen,

we’re able to recover

the painting from Chiyan Desert

and save the people.

However,

I think Chief Wen is at fault too.

You should tell us,

when you reached a dead end,

so we don’t keep our hopes high.

Yes.

You are correct.

Let me apologize to Miss Shen.

We’ll reach Jingji,

after we pass through the forest.

The bustling city

can’t compare with the frontier.

There’s a Shan Shui Du Fraction branch there.

I have the best Bamboo Leaf Wine there.

Let’s have a drink

together with Young Warrior Zhu,

if you don’t mind.

Sure.

Thank you, Chief Wen.

No, thank you.

I appreciate your offer,

but we need to go back and prepare

for our master’s return.

We’re too busy to drink.

You should drink considerately too.

It’s bad for your health.

Zhu Yan.

You don’t seem happy.

Because someone abandoned us

and left without saying a word.

The quinquennial Sword Congress will be held

in a few days.

Don’t you want to watch it?

Every martial arts expert will be there.

People like Warrior Murong

will go as well.

Can I join

it too?

Why not?

Return to Zhengyang Palace

with me and let me ask uncle about it.

I’ll say that

you’re my best brother out here.

See if he can do anything to help you.

Will I become a warrior

if I become the champion?

Become a champion?

That will be difficult,

since I will be your opponent.

Furthermore,

Young Warrior Mu Ying

will join too.

Don’t be afraid

if you face him.

I’ll ask him to give you

a handicap.

He’ll be my brother-in-law soon.

I’ll ask him to give you a close fight.

Brother-in-law?

Young Warrior Zhu is unaware

that there’s a marriage arrangement between Miss Shen

and Mu’s Clan’s Mu Ying.

Mu Ying is handsome and highly skilled in martial arts.

They are perfect for each other.

A match made in heaven.

I think Young Warrior Yin has

a better chance of becoming the champion of this year’s Sword Congress.

I shall take my leave now.

Flying Bandit left without a word.

Why are you leaving as well

when we just arrived.

Yes, Doctor Zuo.

There’s still poison in you.

Come with us to

Tian Du Summit if you don’t mind.

There are the elder

who specialize in medicine.

Miss Shen

had an exhausting journey for the past 2 months.

Since I did nothing to help

and even required your protection,

I don’t wish to trouble you anymore.

There is a long time ahead,

I’ll definitely help both of you

whenever you need me in the future.

Doctor Zuo.

We’ve been through thick and thin,

let’s not talk about debts and favors.

We got the painting thanks to your wisdom.

Just look for us

at Zhengyang Palace,

if you have any trouble in the underworld.

Sure.

Farewell.

Master.

Where do we go next?

Fangwai Valley.

My master is coming to realisation.

Chief Wen.

Let’s say our goodbyes here.

Hold on. Miss Shen.

I’m

also heading to Zhengyang Palace.

Why are you heading there?

This time, you both suffered a lot,

because I

asked you to go to Chiyan Desert,

You will be heavily punished

by the elder when they find out.

So I decided to go to Zhengyang Palace to give

an explanation.

Chief Wen.

We helped you retrieve

the painting out of justice.

It’s not against our elders’ teachings.

Our master will only tell us to

think twice before acting

and not be rash at most.

He’ll not give us a heavy punishment.

You are correct, however...

You must be worried about yourself.

You sent both of us to face

the Three Devils of Snow City

without Zhengyang Palace’s permission.

Miss Shen is intelligent.

This is not

something worth explaining to my master.

Do you think that he

wouldn’t know that you’re a businessman?

This is just

another good business for you.

Miss Shen.

Being pretty is good,

but bearing a grudge

is bad.

Farewell.

Still going to Zhengyang Palace?

Are we still going there?

Yes.

[Duke Wei Ning’s Mansion]

Duke, Lord Shen is here.

Let him in.

I failed you.

Please punish me.

Those who

come to me and ask for punishment at this time

were all just putting up an act.

Duke is observant.

I just want to make amends for my mistake.

Please forgive me.

