Love a Lifetime

Episode 27

Master.

Did you lose sleep last night?

Why do you look sleepy?

This place has a lot of special snacks.

At night there are still food stalls open.

When I woke up at night

I smelled the tantalizing aroma.

Then I followed the aroma

to find the food stalls

where I ate a bit of midnight snack.

Who would have known that

I ate too much.

So I didn't sleep well

for the rest of the night.

That's right!

Why didn't I think of this possibility?

Maybe Mr. Bai Su's stomach disease has something to do with it.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

I didn't understand a thing.

It's nothing important. Master.

It's just surmise on my part.

But

what kind of surmise is it?

Tell me.

We'll know if my surmise

is right or not tonight.

But

Master, you can't go with me.

I have to go verifying it myself.

Why can't I go with you?

What should you do

if you upset your master again?

Anyway,

just don't go alongside with me.

Fine!

I'll catch up with some sleep.

It's deep into the night now.

I think he should be asleep by now.

His action tonight

will be the key.

Where is Mr. Bai Su?

That's weird.

Where did he go so late at night?

No way.

Mr. Bai Su's illness

is more serious than I thought.

No wonder the innkeeper said that

from time to time some food would go missing in his kitchen.

It turns out that

Mr. Bai Su is the burglar.

Mr. Bai Su.

I didn't expect

such an ethereal and unworldly person

also has such a cute side.

He is not gonna believe

his stomach disease is

actually caused by his sleepwalking.

Mr. Bai Su

normally eats just a few slices of vegetables in the daytime.

Naturally he will feel hungry at night.

Judging by the situation,

he must be craving for food.

But

the way Mr. Bai Su eats

is exactly the same as Master.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

He sleeps right after eating.

Of course he gets a stomach disease

because he keeps doing so for a long time.

Tomorrow I will give him some prescriptions

which I am sure will cure his disease.

Mr. Bai Su.

It's me!

It's you, young lady.

What are you doing in my room

in the middle of the night?

Why is there food here?

Did some bandits

come to the mountain?

But...

I don't believe it!

It's not your fault.

Mr. Bai Su, you are a sleepwalker,

so you have been overeating in your sleep

which caused your stomach disease.

Rest assured, Mr. Bai Su.

I won't tell anyone.

I have found the cause of Mr. Bai Su's illness.

Just fill my targeted prescriptions to make decoction for him

and he'll be fine soon.

But previously we never found

anything wrong in Master's pulse.

How could

you make a definite diagnosis so soon?

Can I ask

what the disease is?

Do you guys understand anything about medicine?

No.

Since you guys don't understand it,

why are you questioning her with your nonsense?

Shameless!

You're right, Master.

Master.

I'm good at filling prescriptions.

Let me do it.

But what exactly caused his stomach illness?

This disease

is a very weird one.

I have to go to the pharmacy myself.

Ordinary people

won't fill the prescriptions right.

How is

this possible?

You learned all your medical skills from me!

How can you call me "ordinary people"?

Kneel!

Master?

I'm sorry.

I am not your master.

I don't have a disciple like you.

Mr. Bai Su,

it confuses me that

why

you still refuse to forgive Master

after all these years.

This wicked disciple!

There is only one Bai Weizhi

in the Blackrock Mountain.

That's it.

A turtle?

Back then

Weizhi was still young and childish

and in a state of greedy for food.

One day

he even cooked Master's pet turtle

as a snack to go with wine.

Master treated that turtle as his own son.

So in a rage he expelled Weizhi out of Blackrock Mountain.

Master,

you even ate a turtle?

Come on!

Back then

I was a teenager who was still growing up.

But during the time I was living with Master,

I was forbidden from

eating many kinds of food.

I was so hungry

that I...

Master,

it's been so many years.

Just forgive me.

Moreover,

you already have a new turtle now.

Could you forgive me now?

Forget about it!

Mr. Bai Su,

to err is human, right?

Besides,

there was another person who also....

Master,

don't let the anger harm your body.

Mr. Bai Su,

I haven't finished yet.

Since Miss Rong has spoken for you,

this time I'll forgive you

for her sake.

Yes!

But

don't get too excited just yet.

As your punishment, go to the backyard

to plant vegetables and fertilize them.

My final decision

will be made based on your performance.

Thank you, Master.

