Who is it?
Young Prince is here to take Fan Yao. Do you want...?
It's not my business.
Minmin.
Seventh Prince wants to execute Fan Yao.
I've no reason to be there.
It's tomorrow.
I'm not going.
You're right. We shouldn't interfere.
Okay, I'm going.
Brother WuJi, did you think it through?
I have. I won't wear Zhao Min's helmet.
Why?
Isn't it against her wish?
I know Zhao Min's wish.
She hopes I won't openly oppose the Court.
I, Zhang WuJi, am Ming Sect Chief.
Yuan Court captured my follower.
I should lead by example,
showing we Hans can't be bullied.
I can't oblige Zhao Min's wish.
Attack!
Zhou Zhiruo.
Senior.
Heaven didn't forsake my plans.
I hurried from Snake Island.
Here you are. Give me the Ring.
- No. - Hand it over.
I gave it to you once. Never again.
Don't blame my hostility.
Sister, I've an urgent task.
I need to finish it first.
Senior, stop or I'll use force.
I know your skill level.
Show your ability.
Protect Master.
Sister, how are you?
Don't bother me.
Go quickly.
Who are you?
I'm saving you, run!
- Chief. - Right Envoy.
What's this kungfu?
I'll tell you back at E-Mei
when I'm formal Leader.
Sister.
Listen, don't speak of what just happened.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Wang Er...
Wang Er.
Father...
Wang Er.
You can't die.
Father...
Listen to me.
You can't die...
You aren't allowed to die!
Wang Er!
Wang Er...
After I left Wan'An,
I came to Dadou rather than Bright Peak.
I stayed in Dadou to keep an eye on the Court.
I worked to help our rebellion.
But a few days ago I was caught by Cheng Kun.
Cheng Kun?
Yes, I was trapped by him.
At the Beggar Clan meeting, Lady Yang mentioned Cheng Kun.
I wasn't sure if he faked his death.
Now I'm sure he's in hiding.
Godfather must've been harmed by him.
Do you know where Cheng Kun is?
I don't. I woke up at Ruyang Palace.
- Zhiruo. - Miss Zhou.
You look bad. What happened?
I'm relieved you're fine.
Zhiruo.
Chief. I'll go.
Brother WuJi, sorry.
I thought you had an accident.
You didn't follow the plan.
Sister Ding found me.
Ding MinJun hurt you? How?
I'm fine, just weak.
Weak? Let's see your pulses.
A great internal energy is developing.
It's my inability to handle the energy from my Teacher.
I'll be fine after a rest.
Chief, how's Miss Zhou?
She's okay.
You and Miss Zhou make a lovely couple.
Who do you think saved you?
She hid her face to conceal her identity.
I believe it was...
- Princess. - Princess.
Great minds think alike.
I don't understand.
Princess hates me. Why'd she help us?
- I know! - What?
She pretended to want my death to help me escape.
Be discreet. Let no-one see you.
Yes.
Father.
What's happening?
It's an Imperial Order to go to the palace.
What's the matter?
It's Seventh Prince.
Seventh Prince? What about?
Is he pressuring you again?
No.
Today Fan Yao killed Young Prince.
Seventh Prince couldn't handle the shock
and collapsed.
Seventh Prince is very ill?
He nearly died.
It's such a shame.
His wife died.
Now he must face his son's death.
Father, did you find out who freed the prisoner?
A youngster who was masked.
I think that's why the Emperor's order came.
Sister, I apologize to you
for what happened.
You had to obey Seventh Prince. I don't blame you.
That's good.
I worried it would harm our relationship.
Fine, I'll go to the palace.
It's strange.
I can't dispel the energy build-up at 'dan tian' acupoint.
Either I learned JiuYin Zhenjing poorly
or my neigong is too low to dispel it.
Well, I'll ask Zhang WuJi about it later.
How did I end up here?
Can't I forget Zhao Min? Can't I let it go?
Why are you here?
I.....
I was just walking. I didn't expect you.
You're expecting somebody?
No.
I just recalled drinking with you here twice.
I asked for an extra setting.
Since I'm here,
I may as well join you.
Thank you.
What for?
The masked hero who rescued Fan Yao...
It proved beneficial
to both our goals.
Let me.
We seem like strangers.
Is it true?
I read your letter
about your betrothal with Zhou Zhirou.
Is it true?
I won't deceive you.
I thought she was uncultured
but there's more to her than meets the eye.
That's your opinion of Zhiruo...
I don't want to hear your opinions of her.
Second hand views aren't reliable.
People are often misled.
Yes, it's easy to misunderstand worldly matters.
Time will show the truth.
I'm afraid by the time the truth is known,
I'll already be dead.
You thought Zhiruo was evil.
Miss Zhao.
I hate...
I hate the fact I was born Mongolian...
and became your enemy.
It's Heaven's cruel joke.
Miss Zhao.
I shouldn't be here...
shouldn't be meeting you.
I am betrothed.
I should forget you.
You are a Princess.
I hope...
you'll be able to forget me.
This is my bite mark?
