[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 2]

Young Master,

I applied

to be your surveyor.

Not your pretty girl who idles around with you.

Tell me.

Why do you

want to get close to me?

You tried so hard to stay around me.

That's fine.

Now you want to be my girl?

Did you just call yourself a pretty girl?

You're just a girl.

Have I

passed the test or not?

If he goes back on his word,

it'll be hard for us to meet again.

See?

You're trying to cozy up to me again.

Seems that you are determined

to be my girl.

Young Master, you misunderstood.

I...

I've seen

too many women like you

who played hard to get.

I have to please him

so I can stay around him.

Young Master,

I can't help but be drawn

to your manly chest.

So, Young Master,

please try not to be so charming

in front of me.

That's my fault?

Judging from what she said,

it's your fault, Young Master.

Did I talk to you?

You didn't,

but that doesn't change what she meant.

I love whatever she says.

All right. You passed the test.

Thank you, Young Master.

I will devote myself

to you and Cangyue City.

Jiang Chaoxi,

after I get in your house,

I'll eventually find a chance

to kill you without anyone knowing.

Go back.

Come to my mansion tomorrow.

Thank you, Young Master.

Check her background.

Don't miss any details.

I wonder

how Ham is doing now.

Don't worry.

Ham

must have gone out for fun.

It's spring now.

All living things have come back to life.

Young Master.

Young Master,

the Western Region just sent

some honey melons as tribute.

I'll go get some

to feed Bacon.

He is quite smart.

Unluckily, he works for my father.

You got anything to say?

I've figured it out.

Yunxi came from Jianjia Alley in the south of the city.

Her parents died young. She's an orphan.

She lives with

other homeless people.

She lives off selling maps.

So we live

in different worlds.

I don't remember

offending her.

Why did she want to kill me?

She was the assassin?

I'll go kill her now.

Why are you

as stupid as this pig?

I knew she was the assassin,

but I gave her the chance

to get close to me.

Do you think I did that for fun?

Then why did you do that?

The scent of medicine on her

is familiar to me.

After she comes here,

keep an eye on her.

Yes.

My name is Zhu Wen.

I'm the chief steward of this mansion.

Miss Yunxi,

just call me Steward Zhu.

If you need anything

in the future,

just let me know.

Thank you, Steward Zhu.

I knew people here were not to be underestimated.

Thank god I didn't rush into anything.

Pepper.

Steward Zhu,

what are you doing here?

This is Miss Yunxi,

the surveyor Young Master hired

to help him build Cangyue City.

She'll live with you.

No problem.

I'll take care of her. Don't worry.

Are you really a surveyor

coming here to help build Cangyue City?

Yeah.

I passed

test after test to be here.

What does Young Master see in you?

Talent.

Liar.

Be honest with me.

Have you fallen in love with Young Master?

Being his surveyor is just an excuse

to approach him, right?

Fall in love with him?

How is that possible?

How is that impossible?

Young Master

is so eye-catching

and handsome.

He's an excellent man.

Of course you would fall in love with him.

Fine.

I've fallen in love.

You...

How could you have

such dangerous feelings?

Young Master is not someone you can covet.

Then should I fall in love

or not?

You're wrong either way.

Young Master

is the eagle in the sky.

And you

are nothing but a worm on the ground.

You must always revere

Young Master.

Understand?

Don't worry.

I know

Young Master is beyond my reach.

By the way,

I don't know

what your job is.

Me?

I'm not bragging,

but I am

Young Master's favorite baker.

I've chatted with you for so long.

I need to go back to make desserts

for Young Master.

How is it going today?

I could only have him drink half of the soup in the bowl.

If it goes on like this,

the ginseng soup

won't be able to

bring this dying man back.

It seems

that only Fengchi can wake him up.

The doctor said

we can force him to be awake

for about five minutes.

It'll be enough for you

to find out your parentage.

-Why… -Don't mention it again.

I want to find out

my parentage,

but I can not

let Luo Hexuan's life be the cost.

Lord Luo.

Lord Luo.

Where are you?

Besides,

if it weren't for me,

the Luo family wouldn't have been...

Besides Fengchi,

keep looking for

Luo Hexuan's sister.

I owe them this.

Yes, Young Master.

