Right this way. No need. Check out my shop. You dare steal business from Lone Manor? Tired of living? Get over here! You just hit someone from the Black Bear Gang? You’re asking for trouble! Hey, sir! Welcome to Jiayuan City! Right over here. We’ve got a little shop. Our herbal tea is the perfect thing to cool off with. Take a sip on a hot day to feel refreshed! Come on! Right this way, sir. Please, have a seat. Take a look around! Great taste, sir! Waiter! Bring some tea! Here you go! This way. Come, have a seat. Right this way! Come on in! Sir. Give it a try! This tea… [Sun Ergou]
This tea of ours really hits the spot! It’s the real deal. Uh, excuse me. I need some information. You’ve come to the right guy! Here in Jiayuan City, there’s nothing I, Sun Ergou, don’t know! What do you need? Mo Juren. The Mo Residence. Mo Juren… Physician Mo? Oh, his family? I know everything! Something big just happened at Physician Mo’s place. What happened? Physician Mo is now dead. He died? No one else knows yet. How do you know? His final disciple told me himself. Final disciple? Who was it? Wu Jianming. Hey, beggar boy! Move it! Move! Out of the way! Move, you little brat! Open your eyes! My young master is coming through! Out of the way! That’s him! – Make way! – Don’t block the road! This kid’s no ordinary punk. Who do you think you are? Get lost. He got into trouble a few years ago. The Five-Color Sect kicked him out. Move aside! Now he goes around saying he’s Physician Mo’s final disciple. Just last month, he got engaged to Miss Yuzhu, the first daughter of the Mo family. They are picking a date for the wedding. The entire Mo family business might fall right into his hands. That means the Sunwarm Jade that cures poison will be part of her dowry too. Sir? Are you alright? You’re drenched in sweat. Did you get heatstroke? Waiter! A bowl of mung bean soup! Hurry! Do you have any rooms? Yes, we do. Get me an upper room. My friend needs to rest. Right away. Don’t worry. – Alright. – Come on. Watch your step, sir. The poison from the Silver Demon Palm has been acting up more often. I have to get the jade before Miss Mo gets married. If I don’t get the Sunwarm Jade, Wu will probably take it for himself. Get some rest. Until the bell rings, don’t go anywhere. The secret branch in Changping Town sent in 7,300 taels of silver. The one in Luogu Town only sent 5,800 taels. These secret branches are getting worse every year. The silver they sent this year [Mo Caihuan]
is over a quarter less than usual. [Mo Fengwu and Mo Yuzhu] What is this? That’s Father’s Dragon Mark Ring. Thief! I’m not a thief. Ladies of the Mo family, I am Han Li, Physician Mo’s final disciple. I came to pay my respects. Final disciple? Another one of those impostors. [To Madam]
This is Master’s handwritten letter. Please have a look. Go fetch Mother. Come to the main hall. You should hand the letter to Mother yourself. Alright. It’s dark. Watch your step. The Master has been gone so long. He finally remembered us. – One of them. – That’s right. At least we finally heard something from him today. Two of them. What kind of final disciple did he take in? – Three of them. -Yeah, what does he even look like? – Four. – Final disciple, really? Unbelievable. Five, six. Why are there so many? Watch out. So, you’re the real final disciple. You’re a lot better than that impostor Wu Jianming. Why haven’t we heard of you before? This final disciple seems alright. Pretty handsome too. Not bad. Looks like the Master made the right choice. He’s impressive. Very impressive. Newcomer, this is my mother, Madam Li of the Mo family. [Madam Li] This is Third Madam, Madam Liu. [Madam Liu] Fourth Madam, Madam Yan. [Madam Yan] And Fifth Madam, Madam Wang. [Madam Wang] I am Han Li. Greetings, Madams. Han Li? My eldest sister, Yuzhu. I am Fengwu. My younger sister, Caihuan. Greetings, ladies. So, she isn’t a servant. Young man. Did that old fool say when he’ll be back? Madam Liu, whatever Master wanted to say was written in the letter. Letter? Where’s the letter? My wife and daughter, may this letter stand in for my presence I’m entangled in pressing matters and still can’t return home anytime soon. The one delivering this letter is my final disciple, Han