Love a Lifetime

Episode 10

I've waited for you for a long time.

Don't move.

Stay still!

Don't move.

We're just a group of escorts passing by here.

Please forgive us

if we have disturbed you

And please

let us through.

I've been following you guys since you came out

of Longyin City.

You say you're escorts?

I don't believe that.

What a naive trick

your young master has come up with.

It might fool other people,

but I'm not

so easily deceived.

Hand over the antidote,

so that I won't kill you guys.

No way!

Please take a look, Miss Liuli.

There's not a task assigned by the Union Leader

that I cannot accomplish.

Bury them carefully

so that no one can find any trace.

Yes.

No time for that now.

Let's go.

Examine carefully

and see if the antidote is still here.

Yes.

I'm late.

Young Master ordered me to come to their aid,

but

some people had come before me.

Reporting.

No antidote has been found.

You guys stay here to examine more carefully.

Do not omit any clue.

Yes.

Stop.

No one is allowed to come in

without permission by the master.

I've come to Lingxu Pavilion today

to visit the master,

and plead with her to save my brother out of Longyin City.

The master had promised

to regard our Mei Family as her family,

so I'm sure she won't ignore my brother's misfortune.

Please show your kindness and let me through,

gentlemen.

We can't do this without the master's order.

Please don't embarrass us.

If you do this again, Miss Mei,

we shall not be polite to you.

What are you squabbling about?

Master Lin.

Master Lin!

Master Lin,

rumors have spread all over Jianghu

that my brother killed Master Xiao

and has been arrested by Longyin City.

You two are dismissed.

Yes.

It is not clear whether my brother is still alive,

so I've come here

to beg for your help, Master Lin.

Do get up.

Stay calm.

Don't forget that

your sworn brother Nalan Yue is also in Longyin City.

He wouldn't watch your brother die without offering help.

I got so anxious upon hearing the news

that I've forgotten

that my sworn brother is still in Longyin City.

Since you've come,

just stay here

for a few days.

You shall be safer here in Lingxu Pavilion.

Since my sworn brother is absent,

I'll accompany you in his stead.

Mrs. Lin,

your health...

I'm okay.

The antidote from Yue is already on the way

and will arrive soon.

Mrs. Lin!

Help!

What should I do?

I've never seen

such a tricky symptom.

Master Lin!

Where's the antidote?

Hurry.

Cangqi,

where's the antidote?

The antidote was snatched away halfway.

The robbers seemed well prepared

and knew Lingxu Pavilion very well.

Oh no,

there must be a spy beside my sworn brother.

Otherwise how could outsiders know

when the antidote was sent out,

and waylay them halfway so precisely?

You're right.

My mind was in such a mess

that I failed to realize this point.

We must quickly inform my sworn brother

that the antidote was snatched away,

that there is a spy beside him,

and that Longyin City is no longer a safe place.

I'll dispatch someone to send a letter now.

No!

Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin!

Mrs. Lin, wake up.

Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin!

Mrs. Lin.

Nalan Yue.

Nalan Yue.

Think about your son Nalan Yue.

He's coming back to see you soon.

Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin,

you must hold on.

During the bout of the Chihua Pill's poison,

the patient would become ghost-like

and have an impulse to kill people, including their loved ones.

I'm afraid there's not much time left for Mrs. Lin.

I've told you long ago

that I should have come

personally to escort the antidote.

It's getting late now

and there's still no news about it.

Now you and I can do nothing but worry about it.

You haven't recovered yet,

and there are so many people watching you,

so I can only let them put on disguise.

But it's so strange that

so many days have passed with no news

about them.

You don't need to worry.

The men escorting the antidote

are all elite disciples of Lingxu Pavilion,

who are extraordinary fighters.

Besides,

there is Cangqi going to their aid,

so there won't be any major accident.

Instead of worrying about him,

you'd better worry about yourself.

Rong Jingfeng will surely

punish you heavily for destroying the antidote.

What else can I do

except for receiving punishment?

It's really a surprise that the red plum

has bloomed again after being taken care of by Mr. Mei.

I find Mr. Mei quite handsome

despite his illness and frailty.

Excuse me, ladies,

where did you get these plum flowers?

I've stayed in the City for a few days

without seeing any plum tree blooming.

There is a plum tree in the courtyard of the house where Mr. Mei

is living as a guest to recuperate,

but somehow it stopped flowering

a few years ago.

Mr. Mei is not only a polite man,

but also loves tending flowers.

Sometime after he has been living there,

the red plum began to flower miraculously on several branches.

