I owe you my life.

Today,

I'll give it back to you.

Then we'll be even.

- No! - Mother!

- Xiruo! - Mother!

Mother!

Uncle Yang!

Senior!

Mother!

Senior, are you okay?

Jing,

your father and I

made a pact long ago.

If we had a boy and a girl,

they'd be a married couple.

I have no daughter.

- Father... - I cherish

my adopted daughter like my own.

Father.

- I'll take care of it. - Father.

Brother Yang,

don't worry.

Friends,

thanks for bringing about this marriage.

I can

die in peace now.

Father...

Uncle Yang.

Xiruo.

Tiexin.

Although it is

18 years late,

we're finally together.

Enough.

Enough.

Mother!

Mother!

- Uncle Yang! - Father!

Mother!

Your Royal Highness.

Everything is fated.

Let them be.

Come and get me.

- Your Highness. - What are you doing?

Your Highness, watch out!

Give me Taoist Qiu's antidote,

- or I'll kill him! - You dare?

You forced my parents to death,

why wouldn't I dare?

Stop.

I'll give it to you.

Here it is. Here it is.

I never thought you righteous school

would resort to threats.

And you're not above

using poison, are you?

Your Highness.

You are all renowned figures

in the martial world.

We're evenly matched today.

How about we set another date?

We can

have a proper contest then.

That would be best.

What do you propose?

Half a year later,

on Mid-Autumn Festival,

at Zuixian Restaurant, South Lake, Jiaxing,

we'll admire the moon

and test our skills.

Do you dare come?

Why wouldn't we?

Fine.

We Seven Immortals of Quanzhen

will surely be there.

On our Seven Freaks of Jiangnan's turf,

you should bring more people.

Or don't say we bullied you then.

Alright.

That's a deal.

Miss Mu,

how did your father live

these past years?

Over the past ten years,

my father took me all over.

We never stayed anywhere

for longer than half a month.

He said

we should find a man named Guo.

Mr. Ke,

your apprentice

has a noble heart.

But my apprentice...

Stop!

Get out.

Master,

please let me light incense

for my mother.

You, a traitorous prince of Jin,

bullying your master and betraying your ancestors,

how dare you

offer incense

to the loyal Yang couple.

I only want to offer incense to my mother.

You really think I won't kill you?

Jing, what are you doing?

(Bao Xiruo's Spirit Tablet)

Jing, let go.

Taoist Qiu,

please calm down.

He's done much wrong!

Even so,

he's Uncle Yang's only child.

Fine.

I won't kill him today.

This brat

still doesn't admit that his surname is Yang!

I've borne the name Wanyan for 18 years.

None of you have told me

Yang Tiexin is my father!

Now you say I'm Yang,

a Han Chinese.

Why should I believe you?

Why?

Jing,

is your hand alright?

This rascal!

He's not worth it.

Master,

he still has a conscience.

I believe

he can change.

Are you here to force me to be Yang too?

I hope you will,

but I won't force you.

Then what do you want?

To laugh at me?

Go ahead.

I, Wanyan...

No.

I, Yang...

I've lived 18 years,

not knowing who I am.

You don't need to struggle.

Our Yang family is loyal.

My foster father Yang Tiexin

was a real stand-up hero,

daring to love and hate.

You can't even endure this.

You don't have any of his blood.

You came here

just to humiliate me?

You did it.

Satisfied?

Why are you still here?

If you don't want my company,

just go back.

The snow will get heavier,

you'll catch a cold.

I came to see you for my parents.

They'd want you

to live well.

It's not your business.

Masters.

Your Uncle Yang's funeral

is done.

We've called you here

to discuss something with you.

What is it?

Your Uncle Yang's dying wish

was for you

to marry Miss Mu.

Do you remember?

Yes.

But I can't marry her.

It's the last wish of your father

and Uncle Yang.

Will you

go against it?

It’s not Jing's fault.

When we were in the desert,

we got a letter

from Zhongnan Mountain that Mr. Yang had a son,

so the betrothal

was void.

So,

Jing got engaged

in the desert.

Genghis Khan of Mongolia

appointed him as the Gold Knife Prince Consort.

You seek wealth and power,

forget your roots and show ingratitude,

no better than

Wanyan Kang!

