[Episode 2]

Turns out it's Mr. Zhuomo.

Nice to meet you.

As if.

You are the Golden-Mouthed King Yan

and I'm the Eloquent Zhuomo.

You don't talk much,

while I

can annoy everyone by just talking.

We have nothing in common,

so skip the pleasantries.

Nice to meet me, huh?

Anyway, you won't defeat me

even if you outnumber me.

Why don't we

go our separate ways?

I sincerely bid you farewell.

Is he one of the Eight Young Masters

you mentioned?

Yes, the Eloquent Zhuomo.

A chatterbox, indeed.

Gentlemen,

I can hear you.

Nice to...

Don't start that again.

You say it's nice to meet me,

but deep down,

you think otherwise.

Can you be more sincere?

I know

you must be thinking,

"Why am I so unlucky

to run into the best young genius

of the Lei Clan

and among the Eight Young Masters,

the one

who's most difficult to deal with, Mr. Zhuomo?"

And that's me.

It's either you forgot

to check whether today is a lucky day,

or forgot to make offerings last year to your late father to be blessed.

Everything that happens in this world

is unpredictable.

Now that you met me,

woe is yours.

Shut your trap!

[Donggui Tavern]

The Striking Touch of the Lei Clan is indeed powerful.

The Striking Touch

consists of three moves.

That was called No Separation.

The second move

is No Return.

[Burial]

Second Young Master,

someone came too.

Lei.

Him?

He does know how to find trouble.

I just told Su Muyu

that I didn't want them to come.

Second Young Master,

do we

stand a chance?

Whether or not we have a chance

depends on...

how determined we are.

Here's the third move,

Strike!

I have a question.

What's it?

Do all martial artists

give introductions

when they are fighting?

Lei Mengsha.

You are indeed impressive.

But you are alone,

if we join hands, can you handle all of us?

Who says he's on his own?

[Donggui Tavern]

I'm Mr. Qingge, Luo Xuan.

[Luo Xuan, Mr. Qingge of the Eight Young Masters of Beili]

Mr. Qingge, Luo Xuan?

Well, well.

What brings you here?

Is it that you are the only one

who's allowed to come here?

Mr. Qingge?

The Young Master of Elegance among the Eight Young Masters.

It's said that his appearance

is always accompanied by an elegant tune

or falling flower petals.

I used to think

they were exaggerating.

But seeing him today,

I can't believe

there is such a...

Such a pretentious person.

What are you waiting for? Run!

Going after them?

You have to defeat me.

Wait.

What is all this?

Where are you taking us to?

Xiruo Temple is right ahead.

What do I call you?

Bai Dongjun.

Sikong Changfeng.

Well,

do scouts nowadays

give themselves such nice names?

Tell me.

Have you gathered any news?

What news?

Aren't you the scouts

sent to Chaisang City by Ruofeng?

Tell me

what you have found here.

[A few days earlier] Liu Yue and Xiaohei

are on another mission.

Sneak into Chaisang City,

and you will meet

my scouts

there.

Um, Lei,

there might be

some understanding.

[Xiruo Temple]

So

you were out of your mind

and wanted to make a name for yourself.

Hence, you stole

a deed from your home

and came all the way here

to run a tavern to sell your liquor.

To be more accurate,

I'm a brewmaster.

And you,

do you happen to be

a parentless wanderer

in the martial arts world

who happens to come to Chaisang City

and ends up helping out in his tavern

because he provides you with free liquor,

and then becomes a freeloader there?

You can put it that way.

But can you use

a more delicate way to say this?

Oh my.

What's wrong with me?

I thought both of you

were sent by Ruofeng to support me.

Yet you are just

passersby.

Why did I

waste my time

and the identity I worked so hard

to disguise myself with

to save you?

I'm going crazy.

Well, Lei,

don't go crazy just yet. Don't be sad either.

If you need any help,

we can...

Help?

With your smattering of martial arts?

How?

Someone's outside.

What took you so long?

Did you get rusty

for not fighting in a while?

Just shut up

if you have nothing important to say.

How can you talk to your senior like this,

Xuan?

Tell me.

Why are you here?

Not just me.

Changhe?

[Su Changhe, Undertaker, Dark River]

What brings you here?

I just swung by...

Changhe.

Your biggest problem

is that you are too boring.

I shouldn't have come to you

since I'm here for a show.

A show?

Exactly.

I have a feeling

that there will be a great show

in Chaisang City.

Maybe I will have the chance

to meet those legendary

talented boys.

Thanks.

So what's going on now?

What has happened to Gu Jianmen?

Isn't he going

to get married soon?

Why are you all

so gloomy?

In Xinan Circuit,

there are two powerful noble families,

the Gu family who runs the bank in Chaisang City,

and the Yan family, who owns the jade shop in Kaiyang City.