That's right.

Even Miss Rong Hua was astonished

and came personally to consult him.

Even Miss Rong Hua came personally to consult him.

Mei Ying is more difficult

to deal with than we had expected.

You'd better think of an idea

to drive him away from Longyin City.

How come you're in such a poetic mood to come here

specially to admire plum flowers?

I've heard some maids saying

that after you've been living here,

this plum tree has begun to blossom again

after years without flower.

I've come here

out of curiosity.

Actually this red plum belongs to an excellent variety.

It's just that your people didn't tend it properly,

and hence it lacked some nutrients.

After I came to live here,

I just gave it some modest care,

after which it began to flower in the right color.

You've been living in our place for quite a long time.

When are you going to reveal the perpetrator behind the scenes?

I suggest that

you do it quickly.

Otherwise you'll keep staying here

and make your sister worried about you.

Is this the so-called "justice" of Longyin City?

You killed Master Xiao,

but my father still treats you with politeness.

How can you say that?

Don't forget that

my sister meant to kill you.

Miss Rong Hua,

do you know the origin of the Hall of Seniority?

Sure.

This hall has a collection of thousands of books.

I used to study there in my childhood.

How can I not know?

By the way,

is there anything you're implying

by asking me this?

Seems that there's really something you don't know.

All the books in the Hall of Seniority

were plundered from various martial families.

In order to obtain these valuable books on martial arts,

they threatened and bribed the owners, and even resorted to violence.

If this is the so-called "justice" of Longyin City,

then I have nothing to say.

You're lying.

Those books were sent here by them personally.

How could there be threatening and bribing?

Who in the world

would dare to admit that they had been coerced to do so?

Is your Mei Family...

That's right.

It also includes martial arts books of our Mei family.

I was very young at that time,

but I still remember

my father helplessly

and unwillingly

handing over those valuable books to Longyin City.

Are you telling the truth?

I'm not telling this purposefully.

It's just that I feel like speaking it out

because I've been keeping it secret

for too long.

Miss Rong Hua,

this is for you.

Lin Jing.

What are you doing here?

Lin Jing.

Rong Hua.

Come on, take a walk with me.

These plum flowers are so pretty.

Just some tiny flowers.

I don't see anything pretty.

Don't they match me quite well?

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

Have I ever been jealous in my life?

What a ridiculous thing you're thinking about.

Look at me in the eye.

Why should I do that?

You are jealous.

Lin Jing.

I've been looking for you for so long. It turns out you're here.

You're in big trouble this time.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Master Rong has decided on the punishment for you.

You'll know it when you reach the gate of the meeting hall.

Just go.

What are you doing?

Hurry, hurry.

Father, how are you going to punish Lin Jing?

Master Rong,

whatever the punishment is,

I'll accept it with no complaint.

Lin Jing, the Hall Master of the Hall of Life,

will be given the punishment

of spreading manure in the Herbal Garden for one month

for his negligence.

During this period, no one in the City is allowed to offer him assistance.

What?

Spreading manure?

Dad,

how can you let him

do such a filthy job?

Let him start from today.

Master Rong has shown his leniency.

This punishment is a little too light,

but such a filthy job

suits you the most, Mr. Lin.

Hope your nose will get through this one month.

Master, what should we do?

He...

He's fortunate enough for not having to

suffer physical punishment.

So stinky.

Really gross!

Let's hurry.

Hurry up.

Bro,

please go. It's quite stinky.

Go.

I'm tired.

Let me take a short break.

Yizhou, Yizhou.

Come on.

Help me carry this.

It's too heavy,

really.

My arm is aching.

Maybe next time.

I'll help you next time.

You...

What a foul smell!

Stop pretending

that your arm or foot aches.

Even my foot also starts aching.

Umm...

Take it.

This is a martial arts book

that our Mei family gave to Longyin City.

It's your family's,

so of course I should give it back to you.

Thank you for making the red plum bloom again.

Do you know how important this book is?

Compared with it, the red plum isn't a big deal at all.

How can you give it to a guy

that isn't a member of Longyin City so easily?

No matter how important it is,

it doesn't belong to Longyin City.

Giving it back to you

is a right thing that I should do for my dad.

I've given it to you.

Then I'd be going.

What?

Miss Rong Su, do you plan to

kill me through Master Rong?

Now you came again to take away my life?

I heard every word

between you and my sister just now.

I really didn't know that you

are so capable of

pleasing those maids

in Longyin City

and even making Rong Hua

steal the martial arts book in Hall of Seniority for you.

