EPISODE 43

Leave.

Are you not going to avenge your parents?

It's not that I don't want to.

I just think...

that killing him isn't the only way to get revenge.

Yes.

He killed my parents.

That is because he is a malicious man.

But if I kill him,

won't I become the same as him?

So I want him to live.

I want him to use the rest of his life to repent for his crimes.

I think that is more meaningful than killing him.

Good child.

To have a descendant like you,

I am sure...

IN MEMORY OF JIANG FENG AND HUA YUENU

...Jiang Feng can rest in peace.

I have lived for decades in vain.

I don't even have your wisdom and sense.

I will comply with your wishes.

I will disable Jiang Biehe's martial arts,

so he will live out his life with remorse.

Xiaoyu'er.

What's on your mind?

I seem to have suddenly gained clarity about many things.

By the way, how is Tie Pinggu?

She is currently in mourning for Mr. Li.

The Murong family will send assistance

to help her transport Mr. Li's coffin back to his hometown for burial.

That's good.

Mr. Li could reconcile with his daughter before he died.

He can rest in peace now.

Yes, right.

A few of your friends came to see you. I brought them here.

Who?

Who else?

You brat, you value love more than friendship.

Now that you have Ms. Su, do you no longer remember me?

What are you saying?

We are all here to cheer for you.

What to cheer for?

I am here to gamble!

Whoever dares to bet on Hua Wuque's victory,

I will wring his neck!

Everyone must wager on Xiaoyu'er's victory!

The Murong family supports Xiaoyu'er.

-Right, Zhang Jing? -Of course.

Murong Jiu's friend is my friend.

Murong Jiu.

Do you remember everything now?

I remember some and have forgotten some.

What do you remember?

I remember that we are the best of friends.

All right!

With friends like you, I would die without regrets.

Take that back!

Don't say such demoralizing words!

You need to win.

You must win!

-You must win. -Xiaoyu'er will win!

-You must win! -All right!

I really appreciate that you came to support me.

But at tomorrow's duel,

I don't want to see every single one of you!

Goodbye for now.

You...

You little devil!

Are you truly such a fool?

Yihua Palace will show up in full force. You don't have any support!

We have to be there with you!

Hua Wuque is also his friend.

He already feels troubled.

If you are there tomorrow,

he will feel even more flustered.

I don't care.

I haven't had a satisfying drink with you yet!

You have to return alive tomorrow!

Xiaoyu'er.

You must return alive.

Hei Zhizhu, Ms. Meng.

You two look good together.

It is all thanks to you that we can be together.

I hope we'll get to see you two tie the knot soon.

-Don't forget to invite us. -Hey.

-The two of us are-- -We will

definitely invite you.

All right.

Xiaoyu'er, take care.

He is certain that I will die tomorrow.

That's why he gave me this wine.

Hey!

I am the world's smartest person!

I won't die so easily!

Wuque.

BEIJI HALL

What was the oath you made before leaving the valley?

I will never forget it.

So why is she here?

I followed on my own.

I know.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque will have their duel tomorrow.

I also know I can't stop it.

Excellent.

Nobody in this world

can stop this duel from happening.

I can at least stay to watch the duel, right?

If you're not afraid that I'll kill you,

then go ahead and stay.

Wuque.

She narrowly escaped from the rat hole,

and she still feels unsettled.

-Don't blame her. -You two were fortunate to return safely.

How would I blame her?

I hope you will win tomorrow's duel.

Please do not disappoint me, all right?

Wuque.

You must know that

if something happens to you,

I will have to live in pain for the rest of my life.

BEIJI HALL

Are you pitying him?

Yaoyue.

Lianxing.

You have changed.

Yes.

I have changed.

I've never starved for a day.

I've never drunk wine in such a dirty place,

let alone experience the fear of death.

I've never relied on anyone before.

I've never even felt grateful to anyone.

Those things that I have never gone through happened one by one.

I want to erase those memories,

but I can't.

As before, one for each of us.

What else?

Yaoyue.

