THE PRODUCTION OF SHAW BROTHERS (HK) LTD.

Help!

Don't even think about running away!

Keep running.

Come here.

So pretty.

Help!

Stop!

Let go of me!

What a loser.

Watch me.

Help!

What's going on?

-Are you going to talk or not? -I'II talk.

We were just passing by.

Our leader noticed that there were two pretty girls here, so we...

Enough.

I get it.

Where are you from? What crime have you committed recently?

-We didn't commit any crime. -Say it!

We just visited Zhao Village.

-Who were you looking for? -Zhao Bai Cang.

Why were you looking for him?

We were after a saber.

-A saber? -Yes.

Where is Zhao Bai Chang?

-He's dead. -Why did they kill him?

-What did they want? -They were after...

-Deer Saber. -Deer Saber?

Who is behind this?

Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

CO-STARRING: LEI JUN, LUO BIN, TIAN MING,

HUANG JUN, BAI LIN, KE YOU MIN

It's a sneak attack!

Don't make any sudden moves.

Even the young master of Jinyan Escort Agency

has stooped to the level of running secret missions.

You have a sharp eye.

You actually recognize me.

If you wish to rob the escort, it won't be hard.

Show your weapon.

Who are you?

No wonder you don't recognize me.

I am Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Scatter!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Since we're after the same thing, we should split what we find.

The carriage is mine,

the dead bodies are yours.

I didn't expect anyone would dare to make a move against me, Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Do you think you're worthy of impersonating Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Get lost!

Go!

Impersonating Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Hey, buddy.

We're approaching the mountains.

-Let's stop and rest for a while. -0kay.

Impressive skills.

Doctor Fei, not only is your lightness technique unmatched,

but even your finger technique is extraordinary.

Si Niang, what brings you inside Shanhai Pass?

Where are these two people from?

I've roamed the martial world and killed many people throughout my life.

Do I need to explain their origins?

There's just one thing I don't understand.

What is it?

Why have you been following me clay and night?

Let's be frank.

I, Feng Si Niang, have a favor to ask of you.

A favor to ask of me?

It's too late.

Why?

Who did this?

It was Shi Yi Lang.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Xiao Shi Yi Lang again.

I never expected

so many people to impersonate Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Shi Yi Lang, it's been a long time.

Feng Si Niang, you're as radiant as ever. How delightful!

It's just a shame

I'm still unmarried.

What are you talking about?

Who in the martial world doesn't know how beautiful you are?

But aside from me, Xiao Shi Yi Lang, no one else dares to marry you.

If you keep talking like that,

and if I really don't get married,

I might just cling to you.

Your affection is all I could wish for, Si Niang.

If you're being insincere, I'II peel your skin.

Don't scare me like that.

Si Niang, I need to ask you about someone.

Who?

The Happy King from beyond the pass,

Xuanyuan Wu Di.

Why are you asking about him?

I've met the old man.

You've met him?

What's so strange about that?

This sword was a gift from him.

I heard he plans to cross the pass and dominate the martial world.

Indeed. Beyond the pass, his martial arts are unrivaled,

and he has gathered many powerful warriors under him.

What's more shameful is that his ambition still burns strong despite his age.

What do you mean?

He asked me to be his seventh wife.

You must've agreed then.

Would you be happy if I became his concubine?

I was just teasing you.

Why do you take it so seriously?

Have you forgotten my temper?

I remember.

Whenever you have something good, you can't resist showing it off to me.

Good sword, truly a good sword.

There's nothing else like it, not in heaven or on earth.

You have a way with words.

But don't be mad at me

for pointing this sword at you.

Hey, why would I be angry?

To be honest, Si Niang, this sword is quite impressive.

But I don't want this sword.

Why?

Because there's a saber that's even more powerful than this sword.

What saber?

Deer Saber.

Deer Saber?

I've heard of it.

That treasure was lost and recovered,

but Zhao Bai Cang was killed,

and the saber disappeared again.

No one would've expected that the saber was secretly returned to Xu Lu Zi.

Everyone knows that whoever possesses that saber

will be the greatest hero of the martial world.

It's a fine saber,

but unfortunately, it's in Xu Lu Zi's hands.

No, it's in the hands of Flying Eagle and Zhao Tai Ji.