Half a month ago,

Gu Luoli, the first young master of the Gu family,

died suddenly in Babie City,

which is three hundred li from Chaisang City.

Since then, there are only two people

who are capable of leading

the Gu family.

That's Guo Luoli's youngest uncle,

Fifth Master Gu,

and

Gu Luoli's younger brother,

who's the third young master among us,

Gu Jianmen.

Sikong Changfeng

has told me about that.

He...

We are in the middle of nowhere.

Where did he get all those things?

No need to ask.

He's just being pretentious.

Less than three days after Gu Luoli's passing,

Fifth Master Gu

used his identity as his uncle

to arrange a marriage for him.

And the bride

is the young lady of the Yan family, Yan Liuli.

She was the one

who sat in the carriage earlier today.

Her elder brother

is the master of the Yan family.

It's the one

you drank with

in the tavern,

Yan Bietian.

So this is how the marriage

came to be.

In other words,

the first young master of the Gu family

didn't die naturally.

The Yan family and Fifth Master Gu

joined hands to kill him

and intend to use this marriage

to completely control

the Gu family who lost their master.

In that case,

the Gu family will fall

under the thumb of the Yan family.

What does this

benefit Fifth Master Gu?

What a surprise.

You actually

have a profound understanding

about the filthiness

of human nature at such a young age.

That's right.

While Fifth Master Gu

is regarded as an uncle in the Gu family,

but he has no real power.

So he has been unsatisfied all this time.

Once this plan succeeds

and he becomes the master of the Gu family,

it doesn't matter

if the Gu family falls off the top place

in Xinan Circuit.

No wonder I find this city so weird.

That means the surroundings of the Gu's Mansion,

no,

the entire Gu's Mansion

has already been controlled by the Yan family.

It's almost.

Almost all of it is controlled by the Yan family.

It wasn't until you appeared

in Longshou Street.

That's why

the Yan family

finds you very suspicious.

Not at all.

I came here on a whim.

There's one more thing.

Go ahead.

Over there...

A female ghost is coming.

Someone saved them?

Yes. Pardon my incompetence.

You are not to blame.

Two out of the Eight Young Masters came.

Needless to say, you are no match for them.

Did you learn sarcasm

from me?

Since you already know who she is,

why did you call her a ghost?

Who's she?

Miss Yan.

Mr. Qingge, Mr. Zhuomo.

A pleasure to meet you for the first time.

Actually, it's not the first time.

We met you several times

while escorting you all the way.

You were the young lady

in the carriage earlier today?

You are the owner of the tavern?

You are still alive?

I have great generosity,

so I won't argue with you.

Ruofeng told me

he invited a key person over.

I didn't expect it to be you.

Please have a seat.

I wonder what your intention is, Miss Yan?

You allowed your men

to attack us during the day.

And now you have come here

to meet us secretly?

That's a good question.

Because...

I love him.

Who do you love?

Oh my.

That's news.

You are indeed in love with Gu Jianmen.

So your family

killed Gu Luoli

to make your marriage

with Gu Jianmen happen.

Are you insane?

Or is the entire Yan family insane?

I think you are insane.

Will you shut up?

The man you love

should be Gu Luoli, the first young master

of the Gu family,

who died a few days ago.

I guess I'm right.

Yes.

I love Gu Luoli.

But no one knows.

My brother wants to use my marriage

to control the entire Gu family.

He killed my beloved

and intends to use me as a pawn in his scheme.

So

you entered this situation intentionally

to break it, right?

Yes.

On the wedding day,

I will not

marry Gu Jianmen.

The man I will marry...

can only be Gu Luoli.

No offense,

but he's dead.

So what?

I still love him.

Miss Yan,

what do you need us

to do?

Kidnap me during the wedding.

- Kidnap you during the wedding? - Kidnap you during the wedding?

Soon,

your friends will go and seize

something very important.

You will bring that thing

to kidnap me.

Then,

prepare yourselves for some killings.

By the way,

you need to remember this.

The mastermind

is never my brother

but...

me.

To be honest, that's a bit scary.

Do you expect

a resentful woman

to act normally?

Oh, right.

I have an intuition

that behind my brother,

there is another force.

It is

a much stronger force.

[Xiruo Temple]

What?

You want to kidnap the bride?

You went to look

for a suitable candidate yesterday, didn't you?

Everyone knows

the Eight Young Masters of Beili,

so it's inconvenient for you to act personally.

As for other candidates,

there are only a few people who are capable

and willing to help.

Besides,

it's not good

to get innocent people involved.

If that's the case,

let me try.

Sir...

Why?

I did think before

about seeking your help.

I even

had reasons ready

to convince you.

Nevertheless, as you said,

I haven't decided

to get innocent people

involved.

