Mr. Shen,

let me walk you out.

Well,

how is your injury?

I'm fine.

The things I owed the Wen family

are much more than that one palm.

Then,

where are you going?

I need to find Xiaolian first.

I'm worried about her so much
for her long disappearance.

Don't worry.

My master has said that

Mr. Gao destroyed the Glazed Armor
at the Heroes Conference

to protect you.

The people who kidnapped Xiaolian
wouldn't hurt her.

I hope so.

She's the only child of Gao Chong.

If I can't protect her…

Chengling,

I'm glad that you can be a disciple

of the Four Seasons Manor.

My brothers and I have owed

the Wen family a lot.

You must be obedient

and loyal to your masters.

Make it up to them for us.

All right, Mr. Shen.

If I find Xiaolian,

I'll arrange for her
to join the Mount Dagu Sect.

It's just that…

If I die one day,

please take care of Xiaolian

whether you marry her or not.

If it's possible,

please shelter her
under the Four Seasons Manor.

She has no one to rely on.

All right?

Sure, I would have taken good care of her
even if you didn't ask me to.

Good boy.

I'm leaving.

Take care.

LI RESIDENCE

LI RESIDENCE

He hasn't woken up yet?

No.

Gu Xiang,

did Wen Kexing vomit blood
and fall into a coma like this before?

No,

but when I was a child

Master was always in bed
because of an illness,

but not anymore when I grew up.

When did you begin to serve him?

I've been serving Master

as early as I can remember.

Then…

When did he get there?

Where?

It's nothing.

Get some rest, little girl.
I'll look after him.

No, I want to be with Master.

Are you ignoring Young Hero Cao

who doesn't eat or drink,
but stays here for you?

Why should I care about him?
My master is more important.

Good girl,

just get some rest.

I'm here.

All right.

If Master wakes up, tell me immediately.

It's my mistake.

Please give me a lesson again, Chief.

That's right.

You need to know
that this is the Ghost Valley.

It's not just any valley,

but one full of venomous worms.

Only the most vicious and powerful one
who can defeat them all

can survive.

In this very charnel place,

the only way to survive

is to kill.

All humans are afraid of pain,
yet you're not.

And you enjoy it.

Then you'll live and they'll die.

Kexing, you have stayed in the valley
since you were a child.

It's very difficult for you

to survive and become such a talent.

I'm willing to train you
because I have faith in you.

I'm grateful for this
and will never forget your kindness.

Good.

It's all up to your own luck

whether you can be the next king,

the head of evil.

Wen Kexing, you're awake?

Zhou Xu.

You've been in a coma for a day and night.

Try to use your internal breath.

I don't dare
to prescribe medicine randomly

as your pulse is normal.

It's not a big deal.

My internal breath might have gone awry.

Where is Shen Shen?

I have chased him away.

Why?

Although he is

muddleheaded and selfish,

he still doesn't deserve to die
for he was deceived by others.

He and his brothers

have been tortured
by their conscience all these years.

Conscience?

Zhou Zishu, do you really think
everyone has a conscience?

Since Shen Shen had the nerve
to ask me where my parents were,

I should've killed him
so he could meet them in the netherworld.

Wen Kexing, the guilty one is Zhao Jing

who poisoned your parents.

The rest of them had their reasons.

You are telling me
that no one can avoid suffering.

Didn't my parents have theirs?

Can the bad be forgiven
for those so-called reasons,

while the good deserve to die?

If you want to be a saint, go ahead.

I'd rather be the head of evil
and be trapped in hell after death forever

than be bullied this way.

Wen Kexing,

I'm sorry.

It's your personal grudge.

I shouldn't have made
the decisions for you.

I'm sorry.

I just don't want to see
more sins in your hands.

Forget it.

If I kill Shen Shen in person,

it may be a chance for him
to atone for his sins with his life.

That's too easy on him.

Just let him live

and watch those bastards
of the Five Lake Alliance…

When you're fully recovered,

I'll go with you
to seek revenge on Zhao Jing.

I'm fine,

just a little thirsty.

Hurry up and serve me.

Should I give you liquor instead?

Even if we need to go,
we should wait until you're cured.

The people of the Five Lake Alliance
talk about virtue, morality, and all,

but in fact,
they're just a bunch of traitors.

However, the current chief of the alliance
is a ruthless ruffian.

