Brother Guo,

let's find a place to rest and eat.

I feel so sad last night.

I had no appetite this morning.

But now that you're here with me,

I feel hungry.

Okay.

Are you Mr. Guo and Mr. Yang?

Yes.

The food is ready.

My inn is one of the best

in Liyang City.

You'll be satisfied.

How do you know us?

Someone told us this morning.

Described your appearance

and estimated your arrival time.

They ordered us to prepare

top-quality dishes and wine.

Come. Lead their horses.

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go.

The dishes are here. Please enjoy.

Brother Guo,

this must be Master Lu from Guiyun Manor.

He feels guilty

for neglecting me

and imprisoning me

which offended his senior sister.

Now he's generously

apologizing to me

to win her over.

Since that's the case,

Master Lu is indeed thoughtful.

Brother Guo,

I toast to you.

Let's dig in.

Jing, eat more.

Thank you, Rong.

Is it good?

You must eat the mushrooms too.

Shopkeeper, the bill.

Sir, the bill is already settled.

I have lived in luxury

for years. I don't fancy his meal.

This is ridiculous.

I refuse to give the Lu

a chance to apologize.

Sir, you can't pay twice.

Keep it.

If the Lu comes,

give the money back to them.

Alright, I'll return the money

when he comes.

For now,

I'll keep it for you.

I'll fetch your horses.

Brother Guo,

don't be fooled by

Master Lu's generosity.

I can see through him.

He's not a good person.

He only uses

these petty favors

to win over heroes of the martial world.

and become the leader of the Lake Tai Heroes.

Isn't he your master's junior?

Why don't you like him?

Because he kidnapped you?

No.

He kidnapped Wanyan Honglie's son,

not Yang Tiexin's son.

Now my surname is Yang.

So we don't have a prolem.

But

he doesn't deserve to be

my senior.

Mei Chaofeng is your master,

so he is indeed your senior.

Mei Chaofeng taught me martial arts,

but she's not truly my master.

She taught you martial arts,

so she's definitely your master.

But

why did you learn

her sinister skills

like Nine Yin Skeleton Claw?

I wanted to learn Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms

from Hong Qigong.

But I don't have your luck.

Although you don't know Hong Qigong,

your master is Qiu Chuji,

the True Man of Eternal Spring.

He is righteous,

and just.

He upholds justice,

and he's skilled.

He's also a Taoist master...

But Qiu Chuji doesn't like me.

I'm not as likeable

as you, Brother Guo.

Hong Qigong likes you.

Huang Yaoshi's daughter

likes you too.

Taoist Qiu is kind.

He must like you.

He had a prejudice against you

because he misunderstood you

as seeing a Jin as your father.

You just need to explain it to your master.

He will forgive you.

So what if he forgives me?

If I follow him,

I'd just be a Taoist priest.

Kang,

don't aim too high.

Quanzhen School's martial arts

are profound with a long history.

With dedicated practice,

you can become a great master.

(Just a month ago,)

(I rode south under orders,)

(surrounded by luxuries and guards,)

(full of prestige.)

(Now, heading north quietly,)

(riches and honors were but a fleeting dream.)

(And now,)

(I'm even worse off than Guo Jing,)

(laughed at by others.)

(Life is truly unpredictable.)

Let's speed up.

(23 years ago)

(Mount White Camel Manor)

(I heard that)

(the Manichaeism followers)

(set fire to the Mount White Camel Manor.)

(The Ouyang family wandered for years.)

(Finally,)

(my uncle rebuilt the manor.)

(But he returned the manor's leadership)

(to my deceased father,)

(with my mother managing temporarily.)

(In memoriam) (He didn't stay in the Mount White Camel)

(until the day my mother died.)

(The Main God of the Ouyang family)

Now,

Madam passed away too.

Our Mount White Camel Manor

can't be leaderless for a day.

- Right. - We should have a leader!

That's right.

The martial world is survival of the fittest.

We need a new master

to lead us to wealth.

Wealth! Yes, that's right!

Are you all bullying my Ouyang family

because we have no one left?

(Ouyang Feng, Western Venom)

(Many years later, I met my uncle again.)

(He's Ouyang Feng, Western Venom.)

(Young Ouyang Ke) (Everyone was afraid of him.)

(But I felt a close connection)

(when I saw him.)

Ke, don't be scared.

Uncle is back.

Second Master, when did you return?

Well...

The manor should still be led by you.

Yes, of course.

From today,

Ke is the master of the Mount White Camel.

