EPISODE 36

Show yourself; don't be sneaky.

You're Red Fairy, Li Mochou.

Huang Rong greets you.

So it's Madam Guo. I long admired your famous name.

You are too polite.

Taoist Li, I'm your junior; I always revered you.

Madam Guo, you're too polite.

You're a leading personality.

You overpraise me.

That baby is so cute.

Whose baby is it?

It's shaming for Ancient Tomb to admit; it's my Sister's baby.

Miss Long is unmarried. How can she birth a love-child?

It's my daughter; she's lying.

What are her motives?

It's embarrassing to mention.

I didn't think Miss Long would have a love-child.

- Who's the baby's father? - I couldn't guide Sister.

The baby's father is Sister's disciple, Yang Guo.

Ridiculous! You say my daughter is illegitimate

and say the father is Yang Guo. Isn't that an insult?

I wouldn't think a Teacher and student could act so basely.

Sister made mischief.

But this baby is adorable; she has apple cheeks.

May I hold her?

Alright.

If she just likes the baby and wants to hold her,

why'd her face change?

Holding her isn't that simple.

You're too petty.

I just think this baby is cute; I want to hug her.

Do you intend to help Yang Guo

and snatch the baby?

I just want to hug that lovely child; you think lowly of me.

I admire your family's fame.

Your fame isn't empty; but I have business. I must leave.

Wait! You can't leave.

We have no enmity; it's the first time we met.

I've been polite to you. Why do you attack me?

Why'd you choose here and now?

If we fight, we'll harm this lovely baby.

Doesn't she know this baby is mine

or is she just pretending?

If you carry that child, don't blame me if she's hurt.

She could lose her life.

You'd be so cruel to a baby?

That's despicable!

You're protecting my daughter, so I'll attack her to scare you.

Xiang'er, don't cry; I'm doing this to save you.

You say it's your Sister's baby.

Why let her live? Let me get rid of her for you.

What do you want?

We're Jianghu's top females; why don't we duel?

I always hoped to fight you

but you attack this child.

I think very lowly of you.

Jianghu says the Guo couple are righteous and fair.

But seeing your ferocity towards a baby,

your fame is exaggerated.

Jianghu says you're a cold murderess

and a demoness.

Seeing you protect a baby, I'm very surprised.

People would think this baby is yours.

Who do you think I am?

Taoist Li.

I'm saying people would think

she's your little sister. What were you thinking?

Cut the crap. Let's start.

Wait. You were right.

Why don't we do this?

Put the baby under that tree.

Then we can spart

and won't harm the baby. Agree?

Okay.

Be good. I'll finish this woman, then hold you.

Since she protects Xiang'er,

if I can't grab Xiang'er now,

I don't have to worry.

The child distracted you; now it's fair.

Have respect; honour your name.

Okay. Let's compete.

I heard you met my dad.

So what?

You wrote a verse to ridicule my dad.

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

So you hamper me over those four lines?

Today it's one against one. See who Jianghu ridicules!

Why talk so much? Arm yourself.

Your Stick technique is superb.

You won, but why'd you use Hong Qigong's skill?

Why don't you use Peach Blossom kungfu?

So you know it's Hong Qigong's skill.

This Dog Beating skill is called "meet a dog, flog it".

Beggars use a begging chant.

Beggar Clan Chief is no exception.

Peas in a pod!

Seems I must use my Soul Freezing Silver Needles against Dog Beating.

Seems if my Dog Beating skill defeats you,

you won't be happy.

If you want to fight fairly,

use your Peach Blossom kungfu.

Alright.

Today, my Falling Peach Blossom Palm will teach you a lesson.

'Orchid Hand Brushes Acupoint' immobilisation

You were defeated by Peach Blossom Isle skill.

Now you know it's amazing.

She's injured by her own Needle poison.

I can avenge the Wu boys' mother.

Hold it!

What do you want to say?

I killed so many, yet lived till now.

It's fitting you kill me.

I beg one favour of you.

