Gu Xiang!

Why are you up?

Gu Xiang.

Gu Xiang. Luckily, you're fine.

I dreamed that I didn't protect you well.

Why is it so painful?

Lie properly.

You were beaten up and were unconscious for the past few days.

Who can you protect?

Gu Xiang,

I dreamed a lot and couldn't wake up.

I failed to protect you in every one of them.

I was so anxious.

I even died in the last one.

I was happily waiting for you by the Naihe Bridge.

I thought I'd have to wait for 60 or 70 years

until you become an elderly woman with white hair.

But not long after, you came.

I thought, "No way.

Aren't you too young to die?"

-I was panicking. -Are you cursing me?

I'm not.

Knock on wood.

Gu Xiang.

You're so kind.

You will live a long life.

Where's Xiaolian?

She was abducted by those two old demons.

We need to save her!

Forget it.

Lie down!

You're half dead. Who can you save?

Who saved me?

Was it my master?

Where are my masters?

Calm down, please.

Chief Yu of Mount Hua Sect saved you.

Rest here nicely. Don't move around.

I'll get some medicine for you.

Ms. Gu,

is Weining feeling better?

He's fine.

That's great.

Weining is a chivalrous man.

This is an adjacent residence of Mount Hua Sect.

Let him rest here at ease.

Enough, Chief Yu.

I've told him.

Stop forcing yourself

to be "pretendious" in front of a little siren like me.

Do whatever you like.

Gu Xiang, it's "pretentious."

All right.

You can chat here.

I won't disturb Weining.

Qianqiao, couldn't you save my face

in front of an outsider?

Gu Xiang, you're still so uneducated.

How can you be a good match for a nobleman?

Who wants to be his match?

I can even be a good match for a prince.

That idiot…

Yes.

Even the emperor doesn't deserve you.

Look. Even our Heartless Amethyst Fiend

would start to feel sad.

Gu Xiang, listen to my advice.

It's urgent now, we shall only think about the present.

Young Hero Cao is injured.

You should stay here for now.

I'll help my master settle down first.

Qianqiao.

Why did the leader of the Mount Hua Sect

save Madam Luo with you?

How did you convince him?

You'd better tell me first in case I got the story wrong.

His son was killed by the Five Lakes Alliance.

I promised to help him with his revenge,

so he helped me save my master.

Is that all?

I think that man is quite cunning.

Qianqiao, you'd better be careful.

My good girl.

Stop worrying about me.

Just take care of Young Hero Cao.

All right. I'm going to get him some medicine.

I'll leave first.

Little girl.

It's time to eat.

Are you deaf or dead?

Why? Are you trying to starve yourself to death?

No way!

If you're dead,

all of my efforts will be wasted.

Open your mouth!

Open your mouth!

Eat! Eat it!

-Enough, old woman. -Eat--

Stop torturing this little girl.

Let me convince her.

How can you do that?

What exactly is that bastard, Huang He,

going to do?

Now that Gao Chong has settled his debt,

he can go after Shen Shen and Zhao Jing directly.

What's the point of capturing this girl?

This girl knows nothing.

We should either kill or release her.

Why bother imprisoning her?

Releasing her is not an option.

We went through a lot to abduct her.

There is no way to go back now.

Girl, tell us everything you know.

Your father is no longer here.

Why are you being stubborn?

You're the only one suffering here.

Neither of us will torture you.

But other people might!

Zhou Xu, are you feeling hot?

Look, you're sweating.

Come, I'll fan you.

I wasn't feeling hot,

but once you spoke,

I began to feel annoyed.

Mr. Wen, my master is doing well.

You should take care of me instead.

You're being lazy again.

Practice for an hour more.

Master, I've practiced the Swift Moving Steps

a few thousand times.

I'm already familiar with it and can handle it well.

Can I stop practicing now?

How dare you talk back to me?

Two more hours!

Zhou Xu, you're normally nice and gentle.

Why are you so strict with your disciple?

Things might go wrong if you rush it.

You have to teach with patience.

How?

Fine. I was too nosy.

You are teaching him according to his aptitude.

A strict mentor makes a good disciple.

I won't take anyone's advice.

Don't you know "clumsy birds should start flying early"?

I can protect you now,

but can I protect you forever?

Master, I didn't say that I wouldn't fly.

But…

I can't do it now even if I want to.

He has to practice his martial arts,

but he can't if he has a heatstroke.

