A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 21

Hua Wuque.

I thought you were a smart person.

I didn't expect that you're willing to be a lackey and be used by others.

Tie Xinlan must be blind!

Shut up!

This has nothing to do with Ms. Tie.

Who are you?

Hua Wuque, let me tell you.

Tie Xinlan is quick-witted and can distinguish right from wrong.

And you're helping the villain to do evil.

No matter how skillful you are,

you don't deserve to be with her!

Jiang Xiaoyu?

This guy is crafty and wily.

Perhaps all the recent chaos in the martial arts world

was caused by him!

It doesn't matter if it was caused by him.

Today is the day he dies.

Remain where you are and don't move!

Be wary of sneak attacks!

I'll go after the assassin!

Someone bring a light. Hurry up!

Why would it be...

He got away so quickly.

I'll follow my brother to go after him!

No need.

Mr. Hua, why is that?

You won't be able to get him.

Jiang Xiaoyu is badly injured.

It's not possible for him to escape on his own.

The person could throw a hidden weapon at me while extinguishing all the lamps,

and then take Jiang Xiaoyu away.

He must be highly skilled.

I'm afraid it's more than just one man.

But my brother has already gone after them.

He might be in trouble!

Don't worry.

They just want to rescue people.

They won't hurt your brother.

WANHUA PAVILION

Hua Wuque.

You're slow-witted.

Sir, you're awake.

I served you the entire night.

Am I dead?

That's right, sir.

This is paradise.

The paradise of men.

Sir!

Don't go!

Wait for me!

How is it?

Are you satisfied with this place?

Don't touch me.

Why would I be here?

That's because someone rescued you and brought you here.

And they actually risked their lives to save you and bring you here.

-Nonsense. -Let's go.

-Young man. -Young man!

-Young man. -Young man!

We saved you.

Shouldn't you express even a tiny bit of gratitude?

You saved me because I'm still worth something to you.

Aren't you curious about how we saved you?

You're going to tell me anyway.

Why would you think that we are going to tell you?

We'll just keep our mouths shut.

You rescued me right in front of the eyes of Hua Wuque and Jiang Biehe.

That requires wisdom, skills, and timing.

These three are indispensable.

It's such a brilliant plan.

Can you really hold it back and not brag about it?

Fine. You guessed it right.

It doesn't matter if it was caused by him.

Today is the day he dies.

"Remain where you are and don't move!"

"Be wary of sneak attacks!"

"I'll go after the assassin!"

So, it was you two who extinguished the lamps.

Luo San who was behind Hua Wuque threw a hidden weapon,

while Luo Jiu carried me off.

Then Luo San imitated Luo Jiu's voice

to distract everyone and buy time.

This is our brotherly brilliance.

It's brilliant indeed.

I didn't even think of it. Those fools would surely fall for it!

Of course.

It's not easy to fool

that cunning Jiang Biehe.

Young man.

The two of us just don't get it.

You're clearly no match for Hua Wuque.

Why did you provoke him before starting a fight with him?

As long as I could make Hua Wuque embarrassed,

victory is nothing.

Death is nothing!

Well said, young man.

You're a man of action. I'm impressed.

All right.

You saved me and bragged about it.

So why did you bring me here?

Tell me.

All right.

You're straightforward.

We won't beat around the bush then.

Although you didn't reveal yourself,

we could tell

you definitely knew who the real mastermind was behind all this.

We're people who only want to profit and not suffer any losses.

We've wasted time doing all the talking, but didn't get paid.

How can we reconcile to this?

We would like to find out who lied to us.

The mastermind is Hero of Jiangnan,

Jiang Biehe.

"Jiang Biehe"?

In order to frame Tie Wushuang,

Jiang Biehe got others to do his dirty work.

Firstly, he lured you in with money.

Secondly, he pretended to work with Hua Wuque.

And because he is Hero of Jiangnan,

he doesn't want others to know of his despicable acts.

So, both of you would inevitably end up being eliminated

like the hound is steamed after the cunning hare is killed.'

Young man, you have never been to school, right?

