[Sword and Fairy]

[Episode 5]

[Lin Fortress]

Please, go ahead.

[Lin Fortress]

Mr. Li, if I'm not mistaken, you just
used the Shushan Swordsmanship.

That means you must be a disciple
of Mr. Dugu, Saint of Sword.

Interestingly, he and I decided to
be brothers more than a decade ago.

By that logic, you should be my nephew.

I have never heard of him,
nor do I know who he is.

Where did you learn your swordsmanship?

From a drunk Taoist who knows only to drink.

Mr. Lin, any more questions? Please
hurry up. We'll be leaving once you're done.

That must be Mr. Dugu's junior,
the Drunken Sword Immortal.

Since you have learned the Shushan
Swordsmanship, we're practically family.

In the future, if you also learn the Lin
Swordsmanship and our finger techniques,

you could become an unmatched expert.

Mr. Lin, no need for kinship formalities.
Let's speak plainly.

Alright.

My family has been having
only one child for three generations, and Yueru is my only daughter.

I hope you would consider
joining the Lin family.

I told you it was a misunderstanding.

Your daughter was the one
challenging me to a duel.

This seems like a set-up.

The Lin family is a renowned
household in the Jiangnan region.

Though not rich enough to rival a country,
we are considered local magnates.

My daughter may not be gorgeous,
but she certainly is lovely.

Many wealthy young men
wish to marry her but can't.

Why would you refuse this marriage?

Can't you see it's a misunderstanding?

Does it have anything to
do with this young lady?

I plan to take Ling'er to Nanzhao.

Do you two have a marriage arrangement?
Have her parents consented?

Not yet. But...

As they say, marriages are decided
by parents and matchmakers.

Without their arrangement
or betrothal presents,

this means you and this
young lady have no ties.

Why haven't you left yet?

I don't want to see you.

This is pretty too. Hard to choose.

My Lady, please don't waste
time on meaningless matters.

Don't think buying this
will make me forgive you.

Then I'll return it.

Once I return to the Witch Moon Sect,
I'll still kick you out.

By then, I'll leave on my own.

I can marry her. But I have conditions.

- Name it.
- First, I'm an orphan.

I have no house, no money, no savings.

I can't afford betrothal presents,
though I doubt that you need them.

Second, since I'm marrying into your
family, you should give me betrothal presents.

The Lin Fortress seems fine to me.

Xiaoyao...

- Is that all?
- There's more.

Third, your daughter is too willful and unruly.

To compensate for the mental
anguish of living with her,

it's only right if I take four to nine concubines, right?

If not, then it's impossible.

After all, this is my first marriage.
I can't lower my standards.

As you wish.

Mr. Lin, please reconsider.
These terms seem too harsh.

A gentleman's word is his bond.

I, Lin Tiannan, never jest.

Jinyuan,

what do you think?

I...

Uncle.

Mr. Li.

Since the duel has been settled,

though Mr. Li may look ordinary,

his intelligence and martial skills
are exceptional.

Joining the Lin Fortress and becoming the heir
to the Martial Leader of the South

couldn't be more fitting.

- Mr. Liu, you...
- Mr. Li,

as close friends, I wouldn't deceive you.

Congratulations, Mr. Li.

Scholar, what do you mean?

It's decided then.

Having Mr. Li as a husband
is indeed my daughter's fortune.

Good. Mr. Li, please sit.

Mr. Lin, marriages are
about formalities and rituals.

I came in a hurry without preparing anything.

Joining the Lin family like
this seems rather hasty.

Mr. Li, didn't you just say
you had no betrothal presents?

I was joking. We still need to prepare.

Alright, what do you need?
We have everything here.

That won't do.

Even if I'm marrying in your family,
a dowry is still needed, right?

- Otherwise, it's bad luck.
- Bad luck.

I'd rather buy some things I like myself.

Then remember, make the travel quick.

I'll be here, waiting for you to dine.

Alright.

Come, take a look!
Fragrance pouches, fragrance bags!

Fragrance pouches, fragrance bags!

Buns! Steaming hot buns!

Xiaoyao, you...

Everyone, take a look! Oil-paper umbrellas!

I... I mean...

I could go to Nanzhao on my own.

You don't have to accompany me.

It's no trouble.

How can this be?
We agreed I'd take you to Nanzhao.

Ling'er, you don't really think
I'd marry that shrew, do you?

Aren't we out buying your dowry?