Li. He possesses unique skills and can be trusted. If anything happens at the Mo Residence, feel free to let him handle it. If he can keep the Mo family safe, then he may choose to marry one from Yuzhu, Fengwu, or Caihuan. As for her dowry, use the Sunwarm Jade. Why are they looking so guarded? It doesn’t make sense. I’ve read this letter hundreds of times. There’s nothing suspicious in it. Master cares deeply for the family. He wants me to ease the burdens on the Mo family. If you ladies have anything urgent that needs dealing with, just let me know. I shall give it my all. It’s getting late today. Young Master Han, why don’t you stay here at the residence tonight? As for everything else, we can talk about it tomorrow. We’ll discuss it tomorrow. – But… – Yuzhu, Fengwu, Caihuan, quickly. Show Young Master Han to the west wing to rest. Please. They’re in such a rush to send me off. Something is up. You all remember what the Master told us before leaving. If valuables are sent here, all is well. But if it’s a letter, it’s most likely bad news. Madam Yan, let’s read the letter. Very well. The secret letter will show its content. Secret letter? That old fool had a backup plan in place. I told you to stop fooling around. Our mothers seem to like him. Nanny Wu, bring some water. Why water? It’s all silent now. Li, be honest. First impression of Yuzhu? What do you mean? My father told us he’d betroth one of us to his final disciple. You three are prestigious ladies. Master must have been kidding. I can’t take it seriously. Ladies, you need not worry. Madam Wang, activate your inner strength. Inner strength? If you’re reading this, it means I’m no longer of this world. The one who took my life was… Father would never – make a joke… – Did they finish reading? with our marriage. – Darn it. – My sister would like to speak with you. – What’s on the letter? – Young Master Han? You came at the perfect time. – She talks a lot. – If you can get rid of that impostor Wu Jianming, I can’t hear a thing. I don’t mind marrying you. It’s him! He looked like an honest fellow. Can’t judge a book by its cover. If he could fool the Master, we must be cautious. What are they whispering? This grudge must be avenged. Vengeance is needed. He must pay for this. What now? We kill him. It’s always the same methods. My venomous spider was a gift from the Master before he left. After all these years, it’s time for it to get some fresh air. I have a recipe. The Master says to use it when necessary. Tonight, I’ll brew the drug. Madam Yan, brew the drug for my Jade Hornet Sting. Before we act, we can knock him out with incense. One more thing. Father said you could choose, but you must marry me first. I am the oldest sister. I can’t hear a thing. In this family, – the old ones can’t get married. – They talk too much. The young can’t get married yet. Miss Yuzhu, do you have the Sunwarm Jade? You need not worry. Since Mother said so, the Madams will take care of it. No, I mean, you’d better not be a greedy one. You’d ignore a beauty like Yuzhu? All you care about is the Sunwarm Jade. Forget it, Fengwu. Don’t make things hard for him. Yuzhu! Don’t speak like you’ve married him. I wasn’t! The path ends here. Where am I staying? We got carried away chatting. West wing. This way. When do we make our move? Tonight. No time like the present. Alright. Wait. Young Master Han. Please. Thanks for walking me here. Rest well. I didn’t say anything wrong just now, did I? He won’t be upset, right? – Why are you still here? – I told you… to talk less. Alright. I’m going. – Go. – Go on. Did I say anything wrong just now? Right? What do you think about me and him? They are finally gone. Madam Yan always thinks things through. Strange. Why is it quiet again? – We’ll go with your plan. – Whatever you say. Alright. Since everyone agrees, we still have to treat him well. Let him stay at the residence. Give him good food and drink. Let him build up his strength. That way, he’ll be more useful to us later. Nanny Wu. Make sure Young Master Han gets a hearty breakfast. Use the same standard that we had for the Master. Whatever they’re planning, I have to get the Sunwarm Jade they promised me. I’m running out of pills. Better save them for a