[Word of Honor]

[Episode 23]

Uncle Shen, let me walk you out.

Well,

how about your injury?

I'm fine.

The things I owed the Wen's

are more than this fist

Then,

where are you going?

I need to find your Sister Xiao Lian first.

I'm worried about her so much

for her long disappearance.

Don't worry.

My master said that

Uncle Gao destroyed the Glazed Armor

for protecting you.

The people who kidnapped Sister Xiao Lian

wouldn't hurt her.

I hope so.

She's the only child of my big brother.

If I can't protect her…

Cheng Ling,

I'm glad for you that

you can be a disciple of the Four Season Manor.

My brother and I have owned

the Wen's a lot.

You must be obedient

and devoted to your masters.

In that case, you can make good on behalf of us.

I know, Uncle Shen.

If I find Xiao Lian,

I'll arrange for her to join the Mount Dagu Sect.

It's only

that if I die one day,

please take care of Xiao Lian

whether you get married with

her or not.

If it's possible,

please ask the Four Season Manor to protect her.

She has no one to rely on.

Okay?

Of course, I'll take good care of her

even without your words.

Good boy,

I'm leaving.

Take care.

[Li Mansion]

Still in a coma?

Ah Xiang,

did Lao Wen puke blood and fall into a coma

like this before?

No,

but when I was a child

Master always stayed in bed because of the illness,

but it doesn't happen anymore when I grow up.

When did you begin to serve him?

I've started to serve Master

since I can remember.

Then,

when did he get there?

Where?

Nothing.

Go to have a rest, little girl.

I'll look after him.

No, I want to be with Master.

So you're leaving Young Master Cao alone?

He doesn't eat or drink but stays here for you.

What do I care him for?

Master is more important.

Good girl, just have a rest.

I'm here.

Alright.

If Master wakes up,

tell me immediately.

It's my mistake.

Please give me more advice, Chief.

That's right.

You need to know that here is the Ghost Valley.

It's not just a valley,

but one full of venomous worms.

Only the most vicious and powerful king

who can defeat them all can survive.

In this very charnel place,

the end is only in the death of one or another.

All humans are afraid of hurt while you're not.

Dnd you enjoy it.

Then you'll live and they will die.

Ah Xing, you have been in the Valley since you were a child.

It's very difficult for you

to survive and become such a talent.

I'm willing to train you because I think highly of you.

I'm grateful for this and will never forget your kindness.

Well,

it's all up to your own luck

that whether you can be the next king,

the head of all evil.

You're awake, Lao Wen.

Ah Xu,

You've been in a coma for a day and night.

Try to use your internal breath.

I don't dare to prescribe medicine for you randomly

as your pulse is normal.

It's no big deal.

My internal breath might have gone sideways.

Where is Shen Shen?

I have chased him away.

Why?

Although he is

muddled and selfish,

he still doesn't deserve to die

for he was clouded by others.

He and his brothers have been tortured

by their conscience all these years.

Conscience,

Zhou Zi Shu, do you think everyone has a conscience?

Since Shen Shen had the nerve to ask me where my parents were,

I should have sent him to heaven to meet them.

Lao Wen, the guilty one is Zhao Jing

who poisoned your parents.

The rest of them had their reasons.

Now you tell me that no one can avoid suffering.

Didn't my parents have theirs?

The bad can be forgiven for those so-called reasons

while the good deserve to die?

If you want to be a bodhisattva, then you be it.

I'd rather be the king of evil and fall into hell after death

than be bullied this way.

Lao Wen,

I'm sorry.

It's your personal matter.

I shouldn't have made any decision for you.

Sorry,

I don't want to see blood on your hands.

Alright,

if I kill Shen Shen in person,

it may give him a chance to atone for his sin with his life.

That's too easy on him.

Just let him alive

and watch these bandits of the Five Lake Alliance.

When you're fully recovered,

I'll go with you to seek revenge on Zhao Jing.

I'm fine,

just a little thirsty.

Come on and serve me.

Do you need liqueur instead?

If we really go, we need to wait until you're cured.

The people in the Five Lake Alliance are all talking about virtue and morality,

but in fact, they're just a bunch of traitors.

However, the current chief of the alliance

is a ruthless ruffian.

It's not the final nemesis yet.

I'll watch the dogfight

between these awful people.

