A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 28

I've always been curious

about the grudges between your parents and Yihua Palace.

If you don't mind, I would like to follow you there.

Sure, why would I mind?

By the way, what was your father's name?

My father?

He was the infamous,

the one and only, the most good-looking man in the world,

Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng"?

I heard that

he was gentle and had pleasant manners.

No lady in the world could resist his smile.

How did he die?

I'm not sure about the entire story.

I only know

that my father was killed by a man named Jiang Qin

and the masters of Yihua Palace.

Then what has it to do with Master Yan?

Mr. Yan is my father's sworn brother.

After saving me, he was tricked into going into Wicked Canyon.

He was tortured by the villains and went into a coma for over a decade.

He has just gotten better lately and scared away those villains.

His comeback in the martial arts world this time is to put an end to the grudges.

The masters of Yihua Palace killed your parents.

Mr. Yan is your uncle.

Both masters of Yihua Palace are my aunts.

It seems a fierce fight between us is inevitable.

It's either Mr. Yan makes me kill you...

Or I'll kill you for my aunts.

We are meant to be nemeses.

I think we can take it as a unique fate.

As the saying goes,

"When the catastrophe is approaching, one will surely get nervous.

Since nothing has happened yet, why not enjoy the moment now?"

I'm not educated. Stop showing off your knowledge.

Speak simply.

"Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die."

Drinking?

That's not a problem at all!

My alcohol tolerance...

By the way, you have to follow me around today.

Why is that?

Today is my birthday.

"Birthday"?

It's the eighth day of the sixth month. Today is the day.

When is your birthday?

I don't know when I was born.

You don't know when you were born?

Have you never celebrated your birthday before?

Never.

You've never had longevity noodles?

Everyone is envious of your status,

but you've missed out so much in your life!

I'm really curious about how you grew up.

How about this?

Today is my birthday and we'll take it as your birthday too.

Let's celebrate together. What do you say?

How do we celebrate birthdays?

Here are your noodles.

Enjoy.

The most important thing

for celebrating a birthday is having longevity noodles

with an egg.

The portion might look big, but there's only one strand of noodle in it.

"One strand"?

Have you not heard of it before?

"Eat a noodle from stem to stern and you'll be as strong as a cow.

Eat a noodle from stem to stern and the girl will never have to worry."

I understand now.

According to physiognomy,

the longer the medial cleft, the longer one's life is.

If one's medial cleft is over an inch, he can live for more than 100 years.

The length of the noodle represents the length of the face.

No wonder people eat a long noodle strand on their birthday.

Why are you laughing?

Hua Wuque.

You must have gone crazy from all the reading in Yihua Palace.

If eating long noodles increases the length of the face and longevity,

for eating this eight inches long noodles,

does that mean your medial cleft is eight inches long?

Enough. Let's eat.

Hua Wuque.

You lose.

That's amazing.

Why didn't I think of that?

You're so weird.

You lost the game, yet you're so happy.

Hey, play with me.

I can't.

If the masters find out, they'll kill me.

But it's boring to play Go alone.

You can play with one hand for each side.

If only I had a brother.

Little brother, I'll be using the white pieces.

Big brother, then I'll use the black pieces.

I used to play Go by myself when I was young.

I always imagined having a brother to play with me.

My dream has finally come true today.

Whenever you feel like playing Go, you can come to me

if you're not afraid of losing.

-Let's have another round. -Hey, hold on.

For this match, the loser will have to finish one pot of wine.

"One pot"?

Server, bring us ten pots of wine.

Got it!

Great!

Let's play.

Come on.

Another important thing for celebrating a birthday is

to release a river lantern and make a wish.

Why do we have to make a wish?

I almost forgot.

You grew up in Yihua Palace.

You had everything you desired.

There's no need for you to make wishes.

But you're not at Yihua Palace now.

Don't you have something you wish for?

What kind of wishes do you usually make?

My wish?

Of course that's something great.

For example,

to taste all delicacies from land and the sea in the world,

to marry the most innocent, kindest, and cutest girl in the world.

Hey, let's release the lanterns.

And now, make a wish.

What did you wish for?

What wish did you make?

Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine.

I won't tell you if you don't tell me.

You're getting smarter.

Don't run!

Jiang Xiaoyu!