critical moment. Good morning, Young Master Han. Mother asked Nanny Wu to prepare a hearty breakfast. Come eat with us. Young Master Han, have some. Everything was specially made by Nanny Wu at our mothers’ request. I called someone greedy last night, but that was totally wrong. He’s just stingy, that’s what. Who comes as a guest, eats and drinks for free, and shows up empty-handed? That’s enough. Can you stop going on and on? Asking him for gifts the moment you open your mouth? That’s just as bad. Didn’t he ask us for the Sunwarm Jade? Ladies, this meal, is too much for me. But, I do have something that can serve as a gift. What’s this? This? It’s called Fragrance Pellet. Carry it with you. It helps keep mosquitoes and bugs away with a light floral scent. It smells so good. What if men start lining up to propose? This is official imperial medicine. Such a rare and precious court medicine, and you’re giving it away? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for the two of us. Fengwu, don’t talk nonsense. All of this was made by Nanny Wu based on guesses. We’re not sure if it suits your taste, Young Master Han. Whichever one you like, we’ll have her make it again tomorrow. These two girls are noisy, but they’re easier to deal with than the mothers. Until I find the jade, I’d better play along with them. Delicious. Do you like it? If you like it, then I like it too. My belly hurts. Mothers? You, come with us. We brought you here because there’s something we want to ask you in person. No need to ask. I killed Physician Mo. At least you’re honest. He tried to kill me first. All I did was defend myself. We can look past what you did to the Master. But you must agree to do something for us. Alright. But I want you to swear on Physician Mo’s spirit. Once it’s done, give me the Sunwarm Jade. Do you know who you’re going after? I must have the Sunwarm Jade. His name is Ouyang Feitian. He has always committed evil acts. He slaughters the innocent. He has even spread the word that he’d wipe out our family. Eliminating him not only protects us, but also benefits the people. Fine. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. His martial skills surpass the Master’s. He treasures his life dearly. He’s probably surrounded by layers of traps. Underestimating him will only get you killed. Did you get all that? No need for you ladies to worry about that. And your sincerity? Alright. We can do that. We swear on the spirit of our late husband, Mo Juren. If you can get rid of Ouyang Feitian for us, we’ll give you the Sunwarm Jade. Deal. Deal. It’s like he didn’t hesitate at all. [Ouyang Feitian] Who might this mighty warrior be? You’re Ouyang Feitian? This is a sacred place of serenity. Don’t be reckless. You’re reeking of murderous intent, and you talk about serenity? You’re a cultivator? A proper cultivator, getting involved in mortal disputes? Who sent you? Which family hired you? I am willing to pay double if you could spare me. Bargaining? I’ve looked into you. You’ve committed countless crimes. Now you think you can buy your life back? Master, why must you trouble a mere mortal like me? I’ve even sent men many times to Tainan Valley to seek cultivators, but I never managed to find any trace. Now that I finally met one, naturally, I’d like to build a good relationship with you. Tainan Valley? Yes. Since ancient times, Tainan Valley has been a gathering place for immortals. Legend has it that a hundred years ago, someone there was chosen to become a disciple of an immortal. Please look, Master. This is a map of Tainan Valley. If you wish to have it, I will gladly hand it over. Tainan Valley… That sounds familiar. Could there be other cultivators? Seems like you’re not interested in that, Master. Well then, forget it. Once this is all done, I’ll go check out Tainan Valley. Mother. Ouyang Feitian… We have news. What happened? He’s dead. That fast? Mother! How is that possible? He is back. So soon? She is the only one who tends to the herbs. Looks like Physician Mo passed all his knowledge to this mute girl. It’s done. Now hand over the Sunwarm Jade. This is indeed the Ouyang family heirloom from Lone Manor. What’s the meaning of this? Trying to go back on your word? No. It’s just