How did it end up in their hands?

Xu Lu Zi entrusted them to escort the saber across the pass.

Zhao Tai Ji is known as the Hero of Central Plains.

His 81 moves of Tai Ji Swordsmanship are unmatched.

And Flying Eagle...

Her 18 styles of Flying Eagle are equally masterful.

These two are not to be trifled with.

Do you know who they intend to give the Deer Saber to?

Who?

Master Lian, Lian Cheng Bi.

Why?

They want Lian Cheng Bi to eliminate a notorious thief from the martial world.

And who might this thief be?

You.

Me?

I didn't expect that I'd become the notorious thief of the martial world.

Will you do me a favor?

Just tell me what you need, Si Niang.

I want that Deer Saber.

I want you to get it for me.

No wonder you've been looking for me.

You came here on your own.

Getting that saber will serve two purposes.

First, I'II owe you a favor.

Second, you'll save yourself in the process.

JUXIAN RESTAURANT

GAOSHENG INN

NOODLE

Hey.

Lian Cheng Bi is staying in the town. What do you think?

Come, let me treat you to a bowl of beef noodles.

Come.

Wherever you go, I'll follow.

I'm determined to get that Deer Saber.

Don't even think of slipping away.

Please have a seat.

Come.

Please, enjoy.

Enjoy the food.

Thank you.

Master Lian,

Miss Shen,

it's just a modest token of appreciation.

Please, enjoy.

My cousin and I are almost drunk.

Isn't that right, Cousin Cheng Bi?

Master Zhang, you have quite the tolerance. Have another drink.

It would be rude to refuse.

Master Lian, I'II finish this up.

-Come and drink. -Come and drink.

Cheers.

Auntie, you didn't even drink it.

Master Lian.

-The folks are worried about something. -What is it?

They fear that the thief Xiao Shi Yi Lang could strike at any moment.

Don't mention it.

They're not wrong.

I've stolen 10000 taels from a few wealthy families,

and the 200000 taels from the Golden Lion Escort Agency.

That's why impostors pretending to be Xiao Shi Yi Lang have sprung up as well.

Why go through the trouble of robbing the rich to help the poor?

You left the stolen money by the river

to help disaster victims,

yet here you are, broke and eating beef noodles.

For that insight, I must say you're not truly my confidant.

Everyone has their own path.

I've dealt with those fake Xiao Shi Yi Langs.

For instance, Quicksaber Hua Ping, Doctor Fei, and others...

Enough.

Right now, both the righteous and underworld are hunting you down.

They won't rest until you're dead.

Don't you realize the danger you're in?

I'm aware.

First, I'll get the Deer Saber for you,

then you can collect my corpse.

-Another bowl, please. -Su re.

We won't just stand by and do nothing.

Whether Xiao Shi Yi Lang is a thief

or a scoundrel who preys on women,

it doesn't matter.

Sooner or later, my cousin and I will find him.

However,

you have too much money.

It's only natural to worry.

You can hire more guards if you wish.

My cousin isn't necessarily inclined to protect you.

Miss Shen, you can't say that.

If the Master Lian protects us, he's protecting himself too.

Doesn't he have his own fortune to safeguard?

But my cousin is different from all of you.

He doesn't care much for wealth.

My cousin sometimes speaks too bluntly.

Please don't take offense.

Wealth comes by fortune, and losing it is fate.

Master Zhang, thank you for your feast.

We'll take our leave now.

Cheng Bi.

You should leave Xiao Shi Yi Lang to me.

-Why? -He's a scoundrel who preys on women.

I must rid the world of this threat to protect the women.

Let's wait until the Deer Saber arrives.

Come here.

Help!

Sir, please spare her.

Help!

Come on.

Don't run away.

-Help! -Let go of her!

You, a mere scholar, dare to meddle in my affairs?

I, Lian Cheng Bi, insist on intervening.

Master Lian?

Bullying a defenseless woman deserves severe punishment.

Yes, we were wrong.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

-Let them go. -PIease forgive me.

It seems they've had a bit too much to drink.

You will stand against that wall and reflect on your actions.

You may not leave until dawn.

Yes. Thank you, Master Lian.

Thank you, Master Lian.

Miss, thank you for speaking for us.

