Here.
I'll go get some food for us
to fill our bellies
before it gets dark
All right, I'll start the fire
Pei Rong is so nice.
Pei Rong, let me help you
No, no!
Don't move!
Just sit and rest well
I'm sorry, I can't even help with such a small task
What's so difficult about that?
Don't get injured again
Now that will be problematic
Sit still and don't move
I'm sorry to trouble you
Oh, right
You and Brother Yong are...
We are childhood friends
who grew up together
If it weren't for Pei Rong's family taking me in,
I would have died a long time ago
What are you doing here?
I am waiting
Waiting for my enemies. Enemies?
My family has been killed by the desert bandits
I want to take revenge
How long have you been waiting here?
-10 days -10 days?
Why are you practicing martial arts?
To take revenge for my father, mother and older brother
Godmother taught me
that martial arts are for dealing with bad guys and protecting loved ones
Then will it protect me?
Of course it will
Will you always protect me?
I will protect you for life!
Xiao Yong, get up quickly
Have you thought clearly about enlisting?
Xiao Yong,
why don't you do something else?
It's dangerous to join the army
I don't wish to waste these years of your careful grooming
Godfather, godmother, please don't worry
I will create a career for myself
and won't embarrass you
Pei Rong, you have to wait for me
I will make sure that I'm a good match for you
And then...
And then what?
When that day comes,
I'll tell you
This silly girl
grew up with me since we were young
Her parents brought me up
and treated me like their son
So, as a child, I told myself
that when I grow up
I must look after Pei Rong properly
to repay them
Brother Wang,
I won't treat you as an outsider
I'm not afraid to tell you
I, Pang Yong, know very well
that if I want to love Pei Rong, I need to be more outstanding
I need to
be qualified to love her
Brother Yong, don't say that
Love doesn't differentiate between qualifications
I want to let the woman I love
feel proud because I love her
I want you
to feel proud because of me
Rise
Welcome to the destroyer of evil sect!
Come greet your senior
You should greet your senior
I entered first, why is she my senior?
Our destroyer of evil sect
doesn't determine status based on time of entry
It's determined by intellect
You're so dumb, of course you're the junior
Smelly old man
Alright, alright.
Just call me Xu Xu
Alright, don't be angry.
Senior Bing Bing?
Just call me Bing Bing
In the future, the two of us will help each other
We cannot be bullied by this old man
It looks like man and demon can get along too
I hope that my decision is not wrong
Your name is Xu Xu?
I'm Bing Bing!
From now on, you're the older sister
and I'm the younger sister, okay?
Jie Jie!!
Come over here! What are you doing?!
There's no hint of even a scent!
Old man! You lied to me again!
I lie to you several times a day
What's the link between me cheating you and you sniffing her?
Why are you sniffing her?
You still dare to ask me?
When I asked you how to identify a demon,
you pointed to your nose
I sniffed her a few times bu there's nothing to smell!
Really?
Yeah! You pointed to your nose so I...
Really, now
I meant that if you cannot find the demon,
You need to find me!
Find me!
Idiot!
Brother Yong is back!
Brother Yong!
You managed to snatch Pei Rong back, good job
Brother Yong, I was worried about you
I did a prediction for you and it indicated bad news
Xia Hou Xiang
When have your predictions ever been accurate?
We only relaxed when your predicted a disaster
Am I right?
I can't die.
If I die
who will handle you?
This is a good brother I've just met
Because of him,
I could smoothly save Pei Rong
None of you are to ill-treat him
How are you, I am Wang Sheng
It couldn't be...
The bastard that forced Pei Rong to marry her?
Brother Yong's brother is our brother
Brother Yong, you're tired, go in and take a break
-Let's go! -Brother Wang, please. -Ok.
Pei Rong
-Pei Rong! -Father, mother!
Pei Rong, Pei Rong you're back.
It's good that you're back
It's alright, I'm back.
Xiao Yong,
I don't know how to thank you enough for this
Godfather, how can you even mention thanks?
I promised you
that I would look after Pei Rong for the rest of our lives
Good, I was right about you
Let me introduce someone to you
This is Wang Sheng
Are you serious?
It's all chicken
Madam knows that you love chicken
So she specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare it
All of you must be hungry after the long journey
Hurry and eat. Eat!
Hey Pei Rong,
You suffered the most this time, eat more
Thanks Brother Yong.