It's "the hound is boiled after the cunning hare is killed."

-That's what I said. -Is it?

All right, it doesn't matter whatever it is.

Young man, you said that Jiang Biehe is the mastermind.

-On what basis is that coming from? -What basis?

Think about it.

Who is going to get the benefit after everything is over?

There's only Jiang Biehe.

And he is going to reap both fame and fortune.

Once Tie Wushuang is dead,

Jiang Biehe will become the number one hero

in the martial arts world after Yan Nantian.

Even those foolish disciples of Tie Wushuang have paid allegiance to him.

Millions of silver taels are nowhere to be found.

You can't possibly think that straightforward Tie Wushuang took it?

-That makes sense. -That makes sense.

Young man.

Then,

how do you think we can get the money back that's rightfully ours?

Why are you two thinking so small?

How much were you supposed to be paid?

You should be thinking about how to get Jiang Biehe's hoard of silver.

This is...

-interesting. -Interesting.

-Very interesting. -Very interesting!

As long as you work with me,

we can expose Jiang Biehe's true colors,

no matter how cunning he is.

Ms. Tie, the poison in your body has not been completely removed yet.

If you don't take the medicine, your life might still be at risk.

Thank you for your concern,

but I'm not in the mood right now.

Did you see Jiang Xiaoyu yesterday?

To be honest,

the real mastermind behind all the chaos

that happened in the martial arts world lately

is Jiang Xiaoyu.

How is that possible?

The massacre of Shuangshi Armed Escort Company, robbery of Duan family,

and you being poisoned.

All these things are related to him.

No, it won't be him.

Ms. Tie.

How well do you know about Jiang Xiaoyu?

If he is a wicked person,

will you still be so protective of him?

I believe that he is a good person.

But he is from Wicked Canyon.

He was brought up by the Ten Great Villains.

I know you're telling me this,

so that I won't stop you

and that I won't be so upset after you kill Xiaoyu'er.

I appreciate your kindness,

but I trust him.

If you really kill him,

I'll surely avenge him

and won't regret it even if it means death.

Take the medicine first.

Mr. Hua.

If you're wrong and Xiaoyu'er is right in this matter,

will you still want to kill him?

He is the person Yihua Palace wants to eliminate. It won't be wrong.

My aunt ordered me to kill Jiang Xiaoyu,

then he must be guilty of heinous crimes.

What if your aunt is wrong?

Or what if she is the greatest villain in the world?

Tie Xinlan.

It's fine if you say this to me,

but don't ever say this in front of everyone else.

Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you either.

I don't need your protection!

Sir, Ms. Tie ran out crying. What happened to her?

Follow her.

Look after her.

-Yes. -Yes.

Sir!

Sir, are you all right?

I can no longer perform...

the Phoenix Splitting Slash.

I heard from Lady Lianxing

that Pure Jade Skill is like rowing a boat upstream.

Once one has regressed,

it will be very tough to get it back.

Sir, you went through a lot of hardship to master this skill.

It's not worth it at all to make such sacrifices for Ms. Tie.

Actually, it's nothing.

I can cultivate again.

Compared to a person's life,

three years of cultivation is nothing.

-But-- -That's enough.

Take care of Ms. Tie.

It's all worth it as long as she is safe.

-Yes. -Yes.

Our young master is the most loyal man in the world.

Tie Xinlan is the most ungrateful woman in the world.

In order to save her, he lost three years of his martial arts cultivation,

but she only thinks about Yihua Palace's enemy!

Can't she see our young master's deep affection for her?

Don't say that again. The young master might punish you.

I still want to say it anyway.

Tie Xinlan is crazy.

How is she worthy of our young master?

He really shouldn't--

How dare you say such a thing out loud?

If the masters hear of this, our young master will be punished.

I just feel sorry for him.

He is too naive and kind.

He left the mountain

and fell in love with Tie Xinlan at first sight.

But this woman is so peculiar.

Who knows how much pain she is going to bring upon him?

Ms. Tie.

I...

I came to apologize to you.

You saved my life.

I heard you even lost three years of your martial arts cultivation,

but I was harsh to you yesterday.

