~ Episode 10 ~
It was really hard to find you.
For what matter are you looking for me?
We aren't that close.
Hero, spare my life. Does this work?
Hero, spare my life.
By the rules of Jianghu,
beg and you should be forgiven.
What rules of Jianghu? Yours or mine?
Don't mind if it's your rules or my rules.
As long as you promise not to kill me,
I'll tell you now the whereabouts of those three men you are looking for.
Okay.
Where are they?
Hey, this is an agreement. Okay?
You must promise that you'll let me go first
and I'll tell you where they are.
Hurry and say it!
You agreed then.
Clouds Harbor.
Clouds Harbor?
Yes.
Okay then. I'll be going now.
We won't leave without seeing each other.
Wait.
Do you know the rules or not?
I already begged for forgiveness. I'm going now.
If it's based upon the rules of Jianghu,
how am I suppose to count that canon that you fired on me?
- What is our relationship?
- You're getting off the main point. I'm leaving then.- Don't move!
What item do you still have to exchange for this?
Let me tell you. If I dig out the Magic Star, you must let me go.
It's not here.
None. I can't find it anymore.
Where is it?
Lord Qian... Hero Qian...
Master Qian, can we rest for a while?
I really can't walk further anymore.
How about let's change for a while?
You ride the horse and I'll walk at the back.
Then forget it. Forget it.
It's good to walk. It's good to walk.
This... This chain is too tight. I can't breathe.
Won't it get loose if you just cut off your head?
Forget it. Forget it.
Really, when will you release me?
After you've told me where the Magic Star is.
Don't give me incessant nonsense.
I don't have any.
How could I have a Magic Star?
Let's not talk about Magic Stars for now.
I'm hungry.
Okay. There's a house in front.
Go ask where we can get something to eat.
We have no money.
Weren't you a mountain bandit before?
Do you still need money to eat?
These are two different things.
We bandits are very keen on rules.
- Let's not eat then.- Don't.
I'll go. I'll go. I'll go.
Is there anyone home?
Anyone?
You are...?
I just passed by.
Who is it?
Just want to rest here for a while and ask for something to eat.
Really so sorry.
Look. My wife will soon give birth.
We also don't have much food inside our home.
Here... is water.
You two drink some water first.
I'm about to deliver.
Midwife! Midwife! Hurry!
Coming. Coming.
Let's get inside the house.
Slowly.
Older Bro Wang and his wife are really so blissful. Isn't that so?
If I am able to live a life like this,
I won't even exchange it for a mountain of gold.
Speaking honestly, we both have a hard life.
You are an assassin while I am a bandit.
We look free and easy, isn't that so?
But the truth is we live in danger.
Maybe one day...
we won't be able to see the next day's sun.
It was your own choice to be a mountain bandit.
What's the use of saying those words now?
Why did I become a mountain bandit?
Who is born a mountain bandit?
Why indeed did I become a bandit?
I remember that when I was little, my mother and I were chased by our enemies.
I hid into a village.
Our days were initially quite peaceful.
During my thirteen-year-old winter,
who knew there came a group of bandits.
I resisted vigorously,
yet I got abducted up to the mountains.
Then where did your mother end up afterwards?
When I escaped and went down the mountain to find my mother,
they had pushed her down the cliff.
That's why I must offer those bastards' head to my mother!
But a dead person can't be revived.
If not because my enemies sought revenge,
why would I end up being a bandit?
Don't talk about me anymore. How about you?
Is your mother still alive?
Does she know that you're an assassin now?
She has delivered! She has delivered! My wife...
My wife has bore me a son!
Have you given him a name?
None yet. I just gave him a nickname for now.
I'll just look for a fortune teller to give him a name later.
You two must be hungry already, aren't you?
I have some chicken eggs inside my house.
I prepared it for my wife.
I'll go get some for you two to eat.
Here. Don't be courteous.
Please.
I won't entertain you two anymore.
I'll go look at my son first.
Congratulations. Congratulations.
Untie me and I'll go help them.
What does someone having a child have to do with you?
Moreover, the child has just been born.
We are people with very strong murderous spirit.
It is better to stay far away.
Let's go. Let's go catch wild rabbits.
King Black Dragon, that princess girl looks so weak.
Is she really a demon exterminator that's way stronger than you?
If I hadn't personally seen it,
I wouldn't believe it, either.
A demon exterminator is the same as an ordinary person before the age of 15.
When I was in the Royal Palace that day,
it happened be her 15th birthday;
so I was fortunate to see her moment of showing her demon exterminator power.
But right then, she hadn't been awakened yet.
The doughtiness of her body wasn't stirred up.
She actually didn't know who she was.
But I can sense the extreme power inside her.
Too bad. I wasn't able to bring her back that time.
I'll go look for her now.
Hey, do you only know to wait there to eat?
Don't you know to come over and help?
I'm skilled in robbery.
But hunting, I really don't know how to do it.
