(My Journey to You)

(Episode 2)

Gong Ziyu.

I'm not trying to let them go.

It's just a trap.

Interesting.

I thought the most famous playboy of the Gong family

only knows how to play cards.

Then let me play along with you so that it seems more realistic.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not mistaken.

I'm just making the best of a bad bargain.

Gong Yuanzhi.

They are all bride candidates.

You're being too negligent of the consequences.

You're indeed the most tender towards women, Young Master Ziyu.

But if there's a Wufeng spy among them,

they should all be executed.

They are already poisoned.

Without my antidote,

they'll just have to wait for their deaths.

Are we really going to die?

I'm scared.

Help me.

I won't die here, right?

I don't want to.

I don't want to die yet.

What are you doing?

Congratulations.

Your trap has succeeded.

The bug has entered the pit.

Bring the antidote to us in exchange for his life.

You can try.

Let's see if you'll die first or he'll die first.

What are you talking about?

Take her away.

Brother Yuanzhi.

You were reckless.

Young Lord.

I was desperate to save Brother Ziyu.

The acupoints below the knees are connected to the elbows.

Since his elbows were numbed,

Brother Ziyu should be safe.

Besides,

Brother Ziyu had eagerly set up a trap.

I couldn't let his effort go to waste.

Didn't we catch her in the end?

Nonsense.

You obviously tried to kill me just now.

Brother Yuanzhi.

Next time,

don't be so reckless.

Yes,

Young Lord.

Morning.

Does it still hurt?

A little.

Why did you pull such a foolish stunt last night?

You clearly can't defeat Gong Yuanzhi in a fight, but you insisted on...

Who can't defeat Gong Yuanzhi?

If it weren't for you hindering me,

it would probably had been a balanced fight.

Dream on.

Shut up.

I need to find someone later.

Don't follow me.

Wait for me here.

What are you going to do?

None of your business.

I swear on my conscience

that I really don't want to care about you.

Do you have a conscience?

I do.

But it was eaten by a dog.

(Zhi)

Someone was here.

Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang.

I heard that Wufeng assassins

are divided into four levels.

With your ability and skills,

you're probably in the lowest level, Chi.

Sigh.

It was such a good opportunity,

yet they actually sent a Chi.

Was this a suicide mission?

We Wufeng people are not afraid of death.

Oh?

Yes.

Many people are not afraid of death.

But that's because

sometimes,

living is scarier

than death.

You must be the Gong Yuanzhi that they talk about,

who's adept at using poison.

Even if I die,

I won't drink your poison wine.

It's fine if

you don't want to

drink this cup of poison wine.

I need you to do something for me.

I'm willing to do anything for you.

I want you

to protect someone for me.

We're not going to die here, right?

Bring the incense burner to the brides.

Yes.

Young Master.

What are you doing here?

I just came to look around.

Nonsense.

This is the Ladies' Hostel. What is there to see?

Go to Wanhua Pavilion if you want to look at women.

Hey.

Young Master.

Hurry. Guard the door.

Don't let anyone find out that Young Master is here.

Or he'll be in big trouble.

Yes.

And I'll be in bigger trouble.

Young Master Ziyu.

Young Master Ziyu?

What is he doing here?

Why is he here?

Wait for a moment.

Young Master Ziyu.

Thank you for your help last night.

Don't call me Young Master Ziyu.

Call me Gong Ziyu.

Isn't it funny?

My name is Yun Weishan.

"Yun" as in the clouds,

and "shan" as in clothes.

The clouds are your clothes.

What a poetic and great name.

How did you know

I'm here for this mask today?

The coloring on this mask

is not ordinary oil paint or color paste,

but a very thin layer of glaze.

It's tough for ordinary craftsmen to create.

It must be made by a skilled craftsman

and is expensive.

If I were the owner,

I would also be heartbroken if I lost it.

It has nothing to do with the price.

The main thing is that it can't be bought anymore.

Has the craftsman passed away?

You can say that.

Has your body been detoxified?

Last night, Young Lord sent the antidote here for everyone.

I'm fine now.

Young Master Ziyu.

This medicine is...

It's the Baizhi Jincao Tea.

I'll hold it.

You may leave.

Yes.

When I checked in last night,

I had a bowl of

this Baizhi Jincao Tea.

They said that all outsiders have to take it

to resist the fog of poisonous miasma in Jiuchen Valley.

What's wrong, Young Master Ziyu?

