Everyone is angry with you.
If I hadn't met Eagle King at the hill bottom,
and heard your motives,
I'd still blame you.
Thank you.
Do you miss Miss Zhou?
I feel terrible for deserting her.
But do you regret it?
I don't know what you mean.
Although my mom and dad couldn't marry,
Mom never regretted loving Dad.
I asked this before. Of Zhao Min or Zhiruo,
who truly has your heart?
I...
You needn't answer.
I gave you an example
when I mentioned my mom.
When you fall in love, don't be indecisive.
Look at me. I won't repeat Mom's suffering.
I followed my heart.
What about you?
Actually I admire Zhao Min.
She knows what she wants.
You're the man for her,
so she does everything she can to achieve it,
even risking family ties and making enemies.
I've been avoiding this question...but...
There's nothing you can't tell me.
To be honest,
Zhiruo, I fear and respect.
Fear and respect?
But for Zhao Min...
What?
Zhao Min, I love and hate.
I can't advise you about your love life.
It's up to you
to decide how to handle it.
Forget it for now.
After all,
I should go to E-Mei
and apologize to Zhiruo.
That's essential.
But be firm in your mind.
No use brooding.
Zhirou may forgive you
but she won't forget.
What's wrong?
Someone's following us?
Who'd dare follow Chief Zhang?
Let's go.
Miss Zhao.
I know. I can't go into E-Mei Golden Peak.
I'll wait for you here.
Master Zhang.
I must say something.
Though I used Godfather
to stall your marriage to Zhiruo,
I know that was wrong.
But I did what I had to do.
I don't regret it.
It's only fair you see Zhou Zhiruo.
Whatever the outcome, I'll accept it.
What brings Chief Zhang to E-Mei?
Sister Ding, I came to see Zhiruo.
Nobody here has that name.
Sorry. I came to see Leader Zhou.
Wait there!
Zhiruo, thanks for excusing my behaviour.
Even if I must be a lowly dog,
I'll serve you loyally...
Can you not say lousy things?
Yes. If you dislike hearing it,
I won't say it again.
Song Qingshu, listen.
Letting you into E-Mei doesn't mean I accept you.
Just follow my orders
or I'll kill you.
Don't worry. I'll be careful.
I won't anger you.
Ding MinJun, reporting.
Come in.
What is it?
Leader, Zhang WuJi is here to see you.
- Zhiruo. - Don't come near.
Are you okay?
Don't be hypocritical.
Zhang WuJi, my kungfu is below yours.
I can't kill you.
I'll surpass you one day.
I swear I'll kill you then.
I understand.
You're angry and hate me.
I came firstly to apologize,
secondly to explain about the wedding.
Say no more!
Zhiruo.
The wound you gave my heart can never heal.
You came to hurt me more.
You're wrong. I never meant harm.
I knew it would turn out this way.
I worried and feared
you'd leave me for Zhao Min.
I asked for your promise.
In the end, you decided I don't equal her.
I lost, lost badly.
Zhang WuJi.
You're unscrupulous and evil.
The love I had is dead.
There's no going back.
The Phoenix Crown pearl is crushed.
The red-cloud veil is in tatters.
From now on,
you're my irreconcilable enemy.
Zhiruo.
Bring Song Qingshu here.
Yes.
Qingshu is at E-Mei?
Zhiruo, you hate me now.
I deserve it and won't resent it.
I sinned unforgivably.
I take full responsibility and full blame.
Qingshu greets Leader.
Take a look at this man. Look carefully.
He's Zhang WuJi, our enemy.
Understood.
He's our guest today.
At our happy event, spill no blood.
Happy event?
That's right. I'll marry Song Qingshu today.
You can toast us at our wedding feast.
Marriage is no game, Zhiruo.
Don't be so rash in your anger at me.
- Song Qingshu... - What about him?
You're not the only man
I could marry.
But Qingshu killed Uncle and betrayed WuDang.
Yes.
Song Qingshu would betray anyone
but he won't betray me, Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhiruo, don't do this just to spite me.
Song Qingshu loves me most.
If love means suffering, affection is better.
Zhang WuJi.
Listen to me.
I won't let you badmouth my husband.
So decide if you're leaving
or staying as a guest.
