(A Duel and Contention. Part 1)

Madam.

Wen Rou insists on coming back with me

to help you pack.

Madam,

I feel sad that you're leaving.

Madam,

what's wrong?

Madam.

Where's Mr. Wo?

He won't be able to let it go

if he doesn't kill Guan Qi.

I let him go.

Little Rock!

Watch Madam!

Madam,

it'll be all right.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Don't cry.

Mr. Wo.

When someone holds a sword to go on a killing spree,

someone will bathe in blood for stepping in.

Take good care of Cha Hua.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo.

Mr. Wo!

Little Rock.

Madam.

I'm sorry.

I failed to protect Mr. Wo.

You're back?

As long as you're back.

As long as you're home.

Place him in the main hall

with his head to the door.

Put a light at his feet.

Little Rock,

go to the roof

and remove the tiles.

So he can see the sky

with his body not touching the ground.

One sickly man

and one useless old man.

Let's see how long you two can last.

Chief Elder Lei's martial arts skills are equal to mine.

As long as there's tea,

he should be able to live for a long time.

I have food and water.

I'll compete with you to the end.

Sir!

Sir.

Why are you panicking?

Guan Qi has caused Second Madam...

Did he kill her?

She lost her mind.

But many other died.

Let them die.

It has nothing to do with me.

There was a dead old man too.

Wang Xiaoshi carried him away.

Sir.

Guan Qi is going on a killing spree

and causing an uproar in the Capital.

Yes, he can't find you

if you hide here.

But if this goes on,

it'll alert the imperial court.

I'm afraid no one can afford to take the responsibility.

Sir,

Guan Qi is behaving recklessly

without restraints.

If we let him continue with the killings,

the Six Half Hall and the House of Sunset Drizzle

won't be able to save all the citizens,

no matter how powerful we are.

This matter is serious.

We mustn't waste our time anymore.

You'll have to guarantee my safety.

We will make sure you're safe.

It's your favorite braised meat.

I braised it while waiting for your return last night.

So you could eat before you leave.

Fu Zongshu has agreed to be the bait

to lure Guan Qi out.

Where do you plan to surround him?

House of Sanhe.

What House Master meant

was Guan Qi is highly skilled.

It's useless sending many average martial artists.

So the House of Sanhe will evacuate most people.

I'll play the qin with five customers.

The three of us,

Di Feijing, and Lei Sun

can definitely subdue Guan Qi.

Are we going to subdue him only?

He killed so many people.

If we kill him,

we might kill a bad person or a good person.

I don't see why not.

But Guan Qi knows the secret of Youqiao Group.

We must keep him alive in our hands.

If we think so,

Lei Sun would think the same too.

After we subdue Guan Qi,

the next fight will start right away.

If we want things to go smoothly tonight,

everyone must work together with one heart.

(Romance and Pleasure, House of Sanhe)

Xiaoyao,

Mr. Su, Chief Elder Lei, and the rest are here.

Have you completed the task I assigned to you?

Please rest assured.

It's all arranged.

(Jifang Garden)

You're skilled in playing qin

and excellent at shooting.

Miss Xiaoyao is indeed unparalleled.

Zhu Xiaoyao's identity is a secret to our House.

Unexpectedly, your informers are everywhere.

A spy is highly valued before exposing himself.

Once he makes a move,

he's no longer a spy.

The greatest value of an informer is staying alive.

Once he's dead,

it's useless even if he knows many secrets.

(Jifang Garden)

I can forget

about you punching me before.

But you must not tell anyone about it.

Why are you glaring at me?

I'm not Guan Qi.

I suggest you be cautious.

We can't afford any mistakes now.

You made a huge fuss about this.

Anyone with good sense knows this is a trap.

Guan Qi is not a fool.

Are you certain he'll come?

He wasn't afraid of breaking into your residence.

He'll come anyway

as long as he can kill you

despite knowing it's a trap.

Now

you should open a window.

Your noodles are here.

I heard Minister Fu's concubines

either died or lost their minds.

But look at him.

He went to the House of Sanhe the moment he had time.

I can't believe he dares to come out.

I thought someone wanted to kill him.

But he's the imperial court's minister.

No one would dare to kill him.

I do.

I'm the one who wants to kill Minister Fu.

(House of Sanhe)

Is he coming or not?

We're waiting for a killer.

It'll be fortunate if he doesn't come.

I'll leave things to you now!

Get ready now.

Sir.

Sir, we're over here.

Over here, Sir.

Be careful.

Watch your step, Sir.

Sir, let me help you.

Hurry.

Quickly now.

Get in.

Close the door. Let's go.

(Splendid Beauty, Jifang Garden)

Red Sleeve Blade?

You're Su Mengzhen?

If I'm not Su Mengzhen,

how can I hold you down in one move?

You should've finished your move

in one go just now.

I never resort to sneaky attacks.

How rare.

In this world, anyone who fights you face to face

is considered a man of noble character.

Most people prefer attacking behind the back.

Some don't even need to do it themselves.

Am I right,

brother-in-law?

It would be even better to subdue you

without any fighting.

You've already killed me once.

But I let you live once too.

If you're willing to go back into the well,

I can let you live again.

He won't.

He'll kill you for sure.