Greetings, young master.

Is this my mother?

Yes.

I will never see

my mother again, will I?

Uncle,

please don't leave.

Uncle has many things to do.

Ke must learn martial arts diligently.

Uncle will come back

every year.

Okay?

(I could see)

(his deep feelings for my mother.)

(Everyone knows I'm his nephew.)

(Many years later,)

(I guessed I'm his son.)

(Perhaps I hoped I am.)

(Uncle traveled often.)

(Fearing no one would care for me,)

(he arranged many girls)

(in the manor)

(to look after me.)

(I want to find a woman who looks like my mother.)

(But some of them have similar side profiles,)

(some have similar backs,)

(some have similar lips,)

(and some have similar scents.)

(So I let them all stay)

(to piece together)

(my mother's complete image.)

Why are you leaving?

Master!

I've taken care of you

since you were a kid.

I beg you.

Please let us go.

Now that he's dead,

do you still want to go?

You're pathetic.

You know nothing!

Know what?

(She looked most like my mother.)

(But she left with a scholar.)

(Later I realized,)

(I don't need to capture one's heart,)

(just her presence.)

Young master.

You vile scoundrel,

release my acupoints!

I'll be honest with you.

Yang Kang and I

are already married privately.

Why do you, a young master,

need someone else's wife?

I don't care.

I'll be honest too.

I just like your neck

and chin.

Come back to Mount White Camel with me.

I will provide for you endlessly

and make sure you live the high life.

Dream on!

Even if you cut my neck and chin,

I will never go with you.

Alright.

Then I'll lock you up.

Let's see how long you can stay

in this stone coffin

dug up from

a desolate grave.

Despicable...

You should thank your neck

and chin.

For their sake,

I'll leave a gap in the coffin.

When you change your mind,

I'll take you back to Mount White Camel.

Buns!

Hurry up. Go get prepared.

Are you Mr. Guo and Mr. Yang?

- Yes. - Yes.

The food and drink are prepared.

Please come in and enjoy.

We are one of the best inns

in Jintan City.

You can eat, drink, and stay here.

What about the bill?

The bill has been paid.

Please enjoy yourself and don't worry

about that.

Guiyun Manor sent us off

all the way to Jintan.

It seems that cripple

fears me and Mei Chaofeng greatly.

And he fears

we might seek revenge for our imprisonment.

Kang,

you just said you don't hold grudges.

I don't hold grudges,

but that cripple remembers.

Gentlemen, your dishes are all here.

This Beggar's Chicken

was made by your friend

who paid the bill.

Please, enjoy.

Okay, thank you.

- Let's go. - Please.

These are delicious.

Even in the prince's mansion,

I rarely see these dishes.

Eat more then.

Kang!

I know

who's arranging our meals.

It's not Master Lu.

It's Rong!

Rong must have escaped from her father.

I can tell from the Beggar's Chicken.

And the stewed chicken

with mushrooms we had last meal.

They are my favorites.

I envy you.

The daughter of the Master of Peach Blossom Island

treats you so well.

Here, Kang.

Cheers.

Then I'll go ahead.

Brother Guo, where are you going?

Since Rong knows our route

and prepares meals for us,

I want to reach the next stop ahead of time.

The next stop is Baoying.

Maybe I can see her there.

You stay and eat.

Please enjoy.

Execuse me.

Can you tell me

which one is the best inn

in Baoying?

Go ahead, you can see Dehe Inn.

That's the best one here.

Thank you.

Take care.

(Liu's Bun Shop)

(Dehe Inn)

Shopkeeper.

Sir, a meal or a room?

A room.

Please arrange a room

close to the main road and near the counter.

Okay, please come in.

(Rong,)

(how did you escape?)

(Senior Huang's skills are great.)

(How can you run away from him?)

(You're really clever.)

Dry weather, be careful of fire!

(Am I wrong?)

(Could it really be)

(Master Lu's arrangement?)

(No, that's impossible.)

(That taste, only you can make it.)

Prepare the best food and wine

for these two tomorrow morning.

Here are the menus

and the portraits.

Oh,

I'll cook a few dishes myself.

Take good care of them.

Otherwise,

I can give you this silver,

but I can also take it back.

This one is for Jing.

This one

is for me.

Jing,

is it good?

Good. Very good.

Rong, I knew it's you.

Jing!

Rong!

♪I forget the bustling crowd♪

Jing,

you knew I cooked that?

I knew it was you.

