[Episode 33]

Stop making me angry.

I am going to sleep.

Why are you still here?

Just go to sleep, Mother.

I shall not disturb you.

Oh, you.

You are...

I can't feel you.

I made you angry.

I wouldn't dare sit.

Then...

Are you kneeling on the ground?

No.

Mother.

I am kneeling.

You have been kneeling for the whole night?

Mother.

As long as you stop being angry at Yuan Jia,

I am willing to kneel for however long.

Don't mess around.

You are pregnant.

You...

Hurry, stand up.

-Stand up. -Mother.

I won't stand up...

unless you promise to go to the hospital.

Dr. Federer has made it clear.

If you don't receive treatment, your life will be at risk.

If that happens, even if I am willing to sacrifice myself,

I won't be able to save you.

You...

You...

How could you kneel?

You are pregnant.

Don't worry, the baby is obedient.

Yuan Jia, mother has agreed to go to to the hospital.

Really?

I...

Federer tested something called blood pressure on mother.

Hers is too high...

and the pressure won't come down if she doesn't receive treatment.

Also,

her eyesight should be treated as soon as possible.

If she becomes blind,

she won't get her eyesight back anymore.

Got it.

Thank you for your hard work.

We are man and wife.

You talk to me like I'm an outsider.

[St. John Hospital]

[Guard against disease] [Keep quiet]

Huo, I promise...

your mother will get the best treatment at the hospital.

However, I can't guarantee that her eyesight will fully recover...

because we didn't find out...

the cause of the blindness.

She's had it for many years. Sorry to trouble you.

It's because we are not advanced enough in medicine.

I believe that in the future, we will get better in human anatomy and pharmacology.

Many causes of diseases...

will be discovered in the future.

You must have stayed up for the whole night.

Go home.

It's not necessary to stay back in the hospital.

Okay, I got it.

Yuan Jia, don't worry.

Xiao Lian and I will stay here.

Sister, take care of the baby in your tummy.

No need to come so often.

I shall come at night to take over the duty.

Thank you for your help, Sister.

Thank you, Xiao Lian.

I'll call for a taxi.

No need, it's great to take a stroll with you.

Newspapers are available!

There are news about Huo Yuan Jia in Haishang Newspaper!

There are news about Huo Yuan Jia again!

I'll buy a copy.

-Forget it. -Newspapers are available!

Our family is living a peaceful life.

Just ignore what others say.

Haishang Newspaper!

There are news about Huo Yuan Jia again!

-All right. -Newspapers are available!

Is this reporter known by the name of He Ma a lady?

Yes.

She seems delicate.

But her articles are well written.

Just with an article,

she managed to clear Huo Yuan Jia's name.

If I knew that she would publish such article,

I wouldn't have had appointed her as the Chief Editor.

Zuo.

What does that mean?

Huo Yuan Jia doesn't know how to appreciate favours.

There is nothing wrong about him going back home.

His wife, Madam Wang, is gentle and beautiful.

She is also an educated person.

If I were him,

I would also choose to pay my wife a visit.

Nong Jin Sun warned him before.

He would get beheaded without your post.

However, he chose to compliment the Westerner...

in front of me.

He didn't pay you a visit after getting off the ship.

I think he did that on purpose.

He is of the view that the Westerner is more powerful than you.

Is that so?

I am not lying.

He is indeed annoying.

When he is here,

give him a piece of your mind...

so that it would be easier to control him moving forward.

Don't worry, Mr. Rong.

I know how to handle...

a country bumpkin like him.

"For investigation purposes,"

"Huo Yuan Jia was arrested and put in jail."

"At least, justice has been served to the chivalrous person."

Master!

-Master! -Master!

-Master! -Master!

Madam. Master, you're on the newspaper again.

Take a look!

It is not a big deal.

Haishang Newspaper is nothing but nonsense.

I don't have to read it.

Madam Wang.

Yuan Jia, you have to take a look at today's article.

It's not nonsense.

What?

Has Cao Da Ren turned over a new leaf?

Look at this. It's the statement made by Haishang Newspaper.

Previously someone impersonated as the reporter, He Ma...

and published fake news in the newspaper...

to garner attention.

Now, Ms. He Ma Li, whose pen name is He Ma,

has been promoted as the chief editor of Haishang Newspaper.

She aspires to restructure the office.

There won't be any fake news moving forward.

Only genuine news will be reported.

He Ma Li?

Is she the lady who helped me out...

-at Songjiang Office? -Yes.

This is her first article as the new chief editor.

Please read it thoroughly.

[Statement from Haishang Newspaper]

Master, the truth has been revealed in the article.