You made your decision so
it's useless to debate it.
I, Zhang Wuji, wish you a long, happy marriage.
Farewell, Zhiruo.
Leader, Zhao Min was seen down the hill.
Zhao Min.
Zhou Zhiruo.
You ruined my life. Die and make me happy!
Who's there?
Zhu Er.
Who are you? You're a ghost, Zhu Er's dead.
Zhu Er, you're alive?
Miss Zhao.
Zhu Er.
- WuJi. - Miss Zhao.
- WuJi. - I worried...
Zhu Er...
What did you say?
Zhiruo just tried to kill me. Zhu Er saved me.
What are you doing?
Checking for fever.
I'm telling the truth.
Impossible. I just got back from E-Mei.
How'd Zhiruo beat me here?
Zhou Zhiruo ran ahead with ginggong.
Okay, even if you're right,
I buried Zhu Er.
How can she resurrect?
Forget it. You don't believe me.
You think I'm crazy.
Ok, forget it, let's go.
Where to?
To Hao Zhou to meet my followers.
Let's go.
Brother A-Niu, you can't see my face like this.
Zhu Er was dead, she was dead.
I saw Zhang WuJi bury her.
Her ghost is seeking me for revenge.
Teacher, I harmed her to obey your order.
Bless me from the grave. Stop Zhu Er haunting me.
- Who is it? - It's Song Qingshu.
Come in.
Zhiruo, Sister Ding said you came back scared.
I was worried. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Why are you still here?
Zhiruo, I want to ask,
were you just mad at WuJi
or serious about our marriage?
Zhiruo, tell me.
Leave now.
Okay...
I'm going...
Why do I waver?
I can't forget that feckless man.
Zhang WuJi jilted me.
To obey Teacher, I can't show mercy.
Song Qingshu.
Sister Ding.
Why was Zhiruo so scared?
Zhiruo wouldn't say.
Anything else?
Yes, do you feel Zhiruo's changed?
Changed? I think not.
Zhiruo forgave my mistake
and said we'll marry.
I'm indebted to her.
I won't see anything negative.
I warn you, she's using you.
Using me?
Yes, to repay Zhang WuJi.
Even so, I'll obey Zhiruo.
Are you a man? You have no integrity.
You're letting Zhirou manipulate you.
You've no idea what I did.
I acted treacherously.
No other place will have me.
I accept an ignoble existence.
I don't care about character or integrity.
- You... - Sister Ding, say no more.
Useless.
Is Zhiruo really using me?
Waiter, bring wine.
Coming. Come in and eat.
Hurry up, waiter.
Where's our food?
Okay, food's coming. Relax.
It's so long...
so long since I had a relaxed meal.
I really mean it.
For so many days, I could barely breathe
with so many problems.
Strangely, today
I feel as if a burden lifted.
Hey, after I left E-Mei,
you didn't ask what happened.
That's unimportant.
I don't have to ask.
I'm a woman.
I know how women feel.
Zhou Zhiruo feels strongly for you.
'Zhao Min, I love and hate.'
'Zhou Zhiruo, I fear and respect.'
You overheard Buhui and me?
Unintentionally.
Well, I'm hopeless at love.
I'm indecisive and muddle up
what's important to me.
Sister Buhui's words pointed that out to me.
That's why I feel relieved
after descending E-Mei hill.
Your burden is lighter
but mine is heavier.
I'll help you bear it.
No. It's better you love and hate me,
and fear and respect Zhiruo.
But it's different now.
I fear and hate you.
You fear and hate me?
Sure.
I hate you for ruining my wedding
and fear you won't repay me.
I admit I went too far,
forcing you to jilt Zhiruo.
But I did it for your good,
firstly to save you,
secondly, as Buhui said,
I know what my heart wants.
I'll go to any lengths...
even if I suffer hardship.
Anyway, what do you want me to repay?
Can I get you more food or drink?
No thanks.
What do I pay you for?
I'll tell you later.
It's all your fault.
Madam, what did I do?
Come later or earlier, not now.
Did you hear what the waiter called you?
What?
Madam, it's late.
Why don't we retire to our room?
Don't be cheeky.
Do I pass the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms
and WuMu Manuals to Qingshu?
But I'm worried Qingshu
won't be loyal, docile and obedient.
