[Twelve Legends]

[Episode 04]

I don't want to talk to you,

but besides you, I don't have a choice.

Let me ask you.

Does everyone else address you as Little Stone just like me?

Why would you ask about this?

I've been thinking.

You're all grown up now.

I've always called you Little Stone

instead of a proper name.

My name is Jin Xingjian.

Do you know Yu Shaobai?

How did you find out about him?

Who is he?

That doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter?

If he doesn't matter to me, why did I suddenly dream of him?

What did you dream of?

I don't remember exactly what I dreamed of.

I only remember...

that he had a strange gaze.

In that dream, did he tell you anything?

What do you think he would say?

Little Stone,

are you hiding something from me?

Don't mind

what an irrelevant person told you.

Hurry up and eat.

Little Stone!

Why are you leaving in a rush?

Who is Yu Shaobai?

What exactly are you hiding from me?

It's fine if you don't wish to tell me. Let me out!

Little Stone!

Little Stone! Let me out!

You brought food to the old demon again?

Did you say anything to Ye Ming?

Did I?

If I had a chance to talk to the old demon, would I have let her live?

You really haven't met Ye Ming so far?

What's wrong?

Has it awakened?

Awakened?

Hasn't she awakened a long time ago?

Who was it? Who did you say had awakened?

Brother!

Na Na, next time, can you be more genteel like a proper lady?

I missed you, that's why.

Are you sure you missed me?

I think it's because you miss our Brother Jin.

Has Brother Jin visited lately?

Brother Jin has been busy lately.

He didn't have the time to visit.

True. Mr. Jin runs a big business.

Unlike you, a small tailor who stays in his shop all day.

A small tailor?

Your brother studied in Britain, the U.S., and France.

Even the British royal family's clothes are made by me.

My artistic accomplishment is widely recognized by people all over the world.

Are you calling an accomplished artist like me a "small tailor"?

How can Mr. Jin be so handsome?

He just needs to stand there and he exudes charm.

He's unlike someone, who emanates Chanel No. 5.

What is on that little brain of yours all day?

It's none of your business.

Women of the new era like us must love and hate as we want.

Women of the new era, who love and hate as you want?

I've never seen a woman who drools over a man.

What do you know?

New era women like us must be able to express our feelings boldly

and pursue the people we like.

It's pointless for you to express your feelings.

He already has a girlfriend.

Moreover, he came and asked me to make dresses for his girlfriend.

So what if he did?

They aren't married to each other.

They haven't exchanged vows.

Who knows who the handsome man will end up with?

Ye Lina, I'm telling you.

You're trying to steal a man from his lover.

It's a disgrace to our family.

Brother, I just want to get to know him.

Didn't you always say you two were very close?

Doesn't he appreciate your artistic accomplishment?

You two are soulmates

who have an appreciation for each other's skills.

Stop it.

A small tailor like me doesn't deserve such a fancy description.

Great artist. Great artist, all right?

- What did you call me? - Great artist.

My good and dear brother, help me, please.

Why would I have this kind of sister?

- Fine. - Let's not wait. Go.

Now? Wait.

Sir, I'm back.

What's wrong?

A lady... who's from my hometown...

came here with me to seek refuge.

She was originally performing at a theatre.

Recently, she finally met a kind person

who's said to be an official with the new government.

I had yet to congratulate her, when Bai Jingang noticed her.

Bai Jingang killed that official.

Then, he raped her.

Now the lady lost the position as the leading lady

and can only spend the days pitifully in a brothel.

Bai Jingang is the deputy chief of the police bureau.

But in fact, he's the most powerful rogue leader of Qinggang.

They say he's backed by the British.

That's why he commits all sorts of atrocities.

What's more, this morning, he even...

He even came and looked for you.

I should've beaten him up at that time.

However, I didn't dare to.

- Why did he look for me? - He asked you to make a stamp for him.

He said it's a birthday gift for Commander Duan.

Where is the stamp stone he prepared?

I threw it in the garden.

Pick it up.

Sir, this...

Retrieve it.

Sir, this is the one.

Bring it to my study.

Brother Jin, I saw that your door was opened. So I walked in directly.

Did anything happen here just now?

No.

- That's good. That's good. - Brother.

Brother Ye, what brought you here today?

Actually, I'm here today not for any particular reason.

I... Actually,

I'm mainly here... to look at this chest of yours.

That chest is quite nice. Why didn't I see it last time?

I'll take a look.

Mr. Jin,

last time, you said you were going to make a set of clothes according to my size.

Mr. Jin, have you forgotten?