Even with your good kungfu and medical knowledge,
you can't remove this scar.
If you can't remove the scar from your hand,
how can I remove the scar from my heart?
Zhiruo...
Why don't you chase your betrothed?
Zhang WuJi, you really chased her.
I hate you, I hate you.
Miss Zhou.
Zhang WuJi, how could you do that to me, how could you!
Because I like you...love you,
I'll break my oath and disobey Teacher
to be with you.
But you dare...you dare!
Chief.
- Where's Miss Zhou? - In the room.
Zhiruo.
Zhiruo. It's me.
- Zhirou! - Chief.
Something's wrong.
Zhiruo.
Miss Zhou, what's wrong?
Why'd you hang yourself?
Zhiruo...
Why'd you save my life? Let me die.
Zhiruo, you misunderstood.
You pretended to part
and met her on the sly.
You say I misunderstood?!
I didn't arrange to meet her.
We met accidentally.
I can't ever believe you,
can never believe you!
I told Zhao Min about our betrothal.
I made it clear.
Why'd she hold your hand intimately?
I saw it myself. What can you say?
I....
I know you miss her.
In your mind,
I don't measure up to Zhao Min. Right?
It's hard to explain what happened today.
Can you let my actions prove my sincerity to you?
What do you mean?
Let's go to Bright Peak.
To avoid misunderstandings,
we'll marry publicly
so everyone knows we're husband and wife.
This is from my heart.
- I'm back. - Father.
Why are you back so late?
After leaving the palace,
I visited Seventh Prince.
How is he?
I'm afaid he's dying.
I promised Seventh Prince
to catch whoever rescued the prisoner.
Father, any ideas?
Fan Yao's two rescuers must be Ming Sect masters.
To find out their identity, we must raid Ming Sect.
Father, I'm willing...
Don't concern yourself.
I ordered a city search for Ming Sect.
Father, why'd the Emperor summon you?
In Huai Bei,
Ru Yuan has now fallen to Ming Sect troops.
The Emperor resinstated me as Military Commander
to quell the rebels in 3 months.
Great! Father, we'll show our ability!
- Chen Youliang. - Your Highness.
We can fight by knowing the enemy's tactics.
I want you to check
rebel bases at once.
By your command.
Innkeeper.
I'm busy.
Sir, this is...
Tell me.
What did the lady tell you just now?
She was seeking a customer named Zeng.
- Zeng? - Yes, Zeng.
Not Zhang? Was I wrong?
I told that lady he left earlier.
Brother WuJi.
What are you thinking?
Nothing...
Zhao Min helped rescue Fan Yao, didn't she?
You won't feel right leaving Dadou
without letting her know.
Zhiruo, to be honest,
you're right.
But I was thinking, now I decided to marry you,
I must part with Zhao Min.
Rest, then we'll go.
I.....
You've something to say?
I don't want you to feel
my suicide bullied you into this.
If you change your mind, I won't blame you.
I won't.
I know you won't, but...
It's about Zhao Min?
I must say this.
I have misgivings about her.
Zhao Min keeps involving you.
You're not fickle, but...she's smart, has good kungfu,
is prettier and more skilled.
I fear I can't compete with her.
Zhiruo, stop this.
WuJi, let me speak.
I really thought about it.
I'd rather die than live broken-heartedly.
But...
I died once already.
I can't face dying again.
I...
I want to be a nun like Teacher.
After all...
no E-Mei leader ever married.
You think too much.
We're a betrothed couple
under Godfather's witness.
I promise you a big wedding at Bright Peak.
Don't doubt my sincerity.
What is it now?
We haven't found Godfather. What's more,
you deferred raising a family until Yuan is gone.
Anything could happen at Bright Peak.
I must look for Godfather.
At Bright Peak, I'll gather the brothers
for an easier search.
Nobody knows when Yuan Court can be deposed.
So we'll be an old man and old woman
when we marry.
It's fine to marry in old age, but we can't get children.
Then I'll have no heirs.
You're a naive man.
How'd you get so glib?
Don't think so much.
Let's go.
Welcome, Chief.
Brothers, as your Chief, I'm shamefully seldom here.
Under Envoy Yang,
Ming Sect raised rebellion,
gained the people's trust,
and improved its reputation.
I thank Envoy Yang for his hard work.
I returned to Bright Peak for some matters.
First, circulate orders for all Ming Sect
to search for Godfather.
I'll attend to it.
He disappeared in Tian Lui
after our return from Snake Island.
I suspect he was caught by Cheng Kun.
Cheng Kun? Cheng Kun's alive?
In the Six Sects attack on Bright Peak,
Cheng Kun faked death.
Envoy Yang, he hid as Yuanzhen in Shaolin.
Assign someone to check at Shaolin.
I can do that.
Another matter...
I decided...
I decided to marry Zhou Zhiruo of E-Mei.
Congratulations, Chief.
Zhiruo.
Chief. 15th March is an auspicious day,
with time for wedding preparations.
Zhiruo, what do you think?
You decide.
Okay. Make it 15th March.
This is the name list for the feast.
