Love a Lifetime

Episode 16

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

It's you!

You're still alive?

You're still alive!

Ma'am.

Luckily

we're all alive.

Everyone,

kneel down

and show your respect

to Mrs. Nalan!

You're Mr. Nalan Xi's wife?

Greetings, Mrs. Nalan!

Greetings, Mrs. Nalan!

I'm sorry that I almost made

a huge mistake!

We're family.

Don't be so polite.

Get up, please.

Ma'am,

I didn't expect

that I could see you again.

Back then,

Rong Jingfeng came to snatch

the Chihua Pill on behalf of the Ling Sect

and he wanted to exterminate the entire Nalan family.

The master fought desperately

and got the children out.

You took the children and ran away,

but we didn't know if you were dead or alive.

The rest members of the Nalan family

fought to their deaths.

In that fight,

the Nalan family

lost so many members.

We tried our best to climb out of the pool of blood

and escaped

from death eventually.

They are

the descendants of the Nalan family.

They've been taking

the burden of the Nalan family

on their shoulders.

I'm so glad that you're back.

The Nalan family

will rise again soon.

For all these years,

I've never taken care of the family for my late husband,

and you had to shoulder the burden all by yourself.

I've let the Nalan family down.

We're family.

So don't say that.

My time is up.

Now I have no regrets

since I can see you again

before I die.

Ma'am.

Madam,

please promise me something.

Please

take care

of them

and...

and...

revenge for the Nalan family.

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Don't worry.

I'll take care of them.

Please rest in peace.

Let's bury her

and then leave here at once.

The disciples of the Ling Sect got missing here

and Mo Huan won't let it go at that.

Don't worry.

From now on,

I will take care of you.

Madam, you've mistaken it.

We would rather die than let go of our grudge!

We're alive because we want

to take back our treasure

and get justice.

Take back our treasure!

Get justice!

Take back our treasure!

Get justice!

Take back our treasure!

Get justice!

Come in.

Miss Rong, what are you doing?

Cai, you've never seen this outfit before, right?

Where do you want to go

in this outfit?

I'm going to the back of the mountain to collect the honeycomb,

so I can use it in my dishes.

I've never seen a dish

with honeycomb as its ingredient.

I can't imagine its taste.

I've been studying cooking

from my master since I was a little girl.

The food here

is light and tasteless,

which I'm not very used to.

I've told the cook about it,

but he couldn't get it.

So I have to do it on my own.

I'll cook some dishes for you

to improve the food here.

But you're not here

to cook dishes.

If you don't like the food,

you can punish the cook,

or

I can get some new cooks here.

You don't have to do it in person.

You don't understand it.

The dishes made by different people

taste differently

even if they use the same recipe.

Really?

Of course.

My master is a great martial arts expert

and the head of the Hall of Seniority.

His favorite thing every day

is to cook for his disciples.

It makes me and others happy,

so why not?

By the way, Cai,

don't tell anyone about it.

I want to give them a surprise

and let them have a taste of my cooking.

I can keep it a secret,

but it's dangerous for you to go to the back of the mountain all alone.

I have to take some people

and go there with you.

No!

If you go with me,

everyone will know about it.

Just wait here for me

and I'll cook something delicious for you when I get back.

Don't worry.

I'll be fine.

Then please

be careful.

I'll be fine.

The scenery in the south

is so different

from that in the north.

It's more poetic.

And I guess the honeycomb here must be more delicious.

This is odd.

I saw a honeycomb here the other day.

Why can't I find it now?

I've finally found it.

I'll see what you can do today.

Cai,

why do you do this?

You asked me why?

Don't you know why?

Lingxu Pavilion and Longyin City are enemies.

It's because you're the daughter of Rong Jingfeng!

So you were pretending these days.

It was you who hung that white cloth in my room, right?

Yes!

I've been serving Master Lin since I was a little girl

and I'm her personal maid.

The young master

might not know about the things happened in the past,

but I know them quite well.

Rong Jingfeng is the one

who killed my family members.

I don't know what methods you used

to enchant the young master,

making him unable to tell the enemy from the family.

And he even took you here.

The young master is kindhearted,

but I will never forget who killed my family members.

Today,

I will get rid of you

and revenge my family.

Revenge our family!

Just give it up.

You're no match

for us at all.

Are you sure?

Watch out!

Luckily, I took this from Nalan Yue's room.

Lucky me!

What to do with them now?

Come on!

How dare you!

How dare you do this?

How dare you do this

behind my back?

I'm so disappointed

at you.

You've been serving Master Lin since you were little

and I've never suspected you.

But it was you

who did such an outrageous thing!

Why are you laughing?

Don't you know

that they wanted to kill you?