Is anything wrong?

Oh. No.

You must take this Baizhi Jincao Tea.

The depths of the valley

are scattered with rare herbs.

But there are also many poisonous plants.

The valley is constantly shrouded in poisonous miasma.

If a woman stays in the valley for a long time,

then...

What?

Then it'll be hard to

bear a child.

Miss Shangguan, please take the medicinal tea.

Do I have to drink it now?

Yes. I'll take the medicine cup back after you finish it.

That's why the Gong family

wants to marry brides from outside the valley.

But don't worry.

This Baizhi Jincao Tea

is made for women to help resist the poisonous miasma

and nourish their bodies.

But this bowl of medicine...

What's wrong with this bowl of medicine?

Is there a problem?

A few pieces of rat poop fell into it.

Are you serious?

Guess.

Where did you go?

I've been waiting for you this whole time.

Aren't you a little too delicate?

You need medicine even for a minor injury.

This is the Baizhi Jincao Tea.

Why are you drinking that?

Are you out of your mind?

I wouldn't drink the Baizhi Jincao Tea even if I'm out of my mind.

Smell it yourself.

This smell is not right.

Is it poisoned?

I'm not sure yet.

But it's definitely not the original Baizhi Jincao Tea.

Who did this?

Who else could it be?

The person who is

most adept at using poison in the whole valley.

Gong Yuanzhi.

Ziyu.

Brother.

Did you go to the Ladies' Hostel

to look for Miss Yun Weishan?

Brother.

How did you find out?

Last night,

I saw her wearing your mask.

It's your treasure.

You wouldn't have given it

to a regular girl.

I mean,

how do you know her name?

It's my turn to select a bride.

About their family backgrounds,

personalities, and names,

of course I know everything.

Don't worry.

I won't choose Miss Yun.

Brother.

What are you talking about?

Young Lord. Young Master Ziyu.

Lord Sword Wielder wants to see you.

Okay. We'll be there soon.

Father.

I heard from them

that the identity of the assassin

has been exposed.

My brother and I...

Young Lord and I planned to

use the mechanism in the secret tunnel to lure out the assassin...

I didn't expect you to have learned to lie.

How could Young Lord be as stupid as you?

You fancied yourself as smart

and even want to get Young Lord involved.

Ever since I said I wanted to kill the brides,

it was already a trap.

Huanyu and I

had already discussed it.

Of course we can't kill all the brides.

Otherwise, there will be

no place in the martial world for the Gong family.

Then why did you

say those things to Ziyu?

He has been soft-hearted since he was little

and tender towards women.

If he knew I wanted to kill those brides,

he would try his best to save them.

Are you planning to use Ziyu to lure out the assassin?

Yes.

Yuanzhi.

I called you here

because I need your help.

I'm at your service.

Brother.

So,

you all knew this was a trap,

but you didn't tell me

and made me think I was being a hero?

- Let me tell you in advance. - Ziyu.

With your temper,

what can you hide?

You're incompetent

and a failure.

Do you have that little faith in me?

Look at yourself.

You never focus on business.

All you know is to run to Wanhua Pavilion.

From inside and outside and head to toe,

what is trustworthy about you?

And what do you have in your hand?

Today, I realized

that there's something wrong with the Baizhi Jincao Tea

that's being sent to the Ladies' Hostel.

I suspect

that Gong Yuanzhi changed the formula without permission

to test the new medicine with the brides.

I did change the formula.

Ziyu.

Do you know what the effect of Baizhi Jincao Tea is?

To resist the poisonous miasma in the valley?

Then have you noticed that the poisonous miasma has been increasing?

You're always idle all day.

You never once asked about the affairs of the Gong family.

Of course you wouldn't have noticed it.

Because the miasma is getting worse

and the effect of the original formula is decreasing,

I asked Gong Yuanzhi to come up with a new formula.

Did you say he had no permission?

Do you think

all the Gong family's children are like you,

who fancy themselves as smart

and take action before reporting?

Reporting to Lord Sword Wielder.

Young Master Shangjue has entered the valley.

He'll reach the Gong residence soon.

Lord Sword Wielder. I want to go and welcome my brother.

Please excuse me.

Okay.

You may leave too.

Go back

and reflect on your mistakes.

You're not young anymore.

You'd better think it over carefully.

If you want to continue to be a useless person,

you don't have to stay in the Gong residence.

I don't really want to stay in the Gong residence anyway!