It's not retribution.

Watching the dogfight
between these awful people,

I'm more delighted
than killing them by myself.

Master!

Master, you scared the hell out of me.

-You're so noisy.
-Master, how are you?

Are you still feeling dizzy or hungry?
Shall I cook for you?

I only think you're too noisy right now.

I'll leave you two here.

I have to check whether
Chengling has finished cooking.

Master, you…

It's due to the Soup of Oblivion.

You won't fail me

and I won't fail you.

Zhao Jing.

-Master.
-Zhao Jing.

Master.

Zhao Jing.

There are many people
called Zhao Jing in this world.

Maybe this woman doesn't mean him.

-Maybe it's just a coincidence.
-…I won't fail you.

But if it was indeed
just a misunderstanding,

why did Father rush
to send Lustful Ghost to kill them all?

Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing.

You won't fail me

and I won't fail you.

Zhao Jing.

What are you going to do?

What can you do?

I just want to examine her pulse.

Move away.

Do you want me to kill you too?

Did she become like this

because of the Soup of Oblivion?

No.

The Soup can only let people forget
the things they're most obsessed with.

But it does no harm to the mind.

My master has an uncured illness.

It's possible that someone provoked her,
so the soul-dissociation has relapsed.

That's why.

"Forget the things
they're most obsessed with"?

-So the thing she wants to forget
-You won't fail me

-and I won't fail you.
-is the person who failed her.

How can we cure this?

You won't fail me

-and I won't fail you.
-Pardon me, Scorpion King.

I didn't drink the Soup of Oblivion.

I didn't volunteer
to join the Ghost Valley,

but I had no other options.

My master saved me
and took me back to Mount Qingya

when I wanted to kill myself.

So the valley's chief made an exception
for me mercifully.

You're the one
who should drink the Soup of Oblivion.

-What is the exception for?
-Because I thought

I wouldn't make the same mistake

if I remembered everything.

Since you remember it as you wish,

why did you go back to Yu Qiufeng again?

Have you ever seen
those always-losing gamblers?

The more they lose,

-…and I won't fail you.
-the more they want to gamble.

Giving all your love to another person

is the biggest bet.

I bet on the wrong person.

I thought I could lose
my life to him outright.

However, my master saved me.

I've lived a few more years
in a half-ghostly way.

Actually, the moment
when Lustful Ghost came to kill him,

I was thinking of dying for him

and just losing everything.

But who could expect that

God let me win this time?

Idiot.

How did the Ghost Valley

raise a person like you?

Department of the Unfaithful.

Why do you call it that?

Because my master said,

since ancient times, men are unfaithful
and women are ill-fated.

She wants to redress the scales
for all the women

who have been failed

and kill every unfaithful man.

Being unfaithful is human nature.

It's not about gender.

It's ridiculous.

Who doesn't fail anyone

and isn't failed by others?

Your life is too miserable.

I don't want it anymore.

Now,

I'll give you an opportunity.

If you're willing to pledge loyalty to me,

I'll give whatever you want,

including Yu Qiufeng.

I don't care how you do it.

Find the recipe of the Soup of Oblivion
and hand it to me.

I'll set you free.

Master, you were only seven or eight
years old when you joined the Valley.

Why did you still drink
the Soup of Oblivion?

Some people didn't want me
to recall something.

It's a pity that I let them down.

But how could you still remember
after drinking it?

It's a blood feud that I can never forget.

It was only a bowl of Soup of Oblivion.

Even if I was broken into pieces
and burnt to ashes,

I would climb back from hell step by step

and take revenge on them.

When I was little,

I often had strong headaches,
vomited blood, and fell into comas.

It's the price of fighting against
the Soup of Oblivion with my mind.

I haven't had a relapse for a long time.

Recently, the past
has been mentioned frequently.

It might have influenced me a little.

One day,

I may be tortured to madness
by this headache.

But before that day comes,

all my enemies

will have to die ahead of me.

Don't be afraid.

Before the arrival of that day,

I'll make a proper arrangement for you.

What am I afraid of? I'm just angry.

Master, I was brought up by you.

Why didn't you tell me
that you have these things in your mind?

I would have tried my best to help you.

I don't need your help.

Let me ask you, Gu Xiang.

Do you really love Cao Weining?

Master, what are you talking about?

I'm talking to you seriously.

