Love a Lifetime

Episode 33

It was you indeed.

You deliberately spread the news

and led us here,

but you didn't take anyone with you.

What the hell is your purpose of doing this?

Now that I'm waiting for you here alone,

of course I've been fully prepared

Back then,

Jingyuan broke into the the Ling Sect's territory.

So far,

we haven't settled the score yet.

If Lin Ruohan didn't protect him,

how could he stay alive till now?

But you

brought so many people here

as soon as you got the news.

Looks like you are still bearing a grudge

against the Ling Sect.

Cut the crap.

Where is Jingyuan now?

As I expected,

you are in secret collusion with the Nalan family.

But have you told them

that you are in

the Ling Sect's territory now?

You needn't drive a wedge between us.

We've known about this.

As Lingxu Pavilion is already destroyed,

they have to yield to you.

You just want us to show up

by spreading the news, don't you?

The Ling Sect slaughtered the Nalan family back then.

Even if we are willing to make concessions

to avoid so many years of disputes,

I'm afraid you won't let it go easily, right?

Though I don't know

why you drew the clansmen out deliberately,

Yue won't let you harm his clansmen

as long as he's alive.

Yun Xu was right

about something.

It's time to end the disputes

between the Nalan family

and the Ling Sect.

Mo Huan,

why do you take the Nalan family

as your enemy for no reason?

We've been looking into

what happened back then for so many years,

and checked something about it.

However,

who the hell are you?

Everything has changed as time goes by.

It's been

so many years.

It's been so long

that

I even don't remember who I am.

You had already known

that second elder of the Tang Sect

poisoned the water,

but you just

watched me developing him

into an avatar soldier calmly.

Have you ever

considered developing me

into an avatar soldier of yours too?

In this way, you can revenge for the Nalan family,

and entirely rest easy

without any hidden trouble.

Actually,

every time you came here,

I thought to activate the poisonous worm.

I was supposed to figure out

that you must have taken precautions

once you retained me at the Ling Sect.

You asked me to practice the avatar soldier art,

but you were not afraid of that at all.

If I'm not wrong,

I'm unlikely to develop you

into an avatar soldier

even if I have any evil plan on you, right?

Back then,

I was devoted to practicing avatar soldier art in seclusion.

I thought

I would be invincible in the world someday,

but I failed at last.

As I was so anxious for success

without using the life-and-death Chihua Pill

to protect my heart meridians,

as a result, I suffered the backfire therefrom.

And I lost control of myself due to a false move.

I happened to learn another set of martial arts skills

and keep my eternal look.

The avatar soldier art

is a supreme kind of martial arts of the Nalan family.

Unfortunately, I cannot learn it anymore.

Since you are one of the Nalan family,

why do you press hard on them,

even kill them all?

And why do you take pains to grab the Chihua Pill?

Don't you know

that the whole tragedy arises from you?

It turns out

that you've already known about everything.

You got that right.

Everything

arises from me exactly.

But I just want the Nalan family

to be stronger.

For living on,

I could do nothing but only practice the avatar soldier art

to resist the backfire from the Chihua Pill,

and created the Ling Sect

on my own.

I thought my disciples

were loyal to me.

Unexpectedly,

Rong Jingfeng

knew about the secret of the Nalan family

and kept the matter about the Chihua Pill in his mind.

It's hard for Mo Huan to relieve herself from revenge.

After I learn the avatar soldier art,

I'll definitely disable her

and no longer let her harm Jianghu.

Back then,

Mr. Bai Su,

who was worshiped,

allied with all sects to besiege

and greatly damage the Ling Sect.

In such a desperate situation,

you tried to get the Chihua Pill

for the purpose of controlling the whole Jianghu

by sending my mother to sneak into the Nalan family.

Exactly.

But everything

was not as I expected.

In the Nalan family, your mother met Nalan Xi, your father.

Then she betrayed

the Ling Sect

and me, her master, for her own purpose.

My mother

didn't betray you.

If you can relieve yourself from revenge,

everyone will be free,

and Jianghu will be in peace again.

Between right and wrong, good and evil,

my mother only chose the right side.

However, as you felt resentment,

you sent Rong Jingfeng

to attack the Nalan family to get the Chihua Pill.

Each of his sword cut

made the whole grass land bloody red.

They are relatives of your clan.

Don't you feel ashamed of

making them dead like that?

Shut up!

You know nothing about this.

If your father was

the master of the Nalan family,

just like you said,

you and I...

Exactly.

Nalan Xi

is the second head of the clan in succession to my father.

