[ Ruyang Palace ]
Clothes and a lot of money.
Going on a long trip?
Where were you going with Zhang WuJi?
Whatever I ask, you won't tell me.
Seventh Prince stipulated the date of the 27th.
It's two weeks away, yet you planned a long trip?
Father, didn't you promise to decline this marriage?
You promised me
to eliminate Zhang WuJi and Ming Sect. Did you?
I.....
This matter escalated.
Wan'An burned down. The Six Sects fled.
I might lose my rank as an official.
I'll settle it and wipe out the rebels myself.
Father.
It's been decided.
Stay obediently at home.
Prepare for your wedding.
Father...
Zhang WuJi?
How long have you been here?
For a while.
So you overheard Father and me talking?
I came to tell you I turned up.
I saw your dad take you away at East Gate.
So you were late?
It was a pact, so I...
Late is better than not at all.
You risked coming here to clarify it.
Enough. I'm content.
I don't need these, just more money.
- What are you doing? - Going with you.
- But your marriage... - I won't marry him.
Princess...
Don't meddle in my affairs.
Fulfil your promise to me.
XiaoZhao.
Master.
Why are you outside?
Song Qingshu...
What happened to him?
He insisted on looking for Miss Zhou.
I couldn't stop him.
Brother Song is infatuated with Zhiruo.
Your relationships are complex.
Let's go before Father discovers I'm missing.
It's E-Mei.
Something's wrong. Let's look.
Okay.
Granny Golden Flower?
Zhu Er!
Zhu Er...?
Zhu Er is Yin Li, my cousin. I see she's back with Granny.
Her facial scars are due to unorthodox kungfu.
Granny Golden Flower, why are you blocking our way?
You're not qualified!
I'm looking for your Teacher, Miejue.
Teacher...
Teacher passed away.
What? She passed away?
How'd she die?
Why didn't she wait to see me?
What a pity...
Granny...
Did you hear? Granny asked
how your teacher died.
Why's it your business? Why should I answer?
Granny, are you alright?
The only duel I ever lost
was with your Teacher.
But my kungfu wasn't inferior.
I was defeated by Heaven Sword.
The win was unworthy.
I'm an old lady but I travelled around.
I finally found an old friend to lend me Dragon Sabre.
- Dragon Sabre.. - Shh, listen.
We found out Miejue was trapped in Wan'An.
We didn't expect Wan'An to be in ruins.
Meijue, couldn't you die a day later?
If Teacher was alive,
she'd still defeat you.
'zhi dong da shi'-aim east, strike west
Watch your words! A slap for you!
Elder, you...
How'd your teacher die?
Forget it.
It doesn't matter. No point asking now.
Who's the new E-Mei Leader?
I'll duel with her.
Priestess Miejue, you were a hero.
You were outstanding in the Wulin.
Now you've passed away,
is no disciple able to succeed you?
I, Jingxuan, pay my respects to Elder.
You're the new Leader?
Before Teacher died,
she appointed Junior Zhou as successor.
But many in our Sect disagree.
The duel isn't possible.
What else can we say?
In future you can meet the Leader we elect.
Enough nonsense.
A new Leader was appointed.
Who's Zhou Zhiruo? Step out!
Junior Zhiruo...
Carry on.
Granny, Zhiruo left E-Mei due to internal matters.
I don't care.
I can't waste this trip.
Since there's no E-Mei Leader,
I'll wipe you out one by one.
Hold on, Granny!
Zhiruo?
Your Miss Zhou courts doom.
E-Mei 4th generation Leader, Zhou Zhiruo,
paying respects.
Shameless!
She has the cheek to call herself E-Mei Leader!
Sister Zhou is nice.
When you detained me at Bright Peak, she took care of me.
She's a more qualified Leader than you.
You can't rebuke me!
Senior.
Who are you to champion her?
A-Li!
Granny.
What did I teach you? Watch!
Learned it?
Yes, Granny.
Please spare her.
Sister Zhou, Ding denies your right to be Leader.
Why are you shielding her?
It's E-Mei business.
Despite my low skills, I can't let E-Mei be bullied.