Chengling really can't take it anymore.

Why don't you allow him to rest for a while in the carriage?

Go on with your training!

Is he your disciple or mine?

Are you teaching him instead?

All right, I'll shut up. You're right.

What's wrong with Wen Kexing these days?

He acts like a wife who feels wronged.

What is he planning?

Greetings, Master. Scorpion King.

Changing Ghost. Lustful Ghost.

This must be Happy Ghost.

Welcome!

Mr. Zhao. Scorpion King.

Mr. Zhao, your strategy worked so well this time.

I truly respect you.

You're overpraising me.

The Heroes Conference at Mount Jun was held smoothly

thanks to you

and the other ghosts' cooperation.

Greetings, Zhao Jing…

Chief Zhao.

Greetings, Scorpion King.

No wonder you are known as the Happy Ghost.

You really make people happy.

Lustful Ghost.

Chief Zhao, you've finally succeeded.

Who else besides you can be the supreme leader

of the martial arts world?

We are all brothers. Please save the courtesy.

We still have a long way to go.

We now have no clue of the whereabouts of the Glazed Armor.

I will need lots of support from you in the future.

Mr. Zhao.

You mean the pieces of Glazed Armor that were destroyed by Gao Chong

at the Heroes Conference were fake?

I don't think my brothers should waste their effort

on nothing.

I know Gao Chong well.

He did that just to confuse others.

He planned to end the fight over the Glazed Armor

by committing suicide.

He must have

kept the real Glazed Armor in a safe place.

So you have to work hard to search for it.

Also, regarding the search for Hanged Ghost,

you should put in more effort.

But as for the Five Lakes Alliance…

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

You don't have to worry about it.

Since you mentioned this,

I'm still confused about one thing.

Wen Kexing said

that his Glazed Armor was snatched by Hanged Ghost.

The Five Lake Alliance

has five pieces of Glazed Armor, right?

How many pieces do you have?

Changing Ghost.

I'll let you know what you're supposed to know.

Why should you care about things

that you're not supposed to know?

Changing Ghost, look at what you have done.

Working with the righteous clans,

we have to work hard, yet we get nothing.

What's good about that?

Moreover, I think Zhao Jing and Scorpion King…

They are both mad.

Do you think I don't know that?

How could they come up with this plan if they're not mad?

Without such a plan,

how can my dream come true?

What are you up to?

He wants to become the chief of the Ghost Valley.

What's so nice about becoming the chief?

Every day, 3,000 evil ghosts look at you with hopes of replacing you.

Who can keep an eye on his back forever?

Everyone will die.

You're right.

What's the point of becoming the chief?

Everything is still the same.

We can never see the sun.

Even a fierce king of the valley like Wen Kexing

can't escape his fate.

What's your plan then?

Didn't you ever think

of returning to the human world?

We'll ride on the fastest horses,

drink the strongest wine,

play with the prettiest ladies…

That's good!

And kill

the cruelest enemies.

Yes!

I want that so badly!

Changing Ghost.

No one will recognize you if you disguise yourself.

You're the head of the Ten Devils of the Ghost Valley.

But my face…

When I get too excited,

I can't speak.

Who can't recognize me because of that?

What if I tell you

there's a holy item of the Healer Valley

hidden in the armory,

which can revive a dead person, cure any severe injuries,

and treat any illness in this world?

What do you think?

Wen Kexing, accompany me to get some food.

You take a rest first. I'll go instead.

Good disciple, go and get some food with me.

Mr. Wen.

Even my little finger can't move.

Chengling can't go.

He has to practice.

Master.

I taught you the Emerging Phoenix yesterday.

Practice it 500 times before your dinner.

Right.

Bring two fish back. I want to drink fish soup tonight.

I want to drink old monster soup!

Why don't you boil yourself then?

You brat!

How dare you be so arrogant?

Zhou Xu, give it a taste.

Young man.

Don't you know about respecting the elderly?

It's fine. I'll get another bowl for you.

Zhou Xu.

Thank you, Wen Kexing.

Chengling.

Bring this soup to Young Chief Long.

Feed him if he wants to have it.

Zhou Xu.

Why do you call that brat "young chief"?

Qin Huaizhang and Long Que swore to live and die together.

Long Que met the little brat, Rong Xuan,

through Qin Huaizhang.

"Little brat"?

What's your relationship with Rong Xuan?

