00:01:37,155 --> 00:01:40,055
[Episode 6]

2
00:01:40,656 --> 00:01:42,470
He saved me.

3
00:01:43,114 --> 00:01:44,123
I thought

4
00:01:44,123 --> 00:01:45,957
he only wanted a test of skill.

5
00:01:45,957 --> 00:01:48,690
So I didn't see the need to expose him.

6
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:51,356
I didn't expect him to steal the official seal.

7
00:01:51,356 --> 00:01:54,023
He lost his nerve. Right at the end.

8
00:01:54,023 --> 00:01:55,423
He thought he couldn't defeat you,

9
00:01:55,423 --> 00:01:57,456
so he ran away in a hurry.

10
00:01:57,456 --> 00:01:59,256
Let's go to Xiankong Island.

11
00:01:59,256 --> 00:02:02,056
Now? It's like walking into a trap.

12
00:02:02,056 --> 00:02:03,523
That's those rats' nest.

13
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:05,156
He has so many brothers there.

14
00:02:05,156 --> 00:02:08,256
Maybe, this is their idea to trick you there.

15
00:02:08,256 --> 00:02:11,423
If word gets out that Lord Bao's official seal
is lost,

16
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:14,256
certain will seize the chance to make trouble.

17
00:02:14,256 --> 00:02:16,256
Even if I'm walking into a trap,

18
00:02:16,256 --> 00:02:18,611
I must go there.

19
00:02:21,289 --> 00:02:23,190
This place is really nice.

20
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:24,823
The water is clearer,

21
00:02:24,823 --> 00:02:26,923
and the breeze is gentle.

22
00:02:26,923 --> 00:02:29,656
My Lord, are we almost at Xiankong Island?

23
00:02:29,656 --> 00:02:31,690
Yes.

24
00:02:31,690 --> 00:02:34,090
Ahead of us is a field of reeds.

25
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:35,523
Xiankong Island is to the south.

26
00:02:35,523 --> 00:02:38,523
Are you really going to Xiankong Island?

27
00:02:38,523 --> 00:02:39,690
Yes.

28
00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:41,323
I hear the island has fine views.

29
00:02:41,323 --> 00:02:43,090
I want to take a look.

30
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:44,956
Don't do that.

31
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:46,289
On Xiankong Island,

32
00:02:46,289 --> 00:02:48,123
there's the Five Rats' private estate.

33
00:02:48,123 --> 00:02:51,056
Not a pleasure garden for idle sightseers.

34
00:02:51,056 --> 00:02:53,056
The Five Rats?

35
00:02:53,056 --> 00:02:55,956
Are they also known as the Five Justices?

36
00:02:55,956 --> 00:02:57,223
Their leader

37
00:02:57,223 --> 00:02:59,123
is Lu Fang, known as Zuantian Rat.

38
00:02:59,123 --> 00:03:01,870
Exactly true.

39
00:03:01,870 --> 00:03:04,223
People say the Five Justices are chivalrous

40
00:03:04,223 --> 00:03:06,156
and love to make friends.

41
00:03:06,156 --> 00:03:08,656
I doubt they'd refuse us a visit.

42
00:03:08,656 --> 00:03:09,756
Usually,

43
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:12,250
if you talk to them nicely, it might work.

44
00:03:12,250 --> 00:03:14,090
But it definitely won't work these days.

45
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:15,423
A few days ago,

46
00:03:15,423 --> 00:03:17,889
I took a fruit merchant there.

47
00:03:17,889 --> 00:03:20,156
He was kicked out as soon as he landed.

48
00:03:20,156 --> 00:03:21,956
Lately, the docks on Xiankong Island

49
00:03:21,956 --> 00:03:24,273
have been guarded.

50
00:03:24,273 --> 00:03:25,923
No one is allowed to enter.

51
00:03:25,923 --> 00:03:27,556
Maybe

52
00:03:27,556 --> 00:03:28,930
that Jinmao Rat

53
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:30,523
got into some trouble again

54
00:03:30,523 --> 00:03:33,260
and is hiding on the island.

55
00:03:34,556 --> 00:03:36,023
So,

56
00:03:36,023 --> 00:03:38,323
Bai Yu Tang doesn't seem to be well spoken of.

57
00:03:38,323 --> 00:03:40,823
The first four of the Five Rats

58
00:03:40,823 --> 00:03:42,423
are quite reasonable.

59
00:03:42,423 --> 00:03:43,456
But this one,

60
00:03:43,456 --> 00:03:44,623
Bai Yu Tang the Jinmao Rat,

61
00:03:44,623 --> 00:03:46,203
has a strange personality.

62
00:03:46,203 --> 00:03:48,369
You won't get far reasoning with him.

63
00:03:48,369 --> 00:03:50,253
I heard that not long ago,

64
00:03:50,253 --> 00:03:55,810
a young man was beaten by Bai Yu Tang,
simply for being better looking than him.

65
00:03:55,810 --> 00:03:58,703
While beating him, Bai Yu Tang said,

66
00:03:58,703 --> 00:04:03,303
"If I see you appearing around here again,

67
00:04:03,303 --> 00:04:05,436
I'll ruin your face.

68
00:04:05,436 --> 00:04:07,590
Best stop calling yourself handsome.

69
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:10,502
All that 'everyone loves me' is just a laugh."

70
00:04:11,203 --> 00:04:13,256
Look at you.

71
00:04:13,256 --> 00:04:14,490
Once you're on the island,

72
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:16,833
you'll probably get beaten up too.

73
00:04:16,833 --> 00:04:18,123
A rat beating up a cat?

74
00:04:18,123 --> 00:04:20,856
That's a first for me.

75
00:04:20,856 --> 00:04:22,956
There must be some misunderstanding.

76
00:04:22,956 --> 00:04:24,256
Still don't believe me?

77
00:04:24,256 --> 00:04:25,623
I've warned you.

78
00:04:25,623 --> 00:04:27,423
Go ahead if you want.

79
00:04:27,423 --> 00:04:28,656
If

80
00:04:28,656 --> 00:04:31,290
you truly anger Bai Yu Tang,

81
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:33,656
go to Mohua Village in Songjiang Prefecture.

82
00:04:33,656 --> 00:04:34,700
Seek out Chief Ding.

83
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:36,623
His family is
on good terms with Xiankong Island.

84
00:04:36,623 --> 00:04:40,060
Perhaps he can put in a good word for you.

85
00:04:41,089 --> 00:04:42,256
In that case,

86
00:04:42,256 --> 00:04:46,270
let's head to the Ding's first.

87
00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:47,902
All right.

88
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:06,290
I heard you say earlier

89
00:05:06,290 --> 00:05:08,323
that you lived in Songjiang for a while.

90
00:05:08,323 --> 00:05:11,089
Don't tell me you're staying at the Ding's.

91
00:05:11,089 --> 00:05:12,623
That's true.

92
00:05:12,623 --> 00:05:13,889
I learned Heavenward Crane Strike

93
00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:16,323
from Uncle Ding.

94
00:05:16,323 --> 00:05:17,456
So,

95
00:05:17,456 --> 00:05:18,690
the rumors are true?

96
00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:20,089
What rumors?

97
00:05:20,089 --> 00:05:22,456
That you are the Ding family's
recognized son-in-law.

98
00:05:22,456 --> 00:05:26,422
And that's why Ding taught you
Heavenward Crane Strike.

99
00:05:29,256 --> 00:05:32,089
How can you believe such gossip?

100
00:05:32,089 --> 00:05:35,023
Our families have been friends for generations.

101
00:05:35,023 --> 00:05:36,656
Uncle Ding told me that the Zhan family

102
00:05:36,656 --> 00:05:38,456
once did the Ding family a favor.

103
00:05:38,456 --> 00:05:40,556
So he taught me Heavenward Crane Strike

104
00:05:40,556 --> 00:05:43,656
to fulfill his wish of repaying that debt.

105
00:05:43,656 --> 00:05:44,856
That's how it is.