I'm the only child of my father.

After I left the Nalan family,

a collateral relative

became the head

because he had no son.

How could it be?

According to what you said,

you are already...

I'm almost 100 years old.

I saved you

and forced you to practice the avatar soldier art

because I just want you to fulfill the wish

I failed to accomplish.

You

traveled between Longyin City and Lingxu Pavilion,

destroyed the Chihua Pill yourself,

and even fought against Rong Jingfeng.

It was more than revenging for the Ling Sect, wasn't it?

If you did plan like this,

why do you choose me?

That's because you are Ruohan and Nalan Xi's son.

You deserve to be the successor

of both the Ling Sect and the Nalan family.

Remember,

don't let any outsider get the Chihua Pill again.

That's all.

As for the practice of internal martial art skills,

take care of yourself.

Do you believe what she said?

I've no idea

what else she intends to do

by saving us

from Lingxu Pavilion

and arranging everything painstakingly.

By the way,

has every one of the Nalan family

been found in northern wastelands?

Currently led by Yun Xu,

they are already settled.

Tell Yun Xu

to bring all of them to the Ling Sect.

Rong Jingfeng

is quite a suspicious person.

He will find the track of the Nalan family sooner or later.

We must find the Nalan family members ahead of him.

Yes.

Miss Rong Hua,

last time, you asked me

to switch the antidote in Master's room.

When I checked Master's room again recently,

I found it moved by someone.

So I sent a disciple to inquire about this,

he told me that Mei Ying is sick

and has a terrible fever.

Currently,

he locks himself in the Hall of Life.

As for the reason,

no one knows it.

This is strange.

He's not injured or sick,

but how could he suddenly have a high fever?

Looks like he wouldn't allow anyone

to visit him at this critical moment.

Even if he was infected with a cold or something,

he could get it treated in the Hall of Life.

But why did he come to Master's room to steal the antidote?

Mei Ying

must have hidden something ulterior.

By the way, Xiaoxiao,

you managed the funeral affairs

of your master.

Did you see a hairpin

in her room?

I didn't see one when Master's body was put into the coffin.

And as far as I remember,

there was no hairpin in Master's hair

when her body was carried back to Longyin City.

This is weird.

When I paid the last visit to Auntie,

I did see her wearing a hairpin.

But it was gone

when I went to find it again.

This hairpin is paired with that of my mother's.

Auntie used to cherish it a lot all the time.

How could it be suddenly gone?

Precisely.

Master Rong also gave her a hairpin,

but Master only cherished this one.

Looks like I neglected this point.

Is this

related to Master's death?

No matter why Mei Ying tried to steal the antidote,

we have to figure out the truth

by making him show up.

But who can make Mei Ying

willingly walk out from the gate of the Hall of Life?

Only my father can.

Su.

Miss Rong Su.

I have something important to discuss with you.

Xiaoxiao.

What's up, Su?

I got some news.

It is said

that Nalan Yue has widely raised challenges

to ask the disciples of all sects to gather in Longyin City.

Someday, he will return in person

and ask them

to revenge for their sect masters.

I didn't expect

he could be so impatient

for an immediate revenge.

What's wrong with you?

I'm fine.

You needn't worry about me.

I just feel a little dizzy.

I'm afraid

this cannot be concealed anymore.

We should let Dad know

and discuss about this with the masters of four halls.

I'll expect how Mei Ying will deal with this.

What's wrong with Mei Ying?

What took him so long?

I think this lad is irresponsible.

As the master of a hall, he's so undisciplined.

How can he set an example like this

to the disciples of the Hall of Life?

Thank you for worrying about me, Mr. Bai.

Greetings, Master Rong.

Something held me up

when I left my house.

Please forgive me, Master Rong.

Mei Ying,

I heard that

you've been staying in the Hall of Life

without going out.

You are scheming something again,

aren't you?

You used to care about

the affairs of Longyin City,

but now,

people of all sects in Jianghu

will gather in Tingfeng Town.

Why can't I get any advice from you?

Master Rong,

I'm not aware of this in time

because I've been busy

with some business of the Hall of Life.

Mr. Mei,

you don't look well.

Are you sick?

Since everyone is present here,

how about my master

takes your pulse?

If you are sick,

you should be cured as soon as possible.

As Longyin City is in trouble,

whoever gets sick

is not acceptable.

I'm fine.

You needn't take my pulse, Mr. Bai.

No.

Something's wrong.

What's up?

Your face...

You are…

you are poisoned, aren't you?

What?

He's poisoned?

