Love a Lifetime

Episode 11

Only when my dad mentioned it just now, did I learn about it.

Master Rong, when I got to Lingxu Pavilion earlier,

I didn't investigate it thoroughly

and I even left the Chihua Pill in Lingxu Pavilion.

I'm sorry for that.

Well, what's done is done.

Let's forget it.

But I have to remind you of something.

Mei Ying

is very cunning.

Be careful when you give him medical treatment.

I got it, Master Rong.

Dad, don't worry.

I'll help him take charge of the Hall of Life

and we won't let him take advantage of us.

OK. I trust you two.

Rong Hua,

I hope you've learnt your lesson.

When you get out in the future, you should be more careful.

OK, I got it.

OK, I'm leaving now.

Take care, Dad.

It seems the sword cut that you faked on Mei Ying

has fooled your father.

Now, it's time for him to help us.

My father has always been prudent.

I think he will find it out soon, no matter how real it looks.

Then, we'll just have to take our chances.

Since your father has come here and asked about it, it means

that Mei Ying has replied to your father according to our plan.

I've really underestimated Lin Jing before!

He has easily done a good job in borrowing a knife to kill a man.

That disciple contradicted Rong Hua in public,

which made him a thorn in Lin Jing's side.

Now he embarrassed me under the guise of Master Rong,

which has not only settled an old score,

but also injured the Hall of Emptiness.

I heard that

after seeing Mei Ying, Master Rong went to the Hall of Life.

What is it that Master Rong is trying to find out?

Why did he go to see only Rong Hua after seeing Mei Ying?

After being caught,

Mei Ying has been interrogated by Master Rong in person.

We've got no clue and I think we can do nothing now.

If we go and interrogate Mei Ying at this critical moment,

I'm afraid that we might look suspicious and expose ourselves.

Tell every disciple of the Hall of Emptiness to behave themselves

in these days.

If any one of them doesn't behave themselves,

I will punish them severely without mercy before Master Rong.

Besides, these days, don't mess with Mei Ying.

We'll figure out what to do later.

I know you're quite busy, and I'm wondering

if I'll disturb you for coming here without being invited.

It seems that Master Rong really trusts Lin Jing these days,

otherwise he wouldn't have let an outsider like you

get around Dragon Howl City on your own.

What did you say?

Anyway, I did help in seriously wounding Mo Huan the other day,

which has made me at least a guest in Dragon Howl City.

Master Rong is a respectable man

that has a proper way of treating guests.

What are you doing?

Look at you!

Your hands are so cold.

The winter here is much colder than that in Jiangnan.

It's none of your business!

What do you want to do?

When will you let go of my hand?

Sorry if I've offended you.

Just now you said that the winter here was so cold.

Then why did you take me here on the city wall?

Dragon Howl City lies in the extreme and boundless north.

In winter, it's extremely cold and secluded.

I can't see why you father built the city here.

Was it because he wanted

all the disciples of Dragon Howl City to get their minds trained here?

To choose here is for the Chihua Pill.

The Chihua Pill is cold in nature and it can't come into being

when it's not in the extreme places.

This is odd.

I barely see your father go out alone.

I wonder what it is for that Master Rong has to go out in person.

Master Rong goes out of the city every winter.

He must have gone out to buy some superior fox-fur robes for Rong Hua.

Rong Hua has the cold disease

and it's hard for her to survive the winter here.

Isn't it easy to get some fox-fur robes?

He could have just asked someone to do it.

Why does he do it in person?

Master Rong wants to take care of Rong Hua himself.

He wants to buy it in person, and no one can stop him.

Don't you want to know what your father has been trying to hide?

He doesn't have to buy fox-fur robes every year, right?

What?

You dare not to do it because you're afraid that you might be caught?

You had nothing to do in the Hall of Emptiness,

but now you're so curious about the whereabouts of Master Rong.

So did Lin Jing send you here for something?

You've mistaken me.

Whether Lin Jing has asked me to do it or not doesn't matter.

Don't you want to know what your father has been doing these years?

Master Rong has always been prudent.

Don't get caught.

Or you'll take all the consequences!

It's my pleasure to share your burden.

Let's go.

How could you be like this?

Don't you know who's been kind to you?

We worked so hard to help you, but you don't appreciate it at all.

We shouldn't have helped you at the beginning.

