Chinese Paladin 5: Clouds of the World- Episode 2 -
This woman is nothing good!
What are you doing?
What are you doing here? You're not going to find Miss Yurou?
She has to rest, so I came here.
Caiwei, do you think what happened these past few days were quite strange?
Eight young eunuchs and one old eunuch
went home together...
And then someone came to our fortress and took them away...
What came after that? A Demon Ape suddenly appeared in Cang Mu Mountain...
So you're not falling for that woman? You're just pretending to be a fool
-to trick her!-Ah?
What do you mean?
I thought you were seduced by that Miss Yurou and forgot about everything else.
I bet she knows kungfu.
And she's very likely better than the both of us.
Or else... how would a weak girl dare to pick herbs in the Cang Mu Mountian alone?
Her gentle and delicate image is fake! She's just pretending!
No one knows where she came from and she's hiding her identity.
Maybe what happened lately has something to do with her!
Caiwei... I think you're overthinking this.
Why would Miss Yurou pretend to be gentle?
So she could get into the Gale Fortress!
What do we have? No gold and no silver.
Eight boy toys were all we had, and they ran away.
I haven't made out that part yet...
I have to think it through.
So stop being suspicious or else people will laugh at you.
I'm going to sleep now.
What are you doing?
I gave my room to Yurou, so now I can only sleep in your room.
How can you sleep in my room as you please? Men and women (before marriage) can not touch each other!
What men and women? Can not touch each other?
You are my brother!
Besides, this is not the first time I've slept in your room.
Jiang Yunfan! You've gone too far!
Get up right now! Get out! Get out!
Get out!
Yurou... no, no... Caiwei, open the door!
I knew you would treat me nicely.
Go find your Miss Yurou!
Not nice at all!
Who went too far? Who went too far?
You're saying that I went too far?
You should be thankful that I don't blame you for snoring too loud when you sleep!
Do you have any idea?
Saying that Miss Yurou is hiding her identity and nobody knows where she came from...
Have you ever thought about it? We have so many people in the Gale Fortress!
How many of us actually know about each others' identities and backgrounds?
I don't even know who my father is yet!
The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.
Mr. Jiang told me that people here are all heroes,
but they are all hillmen.
If any of them have an evil thought and peeps at me,
you have to protect me! That's why, tonight...
you have to watch the moon with me. You hear that?
Who's there?
It's me!
Why are you here?
Me? If I didn't happen to pass here by chance,
then I would miss a good show.
You! Get out of there right now.
What's this all about?
Caiwei, she's asking you. What's this all about?
You're not sleeping at this hour and instead, you're peeping through another's window and sneaking into another's room.
What are you trying to do?
There are too many men in our fortress.
I'm concerned about the safety of Miss Yurou.
So...I came here to protect her!
I didn't expect you to be so nice.
If you're so nice, then why are you acting suspiciously and stuttering when you talk?
Obviously you're up to no good.
You...
Who said you have the permission to talk?
I wanted to go to the washroom at first;
now that you're punching me, I can't hold it anymore.
But...there is something I want to say to you.
What is it?
I want to say... that you...
are even more manly than the men in our fortress!
You! Jiang Yunfan!
You dare to say that again?
Miss, there is nothing wrong with my health, right?
Chief, your body is very healthy.
In fact, you are more healthy than everyone else.
Now you know why I'm the chief?
Yes! Yes!
My turn now! My turn!
Please be quiet, everyone. Don't fight. If you fight, it'll only take up more time.
Please line up and come forward one by one.
What's line up? Line up? Who wants to line up?
You guys don't line up usually?
We've never lined up before.
How about you teach us how to do it?
Lining up is one standing after another and taking turns one by one.
Don't push! One after another!
-This is called lining up.-Taking turns one by one! One by one!
Fine! I'll line up then!
She can make the hill men listen to her.
Look, your father and Uncle Yongsi all listen to her.
She is really an extraordinary woman. So charming.