I won't marry Princess Huazheng.

Why?

I see her as a sister,

a good friend,

not a wife.

Good boy,

you have your moral integrity

and ambition.

We don't have to

care about the Khan

or the princess.

Just follow Uncle Yang's last wish,

and marry Miss Mu.

I can't marry Miss Mu.

Jing,

tell us.

Is there someone else you love?

Who is it?

Jing, tell us.

Which girl is it?

Jing, tell us. Who is it?

It's Rong.

Rong?

Rong who?

It's Huang Rong.

The girl in white

at Prince Zhao's Mansion that day?

Exactly.

The girl who saved Mei Chaofeng?

Jing,

did you stop me from killing Mei Chaofeng

because of her?

I heard Mei called her junior sister

and her father master.

Isn't she Old Heretic Huang's daughter?

That's right.

You want to marry Old Heretic Huang's daughter?

I've never met her father.

I don't know who he is.

So, you made a private vow?

No, we didn't.

But I know my heart belongs to Rong

and hers to me.

We both know it.

Jing,

her father

is a cold-blooded

killer.

If he finds out

you're with his daughter secretly,

you'll die!

Mei Chaofeng has only a fraction of his skill,

and she's formidable.

If he wants to kill you,

who can save you?

Rong is nice.

Her father can't be so bad.

Nonsense!

Old Heretic Huang is pure evil.

He is bad.

You must swear

never

to see

that demoness again.

Swear it!

Never see her again！

Jing.

Sweat it.

- Jing. - Say it.

Jing.

Be quick.

You truly treat me well.

No matter if I'm a man or a woman,

ugly or beautiful,

you'll always treat me well.

Of course.

Master.

I can't do it.

What?

Out in the world,

dare you defy your masters?

Big brother.

Big brother, calm down.

Jing, stop angering your master.

- Say it! - Jing.

Good boy. Listen to your master.

Don't upset your masters.

Jing.

Swear it!

Who?

Why do you force him like this?

Shame on you.

Jing,

come out.

Rong.

- Jing... - Jing!

Rong,

thay are my masters.

I heard them forcing you,

and got angry.

You demoness!

Master,

Rong is not a demoness.

If I say she is, then she is.

That's because you're blind.

You can't tell who's good

- and who's the demoness. - You...

You demoness!

Am I right?

You're so old.

Can't you think of something new?

And you,

nonsense show-off scholar,

why did you insult my father

saying he's a cold-blooded killer?

I don't argue with a girl.

Don't be rude.

They're my masters.

Fine, I will stop.

Jing, come here.

I have a secret to tell you.

Don't go!

Jing,

come here.

Don't you go!

Jing.

- Jing. - Jing.

Jing!

Jing, come here.

Rong!

Jing! Jing!

Rong,

where are we going?

Get out of here

and go far away!

My masters will be angry.

Aren't you afraid I'll be angry?

Jing,

your masters wanted you

to marry Miss Mu

or the Mongolian princess.

Why did you refuse?

Aren't they good enough?

They're good.

But I can't marry them.

Why?

Miss Mu

is a beautiful

girl.

Even if you don't marry her,

you can also be a Gold Knife Prince Consort,

with riches and glory.

Rong,

just now,

I meant what I said

to my masters.

- I only want... - Want what?

♪Or lost in the dust♪

I only want to be with you.

I will never like anyone else.

Me too.

Rong.

I'll take your hand

and tell my masters

and Taoist Ma

that Rong is not a demoness.

She is...

She is a good,

good girl.

Just good?

Anything else?

Just good.

Rong,

no one's better than you.

But your masters hate me.

That won't help.

Don't go back.

Let's live in the mountains,

on an island,

where they can't find us.

We can live there forever.

But we've done nothing wrong.

Why do we need to hide?

They'll tear us apart.

If we go back,

we won't see each other anymore.

No, Rong.

I'd rather die

than be apart from you.

Good.

We'll never be apart.

With your words,

I won't be afraid

of your masters.

So,

Rong,

let's go find my masters.

Then I'll go talk to Miss Mu

then go to the desert to break off the engagement.

Great.

I'll follow your lead.

Masters!

Masters!

My masters must be angry with me

and left.

