[In Blossom]

[Episode 14]

Ze!

Ze! Have you lost your mind?

Ze, stop chasing!

Stop right there!

- Ze, calm down! - Don't move!

Your Young Lady has once entangled with my Young Master.

Now she is doing the same thing with another man.

No, both of you are the same.

You're busy delivering food to me while flirting with Constable Liu!

I must vent my anger today! [Diligent]

You're such a...

You're such a...

That's enough!

Ze, this is already the fifth attempt!

The accusations you made earlier were emotionless.

You need to be more worked up! You need to be more impulsive!

You should at least have uncontrollable anger!

You need to make people feel, well, chilled and trembly.

Come on, do it again.

Miss Shangguan, please don't make it difficult for me. I really don't have such talent.

Young Lady, I agree.

Look at Ze, he's so kind and upright.

He can't play the villain at all.

I'm not as good as you claim.

Anyway, you show your anger when you're saying

I have entangled with someone, and am doing it with another person.

Ze, do you have a problem with me?

No, I don't!

Miss Shangguan, please spare me.

Alright.

Let's change the subject and try one last time.

You grab her hand like this.

The other hand too.

Look at Ling and put on an imposing manner.

Tell her.

You belong to me in life and in death.

If you dare look at other men,

I'll break your legs!

Try it.

You belong to me in life and in death!

Continue.

If you dare look at other men, I'll break my own legs!

With this acting, you won't lure out the culprit.

Oh my goodness, that's so funny!

I think you'll only lure out those old ladies who are watching.

How dare you!

Indeed. Why would I miss out on someone readily available?

I can't stop laughing.

Constable Liu. Come over here.

- Come. - Me?

Come.

I have let go of the past and turned over a new leaf.

I'm not the same person I used to be.

For a person to grow, how much misunderstanding and suspicion must one go through?

Forget about it, then.

For the sake of the people of Heyang, I will endure this grievance!

Could you stop pacing around? You're making me dizzy.

Where on earth is this?

A temporary shelter in case of emergencies.

Like a shell for the turtle to hide in.

How annoying.

If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be people trying to kill me.

How could you blame me for this?

If you didn't swindle at that place, I wouldn't have ventured into the Ghost Market.

I even suspect you're in cahoots with them. You led me over for a purpose.

Wait... I led you there?

Did I send a letter asking you to come?

You're funny. Don't blame other people, for the trouble you brought upon yourself.

Are you even a man?

- Bai Xiaosheng. - What is it?

Mr. Sun.

Young Master.

How's it going?

As you expected, it was the Gold Water Sect's doing.

By the river in the Ghost Market, a tattoo of a golden-tailed dragon was found on the murderer's body.

These people used swords,

but their martial arts techniques were somehow related to the Gold Water Sect's Emei Piercers.

These rats from the sewers have been hiding for so long.

What makes them suddenly emerge?

The remnants of the Gold Water Sect are still up to no good.

They're secretly plotting revenge against you.

I also found a note on the bodies.

Young Master, please take a look.

[Leave the Silver Rain Terrace and head to the Ghost Market at noon]

There really is a mole in the Silver Rain Terrace.

I told you so.

- I... - Young Master.

For your safety, you can't go back for now.

You'll have to stay here for a few days.

It's just some remnants of the Gold Water Sect. I won't stay in this turtle shell for them.

Young Master!

The Gold Water Sect is ruthless and treacherous.

Three years ago, the former master fell victim to their schemes.

You mustn't let your guard down.

Young Master, be cautious!

Get up!

If you don't agree, we won't get up.

Enough.

As long as the traitor is not dealt with,

I will stay here.

Get up.

Well... It's none of my business.

Can... Can I go back first?

You can't leave.

In my opinion, you can't get away with this matter.

What?

Me?

The person who knows the hiding place of the Silver Rain Terrace can't leave alive.

I won't tell a soul.

Zhuo Lanjiang.

Just let her go.

Young Master, the human heart is unpredictable.

She's a notorious little swindler in the Ghost Market.

