=Episode 4=

While searching for clues,

I unexpectedly learned

the Changs had an old steward surnamed Jiang.

Five years ago,

the steward retired to his hometown

and took a boy with him.

After much investigation,

at Steward Jiang's grave,

I found Mr. Jiang, who resembles the late Mr. Chang,

or rather,

the real Chang Ning.

If he's Chang Ning,

who am I?

I also want to know who you are

and why you impersonated me.

My mother died 12 years ago.

You claim to be Chang Ning,

but do you know Mrs. Chang's birthday?

The 16th day of the 11th month.

Where was Mrs. Chang from?

Suzhou.

What was her favorite?

She liked sweets.

Her favorite was

Furong Pastry

from Jiangnan Yipinju.

Under the desk in the study,

there is a character engraved.

What is it?

16 years ago,

my father went to the demon sect

to help Ms. Cai Pingshu.

My mother suddenly fell ill

and accidentally tipped over the stove,

burning my left arm.

Do you have

a scar on your arm?

What's wrong?

Too afraid to show it?

Clearly, he's hiding something.

I suppose everyone knows

who the real one is now.

The Chang residence has been dug up.

Everything was destroyed.

Those with ulterior motives

can surely make up stories at will.

Let me ask you.

On the 3rd shelf, 4th row

of my father's study bookshelf,

there's also a character.

What is it?

A dog once bit me when I was little,

leaving a scar on my calf.

Do you dare roll up your pants

so everyone can see?

Nonsense.

There is no scar.

Indeed.

It's your story against mine.

All of you here are respected figures.

Yet you've fallen into this trap of self-proof.

If so,

why not fight

with your family's Willow Sword?

This swordsmanship

can't be faked, right?

As you wish.

Lord Qi,

you knew my father well.

You know I've been sickly since childhood,

only practicing internal cultivation

to strengthen meridians,

unable to train in swordsmanship.

That's why my father

kept me away from Jianghu,

never letting me go out.

Lord Song,

if you intend to play a trick,

at least take it seriously

and pick someone skilled in martial arts.

This way,

you're only humiliating yourself.

You...

As everyone knows,

Ning has been sickly since childhood.

It is understandable that Mr. Chang

did not teach him martial arts.

Xiuming,

you know Chang Haosheng well,

and you treated his injuries.

Speak up.

Who is real?

Lord Song,

you found the person.

I only treat injuries.

I don't care who he is.

- You... - My father just passed.

Instead of seeking the culprit,

you found a man

resembling my father

and put on such a show.

What do you want?

Who'd act with you?

Enough.

This is serious.

Since it's hard to tell,

let me test

their internal cultivation.

Uncle Li,

that requires injecting

internal energy into meridians.

Isn't that too harsh?

Yunke?

Zhao is right.

Don't harm the real Ning.

Uncle Li,

Chang Ning's injuries are not healed.

At this rate, he may die.

Their true energy

was cultivated with the Changs' techniques.

Their meridians are damaged.

Their lives are at risk.

Yunke,

let me take them back to heal.

Examine them tomorrow.

He's fine.

He'll wake up soon.

You don't care

who the real one is?

As I said,

I only treat illnesses.

That's Breeze, my father's favorite.

Drinks in spring

last ten years.

Since you know

so many family secrets,

you must be close to Chang.

Tomorrow,

if there's more to say,

think it through first,

or you two

may not end well.

Zhao,

why hold an empty bowl?

Craving meat?

I want wonton.

Zhao,

does the collarbone hurt

when pierced?

Of course,

why ask that?

I just went to the kitchen for food.

Zhuang Shu said

that tomorrow,

if no conclusion is reached,

Uncle Li

will lock their collarbones,

crippling their martial arts,

to prevent future trouble.

Zhuo...

Yuzhi.

Sleeping drug.

Chang Ning!

Bring the crossbow.

Why pull me down?

Didn't you come here

to leave with me?

Your leaving

will only prove you're a spy.

When you're wanted,

how will you survive?

I'm already doomed.

If I can't avenge while alive,

death is better.

Don't you know

what they will do to me?

Capture the assassin!

We are not assassins.

You must be from Taichu Temple.

