Love a Lifetime

Episode 14

Dad, have you...

Bai!

Oh, Bai, why do you make a fuss out of it?

I didn't ask you to go with us.

Why do you care about the distance?

Lin Jing, you're finally back.

Master Rong?

Very well,

you've passed the test.

Passed?

Master Rong, this time, you did go somewhat absurd.

If you hadn't passed this test on you

or come back to Dragon Howl City safe and sound,

why should I entrust you with my beloved daughter Rong Hua?

Are you feeling that I'm too calculating?

What about you?

You'd kept it a secret from us that

you are the young master of Lingxu Pavilion and even

became the master of our Hall of Life.

How are you going to explain yourself about this?

Dad,

if he hadn't come back safely, what would you do?

Then he would have no one to blame.

If he couldn't even handle that to be my son-in-law,

I'd rather keep you by my side for the rest of my life

than let you live with this kind of man

in that kind of precarious life

out there in the world he calls Jianghu.

Master Rong, I had been in Dragon Howl City for such a long time,

but no one could ever find out my real identity.

If Lingxu Pavilion and I had wanted to go on keeping it a secret,

no one of Dragon Howl City could see any problem.

After my mother met Rong Hua, she likes her a lot.

She wants her to be happy.

She came to propose in high profile

because she wanted to protect her in the name of Lingxu Pavilion.

Moreover, we've already made clear who we are.

So afterward, if you miss Hua, you can just come and visit her.

Why are you still worried?

Master Rong?

Hua,

so you've made up your mind?

Whoever Lin Jing really is, you'll be with him?

Yes.

I have made up my mind.

Please be happy for me, dad.

Since the both of you are going to leave Dragon Howl City,

then don't come to this forbidden land of Flower Sea again.

I will have my own arrangements for everything here.

So you've agreed, dad?

Thank you, dad.

Come on.

Thank you, Master Rong.

From now on, I will dedicate myself to taking good care of Hua.

OK, Lin Jing, please excuse us.

I need to talk to Hua a little bit.

OK.

So Lin Jing is a pretty capable guy, huh?

Whether he's a capable guy or not, I will always go with him.

You didn't have to test him.

Hua,

only your auntie knew about my test on him.

But unexpectedly, she told Rong Su about it at the risk of

irritating me

and asked her to help Lin Jing.

You've always been in conflict with Rong Su,

but she still left the city to help Lin Jing.

I tried time and again to stop you from leaving, but they helped you

in secret, hoping that you could get what you wanted.

Can you understand it?

Dad, I know.

Wherever I go, Dragon Howl City will always be my home,

and I'll never forget my own family.

Wherever you are, always remember

you have your family, Dragon Howl City.

No matter what problems you have outside, everyone here

will help you without hesitation.

Come here.

Dragon Howl City isn't always cold.

The high city walls

are for resisting aggressors,

and they'll never stop family members from coming back.

Dad, I'll miss you.

Before this, I was going to keep you by my side

for the rest of my life.

But now,

since you've fallen in love, I shouldn't be so selfish now.

I'll let you go.

Dad, you got old unavoidably.

Hey, why did you reveal our identity

and play that thing in such a high profile?

This was all Master Lin's idea.

I couldn't even tell you in advance.

Besides, right now, she is right in Tingfeng Town.

My mother came?

When I went to meet her after I was informed, I felt shocked too.

Is it true that by taking advantage of this proposal,

she wants to attack Dragon Howl City?

If I tell him what the grand elder of the Tang Sect said now,

it won't help anything but may create many problems instead.

Right now, there're a lot of things the investigation hasn't covered,

so I don't want a war

between Dragon Howl City and Lingxu Pavilion at all.

Moreover, I'm serious about my relationship with Rong Hua.

You stay here to help once needed.

I'll ask my mother about this.

Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin!

Come in.

Mr. Lin, bad news.

What happened, Xiaoxiao?

As soon as Mr. Bai came back to the city, he wanted to visit my master.

He said he brought good stuff

and wanted to cook it for her personally.

But, you know, my master and Master Rong are...

Anyway, when he found out, he left the city.

I think he said he wanted to go to Tingfeng Town to

do some reflection.

No one could stop him.

Mr. Lin, figure something out.

You should get your disciple back to the city.

Xiaoxiao, don't worry about it.

I'll go and bring back Bai right now.

He won't cause any big problems.

OK. I'll go now.

Why did you expose your son's real identity yourself?

Master, this time, I don't want Yue to get involved in this struggle.

He once said to me that he didn't want to live in hatred.

Moreover, the things of our generation don't need to drag him in.

Yue and Rong Hua have fallen in love with each other.