106
00:05:44,856 --> 00:05:46,423
My Lord, don't you worry.

107
00:05:46,423 --> 00:05:49,889
I'll do everything to put this rumor to rest.

108
00:05:49,889 --> 00:05:51,889
Soon you'll be back at the top of the list

109
00:05:51,889 --> 00:05:54,490
ladies in the capital most want to marry.

110
00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:55,756
What list?

111
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:56,889
Forget it.

112
00:05:56,889 --> 00:05:58,750
But must be careful.

113
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:00,270
Such romantic rumors

114
00:06:00,270 --> 00:06:01,942
always break a young lady's heart.

115
00:06:01,942 --> 00:06:03,323
It affects your ranking.

116
00:06:03,323 --> 00:06:04,690
Stay away from those rumors.

117
00:06:04,690 --> 00:06:05,923
Just maintain your good image.

118
00:06:05,923 --> 00:06:09,056
After all, being a hero isn't easy.

119
00:06:09,056 --> 00:06:11,256
You know quite a lot about how to be a hero.

120
00:06:11,256 --> 00:06:12,356
Of course.

121
00:06:12,356 --> 00:06:14,679
Take my word for it.

122
00:06:21,556 --> 00:06:23,654
[Ding Zhao Hui, one of the Ding Twins]
Zhan!

123
00:06:24,623 --> 00:06:26,556
What brings you here?

124
00:06:26,556 --> 00:06:28,823
Why didn't you tell us you were coming?

125
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:30,656
I decided on the spur of the moment.

126
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,670
Are you heading out?

127
00:06:32,670 --> 00:06:36,690
Yes. I heard Shen Zhong Yuan
is holding a gathering at his estate.

128
00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:38,623
Such a big event, I have to see it.

129
00:06:38,623 --> 00:06:40,523
You haven't changed at all.

130
00:06:40,523 --> 00:06:41,623
Ming Zhu Er.

131
00:06:41,623 --> 00:06:44,156
This is Ding Zhao Hui, one of the Ding Twins.

132
00:06:44,156 --> 00:06:45,523
And this is Ming Zhu Er.

133
00:06:45,523 --> 00:06:48,690
So you're the real Ding. The second brother.

134
00:06:48,690 --> 00:06:50,356
The real Ding?

135
00:06:50,356 --> 00:06:51,523
What do you mean?

136
00:06:51,523 --> 00:06:53,923
Is someone pretending to be me?

137
00:06:53,923 --> 00:06:55,623
It's a long story.

138
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:56,623
Zhao Hui.

139
00:06:56,623 --> 00:06:57,690
I came all this way

140
00:06:57,690 --> 00:07:01,410
to ask the Ding family for help with something.

141
00:07:03,699 --> 00:07:05,956
So that's what happened.

142
00:07:05,956 --> 00:07:07,556
Pretending to be me? That I can forgive.

143
00:07:07,556 --> 00:07:09,856
But taking the seal? How stupid.

144
00:07:09,856 --> 00:07:11,423
When the imperial court investigates,

145
00:07:11,423 --> 00:07:13,056
the Five Rats will share the blame.

146
00:07:13,056 --> 00:07:14,456
I have long heard of

147
00:07:14,456 --> 00:07:15,930
the Five Justices of Xiankong Island.

148
00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:17,000
I respect them greatly.

149
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,356
Though I haven't known Bai Yu Tang for long,

150
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,756
I know he is a chivalrous man.

151
00:07:21,756 --> 00:07:24,023
That's why I'd rather not let this escalate.

152
00:07:24,023 --> 00:07:25,956
I only wish to persuade him

153
00:07:25,956 --> 00:07:27,356
to return the official seal

154
00:07:27,356 --> 00:07:28,623
and explain to Lord Bao.

155
00:07:28,623 --> 00:07:30,690
Then the matter can be settled.

156
00:07:30,690 --> 00:07:33,423
My Lord, isn't that letting him off too easily?

157
00:07:33,423 --> 00:07:35,230
The boatman said earlier

158
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:38,290
that he hits people just because
he's jealous of their looks.

159
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:41,690
Look, he even kicked me for no reason.

160
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:44,356
What kind of chivalrous man is he?

161
00:07:44,356 --> 00:07:46,156
Don't believe those rumors.

162
00:07:46,156 --> 00:07:49,690
Bai Yu Tang beat up Hua Chong,
nicknamed "Flower Butterfly".

163
00:07:49,690 --> 00:07:51,690
That man harassed the Guo family's daughter.

164
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:53,923
Bai Yu Tang only acted to right a wrong.

165
00:07:53,923 --> 00:07:55,170
He just didn't expect

166
00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:56,946
that Hua Chong refused to admit fault.

167
00:07:56,946 --> 00:07:58,210
He distorted the truth

168
00:07:58,210 --> 00:07:59,523
and slandered Bai Yu Tang.

169
00:07:59,523 --> 00:08:00,556
The Guo family

170
00:08:00,556 --> 00:08:03,423
feared gossip about the girl.

171
00:08:03,423 --> 00:08:08,556
So they didn't clarify anything.
The rumors twisted and grew worse with telling.

172
00:08:08,556 --> 00:08:09,823
I see.

173
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:10,823
Zhan.

174
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:13,250
You said you needed help from the Ding family.

175
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:14,956
Do you mean going to Xiankong Island?

176
00:08:14,956 --> 00:08:16,223
Exactly.

177
00:08:16,223 --> 00:08:19,089
I heard that the island has been closed.

178
00:08:19,089 --> 00:08:20,156
No visitors are allowed.

179
00:08:20,156 --> 00:08:21,290
I have just arrived.

180
00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:23,490
I'm afraid it wouldn't be proper
to barge onto the island.

181
00:08:23,490 --> 00:08:25,775
So I'd like to ask the Ding family

182
00:08:25,775 --> 00:08:27,729
to handle this for me.

183
00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:36,890
No need to put yourself out if it's hard.

184
00:08:36,890 --> 00:08:37,890
No, no, no.

185
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:40,223
Zhan, the Ding family will definitely help you.

186
00:08:40,223 --> 00:08:42,023
Why don't we go there right now?

187
00:08:42,023 --> 00:08:43,802
Zhao Hui.

188
00:08:45,256 --> 00:08:46,656
It's getting a bit late

189
00:08:46,656 --> 00:08:47,723
to be setting out for the island now.

190
00:08:47,723 --> 00:08:49,456
How about this? Keep your things.

191
00:08:49,456 --> 00:08:51,489
I'll go check on Zhao Lan and Yue Hua.

192
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,690
That sounds better.

193
00:08:54,690 --> 00:08:57,423
Ding Zhao Hui didn't seem the least bit angry,

194
00:08:57,423 --> 00:08:59,223
not even after that white rat stole his name.

195
00:08:59,223 --> 00:09:01,356
Instead, he helped clean up the mess.

196
00:09:01,356 --> 00:09:02,523
It seems

197
00:09:02,523 --> 00:09:04,456
they have a good relationship.

198
00:09:04,456 --> 00:09:06,756
Those two must share the same nature.

199
00:09:06,756 --> 00:09:08,856
Both martial arts fanatics.

200
00:09:08,856 --> 00:09:10,489
Bai Yu Tang went to the capital

201
00:09:10,489 --> 00:09:13,123
and stole the official seal,
just to test his skill against mine.

202
00:09:13,123 --> 00:09:14,356
When Zhao Hui was young,

203
00:09:14,356 --> 00:09:16,923
to compete with Yue Hua over
who could learn Heavenward Crane Strike,

204
00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:18,490
he locked himself in his room

205
00:09:18,490 --> 00:09:19,656
and didn't eat for three days

206
00:09:19,656 --> 00:09:21,123
just to learn the mental techniques.

207
00:09:21,123 --> 00:09:23,923
So, who won? He or Lady Ding?

208
00:09:23,923 --> 00:09:25,690
The hardest part of Heavenward Crane Strike

209
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,756
is the circulation of inner energy.

