EPISODE 18

What are you're doing?

Miss, if you feel angry, you want to live.

So why choose to die?

Dying isn't hard; life is. I believe you can endure.

Take me wherever you go.

You trust me already?

It'd be better than now.

I think you need to return home.

I have things to do now.

Don't worry. When I'm done,

we will meet again.

Hey...!

I was playful in youth.

After that incident, I forgot her.

I believed we were passers-by,

not knowing fate linked us.

It will be too late.

Mother! I'm drinking with a friend.

You were away a month. Your big brother marries today!

He finally got a wife?

Rot! Money got a wife.

Don't tease your pitiful brother.

Okay, okay. Mother, I get it.

The new bride is here!

Come. The new bride's here!

It's her. Meet your sister-in-law.

The bride is beautiful.

Her eyes are gorgeous.

Good.

Mother.

Come, eat.

Come, eat.

I'd never felt so bad.

Meeting like that was unbelievable.

After that, I found excuses to leave home

so I could avoid her

but I was really avoiding my vulnerability.

Did you hear? Mistress is cheating on Master.

That's no surprise. Isn't Master always ill?

True! If it was me, I'd do the same.

Second Master.

Gossiping, not working.

Hurry back.

Yes, Second Master.

- Come, hug me. - Annoying.

Sister-in-law!

Brother-in-law.

Looking for me?

Sister-in-law.

My brother is Master of Mount White Camel Manor.

He's embarrassed to say some things but he still cares.

And I'm here; do nothing shameful.

Shameful?

Am I shameful?

How am I shameful?

Sister-in-law! Have self respect.

If you keep up this disgraceful behaviour, I'll stop being polite.

Come out!

Spare me, Second Master.

Spare me! I'm Chun Xiang!

Chun Xiang?

Yes, Mistress told me to...

Enough.

It's not your business. Go!

Sister-in-law, why are you tarnishing your reputation?

Don't mention reputation.

Your family isn't good.

Your mother cages me; your brother torments me.

I'm a simple girl.

Do you know what happens to me?

You said you'd return for me.

I waited day after day

but you never came.

My heart was broken.

It can't be mended.

People going astray don't think;

but a big mistake is hard to undo.

I never regretted being with Ah Xue

but I really let her down.

- Ah, good baby. - He smiled.

Doesn't he look like you?

Yes, too much like me.

Ah Feng.

I never asked you to marry me before.

But now we have a child.

Think about our future.

I will consider it.

But I don't want to hurt my brother.

Mother. Brother.

I'm glad you're back. Brother needs advice.

Mother, what is it?

That woman is having an affair.

How would you deal with her?

Mother.

You can't accuse someone of adultery without proof.

Sister-in-law's good name could be hurt.

Since we're family, I won't hide this.

I'm unable to have marital relations. How can there be a son?

I tolerated it till now.

I waited for you

to see how a Wulin member deals with this filth.

Ah Feng. Your brother's health was always pitiful.

How can you let him suffer?

If you won't kill that woman, let me.

I'll kill you!

Mother. Mother, enough!

Mother, don't be angry.

It's all my fault; I'm to blame.

This child is mine.

If you want to kill, I did wrong.

What did you say?

What did you say!

You bastard!

How'd our family get this witch?

Ouyang Feng!

You admitted it.

Fine, I'll kill you!

Don't!

Ah Xue.

Ah Xue...

Ah Xue!

Ah Xue...

Ah Xue...

Move aside!

Ah Xue.

Ah Xue.

Ah Xue.

Ah Xue.

Take care of yourself and Ke'er.

- See you in the afterlife. - Ah Xue.

Ah Xue...

Ah Xue!

I never returned to Mount White Camel,

not when brother died, nor when mother died.

I never went back because I couldn't face her absence.

On lonely nights, I dreamed of her.

In my dreams, she waits for me.

Because love fails,

we try to garner fame...

wealth...

prestige.

But the truth is...

nothing can ever replace that wonderful feeling...

There is only her...

the only one in your heart.

That's why, Guo'er...

the day you find your GuGu,

never let her go.

No matter what faces you...

no matter the hardship...

or how hard your path,

you have to fight on.

Otherwise,

after a lifetime passes...

at your life's end,

is your hand holding another's?

That would be beautiful.

I understand.

Snow...Ah Xue.

Wait a little longer.

I'll be there soon with you.

Would that make you happy?

Ah Xue.

Elder Hong.

Though Dad countered your 36 stances,

he wouldn't have had time in a real fight;

so your skills were higher.

Dad.

What you taught me, I understand.

Regardless of fame and power, everyone dies.