that it happened so suddenly, we… we weren’t prepared at all. Prepared for what? We had an agreement. I help you, you give me the jade. How long do you need? Ten days. Ten days? We originally estimated you and Ouyang Feitian would fight for ten days. Those ten days were critical for us to seize control of the Lone Manor forces. Who knew you’d kill him in just two hours? You completely disrupted our plan. That was way too fast. You told me to kill Ouyang Feitian, but you never said how long. Besides, you swore to me. Right. We did make a vow. We promised if you took care of Ouyang Feitian, we’d give you the Sunwarm Jade. But now what? You call that taking care of it? Exactly. One old problem is gone, and now a new one shows up. Now that Ouyang Feitian is dead, not just the Jingjiao Sect, but all of Jiayuan City will be in chaos. I even heard whispers that the Five-Color Sect will make a move tonight. – The Five-Color Sect? – Yes. Tonight? Yes. If they take over Lone Manor, what about us? Will we even survive? – What now? – What should we do? Seems like you didn’t just kill the Master, you’re also about to bring ruin to the Mo family! We’re widows and orphans here. What are we supposed to do? – Yeah! – What now? Tell us what we should do! What should we do? Sounds to me like you’re backing out! We’re not backing out! Then, how do I get the jade? You… stay. That’s impossible. Why not? Yeah! The Sunwarm Jade is the Mo family’s heirloom treasure. And we’ve made a deal. Our family has three daughters, and they’ll all marry you. The Sunwarm Jade would be their dowry. – All yours. – No way! – Everything yours. – I’m going to become an immortal! Our daughters are the pride of Jiayuan City. The Three Beauties of the Mo family! Trust me, people are lining up just to marry into this family. Exactly. You’re scoring big here, you know? You even get the Sunwarm Jade! – Don’t be ungrateful. – It’s all yours! – So lucky. – Seriously. – Don’t run! – You hit the jackpot! – Right? – Stop! Are you all done? Now hear me out. There’s no way I’m staying. Come up with something else. There are still villains in the City. I wonder where they hide the Sunwarm Jade. If the three of us will marry Li… If I snatch it by force, – they might destroy it. – Yeah. That’d be trouble. You little rascal. Just say it. Do you agree or not? If they’re all bad guys, then I’m just saving the people. But I can’t let them keep dragging this out. [Mo Residence] [May I borrow the recipe for Fragrance Pellets?] It’s you. Can you hear me? This book contains essentials of medicines written by your father. Aside from the Fragrance Pellet formula, I’ve also added my own notes. I hope it’ll help you. [I’ll return it after copying.] No need. This belongs to the Mo family. I’m returning it to its rightful owner. Of all in the Mo family, only she seems decent. Quiet and well-behaved. Looks like she has inherited Physician Mo’s medical skills. Too bad she can’t speak. Young Master Han. Young Master Han. Have some tea before you go. Never mind. That’s a good idea. This man is nicknamed Black Bear. The Five-Color Sect’s [Black Bear]
top contender for the next Sect Leader. He rose through the ranks by pillaging and killing. He even kills the elderly and children. Taking him out means removing a threat to the Mo Family. It rids the people of a menace. Once it’s done, I’ll hand over the Sunwarm Jade with both hands. We give you our word. So, you’re Black Bear. Sounds like you really are rotten to the core. Who are you calling Black Bear? He did it again. He really killed Black Bear. So what do we do now? Are we seriously going to let him marry all three of our daughters? And give him the Sunwarm Jade too? No way. If he leaves, we’ll be four helpless widows. Besides, we still have so many enemies. That’s why we must do whatever it takes to make him stay. Why is it so quiet? No one is here. Don’t tell me they ran off to avoid paying up. Young Master Han, we were just looking for you. Weren’t you all out? We’ve been waiting here for you. Come. What for? Measurements for new clothes! – Haven’t had time to wash your old ones. – What? You’ve killed two villains. What? We’ll wash them for you. No, no need! Ladies, you don’t have to. From now