Yunxi.

Pepper.

Aren't you baking

for Young Master?

Why are you here?

I'm done.

I'm about to send this to Young Master.

What a coincidence.

I'm going to see Young Master about work.

Let me bring it to him.

Don't bother.

I'm not bothered.

Pepper,

you can see Young Master

every day.

Please give this chance to me.

We are good friends, aren't we?

You said

you would take care of me.

We're not good friends.

I don't even know you well.

Pepper.

Please.

Okay.

I'll help you just once.

It won't happen again.

Go. Fetch the ball.

Young Master ordered you to fetch the ball.

How could you let Wuyan

fetch the ball?

Greetings, Young Master.

I'm here to discuss with you

my duty.

You recruited me.

I need to do my job.

Young Master,

do you have any work for me?

You're right.

I didn't hire you to sit about in my mansion.

Great.

Planning Room has been busy

designing the water supply

and sewage system of the city.

What's your opinion?

First, we should build

more ditches in the city

to make clean water available.

The sewage system should be built underground.

What's more…

Stop.

I don't want to hear the details.

These things give me a headache.

You just

go back to your room and draw the drafts.

If they are feasible,

I'll order someone to work on them.

Yes, Young Master.

Young Master,

I brought you desserts.

Try them when they are hot.

Young Master,

they won't taste good if they get cold.

Eat them now.

Bacon, try this.

Young Master,

these desserts were made for you.

How can you give them to a pig?

What are you talking about?

These desserts

were specially made for the pig.

Look at the shape of them.

They're for the pig!

Pepper should've told me about it.

If Bacon dies,

Jiang Chaoxi will be alert.

Here.

Bacon, good boy.

Have some desserts.

Bacon, good boy.

Eat it.

Sorry, Young Master.

It's all my fault.

I'm so clumsy.

You meant it, didn't you?

You're looking at me so lewdly.

How dare you

covet your Young Master?

I...

Young Master, I need to correct you.

What I covet is the dessert.

It's a new stunt I learned for you.

It's called…

Bloody Romance.

Yeah, Bloody Romance.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

Fate is unpredictable.

The poison of heartburn makes

any other poison less fatal.

Or I would've been dead.

I know you were expecting

someone else.

Sorry to disappoint you.

You're dressed in such a bright color.

Before I came close,

I thought you were a girl.

Get changed.

Get rid of those pink clothes.

No.

Yunxi likes

me wearing pink clothes.

But she's not here.

Why don't you sneak into

the Young Master's Residence to see her?

So you don't have to take it out

on these stones.

It's fine if you don't wanna go.

You'll only get in her way of finding a good husband.

Aunt!

I'm leaving.

Jiang Chaoxi,

in three days,

you will die quietly

without anyone knowing.

And I

will leave unscathed.

Why hasn't he gone to bed?

The pills can only kick in

when he's asleep.

Young Master,

there are so many drafts.

I'm afraid you can't

finish reading them any time soon.

Why don't you…

Time is ticking. There's lots of work to do.

Even if I have to stay up all night,

I'll finish reading them.

How about this?

Tonight,

I'll stay here with you.

No need!

I'll skim through them myself.

Skim through?

How dare you be so irresponsible?

Sorry.

I mean,

I will review all the drafts

carefully.

Forget it.

I'll go back to sleep.

Jiang Chaoxi,

in three days,

you'll find yourself in the netherworld.

Yunxi.

Yunxi.

Slow down.

Why are you dressed so?

Do you know how conspicuous you are in the dark?

I just want to see you.

No one has noticed you yet.

Leave now.

How are you doing here?

Has anyone messed with you?

Have you felt uncomfortable again?

Don't worry.

I'm having a good time here.

No one dares to mess with me.

I'm so worried.

Go back with me.

I eat meat and desserts

every meal here.

If I go back,

I'll be busy running around

for the people in Jianjia Alley.

I won't leave.

I'm fine here.

Liar.

You just want to kill Jiang Chaoxi, right?

I'll kill him for you now.

We're all adults.

Don't be so impulsive.

Besides,

there's no problem

that can't be solved with money.

I work here.

He pays me every day.

It's great.

You're lying again.

By the way,

it's time for you to shoulder

the burden of taking care of Jianjia Alley.