Silly girl.
Why would a man like me buy a dowry?

Mr. Liu secretly told me just now

that Mr. Lin is currently preoccupied
with important matters.

Moreover, he's a formidable martial artist,
so I had to resort to this trick,

slipping away unnoticed.

Really?

Am I crazy? I'd marry her? She wishes.

Ling'er, I will absolutely not leave you.

I will not let you be alone.

Good thing they didn't follow us.

Mr. Li!

Mr. Li!

Mr. Lin, why are you here suddenly?

Aren't you going to buy a dowry?

I was worried you didn't have enough money,
so I came to bring you some.

This could have been done by a servant.

Why trouble yourself?

The disciples of the Lin Fortress

- have more important matters to attend to.
- Come take a look!

I had to come myself.

Watch carefully.

Yes, Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin, this is...

Suzhou City is plagued by snakes.

I must fulfill my responsibility
to protect the people.

Mr. Li,

why are you at the city gate?

I came to get money for the dowry from you.
I forgot money just now, right?

I see.

Then, I'll take my leave first.

Xiaoyao, what do we do?

Since Mr. Lin is so generous,
let's have fun in Suzhou City then.

I'll just refuse him. I don't believe he
can force me to marry that barbaric girl.

Let's go.

[Lin Fortress]

Cousin, are you seeking a duel to the death?

Of course.

That rat made me a laughingstock
in front of everyone in Suzhou City.

Today, it's either him or me.

Luckily, Li fled the marriage.
Otherwise, it'd be another huge fight.

What? Fled the marriage?

Thankfully, Mr. Li escaped quickly,
solving this urgent problem.

That rat dared to flee! I'll break his legs!

Cousin, didn't you not want to marry him?

Of course, I don't want to marry him.

But his actions have disgraced me once again.

No, I must seek revenge.

Cousin!

A girl's hands as tender as kindling
will surely bring wealth.

You two will definitely make a fortune.
[Fortune Telling Through Palmistry]

You two.

- Quite amusing.
- You two.

- Let's go.
- Stop right there.

Are you calling us?

Young master, young lady, please wait.

I'm the Iron-Mouthed Fortune Teller. If
I'm not right, you'll get your money back.

You two, would you like a fortune told?

If you're not right, we'll get our money back?

Alright. Tell me about my recent luck.

Young master, your aura is glowing
red, and you have a peach blossom aura.

You're on a streak of romantic luck.

Then tell me about my romantic luck.

Young master, women are like water,
which can carry a boat or overturn it.

You must be cautious.

Remember, remember.

Water can carry or overturn a boat?

Young lady, I see your aura shining brightly,

with an overwhelming spiritual presence,
rare in this world.

You'll be an empress in court,
or a heroine outside the court.

However, the aura around your
brows hints at impending trouble.

Trouble?

Nothing but nonsense. Ling'er, let's go.

Just ten taels, and I can
solve all your problems.

- I knew you were a scam.
- Look.

If not ten, five taels will do.

Young master, since your wife is
so beautiful, buy her some jewelry.

Ling'er, see anything you like?

Look at this hairpin, it's selling well.

Look.

Ling'er, this silver
hairpin suits you, let me...

Miss Lin.

I'll take it.

I misjudged that fortune teller.
There really was trouble.

You rat! Dare to fight me again?

I'll show you my strength.

You're always looking for a fight.
Don't you have anything else to do?

Kidnapping a young girl in broad daylight,
you're utterly despicable.

Miss Lin, listen to me.

- Xiaoyao and I...
- Stop, stop, stop.

Miss, this has nothing to do with you.

It's a personal vendetta
between him and me.

- You should stay away to avoid getting hurt.
- You barbaric girl.

It's not your place to interfere
in our matters.

How is it not my place?

You're about to join the Lin Fortress.
I obviously have a say.

If your father hadn't guarded the city gate,
I'd have run away already.

Just fight me, or you can
forget about running away.

What are you doing?

Miss Lin, by stopping me like this,

are you so eager to marry me?

Well, let me tell you now.

I already have someone I like,
and I have no plans to take concubines.

You shameless rat!
How dare you humiliate me in public!

It was you who came to me insisting
on stopping me from running away.

If you don't want to marry me,
what else could it be?

- I...
- Ling'er, let's go.

You're not allowed to leave!

We should try to avoid conflicts
with Miss Lin in the future.

Explaining clearly will solve everything.