I'll go fertilizing now!

I'm on it!

You're so generous and forgiving.

You will definitely enjoy longevity.

Exactly!

Look at the time.

I should go fill the prescriptions now.

I was wondering if you two

can give me a ride to town?

It's not that you don't know the way there.

Why do you need us to accompany you since it's still daytime?

Why can't you send her there?

She's a lady!

-Yes. -Yes.

Mr. Bai Su, see you.

Miss Rong, can we speak with you?

Miss Rong,

what exactly do you want?

Were you trying to make us look bad

in front of Master

because you wanted to defend that punk?

Did you also ask us to give you a ride

for the same reason?

There's something

that I want to ask you two.

You know what caused Mr. Bai Su's illness.

So why didn't you guys say anything?

Say it.

We

don't know what you're talking about.

You really don't know

or you're just playing dumb?

Mr. Bai Su's stomach illness

was caused by retention of food.

He is not gluttonous when he is conscious.

But you didn't tell him

that he sleepwalks.

He goes down from the mountain to the inns every night

to steal a lot of food and eats all.

Persisting in doing so, he got a stomach illness.

I also

found a lot of food under his bed.

No outsiders are able to come here.

Presumably the food

was prepared by you two, right?

What excuse do you two want to use?

Miss Rong.

You must keep it a secret for us.

Master is very sensitive about his reputation.

He mustn't know about this.

We...

We have our own reasons.

Yes.

This concerns Mr. Bai Su's health.

What reasons can you possibly have?

There is something you don't know.

We accidentally found out his sleepwalking

when we went to consult with Master about something important.

But we didn't know how to

bring this up after we gave it many thoughts.

We were also worried

he might find it embarrassing.

Plus

he doesn't eat much food normally.

So we thought it was a good thing

that he ate behind everyone's back.

We didn't expect this behavior

actually caused him to get the stomach illness.

That's true.

In fact, recently we have been discussing

about how to tell Master about this.

But

we have to find a way to put it mildly.

Master...

You both know what Master is like.

Fortunately, Miss Rong,

you came.

Exactly.

At the moment

we just need to pretend we don't know anything.

Master respects you.

As long as you can cure his illness,

we won't care about anything else.

You two are so evil.

You always lectured me.

I didn't expect that

while you are respectful to Master on the surface,

in fact

you guys don't care about his health at all!

I have to tell him

what you did.

Otherwise

the secret will kill me!

I can't help it!

-Weizhi. -Weizhi.

What are you doing?

The secret will kill me!

Master Rong.

Xuan Ye and I chased them to Blackrock Mountain.

Master Bai tried to go to his previous sect to seek shelter.

But according to his fellow disciples,

he was expelled from his sect a long time ago.

But Master Bai

still refused to return to Longyin City.

He has returned

the token of Hall of Oldness as a sign that

he has quit the post of master of the hall.

Bai Weizhi

gets more stupid as he grows older.

If it weren't for us Longyin City taking him in,

he would have still led a wandering life

in the world of martial arts now.

But now he abandoned

Longyin City.

Fine.

If he doesn't want to go back to Longyin City,

then from now on

Longyin City will no longer welcome him back.

We're in desperate need of talents

at the moment.

The Hall of Oldness can't go without a master.

Su.

Give the token

to Mr. Mei.

Before I decide whom the next master is,

Mei Ying will

temporarily be in charge of the Hall of Oldness.

This position

is yours now.

Master Rong.

Even if it's acting master of the hall,

it's a decision that you need to make deliberately.

But Mr. Mei...

During our raid on Lingxu Pavilion,

Mr. Mei has proved his loyalty

with his actual actions.

Since this is a provisional arrangement,

surely I have my own considerations.

But...

It's already settled.

Master Rong, rest assured that

I will take care of the city's affairs.

Ma'am, you can also count on

my active cooperation

whenever you need me in the future.

Master Rong once said

the four halls of Longyin City need to be united.

Master Mei, I look forward to your efforts.

Sure.

I'll definitely sit on the throne of

the city master one day.

Master Mei, you are now holding two positions at the same time.

You should be busy with the city's affairs.

Why do you keep following me?

This is the only way

which must be passed

if I am going to the Hall of Oldness.

We just happened to be going to the same direction.

You are a good tactician.