Tell me.

What did you find?

I found out that

the ones who returned the painting are martial art experts.

To find out their identities,

I set the trap of Yan Qing

and made a huge discovery.

I found out that

there’s a weak man

mixing among

these itinerants.

I believe

he is an important person

since he was well protected.

So, I found some clues.

I discovered

that he is Duke Jing An’s son who passed away,

Yan Zhi.

Stand up.

Do you know

what you are talking about?

Everything I just said is the truth.

When did Yan Zhi pass away?

When he was 12.

The year when Emperor Ai got captured.

Emperor Ai?

Didn’t you want to find the whereabouts

of Emperor Ai?

Something fishy must be going on

since Duke Jing An hid his son.

Perhaps we can find Emperor Ai.

Ten years ago,

I tried my best to make Emperor Ai inherit the throne.

However, he was

captured by the Guzi clan,

when he was moving south.

The stubborn Duke Jing An

ignored my 12 orders and

withheld his troops,

causing Emperor Ai to die at the front line.

Yang Ting Guang used this as an opportunity

for the current emperor to inherit the empire.

Somehow the corpse of Emperor Ai

hasn’t been found yet.

Do you also think that

Emperor Ai is still alive,

and Duke Jing An is the one who planned all of this?

If Emperor Ai is really alive,

it’ll be troublesome for the current regime.

These stubborn fools

hindered your great cause.

They don’t deserve to exist in this empire.

I’ll definitely find Emperor Ai

through Yan Zhi for you

and accomplish your cause.

The Guzi clan seems anxious recently.

They sent a call to arms to the northern border tribes.

They felt embarrassed

after losing the painting.

Rumors said that

there’ll be

movements in 2 months

Tuozhou will be the first to bear the brunt.

Duke,

do you have any plans?

Don’t give Duke Jing An

any reinforcements.

Rush back to Tuozhou immediately,

after you arrange his son’s investigation.

Cooperate with Lv Shou from within

and pin the crime

of rebellion on this stubborn old fool.

[Will work with Guzi Clan to cause chaos to Northern Jing]

Yes.

Don’t worry.

I’ll bring Duke Jing An back to the Capital City

and I’ll make him

apologize to you.

Remember.

Be careful when you

investigate about Emperor Ai.

Emperor Xiao Ming

is not an easy opponent.

I understand.

[Guzi clan keeps invading the border] [Requesting for reinforcements]

Duke Jing An keeps asking

for reinforcements.

Will I still be controlled by

my subordinates if I can send him reinforcements?

Duke Wei Ning is

trying to use Guzi clan’s invasion

to chase Duke Jing An out of Beijiang.

It’s natural for Duke Jing An

to feel threatened.

[Weixi]

Weixi?

What does it mean?

If my guess is correct,

I think Duke Jing An is trying to request for

King Weixi’s troops.

Duke Jing An can see things ahead.

Duke Wei Ning is ambitious.

He thought that Beijiang is the last place

that he needs to conquer among

the 8 states and 32 counties

but he forgot that

there’s still a place

called Weixi on Your Majesty’s territory.

Weixi is a place without war.

Think about it.

If King Weixi is ambitious,

he will hide his abilities

and keep strong men as troops,

so Your Majesty can use them.

Tuozhou is brave, Weixi is tame.

Tuozhou needs

to be defended, Weixi will also be used by me in the future.

Commander.

The one who fought with me

used an unknown martial arts style.

I need to investigate it further in the underworld.

There is an opportunity recently though.

I can bring some men to have a look.

Tell me.

The alliance headed by Zhengyang Palace

will hold

the quinquennial Sword Congress next month.

Every person from the underworld

will attend the congress.

Start investigating there.

Remember.

He is an important person.

Be discreet.

Don’t be rash and alert the enemy.

Understood.

[Fangwai Valley]

Young valley master is back.

Let’s go.

First,

don’t tell people where I’ve been.

Second,

don’t tell people whom I’ve met.

Third,

if Master asks what I’ve been doing,

you just need to tell him that I was busy

treating people.

