EPISODE 21

Mei Ruo Hua (Delicate Plum Blossom).

Your name is Mei Ruo Hua.

That name doesn't suit.

Let's call you Mei Chao Feng (Tempest).

Strong personality.

It's late. Sleep.

This is "mei", "plum blossom".

It's your surname.

"Mei"?

Well pronounced.

Your reward is a pastry.

My life focused on wugong,

excluding relationships.

But oddly I had feelings for her.

I didn't like that feeling

but I couldn't control it.

"Mei".

Master.

FENG MO FENG

Sister, what are you reading?

What's it mean?

It's Ouyang Xiu's prose.

History says he secretly liked his niece.

This is Master's calligraphy.

- Maybe Master sees you... - Talking rot!

Master.

I'll go and finish my study.

Master.

It's messy. Let's comb it.

Let's go!

- Chao Feng. You're 18 today? - Yes.

'High hall mirror reflects black hair turned to snow'

Watching you youngsters, I'm getting white hair.

Pluck them.

"Excel in wugong and literature;"

"shine with a mere feather".

You cheer me up

but happy times are few.

I am growing old.

You'll grow up and leave.

I won't grow up. I'll learn your wugong and always stay with you.

Silly child.

Ouyang Xiu wrote:

'Drinking with geisha, I ask, 'How can I stay youthful?'

'Those are empty words,'

'geisha tell lovers.'

'Even flowers wither; how can youth stay fair?'

You'll grow up.

Wugong can't beat Heaven.

Training won't help.

I'll practise your wugong...

all my life, serving you...

100 years.

200 years.

Thank you.

'Cherish Spring; petals can't stay red'

'The gentleman sobers and leaves; petals flow free as wind'

I won't flow free; Flicking Finger - teach me.

You humour me. Okay, I'll teach you that...

tomorrow.

Thanks, Master.

- Master. - Sister, why'd you come?

- Master, what's wrong? - It's you.

- Me? - Master met people

who say he'll marry his disciple.

Don't speak rumours.

Sister, don't listen.

Everyone, leave.

- Master. - Sister! - Master...

I said to leave!

Master. Others' opinions are unimportant

as long as we're happy.

Even you think rot of me?

Master.

You're that unhappy?

- Did you say Huang Yaoshi will marry his disciple? - That's the Jianghu rumour.

You spread it? Die!

Excuse me.

- Waiter, tea! - Coming!

Can't a Teacher marry his disciple?

- No! It's against ethics! - He's right.

Damn you!

Enough!

Master.

What are you doing?

Master.

I won't let them spread rumours.

You did wrong!

Wrong? What's wrong?

Was it killing them...

or loving my Master?

You...

If you think I erred, kill me!

You saved me from death.

If I had died, I'd know nothing.

Above all...what love is.

Perhaps I'm to blame.

I'll set things right; but we must maintain rules.

Return with me.

Chao Feng, eat.

- Did Master say to feed me? - Master left the Isle.

You're rash. Food is forbidden.

CHEN XUAN FENG

I can't see you suffer.

If I was Master, I'd ignore the Wulin Code.

I'd make my beloved happy.

It's a pity I lack Master's luck.

Brother, Sister. Master brought a wife home.

- What? - Master brought home a wife.

See, they're here.

Why's everyone here?

Greetings, Master.

Chao Feng's been tied up 3 days. Please let her go.

It should be 10 days; but this is a joyous time.

- Xuan Feng, release her. - Thank you.

Mo Feng, prepare a wedding banquet.

Yes, Master.

Come; I'll show you around.

See, there's a pretty garden.

You must hurt. I'll help you.

Don't touch me!

Come away.

Sister.

Didn't you like me? Don't you want me?

I do...but...

So be with me.

I hurt a lot.

Carry me.

Your Master says you're filial,

with a sad past, and need care.

He doesn't understand women. You came here as a child.

He never understood a lot of matters.

- Tell me any problems. - Master treats me well.

He married you. If he's happy, I'm happy.

Huang Yaoshi's wife - FENG HENG

What is it?

Is something on my face?

How did you enchant Teacher?

I thought Master wouldn't marry.

Charm needn't unite men and women.

Master and I met by chance.

When he left Peach Blossom Isle,

he obtained a book, 9-Yin Manual.

It has strange language.

We examined it together, but couldn't decipher it.

He's a good man, so I asked him to marry me.

9-Yin Manual united us. Isn't that Fate?

9-Yin Manual?

Is that a profound kungfu?

I'm not sure.