What is it?

Spare Sister's baby.

Care for her kindly; don't take her young life.

She has a mountain of sins

yet she pleads for the child.

But if the child lives, her parents pose a threat to me.

Madam Guo, have forgiveness.

This must be your Needle antidote.

I'll only forgive one.

If I forgive you, I'll kill the baby.

If you die, I'll raise the baby.

Well?

If you want me to save my life by taking hers,

I can't do it.

Kill me if you want.

Fine, Taoist Li.

Thanks for mercy for my daughter, Xiang'er.

What did you say?

This baby is Guo Xiang, my newborn.

Thank you for my daughter's care.

Though I wonder what you've been feeding her.

Yang Guo captured a mother leopard as a wet nurse.

No wonder Xiang'er looks well fed.

I unsealed your Jade Pearl point.

I'm going to get my daughter.

Xiang...

Xiang'er!

My Xiang'er is missing.

Xiang'er!

My Xiang'er is missing!

Xiang'er!

Did wild animals take her?

Impossible; I checked. There are no wild animals here.

Where is she?

While we competed, someone sneaked her away.

This person must be nearby.

- Who could it be? - Unless it's Yang Guo?

Guo'er?

If it's him, that's bad.

If it's Yang Guo, don't worry.

Yang Guo doted on Xiang'er.

It's different now; Fu'er cut off Guo'er's arm.

I fear he'll...

Yang Guo's arm was cut off?

Damn, if Guo'er was here, Fu'er is in danger.

Madam Guo, wait for me.

Pears for sale, sweet and juicy.

Pears for sale.

Miss, buy some pears.

Have you seen my mom?

Your mom? Who's your mom?

My mom is my mom.

Is your mom pretty like you?

I asked if you saw her.

Miss, buy these pears,

I'll tell you.

Miss, you overturned them? My pears.

Stop picking them up.

Young Miss Guo.

Why's a pretty girl so fierce?

Surprised to see me again?

I thought you already... so you're fine.

You hoped I died; luckily I didn't.

I survived your amputation.

What do you want?

You ask what I want?

You took my arm and ask that?

Xiang'er?

- So you kidnapped my sister. - It cuts both ways.

You took my arm; I took your sister. Fair swap.

Fine, I wronged you, I owe you an apology. Return my sister.

Call this an apology?!

You don't regret a damn thing.

Said enough? I didn't cut off your arm on purpose.

You provoked me.

Is losing an arm so pitiful? I had it worse!

My dad wants to cut off my arm.

I must go to the Isle alone. Aren't I badly off?

Guo Fu!

I won't hide anymore.

If you want compensation, take your revenge now.

You're really unafraid to die?

empty sleeve used as weapon - Tomb skill

Kill me if you must!

Guo Fu has no remorse.

Even if I kill her, I won't get my arm back.

Dugu Qiubai said, 'regrets last a lifetime; why not forgive'.

I don't want the Jianghu to say I bully women.

Go before I change my mind.

Yang Guo, return my sister to me.

I already showed you mercy.

Your sister is my compensation.

Waiter, where's the young lady who was here?

- Her? She left. - She left?

Mom.

- Mom. - Fu'er.

Where did you go?

Where were you? I was worried.

I met Yang Guo.

You met Yang Guo?

How are you? Are you hurt?

Mom, look.

So soon after losing his arm, Guo'er's kungfu became profound?

Is it a devil kungfu?

A sword did this?

He used his empty sleeve.

It's Jade Maiden Manual.

What did you just say?

Nothing.

Would Yang Guo come back for revenge?

If he let you off now, he won't.

- But he stole my sister. - So Guo'er took Xiang'er.

Where would Yang Guo take her?

If I'm right, he'll go to Mount Zhongnan.

I think he went to Ancient Tomb.

I think he took baby Sis to Passionless Valley for the antidote.

That's possible.

I wonder if Masters Wu and Zhu found an antidote.

If they did, we can resolve Yang Guo's enmity.