I was only away for a few days

and you made Master Rong trust you so much already.

It seems that these days

you didn't sit idle.

I just did my bit by

solving some minor issues for Master Rong.

It's not worth mentioning.

Mei Ying, I'm warning you.

Don't get too cocky.

Remember,

Longyin City

belongs to my Rong family after all.

It's not your place to behave atrociously here.

Master Mei.

Where's your manner?

You're just a humble disciple.

Where's your respect to me,

the firstborn of Longyin City's master?

I'm so sorry.

Miss Rong, please have mercy.

Disciples' mistake

is because of my poor discipline.

How about

I apologize to you

on behalf of

my Hall of Oldness?

Damn you, Mei Ying!

Ma'am.

During the last few days while you were away,

Mei Ying has made some actions.

Although the post of master of the Hall of Oldness seemed empty,

in fact Mei Ying had already acted as the de facto master.

He also convinced Master Rong to

make an exception by recruiting

disciples from other sects.

He said that

we need to recruit talents

with an open mind.

This is the list of the newly recruited disciples.

This is absurd!

What "open mind"?

When did Longyin City ever allow outsiders to join us?

Mei Ying is clearly trying to

establish his influence by winning people's support.

Master Rong really gets confused as he grows older

so he is bewitched by a back-stabber.

You can go now.

Yes, Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Times have changed,

so has Longyin City.

It's better to be careful with what you say.

Finally, Rong Hua is gone.

But then Mei Ying showed up.

I really don't know what my father is thinking.

Is there

a place for me as his daughter in his heart?

Why can anyone replace me so easily?

Our battle against Lingxu Pavilion

caused a lot of casualties.

Longyin City needs an infusion of fresh blood.

Anyway, now that Miss Rong Hua has left,

you are his daughter

and the only bloodline of his.

You don't need to take a sinister man like Mei Ying too seriously.

What he gets is only a momentary success.

If Master Rong was really enchanted by him,

he wouldn't have just given him a temporary post.

You need to keep cool for the time being.

When you become the master of the city,

Mei Ying's destiny

will be under your control.

You reminded me.

Now he needs to lead both the Halls of Life and Oldness.

Since he is eager to make contributions,

he will make some oversights.

We can defeat him in one fell swoop

at the opportune moment.

You're finally here.

I have been waiting for you for a long time.

Why did the Chihua Pill lead me here?

What exactly is going on?

This Chihua Pill

belongs to you.

And you

belong here.

If you come, it means

your heart

has chosen to practice Command to the Dark Soldiers Skill.

Only by practicing it

can you survive.

Only by practicing this skill

can you defeat Rong Jingfeng.

Who are they?

What's going on?

Don't worry.

They are fine.

And in the future

these people

will become your most powerful weapons.

But you can't

force people to do things they don't want,

especially practicing a skill.

If you don't want to practice it,

I won't force you.

Isn't everything that happened

your own choice?

If you want to give up,

you can leave the Ling Sect right now.

No one will stop you.

I don't care what you are talking about

or doing now.

I just want to ask you,

when can I start practicing?

You're really Ruohan's good son.

I am right about your potential.

It seems that Ruohan's death

is worth it after all.

You are not afraid

after I master the kill,

I might kill you

to avenge my mother?

If you really have the ability to do so,

I am right here waiting.

You can kill me any time you want.

All right.

Now

I will teach you the know-how of Command to the Dark Soldiers Skill.

But I have to remind you,

the process will be very painful.

Every time you make a breakthrough,

your pain will increase.

The pain is unbearable for ordinary people.

Once started,

it's basically unlikely to turn back.

Since I decided to come to the Ling Sect,

I never thought about turning back.

If you can walk out of this deep pool safely,

you can come talking about taking revenge with me.

Yue.

Yue.

Yue!

How dare you guys

wander around in the Ling Sect's territory?

Do you want to die?

For the past days

none of you the Ling Sect's people ever cared about us.

Why did You guys immediately appear

when Yue disappeared out of the blue today?

You guys are trying to stop me from looking for him.

Is it because

you did something dirty so

you're afraid we might find out?

How dare you?

I'd like to see who dares to make a move

without your Supreme Master's order.

Cang Qi.

Do you have any news about Nalan?

Supreme Master has made a new order.

You must not leave your residence without permission.