I know.

Then why are you still laughing?

But they look really hilarious

right now.

How would you like to deal with them?

Rong Hua

is a member of Lingxu Pavilion now

and I don't want any traitors here.

Kill them all!

Young Master!

Young Master,

it was my idea

and it has nothing to do with them.

Please forgive them

and punish me.

No!

Do you hear her?

No!

Kill them all!

I mean that don't kill them.

They don't deserve to die.

And you shouldn't kill them.

No matter what your decision is,

I will take the punishment.

I don't need the false favor of my enemy's daughter.

How dare you!

Cai,

do you really think that the young master won't kill you?

Do you think I want to let you off?

I just want to prove myself

in my own way.

One day,

I'll make you accept me.

It's important to get revenge,

but you shouldn't be blinded by hatred.

Cai,

would you accept my challenge?

Wait.

What are you doing?

Why would you challenge her?

You're no match for her.

I want to challenge Cai.

If I win,

you have to accept me sincerely.

Dare you?

Sure!

I disagree!

I disagree.

You,

you can ignore me.

These cookies are so delicious.

Have a taste.

I'm not in the mood for it.

What makes you so confident?

Cai learnt her martial arts skills

from my mother

and in this world,

she can be seen as an excellent martial arts expert.

With your crappy martial arts skills,

you're no match for her!

I'll give up if I can't win.

After all,

I won't be the only one who's embarrassed,

right,

Grandmaster?

Wait.

What do you mean?

I don't mean anything.

I know you will help me

no matter what.

Besides,

I'm quite confident

about myself.

Since you're so confident about yourself,

just do your best.

Grandmaster!

Don't do this!

Aren't you going to give me a special training?

Didn't you say

that you wanted to prove yourself in your own way?

I will just let you.

Do you best!

You brought me here,

so you have to help me.

I'm really scared.

Grandmaster, please!

Grandmaster!

The books you wanted are all here.

Thank you.

Yizhou,

if you don't have

anything else to deal with right now,

would you like to have a tea with me?

OK.

Come.

Please.

I don't think I can stand

you being so polite to me.

So what do you want?

Please.

Have a taste of Rong Hua's cooking.

Rong Hua made it.

Compared with the exquisite desserts in the south,

this cookie

tastes very different.

Have a taste.

No.

No.

Why not?

Don't think I don't know

what you're up to.

Those books

are the martial arts books your mother usually uses

and some disease books.

You just don't want Rong Hua

to lose the competition with Cai.

Yizhou,

Cai learnt her martial arts skills

from my mother,

so to defeat her,

we have to start with the martial arts books

that my mother usually uses.

Now Rong Hua

has decided to marry into Lingxu Pavilion,

so we have to end the hatred

of the previous generation.

I got it.

So how long

did you plan to hide it from me?

You knew it

long ago.

It's been too long

and the tea has got bitter.

If you don't like it,

just put it down.

Put it down.

Don't have it.

Let's go somewhere you like,

OK?

What would you like to eat?

Just tell me.

Would you like to go sightseeing?

Come.

What do you want to do?

When I was little,

I saw my mother sitting there

and thought

it was amazing.

And I used to think

that becoming the Master of Lingxu Pavilion

was the biggest dream of my life.

Yes.

When we grew up,

we got to understand

that it looked amazing only on the surface.

Master Lin has exerted

all her strength

and wisdom for us.

She has devoted

and sacrificed more

than any one of us has.

Yes.

My mother built Lingxu Pavilion back then

not only to get justice,

but more importantly

to give

the members of the Nalan family

a home

and a place to rest,

so they can

have a life and their children here.

Cai,

Cai has served Master Lin for so many years

and she must have known

many things about the past,

but she has never

told anyone about those things,

because she understands Master Lin's thought.

Master Lin doesn't want us

to live in the pain and hatred

of the past.

I used to think

that I know

and understand

things in this world thoroughly,

but actually,

I could live lightheartedly for so long

just because all of you have been protecting me

the whole time.

Did you take me here today

just to share your sorrows

with me?

Yizhou,

I've decided

to be with Rong Hua

and I've decided

to let go of the old grudge between Lingxu Pavilion and Longyin City.

I know

in that massacre,

you lost your nearest relatives too.

I'm the Young Master of Lingxu Pavilion,

but I won't make any decision for you.

Today when we're here,

I want to hear your true thought.

Now,

you still have your mother

by your side,

but I can't even remember

what my parents look like.

The serenity and happiness

of the Nalan family

were ruined by someone's greed.

Yizhou,

no matter what decision you make,

I understand

and I won't blame you.

Including taking back the Chihua Pill?

Yes!