210
00:09:27,756 --> 00:09:29,890
The more impatient you are, the harder it is.

211
00:09:29,890 --> 00:09:31,210
But Zhao Hui and Yue Hua

212
00:09:31,210 --> 00:09:32,970
are both impatient.

213
00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:34,290
So the one who finally mastered it

214
00:09:34,290 --> 00:09:36,256
was actually Zhao Lan, their eldest brother,

215
00:09:36,256 --> 00:09:38,723
who is calm-minded.

216
00:09:38,723 --> 00:09:40,756
I heard from the storytellers in Bianjing city

217
00:09:40,756 --> 00:09:42,223
that the Ding Twins

218
00:09:42,223 --> 00:09:43,523
look exactly alike.

219
00:09:43,523 --> 00:09:45,089
My Lord, is that true?

220
00:09:45,089 --> 00:09:46,423
It is indeed.

221
00:09:46,423 --> 00:09:48,890
They are a pair of twins.

222
00:09:48,890 --> 00:09:50,923
The only difference between them is

223
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:53,724
that Zhao Lan has a mole between his eyebrows.

224
00:09:53,724 --> 00:09:58,041
[The Ding family]

225
00:10:02,089 --> 00:10:03,323
Lord Zhan.

226
00:10:03,323 --> 00:10:05,456
Old Ding, it has been a long time.

227
00:10:05,456 --> 00:10:06,690
How is your health?

228
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:07,956
All is well, all is well.

229
00:10:07,956 --> 00:10:10,656
Lord Zhan,
it's been a long time since you last came.

230
00:10:10,656 --> 00:10:12,123
Our young master will be delighted

231
00:10:12,123 --> 00:10:14,323
to lay eyes on you.

232
00:10:14,323 --> 00:10:16,623
Please come in.

233
00:10:16,623 --> 00:10:20,153
Look who's here!

234
00:10:22,123 --> 00:10:24,089
Zhan.

235
00:10:24,089 --> 00:10:26,456
Zhan, what brings you here?

236
00:10:26,456 --> 00:10:27,556
For official business around.

237
00:10:27,556 --> 00:10:29,656
I stopped by to see you and Yue Hua.

238
00:10:29,656 --> 00:10:32,323
If you had arrived a bit earlier,
you would have seen Zhao Hui.

239
00:10:32,323 --> 00:10:33,756
He just left not long ago.

240
00:10:33,756 --> 00:10:34,923
I ran into him on the road.

241
00:10:34,923 --> 00:10:37,748
Is that so? What a coincidence.

242
00:10:39,223 --> 00:10:40,456
Where is Yue Hua?

243
00:10:40,456 --> 00:10:43,690
I recall that no one is permitted

244
00:10:43,690 --> 00:10:44,690
to touch these camellias

245
00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:47,279
save for Yue Hua and that little maid.

246
00:10:47,901 --> 00:10:50,556
That little maid went back home for marriage.

247
00:10:50,556 --> 00:10:51,756
Yue Hua has fallen ill,

248
00:10:51,756 --> 00:10:54,290
and can no longer tend to these flowers.

249
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:56,089
What illness? Is it serious?

250
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:57,423
Take your time.

251
00:10:57,423 --> 00:11:00,317
Let's get inside and talk it through. This way.

252
00:11:01,456 --> 00:11:03,723
Zhao Lan, what illness does Yue Hua have?

253
00:11:03,723 --> 00:11:05,223
Is it truly not serious?

254
00:11:05,223 --> 00:11:06,256
It's not serious.

255
00:11:06,256 --> 00:11:07,890
Just dizziness and a fever this morning.

256
00:11:07,890 --> 00:11:09,823
She has taken medicine
and is resting in her room now.

257
00:11:09,823 --> 00:11:11,856
It's not serious.

258
00:11:11,856 --> 00:11:13,456
She's grown now.

259
00:11:13,456 --> 00:11:16,290
Her chambers are off limits to men now.

260
00:11:16,290 --> 00:11:17,324
I'm afraid you two

261
00:11:17,324 --> 00:11:19,570
won't be able to meet this time.

262
00:11:19,570 --> 00:11:20,756
By the way,

263
00:11:20,756 --> 00:11:23,756
you mentioned earlier
that you are here on official business.

264
00:11:23,756 --> 00:11:25,623
Is there anything I can help you with?

265
00:11:25,623 --> 00:11:28,056
I had a misunderstanding with Bai Yu Tang.

266
00:11:28,056 --> 00:11:29,923
I want to go to the island to clear things up.

267
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:31,156
But I heard that Xiankong Island

268
00:11:31,156 --> 00:11:33,056
is closed to outsiders these few days.

269
00:11:33,056 --> 00:11:35,523
It might be unwise for me
to set foot on the island uninvited.

270
00:11:35,523 --> 00:11:37,089
So may you write a letter

271
00:11:37,089 --> 00:11:38,156
to Chief Lu

272
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:39,523
and explain my purpose for coming?

273
00:11:39,523 --> 00:11:41,123
Easy. Don't worry.

274
00:11:41,123 --> 00:11:43,768
I'll have the letter ready tonight.

275
00:11:44,502 --> 00:11:46,323
Zhao Lan, in a little while,

276
00:11:46,323 --> 00:11:48,023
I'd like to go to Tingfeng Pavilion

277
00:11:48,023 --> 00:11:50,123
to pay my respects to Uncle Ding.

278
00:11:50,123 --> 00:11:51,190
Okay.

279
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:52,823
Zhan, you go ahead.

280
00:11:52,823 --> 00:11:54,023
I'll go check on the meal.

281
00:11:54,023 --> 00:11:55,456
We haven't had guests for a long time.

282
00:11:55,456 --> 00:11:57,826
They might slip.

283
00:11:57,826 --> 00:12:08,902
[Virtue Casts a Long Light.]

284
00:12:29,656 --> 00:12:32,323
It's decorated with such exquisite taste.

285
00:12:32,323 --> 00:12:34,256
Doesn't feel like a wanderer's den,

286
00:12:34,256 --> 00:12:37,489
but more like a scholar's study.

287
00:12:37,489 --> 00:12:38,923
Besides practicing martial arts,

288
00:12:38,923 --> 00:12:40,256
during his lifetime, Uncle Ding was

289
00:12:40,256 --> 00:12:43,256
also quite knowledgeable
in calligraphy, painting, and chess.

290
00:12:43,256 --> 00:12:44,256
Back then,

291
00:12:44,256 --> 00:12:45,923
he taught us martial arts by day.

292
00:12:45,923 --> 00:12:46,923
And at night,

293
00:12:46,923 --> 00:12:48,556
he would take us to Tingfeng Pavilion

294
00:12:48,556 --> 00:12:50,735
to practice calligraphy and play chess.

295
00:12:56,323 --> 00:12:57,656
I remember Uncle Ding

296
00:12:57,656 --> 00:12:59,856
once told me while we played chess

297
00:12:59,856 --> 00:13:01,256
that blind courage alone

298
00:13:01,256 --> 00:13:02,890
is not enough to master martial arts.

299
00:13:02,890 --> 00:13:04,523
A battle in martial arts

300
00:13:04,523 --> 00:13:06,823
is just like a game on a chessboard.

301
00:13:06,823 --> 00:13:09,123
One must remain objective and steady.

302
00:13:09,123 --> 00:13:10,423
Only then

303
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:12,456
can you discern your opponent's intent

304
00:13:12,456 --> 00:13:15,604
and know how to counter and defeat them.

305
00:13:19,510 --> 00:13:20,990
At that time,

306
00:13:20,990 --> 00:13:24,096
I didn't understand his meaning.

307
00:13:24,096 --> 00:13:26,163
I only remember that as we played,

308
00:13:26,163 --> 00:13:28,163
the wind blew through the bamboo forest.

309
00:13:28,163 --> 00:13:29,730
The sound

310
00:13:29,730 --> 00:13:32,328
was truly nice.