We can kill you without asking for permission

if we find anyone of you leave.

You!

We have no intention of trespassing.

We're just looking for him.

So excuse me,

where is our young master now?

You guys just mind your own business.

If you keep bothering us,

you'll pay the piece.

Shut up!

Deputy Master.

They are Supreme Master's guests.

Since when did you get to make the decision for her?

I shall not dare to do so.

Step back.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

If you have news of Nalan Yue,

could you tell us?

You should go back to your room now.

I promise you that

Nalan Yue's not in fatal danger now.

He is safe.

You don't have to worry about him.

As for where he is now,

I am sorry but

I'm not at liberty to say.

Anyway,

just go back and wait at ease.

I will do my best to keep him safe.

Thank you.

But...

Miss Mei,

let's go back to our room

where we can make further plans.

This time's practice will be an extremely dangerous one.

I wonder if Nalan Yue

can survive it.

What's going on?

I seem to be unable to focus and form

my inner strength.

I didn't expect that after Lingxu Pavilion was destroyed,

its young master Nalan Yue

was reduced to such a weak state.

It seems that

you have already lost all your strength.

Since I am already an ordinary person,

wouldn't it be easier for you to kill me?

Come on. Do it.

OK.

As you wish.

Die!

Loser.

I told you,

I would only give you an opportunity of fighting him within three moves.

Now get lost!

Why can't I focus and form

my inner strength?

What is Command to the Dark Soldiers Skill exactly?

Do you think the Command to the Dark Soldiers Skill

is so easy to grasp?

Now that the Chihua Pill is inside your body,

the poisonous insect

will use you as its host.

Once you start to practice the Command to the Dark Soldiers Skill,

you'll lose all your previous internal strength.

You have to abandon everything you already have

to become a new person and get even stronger.

It's just like

a phoenix will arise from the ashes.

If you want to give up now,

you will be an ordinary man

for the rest of your life.

If you can't even beat

a deputy master in the Tang School,

how are you going to fight against Rong Jingfeng?

And how can you

take revenge on him for your mother

and Lingxu Pavilion?

If you want to take revenge,

the only way

for you is to endure all the pains.

You have to think very carefully.

The pains

will be more serious in the future.

I'm going to seek justice for

everything that happened.

I want the whole world of martial arts

to witness

those villains confess their sin and pay for what they did.

Yue!

Go away!

No wonder Mo Huan made me prepare these.

If your fever is still not gone tonight,

it will definitely leave

lingering effect that will bother you.

Yue,

after you left that day,

Rong Hua was particularly worried about you.

After your wedding,

Rong Hua couldn't resist

asking Xiaocai to inquire about your news.

She gave me this

which she treated as a priceless treasure.

She said she wanted you to keep it

as something to remember her by if anything happens.

But ever since I met you again,

I never found the opportunity

to give this hairpin to you.

Rong Hua's mother

gave this to her.

Yue,

no matter what happens,

I believe

you are always

the only man she loves.

So,

even if it's for her sake,

I hope

you can make it through.

You left your personal weapon

everywhere so casually.

What should you do if I didn't find it,

but other people outside the Ling Sect secretly took it?

People outside the Ling Sect

wouldn't be so capable like you.

Since I have already joined the Ling Sect,

I feel fearless

no matter I have the knife or not.

You are so calm and confident.

You're even

calmer than Nalan Yue.

My suffering is nothing

compared to Yue.

I don't have the right to mourn and shed tears here.

Mrs. Lin...

I always thought

among my disciples, Ruohan resembled me the most.

But I never expected

the one that acted like me that most

turned out to be Rong Jingfeng.

Ruohan was introverted,

generous and gentle.

She always

pretended to be cold and decisive since she was younger.

But that was just because she didn't meet the right person.

But the appearance of Nalan Xi

completely changed everything.

Supreme Mater,

the Redflame Lotus transplanted from the Cold Cave of

Lingxu Pavilion has survived.

The poisonous insects are quite active.

Right now we just need to wait for the flowers to blossom.

I don't need

to tell you that

the Redflame Lotus

can decide Nalan Yue's life.

So you guys

will protect it at all costs,

right?

Otherwise

Ruohan will not be able to

rest in peace.

I heard that recently Longyin City has been recruiting talents outside the city.