If I tell my father about it,

you'll be severely punished.

I had never asked Miss Rong Hua to steal it for me.

She did it voluntarily.

Even Master Rong knows it,

I won't be the one to be punished.

If you really don't like it,

just report it to Master Rong with this book.

I thought it was about some peerless martial arts,

but it turns out that they are just some divination skills.

About what just happened,

I can ignore it.

As long as you keep your mouth shut,

I will let you leave Longyin City alive.

How come I got into this situation and have to live on

under her threat?

Lu Yizhou, Lu Yizhou.

You often mentioned that we were close like brothers,

but when it happened,

you refused to help me with the excuse of your aching arm.

Would a brother do that to me?

Grandmaster.

You finished spreading manure in the Herbal Garden so quickly today.

Quickly?

You want to laugh at me

in the Herbal Garden?

I don't dare to do that.

I prefer to be beaten

rather than be punished this way by Master Rong.

A true man should know when to eat humble pie and when to hold his head high.

It's easy to say that.

How about you have a try?

I don't dare to steal your thunder.

Forget it.

I'll do what I should do.

Thank you so much

for visiting me, an old farmer in the Herbal Garden.

You're welcome, grandmaster.

Grandmaster.

Did you make it to send the antidote to Lingxu Pavilion?

Did you make it to send the antidote there?

Forget it.

These days

I didn't receive any information.

I'm really worried

if anything has occurred on the way.

It needs something else in it.

You, you, you...

Why are you looking at me that way?

I've had a bath,

and I've even washed my clothes.

I don't believe that.

Get out of here.

How can you not believe me?

Come, come smell me.

Stay away from me!

Go, go away.

Stop. Smell me.

That's outrageous.

Take away the soup.

Go.

I will also abandon the pot.

I have really had a good bath.

Young Master, did you get lost?

You've made remarkable progress

in divination skills.

Young Master, do you know

why I accepted being arrested by you

and followed you to Longyin City?

That's because there was something in the Hall of Seniority in Longyin City

that belongs to our Mei family.

I wanted to get it back

by virtue of you.

But unexpectedly, Bai Weizhi is such an excellent martial arts master.

I planned several times but failed.

As I was at a loss,

a pretty girl helped me,

and took out the martial arts book for me stealthily.

Well,

I didn't ask you about it.

Why do you tell me this?

I seem to have a crush on Miss Rong Hua.

And I think

you're not a good match for her at all.

So this time

I will try my best

to win you.

You?

This is a leaf of the Chihua Pill.

That day when I got into Longyin City,

I picked one and kept it.

I thought it would be useful one day.

But I didn't expect

that I would use it so soon.

This leaf is highly toxic.

Smelling the smoke

will intensify the Chihua Pill's backfire.

My dear disciple,

are you

feeling unwell all over?

My good disciple,

remember what I have done for you.

If I hadn't come timely,

I'm afraid you might have

already been in the underworld with Nalan Xi.

Back then in the Ling Sect,

you were the best one

among so many of my disciples in terms of appearance and wisdom.

Now in order to live on,

you care about nothing else,

and become like this.

Stop pretending to feel pity for me.

It seems that after you left me,

you haven't lived a happy life.

If so,

why did you betray and leave me?

Was it me betraying you

or you wanting my death?

Master Lin, are you all right?

Is anything happening in there?

Nothing.

Leave.

Master Lin.

Leave!

Master,

remember,

one day you'll also grow old.

Shut up.

I'm afraid that compared with me,

you may be

even weaker.

The most pathetic thing in your life

is that all your disciples left you.

Even Rong Su, whom you spent energy cultivating since her childhood,

refuses to take your orders.

Now I think

she really hurt you deeply.

Though you still look young,

you feel

much older.

You were not my master long ago.

Why do you save me?

Why?

After all, you used to be my disciple.

I really don't want to

see you being tortured so painfully,

so I came to save you.

I spent much effort on this,

just to let you experience

the pain caused by the Chihua Pill's backfire.

You are saved this time,

but next time it won't be so easy.

You should be careful.

Next year when it recurs and you don't have an antidote,

you should,

you should let Nalan Yue do it.

Guess,

will he do it?

As a matter of fact, you may have another choice.

Since you always want to take revenge on Rong Jingfeng,

you may take this chance

and be with me again.

If Lingxu Pavilion and the Ling Sect cooperate,

I think no one can beat us in the world.

As for the toxin of the Chihua Pill in your body,

I will

give you antidote.