Let's go.

Little girl.

Come here.

WUSHU CENTER

From now on, don't go out singing so late at night.

If you run into Xiao Shi Yi Lang, it would be a disaster for you.

This is for you.

Take this.

Thank you, Miss.

Thank you, Master Lian. Thank you, Miss.

No need for formalities.

-Hurry on home. -0kay.

Thank you.

Scoundrel.

Lian Cheng Bi is both talented and virtuous, wealthy yet humble,

and still so young.

On top of that, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan is always by his side.

If that Deer Saber--

You don't have to provoke me with your words.

A true man stands by his promises.

If I had met Lian Cheng Bi sooner,

I wouldn't want to steal the saber for you.

Brother Tai Ji.

After we pass Baishi Slope, Lian Manor will be just ahead.

You're right.

Don't move!

Zhao Tai Ji, if you've got guts, come down and face me!

Brother Tai Ji, don't fall for their tricks.

Let's stay put and watch how this unfolds.

I'm not falling for your tricks!

I dare you to come down here yourselves!

The Great Hero of Central Plains gets scared just by seeing us!

If you know I'm the Great Hero of Central Plains,

why don't you come down and accept your fate?

-We don't have time for that. -Zhao Tai Ji.

I've heard your 81 moves of Tai Ji Swordsmanship are unmatched.

Why don't you show us what you've got?

Exactly.

Flying Eagle, why aren't you coming down either?

I don't waste my skills on nobodies.

Cut the nonsense!

If you don't come down soon, I'm not sticking around!

I'm not coming down.

If you don't have the guts to come up, then get lost!

Brother Tai Ji, what's wrong?

Ma Bai Sheng.

-Are you all right? -I'm fine.

You fools! I'II deal with you after I'm done with the mission!

Sure, we'll be waiting.

Brother Tai Ji, you've been tricked again.

There's no point arguing with them. Let's go.

Damn it!

Let's go.

So, did you get it?

Back to the palace!

Brother Tai Ji,

we've entered the woods. We need to be extra careful.

Something didn't feel right back at Baishi Slope.

We can't move forward, but we can't retreat either.

Also,

you'll suffer in ways you can't even imagine.

You must be Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

So, it was you causing trouble all along.

You've come a long way.

Why don't you hand over Deer Saber to me?

I'll take it to Lian Cheng Bi.

Buddy.

What's happening outside?

Xiao Shi Yi Lang is trying to steal the saber.

Your notorious reputation precedes you.

Looks like I'll have to use my Eagle Claws today.

Great Hero of Central Plains,

why aren't you coming up to show us your 81 moves of Tai Ji Swordsmanship?

Brother Tai Ji, stay there.

Protect the carriage.

Your 18 styles of Flying Eagle aren't enough to take me down.

You should've teamed up from the start.

All right, you win this time.

I can't beat you,

so I'll take my leave.

You think you can come and go easily as you please?

Is leaving that hard?

Let's go.

The Deer Saber is in the box. Please don't kill me.

You're lucky I'm merciful. I'II spare your life.

Thank you.

That guy might try to steal the saber again.

Damn, we've been tricked.

Where's Ma Bai Sheng?

The Deer Saber has been secured.

Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, and Tin,

you guys truly live up to your reputation.

You're too kind.

Is there anything else we can help you with?

The most beautiful woman in Jiangnan.

That's simple.

We'll only need to send three of our men.

Greetings, my lord.

Ma-

-Thank you for your hard work. -Thank you, my lord.

Deer Saber is now in our possession.

May I have the honor of seeing it?

Of course.

Thank you, my lord.

It truly lives up to its reputation.

Why are you laughing?

I laugh because so many people

have been fooled by one villain.

-Who is it? -How was I supposed to know?

First, Zhao Bai Cang's entire family was slaughtered,

and the Deer Saber was stolen.

Then,

several fake Xiao Shi Yi Langs appeared.

Then...

Then, the Deer Saber was returned to the swordsmith Xu Lu Zi,

along with a letter stating it should be delivered to Lian Cheng Bi.

Correct.

It also stated that Mr. Lian should kill me

with the Deer Saber.

Mr. Lian has a real problem now.

Why?

Because I am not that easy to kill.

Think about it.