Mount Zhongnan leads to Passionless valley.

Let's go to Mount Zhongnan before Passionless Valley.

Xiang'er and I have a bond.

I'd like to go with you as support.

I'm grateful for your help.

Wu SanTong, you're intruding.

I let you off in the past

yet you return for death?

We came with kind intentions to ask for the antidote.

I never imagined you would trap my two Senior Brothers.

Your group trespassed to force me to hand over the antidote.

You had no kind intentions.

Bring Huang Rong and Guo Jing to thrash it out.

Rot! They have no enmity with you.

Besides the fact Yang Guo saved you,

you disrespected my two Elders.

Bastard, don't pressure me with talk about Elders.

Since you're obstinate, don't blame our impoliteness.

Let's see how you do that.

Men! Detain them!

Let's leave.

Forget it; let them go.

- Mom. - Lu'E, are you okay?

I'm fine. I slipped and got hurt.

Let see if they used poison.

It's fine; the blood is red.

I'll apply some herbs.

Senior.

Miss Gongsun.

I sent a messenger pigeon to your Teacher.

Thank you.

No problem. This is all Mom's fault.

I hope your Teacher comes soon.

May I ask a favour?

What is it?

My Senior wants a few Passion Flowers.

Why's he want those?

He's a poison specialist; he wants to create an antidote.

Please help.

I'll do it to help Yang Guo.

Okay.

It's me; stay quiet.

Dad? Why are you back?

Why? It's my ancestral Valley.

- If Mom sees you.. - Don't mention that hag!

- Where'd she hide my items? - What items?

Feigning ignorance?

My Gongsun family's ancestral secret precious herbs are missing from my room.

Where'd she hide them? Tell me now.

Mom stored them; I don't know.

You wretch. Not telling me?!

I really don't know.

Useless daughter. Don't you fear death?

You pushed me in the pit. You...

You'll cry at your own funeral.

Dad, stop this.

Confess your crime; Mom will let you off.

You want me to beg her to let me off?

Wishful thinking!

Dad, I beg you; don't err again.

You're still married.

If you still call me Dad, don't mention that hag.

- Lu'E. - Don't say I was here.

Lu'E!

Lu'E, open the door.

Coming.

- Okay, you may leave. - Yes.

- Lu'E. - Mom.

Why were you slow to open the door?

I was just resting.

Don't hide anything from me.

Why would I do that?

Don't think I don't know

you faked injury to let that dad and two sons get away. Right?

I....

Think I didn't know!

They want Yang Guo's antidote.

You helped outsiders against me.

Lu'E, don't be mulish.

Yang Guo never had you in his heart.

This can only bring you grief.

And 18 days have passed.

Yang Guo's poison would strike.

Maybe he's dead.

Missing him is useless.

Lu'E, forget him; don't give yourself pain.

Good girl, stay here with me.

I won't let anyone bully you.

Reverend Chonghe (Spiritual Master).

Reverend Chonghe.

That's my spiritual title, but no-one uses it. What's up?

You're back; everyone's waiting.

Li ZhiChang. You're my Senior; I'm unworthy of that title.

Return to Mount Zhongnan; say he's on his way.

Yes.

Reverend Chonghe.

Quanzhen Reverend Changchun (ChuJi) has appointed you as Acting Leader.

Acting Leader? Why?

Reverend, there may be Mongol spies listening.

Let's go to the tea house; I'll report.

Fine; this way.

Why's Brother Zhao not with you?

Talk about that later. Please.

This way.

- Leader is in seclusion? - Yes.

The Elder Teachers are with him in the Cave of the Jade Void.

When did they enter?

Twenty days ago;

it may take three to twelve months.

Leader's kungfu is profound; what must he amend?

It involves the Mongols and Ancient Tomb.

Ancient Tomb?

They want to develop skills to defeat High Monk Jinlun

or Ancient Tomb if they seek revenge.

To avoid disaster, Teacher and the 4 Elders went into seclusion

to create an amazing martial art skill to protect Quanzhen's reputation

and to protect our country and its people.