How do you know Rong Xuan's relationship with these people?

Do you want to know?

Why do you act like an old lady?

You are so nosy.

Master Ye, our journey to Shu this time is far and tough.

How do you know that the answer is in Longyuan Cabinet?

Except for the one who started the whole thing,

the only insider who is still alive now is Long Que.

We can only meet him if we want to find out.

Master Ye. Master.

Who exactly is Long Que?

The Longyuan Cabinet's former leader Long Que

is a sworn friend of your grand master.

The superficial knowledge of mechanics passed down

in the Four Seasons Manor

is all from the Longyuan Cabinet.

When I first joined the clan,

Old Chief Long visited us frequently.

But I don't know

why he disappeared suddenly.

There was a misunderstanding between my master and him,

so he didn't look for him.

Later,

my master received

a distress letter from a Mechanical Sparrow.

Only then did he know something was wrong.

He came to Shu several times.

Master.

Did Grand Master find him?

No.

No one knows the actual position of the Longyuan Cabinet.

People said that it was a portable fortress in the mountains.

Back then, the Window of Heaven was not as influential.

I dispatched some people to search for it a few times.

Every time, they would come back and tell me

that the address of the place was correct,

but nothing was found there.

They were just useless.

Even their leader was useless,

they would only be worse.

Useless disciple

and your useless friend.

But your soup is acceptable.

How did you survive all these years without being strangled to death?

I'm good at martial arts.

Master Ye, this soup might be poisoned.

Aren't you drinking it too?

FIVE LAKES WORLD ALLIANCE

Have a seat, my brothers. Be at ease.

Where are the leaders of Jujing Gang

and Purple Wave Cove?

These bastards!

They are turning against us.

They even swore to leave the alliance and never come back!

Such a serious matter has happened to our alliance.

It's unavoidable that they lose trust in us.

It's normal.

Hero Zhao,

you're too generous.

But what these bastards did…

No, they are treating

the oath that we swore when we entered this alliance

as sugarcane now!

They are spitting it out after they taste its sweetness.

Isn't that taking advantage of us?

In the 100-year history of the Five Lakes Alliance,

there wasn't a time

when a chief collaborated with an evil clan

and killed his brother.

Seriously…

We still can't conclude whether the former chief

has collaborated with the Ghost Valley.

The accusation of murdering a brother is huge.

We can't stop outsiders from gossiping,

but how can we, the brothers, be disturbed by such things?

Hero Zhao.

It has only been a few days,

but those who fought over Gao Chong's body

all died horribly.

Isn't this enough to explain

that the Ghost Valley is avenging Gao Chong?

Am I right?

The elder of the Kongtong Sect was killed by Happy Ghost.

Eagle Claw Clan's Sun Zhong died in the middle of the street.

Sixteen disciples of the Iron Fist Gang died in an inn.

A letter was engraved on each of their chests.

Together, they read,

"You kill a man of mine, I'll exterminate your clan.

We, the ghosts of Mount Qingya, seek revenge for the smallest grievance."

Now, everyone in the martial arts world is anxious.

There are many complaints about the Five Lakes Alliance too.

If we can't survive this,

the departure of Jujing Gang and Golden Tiger Clans is just the start.

Although I'm not talented,

PROFOUND EXPECTATIONS

I truly know

that the more difficult it is,

the more united we have to be.

The Five Lakes Alliance didn't rise to the top

in just one day.

We must forge ahead

to show the world our resolution.

We are faced with such a crisis. It's indeed unfortunate.

However,

as long as you leaders trust me,

I'll try my best

to protect the reputation of the Five Lakes Alliance.

I'll let the Five Lakes Alliance grow for another 100 years!

-Well said! -Well said!

You disrespectful old man.

You ill-mannered kid.

Stop taking advantage of me.

Who's your kid?

How old can you be?

How dare you act like some talented senior?

I'm not your senior.

I'm your forefather.

You old monster!

JUJING GANG

I'm so angry!

Chief, you should reconsider quitting from the Five Lakes Alliance.

Reconsider?

Zhao Jing is unambitious and weak.

He's not a good leader.

If he's the chief,

the alliance will be doomed sooner or later!

What's wrong?

We can draw a dragon or a tiger, but not its bones.

We can recognize a man by his appearance, but not his heart.

Chief Wang.

We have similar thoughts

and a strong friendship,

but you insult me behind my back.

