[♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔ Episode 2]

You are not Madam Jin.

Shanhai Gang's insolent chap.

Don't you dare run away.

[Shanhai Gang?]

[So you're here?]

[The Sun Streamer Swordplay?]

[This lady...]

Xifan.

You are attacking a lady.

I'm afraid that's inappropriate.

[How did someone from Shanhai Gang finds his way here?]

Only the invincible Shanhai Gang

[can tide you over.]

Xifan.

[They can't defeat Shanhai Gang.]

Xifan. This is a serious situation.

-How can you not save Madam Jin? -Xifan.

You can't catch me.

Your skills are pretty good.

But you are not that smart.

Shanhai Badge will only get you killed.

The man whose Shanhai Badge was taken,

how long do you think he'll survive?

That's impossible.

Throughout the ages,

martial arts practitioner can only master five souls at most.

There has never been anyone who has mastered six souls.

What monster are you?

This monster...

It was created by Shanhai Gang.

[Disturbances in the three realms]

[are like a burning mansion.]

Only the invincible Shanhai Gang

can tide you over.

It's you.

You're the one that our master

has been searching for three years.

The Awakener with the unity of six souls.

Do you know

how badly our master wanted to find you?

Since I managed to escape,

I won't be caught by you again.

Stop right there.

[This is...]

[The souls power is disappearing soon.]

[I have to get the silver taels quickly.]

Madam Jin.

Madam Jin.

Madam Jin, are you all right?

Master Guo.

You're finally here to save me.

I was so frightened.

Madam Jin, I'm Zhao Xifan.

Zhao...

Listen, Mr. Zhao.

Here in Chenqiao Town,

as long as you're around to protect us,

I feel especially safe.

Unlike your Master Guo.

He is such a coward.

From now on...

Dispose of the bullies and assist the weak.

That is what I should do.

Speaking of which, I just recalled

-that just now, I... -Xifan!

Xifan!

The bandits are taken down by Su Tang.

What about their valuables?

The valuables are still here.

He will come again.

Xifan.

Smart move.

Lu Ping, are you all right?

That man was from Shanhai Gang.

Don't worry.

Outsiders are easy to tackle.

It's our people that's troublesome.

However, Su Tang,

next time, don't be too harsh on them.

It won't be good if you kill him.

[Xifan.]

-Xifan. -Xifan, wake up.

-Xifan. -Wake up, Xifan.

Xifan.

Where is the God of Bandits?

He left.

What are you laughing at?

Xifan. Your face...

Take a look in the mirror.

Xifan.

Did you just get back?

Master has cooked chicken as a treat.

It will get cold if you don't eat up.

Lu Ping.

Lu Ping.

You were on watch duty today.

What did you keep watch on?

I did keep watch.

After a while, I got hungry.

You said you would be back in two hours.

Who knew that you were still away after the sun has set?

I thought you attended the wedding.

Do you know that due to your negligence,

something terrible almost happened?

-Exactly. -"Something terrible"?

What's so terrible?

Every one of you looks fine.

Lu Ping.

If you had given us a heads-up,

Xifan wouldn't be injured by the God of Bandits.

Even without any soul power,

you should at least have common sense?

-Exactly. -That's right.

-It's your fault. -It's all your fault.

You have no common sense at all.

-Exactly. -Seriously.

You were hurt?

Are you all right?

That God of Bandits is too mean.

-He even drew on Xifan's face. -That's enough!

Yes. It's my fault.

It's my fault.

I made Xifan embarrass himself.

Fine.

I dare you to eat.

You show no remorse at all!

-This... -The drumstick...

Xifan.

Let's be reasonable.

When I told you I would cause trouble if I carried out with the mission,

you and Master insisted that I went.

If you didn't insist on competing against that God of Bandits,

could you have lost today?

What's so bad about being like a turtle?

If we learn to hide like it does,

we might even get to live longer.

You're hopeless!

Xifan.

Xifan!

You haven't had dinner yet!

Are we eating or not?

Let's eat.