We are from Qingque Sect.

(Qiu Yuanfeng, Lord of Taichu Temple)

You must be here

to attend the memorial, right?

(Wang Yuanjing) Such a long journey

must be exhausting.

Did you really get here by accident?

Yes.

A misunderstanding.

Originally...

Chang Ning!

Chang Ning.

Lord Qiu,

he's a fugitive from Qingque Sect.

Please let me take him away.

Who are you?

Why did you attack me?

You're the one who raided Chang Fort

and killed my father.

An impostor's words

are not credible.

I'm the killer?

Where's the evidence?

When my father escorted me out,

he fought one of the assassins for a long time.

His attacks had a sandalwood fragrance,

the same

as Lord Qiu carries.

Nonsense.

Taichu Temple is so close to Chang Fort.

Yet they knew nothing

of the great commotion

in Chang Fort?

Indeed.

I wasn't at the temple back then.

Moreover,

Chang Fort had been hidden

in the mountains for over a decade,

cut off from the outside world.

As for the fragrance,

Yuanjing,

please explain to everyone.

Lord Qi,

this incense is our special Ethereal,

crafted with rosewood and Qiong flowers.

It calms energy

and aids cultivation.

Many practitioners

sought it.

Mr. Chang's suspicion of Yuanfeng

was just youthful ignorance.

What Mr. Chang?

He is clearly an unknown spy,

stirring discord.

Lord Qiu, you appear clean.

You only got your position

after Mr. Wu Yuanying's death,

yet you expelled his beloved Luo Yuanrong...

Nonsense.

How dare you smear me?

Such a schemer

should be executed.

Wait.

Pingchun, Xiaofeng,

you're back.

When we were about to come back,

we met Mr. Jiang at the cliff base.

Mr. Jiang said

Ning is in trouble

and asked us to take him up.

Mr. Jiang,

Lord Qi is also here.

Tell us

everything you know.

He is the real Chang Ning.

Fraud!

Was this from Father?

I'll distract them.

You take the chance to leave.

We are actually both Changs.

What do you mean?

His mother is Mrs. Chang;

my mother

was just a village girl

who had a brief affair with Mr. Chang.

Because of my lowly birth,

I was treated as Steward Jiang's adopted son,

so I felt resentful.

That day at the grave, I met Lord Song

and learning of the Changs' tragedy.

Then I decided to take his place.

You didn't say that before.

You said

you'd avenge your father.

That's true.

Though Mr. Chang disowned me,

he was still my father.

He was killed,

and I must avenge him.

Nonsense.

Both of you

are still suspicious.

Qi,

Xiaofeng and I found

the Changs' belongings

at a pawnshop near Hanhai Mountains.

Following the clues,

we infiltrated the demon sect

and discovered the culprit is the Demonic Camp.

We learned that over a year ago,

the demon sect had an internal conflict,

the young master Mu Qingyan was killed,

and Nie Zhe

secured the leader position.

Lately, they've expanded their followers

and trained death squads,

likely targeting the Six Sects of Beichen,

planning large-scale revenge.

Alright.

Now, the truth is clear.

For safety,

both of you

should stay here.

As for revenge,

after the memorial,

the Six Sects

will give you an answer.

Thank you, Lord Qi.

Since you can't leave,

Mr. Jiang, why not stay

and help with my herb fields,

as a way to strengthen your health?

You've left.

Why get involved?

I didn't know Father's plan

and almost endangered you.

Sorry.

Your survival

is the greatest comfort

to Mr. Chang's spirit.

Is the culprit

really the Demonic Camp?

Not only them.

Qiu Yuanfeng is also involved.

Taichu Temple...

I'll avenge the Changs.

Don't act recklessly.

Neither should you.

As the lord of a temple,

Qiu Yuanfeng ranks in the top ten among the elites.

Targeting him is suicide.

Master will investigate thoroughly.

You and Mr. Jiang

should just stay here.

Zhao, don't worry.

The Peng bird is injured;

I can't leave either.

The Golden Peng recognizes its master.

How could it obey you?

My father raised it.

I heard from Mother

that Uncle Chang had a harsh childhood

with scarce food.

How could he have raised a Peng bird?