311
00:13:36,930 --> 00:13:39,730
No wonder it's called Tingfeng Pavilion.

312
00:13:39,730 --> 00:13:42,033
Let me listen to it too.

313
00:13:47,296 --> 00:13:48,596
My Lord,

314
00:13:48,596 --> 00:13:50,996
I can't hear anything at all.

315
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:53,894
Is it because there's no wind outside?

316
00:13:56,296 --> 00:13:57,563
Lord Zhan,

317
00:13:57,563 --> 00:14:00,527
dinner is ready. Please follow me.

318
00:14:16,666 --> 00:14:18,063
When we were young,

319
00:14:18,063 --> 00:14:20,496
after father taught you
the Heavenward Crane Strike,

320
00:14:20,496 --> 00:14:23,096
my younger brother often teased you about it.

321
00:14:23,096 --> 00:14:24,996
Later, father told us

322
00:14:24,996 --> 00:14:26,296
that the Zhan family

323
00:14:26,296 --> 00:14:27,463
once saved the Ding family.

324
00:14:27,463 --> 00:14:29,696
Teaching you the Heavenward Crane Strike

325
00:14:29,696 --> 00:14:31,563
couldn't repay even a fraction of it.

326
00:14:31,563 --> 00:14:33,263
I toast to you this time.

327
00:14:33,263 --> 00:14:34,430
Our Ding family

328
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:36,696
will never forget the Zhan family's kindness.

329
00:14:36,696 --> 00:14:39,129
Zhao Lan, you're being too formal.

330
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:41,836
There's no need for such talk between us.

331
00:14:52,263 --> 00:14:54,129
I'm sorry, Brother Ding.

332
00:14:54,129 --> 00:14:55,930
I really couldn't help myself.

333
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:57,396
I'm just too hungry.

334
00:14:57,396 --> 00:15:00,368
It's fine. Eat anything you want.

335
00:15:08,930 --> 00:15:10,129
Zhao Lan,

336
00:15:10,129 --> 00:15:12,280
is Yue Hua feeling any better?

337
00:15:13,063 --> 00:15:15,763
Much better. Ying Jie just checked on her.

338
00:15:15,763 --> 00:15:17,809
She's asleep.

339
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:21,263
She has always been very healthy.

340
00:15:21,263 --> 00:15:22,463
It's rare to see her so ill

341
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:24,450
that she can't even leave her room.

342
00:15:24,450 --> 00:15:27,296
You know Yue Hua. She's very stubborn.

343
00:15:27,296 --> 00:15:29,196
She started feeling unwell a few days ago,

344
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:30,510
but she insisted on not seeing a physician.

345
00:15:30,510 --> 00:15:32,996
Now look what happened.
Her treatment was delayed.

346
00:15:32,996 --> 00:15:36,330
That's why it has
become quite serious now.

347
00:15:36,330 --> 00:15:37,396
Brother Ding,

348
00:15:37,396 --> 00:15:38,896
didn't you say earlier

349
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,430
that Lady Ding only started having
a fever and dizziness this morning?

350
00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:43,590
How did it become a "a few days ago"
thing?

351
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:45,869
Really? I must have misspoken then.

352
00:15:45,869 --> 00:15:47,396
Let's not talk about that.

353
00:15:47,396 --> 00:15:48,396
Here, Zhan.

354
00:15:48,396 --> 00:15:50,596
Your official business is more important.

355
00:15:50,596 --> 00:15:52,290
I'll finish writing the letter tonight.

356
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:54,370
Chief Lu never shields faults.

357
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:56,856
And Chief Han was a soldier.

358
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:59,489
They know
the gravity of stealing an official seal.

359
00:15:59,489 --> 00:16:03,964
Bai Yu Tang will listen to the words
of his elder brothers.

360
00:16:06,356 --> 00:16:08,956
Thank you. Zhao Lan.

361
00:16:08,956 --> 00:16:10,489
You're among family here. No ceremony.

362
00:16:10,489 --> 00:16:12,297
Here.

363
00:16:33,723 --> 00:16:35,123
My Lord.

364
00:16:35,123 --> 00:16:39,156
Do you think there's something
strange about the Ding family?

365
00:16:39,156 --> 00:16:40,356
Smart guy.

366
00:16:40,356 --> 00:16:42,256
What did you notice?

367
00:16:42,256 --> 00:16:45,156
I didn't notice anything wrong
with the Ding family.

368
00:16:45,156 --> 00:16:47,223
But I noticed something wrong with you.

369
00:16:47,223 --> 00:16:49,923
You've been preoccupied since dinner.

370
00:16:49,923 --> 00:16:54,160
You must think there's something strange
about the Ding family.

371
00:16:55,623 --> 00:16:57,656
I feel that

372
00:16:57,656 --> 00:17:00,323
Zhao Lan is hiding something from me.

373
00:17:00,323 --> 00:17:03,556
Every family has secrets
they'd rather keep to themselves.

374
00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:06,856
My Lord, you should just focus
on catching your "rat."

375
00:17:06,856 --> 00:17:10,557
It's fine to worry less about other matters.

376
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:15,923
Oh no. I ate too much for dinner.

377
00:17:15,923 --> 00:17:18,302
I need to go relieve myself.

378
00:17:54,356 --> 00:17:56,712
My Lord!

379
00:18:02,923 --> 00:18:05,890
- What's wrong?
- My Lord.

380
00:18:05,890 --> 00:18:07,523
This Ding family

381
00:18:07,523 --> 00:18:09,723
is indeed a bit strange.

382
00:18:09,723 --> 00:18:11,489
I stepped out of the privy,

383
00:18:11,489 --> 00:18:14,223
and ran into Ying Jie, whom we saw earlier.

384
00:18:14,223 --> 00:18:16,356
In her basket, paper money and candles.

385
00:18:16,356 --> 00:18:18,850
The sort for the dead.

386
00:18:21,456 --> 00:18:23,023
What illness does Yue Hua have?

387
00:18:23,023 --> 00:18:25,756
It's nothing serious.
Just dizziness and a fever this morning.

388
00:18:25,756 --> 00:18:26,823
She has taken medicine

389
00:18:26,823 --> 00:18:28,996
and is resting in her room now.

390
00:18:33,890 --> 00:18:35,006
My Lord.

391
00:18:35,006 --> 00:18:37,671
My Lord, wait for me! My Lord!

392
00:18:57,156 --> 00:18:58,323
My Lord,

393
00:18:58,323 --> 00:19:00,556
this place is too creepy.

394
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:03,186
Let's go back to our rooms.

395
00:19:13,890 --> 00:19:15,830
Which way did Ying Jie go?

396
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:17,747
To the backyard.

397
00:19:46,256 --> 00:19:47,723
My Lord,

398
00:19:47,723 --> 00:19:50,862
can we wait till dawn?

399
00:20:00,656 --> 00:20:02,690
An ice coffin?

400
00:20:02,690 --> 00:20:04,350
Who died?

401
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,456
I didn't see anyone
wearing mourning clothes here.

402
00:20:07,456 --> 00:20:09,823
My Lord, it's too scary here.

403
00:20:09,823 --> 00:20:11,756
Let's go back first.

404
00:20:11,756 --> 00:20:13,775
If you want to know what's strange about here,

405
00:20:13,775 --> 00:20:16,783
why not just ask Ding Zhao Lan directly?

406
00:20:24,156 --> 00:20:26,690
He's intent on hiding it from me.

407
00:20:26,690 --> 00:20:28,623
Even if I ask,

408
00:20:28,623 --> 00:20:31,097
he won't tell me the truth.

409
00:20:32,223 --> 00:20:33,923
If you're scared,

410
00:20:33,923 --> 00:20:35,013
go back up first.

411
00:20:35,013 --> 00:20:36,323
No. No.

412
00:20:36,323 --> 00:20:37,756
The Ding family is truly bizarre.

413
00:20:37,756 --> 00:20:40,660
I'd feel safer staying with you, My Lord.

