Love a Lifetime

Episode 2

[After passing the gate to the monastery, enter the tunnel to meet me.]

Lin Jing.

You said you would get up early in the morning and practice swordsmanship with me, right?

Let's go.

Hurry up.

It is really weird here.

Master Rong, what are you doing?

Last night was not enough for you?

How dare you break into our forbidden area today?

You don't want your daughter to see the blood on your hands, do you?

Lin Jing.

You said you would get up early in the morning and practice swordsmanship with me, right?

What brings you here?

You got the point.

He broke into our forbidden area of the Roaring Dragon City.

He deserves the punishment now.

Lucky for you, you are not dead.

It's my fault to break into the forbidden area.

I'll remember this lesson you taught me.

I'll bring you back first.

Let's go.

See you later, Master Rong.

Don't worry, Hua. He's fine.

But this wound is really deep.

Fortunately, his vitals are not injured.

My dear disciple,

go make some tonics

for my recuperation.

You want something delicious?

I'm also hungry right now.

Keep an eye on him, Hua.

Don't let him run around. He dares to go wherever he wants.

My dear grand-disciple, you went to the forbidden area to find me

because you missed me, right?

What are you talking about?

You agreed to practice swordsmanship with me, didn't you?

I had searched the whole Dragon Howl City, but I didn't find you.

Then the Flower Sea came to my mind.

If I...

Wait a second.

Take a look at this.

See if you can recognize whose handwriting it is.

I've never seen this handwriting before.

Presumably it belongs to no one in Dragon Howl City.

If it belongs to no one in Dragon Howl City,

how did he know the area is forbidden?

Since it is forbidden,

why is there no guard?

Looks like I smelt

a very powerful stun gas

while I was sleeping.

If I'm right, this stun gas

made me think that it was you who came for me.

Stun gas?

It's Auntie.

If it was Auntie,

she must have received the order from Dad.

After this, you should know

that Dragon Howl City is not a place of peace.

I've already known what Dragon Howl City is like.

Now that you know that, why are you still staying here?

Could it be that the girl marrying you is terrifying?

She's a nice girl.

I'm just afraid I might waste her time.

My mother told me

that girl looks beautiful, has a nice personality

and a good family background.

She's good in all aspects.

Since she's so good,

you should go back immediately and marry her.

Don't stay here.

However good she is,

she won't be my wife in my lifetime.

What's wrong with you?

Hurry, get me to the bed.

Alright.

Don't move, or my wound will rupture.

OK, I won't move.

You must take good care of me

in the following days.

Once I recover from the injury,

and you don't want me to stay here anymore,

I won't pester you shamelessly.

Fine, you are the boss.

You are really leisurely and carefree.

You know, Lin Jing...

Stop acting dumb, Lu Yizhou.

Lin Jing broke into the forbidden area of Dragon Howl City by mistake,

and was captured by Master Rong.

Your intention is exposed.

Leave here quickly, otherwise you will die.

The Chihua Pill is the most precious thing in Dragon Howl City.

Unfortunately, however, we are never interested in it.

Born as a human, one should either live at ease

or die in a clean manner.

Why should we cling to life and muddle along?

Not everyone in this world takes the Chihua Pill as a treasure.

I can only say that the people in your City have shallow insights.

You...

How the Chihua Pill works to save people

is not a secret that only Master Rong knows.

You don't want to visit Lin Jing?

Lin Jing broke into the forbidden area by mistake,

and he's already seriously wounded.

Would you like the white or the black?

Lu Yizhou.

I don't have time to think about other things

until this Go game is over.

It's better if he suffers a little bit in Dragon Howl City.

If he didn't get a sword cut at this point,

he would have to take several stabs once he comes back.

You'd better choose the white, Miss Rong Su.

In this case, you have a better chance to win.

I want the black.

Auntie?

I brought some medicine for you, Rong Su.

Take a seat, Auntie.

Time for you to take the medicine.

As you haven't recovered from injury, you shouldn't overwork,

or you might recover incompletely.

Allow me.

Here you are.

Thanks a lot.

Don't worry, Auntie.

I am different from Rong Hua.

You need to worry about her health.

I know you are in a bad mood,

but Master Rong asked you to oversee the affairs together

just to let both of you gain more experience.