She'd do anything for money.

Young Master, you can't trust her.

I trust her.

Young Master...

Didn't you say so? She's just a little swindler.

Even if she really deceives me,

it won't be a problem for me.

Young Master, your noodles.

Young Master, Ling has made many delicious dishes today.

Why didn't you go to the dining hall?

Out of sight, out of mind.

- You may go. - Yes.

I think Mr. Pan has been acting strangely lately.

Yeah, it's quite strange. And he's basically nowhere to be seen.

When I asked him to join the lantern parade on behalf of Jiang, he was quite enthusiastic.

What's wrong with him now?

Young Lady, do you think Mr. Pan is nervous

and secretly preparing for the Lantern Festival?

- Why would he be nervous? - Competition among men is fierce.

If the result doesn't meet expectations, wouldn't he be a loss, a failure,

and a big joke to Master Zhuo?

- Is it that serious? - Of course.

Moreover, it happens in front of the girl he likes.

- His self-respect matters more than anything. - Stop making up stories already.

But come to think of it, why haven't I seen Jiang for these two days?

Yeah.

Young Lady, here's a letter for you.

These words represent me. Recently, I've been busy with terrace affairs, [Jiang]

I leave the preparations for the Lantern Festival to you and Mr. Pan.

I'll try to come early tomorrow to help you both.

How much longer do we have to stay here?

I told you to leave but you didn't.

What if I go out and they still won't let me go?

What if they put a knife on my neck, and ask for your location?

If I tell them, it is considered as betraying you.

If I don't tell them, then I will die.

Thus, after some consideration, I think it's safer to stay here.

Why do you trust me?

When I was questioning you at the Ghost Market,

you were so scared, yet you didn't betray your friend.

I think you're trustworthy.

That's because of Caiwei.

This house seems quite old.

When was it built?

When I was little, my father built it with me.

I've heard the rumors that the Gold Water Sect killed your father and you massacred the Gold Water Sect.

I even heard the river turned red at that time. Is it true?

Have you really killed so many people?

They deserved it.

How dare a bunch of rats from the underworld covet the status of our Silver Rain Terrace.

The weak are the prey of the strong in the martial world,

but they made such despicable acts.

Please.

[Maintaining the Peace]

Master, be careful!

That fire was extremely big.

My father was burned to ashes.

On that day, I was supposed to enter the academy.

I gave up my official career, but engaged in martial arts.

Father!

I've avenged you.

Since you have wiped out the whole Gold Water Sect, where did the assassins from earlier come from?

They are the remnants.

They suddenly appeared two months ago.

After some investigation, the clues pointed to Jiangnan Teahouse.

When I made my way there following the trail, they seemed to disappear into thin air,

like rats scrambling into a hole.

They left behind no trace.

Two months ago, Caiwei was hurt too.

If it weren't for them, how could I have left Heyang?

Yang Caiwei wouldn't get hurt either.

If I get to catch them, those old and new grudges, I will settle them all at once.

It's really lively today.

Look at this, it's so beautiful!

- Here, thank you. - Excuse me. I'd like a bowl too.

Here they are! Mr. Pan is here!

Mr. Pan!

♫ Neither tense nor slow, no regrets nor sway ♫

♫ Never leaving, never forsaking, never fearing sorrow or joy ♫

♫ Leaving behind one's mark in one's life ♫

The bright moon and the fresh breeze amid flowers.

Thanks to Mr. Pan, we get to enjoy this lively Lantern Festival again.

Yeah, thanks to Mr. Pan! It's really lively here!

♫ We brush off old dreams with smiles ♫

♫ Grant you warmth, grant me affection ♫

♫ We stay together for evermore ♫

May Mr. Pan bless us with good fortune and prosperity.

May Mr. Pan bless us with good fortune and prosperity.

The Lantern Festival has already begun. I can't wait any longer.

We need to quickly deal with the Gold Water Sect.

There are assassins! Come with me quickly!

Yes!

Seriously? This easy?