Well...

no wonder something took you so long.

He's got a high fever.

Well,

since you are quite sick,

why do you insist on coming here?

Well...

Exactly,

Mr. Mei.

As the master of the Hall of Life,

I'm obliged to share the burdens in Longyin City.

However, I've been nervous and jumpy

since I took up the post.

So…

Mei Ying,

how did this happen?

Why did you get poisoned?

The Hall of Sickness developed this poison.

Why did you

get poisoned by this, Mr. Mei?

Master Rong, thank you for your trust in me

for escorting Master Ziyan out of the City for medical treatment,

but I failed

and made Master Ziyan dead.

Though you didn't held me responsible at all,

I felt so ashamed in my mind

that I always tried to make up for this.

So,

without permission,

I snuck into Master Ziyan's room

and tried to test this poison with my body

to make up for this.

Unfortunately, however,

I overestimated myself.

Nowadays,

Miss Rong Hua has returned to the City.

I know it's hard to remain on the post

as the master of the Hall of Life.

But, Master Rong,

everything I did is for Longyin City.

I hope you can understand.

Mei Ying,

you should be very clear

that there's no room for disloyal people

in my Longyin City.

Did you tell me

the truth just now?

Master Rong,

my loyalty can be proved.

Master Ziyan died from making poison for Longyin City.

From now on,

I'm willing to test any poison with my body.

If the Hall of Sickness needs me,

I'll not hesitate to

go through fire and water.

If you still don't trust me,

I'm willing to swear with my blood.

Mr. Mei,

if you don't stop hurting yourself,

I'm afraid you will lose your leg.

Xiaoxiao,

heal the wound for Mr. Rong first.

We'll check

how the new medicine the Hall of Sickness develops

works later.

Yes.

Hua.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you, Hua?

Bai.

What's wrong with Hua?

Tell me.

Hua is poisoned.

From today on,

I'll manage Hua's food

and daily life in person.

No one is allowed to approach her.

Hua.

Are you there?

I'm here to see you.

Master,

come in.

Stop walking.

Sit down.

Come on.

Hua.

You...

how are you feeling now?

You feel something uncomfortable?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry to make you worried.

You can't stay in Longyin City anymore.

According to your condition,

others will suspect you

later on.

You might be revealed sooner or later.

Let me try to bring you out of the City

as soon as possible.

Master,

thanks for putting on the play with me just now.

If Mei Ying saw through this,

he would make an issue of it

and divert everyone's attention again.

Well, Hua,

what are you doing to Mei Ying?

If he didn't do anything guilty,

how could he worry that I may get the goods on him?

This time,

he's ruined by his own cleverness.

What...

what's your plan?

Listen to me.

Anyway,

your safety is the most important.

Even if you have a great misunderstanding about Nalan Yue,

the baby in your body is innocent.

In Longyin City,

you are not the only one that wants Mei Ying dead.

You can ask someone else to kill him for you.

Thank you for concealing this for me, Master.

I could have been detected

if I didn't find this excuse of getting poisoned.

Don't worry, Master.

When everything is done,

I'll leave here myself.

Since every one of the four halls is present,

you should be serious

about Rong Hua's getting poisoned.

Currently, Longyin City is suffering trouble internally and externally.

Someone dared secretly do harm to Rong Hua

under Master Rong's nose.

We can't let this guy go.

Master Rong has ordered

the Hall of Emptiness to take full charge of this

and entirely search the four halls.

The matter of poisoning

should be thoroughly investigated.

Yes.

Miss Rong Hua.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You didn't tell anyone

about this, did you?

Mei Ying is such a cunning villain

that he tried to muddle through with the excuse of testing the poison.

However, he didn't expect

that the poison on Master's hairpin is specially developed

and different from others.

Master attacked Mei Ying

with the hairpin in melee

at a critical moment

before she died.

It was Master

that made Mei Ying poisoned.

Besides, he didn't know

that the poison he got

has exposed him

as the murderer who killed Master.

We can't tell anyone

about this.

If you testified against him now,

he will definitely deny that.

We must be sure

to get him entirely overturned.

Therefore, my father will lose his trust in him.

I didn't expect Mei Ying had this plan

when he volunteered

to escort Master out of the City.

So you wronged Mr. Nalan

that day, didn't you?

Precisely.

I didn't have enough trust in him,

but he even didn't give me any explanation about that.

However,

I'll help him

to prove his innocence.

Since Mr. Nalan worries about you so much,

he would understand your difficulties.

Miss Rong Hua,

here are the herbs you need.