Miss Yurou, it's my turn.
Miss Yurou, usually I'm very healthy,
but somehow these days my hands and feet are always cold, and I sweat a lot.
Miss Yurou, did the miasma seep into my body?
No. Actually, you just...have kidney failure.
Hahahahaha!
Miss Yurou, now I finally realize that...
you're not a doctor at all...
You are a miracle!
Dad, I have credit for that!
I'm the one who saved Miss Yurou from the Demon Ape.
That's right. I said that to make you happy.
Chief, you flatter me. I've always been sick,
so that gives me some experience about treatment.
You guys just got sick because of the miasma in the mountain. It's not a serious illness.
Right...that's right. It's the miasma.
This kind of miasma gave us a hard time.
Especially during the summer, when the miasma is strong.
It gives us an even harder time than usual days.
We've asked a few doctors for help.
But they only suppressed the symptoms without actually treating the condition. How about you give us some ideas?
Chief, I pick herbs in mountains a lot,
so I do know the cure for this disease.
However, the fortress doesn't have the herbs that can cure this disease,
so I have to pick them in the mountain. The good thing is I'm planning to pick Phoenix Singing Grass today anyway.
Afterward, chief can make the medicine according to the prescription and let everyone take it.
I believe this problem will be solved.
That's wonderful!
We're counting on you.
How about I go pick the herbs with you?
Well then, it's better to take off earlier than later. Thank you.
Then I'll go with you!
What's the use of you coming with us? You don't have any idea where the Phoenix Singing Grass is.
I don't. You do?
Have you forgotten? I grew up on the Ape Crying Peak.
I know every rock and every tree over there.
But I can help you guys if I go with you. I can protect you!
Caiwei, the way to the Ape Crying Peak is very dangerous.
Taking someone who has no experience with us
would only add to our burden.
Miss Yurou, you know what? I always came here to play when I was younger.
Miss Yurou, come here!
Before I went to the Gale Fortress, I buried three green stones here.
Found them!
For real.
So pretty.
There are so many childhood memories of mine in this forest.
You're still here?
You've grown this tall already?
Before, you were thinner than my arm.
Now you are wider than my waist.
You know what? I often climbed up this tree when I was little.
I'll take you up there.
Tall...
Very tall...
I want to find a herb called Longkui.
This type of herb is very rare. You can only find them by luck.
It has two leaves. One leaf can detox,
while the other one is toxic.
It's both mild and potent.
There is such a magical herb in this world?
It can eliminate evil vent.
Evil vent?
Then what about the herbs we've picked?
Longkui cures the vent from the Nether Land,
not the miasma in the mountain.
Vent from Nether Land?
What are you looking at?
Do you know what would happen if the evil vent gets into your body?
I don't know that.
But since it's vent, I bet it's not as simple as having a headache or having a stomach ache.
You would turn into a monster who is neither human nor ghost.
You've seen it before?
Maybe one day, I would be attacked by this vent,
and turn into someone who is neither human nor ghost.
You're scared when you hear me say that, right?
What are you doing?
I'm going to find Longkui. Didn't you say that Longkui can eliminate the evil vent?
What if a beautiful girl like you gets attacked by the evil vent and turns into a monster?
If you turn into someone who is neither human nor ghost, should you keep on living?
I found it!
Will I see you again?
Will I ever see you again?
Will I?
Mr. Jiang?
Mother, you have me by your side. There will always be hope.
"I will always stay by your side. There will always be hope."
Mr. Jiang, why are you saying this to me all of a sudden?
Your expression a moment ago looked just like my mother's when she was sad.
So it reminded me of what I said to my mother at that time.
I'm sorry.
The herb. I found it.
I wasn't being sad. I was just playing a song.
Miss Yurou, what's the name of the song you just played?
I was just playing for fun. There is no name for it yet.
What a coincidence. Before, this place was full of Phoenix Singing Grass, when wind blew, the grass would sing.