You...

Ziyu. Where are you going?

Don't stop him!

Let him go!

Seriously.

I can't even say a word.

- Father, Ziyu... - He should go as far as possible.

He'd better not come back

and he'd better not show up at the wedding tonight!

Father.

All right.

Go and get ready

for your bride selection.

Why are you still here?

Go.

Yes.

Lady Wuji.

I just saw that boy running away angrily.

Did he make the Sword Wielder angry again?

I'll have to trouble you to persuade my father.

On such a joyful day of Young Lord's bride selection,

why are you still fighting with Ziyu?

He's old enough to get married.

He's not the same kid that would just take your scolding.

You should at least let him preserve his dignity.

That brat.

When he was a kid, he was obedient.

But now that he's grown up,

he's getting more and more rebellious.

Whenever I see him,

I get enraged.

Tell me.

He's idle every day.

That's untypical of a son of mine.

You can say that in front of me,

but you must not say that in front of others,

especially in front of the two brothers, Gong Shangjue and Gong Yuanzhi.

You know

that's what he cares about the most.

In my opinion,

he is the most like you.

The two of you have the same temper

and are never willing to say what's in your hearts.

You clearly care about each other,

but you still refuse to admit it.

Listen to my advice.

Find a chance

to talk to him nicely.

You're not young anymore.

Just compromise.

I'm his father.

If someone has to compromise,

it should be him.

Fine.

He'll compromise.

Drink the soup first.

Before the bride selection ceremony,

the Gong family will arrange for a physician

to check all the brides' pulses,

evaluate your physiques,

and check for hidden diseases.

Then, he'll evaluate

your body postures.

After that,

you'll drink the Gong family's secret medicine to heal your body.

After all the assessments,

the three tokens will be issued.

The golden token, the white jade token,

and the wooden token.

The brides who get the golden token

will stand in the first row

at the bride selection ceremony.

So, Yun Weishan,

you need to try your best

to get the golden token for yourself.

Why?

Why?

I actually got a wooden token.

At least give me a white jade token.

I really envy you.

Young Lord will definitely choose you.

That's not true.

Miss Yun has a golden token too.

Based on my understanding of Young Lord Huanyu,

he will definitely choose you.

He won't choose Miss Jiang.

Miss Yun.

Don't worry.

You know Young Lord very well.

We're all after him.

Of course we should know about him in advance.

You should stop pretending too.

Miss Yun.

Don't worry.

Even if Young Lord chooses Miss Jiang,

there's still the Gong family's

Young Master Shangjue.

Gong Shangjue is of age now.

He wouldn't wait for the next bride selection.

Young Master Shangjue's prestige

is not lower than that of Young Lord.

Miss Yun.

You must want to be the wife of Young Lord,

right?

I don't care.

Young Master Shangjue is a nice guy too.

Not him.

Why?

Because

I fancy Young Master Shangjue.

Open the door.

I said, open the door. I'm going out.

Young Master Ziyu.

Today is Young Lord Huanyu's wedding day.

All the gates have been closed.

The Sword Wielder has banned anyone from leaving.

Here comes Young Master Shangjue.

If Gong Huanyu didn't choose me as his bride,

would that mean I failed my mission?

If you fail,

you die.

I just finished reading the file you submitted.

Sword Wielder.

Come on. Sit.

Sword Wielder.

I can stand.

It's okay.

Sit down.

I'll make us some tea.

It's late.

Drinking tea now

may give you a sleepless night.

Don't worry.

I couldn't sleep well

a while ago

and asked Yuanzhi

to make me an herbal tea that helps me sleep.

Why don't you try it?

The herbal tea Brother Yuanzhi made.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Sword Wielder.

Let me do it.

The Zheng family of Hunyuan and the Phoenix Villa

refuse to bend to Wufeng.

They want to seek protection from the Gong family.

But...

I see your dilemma.

Since the accident ten years ago,

the Gong family has been keeping a low profile

and gathering our strength.

There's really not much we can do

to help those two families.

Zheng Zhongyi, head of the Zheng family,

is a friend of mine.

I visited him

and explained the situation.

But

to continue their family line,

the Zheng family made their daughter,

Zheng Nanyi,

sign up for the marriage selection this year.

By this time,

she should have settled in the Gong Residence.

Thank you.

I just did my job.

I intended

to let you have a few days off.

But I sent for you at this late hour

because I have something important to tell you.