As his mother, I must help him

leave the city with his beloved girl safely.

Whether he lives for hatred, it's not up to him alone.

The fact that he talked so naively

shows that he doesn't know much about Jianghu.

The ruthlessness of the bloody Jianghu

is far beyond his current understanding of it.

Master, I just received a message that

Ling Sect disciples have set out from northern wastelands.

They can arrive at Dragon Howl City in a few days.

Very well.

Keep track of them.

For every 500 kilometers they march, report to me.

Yes.

Master,

what's your plan this time?

With the Chihua Pill, Rong Jingfeng has been ruling a part of the land.

It's been so many years now, and he should have enjoyed enough.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know

the true application of the Chihua Pill.

Perhaps, it's my fault.

Back then, I haven't paid enough attention to teaching him well.

This time, I'm going to show Rong Jingfeng thoroughly

what the Chihua Pill really can do.

They say the shop ahead sells really good fur.

Even if you really have loved him for a long time,

you shouldn't have accepted him so quickly.

What if Rong Jingfeng doesn't even care to cherish you?

And now, Rong Hua is going to marry Lin Jing.

If this trend goes on, I'll be all by myself in this town.

What spice of life will I have?

This guy looks so familiar.

Hey, stop.

That's right.

It's you.

I just happened to pass here.

What is...

What?

What are you doing here?

Come back with me.

Hey hey hey, don't, don't, don't.

Get out of the way.

This guy suddenly shows up in Tingfeng Town.

He must be up to something.

He

came here to look for me.

Why do you say that?

You and I did meet once.

But it was you who offered me the hospitality.

Besides, anyone can come to Tingfeng Town.

Why do you say I came to look for you?

Man, be honest.

You like my cooking skills?

Ziyan can't taste my dishes from now on anyway.

Why don't you try it?

Oh yes, since you're in Tingfeng Town,

why don't you invite your wife over to try my cooking too?

I happen to owe her a favor.

Wh-Whose wife?

Goodbye.

Well, how did you know him?

I won't tell you.

I don't want to tell you.

You... You're going somewhere faraway with Rong Hua.

Have you told me that?

And, you've been keeping it a secret for such a long time.

You didn't tell me who you are.

Alright, alright.

Was it me who bit all the shame to take you as my master,

brought you into Dragon Howl City,

and let you stay by Rong Hua's side?

And, and Ziyan... You, you all bully me!

How could we predict... Just go away.

Go away!

Bai, listen to me.

Bai!

Bai!

The city is boisterous today.

It's been noisy since I got up.

Mr. Mei, your wounds have almost all healed,

and you joined Lin Jing and helped him fight off the Nameless of the Xiao Family.

Your merits have offset your mistakes.

So, you don't need to stay here anymore.

Father has decided that

he'll send people to escort you back to the Mei family.

I believe that with Dragon Howl City backing you,

as long as you behave yourself, soon

the Mei family's glory in Jianghu will be restored.

If so, I'd like to thank you in advance.

Lingxu Pavilion came with great impression to

propose marriage for their young master Lin Jing.

So, Rong Hua is going to leave Dragon Howl City.

Master Rong's daughter is getting married.

That's wonderful.

Then hereby, I offer my congratulations in advance.

Aren't you surprised that Ling Jing is the pavilion's master?

I once witnessed his skills.

He's extraordinary indeed.

So, if he's the young master of Lingxu Pavilion,

why should I be surprised?

Do you really not mind that Rong Hua marries into Lingxu Pavilion?

I'm far from being fit for her.

Since the Mei family has fallen into such a state,

Master Rong will never include me

into his list of candidates of son-in-law.

Moreover, whether it's Dragon Howl City or Lingxu Pavilion,

the Mei family can't afford to offend them.

So, Miss Rong, what do I have to compete?

Why did Lingxu Pavilion come to propose?

After Lin Jing's identity was revealed, this game confuses me more.

Su.

Do you still remember you often asked me about our mother's look?

In the childhood, you hated me for being noisy,

so you never mentioned her look.

I really have forgotten.

When I got separated from her and lost touch with her,

I was still very young.

Throughout my life, I've been living in fights.

I've never learned how to congratulate someone sincerely.

What an exquisite jade pendant!

Thank you, Su.

I thank you not only for this jade pendant

but also for helping Lin Jing.

We have so much unhappy past, but you were willing to put it aside

and helped me with my lifetime happiness.

Rumor has it in Jianghu that

Lingxu Pavilion is such a mysterious place that whoever going in never came out.

But you willingly marry into that family.

How unexpected you have such courage!

I will be with Lin Jing wherever he goes.