Why was the saber a fake?

Why frame me as a scoundrel who preys on women?

Why set me up against Lian Cheng Bi?

It's a conspiracy.

They want to pit the two of us against each other.

I must get to the bottom of this.

I'II investigate as well.

Sure, let's work together.

No need.

I prefer to work alone.

If I find out the truth...

You'll take the Deer Saber, right?

Of course. Bye.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

Where are we going to find him?

LIAN

That guy is so cunning.

I'm so pissed.

Master Lian, we're sorry we couldn't deliver the Deer Saber to you.

We've let down Master Xu Lu Zi from beyond the pass.

You need not feel guilty.

We'll leave immediately.

Even if we have to search all of Jiangnan,

we'll find him.

Yes.

I'll go pack right away.

Cousin Bi Jun,

you don't have to come with us.

Why?

You've been pampered since you were young.

Long journeys aren't for you.

Besides,

Lian Manor cannot be left without a master.

So, you want me to stay behind to manage the household.

I won't do it.

I'm going to find Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Cousin Bi Jun.

Don't be stubborn.

I'm begging you.

We'll be waiting at the gates for you, Master Lian.

LIAN MANOR

Master.

Take care.

At the earliest, I'll be back in half a month. At the latest, a month.

Whether I find Xiao Shi Yi Lang or not, I'll return first.

Master, please mount your horse.

Cousin Bi Jun, you should go back inside.

I'll go back after I watch you ride away.

Thank you.

Young Master, please come back quickly.

TAVERN

Brother Xiao.

It's been over half a year.

What brings you all the way out here?

Have you been making money lately?

Making money?

I'm so broke I can't even afford a drink.

Drink as much as you want.

Don't worry about that.

It's on me.

Brother Fu.

How could I impose?

Impose?

Are we not friends?

Don't be shy.

Baijiu?

-Here. -Here.

Cheers.

I've earned enough today.

I have to drink with you.

We're not stopping until we're drunk.

Sure.

Let's drink until we're satisfied.

SANYUAN

BAISHI SLOPE

Where are you going in the middle of the night?

Xiao Cui.

My cousin told me not to go, so I'm going!

I'm going to catch up with them tonight.

Miss, don't be reckless.

If Madam finds out, she'll surely scold me.

Just say you don't know anything.

-Move aside!

How dare you stop me!

-Miss-- -Get Lian Fu to saddle the horse!

Miss, you...

Stop talking. Go!

All right.

Stop!

Who's there? What are you doing at Lian Manor in the dead of night?

Lian Manor?

What's so special about it?

-Don't hurt her. -Noted.

LIAN

There are no survivors left in Lian Manor.

The most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, don't be afraid.

You...

Who are you?

You'll find out soon enough.

Put down your sword.

Come with us quietly.

In your dreams!

Move aside.

What's going on?

It's none of your business.

Shi Yi Lang?

With your poor skills, you think you can go around causing trouble?

Brother Xiao.

You've been hiding your true abilities.

So, you're Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

Sir, where is this place?

This is my house.

You shouldn't move.

Your wound hasn't healed yet.

So, it was you who saved me.

No, lie down.

The person who saved you is washing dishes outside.

You're awake.

Thank you for saving me.

It's nothing.

You're injured.

You should speak and move

as little as possible.

I'm Lian Cheng Bi.

Miss, may I know why you've been following me day and night?

Master Lian, you're overthinking things.

The road belongs to everyone.

Can you control who can walk where?

Spare me the act.

Just by looking at you, I know you're up to no good.

Using weapons, are we?

Three against one?

Brother Zhao.

We're at fault.

The road is open to all.

If I've offended you, please forgive me.

Now, that's more like it.

Good thing you're holding a broken sword.

If it were the Deer Saber, I would be overjoyed.

Miss, do you know Xiao Shi Yi Lang's whereabouts?

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Good bye.

Catch up with her.

She might really know where the Deer Saber is.

If she knew, would she be following us?

Beware the trap while you're focused on the bait.

She's after the Deer Saber, too.

So, you're saying she's still following us?

Believe what you want.

Go away.

Go away.

Go!

You're all dismissed!

Go away!

Lian Manor has been reduced to rubble.

Why hasn't San Mo Le brought me the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan yet?