When you visited my brother's shop, you pointed at me and said

you wanted to make a set of clothes according to my size.

She's my sister, Ye Lina.

You can call me Lina.

Hi.

Brother Ye, I told you the set of clothes had to be longer,

other than tighter around the waist. You didn't forget, did you?

With my skills, you don't have to worry.

So, Mr. Jin, is your friend taller than me?

How tall is she? Is she this tall? This tall?

She has a smaller waist than me, does she?

How tight does the outfit have to be around the waist?

You can use me as a model.

Mr. Jin, no need to be shy. I'm a woman of the new era.

No need to feel embarrassed. Let me show you.

Just estimate using my figure.

What are you doing?

People say Mr. Jin is a gentleman.

After meeting you in person, you live up to your reputation.

Ms. Ye and Brother Ye, I still have work to do.

I'll get going.

Mr. Jin! In the future, if you need my help,

- Xiao Pi, see our guests off. - Just call me! I'll be right here!

Brother Jin has been in seclusion for days. Understandably, he's tired.

- See you next time. - We'll make a move first.

I haven't finished talking yet. Mr. Jin!

- We'll visit again on another day. - All right, that's enough.

- Brother. - You've given up now, right?

Stop coming here whenever you want.

My goodness, Brother.

Such a person really exists in the world.

All he does is stand there and it's as if he's glowing.

It reminds me of a deity who descended to the mortal world.

I finally know why you adore him so much.

Brother, if I were you,

I'd move my shop straight to Hua Xue Gallery

and stay by his side every day for the rest of my life.

Stop right there.

Both of us are soulmates and best friends.

I know. I'm just citing an example.

Anyway, from today onwards, I'll stay at your place.

Why?

Just now, I said I'd visit him on another day.

I have to keep my promise.

Na Na, I'm begging you.

Stop causing trouble, all right?

Brother, are you worried that Mr. Jin will take your sister away from you?

I wish someone would come and take you away right now,

not Mr. Jin, though.

Brother, think about it.

In the future, your best friend will be your brother-in-law.

Isn't that great?

Is that girl still sane?

Brother, would you like a cup of coffee?

Coming.

Just now, Bai Jingang said they found the fugitive of Dengyun Tower's case.

In the future, I won't have to stay away from the public.

You should leave then.

She's awake. Where should I go?

It's up to you.

If I wish to kill her,

I have to get past your enchantment, right?

No. I agreed not to kill her for now.

Brother Jin, I have good news for you.

We have news about your stamp.

I think it's

the one you lost.

Thank you, Brother Jia.

Sorry to trouble you.

However, Young Master Zhang said

he'd only return it to the owner in person.

All right.

Have you found another stamp?

I need to make a trip to Beiping.

I thought you wouldn't come.

I won't hold a grudge against you.

You wouldn't.

You're just afraid of answering my questions.

I am here to tell you

that I have to make a trip to Beiping.

Will you keep imprisoning me here?

I'll ask someone to bring your favorite foods.

Take care.

Little Stone,

do you still like me?

I mean the feelings

beyond siblings.

Come on, let's eat.

You set the woods of our neighbor, Young Master Zhang, on fire.

You have no right to sulk. Why did you do that?

It's because he likes you.

So what if he does?

I won't allow him to like you.

Anyone else, be it a human or a demon, is not allowed to like you.

Little Stone, you're just a kid. What nonsense are you talking about all day?

I'm growing up.

When I become a man, I'll protect you.

I remember when you were a kid, you disliked our neighbor, Young Master Zhang.

Just because he said he liked me,

you set his woodshed on fire.

One day,

if I really meet a person I love,

what are you going to do?

I was still young back then and I was ignorant.

You were young yet you did such a thing.

Right now, are you capable of doing even scarier things?

If you really met someone you love,

whom you can depend on for the rest of your life,

you'll have my best wishes.

Seriously?

It's up to you whether you believe it or not.

Little Stone!

Wait for me to come back.

When you're back, either release me

or give me a valid reason

of why you won't let me go.

Do you hear me?

Four stamps?

I have to accompany you to Beiping.

You're not as capable as before.

I'll leave the stamps in your care.

Another thing.

Take good care of Ye Ming for me.

Aren't you worried that I'll kill her?

You won't.

Besides, you're the only person left whom I can depend on.

You even use Ye Ming as a stake to bet on our brotherhood.

Regardless of what you think, I just want Ye Ming to be safe.

Stupid Stone.

I don't understand. Do you have to do this over a woman?

Isn't it great for you to live as a stamp-making gentleman in Shanghai and drink coffee in leisure?