I could definitely tell.

♪Seeing the world's various aspects♪

♪I may soar high, but I wander aimlessly♪

♪Perhaps this life is difficult♪

You came to find me so suddenly.

My father will kill you.

More than death,

I fear

losing you, Rong.

Rong.

♪I've seen the vast world in half of my life♪

♪The mundane world stirred up countless waves♪

Jing.

The moon is so beautiful tonight.

So beautiful.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. None of them are like her!

Isn't there anyone more like her?

Young master, calm down.

We've found some new girls.

Here are their portraits.

This one...

She's the shopkeeper

of Tongren Pawnshop.

Her surname is Cheng.

Bring her here.

Vegetables for sale!

Are your vegetables fresh today?

They're all quite fresh.

Please pick what you like.

Sugar-coated haws!

Big and sweet sugar-coated haws!

Jing.

Are you sure to take Yang Kang

to kill Wanyan Honglie?

What about it?

Aren't you afraid of Yang Kang

might see his Jin prince father

and get emotional, reverting back to being a prince?

Yang Kang and I

swore brotherhood before the heavens and the gods.

I trust him.

- But that can't... - Rong.

Yang Kang made mistakes before,

but he has repented.

If even I, his sworn brother,

don't trust him,

who in this world will?

- You always win. - Waiter!

A pot of wine, two steamers of buns.

Coming up!

Sir,

your wine. Buns will be here soon.

Okay.

Have you heard?

Around Baoying County,

things have been

quite unsettled lately.

Many young girls

- have suddenly disappeared. - Here are your buns.

They are not just disappeared.

The scariest part is

some of the missing girls

suddenly come back.

In the dead of night,

they just lie motionless

on the street.

Their eyes wide open, not moving.

It's terrifying.

Indeed.

But I heard it's the ghost of a womanizer

roaming the world,

selecting brides for ghost marriages.

If they pick a girl,

she will be taken away.

If not,

she will be sent back.

That's nonsense.

I heard

it's those beggars from Beggars' Gang.

- Jing. - Some of the beggars

act righteous.

But some of them

are just thieves.

True. Eat up.

Let's dig in.

Those gossipers!

Qigong leads the Beggar's Gang.

How could they do

such vile deeds?

Jing.

Qigong told me about this mark.

The Beggars' Gang

uses this mark for emergency.

Could it be

that Qigong is nearby?

The chopstick

points to the next spot.

Miss Cheng is known for her beauty,

one of the best in Baoying County.

The lecher is around.

If we're late,

Miss Cheng might be taken by others.

Let's do it tonight!

Seize the initiative and strike first.

Alright, tonight it is.

See you at the Tongren Pawnshop.

Let's go now.

It was indeed the traitors

within the Beggars' Gang.

These scoundrels are causing trouble,

bringing shame to Qigong.

Let's help Qigong

teach these scoundrels a lesson.

I agree.

Quickly!

Who's there?

A Heroine!

A woman?

What?

You were expecting a man?

Have the heroes of the Beggars' Gang

arrived?

Yes.

- Mr. Li. - Miss Cheng.

Are these two your friends?

Are you Miss Cheng?

Yes, I am.

Who are you?

I'm Guo Jing.

I'm Huang Rong.

We knew Senior Hong

of your gang.

We heard Miss Cheng was in trouble,

so we came to help.

I'm Li sheng.

And this is

(Yu Zhaoxing, Li Sheng from Beggars' Gang) Yu Zhaoxing, my junior's apprentice.

Miss Cheng

(Cheng Yaojia) is an apprentice of Taoist Sun Bu'er,

Qingjing Sanren.

We also heard

that

the womanizer

was coming to cause trouble.

So we are here

to help Miss Cheng.

That was really

just a misunderstanding.

Heroes, thank you for your assistance.

I'm deeply grateful.

Recently, in Baoying,

young girls have gone missing

with tales of ghost brides and ghost marriages.

Our gang searched everywhere

for the mastermind.

We found no clues.

But at each missing girl's doorstep,

we found

these flowers

from the Western Regions.

We suspect

it's the womanizer's way

of marking targets.

The latest one was found

at the door of Miss Cheng's pawnshop.

If I'm right,

that womanizer

must be Ouyang Ke.

Nephew of Western Venom Ouyang Feng?

Indeed, it's that lecher.

We've fought Ouyang Ke several times.

Qigong once

warned him in person.

But he remains stubborn

and unrepentant.

Mr. Li,

what's your plan?