That is more delighted than killing them by myself.

Master,

Master, you scared the hell out of me.

You're so noisy.

Master, how are you?

Are you still feeling dizzy? Are you hungry?

Shall I cook for you?

I just feel that you're so noisy now.

You guys talk first.

I'll check whether Cheng Ling has finished cooking.

Master, you…

It's because of the Water of Lethe.

You don't fail me.

I don't fail you.

Jing.

Master.

Jing.

Master.

Jing.

[There're so many people called Zhao Jing in this world]

[Maybe this woman doesn't mean him.]

[Maybe it's just a coincidence]

I don't fail you.

[But if it's a misunderstanding,]

[why did Father rush to send Lovelace to]

[kill them all?]

Jing.

Jing.

You don't fail me. I don't fail you.

Jing.

What're you going to do?

Then what can you do?

I just want to examine her pulse.

Move away.

Do you want me to kill you, too?

Is it because of Water of Lethe

that she turns this?

No.

Water of Lethe can only let the people forget

the things they are obsessed most.

But it does no harm to the mind.

My Master had illness before.

It's possible that someone has

provoked my Master's Soul-Dissociation,

so she becomes like this.

Forget the most obsessed things.

So the thing she wants to forget is

the person who failed her.

How to cure this?

Please forgive my offense, Scorpion King.

I didn't drink Water of Lethe,

and take the initiative in getting in the Valley.

It was Master who saved me

and took me to Mount Qingya

when I was driven into a corner

and wanted to kill myself.

So I'm begging your mercy and an exception.

You're the one who should drink Water of Lethe.

What is the exception for?

Because I think that I won't make the same mistake

if I remember everything.

Since you remember it as your wish,

why do you go back to Yu Qiu Feng?

Have you seen the always losing gamblers?

The more they're losing the more they want to gamble.

Handing your heart to another person

is the biggest bet.

I backed the wrong thing.

I thought I could lose

my life to him outright.

However, with the help of Master,

I have lived some more years in a half-ghostly way

Actually, in the moment when Lovelace came to kill him,

I was thinking to take it for him.

It was a game over when I lost everything.

But who could expect that

the God let me win that time?

Idiot,

how could the Ghost Valley raise a person like you?

Manager of the Unfaithful.

Why do you call it like this?

Because my Master said,

men are unfaithful and women are ill-fated since the old time.

She would redress the scales for

all the women who were failed

and kill every unfaithful man.

Being unfaithful is the nature of human.

It's the same for both men and women.

Ridiculous.

Who doesn't fail anyone

and isn't failed by others?

Your fate is too bad,

and I don't want it anymore.

Now,

I give you an opportunity to choose.

If you're willing to pledge loyalty to me,

I'll satisfy your wish whatever it is,

even to kill Yu Qiu Feng.

I don't care what method you use.

Find the recipe of Water of Lethe

and hand it to me.

I'll let you free.

Master, you were seven or eight years old when you joined the Valley.

Why did you need to drink Water of Lethe?

There were some onenwho didn't want me to recall something.

It's pity that I let them down.

But how could you remember it if you drank Water of Lethe?

It's a blood feud and I can never forget it.

Don't mention it was only a bowl of Water of Lethe.

Even if I had been broken into pieces and burnt to ashes,

climbing back from the hell step by step,

I would have taken revenge on them.

When I was little,

I often had strong headaches, vomited blood and fell into comas.

That's the price of using mind to force against Water of Lethe.

This illness hasn't broken out for a long time.

Recently, the old things are mentioned frequently,

which might be affective.

One day,

I may be tortured to madness by this headache.

But before that day,

the enemies of mine have to die

In front of me.

Don't be afraid.

Before the arrival of that day,

I'll make a proper arrangement for you.

What am I afraid of? I'm just angry.

Master, I was brought up by you.

Why don't you tell me early

since you have these things in your mind?

I'll try my best to help you.

I don't need your help.

Let me ask you, Ah Xiang,

do you really love Cao Wei Ning?

Master, what're you talking about?

I'm talking it seriously. Don't interrupt.

Answer me. If you say no,

I'll kill him.

Ma… Ma…

Then it's a yes.

If you love him,

return the Gentle Wind Sword Sect with him tomorrow.

Mo Huai Yang is skilled in martial arts,

and he is a crafty old scoundrel.