Why do you put so much effort into her?

You can blame me.

She can be upset with me.

I just want her to be safe.

Fine.

It's my fault, all right?

If it wasn't because I lost Yu Shaobai's portrait ten years ago,

it wouldn't have created so much trouble.

I promise you that I won't kill her.

However, it's only for the time being.

All right.

Braised Butter Pigeon from Mirador Restaurant is her favorite.

Buy it for her.

Remember, it's tasty while it's hot.

Also, she seems to be in a bad mood lately.

- So– - Wait a minute.

Are you telling me to monitor her or serve her?

You're too much.

One last thing.

Mind what you say to her.

Rascal.

Mr. Wang.

- After you. - Okay.

After you.

Long time no see.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Greetings.

Your house is not bad at all.

Look.

That's good.

Commander, best wishes...

on your birthday!

That's good!

Commander, please accept it.

Commander, just a small gift.

Commander, here's our gift to you.

It's a token of appreciation.

I knew it would be you.

Liang, your gift is too great.

Commander, it's your birthday.

You're a great figure, to begin with.

Our small gift is just the icing on the cake.

It's nothing.

Mrs. Liang, you're very good with words.

I like it.

Where is your gift?

What is this?

This is a stamp for the commander made by Jin Xingjian.

Mr. Bai, I have to congratulate you beforehand.

Why?

Mr. Bai, once you give the gift,

it'll be the center of attention.

I'd rather not be.

The commander likes to collect stamps.

Yours is very valuable.

Even the president might not be able to get one.

You even managed to find such a precious item.

Just wait to be promoted and become wealthy.

Why are the two of you

laughing so happily?

Commander, I've also brought you a gift.

A gift?

For the uninitiated,

it might be

an urn with gold trimming.

Touch wood. Touch wood.

Commander, this is a very precious gift.

When I came in just now, all of them wanted to take a look,

but I didn't allow them to do so, fearing that they might break it.

What kind of gift is this?

This gift...

is a stamp made by Jin Xingjian!

Then I must take a look.

That's very rare.

You really got him to make a stamp?

Commander, you're very well-known.

Making a stamp for you is his honor.

I purposely asked him

to put effort into the stamp's content.

That's good. That's good.

So...

Who are you?

Commander!

I'm the deputy chief of the Shanghai Police Bureau,

Bai Jingang.

Mr. Bai, you're too kind.

All right.

It seems that today all of you are fortunate to witness it.

Vice Officer Li.

Get the stationery ready.

I'm going to share the master's work

with my fellow colleagues!

Great!

We'll have a chance to witness it.

Great!

I agree. It's a rare opportunity.

Humanity, justice, manners, wisdom, trustworthiness.

Loyalty, filial piety,

kindness, courage...

A character is missing.

That's right.

Where is the character of "shame"?

Pistol!

Commander! It is your birthday today.

Don't be angry.

Commander!

Commander, I can explain!

What is there to explain?

You are calling me shameless!

Scram!

It's frightening.

Sir!

Are you going out?

I'm going to Beiping today.

Take good care of the house.

I understand.

Sir, take care on your way there.

If anyone causes trouble while I'm away,

just ask for Mr. Ye, next door, for help.

Trouble?

What kind of trouble will there be?

Ms. Li, look.

This kind of pattern should go with this material

to truly shine.

You know me best.

I'm flattered.

Bring Ms. Li there to get her measurements.

- Sure. - All right. This way, please.

Greetings.

Brother, use your professional judgment and tell me.

How is my outfit?

Your outfit... is great.

Where are you going dressed like this?

I'm going to visit Mr. Jin.

Again?

Na Na, even if you're shameless,

your brother still has an image to uphold. Right?

It isn't as if I'm going to disturb him.

I'm going to invite Mr. Jin to a play.

That play's tickets are really hard to buy.

I'm sure Mr. Jin will like it a lot.

Besides, a relationship has to be slowly cultivated.

Go ahead.

Let's see what you will get to cultivate in the end.

All right.

I'll get going.

Are you really going?

Na Na! Na Na!

Na Na!

Ye Lina!

What did I tell you?

Stop bothering Mr. Jin.

If you keep doing this, how am I going to face him in the future?

I'm not bothering him.

I'm courting him.

Ms. Ye. Mr. Ye.

Is Mr. Jin around?

No, he's not.

I really have something serious to talk to Mr. Jin about.

He went to Beiping.

See?

Mr. Jin even went to Beiping in order to avoid you.

Stop causing trouble. Come home with me.

Mr. Jin really went to Beiping?

That's right. He just left.

He just left?