Eat up.

-Let's eat. -Here, take a seat.

Here.

Give me one.

I'm starving.

Don't fight over it.

That jerk!

You humiliated me today.

I'll never let you off!

Ling Ziyan!

Where are you?

Move it!

Go on, move!

You ran pretty fast just now.

Why won't you budge now?

What the heck is this place?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Come here.

-Come here. -Give it to me.

Let me take a look.

Who is this?

Isn't this...

Isn't this the pretty little thing

who was marrying me instead of Madam Jin?

Madam Jin was afraid that she's not good enough for you,

so she sent me instead.

This is my family heirloom.

It's a gift for my husband.

Let's see how I deal with you today.

Come!

Bring her down.

Wei Ming!

Wei Ming!

Where on earth is he?

I can't walk anymore!

[Help!]

[Help!]

Hold on!

Let me take a look.

I dare you to touch me.

Touch you?

I'll touch you if I want.

Get lost!

Get lost!

-Don't touch me. -Madam Jin said she wanted

-to put on an act with me. -Get lost!

It ended up getting my Chuanyun Fort

-destroyed by Zhaifeng Institute. -Get lost!

-Put me down! -The few of us will vent it out on you.

Let me take a look.

Leader.

You'd better behave when I play nice.

Tie her legs together.

You...

Who exactly are you?

Miss, are you all right?

I'm the first disciple of Chan State's martial arts academy,

Wei Tianqi.

Who are you?

In broad daylight, how dare you...

Who is it?

Beat him up!

Who is hitting me?

Do you know who my father is?

Who cares who your father is?

I'm your grandfather!

Beat him up!

Wei Ming!

Beat him up!

Darn you!

-Kick him! -Wei Ming!

Leader.

Leader.

Ziyan.

Miss, are you all right?

Where have you been?

Where did all of you go?

Although I can take on ten men,

I can't fend off scoundrels who sneaked up on me.

Sir.

-Didn't you tell us not to follow you? -You...

Mr. Wei.

Are you all right?

Don't worry, miss.

I am fine.

I wonder if you're hurt?

We'll take our leave.

Hold on.

Miss.

We just met for the first time today,

but we overcame a threat to our lives.

This isn't just any ordinary fate.

Chan State is not far from here.

I wonder if you'll come with me

to rest for a few days at my residence?

We have deer antlers, ginseng, and all sorts of medicine.

We'll take great care of you.

Chan State?

Wei Tianqi?

You're from Wei Zhong's family?

You know my father?

Since Mr. Wei has invited me with such hospitality,

I'll accept it graciously.

I'll arrange for a carriage.

You two, get a carriage ready.

-Miss. - Go.

-You're hurt. -Prepare some food.

Why don't you report to the General back in Kaifeng?

Let's not trouble my brother with such trivialities.

I can handle it.

Besides,

as for that rascal from Shanhai Gang who humiliated me,

I have to catch him and skin him myself,

to vent my anger.

Lu Ping.

Xifan cares the most about his dignity.

He treats you kindly as well.

What you did to him...

He's quite pitiful.

What is it?

Are you worried?

Are you upset?

I knew it.

You're at the age to fall in love.

Although Zhao Xifan often picks on me,

luckily he's good-looking.

He's not a bad person either.

He might not be good enough for you,

but he can get by.

When I'm gone,

you'll have someone to rely on.

No way! I'll follow you wherever you go.

My silly Su Tang.

You're not my real sister.

How can I make you waste away your life?

You'll get married someday.

As for me,

once I unlock these chains,

-I'll... -Lu Ping.

Osmanthus candy?

Don't change the topic.

We'll talk about the future later.

We've been busy all day.

Get some sleep soon.

[What's so bad about being like a turtle?]

If we learn to hide like it does,

we might even get to live longer.

[Didn't he leave earlier?]

[How did he know that]

[the God of Bandits drew a turtle on my face?]

[Could he be...]

[But that fellow can't even walk straight.]

[How can he possibly be...]

