Love a Lifetime

Episode 7

Mother.

I have something to announce.

I hope everyone present can be our witness.

Yue,

are you sure?

This first toast is to my mother

for all the efforts she's made to take care of me over the years.

I am grateful for that.

The second toast

is to everyone present.

Without all of your work to pull it together,

our Lingxu Pavilion wouldn't have the status in Jianghu today.

This third toast…

Let me say it.

We drink this third toast

to each other.

Nalan Yue.

Thank you for your promise to me.

Xueman.

This jade is a token I gave you.

In the future, with this token,

you can give orders to people of Lingxu Pavilion.

Look at that.

So nice.

Xueman,

do you really want this?

If Yue forced you to get on board in this, tell me.

I'll help you.

Like him, I'd like to drink these toasts to Master Lin,

everyone of Lingxu Pavilion,

as well as

my sworn brother.

The young master and I have sworn to be brother and sister today.

I will consider him as my real brother

and Master Lin as my family,

and every one of Lingxu Pavilion

as my people.

I'll never go back on this promise.

I, Nalan Yue, swear that in this life

I will take care of my sworn sister.

If I break my oath, I will give up the title as the young master.

Master Lin, don't worry about me.

I think so, too.

Actually, I have known how he feels about me since a long time ago.

Today I became the sworn sister of Young Master so that

Lingxu Pavilion can protect the Mei family

and help us regain the past status we had in Jianghu.

I am just going after my own interests in making this decision.

I hope you can forgive me

for my taking advantage of Lingxu Pavilion.

Yue.

You made such an important decision

while I was in a coma.

You are really good at scheming.

Mother,

I just wanted to give you a surprise.

You see.

You now have another daughter to love you.

Isn't this the best ending we can get?

Right, mother?

Xueman.

From now on, you will be a member of our Lingxu Pavilion.

If anyone opposes you, they're opposing us.

Thank you, Master Lin.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

Thank you all for witnessing this today.

Thank you everyone.

You can leave now.

Hi, my grand-disciple.

Wait for me.

Hey.

Don't be angry.

What's there for me to be angry about?

I'm not angry.

You are the young master here.

How dare I get angry with you?

Besides,

the person you promised to protect is not me.

You should go to Miss Mei.

Who is this sharp-tongued girl?

She speaks in such a caustic way.

Are you jealous?

I am not!

I am just a guest to Lingxu Pavilion.

Why should I be jealous?

When I was in Dragon Howl City,

I've never treated myself as a guest.

So my little grand-disciple, feel free to make yourself at home!

How come I feel that since leaving Dragon Howl City,

you've become increasingly different from before?

It feels as if I've never known you?

I have always been honest with you.

I will never hide anything from or lie to you.

If you want to ask me anything, you can ask now.

But

there are some questions, once you speak them out loud,

the relationship between you and me

may not be as carefree as it is now.

I…

Forget it.

I won't ask anything.

By the way.

I haven't forgotten the fact that you hid your true identity from me.

But the priority right now is your mother's safety.

If my father knows your mother took the Chihua Pill privately

and even looked down upon Dragon Howl City, a person like him

won't hand over the antidote.

Although I helped your mother to survive this time,

it was just a respite.

If the poison of the Chihua Pill backfires,

the threat to her is yet to come.

I will go to Dragon Howl City with you.

I will solve the antidote thing with you too.

But

can we forget about my identity?

Don't worry.

After returning to Dragon Howl City, you'll just be Lin Jing

the master of the Hall of Life.

Nothing more.

Thank you.

But don't choose to forgive me so easily in the future.

Otherwise I don't know how to face you because of guilt.

You

should stop flirting with girls so often.

You can't let every girl you don't like be your sworn sister.

You're right!

I can't do that!

I think I should hurry up and get married now.

So that other girls will give up on me.

Forget it.

Getting married?

Will any girl agree to marry you?

Then do

you agree to marry me?

I won't tell you.

I don't care if you agree or not.

Anyway, I want to and will marry you.

Even if you kill me, there will no other woman

in my heart ever again.