He wouldn't let his sect involve in fighting.

You'll be safe staying there.

Master, are you leaving me?

Silly girl, the way I chose is a way to the hell.

It's was a mistake that

you were a lost soul who entered the demon area.

Now you have the chance to get back to the mortal world.

Why do you still go after me?

Cao Wei Ning,

although I don't like him in many ways,

Fortunately, he is easy to control.

Just go back to the mortal world with him.

Live a normal life.

I don't think he can make any big wave.

Master,

there's one thing I haven't told you yet.

The reason why I'm with Cao Wei Ning is

that he said

it was probably that Gao Chong handed

the Glazed Armor to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

I'm with Cao Wei Ning.

Actually, the purpose is to

inquire about the place of the Glazed Armor

for you, Master.

But,

but, I,

I don't know why,

why did I,

I develop a relationship with him.

Please, Master.

Could you please

spare the Gentle Wind Sword Sect?

Sorry, Master.

I know I shouldn't say this.

But,

but I don't want him to hate me.

He,

he has no relationship with me.

I,

I just don't want anything happened to him.

It's okay.

This kind of little things doesn't deserve your crying like this.

However, Master,

I'm afraid.

People are all saying that

the evil and justice can't have a happy ending together.

I'm different with Brother Cao.

All I know is how to kill and hurt people

and how to prevent others from hurting me.

Even the purpose of approaching him is

full of malicious intentions.

He is nice to me now,

but the reason is that I'm hiding all the things.

One day, he knows about my identity.

If he doesn't pick a broadsword to kill me,

it would prove that he has affection and faith to me.

How dare him?

If he dares to fail you,

I'll kill his whole family.

Master,

I let him down.

He doesn't.

Master, I'm so afraid.

I think

the nicer he treats me,

the more visional I feel all things are.

It's like the snowman you made for me.

When the sun came out,

it, it melted.

Didn't I make some others for you later?

Don't cry.

But I just like the first one.

No matter how big and nice the snowmen

you made later are,

they still can't compare with

the one you made with me the first time.

Master,

if one day,

Zhou Xu knows your identity,

will you kill him and

find another new friend?

That's enough, Gu Xiang.

Don't forget you're the Heartless Amethyst Fiend.

It's only a little time that you've got in touch with the mortal world.

How could you become so sentimental?

Can I forget it? How could I?

The ugly wife still can meet her parents in law.

But,

but the Heartless Amethyst Fiend of the Ghost Valley can't expose to the light.

Alright,

I've decided.

Listen to me,

you've grown up in the Ghost Valley since childhood

and have no experience in martial arts world.

They have no reason to know your identity.

You can hide it from him to the end.

I promise you that

I won't do anything to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

Don't involve in

the business of the Ghost Valley anymore.

If I don't contact you,

just stay in Mount Qingfeng.

Well, then,

You don't need the Glazed Armor anymore?

No need.

The Glazed Armor

was just a cover originally.

You're awake, Master Wen.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Come here with me.

I have a word for you.

Uncle Wen, Brother Cao, don't leave.

I, I don't know how to cook.

Master Wen,

why did you suddenly call me out?

I…

When I was still a kid,

I picked Ah Xiang back.

For the first time I fed her porridge,

I scalded her mouth.

When we were kids, we stayed in a

very inhuman place where

I couldn't even take care of myself.

I didn't want to bring this encumbrance with me.

I thought about throwing her away several times.

However, this little guy,

having no clear expression still,

was like a little creature who struggled to survive and

followed me everywhere.

Even though her mouth was scalded,

she still smiled at me,

for fear of being left alone by me.

Ah Xiang told me about those.

I know.

She has suffered a lot during the growth.

It's hard for her to be like this

when having a bad example like me.

Ah Xiang is not my servant actually.

It's because I saved her

so that she wants to be a servant to serve me

when she grows up.

That's the reason.

In fact,

[Li Mansion]

I didn't realize it until now that

I didn't save her,

but she did.

Without this little guy around me,,

warming my heart,

I…

After saying so many things,

all I want to tell you is that

Ah Xiang is like a little sister to me.

If I put my position in an order generation,

she is kind of a daughter of me,

for I raised her up.

In my whole life,

few people are kind to me.

I'll use my life to pay

the few ones back.

And Ah Xiang is one of them.