As your brother, I'm so hurt.

Yes!

Wang Moxuan, are you looking down on us now?

Why don't you kneel and apologize to Chief?

Our chief is generous.

He might forgive you for being muddleheaded once.

The Four Assassins?

The Scorpion Sect?

Chief Zhao.

So the rumors are real.

You're indeed doing dirty deeds with the Scorpion Sect.

Shut up!

Moxuan, you've misunderstood.

The Scorpion Sect now belongs to the Five Lakes Alliance.

From now onwards, we are brothers.

We shall get along in harmony.

How can Jujing Gang

collaborate with the Scorpion Sect?

Guards! Escort the guests out!

Someone!

You…

What did you do to my brothers?

Moxuan, don't panic.

There are rumors in the martial arts world

that the Jujing Gang is trying to split the alliance.

I don't think that's your intention.

Your subordinates must be the ones

who spread the rumors.

Am I right?

In your dreams!

We, the Jujing Gang,

are cutting ties with the Five Lakes Alliance!

Kill me if you dare!

Chief!

-You… -Chief!

Xie'er! Why did you kill him?

-Chief! -Father, didn't you hear him?

He said we could kill him if we dared to.

-Chief! -I think I do.

Nonsense!

I thought you had reformed yourself.

How can you kill a man like that?

Leave!

Yes.

WOLONG

Master Ye.

Do you want some nuts? They are from Wolong's.

They are really nice and crispy.

You little brat.

-Are you being lazy again? -No.

I've trained for half a day.

Mr. Wen asked me to have more nuts

as a supplement that can enhance my martial arts skills.

You have so many excuses.

You can't take the whole bag away even if they are tasty.

Leave me some.

Stop being lazy. Continue with your practice.

WANGCHEN INN

WOLONG

Come.

WANGCHEN INN

Master, I didn't make a mistake.

You've practiced a few thousand times.

You should not make a mistake!

This skill is called the "Swift Moving Steps,"

not "Dance Like A Bear"!

Your steps were worse than a spider's.

Again! Straighten your back!

Zhou Xu.

Don't punish your disciple with my Wolong nuts.

You're wasting a heavenly item.

I spent a long time queuing for it.

Master, it's too heavy.

I really can't straighten my back.

Can you decrease the weight?

Do you want me to remove your legs instead?

Zhou Xu.

After seeing how you teach your disciple,

I finally realized

how nice my master was.

Who's your master?

My biological father.

How could a father teach his biological son?

No wonder you're bad at martial arts.

This is how a teacher should teach a disciple.

Which legendary master is your disciple?

I didn't expect that you're not only bad at martial arts,

but you also can't drink either.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up.

Gather your true qi in your elixir field to acquire strength.

Little idiot, it's easier to spread than gather your qi now.

Spread your true qi to your limbs and bones.

Move your body with the true qi. You'll gain strength eventually.

Who asked you to listen to him?

Little idiot!

Breathe continuously. Gather your qi at your Conception and Governor vessels,

like a hundred rivers vanishing into the sea.

Listen to me!

Let your inner qi be tangible, flowing, and free,

moving flexibly like a snake.

-Let him go! -Zhou Xu, stop it! Chengling is…

You two did a good job.

Both of you finally tortured your disciple to death.

Are you satisfied now?

It's fine.

This is strange.

This kid was born with much wider meridians than others.

Is he a genius?

You're right. I've realized it long ago.

Chengling's meridians are wide and smooth,

like a wide river.

Compared to a narrow creek,

we need more time to fill it up.

His skills were not improving not because he wasn't trying hard.

Master, what's happening to me?

There's actually such a strange guy in this world.

He's clumsy, but he has marvelous sinews and bones.

Are the heavens favoring you or not?

Even if he has an excellent body,

he's a disciple of Zhou Xu.

Don't have bad intentions after realizing his potential.

I've seen better ones.

Are you still drinking?

Certainly.

-I'm not afraid of you. Come on! -Stand up.

Zhou Xu, you're my witness.

Today,

I'll keep drinking until this old monster calls me his father!

Little brat, stop bluffing. Come!

Come!

Chengling, are you all right?

If you really can't stand it,

just train for one more hour.

He has strangely good sinews and bones.

You can push him hard.

He won't die soon.

Why are you so talkative? Drink more!

-Come! -Cheers!

How did, Yu Qiufeng, that idiot

start working with Tragicomic Ghost?