YIHUA PALACE

What's wrong, Yaoyue?

Not only didn't Hua Wuque kill Jiang Xiaoyu,

the two of them...

have even become friends.

How did this happen?

Help!

Who's there?

Who are you?

The badge represents the masters of Yihua Palace.

How should I address you?

Mr. Tong.

Greetings, Mr. Tong.

Stand up.

Answer my question.

When you left the palace, what did the masters tell you?

They told me to kill a man named Jiang Xiaoyu.

Have you done that?

I...

Take it.

Is he...

-Jiang Xiaoyu? -Yes.

That's great then.

Kill him.

If you're unwilling to kill someone who can't fight back,

you may release his acupoints.

My good friend, I knew you would come to save me.

Hey, who are you?

You wear a mask and scare people in the middle of the night.

Hua Wuque, what are you waiting for?

I can't kill him now.

Have you forgotten the masters' order?

I will never forget their order.

It's just that we have a deal to duel in three months.

I can't kill him before that.

How dare you defy the masters' command?

I won't defy their command, but I can't break a promise either.

Even if my aunts are here right now, I won't go against my words and kill him.

That would let my aunts down and go against the teachings of Yihua Palace.

You refuse to kill him not just because of the deal,

but for something else, right?

No.

If that's the case, Hua Wuque, don't wait for another three months.

I command you to kill him right now!

Forgive me. I can't do as you command.

Hey, Ugly Monster.

He said he will do it in three months. Why can't you be patient?

What did you just call me?

Ugly Monster.

Why? Am I wrong?

You dare not show your face. You must be really ugly.

You kidnapped me into a forest late at night

and you're forcing him to kill me.

You're either a lunatic or a monster.

You can't even wait for three months.

Could it be...

that you are too old to wait any longer

and can't even live for another three months?

You scum, what are you saying?

It's destined

that one of you must die in the hand of the other.

This day will come regardless.

A good show is worth waiting for.

Fine. I'll wait for another three months.

Sir, that means you agree to it?

All right, you may leave.

How about him?

He is staying.

Are you going to detain him?

For these three months, I'll be protecting him from any danger.

I will make sure he doesn't get hurt.

After three months, I will hand him over to you.

Sir.

I feel bad having to trouble you to protect me.

It won't even trouble me to protect someone like you.

You have no idea.

I'm the most wicked person who came from Wicked Canyon.

Many people in the martial arts world is waiting to kill me.

Besides Hua Wuque, no one else is allowed to kill you.

Don't be too confident.

You might embarrass yourself later.

Those who could embarrass me are no longer alive.

Great! Then I can do whatever I want in the coming months.

I can say and do whatever I want then.

Because no one can hurt me.

In my presence, you'll never succeed

in doing anything in the coming months.

Don't be too certain about that.

Hua Wuque, why are you still here?

Hua Wuque.

I don't have many friends.

I'm content to have you as my friend.

Even if you kill me in the duel that's coming in three months,

I'll accept it without question.

I promised to meet up with Mr. Yan in Zhenjiang.

Please tell him that I can't make it.

What did he just say to you?

I didn't say anything.

ZHENJIANG

Take a look. The clothes are good and cheap.

Take care.

YANG ZIJIANG RESTAURANT

Is there still no news from Yulang?

No news as of yet.

-Keep looking for him. -Yes.

Sir, this way, please.

Please wait for a moment. I'll serve you the food right away.

Yan Nantian?

So he is still alive.

Mr. Jiang, do you need another pot of wine?

Are you the famous Hero of Jiangnan,

Jiang Biehe?

You flatter me.

Do you mind if I sit here and have a drink with you?

Please.

The rumor in the martial arts world is true.

Yan Nantian has left Wicked Canyon alive.

It's been a while since I was active in the martial arts world.

The moment I started to wander around,

I was told you're the most famous person in the martial arts world.

Since I bumped into you today, we must drink together.

Mr. Jiang, why don't you sit down?

Cheers, Mr. Yan.

Let me give you a toast.

Cheers.

Why doesn't he recognize me?

Has he lost his memories after being tortured relentlessly in Wicked Canyon?

Or is this a trap?

Why haven't you drunk your wine?

I never expected that I would bump into the World's Best Divine Swordsman,

Mr. Yan, here in Zhenjiang today.