Peach Blossom Isle wugong is superior.

In our eyes, it's invincible.

But if an expert sees a new skill, he wants to analyse it.

It's like seeing a marvellous new poem.

We want to memorise it.

9-Yin Manual?

So Master values customs and 9-Yin Manual more than me.

I'm nothing.

No. I'm not satisfied.

You'll really steal it?

I can't stay here.

If I sneak off, Master will kill me.

Why not take the risk?

But Master treats us...

'Thief Guy'*, want to be with me? (*her nickname for him)

- Of course. - So listen.

We won't get another chance.

Okay.

They stole 9-Yin Manual and fled.

I was awake, yet let them go.

When my other disciples found out next day, I had my worst rage.

I broke their legs and expelled them.

They thought it was about the Manual, but I acted in anguish.

See why I support Yang Guo?

Did you meet her again?

Sure. Her life was hard.

Xuan Feng was killed by Guo Jing; she was blinded.

Years later, she showed up

but she wasn't the same.

Chao Feng vs. Quanzhen Priest Chuji and disciples

Mei Chao Feng, you're no match.

We'll take revenge on Huang Yaoshi. Move!

You disrespected Master. I'll fight to death!

Wang Chongyang's disciples uselessly attacked my blind disciple.

Brother Ouyang, I'll chastise them.

Brother Yaoshi. They disregarded you in the past

or else they'd know about your skills.

Master?

Chao Feng.

You shamed Peach Blossom Isle.

I was wrong. Kill me.

I'll punish you but no-one may bully you.

Old Huang! Repay our Zhou's life!

What a chance! I can kill ChuJi and Huang,

and have two less rivals at Mount Hua Meet.

Brother Yao, let me help.

Quanzhen Master Tan ChuDuan

Brother.

Ouyang Feng, who said to help?

Brother.

Brother.

Master, be careful!

Chao Feng.

Let's avenge him.

Ouyang Feng, you killed my Junior!

Huang, I broke their formation, and punished your disciple. I won't stay!

Repay Brother's life!

Chao Feng. Why be so foolish?

I was wrong to leave the Isle.

I beg you to re-admit me to the sect.

I walked north and south.

But I can't walk out of my heart.

- Promise me. - Okay.

I promise you.

Now I'm at peace.

Master.

Chao Feng.

Chao Feng.

Ying'er. You're sensitive.

I told you this so you know,

if you meet one you love, don't make the same mistake...

because life is short, but pain lasts forever.

I understand.

But I'm afraid I already lost my chance.

That's suffering too.

Master.

Little Aunt. What are you doing? Play with me.

Sha Gu.

- Someone's sleeping? - Sha Gu.

Why are you alone? Wake up.

Wake up!

Ghost!

Always calling me a ghost. Idiot.

Brother Yang, she is an idiot.

An idiot can be smart, very smart.

Hurry; play with me or I'll beat you.

Why won't you play with me?

Sha Gu.

Ghost!

Sha Gu, let's play?

Go away. I won't play with you.

Go away; I won't play with you.

sway sway sway

sway sway sway, sway sway sway

till Granny's bridge falls, Granny calls me 'Precious'

bags of candy and fruit, finish one, eat another

sway sway sway, sway sway sway, till Granny's bridge falls

Granny calls me 'Precious', bags of candy and fruit

finish one, eat another!

- Give it to me. - Only if we play a game.

Okay, play what?

Let's play...I got it.

Hide-and-seek; loser forfeits.

What forfeit?

If you lose, I ask a question you answer. If I lose, same again, the other way round.

- No problem. - Off we go!

- Come... - Where are you?

I'm here...

- Where are you? - Here.

Here...

I'll catch you.

I'm not playing!

It's no fun. I can't catch you.

You caught me! You're so smart!

Okay, ask me a question.

Have you eaten?

I ate.

Okay, keep playing.

- Okay. It's your turn to catch me. - Okay.

Sha Gu, why can't I catch you?

I'm here.

You can't catch me.

I can't catch you. It's not fun.

I'm here. Catch me.

I caught you.

- My question. - I ate. - No; do you know my dad?

Who's he?

You said he looked like me.

You mean Brother Yang?

You saw Brother Yang killed?

Yes.

It was dark.

Lots of crows in that broken temple

called "ar, ar".

So scary.

- How'd Brother Yang die? - How'd he die?

Auntie told me to talk; he didn't let me.

Brother Yang hit Auntie.

Then Brother Yang...

It's how he died.

- Who is Auntie? - Auntie is Auntie.