But forging a real bond is worthwhile.

Now I realise others' opinions, and what others think of me, won't matter.

If I'm holding GuGu's hand, it's enough.

Dad. Elder Hong.

I hope you two rest in peace.

[ DA XINGGUAN ]

Fresh flowers!

In this big world, how do I find GuGu?

Hurry, it's a rare chance!

Yes, we can't be late.

- Every Wulin expert is here. - We gotta to see this!

Those two seem to be pugilists.

- Is it this way? - It is!

Is it a ruckus between Wifey and Beggar Clan?

Or a stoush with Li Mochou?

I can't miss this

and these guys are Elder Hong's disciples.

If they don't trouble Wifey, I'll tell them of Elder Hong's death.

Let's have a look.

Hey, Uncle, what's the fuss?

It's a big event.

Hero Guo Jing and Madam Huang Rong are convening the Heroes Gathering.

Heroes Gathering?

This year's host is Master Lu.

It's a great feast!

So Uncle Guo and Aunt Huang are drawing crowds.

I once got bullied under your roof. I was naive.

I suffered a bit.

Why don't I fake hard times

to see how are you two treat me.

[ GUIYUN MANOR ]

Sir, welcome.

Long time no see.

You came too!

I'm sorry, you are?

I'm Yang Guo; I want to see Chief Huang.

So it's Brother Yang.

Where'd you came from?

Xiaxi...

Are you from Quanzhen?

How'd I be from Quanzhen?

Well, do you have your Invitation?

Yeah, the Invitation?

I live alone; I'm starving.

I want to ask Chief Huang for money since I know her.

Then I can go home.

Sorry. Chief Huang is too busy.

Are you alright?

Are you okay, Brother?

How are you?

You're so cruel. Help me!

Brother! Beggars are all poor.

Look how badly he's doing.

Can't he get food inside?

Brother, go in and eat. Tomorrow Elders will pass

your message to Chief Huang, okay.

- Come. - You're a good man.

Excuse me.

Welcome, sir!

Nice to meet you.

Fellows, welcome.

Nice to meet you, Master Lu.

Nice to meet you.

Master and Madam Lu are greeting guests.

Beggar Clan, welcome.

Hero Guo's coming.

The Lu's greet us personally.

Hero Guo is here.

- Hero Guo and Chief Huang are here. - Yes, they're incredible.

- Master Lu, Mistress Lu. - Guanying.

Senior Guo, Senior Huang. Your juniors greet you.

We're old acquaintances. Skip formalities.

Yes, Master Lu. Thank you for hosting this.

Don't mention it; it's an honour.

Yes, it's our honour.

Quanzhen Taoist Qiu, welcome!

Taoist Qiu.

- Hero Guo, Chief Huang. - Priest, Teachers.

Greetings, Taoists.

My respects, Teacher.

Quickly, rise.

- Thanks, Teacher. - Sister, rise.

You two, greet Hero Guo and Chief Huang.

Leader Huang. Hero Guo.

You're too polite.

We're honoured to have you here.

Head Taoist.

I wrote to ask you to bring Guo'er. Why don't I see him?

Well...

Stinky Taoists, try explaining.

Did something happen to him?

It's like this. Yang Guo...

How is Guo'er?

Well...

Uncle Guo, Guo'er is here!

Guo'er!

Guo'er.

Uncle Guo, you'll dirty your clothes.

So what?

I feared you misbehaved, so your Teachers didn't bring you.

But you're here; all's fine.

No, no, no, Hero Guo.

I don't have skills to be his Teacher.

You're joking. Did Guo'er mess up? I'll make him kowtow.

Please don't. He's so bold.

If he kowtows to me,

I have to kowtow back.

ZhiJing.

We're here for the Gathering, not to raise the past.

Guo'er, what's going on?

Brother Jing.

These Taoists traveled far.

Let's talk inside.

That's good. Head Taoist, please.

Please.

Yang Guo.

You're here!

Priest, this way.

Fu'er.

You and the boys, attend to visitors.

- Guo'er, come inside. - Sure.

They're being secretive.

What is it?

I beg Hero Guo's and Chief Huang's forgiveness.

Brother Zhao.

What's going on?

Hero Guo, ask him.

Guo'er.

You must've erred. Beg your Teacher's pardon.

Hero Guo.

I can't be Yang's Teacher.

Don't mock me.

I and Quanzhen didn't offend you. Don't insult me.

Young Yang.

I beg your forgiveness.

I failed to recognise a hero like you.

Brother Zhao.

I'm sorry he troubled you. Don't be angry.

How'd Guo'er offend his Teacher?

