Zhou Zishu.

Master Ye.

I've been waiting here for a long time.

You must be tired from the journey.

Are you making fun of me?

Since you and the Great Shaman are best friends,

why not ask for help yourself?

Living in the mountains for many years has made me a frog in the well.

I'm actually showing off my acquaintance in front of the Window of Heaven's chief.

I'm sorry, Master Ye.

I didn't know

you were friends with the Great Shaman.

I've known them for a long time.

I have my reason

for not being able to visit Nanjiang to seek medical treatment.

It really is a misunderstanding.

For me, you have taken the trouble

to travel thousands of miles.

I'm really grateful.

Cut the crap.

I don't care.

I only took this wasted trip

to repay the favor that I owed Wen Kexing.

I just want to ask you

whether you know who he is.

Yes, I do.

He is the son of Zhen Ruyu, namely Hero Zhen,

the best friend of your disciple, Rong Xuan, and my master.

He's my previously lost and recovered junior disciple

and my lifetime soul mate.

You good-for-nothing fool.

You are Qin Huaizhang's disciple,

but you have also been lied to by this brat.

Listen to me.

Wen Kexing is the current chief of the Ghost Valley.

Since all sects have got the Brochure of Ghosts,

the ghosts will have nowhere to hide.

Do you think he's hiding his identity

and following you for so long out of kindness?

But I didn't expect

that as a chevalier couple, Master Zhen and his wife

would raise such a self-depraved beast.

But it's possible

that he's not their son.

He is.

So…

You've long known that he is the chief of the Ghost Valley?

Not long enough,

but fortunately, not too late.

You have associated with that devil?

Fine.

All my life, I didn't expect

to be lied to by two brats.

Master Ye.

I didn't mean to keep it a secret.

It was after entering the Longyuan Cabinet

that I found Wen Kexing is Zhen Yan.

Anyway, he became my junior first

before he joined the Ghost Valley.

If only we had taken him back

to the Four Seasons Manor at that time,

none of this would have happened.

For whatever reason,

I can't stay out of it.

"For whatever reason"?

Ever since the Ghost Valley interfered with the martial arts world,

the bloodshed has never stopped.

Do you know how many innocent people died?

Zhou Zishu.

Right now, you can only see the brotherhood between you and him.

What about justice?

You are muddleheaded and narrow-minded.

How can you live up to Qin Huaizhang's teachings?

Master Ye, after getting along with him for a few days,

don't you already know what kind of person he is?

Although he is one of the Ghost Valley, he hasn't lost his heart.

He shouldn't be the only one held responsible for Ghost Valley's sins.

Don't you think that you're being ridiculous?

In such an evil place, Wen Kexing ascended as the chief.

But you're telling me that he still has his heart?

As the chief,

he can't escape the sins the 3,000 ghosts committed.

I pledge by the Dragon's Back

once the ghosts bring disasters to the world if one day,

I, Ye Baiyi,

will exterminate the Ghost Valley.

In that case,

bring it on, Master Ye.

Are you saying

you're going to protect him until the end?

I'm just protecting my junior.

We are brothers,

whose interests are in line with each other.

I should take half of his punishment.

I'm afraid you can't afford to bear it.

WHITE CLOTH

Do you really think I can't bear to kill you?

Don't make me draw my sword.

Master Ye.

With all due respect,

you can't enter the Four Seasons Manor today.

Not over my dead body.

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

Zhou Zishu.

For the sake of your dead master,

I'll let you live today.

If Huaizhang were still alive,

he would have definitely expelled you.

He would not let a selfish guy like you

tarnish the reputation of the Four Seasons Manor.

You don't know my master at all.

If my master were still alive today,

we would stand here together!

How stubborn!

Come on!

Wen Kexing,

I took a solemn oath.

Once the ghosts on Mount Qingya escaped the Ghost Valley,

I will destroy them.

As the chief of the Ghost Valley,

you lead a group of ghosts to commit a lot of evil deeds

which are villainous and unforgivable.