Jing,

don't worry.

Remember?

Your masters had a date with Wanyan Honglie.

They'll meet at the Zuixian Restaurant in Jiaxing half a year later.

We can go there to meet them.

We'll say something nice,

and they won't be mad.

I guess that's all we can do.

(18 years ago)

(Ge Hill by the West Lake)

(is a sacred place of Taoism where Ge Hong practiced alchemy)

(during the Jin Dynasty.)

(18 years ago,)

(I was sent here by my senior Ma Yu)

(to study Taoist scriptures)

(and cultivate my character)

(because of my heavy hostility.)

(But then, I heard tragic news.)

Master, something went wrong.

Guo Xiaotian

and Yang Tiexin

kindly invited me for a drink,

but

they died because of me.

Where is that bloody official?

(Fahua Temple)

I pursued them relentlessly

and finally learned

that the villain Duan Tiande

had hidden Li,

Guo's pregnant wife

in Fahua Temple.

Stop!

Taoist Qiu,

even if you want to make a name in Jiangnan,

you can't disturb the peace of a Buddhist temple.

Shame on the place of peace!

Can the monks hide

the widow of my good friend

in your temple?

You're slandering us

(Reverend Jiaomu) and defaming our temple's reputation!

Do you dare let me

search your temple?

If you don't release her today,

I'll burn

this Fahua Temple down.

Taoist, you rely on your martial arts prowess,

pursue fame and wealth,

and align with the Jin.

Now you chase our Song generals to here.

How can our Fahua Temple

tolerate you

using loyal lives

to curry favor

with the Jin?

Qiu Chuji.

We Seven Freaks of Jiangnan

won't let you have your way here!

(Only later did I learn)

(that Duan Tiande had falsely accused me)

(to Reverend Jiaomu)

(and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.)

(So we had a misunderstanding.)

(Both I and the seven heroes)

(were badly injured in the end.)

Let me go!

Go!

Why is there a woman's voice?

Go!

Go!

Taoist Qiu!

I'm Guo Xiaotian's wife.

Please save me!

Be quiet!

Think about your unborn child!

It really is a woman.

A woman

is hidden in the Fahua Temple.

Oh, no.

Now, we Seven Freaks of Jiangnan

will be known as the Seven Demons of Jiangnan.

Being called seven fools

in the martial world

wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Jiaomu!

You misjudged people.

You almost got us killed!

Darn it.

You wretched Taoist!

Good for you.

I can't mess with you.

I'll just avoid you.

So, I'll take my leave.

Go!

Reverend,

you really don't have to do this.

Listen to me.

Let me go!

Mr. Duan,

don't do this!

Reverend,

if you don't stop,

I'll have no choice but to kill you.

You'll feel pain

when I stab you.

Go away.

Go!

Go! Go!

Go!

Go!

Aren't you afraid of retribution

for all your sins?

Go!

Taoist!

(Zuixian Restaurant) Taoist Qiu, we are

truly sorry for today.

It was my carelessness that allowed

that scoundrel

to take advantage.

So, what should we do now?

Let's settle it.

Today's event

is a disgrace

to both sides.

If we don't rescue

the widows of the Guo and the Yang,

how can we face

the martial world?

Well said.

So what do you suggest?

Now that Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Yang

were taken by them.

Let's split up

to rescue them.

We met Li,

Mrs. Guo today.

I won't forget

Mrs. Guo's voice.

So,

we'll go find Mrs. Guo.

Good.

Then I'll go find Mrs. Yang.

Shall we compete to see

who rescues first?

Let's save them first.

After Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Yang

give birth,

we will

teach the babies all we know.

18 years later,

we'll bring the children of Guo and Yang

back to Zuixian Restaurant

for a duel. Okay?

Okay.

We accept it.

Heroes, we will

take off soon.

(18 years later)

Today, let's

settle the duel

from 18 years ago today.

Luckily,

I can have my two seniors

as witnesses.

What do you say?

I agree.

If not

for your righteous help,

my senior brothers and I

would not have survived.

Your apprentice, Guo Jing,

he

excels in martial arts,

and also possesses a noble spirit.

What a man of integrity!

Exactly.

Thanks to Jing for finding the antidote for me.