How can we help?

Here is our plan.

I'll dress up

like Miss Cheng

and sleep in her room.

If the thief comes tonight,

he will take me.

Once inside their lair,

we'll coordinate from the inside and outside.

Isn't this great?

Great!

Great!

Senior,

Ouyang Ke's men are bad,

but not stupid.

If they really

kidnap you,

they'd say

that Miss Cheng has gained

quite a bit of weight.

Well...

This is indeed a problem.

I'm usually

a big eater,

so I might be a tad heavier

than Miss Cheng.

So, I'll be Miss Cheng.

That would be best.

No.

Why not?

Jing,

we'll work together.

We fought Ouyang Ke to a standstill

last time.

Now we're with seniors from Beggars' Gang.

The four of us

will definitely beat that lecher.

Still, no.

Jing,

don't forget,

I have needles in my sleeves.

When Ouyang Ke realizes

he's kidnapped the wrong person,

my needles

will already be in his face.

Rong, you're younger than me,

but risking yourself to save me.

How can I accept that?

No need to be so formal.

If we keep this up,

the lecher might be embarrassed and not come.

Great!

They're here.

(Tongren Pawnshop)

It's two of them,

both women.

Ouyang Ke isn't there.

Miss Cheng,

do you know how long

I've searched for a face like yours?

You have no idea

what I'm feeling right now.

We fell into his trap!

How did you find out?

I used mandrake flowers

as a marker at the door.

Even if there's only pollen left,

I can tell those stinky beggars are around.

Ouyang Ke,

give them the antidote

and release everyone!

You really think you can beat me?

Rong.

I never thought

you'd come looking for me.

What a beautiful night

in such a romantic atmosphere.

After dealing with these beggars,

I'll come back to you.

Take this!

Qigong taught this kid

so many moves.

Could he have

some connection with our Beggars' Gang?

You keep using

the same 15 moves.

I'm bored to death.

Got anything new?

These moves are enough to deal with you.

The Beggars' Gang has a big reputation.

But seeing it today,

it's laughable.

Beggar's Snake-catching Palm is not good.

Qigong's skills

aren't impressive.

Who ambushed me? Show yourself!

Qigong!

Chief! Chief!

Senior.

Are you alright?

Senior,

we meet again.

I pay my respects.

You don't go back to the Western Regions,

but keep causing trouble here.

Are you going to die

in Central Plains?

Senior, you're invincible in the Central Plains.

If you spare my life,

I won't die here

in Central Plains.

Who taught you to say that?

Before my travel,

my uncle told me

to treat you

with utmost respect.

Senior, you value your identity.

You won't attack me

nor bully the weak

to preserve your reputation.

That's not from your uncle.

Old Venomous Creature knows well,

if I want to do something,

no one can stop me.

From your words,

you seem dissatisfied with

my Beggar's Snake-catching Palm.

Senior, that's not true.

I was talking nonsense.

But Senior, you and my uncle are equals.

For a fair fight,

it should be between

your apprentices and I.

We're the same generation.

I have no apprentice.

If Qigong can chose

a true apprentice

and teach him diligently,

he can easily

defeat you.

Only a true apprentice

can represent

Qigong's martial arts.

Qigong is willing to teach,

but someone must be able to learn.

That's the key.

Qigong,

did you hear that?

This lecher is mocking you.

You've taught thousands of people.

But you only keep your great skills

to yourself,

not to your apprentices.

And always

a few scattered moves,

- not teaching the whole set. - Rong.

I got that.

That's true.

If you are

not here today,

how could Jing's 15 moves

have protected us all?

Can the vast Central Plains

with its countless people,

rely only on Qigong?

If you take a nap,

who knows how many girls

this lecher would kidnap?

Leaving aside

such grand ambitions,

suddenly today,

I want to take an apprentice

to play with Old Venomous Creature.

What's wrong?

Jing, kowtow to your master.

Master,

please accept my kowtow.

Congratulations, Qigong.

you have a true apprentice now.

Silly boy,

I'm willing to teach you martial arts.

Can you learn?

I don't know, Qigong.

Master.

I'll teach you the final three moves.

You will use them

to defeat him.

If you can't win,

you're not my apprentice.

Watch this.

Qigong,

you can't teach in front of this lecher.

Shouldn't we be fair?

I'll teach right here.

Who learns it, gets it.

So fast.

I'm done.

Go fight him.

I want to see.

Qigong...

It's so fast.

I'm afraid this silly boy

didn't even understand.