Moreover, Rong Hua has got no sign of disease for a decade.

Rong Hua isn't cured, but Master Rong tried to

suppress the pathogen in her body.

If some big event occurs to the City in the future,

and she happens to be sick again,

who should be in charge of Dragon Howl City?

Don't talk about this again.

Master Rong is still fine here.

How can you make groundless assumptions about the future control

over Dragon Howl City?

Master Rong must have done this for a reason.

Ma'am.

Greetings, Ms. Ziyan.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Ma'am.

What's this?

Mr. Lu sent his man to deliver it to the guards outside the City.

Thanks for the game.

You chose to lose the game from the beginning.

Your distinctive approach is good, but most often,

turning the tide is just a wishful thinking of the common people.

I hope you can make your choice prudently next time.

I hope you can practice your Go skills hard

and have a game with me again if there's a chance.

Shall I throw it away, ma'am?

No.

Since I lost to him, I must bounce back.

I'm wounded.

It hurts.

It does hurt.

Finally, you came to me?

You always tried your best to visit me when I was injured in the past.

But look at yourself now.

You don't care about me at all.

Are you still my brother?

No.

I got to see your real face

the moment you fled from marriage.

You... If you choose to escape marriage someday,

I will still take you as my brother.

I won't be cruel and ruthless as you are now.

Look at you.

You need my help?

Well, will you help me or not?

Before long, I'm likely to leave Dragon Howl City.

There's still something

I haven't figured out.

You really think I just wanted to escape marriage?

If so, why did I come to Dragon Howl City?

I was supposed to go somewhere else.

I'm afraid that my life might be in danger this time.

If some accident occurs to me,

life and death will separate us.

You will be no longer in trouble by then.

Stop pretending.

Is it a big trouble this time?

No, not at all.

You can manage it completely.

No. Do it again.

So this is what Bai Weizhi taught you?

Watch it carefully.

This is a defensive move.

I'm your grandmaster now.

Would you practice more seriously?

Since you are practicing swordsmanship, you should be doing it without distractions.

Are you OK?

Yes.

In front of your father,

you protected me on grounds of practicing swordsmanship.

I promised to seriously teach you swordsmanship.

In this case, we are even.

What brings you here, Dad?

Master Rong.

Looks like you've recovered

from your injury.

And you can even teach Rong Hua swordsmanship here.

In that case, I have to be straight forward.

No outsider is welcome to Dragon Howl City,

so please leave tomorrow.

Dad!

Enough.

This is a permanent rule of Dragon Howl City.

I hope you can understand, Mr. Lin.

Your order is really straight forward.

Well, in that case, I won't make my grand-disciple

and my disciple embarrassed.

You are the boss, Master Rong.

Supreme Master.

Supreme Master, everything has been arranged.

Since I bounce back

and get into Jianghu again,

the peace in Dragon Howl City will come to an end.

No one comes to see me off?

How heartless they are!

You should complete what Master Rong assigned you.

Don't worry, Su.

I won't delay anything.

By the way, I need to go out

to replenish the stocks of some medicinal herbs for the Hall of Life.

The drug in the tea can trigger her cold disease.

Once the cold disease attacks her again,

she can't compete with me for the position of the City's master.

No one can protect Rong Hua by then.

The cold disease has not occurred to me for years,

but why does it recur at this moment?

What's the purpose of that opponent?

Is it possible that the opponent wants me dead?

If I'm dead,

who can benefit from it?

Rong Hua.

You finally came to me.

A short time has passed. What's wrong with you?

My cold disease recurs.

Cold disease?

Let me take you to see the doctor.

I'll take you to Dr. Mu's. You will be fine.

I'm with you. Don't be afraid.

They must have known about my injury and gotten fully prepared.

The disciples of the Hall of Emptiness are at a disadvantage.

It cannot go on like this.

Looks like you are in trouble, Miss Rong Su.

These assassins are highly skilled,

judging from their well-trained moves and battle arrays.

I wonder who Dragon Howl City has offended,

leading to such a deadly chase.

Miss Rong Su.

I'm fine. You needn't worry about me.

Ma'am, we've checked the bodies,

but we can't tell which sect they are from.