I feel sorry for your miserable life,

so you are allowed to take your own life.

That's not going to happen!

Kill me if you want!

After being killed by you, I'll turn into a devil

and fight with this damn world until the end!

All right.

You'll get what you want.

You have no right!

Ye Baiyi,

Zhen Ruyu risked his life to protect Rong Xuan.

That's how he ended up with a broken family,

my junior lost his parents at a young age

and had to go to the Ghost Valley.

Put your hand on your chest and ask yourself.

Everyone else can judge him!

But can you?

The Divine Hand Zhen Ruyu did good and accumulated merit all his life.

Countless people were saved.

Why is his only son

being treated so unfairly?

If you are in his shoes,

can you do better than him?

Is it a sin to struggle for your life?

Gratitude can't clear the debt.

My disciple and I have indeed failed the Wen family.

But I also promised to eradicate the Ghost Valley.

Today, I'll kill him.

Later,

when I eradicate the Ghost Valley

and fulfill my promise someday, I'll definitely repay him with my life.

The Ghost Valley should not exist.

The evil world is in people's hearts.

You can eradicate the Ghost Valley,

but can you eradicate the greed and filth in their hearts?

Master Ye,

you said my master would place righteousness above family loyalty.

You are wrong.

Master is sensible.

If he knew what my junior had suffered,

he would not be opinionated

and indiscriminate like you.

He would only guide my junior towards kindness

to make up for the mistake he had made.

To be honest,

you don't deserve to be my master's friend.

There's no need to think about old times.

If you want to kill,

just kill both of us.

Nature treats all things impartially.

Wen Kexing,

if you stay in the Four Seasons Manor

and learn to behave, I'll spare you.

But if I meet you again outside,

I'll definitely kill you.

Zhou Xu, are you all right?

I'm sorry,

I've always wanted to tell you.

You should feel sorry.

Wen Kexing, let me ask you something.

If I hadn't guessed what was on your mind,

what were you planning to do

when you met Ye Baiyi?

I…

I just wanted to stop him

from entering the manor.

What if you can't?

If I can't,

then I would let him kill me

rather than expose me

in front of you and Chengling.

I should take out a mirror

and show you how you look right now.

When did the handsome and charming Wen Kexing

become such a coward?

Zhou Zishu, you…

I'm badly hurt.

Aren't you going to give me a hand?

Aren't you a capable man?

Get up yourself.

I can't.

Aren't you a capable man?

Why can't you even help me up?

Zhou Xu,

answer me.

Did you intentionally send me away

and take a shortcut to stop Ye Baiyi?

What if you can't stop him?

Make a guess.

Let's go!

That hurts a lot! My shoulder is almost broken.

You did that on purpose, right?

All right, I'll be gentle.

What if Chengling sees you hurt like this?

What would you say?

I'll tell him you did it.

Zhou Xu.

BREEZE PAVILION

Are you done looking at me?

No, not yet.

It's easy to follow a bad example.

You haven't known my master for a long time.

Why are you as cheesy as him?

Mr. Wen is not like that at all.

He's a gentleman with the utmost sincerity.

Stop it.

Are you in here, Weining?

Weixu, what can I do for you?

I've got a letter for you.

I don't know if it's urgent or not,

-but I came here right away. -They send me the letter this quick?

Hasn't Mount Qingfeng been sealed off?

It's from Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wen.

Weining,

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wen are…

Friends.

They're friends of Weining.

They're not good guys.

They're always sneaky and regard being cheesy as funny.

I don't like that Weining is hanging out with them.

He might learn from bad examples.

-Please bear with him. -Gu Xiang, what are you talking about?

Weining, may I have a word with you?

Go ahead.

All right.

Let's go, Weixu.

TO CAO WEINING, DISCIPLE OF THE GENTLE WIND SWORD SECT

Weixu, what do you want to tell me?

Weining.

Do you know who Ms. Gu Xiang is?

Weixu, what do you mean?

She claims

to be a handmaid of an elder senior.

Have you met her master?