on, we’ll take care of all your laundry. No need! You’ve killed two, your clothes must be filthy! I’m great at sewing. From now on, I’ll make all your clothes. Never mind. Just help us out this once. Don’t tell me you want me to get revenge again? That’s right. Guihua Alley. Old Master Wu. I’m not going. Han Li! No. I can’t delay any longer. Here. Have a bowl of herbal tea. It’ll cool you down. Sir! You’re finally back! Jiayuan City has been in chaos lately. Ouyang Feitian, Black Bear, and even the Mo Family’s future son-in-law are dead. Where’s my friend? Don’t even ask about him. He is lovesick. He has been moping day and night. He does nothing but stand there. He’s ruining my business. Qu Hun. Let’s go. There’s no time. If they try to stop us again, I won’t hold back. Why did you bring someone along? He’s backup. Look, aren’t you misunderstanding us? What? You really think we’d try to cheat you? You know best. I did everything Physician Mo asked in the letter. As promised, hand over the Sunwarm Jade now. Don’t worry. You all, hurry and bring the jade here. Young Master Han, word has been going around that the Mo family has gained a son-in-law with thunderous means. Really, we couldn’t be happier. At last, we have someone to rely on. Look… Spare me the excuses. Look. Turn around and take a look. The dowries are all here. The first chest is filled with priceless gold and jewels. In the future, the earnings from all our secret ventures will be yours to manage entirely. The second chest holds our Mo family’s ancestral medical compendium and the keys to the clinic storeroom. The third chest contains all the weapon manuals from the Jingjiao Sect, along with the Sect Master Token to rally the masses. You’re trying to use these to keep me here? And also our three daughters. And also the four of us. We all want to leave too. Don’t forget me. We all want to go with you, together. Take us with you. Let’s run away together. Who said I’m taking you along? Let me be clear. None of those three will ever be my wife. The four of you are not coming with me! Young Master, take me with you. Go back. All I want is the Sunwarm Jade! Why… Why don’t you want me? Are the Three Beauties not good enough for you? Where did you get the confidence? I’m one of the four Han heirs! If I say no, it’s no. Don’t even try to persuade me! What are we supposed to do without a man in the house? I know what the ladies are really up to with all this crying. – Stop crying. – With Father gone, those eying the Mo family fortune will surely strike. – Stop crying. – The ladies just want to keep this cultivator here… – Stop crying! – to protect us. As for marrying us off and giving him the Sunwarm Jade, they never meant to follow through. I just hope Li doesn’t fall for it. Keep this up and I’ll burn this place to the ground. So there’s really no room to talk? None at all. The Sunwarm Jade. Hand it over now. No more talking. Attack! You’ve been poisoned by Silver Demon Palm. You don’t have long left. Once that poison sets in, not only can you not cultivate, you won’t live much longer. If I die, you’re coming with me! Stay here, and no one has to die. The Sunwarm Jade, now! Are you handing it over or not? No! We’re dead either way. If you’ve got the guts, kill me. Kill us all. – Kill us! – Go ahead! Kill every one of us! Kill us! Do it! Kill us! Kill us! Go on! Kill us! Kill! The poison’s taking effect. You can talk? Kill us! Hurry! Quick! Hurry! Sleeping drug? Hurry! ♪Shards of dreams inside a dream♪ ♪A pale moon falls into mirrored skies♪ ♪Years slipped by as I lingered on♪ ♪Old scenes rise again♪ ♪Too hard to forget♪ ♪Easier just to miss♪ ♪They say the past fades like smoke♪ ♪But looking back still stirs the ache♪ ♪This noisy world, this lonely page♪ ♪Swept away by time♪ ♪Eyes once looked far♪ ♪Now lost in the shift♪ ♪Autumn winds stir♪ ♪Smoke curls once more♪ ♪Like clouds on the edge of sky♪ ♪Returning to my eyes♪ ♪Looking back from the mountaintop♪ ♪Time lost its name♪ ♪Was it yesterday♪ ♪Or tomorrow?♪ ♪The world has changed♪ ♪Beyond recall♪ ♪Time will fade♪ ♪All the words ever spoken♪ ♪Only this longing remains♪ ♪Crossing centuries and days♪ ♪In a fleeting moment we call eternity♪ ♪In a fleeting moment called eternity♪