It sounded just like the song that you just played.
Really?
-Then we'll call it...Phoenix Singing Song.-Phoenix Singing Song.
Let's go.
Do you feel that something is not right?
I have that feeling, too.
Is there someone following us?
I don't think so.
I'm overthinking this.
Let's go.
The Demon Ape!
Run!
Quickly, run!
Help!
-Hold my hand.-That's not legitimate...
Quick!
Miss Tang, you're so awesome...
Let's go!
Again?
Yunfan!
Hit it!
Be careful, Yurou!
Yunfan, Longkui is right beside you!
Where is it?
Right beside you!
Quick!
Yurou!
Quick!
Is he an ape or a man?
He's human. He just got attacked by vent.
-By what?-Vent.
I'll explain to you later.
Are you alright?
Sir?
I'm alright. Thank you, Miss.
So that fierce ape was actually a weak scholar.
Let me ask you. Was it fun being an ape, jumping up and down?
Sir, Mr. Jiang is a straight-forward person.
He likes to make jokes. Please don't take it to heart.
It's okay.
Since the vent in your body has been eliminated, you should be fine now.
Yes, should be fine now.
Pardon me... I don't even know your name yet.
My name is Tang Yurou.
Thank you, Miss Tang.
My name is Jiang Yunfan. I'm from the Gale Fortress.
And who are you?
I'm Shangguan Ya.
Never heard of you before.
I will leave now.
Are you sure you can go down the mountain all by yourself?
I've rested for a while. If I walk slowly, I should be okay.
I'll go now.
See you.
Walk slowly!
Be careful! Don't turn into an ape again!
Miss Yurou, what exactly is the vent that you were just talking about?
These vent came from the underworld and entered the human world.
Animals and plants are more likely to be affected by vent.
For example, if a pack of monkey gets attacked by vent, they'll be more likely to become violent and ferocious.
If vent gets into the body of a human, then that person will turn into a monster, just like that man.
If I didn't see vent with my own eyes today, I would have never known how terrifying it was.
You don't have to worry too much.
My teacher taught me some magic that could purify the vent.
You even know magic? You're really something.
Stop flattering me. That's all I know, nothing more.
I'd say Miss Yurou is really something! Really something...
Your hand got hurt?
Miss Yurou, you don't have to worry actually.
My skin is thick. It'll heal in a moment.
You've seen what the vent from the underworld can do. You can't belittle it and lose your caution.
That's right.
But with Miss Yurou by my side, I have nothing to worry about.
You can even handle a giant ape. What's out there to be worried about?
Have you ever heard of the saying "A doctor cannot heal him/herself"?
You are sick(insane)?
You are insane!
How could this happen? The vent on your arm disappeared!
Miss Yurou, I've already told you that I'm a tough man. I often heal without using any medicine
and I've never been sick.
You've never been sick?
That's right.
The only favor I've ever done for my dad since I was a kid was never getting sick.
That saved him a lot of money.
However, I ate a lot.
If you count that in, he still had a loss.
You never get sick. You're really gifted.
Gifted?
Miss Yurou, I'm not bragging.
Ever since I was a kid, be it a little scorpion or a big tiger,
they'll do whatever I say when they see me.
But I never told this to my buddies in the fortress,
because I'm afraid they'll feel inferior.
Mr. Jiang, I discovered that you have a talent of
bragging for three days whenever someone gives you praise.
I'll try to brag for seven days the next time someone gives me praise.
When Miss Yurou was fighting with the Demon Ape,
she suddenly turned around and cried out loud,
"Jiang Yunfan!"
Yunfan... Yunfan...
Caiwei, can you please concentrate and be more serious?
Help me, Yunfan! Yunfan, help me!
It was something like that.
Help me!
When I heard those two words...
I pulled my knife...
and shot out like a cheetah!
Ah!
You actually hit me? Didn't we say this was just acting?
You need someone to beat you up!
-Chief! Yunfan is bullying me!-You just keep bragging!