[The valiance of Zhaifeng]

I'm really down on luck today.

I'm nearly half dead.

Shanhai Gang...

They still found their way here.

Little one.

Come with me.

No.

No...

No!

You're injured.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

It's harder to keep you in the dark now.

Lu Ping.

You should have the osmanthus candy.

When I came in,

you were trembling all over.

You shouldn't have fled with me.

I got you into this mess.

You didn't.

Everyone thinks I'm protecting you.

But I know that...

you've always protected me.

Save Su Tang.

I've enjoyed the past three years.

A girl in her teens

doesn't even tremble upon hearing about killing someone.

How is that any good?

You shouldn't be leading such a life.

All the more, you shouldn't let a monster like me drag you down.

You're not a monster.

You're my godbrother.

Master Guo sounds harsh, but he's kind at heart.

Zhao Xifan isn't a bad person either.

It's pretty good for you here.

You don't have to spend your life on the run with me.

No way.

When you carried me on your back

out of Shanhai Gang that year,

you have become my real brother.

I'll cling to you for life.

Don't dream of leaving me behind.

Silly girl.

It hurts so much...

You're so ungrateful.

Are you trying to break my old bones?

You've deceived your mentor and betrayed your ancestors.

Master, as our mentor,

you are eavesdropping on us.

You're the one to talk.

Answer me.

Did you offend anyone from Shanhai Gang?

Master, you drink every day.

You must have had too much to drink.

You got it wrong.

I'm very sober.

Are you still trying to fool me?

If I were to know that you're a troublemaker,

I wouldn't bring you back so easily back then.

Listen up.

You're not welcome here anymore.

Move out quickly.

Move all of these out.

Get going.

Get lost.

Scram.

You have the cheek to tell me that?

If you didn't ask me for so much money,

I could have bought Zhaifeng Institute with what I paid you.

You're haggling with me?

You're getting even with me?

Fine, answer me.

Everything you ate and used in the past three years.

And your expenses. Are those included?

Also, there are the renovation fees for Zhaifeng Institute.

The repair fees of walls at the entrance...

I didn't even pin that on you.

How dare you haggle with me?

Are you joking?

Seriously.

Who threw that at me?

It's real gold.

It weighs at least two taels.

When did you get this?

During the fight at Chuanyun Fort,

I took it on the way out.

Su Tang.

Come here.

If only your godbrother

is a bit more diligent,

he could have paid off his debts sooner.

Then you won't have to work so hard.

If I take too much with me,

won't Xifan hate me even more?

You're overthinking.

Listen.

Pay off your debts sooner

and get out of here sooner.

Stop getting me into trouble.

Lu Ping.

Why is Master always like this?

He's always seizing the chance to drive you out,

but he never really did.

Even if he doesn't drive me away,

won't I have to leave as well?

When that man in black barged into Shanhai Gang

[and rescued us...]

[He even opened up a crack]

[in my Soul Confinement with his powers.]

Leave quickly.

You're the God of...

[The God of...]

Leave now!

Go!

Since we fled from Shanhai Gang,

[in the past three years,]

[I've pretended to be a bandit.]

[While I tackled those thieves for Zhaifeng Institute,]

[I also wanted to lure him out by using his namesake.]

During my investigation, I found out about someone

who was complimented as Inseparable Manifestation and Obscurity.

He knows everything about martial arts.

Three years ago, he had been to the north.

He lost all his powers after a battle with Shanhai Gang

and he's still wanted by them.

This man is Wen Gecheng.

Wen Gecheng.

He is very likely to be the bandit.

Are you sure

he can unlock your Soul Confinement?

Back then, he only opened up a crack

and I already managed to get a bit of the power of six souls.

Even if the chances of unlocking it are slim,

I have to give it a try.

Once these chains are broken off,

I will be free.

Lu Ping.

We've missed the opportunity.

Where will we go looking for Wen Gecheng?

On Wen Gecheng's carriage,

there's the same symbol in the front and at the back.

[That's not the emblem of Victorious Dragon Troop.]