If you really don't like me, or

You don't want me, I can only live with Lu Yizhou

for the rest of my life.

Good for you.

Good for me?

Two pathetic single men living together!

Rong Hua.

Councilor Lu, shall we act low-key tomorrow

to investigate the people of Dragon Howl City?

No.

Rong Su is the master of the Hall of Emptiness.

She is too shrewd for you guys to compete with.

She can see through our plans.

This time we must go head-to-head with her.

The more careful she is, the more boldly we should act.

Let's go.

Someone!

Clean a guest room for this Mr. Lu and send some snacks in the room.

Yes, sir.

Sorry for the trouble I might cause you and

thank you for the hospitality.

Mr. Lu, you are so bold.

You should find a safe place to stay for the night.

But you just came here without being alert.

You are not afraid that I might want to kill you again?

I know my life is worthless in the eyes of you, Miss Rong Su.

But if I die at the Xiaos', who should be responsible for my death?

How is this possible?

I don't know if you can take the responsibility.

Lu Yizhou!

The world is so big, but you have nowhere else to go to?

You have to seek shelter from dangers!

Miss Rong Su, I beg to differ.

I am not here to shelter from dangers.

I actually think the environment here is very peaceful.

Look at the place!

Such a vast open water, fragrant flowers and lush vegetation.

There is no danger.

Miss Rong Su, unless you have other movies.

You!

Mr. Xiao.

This tea is fragrant, fresh, and sweet.

It must be Lu'an tea just picked this spring.

Yes, yes!

This is Lu'an Tea.

It seems that you're also a tea person.

You've been on the road for a few days.

This tea can relieve the heat and quench your thirst.

Come on.

Let me make another pot for you two.

Thank you.

Come on.

Sit down.

Sure.

Ma'am.

Snow Union is willing to share with you Lingxu Pavilion's information

but it will be in exchange for the antidote for the Chihua Pill.

Snow Union is quite greedy.

There is one more thing.

I'm worried that Rong Hua and Lin Jing

might be able to escape from Lingxu Pavilion

and return to Dragon Howl City.

What should we do next?

If Lingxu Pavilion did not make them disappear, then this Lin Jing

really is a strong enemy to deal with.

Whether or not Rong Hua can get the Chihua Pill and get back safely,

we should make a contingency plan.

Lin Jing is tricky.

This time we can never let him succeed again.

Do you have any plan, sir?

I have to go somewhere.

If it works,

our Hall of Emptiness will be safe and can rest easy.

Give my words.

Send extra men to keep an eye on the movement of Lingxu Pavilion.

Even if they can go down the mountain, never allow them

to arrive at Dragon Howl City before us.

Failure is unacceptable in this job.

What should

we do about Lu Yizhou?

Stall him.

This matter is extremely dangerous.

Don't let him get involved.

Master.

Did you have a relapse in the past few days and feel unwell again?

Don't worry about me.

I will be disappearing for a few days.

So far we have followed our plan smoothly.

Do everything according to the original plan.

There will be nothing going wrong.

But Lin Ruohan has the Chihua Pill to sustain her life.

Now her skills have been boosted, plus the Mei family's help,

maybe she will take actions preemptively.

Lin Ruohan's existence is a blow for Rong Jingfeng.

We shall not kill her.

Take her as a leverage we might need.

But…

Continue to observe every move in Jianghu.

Don't miss

any slightest movement.

Yes.

Supreme Master, you can rest assured.

All this is the responsibility of our Snow Union.

No way.

If you act without consulting me again, don't call me mother again.

Mother, now the Chihua Pill is in your body.

If I don't get the antidote now, the consequences are unimaginable.

I have never thought I would live much longer

since the moment I took it.

But there are still months ahead of me.

If I can scavenge the evil for Jianghu before my time's up,

I will die without any regrets.

If not,

after you take over Lingxu Pavilion,

you must take back the Chihua Pill yourself,

so that your father and I can rest in peace

because our wish will have been fulfilled.

What about me?

I have never seen my father.

Ever since I had memory, the only one by my side has been you.