Making money to support the family

can't be done only by talking.

You need to do something practical.

I...

I can make money myself.

I can escort goods with caravans.

I can also deliver letters.

I can afford

the whole Jianjia Alley

and you.

Okay.

Then prove it to me

with practical actions.

Okay.

The medicine should be working.

Young Master.

You're quite diligent.

Please have a seat.

Young Master, are you feeling unwell?

I'm sleepy.

You worry about the country and the people

and work hard

to build the Cangyue City day and night.

I feel inspired.

You're quite good.

You know mapping,

planning,

feng shui

and how to flatter others.

All of my words are sincere.

It's annoying to hear too much flattering.

Have you finished

the plan of water diversion and sewage discharge?

Tell me about it.

As for water,

we can dig

more artificial rivers inside the city.

It can solve

people's difficulties in using water.

As for pollution,

we can dig more drainage ditches.

The ponding in the ditches

will finally flow into

the Zhaohe River in the west of Cangyue City.

With the help of the terrain high in the east and low in the west,

we can quickly get the ponding out of Cangyue City.

Then

how can you drain off water

where it is inconvenient to dig ditches?

Please have a look.

I've marked it here.

We can dig a drainage culvert

like a shaft.

Young Master.

You may leave now.

Young Master.

Commander Xiao is using the demolition of the city

to count the population.

He seems to be looking for

Luo Hexuan.

Brother.

He has spent eight years looking for a Fengchi

with a sheer waste of energy and money.

I just don't get it.

Why must he seek immortality?

Now Luo Hexuan

is unconscious here,

and his sister is missing.

We've completely lost

the clue of Fengchi.

My brother is not dead.

Who's outside?

Pig!

Young Master.

I'm drying your pillow.

But it's cloudy.

Young Master, there's something you don't know.

Cloudy or sunny,

it's actually based on

how much

the clouds block the sun.

But the effect is the same.

You are so noble.

Your health also concerns

the whole mansion.

I care about your health.

It's a responsibility I cannot relinquish

and I'm at my service around your horse.

There is a full-time maid

responsible for drying my pillow.

You don't have to

worry about it.

How can a maid know how to dry the pillow?

A maid doesn't know the Eight Diagrams of Yin and Yang

and feng shui.

You need to put the pillow in the correct direction

when drying it.

Once the direction is wrong,

it not only doesn't work,

but also will backfire.

Nonsense.

♫I like being behind you♫

♫Even the evening wind has become very gentle♫

♫The feeling of happiness bit by bit♫

You...

What are you doing?

♫Time seems to be stopped♫

I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable

to inhale these silk cotton.

Don't you feel I will feel bad

if you press on me like this?

Tell me.

Why did you

steal my pillow?

I...

Of course I care about you.

I want to get along with you day and night.

I stole a pillow because I missed you so much.

You want to get to the bottom of the matter,

but you really don't know my feelings.

Young Master.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What's the matter?

Young Master.

What exactly is going on

with Yunxi?

Didn't she want to kill you?

Why did she destroy

the pillows with medicine?

Listen,

it's rare for me to meet

such an interesting person.

A toad needs to be boiled in warm water.

Understand?

Cousin.

Cousin.

I'm back.

Why is Fengyi back?

Let's go! Hurry up!

Cousin.

What are you doing?

Go away!

Cousin.

Where are you going?

Hide and seek.

-There you are. -Cousin.

Wuyan. Why are you stopping me?

That's right.

Cousin, ignore him.

Cousin.

I just came back from grandma's house.

I heard about it on the way.

If you save someone three times,

she'll be your destiny.

No need to say.

This person must be me.

Let's start now.

Start what?

Help me!

Help...

Weapons are not allowed in the Young Master's Residence.

Cousin.

I'm here.

Cousin.

Miss.

-Miss. -My butt!

It hurts!

Miss Fengyi...

To be frank,

she has already been designated

to be Young Master's wife.

If you marry her,

it will be more lively

in the Young Master's Residence.

Exactly.

Maybe Young Master

is too picky.

After all,

Miss Nangong Siyan

is talented and good-looking.

Nangong Siyan?

She is the granddaughter of Chairman Nangong.