Are the Silver Rain Terrace's guards, so lax and easily deceived?

It's easy for me but not for you.

Why is that?

I have my henchmen among the guards. Fu has arranged everything for me.

So it's an inside job. I thought it was a more complicated plan.

What's so great about it? I could do it as well.

What's wrong?

There are so many members of the Gold Water Sect.

How did they know we were here?

I told them about it.

Charge!

Oh, no. It's a trap! Withdraw!

Now that you're here, there's no need to leave anymore.

- Come! - Sir... Be careful.

Sir, be careful!

Let us go, or I'll kill her.

Don't hurt her.

Zhuo Lanjiang...

Just kidding. Having gone after you for so long,

how could I give up the chance to exterminate you, for the sake of a little swindler?

Kill her as you wish.

Are you even a human being?

You jerk!

If I really die, I won't let you go even as a ghost!

Why are you blinking? Who are you provoking?

You...

Stop threatening me. Get up!

I...

Little swindler, are you okay?

Pretty smart, and you cooperated well.

Don't worry, I'm here. Nothing will happen to you.

So this is what you really look like.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Sun Zhen, you're getting slower these days.

I came late.

It's him?

The spy from the Gold Water Sect.

You led me to the Ghost Market.

Young Master, something's happened. Someone is using your name to swindle in the Ghost Market.

That person has swindled people out of quite a lot of money.

Xiaosheng's words hit the mark.

I led you there?

Did I send a letter asking you to come?

I've always had Fu keeping an eye on you.

I just came out, and the Gold Water Sect immediately arrived.

Looks like you were watching pretty closely.

I don't want bloodshed today.

- Sun Zhen. - I'm here.

Take them all back to the Silver Rain Terrace.

After the Lantern Festival, question them further.

Yes.

Take them away.

Move.

Move.

What's the matter?

Were you struck by my brilliance and handsomeness?

I nearly lost my life just now. I'm still scared.

Nobody thinks you're handsome.

Rest assured. If I can't even protect my own people,

how can I still live in Heyang?

Who are you calling your own?

We should go help Yang Caiwei at the Lantern Festival.

Help Caiwei? Then I'm coming too.

Let's go.

Mr. Pan really kept his promise.

He really did organize the Lantern Festival.

With the help of the Silver Rain Terrace's Young Master,

what else can't he accomplish?

Mr. Gu, I noticed something unusual about you today.

You're quite well-informed.

What happened at the Relief Hall the other day, don't you know about it?

I've suspected it before.

Mr. Gu, as a grandmaster in your own right,

you're supposed to have an extraordinary demeanor.

But why are you acting like you did before?

Mr. Gu, you haven't shown up in a long time.

Don't tell me you're here tonight just to see the lanterns.

What do you think?

I think...

Your presence this time is definitely related to Pan Yue's case.

Want to bet on it?

Mr. Pan!

Mr. Pan! Hurry up and throw the colored ball!

Yes, Mr. Pan. Hurry up and throw it!

Hurry up and go grab the colored ball, it's an auspicious thing to do!

- Here we go! - The ceremony is about to start.

Why isn't Constable Liu here yet?

Young Lady.

- What's wrong with you? - I don't know what's going on either.

Whenever I get nervous, I get stomachache.

You're really...

- Take him to see a physician. - Yes, Young Lady.

Let's go.

Mr. Pan!

Throw it to me!

Throw it further!

This way!

Mr. Pan shall throw the colored ball!

Throw it to me!

Give me some good luck!

Today's good luck is all mine!

I got it! I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

Why isn't Constable Liu here yet?

I don't know. Is there something wrong?

Sir, what should we do next?

Light the lanterns with me.

Sure.

Step aside!

- Step aside! - What are you doing?

Who are you?

Shangguan Zhi? What does she want?

- I don't know. - Why is it her?

Pan Yue, do you really like me?

Who is this woman?

Who does she think she is to light the lanterns with you?

Shangguan Zhi, the rules of the Lantern Festival were set in advance.