414
00:20:45,890 --> 00:20:47,289
Hold the light.

415
00:20:47,289 --> 00:20:49,223
My Lord, what are you doing?

416
00:20:49,223 --> 00:20:53,066
The elders say it's bad luck
to open a coffin at night.

417
00:20:54,523 --> 00:20:57,030
Lady Ding, please don't blame us.

418
00:20:57,030 --> 00:20:59,190
We didn't mean to do this.

419
00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:01,296
You're praying to the wrong person.

420
00:21:01,296 --> 00:21:03,156
This isn't Yue Hua.

421
00:21:03,156 --> 00:21:05,556
This is Yue Hua's maid,

422
00:21:05,556 --> 00:21:07,497
Xiao Yun.

423
00:21:11,756 --> 00:21:14,489
So why did Brother Ding say

424
00:21:14,489 --> 00:21:16,884
she went back home for marriage?

425
00:21:26,090 --> 00:21:27,323
That wound...

426
00:21:27,323 --> 00:21:29,687
She did it to herself.

427
00:21:37,723 --> 00:21:39,323
How did Xiao Yun die?

428
00:21:39,323 --> 00:21:41,456
Why is she in an ice coffin?

429
00:21:41,456 --> 00:21:43,123
I went to Yue Hua's room just now.

430
00:21:43,123 --> 00:21:45,123
She wasn't in there at all.

431
00:21:45,123 --> 00:21:47,422
Her table was covered in dust,

432
00:21:47,422 --> 00:21:49,660
as if no one had lived there for a long time.

433
00:21:56,223 --> 00:21:58,489
Zhan.

434
00:21:58,489 --> 00:21:59,956
Regarding Yue Hua,

435
00:21:59,956 --> 00:22:02,156
I did lie to you.

436
00:22:02,156 --> 00:22:03,456
Please, have a seat.

437
00:22:03,456 --> 00:22:04,956
I'll explain everything to you.

438
00:22:04,956 --> 00:22:07,356
Ding Zhao Lan, how did you know

439
00:22:07,356 --> 00:22:08,923
Zhan Zhao would come,

440
00:22:08,923 --> 00:22:11,817
and have the house prepared for him in advance?

441
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:14,489
Because the person before us

442
00:22:14,489 --> 00:22:16,823
isn't Zhao Lan at all.

443
00:22:16,823 --> 00:22:20,256
It's Zhao Hui. We saw him at the pier.

444
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:21,723
He used his lightness skill

445
00:22:21,723 --> 00:22:24,859
and got back home before us.

446
00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:34,256
What are you saying?

447
00:22:34,256 --> 00:22:36,456
I am Zhao Lan.

448
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:38,323
There's a messenger at our gate.

449
00:22:38,323 --> 00:22:39,346
That's why I...

450
00:22:39,346 --> 00:22:40,456
Zhan.

451
00:22:40,456 --> 00:22:44,423
Zhan, listen to me. Zhao Hui went out.
I'll call him back now.

452
00:22:44,423 --> 00:22:45,523
Zhan.

453
00:22:45,523 --> 00:22:47,628
Zhan!

454
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:53,256
Zhan.

455
00:22:53,256 --> 00:22:55,172
Step aside.

456
00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:00,322
[Ding Zhao Lan, one of the Ding Twins]

457
00:23:00,322 --> 00:23:02,167
Oh, my.

458
00:23:19,223 --> 00:23:23,123
Every time I tried to act as my elder brother,
you always saw through me.

459
00:23:23,123 --> 00:23:25,023
I should have known
that growing up wouldn't change it.

460
00:23:25,023 --> 00:23:27,856
When did you notice?

461
00:23:27,856 --> 00:23:28,890
During dinner.

462
00:23:28,890 --> 00:23:30,923
You stopped me
from asking further about Yue Hua,

463
00:23:30,923 --> 00:23:35,023
but your way of saying
Bai Yu Tang stole the official seal.

464
00:23:35,023 --> 00:23:39,206
I only said it at the pier.

465
00:23:40,956 --> 00:23:42,156
Zhao Hui,

466
00:23:42,156 --> 00:23:44,917
what exactly happened to the Ding family?

467
00:23:48,256 --> 00:23:49,723
My brother...

468
00:23:49,723 --> 00:23:52,630
He's been in a coma
from serious injuries for a year.

469
00:23:54,123 --> 00:23:55,723
A year ago,

470
00:23:55,723 --> 00:23:58,923
Uncle Ding passed away suddenly.

471
00:23:58,923 --> 00:24:00,456
Zhao Hui,

472
00:24:00,456 --> 00:24:02,224
is there something about Uncle Ding's death

473
00:24:02,224 --> 00:24:04,302
that's been kept from us?

474
00:24:05,023 --> 00:24:07,010
Zhan,

475
00:24:07,010 --> 00:24:09,123
nothing can be hidden from you.

476
00:24:09,123 --> 00:24:11,890
The cuts in the bamboo forest
at Tingfeng Pavilion are very clean.

477
00:24:11,890 --> 00:24:13,656
It wasn't from normal trimming,

478
00:24:13,656 --> 00:24:16,223
but rather from a fight.

479
00:24:16,223 --> 00:24:19,823
The new leaf buds have been out for some days.

480
00:24:19,823 --> 00:24:22,356
The fight must have happened

481
00:24:22,356 --> 00:24:24,256
when Uncle Ding passed away.

482
00:24:24,256 --> 00:24:26,056
A year ago,

483
00:24:26,056 --> 00:24:29,489
when you came for my father's funeral,

484
00:24:29,489 --> 00:24:32,418
we lied to you.

485
00:24:33,823 --> 00:24:37,240
My father didn't die of a sudden illness.

486
00:24:37,923 --> 00:24:40,924
He was killed by the Zhanlu Sword.

487
00:24:41,623 --> 00:24:43,523
My father's body

488
00:24:43,523 --> 00:24:47,623
was brought back by the leader
of the Shangqing Sect,

489
00:24:47,623 --> 00:24:49,523
Jing Yi Ming.

490
00:24:49,523 --> 00:24:50,856
Uncle Jing.

491
00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:53,356
Who did this cruel thing to my father?

492
00:24:53,356 --> 00:24:55,256
Our Ding siblings

493
00:24:55,256 --> 00:24:56,890
will make him pay.

494
00:24:56,890 --> 00:25:00,090
[Ding Yue Hua, from the Ding family]
He was there for my birthday.

495
00:25:00,090 --> 00:25:02,289
After staying at my manor for a few days,

496
00:25:02,289 --> 00:25:05,756
[Jing Yi Ming, Head of the Shangqing Sect]
he bid me farewell and set off alone.

497
00:25:05,756 --> 00:25:07,289
No one saw

498
00:25:07,289 --> 00:25:09,323
who he fought with.

499
00:25:09,323 --> 00:25:11,223
By the time I got the news and arrived,

500
00:25:11,223 --> 00:25:14,289
I only saw his body.

501
00:25:14,289 --> 00:25:16,356
I checked his wound.

502
00:25:16,356 --> 00:25:19,289
It was clearly caused by the Zhanlu Sword.

503
00:25:19,289 --> 00:25:20,690
But that sword

504
00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:22,923
is now nowhere to be found.

505
00:25:22,923 --> 00:25:26,956
I'm afraid the villain killed him

506
00:25:26,956 --> 00:25:29,170
just to seize that precious sword.

507
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:32,023
Few in all the realm

508
00:25:32,023 --> 00:25:35,489
could break Heavenward Crane Strike,

509
00:25:35,489 --> 00:25:38,950
and snatch the Zhanlu Sword from my father.

510
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:41,289
Even if I have to scour every corner,

511
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:43,756
I will find this person.

512
00:25:43,756 --> 00:25:45,523
The Ding siblings will make him pay.

513
00:25:45,523 --> 00:25:46,623
Brother Zhao Hui.