Hero Guo, please stop saying "Teacher".

With my lowly Taoist skills,

I don't dare be his Teacher.

The world will laugh.

ZhiJing.

If you have anything to say, tell Hero Guo and Chief Huang clearly.

How's this look? You're impolite.

What kind of Taoism do we study?

Yes.

Guo'er, see his respect for his Elder? Follow his example.

He's not my Teacher.

What did you say?

He never was my Teacher.

A teacher is a father.

The master-student bond can't be belittled; yet you deny yours.

Brother Jing.

He's stubborn. Cool down.

I didn't ask to be taught wugong.

With your fame, you bullied this orphan?

Kill me if you like.

We taught you wugong for your dad.

Who bullied you?

- You treat me well. - So I...

So I don't treat you well?

You did okay, but Uncle Guo asked you to teach me wugong; and did you?

So Rong'er taught him no wugong.

But you taught me to study literature. Thanks.

But you, Zhao ZhiJing,

taught me no wugong, and harmed me.

And you! Qiu ChuJi.

Granny Sun kindly took me in; so you killed her.

Be respectful!

You and Quanzhen guys beat an old woman to death.

Yet you blab about me to them?

You immoral killer!

Quanzhen bastards!

- You... - Yang Guo. - Jing'er.

Yang Guo.

You know when Granny Sun was injured, you prevented my help.

I accidentally killed a good person.

I've long regretted it, but the dead can't revive.

I killed wrongly.

Fine.

There's a sword.

Kill me to avenge Granny Sun.

- Don't regret it. - You dare?!

You're pretending.

You know Uncle Guo won't let me.

If you're sincere, hand me the sword in private.

Cleverly spoken.

Jing'er.

I have no face to attend the Gathering.

- Leader! - Taoist Qiu!!

Insolent brat!

You bullied him?!

I'm scared!

Uncle, he insulted me publicly.

What's he do behind your back?

- I'll kill you! - Don't make trouble.

Aren't we embarrassed enough?

Hero Guo, Chief Huang. Pardon our rudeness.

- Insolent brat! - Let's go.

Insolent brat!

Fellows, stop a moment.

Guo'er, why didn't they teach you wugong?

You beat Quanzhen at Mount Zhongnan;

Zhao ZhiJing vented his anger on me.

So that happened.

Guo'er, I caused you trouble.

Don't worry. While I'm here, nobody will bully you.

Uncle Guo treats me sincerely.

You want Guo'er with you?

Yes, he has no home.

But his crime is punishable by expulsion.

He and Quanzhen look bad.

But those Taoists didn't refute Guo'er's words.

Isn't it clear?

Jing. Guo'er is tricky.

This matter isn't that easy.

How about we look into it afterwards?

Okay, I'll heed you.

Sister Fu, why must you ask Yang Guo along?

Yes, unless we go now, we'll miss it.

I want to talk to Yang Guo.

You two go first.

We go first?

Still not going?

I'll ignore you.

Okay, we'll go first.

- What is it so early? - Yang Guo, come see something fun.

Let's go.

- Mom's teaching Dog Beating to Senior Lu. - Dog Beating?

Yes, it's Beggar Clan's treasure only passed to the Chief.

Mom is Chief only in name.

Clan matters give her headaches

so Senior Lu runs the Clan.

Once Senior Lu masters Dog Beating, Mom can pass him leadership.

Want to see?

Elder Hong was generous to me.

Should I pass news of his death to the next Chief?

Why are you dreaming?

If we don't go, it'll be over. Hurry!

You have bad moods too?

Who is better of the Wu boys?

Big Wu is reliable, Small Wu is fun; both are handsome and talented.

They respect and heed you.

The older is good, the younger has spirit.

But how can a girl fancy two men?

- Neither is good. - Why?

If they're both good, I have no chance.

I was serious. You're bad!

Yang Guo...You have no interest in her. Why'd you say that?

"Stick Beats Two Dogs"

"Dog Jumps the Wall".

Senior Lu, don't rush.

You learned half of it. Practise slowly.

Chief, you over-exerted yourself.

I'll practise; you give me tips.

Isn't Senior Lu ungifted?

He hasn't finished learning in one month.

Mom said this art is ingenious. How is a month enough?

Are you a genius?

It's too bad this Skill only passes to Beggar Clan Chief.

Brother can't learn.

Think you can?

Senior Lu will teach the next Chief.

Even Dad won't learn it.

Elder Hong taught me stances, but no formulae.

Aunt Guo is teaching Lu the formulae; I'll benefit.

Rong'er.

Brother Jing.

Hero Guo.