I'll get them decocted and bring the medicine to you later.

However,

the poison in your body is not cleaned up yet,

so you need more rest

and don't work too hard.

You collected

these herbs yourself?

I can't believe

that a nobody disciple knows a lot about herbs.

Miss Rong Hua,

Yun is right.

As you haven't recovered yet,

you should go back to have more rest.

Mrs. Nalan.

Shut the door.

How's everything going?

You'd better be careful

about this, Mrs. Nalan.

Don't wake up the sleeping dog

and get yourself into trouble.

I know what I'm doing.

By the way,

go remind that guy in the Hall of Sickness

that don't deliver the message

at this critical moment.

No mistake should be made.

Yes.

The two of them do look the same.

Mei Ying,

you have no way out this time.

Give it to me.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Stop pretending

in front of me.

Give me the message you are going to deliver.

You can't let Nalan Yue

know about this.

What...

What are you doing?

We are serving our own masters,

doing our own jobs,

and taking our own responsibilities.

Why do you mind my business?

You...

You did notice something.

When you were collecting the herbs,

you noticed

that these herbs

were not used as antidote.

So what?

There's too much at stake.

No mistake should be made.

If any problem arises from this,

who can be held responsible?

Can you?

Besides,

Young Master has the right to know about the truth.

I know

I can't conceal this from you.

This is supposed to be happy.

However, the situation is special at present.

The fewer people who know about this,

the safer Mrs. Nalan will be.

How stupid you are!

Only when Young Master knows about this

can Mrs. Nalan be exactly safe.

Young Master will definitely risk his life

to protect her from being harmed.

I want Nalan Yue to know about this too,

but you don't know anything

about the situation in Longyin City.

No one here

is trustworthy

except for Mr. Bai.

Once this is leaked out,

Mrs. Nalan

will be in danger.

Now is the time

to be attacked on both ends.

You are placed here by Nalan Yue

to know the situation in the City

instead of making trouble for no reason.

You should worry about yourself

and do your job prudently.

Otherwise,

your identity will be exposed soon.

I…

I do everything prudently.

Am I imprudent?

As one of the Nalan family,

you pretended to not know Mo Huan.

You thought you were pretending very well,

but

you already revealed yourself.

Let me ask you,

who doesn't tremble with fear

in northern wastelands

when hearing the name of Mo Huan?

What you tried to conceal

made you revealed on the contrary.

If you do want to keep Mrs. Nalan safe,

you should do your job in a low profile,

and don't force Nalan Yue to do anything aggressive.

When I entered Longyin City,

I was already fearless of death.

Even if my identity is exposed,

I won't get the Nalan family into trouble.

Young Master only ordered me

to keep Mrs. Nalan safe.

Even if she misunderstood him,

but he still concerns about her

in his mind.

I thought this could make them reconcile with each other,

but I forgot that Longyin City

is now in danger,

even if it's Mrs. Nalan's home.

Mrs. Nalan

surely has her own plan.

Don't worry.

In a few days,

she won't disappoint Nalan Yue again.

Ma'am,

we found this in Mei Ying's room,

Master Ziyan's hairpin.

Ma'am.

Be careful.

This hairpin is poisonous.

It really is Auntie's hairpin.

Where's Mei Ying now?

He is recuperating in the Hall of Life,

and has never left.

I've arranged our men outside to watch over him.

You are the boss to deal with him.

Surround the Hall of Life immediately

and get Mei Ying alive.

Today I must hold him responsible for my auntie's death.

Yes.

Several days ago,

Hua ordered Jingyuan

to make a hairpin

which is the same as Ziyan's.

Hua deliberately set Mei Ying up

by putting that hairpin in his room?

But why did she do that?

Is there

anything hidden

behind Ziyan's death?

Retreat!

Let's go!

Retreat!

Young Master,

shall we chase them?

Seeing our power,

they will definitely hype this up.

It is good

for us.

Stop chasing them.

Next,

let's go to Longyin City.

Yes.

Mr. Mei.

How's everything going outside?

It's extremely unfavorable to us.

The Hall of Emptiness has been ordered

to search the whole Longyin City.

They have found

Master Ziyan's hairpin in your room.

And the Hall of Sickness has confirmed

that the poison in your body

is the same

as that on the hairpin.

Are you

the murderer...

Shut up!

You shouldn't ask anything about this.

Mr. Mei,

if you don't have the antidote

to detoxify the poison in your body,

I'm afraid you can't last for much longer.

Hurry up.

Go and spy on

what's going on.

But you...