Haven't I explained clearly enough?
It's always her picking fights with me.

Then we'll just leave quickly.

Why are you following us?

Who's following you?
Is this road owned by your family?

- I'll walk here if I want to.
- Fine, follow if you want.

- Let's go.
- He's here with another woman

in front of the top shrew
with the worst temper in Suzhou City.

Would you two like something to eat?

A pot of good tea, and some of
Suzhou's most famous pastries.

Alright. Please wait.

Xiaoyao, Miss Lin just wants
a way to maintain her dignity.

Why not offer her a chance
to step down gracefully?

Let me think about it.

Miss Lin is here.

Miss Lin, this table is already taken.

How about I find you a more private spot?

I want to sit here.

Yes, yes.

Miss Lin, don't be angry.

Xiaoyao didn't mean to target you specifically.

If there was any offense,
I apologize on his behalf.

- Ling'er, you...
- Stop, stop, stop.

Miss, as I said before,
this matter doesn't concern you.

You don't need to apologize for him.

However, I must warn you.

You're better off staying away from him.

- But Miss Lin...
- Ling'er, ignore her.

This isn't her family's restaurant.
We'll just eat our meal.

Sorry. This restaurant is
indeed owned by the Lin Fortress.

This is also one
of the Lin family's properties?

Of course.

Doesn't that make it mine as well?

What are you daydreaming about?
How could it possibly be yours?

Think about it.

Everyone in Suzhou City knows that I, Li
Xiaoyao, am the son-in-law of your father.

Yours is mine, isn't it?

Li, how can you be so shameless?

I'm just stating the facts.

After all, it was your family
who forced the marriage first.

I was merely forced to accept
your family's properties and...

you.

Are you asking for a beating again?

To fight a tomboy, I'm not interested.

What?

Xiaoyao...

You scoundrel! Dare to call me a tomboy?

Look at yourself. What kind of lady
wears armor, steps on a stool, and grabs a man's clothes?

Yeah. Who would dare to provoke Miss Lin?

Exactly.

Let go already. You might not care
about your reputation, but Mr. Lin does.

Everyone's watching.

What are you all looking at?

You just wait.

- The money is left here.
- Alright, alright.

Let's go.

Finally left.

Make way!

Let's go.

Ling'er, let's go eat somewhere else.

Sir, your noodles.

Thank you, sir. Enjoy your meal.

It smells so good, Ling'er, eat up.

Ling'er, why aren't you eating?

I...

Ling'er, what's wrong?

You look a bit pale.

I... I'm fine.

Seems a bit feverish.

Let's go, I'll take you to see a physician.

Xiaoyao, no need. I'm really fine.

Maybe I'm just a bit tired.

Then let's find an inn to rest first.

Let's go.

Young master, Mr. Lin has prepared everything,
and asked us to invite you both back.

This father and daughter really are persistent.

[Ding Tailor Shop]

Cousin.

Cousin, you're finally back.

It seems Mr. Li has successfully escaped.

Congratulations.

You're still here congratulating me.

It's all your fault, daring to
conspire with outsiders against me.

And you dared to participate
in the combat for marriage.

- What were you thinking?
- Cousin, forgive me, forgive me.

- I only wished you...
- Enough.

Now, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.

But it depends on your performance. If you
don't do well, you'll no longer be my cousin.

Please tell me. I'm willing to go through all the trouble for you, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords

- or diving into a sea of flames.
- Stop, stop, stop.

Enough with your bluster.

With your frail physique, you think
you can climb a mountain of swords?

Just come up with some strategies for me.

Alright.

What troubles you, Cousin?

That rat Li Xiaoyao, in front of all the citizens of Suzhou, humiliated me during the combat for marriage.

It's infuriating.

- So, you want to regain your honor?
- Right, it must be regained.

Instead of letting Mr. Li escape the marriage, we should take the initiative, and break off the engagement.

- Break off the engagement?
- Cousin, think about it.

If Mr. Li receives your divorce letter,
it would be a great humiliation for him.

Slow down.

Here.

Ling'er, are you alright?

Xiaoyao, don't worry. I'm fine.

You're really fine?

Xiaoyao, these past few days,

I have been feeling afraid.

Afraid of what?

Xiaoyao, are you afraid of snake demons?

Snake demons?

Ling'er, why would you suddenly ask that?

I aim to be a hero,
and heroes are meant to vanquish demons.

Why would I be afraid?

But what if I were a snake demon?