Driver!

Na Na, where are you going?

I'm going to Beiping.

What?

You're really going to Beiping?

I suddenly remembered that I have a school reunion in Beiping.

I'm leaving.

Na Na!

- There is a limit to mischief. - To the train station, please.

Ye Lina!

Mr. Jin, are you also going to Beiping?

Ms. Ye.

My goodness. What a coincidence.

I'm also going to Beiping.

I'm going there to attend my classmates' gathering.

Mr. Jin, you don't mind me sharing the compartment with you. Right?

Mr. Jin, have you been to Beiping before this?

I'm very familiar with that place.

Be it dining, entertainment, or shopping,

I know all of it.

I can bring you around.

Talking about food, when we're in Beiping,

having roasted duck is a must.

It's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smells heavenly.

There's also Mount Xiang in Beiping.

Mount Xiang is a fun place.

On the mountain, you can see endless red foliage.

Shanghai doesn't have that kind of scenery.

Mr. Jin, do you enjoy watching movies?

A grand cinema seemed to have opened in Beiping recently.

It can accommodate lots of people.

Moreover, recently, a few foreign films are about to be screened.

So, we can also watch movies together.

After watching a movie, I'll treat you to delicious food.

Beiping has some great delicacies.

It's nothing serious.

He should be fine in a few days.

Dear, this...

Why are you crying?

I'm still alive!

Cousin, I heard you were tricked by that stamp maker

and you embarrassed yourself before Commander Duan.

Is it true?

Are you blind? Can't you tell?

What happened to your ear?

I was shot by Commander Duan.

No matter who he is,

no one can harm my cousin.

I'm going to get rid of Jin right now.

Come back!

All of you may go.

I said you're reckless, yet you never admitted it.

Can you use your brain before doing anything?

If Jin could be removed so easily,

would I have waited for you to act?

No matter, Jin Xingjian is just that.

He's a human.

Is it so difficult to teach him a lesson?

You have no idea.

That Jin Xingjian has quite a mysterious background.

Moreover, he has a lot of friends.

Those who offended him lost all standing and reputation.

I still don't know his true capabilities.

Cousin, are we going to suffer in silence then?

I won't let this slide.

After the incident, I've since liaised with many people.

Although I did spend a small fortune,

the commander finally agreed not to spread the news.

What I have to do now is to find a valid reason

to get rid of Jin.

A valid reason?

If you ask me,

you have been an official for too long.

Why are you so cautious nowadays?

If this happened back when we were in Qinggang,

would we need any reason to get rid of a person?

You're right.

We from Qinggang never need a reason to do anything.

Go on... and give Jin Xingjian a gift

on my behalf.

Yes, Cousin.

Back when we were in university,

all the classmates liked ballroom dancing.

Speaking of the best dancers,

it would be me and Zhenni.

Do you want a candy?

No, thank you.

In fact, I don't really like candy either.

However, Japanese candy does indeed taste better than normal candy.

Not only is it tasty, look...

even the wrapper is beautiful.

Whenever a friend gives me candy,

I usually keep the wrapper.

I didn't like candy when I was a kid.

However, other kids wouldn't move once they saw candy.

I prefer cakes.

The sweeter, the better.

Don't you think it's strange?

Each time my father or my brother gave me candy,

I'd keep the wrapper...

and fold it into a paper crane,

a little boat or a little rose.

This is for you, Mr. Jin.

Thank you.

My father and brother buy a lot of pretty-looking candy for me.

My room is like a candy empire

which is colorful and mesmerizing.

Even my brother complimented it.

He kept asking to move to my room and share it with me.

He ended up being dragged away by my father and given a beating.

With a female companion, whose face resembles...

Read this character.

What is this character?

I've taught you countless times, yet you don't remember.

I recite passages from the book to you every day,

as if I'm playing the lute to a cow.

Young Master Zhang is much smarter than you.

It only took him about two weeks to learn the Classic of Poetry.

What's the book? What is that?

It's the Classic of Poetry, the book we're currently reading.

Why are we reading it?

Other than eating, the only thing you do is sleeping.

Open your mouth.

If you don't study well, I won't give it to you.

Is it sweet?

Remember, in the future, for each word you learn,

I'll give you candy, all right?

I only want to eat candy.

I don't want to study.

What a kid.

Why is there a little bird here?

Mr. Jin, open the window.

Look. Look at how happy it is after flying out.

The sky is its home.

Look at how carefree it is. It's great.

Mr. Jin, once we arrive in Beiping, where are you going to stay?

I'll meet up with a friend and stay at his house.