Brother Wang, I toast you
Brother Yong, I cannot accept the toast
Although Brother Wang is from the Lang Ya Yi Prince Residence,
but you're definitely a character
I, Pang Yong, willingly call you my brother
And it's all thanks to Brother Wang
that Pei Rong could escape this disaster
Just based solely on that fact,
I'll drink this in respect of you
Master Wang,
so it's thank to you that Pei Rong could return home
We're really thankful
It's actually quite regretful
It was my family's wrong in first instance
But now, in reverse,
you are thanking me
It's a good thing that Pei Rong is back
and reunited with you
At least I have made up for the wrong
But you all know
My father is no longer around
On behalf of my father,
I apologise to all of you
and hope that you will forgive us
-I'm sorry. -Alright, alright.
Hurry and sit
It's not easy
that we can all sit and have a reunion dinner
Don't apologise anymore
Today,
I want to formally introduce all of you to a new dish
It's called Sunset Chicken Soup
I spent more than ten nights on it
This dish does not rely on fire to boil
It relies solely on moonlight
It's purely natural
Don't listen to his rubbish
What Sunset Chicken Soup?
I've been drinking this lukewarm soup
for many days now
How can you blame me for this?
The timing was not right
Missy, when you were gone,
Old Master thought of you every day. He would gaze at the moon and sigh
This Sunset Chicken Soup was created solely because of you
Really?
Then I will drink a few more bowls
You have to drink more
Pei Rong, if you get a stomachache from it, you're not to cry
Right, I will drink it with her
Here, I'll help you.
Brother Wang, I'm sorry
You had to drink such horrible soup
No, it's not horrible
In fact, I felt very warm
My godparents
are the nicest people in the world
I think they look highly upon you
If you have nothing else to do, spend more time at their place
Treat it as your own home - Okay
Is this room all right?
If it's not, I'll get another one for you
It's pretty good, don't change it
Good, are you sure?
If you have any requests, just let me know
Don't stand on ceremony with me
Brother Yong,
I've already troubled you enough
Don't worry about me anymore
This is nothing
I'm not even inconvenienced
You looked after me on the road,
and now, you're being so hospitable
I really need to thank you, Brother Yong
Thank, thank, thank me for what?
If you thank me again, you'll be treating me as an outsider
I brought you to Tai Yuan City
which means that we are family
Brother Yong, you need not say more
Some matters are so great, words aren't sufficient as thanks
Good brother
What are you doing?
Line up for training
Brother Yong
Why did you bring that Wang fella back?
He's a beast
He almost snatched Sister Pei Rong
I don't understand why you're calling him brother
He's the only survivor of Lang Ya Yi
So he's really lucky and hardy
Now he's in Tai Yuan City
Who knows if he will cause everyone here to die?
I think he's an unlucky fellow
Exactly, Brother Xing Ping is right
I really need to do a divine reading on him
Yong Ge, we are brothers who have faced death together
Yet you are so biased towards him
Have you considered our feelings?
Are you guys done?
You're done?
Do you know
that it was Brother Wang who saved Pei Rong?
If it were not for him,
both Pei Rong and myself could not have come back
I, Pang Yong,
am a man who deals with facts and not with who people are
Every one of you say I'm biased towards him
Does that mean that you feel like I'm ill-treating you?
That year, when you were hit by a poisoned arrow,
who saved you by sucking out the poisoned blood?
And you,
who was that man that took a blade for you?
The one who disappoints me the most is you
Us two brothers
have been together on the battlefield for years
We're brothers who live and die together
Do you not know by now what kind of person I am?!
Xia Hou Xiang!
Where's the letter?
I haven't even had the chance to speak of it
Actually, before Brother Yong went to Lang Ya Yi,
he gave me his will
"I may die going to Lang Ya Yi"
"If anything happens to me"
"All my belongings are to be split among my brothers"
Actually, Brother Yong treats us really well
We shouldn't distrust him
Brother Yong, I'm sorry.
All right
Brothers do not hold grudges
What did you say earlier?
I heard nothing
But in the future, if anyone mentions it
They won't be my brother anymore
Who are you?
I'm Xu Xu.
I'm here to save you
Little Pitiful, you're free now
You can't touch these things
Even though your demonic aura has been surpressed,
but we can't guarantee that you won't cause them to fail
Because they are all prototypes made by the old man
What are 'prototypes'?