Whether you want to be my enemy

or friend,

think it over.

Master Rong, you can just call me if you need me.

You don't need to come to see me in person.

My disciples told me

that you are good at taking care of flowers,

and that the plum tree, which hadn't bloomed for years,

blossomed in early winter under your care.

Now after I see it,

I believe it.

You are amazing.

What amazes me more is

that you are so happy-go-lucky.

You just escaped death,

but now you are here,

appreciating plum flowers

leisurely.

Please don't laugh at me.

Our Mei family declined years ago, and we stand aloof from the world.

This time after I got out,

I killed our enemy Master Xiao,

and I don't have any regret.

So

every day I live

is a reward.

Aren't you really worried

that you may not be able to stay alive and get out of Longyin City?

To be frank,

this time after I got out,

I don't have the wish to stay alive and go back.

For someone

that doesn't care about his own life,

is there any difference wherever he is?

Young Master Mei,

you are really cheerful.

But it seems as long as they can live on,

who would want to die?

You said those cheerful words,

but you may not

think that way.

Just now I

only used 30 percent of my strength,

and an ordinary person

may just need several days

to recover from it.

But you used your strength to resist it,

and because of that, you got hurt.

If you really

didn't care about your life,

why were you so vigilant?

So whether what you said

was true or not,

only you

know it clearly.

Today you came

not just to test me, right?

Why do you think

we should let you live on?

Master Rong, can you see

when this scar was made?

It looks this sword scar

was made less than a year ago.

Young Master Mei,

what do you mean?

Today since you found it out,

I can tell you everything.

Yes.

Our Mei family did that to the Tang Sect,

but when shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game.

Our Mei family had already been in someone else's plan.

Just

what happened?

That day

after I got the Chihua Pill from the Tang Sect,

I rushed all the way to our Mei family.

But not long after that, I was chased by Lingxu Pavilion.

But at the time, aside from me,

there were also people of

Longyin City at the Tang Sect.

So they were not sure

who got the Chihua Pill.

So

aside from me,

Miss Rong Hua

was also chased by them.

If you don't believe it,

you can call her here

and see if I'm telling the truth.

I told you everything.

I'm wondering

if you want to ask anything else.

Young Master Mei, what if I tell you

I don't believe a word of it?

Kill me.

Longyin City can send people

to investigate in Lingxu Pavilion.

If it's not like what I said, just kill me.

You can do that.

Young Master Mei,

it looks

that you really need to think about

what other value

you have to Longyin City aside from that.

The plum flowers didn't bloom for no reason.

I'm afraid

you don't deserve my value.

By order of Miss Rong, we came to get medicine.

Go get it for us.

Don't you always abide by rules of Longyin City?

Why do you ignore all rules here

in my Hall of Life to get medicine?

Stop talking nonsense.

Miss Rong is waiting for the medicine.

There are four halls in Longyin City.

All others in Jianghu covet the Chihua Pill.

If we in Longyin City

are not united,

something bad

will occur to us.

Since

you came to my Hall of Life to get medicine today,

as the Hall Master of the Hall of Life,

I can tell you

that later,

for the sake of the future of Longyin City,

the Hall of Life

is willing to help

you Hall of Emptiness unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

You were from the outside,

but by luck, you became the Hall Master of the Hall of Life.

On what basis could you say that?

You want to help us wholeheartedly?

You need to know whether our Hall of Emptiness allows it or not first.

You mean,

to you all in the Hall of Emptiness,

the other three halls are outsiders?

Yes, and so what?

The Hall of Emptiness ranks 1st

in Longyin City in terms of strength.

How could you say those words

to us so boldly?

Master Rong, sorry.

Master Rong, please don't kill me.

Master Rong, please don't kill me.

Beat your own mouth.

All of you, listen.

The four halls of Longyin City

are competitors to some degree,

but you are definitely not enemies.

In the future,

if someone else dares to say those words like him,

don't blame me on not showing mercy.

I will follow your order.

In the future we'll stay in harmony with other halls.

OK. You can leave.

Sorry.

Lin Jing.

Today I came here

to ask you something about Hua being attacked.

Come, sit.

Lin Jing.

Recall it carefully.

That day when you saved Hua

from those people of Lingxu Pavilion,

did you find anything strange?

Well, you mean,

those that wanted to kill Miss Rong Hua were from Lingxu Pavilion?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I hadn't known that.

Mei Ying said

that he was intercepted on the way back

and the Chihua Pill was taken away.

I didn't know it

until dad told me that just now.