There were some things

I couldn't

even dream of

back then.

But now,

it seems that they're not so difficult.

I want this little girl to have a better life.

I hope she can live a

happy life like the normal people.

Cao Wei Ning,

can you bring it to her?

Yes, of course.

Although I can't provide her great fortunes,

I can still…

I'm not asking for great fortunes.

Just bring her back to the Gentle Wind Sword Sec tomorrow.

But I need you promise me that

you'll live up to her heart to you.

Whenever what happens,

you'll protect and take care of her,

making her happy and safein her whole life.

Can you make it?

I know, Master Wen.

Don't worry anymore.

Today, I swear to God in front of you.

Heaven and earth, please be my witnesses.

I, Cao Wei Ning, in my whole life,

from now to death,

counting every second,

will never do things failing Ah Xiang.

If I regret, I would accept the curse from God and Evil.

Don't be so confident.

After all, the time you two have met is short.

She might not be the person you imagined.

I don't push you to swear.

But since you made this vow today,

don't think God and Evil are only tales.

If you really fail Ah Xiang in the future,

I'll be the first to break you into pieces.

I understand.

I know her.

Figuring a person out

is not up to time.

When I first met her,

I would treat her well in my entire life.

Since today I can realize my wish,

I'm more than happy.

If I really fail her later,

I'll kill myself

without your words.

Okay, this is your own words.

If you can't do it,

I won't let you go even when I become ghost.

Deal.

Deal.

There is no such bride relative talking to the bridegroom like this.

Aren't you afraid of the bridegroom sending the bride back?

You're eavesdropping us.

I'm not.

It's fair and square.

Wei Ning, if this elder

bullies you,

I'll take charge of him.

All you need to do is to treat Ah Xiang well.

Okay, we're leaving tomorrow.

I'll make some preparation.

This bridegroom is nice,

but why do you so hurry to

send Ah Xiang away?

Don't you worry that the families of the Cao's won't welcome her?

Who has the nerve?

Lao Wen,

why do you so hurry to

leave Ah Xiang to others?

Because I have someone caring me,

I begin to like matchmaking.

I want to arrange Ah Xiang properly.

And then, quitting from the martial arts world,

I will live a tranquil life with you.

Then Philanthropist Wen,

please be kind and be a matchmaker for me.

Uncle Wen,

Don't call Brother Cao away so long.

I don't know how to cook.

What should I do if the pot seems to be burnt?

He went down the mountain to buy food.

No need to cook.

See?

Still talking about the tranquil life.

With this little brat,

we'll only have the days of turmoil.

Ah Xu, is this liquor or vinegar?

How could you swallow it as it tastes so bad?

Where can I get good liquor in this backcountry?

Just make do with it.

When we get to the Four Season Manor,

I'll dig out the good liquor I used to bury

in the plum forest and let you have a taste.

Master, there is a plum forest in our Manor?

Not only a plum forest.

The people of the Martial arts world have a word to describe our Manor.

Full of flowers all the year round, knowing everything in the world.

To get the Glazed Armor, the Ghost Valley… The valley put the martial arts world into disorder… People were killed by the Valley… It was hated by both human and God… In order to bring peace back to the world, we suggest that… All the things bothered are…

Father.

Scorpion, you're at a right timing.

The Xianxia Sect coped with this problem properly.

Those people set free deliberately by Pretty Arhat

ran to Mount Song all the way.

They kneed in the front door of

Shaoling Temple for three days and nights

to ask the big monk to come out and uphold justice for them.

Guess what happened to that old guy, Ci Mu?

He couldn't sit still.

He is calling on all sects jointly to crusade against the Ghost Valley.

Leader Zhao, please join in at that time.

Sincerely.

Father, what's your view?

I don't have any view.

These sects are all hypocrites.

Back then,

they were all looking on at our trouble with aloofness

when the Ghost Valley was against us..

Now,

they have a taste of the trouble and know the felling.

It's not that easy to

invite the Five Lakes Alliance to take up an official post.

If they want me to participate,

they need to show their sincerity.

Father, I don't understand.

Son,

you're still so young and lack of experience.

It was the same for Gao Chong

who didn't understand this all his life.

Think about it.

Among the bad things made by the Ghost Valley,

the main of them is focused on us

except the little ones.