You're so unreasonable!

Auntie?

Hua, what happened?

I've never seen you so mad before.

Auntie, are you here to see Mei Ying?

I haven't seen him after I saw him in the Black Room the other day.

And I wonder how his health is.

Auntie, someone like him isn't worth your concern.

Why would you say that?

He is so hateful.

In order to help him, we used the best medicinal materials

and we took care of him so carefully, but now,

he complains about everything here.

We shouldn't have saved him.

Don't say that.

There's no need to get mad for small things like this.

His life is in your father's hands,

so I don't think he dares to do anything reckless.

Auntie, I think since my dad isn't here,

we could give him a hard time.

With your skills, we can easily make him miserable.

You naughty girl, if I do so, you'll be happy, but Master Rong

will blame me for this.

Well, let's go and check on him.

No, I don't want to.

You didn't see how hateful he was when he blew up at me just now.

No, I won't go.

Auntie,

why should we care about someone like him?

Let's go.

Come on!

Come inside!

Be careful!

Rong Jingfeng has always been prudent.

Any small changes in this room will be noticed by him.

How careless you are!

Just stay there and touch nothing!

As the young master of Lingxu Pavilion,

you've been working really hard just to get an antidote.

Nalan Yue, good for you!

But you can't wrap fire in paper.

You don't need to worry about it.

With the help of your Plum Blossom Spell, no one

will notice it for now.

And I'll make the best use of the time I can get.

I can see that you're so certain about it.

But what makes you think that I'll help you?

Earlier, Rong Hua gave you the martial arts book of your family

and that's because she wants you to help me.

You must be clear about it.

I'm not surprised that you want to do this,

but I didn't expect

that Miss Rong Hua would help you.

It seems she's really in love with you.

Nalan Yue,

you've hurt my little sister, but please don't hurt her.

It seems that you really care about my grand-disciple.

Here's my advice for you.

Just forget about her.

I won't give you any chance.

Have you really got some clues?

No.

I've found nothing.

When the Chihua Pill is to come into being,

help me get into the garden with your Plum Blossom Spell, and then

you'll have the chance to leave here.

Leave here?

Where can I go?

With Rong Jingfeng's power, he can kill me so easily.

Or will Lingxu Pavilion protect me?

Maybe,

as the head of a hall here,

you can help me become a member of Dragon Howl City.

Or maybe, I can become someone like Master Xiao,

to work for Rong Jingfeng.

You're the young master of Lingxu Pavilion and the head of a hall here,

so it's not hard for you, right?

Your cold disease attacked again the other day,

and you must be weak now.

The winter is coming.

You should be more careful.

Don't worry, Auntie.

Lin Jing has been taking care of me every day.

And I've gained so much weight lately.

How would I still be afraid of the cold?

Lin Jing looks unreliable, but he's really good

at taking care of others.

Auntie, sorry.

I didn't mean to lie to you.

Auntie looks so...

Auntie, your pulse...

I'm fine.

No, you're not.

There're a lot of toxins in your body.

You've been making poisons every day.

How could you be fine?

I know what I'm doing.

No!

Come to my room with me.

You're poisoned like this, but my dad still knows nothing about it.

Your father has been busy lately.

I shouldn't bother him.

Master, come and have a look!

My auntie's body...

Is it because of the poison?

I knew something would go wrong.

Come with me to the Hall of Life!

Bai, I'm fine.

You... Auntie, don't wait for my dad.

The one who cares about you is in front of you right now.

I... You naughty girl, don't talk nonsense!

Let's go.

I'll see what I can do to help.

-I... -Go!

Come with me!

You have to come with me.

-Let's go! -Bai, I'm really fine.

Let's go!

The home-made bamboo basket!

They're solid and durable!

Come and have a look!

Not bad!

Sachet! Pendants! And accessories!

Come and have a look!

Sugar-coated haws!

Sweet and big sugar-coated haws!

He has left.

Who are you?

Is my daughter safe and sound?

Don't worry.

We just need to use your carriage.

And we won't hurt you.

They're solid and durable!

Come and have a look!

Mom.

This shop sells things like fur and feather.

It's said that the store owner just came back from the northern wastelands

and they sell superior fur products.

And there's nothing special.

Don't worry.

When we get somewhere safe, we'll leave at once.

Let's go.

Let's leave here.

