Original subtitles

Kind lady.

You look sweet,

but you're fierce.

I don't believe you!

Master?

Gu Xiang, stop being an embarrassment.

Your martial arts are poor, now you have poor taste too?

I apologize for my servant's rudeness.

I don't deserve this.

I should apologize instead.

So you know martial arts too.

A friend in the martial arts world.

I'm sorry.

I was neglectful just now.

I am Zhang Chengling.

I belong to the Mirror Lake Sect of the Five Lakes Alliance.

May I ask which clique or sect are you from?

What's your name?

I don't deserve that.

My friend, are you injured or ill?

I'm not talented. I don't belong to any clique or sect.

Young Master, let's go. Let's not bother about him.

Since you came to the area of Yue's Mirror Lake Sect,

if you don't mind, you're our guest now.

It doesn't matter if you're injured, ill, or facing a problem,

you may always bring my name card to the Mirror Lake Manor for a stay.

Young Master,

even if you have a name card,

you can't randomly give it out to people on the street.

Master has said that this name card--

This is what my father told me to do.

We rely on our parents at home, but depend on our friends outside.

Righteous men should help each other.

Look, he's so ill.

Since I met him--

Young Master, how do you know he's a righteous man？

Look at his attire. What if he's a bad guy?

Young Master, we should leave.

We'll be late if we don't hurry up.

Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhang.

Are you busy?

I mustn't hold you up.

Yes, I almost forgot about it.

I'm rushing to buy my mother some pastries.

My friend, you're welcome.

Everything will stay as it is.

We will meet again.

MIRROR LAKE SECT, ZHANG CHENGLING

Forget it.

When Jiuxiao was young,

he was as silly as him too.

Master.

I was about to punish him.

Why didn't you let me punish that sick man?

QINGYU TOWER

His steps were so tricky.

He was so annoying.

Can you even

fight against

the Swift Moving Steps?

"Swift Moving Steps"?

Which sect is that from?

Four Seasons Manor.

Four Seasons Manor?

What's "Four Seasons Manor"?

Why haven't I heard about it?

This man might be the variable.

I should go and meet him.

You chase me and I'll chase you

There's a legend in the martial arts world

The water from the Five Lakes

Gathers around the world

Who else deserves the supremacy In the martial arts world?

It's this song again.

The martial arts world has only settled for a few years,

but the Five Lakes World Alliance wants to gain power again

and become the supreme leader of the martial arts world unfairly.

They don't deserve it.

It will be a disaster.

Who are you?

You evil kid. What are you doing?

Couldn't you see that I was sleeping?

-Are you free to offer me a ride now? -Yes.

I want to go to Mirror Lake Manor.

Three maces of silver for a ride. Are you still going?

All right, let's go!

Silly kid.

You can get 20 round trips with 3 maces of silver.

You stated your price and I agreed with it.

It's already a deal.

It's none of your business even if I'm silly.

Wait a minute.

Kid, are you crazy?

You look sick as if you're dying soon.

Do you have any bad intentions?

Are you planning to cheat on me?

Go away!

I'm not making a deal with you.

Go away!

A fated man would not be rejected.

Why are you forcing him when you're not fated?

If you don't mind,

why don't you have a ride with me?

What are you doing?

You pretentious guy! What are you planning to do?

Are you snatching my customer?

Don't you know that it's "first come, first served"?

Silly kid, let's go!

All right. I can go?

-Come. -See you again.

Come! Hurry up.

Don't worry about your trip,

I'll eventually welcome you.

Master.

Who exactly is that sick man?

A variable.

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

This is the legendary Jiangnan, with apricot blossoms and misty rain.

What are you doing?

It's worth it even if I die here.

Damn it. Little jerk, don't you dare to leave!

You haven't paid yet!

You evil sick man.

Did you dress up like this to cheat around?

Others dine and dash, but you ride and dash?

You're overestimating yourself.

Why don't you take a look at yourself?