I think I've seen it somewhere.

I remember it now.

It was on the fake Ruyu's sword.

That fake Ruyu spoke and acted

like someone from an aristocratic background.

Perhaps, through her,

we might find Wen Gecheng.

Where is she now?

She nearly took my pants off.

I left her hanging from a tree in a fit of anger.

There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.

It's all my fault. I panicked.

I acted carelessly.

Lu Ping.

Who exactly is that fake Ruyu?

Since she is of an aristocracy,

why is she in pursuit of Shanhai Gang on her own?

Who knows?

Even the Queen Mother of the West

has to tend to her injuries.

She couldn't have gone far.

She would have walked faster than you did.

Lu Ping.

If you wish to use your souls power again,

you'll have to wait for another half a month.

Who said I'll need to use the souls power to search for her?

I think that the badger game will work.

Su Tang.

When you can, ask Xifan out tomorrow

to the woods at the back of the hill.

Lu Ping.

Is this even the time to play matchmaker?

It's hard to search for someone,

but not a renown sword.

That young lady's sword is no ordinary sword.

I can't figure it out,

but Xifan is very knowledgeable.

He might recognize it.

Whether we can get him to tell us,

it's entirely up to you.

No way.

Su Tang.

If it works,

I'll buy all the osmanthus candies in the entire Chenqiao Town for you.

If so, I...

I'll think about it.

Xifan.

Sparring?

This way, please.

My son.

I've missed you.

Where are you hurt? Show me.

Father, that's enough.

Everyone is watching.

Don't make a fuss.

Did someone bully you?

Don't worry.

I'll send Wei Ming and the others to wipe them out.

Father.

I'm the first disciple of Chan State's martial arts academy.

You don't have to avenge me.

Besides,

Ms. Qin is still watching us.

Master Wei.

It has been a while.

Xifan.

Your gestures seem like this is your first time training with a blade.

Why haven't I seen you use one?

Blades don't suit me well.

Why do you suddenly want to practice swordplay?

I saw the fake Ruyu's swordplay,

so I practiced it from memory.

That woman was an imposter

and she was highly skilled.

Her whereabouts are unknown.

Xifan.

Aren't you curious about her identity?

Qin family's Sun Streamer Swordplay.

Although that young lady isn't at the highest level,

judging by her skills,

she would have to be Ms. Qin to get to that standard.

I can't be wrong about it.

Ms. Qin?

We're in trouble.

Chan State is remotely located.

There aren't many martial arts practitioners.

Please forgive us, Ms. Qin.

Ling Ziyan.

What's the punishment for withholding military information?

The general has given orders

that anyone who withholds military information

is to be beheaded in public.

Ms. Qin, please spare me!

I still have a young son to raise.

I'm willing to make it up to you at whatever the price.

Master Wei.

You should thank Shanhai Gang.

If it weren't that they have planted a mole in Chan State,

I wouldn't ask for your assistance.

By now, you should have been executed.

Shanhai Gang?

This man was in a mask.

He is extremely skilled in martial arts.

I suspect that the purpose of the man from Shanhai Gang

who infiltrated Fengling Gang,

is to meet up with him here.

Before I find him,

I won't leave Chan State.

[Three years ago]

Lu Ping. Stop trying.

Su Tang.

I managed to sneak out some souls power again.

It doesn't work.

It's not enough.

Since a crack was made in my Soul Confinement,

the more I suffocate and suffer,

the more souls power I get to sneak out.

As long as I practice every day,

I'll get enough power.

You'll die from the pain first.

Fleeing for my life every day like an invalid?

How is that any different from dying?

[No...]

[If I don't break off my Soul Confinement,]

[I can never defeat Shanhai Gang.]

[The souls power he sneaks out each time]

[last only until a joss stick burns out.]

Lu Ping.

[Lu Ping.]

Lu Ping.

Lu Ping!

Lu Ping!

Lu Ping, wake up!

Lu Ping, you have woken up.

Sit up.

Sit up.