I watched you create Lingxu Pavilion step by step.

You've never had a day of relaxing.

You act cautiously every day

and everything you do is for your responsibility and obligation.

But I feel sorry for you.

I don't want you to live for others all your life.

Live for yourself.

You did all this to seek justice for my dad because you love him.

But I also want to have the right to love someone.

I want to spend some more time with you.

I want to have a life.

But if

you are gone,

what will be the point of my life?

But Rong Hua has already known your true identity.

If anyone else in Dragon Howl City knows who you are,

Rong Jingfeng will know.

He will kill you.

Yue.

I can give up anything.

But I will never put you in danger.

Mother.

If you want to destroy Dragon Howl City,

you should have more reasons to get the antidote

and make the secret of the Chihua Pill

public so that everyone knows it.

Only in this way can you ruin Rong Jingfeng's reputation.

In this world,

not all the interpersonal relationships are fake.

I believe in Rong Hua.

So I also believe that no one else

in Dragon Howl City will know my identity.

Yue

Do you hate me?

I've let you bear such a heavy responsibility since childhood,

but I never gave you anything.

Other children have the love from their parents.

But your father…

Mother.

This was caused by the last generation's grudge.

You feel obligatory to uphold justice, and you have my full support.

But I also hope my mother can support me in my relationship.

Between me and Rong Hua,

it's just the love between a man named Nalan Yue and a woman named Rong Hua.

It has nothing to do with you, with my father, or with Rong Jingfeng.

This is a choice I made

and I will arrange everything.

Please have some faith in me.

If one day you seize a chance,

will you kill Rong Jingfeng with your own hands?

I will solve all this in my own way.

And I will definitely

give you an answer with which you will be satisfied.

But I must go to

Dragon Howl City.

Mo Huan will always send everyone off with excuses

so that she can practice alone here when this date comes.

She thought no one in the world knew her secret.

But I accidentally bumped into it.

You thought I would never dare to come here again.

Mo Huan, you underestimated me.

It seems that you have discovered my secret long ago.

I have been waiting for this day for many years.

Die!

You can come back and die beside me.

I think this is also an excellent ending for you.

Rong Su.

Lu Yizhou.

Let's go!

What happened?

We just passed this path.

The mark we left is gone.

Mo Huan has activated the formation.

She won't let us leave easily.

Do you remember the way back?

I'm not sure.

I haven't been to the Ling Sect for a long time.

But now I can only take my chance.

Be careful.

Go!

Rong Su

Rong Su Rong Su

I can't hold it for any longer.

Leave me alone and go.

No way.

Let's get out of here together.

I don't owe you anything now.

Rong Su Hurry up!

Leave me alone!

Hurry up.

Come on!

Rong Su, go.

Just go!

Rong Su.

Rong Su.

Rong Su.

Rong Su.

Rong Su.

Wake up!

You guys are finally back!

I miss you guys so much.

For the past few days I have been missing you guys every day so much

that I couldn't sleep or eat!

Bai, why would you still be so worried

since Rong Hua was with me the whole trip?

That's not like it.

Why do I find

you have putting on weight?

You said you couldn't sleep or eat.

That was a lie, right?

Miss Rong Hua, Mr. Lin.

Master Rong is already waiting for you two in the meeting hall.

How is my father's injury?

He's strong and tough.

He recovered a long time ago.

Let's go!

Let's go inside.

I'll show you the way.

Come on.

Come on.

Will it really work if I tell him like you taught me?

It will, definitely.

Trust me.

Your long and toilsome trip made you lose a lot of weight.

Alright.

Let's get down to business first.

Lin Jing.

As the newly appointed master of the Hall of Life,

how is your first errand going?

Master Rong.

I have done a thorough investigation.

I'm sure the Chihua Pill is right inside Lingxu Pavilion.

Dad.

The master of Lingxu Pavilion is indeed using the Chihua Pill.

But we didn't get it back.

Why not?

Is it because Lingxu Pavilion was so strong

that the two of you combined couldn't defeat them?

No.

I had a chance to get it back.

But I thought about it again and again

before making the decision to give up.

