[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.

Why did she ask you
to become famous?
About this,
I'm not sure.

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?

[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.

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.

[Marquis Purple Robe of Sky's Beyond]
how was it?
We lost the thing.
I wonder
what the background of Liu Yue is.

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.

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.

Let's go.

isn't from Xinan Circuit.

backing up the Yan family.

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?