I've always admired you.

It's the greatest honor to have met you today.

Well.

Today is the day that we first met, we must drink our fill.

Of course.

It is a pleasure to meet you. We must drink our fill.

Let's drink until we drop.

Well said.

Hey, bring us 30 jars of wine.

Got it!

It seems he really doesn't recognize me.

I must have changed a lot over the last 18 years.

Here.

How satisfying.

It was fun drinking with you.

However, there's one thing I really don't understand.

Why is the kindest person

and the most wicked person in the world

share the same Jiang surname?

What do you mean?

My sworn brother, Jiang Feng,

was the best among the best and a man of good faith.

He could be considered the kindest man in the world.

His servant, Jiang Qin's surname was Jiang too.

Jiang Feng saved his life.

He owed Jiang Feng a great debt of gratitude.

However, that ungrateful lackey

colluded with evil people to kill him.

This man named Jiang Qin is truly abominable.

He isn't just abominable.

He is the most heinous man in the world.

It's too bad I have no idea where that lowlife is right now.

The reason I came to Zhenjiang was to look for him.

If I ever see him,

I will crush his bones one by one.

Mr. Yan.

I'm not Jiang Qin.

-I'm sorry. -It's all right.

I think I drank too much.

It has been my utmost pleasure to have a drink with you.

It was the honor of a lifetime.

Cheers!

Good.

When you drink with a true friend,

-a thousand cups will still be too few. -A thousand cups will still be too few.

Come on.

Another toast! Drink up.

-Mr. Yan! -A thousand cups will still be too few.

Mr. Yan!

Yan Nantian.

Don't blame me for this.

You should have died a long time ago.

So you were acting?

It was just a few jars of wine. It's nothing to me.

Jiang Biehe.

You tried to get me drunk, but you only took a few sips.

I knew that you were up to no good.

Jiang Biehe.

There's no grudge between you and me.

Why did you try to kill me?

How can two great heroes coexist?

You and I can't exist together.

Do you think we can coexist in the martial arts world?

You're just a hero in name.

You're so vicious

and even resort to such despicable means.

If I don't get rid of you today for the sake of the martial arts world,

who knows how many people will be killed by you in the future.

Do you have to kill me?

-Yes! -If you kill me,

no one else in the world can tell you the whereabouts of Jiang Qin.

You won't be able to find him for the rest of your life.

Do you know where Jiang Qin is?

Yes.

Where is he?

Didn't you say that you wanted to kill me?

Do it then.

As a great hero,

isn't it a great loss of dignity

if you interrogate me like this?

I don't mind telling you,

but...

You must promise me two things.

Let's hear it.

Listen to this first thing carefully.

Not only that you can't kill me today,

from now on,

you can never inflict injuries on me, not even a little.

Fine.

I promise you that.

Secondly,

I'll tell you Jiang Qin's whereabouts,

but you have to keep it a secret

and never tell anyone else.

I can promise that as well.

I want to kill him myself.

There's no need to tell others.

Yes.

Well said.

But what if you can't kill him?

If I can't kill him by myself,

then no one else can.

Good.

Very good.

Tell me.

Where is Jiang Qin?

He is here.

I...

am Jiang Qin.

What did you say?

-You are Jiang Qin? -Yes.

The servant who sent you a message.

The cheater who lured you into Wicked Canyon.

The enemy you dream of killing all day and night.

It's me.

You scum!

-I'll kill you! -Yan Nantian!

Have you forgotten what you promised?

As a great hero,

if the news of you going back on your words gets around,

aren't you afraid that you'll be mocked by others?

You...

You...

You were too desperate to find Jiang Qin.

That's why you agreed to spare my life.

But now,

you know his whereabouts,

yet you can't kill him.

Isn't this fate?

All right.

I'll spare your life for now.

But don't be too glad.

You'll be punished by the heavens someday.

I'd wait for that.

I'm famished!

Is anyone there?

Where are you going?

Where did you go?

I've been looking for you!

I woke up so early, yet you didn't prepare breakfast for me.

I'm starving.

You better not play any tricks under my watch.

Fine.

You're skillful and great.

No matter how hard I fight back, I can never escape.

It's good that you know.

It's delicious.

It's really delicious.

Where did you get these snacks?

I've never had anything as good as this.

Just eat. Stop the nonsense.