Prototype means
that they lose their effectiveness very often and may even catch the wrong people
Bing Bing,
I want to ask you a question.
I often think of that person
Are you thinking of
the happenings in Lang Ya Yi again?
Then is it considered love?
I think so
It's like me constantly thinking of sugared candy
Hawthorne candy is my greatest love
It's definitely love
Then what do I do? I can't stop thinking about him
Then just think of him. The sky isn't going to fall!
Anyway, you won't be seeing him again
What's so scary about that?
-Really? -Yeah.
All right, stop talking about your problems
Mouths are not for complaining
They are for eating
I'll go get some food for you
Don't forget your promise
I did not forget
But I cannot control it
Some things require time
If you open your heart and practice diligently,
you will overcome it
Your ears are out
Old man!!! Old man!!
You sleep after eating and drink after sleeping
Just like a worm!
Old man, Xu Xu needs her medicine!
It's fine.
It's all right, I won't eat it
Anyway, I'm travelling with you guys
It's okay if I look ugly
That's not wrong...
Even though I'm used to it and not scared
Your outer appearance reveals your inner feelings
Because the demonic aura in your heart is still there,
it only takes a few days
for your demonic aura to leak again
Eat your medicine
For you
Can't you strengthen the dosage?
Suppress Xu Xu's aura forever?
Don't let her drink this smelly water again
She must suffer if she wants to be human
It's not like you're the one drinking the smelly water
Of course you'll speak like it's easy
Xu Xu is already working so hard
Why are you still like this?
It's tough being human
It's more bitter than drinking the medicine
I don't wish to inflict hurt on you
These couple of decades now,
I've never met a demon like this who could become human
Master, I will do it
I can handle the bitterness
Good, rest well then. We continue travelling tomorrow
Old Man, why did you come up here?
You can see better from elevated heights
Girl, go. Why aren't you going?
I'm scared...
Go where?
This girl has an ability
If she holds the dead's hand,
she can see what happened to them before they died
Smelly lass, go!
...I'm scared...
Don't use that tactic to make me go
It's useless on me!
What tactic?
But I'm envious of you
that you have such a great ability
But of course I'm strong, I don't need you to tell me that
This lass thinks highly of herself
That's why she won't learn properly from me
or practice her skills properly
Old man, you're taking the chance to criticise me again, aren't you?
This is the truth!
The truth is that I'm highly talented
That's why you took me in as your disciple
The truth is that you're dumb!
If I'm dumb then so are you! - All right, stop arguing!
Bing Bing Senior,
You have such a strong ability
why don't you show it to me?
I'll accompany you there
All right, for you
I'll allow you to go with me - Okay
Lass, what did you see?
I'm scared, it's really scary!
It's scary? How is it scary?
What did you see? Tell me!
Why is it always me?
I don't want to see or think about it anymore!
You are not alone
I'll watch it with you. Open your eyes
How are you going to watch it with me?
I won't lie to you
Open your eyes and look at me
Then I can watch with you
Bing Bing, look at me.
Brother!
Kneel down!
The hour is here!
Execute!
Brother!
Continue executing!
The sword broke!
When the deathrow inmate killed everyone,
did he show his original form?
Such a huge blade, hacking at the inmate's neck
Was he really unharmed?
It looks like the deathrow inmate is a demon
But even if he's a demon,
and even if it wouldn't kill him, I wouldn't want this blade coming down on me
I think, everyone's interests are different
Just like how the old man loves drinking
But I don't
So I think that
your understanding of demons is not good enough
You don't have to go on about something that everyone already knows!
Then tell us about things that not everyone knows
This demon can control the weather
and it can kill so many people in such a short time
I think, he should be pretty strong
But I feel that he's not that strong
Think about it
If he were that powerful, he wouldn't have been captured
Even if he were captured, he could escape easily
He wouldn't have waited to act only during execution
He may be that powerful
that's why he wanted to show off his powers
in front of a crowd
What about that?
Show off? We don't
Why not?
It's the same logic behind a tiger eating people
Old Man, what rubbish are you spouting now?
A tiger eats a person without fuss
It won't show off its prowess
"I have the ability to eat people!"
You don't even understand that
But I feel that he doesn't really want to kill people
It must be because he was in grave danger that
he was trying to protect himself
He had his reasons
What reasons does he have?