Ling'er, what are you talking about?

You're so gentle, lovely, and beautiful.
How could you be a snake demon?

Ling'er, you must be really tired.

Rest early, and stop worrying
about nonsensical things.

Mr. Li, Miss Lin invites you
to the back garden for a chat.

I'm not going. She's definitely
up to no good looking for me.

Xiaoyao, do you remember what I said?

Better to resolve enmity than to let it fester.

Maybe if you meet Miss Lin,
you could turn hostility into friendship.

Perhaps we could leave Suzhou City sooner.

Alright. I'll listen to you.

Then I'll go see Miss Lin.

Mr. Li, Miss Lin is waiting for you
in the pavilion.

Li Xiaoyao, do you think
I look good in this outfit?

It's rare for me to wear it.

You...

Under the moonlight, do I
seem especially beautiful?

Are you traumatized?

Li Xiaoyao.

What do you want? Speak frankly.

I know you have been stunned
by the top beauty in Suzhou City.

More like a big shock.

Stop saying against your heart.

Your eyes have already told me

you have fallen in love with me.

- Li...
- My eyes tell you that you seem to have gone mad.

Although the combat for marriage has been
held five times, no one has ever defeated me.

The reason isn't that my
martial skills are superior,

but because I have never
met the man of my dreams.

But you're different.

What do you mean?

These past few days, I have been
chasing you not because I want to bully you,

but because I suddenly realized...

I might... like you.

Miss Lin, your lying skills need more practice.

Are you trying to make me fall for you
just to dump me later?

Well, it's indeed a strategy.

But there's a fatal flaw.

What flaw?

I have someone else in my heart.

She is gentle and kind.

Such qualities are innate, and
pretense can only lead to failure.

Li Xiaoyao, you jerk!

Miss Lin, this is more like you.

But why such a grand gesture?

Alright, alright. I'll be the bigger
person, and forgive your previous actions.

Don't cry, okay?

Ling'er, why are you here?

Miss Lin, did Xiaoyao bully you?

I didn't bully her.
She just fell accidentally by herself.

Miss Lin, if Xiaoyao did bully
you, I'll make him apologize.

I don't need anyone's pity.

I really didn't do anything.

Alright, alright, stop crying.

Well...

It's my fault. I spoke out of turn.

You're the bigger person
and will forgive me, okay?

I don't care for your apology.

Miss Lin, sometimes Xiaoyao's words
can be quite harsh, but he means no harm.

Please don't take it to heart.

Ling'er, why are you siding with her now?

Xiaoyao...

Miss Zhao, you're so kind and good-looking.

How can you be with this rat?
He's not worthy of you.

You're just looking for trouble.

Why do you two start arguing
every time you meet?

My grandma always said meeting in this life means we have cultivated ties over several lifetimes.

Moreover, we have such deep connections.

I have known her for several lifetimes?
Please, spare me.

Knowing you is three lifetimes' misfortune.

- You...
- Alright, alright.

Since we're fated to
meet, let's be good friends.

Miss Lin, I have never really had
any friends from childhood till now.

Xiaoyao... He...

He is one, and I hope you can be another.

Ling'er, you're such a good person.
I'd also like to be friends with you.

From now on, just call me Yueru.

Let's go. I'll take you somewhere fun.

- You'll definitely like it.
- Okay.

Cousin.

Cousin, come with us.

I need to change out of these clothes.
They're so uncomfortable.

The little show that barbaric girl put
on just now was taught by you, right?

Mr. Liu, you may look refined,
but you're full of sly ideas.

Not at all, not at all.

She misunderstood my intentions.

Indeed, the idea was cunning,
but she used it on the wrong person.

Such a pity.

Miss Zhao, Mr. Li, this is the largest
tavern with music in Suzhou City.

You boys enjoy yourselves. Let's go, Ling'er.

Okay.

- Good.
- Impressive.

How about it? This place isn't bad, right?
If you like it, I'll bring you here often.

Since we're fated to
meet, here's a toast to you.

You have never drunk alcohol?

Everyone in the world always says
women shouldn't drink,

but who decided that alcohol is only for men?

If they say we can't drink, we'll drink
just to spite them. To you, I'll drink first.

Take it slow.

That's more like it. Tonight,
we won't return until we're drunk.

Here.

- Mr. Li, Mr. Li!
- Good!

- Have you played this before?
- No.

This is called chess flipping.
It's very popular in Suzhou City now.