Zhao.

Why don't you ask

who I really am?

Jiang Ning fabricated an identity to protect you.

Uncle Chang taught you his martial arts

without reservation,

even risking his life to protect you.

I'm sure they had their reasons.

You must be someone they trust.

They trust you;

I trust them.

I don't know your real name yet,

so I'll treat you as Chang Ning.

As long as you do nothing evil,

I'll protect you

and keep you out of danger.

Zhao, you don't need to follow me.

I'm just going to Herb Hut,

not to confront Qiu Yuanfeng

or the demon sect.

This involves the demon sect.

The Six Sects will surely unite,

cooperating fully.

Perhaps by now,

they're already making arrangements,

carrying out their duty.

Truly,

working together

against a common enemy.

How affectionate.

So, it's Zhao

and Chang.

The young master of Peiqiong Manor

is about to arrive.

Zhao,

don't forget your betrothal,

to avoid gossip.

You didn't know?

Zhao is engaged.

Their families are old friends.

The young master, Zhou Yuqi,

and Zhao

are childhood sweethearts,

a perfect match.

Zhao,

why didn't you tell Chang

so he

wouldn't stay

with another man's fiancée?

Do you hear me?

I was looking for Yuzhi.

His fiancée stays with another man.

Yuzhi

is so broad-minded.

You...

Zhao,

that's nonsense.

Exactly, nonsense!

Yuqi

is Zhao's fiancé.

When her training ends,

she'll become the young mistress of Peiqiong Manor.

I heard

Lord Zhou and your aunt were once engaged,

but he married someone else.

Won't your families have resentment?

What resentment?

My aunt arranged that marriage.

Then why did your aunt

accept this marriage?

Take the medicine.

What kind of person

is Zhou Yuqi?

A refined gentleman,

kind and warm,

nice and friendly,

pleasant as a spring breeze.

Chang,

my Smiley!

Run, run, run!

Don't come over!

Zhao.

(Zhou Yuqi, Min Xinrou, Peiqiong Manor)

Yuqi.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Why are you here?

I collected many rare items

and came early

with Father

to give them to you.

Yuqi,

where's the big kite you promised me?

Xinrou has made it for you.

It's there.

Han, come with me.

Do you like it?

Yuqi,

this is Chang Ning.

Ning,

I was deeply saddened to hear

about the massacre.

Ning,

please accept my condolences.

My father has passed,

and injustice remains unresolved.

No need

for empty sympathy.

My father and Mr. Chang were old friends.

I especially brought

a Warm Jade Qilin,

conducive to cultivating internal power.

Perfect for Ning.

Then I'll thank you on his behalf.

No need.

What's this?

Xinrou made this hairpin

with mermaid tears for your mother.

I heard she already had one,

so this makes a pair.

You're so thoughtful.

And this?

These are rare storybooks collected by Xinrou.

Many are unique copies.

I was worried about that.

Xinrou, thank you.

We're family.

No need for thanks.

Chang Ning,

why throw a tantrum?

Are you going to listen to your aunt

and marry Zhou Yuqi?

What's wrong with that?

What if he's not right for you?

I can remarry.

Not a big deal.

Marriage is serious.

Your aunt is gone.

If you don't like it,

you can break the betrothal.

Marrying Yuqi is quite good.

Peiqiong Manor is beautiful,

the town is bustling,

and the surrounding cities and towns

have everything.

It's livelier than Luoying Valley.

Yuqi has treated me well since childhood.

After marriage,

Peiqiong Manor will be mine.

Chang Ning, what are you scheming?

(Determination and Force) Look at yourself.

Think it about it.

Marriage is not for you to decide.

Chang Ning.

I'm too young to get married.

Moreover, Grandfather is ill...

He is cared for by the Huangsha gang.

You need not worry.

(Yang Heying) Marrying into Guangtian Sect

(Sha, Lady of Siqi Sect) is a rare opportunity.

Why are you so ungrateful?

I...

You are my daughter.

You must obey me.

This is settled; no more discussion.

This is Lord Yang of Siqi Sect.

What does he

want again?

Zhao.

Did you just see an old woman?

What old woman?

You must've been mistaken.