Yes, of course.

It was Gu Xiang's master

who entrusted her to me.

Who is he?

He…

Weixu,

although I know who he is,

I can't tell you.

I've promised Gu Xiang

I would never tell anyone the identity and name of her master.

But please don't worry. They are good people.

"They"?

Weining,

I know you have a deep affection for Ms. Gu Xiang

and I'm happy to see

that you've found your loved one.

But you have to know

that the world is complicated

with all kinds of people in it.

With all due respect,

these days,

I find that the way Ms. Gu Xiang talks and acts

is somehow evil.

Weixu, please mind your words.

If she did learn the martial arts from some miraculous people,

it would be normal for her temperament to be different from a noble lady.

Gu Xiang is not evil.

She is just innocent in her nature.

Weining,

if the situation is as peaceful as it used to be,

I would not be so cautious.

But now,

the Gentle Wind Sword Sect has sealed the mountain.

I shouldn't have told you,

so you wouldn't have to worry either.

I see.

Weixu.

Chief Gao entrusted the Glazed Armor to Master.

-Weining-- -Weixu.

Although I'm slow-witted,

I know that righteousness comes first.

While being wronged,

Chief Gao gave such an important thing to Master.

We, the Gentle Wind Sword Sect, sealed the mountain for it.

Even if one day, we have to risk our lives for it,

that's the responsibility we should bear.

But you're doubting a girl's innocence

just for the suspicion that came from insecurity.

I can't agree with you.

I'm not doubting her.

-I just want to know the truth. -Weixu.

Gu Xiang's life story is full of twists and turns.

Since she doesn't want to tell me, I'll respect her decision.

I've gone through

so much with her.

I swear on my life

that she is definitely a good girl.

I've chosen her

and promised her,

so I won't betray or distrust her.

Weixu.

Please respect my decision.

Master,

the herbal soup is ready.

Should I pour some for Master Wen?

I'll be cooked if you add more.

You've been so weak lately.

Of course you need more hot water.

Master, does your wound still hurt?

Where did those stinking bandits come from?

When you are better,

let's burn their house down!

It's all right.

They were all killed by Mr. Wen.

All of them.

Chengling,

grind the medicine into powder at once.

All right.

Zhou Xu.

You're really bad at lying.

What kind of bandits could wound us?

You should feel lucky that we have a foolish disciple.

I'm not as good at lying, unlike you.

You should come up with something then.

Zhou Xu.

I don't want to lie to Chengling anymore.

Stay where you are.

Stand there and listen to me.

Some words

are not easy to say when I'm looking at you.

I'm part of the reason

for Chengling's

broken family.

You're the one who wiped out the Mirror Lake Sect?

No.

Do you remember,

in spring,

there was a popular song that goes like this,

"The water from the Five Lakes gathers around the world"?

I couldn't forget it.

The second part of the song…

"The Iridescent Clouds are scattered and the Glaze is shattered.

Who will cry with the Ghosts on Mount Qingya?"

It was written by me.

I know

once I sow this seed of doubt,

the news will spread.

All those who want the armory

will focus on the Five Lakes Alliance like a fly does to blood.

But what I can't figure out is that

the armory was a decision from a group of people.

When it was time to pay the piper, where were those people?

In order to protect them,

my father brought the secret of the armory to his death

while they stayed out of it.

When my family was banished from the Healer Valley

and hunted by the martial arts world, where were they?

They could retaliate in kind.

Why couldn't I?

Wen Kexing.

All these years,

I have been living

only for revenge.

But when I regretted it,

what's done can't be undone.

Zhou Xu.

I didn't mean to keep it from you.

But even if you can forgive me,

how could I face Chengling?

Even though I didn't kill them,

they're dead because of me.

What I did to Chengling

is no different from what

the Five Lakes Alliance did to me.

Then answer me.

Do you know who exactly wiped out

the Mirror Lake Sect?

Maybe there was a traitor in the Ghost Valley

or someone trying to frame us.

-Anyway-- -Enough.