Good. Very good.
Well done.
Granny, are you alright?
Take a pill.
Young lady.
Your skills are shoddy.
How could E-Mei leadership be assigned to you?
It's doubtful. Are you boasting?
I.....
What's the Leader's token?
- The Iron Ring. - The E-Mei Leader's ring?
I can't see it.
Granny! It's her!
She has the Ring!
So you're E-Mei's Leader!
Granny, kill her!
Kill her!
No, no...!
I'm not!
She, she...Zhou Zhirou is!
I know I'm young and lacking.
When Teacher gave me this duty,
I prepared to lay down my life.
Very well. Miejue made a brilliant choice.
Your kungfu is weak, but your character is strong.
Well done...
Your kungfu can be improved,
but they can't improve their weak characters.
What are you doing?
Zhiruo didn't resent Senior Ding.
She defended Ding from you and upheld E-Mei's name.
We'll die with Leader Zhou.
If you had 10 times more people,
it won't bother me.
Young lady, how do E-Mei skills compare with mine?
Ours are better.
Did you forget Teacher defeated you?
I only lost because of Heaven Sword.
Was that a fair fight?
Granny, tell me honestly.
If Teacher had fought you empty handed,
who'd have won?
That I don't know.
I wanted to spar with her today.
A pity she died.
The Wulin lost a Master.
She has no equal.
That's the end of E-Mei Sect.
Are you satisfied, young lady?
Granny, Teacher's kungfu is profound.
We're not Granny's match
but our future progress is unlimited.
Alright.
I shall leave now.
Wait till you attain that level,
then unblock their acupoints.
Wait, Granny!
Please save my Seniors.
Getting my help is easy.
In future, whenever you bump into me or my disciple,
E-Mei members must give way to us.
If I agreed, I'd compromise E-Mei's dignity.
Since you insist on E-Mei's reputation, forget it.
Zhou Zhiruo, lend me Heaven Sword
and I'll unseal their acupoints.
Yuan's dirty tricks trapped us in Wan'An.
Granny, how could the Sword still be with us?
I expected this.
I only had a slight hope.
Zhou Zhiruo, you want me to save them?
I do want that.
I'll save them to preserve E-Mei prestige,
but you can't keep your life.
'gut-breaking, heart-cracking'
It's 'duan chang lie xin' poison.
Take it and I'll save them.
Idiot. It's a fake.
Good. You have guts.
But it won't take effect immediately.
Young lady, come with me.
If I'm happy, I might give you the antidote.
- A-Li! - Granny.
- Unseal their acupoints. - Yes.
Miss Zhou, you'd better come. Granny won't harm you.
Granny, you old hag!
Shut up!
- You... - Sister.
Safe journey, Leader.
Leader, take care.
- After them! - Wait! Zhirou is safe.
Your Godfather's safety is urgent.
Godfather?
Granny said an old friend
will lend her Dragon Sabre to fight Miejue.
She did say that.
If I'm right, she's going to Fire-Ice Island.
We must precede her
or Granny will bully your Godfather.
Let's go.
Seventh Prince.
Seventh Prince. Minmin didn't elope.
Didn't elope? Fine, let me ask.
Zhang WuJi is Ming chief.
Minmin must capture him.
Why'd she let him go east?
- Aren't they eloping? - I don't know.
How long's she been gone?!
About 6 hours.
See. See!
My son knows your daughter's movements
better than you do!
Of course, Minmin is your child.
You dote on her, pamper her, and are lenient with her.
But this isn't trivial.
It concerns the fate of Yuan dynasty.
Chaghan, you know how grave this is!
I am aware. Seventh Prince, please support me.
I'm willing. I'd like to.
But I'm in no position to do so.
Seventh Prince...
I know what's on your mind.
You'll say we're in-laws.
In-laws?
But we're not in-laws yet...
unless they marry on the 27th. So easy.
Won't I help my daughter-in-law?
Can I refuse to help relatives?
But I can't help.
We don't know where Minmin is. This marriage...
- I'll get her back. - Good.
Very good.
You said it. Fine.
- I'll give you a day. - A day?
A day is enough.