I asked the disciples to search the woods where the antidote was snatched away

and they found this crystal ball.

It seems that it was the Snow Union that took the antidote away.

I think so too.

The Snow Union took the antidote and then Mo Huan had the antidote.

I don't think it's a coincidence.

But this time Mo Huan came to

Lingxu Pavilion in person with the antidote,

which made me in her debt.

Mo Huan's whereabouts are uncertain

and no one in Lingxu Pavilion can stop her.

If we can't have a counterplan, I'm afraid she would hurt you.

Let alone Lingxu Pavilion,

I'm afraid no one in this world can stop her.

But the Snow Union has been exposed

when they took the antidote this time

and the force behind it will come out soon.

So you think that the Snow Union is also in the charge of Mo Huan?

Don't make it public, and don't tell my son about it.

Send him a letter, telling him that I've got the antidote.

Yes.

Besides, get things ready and I'm going to the Snow Union.

Since you know the Snow Union is in the charge of Mo Huan,

then why do you still want to go there?

She can't do anything to me now.

Just do as I asked.

Yes.

Apart from being rich in fur products like fox-fur robes,

what else are the northern wastelands rich in?

The northern wastelands... My master mentioned it to me

that the Ling Sect used to be in the northern wastelands.

And then in order to expand their sphere of influence,

they headed all the way down and took control of the entire Jianghu of the Central Plain.

They survived in that harsh living conditions,

which means they had very strong willpower.

No wonder that Rong Su became totally different

at the mention of the northern wastelands.

Look.

It's also recorded in this book.

I wonder if it can be of help.

It's getting colder recently.

Don't let these things affect your health.

Have the decoction here when it's still hot.

Well, don't worry too much for the antidote.

Have a hot cup of wine to get warm.

What's wrong?

Something wrong with the wine?

There's nothing wrong with the wine in the pot, but the wine in my cup

is sour.

Sour?

You must have got some powder on your hands just now,

and then the powder got into the cup.

What exactly is it that can change the taste of the wine instantly?

I've got it!

It's the ice crystal in the northern wastelands.

The ice crystal?

The ice crystal is the center part of the Millennium Ice Lotus.

They grow in the extremely cold north and can be only found on cliffs.

Its center part never melts all year round.

One has to break it with their internal force before taking it.

No wonder that Rong Jingfeng

has to practice in isolation for several days

after making the antidote every time.

It seems that making the ice crystal consumes a lot of internal force.

Come and sit down.

Have the decoction now.

I asked Lu Yizhou to distract Rong Su, but unexpectedly,

he brought me this clue.

It seems that it's the reason why Rong Jingfeng

gets out of the city every year.

In others' eyes, to be the head of a hall in Dragon Howl City

is great, but actually, it's miserable.

Ziyan has been making the poison for you every day

and the toxins have got into her body and heart meridians.

No one can talk her out of it,

and she insists doing it to your satisfaction.

But you,

you just sit here and do nothing.

You're the master, so you think you can hurt others like this?

Make it clear today!

What do you think about her?

How could you just ignore her affection for you?

What exactly do you want?

Bai, I will ask someone else to take care of Ziyan.

Someone else?

Do you think she needs someone else?

Please sit down and calm down.

We can talk it through.

How can I calm down?

Rong Jingfeng, I'm telling you!

From now on, I won't let you see Ziyan again!

By the way, in the next spring, I'll take her and leave.

By then, you can be in Dragon Howl City all alone

for the rest of your life!

Stop!

You're being unreasonable!

Where do you want to take her?

What would happen to her after she leaves?

I'm telling you!

You will get her into trouble if you take her away from here.

Besides, you know the rules of Dragon Howl City.

You know what the consequences are to leave Dragon Howl City.

I don't care about your rules!

I'm a man of my word.

How dare you!

Of course I dare!

-Dad! -You... Master.

It doesn't help to quarrel!

The most important thing right now is to save auntie's life.

I will take care of your auntie.

She'll be fine!

Dad, don't be mad.

Auntie has really done a lot for Dragon Howl City these years.

Why can't you just... That's it, Hua.

Don't say it.

I'm really tired.

Dad, are you really so cold-blooded?

Auntie really loves you.

We've seen how kind my master is to auntie,

but you've never cared about her.

After so many years, how could I ignore Ziyan's affection for me?