Hurry up!

Yes.

Ma'am,

we've surrounded the Hall of Life.

They will be unlikely to escape.

Good job.

Mr. Mei,

bad news!

The Hall of Life has been surrounded.

Currently,

Master Rong is coming to the gate.

I can't believe that.

I can't believe

that Rong Hua

no longer stands aloof from the world.

What she's doing now is heartless and cruel.

She could even set me up.

She hid a fake hairpin in my room

for the purpose of catching me red handed.

However,

I won't lose.

It is this traitor

that killed your auntie?

Master Rong,

the wound in Mei Ying's leg was surely made by Auntie.

The most important thing right now

is to call him out for confrontation.

Mei Ying is full of cunning tricks.

We should be careful when we come in.

Don't worry, Master Rong.

Everything has been well arranged.

Master Rong,

Mei Ying deceived me.

I know nothing about this.

Please save me, Master Rong.

No outsider is welcome in Longyin City.

I offered advice

and risked my life for you,

but look at what you did.

Rong Hua, who has been back for just several days,

covets the post as the master of the Hall of Life.

Then you treated me in an unscrupulous manner.

You should remember

that she betrays Longyin City.

Mei Ying,

I did suggest my auntie be escorted to Tingfeng Town

and taken care of by my master and me.

But Xiaoxiao was supposed to assist you.

Why did you accept this mission

so actively?

This is already doubtful enough.

Besides,

my auntie's hairpin was suddenly missing.

She developed

the poison on the hairpin herself.

It is exclusive.

You claimed

that you wanted to test the poison with your body.

However, you happened to be infected with Auntie's poison.

How do you explain this?

You tried so many times to sneak into Auntie's room

for stealing the antidote.

If I hadn't switched the antidote,

how could you still have a high fever?

Now Auntie's hairpin

is found in your room.

What else excuse do you want to find?

Nonsense!

I wonder

if you deliberately set me up

for Nalan Yue.

We set you up?

You do everything prudently.

How could I set you up?

Let me ask you,

how did you get Auntie's hairpin?

Why did you get infected with Auntie's poison?

Can you explain that?

You can't.

I swore

that I wouldn't let off the one who killed Auntie.

No wonder you were the only one missing

in Tingfeng Town that day.

It turns out

that you killed Ziyan

while there was no one around Ziyan.

And you made Nalan Yue the scapegoat.

Ziyan had no enmity against you.

Why did you kill her?

She was unwise.

It's not my fault.

Master.

What brings you here?

I was so silly.

I didn't understand

the eye contact Ziyan gave me

before she died.

If Ziyan knew in the underworld

that I released the murder who killed her,

she would surely blame me.

Stop blaming yourself, Master.

Now that the murder has been found,

Auntie will rest in peace in the underworld.

I just wonder

where Mei Ying kept Auntie's hairpin.

This hairpin

is just a fake I made.

No matter.

I'll keep

this hairpin myself.

I'll keep it with me

to cherish the memory of her.

Hua,

you must be

particularly sad now, right?

Back then,

Nalan Yue was misunderstood...

I shouldn't be sad,

but Yue should.

When he was tortured by the Chihua Pill's backfire,

I doubted that he killed Auntie.

However, he was never skeptical of me at all

from the beginning to the end.

I can't forget how he looked into my eyes

in the rest of my life.

But...

but it was not your fault under that situation.

Yue was right.

I shouldn't have doubted him from the very beginning.

When I became suspicious

and asked him all my questions,

our relationship had a rift

and could never be the same as it used to be.

Nalan Yue has given an ultimatum.

I think

he will attack the City very soon.

I should find a way

to send you out of the City.

I won't leave here.

I did so little for him.

He was suspected

as the murderer who killed the sect masters,

I must help him

to prove his innocence.

No.

I won't allow you to stay in Longyin City.

This place is too dangerous

for you

and your unborn baby.

Master,

please help me conceal this for a few more days.

What I do is not only for Yue,

but also for our baby.

I don't want our baby

to live in hatred and injustice

as soon as it was born.

Master.

It turns out that Rong Hua cooperated with me

for the purpose of entering the City to find the truth

and proving Nalan Yue's innocence.

No one would think

that Mei Ying killed Master Ziyan.

This guy is extremely cunning.

Master Rong has ordered the disciples to grind his corpse

for pacifying Auntie's soul in paradise.

As soon as Mei Ying died,

I have one less concern in Longyin City.

Keep a close watch on

what's happening in Tingfeng Town these days.

Nalan Yue

is supposed to come soon.