Wuyang, how old did the girl who helped him

with the abduction looked like?

Father.

I'm sorry. I can't tell.

Judging from her appearance, she's slightly more than 20 at most,

but her skills were fierce.

They don't seem to be done by a young girl.

I didn't go in person and carry out your command.

Please punish me, Father.

I only asked you to order Scorpion Sect to abduct Tragicomic Ghost,

not to stop those people from abducting her.

Even those skillful assassins died.

You're still young.

How can you defeat the leader of the Mount Hua Sect?

I wouldn't blame you.

Throughout these years,

you've earned the trust of the chief of the Yueyang Sect

and helped me with many things.

Huairen and you are both good kids.

But…

Huairen couldn't make it to today.

Father!

Father, it's too rushed.

I can only set it up as how it was at the Sanbai Manor.

But…

I still don't know which screen to choose.

Do you want one with clouds and mountains,

or one with birds?

Father,

who is this?

You may leave first.

Yes.

Xie'er, you may make your own decisions on such a small matter.

You may stay there once you set it up.

I'll stay here.

That won't do.

Look how shabby this place is.

How can you stay here?

I'm a man with great ambitions and expectations.

All these years, I pretended to go after wealth

and indulge myself in enjoyment.

My goal

was to confuse those shortsighted people.

But now…

YIXIANG HALL

I've already become a strong power in the martial arts world.

I don't have to pretend anymore.

Yes.

Father, you're right.

But I've set everything up.

Father.

I picked everything myself.

Xie'er.

A man shouldn't be distracted by other things.

What I dislike the most are

your impetuous and distracting thoughts.

You have to focus.

You must put all your effort into your main task.

Complete what I've ordered you to do first.

Yes.

Let me go first!

Drink more! Cheers! Bottoms up!

Why should I?

Your mouth is big.

I…

How is my mouth big?

Zhou Xu!

Zhou Xu!

Zhou Xu!

This old monster said that I have a big mouth.

My mouth is just the right size.

Zhou Xu!

I found it!

You have some gray hair.

How dare you say I'm like an old lady? It's you who looks like one.

What's wrong with having a few gray hairs?

You're being too dramatic.

You're right.

I don't even know how long you, the old monster, have lived for.

What's wrong with having a few gray hairs?

But Mr. Ye.

How old exactly are you?

I can't remember.

Anyway, I could have died long ago.

Zhou Xu!

Zhou Xu!

I…

I…

Go to sleep.

It's fine. I'm not drunk.

I don't want to repeat myself.

Little brat.

You're still young.

Why don't you want to live?

Who told you that?

Your nails didn't give you a hard time recently, right?

Aren't you too happy?

It's a countdown to death.

Your organs are weakening.

Your vitality can't stop your internal injuries from worsening.

So it won't make you suffer.

I just don't understand.

Many people who deserve to die in this world

are doing everything possible to survive.

Why don't you want to live?

I have only two choices in my life.

Live peacefully

or die peacefully.

No one can force me to take a third path.

Little Qin, your disciple is so silly.

Are all the young men now so silly?

Changqing,

were we like this

when we were young?

I can't remember.

I've lived for too long.

I can't remember.

WANGCHEN INN

Zhou Xu.

Come. Let's drink.

What are you looking at?

Does it hurt?

Why don't you give it a try?

Look.

It has been so many years,

I've only met you, my only friend with similar ideas.

Can you not die?

I'll try my best.

Turn around. Look at me.

Say it again.

I don't want to look at you.

I can't stand your pretentious actions,

with a mask

and not being truthful at all.

I'm just…

I'm just scared…

You're scared of my illness

and that I'll die anytime soon,

so you acted along with me and protected me purposely.

Wen Kexing.

Are you pitying me

or humiliating me?

Don't leave!

I'm not leaving.

When you're sober,

I'll punch you in the face.

You know that I'm dying soon,

but you still brush me off with your fake actions.

They are not fake.

They're real.

You really deserve to be beaten up.

Hurry up and sleep!

I won't die too soon.

Life is short.

You should cherish it more.

Little brat.

I've said it.

I bet that I'm not wrong.

I bet that

you'll open up to me one day.

If I don't see my victory,

even God

can't take me away.

"Open up"?

Human hearts are evil.

What's so good about looking into mine?

I can only help you

after I see it.

Just sleep.

After looking into it,

you won't see me as your friend.