Who the hell wants to destroy Dragon Howl City?

Lin Jing has left Dragon Howl City.

You are no longer associated with Dragon Howl City,

so please leave with your men immediately and don't linger nearby.

As soon as I got the news,

I sent my men to guard the arteries of Dragon Howl City.

Unexpectedly, however, I didn't find Lin Jing,

but I came across you by coincidence.

I never believed such a coincidence would ever take place in this world.

You happened to be here

just for Lin Jing?

Or is everything a trap

you set up meticulously?

You are oversensitive, Miss Rong.

I'm here for only one purpose...

Finding Lin Jing and bringing him back home.

If the truth is like what you said,

why did I save you unnecessarily?

I don't know that.

After all, my sister Rong Hua disappeared together with Lin Jing.

They even evaded the scouts of Dragon Howl City.

Who is controlling this game in secret?

Could it be...?

Goodbye, Miss Rong Su.

If I have any news about your sister,

I'll notify you as soon as I got it.

Today I will drive the Chihua Pill into Master Xue's heart

to prolong his life.

From now on,

the Xue family will only take orders from Dragon Howl City.

Recently, something unusual happened in Dragon Howl City.

Do you know what happened?

Master Rong will deal with what happened in Dragon Howl City.

You needn't worry, Dad.

Nevertheless,

I have to rely on Master Rong

to prolong my life with his cure in the future.

If something bad occurs to Dragon Howl City,

my life will be in danger.

So what's your plan, Dad?

Well, go inquire about

what happened to Dragon Howl City.

It'll be incumbent upon the Xue family to offer help

if we are needed.

You are...

Looks like a storm is raging in Dragon Howl City.

Why are you still so cold?

Look at you.

You've been sick like this since I left several hours ago.

What if I'm not with you in the future?

It's really cold.

It's so cold.

I must have owed you in my previous life.

Here you are.

Come on.

We had a deal before

that you would just quietly take me to see Dr. Mu, let him treat me,

and then you'd give me a ride.

How could everything have gone so wrong?

Now Dr. Mu is not in this house,

and your disease can't be delayed,

I can only find Bai here to treat you.

I'm going to bring him here.

No.

Don't tell anyone about the recurrence of my cold disease.

Are you kidding me?

You trust no one in the whole Dragon Howl City?

Then what should I do?

I'm not good at medical skills.

You can use acupuncture

with moxibustion.

The moxa contains musk,

ginger juice,

and...

And what?

And...

I can only make every possible effort.

All that I do is for treating you.

Don't try to hold me accountable later.

I'll take it for granted if you don't talk.

Are you feeling better?

Why are you getting colder and colder?

I'll bring you back to Dragon Howl City.

Who are you?

Rong Hua?

Her cold disease recurs, right?

Well, you go to the backyard.

In the innermost basket there are herbs prepared for her.

Crush them and bring the medicine, I'll take care of her.

What are you waiting for?

I know you are Lin Jing.

Rong Hua told me about your injury and asked me to treat you, right?

You are Dr. Mu?

My name is Mu Yan.

You are too young!

You don't understand.

I'm young, but my medical skills are much better than yours.

Come on, get up.

Hurry up, get away.

You are so good at medicine?

Come on.

Well, take good care of Rong Hua.

Hurry up.

What happened, Master?

Someone killed Master Xue with one punch,

while the Chihua Pill was destroyed with inner force,

floating over the chest.

His heart was whacked as well.

Don't worry, kid.

Your father died in Dragon Howl City.

I will give your family a satisfactory reply.

Dragon Howl City is heavily guarded.

It's harder to break into than the imperial City.

But someone killed my father

silently inside the City.

I hope you can deal with this impartially

and find the murderer to avenge my dad's death.

Everyone in the Hall of Emptiness.

At your service!

Go hunt Lin Jing and get him back to Dragon Howl City

whether he's dead or alive.

I'll deal with him.

Yes, sir.

Dad!

Lin Jing, I want you to pay for it!

It's her, she's back.

Her pathogenic cold has been suppressed.

She's OK?

But her recurrence this time

should have been triggered by someone.

What do you mean?

She shows a sign of intoxication,

but the person who drugged her mitigated the dosage.

So she was not severely harmed.