The first prize has already been won. Stop making a fuss and go down quickly.

Sorry, Miss.

- Give me the first prize! - I... I won't!

You're overestimating yourself.

Then don't blame me for being impolite.

How dare you throw away the first prize given by Mr. Pan. Are you tired of living?

Look at her. I thought she had changed. A leopard can't change its spots.

Indeed. It seems like she was just pretending all this time. This is her true colors.

She's terrifying indeed.

I agree.

Shangguan Zhi, stop fooling around.

Ze, take her away.

Yes!

Let go of me. I can walk on my own.

Pan Yue, from now on, I won't bother you anymore.

You can't order me either.

I'm under the protection of Young Master Zhuo.

I'll hit whoever I want.

Even if I kill someone, what can you do to me?

I was wrong about you before.

Now that I see, you're nothing special.

Compared to Young Master Zhuo, you're far behind.

A dog bone.

Whoever wants to grab it can grab it. I'm not interested at all.

Sir...

I'm sorry to have you involved.

It's okay, Mr. Pan. Shangguan Zhi's aim from earlier wasn't good.

She didn't hit me.

As long as you're fine.

What are you looking at?

If you keep looking, I'll slap your faces.

Shangguan Zhi is too arrogant! She is scary.

Exactly.

It's time to pray.

It's begun.

It's begun.

Here we go.

Let's pray together. Let's hope for a bountiful harvest this year.

This dragon lantern looks really nice.

Yeah.

It looks really nice.

Are you Gu Shan?

Miss Shangguan! Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Let me check on you.

- I'm really okay. - That gave me a fright.

Sir.

He is not dead yet. He's just gotten a hard hit.

He may not come around in a while.

This person is as strong as an ox, the situation was urgent. I had to knock him out.

I caught him red-handed.

Ze, take him to see a nearby physician.

Take all the manpower and watch him closely.

Yes.

- Take him away. - Yes.

Are you worried about Gu Yong?

He has been obstructing our investigation before,

how could he just let us take him away like this?

I'm worried he might kill him to cover it up.

You acted so brave earlier, are you scared now?

I've never thought that brave people should be fearless.

Okay. Tonight, Miss Shangguan is the great hero, and the greatest contributor.

But there can't be a next time.

Got it.

Where was that girl earlier? I need to apologize to her.

I've already explained to her.

She said she could help the county ya men with the investigation.

Not only did she not mind, she was actually happy about it.

That's just because she respects you.

How could that be?

After all, compared to Young Master Zhuo, I'm far behind.

To accomplish the mission, I made it all up.

I made it all up.

Well... Doesn't Heyang look quite beautiful today, Miss Shangguan?

We haven't had a chance to explore yet. How about we go have a walk now?

- Sure. - Let's go, Miss Shangguan.

Okay.

Sir, why don't you join us?

Join us?

Sure.

Let's go.

It's really nice!

Let's see over here.

It's nice!

- There are more over there. - Look over there.

How beautiful.

Let's check out that side. There are more over there.

Let's go!

[The Capital's Famous Fruits]

I didn't feel this way earlier.

After catching Gu Shan, I found that Heyang is indeed beautiful.

Heyang hasn't been this lively in a long time.

We have to thank Mr. Pan for this.

Let's not forget Young Master Zhuo too.

You two usually seem quite imposing.

But when you meet each other, both of you act differently.

- No way! - No way!

I have the answer to this question.

There can't be two tigers on one mountain. We have two tigers here.

Make way!

Be careful. You're acting like a kid.

It's okay. Thanks.

You guys go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I'll go find Ze.

Why is he leaving again?

I guess it's because of a black tiger.

The other tiger is leaving too.

Are you leaving too?

Tonight, I'm going to express my feelings to my beloved one.

You have a beloved, and you didn't tell me about this?

Who is she?

It's because you usually would only focus on the investigation, and care about me no more.

I will hang the lantern in the middle of the bridge.

When the time comes, remember to come and show me some support.

- I'll go hang the lantern now. - Go ahead.