As long as you are healthy

and take your medicine.

Young valley master. You’re finally back.

Good boy.

Young valley master is back.

That’s great.

Young valley master.

Young valley master is back.

Young valley master.

Young valley master.

Where’s my master?

He is making medicine at Liuan Lake.

Go back to your work.

Alright.

Give me.

Lightly.

[Tian Du Summit, Zhengyang Palace]

No view can compare with Tian Du Summit.

I can finally see it today.

I’ve been here for a few times,

but I’m never sick of the view here.

How can a countryside girl like me

compare with

the knowledgeable chief who has been around.

Ling Xi, you are such a sweet talker.

It’s all thanks to you.

The sun is shining brightly.

It’s really hot.

Are you tired?

Do you need a break?

The road ahead will be tougher.

It’s better to leave here

with Miss Ling Xi and stop following us

if you’re tired.

Miss Shen, I think you misunderstood.

Both of us were just stopping

because we were drawn in

by the view of Tian Du Summit.

It’s so wonderful that you and Young Warrior Yin

get to stay here for life.

Waking up to the clouds and sleeping under the stars.

We are envious.

Oh.

Where is Young Warrior Yin and Young Warrior Zhu?

It’s Zhu Yan’s first time here.

He took Chang Ge away to look around.

How could

Chang Ge be so playful?

Uncle Xiu will be mad.

That’s alright.

They are young.

Don’t worry because I’m here.

Elder Xiu won’t trouble them.

[Fangwai Acupuncture]

[Thousand Golden Prescriptions]

Master.

Why did you take everything out?

Take your medicine.

You’re being

disrespectful since you came back.

How dare you order me around?

Help me look for something.

What is it?

I should prepare a gift,

since I’m meeting her.

Her? Who is she?

Su Yun Luo.

She kidnapped me when I was young.

I’m talking about Flying Bandit.

Don’t tell anyone.

She’s

the robber?

Nonsense.

She has a job.

She’s a bandit.

Didn’t she just leave?

Where are you meeting her?

I don’t know.

How are you meeting her then?

Master.

Why prepare a gift when it’s not

your first time meeting her?

She can’t think that

Fangwai Valley is poor.

Furthermore,

you told me about preparing a gift

when meeting a lady.

But we are actually poor.

We are poor but we can still be ambitious.

How much is this worth?

Not this.

It’s drawn by an artist from the last era.

It’s already

a family heirloom now.

This one will do.

Not this either.

You’ll be punished

if grand master finds it out.

This one then.

Not for sale.

This is not for sale.

What is not for sale?

Grand master.

Master.

You’ve got some nerve.

I asked Bai Mo to hide it from you.

I’m afraid to tell you.

Your poison has relapsed for some time,

yet you only come back now?

The itinerants were

generous to give you the title of Walls of Tian Du

and both of you thought you are warriors?

Uncle.

I was wrong.

Chief Wen.

Immortal Jin Xu’s rule is to never

get involved with matters of the imperial court.

We can’t allow

the young ones to do as they please since there’s such a rule.

Elder Jin is right.

I did not

think thoroughly in this matter,

but

[Elder Xiu Yu Gu]

[Elder of Zhengyang Palace] only these young warriors

are willing

to lend a hand even though martial arts experts are everywhere.

It’s easy to see

that both of them are righteous

and will be the future of the generation.

Furthermore,

this journey is filled with dangers,

which could not be handled by any normal person.

We won’t be able to return the painting if it wasn’t for

the intelligence

and ability of the Walls of Tian Du.

I’ve been thinking.

If this journey is spread

across the alliance,

it will definitely

increase the reputation of Zhengyang Palace.

Chief Wen.

The alliance has been peaceful for the past 10 years because

no one has interfered with other matters.

It might be a small matter for Chief Wen,

but people of Zhengyang Palace

never break the rule.

It’s a taboo to even talk about

imperial court matters. Let alone spreading it to increase

our reputation.

Elder Xiu, calm down.