You don't have that overlord look at all!

Give me the money!

If you don't pay,

I'll break your bones and boil them in my soup.

You said that I rode and dash?

Yes. I was talking about you, evil kid!

I shall ride and dash then!

Don't run!

Stop!

You evil kid!

Damn it, Old Jerk.

My apologies.

Take no offense, please.

Sir, your footwork is of godlike elegance.

I am so impressed.

So I purposely came here to have a look at them again.

Elegant?

Damn it.

Sir, is there anything wrong with your eyes?

No, my taste is perfectly fine.

Your steps were like the snow in the wind

and the moon hidden behind the clouds.

They were beautiful.

Who is this guy?

He knows about Four Seasons Manor's Swift Moving Steps.

It seems to me that you also love wine.

The spring day is perfect.

Why don't we drink together on my boat?

As they say, "After having a bottle of wine among the flowers,

you would no longer feel lonely."

You followed me here.

What's your purpose? Why don't you make it clear?

I followed you?

Didn't you say,

"See you again"?

So I'm here to see you.

He's so good at flattery.

Are we seeing each other again?

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

My master is kind and generous.

First Young Master and Second Young Master

also like to associate with talented and righteous men.

Although our manor is small, there are quite a few martial artists.

Each of them is heroic and good at martial arts.

I didn't expect that Little Young Master would learn from them.

But his sense

is too different.

The water from the Five Lakes Gathers around the world

Who else deserves the supremacy In the martial arts world?

Mirror Lake Sect hasn't been involved in worldly affairs for some time.

We shall wish those who want to become the supreme leader

of the martial arts world good luck.

ZHANG YUSEN

But Father,

recently, the song has become worse.

There's another verse.

Its lyrics are creepy. It's very suspicious.

The Iridescent Clouds are scattered

And the Glaze is shattered

Who will cry With the Ghosts on Mount Qingya?

What?

Is this song hinting about the Glazed--

Chengfeng, watch your words.

Father.

This year, Deng Kuan came to invite you

to the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering of the Five Lakes Alliance again.

Why don't we visit Mr. Gao in Yueyang City this year?

THE SUPREME KINDNESS

-That's Zhang Yusen, Master Zhang, right? -It has been a long time

-since we last met Mr. Gao. -They are Master and First Young Master.

Master, this way, please.

LIKE WATER

Who is that man?

That man?

He's a beggar who has Chengling's name card

and is trying to seek money.

I don't know how they met.

I didn't want to spoil his mood,

so I asked the butler to offer him a room.

Chengfeng, you should take care of both of your brothers.

From today onward, don't allow Chengluan and Chengling to leave this island.

Yes, Father.

WOODSHED

Sir.

Sir, since you're a friend of Little Young Master,

you're an important guest.

But we don't have enough rooms.

You might have to stay in this woodshed for a few days.

Woodshed?

If you're offended--

A woodshed is good.

I have another request.

Sir, please go ahead.

This wine bottle is empty.

Its stomach is growling.

I understand.

I'll bring you wine and dishes later.

Thank you.

I'll leave then.

Everything is taken care of.

Only a few stubborn generals

tried to resist.

I've killed them all.

Hang their heads at the city gate

to serve as an example.

Yes.

Your Highness, we have news from the spy.

At Jiangnan, someone is spreading

a creepy song among the kids.

It seems to be hinting at the whereabouts of the Glazed Armor.

Send people to investigate it right away.

There's one more piece of news.

The spy who followed Zhou Zishu

lost his trace not long after.

He has indeed prepared for it. Continue searching for him.

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

It's midnight.

The Nails of Seven Torments are hurrying my death again.

Help!

-Help! Please help us! -Help!

Help!

I think I've read

about these ghost masks in some books.

The Ghost Valley from Mount Qingya?

Why is this group of devils after the Mirror Lake Sect?

They are all servants.

None of the martial artists is fighting back.

They seem to have lost their power.

