=Episode 2=

My Fengfu acupoint is sealed.

I can't move.

Your poison flared up?

No.

Are you afraid of the dark?

Don't be.

I'm not afraid.

This is a box.

They didn't harm us

while we were unconscious.

They probably want to capture us alive.

Who are they?

Why do they want to capture you?

Shouldn't that be asked to you?

Those who can reach Qingque Sect

should be from the Six Sects.

Ning,

turn your head a little.

What?

What are you doing?

Releasing your acupoint.

I'll count to three.

We'll rush out together.

Okay.

One,

two,

three.

Careful.

Chang Ning!

Let go,

or we'll all die.

Halfway is the worst way,

especially when saving lives.

Help!

Master!

If no one comes,

we'll die!

Zhao, hold the rope!

Zhao,

what happened?

Someone is trying to capture Ning.

Chang.

Chang Ning.

Don't worry.

He's fine.

He'll wake up soon.

Zhao,

are your hands okay?

I'm fine.

Xingjia got anxious and wrapped extra rounds.

It's all my fault.

I failed to protect you.

The villains are bold.

Not your fault.

But Master,

how did the people in black get here?

Even flying birds can't do that.

Could this be the same people

who massacred Chang Fort?

The Jianghu has been peaceful for years.

We let our guard down.

Now,

we must stay alert.

Yunke,

I found several bodies

in Qingque Town.

The culprit disguised themselves

as Guangtian Sect guards.

Master,

it's my fault.

I'll go to pursue the culprit.

They first massacred Chang Fort

and then barged in here to silence Ning.

This can only be the demon sect.

The Patriarch's ritual is imminent.

We can't have another riot.

From today,

strengthen the internal and external gates' guard.

Everyone going up the mountain

must be checked.

No negligence.

- Yes. - Yes.

Zhao.

The Siqi Sect is too weak.

She couldn't even stand one move.

My foundation is weak.

It has nothing to do with the sect.

Xiaolan,

you didn't eat breakfast this morning, right?

So, you don't have enough strength.

Lingbo,

I'll take Xiaolan to find some food.

Let's go.

Cai Zhao,

it seems your hand has healed.

Yes.

Thanks for your concern.

Let's go.

Zhuo!

(Ding Zhuo) I'm Ding Zhuo.

Channeling inner power into the weapon.

So powerful.

This is Zhuo.

He just emerged from seclusion.

Cai Zhao.

Hi, Zhuo.

Zhuo.

May I spar with you?

Zhao,

Zhuo is obsessed with martial arts.

Whenever he spars,

he fights until one can't stand.

Don't spar with him.

What?

Are you afraid?

Sure. Let's spar.

I'm ready.

Zhuo,

you've lost.

Cai Zhao, you cheated.

Lingbo, you can't wrong me.

I didn't use hidden weapons

or attack from behind.

How did I cheat?

But it hasn't even started.

Martial contests are fatal struggles.

At a critical moment,

do we need to bathe, burn incense,

and beat drums before starting?

No wonder I was ambushed a few days ago.

It must have been because everyone

weren't prepared.

I...

I admit defeat.

Zhuo...

Thank you, Zhuo.

Xiaolan.

Cai Zhao,

just you wait.

(Double Lotus Palace)

It's said that the previous lord, Yin Dai, had only

two daughters, Qinglian and Sulian.

Thus, it's named

Double Lotus Palace.

Though it lacks grandeur,

it is elegant and extraordinary,

stunningly beautiful.

The tiles are fragile,

transported from the Western Regions

without damage.

Truly priceless.

Qingque Sect has always valued

strict cultivation

and simple living.

Lord Yin managed such a palace,

truly a model

of household management.

(Lotus and Moon)

You two faced danger.

I wanted to visit,

but the sect was busy

reorganizing defenses,

checking disciples.

I didn't have time.

Today, I finally has a chance.

This gift is a token of care

to calm your nerves.

Thank you for your concern.

But we've done nothing.

A gift is not needed.

Your aunt and I bought this bracelet

when traveling Jianghu.

You can take it, right?

Thank you, Lady Yin.

Lingbo,

Ms. Cai and I were like sisters.

You and Zhao are fellow disciples.

You should treat her well.

It's hard to have such connections.

Yes,

Mother.

Ning,

I know your family has fine collections.

Ordinary items might not impress you.

Nanny Mao.

Yes.

Take Ning

to the Treasure Vault

and see if he likes anything.

Yes.

Have some tea.

Thank you, Lady Yin.

You have good taste.

This jade was soaked in phoenix blood,

extremely nourishing

and precious.

If you like it,

you may take it.

Madam,

this was my family's property.

I just want to bring it back.

Mr. Chang,

this is a treasured item of Madam.

She can give it to you.

How can it be taken back?

Three years ago,

my father fell ill

due to Ms. Cai's death.

Lord Qi let my father recuperate here.

So,

my father gave him this blood jade,

but he overheard a quarrel between you two.

You said

Cai Pingshu sacrificed herself for the world,

fighting Nie Hengcheng

to mutual ruin.