-Don't divert--
-Answer me. If you say no,

I'll kill him.

Master…

It's a yes then.

If you love him,

return to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect
with him tomorrow.

Mo Huaiyang is skilled in martial arts

and he's a crafty old scoundrel.

He wouldn't let his sect
get involved in the turmoil.

You'll be safe there.

Master,

are you leaving me?

Silly girl,

the way I've chosen is a way to hell.

You were a lost soul
that entered the Ghost Valley mistakenly.

You have a chance to return
to the human world now.

Why are you still following me?

Speaking of Cao Weining,

although I don't like him in many ways,

fortunately, he can be manipulated easily.

Just go back to the human world with him.

Live a normal life.

I don't think he will make any big moves.

Master,

there's one thing I haven't told you yet.

I'm with Cao Weining

because he said

Gao Chong might have handed
the Glazed Armor

to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

I stayed with him

because I want to figure out

the location
of the Glazed Armor for you, Master.

But…

But I…

I don't know why…

I…

I developed a relationship with him.

Please, Master.

Could you please spare
the Gentle Wind Sword Sect?

I'm sorry, Master.

I know I shouldn't say this.

But…

But I don't want him to hate me.

He…

He has nothing to do with me.

But I…

I just don't want anything
to happen to him.

It's all right.

Such a trivial thing
doesn't deserve so many tears.

However, Master,

I'm afraid.

Everyone says

that ghosts and humans go separate ways.

I'm different from Weining.

All I know

is how to kill and hurt people,

and how to prevent others from hurting me.

I even approached him

with malicious intentions.

He's nice to me now

only because I'm hiding them well.

When he knows my true identity one day,

he will be considered merciful

if he doesn't kill me with a broadsword.

How dare him?

If he dares to fail you,

I'll kill his whole family.

Master.

I'm the one failing him,

not the other way around.

Master, I'm so afraid.

I think

the nicer he treats me,

the more imaginary I feel all things are.

It's like the snowman you made for me.

When the sun came out,

it melted.

Didn't I make a few more for you later?

Don't cry.

But I just like the first one.

No matter how big and nice
the snowmen you made later,

they still couldn't compare

with the one you made with me
the first time.

Master, think about it.

If one day,

Zhou Xu knows your identity,

will you kill him
and find another new friend?

That's enough, Gu Xiang.

Don't forget
you're the Heartless Amethyst Fiend.

You've only been with humans for a while.
How could you be so sentimental?

How could I forget about it?

An ugly daughter-in-law can still
meet her parents-in-law.

But the Heartless Amethyst Fiend
of the Ghost Valley

can't be exposed to light.

All right,

I've decided.

Listen to me.

You grew up in the Ghost Valley

and have little experience
living in the martial arts world.

They won't find out your identity.
You can hide it from him forever.

I promise you

I won't do anything
to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

Don't get involved in any business

of the Ghost Valley.

If I don't contact you,

just stay in Mount Qingfeng.

Well, then…

You don't need the Glazed Armor anymore?

No, I don't.

The Glazed Armor

is just a cover.

Mr. Wen, you're awake?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Come with me.

I need to have a word with you.

Mr. Wen and Weining, don't leave.

I don't know how to cook.

Mr. Wen,

why did you call me out?

I…

When I was a kid myself,

I brought Gu Xiang back from the street.

The first time I fed her porridge,

I scalded her mouth.

Back then, we stayed

in a very inhuman place

where I couldn't even take care of myself.

I didn't want to bring
this encumbrance with me.

I thought about
throwing her away several times.

This little girl

could hardly say anything at that time.

But like a little creature
struggling to survive,

she followed me everywhere.

Even though her mouth was scalded,

she still smiled at me,

for fear of being left alone by me.

Gu Xiang already told me that.

I know.

She has suffered a lot.

It's hard for her

to not grow up to be bad
when having a bad example like me.

Gu Xiang is actually not my servant.

I saved her,

so she said she was grateful

and wanted to serve me when she grows up.

That's why.

In fact…

LI RESIDENCE

…I didn't realize it until now.

It wasn't me who saved her,

but it was her who saved me.

Without this little girl around me

warming my heart,

I…

After saying so much,

all I want to tell you

is that Gu Xiang
is like a little sister to me.

She, if I may say so,

is like a daughter to me

as I brought her up.