It's all because I blabbed about

the situation at Lian Manor.

Even if you hadn't told me, I would've known.

I saw it myself.

Who else could it be but Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

What proof do you have?

This man steals, robs, kills, and preys on women,

wreaking havoc in the martial world.

His evil deeds

are known by everyone.

Have you never heard of him?

He is Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

What? Him?

What?

TAVERN

He's Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Yes, it's him.

Brother Fu.

You're awake.

Where is he?

He left.

Left?

He left this behind.

XIAO SHI YI LANG

Even the longest journey ends in parting.

I would rather not have bid you farewell.

Here are some taels and a simple robe for your journey.

Please don 't worry. These are not stolen.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang

Also,

he asked me to send you back at dawn.

He...

Is he trying to send me away?

Miss, do you still not trust him?

He definitely didn't steal any Deer Saber or Cow saber.

You don't believe it?

Then why did he leave?

Maybe he's fallen for you.

Fallen for me?

Who knows?

You're out here in such heavy rain.

Did you have a fight with your husband?

These desolate mountains are full of bad people.

Miss, you need to be careful.

But with me here,

you don't have to worry.

You slapped me.

All right, you can hit me as much as you want.

You ungrateful girl!

It's your blessing that I, Xiao Shi Yi Lang,

have taken an interest in you.

Stop putting on such a show

and just accept it.

You animal! You're not even worthy of a single hair from Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

You're scolding me?

Who do you think you are to meddle in Xiao Shi Yi Lang's affairs?

You're Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Then who am I?

Are you really Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

I've marked your face now.

Don't let me see you again.

-Get lost! -0kay.

Master Xiao, thank you for sparing me.

To hell with you!

-Get lost! -Yes, sir.

I've wronged you before.

Not everything can be understood in a moment.

If it weren't this way,

life would be dull.

One must go on living, don't you agree?

I know

you've been secretly protecting me.

Brother Fu.

Brother Xiao.

Thank you.

You should head back when the rain stops.

Judging from what happened just now,

I clearly would have died

before I could even send Miss Shen home.

Am I right, Brother Xiao?

See.

There are so many impostors out there tainting your reputation.

Why don't you step forward and clear your name?

How many would believe what I say?

I am who I am.

Why should I care how others think of me

or deal with me?

As long as I'm not truly doing wrong,

why should I bother with others?

Isn't it better to live as I please?

When will we have another drink together?

Why hasn't Brother Fu returned yet?

He's handling something for me.

You must be hungry.

It smells good.

You've been pampered since childhood

and never gone hungry.

You seem very unhappy.

Unhappy doesn't even begin to describe it.

I feel like this ancient tree.

Has your heart also become hollow?

What's wrong?

They're at Wanghu Inn.

Someone has seen them.

My cousin?

You should go to him.

You don't have to kick me away.

When it's time to leave,

I'll go.

I don't have fine horses

or luxurious clothes.

You like to drink.

This bracelet should be enough for us to get drunk together.

After we part,

we may never meet again.

You're smart.

You should understand.

No.

I must tell them

you're not the kind of villain they say you are.

Even if they don't listen,

at least our meeting won't be in vain.

Let's keep drinking.

Five, ten...

I won.

I'II drink.

I can't drink anymore.

What song is this?

You've been humming it.

It's an old folk song.

What does it mean?

In spring,

the sheep are joyful as the grass grows.

But in winter,

who feeds the wolves?

Everyone pities the sheep,

but who has compassion for the wolves?

The wolves know true kindness,

yet heaven trembles.

They call him a wolf,

but who knows he's really a sheep?

To recognize him,

know that the wolf is a sheep.

If the sheep deserve pity,

what of the way of the world?

To forgive is a vow,

but not for myself.

I'm drunk.

Because

you're leaving.

All good things

must come to an end.

When I'm passed out drunk, you should go.

You should go then.

Why?

I can't bear to watch.

I can't bear to watch.

WANGHU INN

It's this guest.

Cousin Bi Jun.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

How did you get here?

Someone burned Lian Manor, killed everyone there,

injured me,

and kidnapped me.

Luckily,

Xiao Shi Yi Lang saved me.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Quickly change your clothes.