Your name in the martial arts world is now cleared.

It's well written!

Great.

It's great.

But...

why is the chief editor Ms. He?

How about Cao Da Ren?

-Exactly. -Exactly.

Where did Cao Da Ren go?

I have no idea.

After Brother Zhen Sheng read the newspaper,

he ran to the newspaper office to inquire.

Where is He Ma Li?

[Chief Editor's Office]

Ms. He.

I...

Why did you come in without knocking the door?

I am sorry.

Please come in.

Ms. He, I have read the article.

What are you doing?

Please don't do that.

Thank you for clearing my master's name.

Your master, Huo Yuan Jia...

is innocent all this while.

I am a journalist.

I just reported the truth.

[Chief Editor]

When did you become the chief editor of the newspaper office?

Where did Cao Da Ren who always talked nonsense go?

It is a long story.

Are you here to ask about him...

or to thank me?

Of course I am here to thank you.

How do you plan to thank me?

What are you saying? Didn't I just thank you?

You only bowed to me.

What is the point?

What do you want me to do?

Actually,

you are quite down to earth.

Not only are you good at martial arts and healthy,

you also respect and listen to your master.

You abhor evil...

and repay kindness.

Furthermore...

you saved my life.

If it weren't for you,

I might have jumped into the river and died.

Whenever I recall the moment,

I feel...

that it's destiny.

Don't do anything stupid again.

I had bumped into you.

How could I stand by and watch?

Just tell me how you want me to thank you.

As long as it's within my grasp, I will do it.

Please marry me.

You...

What?

I said,

please marry me.

Your master is a hero.

He aspires to make positive changes to the martial arts world.

I bet his apprentice won't mind the fact that...

I came from a village after running away from wedding.

He won't mind that I am a career woman who works at a newspaper office.

So...

please marry me.

I am willing to marry you.

You...

I...

I must have lost my mind.

How could I say that?

[Elite Martial Arts]

Jin Sun, I forgot to ask you.

How is the case in Songjiang coming along?

It's done.

The prefectural magistrate is afraid of Westerners.

I used Federer to pressure him.

I warned that if he dared to act with disregard for human life...

Federer would write an article...

and it would be published on each and every Western newspaper.

He was terrified.

He immediately promised to release Chen Zhen.

That's great! Hopefully Chen Zhen can think it through...

and stop begrudging me.

Have you seen him?

Did you bring him to Elder Sun's grave?

No.

Jin Sun, you have not completed the task yet.

I can't be waiting there for a month.

A month?

[Martial arts]

I told Magistrate Xu that...

Chen Zhen can't be the murderer who killed his master.

However, he made a scene at the court.

They won't easily let him go.

He'd have to stay in jail for at least a month.

Lord Xu said that he has to do that.

Jin Sun, you...

Why did you do that?

When he caused trouble at Elite that day,

I knew that...

Chen Zhen learned many skills from his master.

He has never been bullied.

If we don't teach him a lesson,

he would become a big bully one day.

Teach him a lesson...

to remove a hidden harm in the martial world.

Even if you are right,

Chen Zhen is a young man that cannot be cowed by force.

If you do so, he might hold greater resentment against us.

After this,

if Chen Zhen is truly a talent,

he would be grateful to you.

If he chooses to hold resentment instead,

it means he is a narrow-minded person.

Since he doesn't know chalk from cheese,

we don't have to feel regret.

Here.

-Dong Jue, eat this. -Here.

Master.

Brother Zhen Sheng says that he is not hungry. He is not coming for dinner.

Okay.

He must have gone to a restaurant on the way to the newspaper office.

He had eaten delicious food.

Of course he's not hungry.

Da You, back when we celebrated New Year in the village,

in order to make sure there was meat on the table,

Zhen Sheng chased after a wolf and was bitten.

Have you forgotten?

I still remember it.

No way he would go to a restaurant alone in secret.

Madam, I got overly excited after reading the article.

I was just kidding.

It's real.

It's fake.

It's real.

It's fake.

Is it real or fake?

[Please marry me.]

[I am willing to marry you.]

Judging from what Zhen Sheng found out,

the change of staff at Haishang...

happened because of Mr. Rong.

Mr. Rong put in so much effort.

I think he intends to help you and Elite Martial Arts.

I have the same thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen He Ma Li as the chief editor.

He also wouldn't allow her to publish...

the truth behind the Songjiang murder case...

and clear my name.

Yes, Mr. Rong is very helpful.

Yuan Jia,

you are smart and tactful.

You still remember Mr. Rong when you are in difficulty.

Thanks to madam for her help too.

Finally, we formed a bond with Mr. Rong.