In my whole life,

not many people have been kind to me.

For those few people,

I'll repay their kindness with my life.

And Gu Xiang is one of them.

In the past,

there were some things

that I didn't dare to dream of.

They were beyond me.

But now,

they seem to be closer.

I want her to have a better life.

I hope she can live

a happy life as a normal person.

Cao Weining,

can you give that to her?

Yes, of course.

Although I can't provide her
with great fortune,

-I can still--
-I'm not asking for great fortune.

Take her back to
the Gentle Wind Sword Sect tomorrow.

But I need you to promise me

that you'll never betray her.

No matter what happens,

you'll protect her, take care of her,

make her happy, and keep her safe.

Can you do that?

I know, Mr. Wen.

Don't worry.

Today, I swear in front of you.

Heaven and earth, please be my witnesses.

I, Cao Weining, in my whole life,

from now until death,

including every second,

will never fail Gu Xiang.

Otherwise, I'll be abandoned
by all gods and devils.

Don't be overconfident about yourself.

After all, you've only known
each other for a short time.

She might not be the person you imagined.

I didn't mean to push you to swear.

But since you did this today,

don't think that gods
and devils are only in tales.

If you fail Gu Xiang in the future,

I'll be the first to cut you into pieces.

I understand. I know her.

Getting to know a person
doesn't depend on the duration.

When I first met her,

I wanted to treat her well my whole life.

Since I got what I wished for today,

I couldn't be happier.

If I indeed fail her later,

I'll kill myself

before you ask me to.

All right, remember what you said.

If you don't keep your word,

I won't let you get away with it easily
even if I am dead.

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

LI RESIDENCE

What kind of "father-in-law" are you?

Aren't you afraid
that he would send her back?

You were eavesdropping.

I did not.

I didn't hide at all.

Weining, if your father-in-law

is mean to you, I'll handle him for you.

You just need to treat Gu Xiang well.

All right, we will leave tomorrow.
I'll make some preparations.

Your son-in-law is nice,

but why are you in a rush

to send Gu Xiang away?

Don't you worry
that his family won't welcome her?

How dare they?

Wen Kexing,

why are you entrusting Gu Xiang
to others in such a hurry?

I have someone caring for me,

so I'm into matchmaking now.

I want to give her a proper arrangement,

leave the martial arts world,

and live a tranquil life with you.

Philanthropist Wen,

please be kind and be my matchmaker too.

Mr. Wen,

don't take Weining away for too long.

I don't know how to cook.

What should I do if the pot is burnt?

He went down the mountain
to buy good food.

You don't need to cook.

See?

Forget about the tranquil life.

With this little brat,

we'll only have chaotic days.

Zhou Xu, is this liquor or vinegar?

How could you drink something
as awful as this?

Where can I get good liquor

in this backcountry?

You might as well make do with it.

When we're at the Four Seasons Manor,

I'll dig out the good liquor that I buried

in the plum forest for you.

Master, there is a plum forest
in our manor?

There's not only a plum forest.

People of the martial arts world
praise our manor with a phrase.

"Spring is constant in all four seasons,
knowing everything in the world."

TO ZHAO JING,
CHIEF OF THE FIVE LAKES ALLIANCE

Father.

Xie'er, you came at the right time.

You took care of the Xianxia Sect nicely.

Those people deliberately set free
by Pretty Arhat

ran all the way to Mount Song.

They knelt before the front door

of the Shaolin Temple
for three days and nights

to ask Ci Mu to uphold justice for them.

Guess what Ci Mu did then?

He couldn't bear it anymore.

He's calling on all sects to crusade
against the Ghost Valley.

"Chief Zhao, please join us then.

With sincere regards."

Father, what do you say?

I have nothing to say.

These sects are all hypocrites.

Back then,

they just stood aside and watched

when the Ghost Valley was against us.

Now they know what it feels like.

It's not that easy
to invite the Five Lakes Alliance

to be a part of this.

If they want me to participate,

they need to show their sincerity.

Father, I don't understand.

Son,

you're still too young
and have little experience.

It was the same for Gao Chong

and he didn't understand this
all his life.

Think about it.

Among the bad things Ghost Valley did,

most of them were against us

except for some smaller ones.

But why did Gao Chong choose to hold
the lame Heroes Conference at that time?

Those who attended it were all nobodies.