In the dead of night,

what are you doing here?

(Breeze)

Breeze.

Zhao, do you want to try it?

Your wounds aren't healed.

How can you drink?

(Breeze)

(Why is one jar missing?)

(Breeze)

Father,

Mother,

do you think someone

would steal wine here?

Steal wine?

Of course.

Your aunt has stolen before.

My aunt had such a habit?

Yes.

Your aunt

loved the wine brewed by Lei.

But the ingredients

were rare,

and Lei was reluctant to give more.

So, she went to the wine cellar

with Wu and Yuanrong to steal some.

Is the wine

Breeze?

Come on.

Let's drink.

- Come on. - Cheers!

- Cheers! - Come on.

Cheers!

Breeze!

♪In the martial world♪

♪With a shining cup♪

♪I drink with delight tonight♪

♪Free to wander♪

♪In the world♪

(Luo Yuanrong, Taichu Temple)

(Wu Yuanying, Taichu Temple)

Come on.

Here.

Yes, it's Breeze.

That's history.

Unfortunately,

those who drank with us then

are all gone,

even Yuanrong

has disappeared.

(Spirit Tablet of Founder Beichen)

Great-aunt.

(Abbess Jingyuan, Abbess of Xuankong Nunnery)

Abbess Jingyuan.

(Zhou Zhizhen, Peiqiong Manor)

Uncle Zhou.

Lord Yang of Siqi Sect.

Strike the bell.

Zhao,

why strike the bronze bell

before the memorial?

This is impressive.

Indeed.

Impressive.

Yes.

The bell was left by the Founder,

cast from underwater iron.

Ordinary people can't ring it.

As expected of Lord Yang.

Officially, it informs

the gods from all directions.

In fact, it intimidates the martial world:

Without this skill,

don't envy the status of the Six Sects.

Lord Song

of Guangtian Sect.

Strike the bell.

Lord Song is impressive.

His internal force penetrates the bell.

Truly amazing.

Lord Qiu

of Taichu Temple.

Strike the bell.

12 moves from one palm.

12 moves.

There's always

someone better.

As expected of Lord Qiu.

Lord Qiu is peerless.

Not inferior to the late Ms. Cai Pingshu.

Indeed.

We are enlightened.

You flatter me.

I dare not

compare myself to Ms. Cai.

But I never slack,

practicing day and night,

only to uphold our reputation

and restore our prestige.

Lord Qiu is so upright.

Indeed.

As expected of Lord Qiu.

How upright.

Yes.

Why does he speak like that?

Isn't he saying

that Qingque Sect has shamed the Six Sects?

The auspicious time of the memorial

can't be delayed.

They vanished.

This is incredible.

Qingque Sect is still the best.

No wonder it's the top sect.

Worthy of its reputation.

Lord Qi is impressive.

Your Beichen Way

softens hardness.

The greatest sound is almost silent.

It has reached perfection.

I respect it.

Thank you for your praise.

Everyone,

in times of peace,

with the world at ease,

we honor the Founder

and pay tribute to the spirit of Founder Beichen.

We hope all martial peers

will join our Six Sects,

uphold justice for the people,

take the safety of the common folk as our duty,

and promote the righteous path.

Promote the righteous path.

Promote the righteous path.

You're the one who broke into the cellar last night.

Who exactly are you?

You are Cai Pingshu's niece, right?

Why are you helping these cold-blooded beasts?

You know my aunt?

Who are you?

Why barge in here

and ruin our memorial?

Ms. Luo?

Yuanrong.

Yuanrong.

Why are you here?

I'm the disciple of Master Canghuan,

former lord of Taichu Temple.

Why shouldn't I come?

Lord Qi,

I came here because...

Yuanrong,

this is the 200th anniversary of the Founder's passing.

Such a solemn and serious day.

If you act rashly,

I'll have to kill you.

Yuanfeng,

Yuanrong may be stubborn,

but she doesn't deserve to die.

Silence.

Yuanrong,

for the sake of our shared fellowship,

return with me to Taichu Temple.

I won't harm you.

Senior Qiu,

Ms. Luo has managed to come here.

Surely, she has an urgent matter.

Why do you keep stopping her?