I came here

to apologize for

both of them.

I hope you both can forgive them

for the sake of Shan Shui Du Fraction.

How about it?

This...

The elder,

if you forgive them both,

I’ll tell you about

whereabouts of Shang Wan from the Seven Robbers of Yun Dang

to show my sincerity.

What do you think about that?

Shang Wan?

I’m sure

this information interests you.

Chief Wen,

we will never

let this devil go.

Chang Ge.

You got a lot of nerve.

Luckily, your master’s still in training.

Otherwise, you’ll be punished.

You too.

Enough.

Let’s not talk about

this within the clan again

to keep their reputation intact.

-Yes, uncle. -Yes, uncle.

The Sword Congress will be held soon.

Chief Wen.

Why don’t you stay here for a while since you’re attending?

Let me do the honors as the host of Zhengyang.

Thanks for your invitation.

I’ll be in your care then.

Don’t mention it.

Both of you,

meditate every day

at the Cliff of Remorse

for three and a half hours from tomorrow at sunrise.

Reflect on your mistakes.

You may leave.

Yes.

Chief Wen, take a seat.

Master.

She’s the one

who kidnapped me when I was young.

You don’t blame her

for kidnapping you

and end up falling for her instead.

You are really

someone unique.

Of course.

I won’t simply fall for anybody.

I can’t remember what’s her name at all.

Su Yun Luo.

Su Yun Luo?

Can you tell me about the medicine

that she requested from you

in the past?

You can’t leave again,

now that you have returned.

Why do you want to know about that?

Please tell me details about the past.

Why did she come and go away?

What happened to her?

These are worth more

than my life.

Grandpa Gui.

[Ten years ago] Please save my master.

[Ten years ago] Please save my master.

Actually,

your master was poisoned by Sal’s Dream Poison.

He still has a slight chance to wake up provided that

he did not use any internal force after he was poisoned.

Here.

Get up, kid.

Now that

the poison

has gone into all his nerves,

I can only use this method

to clear part of the poison from his body.

He’ll still be

mentally deranged

and act like a lunatic.

It might be more painful for him to live like that.

It’s better for him to die now.

No.

My master wants to live.

Don’t have your hopes up.

He can only live

for ten years at most even if he survives.

I’ll definitely wake my master up.

It’s impossible for him

to wake up on his own.

Unless...

you gathered the eight medicines.

What is that?

Jade Orchid.

Dark Lethargyrum.

Wind Tabasheer. Red-eyed Vine.

Chinese Stachyurus. Buddha’s Drops,

Crane Tail. Ceylon Star Leaf.

Each of them is a rare medicine.

Some people spent a lifetime

and ended up finding none of them.

I’ll definitely find them.

You don’t have to come and look for me anymore

if you still can’t find them after 10 years.

Just find a casket

and bury him instead.

She has been gathering those medicines

for all these years.

Surprisingly,

she’s still alive.

I wonder how many medicines she has gathered.

Master.

Do you know where to find them?

I don’t know.

Except for one, Crane Tail.

This medicine

seems close to her,

but she will never obtain it.

Crane Tail?

Where is it?

Zhengyang Palace.

Does she have a grudge with Zhengyang Palace?

I’m sure you heard about Su Xuan, the Sword Demon.

He is Su Yun Luo’s master,

a famous martial arts expert in the underworld

and also Zhengyang Palace’s successor.

According to rumors,

he killed his own master,

massacred many people at Cross Fang Valley

and became every righteous clan’s enemy.

Su Yun Luo is certain that her master is a good person

and gathered the medicines for 10 years.

Su Yun Luo’s master

is a traitor of Zhengyang Palace.

But he still lives.

He is suffering.

It’s for almost ten years.

His situation

will only get worse.

Su Yun Luo’s wounds are probably caused by

Su Xuan’s sword aura when he went mad.

Su Xuan is Zhengyang Palace’s enemy.

Same goes for his disciple.

You hid the location of

Crane Tail from her,

because you knew what would happen.

Exactly.