Brother,

as long as you are the Young Master of Lingxu Pavilion,

I will be your Councilor Lu.

As for the matters about the Nalan family

and Lingxu Pavilion,

it's your and your mother's call

and I

won't have

a second opinion.

Thanks, Yizhou.

This is odd.

Why is there still nothing?

What is she doing?

Please!

Please come out quickly.

Stop hiding from me.

Why does she always go

to the back of the mountain

and talk to an empty field these days?

Could it be that she has noticed that we are spying on her

and she has come up with

some odd methods like the bees

that stung us the other day?

Don't spy on her for now,

so as to avoid any troubles.

And I'll find a chance

to see

what she's up to.

I promised to make you desserts for a month

and you just brought me this?

Don't underestimate this book!

This is

the key I especially made for you to beat Cai

in your competition according to her martial arts skills.

So you think

you can help me defeat her?

Of course.

But if you spend three days practicing

and two days

slacking off like this,

I'm not sure you can win.

I,

I'm not slacking off.

I just want to grow

the flowers of the Chihua Pill for you.

OK.

You're not slacking off.

So after you sowed the seeds,

have they come up?

The flowers of Chihua Pill originally grow in the extremely cold places,

but it's warm and agreeable here,

which doesn't suit their growth.

It seems we have to think of something else.

Never mind.

Let's just focus

on the difficulty now.

OK.

In fact, I've memorized these moves,

but without enough internal force,

no matter how hard I try,

I can't make good progress.

If only I could have excellent martial arts skills like Su does.

You know,

Su might look indifferent

and hard to get close to,

but apart from my dad, she has the best

martial arts skills in Longyin City.

If only she could

share some of her martial arts skills with me.

Daydreaming won't help you make any progress in martial arts skills.

Come!

Let's go to practice.

Take this!

She has so excellent martial arts skills?

Did she just

hide her actual strength before?

Or

the young master pretends to be at a disadvantage

to make her happy?

But even if he does so,

how could it help her beat me

in the competition?

Stop it.

Cai is gone.

She finally left.

You were a good actor just now.

Of course.

Are you satisfied now?

Happy now?

Now I can take

more than ten moves of yours

and I've made some progress these days.

Thanks to you, Grandmaster.

Good since you know it.

Just this once!

Work hard on it,

and I will keep an eye on you.

Yes.

I...

Miss Rong!

Mr. Mei.

Judging from your expression,

it seems I'm not the one

that you expected to see.

No.

I just didn't expect

that you would come here

and I was surprised.

The Mei family used to be seen

as the head of the four great families,

but now

it has come down to this.

If I were you,

I would do my best

to settle score with the Tang Sect and the Xiao family

against all odds.

I wonder

what you want

to do today.

Don't worry.

Today I just came

for some private things.

The affairs of the world are inconstant

and everything is changing quickly.

After so many hardships,

the Mei family is about to rise again.

With the help of Longyin City,

the Mei family is bound to rise again.

Mr. Mei,

since I didn't report to Master Rong

that Rong Hua gave you the martial arts book in secret the last time,

you don't have to

pretend in front of me.

I'm afraid that apart from me,

no one else knows

that you framed Master Xiao.

You don't have to remind me of that on purpose

and you don't have to guard against me.

We're the same kind of people.

If we join hands,

it can benefit us both,

so why not?

Longyin City has always been popular in Jianghu,

and now you're about to be related to Lingxu Pavilion by marriage.

I can't see

what you and your father

want a defeated family

to do.

I want you to lead the way,

so I can visit Rong Hua in Lingxu Pavilion.

You want me to lead the way?

I'm afraid you have got the wrong person,

because I've nothing to do with Lingxu Pavilion.

Mr. Mei,

you can fool others,

but you can't fool me.

When I sent you off at Longyin City the other day,

you acted

flawless,

but you didn't deny my guess.

Do you still remember it?

Even if you don't admit it today,

can't we find out

what's going on between you two?

What exactly do you want to do?

I've just told you

that I want you to lead the way.

Don't worry.

I've never told Master Rong anything about the talk

between us at the gate.

You just want to visit Rong Hua?

I'm afraid this trip is not that simple.

I can promise you

that if you help me,

it will only benefit the Mei family.

Rong Hua is bound to marry into Lingxu Pavilion

and from now on, in Longyin City

no one can pose a threat to your position.

Why do you still

have to guard against her?

Mr. Mei,

you've underestimated me.

Do you really think

I'm a ruthless person

who doesn't care about their family?

Aren't you?

Never mind.

It's Master Rong

who's worried that Rong Hua

might be hurt in Lingxu Pavilion

for she's an outsider,

so he asked me to visit her as her elder sister

and to impress

Lingxu Pavilion with our strength.