514
00:25:46,623 --> 00:25:47,690
I'm going with you.

515
00:25:47,690 --> 00:25:49,323
Enough.

516
00:25:49,323 --> 00:25:50,756
The most important thing now

517
00:25:50,756 --> 00:25:53,999
is to arrange Father's funeral.

518
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,756
Uncle Jing,

519
00:25:59,756 --> 00:26:01,923
thank you for your effort

520
00:26:01,923 --> 00:26:03,489
in escorting my father's body

521
00:26:03,489 --> 00:26:05,023
all the way back.

522
00:26:05,023 --> 00:26:06,523
After the funeral ended,

523
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:08,690
to express our gratitude to Jing Yi Ming,

524
00:26:08,690 --> 00:26:10,890
we invited him to stay for a few more days,

525
00:26:10,890 --> 00:26:11,690
but never expected...

526
00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:12,756
Lady!

527
00:26:12,756 --> 00:26:14,456
Lady!

528
00:26:14,456 --> 00:26:15,456
Lady.

529
00:26:15,456 --> 00:26:17,749
Look who's back.

530
00:26:22,256 --> 00:26:23,923
Xiao Yun!

531
00:26:23,923 --> 00:26:27,656
Didn't you go home to get married?
How did you end up like this?

532
00:26:27,656 --> 00:26:29,728
Lady.

533
00:26:50,456 --> 00:26:51,523
Jing Yi Ming!

534
00:26:51,523 --> 00:26:53,223
Yue Hua, are you crazy?

535
00:26:53,223 --> 00:26:54,323
What are you doing?

536
00:26:54,323 --> 00:26:55,856
Xiao Yun told me

537
00:26:55,856 --> 00:26:57,123
that Jing Yi Ming raped her,

538
00:26:57,123 --> 00:26:59,150
and threw her into a brothel!

539
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:00,510
Absurd!

540
00:27:00,510 --> 00:27:02,256
This is nonsense.

541
00:27:02,256 --> 00:27:04,823
I would never do such a despicable thing.

542
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:06,023
Yue Hua,

543
00:27:06,023 --> 00:27:08,823
is it possible Xiao Yun mistook him?

544
00:27:08,823 --> 00:27:10,756
How could Uncle Jing...

545
00:27:10,756 --> 00:27:13,456
You believe him just because he's a master?

546
00:27:13,456 --> 00:27:14,756
Yue Hua,

547
00:27:14,756 --> 00:27:17,090
don't be rash.

548
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:19,756
Uncle Jing's Shangqing Sect
is far away in Xiangzhou.

549
00:27:19,756 --> 00:27:21,823
Xiao Yun had always been here

550
00:27:21,823 --> 00:27:23,656
then returned to her hometown.

551
00:27:23,656 --> 00:27:25,323
They shouldn't even know each other.

552
00:27:25,323 --> 00:27:26,723
Don't forget,

553
00:27:26,723 --> 00:27:28,423
the day before Xiao Yun left here,

554
00:27:28,423 --> 00:27:30,370
Jing Yi Ming was here too.

555
00:27:30,370 --> 00:27:33,280
The next day, when she bid father
farewell, Jing Yi Ming was also present.

556
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,023
He intercepted Xiao Yun after she left here.

557
00:27:36,023 --> 00:27:37,423
Utter nonsense!

558
00:27:37,423 --> 00:27:38,756
Where is that girl?

559
00:27:38,756 --> 00:27:39,856
Bring her here.

560
00:27:39,856 --> 00:27:41,056
Let her face me!

561
00:27:41,056 --> 00:27:45,690
Your scandalous deeds are exposed,
yet you still dare to bluster!

562
00:27:45,690 --> 00:27:47,774
Yue Hua!

563
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:55,310
You don't believe me?

564
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:56,590
Yue Hua.

565
00:27:56,590 --> 00:27:59,369
Until there is solid evidence,

566
00:27:59,369 --> 00:28:01,825
you must not act rashly.

567
00:28:07,156 --> 00:28:09,223
Lady,

568
00:28:09,223 --> 00:28:10,690
I'm afraid you'll fight him.

569
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:13,056
Let's... let's go.

570
00:28:13,056 --> 00:28:15,223
Forget it.

571
00:28:15,223 --> 00:28:16,756
Stay right here!

572
00:28:16,756 --> 00:28:19,310
Let her make things clear

573
00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:21,690
before she leaves.

574
00:28:21,690 --> 00:28:23,090
Young lady,

575
00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:24,556
you are young and inexperienced.

576
00:28:24,556 --> 00:28:27,289
Now talking nonsense. I don't blame you.

577
00:28:27,289 --> 00:28:29,456
But the Shangqing Sect
has a century-old reputation.

578
00:28:29,456 --> 00:28:32,489
No one dares to slander it.

579
00:28:32,489 --> 00:28:34,890
My decades of friendship with the Ding family

580
00:28:34,890 --> 00:28:36,910
cannot be ruined too.

581
00:28:36,910 --> 00:28:38,956
Today, before the Ding descendants,

582
00:28:38,956 --> 00:28:40,123
say it once more.

583
00:28:40,123 --> 00:28:41,556
Did I, or did I not,

584
00:28:41,556 --> 00:28:43,623
commit those indecent acts against you?

585
00:28:43,623 --> 00:28:45,923
If not, clear my name.

586
00:28:45,923 --> 00:28:47,023
If I did,

587
00:28:47,023 --> 00:28:49,090
they would never forgive me.

588
00:28:49,090 --> 00:28:52,336
They would surely risk their lives
to seek justice for you.

589
00:28:52,336 --> 00:28:54,623
Tell us.

590
00:28:54,623 --> 00:28:57,289
Did I,

591
00:28:57,289 --> 00:28:59,632
or did I not?

592
00:29:02,523 --> 00:29:04,362
No.

593
00:29:04,362 --> 00:29:07,087
I mistook him for someone else.

594
00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:17,473
Xiao Yun!

595
00:29:21,123 --> 00:29:22,356
Everyone said

596
00:29:22,356 --> 00:29:25,023
Xiao Yun was ashamed to face anyone,
and killed herself

597
00:29:25,023 --> 00:29:26,723
because her virtue was shattered.

598
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:27,890
But Yue Hua said

599
00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:30,823
Xiao Yun had promised her the night
before that she wouldn't kill herself.

600
00:29:30,823 --> 00:29:33,323
She was certain
Xiao Yun was killed by Jing Yi Ming.

601
00:29:33,323 --> 00:29:35,690
That same day, Jing Yi Ming
went to bid my brother farewell.

602
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:39,156
He said he didn't want to cause
any more trouble between us.

603
00:29:39,156 --> 00:29:40,290
When Yue Hua heard about it,

604
00:29:40,290 --> 00:29:42,623
she took her sword
and rushed to Tingfeng Pavilion.

605
00:29:42,623 --> 00:29:44,338
Zhao Lan!

606
00:29:45,756 --> 00:29:47,760
Zhao Lan!

607
00:29:53,856 --> 00:29:55,796
It wasn't me.

608
00:29:57,056 --> 00:29:58,223
It wasn't me.

609
00:29:58,223 --> 00:29:59,856
He was fighting with Zhao Lan.

610
00:29:59,856 --> 00:30:01,956
He pushed Zhao Lan onto my sword.
It wasn't me!

611
00:30:01,956 --> 00:30:04,523
How could a family like Ding
ever produce a daughter like you?

612
00:30:04,523 --> 00:30:07,289
You came here with a sword.
Zhao Lan was afraid you would hurt me.

613
00:30:07,289 --> 00:30:08,690
That's why he stepped in.

614
00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:09,923
No matter how angry you are,

615
00:30:09,923 --> 00:30:11,350
you shouldn't have done this to him.

616
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:13,348
- You...
- Yue Hua!

617
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:17,459
Stop it!

618
00:30:28,023 --> 00:30:29,723
Yue Hua left after that,

619
00:30:29,723 --> 00:30:31,853
and she never came back.