It doesn't matter what reasons he had
He still killed a lot of people
-But... -But what?
No buts!
It's getting late, we should rest early
Master, we're resting so early?
Master needs to eat and drink his wine
Then are you not worried that the demons will get away?
Those demons would've run away a long time ago if they wanted to
Do they need to kill so many people?
Xu Xu, do you know what he's saying?
I don't get what he's saying.
Buns! Hot, steaming buns!
Two buns - Two buns? Sure
Here, hold it carefully...
I'd rather give it to the dogs than to let you eat it
Get lost! - He's Wang Sheng from the Wang family
Hold still!
Where are you trying to run to?
I have no grievances with you
What are you trying to do?
No grievances?!
It's a mighty grievance!
The Wang family has done so many wrongs!
You know it best!
Don't act innocent and pitiful
Seeing you
... makes me feel disgusted!
Sir,
if my father has insulted you previously
I apologise on his behalf
If he owes you something, I will repay it on his behalf
Repay?!
What are you going to repay me with?
Can you afford to?
You owe me lives! A human life!
My oldest son
was working for your father at the harbour
The weather was hot and my son fainted from a heatstroke
But your beastly father
poured water on him to wake him up
and forced him to keep working
Three days of working in unbearably hot weather
Even field animals would have taken a break
Much less a living, breathing human!
When my relatives sent my son home,
his lips were cracked
Both eyes were staring at me
He left me without any last words of goodbye
From that moment on, I swore
that I would take revenge for my son
Today, you've fallen into my hands
This is heaven's will
I will kill you
Don't!!!
Miss Pei Rong, move aside!
This has nothing to do with you
I know,
The Wang family did you many wrongs in the past
But the wrong comes from a specific debtor
Don't kill a good person in anger
Why are you speaking up for him?
Every wrong comes from a specific debtor
Think of your youngest son
He already doesn't have an older brother, do you want to deprive him of a father now?
That beast of a father of his is already dead
Who do I look to for revenge?
Young miss!
I'm begging you
Please let him live
Why aren't they back?
Pei Rong, come here
When you married into the Wang family,
did you exchange vows with Wang Sheng?
Yes
Did you drink the nupital wine? - Yup
Then... did you consummate the marriage?
Of course not!
Pei Rong,
then why did you kneel in the streets and beg on his behalf?
Mother,
you've met Wang Sheng
He's different from his father
He has no need to pay his father's debts
Look at her, she keeps speaking for Wang Sheng
Pei Rong, have you fallen in love with him?
Mother, what rubbish are you spouting?
He is a victim too
Regarding the marriage,
I intend to wait until he has calmed down before discussing it
Pei Rong, we are not spouting rubbish
But everyone is saying
that the young miss of the Chen Family has fallin in love with Wang Shen
And in front of so many witnesses,
you knelt and begged on his behalf
Tell mother honestly, what do you intend to do about Xiao Yong?
What does this have to do with Brother Yong?
Your relationship with Wang Sheng is not clear
Are you not afraid that Xiao Yong will misunderstand?
Pei Rong, Xiao Yong wants to marry you - So what?
Even without Wang Sheng, I need not marry him
What?!
You have a third option?
This really will not do
It's not that we are not open minded
But you are a lady
Alright, alright!!
Don't say anymore!
I have my own plans about my own matters
Pei Rong,
I heard about today
Brother Yong, I--
You did right
I support you
Thanks Brother Yong.
Did I say something wrong?
- My Lord - Why isn't the priest you found here yet?
He's here
Are you Priest Long Yun?
Master Long Yun is indeed well-informed
So many people died here
But the demonic aura is not strong
Strange...
Which demon did this?
Do you have a solution?
Come, come.
This is an offering from me
Please don't reject it
Man and Demon are natural enemies
even if you had not invited me,
I would still do my best
to destroy the demon
You are right. - Leave
Since that is the case,
Why don't you stay in town and protect the people?
If we could use your strong abilities
and help me with this case,
In future, any demonic captures
will be met with great thanks
Previously, because of the matter in Lang Ya Yin, we did not celebrate
Brother Yong's promotion to Captain of Tai Yuan City
Now, he is able to return safely
Here's a toast to him
Brother Yong!
I can become Captain
only because of my good band of brothers
This is the hard work of everyone
How can I take all the credit?
Come,
Let us drink together! - Thank you, Brother Yong