What's Auntie's name!

Auntie... Auntie is...

What are you two playing?

Granddad Master.

He wanted to play, not me. Scold him.

She was bored; it's hot.

Wushuang and Ying cooked. Let's go.

Oh, let's go.

Dumb Egg, bad news.

- Master. - Dumb Egg.

- Master, it's bad. - Dumb Egg, it's bad.

Master, look.

"Peach Blossom Isle Master has many disciples. Five against one, jackass of Jianghu!"

Li Mochou hasn't left; she mocked you.

Since Master Huang didn't kill her, his second attempt would be shameful.

Dumb Egg, cousin. We three can fight her.

Me, too! I'll go.

- Then we...

Forget it. I do have many disciples.

If any of my 4 senior disciples were here, she'd say no word.

Leave it.

I'm angry Li Mochou mocked us as five to one.

I'm healed but might lose to her.

Why don't I sneak off and fight her.

- Excellent. - Master Huang.

I had to wait till 30 to reach that level.

You're 10 years ahead of me.

You overpraise me.

Why are you training late?

I'm preparing to fight Li Mochou; she's a strong foe, so...

Li Mochou was right about numbers; it's inappropriate for me to attack her.

It's good if I vent your anger.

What's Li Mochou's best wugong?

- Serpent Palm. Fly Whisk. - Correct.

Your neigong foundation can neutralise her.

Really? What skill do I use?

I'll teach you Divine Flicking Finger and a Jade Flute Sword technique.

Come with me.

You're very smart. You learned this quickly.

I can beat that witch tomorrow.

Brother Yang.

To progress, you must practise one year. To beat her, you must train three years.

You can't beat her tomorrow.

Three years? By then, I...

Three years will go fast; you'll have two new skills.

I'm not doing it for me...

In three years, kill her for me.

To cleanse her insult, we must be recognised as master and disciple.

Yes, Master.

Get up.

When you fight Li Mochou,

you're my disciple. Other times, you're my good friend.

- Understand? - I do.

I'm fortunate we're friends.

The two of us meeting is grand luck.

Tell my disciple to care for Sha Gu.

You're leaving? Will we meet again?

We're linked. If someone blocks your marriage, I'll rush to help.

The first one to stop it may be your daughter.

She married her ideal man, and forgot others' pain.

My daughter "obeys her husband"? That's something!

Brother Yang, take care.

- Brother Yang. - You're here.

- I made you a jacket. - For me?

See if it fits.

Not bad.

I took measurements from your jacket.

Thank you.

She and Wifey treat me well, but my heart's taken.

I'll go before I give them grief.

Dumb Egg.

Cousin, you're here?

Dumb Egg, come see.

- Uh? - Quickly.

See there. Quickly.

- See the palms. - Four blood palms.

Li Mochou leaves blood palms before killing.

She'll kill us four.

Li Mochou, that bitch...

- You despicably waited till Master left! - What to do?

Sha Gu's wugong was useful. With her, we can win.

Sha Gu only has 3 stances; Li Mochou no longer fears her.

She must've thought about how to neutralise her.

Sha Dan and Sha Gu have power!

Sha Dan + Sha Gu = dumb and dumber.

We four can't beat her, but we can protect ourselves.

- Where's Sha Gu? - Yes, where'd she go?

I'll call you Little Good Girl. Listen to me.

Come here; these flowers are pretty.

Come, the flowers are pretty.

They smell nice. Want them?

I want them. Give them to me.

- Who are you? - I'm the Flower Fairy.

- Flower Fairy? - I'll take you to prettier flowers.

- Okay. - Come here, come on...

Teacher, are you okay?

I'm fine; she's poisoned. Let's go.

Don't leave.

Flowers...

Sha Gu...

She got Li Mochou's poison.

Bad woman, behind, hit me. Sha Gu, hit her...

Li Mochou injured Sha Gu badly.

Did you memorise 5-Poison Codex? Save her.

There's a method, but she's very hurt.

Recovery with antidote will be a month.

We can't match Li Mochou without Sha Gu.

Li Mochou took out Sha Gu to kill us easily.

Li Mochou is despicable!

Dumb Egg, you and Cousin flee with Sha Gu.

We aren't strong enough to defend.

Li Mochou could catch us.

We said we'd die together. Why run?

True. I won't leave you.

Dumb Egg.

You both make me mad! Listen!

You'll die under Li Mochou's Whisk!

Okay, enough.

Scissors.

Cut her 'broom'. Cut it...

I got it.