620
00:30:33,423 --> 00:30:36,690
Actually, my brother's sword wound
wasn't that serious that day.

621
00:30:36,690 --> 00:30:38,123
His physical wounds

622
00:30:38,123 --> 00:30:39,690
have been healing day by day.

623
00:30:39,690 --> 00:30:43,046
But for some reason, he remains unconscious.

624
00:30:44,090 --> 00:30:46,623
To this day, I still don't understand

625
00:30:46,623 --> 00:30:49,723
what really happened that day.

626
00:30:49,723 --> 00:30:51,756
I asked the butler later.

627
00:30:51,756 --> 00:30:54,323
Before Jing Yi Ming bid my brother farewell,

628
00:30:54,323 --> 00:30:56,756
my brother had just checked Xiao Yun's body.

629
00:30:56,756 --> 00:30:58,323
My guess is that

630
00:30:58,323 --> 00:31:00,256
my brother found something suspicious,

631
00:31:00,256 --> 00:31:03,356
so he took a look at Xiao Yun's body.

632
00:31:03,356 --> 00:31:05,860
But I don't think he ever found anything.

633
00:31:06,956 --> 00:31:08,523
If someone slits their own wrist,

634
00:31:08,523 --> 00:31:11,256
the force came from outside in,

635
00:31:11,256 --> 00:31:14,239
and the cut runs deep above, shallow below.

636
00:31:15,223 --> 00:31:16,723
But Xiao Yun's wound

637
00:31:16,723 --> 00:31:17,770
was exactly the opposite.

638
00:31:17,770 --> 00:31:18,910
So,

639
00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:21,956
Xiao Yun was murdered.

640
00:31:21,956 --> 00:31:23,123
Besides,

641
00:31:23,123 --> 00:31:25,123
even if Yue Hua didn't mean it,

642
00:31:25,123 --> 00:31:27,489
she couldn't have damaged Zhao Lan's meridians.

643
00:31:27,489 --> 00:31:31,190
Only severed meridians
would leave him unconscious.

644
00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:35,556
Yue Hua's skill is nowhere near that level.

645
00:31:35,556 --> 00:31:38,090
Unless
Zhao Lan's Heavenward Crane Strike was broken.

646
00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:41,153
The power he gathered never left him
when preparing Heavenward Crane Strike.

647
00:31:41,153 --> 00:31:42,756
Instead, it tore through his body

648
00:31:42,756 --> 00:31:44,430
crashing into his own meridians.

649
00:31:44,430 --> 00:31:45,863
As you said,

650
00:31:45,863 --> 00:31:47,891
before Jing went to bid Zhao Lan farewell,

651
00:31:47,891 --> 00:31:50,956
Zhao Lan had just checked Xiao Yun's body.

652
00:31:50,956 --> 00:31:52,756
Zhao Lan is very thorough.

653
00:31:52,756 --> 00:31:54,489
He must have discovered

654
00:31:54,489 --> 00:31:56,710
that Xiao Yun didn't commit suicide.

655
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:59,690
Stay back! Stay back!

656
00:31:59,690 --> 00:32:01,823
- Stay back!
- No need to fear.

657
00:32:01,823 --> 00:32:05,023
I'm here to set you free.

658
00:32:05,023 --> 00:32:06,456
If you tell the truth,

659
00:32:06,456 --> 00:32:08,423
not only will you shatter your virtue,

660
00:32:08,423 --> 00:32:10,256
but you'll also drag the Ding family down.

661
00:32:10,256 --> 00:32:11,656
Why bother?

662
00:32:11,656 --> 00:32:13,656
You might as well

663
00:32:13,656 --> 00:32:16,144
leave yourself some dignity.

664
00:33:01,890 --> 00:33:03,862
Zhao Hui.

665
00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:06,884
You've already done very well.

666
00:33:07,956 --> 00:33:09,456
What have I done?

667
00:33:09,456 --> 00:33:13,123
I even helped Jing Yi Ming.

668
00:33:13,123 --> 00:33:16,240
I let him destroy the Ding family

669
00:33:17,044 --> 00:33:19,484
right in front of me.

670
00:33:20,590 --> 00:33:23,090
No one knows the Ding's eldest son is in a coma

671
00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:25,203
from a serious injury.

672
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:26,403
That's because of you.

673
00:33:26,403 --> 00:33:28,770
You pretend to be Zhao Lan in public,

674
00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:30,436
which is how you fooled everyone.

675
00:33:30,436 --> 00:33:34,603
Everyone covets
our Heavenward Crane Strike and Zhanlu Sword.

676
00:33:34,603 --> 00:33:36,836
The chief of the Ding family has passed.

677
00:33:36,836 --> 00:33:39,503
If word got out that the eldest son
was also in a coma,

678
00:33:39,503 --> 00:33:42,636
the Ding family's situation

679
00:33:42,636 --> 00:33:45,344
would be worse than we imagined.

680
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:52,830
Before today,

681
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:54,656
I thought you

682
00:33:54,656 --> 00:33:58,203
were still that reckless and impulsive boy.

683
00:33:58,203 --> 00:33:59,850
I didn't expect that overnight,

684
00:33:59,850 --> 00:34:02,970
you would shoulder the family burden.

685
00:34:11,903 --> 00:34:14,136
No matter what I do now,

686
00:34:14,136 --> 00:34:16,836
I can't make it up to Yue Hua and Xiao Yun.

687
00:34:16,836 --> 00:34:19,490
Since Yue Hua ran away from home,

688
00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:22,290
she hasn't returned once.

689
00:34:23,336 --> 00:34:25,603
She must hate me to death.

690
00:34:25,603 --> 00:34:28,150
I really want to explain to her.

691
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:30,570
When I blocked her sword that day,

692
00:34:30,570 --> 00:34:34,541
it wasn't because I believed Jing Yi Ming.

693
00:34:35,236 --> 00:34:37,369
She is no match for Jing Yi Ming.

694
00:34:37,369 --> 00:34:39,603
You were afraid she would get hurt.

695
00:34:39,603 --> 00:34:42,436
Don't worry. Once Yue Hua calms down,

696
00:34:42,436 --> 00:34:44,598
she will understand.

697
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:50,736
Xiao Yun's death was suspicious.

698
00:34:50,736 --> 00:34:52,023
My brother is in a coma,

699
00:34:52,023 --> 00:34:53,670
and Yue Hua is missing.

700
00:34:53,670 --> 00:34:56,130
No one could confront Jing Yi Ming
about what he had done.

701
00:34:56,130 --> 00:34:58,730
I had to store Xiao Yun's body
in an ice coffin.

702
00:34:58,730 --> 00:35:02,163
I wanted to wait until we found Yue Hua
and we could investigate everything.

703
00:35:02,163 --> 00:35:04,396
I wanted to see if we could find

704
00:35:04,396 --> 00:35:05,963
any clues from Xiao Yun's body,

705
00:35:05,963 --> 00:35:09,329
so we could expose it and get her justice.

706
00:35:09,329 --> 00:35:11,329
Today is the anniversary of her death.

707
00:35:11,329 --> 00:35:14,993
I asked her close friend, Ying Jie,
to pay her respects.

708
00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:19,263
I didn't expect you to notice, Zhan.

709
00:35:19,263 --> 00:35:20,363
Zhan,

710
00:35:20,363 --> 00:35:23,296
you've only been here half a day
and you've already seen the truth.

711
00:35:23,296 --> 00:35:25,295
Clearly,

712
00:35:26,263 --> 00:35:28,602
I was too clumsy.

713
00:35:35,070 --> 00:35:37,130
I could see it

714
00:35:37,130 --> 00:35:41,196
because Jing Yi Ming, that grandmaster,
made me suspicious.

715
00:35:41,196 --> 00:35:42,596
In Xiangzhou,

716
00:35:42,596 --> 00:35:45,596
I was ambushed by Zhi Hua the Black Fox.