Mirror Lake Sect is devastated by Ghost Valley.

Little Young Master, follow me!

The Trapped Sparrow?

Why is a spy from the Window of Heaven here?

Forget it. I need to save them first.

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

Hide quickly!

Are you all right?

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

-Sick Man? -Old Jerk! Bring the kid away!

Let's go! Hurry up!

MIRROR LAKE MANOR

Zhang Yusen!

If you don't want to suffer,

hand in the Glazed Armor quickly!

No way!

All right. You're not afraid of dying.

But are you afraid of witnessing the death of your two beloved sons?

Are you all right?

Sir.

Who exactly are you?

I rode and dashed,

but I saved your life.

We're even now.

Sick Man, you're wrong.

You rode on my boat two times.

I helped you this time too,

but you still didn't pay me.

Sick Man.

We still have to run.

We can't stay here for too long.

I'm sick. I can't run anymore.

Bring this kid away.

Don't care about me.

You--

No way. You saved me.

I can't leave you here.

If my father finds out

that I'm discourteous,

he'll break my legs.

Are you silly?

Your father could have already died.

No one will punish you anymore.

Hurry up and run away!

My father won't die.

My father is Autumn Moon Sword, Hero of Mirror Lake.

Of course I know who your father is.

He saved my life.

I paddled a boat in front of your house for three years

because I was looking for a chance

to return him my life.

Hurry up and run away!

Run towards Tai Lake and look for Hero Sanbai.

Once you meet people from the Five Lakes Alliance,

-tell them your identity. -I'm not leaving!

I'm a martial artist!

Sirs, quickly heal your injuries.

I'll guard you!

Silly kid.

He's a good kid,

but he's silly.

Sick Man,

can you still stand up?

I need 15 minutes.

All right.

Hanged Ghost, one of the Ten Devils from Mount Qingya is here!

Hand in the Glazed Armor,

and I'll make you suffer less!

You foul ghost!

Go inside!

Mr. Li!

Mr. Li!

I'll kill you!

I didn't expect that

Autumn Mood Sword would have such a useless kid.

You arrogant ghost should be hanged!

How dare you do evil in front of me? I'll turn you into a real ghost!

Hey, beggar. You're good at martial arts.

Nice sword.

Master!

Sir, we meet again.

Mr. Li.

Mr. Li.

Bastard.

I was almost brought away by the Grim Reaper.

Master.

Hurry up and save him.

Why are you crying?

I'm not dead yet.

It's not too late to cry for me after I take my last breath.

Sick Man.

Your martial arts

are good.

It's slightly better than yours.

I give up.

I don't owe anyone in my life.

Today,

I can finally repay my life.

I can rest in peace now.

You didn't pay

for your boat ride twice.

One trip costs three maces of silver,

including the interest.

If you're not a bastard,

you shall repay me.

What do you want me to do? Just say it.

I want you--

I want you to bring this kid

to Five Lakes Alliance's

Zhao Jing safely.

Mr. Li.

No, I'm not leaving!

Silly kid!

You're a good kid.

But your father has taught you

too well.

In the future--

In the future--

Sick Man,

what's your name?

I'm…

Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu?

All right.

Silly kid, kowtow to him quickly.

In the future, you must listen to him.

Hurry up!

Mr. Zhou.

Good.

Zhou Xu,

he has paid his respects.

You must be loyal to him.

I'll--

I'll remember your name.

God will be watching you.

If you break your promise,

I'll curse 18 generations of your ancestors

even if I'm in the netherworld!

Mr. Li.

Mr. Li!

Mr. Li!

Mr. Li!

Mr. Li.

Mr. Li.

I promise you.

Call the boatman here!

Yes!

YUE

What's wrong?

What are you waiting for? Prepare the boats!

Deng Kuan, this boat has been gouged.

Deng Kuan, this one too.

Deng Kuan, this one too.

Deng Kuan.

The boatman is dead. His whole family was killed.