Lin Jing!

The reason Hua gave up was that she is still young

and lacks experience in Jianghu!

Why didn't you stop her?

Didn't you know what the Chihua Pill means to Dragon Howl City?

Your action

was a blatant defiance against it.

Master Rong.

Don't get mad.

Rong Hua didn't take it back

because of a condition Mo Huan offered.

She declared in Lingxu Pavilion

that between Dragon Howl City and Lingxu Pavilion,

only one could survive.

Mo Huan is a master at manipulating people's hearts.

So this time she was instigating between us and Lingxu Pavilion.

I thought instead of rivaling against Lingxu Pavilion like she wanted

prematurely,

we might as well keep options open and just wait and see how it goes.

That's right.

Father, Lin Jing is right.

There was too much at stake.

I couldn't make the decision on my own.

So I came back to discuss with you.

Okay.

You had a long and tiresome journey back.

Go back to rest.

Let's discuss this matter some other time.

Hua.

I think you lost a lot of weight.

He didn't take good care of you.

Xiaoxiao.

I beg to differ.

This time I was stabbed by a knife because of her.

How can you still accuse me of not taking care of her?

Who was so brave to stab you?

This person

is amazing!

Do you know?

If what you said is true, then you are not a master of martial arts.

Right, lady?

By the way, Xiaoxiao.

Do you know what my sister has been doing?

She just sent a disciple of the Hall of Emptiness

to come back and report some updates.

But she didn't come back as scheduled.

Now no one in the city knows her whereabouts.

Miss Rong Hua.

There is something you haven't known yet.

What happened?

Now the Hall of Emptiness has domineering influence.

I heard Miss Rong Su contacted all major sects in Jianghu

and persuaded them to fight against the Ling Sect together.

But it has made the Hall of Life

feel inferior.

In the future when I walk in the city,

I will feel so ashamed!

Excuse me?

Xiaoxiao.

Aren't you a disciple of the Hall of Sickness?

What does it have to do with you

whether it made the Hall of Life feel inferior?

I…

You don't understand.

Xiaoxiao and I are best friends.

Since now I'm in the Hall of Life, of course she feels worried for us.

That's right!

OK, OK.

But Xiaoxiao,

with my sister's character, if she makes great contributions,

she would have come back to brag about it.

Why didn't she come home this time?

I read so many books,

but I couldn't find any record about how the City was founded.

I don't know much about the founding of Dragon Howl City either.

I just heard from my master that

this city was founded by my father and my mother together.

They offended Mo Huan the Supreme Master, who hunted them down.

My mother gave birth to me on their way of exile

and died right after that.

I don't know about my father's history at all.

So Where Master Rong learned his peerless martial arts,

and that rare treasure of Chihua Pill

are both mysterious top secrets?

Father.

You wanted to see me?

You came.

What's the matter?

You had been running around in Jianghu for the past few days.

But you have a stubborn illness so I was very worried about you.

Although your aunt felt your impulse, I am still worried

so I want to personally feel your impulse to give diagnosis.

Disease caused by inner coldness can be serious,

so we have to make some prevention measures.

Come sit down.

Just leave matters of the Hall of Life to Lin Jing.

It seems that you trust Lin Jing.

I just want to ask you

what kind of person

the master of Lingxu Pavilion is?

Lingxu Pavilion acts in a mysterious way.

I only found out

their master is a middle-aged woman with a very indifferent look.

They didn't mean to mess up with us

when they used the Chihua Pill this time.

But still,

they used the Flower stolen from us.

That's as good as becoming our enemy.

They

used the Chihua Pill, but they don't have the antidote for it.

The master of Lingxu Pavilion

might die soon.

Father,

have you ever thought about joining forces with Lingxu Pavilion

to fight against Mo Huan together?

But the Lingxu Pavilion always acts

in an unexpectable way.

We have to beware of them.

Before we can figure out what they want, Dragon Howl City

shouldn't work with them rashly.

Young lady!

Master.

What are you doing?

Come try this.

Lin Jing taught me this recipe.

Over there is the cooked meat.