I'm all ears.

For the past decade,

the Gong family has been accumulating wealth

at a steady rate

and become far richer than when the former Sword Wielder was in power.

Your contribution to the accumulation

of our family wealth

didn't go unnoticed.

The martial world thinks

that you

are the ablest one

among your peers in the Gong family

in terms of both martial arts and intelligence.

It's just empty fame.

Don't take it seriously.

Wufeng is afraid of you.

The martial world respects you.

But in the martial world,

in most cases,

fear

works better than respect.

Whether they fear or respect me,

it's because of the Gong family,

not me.

Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu.

These four lineages

all have a role to play.

The Shang Lineage forges

and invents weapons.

The Zhi Lineage

creates all kinds of poisons and antidotes

that can be used with hidden weapons.

Brother.

These are the gunpowder and hidden weapons from the Shang Lineage

and the poisons and antidotes I made for you.

If you need anything else,

just let me know.

Of course.

The most important lineage

is the Yu Lineage

which runs the Gong family like a tight ship

so that I do my job outside

without worries.

Shangjue.

You

are a clever man.

I should apologize to you

for the decision I made back then.

The next Sword Wielder should...

Lord Sword Wielder.

It's late

and I'm tired.

If you have anything to say,

just say it.

I've been thinking

about it for some time.

Father.

Father.

When you came in,

didn't the guards tell you

that I don't want to be disturbed now?

They did,

but it's something urgent.

Shangjue is not an outsider.

Go ahead.

I've found out the identity of the assassin

Wufeng planted in the brides.

She is the second daughter of the Zheng family of Hunyuan,

Zheng Nanyi.

It's getting late.

I'll take my leave.

What should I do

if Gong Huanyu didn't choose me?

You have to figure that out yourself.

You're handy.

You'll find a way.

So, Yun Weishan,

you need to try your best

to get a golden token.

It'd be better

if you were the only girl getting it.

It's chilly tonight.

I'm afraid that you may catch a cold

and was about to close the window.

The wedding is coming soon.

Why is he going out?

Who do you mean?

Gong Shangjue.

Young Master Shangjue.

Who cares about him?

Just now,

I dreamed of my mother.

It must have been a beautiful dream.

People say

that dreams are the opposite of reality.

The more beautiful a dream is,

the sadder you will be after waking up.

Because dreaming of someone

means you can't be with them

or have lost them.

Now,

I can only see my mother in my dreams.

So it doesn't matter whether it's a beautiful dream

or a nightmare.

Miss Jiang, you're here too.

It's a private area.

Do not disturb.

How private?

Who am I disturbing?

Why don't you make it clear?

Jin Fan!

Eldest Young Miss.

I...

What a surprise.

You're here too.

Eldest Young Miss.

What are you doing here?

That's my line.

What are you doing here?

I'm here...

Oh, Jin Fan.

You look like a gentleman

but you actually visit places like this.

Do I look

exotic?

Very exotic.

Yellow Jade Guardian.

Seriously?

Gong Ziyu is a regular here but no one came to take him back.

This is my first time here

but a Yellow Jade Guardian came to take me back.

Maybe it's because Gong Ziyu didn't dress like you.

The Council of Elders

wants Young Master Ziyu back immediately.

Sorry to disturb you this late.

I couldn't sleep

and saw the lights in Miss Shangguan's room still on.

so I came for a little chat.

Did I disturb you?

No.

I couldn't sleep either,

so I came to chat with Miss Shangguan.

I thought

I was the only one who couldn't sleep.

It turned out that you can't sleep either, Miss Yun Weishan.

Earlier today,

I didn't get the chance to congratulate you

on becoming Young Lord's bride, Miss Jiang.

I envy you.

The fragrance in the room smells so good.

It's from an incense called Autumn Slumber.

It's a well-known incense

from my hometown.

Miss Jiang said she couldn't sleep,

so I decided to use it.

It helps with sleeping and calms the nerves.

If you like it, Miss Yun,

I have more.

Miss Shangguan insisted on letting me try

some aged tea from her hometown in the middle of the night.

I'm afraid I can't sleep well again.

But it's good.

The three of us can chat

and relax.

What were you talking about?

Why do you look like

you have been crying, Miss Jiang?

We were talking about

Miss Jiang's sweetheart.

Her sweetheart?

Miss Jiang

has a sweetheart in her hometown.

So she doesn't want to marry into the Gong family.