After the Great Shaman

cures me of this shitty sickness,

let's find out the truth together

and avenge the Zhang family.

When that day comes,

you can explain it to Chengling.

But

if he hates you and blames you then,

you should still accept it.

You don't want to face it.

But can you really avoid it?

Whatever your identity is,

you are still my junior.

When you're done with your bath,

make a good meal

for me and Chengling.

Life is about three meals a day.

Why do we need to worry about eternal sorrow?

Don't create trouble for ourselves.

Father,

I've got some strange news.

The maid of Wen Kexing, the Amethyst Fiend, Gu Xiang,

followed Cao Weining to Mount Qingfeng.

I sent some people to investigate this and found out

that after the Heroes Conference,

the Gentle Wind Sword Sect sealed off the mountain.

So far, no one has been seen coming in or out.

And Mo Huaiyang

has also isolated himself for half a year.

No one has seen him.

Father!

WHEN YOU ARE TRANQUIL, YOU CAN BE AT EASE

I've been writing all morning.

This is the only piece of work I am most satisfied with.

Xie'er,

you should keep this.

Father, I'm talking about something serious.

I want to go to the Gentle Wind Sword Sect for inspection.

For what?

The notice for the reopening of the Heroes Conference

has been sent all over the martial arts world.

I'm sure

that as Gao Chong's best friend, Mo Huaiyang will attend the conference.

There is no need to make a fuss at this juncture.

That's why

I have to figure things out before it starts.

Wen Kexing is quite mysterious.

Why did he send his trusted subordinate

to be with the disciple of the Gentle Wind Sword Sect?

There's something odd about it.

There's no need to investigate it.

I have long guessed that Gao Chong's three Glazed Armors

are possibly kept by Mo Huaiyang.

But

Wen Kexing was quick to realize it.

Despite Mo Huaiyang and Gao Chong's friendship,

Mo Huaiyang, who had clearly arrived at the Yueyang Sect,

left without a word before the conference commenced.

This is the first point.

Fan Huaikong attended the conference for him

but turned a blind eye to Gao Chong's death.

This is the second point.

HALL OF VIRTUE

And in the past few months,

there has been no news of the Glazed Armor.

This is the third point.

What's even more ridiculous is that as soon as he went back,

this idiot sealed off the mountain at once.

Wasn't he giving himself away?

Father.

Since you already knew it,

why didn't you tell me?

Tomorrow morning,

I will wipe out the Gentle Wind Sword Sect.

See? You're acting like this again.

You little barbarian.

Mo Huaiyang is excellent in martial arts.

We have no idea how powerful he is after ten years of seclusion.

If we are not sure,

we might wake a sleeping wolf.

I'm not going to fight him alone.

Even if he is extremely powerful,

he can't avoid being hit below the belt.

As a last resort,

I'll take a group of Drug Men

and turn the Gentle Wind Sword Sect

into a dead realm.

Xie'er,

I remember telling you

to destroy all the Drug Men.

Did you take my words

for nothing?

HALL OF VIRTUE

The Scorpion Sect lives by assassinating,

which has already been a taboo of the martial world.

What's more, you use demon tricks to control people's minds

and make the living into Drug Men as weapons.

You'll be punished by heaven for doing such unforgivable deeds!

But my demon tricks also helped you take down Gao Chong!

Father, trust me.

I'll prove myself.

Why don't you get it?

If people know

I have something to do with any demon tricks,

my reputation will be in shreds and I will be sieged by everyone!

Not to mention the position of the chief of the martial arts world.

Everything I've been working so hard for so many years

will be ruined!

You…

You finally said it.

HALL OF VIRTUE

There is no unity between father and son.

When I'm useful,

I'm your beloved son.

When I'm not,

I'll be kicked away, right?

If you think that way,

I have nothing to say.

But my dear Xie'er,

I'm warning you.

If what you have done

ruins all my hard work--

What? Are you going to kill me?

You…

All right.

Since you saved me,

you can take my life back if you want it.

You unfilial son!