Ever since I developed my sensibility, I knew I have a sister.

But I had no idea what she looked like or where she was.

Every time I mentioned her, dad got mad.

So, over time, I stopped mentioning this.

Until one day,

Auntie said my sister came back.

That day, I stood right here.

It was snowing heavily.

And I had been waiting for a long time

before I saw dad come back with somebody.

Unfortunately, the cold disease recurred and I fell into a coma here.

My master took me back home.

That winter, the cold disease struck me again and again,

so I couldn't welcome you.

If I had been able to see you in person and talk to you a little bit,

maybe right now, we wouldn't have been in such a conflict.

Even so, I still look down on you.

In my opinion, only the strong deserves to survive.

Su, I don't want Dragon Howl City and Lingxu Pavilion

to get into a fight again.

Don't worry.

As long as I'm with Lingxu Pavilion,

I will never let it threaten Dragon Howl City.

Can you promise me the same?

It's such a serious promise.

How will you guarantee it?

We, as sisters, make the promise with our blood.

The one who breaks the promise will die without remains.

Where is Yue now?

I must see him right now.

But I can't let Mo Huan know it or let him know Mo Huan is here.

Then we need to draw Bai Weizhi away from young master.

I have to let Yue and Rong Hua leave the city together.

Mo Huan will strike soon.

I must make sure that they stay outside the city safely.

Don't worry, Master Lin.

Since she has agreed to work with Lingxu Pavilion,

she certainly won't hurt young master.

Besides, with young master's skills,

he definitely can protect himself and Miss Rong Hua.

I will meet young master right away.

I'll go to him myself.

Are you going back to Dragon Howl City with me?

No, I'm not.

I just refuse it.

Then what are your conditions to go back?

You're about to leave with Hua.

Why would I stay?

W-Well, I'm not afraid of the distance.

How about

letting me accompany Rong Hua to go to Lingxu Pavilion for her marriage.

This way, she'll have me with her, right?

She's not very healthy, and she's not a good fighter.

If she gets bullied there and she's all by herself,

how poor she will be!

Well, don't try that on me.

I don't know what you're sad about?

Besides, how old are you now?

How many years have you entangled yourself with this?

You've done a lot for this, right?

And Rong Hua and I have given a lot of tips to you, right?

But Ms. Ziyan just wouldn't fall in love with you.

So, what else can you do?

It took Ms. Ziyan so much to meet someone she loves.

It's so happy for them to be able to be together.

So, why can't you go easy and let her go?

I-In my whole life, I just fell in love with only this one.

If you want me to let go and forget about her,

you should let me have a good cry.

That bag is for Ms. Ziyan, right?

Since you've prepared it for her, let her know,

and end this by the way.

Stop thinking.

Let's go.

Come on.

Just let me stay a little longer.

After having a good time here, I-I will go back for sure.

Come on.

Just a little longer.

I'll be accompanying you.

Come on.

How can I leave you here alone?

OK.

It seems he cares about this disciple a lot.

Mr. Lu,

have you seen Lin Jing?

I couldn't find him in the entire city.

Mr. Bai was depressed due to his relationship with Ms. Ziyan

and got out of the city, so he's going after him.

Oh, my master... I'll ask Auntie to help them out

and arrange them to talk face-to-face.

Hypocrite, let go of me.

With your skills, it doesn't take you much to get rid of me.

Now that you gave me a chance,

why don't you let me explain everything?

I've been waiting for you to ask me, but you never showed up.

The version of Lu Yizhou I know isn't a member of Lingxu Pavilion.

So, the version of Rong Su in the Ling Sect

and the other one who came back to Dragon Howl City

are two different girls?

If you don't let go now, don't blame me for some violence.

Your hand is bleeding.

Sorry, I grabbed you too hard just now.

Let me dress it for you.

Sorry,

I lied to you.

Rong Su, you're mad at me because I kept my identity from you

or because you're afraid of Lingxu Pavilion?

Master, in recent days,

no messages were received from people in northern wastelands.

The people we sent couldn't find any track of them either.

I'm worried whether they had some sort of accident.

If they got intercepted and exposed their track,

that would be a problem.

Let's change the plan.

We'll enter Dragon Howl City tonight.

But we have only these people.

How can we wreak havoc on Dragon Howl City?

Does wreaking havoc on Dragon Howl City have to mean to

do slaughtering in the city and kill every last one of them?

What's the foundation of Dragon Howl City?

Just find it and destroy it.

You're brilliant, master.

And inform Lin Ruohan to join me.

She has hidden herself for so long, and it's time for her to show up.

Tell Jinque to send someone from the Snow Union to

check on the people in northern wastelands.