This is within our sect.

How can a junior speak now?

Yuanrong was our childhood friend.

She lost her beloved.

It's not easy that she survived.

She's here today;

why not let her speak?

Abbess Jingyuan,

Lord Qi,

I do not intend to cause trouble on the memorial,

but without everyone present,

I fear my immense grievance can't be voiced.

Please, for my late master's sake,

allow me to speak a few words.

Luo Yuanrong,

you've caused enough trouble these years.

Why not retreat now?

Lord Qiu,

it's reached this point.

Rather than suppress it,

it's better to reveal everything

and clear the misunderstanding

before the Founder's spirit.

It truly is a misunderstanding.

As you all know,

Wu Yuanying of our sect

died over ten years ago in a battle with the demon sect.

However,

since then,

Yuanrong could not let go,

insisting he was still alive.

For over ten years, she's repeatedly pressured us

to infiltrate the demon sect to rescue him,

or falsely claimed

I killed Yuanying,

wrongly accusing me.

At that time,

Master learned that the demon sect used

living humans to create corpse slaves.

He resolved to protect the people.

He called martial heroes,

split into groups,

and went to the Hanhai Mountains to fight evil.

That day,

everyone battled the demon sect.

Yuanying and his team

encountered Elder Kaiyang of Nie Hengcheng.

Knowing he could not win,

- he shouted for retreat. - Retreat!

(Young Qiu Yuanfeng)

But Qiu Yuanfeng, greedy for merit,

recklessly attacked.

Kaiyang was infuriated.

Yuanying, disregarding danger,

sacrificed himself to save him.

- Run! - Okay!

Qiu Yuanfeng abandoned Yuanying

and fled.

Exactly.

That day, Yuanying saved me.

But I'm not cowardly.

I only escaped

by Yuanying's orders.

When Yuanying told you to escape,

you didn't.

You caused trouble,

provoked Kaiyang, and ran away?

Lord Qiu,

take responsibility for the mess you caused.

Running after causing havoc?

Isn't that

leaving Yuanying to die?

I'll never forget

the life-saving debt.

But ultimately,

we were all trying to defeat the demon.

How am I wrong?

Yuanying isn't dead!

Your obsession

has disrupted the sect.

Yuanying is dead!

Yuanying is alive.

You are so stubborn.

Fine.

If what you say is true,

produce convincing evidence.

(Wu Xiong, Wu Gang, Taichu Temple)

Yuanying,

I'm Qi Yunke.

Can you hear me?

Yuanying!

Yuanying!

These demon sect beasts

are worse than animals.

Impossible.

I saw him die

with my own eyes.

Where did you find him?

You must've colluded with the demon sect.

You are right.

I indeed entered the demon sect.

Over a year ago,

I once again clashed with Qiu Yuanfeng.

Why didn't you save Yuanying?

Let go!

Tell me!

Expel her.

Yes.

He severely injured me.

Mr. Chang Haosheng saved me.

Yuanrong?

(Chang Fort)

(Chang Fort)

I disguised myself as an ugly scavenger woman

and searched every dungeon and prison

along Youming Path

for a whole year.

Finally, in the EightClaw Prison,

I found Yuanying.

Yuanying!

His eyes were gouged, his tongue cut, and ligaments severed.

He was soaked in poison.

For over ten years,

Yuanying lived

a life worse than death,

tormented little

by little

to this state.

You knew all along?

I did not know Yuanying was alive.

Even if I did,

returning would've been certain death.

What could I do?

Many

survived the great battle.

I tracked them down one by one,

asked carefully

and clearly.

Qiu Yuanfeng,

could you really not save Yuanying?

You harbored resentment for him,

thinking that as long as he lived,

you'd have no chance to rise.

So, you abandoned him.

Everyone, don't let her fool you.

Yuanying has been trapped

in the demon sect's prison for years.

How could he be rescued easily

and happen to appear at the memorial?

This is the demon sect's plot

to slander me,

sow discord,

and divide our Six Sects.

How evil their hearts are.

Qiu Yuanfeng,

do you still want to twist the truth?

I only want to prevent Yuanying

from being used by your demon sect.

Watch out! It's Thunderstorm!