So that's why they summoned me to be Acting Leader.

On arrival, you must take up your post.

Your official inauguration must wait till Leader ChuJi emerges.

We'll hurry off after our meal.

Okay, let's eat.

Bring tea.

She is here.

What are you pondering?

Nothing; all's as it should be.

Waiter.

She isn't Li Mochou?

She is Li Mochou's Junior,

Miss Xiao Long Nu.

Ancient Tomb is Quanzhen's enemy; she has ill intent.

She's here to kill me.

As Leader, you must be safe.

Leave first; I'll stop her.

Forget it; let her be.

It's my fate.

She has great kungfu; don't obsruct her.

No wonder you're Acting Leader.

In calmness alone, which student surpasses you?

It's not calmness; I'm just expecting her to kill me.

Let's go.

I've seen you and Zhao JiJing duel.

You two are comparable in martial skills.

But when it comes to character, that's a different matter.

We're at the mountain foot; our Brothers will greet us.

Miss Long can't do anything now.

- She didn't follow. - It's best she retreats.

Reverend, welcome back.

We waited ages for you.

- After you. - Please.

Rotten woman!

I'll go back to the Valley one day.

Wait till she's in my grasp.

I'll torture her and let her beg for her life.

This scenery is nice.

Brother, Jianghu has a vicious repute, but we haven't experienced it.

Jianghu is so peaceful, I can't act as a hero.

That's child's talk. How can you know the Jianghu?

Not everyone has peace. Are you wanting trouble?

But isn't peace better for everyone?

Brother Yelu, aren't I right?

Of course; peace is better than killing.

See, at leisure with two beautiful sisters, I can enjoy "accomplished nature".

"Unhurried nature accomplishes everything". What about, "He without desire is at peace".

Though don't let 'sister-in-law' go.

What are you saying?

- Wanyan, my brother is a good man. - Yan, stop fooling.

- Don't. - Sis, don't talk rot; she likes someone else.

Is that so? Who is he?

I don't have anyone.

Is he Yang Guo?

No, don't misunderstand.

Yang Guo's like my brother.

Just like your brother; nothing's between us.

You see him as a 'brother'; he mightn't see you as a 'sister'.

Sister Yan, I can't out-talk you.

Don't miss out on a good husband.

See how shy you are.

Sis, not everyone is like you.

If you don't say your feelings, how'll she know? Right, Sister?

Enough talk about this.

Wait here while I get water at the river.

Okay.

- You talk too much. - What'd I do wrong?

She looks like Sister Liu,

not as fair but still a beauty.

Who are you?

Miss, you're alone; like some company?

Go away or I'll be impolite.

Let's see your impoliteness.

- You smell nice. - Stop!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine; you came in time.

Don't worry; I'll handle him.

Damn brat! I'll sleep with them.

"A dirty mouth can't talk decently".

Sis, be careful!

Heaven sent me two beauties!

Why not be my wives?

Little beauty, I won't injure you.

Sister Yan.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- Run away now! - Brother.

That man won't kill Brother; let's go.

- Leaving? Not that easy. - Stop!

Brat, you're not my match; get lost.

Why's Dad so stubborn?

Why aren't we going back to Xiangyang to get our Teachers' help?

Dad is tenacious; and our Teachers can't leave Xiangyang.

Hurry up.

Beauties, wait for me.

- It's them. - Let's go.

- Miss Wanyan, what's going on? - He propositioned us.

Rot! Don't even dare!

Arrogant young punks.

Wannabe-heroes; what a joke.

- Beauties, who dies first? - Don't!

- I won't, if you do what I want. - What do you want?

- What do you think? - Scum.

- Vile! - Shrews.

- Watch them die. - Stop!

Can't bear it? Okay, strip off.

Don't run or I'll kill them.

And you won't escape.

Strip!

Ignore this evil lecher!

If you have guts, kill me.

I'll kill you first.