Look at what's hanging around your neck.

Open your eyes and see!

I left my most precious thing to you.

How can you say something like that?

Xie'er.

You've let me down!

Get out!

It turns out

that I'm also a gambler.

How did it go?

What did Weixu tell you?

Nothing, just some matters about our sect.

Don't worry.

Did Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhou arrive at the Four Seasons Manor safely?

Yes.

What's in the letter?

Nothing. They just wanted to tell us that they have safely arrived.

-Let me see it. -No.

Why should I let you?

Don't you know that my master always acts like a lunatic

and says nothing serious?

If I show you, you'll follow the bad example.

Gu Xiang, you can't judge Mr. Wen like that.

Normal people are narrow-minded

and only look on the surface.

So they would think that Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhou

are not nice people.

But in my heart,

Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhou are both upright and free.

They are brilliant soul mates.

People misunderstand them.

All right, I'm wrong.

Weining.

You didn't tell the identities of my master and Zhou Xu

to anyone, did you?

Of course not.

I have promised you.

Besides, my masters are not laities.

They won't believe the rumors,

nor will they have any negative opinion of you.

BREEZE PAVILION

Chengling, here. Have some tea.

Thank you, Mr. Wen.

Master, it's so spicy.

Wen Kexing.

You are really mean.

You tricked me into eating spicy food a few days ago.

Since it's your tradition in Kun to play tricks on people,

why shouldn't I return the favor like this?

Do you want more?

My lord, it's nice to meet you.

Ping'an.

Is the Great Shaman here?

I'm sorry, my lord,

the Great Shaman needs a few more days.

He is trying to make you a magic medicine.

Does he have a method to cure the sickness?

I dare not guess, Master Wen.

But it should be helpful.

My master said as long as it goes well,

they should be able to arrive in time for the Spring Festival.

In such a cold winter…

I really appreciate his help.

Master Ye wrote again.

Please have a look.

TO ZISHU OF THE FOUR SEASONS MANOR

WIPE OUT THE EVIL GHOSTS TO CLEAR THE WORLD

TOKEN OF HONOR

Master, this pattern

is the Token of Honor.

Mr. Gao and Master Ye kept one respectively before.

Master Ye is leading the reopening of the Heroes Conference

to wipe out the Ghost Valley.

That's great, Master.

Can we join them?

Zhou Xu,

why are you up so late?

You've had difficulty sleeping recently, right?

Drunk Like a Dream is dried out

and can be used as medicine after being powdered.

Drunk Like a Dream in the manor

has been kept for so long

that the drug properties have worn off.

Let me help you.

Are you crazy?

Aren't you grinding medicine?

This can't cure your madness.

All right, let me clean it up for you.

How childish.

Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking.

If you ever make a decision without my knowledge again,

I'll slap you in the face!

I don't dare to.

I have long known

that there will be a battle between good and evil someday.

That's why I made Gu Xiang and the others leave.

Apart from that,

whether the righteous people are going to wipe out the Ghost Valley or not,

it has nothing to do with me.

Letting these evil ghosts and monsters perish early

will do no harm to the world.

So what are you worried about?

Zhou Xu.

How long do I have to keep this a secret from Chengling?

Since it was your doing,

I'm also responsible.

What else can we do?

Nothing but just keeping it a secret.

After I am cured,

we'll find the killer who wiped out the Mirror Lake Sect

and then confess to Chengling together.

We're in the same boat anyway

and we can't leave each other.

However, why has my Chief Wen,

who was once a merciless man,

suddenly become so sentimental?

You're even feeling sorry for keeping a secret from a kid.

You lied to me for so long.

How would you explain this?

Zhou Xu, you are really good at grinding medicine.

I feel sleepy as soon as I smell it. I'm going to bed.

-You should rest early too. -You should smell it more then!

Don't stay up too late!

For the chief of evil ghosts,

once he finds the way back to the human world,

he'll become human again.

An ordinary and sentimental man

will yearn for days without secrets and haze

and hope that there will be someone

to accompany him forever.