I will test him.
Leader.
Who is it?
Can't you knock?
I used to come straight in.
Old habits die hard.
You should remember
I'm E-Mei Leader now.
I'm not the Junior who did your bidding.
Yes.
Leader.
What do you want?
It's mealtime. We're waiting for you.
No-one will eat without you.
I remember Zhirou's kungfu.
I'll ask Grandfather or Grand Teacherwhat it's called.
Master, wash your face.
For a moment I thought it was...
XiaoZhao?
Sorry.
I got called your wife.
I should do wifely duties.
I just copied the waiter
and was only joking with you.
I'm not joking.
Sit down.
I'm used to being served.
My man should be served by me.
I mightn't be as good as XiaoZhao
but you'll get used to it.
What do I say...
now I know your intentions.
You didn't tell me.
I....
Out with it.
What should I say?
What do I pay you for?
You really want to know?
Okay, but first,
admit you broke my fate.
Then tell me...
shouldn't you pay me a honeymoon?
Actually,
when you told me
you lied to your brother about being pregnant,
I saw you in a new light.
You staked your reputation for me.
How can I let you lose?
You didn't say. Will you pay?
No.
I will.
You mean it?
But I must tell my dad
and placate brother, then I will...
If your dad forbids you?
Marry the devil, follow the devil,
be a little devil wife.
Audacious witch,
following rebel Zhang WuJi.
What's our punishment?
Our punishment is to be a happy couple to old age.
When we die, we'll go to Hell, never to be reborn.
Brother A-Niu, you forgot Zhu Er?
Zhao Min is worthy of your love.
I wish you luck.
I've something to tell you.
Ding MinJun, you always oppose me.
I tolerated you
but you stole my JiuYin Zhenjing.
As E-Mei Leader,
I can't let this go.
Sister Zhiruo, no, no...
Leader, I...
I won't act like this again.
I won't.
I swear...
Ding MinJun, you're so stubborn.
It's a bane to keep you.
I won't watch you destroy Teacher's reputation.
Just kill me!
Okay.
You can't, right?
We have ties from years of sisterhood.
Get out.
You're expelled from E-Mei.
Zhou Zhiruo.
That's your weakness...
too soft-hearted.
You'll never succeed.
Song Qingshu.
Zhiruo.
Ding MinJun was right.
You're soft-hearted.
To rule over E-Mei Sect and the entire Wulin,
you must be cruel.
We're a married couple.
I, Song Chingsu, am willing to do
those things you dare not.
Zhiruo, why are you silent?
Am I wrong?
If I'm wrong, I'll accept punishment.
That's right.
Song Qingshu compensates for my weakness.
Leader.
MinJun...
Zhiruo, what's going on?
Ding MinJun stole my secret manual.
My husband punished her for me.
Remove her body. Qingshu, follow me.
Zhiruo has changed.
Her husband did this.
Zhirou is vicious.
Since her mistreatment by Zhang WuJi,
she changed personality.
After all, MinJun is our sister.
18 Dragon Subduing Palms.
Is it Hero Guo Jing's famous kungfu?
That's right.
You're giving it to me?
When you master 18 Dragon Subduing Palms,
we'll hold our wedding.
I'll learn it as fast as I can.
Zhang WuJi, despite your great kungfu,
it can't beat JiuYin Zhenjing
and 18 Dragon Subduing Palms.
I'll find you.
Can you feel it? Something's going on.
Let's see Yhu YuanZhang. He'll know.
Master Zhang.
I know what you'll say.
You're uneasy seeing Ming people.
My dad is fighting Ming Sect. My presence
will be misunderstood.
I'll go alone. Wait here.
I won't be long.
Brother Chang.
Greetings, Chief.
When did you get to Hao Zhou?
Just now. Where is everyone?
At 30-mile outpost, Bai Yang.
How's the war?
Due to Left and Right Envoys...
Speak.
We beat back Prince Ruyang from Hao Zhou.
I'm invited to Shaolin Lion Slaying Assembly.
I'll pass it on.
Shaolin Lion Slaying? Lion slaying?
"Meet on Dragon Boat day at Shaolin"
"to feast with all heroes."
"Lion slaying" isn't written.
I heard Shaolin has Xie Xun.