Do you know his name?

I only know his surname, Li.

Mr. Li.

You have good sense.

You entrusted the kid to Mr. Zhou.

I can see that Mr. Zhou has such a prominent and sharp bone structure.

He must be a man who places much value in loyalty.

You may rest in peace.

Thank you.

My name is Wen. Wen Kexing.

You're Zhou Xu.

Which character of "Xu"?

The one for willow catkins.

What a good name.

A righteous and just man

with a body like flying catkins.

TOMB OF MR. LI

What's wrong?

Mr. Zhou, I'm fine.

I suddenly just felt dizzy.

Excuse me, sir.

Stop trying to be tough.

You're exhausted.

You need to rest.

No, Mr. Zhou. I can travel.

It's all right to rest for one night.

Gu Xiang.

Set up the fire and make some food.

You don't need to tell me.

They're all done. Come in!

Mr. Zhou. Master Zhang.

Please come in.

Master.

Master!

Sir.

Master, you shall eat first.

I will serve him, all right?

Hey.

Beggar.

Although you're good at martial arts,

you're timid.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid that I'll poison you?

Return it to me if you're not eating. I'm still hungry--

Sir, if you don't trust her, you can have this.

I'm not hungry.

This--

You're being very cautious with us,

but you were tricked by that guy

just for three maces of silver.

You promised to take care of him

without knowing who he is.

Little girl, what do you know?

"An ordinary traveler obeyed his principle and kept his promise.

He traveled a long journey

without fear of death."

Zhou, your action

shows that you're a gentleman.

What do you mean?

Master, stop acting literate.

I have a headache whenever you do that.

This is written in Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian.

It means,

even if he's an ordinary man,

once he made a promise, he would fulfill it.

Because of that, he would travel a long way

without worrying about his life.

That is called a ranger.

My father taught me this.

Mr. Zhou, I--

-Thank you. -You don't have to thank me.

What's wrong?

You don't like that bread?

Here's a bun. Catch it.

I'm not eating your food.

Enough, Young Master.

I saved your life.

Why don't you die

and return me your life?

Little girl, that's enough.

Your words are hurtful. Beware that you can't get married.

Indeed, people nowadays can't distinguish between good and evil.

I just saved his life.

I only scolded him slightly,

but he glared at me.

Why didn't you fight your enemies instead?

Coward!

Ms. Gu, you're right.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Thank you for saving my life, miss.

I didn't ask you to kneel.

Enough, stand up.

Mr. Zhou.

Did you disguise yourself?

Young Master Zhang.

My name is Zhang Chengling.

Hero, you may call me Chengling.

Don't call me "Hero."

I hate to be associated with heroes.

Master.

Previously, this guy kept talking about being righteous

and helping others,

as if he was telling stories.

I thought that he's capable of doing them.

It turns out that he was just bluffing.

When there's a fight, he would only run away

and cry.

I think that you can only act out

the manner of a righteous man in the theater.

You--

Me? What's wrong?

A man should never quarrel with others.

You're a man who can't even hold a sword properly.

Gu Xiang.

I haven't thanked you, kind lady.

You have helped us at the crucial moment.

Stop calling me a kind lady.

You're giving me goosebumps.

My name is Gu Xiang.

We are indeed fated.

We met at the right time.

We met at the wrong time too.

Your fate is granted by God.

Aren't you and Little Young Master Zhang

fated too?

Young Master Zhang,

are you injured?

I'm fine.

Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wen.

You should be treated early if you're injured.

I've learned some medical skills from my family.

If you don't mind,

-I can-- -It's all right, I'm fine.

He said that he's fine.

Stop hiding his injury and refusing my treatment, Mr. Zhou.

I won't be the one to blame

if he dies from the worsened injury,

but your ancestors in the netherworld would…

Mr. Wen, if you have a bad intention,

why don't you make it clear?

You don't have to act.

If you're not our enemy, stop forcing him.

All right.