Whether or not I want to get involved in this,

I'm already in the game.

I want to hear

your real thoughts.

To become famous all over the world.

What?

I want to become

famous all over the world.

[A year earlier]

[Gu Chen, Scholarly Deity]

Mr. Gu, you have a guest.

Would you like to invite me in?

Sure.

[Yueyao, Sky's Beyond]

What do you think, sir?

She's a fairy.

♪With a glimpse♪

I thought it was just a guest.

To my surprise,

it's a guest from Sky's Beyond.

Do you recognize me, sir?

You have the same eyes

as your mother's.

Turns out you are my mother's acquaintance.

If so, sir,

please offer some help to Beique.

I know

why you came here.

However, I have retired from earthly affairs.

Please leave.

The fairy is looking at me.

Dongjun,

wake up.

I felt intoxicated

by her eyes.

Silly boy.

You are embarrassing me.

Miss Fairy,

what's your name?

Maybe you should answer me first.

What's your name?

I'm Dongjun.

Dongjun?

Dongjun, the Lord of Spring, wears a jade pendant

which emits soothing clinking.

His ride crosses and brushes against the tips of willow trees.

The mortal world and paradise are thousands of li apart.

The spring breeze has yet to arrive.

This is a great name.

Dongjun, the Lord of Spring, wears a jade pendant

which emits soothing clinking.

His ride crosses and brushes against the tip of willow trees.

Are you leaving, Miss Fairy?

You haven't told me your name yet.

How can I find you in the future?

Perhaps I will come to you one day.

When you become famous all over the world

and everyone knows

where you are,

I will come to you.

Boys will be boys.

Are you mocking me?

No.

I'm praising you.

Is he

being sarcastic?

He's insane.

To be honest,

why do you think

you will become famous

after kidnapping the bride?

Because this isn't

an ordinary marriage.

As Miss Yan said last night,

this marriage

is an ascension ceremony of Xinan Circuit.

Since I have offended the Yan family,

serving my liquor

at the wedding to make my name

surely wouldn't work.

I might as well take the chance

to openly

interrupt this marriage.

By then,

all the guests

will watch me descend

like a heavenly warrior

and be impressed

by my gallantry.

Sir,

that's too much.

So you are doing this

for a lady.

Any problem with that?

Haven't you thought

that she would be angry

when she finds out

you kidnap a bride?

What's there to fear?

The Eight Young Masters will be my witnesses.

Aren't you going?

I do this out of loyalty.

You are going, right?

Aren't they going?

I think they are.

Have a look at the flowers.

[Qingsong Inn] They are freshly plucked today.

Young Lady,

it's me.

Come in.

Young Lady.

What have you found?

The Yan family

has agreed with our request.

To show their sincerity in the collaboration,

they will deliver that thing

to the place we asked for.

With that thing,

once we put the Yan family

in power,

Xinan Circuit will be completely under our control.

[Yan]

Move aside!

I won't.

[Lingsu, maidservant]

State your name.

Do you know

I'm from the Yan family of Xinan Circuit?

Have you thought

about how you will end up if you offend us?

What a coincidence.

We are looking for the Yan family.

Tell them

to leave the thing here

and I will spare their lives.

Did you hear that?

My young master said

the Yan family of Xinan Circuit was nothing to fear.

Leave what's in the carriage here

and you will be spared.

I didn't say the first half.

Young Master, I know

that's what you wanted to say.

Such audacity!

Who is he?

My young master...

Don't waste your breath on them.

Go

and beat them up.

Let me finish, Young Master.

Did you hear that?

My young master asked me

not to waste my breath on you

and to beat you all up.

How dare you!

Make way.

Young Master!

Accompanied by beauties, with a maidservant lighting the lantern.

Murdering and burning while always wearing a gold belt.

You are Liu Yue, one of the Eight Young Masters.

Words have it that you are peerlessly handsome.

And that's why

you don't like others starring at your face

and you always travel in a sedan chair

to avoid showing your countenance.

I see that's true.

Young Master, what now?

They recognized you.

I have told you

there is no need to use the sedan chair.

That's too obvious.

I didn't intend

for others to recognize me,

but they

figured it out right away.

It seems

I'm really famous.

True though.

That's right.

We are acclaimed

as the peerlessly handsome Mr. Liuyue in the Young Master Rankings.

It's me,

not us.

[Liu Yue, Mr. Liuyue of the Eight Young Masters of Beili]

Then let me see how capable you are,

one of the Eight Young Masters.

That's weak.

He's beaten with only a strike.

Still not coming up to help?

This is a beautiful sword.

Is it?

Can it match

the peerless Mr. Liuyue?

A human is not a weapon.

They shouldn't be compared with each other.

May I ask the name of the sword's owner?