Did you make arrangements

for what Yue asked you to do?

I have arranged our people to join the Hall of Sickness.

They sent messages back that

Rong Su and Mei Ying

keep secretly fighting against each other.

The Hall of Sickness is facing a change in its master.

Did you get rid of those people?

We spared a person's life to send the messages back.

Everyone else has been killed.

The message

should be sent back by now.

Good.

This is the first step towards

our Lingxu Pavilion's plan of revenge.

Among the eight disciples who sneaked into Beihuang for information,

seven of them died overnight.

Wounds left on the bodies

looked quite weird.

Weird how?

There was a mark of Chihua Pill on each body's chest

and the bodies all had bite marks left by poisonous insects.

The wounds were extremely subtle.

All of them were

severely hurt at their heart and lungs

and put to death in an instant.

Chihua Pill...

Poisonous insects...

Who did this?

The only disciple who escaped from death

is now in a confused state of mind.

He kept repeating a sentence.

"This is the karma we get for killing the whole Nalan family."

The Nalan family?

The toxin has entered in your heart.

If you keep

only taking some decoction every day,

the situation will not change for the better.

Toxins will invade into your body gradually.

You will only get worse.

If we want to

completely heal your disease,

we have to get Bai Weizhi back.

Bai Weizhi is reluctant to be here.

Why do you have to force him to return?

We both know

sooner or later this day will come

for anyone who makes toxins.

Even if he comes back,

how much longer can he prolong my life?

Ok.

I'll do as you wish.

Do you have

Hua's news?

I won't consider her my daughter in the future.

Don't ask about her again.

Before I die,

I have only one wish

that I hope you can promise me.

Sure.

After I die,

you can never

let Mei Ying have the Hall of Sickness.

These are detoxifying herbs.

I didn't expect you would use these.

Yun.

Be careful with what you say.

You just arrived at Longyin City.

Talk less and work more.

Remember,

walls have ears!

So be cautious with your words and deeds.

Yes.

I will remember what you teach me, Xiaoxiao.

I just saw that these herbs

are all very rare,

which reminded me of my past memories.

Before my family fortunes declined,

I often followed my dad to go to Beihuang for medical herbs.

At that time I met a group of people

who were all in strange clothes

but the medical ingredients they sold were all superb ones

such as Ice Crystals.

Where did you collect medical herbs before?

Miss Rong.

Miss Rong.

Our family used to pick herbs in Beihuang.

Do you know the names of those who sold Ice Crystals?

Or did they wear any special accessories?

They never revealed their names.

Accessories...

There was nothing that popped out.

My dad and I were curious,

but we didn't dare to ask anything.

Didn't those herb sellers

say something else?

Sorry but I can't remember.

But I only remember their leader said something about how

rare the Ice Crystal is

that it can spawn the growth of everything.

They often used it to cultivate

a kind of flower which blossoms in two different forms.

Master Rong.

Master, Ms. Ziyan.

Hurry up and go to the workshop to make medicines.

Yes.

Alright, Su.

Tell us what happened.

Yes.

After I received the news early in the morning,

I sent out the disciples of the Hall of Emptiness

to Beihuang for information.

But

the disciples were all brutally murdered

in different ways.

I think

the Nalan family has been secretly taking actions.

I'm afraid they have been planning their scheme for many years.

So please let me

go to Beihuang to investigate the matter personally.

The people of the Ling Sect are also there.

I can take the opportunity to investigate them.

After Lingxu Pavilion was destroyed,

both Mo Huan and the Ling Sect haven't taken any action.

Master Rong,

didn't you ever question the weird quietness?

OK, Su,

I'll leave this task to you.

But remember.

You have to tread lightly.

Don't spook our target.

Yes.

But almost

all of the Nalan family members were killed.

The Nalan family has always been tough and persistent.

Since they could revive Lingxu Pavilion many years ago,

some of their people must have managed to survive this time.

Those disciples of the Hall of Emptiness who were killed

all had the mark of Chihua Pill on their chest.

This must be the Nalan family's retaliation full of resentment

against our Longyin City.

Not to mention

Lin Ruohan

was the most favored disciple of Mo Huan.

Maybe she is healing at the Ling Sect to

prepare herself to make a comeback anytime.

Su,

you will handle this matter.

I will go get prepared

and will leave tomorrow.