She is the famous beauty

recognized by all people in the Cangyue City.

She's good at everything.

Even if I stand in front of her,

I'm a little inferior, too.

You're so modest.

Cousin, give me a hug.

It hurts.

Young Master.

I...

My hair.

Gosh.

It hurts.

What can I do for you?

Cousin.

Let me introduce.

This is Yunxi.

She just came here.

She's my right-hand assistant now.

No matter what I do now,

I can't do it without her.

She is so important to me.

Yunxi.

Miss Fengyi. How are you?

I'm not good.

Young Master.

Aren't you very mean

to do this?

The melon seeds are delicious, right?

I think

it's definitely not enough for you

to just watch it aside.

The highest level of being a looker-on

is to participate.

I'll leave this to you.

Cousin.

I have something to do.

If you have any questions,

you can ask Yunxi.

I can rest assured

if she does things.

What's your name?

What is your relationship with my cousin?

Why does he value you so much?

Tell me.

Did you poison my cousin?

You must be joking.

Jiaobai.

Give this stubborn mouth

ten slaps first.

Yes.

The one Young Master likes is you.

Wait.

What did you say?

My cousin likes me?

You are so delicate and cute.

Even a woman like me

can't help falling in love.

Young Master...

How could he not feel anything?

Besides,

look at my face.

Is it comparable to yours?

You said Young Master liked me.

Isn't that self-descending?

That's true.

Few people in the Cangyue City

are prettier than me.

Wait.

Then why did he say

that you two had a relationship?

He wants you to be jealous.

Jealous?

But why hasn't he never said

that he likes me?

Instead,

he's always avoiding me.

Miss, think about it.

A man is broad-minded.

How can he

speak freely

about his love affair?

Besides,

he is

such a noble man

who cares about the world.

You have a point.

But

from now on,

you must leave here.

You are not allowed to see him again.

Young Master.

Did they quarrel

because of me?

They did.

But then Miss Fengyi

was subdued.

No.

No.

Did she punish Yunxi?

Didn't I ask you to watch her?

No.

They have already

become good sisters.

Yunxi promised

to be the little magpie of love

between you and Miss Fengyi.

Little magpie of love?

I will break

her little wings.

Rumor has it

that my daughter Fengyi

has been saved by Young Master three times in a row.

Commander Xiao.

If committing suicide

and waiting to be saved

can also be called as fate,

then Siyan and Young Master

have been close friends for a long time.

This is true fate.

You...

It's the so-called matchmaking

of beauty and talent.

How about this?

Let's hurry to find a time

to finish the marriage

between Young Master and Fengyi.

Uncle,

I can't decide

my marriage.

It all depends on my parents,

all the lords and you

to discuss.

Father.

I promised you

to focus on

the construction work

of the Cangyue City.

You're right.

It's rare that Xi has such an ambition.

How about this?

Let's put marriage aside

for now.

We'll discuss it after the city is completed.

Jiang Chaoxi.

You are so disrespectful to me.

I will

teach you a lesson.

[Eastern Mansion of Xiao'ao]

Slow down.

Young Master.

This way, please.

Let's watch it here.

You are so busy.

It's already a blessing for people in Cangyue

that you can inspect Zhaohe River in person.

Young Master.

It's dangerous by the river.

You'd better not go.

We're not going.

Young Master.

The position of the culvert

is related to the drainage system

of the whole Cangyue City.

It's very important.

Please choose carefully.

Let's go there.

Let's go.

This place is nice.

The terrain is low enough.

The soil is not good.

The culverts need overall strength

and stability.

The soil here

is not good enough to support the design load.

Wuyan. Prepare the boat.

How long will it take

if we have to walk?

Yes.

Young Master.

We've enjoyed the scenery

and caught the fish.

Time to work.

We have to continue to survey

along the downstream.

We...

You can measure it yourself.

I have deigned

to come here with you.

I advise you not to push your luck.

Fine.

I won't force you if you don't want to do it.

Let's

drift on the river for a few days.

The bamboo pole.

Oh no.

Is it useful to look at me?

Hurry up and think of a way.

I do mapping.

I'm not the Dragon King.

What can I do?

How dare you answer back?

Do you believe

that I will throw you down to feed the fish?