Tell me.

What can we do

to help her?

Miss Yun Weishan,

do you not like tea?

I'm a light sleeper.

Judging from the color of the tea,

it should be a strong tea.

If I drink this,

I'm afraid I can't sleep until dawn.

Please have it instead, Miss Jiang.

Don't be too upset.

It's bad for your health.

Yes.

Young Lord

has only temporarily chosen you.

The wedding has yet to be held.

Plans might still change.

It would've been great if Miss Yun were chosen instead.

It's rare for a bride of the Gong family

to have her heart elsewhere

like you, Miss Jiang.

They all say the Gong family is good.

It's a blessing to marry into the family.

After Miss Jiang is sent to the Yu Lineage tomorrow,

I'm afraid the rest of us

will be ushered out of the Gong residence

and sent home.

You won't be sent home.

According to the Gong family's rules of marriage selection,

even if you're not chosen by the young lord,

all the bride candidates will be

given a good family to marry to.

First, these bride candidates

are the daughters of the Gong family's allies in the martial world.

The Gong family cannot embarrass anyone.

Second, the Gong family is very cautious.

They try to keep the people who havecome here.

Miss Yun and Miss Shangguan, with your beauty,

you will certainly find a good husband.

I hope so.

Besides,

Young Master Shangjue

and Young Master Ziyu

are not married yet.

So don't worry.

Miss Jiang,

you are so nice.

I wish that

your dreams will come true, Miss Jiang.

After drinking this tea,

I should rest.

We should rest too.

-Did you do something again? -Did you do something again?

Of course it has nothing to do with me!

They said that the Elders wanted to see Young Master Ziyu.

Am I Young Master Ziyu?

Forget it.

No matter what I do, I can't escape it.

Let's wait until we get there.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Don't you have a mirror in your room?

If not, you should drink more water,

so you can see your reflection when you relieve yourself.

It may be a good thing

if the Elders were meeting Gong Shangjue or Gong Yuanzhi.

But us?

You and me?

The last time I went to the Council of Elders,

they almost skinned me before they let me out.

Look at what you're wearing. They'll skin you for sure this time.

What do you know?

This is the latest autumn and winter style from Jiangnan.

It's classy.

Understand?

It's quite mixed.

But it's not classy.

I feel cold just looking at it.

You might be weak and sickly,

but the rest of the world isn't afraid of the cold like you.

Who was it?

Who cried eating ice in the hot June weather?

You don't have the right to feel cold for others.

I was only seven then.

By age seven, your development for the rest of your life is determined.

Stop talking about this.

I'm telling you, it's all your fault today.

If it weren't for you,

how could such a classy person like me

go to such an unclassy place?

Also,

can you stop taking Jinfan

to brothels?

You're leading him astray.

I'm leading him astray, so you'll have a chance with him.

I have a bad feeling.

The Yellow Jade Guardian

only accepts orders from the Elders.

Looks like we're in for some trouble.

Truly, you get to see everything if you live long enough.

Maybe I will even see

the Red Jade Guardian in this life.

Is there really a Red Jade Guardian?

I think the Elders lied to us.

To me, Red Jade Guardian

is just like Nuwa and Fuxi.

They are all people from myths and legends.

Why did you change the subject again?

Let me tell you.

Drop me off at the Gong residence.

I can't accompany you to the Council of Elders.

They clearly stated that they want you.

I'll now cut ties with you.

- Sorry. - Then get off now.

Can I? Stop the carriage.

Why did my brother leave in such a hurry?

This mission was posted directly by Sword Wielder.

I don't know anything about it.

Besides,

there is no checkpoint along the way

to tell where Young Master Shangjue is.

He went out alone.

He even left you behind.

Why did the lantern on the tower

turn red?

A red light warning.

It's been years since the previous one.

Whose funeral is it?

What happened?

Brother.

Come back soon.

Something bad

is about to happen in the Gong residence.

All female guests come out of the room.

Count the number.

My lords,

are you

looking for Miss Yun Weishan?

She's resting in my room.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

Because...

Miss Yun Weishan seems to have eaten something wrong.

She has rashes all over her face.

She doesn't want others to see her like that.

And...

It looks very scary.

She's afraid of infecting others.

Miss Yun Weishan.

Please show your face.

You said she's afraid of infecting others.

Then why is she

resting in your room

instead of her own room?

Why is she in my room?

Yes.

I'm asking you.