Do not let anyone take away the chance of comeback from the Ling Sect.

Yes.

Are you going to attack Dragon Howl City?

I just want to take back

the Chihua Pill that should belong to the Nalan family for your father.

Mom, don't worry about the Chihua Pill any more.

I've stolen its seed.

After we go back to Lingxu Pavilion,

Rong Hua and I will try to grow it.

At that time, this... This time, no matter

what Lingxu Pavilion does to Dragon Howl City, don't intervene.

I allowed you to marry Rong Hua and bring her back to Lingxu Pavilion.

That's already my lowest bottom line.

Mom…

Master Lin, young master,

a moment ago Bai Weizhi went back to his room drunk

and asked me to fetch water.

When I went back with water, he wasn't in the room.

Could he have found us?

Lin Jing.

Where is my master?

I don't know where he went either.

I came to look for him.

Ms. Ziyan, you came here as well.

Auntie is the only one who can handle my master's annoying problem.

What's that smell?

It's good.

Well…

-It smells good. -Lin Jing.

-Master? -Hua?

Z-Ziyan?

I, I just wondered how to cook this thing to make it good,

then I-I went to the kitchen to cook it.

I was to let Lin Jing try first.

Then when I go back to the city several days later,

I'll make better ones for you.

Err... Since we have such good soup, let's not just stand here.

Yes, right! Sit down.

Come on. Sit down.

Is your mother already in town?

I'll tell you that later.

We strike tonight.

How unexpected he used the Plum Blossom Spell!

But after the snow melts, I don't think it can last long.

Master, shall we inform Rong Jingfeng?

After so many years,

you fellow disciples finally can meet each other.

I'm so happy for you all.

Master Rong, this... Don't panic.

It's her.

She's at the Flower Sea now.

I'm going there right now.

I'm entrusting you with the safety of Dragon Howl City.

This area is growing extremely well.

It seems you have put a lot of effort in it.

But after all the red flame lotuses wither and fall,

at the start of the next spring,

they should become snow lotuses, right?

Last time I fought you,

I was too careless and didn't kill you.

Yeah.

You couldn't kill me at that time.

But have you forgotten it?

You seriously wounded me.

And the wound even keeps lingering.

Like father, like daughter.

Your daughter Rong Su also struck me extremely hard.

What a waste of my effort in teaching her so well all along!

But don't worry.

I came not to fight you today.

Really?

Ever since you came out,

you kept provoking Dragon Howl City, but after all,

you dared not kill me yourself.

What?

You've lost your determination to kill that you had

when you were young?

I must learn to go softhearted appropriately, so that sometimes I can

handle matters more effectively.

Rong Jingfeng, you kept teaching me back then that

we should not embezzle

anything that belongs to master and the Ling Sect.

After joining the Ling Sect, one should always follow master's orders.

So, back then, why did you take away the Chihua Pill,

even betray the Ling Sect and wound master so seriously?

My dear fellow disciple,

you were a little silly when you were young.

You... But it's so unexpected that you keep being so silly even now,

and always obey master's orders.

Those were just her verbal gimmicks for fooling us into willingly

fighting and dying for her and the Ling Sect.

Just use your mind to think about it.

When has she ever really cared about you

or any of us?

Really?

Ruohan, come out and give us your thoughts.

See if you agree with Jingfeng's opinion.

It's you!

You didn't kill me back then.

Now, I'm going to destroy the red flame lotuses.

I will never let you continue to harm people anymore.

What do you want to do?

No!

How dare you burn my Flower Sea!

Burn my red flame lotuses.

Burn my Flower Sea. So what?

I can grow them again next year.

Don't you think what you've done is so ridiculous?

I know you can grow them again.

But all I want is to make you feel bad.

Look.

Ruohan is back with me now.

You're alone.

So, what do you have to fight me?

And, even if you grow red flame lotuses again,

it will take them more than a year to grow and develop fruits.

So, I'm warning you.

When it's wintertime after the new spring, I'll see

how you can explain to those who want the antidote from you.

At that time, those factions of Jianghu will besiege Dragon Howl City,

and the city will collapse.

Do you think I still have to fight you myself?

Dragon Howl City thrives with the Chihua Pill

and falls due to the Chihua Pill.

Rong Jingfeng, I'll see how you can get around this.

So

you have sprayed oil in the soil.

What you've done is so despicable!

But I'm telling you, I won't admit defeat so easily.

My Dragon Howl City will not be destroyed by you people either.

Really?

Then, let time tell.

Mother,

you used your way to take back what should belong to the Nalan family,

but after doing so, you also destroyed your antidote supply too.