You have never removed your mask. How do you eat?

It's so inconvenient. Let me remove your mask.

That hurts!

Let me go. I won't try to remove your mask!

Let go of me!

-It hurts so much! -I'm warning you,

in the next three months, if you don't behave yourself,

-you'll be sorry. -All right.

I promise you.

Let me go.

Your arms and legs are so skinny, yet you have such great strength.

What's wrong now?

I need to use the restroom.

-Trying another trick again? -I...

I really need to use the restroom.

Everyone needs to answer nature's call. The urgency is unstoppable.

-I can't take it anymore! -You are not going anywhere!

I'm really going to soil my pants.

If this stinks up the place, it'll affect your appetite too.

How dare you!

No matter how capable you are,

even if you can fly or dig into the earth,

you can't stop people from going to the restroom!

If you don't let me go to the restroom,

there's only one way left.

You have to kill me right here and now!

Otherwise...

Otherwise, I can't take it anymore! It's coming out!

-I have to go! -Leave!

RESTROOM

Are you already dead inside there?

I'm almost done!

You're guarding the restroom when I'm doing my business.

How embarrassing.

I feel so much better.

I feel so good.

What took you so long?

I haven't defecated in the last few days. Of course it would take some time.

My bowel has been cleaned out

and my body is so light now.

What's wrong now?

I'm hungry.

Why are you so troublesome?

Don't you need to consume something after you've discharged something?

Hey, didn't you say we are going out for a meal?

Why did you bring me here?

Because you'll behave here.

What about you? Are you not going to guard me?

I have hit your acupoint, you can't even move.

Where else can you go?

Hey, I can't move an inch right now.

Aren't you worried about my safety?

There is no one in this wilderness.

This is the safest place for you.

Ugly Monster is right.

There's no one at this godforsaken place.

There's zero chance to hope for someone to rescue me.

If I stay up here, I won't stand a chance of escaping.

Hey! What if it rains?

My body is weak. I get sick very easily.

It's all right if I fall sick,

but if I die from sickness, it will affect your reputation, right?

Remember, you promised Hua Wuque

that you'd keep me safe and sound.

Are you going back on your own words?

Whatever illness you get, I can treat you.

You can't be sure of that.

What if a giant bird flies by me

and pecks out my eyes?

Can you fix that?

Why are you so annoying?

I don't have any other hobbies

except being annoying.

If you don't like it, you can kill me now.

You won't be annoyed when I'm dead.

Can't you just keep quiet?

I've defecated a lot, eaten a lot and talked about a lot of nonsense

since I was small.

You can hit my Mutism Point, so that I can't talk.

However, I heard that you can't mute someone for more than ten hours.

Otherwise, that person will die.

If you've decided to hit that acupoint,

you'll need to return every ten hours to release it.

I guess it's more trouble than it's worth.

You know quite a lot.

I know a better way.

Of all strategies, the retreat is the best.

You won't hear me anymore after you leave.

You'll have peace of mind then.

I plan to do just that.

Ugly Monster is finally gone.

When Hua Wuque comes to rescue me, we won't bump into her.

Did you hear that?

You said Hua Wuque will come and save you.

How does he know that you're here?

Fine. I'll come clean.

I'm very close to Hua Wuque.

We have a secret code.

He can hear me if he is within ten miles.

Therefore, if I whistle a signal, he can find me.

That hurts so much.

That hurts so much!

Stand up and come with me.

Do you know that money is the best thing on earth?

It appears all the restaurants are closed,

but money can make a mare run.

As long as you're willing to pay,

any one of them will open their doors and cook for you.

SANHE RESTAURANT

Here's a restaurant.

-"Sanhe Restaurant"? -Knock on the door.

They make Jiangzhe cuisine.

No way, I don't eat that.

How about this one?

ZHEN BEIPING

"Zhen Beiping"?

They must make northern cuisines.

I never eat northern cuisines.

Let's go to another one.

Why not?

Can't you just put up with it?

Of course not.

Listen.

One can betray his friends, but he can never go against his stomach.

Because your friends might betray you any time,

but your stomach will be following you forever.

That's why I'm a picky eater.

If I'm forced to eat what I don't like, I would rather starve myself to death.

Everyone in the world is afraid of me,

but why aren't you afraid?