717
00:35:45,596 --> 00:35:47,596
The moves he used

718
00:35:47,596 --> 00:35:50,263
were the Great Compassion Palm
from the Shangqing Sect.

719
00:35:50,263 --> 00:35:53,130
The Great Compassion Palm is only
passed on to Shangqing Sect disciples.

720
00:35:53,130 --> 00:35:56,679
How did Zhi Hua learn this secret technique?

721
00:35:57,863 --> 00:35:59,530
Is there more

722
00:35:59,530 --> 00:36:02,763
between Zhi Hua and the Shangqing Sect

723
00:36:02,763 --> 00:36:05,940
than we've been told?

724
00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:10,130
About this affair.

725
00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:12,950
About your father's death.

726
00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:15,979
I won't rest until I've uncovered everything.

727
00:36:18,130 --> 00:36:20,268
From the look of it now,

728
00:36:20,896 --> 00:36:23,963
Jing Yi Ming must be the one
who killed my father.

729
00:36:23,963 --> 00:36:27,530
If Jing Yi Ming really can break
Heavenward Crane Strike,

730
00:36:27,530 --> 00:36:29,130
then the murderer

731
00:36:29,130 --> 00:36:30,663
is very likely to be him.

732
00:36:30,663 --> 00:36:34,396
What a so-called grandmaster.

733
00:36:34,396 --> 00:36:36,396
I'm going to storm the Shangqing Sect

734
00:36:36,396 --> 00:36:38,731
and end him with my sword!

735
00:36:45,996 --> 00:36:48,363
Zhan,

736
00:36:48,363 --> 00:36:50,263
I know what you want to say.

737
00:36:50,263 --> 00:36:51,863
Don't worry.

738
00:36:51,863 --> 00:36:54,763
I won't rush into anything.

739
00:36:54,763 --> 00:36:56,596
With my current skills,

740
00:36:56,596 --> 00:37:00,640
seeking revenge on Jing Yi Ming
would be like throwing an egg against a stone.

741
00:37:02,929 --> 00:37:04,730
But one day,

742
00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:06,929
the Ding family will make him

743
00:37:06,929 --> 00:37:10,174
pay for it in blood.

744
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:20,496
Zhao Hui,

745
00:37:20,496 --> 00:37:22,963
there is something I'm curious about.

746
00:37:22,963 --> 00:37:25,063
Chief Lu and the other three

747
00:37:25,063 --> 00:37:26,963
are of similar age and share the same ideals,

748
00:37:26,963 --> 00:37:28,363
which is why they became sworn brothers.

749
00:37:28,363 --> 00:37:29,796
But why did Bai Yu Tang,

750
00:37:29,796 --> 00:37:31,563
at such a young age, join them?

751
00:37:31,563 --> 00:37:35,563
I heard it's because Bai Yu Tang
helped Chief Lu avenge his father's death.

752
00:37:35,563 --> 00:37:37,730
Chief Lu's father

753
00:37:37,730 --> 00:37:40,463
was generous and charitable.
But his wealth became known,

754
00:37:40,463 --> 00:37:42,696
and a band of outlaws robbed and killed him.

755
00:37:42,696 --> 00:37:44,596
The authorities failed to find them for days,

756
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:46,150
but Bai Yu Tang used a clever scheme

757
00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:47,963
to lure them into a trap.

758
00:37:47,963 --> 00:37:50,963
Only then was Chief Lu
able to hand the bandits over to the law.

759
00:37:50,963 --> 00:37:54,040
Thus, the two became sworn brothers.

760
00:37:56,263 --> 00:37:58,563
From childhood, Bai Yu Tang was skilled,

761
00:37:58,563 --> 00:37:59,929
chivalrous, and righteous.

762
00:37:59,929 --> 00:38:01,969
Truly remarkable.

763
00:38:04,796 --> 00:38:06,630
We're almost there.

764
00:38:31,096 --> 00:38:33,763
Ming Zhu Er, stay here.

765
00:38:33,763 --> 00:38:34,929
Lord Zhan.

766
00:38:34,929 --> 00:38:36,329
Leave Ming Zhu Er with me.

767
00:38:36,329 --> 00:38:37,396
Don't worry.

768
00:38:37,396 --> 00:38:40,196
My Lord, old Ding and I won't go anywhere.

769
00:38:40,196 --> 00:38:41,263
Don't worry.

770
00:38:41,263 --> 00:38:44,020
You two must also be careful.

771
00:39:01,663 --> 00:39:02,696
Madam!

772
00:39:02,696 --> 00:39:04,063
Zhen Er!

773
00:39:04,063 --> 00:39:05,329
- Did you find them?
- No.

774
00:39:05,329 --> 00:39:06,630
Where did everyone go?

775
00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:09,350
Madam must have seen Number Five​ going crazy
and taken everyone into hiding.

776
00:39:09,350 --> 00:39:11,463
[Lu Fang, Zuantian Rat][Han Zhang, Chedi Rat]
Let's keep looking.

777
00:39:11,463 --> 00:39:14,063
- Brother Lu, Brother Han!
- Zhao Hui, why did you come here?

778
00:39:14,063 --> 00:39:16,563
Go now! Don't throw your life away!

779
00:39:16,563 --> 00:39:19,863
Chief Lu, I'm Zhan Zhao of Kaifeng Prefecture.
What has happened on the island?

780
00:39:19,863 --> 00:39:21,163
Zhan Zhao?

781
00:39:21,163 --> 00:39:22,563
Even you came?

782
00:39:22,563 --> 00:39:23,613
Lord Bao's official seal

783
00:39:23,613 --> 00:39:25,070
was stolen by Bai Yu Tang.

784
00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:28,896
I'm here to persuade him to return it.

785
00:39:28,896 --> 00:39:30,563
Number Five must have lost his mind.

786
00:39:30,563 --> 00:39:32,170
He ignored the Chief's advice.

787
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:34,510
Went to the capital
just to fight the Imperial Cat.

788
00:39:34,510 --> 00:39:39,496
Now brought the authorities here,
and caused such trouble on Xiankong Island.

789
00:39:39,496 --> 00:39:42,096
Bai Yu Tang really killed those people outside?

790
00:39:42,096 --> 00:39:44,563
- I...
- Bai Yu Tang won't kill the innocent.

791
00:39:44,563 --> 00:39:47,196
Could there be some misunderstanding?

792
00:39:47,196 --> 00:39:49,296
Zhan Zhao,

793
00:39:49,296 --> 00:39:51,680
you are finally here.

794
00:40:22,363 --> 00:40:24,730
Brothers, Zhan Zhao wants to kill me!

795
00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:28,396
You can't watch me die right in front of you.

796
00:40:35,096 --> 00:40:36,296
Brothers,

797
00:40:36,296 --> 00:40:38,563
you just said Bai Yu Tang was absurd.

798
00:40:38,563 --> 00:40:40,618
Why are you listening to him now?

799
00:40:41,196 --> 00:40:43,329
If anyone got mad, it was those two.

800
00:40:43,329 --> 00:40:45,130
Not Bai Yu Tang.

801
00:40:45,130 --> 00:40:47,596
They seem to have been poisoned.

802
00:41:58,463 --> 00:42:00,410
Don't move.

803
00:42:08,763 --> 00:42:11,096
You've stepped on a fire mine.

804
00:42:11,096 --> 00:42:13,296
Han Zhang has a military background.

805
00:42:13,296 --> 00:42:14,329
While in the army,

806
00:42:14,329 --> 00:42:16,720
he became an expert in gunpowder.

807
00:42:17,796 --> 00:42:18,870
What are you waiting for?

808
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:21,106
Kill them!

809
00:42:33,661 --> 00:42:35,130
You! Help him.

810
00:42:35,130 --> 00:42:37,810
Make sure to kill them both.

811
00:42:47,170 --> 00:42:49,173
[Jiang Ping, Fanjiang Rat]
[Xu Qing, Chuanshan Rat]

812
00:42:50,796 --> 00:42:52,626
Big Brother!