Then, you can tell me the address. When I have the time,

I'll look for you. I know Beiping very well.

I can be your guide.

It's all right.

In Beiping, I'll be able to find you anyway. It isn't difficult.

Who are you?

I kept looking at that old demon and forgot about the enchantment.

Don't you remember me?

I'm the demon hunter you're most afraid of.

You're a demon hunter?

A demon hunter who hunts for demons ever since I was born. I'm Lian Xuan.

Is Jin Xingjian gone?

He pleaded with me to bring you food. Now I've brought you the food.

Goodbye.

Don't make things difficult for me.

I did not kill you because of him.

I wonder how long that's going to last.

The more I look at you, the more I wish to kill you, you know?

You're a demon hunter, yet you're wary of him.

It seems you two have an unusual relationship.

What does it have to do with you?

Wait.

No. What are you doing?

You seem to be very bored. Do you want me to chat with you?

You want to chat with me?

I'm a demon hunter. Do I need to chat with a demon?

I'll take the initiative instead, all right?

No way! Why should I?

I'm happy if you're bored to death.

Don't go! Don't go!

You...

[Yongding Gate Station]

Come on, I'll give you a hand. I'd been waiting for this day since getting your letter.

- Over here. - All of you finally came.

- Yan Yan! Over here! - Zhenni.

Na Na!

- I missed you. - You didn't even inform me beforehand.

Luckily, Brother Qing Chun told me.

- Why? Not happy to see me? - How is that possible?

Oh, right. This is Mr. Jin.

Ms. Ye, I'll bid you farewell here.

You take care.

Not bad. Who is this?

- He's so handsome. - Come on, let's go.

Tell me.

My Lord, Mr. Jin is here.

That quick?

Mr. Jin, I'll do it.

Brother Jin, I didn't expect you to reach me so soon.

It must have been a tiring journey. Thank you for coming.

Lai Fu, hurry and send it to Brother Jin's room.

Your mansion has become smaller after each move.

A mansion is just a place to sleep.

Moreover, you can find a mansion anytime, but antiques are hard to come by.

Using an old mansion to exchange for a few novel objects is worth it.

Oh, right. Let me show you the precious items I recently acquired.

Let's go.

I'm really sorry. I just moved here. So I haven't finished cleaning up yet.

Have a seat.

Don't worry though. I've cleaned up your chamber.

This.

Brother Jin, look.

Brother Jia, about the stamp...

The stamp is with the Zhang family of Yongqing.

It's quite far from here. I'll take you there later.

Brother Jin, although we haven't known each other for long,

the last time I heard,

you even forgot how you lost your stamp.

Here you go.

I was told the second son of Yongqing's Zhang family

also likes to collect antiques.

He collects the works of great carvers of all eras.

When I told him the stamp was your creation,

he insisted on meeting you before agreeing to return it.

We hadn't seen each other for a year.

Now you're like a fairy who descended to the mortal world.

If I were a boy, I'd surely fall in love with you.

You keep teasing me.

We grew up together. I'm not as beautiful as you.

Who is teasing you? I'm serious.

Look at you.

You have a pretty face with skin...

Skin like suet.

- You mean flawless skin. - Is that the word?

It's the same meaning.

Now you're no longer the skinny little girl with sallow skin.

Done.

You'll definitely be the prettiest girl at the school reunion party tonight.

Enough. You've helped me to choose for hours.

- I'll help you to choose, too. - Sure.

No, I'm going to wear this.

- This one is nice. Wear this. - Is that so?

[Yu Shaobai]

If this is how you're going to read, when are you going to finish it?

I read to attend the imperial examination.

I'm doing so...

so that you'll have a comfortable life.

The more I look at you, the more motivated I am.

This guy.

Stop making me smile with these words.

With you by my side, I have no regrets

even if it means living a simple life.

Why are you sitting for the imperial examination?

I'm doing it so that I can save the world.

Ye Ming, whether I become a wealthy official

or a poor person for the rest of my life,

I'll be content as long as I'm with you.

Come out and make things clear.

What exactly happened?

Am I really your lover?

You can ask Jin Xingjian if you want.

I'm asking you.

True.

Jin Xingjian will never tell you.

After all, it's because of him

that both of us got into this state.

Although Little Stone is mischievous,

he'd never hurt me.

Do you really know him?

You said you're my lover,

but why can't I remember anything?

Ye Ming,

we've been together since 1,000 years ago.

We were very much in love,

but Jin Xingjian...

kept wanting to separate us.

Look... Isn't he keeping you

as a pet for his pleasure?

Ye Ming, I really miss you a lot.