I know that you can't kill me.

Why should I be afraid of you?

There's another restaurant over there.

Let's go and have a look.

"Zhuangyuan Restaurant, authentic Sichuan cuisine"?

I'm okay with it. I like Sichuan Cuisine.

Mr. Tong, please come in.

What are you waiting for?

Although he is wearing a copper mask, he has so much gold tied to his waist.

The God of Prosperity is here. What are you waiting for?

I'm sorry.

This restaurant...

is closed.

"Closed"?

I don't care if you're closed or not, serve him everything he desires.

If you miss out on any dishes, I'll kill you.

How satisfying!

Hanging out with such a demanding person like you is so satisfying.

Server, take my order.

Sir, what would you like to order?

Write this down.

I want bon bon chicken, cold dishes, spicy tendon,

pork with garlic sauce, tea-smoked duck, braised oxtail,

and fish with chili bean sauce.

Got that? All right, you got it. Go.

I can't eat too much late at night. Just a few random dishes are fine.

Hey, come back.

We need some good liquor as well.

Zhuyeqing liquor or Huadiao wine is fine.

Bring us 10 to 15 liters of them.

I'm sorry.

All our wine has been sold out.

"Sold out"?

If it's sold out, then get it from somewhere else!

Yes!

ZHUANGYUAN RESTAURANT AUTHENTIC SICHUAN CUISINE

It's delicious.

Why are you standing?

It's embarrassing when I'm the only one sitting.

The dishes are delicious.

Don't you want to try some?

Come on.

Take a sniff.

Doesn't this smell good?

Take a sniff.

Don't you like chicken tails?

This is the most delicious food on earth.

It smells terrible but it tastes so good.

When you sink your teeth into it, you hear a sound.

The fat bursts in your mouth.

Chicken tails have nothing against you. Why did you do that to them?

Listen to my advice. Just let me go.

Stop torturing yourself.

Let you go?

Dream on.

Even if you offer to release me now, I won't go.

Having someone to protect me when I'm asleep and pay for my wine.

Where would I find a life like this?

I want you to live a happy life for now,

so that you'll suffer more when you die.

I won't be suffering.

I've thought it through.

It's better to die in Hua Wuque's hands then being killed by others.

Don't you loathe him?

Why should I?

His aunts killed your parents.

What has that got to do with him?

Let me ask you a question.

Why do you want so much for me to hate him?

Hate him or not, what has it got to do with me?

That's right.

It's none of your business.

So why do you care so much about it?

You want to make sure he kills me with his own hands,

yet you can't reveal the reason.

Don't you think it's weird?

He hates you and so he wants to kill you.

What is so strange about that?

How do you know if he hates me?

He...

has to.

Look.

That's the strangest thing.

You and the master of Yihua Palace wouldn't break a sweat killing me.

Why don't you do it yourself?

I think you don't care about my death at all.

What you really care about is that I must be killed by Hua Wuque.

You're going to die regardless.

It doesn't make a difference to who does it.

It does make a huge difference!

Furthermore, the relationship behind it all is very subtle.

I just know there must be a unique reason behind it.

However, I just can't think of what it is.

It's a secret.

You will never find out.

What's so mysterious about it?

I don't believe this secret is known only by you and no one else.

Your guess is correct.

It is known by someone else.

The secret is only known by two people,

but they will never tell you.

The masters of Yihua Palace surely know about the secret.

Of course.

You just said the secret is only known by two people.

The masters of Yihua Palace are two sisters.

So are you...

Yaoyue or Lianxing?

Jiang Xiaoyu.

Heed my warning, don't presume you're smarter than us.

Sir.

Why isn't Jiang Xiaoyu here?

He is being grounded.

I'm afraid he isn't free to move.

Who keeps him grounded?

A senior who wears a copper mask.

He calls himself Mr. Tong.

I've been wandering around the martial arts world for decades.

I've never heard of someone called Mr. Tong.

You made this up, right?

I'm just telling the truth.

Do you think I'll believe you?

Did you kill Jiang Xiaoyu?

I'm trying my best to do what has been entrusted to me.

I am speaking the truth.

How dare you lie to my face. Aren't you afraid that I'd kill you?

I fought with you once.

I know I'm no match for you.

If you still don't believe me,

you can kill me if you wish.