Elite Martial Arts will be able to shine more in Shanghai.

Yes.

If it weren't for sick mother,

I'd have paid him a visit...

to thank him right after getting off the ship.

You can pay him a visit today.

Jin Sun is right.

As long as you are sincere,

it will never be too late to thank him.

Furthermore, we are indebted to him.

We can't go there empty-handed.

Yes.

We should prepare a present.

I took a stroll on the street just now.

I bought the best tea leaves.

I think it's a proper present for Mr. Rong.

Tea leaves?

The last time I went to Rong Residence,

I noted that Mr. Rong is of uncommon bearing.

I am afraid that he won't accept any ordinary presents.

Though tea leaves are not expensive, it is an elegant present.

It's a proper present.

Madam is very thoughtful.

That's great.

Jin Sun, Mr. Rong is not an ordinary person.

After lunch,

will you come along to thank him?

Of course.

Mr. Rong is well-known in Shanghai.

He has many business ventures.

He is as powerful as a government official.

I know that.

Jin Sun, since you are resourceful,

did you inquire about...

the reputation of Mr. Rong?

He has a good reputation.

However, when he was young, he had a bad reputation.

Why?

It's because of women.

Mr. Rong is almost perfect...

but he has a weakness. He loves women.

When he was young, he mingled with many women.

That's his private life.

We shouldn't discuss about it anymore.

You are right.

Therefore, I didn't say anything during lunch.

Hello, Mr. Zuo.

-I am Huo Yuan Jia from Elite. -I am Nong Jin Sun.

We are here to see Mr. Rong.

You don't have to be so polite.

If you are free, you should focus on teaching your students at the school.

Mr. Zuo.

When we were at the pier,

I must have said something wrong...

and insulted you. Please let me know.

I am a nobody.

So what if you have offended me?

Okay.

No matter what I did wrong,

I am at fault.

You went to Songjiang because of me.

I am indebted to you but I have offended you.

That is a huge mistake.

I would like to apologise to you.

You don't even know what you did wrong.

And you didn't bother to find out.

Why is that?

Are you saying that a mistake is only a mistake...

and everything can be solved by a bow?

Am I right?

Well...

Mr. Zuo, Yuan Jia is sincere.

You shouldn't make things difficult for him.

-What? -We are here to see Mr. Rong.

Please inform him.

How dare you?

You should know whose residence this is.

You don't get to call the shots.

But we're not.

You are just the butler,

yet you are being unreasonable.

You are embarrassing Mr. Rong.

-You! -How dare you?

Jin Sun, stop talking.

Mr. Zuo.

I have prepared a present...

to thank Mr. Rong for saving me.

Please inform him that I am here.

What present is that?

Tea leaves.

It's such a thoughtful gift.

I suppose your wife prepared it.

You are right.

Both of you are insensible.

I didn't think you'd prepare a present to thank Mr. Rong.

Huo Yuan Jia.

Mr. Rong said that...

you don't have to thank him.

You should thank your wife.

Mr. Rong saved you...

because of your wife.

You want a beating?

Yuan Jia!

What are you doing?

He is so arrogant.

He doesn't deserve the present.

You said that you offended Mr. Zuo.

What happened?

I am unsure of it.

After sending you back to Songjiang,

I bumped into Mr. Zuo at the pier.

He had prepared two carts and said he was there to pick me up.

However, for some reason,

he started acted strangely.

It is odd.

He was different when he was in Songjiang.

Could someone be secretly...

inciting Mr. Rong against Elite Martial Arts?

But why?

Don't forget that the jianghu is dangerous.

We have to see Mr. Rong no matter what.

We'll clear the air face to face.

Elite Martial Arts is operating in Shanghai.

We must not be at odds with him.

But he refused to see us.

How do we meet him?

No worries.

Rong Residence is busy during day time.

I know what to do...

when it's night.

Mr. Zuo, Huo Yuan Jia...

Are you serious?

Which hospital is Huo Yuan Jia's mother at?

Huang and the gang will come only at night.

My hands are itching to play.

Mr. Rong.

I...

I made a mistake.

What's wrong?

I heard from someone that...

after getting down from the ship, Huo Yuan Jia...

didn't come and visit you first...

because his mother has fallen sick.

She is severely sick.

She passed out a few times.

I heard she has become blind.

Now, she is at St. John Hospital.

Mr. Rong, I know you well.

Under this circumstance,

we shouldn't find fault with him.

It's all my fault.

I didn't inquire properly.

And...

And I passed you the wrong message.

I am too careless.

I don't find fault with anyone.

Mr. Zuo.