Lu Ping!

Lu Ping.

Are you all right?

What were you doing?

Xifan.

Why were you so close to me?

You kept diving in while you were chained.

Do you want to die?

I came to take a bath.

What rule did I violate this time?

Take a bath?

You're taking a bath chained?

Is it fun to joke around with your life?

Xifan, since you care so much about me,

fine.

You saved my life after all,

so you get to slap me.

Lu Ping.

Are you done fooling around?

No one should take life for granted.

As long as I'm in Zhaifeng Institute,

I won't allow that to happen.

Lu Ping.

Lu Ping, are you all right?

What's the matter with him?

Xifan.

-What's wrong with you? -Master.

What have you done again

that nearly killed all the fishes in my pond at the back of the hill?

Lu Ping, he...

When you saved him back then,

do you know of his identity?

What identity can he have?

He's just a starving beggar who was dying of hunger,

so I brought him back.

I felt bad for him.

Who knew?

Zhaifeng Institute's whole fortune is nearly used up.

He's always such a scum.

Don't hold it against him.

I didn't blame him.

I blame myself.

Master.

Master.

You're too nervous.

Have a drink.

Relax.

Master.

It's against the rules to drink in the day.

You should also drink less.

The money you spend on alcohol

is enough to repair our walls three times.

Xifan.

Although we don't look into people's true identities here,

I can very well guess

that you've concealed your true identity.

You even practiced the soul of Sound midway.

It wasn't your original skill.

You've been in Zhaifeng Institute for so long

and you still can't relax?

Don't bear the weight of everyone's life

on your shoulders.

Master.

Back then, if I didn't take a risk recklessly,

I wouldn't have gotten my friend killed.

Since I owe him his life,

I should repay the debt.

Then you should be a good disciple.

Xifan.

Bear this in mind.

Wearing the badge of the eldest disciple means

that the entire Zhaifeng Institute,

including me, your master,

look to you for our future.

Hold it.

Let's have a serious talk.

It's not very safe out there recently.

There are searches going on.

I suspect that some murderous thief

might have come here.

Therefore, I need to head to Kaifeng.

While I am away,

Zhaifeng Institute has to be closed to the public.

All disciples are banned from leaving the premises.

You...

Keep a close eye on those rascals.

Especially Lu Ping.

Don't let him get into any trouble.

Master.

You're going to visit your old friend again?

You rascal!

How can you joke about this?

Master.

Forgive me for being honest with you.

Your old friend's temper is really...

Special.

You always get bruised all over

whenever you're there.

Why do you still visit every year?

Kid.

You won't understand.

I'm also atoning for my sins.

Miss.

We've been searching for four to five days.

The entire Chan State

and dozens of towns around it

were all searched thoroughly.

There is no one

that meets your description.

Forget it.

Tell the guards of Wei family to get back.

If we keep searching so indiscreetly,

I'm afraid I'll alert the enemy.

What should we do?

Should we keep searching?

Keep going.

Why not?

But we're not going to look for a needle in the haystack.

What's your opinion, Mr. Wei?

Sangsang, don't be so distant.

You can call me Tianqi.

Tianqi, what's your opinion?

Mr. Changli once said,

"Every skill and profession has its specialties."

Since we're tracking someone down,

we'll need specific professionals

in that field.

How should we find such a specific professional?

I've already put up posters in the city.

There are wanted posters of my "Wanted Intellectuals"

in the entire Chan State.

From the east to the west,

there's no fear that the gifted won't notice it.

Sangsang.

Just stay in comfortably

and await the arrival of the professionals.

Mr. Wei is really...

creative.

[Sangsang.]

[Just you wait and see.]

[I'll definitely seek out that person.]

Miss.

Mr. Wei said he has posted wanted posters

from the east to the west of the city.

Perhaps,

offering a reward might really work?

Wei Tianqi is fooling around.

Are you going to follow suit?

I'm sorry.

Who is it?

Please spare me, heroine.

I am Mo Lin.

I came here because of the poster.