I don't want grandeur.
Just invite WuDang and E-Mei.
No. You said you'd marry me publicly.
Now you...
Fine, as you wish.
Envoy Yang, don't ask me. You decide.
Yes.
I can't believe Zhirou's doing this.
But he's Evil Sect chief.
What's the matter?
Zhiruo is getting married.
Ming Sect sent this invitation.
MinJun, what are you doing?
MinJun.
Zhou Zhiruo has betrayed E-Mei!
Teacher hated Ming Sect most.
But she dares marry the Evil Sect chief.
It's improper!
Pass an order. Nobody may attend the wedding.
- MinJun. - Did you hear?
As a member of E-Mei Sect, go on your knees now.
Swear it!
I don't know what to say.
Alright. Listen.
Say: I, Zhou Zhiruo, solemnly vow...
if I ever fall in love with Zhang WuJi...
or become his wife,
my late parents won't rest in death.
My Teacher Miejue's ghost will haunt me.
If I bear Zhang WuJi any children,
all the boys will be slaves,
all the females will be prostitutes.
Swear it!
I won't regret it, I won't.
I won't regret it!
Zhirou!
Zhiruo, what's going on?
I quarrelled with Teacher.
WuJi, don't abandon me.
I'll do as I should. I won't abandon you.
I love you sincerely.
I'll marry you sincerely.
I won't abandon you.
I'll make you happy...
Chief.
WuDang Zhang SanFeng arrived.
- WuJi greets Grand Teacher. - Stand...
I greet Venerable Zhang.
- What did you call me? - Grand Teacher.
Good. See what I brought you.
E-Mei Leader, Ming Sect Chief.
Blessings on your marriage.
'Good husband, good wife' (jia er jia fu)
Thank you, Grand Teacher.
WuJi, congratulations.
I copied a scripture for you.
It's my favourite.
Thanks, First Uncle, Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle,
for travelling so far.
How could we miss it?
- Wuji, congratulations. - Thanks.
I'll go see Dad.
- Sixth Brother. - I'll follow soon.
Where's my grandson?
In-law Zhang, you're here before me!
Only just...only just.
Greetings, Grandpa, Uncle.
WuJi, I hit you hard. Do you resent me?
I won't dare.
WuJi, treat her well
after you marry her.
Yes.
If WuJi treats you badly,
find me, I'll help you.
Thanks, Grandpa.
WuJi, come aside.
WuJi, A-Li's not around?
While I recuperated from Xuanming poisoning,
I thought about my faults.
We're dad and daughter. Why are we at enmity?
I reflected on it. I want to fetch A-Li home
and start again.
Why don't you respond?
Uncle. Cousin A-Li...
What? What's wrong with her?
She died at Snake Island.
Uncle.
It's retribution!
When I want to be a good father,
Heaven makes me pay for my past sins.
Tell me how she died?
I'm still trying to find out.
Listen, when you find out,
tell me directly.
I understand.
What's wrong? Feeling bad?
Minmin.
I need to talk to you.
Things are looking up for me.
I can't lose this chance.
Minmin, I won't expect your help.
Just don't undermine me. Understand?
Dad, why'd you say that?
You're my daughter.
I know how you think.
From the melody, you can't forget Zhang WuJi, right?
If you're as reckless as last time,
don't blame me for not turning a blind eye again.
Minmin, hear what I said?
I know what to do.
That's good.
Brother WuJi, for you.
Silk pillows I sewed myself.
It's great.
I didn't know you're so skilled.
You don't know lots about me.
I must thank you for your help last time.
It's strange to thank each other.
Chief, I must go.
Fine, you go.
Okay, I can chat.
Buhui, how are you and Sixth Uncle?
Good, he treats me well.
But...
Worried about your dad?
Sixth Brother and I want to marry.
Sixth Brother is asking Dad now.
I'm afraid dad will refuse.
- Can you help me? - I...
So, will I consent?
Say it straight out if you won't.
Envoy Yang.
You want me to be direct?
Then I'll tell you I'm really unwilling
to give you my daughter.
Your age difference is why I'm opposed.
But if I decide on my feelings,
I fear Bu'Er might kill herself.
I'm Bu'Er's only relative.
I was never a good father
due to my Ming Sect position.
What right do I have to reject Bu'Er's choice?
Anyway, when I met XiaoFu,
I knew you were betrothed.
I stole your love.
XiaoFu's death burdened me.
I can't repeat that mistake.
I can only bless you both.
Hero Yin.
I'm not repaying my debt
by giving you my Bu'Er.
I warn you,
if you bully my Bu'Er,
I'll go to WuDang and kill you.
It won't happen. I'll love her forever.
Fine, after Chief's wedding, I'll attend your feast.
Thank you, Envoy Yang.
Dad.
This is the scar where I bit you.
Even with your good kungfu and medical knowledge,
you can't remove this scar.
One is my dad.
The other, my love.
Why must I be torn between them?
Why's it so confusing?
Sister...
Sister.
What's wrong, brother?
I have something for you.
He's marrying Zhou Zhiruo.