If you asked me to make a fire,
don't you believe that I might burn everything here in a short time?
Then what can you do?
Eat.
Hey, say...
I already told you my secrets.
You should tell me your secrets, too, right?
Sure. What do you want to know then?
Any. Just tell me what you want to say.
What if I tell you that I actually don't like being an assassin?
Would you believe me?
Actually, the most cruel aspect for an assassin
is that even if you've won a thousand times,
it doesn't guarantee that you'll definitely win the next time
because you can never afford to lose your life.
Aren't you doing well now?
My everyday right now is just borrowed
because ten years ago, I had already died once.
At that time, just for a huge amount of reward,
I had an armageddon with a Dongying citizen.
We fought for three days and three nights.
Lord Yi Shou, just surrender.
You're already too weak to fight.
Surrender?
We can talk about it if you kill me right now.
How did you do it?
I came out of retirement because of that person.
Where did he bring you?
It was a branch of the Department of Heaven Strategy at Shuzhong.
I cured my wounds there.
After my wounds got better,
I helped them organize some information there.
I also learned to play the zither around that time.
For them, I was just a person from beyond the border.
When I wanted to look for my benefactor,
after my wounds were completely healed,
the rebellion in the Department of Heaven Strategy happened unexpectedly.
Any place related to the Department of Heaven Strategy
was all dissolved.
As they say, when the tree falls, the monkey will scatter.
There was none available to ask for information at that time.
After thinking thoroughly, I realized that I could only do one thing.
What did you do?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Why did you do that?
I wanted everyone to know the truth behind the Rebellion of the Department of Heaven Strategy.
The Department of Heaven Strategy wasn't a group of criminals.
Thus, there must be some secret behind it.
Too bad. People in this world only believe what they want to believe.
They don't really care about what the truth is behind things.
You said it right.
Thus, I can only rely on myself.
Since this matter started with the Magic Stars,
if we find the scattered Magic Stars,
maybe we can track down the truth
by following them.
So, this is the real reason of you coming out of retirement. Right?
No matter if my benefactor is alive or not,
I must get a result.
Or else, the knot in my heart will never be untied.
But there are a lot of things in this world
that you make them crystal clear, you might suffer more.
It's better to just be a little muddled.
What do you mean by that?
What I'm saying is you don't need to investigate.
Just assume that your benefactor is living well at some place.
Isn't that quite good?
If you keep investigating and what if the ending is--
That is only your own opinion.
If I do that, it won't be as what my innate personality or character is.
Put down that egg.
That is mine!
Here.
Older Bro Wang, just stay here.
Take good care of your wife and child.
We will then take our leave.
You're really our family's blessings.
Upon your arrival,
my wife then immediately bore me a chubby little son.
Then does Older Bro Wang need anything else?
Don't blame me for minding too much.
Although this guy looks a bit dull,
he is quite a nice person.
Don't be too hard on him.
When two people interact,
they must put oneself in the other person's shoes.
Isn't that so?
I'll go back and look at my son now.
You have a safe trip.
Here.
Open it yourself.
From now on, I won't chain you anymore.
Are you letting me go?
Don't dare ask for more.
When two people interact, they should put oneself in the other party's shoes.
What did you say?
What I mean is... I believe that you won't escape.
But you should at least respect my trust, right?
Let's go.
- Hey, Yuan Shuai!- What?
Your camel is already so exhausted.
I might not be the heaviest.
You guys have too much baggage that's why your camels are the ones exhausted.
Bai Ze!
What do you guys ride in the palace?
You guess!
In the palace, what he rides are turtles!
Stop!
Big Bro, how farther away is Clouds Harbor?
Just in front. It's not far. We'll be there soon.
- It's already in front?- Yes.
Then let's go.
It's Clouds Harbor ahead!
Everyone, hold on for a little while longer.
Okay!
Let's go!
Please.
Lady Hong Yu, Lord is here.
Have a meal together.
Hong Yu, come over here and eat.
Everyone leave now.
Yes.
I already told you many times to stop these kinds of prayers.
Don't you know that these prayers will harm your body?
Look at you. Your health is deteriorating.
It's all due to those hateful prayers!
I do these prayers to decrease the sins that you have.
Sins?
What sins do I have?
Your body is full of blood.
You killed so many people.
I already said that those aren't humans.
They are demons, who are ugly demons covered with human skin.
But in my eyes,
those who died under your sword
were just ordinary humans.
That's because you're not a demon exterminator.
You can't see what they are hiding.
If you have a pair of demon exterminator eyes,
then you'll know their real identity.
I indeed don't know what a demon exterminator is.
Maybe it's like what you said.
Under their external appearance, there is another face.
But from what I can see,
as long as they don't harm people or do evil things,
they don't deserve to die.
There are some things that you will never understand.
This world is not as what you imagined.
I indeed do not understand.
I don't know what the purpose of all these killings is.
A butcher kills pigs and lambs to eat its meat.
But what really is the reason of you doing all these?