It wasn't right for me to do that.

You were poisoned because of me.

I owe you for that.

Those are two different things.

No matter what, I have to thank you for saving my life.

Even if it was someone else,

I wouldn't sit idly and do nothing.

You do not need to care about it.

I do care.

I'm not a heartless person.

What I'm trying to say is...

Actually...

Actually, you don't have to be so nice to me.

Until we find Jiang Xiaoyu,

can we be friends?

"Friends"?

I think given your status and reputation,

there are many who are willing to be your friends.

I'm not good enough to be your friend.

Yihua Palace has everything.

I have my aunts,

I have maidservants,

but I've never had friends since I was young.

I play the flute by myself.

I play chess,

read books

and practice martial arts alone.

My aunts treat me like their own.

The nicer they are to me,

the more I feel I have to do my best

and not disappoint them.

Perhaps it's also because of that,

I have more respect for them

than a sense of intimacy.

That's why I really wish to have a friend.

After I got to know you,

this feeling gets even stronger.

I apologize.

You had to listen to me rambling.

We can never be friends.

If I weren't Hua Wuque,

I might not kill him.

There's no one in the world that Yihua Palace can't find.

It's only a matter of time

before you kill Xiaoyu'er.

So everything between us...

has all been destined.

Let me in!

-Move aside. -Move aside!

I want to see Ms. Meng. Don't stop me!

Ms. Meng!

-Come out! Ms. Meng! -You can't go in!

-What are you doing? -Move aside! I want to see Ms. Meng!

-Ms. Meng! -Move away!

-Ms. Meng! Move! -You...

-Ms. Meng. -Go away!

-Ms. Meng, I know you're inside! -Come on.

-Ms. Meng! -Go away!

How dare you push me?

I spend money to drink here! How dare you push me?

Is this how you treat your customers?

We never neglect our customers.

Sir, how can I help you?

Are you in charge? I apologize.

I heard there's a Ms. Meng here who is very beautiful.

I heard she is breathtakingly beautiful

and is even an otherworldly beauty.

Actually, this is the kind that strikes my fancy.

Can you ask her out for me to see her?

I came all the way over here,

but these men stopped me and wouldn't let me see her.

How is that reasonable?

Actually,

Ms. Meng has been reserved by a customer

for half a year.

Within this period of time, I can't meet her either.

You should have said that sooner.

I have money.

How much did he pay? I'll double it.

No, I'll pay ten times the price.

This is not about money.

We need to follow the rules in doing business.

There are rules that we just can't ignore.

What if I insist to see her?

If you don't follow the rules,

you'll be punished according to our rules.

Go ahead then. I'll take the punishment.

Have you seen her?

Yes. I've seen her now.

If so, receive your punishment.

I apologize, Ms. Meng.

Sorry for disturbing you.

What kind of beautiful woman

would make a person not fear death just to take a look at her?

Is she as beautiful as Little Fairy?

What if she is compared to Tie Xinlan?

Since I'm here at the brothel,

it will be a shame if I don't take a look.

-Master. -Master.

Ms. Meng.

Come on, pour me a cup of tea.

Who are you?

Who am I?

I think I've seen you before.

Do you think you've seen me before?

Did I scare her until she lost her mind?

Do you remember where you saw me?

No.

I just have a feeling that I've met you before.

Do you remember who you are?

No.

I can't think.

I get a headache once I start thinking.

Forget it. Don't think then.

Some things are better off forgotten.

Could it be that you know who I am?

Of course I know.

I'm your husband.

Take a seat.

Your name is Xiaosha, and I'm Xiaodai.

-My name is Xiaosha? -Yes.

When we were together,

you were so sweet and gentle.

Whenever I got home,

you would pour me a cup of tea and massage my shoulders.

But after that, you went missing.

I just couldn't find you no matter what.

You don't know how hard it was for me to search for you all these years!

Dear.

What are you doing?

Dear.

How is it? Does it feel good?

Harder.

Harder.

You're much more adorable

compared to before.

Mr. Hua.

What do you think about Jiang Xiaoyu's disappearance?