After spending eight years in the well,

there are many talented people in the martial arts world.

Brother-in-law,

you're old now.

I'm afraid you have no say now.

It doesn't matter if I don't have a say.

Your fate has been decided today.

Wang Xiaoshi, did you hear that?

I'll kill anyone

I can.

I'm not the only one

who follows this principle.

I don't talk nonsense

in a fight.

Zhu Xiaoyao is one of yours, right?

What's the meaning of this?

What's your intention?

You saved Guan Qi again and again.

Are you waiting for him to turn around

and kill every one of us?

Listen.

There are no heroes who die a tragic death

or unfortunate good men in this world.

Dispatch the men!

Search Guan Qi and Zhu Xiaoyao all over the Capital.

Did you instruct

Zhu Xiaoyao to take Guan Qi away?

(Splendid Beauty)

(The House of Sunset Drizzle)

(Apothecary)

Zhu Xiaoyao went missing with Guan Qi?

Our hard work

was for nothing.

They say a person lives

for 30,000 days.

There are some nights you don't wish to go through.

Zhu Xiaoyao has worked for you for many years.

Haven't you found out her identity?

I know she was a member of the Mitian Sect.

But I had no idea

she's still loyal to Guan Qi after all these years.

When someone works for you for so long,

it doesn't matter

what kind of past she had.

If she had bad intentions all these years,

Red Sleeve Blade wouldn't exist in the martial arts world.

At first,

I thought she could stop

Lei Sun from killing Guan Qi.

Yet, Guan Qi escaped because of this.

It was my fault.

Try this one.

They're freshly picked.

Not bad.

Xiaoyao.

Did you buy the medicinal herbs?

Yes.

I bought cogon grass and cypress leaves separately.

I also bought medicinal powder to stop bleeding.

Is he still unconscious?

I'm not worried about his external injuries.

But Guan Qi would have died

from Di Feijing's palm strike

if he wasn't highly skilled in martial arts.

Xiaoyao, you must be tired from watching him all night.

Why don't you get some rest?

I'll take care of him.

All right.

If you were not mad

or a killer,

would my life

be different?

Shuang,

you've been with me about seven to eight years, right?

That wasn't long.

I planned to stay with you all my life.

When a boy grows up,

he can't grow up among women.

The martial arts world is vast.

The House of Sanhe isn't a place

for you to settle down.

Now that your father has returned.

I want to send both of you far away.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have lived until today.

If I leave at this moment,

I'll never hold my head high.

I didn't have a home in the first place.

If it weren't for that man in the room,

I wouldn't have lived until today too.

You filthy little thing,

I've experienced this too.

When the customers see you cry,

they'll feel sorry for you.

My dear,

come to me.

Leave if you want to live.

(For a long time,)

(I feel like a nobody.)

(That day)

(was the only time)

(someone gave me the hope.)

(So even if violent killings and dangerous situations)

(followed wherever he went,)

(I was willing to stay by his side.)

Why did you stop?

My feet are cold and painful.

You must never betray me if you stay with me.

Understand?

I'll never betray you.

I saved him

and raised you

because of this past.

But I'm not only indebted to your father.

I'm also indebted to Mr. Su.

I kept thinking

if I had to repay them one day,

I could only give them my life.

That's why I always say

that life is short and bitter.

It's more important to find leisure in life.

None of the men we dispatched last night

found Zhu Xiaoyao's trail.

As far as I know about Zhu Xiaoyao,

she may be hiding

in these several locations.

Zhu Xiaoyao is a spy and meticulous.

Would she hide in the places

you could think of?

She doesn't know

what I know.

I have all the information

about the House's spies.

I'll hand over Lawless to you.

(Lawless)

We must take his life while he's injured.

If we wait until Guan Qi has recovered,

no one can subdue him anymore.

So we must find him as soon as possible.

But the Capital is huge.

I'm afraid it'll take forever.

But we still need to find them.

We'll try to alert them.

We'll search these places

and let her know on purpose.

If we do this,

she'll rush to send Guan Qi out of the Capital.

It's inconvenient for Guan Qi to move around with his injuries.

They might leave the Capital in a carriage.

(Maxing Street) The gate is what we must guard.

(Maxing Street)

(Yiji Inn)

(Clouds of Visitors)

Is Madam all right?

She's in her room.

I lit a calming incense for her.

I hope she can sleep well.

Yellow, you want to avenge Mr. Wo's death too, right?

I'm useless.

I don't even know where the person who killed Mr. Wo is.

I have an idea.

What is it?

Yellow, let's go.

(House of Sanhe)

Yellow, hurry!

Yellow.

Yellow?

Come here.

Can we really find Guan Qi

with this method?

Bai is leading the men to search for them.

I suddenly thought of this method.

So I wanted to give it a try.

If we can find Guan Qi,

I'll end this matter myself.

Yellow, let's go.

I know I can't stop you from going.

But I'm really scared.

All of you can't even defeat Guan Qi.

If you meet him alone...

I was the one who released Guan Qi.

He killed Mr. Wo

and so many people.

If I don't seek revenge,

it'll be hard for me

to live after this.

I understand.

But you must promise me

that you'll come back.

I promise.

I'll come back.

(I will.)