Where is Xiao Shi Yi Lang? We'll go thank him together.

Where is he?

Where is he?

At the lakeside inn.

Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao, wake up.

You're here again.

I took Miss Shen's clothes,

so I brought them back.

What? She's left?

She's left.

Look at you a" drunk.

You should go back too.

I'm not drunk.

Bring me another jar.

Brother Xiao, you're too drunk.

If your enemies find you,

your life will be in danger.

She wouldn't reveal my whereabouts.

She would never tell Lian Cheng Bi and the others.

Shi Yi Lang!

Shi Yi Lang!

They already believe you were wronged.

-You don't need to deceive anyone anymore. -He can't deceive anyone anymore.

What?

What are you saying?

Cousin Bi Jun.

Cousin Cheng Bi. What's going on?

Shi Yi Lang, you humiliated Miss Shen when Master Lian wasn't around.

You wouldn't even spare a young girl.

If I don't get rid of you today, there's no justice in the world.

So it turns out all the bad things in the world are done by me?

You just spun a web of lies to deceive Miss Shen.

Don't even try to deny it!

What are you doing? Are you trying to bully us?

Liars! You guys...

Cousin Bi Jun.

Are you just going to stand by and watch?

Cousin Cheng Bi.

I'II hate you forever for this.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Shi Yi Lang.

Shi Yi Lang.

Brother Fu!

Master Lian.

If you let him go, there will be endless trouble.

But I can't

betray my cousin.

They are severely injured because of me.

Cousin Cheng Bi, please let go.

I can't watch them die because of me.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

I understand your feelings.

Go ahead.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang is heavily drunk.

We've won unfairly.

You two should return to the inn.

Master Lian, how can you do this? We were wrong about you.

Farewell.

Shi Yi Lang!

Shi Yi Lang!

Shi Yi Lang!

Brother Fu!

Shi Yi Lang!

Shi Yi Lang!

Brother Fu!

Shi Yi Lang!

Shi Yi Lang!

Miss Shen.

Shi Yi Lang!

You...

Shi Yi Lang.

It's all my fault.

Shi Yi Lang.

You can't die.

I won't die.

But Brother Fu...

Brother Fu.

Brother Fu, hang in there.

I'll take you back for another drink.

You need someone to carry you.

I'm afraid my end is near.

Brother Fu...

Brother Xiao.

You've always said this.

What's the joy in living

or the fear in dying?

To have found a true friend

is all that matters.

Brother Fu!

Brother Fu.

Miss Shen.

I'm afraid I won't make it.

Brother Xiao.

You two are meant for each other.

I may never see you again.

-Brother Fu. -Brother Fu.

Brother Fu!

Who is it?

I am the Happy King.

I've been waiting for you.

The Deer Saber is with him.

Yes.

Where is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan?

-Speak! -Hand over the Deer Saber and we'll talk.

I haven't finished yet.

So you were behind what happened at Lian Manor.

Where is the most beautiful woman

in Jiangnan?

I don't know!

Seriously...

is it that hard to find

the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan?

TAVERN

Who is it?

Did I wake you up?

I shouldn't have stayed here.

You...

Are you going to chase me away again?

Let's not talk about this right now.

I'm starving.

Guess what I want to eat?

Meat buns.

But it's quite far.

I'd hate to trouble you.

Such a small matter is nothing.

I'll go buy them right away.

Cousin Bi Jun.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

How did you get here?

I've been waiting for you all day.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

You shouldn't have come.

Cousin Bi Jun.

As long as you don't despise me,

I'll wait for you,

no matter when you change your mind.

Cousin Bi Jun.

Our fate wasn't meant to be.

Take good care of yourself from now on.

Lian Cheng Bi is both talented and virtuous,

wealthy yet humble,

and still so young.

On top of that, his cousin, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan,

is always by his side.

A hero and beauty like them

would surely make everyone envious.

I cannot disregard the principles of the martial world.

Master Lian.

Please wait.

I am Xiao Shi Yi Lang, and I came with a request.

Mr. Xiao.

What more do you want?

I ask for nothing else.

First, I'd like to thank you for helping me out last night.

And second, I'd like you to take Miss Shen back with you.

Miss Shen's heart has already chosen someone else.

There's no need to talk about this.