Chief, I'll go.

Okay.

Rong'er, you're pregnant.

Quickly pass all duties to Lu and rest.

So Mom is pregnant. A sibling is great.

Beggar Clan matters never worry me

but Fu'er's future concerns me.

Since Quanzhen won't teach Guo'er, I'll teach him.

He's clever; I'll pass all my skills.

My blood vow with his dad isn't in vain.

He's too smart for his own good. That's why I only let him study.

I hoped he'd grow up righteous.

Then we could marry Fu'er to him without qualms.

My heart only has GuGu.

Your prettiness can't match GuGu.

I don't even see you!

Rong'er, you mean well.

But Fu'er has a temper and strong wugong.

If they ever marry, would Fu'er respect Guo'er?

Their marriage won't go smoothly.

So you and I match well because your wugong beats mine.

- I...don't mean that. - Hero Guo, let's duel.

Alright, my Chief Huang.

Jing. Leaving Guo'er aside, what about the Wu boys?

Who is better of the two?

I'm not sure.

A person shows his true character only in vital matters.

Fu'er is still young. Let's discuss it in a few years.

Maybe it will sort itself out

so we needn't worry.

Don't over-exert yourself teaching Lu.

In the last few days, you looked unwell.

Don't worry.

Okay. I'll find Guo'er.

Hurry, hide!

You all come out.

Go.

- Teacher's wife. - Aunt Guo.

- Mom. - Aunt Guo.

Mom.

You were spying.

If I couldn't notice you,

when I travel Jianghu, I'd be ambushed in half a day.

Mom, I brought them to see the famed Dog Beating Skill.

But Elder Lu makes it look poor. You show us.

Mom! That's trickery!

Help me up!

I just taught Lu 8-Formulae...

'trip, chop, coil, poke, stir, lead, seal, turn'.

Trickery? Correct.

In wugong, 90% is trickery.

If you trick an expert, you win.

That's it. I now get the essence of Dog Beating Stick Skill.

It's wrong to spy on others' gongfu. Don't do it again, hear?

- I hear. - I hear.

Fu'er, leave with the Wu's.

I want to talk to Guo'er.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Guo'er, follow me.

Since your mom died, nobody took care of you.

Each day must be lonely.

Aunt Guo, actually I...

I didn't teach you wugong in your best interests.

Who knew it made you suffer.

Honestly, I never liked your father, so I disliked you.

But be assured I'll pass you my wugong.

Okay?

Aunt Guo, I kept things from you.

Leave the past in the past.

Uncle Guo believes you will be a great man;

he'll teach you his gongfu.

I accept.

I must tell you something.

It's about Hong...

Tell me later... I feel very unwell.

What's wrong?

Let me help you rest over there.

Come.

Aunt Guo, how do you feel?

Much better.

But, Guo'er, your subtle nei-li

is different to Quanzhen's.

It's soft and concentrated. Where did you learn it?

I'll explain later at leisure.

Now I'll take you back to rest.

Good.

- Sister Fu! - Sister Fu!

- Sister Fu! - Sister Fu!

- Sister Fu... - Sister Fu...

Stop walking away.

Since Yang Guo returned, your attitude to us changed.

Do you like Yang Guo now?

Yang Guo is a little beggar.

- How'd I like him? - Really?

You should tell your parents.

And say what?

That...you don't like Yang Guo.

My parents didn't discuss it with me. How can I comment?

And what's in my heart isn't your concern.

You like Yang Guo.

Nonsense!

I won't marry Yang Guo, or you Wu boys.

I won't marry. Happy now?

We only want your well-being.

Sister Fu, don't be angry at us.

Why are you brothers here?

- You made me find you. - What is it, Senior Lu?

A guest is waiting to meet you.

To meet us?

They're here.

Mom.

Teacher, Teacher's wife.

Boys, greet your dad.

- Dad? - Dad! Dad!

Dad!

You guys grew so much.

Good.

Remember your mom saved me and died from poison?

I...was crazy then and left!

Madam Guo, thanks for my sons' care.

Your generosity can't be repaid.

Brother Wu, please stand.

We're all one family.

This is Reverend Yideng's disciple, Scholar Zhu Ziliu.

He cured Brother Wu.

Boys, greet Uncle Zhu.

Thanks, Uncle Zhu!

Please get up.

Your dad and I are Brothers. No need for thanks.

Without Teacher's skills,

I couldn't have cured your dad's mind.

Is Reverend Yideng well?

Teacher is in good health.

But Sister Huang is pale. Are you unwell?

Rong'er, are you okay?

Thanks for asking. Guo'er helped me feel comfortable.