You think we don't know you?
Saving Miss Yurou? Bullshit!
Exactly! I bet you climbed up a tree
and Miss Yurou saved you instead!
Spit on you! I was thinking that
I must save Miss Yurou no matter what!
Even though Miss Yurou's kungfu is better,
that doesn't mean I should let her fight alone.
Right? How can I let her be injured?
You... You guys see? You see?
I'm injured, too!
You scratched that yourself, right?
You scratched that yourself!
Fan Fan is injured...
and you guys are laughing?
Exactly! What are you laughing about?
But I didn't expect Miss Yurou to be...
so good in kungfu.
My body has always been weak, so I had some training with my teacher.
It was only a few exercises to get healthy.
If Yunfan didn't help me, I could have never fought the Demon Ape alone.
You guys hear that? Hear that? Did I help?
Yes...
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Dad believes in you!
You would never let a girl face danger alone!
Of course!
How can I let a girl face danger alone and let her get injured?
This is a man's ability! Bearing! Courage!
That's right! Well said!
Yes! Well said!
You have finally earned some reputation for your dad!
That's enough, kid. There's nothing much going on in our fortress these days.
How about this? Ma Cheng!
Zhao Ping! Go hunt some game tonight in the mountain.
We'll celebrate.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Brothers, even though...
the ability of me fighting the Demon Ape
was not very good, but my ability to hunt game is outstanding!
Dad! Just leave it to me!
I'm just afraid that I'll hunt too many and you guys won't be able to eat them all!
-Let me tell you!-Kiddo!
You can really brag!
Fine. If you guys want to eat anything, just let him hunt it!
Get me a rabbit!
I want a boar!
I'll have a bear's paw!
-Deer!-Pheasant!
A weak girl actually fought with the Demon Ape...
What is her identity?
I know you! You are that Demon Ape!
-I didn't have any clashes with you. Why are you attacking me?-Stop calling me Demon Ape or else I'll...
You're lucky today. I'll keep you in mind?
What's that all about? Are you insane?
I didn't even see your move and you'd already beaten him down. You're so awesome.
What's your name?
Long You.
I'm Jiang Yunfan.
You saved my life. What can I do for you?
Water. I want water. Give me some cool water and I'll be good.
Water?
Just water?
That's easy. Come with me.
Look, this is the most beautiful waterfall on Ape Crying Peak.
The water here is extremely good.
It's the best.
Cool and soothing.
What do you think? Is it good?
Mr. Long, does the water taste that good?
You can call me Long You.
Okay. Long You, if you feel like that's not enough,
we can go into the water.
-Let's go!-Okay!
It's dry now.
-Thank you for getting rid of that big fish.-So strange.
How come I'm so powerful all of a sudden?
I think fate brought us together.
If you don't mind, how about we make friends with each other?
Okay.
That's so unexpected. I once thought that I could handle everything.
I didn't know that there would be something I can't take care of.
You are really strong already, okay?
You have a handsome face and your kungfu is so good.
Especially when you were hitting that Demon Ape Shangguan...
So awesome! However...we're pretty close.
You are really awesome.
See? See? See? I love people like you!
I'm telling you... If I was a girl,
I'd have already fallen for you.
Thank God you're not.
Of course, I'm not.
But fate did bring us together.
First, I took care of your enemy, then you took care of that big fish.
That means we are meant to be together.
And I feel like you're a really friendly person.
You will definitely accomplish something great in the future.
You have a very unique point of view.
Even though my kungfu is not as good as yours right now,
I believe I will definitely accomplish something great in the future.
With me leading the Gale Fortress,
it will definitely become well-known to the world!
Gale Fortress?
Oh no! I forgot to hunt game! I have to leave now!
Where are you going?
See you next time!
Interesting.
♫ I tried so hard to see through the darkness of night♫
♫But I can no longer understand the brightness of light ♫
♫ I no longer care about what's right and what's wrong ♫