To settle old feuds,
they invited Sects and Clans
to meet at Shaolin
to publicly kill Lion King.
So it's called Lion Slaying.
Are you sure about this?
I thought something was odd, so I checked.
There's no mistake.
Godfather came with me to Central Plains.
I couldn't protect him.
I let villains catch him
and disgrace him.
The Shaolin Lion Slaying is on Dragon Boat day.
So before the Festival,
Lion King isn't in danger.
We'll go and save Godfather.
My thoughts exactly.
- Brother Chang. - I'll come with you.
Go to Bai Yang, say I'm off to Shaolin.
Envoy Fan, Bat King, Eagle King, follow me.
Envoy Yang, Drifters, Zhu YuanZhang, to Hao Zhou.
Yes.
Brother Song.
You're waiting for me.
What is it?
Sister, you say it.
You and Leader have been practising kungfu.
That's right.
You're training to defeat Zhang WuJi, right?
Yes, my 18 Dragon Subduing Palms
and Zhiruo's JiuYin ZhenJing
should beat Zhang WuJi's JiuYang Shengong
and Qiankun Reversal.
Brother Song, this is our concern.
Leader is targeting Zhang WuJi
but E-Mei must face all Ming Sect.
If you kill Zhang WuJi,
Ming Sect will attack us in force.
With our current strength,
Ming Sect can overpower us.
Brother Song, you formally joined E-Mei.
Please put E-Mei first.
We hope Leader won't destroy E-Mei
by her selfishness.
You're close to Leader. Can you advise her?
We hope Leader's not using you.
Ding MinJun told me the same thing.
Why do you all feel
Zhiruo is using me to defeat Zhang WuJi?
Who are you? Why'd you follow us?
Prince Ruyang sent me to scout out Hao Zhou.
I left the city...
You saw us in the city.
Yes, Princess.
Do you tell my father? Did you?
'pai shan zhang'-Row of Mountains Palm
Monks, what do you want?
Prince Ruyang heard you're hurt. He sent us to get you.
I've recovered. Where's Father?
Father.
I sent men after you. Why aren't you home?
I was told you're hurt.
Yes, I was injured. Zhang WuJi cured me.
After I settle current business,
I'll bring Zhang WuJi to meet you.
So you mean to marry him.
Your brother told me this man Zhang WuJi
is Ming Sect Chief.
Ming Sect is rebelling. I moved troops
to engage Ming Sect in Huai Si.
He's Ming Sect Chief. Think, Minmin.
You can't go with him!
Come home.
- Men! - Yes.
- Take the Princess. - Yes.
Stop there!!
Father.
Concede, or I die here.
Don't be stupid.
You know me well.
Don't force me.
Minmin.
Father, words can't express my feelings.
Please forgive me.
Okay, don't talk. Come with me.
Father, you'll force me?!
Minmin, come with me.
I was unfilial.
I married WuJi secretly.
I will follow him.
If you disagree, I'll die now.
Minmin.
Don't make a scene.
Is it true you're carrying his child?
Yes.
Fine, I won't compel you.
Well...you and Master Zhang come with me.
I'll hold your wedding, and get a son-in-law
and a grandson.
Won't that be best?
Father, you're buying time.
If Zhang WuJi goes with you,
can he keep his life?
I'll follow my husband. In life or death,
I'll follow Zhang WuJi.
Father. Don't force me.
There are two choices.
Watch me die now
or let us go.
Minmin, I've been patient with you.
You're incorrigible.
Father, please let me go.
Minmin, you must understand.
You can follow Zhang WuJi,
but you can't be my daughter anymore.
Think it over.
I give you one more chance.
I feel as if a knife is slicing my heart.
I can't risk WuJi's life. Forgive me.
I won't change my mind.
It's my fault for spoiling you.
I let you roam the Jianghgu.
Now it's come to this.
You were always wilful.
If I force you, you'll kill yourself.
I can't see that happen.
- Monks. - Yes.
- Release Zhang WuJi. - Yes.
Minmin.
Take care of yourself.
I'm leaving now.
You be careful.
Father.
Miss Zhao.
I feel inadequate to repay this great kindness.
You still call me Miss Zhao.
I'm no longer a princess
or a Court member.
You are suffering.