But how could I respond to her affection?

What are you mad at?

You're a mature man.

There's no need for you to be jealous of Rong Jingfeng.

I'm not jealous of him!

Yes, you are!

Listen to me.

Since you have time to argue with Rong Jingfeng,

why don't you spend the time on taking care of Ms. Ziyan?

Don't mind whom she's in love with.

You've been so kind to her this whole time

and she must have been moved.

When I'm kind to someone, I'm not kind to them

for anything in return.

But Rong Jingfeng is being so cruel and unrelenting,

and I just couldn't stand it.

In order to make the poison in the Black Room,

a lot of toxins have got into the skin of Ziyan,

which made her unconscious now and she...

I've been taking care of her by her side this whole time.

But Ziyan...

When Ziyan got hold of my clothes, she asked for Rong Jingfeng.

But Rong Jingfeng didn't even care about her well-being.

You say, how could I stand this?

I think we should look at the bright side.

If the things are like this, I think you've gained something.

You're a man who looks like this,

and Ms. Ziyan mistook you as Master Rong.

It means she's really out of her senses.

And you should be glad.

The things have got so bad and you're still making fun of me!

I'm not making fun of you!

As your master, I really want you to be happy.

As a man, we should be broad-minded and don't strain at a gnat.

Why do I feel that you were calling me narrow-minded?

Stop! Don't run!

Today I'm going to be disrespectful to my master!

I, I have to console my hurt feelings.

Stop!

After this winter, a new Chihua Pill will come into being.

I wonder how many martial arts practitioners will strive for it.

I've been looking for you.

And here you are.

Hua, why are you here?

It's too cold here.

Go back now.

All through the way here, I smell some faint scent of plum blossom,

but there's no plum tree.

Why is there the scent of plum blossom?

The scent comes from the walls here.

Mei Ying did it.

Along with the Plum Blossom Spell,

it can confuse people's sense of direction.

In a few days, the Chihua Pill will come into being.

At that time, if Mo Huan wants to take the Chihua Pill,

no matter how many guards we deploy, it won't help.

This Plum Blossom Array might help for a while.

My dad used to watch over the Chihua Pill coming into being in person,

and I don't think it'll be easy to ask him to let the Hall of Life

take care of it.

If I can't take the seed of the Chihua Pill this time,

I don't think it'll be easy for me to do it in the future.

I think someone might be of help.

Who do you mean?

My auntie.

And we can take this chance to see if my father cares about her.

I don't think after so many years, he still feels nothing for her.

Your auntie?

Will it work?

Anyway, we don't have any other plans.

Just give it a shot.

If my auntie can give it up, it might be a good thing too.

Master Lin, what a rare visitor you are!

I wonder what brought you here.

At such a young age, you took the antidote from Lingxu Pavilion.

Good for you!

There must be some misunderstandings.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it.

But we've got this.

You were so careless.

Even if I don't blame you, your master will.

You want to put it on me with just a crystal ball.

Maybe you just want to frame me.

You know if you've done it or not.

I didn't come here for this.

I came here to see your master, Guan Buzhuo.

Please let him know I'm here to see him.

Please wait for a while.

It has been 20 years now.

And it's time to meet him.

It's a lesson for you.

When you do things, if you miss anything or do anything wrong,

it'll be a loop-hole and others can use it to kill you.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

But Master Lin is still waiting outside.

Should I invite her inside, or should I...?

Let her inside?

Since she has come here, how could we not invite her in?

She came here to see you,

so what do you think?

What else can I do?

I can't avoid her.

Invite her inside.

Yes.

It's your private business and none of my business.

My dear... Buzhuo is really lucky.

He is a casual and rough man.

He must have found a wife with great taste

to have made here so exquisite.

Ma'am, after so many years, will he see you?

Master Lin, please come inside.

Only Master Lin is invited inside.

You just wait here.

I'm here to visit an old friend and it'll be fine.

Yes.

Buzhuo!

Back then when you and Nalan Xi chose to betray the Ling Sect,

you should have known that you had ended our relationships.

I didn't mean to betray the Ling Sect,

but Rong Jingfeng wanted to kill me, so I had to fight back.

But no matter what happened, and no matter who I am right now,

you're still my junior fellow-disciple.

No one and nothing can change that.

Our master was so strict with us, and you used to protect me,

which I've never forgot.