It seems that Huo Yuan Jia is indeed a rare talent.

Not only is he an expert in martial arts, he is also a man of good character.

He is also a filial son.

Go.

Prepare a present.

I shall pay Huo Yuan Jia's mother a visit.

Yes.

[Show your strength]

Madam.

Are you going to the hospital?

I thought you're going at night to replace Aunt.

I am worried that...

she doesn't like the Western-style meals.

Hence, I cooked some soup for her.

-I'll get you a car. -Okay.

[Fusheng Supermarket]

[St. John Hospital]

Mister, I don't know you.

[Prevent Disease] [Keep quiet]

I can't simply let you in.

I won't go into the ward.

I have prepared some presents for Huo Yuan Jia's mother.

Please accept the present, sister.

You addressed me as sister?

Yes.

Aren't you Huo Yuan Jia's sister-in-law?

You're a friend of Yuan Jia?

I know Mr. Huo.

However, I am closer with his wife.

Don't do that.

It's not proper.

-Sister, please accept it. -Mr. Rong.

What are you doing here?

Mrs. Huo.

I heard that your mother-in-law is sick.

I came to pay her a visit.

However, your sister-in-law doesn't know me.

She refused to accept the present.

Sister, it would be disrespectful to turn down Mr. Rong's present.

Please accept the present on behalf of mother.

Thank you.

Thank you for the present, Mr. Rong.

Please come in.

No, I shouldn't disturb the old madam.

I shall leave now.

I shall send you off.

Xiao Lian.

I cooked some soup.

-Give it to madam while it's hot. -Okay.

This way, please.

[St. John Hospital]

-Please leave. -Okay.

Mrs. Huo.

Can we talk in private?

Sure, Mr. Rong.

[Keep quiet]

Yuan Jia, you are back.

-Did you see your wife? -No.

She went to send Mr. Rong off. She just left.

Mr. Rong?

These presents are from Mr. Rong.

I didn't want to accept the presents as they are too expensive.

However, Yun Ying insisted me to accept the presents.

Yuan Jia, you are here.

Mother, are you feeling better?

I bought you some snacks.

I don't have the appetite.

I like Yun Ying's soup the most.

I will have some soup.

You did Yuan Jia a great deed.

He should have paid you a visit after he reached Shanghai.

It's reasonable that Mr. Zuo is mad at him.

After knowing the reason,

you decided to forgive Yuan Jia.

You are an understanding man.

But personally making a hospital visit...

We can't afford such honour.

Don't say that.

I am two years elder than Yuan Jia.

I intend to become sworn brothers with Mr. Huo.

We will become a family soon.

Don't be so polite.

Yuan Jia is not worthy.

What's wrong?

Are you turning me down for your husband?

You think I'm not good enough.

I wouldn't dare.

To be frank,

the moment I saw you at my place, I already knew.

Yuan Jia is just a martial artist.

But he is broad-minded and ambitious.

It must be because...

he married a great woman.

If I am not mistaken,

you have the power to decide on most affairs of the school.

Well...

Just admit it.

Anyone who marries a great woman like you...

will become obedient.

How about this?

Just take me as your brother.

Then, Huo Yuan Jia will become my brother too.

I am even more unworthy.

Besides, Yuan Jia takes Elite Martial Arts very seriously.

He treats it as his lifelong career.

I have no say in it.

I don't believe.

Why is she taking so long to send off the guest?

Granny.

Sister.

You said that Mr. Rong sent us some presents?

Did you mistake him as someone else?

No way. Xiao Lian saw him too.

During the fight,

didn't Mr. Rong sit at the second floor?

Mr. Rong is quite high-spirited.

He said that he knows you...

but he is close with Yun Ying.

That's true.

I told her to go to Rong Residence...

to seek help from Mr. Rong.

Mr. Rong is very generous.

Look, he sent us many gifts.

How much do you think these cost?

All right.

I won't force you to call me brother.

When Yuan Jia and I become sworn brothers,

you will have to call me brother then.

Please convey my message to Yuan Jia.

Also, tell him...

not to be mad at Mr. Zuo.

Find a day...

and pay us a visit.

Thank you, Mr. Rong.

You don't have to be so polite.

I'll go now.

[Keep quiet.]

[St. John Hospital]

Yuan Jia, when did you come?

Yuan Jia!

[Tolerance]

Mother, you're back.

Dong Jue, where is your father?

He's in the study.

He seems angry. I am scared.

Don't worry.

Get out!

Yuan Jia, I think you have misunderstood.

I saw it with my own eyes.

How is that a misunderstanding?

Yuan Jia.

When you were in danger in Songjiang,

you told Zhen Sheng to inform me about it.