Look, if your piece hits the opponent's
piece after passing through the gate, you win.

You're not good at this.
Stop blaming the equipment.

- Any more challengers?
- Here, here!

- Me!
- Go ahead, it's on me if you lose.

- Come on, come on, set up the pieces.
- Let's go.

What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?

The Yueru in front of me
doesn't seem fierce at all.

But that girl outside the city

did scare people a bit.

I was just mad that day.

I only wanted to scare her a bit.

Why scare her?

It's because of that jerk Changgui.

He was already married and had children,
yet he deceived Yinhua into eloping with him.

It's also our fault for acting
without asking clearly.

No fight, no acquaintance, right? Come on.

Mr. Li, not bad, Mr. Li!
Good, let's play again.

Did Xiaoyao win?

Oh, it can be played this way.

I just wanted to show those Central
Plains folks what real chess flipping is.

Let's go.

You're going too? Great, let's go together.

To find the Spiritual Beads.

Can't you just say everything at once?

I did. Let's go.

I haven't eaten enough yet.

My Lady, please don't
force me to take action.

Well done!

Who's making all that noise,
bothering my ears?

If you don't like the noise, don't come here.
What are you shouting about?

- Who are you?
- I...

Yueru, let's continue drinking.

I don't want to deal with you.

If you're capable,
come out and let's argue face to face.

Have you heard?

The other night, a snake demon went to Li
He Village on the western side of Suzhou City.

Not only did it steal a lot of wealth,

but it also took away the granddaughter
of Zhang, who sells pears.

Poor Zhang, already in his seventies,
probably won't survive this.

Last month, Mr. Lin took a dozen
strong men to exorcise the demon,

but they didn't even see its shadow,
and lost seven or eight lives.

How can humans beat demons?

This time, I reckon Mr. Lin is powerless too.

Mr. Li, I have a favor to ask.

Want to get rid of the snake demon, right?

But for this, you'll need to lead.

Only then can we
kill three birds with one stone.

- Kill three birds with one stone?
- Follow me.

Impressive, impressive!

Mr. Li, tell me. What does that mean?

First, to relieve the people of Suzhou City
from the snake menace.

Second, to show Mr. Lin that even
though you're not skilled in martial arts,

your strategies are superior.

- Third...
- Third,

it can solve the urgent issue
of your forced marriage.

What are you guys talking about?

- Cousin, why have you drunk so much?
- Ling'er, you have been drinking too?

- Not much.
- It's okay.

Take it easy, easy.

- Be careful.
- Don't drink with such people.

You might pick up bad habits.

Women drinking shouldn't concern men.

Look, have some snacks.

Ling'er, you're so gentle and pretty.

Why are you with this rat every day?

- Who are you calling a rat?
- You!

- You're the barbarian!
- You're the barbarian!

Because Xiaoyao is taking me back to Nanzhao.

Nanzhao?

Now I'm not just envious of you both.
I'm jealous.

I also want to travel the world
with a sword in my hands.

Li Xiaoyao, you go back to Yuhang.
I'll take Ling'er back to Nanzhao.

- Why should you? What right do you have?
- My martial skills are better than yours.

Yet you always lose to me.

Seems like you talk bigger than me.

Miss Zhao, why do you want to go to Nanzhao?

Because I'm from Nanzhao. I was
separated from my mother since I was young.

Later, I came to the Central Plains
with my grandma and encountered a disaster.

Fortunately, I met Xiaoyao,

or I would have been kidnapped by villains.

Ling'er, I have also been without
a mother since I was young.

I have had no sisters.
From now on, you're my sister.

Okay.

Ling'er, let's go.
I'll take you somewhere nice.

- Where to?
- You'll know when we get there.

Let's go.

We're going with you. Let's go.

Ling'er, look!

I, Lin Yueru, aim to be a well-known
formidable heroine in the martial world!

I, Li Xiaoyao, aspire to be
a hero admired by everyone!

You? Dream on.

- You...
- Ling'er, it's your turn.

I...

I hope everyone

lives happily and safely!

May there be good weather for the crops,

and peace and prosperity for the country!

May my cousin achieve her wish soon.

Go away.

I want to try too. I want to try!

I want to travel through famous mountains
and rivers, and taste all the delicacies.

And I want to find
the Spiritual Beads on the way.

Your turn, your turn.

I just want to complete my task
as soon as possible.

Boring.

So beautiful!