But that wretch dragged it out

for over ten years before dying,

truly detestable.

My father was enraged,

so he left here in sickness.

Every time he recalled it,

he was heartbroken.

Chang Ning,

we kindly took you in,

yet you disobeyed.

Now, you even slander my mother.

Madam knows

whether she had said that.

Lady Yin,

is this true?

Of course not.

Your family is despicable.

You even drew thieves here.

As a martial family,

you collected wealth everywhere.

Who knows what you hid

to provoke the massacre?

My father was fond of wealth

but fair.

He owed no one.

The Yin family was greedy

for wealth and reputation,

which caused Ms. Cai's early death.

Ning, you're slandering us.

How disrespectful

and impolite.

Today, I'll teach you a lesson

on behalf of the Lord.

- Nanny Mao. - Yes.

Madam,

Lingbo already lectured me

openly and secretly.

Could this be

your instruction?

Is today's kindness

to win over Zhao,

whom Lord Qi values,

or out of guilt

for Ms. Cai Pingshu?

Nonsense.

Guards!

Yes.

What are you doing?

Seize Chang Ning.

Yes.

- You... - Stop.

Nanny Mao,

what is this about?

Milord.

Father, Chang Ning...

Dear,

Ning is my guest.

Besides,

he is young,

facing so much turmoil,

so his emotions fluctuate.

As an elder,

you should show more tolerance.

Ning,

your wounds aren't healed.

Go back

and rest properly.

- Master. - Zhao.

Come with me.

Master,

is what Chang Ning said true?

Aunt went to kill Nie Hengcheng.

What does that have to do

with Lord Yin Dai?

This is the Withered Branch.

Your aunt brought it here.

Withered Branch?

I thought it was extinct.

I came from a humble background.

Back then,

I was just

an unremarkable outer disciple,

often bullied by senior brothers.

(Young Qi Yunke, Qingque Sect)

Until that day, Pingshu appeared

and rescued me.

Pingshu told me

that I have the Tianhuo Dragon Bone,

that once I break through,

I can soar,

and that I must not give up

because of early failure.

Under her guidance,

I got the Tianhuo Dragon Meridian,

becoming a disciple

of Lord Yin.

To strengthen my inner power,

she found the Withered Branch.

Once it blooms,

it can be used as medicine

to aid my cultivation.

But before it bloomed,

Nie Hengcheng

completed his dark arts,

devastating the Six Sects,

and killing countless.

I should have realized.

Pingshu was always ahead of us,

never letting us

die with her.

Whenever I think of my aunt

covered in blood,

barely alive,

I feel anger and sorrow.

If only someone had been

with her at the time,

even just to assist.

This is Jianghu:

Heroic ones

risk their lives,

yet good endings are not guaranteed.

I've long stopped

believing in karma.

That's why I said I don't like Jianghu.

Yet you and my parents insisted I come.

You don't need to enter Jianghu,

but you must become powerful.

Only then

can you live without worry.

Your aunt wanted you to learn from me

because she wanted you

to diligently practice

and refine your martial skills.

In life,

there are times beyond one's control.

Only by becoming strong

can one be free.

Back then,

no matter what others said,

your aunt acted as she wished.

I hope

you can do the same.

Stand for justice

in the martial world,

act chivalrously,

oppose the strong, and aid the weak,

so that grievances are addressed,

and everyone can achieve something.

(Trace Butterflies.)

Zhao, you're back.

(He lured the butterflies here?)

Ning, why are you here,

and why did you attract so many Trace Butterflies?

Father has regretted

that during the Battle of Mount Tu,

he was a step too late

and could not fight with Ms. Cai.

Over the years, he tried many ways

and finally found Qiong pollen

to attract the butterflies,

but Ms. Cai had already passed.

This is for you.

♪But I can't forget your face♪

♪Life♪

♪Passes swiftly♪

♪Time is long♪

♪Pleasures are few♪

You deliberately mention my aunt today,

risking offending Lady Yin,

to stir conflict between us.

Now, you use these butterflies

to make me recall past emotions.

What exactly do you want?

♪In the end♪

I can't tell if those around me are good.

I only trust you.

I want to remind you

not to easily trust others.

♪Liquor is strong♪

I also hope you'll protect me

for the sake of the bond

between Ms. Cai and my father.

How do you want me to protect you?

♪Leaving only me♪

I'm still poisoned.

Uncle Lei told me to go to recover at Herb Hut.

I wonder

if you'd accompany me.

(Uncle Lei?)

Lei Xiuming

is praised by thousands.

He's the most beautiful man

in Jianghu.

(Herb Hut)

Pink in spring,

blue in summer,

yellow in autumn,

and white in winter.

He dresses better than the girls.

(Lei Xiuming, Qingque Sect)

I must look differently

from what your aunt said.

She rarely mentioned Qingque Sect

but often spoke of you

and Uncle Guo.

They're gone.

Only I, an invalid,

struggle to survive.

Past events

are better left unmentioned.

Uncle Lei, you are in the top three

on the Celebrity List.

They say you are

the greatest healer.