Did you come here to talk about the old days today?

The whereabouts of our master are uncertain.

After I saw her in Lingxu Pavilion the other day,

I've had no news from her.

Today I came here because I want you to tell her something.

I left the Ling Sect and established my own sect many years ago,

but after so many years,

I still haven't taken the seed of the Chihua Pill back,

which must have let our master down.

But Rong Jingfeng betrayed the Ling Sect and injured our master.

I could never forget it.

I'm willing to lead Lingxu Pavilion

and help our master destroy Dragon Howl City.

When it's done, I will take any punishments with no complaints.

Didn't you establish Lingxu Pavilion

to destroy Dragon Howl City back then?

It seems that Rong Jingfeng has become so powerful

that our master has to do it in person.

My health is not what it used to be

and I can't risk my life to take the antidote every year,

so I want to ask our master for help.

I'm willing to come back

and help the Ling Sect destroy Dragon Howl City.

What if master wants to kill you after that?

If so,

I want to ask you to take care of my son, Nalan Yue.

Because in this world, I can only entrust him to you.

I hope you can protect him.

Just keep going.

Things in this world are changing so fast.

No one knows what will happen in the future.

The Chihua Pill is about to come into being.

You just guard the entrance in a while.

If anyone wants to break in, take them down

and I'll deal with it later.

Master Rong, don't worry.

At that time,

Mei Ying will set a formation with the Plum Blossom Spell.

And anyone who wants to get inside will be trapped there.

How sure are you about the Plum Blossom Array?

We can only be sure about the things that are under our control.

The Plum Blossom Spell is in the charge of Mei Ying,

so I can't be 100% sure about it.

But don't worry.

Even if without this formation, I've get everything prepared.

OK.

What do you think about Mei Ying?

Well, different people have different views.

Whether he can be of help to us

depends on whether we can use him wisely.

Mei Ying has his merits,

but I don't think

we should keep him here.

How do you think I can use him wisely?

Master Rong, you can help him rebuild his family.

If he's indebted to you, he'll be naturally loyal to you.

The Mei family is best at the Plum Blossom Spell.

So let's see if it's really impressive tonight.

Master Rong, please forgive me.

I can't serve you anymore.

She has been having a high fever these days.

This is going to be bad.

Master.

Hua.

How is my auntie?

I think this is odd.

She has had the decoction for several days,

but she's not getting better.

She's even getting worse.

Master, don't worry.

Maybe the prescription doesn't suit her case, so she's getting worse.

What to do now?

This...

Why is her body getting colder and colder?

Maybe she won't last for much longer.

This... If anything bad really happens, I... No!

I have to get your father here!

No, don't!

Master, you just stay here with auntie.

The Chihua Pill is about to come into being right now.

Just let me go and have a try.

Yeah.

I almost forgot.

The Chihua Pill will come into being today.

So how would your father come here?

Then, you go ahead.

I'll leave her to you.

Sometimes, in this world, just like the poison-eating insect,

everyone strives for their own interest

and the desires in their innermost hearts.

In this world, only the strongest can survive.

And it's the same for the poison-eating insects.

So they put up a desperate fight

to take the strongest red flame lotus.

Only by combining with the strongest red flame lotus,

can they become eternal.

Dad,

something is bad!

Hua!

Please go and see auntie!

She's dying!

It's the coldest day in Dragon Howl City today!

Why did you come here?

Can your body stand it?

Please go and see auntie!

She's dying!

What's wrong with your auntie?

She's in coma.

And she's been calling your name.

For all these years, she's been working hard for you

and Dragon Howl City!

I got it.

Are you really so heartless?

If you really don't care about her, tell her in person

and make her give it up forever.

You don't understand it.

Don't talk nonsense!

Go back to your room!

Dad, the toxins in auntie's body are deadly,

and no decoction can save her.

Master said that she would die in two hours.

Now in the whole Dragon Howl City, only you can save her.

Do you really want to see her die?

This, this can't be!

I made this prescription myself.

Why doesn't it help?

Could it be...?

Master... Master Rong, please help my master!

Jingfeng!

Jingfeng!

Ziyan.

Jingfeng!

Ziyan, I'm here.

Jingfeng!

It seems that my father does care about my auntie.

You have only one chance to take the seed.

When the Chihua Pill comes into being, you just do it!