I've been thinking about it.

Given the situation that day,

there's no way they could rescue him without someone on the inside.

You've enlightened me.

Could Jiang Xiaoyu's accomplices

be Luo San and Luo Jiu?

That's right.

When they came with the torches, only Luo Jiu wasn't there.

Just keep a close eye on Luo San and Luo Jiu

and they'll lead us to him sooner or later.

Mr. Hua is indeed a wise man.

Just leave it to me to capture him.

-This way, please. -Please come inside.

-Sirs, you're here. -This way, please.

It's been a while.

WANHUA PAVILION

Young man.

Young man, come on. It's time to eat.

Jiang...

Mr. Jiang?

-Mr. Jiang. -Mr. Jiang.

What a coincidence.

I didn't expect the reputable Luo brothers

would be staying in Wanhua Pavilion.

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it for myself.

This...

Don't you want to invite me in?

Mr. Jiang, we're sorry.

Look. A pretty girl is in bed.

She has taken all her clothes off.

"A pretty girl"?

Everyone loves pretty girls.

I would like to take a look too.

-Mr. Jiang! -Mr. Jiang!

-This is not appropriate! -Mr. Jiang, you...

-Mr. Jiang. -Mr...

Mr. Jiang.

She has caught a nasty disease.

-She can't meet other people right now. -"Caught a nasty disease"?

-That's right. -I know a thing or two about medicine.

How can I not lend a hand since I know of this?

-Mr. Jiang. -Mr. Jiang...

Well...

It's not going to be that easy to find me.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

I'm your husband. Don't you recognize me?

"Husband"?

Take a good look.

I remember.

I've seen your face before.

I'm your husband. Of course you remember me.

But why are you holding a knife

on my throat?

I don't know.

Someone just told me

that if anyone comes in, I have to use this knife on him.

Who told you that? Do you know him?

-No. -Why did you listen to him then?

I don't know.

I can't think.

I get a headache once I start thinking.

-Fine. Don't think. -I can't recall anything.

Here. Get some rest.

Don't play with something so dangerous next time.

Hey.

Have you been having such a bad memory?

They said I can only remember things for a day.

After a day, I won't remember anything anymore.

But you still have some impression of my face.

I remember my illness was related to you.

Of course. It's because I'm your husband.

I made you a promise.

No matter how hard it is to treat your illness, I'll find a way to cure it.

What illness do I have?

It is...

There's no point in telling you.

You'll forget it by tomorrow anyway.

But I want to know.

I can't be uncertain of where I am and what my name is forever.

Dear, please tell me.

-Are you that curious? -Yes.

All right. I'll tell you then.

You encountered something very horrible previously.

This horrible feeling possesses your body like a demon.

That is how you became like this.

If you want to recover your memories,

you have to remove all your clothes

to expel the demons in you.

Are you really taking your clothes off?

I want you to help drive away the demon in my body.

You silly girl! Put your clothes back on!

If not, I'm really going to do bad things!

Put them back on.

Dear, I feel the demon in me is acting up.

Please help me.

Who are you?

Put me down!

Who are you?

You're Hei Zhizhu?

Do you recognize me?

Although you're not that famous,

I've been in the martial arts world for years.

It's not hard to guess.

For someone who was caught on the spot

doing something so despicable,

you're still all smiles and talking so freely.

Other than Xiaoyu'er who was raised by the Ten Great Villains,

there's no one else like this.

You're quite knowledgeable.

You even know about my background.

But you're wrong about one thing.

When did I do something despicable?

I guess someone is being narrow-minded.

-That's why he imagined it as such. -You still dare to twist the truth.

-Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? -Of course not.

I heard Hei Zhizhu comes and goes in the dark

and is the embodiment of justice.

Only villains are afraid of him.

I've done nothing wrong.

Of course I'm not afraid of you.

Stop fawning over me.

People say I'm a monster.

I leap onto roofs and vault over walls even during the day.

Everyone fears me and avoids me.

For someone who would admit that he is a monster,

you're so much better than all those hypocrites even if you're a villain.