A gentleman doesn't take what others desire.

A man must stand tall.

If you don't take Miss Shen back,

I'd be ridiculed by the martial world.

Say no more.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang's martial prowess is renowned in the martial world.

Today, I, Lian Cheng Bi, would like to test it for myself.

Master Lian.

Thank you for holding back.

Your reputation is well deserved.

Even when I pushed you, you didn't draw your weapon.

I can only express my admiration at your composure.

May our paths cross again someday.

With my cousin's future settled,

my heart is at ease.

Shi Yi Lang.

It's been a few days. What are you doing here alone?

It's a long story.

What are you doing here?

Is there more news?

Do you really think the real Deer Saber is in my hands?

Then who has it?

None of us expected it.

The real Deer Saber is in the hands of the Happy King.

He killed Zhao Tai Ji and Flying Eagle.

He must have also destroyed Lian Manor as well.

I don't believe it.

I'm going to find him.

He's not far from here.

I'll take you to him.

You shouldn't go.

If you do, you'll just get in the way. I can't protect you.

You can't handle him alone.

Si Niang, don't worry.

With my skills,

I don't need your help.

Good bye.

He left.

Shi Yi Lang!

Where did he go?

Shi Yi Lang!

You're the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan.

You know Xiao Shi Yi Lang?

Sister, where is he?

His wounds haven't fully healed yet.

He doesn't mind a few injuries.

-Where is Master Lian? -Probably...

still at Wanghu Inn.

Let's go find him.

Why are you looking for my cousin?

To ask him to go to the Happy King's palace with us.

We need to find Xiao Shi Yi Lang. Hurry.

Who are you?

I am Feng Si Niang.

No time to waste. We'll talk as we go.

I've lived outside the pass for years,

but I've long admired Xiao Shi Yi Lang's fame.

Today, seeing you come to me

is the greatest joy of my life.

Yu.

Quickly pour a drink for Xiao.

I'm an outcast in the martial world, and thus I have to come to seek refuge.

I never expected such kindness from you.

From this day forward, I swear to serve you with absolute loyalty.

Well said!

And even better with a drink.

With you by my side, how can I not conquer the world?

I have acted improperly, please forgive me.

This is the spirit of a true hero.

It aligns perfectly with my own.

There's no need to apologize.

These two women are yours now.

You must treat them well from now on.

How dare you intrude on Happy King's palace at night?

Who is disturbing my drinking?

Lian Cheng Bi of Sanyuan.

Master Lian.

Forgive me for not recognizing you.

All who enter must first drink three cups as punishment.

We must honor the tradition.

Come.

Pour a drink for Master Lian.

No need.

I came here for a fight, not for a drink.

I'm ready to shed blood.

But if you want me to drink,

I won't join you for that.

Fine,

in this world,

few dare challenge me to a fight.

I've done nothing to prove myself here.

Please allow me to take this battle.

Sure.

I've wanted to see your skills.

-Excuse yourselves! -Yes, my lord.

I spared your life last time,

and now we meet again.

Enough talk.

I'd like to borrow the Deer Saber

and kill your enemy with your weapon.

Very well. Take it.

Shi Yi Lang!

-Go! -Who are you? I don't know you!

You don't know me?

Go.

Feng Si Niang.

I should thank you.

If it weren't for your guidance,

Master Lian and the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan wouldn't have come here.

Don't mention it.

I came here specifically to see you.

Who would have thought, last time I was your guest,

and now I'm a prisoner.

Cousin Cheng Bi!

Cousin Cheng Bi.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

Cousin Cheng Bi.

Enough. Once someone's dead, it's over.

Crying won't bring them back.

I'm good at killing,

but not so much at comforting others.

This is a wedding gift.

I won't be attending your wedding.

Xiao Shi Yi Lang.

I didn't get the man this time.

You should give me my Deer Saber, right?

Sure.

Si Niang.

I have something to discuss with you.

What is it? Just tell me.

I'll keep this Deer Saber

for now.

When we find the right owner,

we'll hand it over.

Do you agree?

Fine, I'll give you a year.

But if you still haven't found the owner, I won't hold back.

What do you plan to do?

I'll take it.

After a year, I'll take the saber,

and who knows, I might just take your partner too.