But why does Gao Chong choose to

hold a hell meeting of heroes at this time?

The people attended are all nobody.

They were just to join in the fun.

None of the famous sects

came.

Right.

None of the biggest eight sects came.

Eventhe Changming Sword Immortal only sent

one disciple to take part in it.

So, my son,

these famous and orthodox sects in the martial arts world

are either blinded by gain and greed

or fishing for fame and credit.

Their plans are stingy and everyone wants to get the most benefits.

If you want to let them fight against the Ghost Valley together,

it is impossible with only Justice but not benefit.

So is the opposite.

So you need to paint a big cake

and put justice and benefit into it

to attract these sects.

Good boy, if you're full,

take care of my Ah Xiang.

Behave yourself.

Who is yours?

[Li Mansion]

Xiao Hong and Da Hong.

Choose one to ride.

I've prepared the food and water for you.

We can say goodbye here.

Ah Xiang, why are you still angry at me?

I'm not.

I'm the servant of Master,

so of course I'll follow him.

Just go back to your Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

Ah Xiang, I'm wrong.

Please don't be angry.

Who says you're wrong?

You're the young master of the famous sect.

I'm just a country girl.

We're not the same kind of people.

Who says you're a country girl?

Brother Win.

Master.

Aren't you mine?

Does that mean I am a rustic?

Cao Wei Ning, do you have your purse?

Yes, yes.

I don't want this servant anymore.

I can sell her to you at the price of three silver coins.

If you want her, just give me the money.

And you can't regret after finishing the trade.

Master, you, you're a bastard.

See? This cunning servant is bullying her master.

I…

How can I keep her anymore?

How about this? I'll give you a 50% discount.

One and a half silver coins. Don't think it's expensive.

My Ah Xu is so capable that

he is worth only three silver coins.

What are you laughing?

Zhou Xu, take control of him.

How could I take control of him?

If you don't, then who will do it?

So savage.

I can give her to you for free. I don't need her anymore.

Take her.

Brother Wen.

With God witnessing,

I never think Ah Xiang is

a servant.

Thanks you for believing and handing her to me.

After telling my master,

I'll take the formal procedures to make an

offer of marriage and provide the dowry

without any slight.

Dowry?

Is it prepared by the families of bride?

You know nothing about it.

Ah Xiang.

[Li Mansion]

Scorpion, help me make a book of the ghosts.

Spread it to the martial arts world.

Now we have allied with each other.

Why do we regret it?

Father, if you spread this book to

the martial arts world,

it's cutting off the back ways of them.

Then,

how could I drive them to do things later?

Scorpion,

Now Shaolin Temple has come forward,

and this pot of soup is in a perfect status.

Besides,

what is the use of this gang of ghosts?

The traps are all set.

All we need to do is driving the prey into them.

Still don't understand?

Since we want to wipe out the Ghost Valley,

who are they going to kill

if the ghosts are outside?

Think that where they can go

if they lost the protection of me

and can't make any step in the world.

So your meaning is leaving them no choice and

forcing them

back to the Ghost Valley.

But, Father,

what if they say something when they get out?

Who will believe in them?

Besides,

the case that Gao Chong colluded with the Ghost Valley

was an unsolved case.

And it's pending up to now.

Although it can be paused and not mentioned,

it still has a bad influence to us

more or less.

So at this time,

I hope these bad guys can have dogfights within them.

We'll take the opportunity to find one of them

to testify for us.

The Ghost Valley framed the Five Lakes Alliance was

to split the martial arts world.

We were suffering an injustice.

Once our sin is washed out,

Brother Gao Chong won't see it at that time.

Then tell me if the sects

would be very embarrassed?

I'll lead all sects to clear the Ghost Valley.

I'll get the power and reputation

with the apology from all sects.

Now if there's an election of the chief,

who can be it except me.

Father,

how could you be so brilliant?

Even Zhu Ge Liang is brought back to life,

he will be ashamed to compare with your intelligence.

You little barbarian really have a silken tongue

to make me happy.

How could this little trick of mine

compare to the ancient oracle?

[It's only that we hear nothing from Lovelace until now.]

[Normally,]

[Yu Qiu Feng is no match for him.]

[He must hide]

[because he finds something wrong.]

[It doesn't matter.]

[Now, all the sects]

[are searching you for me.]

[Let's see where you can hide.]