Congratulations then.

You're not going to die in the hands of a hypocrite.

Where are you going?

Hei Zhizhu, get back here!

Hei Zhizhu!

If I die, you'll never find out who Ms. Meng is!

Who is she?

My guess was right.

You fell for her.

"Fell for her"?

I don't deserve her.

Love doesn't discriminate.

Say it. Who is she?

Where is she from?

She is...

Put me down first.

You're the one who told Ms. Meng to use the knife on me, right?

Do you think I'm that weak?

There are more threads here.

There are so many of them.

Don't you feel tired carrying so many threads?

You love to tie people up, right?

How about that?

Am I better at tying people up than you?

Hei Zhizhu.

You better tell me what's the deal between you and Mu...

Ms. Meng.

Why are you interested in my woman?

Just kill me!

You're quite unyielding.

All right.

I'll grant you this wish then.

I'll kill you.

What are you doing?

Don't touch it.

Stop!

You're not that ugly.

Why do you wear a mask all the time and go skulking around?

Are you not going to tell me?

Fine, forget it then.

I never force people to do what they don't want.

I'll get going then.

Dawn is approaching anyway.

This place is near the main road.

I hope not too many people see your face.

See you, Little Spider.

Come back!

All right. I'll tell you.

That day,

I was being chased by my enemies.

Although I managed to escape,

I was badly injured.

I thought that was the end of me.

Just when I lost all hope,

I met her.

She saved me

and took me to a very beautiful place.

Why are you on your feet?

I see you're awake. Don't move.

You're still injured.

Take a seat.

Slowly.

Take it slow.

Over here.

Be careful.

You're finally awake. That's good.

Thank you for saving my life.

May I know your name?

I don't know my name either.

Is this your home?

I don't know where my home is either.

Since this place was abandoned, so I decided to stay here.

I'll go and get you some food.

That's what happened.

Under her care,

I survived my near-fatal injuries.

I found out that she can only remember things for a day.

She would forget everything after sleep.

That's why I call her Ms. Meng.

She said the food I had was too plain,

so she decided to go to the market to buy some fish

and make some soup for me.

Ms. Meng.

Remember, my name is Hei Zhizhu.

-I'll wait for you. -"Hei Zhizhu"?

However, after she left,

she never came back.

I was so worried and started to look for her everywhere.

I finally found out that she was at Wanhua Pavilion.

How did I just teach you?

Serve me well.

Ms. Meng!

I'm sorry.

How many times should I slap you this time?

Ten times.

Ms. Meng!

I'm Hei Zhizhu!

Let's go!

You leap onto roofs and vault over walls even during the day.

You've indeed lived up to the name of Hei Zhizhu.

You claim that you're the embodiment of justice.

Why are you trying to snatch a prostitute away from the brothel?

She is my friend.

"Friend"?

Do you know him, Ms. Meng?

Ms. Meng, it's me, Hei Zhizhu.

I'm Hei Zhizhu!

It seems that Ms. Meng is not the person that you're looking for.

I can show you some proof.

She belongs to Wanhua Pavilion.

This is her slave contract.

MS. MENG, WANHUA PAVILION

You forced her into prostitution!

"Forced her into prostitution"?

It's supply and demand.

This is how the brothel operates its business.

Then I'll buy her freedom.

State the price.

She is priceless.

You have gone too far!

These are the rules of Wanhua Pavilion.

Based on Wanhua Pavilion's rules,

how much does it cost to reserve her per day?

Fifty silver taels per day?

It's 500 silver taels per day.

I'll reserve her for all her life.

This item is enough for three-months payment.

I'll pay you the remaining in the future.

Divine Pearl of the East Sea?

From what I heard,

many people in the martial arts world are after you because of this pearl.

You would rather hide behind a mask and live in darkness all your life

than to hand this over to anyone.

But today, just for a woman...

Hei Zhizhu.

Are you sure about this?

For the next three months,

no one can touch her

or even take a look at her.

That is my rule.

Deal.

I heard someone had paid for her for half a year.

So it was you?

That's a huge amount of money.

So you're that rich.