[Mo Qixuan, White-Haired Deity,] White-Haired Deity.

[Sky's Beyond]

What an interesting name.

My sword is renowned for its beauty.

If this beautiful sword

can slay the famous Mr. Liuyue...

would that be interesting too?

Do you have the confidence to kill me?

It's tricky.

But I want to give it a try.

Many people wanted to try,

but I'm still sitting here.

Is that so?

Young Master, more people showed up.

I've sensed that.

I underestimated them.

Before killing you,

I wonder if I could make this request.

Say it.

I want to see your face.

Everyone regards fair and white as beautiful,

yet he is in all black.

Everyone admires beautiful things,

but he prefers the opposite.

You are

Mr. Mochen,

Mo Xiaohei.

[Mo Xiaohe, Mr. Mochen of the Eight Young Masters of Beili]

Let me ask you this.

Do you think the kidnapping mission is dangerous?

Of course, it's dangerous.

If you ask me,

you shouldn't get involved in this.

So I'll take your answer as yes.

Anyway, I need to prepare

in case things turn out otherwise.

Miss Yan

is quite a beauty.

Can't she be compared

with Miss Fairy?

I'm a faithful man.

Do you know what true love is?

Do you have someone you like?

Me?

I'm not into romance.

Why did you make that sound?

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Don't run.

Something is wrong with you.

I'm just saying

that I don't like romance.

It reminds me of my master.

It's not free at all.

Your master?

Yes, my master.

He passed down this Silver-Moon Spear

to me.

Well,

in fact, he wasn't really my master.

When I met him,

he was dying,

with his body covered in sores,

lying hopelessly in an abandoned Taoist temple.

He was Lin Jiu who wielded the Zhuixu Spear,

yet he landed himself in such a pathetic state.

Later, I saved him

and he taught me spear techniques for five days.

What happened after that?

He passed away five days later.

Before he died,

he asked me to bring his ashes

back to his hometown.

He told me

that a woman he deeply loved

once lived there.

Every morning,

that woman

would brush her hair by the lakeside.

He was only a poor man at that time,

while she was

the prettiest woman in town.

Hence, he determined

to roam the martial arts world with his spear.

However, it was thirty years

since his departure.

Thirty years?

She must have married someone else.

Three years after he left,

she married someone else.

She probably wouldn't remember

there was a young lad

who woke up early every day to practice his spear

just to watch her

brushing her hair.

Your master

was a great man.

Was he?

Maybe.

You see,

this is what the martial arts world is all about.

The so-called romance

is simply useless.

Life is tough yet short.

Why seek torture for ourselves?

Sikong Changfeng,

you claim to be a wanderer

who roams the martial arts world

with a spear and a pot of wine.

May I know

which world you are roaming, actually?

Rivers and lakes? [*Literal meaning of martial arts world]

That can only be called swimming.

How can you call it

"roaming"?

So the martial arts world you have in mind

contains people too.

Exactly.

Since there are people,

there will also be all kinds of feelings,

including

affection and love.

All sorts of sentiments

and individuals

make it a vibrant martial arts world.

You sure have a way with words.

You said you were dying.

What does that mean?

I only have memories from after I turned 15.

I can't remember anything

happened before that.

However, after I started to practice the spear

and gained some martial skills,

I realized that my heart meridian

has long been severely damaged.

I don't have much time left.

Bai Dongjun,

how about I kidnap the bride on your behalf?

You can still change your mind.

No.

I want to do that myself.

About this,

has inspired me.

It makes me even more convinced

that I'm doing the right thing.

What do you mean?

I have to hurry up.

Otherwise, my beloved girl

might also get married soon.

Yuji.

[Zi Yuji,] Qixuan,

[Marquis Purple Robe of Sky's Beyond] how was it?

We lost the thing.

I wonder

what the background of Liu Yue is.

Not just him,

Mo Xiaohei, who is known

to be on his bad side

came too.

Did you...

I retreated in time.

I'm fine.

But that thing...

They won't get far with that thing.

Let's head back to Chaisang City

and get prepared in advance.

All right.

I wonder

what he is going to do with that thing.

What did you make of it?

Very well.

What's very well?

You came.

That's very well.

Before I came,

Ruofeng didn't tell me

I was sent to save you.

This is the predestined

fate.

[Elegance of the World]

Let's go.

That man

isn't from Xinan Circuit.

It seems there is another force

backing up the Yan family.

The most beautiful young master

and the ugliest young master in the world.

What an interesting collaboration.

[Burial]

It seems

they are getting impatient.

Second Young Master.

Can I wear a white robe tomorrow?

I'm afraid you won't be allowed to do that.

At the wedding,

you should wear a red gown.

White robes

are meant for funerals.

But who can say

whether it's a wedding

or a funeral tomorrow?