If you're serious, she'll stand here tonight.
Yes, Your Highness.
Chaghan...
I'll say this now.
If I don't see Minmin by noon,
I'll act officially.
Why walk so fast?
It's so hot. Let's rest.
Someone thinks I won't notice trail signs.
Granny, I told you someone was watching out for us.
We should work out a strategy to get Dragon Sabre.
That's good foresight.
- You guided me. - Stop fawning.
Who's behind us?
Granny asked a question.
If you won't answer, she'll withhold the antidote.
Sister Zhou.
When the poison works, it'll deform your face.
You'll be hideous!
Answer.
It's Zhang WuJi.
Zhang WuJi?
Isn't he Zeng A-Niu?
Zhang WuJi?
I noticed that lad at Butterfly Valley.
A pity he refused to come to Snake Island.
I judged him well.
He eventually became Ming Sect chief.
What about the lady?
She's XiaoZhao.
I mean the other one.
Zhao Min, the Ruyang princess.
- It's so hot! - XiaoZhao, come.
It's really hot! Let's rest.
It's so hot! I'll soak my legs.
Didn't I say to take a horse carriage,
but you were afraid to lose Granny.
Master, want water?
I'm fine. You have it.
- Take a rest. - It's alright.
Master...
Master, look!
It's like Miss Zhou's outfit.
Let me look.
It is! I've kept a lookout.
Miss Zhou knows we're following, and left this.
Your Miss Zhou is smart.
What's that?
It's a hanky. As a child, Miss Zhou took care of me
at Han River.
Let me see it.
You kept it?
I carry it on me.
You're really sentimental to keep her hanky.
Master...
Where'd you throw it?
Here!
You refused when I asked you to come down to the water
but you ran into the water for this cloth.
I'm not her match!
I detest you...
It's itchy! I detest you, Zhang Wuji!
Master, quick, get out.
I'm hungry. I'll get food.
Master, Princess left.
Enjoy your meal.
Didn't you over-order? How can we finish it?
XiaoZhao, eat well. My treat.
Master, your favourite.
What are you doing? I'm paying.
Master Zhang.
My clothes are dirty. I'll go change.
You eat with Miss Zhao.
Yes, Master.
Princess, are you angry with Master?
Was I too petty?
Or am I jealous of that woman?
Princess, what do you mean?
XiaoZhao, are Han women more reserved?
From what I know of their traditions,
if a Han woman's body is seen by a man,
she must stay with him.
Is that true?
I suppose so.
You suppose? You're not a Han?
I asked the wrong person!
XiaoZhao, you've been with Master a while, right?
You manage his daily needs?
You're close, so you talk about most things?
I guess so.
Has he mentioned me?
- Yes. - Yes?
What did he say?
XiaoZhao!
Princess, you want the truth?
Truth of course!
Then, Princess, you can't be angry.
No, I won't, I won't.
Master says you're crafty, decisive, cunning...
That doesn't interest me.
I knew he'd criticize me.
What I want to know is...
What?
If he's fond of me?
Between me and Zhiruo,
who's higher in his heart?
You're saying you're fond of Master?
If I weren't fond of him,
he'd be killed many times!
XiaoZhao, you didn't answer.
Stay still!
Where's Zhang WuJi?
Brother!
Father sent out search notices for you.
I finally found you. Come with me.
I won't go.
Sister, don't be hard on me.
You're being hard on me!
I'm ordered to bring you back.
Don't force me to hurt you!
You...
Seventh Prince will act officially if you don't go.
Act against who? Father?
How could he oppose Father?
Come with me.
No way!
I must use violence.
You...!
Brother, I'm sorry. XiaoZhao, let's go.
Yes.
Let's go.
Yes.
After them!
Quickly...
Quick...
Go!
Your brother's gone. Where's XiaoZhao?
XiaoZhao? She was behind me.
Where's Qiankun Manual?
Where's the Sacred Fire Token?
You were at Bright Peak over a month.
You accomplished nothing
and even let Zhang master Qiankun Reversal
so he became Ming Sect chief.
Are you helping him?
Did you fall in love with Zhang WuJi?