We've raised Wuque since he was young.

Xiaoyu'er treated us with kindness too.

But how do we treat them?

Whenever I think

that I've actually come out with such a vicious and cruel plan,

-I feel-- -Lianxing.

Have you forgotten how Jiang Feng put us in peril back then?

Do you mean to say we deserve all the suffering that we've experienced?

-But-- -Enough.

It has been 18 years.

This day has finally arrived.

Why do you ignore me?

You keep looking at the lake, what are you thinking?

Take a guess.

Are you thinking of ways to procrastinate the duel?

-You're so smart. -Have you figured out something?

Not yet.

But don't worry, I'll think of something eventually.

You're the smartest person in the world.

But even if you can find the most wonderful solution,

I fear it would be useless this time.

Why?

You still have to face it head-on eventually.

The masters of Yihua Palace won't let you go.

When we were in Wuya Palace,

they seemed to have changed their attitudes for the better.

But once we were out,

they turned their backs on us right away.

I have thought about it.

Yaoyue and Lianxing will surely toss us aside like a used rag.

So, you have to fight Hua Wuque no matter what.

You must face it.

Xiaoyu'er.

I want to beg you a favor.

What is it?

Are you going to make me marry you right now?

Let's run away.

Run somewhere far away.

Let's find a beautiful place to settle in.

We will hide our identities

and cut ties with everyone.

No way.

I'm not the kind of person who flees before a duel.

I would rather kill myself than run off and cut ties with everyone.

Furthermore, I promised Mr. Yan.

How could I go back on my word?

Once your duel with Hua Wuque begins,

it won't stop until one of you is dead.

When one of us is dead,

won't the problem be solved?

But could you even harden your heart to kill him?

I know.

The outcome of the duel

is not determined by who has the greater martial arts skills,

but who is more ruthless.

Will you be ruthless enough to kill him?

Don't let Hua Wuque kill you.

If you die,

I can't live on either.

Silly girl.

Don't be so negative.

No one is going to die.

We are going to live a happy life.

I still don't know how it feels to be a father.

You shouldn't be here.

You know what?

I thought

I could see you as a brother.

However, I realized I was wrong.

To me,

you're more than just a brother or a friend.

I believe...

your feelings for me are not just like those of a sibling,

right?

It's not the right time to talk about this now.

I wanted to keep it to myself,

but I'm afraid if I don't say it now,

I might not have the chance to do so after this.

I know you always think that I only have Xiaoyu'er in my heart.

All this while,

I thought the same too.

However, no one can fake feelings.

Moreover, we have gone through so much together.

I can't lie to myself anymore.

When I truly look in my heart,

I realize the person whom I can't give up on

is you.

I've fallen in love with you.

It's love, not appreciation.

It's a feeling that can't be replaced by any other emotion.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow, the two of you will fight each other to death.

I've thought it over and over

before I decided to tell you the truth.

I just want you to know my feelings.

As for other things,

they are not important anymore.

Tie Xinlan.

I have you in my heart too,

but I don't dare to imagine a future together with you.

If I'm the one who lives,

we'll have to face the death of Xiaoyu'er.

If I die,

then...

You're awake.

I slept quite well last night.

Mr. Yan.

Today's duel is a life and death matter.

You must win. Losing is not an option.

Don't worry.

It's almost time, let's go.

Hold on.

Mr. Yan.

Before we start the duel, I would like to see someone.

Who?

Mr. Wan Chunliu.

He always took good care of me,

but I have never had the chance to thank him.

You're grateful to him, at least his care for you didn't go to waste.

I think he is nearby.

He saved your life, so I don't think you would ever abandon him.

You've guessed correctly. Wan Chunliu doesn't know martial arts.

Of course I have to protect him at all times.

So is he really here?

Mr. Wan, please come out.

Mr. Wan!

Great.

Long time no see.

You've grown up so much.

Have a good chat.

I'll wait for you at the mountain peak.

Sure.

Mr. Wan, it has been a long time. I've missed you.