(The sixteenth move,)

(Treading on Ice.)

(The seventeenth move,)

(The Ram Charges into the Fence.)

(The eighteenth move,)

(The Divine Dragon Swishes its Tail.)

(These three moves are actually)

(a combination of the first fifteen.)

(Without mastering)

(the first fifteen moves,)

(I can't learn these three moves at all.)

(Now I know Qigong's kind intention.)

Silly boy,

fall asleep?

Qigong,

I think we should stop.

If I accidentally kill him,

it would disgrace you.

If my uncle found out,

he'd scold me.

Jing doesn't want to kill you,

young venomous creature,

so Old Venomous Creature still has someone to bury him!

Rong,

you are beautiful.

so I like listening to you scold me.

But tonight, I'll show you

who can be your lover.

He made it.

That's the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Ouyang Ke,

give us the antidote now.

Don't get too big.

I'm only giving it

for Qigong's sake.

Qigong,

let Jing finish off this lecher.

Or what if he'll

grow into another

Old Venomous Creature?

No.

I should save face for Old Venomous Creature.

Last time, when I was alone,

I was poisoned by him,

almost falling into his trap.

Really?

Of course.

Qigong, you don't care about Rong.

What if the young venomous creature

takes advantage of your absence

and comes after me again?

Then I will...

What do you want now?

I've taken Jing as my apprentice.

What more do you want?

Go find your father, Old Heretic Huang.

Qigong treats me

better than my father does.

Besides,

I look down on my father's martial arts.

I only admire

your skills.

You insist on following me?

You think I can't deal with you,

right?

Since that's the case,

take me as your apprentice too.

So today, Qigong,

you'll have a male apprentice

and a female apprentice.

That's a double happiness.

Alright,

today I'll take both of you as my apprentices.

I'll tell Old Heretic Huang next time.

Prepare some delicious dishes for your master.

I need to work on the bang's matter later.

Very good, Master.

Huazheng,

you've had a long and tiring journey.

Eat more.

Fourth Brother,

(Huazheng, Mongol Princess)

We've been away from the grasslands

for so long.

In this vast world,

where can I find

Guo Jing?

The world is big,

but not as big as your heart.

In these troubled times,

all you think about

is your dear Guo Jing.

Of course.

Even in life's worst moments,

with families torn apart,

a couple should die together.

Please help me.

Where could Guo Jing be?

Once we reach Song territory

and finish our tasks,

(Tolui, Mongol Prince) Master Jebe and I

will help you

turn the world upside down

to find your husband

and marry you to him.

Stop! Don't tease me!

White eagles!

White eagles!

You fly high and see far.

Please help me

find Guo Jing!

Fourth Brother,

they can get me.

Silly girl.

Jin soldiers!

- Huazheng! - Quickly!

Quickly!

It's Wanyan Honglie.

Go!

Kill them!

Kang!

Brother Guo?

- Brother Guo. - Kang.

You found Miss Huang.

Sorry.

Rong and I want to

go back to Jintan to find you

this morning.

But we met

Ouyang Ke that lecher

causing trouble and harming girls.

I couldn't resist helping,

and it delayed us.

It's okay.

Is Miss Huang coming with us to Zhongdu?

We'll head north from here,

past Chuzhou, crossing the Huai River,

and we'll into Jin territory.

It's Saren and Naren,

my white eagles.

How did they get here?

They seem to want to

take me somewhere.

- Let's go, Kang. - Let's go.

- Huazheng? - Guo Jing.

Huazheng!

- Huazheng! Huazheng! - Master Jebe!

Brother Tolui!

Huazheng.

- Huazheng. - Huazheng.

Is she okay?

She's fine, just fainted.

Why is Huazheng here?

She insisted on coming to find you.

Who knew

we'd run into these Jin soldiers?

Who leads their troops?

It's Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie?

Where is he now?

He should be nearby.

Brother Guo, I'll go kill this traitor first.

Brother Tolui,

you take Huazheng

to the Jintan post station for treatment.

- Okay. - I'll come find you later

after I deal with the Jin.

Okay. Be careful, Brother Guo.

- Rong! - Jing!

Wanyan Honglie is ahead.

Let's go after him.

Where is Yang Lang?

He went first.

How could you let him go alone

to chase Wanyan Honglie?

If he's a spy,

it will ruin everything.

No, he just helped me kill

several Jin soldiers.

We should go now

and get ahead of Yang Kang.

Let's go.