Be careful.

Don't burn yourself.

This is so good!

Is it tasty?

Oh, yeah. So delicious.

Master.

I really learned a lot of things from my journey this time.

But there is something I still don't know.

But maybe an experienced veteran like you knows everything, right?

Of course!

In Jianghu, there's nothing that I don't know!

Then do you know

anyone practicing martial arts with the surname Nalan?

What's wrong?

A fishbone stuck in your throat?

I am okay.

Why did you suddenly ask such a question?

Nothing.

It just came out of nowhere.

What's wrong with it?

No!

There is nothing wrong with this surname!

There are so many people surnamed Nalan in Jianghu.

I also know one or two of them.

But we're just acquaintance.

Acquaintance?

Hua,

did you hear anything when you were out there?

No.

Ok.

Eat as much as you want.

I still have things to do in my hall.

I almost forgot!

I have to dash.

Eat it yourself.

Master, you're leaving already?

Bye!

Who is it?

It's me.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Let me do it.

You're injured.

You need to take care of your body.

Where is this place?

I was worried the Ling Sect

would inquire about our whereabouts in towns.

So I found this cottage in a remote countryside

so that you can rest at ease.

I can take care of myself.

I don't need your concern.

You should worry about yourself.

Look at how you are like now.

You're seriously hurt like me.

I have nothing to worry about.

Anyway, my hand was hurt because I tried to save you.

If I'm really crippled,

in the worst case scenario, I'll go to Dragon Howl City and won't leave.

Come on.

Here.

Drink it while it's still warm.

I spent several hours to make this decoction.

I'm fine.

Let's go back to Dragon Howl City.

Come on.

There is still poison remaining in your body.

Don't do things over your head.

If we go out and meet anyone from the Ling Sect,

we will definitely die.

I know Mo Huan.

She will not let us get away so easily.

Now the Ling Sect's people haven't caught us,

which means one thing,

I did it.

I finally hurt Mo Huan badly.

It'll take her at least six months

to go out from her practice in isolation this time.

Master Rong!

Master Rong!

Ziyan.

What happened?

Why did you recklessly break into Master Rong's study?

I… I have a serious matter to discuss with him.

What?

Master Rong is not here?

He was already gone when I came.

I have never seen you in such a panic.

Is it about Rong Hua and Lin Jing?

Them?

What did they do?

You're so insensitive to these things.

Everyone in the city knows that they are in love.

Besides, Master Rong consulted with me a few days ago

about arranging a good husband for Rong Hua.

What are you so worried about?

Do you remember

the Nalan family?

This is an unspoken secret of Dragon Howl City.

Why are you mentioning it now?

Rong Hua asked me this question just now.

I wish I were just overthinking it

and that everything was just my misconception.

We need to tell Master Rong about it immediately.

Rong Hua must have met someone outside.

No.

I have to go find out now.

Wait, wait.

Don't you know Rong Hua's temperament?

If you go trying to push her, you won't get any result.

I'd say

let me observe her in the dark to see who is behind this.

And also, don't tell Master Rong about this matter for now.

He has closely guarded the secret of the Nalan family.

I'm afraid innocent people might get hurt

if we can't figure out what really happened.

Why are you staring at me all the time?

You're pretty.

I'm just curious.

Why did you save my life risking your own

in the corridor the other day?

That was just because I didn't want to owe you a favor.

I don't regret the competition for the master of the Hall of Life.

Even if I have a chance to turn back time, I'll make the same choice.

Now that Mo Huan is seriously injured,

I want to take this opportunity to sneak into the Ling Sect again

to defeat her once and for all.

You won't succeed.

Before the corridor was sealed, I saw Dark Solders chasing after us.

That was

so terrifying.

I could see them so clearly and some of them were slashing at me.

I grew up in the Ling Sect.

Indeed I heard of similar rumors.

But Mo Huan has always been strange and changeful.

Since she is seriously injured,

she will not easily give anyone a chance to approach her.

If you go there now, you are on a suicide mission.

I want to go for a walk in the forest, alone.

Don't go too far.