You still have your bad habit of not answering!
Take this.
It's 10 Fragrance Powder.
Make sure Zhang WuJi eats it.
Zhang WuJi is my bait to get Dragon Sabre from Xie Xun.
I won't pursue what's past.
If you fail your mission, never see me again!
Go before Zhang WuJi gets suspicious.
Granny, she...
What about her? Don't meddle.
How's XiaoZhao related to Granny?
Why'd Granny seek her out?
What are you thinking?
I'm wondering if we're going farther?
It's dark. How can we go on?
Stay here. Bring Zhou Zhiruo.
XiaoZhao!
XiaoZhao.
Where'd you go? I was worried.
I got lost. You really worried?
Sure did! He was in a sweat.
He insisted on waiting for you.
I'm glad you're fine.
Let's find a place for tonight.
Master, wash.
You're tired. Sleep early.
I'll pour your tea.
Sure.
Princess asked me a question.
What was it?
She asked if you like her,
and if she or Miss Zhou is higher in your heart?
Master?
It's a long day ahead. Rest.
Okay.
Zhao Min is artful but kind hearted.
Zhou Zhiruo is gentle and virtuous.
XiaoZhao is thoughtful and attentive.
Zhang WuJi, Zhang WuJi...
Because of you, I rejected Prince Zhayadu.
I might offend Seventh Prince.
Are you worth it all?
They're all nice to me.
Why am I thinking this?
Mom said a pretty lady lies.
I have many tasks to do.
Relationships need deferring.
A man must be kind, responsible and trustworthy, like him.
Why think so much?
He's the one. No regrets.
[ Ruyang Palace ]
Father.
I don't blame you...
I don't blame you.
Given Minmin's nature,
I doubt I'd get her back either.
Seventh Prince arrived.
- Is it noon? - Yes.
Respects, Seventh Prince.
No formality. Where's Minmin?
My son...
I won't hear the process.
I'll only hear the outcome.
Minmin isn't back.
- Men! - Here.
- Seize Chaghan Temur! - Yes.
- No! - Seventh Prince! - Father!
Chaghan Temur, by Imperial orders,
I strip you of your Commander-General title.
I'll take over army command and quell unrest.
I want an audience with the Emperor!
You'll see him after three rounds of hearings.
You're too heartless.
You plotted against me over Minmin's marriage.
- It was because... - Enough!
There's no negotiation.
I gave him leeway.
He didn't take it. What choice do I have?
I'm not responsible.
Men. Lock him up!
Seventh Prince, you're too much...
- Stand aside! - Father!
Son, is Minmin the only one you want?
She's the woman of my life.
What if she rejects you?
I prefer shattered jade to pottery.
Don't worry. You'll get your way.
I'll make Minmin marry you. Don't worry.
What's the matter?
I feel uneasy.
Let's rest.
I want to go home.
Master, look.
Let's go.
Sir, what did those women want?
To rent a sea boat.
When's the boat go?
When the crew arrives. You want a boat?
Three extra helmsmen.
Are you sure?
I've only ever hired out one helmsmen.
No discussion.
- Is it a deal? - Of course.
Meal time...
I'm used to feasts.
This is interesting.
What are you doing?
XiaoZhao's not around.
Eat.
How many days now?
I'm sure you had a chance to spike his food.
You held back.
Let me warn you, XiaoZhao.
Before the boat docks at Snake Island,
I want Zhang WuJi stripped of internal strength.
Snake Island? Not Fire-Ice Island?
Don't ask so much. Do your job.
Yes.
XiaoZhao...
It's been hard on you.
I lured Zhao Min here.
Her Heaven Sword,
with Xie Xun's Dragon Sabre,
when joined together,
will let us command the world.
We swallowed our pride for years.
We can't waste our efforts now.
Sister Zhou, time to eat.
Are you alright?
What would be wrong?
I was worried you're seasick.
I grew up on the sea.
How couldn't I cope?
Don't worry.
You'll come to no harm.
Granny won't be hard on you.
If you follow her wishes, you'll be fine.
I hope so.
Alright, don't ponder.
Eat before it goes cold.
Thank you.