That's why I sought help from Mr. Rong.

He has promiscuous relations with women.

It's known by everyone in Shanghai.

I have nothing to do with him!

I am innocent.

Don't you dare accuse me.

You two were in public...

and you let him touch you.

How is that false accusation?

I didn't do that.

He told me to leave...

but went to the hospital to see you.

What a close relationship.

Looks like Rong is trying to humiliate me.

If this can be tolerated,

what can not?

Yuan Jia.

You have misunderstood.

Mr. Rong went to visit Mother out of goodwill.

He intends to become sworn brothers with you.

Shut up!

My sworn brother is Big Sword Wang Wu!

He is a well known hero!

Rong is just a despicable man who is chasing after a married woman.

He doesn't deserve to be my sworn brother!

He can stop dreaming!

I won't forgive him.

Yuan Jia.

You can falsely accuse me,

but if you kill the wrong person...

and get indicted,

then no one can save you from trouble.

I am indomitable.

You have no right to teach me a lesson.

Go away!

Yuan Jia.

Your mother is still sick.

How could you still drink?

I have something important to do tonight.

I shouldn't be drinking right now.

I shall stop drinking.

-Waiter! -I am coming!

Please bring us two bowls of noodles.

All right, please wait for a moment.

Are you serious about bringing me to Rong Residence at night?

Of course.

It is just a private residence.

It is not a palace.

Nor Yama's dwelling.

Even if he is the king of hell, I am not afraid of him.

Well said.

Have some.

Who are you?

How dare you come to Rong Residence?

Are you blind? Or are you making a dead wish?

I didn't know that this is Rong Residence.

That's great!

We have come to the right place.

When Mr. Rong was in difficulty,

I helped him out.

I came to Shanghai...

because we were struck by disaster.

We are at our wits' end.

Considering the favour we did for Mr. Rong before,

we're hoping he'd help us.

-You helped Mr. Rong before? -Yes.

Let me think about it.

Yes, it was the second year of Guangxu.

-What is your surname? -My surname is Yan.

Yan as in King of Hell.

I am sure that Mr. Rong remembers me.

Did you really help Mr. Rong out?

Of course.

I was young back then. I was only about ten years old.

Mr. Rong used to call me Little Saviour.

Come in.

Please.

Hey.

Take a seat and have some tea.

You'll have to wait.

Mr. Rong is playing mahjong.

I will be waiting there and inform him when I can.

Thank you.

By the way,

don't go anywhere.

This is a big house, you might get lost.

Yes.

South wind.

South wind.

Six myriad.

Rong, I heard that you went to the hospital.

How did you know?

Everything about you,

be it the restaurant that you visited...

or where you played mahjong...

or the whereabouts of your horse cart...

are news in Shanghai.

Mr. Zuo.

Bring some tea for Mr. Huang.

No need.

My cup is still full.

Fill it!

I am right.

Mr. Zuo,

you can no longer keep secrets.

Mr. Rong.

You are so great.

You guessed right.

I talked nonsense.

You can't blame Mr. Zuo.

I reached early and you were not at home.

That's why I asked him.

So what if I went to the hospital?

Four sticks!

Pong! I win!

Two circles.

In Shanghai,

reputation is the most important thing.

Huo Yuan Jia is just a kung fu coach who came from a village.

Yet you personally visited his mother at the hospital.

Aren't you giving him too much face?

He is a talent.

I always seek talent with eagerness.

Of course I have to give him face.

A kung fu coach is not a talent.

Martial arts can never defeat guns.

Mr. Rong.

You are aiming for something else, aren't you?

He is right. I heard about it too.

Huo Yuan Jia's wife is a beauty.

She also came alone to see you.

Mr. Rong might not give Huo Yuan Jia face...

but he would certainly...

give face to a beauty.

Mr. Rong is still untrammelled and romantic in character.

That is really admirable.

That is really admirable. He still has the charisma despite age.

I win!

It's a complete sequence from one to nine.

Rong, you are so cruel.

It's time to pay.

It's just a game...

yet you take it so seriously.

Let's go home.

-Let's go. -No.

Mr. Rong,

why are you pulling a long face?

Every time when one of us win big in the game,

we would forget about it.

It's getting late.

Let's go for supper.

I said no.

I have added some money.

Leave after the ledger is cleared.

Mr. Rong, if you may...

How dare you!

Well...

Guys.

I'm going to tell you...

why I'm upset.

Yes.

No doubt I was known for my frivolous ways when I was younger.

But that's in the past.

If you make fun of other women,

I would forget it.

But Mrs. Huo is an exception.