Nothing more?

Forget it if you don't want to help.

I just meant to do a favor for the Mei family,

so in the future I can put in a good word

to Master Rong for you.

The scenery in this plum garden

is really much better than

the only plum tree in the side yard

of Longyin City.

So don't you

want to see her again?

I'll stay in town these few days,

and if you change your mind,

just come to me.

Send a letter back to Longyin City with the flying pigeon.

Why are you so sure

that Mei Ying will lead the way?

Human hearts have always been like this.

He will hesitate,

but he won't refuse.

Because he knows that whether he helps or not,

I will go to Lingxu Pavilion eventually,

so why won't he do a favor

for Longyin City?

Besides,

he still cares about Rong Hua

and he worries that I might hurt her.

Compared with being worried and restless here,

he would rather go there with me.

You've just gained power

in Longyin City.

Why did you suddenly leave?

Do we really go to Lingxu Pavilion

to visit Miss Rong Hua

because Master Rong is worried about her?

Don't worry.

This is so important.

Before the second formation of the Chihua Pill,

I will keep the secret

and I won't tell anyone about it.

Ma'am?

It's real that we're going to Lingxu Pavilion

to visit Rong Hua under the order of Master Rong,

but we're also going

to spy on Lingxu Pavilion at the same time.

We have to

beware of Lin Jing.

The competition today

should stop when it's set.

And you are not supposed to hurt each other.

Please understand, Young Master

that swords have no eyes,

and this competition

is like a duel

between Lingxu Pavilion and Longyin City,

so I have to do my best.

So after it begins,

I can't promise you

that I can stop when it's set.

Well said! Well said!

I'm a guest

here and

guests should be polite,

so I'll take three moves of yours without fighting back.

What a poser!

I'll see if you can really take

three of my moves!

No one listens to me!

Then let the competition

begin now!

I've taken three moves!

Now it's my turn to fight back.

Rong Hua has really made great progress.

She's like a totally different person.

I'm really curious

that what amazing martial arts skills you've taught her.

This is odd.

What do you mean?

I didn't expect this.

The competition today

is set now.

Miss Rong Hua, well done!

Well done! Well done!

Well done!

Well done! Well done!

In today's competition,

I really lost.

I know

that there're a lot of grudges

between Longyin City and Lingxu Pavilion in the previous generation.

Today I came here,

because I want

to spend a lifetime

with my beloved one.

Now since I've come here,

I'll take it as my home

and you as my family members.

I know the past grudges

can't be erased easily,

but I will do my best

to repair the rifts between the two families

and to make amends for

what Longyin City has done.

Good!

You're really amazing!

I was wrong about you before.

I won,

but why are you mad?

Then tell me

how you won.

I can never fool you.

Rong Hua!

Rong Hua!

Rong Hua!

Rong Hua!

I've searched

the Pleasant Home for Hua

and I found this

in Miss Rong's dresser.

I didn't notice

that she took this pill before the competition.

There's another one

and if I'm right,

this is Shunxi Pill.

Shunxi Pill?

As long as one has some martial arts background,

after taking this pill,

they can increase

their internal force greatly

within a very short time,

but this pill has very serious side effect.

When its effect wears off,

the less serious cases

could fall in coma after spitting blood

and the serious cases

would die of broken meridians.

I shouldn't have

let her

have a competition with Cai.

What's done is done.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

We didn't expect

that Miss Rong would do this.

You got it well planned

that you would stop them in the competition

and resolve the misunderstanding between them,

but unexpectedly,

Miss Rong looks delicate on the surface,

but she is stubborn and unyielding on the inside.

Yes.

She is stubborn.

I almost forgot

that she is Rong Hua,

the younger lady of the Rong family.

If it were not for me,

she wouldn't have come here,

away from her home

and family,

and maybe

she could have already become the head of the Hall of Life

and maybe

she could become Madam Rong of Longyin City.

Every member of the Rong family

is stubborn and unyielding.

You're awake?

How could you

speak ill of my family members

when I was in coma?

At a time like this,

you're still being stubborn.

So?

Am I not right?

Just lie down.

Don't be mad

at me.

Lie down.

Of course I'm mad at you!

Tell me

where you got the Shunxi Pill.

I brought it from Longyin City.

What is this?

Shunxi Pill?

What are you doing here?

Auntie!

Don't hide it.

Take it out and show me.

Do you know

what it is?

I know.

Do you know

that it's the pill that the killers of the Hall of Emptiness

have to take before they go out

for a lethal mission?

Auntie,

I didn't mean to take it,

but I'm afraid that I might have

some unexpected accidents.

Rong Hua!