All heroes respect you.

Master.

Xingjia is ready.

Let's go.

Jueyinshu acupoint,

half a cun.

Uncle Lei,

that is a fatal acupoint.

Seeking life in death.

A risky medical move.

Uncle Lei, brilliant.

Zhao.

Ning,

I'm just an amateur.

If I make a mistake,

don't blame me.

It's fine.

Only half a life at risk.

Zhao,

don't worry.

(Irregular pulse.)

(Hidden old poison.)

You risked your life on the cliff to protect me

and helped remove my poison.

I'm truly grateful.

I heard you were sickly as a child.

Uncle Chang took great care,

so you never left Chang Fort.

But that night, during the attack,

I saw your agile moves.

During the acupuncture session,

I sensed your immense

and extraordinary inner power.

Since I recovered at ten,

my father often passed on inner power to me.

Uncles in the fort

also taught me everything they knew.

You have such skill

before reaching adulthood.

How gifted.

What about this old poison?

Where did it come from?

I was weak since childhood.

My father once used a counter-poison method

to help me survive.

If it can ease your doubts,

I can write the formula for you.

Ning, how do you feel?

Let's go back.

Zhao,

there seems to be poison in the water.

Chang Ning!

Zhao, what's wrong?

You're fair-skinned and handsome,

refined and noble,

nothing like Uncle Chang.

Zhao,

have you ever seen my mother?

Take medicine.

What's this?

Smiley.

My aunt taught me,

hoping whoever eats it

will be happy.

So sweet.

Since you are fine now,

please go back.

Zhao,

may I stay for a few days?

When my wounds heal,

I'll return to Peace Chamber.

My poison isn't cleared;

someone tampered with the herbal bath.

You can't just watch me die.

My purple jade inkstone!

Don't come near me.

I'll kill you.

The effect is so strong?

You are a murderer!

Oh, my goodness.

I only added a little Truth Teller in the medicine.

Die!

Chang Ning.

Chang Ning,

wake up!

Don't come near.

You killed my father!

You killed my father!

He really is Uncle Chang's son.

I'll kill you!

Chang Ning, wake up!

You killed my father!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Oh, no.

He really thinks I'm his enemy.

Have you heard?

Chang Ning moved into Chunling Cottage.

They're living together.

How improper!

Zhao, be careful.

- Let's go. - Go!

(Glow of Moonlight and Flowers)

Osmanthus and angelica congee.

It calms the mind, regulates qi,

and helps

with staying up late

and headaches.

Last night, I sleepwalked.

I hope I didn't break

anything of yours.

It's fine.

It's understandable for sleepwalking.

I won't mind.

You helped me several times,

gave me sweet congee,

and generously let me stay.

I must reward you handsomely.

Ning,

are you rich?

Father had considerable savings.

Not many rare medicine formulas.

But treasures and money

are hidden in places that only I know.

So, you are rich.

Not really.

But if you protect me

in Qingque Sect,

after going down the mountain,

I'm willing to give all my wealth.

All of it?

Yes.

A gentleman's word?

Hard to retract.

Then it's settled.

I'll protect you.

- Eat up. - Thanks.

Your gesture is wrong here.

Bend it more,

open this side,

and apply force in your palm.

The mindful way of Luoying Valley

will help your wound heal sooner.

I was sickly in childhood.

It also helped me.

- Again. - Okay.

Living in the same chamber,

young and affectionate.

How friendly.

Why are you two here?

Chang has moved here.

Why?

Can't we come?

Just so-so.

I heard

that last night,

you and he

were quite noisy.

Noisy?

More than that.

We were earth-shattering.

My sister and Ning were sparring.

Sparring?

Zhao,

if others hear that you

spent the night together,

it will spread rumors.

Let it spread.

It won't cost me any money, right?

No.

What on earth are you two up to?

That's our secret.

We can't tell you.

It's already autumn.

Why are toads still croaking?

Ning,

your injuries haven't healed yet.

Let's rest first.

Stop right there!

- Lingbo. - What?

Master repeatedly said

no more conflicts with them.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

I'm too lazy to argue with them.

Lingbo.

Didn't you say

that peace brings wealth?

Why provoke her?

I don't want trouble,

but I'm not afraid of it either.

For those who stir conflict,

you must not indulge them.

This is family heritage.

Her grandfather, Yin Dai, relied on words alone

to send your aunt to kill the demon.

Why are you sowing discord again?

To approach me,

you even tampered with the herbal bath

and moved here.

What exactly do you want?

Or,

what do you want me to do?

You're truly clever.

I did all this

just to show you the truth.

The one who pushed your aunt

to kill the demon alone

was Lord Yin.

If you don't believe me,

you can check the secret room in the Library.

I heard

every lord has a handbook.

There must be

some clues in it.

Library?

(Library)

Xuanji Array.

(Pillar of Righteousness)

(6th)

(11th) (Master is the 20th lord.)

(18th) (Yin Dai should be 19th.)

Ning?

What are you doing here?

To return the favor,

I'm here to search

for the truth with you.