They were there just for fun.

None of the leaders of the famous sects

attended it.

You're right.

The leaders

of the eight major sects didn't attend.

The Changming Sword Immortal only sent

one disciple to the event.

So my son,

these famous and orthodox sects
in the martial arts world

are either blinded by gain and greed
or aiming at fame and credit only.

They want to get the most benefits.

If you want them to fight

against the Ghost Valley together,
it'll only work

with both the name of justice
and possible benefit.

So you need to make a big cake

and put justice and benefits into it

to attract these sects.

Good boy, eat more until you're full

so you can carry my Gu Xiang.

Behave yourself.

Who is yours?

LI RESIDENCE

Xiao Hong and Da Hong.

Choose one and leave then.

I've prepared the food and water for you.

We need to say goodbye here.

Gu Xiang, why are you still angry at me?

I'm not.

I'm my master's servant,

so I'll follow him for sure.

Just go back
to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

Gu Xiang, I was wrong.

Please don't be angry.

Who says you're wrong?

You're the young hero of a famous sect.

I'm just a wild girl.

We are not the same kind of people.

Who says you're a wild girl?

Mr. Wen.

Master.

Aren't you my servant?

Does that mean I am a wild person?

Cao Weining,
do you have your purse with you?

Yes, I do.

I don't want this servant anymore.

I can sell her to you
for three maces of silver.

If you want her, give me the money.

Also, you can't regret it after the trade.

Master, you're a bastard.

See? This unruly servant
is bullying her master.

-I--
-How can I keep her anymore?

How about this?
I'll give you a 50% discount.

One and a half maces of silver.
It isn't expensive.

Zhou Xu is so capable,

but he is worth
only three maces of silver.

What are you laughing at?

Zhou Xu, talk some sense into him!

I'm sorry, I can't.

If you can't, then who can?

You're still so fierce.

I'll give her to you for free.
I don't need her.

Just take her.

Mr. Wen.

With God witnessing,

I've never seen Gu Xiang

as a servant.

Thank you for believing in me
and entrusting her to me.

After telling my master,

I'll prepare the dowry

and a proper marriage

without missing a single step.

Dowry?

Shouldn't it be prepared
by the bride's family?

What do you know?

Gu Xiang.

LI RESIDENCE

Xie'er, help me compile
a book of the ghosts.

Distribute it throughout
the martial arts world.

We have allied with each other.
Why are we going back on our word?

Father, if you distribute it to everyone
in the martial arts world,

it'll leave them with no choice.

If that's the case,

how can I ask them
to do things for us later?

Xie'er, the Shaolin Temple
has come forward.

It is a perfect opportunity.

Besides,

what is the use of this gang of ghosts?

The traps are all set.

All we need to do
is drive the prey into them.

Do you still not understand?

Since we want
to wipe out the Ghost Valley,

who are we going to kill
if the ghosts are outside?

Once they lose my protection,

where can they even move a step

in this martial arts world?

So you mean

you're taking away their choices

and forcing them to go back
to the Ghost Valley?

But Father,

what if they bad-mouth us
when they get out?

Who will believe them?

Besides,

Gao Chong's collusion
with the Ghost Valley is unresolved.

It's still pending up to now.

Though people don't mention it now,

it still has a bad influence on us

to a certain extent.

So at this time,

I'm hoping that these bad guys
have dogfights among them.

We'll take the opportunity
to get one of them to testify for us.

The Ghost Valley
split the martial arts world

by framing the Five Lakes Alliance.

We are the ones who were wronged.

By the time our name is cleared,

Gao Chong won't be able to see it.

Then all sects

would be very embarrassed.

I'll lead them
to eradicate the Ghost Valley.

I'll get both the power
and the reputation,

in addition to the guilt from all sects.

If an election of the chief
comes at this time,

who else could it be except for me?

Father,

how could you be so smart?

Even if Zhuge Liang
is brought back to life,

he will be so ashamed
to compare himself with you.

You're indeed glib-tongued.

You know how to make me happy.

How could my little tricks

compare to those of the ancient sage?

It's just that we haven't heard
from Lustful Ghost until now.

Technically,

Yu Qiufeng is no match for him.

He must have hidden away
after sensing that something was wrong.

It doesn't matter.

Now, all sects are helping me
to search for you.

Let's see where you can hide.