I'm sure that the person behind this knows Rong Hua really well

and is fully aware of her disease.

What's the toxin she got?

The cold rouge powder.

This medicine tastes acrid and bitter.

It is of greatly cold nature, highly poisonous and hard to get.

So we can rule out the possibility that she ate it by mistake.

However, the person behind this must have been planning this for long.

Perhaps... she's already known who drugged her,

but she didn't say who it is.

Well, if she's got this cold disease,

she can't practice internal force, right?

No, she can't.

One with a cold disease cannot practice internal force.

In case of any carelessness,

their cold disease might be triggered once the internal force cannot be controlled.

When this is severe, they would die.

As a beloved daughter of the Rong family in Dragon Howl City,

she's been set up for life.

How could she get the cold disease?

One year, her mother was being hunted

and forced to give birth in a cold lake.

So the chill intruded her body when she was born.

Fortunately, her father spent lots of money on medicine for her.

Otherwise, she might have died with her mother.

Although she preserved her life,

she was tortured by the cold disease every time it recurred.

She suffered a lot in her childhood.

Come on.

Let me take your pulse and see if you are better.

I don't need you to take my pulse.

Lin Jing's pulse seems unusual.

He's got quite some potential.

You've recovered very well.

But remember, you should take medicine on time,

otherwise your wound will get infected and result in inflammation.

By taking your pulse,

I think your internal force is amazing,

but...

well...

But what?

Well... nothing.

Sometimes my diagnosis might be wrong.

It could be wrong.

Well, just tell me whatever you want to.

Although your martial arts skills

are quite excellent,

I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to make further progress.

Unless...

…you place yourself on a field of death before fighting hard to live.

What do you mean?

I can't let the cat out of the bag.

What the hell... What the hell are you talking about?

Any news about Rong Hua?

Ma'am.

What's this?

It is from Lingxu Pavilion.

They claimed that they would entertain

and take good care of our men for us.

Maybe the scouts we sent are still alive.

If the disciples of the Hall of Emptiness are captured,

they will definitely crush the poison tooth hidden in their mouth and kill themselves.

But now, they even can't die as they wish.

Looks like Lingxu Pavilion is so cruel

that they can make one suffer between life and death.

Don't worry, ma'am.

Maybe Lingxu Pavilion had no other choice than doing so

because they failed to get any information.

What shall we do next?

Lingxu Pavilion has the right to determine their life and death.

Of course we can't take rash actions.

Don't make it widely known.

Since they are detained in Lingxu Pavilion,

I've never planned to let them come back alive.

Currently, what happened in the City matters.

I'll go find where Rong Hua is.

Master Xue's incident should be also figured out as soon as possible

without delay.

Tell me!

If you confess early,

I can spare your life.

As long as you write down what you know,

I'll let my men send you back to Dragon Howl City.

Why did it take you so long to regret?

What happened to him?

He died of poisoning, Mrs. Lin.

Dragon Howl City is so vicious

that they even neglect their disciples' lives.

No wonder he kept silent all the time.

He knew his death would arrive soon.

He would still die of poisoning even if we didn't kill him.

Looks like the Hall of Emptiness of Dragon Howl City

trains dare-to-die warriors.

He wouldn't confess anything even if he was not poisoned.

Is there any news about him?

Go arrange a funeral for him.

No, not for the moment.

Let him rest in peace.

Since we serve different masters,

Master Lin, the doctor said

none of us should be blamed.

You couldn't wait any longer.

Only the Chihua Pill can help extend your life.

Now the young master hasn't come back.

You have to take care of your health and make a decision soon.

So what if we can get the Chihua Pill?

It's just another way of being miserable.

The Chihua Pill

is extracted from the flowers and leaves of some exotic plant.

It blooms twice a year.

A Chihua Pill can be extracted

from the red flowers during the first flowering cycle

and the antidotes can be extracted

from the white flowers during the second cycle.

After getting into the patient's body, the Chihua Pill

will take the patient as its host

and live together with the host.

That's why it rapidly cures the patient's disease.

And at the same time,

the rest part of the patient's body

will be devoured too.

And in the end,

the host will be exhausted.

Since it's so dangerous, why do so many people

go and beg Dragon Howl City for it?