As for my evil apprentice Yang Kang,

he is morally corrupt,

and greedy for fame and fortune.

He's nowhere near

as good as Guo Jing.

Now, I concede defeat

in the duel we promised 18 years ago

at the Zuixian Restaurant.

Taoist, that's very nice of you.

We haven't done much better

at teaching our apprentice.

Guo Jing, that rascal,

he dared...

He dared to defy his masters

for that demoness from Peach Blossom Island

and eloped with her.

Big brother,

why do you still

hold a grudge over this?

Hero Ke,

don't worry.

Jing is an honest and loyal man.

If he's too obedient

to masters and seniors,

he won't have any independent opinions.

Now,

he has his own choice.

Perhaps it's a good thing.

Big brother,

I think Taoist Ma is correct.

We've been

a bit hard on Jing.

Everyone.

As far as I can tell,

Huang Rong truly cares

for Jing.

That girl

really likes Jing.

And Jing will never

like any other girls

besides her.

Congratulations to you all.

Your apprentice

finally will finish his apprenticeship.

Since that's the case,

I will

let him be this time.

There you go.

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

We've finally found you.

Please go back with us.

- His Royal Highness is worried about you. - Yes, Your Highness.

I'm not a prince. Stay back.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

Get lost!

- Yes. - Your Highness.

Fragrant bags! Pendants!

Umbrellas!

Do you like it?

I've never had it before.

But it tastes good.

Father said

Mother used to cook the noodles

for him.

For these 18 years,

Mother longed for such a life.

I don't understand.

If it were you,

would you choose to be a princess

or go back to the Niujia Village?

I'll go back to the Niujia Village.

And I won't come to

Zhongdu anymore.

This is my father's iron spear.

I'll give it to you as a keepsake.

(Yang Tiexin)

How did you find me?

Anyway,

I can find you if I want to.

Will you marry Guo Jing?

I won't.

But Father betrothed you

to Guo Jing before he died.

He won't marry me.

And I won't marry him.

Why?

He loves someone else.

Besides,

Father had betrothed me

to someone else before.

To that

dandyish prince of Jin?

Not this wretch bullying his master,

betraying his ancestors,

and not even knowing

his family name!

I don't know any prince of Jin.

I only know Yang Kang, a man

with a tragic past and a deep-seated vendetta.

Father had betrothed me

to him.

I don't have parents.

Don't abandon me.

No.

I can't do this.

Though I'm a poor girl

wandering in the martial world,

I'm not

a hussy

who lacks self-respect.

If you truly love me,

you should respect me

and cherish me.

Then I won't love anyone else.

Even if threatened with death,

I'll stay with you.

If one day,

we can have a wedding night,

I will... I will do as you wish now.

But today, if you want to dishonor me,

I'd rather die.

♪You are deeply rooted in my heart♪

Sister Mu.

Don't be angry.

It was my fault.

I'll be waiting for you at my foster father's home

at the Niujia Village, Lin'an.

Please come to find me

with a proper matchmaker.

After I take care of these matters,

I'll go to marry you.

I won't betray you

in this life.

♪I won't give myself time to regret♪

Rong,

why did you buy so many things?

I grew up on the Peach Blossom Island.

I rarely see these things.

Now I'm finally come out of home

with your company,

I should have fun.

From now on, I'll buy you

whatever you like.

Good.

But you must also

join me to have fun.

Of course.

Jing, have you played Cuju?

That's Gao Qiu's game. [*Gao Qiu: a well-known villain]

My ancestor is Guo Sheng, a hero of Liangshan.

So I won't play that.

Gao Qiu is evil, but is Cuju?

I want you to play with me.

Sir.

Are you alright?

Leave me alone.

(Hong Qi, Northern Beggar)

Kids, what are you playing?

Cuju?

It's disturbing my nap.

Go play elsewhere.

Did you plant this tree?

Why can you sleep here,

but we can't play Cuju?

So stroppy.

Rong, it's our fault.

Let's go.

How about this.

Let's play Cuju.

Who wins

gets the tree.

Okay.

So,

how do we decide the winner?

Stick your pole in the ground.

Who hits it wins.

Deal.

Jing, you go first.

Sir, you go first.

You go first!

What did you say?

You go first!