You're such a sweet talker.

There's nothing in this world that I yearn for.

I'm only worried about you.

After I witness the duel,

I will find a beautiful place

and live in seclusion.

Devilish Girl.

This is Mr. Wan Chunliu.

Greetings, Mr. Wan.

I am Su Ying.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, I'm hungry.

Go get us some food.

All right.

Unexpectedly, the wild horse has put on a bridle too.

Mr. Wan, let me tell you something.

She can only dream about handling me. I'll be the one handling her.

If it weren't for her obedience, I would have already kicked her away.

Enough. Stop bragging.

Xiaoyu'er is so heartless.

He can still joke around at this moment.

If it was a battle of wits with Hua Wuque, he would easily win without a doubt.

However, in terms of martial arts skills, he might not even have a chance.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Mr. Wan, I actually need a favor from you.

What is it? Tell me then.

I've always granted whatever you requested.

It's a matter of life and death.

XUANWU TEMPLE

Mr. Hua.

Don't you remember me?

Are you here to beg me not to kill Xiaoyu'er as well?

Everyone begs me not to kill Xiaoyu'er,

but no one begs him not to kill me.

That's because everyone knows

Xiaoyu'er won't be able to kill you.

Does he know you've come to see me?

If he knew,

he wouldn't have let me come.

I'm not here to beg you.

I'm here to kill you.

If you really intended to kill me, you shouldn't have said it out loud.

That way, you would have had at least a chance.

Do I not stand a chance...

after saying it out?

You're wrong.

I stand a better chance than Xiaoyu'er at doing this.

Do you think I'm going to fight you?

Only animals solve their problems with violence.

People shouldn't do so.

What method will you use then?

My method...

is far more civilized.

Pick one of these cups.

Then, all the problems will be solved.

Why?

I've poisoned one of the cups.

If you choose the poisoned cup,

you will die.

If you pick the one without the poison,

I'll die instead.

Isn't this more civilized...

and fairer?

Are you scared?

Why should I go along?

To decide our fate.

Isn't this reason good enough?

Why must I do this with you?

Then why must you fight Xiaoyu'er to death?

If you fight him to the death, I'll fight you to death.

Do you feel unconfident?

Do you only fight someone when you're confident that you would win?

That's not a fight.

That's murder!

If you don't have the guts to do it,

I can't force you either.

But if it were Xiaoyu'er, he would have the courage to do it.

All right.

I'll pick one.

Whether this wine is poisoned or not,

it's your own choice.

Yes.

It's fair.

It's not fair at all!

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

Not only am I here,

-I'm going to drink this wine too! -You can't drink this!

Why?

This cup is poisoned.

So you know this cup of wine is poisoned.

Then why did you make him drink it?

It's a gamble of life and death.

Someone has to drink the poisoned wine.

That's his choice.

You can't blame me!

Do you think you can fool me?

No matter which cup he chose, the outcome would be the same.

Why?

Because both of them are poisoned!

Su Ying, I'm telling you.

Don't try to be smart.

Others might not see through your tricks, but you can't fool me!

Hua Wuque would die no matter which cup he takes.

You wouldn't even have to drink the other.

Hua Wuque.

Your biggest weakness is that you trust others too easily.

Jiang Xiaoyu.

Your weakness is that you don't trust others at all.

You were wrong about her.

Look, she has taken the wine.

She will be fine.

She poisoned the wine.

She has already taken the antidote.

You're the one who thinks you are so smart.

Do you think you know me well?

Everything I did was for you.

How can you treat me like this?

How do you wish for me to treat you then?

Do you think I'd be grateful to you if you killed Hua Wuque?

At least I kill for a reason.

I did it to save your life.

What about the two of you?

What about you two?

Both of you will fight to death soon.

It's either you kill him or he kills you.

What do you do this for?

What's the point?

It's no different

from dogs biting one another.

Jiang Xiaoyu, you're right.

I'm a vicious woman

while you are a righteous hero.

I don't deserve you.

Your life or death is no longer important to me!

Why did you treat her so?

I know.

She did this for my own good.

I really like her too.

You should go after her.

She must be really upset now.

If she witnesses my death, she will be more upset.

I think this is the best.

I guess by hating me,

she'll be more motivated to stay alive.

Promise me one thing.

If you're the one who lives,

you must explain yourself to her.

Hua Wuque.

We are indeed so different.

Su Ying risked her life to save me, but I scolded her badly.

She almost killed you, but you're standing up for her.

This is why you're always a gentleman,

-but I am-- -Don't belittle yourself.

You're the real gentleman here.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have hurt her feelings because of me.

I didn't scold her because of you.

I did that for myself.

For yourself?

Yes.

If I let someone else kill you,

not only will I regret it, I'll live in remorse for the rest of my life.

Do you remember the day we celebrated birthdays together?

Of course.

I hope these three months will never end.

I want to be friends with Hua Wuque for a lifetime.

Friends forever.

Hua Wuque.

You're the only person I know

who had never celebrated his birthday and made a wish.

I wonder if my first birthday wish...

will come true.

What was your birthday wish?

On my next birthday,

I wish to celebrate it with a friend

called Jiang Xiaoyu.

Master Yaoyue, they are here.

There are actually people who look so alike.

However, he is not my sworn brother's son, Jiang Xiaoyu,

but a descendant of Yihua Palace.

It's all so strange.

It's so windy up here.

I should have worn more clothes.

Aunt Yaoyue.

Regulate your breath and prepare yourself.

You've fought Hua Wuque before.

How are his martial arts skills?

The martial arts of Yihua Palace are indeed unique,

especially Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.

It's really hard to deal with.

Fortunately, I learned some basics of it when I was in Wuya Palace.

Hence, for today's battle, I know what to do.

Your martial arts are extensive and sophisticated

while his martial arts are specialized and profound.

When you're fighting him, don't act rashly with your techniques.

I've thought it over.

His foundation is way better than mine.

I don't stand a chance if I fight him head-to-head.

But I'll surely find a chance to press my advantage during the fight.

You mustn't push your luck in martial arts.

It's too dangerous to think that way.

Yes.

But I know the style and level of his martial arts skills,

while he knows nothing about my martial arts style.

That's because I've never shown anyone my real level of martial arts mastery.

Very well.

To know your own and the enemy's strength is the way to victory.

Mr. Yan, I have a question.

Ask away.

If you truly fight with Master Yaoyue, who will have a greater chance of winning?

Okay, I get it.

You don't have to answer.

Mr. Wan, I have a question for you too.

There's some leftover wine in this cup.

I'm not sure if the wine is poisoned.

Can you check it out for me?

-This wine-- -Wait.

Whatever the answer is, don't tell me just yet.

Why?

If the wine is poisoned,

I will be very angry.

However, if it's not,

I will feel very guilty.

So you should just tell me after the duel.

Otherwise, I might be distracted.

All right.

You're always so unpredictable.

All right, I promise you.

Aunt Yaoyue.

Do you have any further instructions?

No.

You may go now.

I know you won't let me down.

It's time.

Go now.

Yes.

Mr. Yan.

Mr. Wan.

Wait for my return.

Mr. Hua.

Even though the duel is inevitable,

have you ever thought

that if you really kill Xiaoyu'er,

we'll never be happy again?

I was about to tell you

not to come to the duel tomorrow.

I want you to remember only the happy moments,

but forget about me.

The person who is named Hua Wuque

is not supposed to exist in this world in the first place.

Ms. Tie.

You, me, and Xiaoyu'er are friends.

Throughout the entire time,

you've been risking your life to stop our duel.

Therefore,

I truly don't wish you witness

the event that is not supposed to happen

but is destined to happen.

Hua Wuque.

Here I come.

What a shame.

Both of the kids are martial arts talents that rarely come into existence.

Regardless of who dies,

it will be a great loss.

Yes.

They are indeed the best among the younger generation.