To clean the world.
Does this world really need cleaning?
It needs.
This is my mission as a demon exterminator.
It's also the truth that I believe in.
You won't understand even if I tell you.
You actually can't understand at all
that this world has dividing lines.
Those things that go beyond this line must die.
Enough already. Stop minding about my business.
Stop doing those prayers, too.
I haven't done anything wrong.
I don't want you to suffer the counter effects of those prayers.
Have you still not found the whereabouts of that girl?
Not yet. I looked around the area that you told me.
Other than barren desert, I didn't find anything.
Could it be that she knows how to go up into the sky?
Don't you brag yourself being able to go up into the sky and down to the ground, being able to do anything?
How come it is difficult for you to just find a person?
I am incapable.
Where is she exactly?
Wow, there are lots of people here!
- Oh my god, this is a mermaid tear. - It's great.
I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the goods.
Didn't you read in the books that
just one mermaid tear is worth a fortune?
Boss, you have so many.
You may not know.
Clouds Harbor is the world's largest and most complete market.
There are only things you can't imagine; not things you cannot find and purchase here.
Fruits!
Fruits for sale. Ginseng fruits!
Ginseng fruits?
- It's a ginseng fruit. - You have good eyes.
Did you hear what the educated people say?
Of course. This is a valuable item.
This ginseng fruit can only be found in the barren desert of the west.
I heard that if you eat it, it can prolong life and enhance beauty.
They're really hard to find in this world.
Boss, how much is this?
It's a penny for two.
Do you like this?
A gift for you.
This... was said to be only present in the coldest area in the world.
Miss, you are really knowledgeable about this.
Clouds Harbor is the world's largest and most complete market.
There are only things you can't imagine;
not things you cannot find and purchase here.
This small Clouds Harbor actually is able to gather all the world's precious treasures.
It's really magical.
That's right.
The rare treasures of the world are just so easy to obtain here.
What's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
You've been behaving strangely since we left Clouds Village.
Why? Are you injured?
I could be a bit unwell.
Hey.
Hey!
Are you blind?
- Watch where you are going. - Seriously.
Look at this.
Although I know that you won't hurt us now,
it doesn't guarantee that you won't in the future.
Because in this world,
the demon exterminator is our natural enemy.
If your innate personality shows,
you won't hesitate to go against us.
You won't hesitate to hurt your friend either, Zhan Xiong Fei.
Older Bro Fei, is Zi Su unhappy?
Did you make her angry?
I didn't.
Hey.
Give me the money.
Is this enough?
Yes. Yes.
The Star Chart is in the bag. You must take good care of it.
Don't worry.
Older Bro Fei, why do you need the money?
Don't bother about this. Let's go.
Let's go.
Tada!
Crystal cake?
Yes. It's your favorite crystal cake.
I bought this specially for you.
So how is it? Aren't I considerate?
Why did you know that I like to eat this?
Because I...
Don't bother about how I knew. Just eat it.
I'm not hungry.
How could you not be hungry?
You haven't eaten anything for the whole day.
I already told you that I don't want to eat it.
Why are you so nice to me?
What's wrong? Throwing a tantrum again?
Older Bro Fei bought this specially for you.
Mind your own business.
You are hateful. Leave me alone!
What's wrong with her?
It's nothing.
It's just a young girl throwing tantrums.
She will be okay later. Everything's fine.
Let's go.
Dear customer, please enjoy.
Dear customers, this way, please.
- I'm starving. - Are you here to eat or stay at the inn?
We are here to stay. Yuan Shuai, we need two rooms.
- Okay. - Sit.
This way, please.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Settle the bill.
Clean the rooms.
Okay.
Aiyoh!
Sorry.
Watch where you are going.
Be careful, I'm fine.
Yuan Shuai, take out the Star Chart now.
Xiong Fei and I want to check the position of the Magic Star in Clouds Harbor.
Okay.
What's wrong?
- What's wrong? - The Star Chart is missing!
- Missing?- Wasn't it in your bag?
It was in there just now.
Hello!
May I ask, those few guys just now...
Do you know those men who were sitting at that table just now?
I'm not very sure.
Do you still say that you don't know them?
I distinctly saw you coming out with them and laughing together.
Are you referring to that guy who walked out?
He is called Wen Xuan. I know him.
Wen Xuan?
It's enough that you know his name. Go after him now.
Let's go.
See what we brought for you.
Don't fight over it.
Everyone will have one.
Here.
- Don't fight over it. - Give it to me.
Everyone will have one.
Okay. Sit down and eat.
Eat slowly.
Don't choke.
- Here. Does it taste good?- Yes.
Older Bro Xuan, what is this?
You are really stupid.
- Why did you kick me?- Among the people who come to Clouds Harbor,
which one is not either rich or noble?
Which one doesn't carry treasures?
This thing... is definitely a treasure.
Treasure?
What kind of treasure is this?
- Hurry and say it!- There are so many treasures. Could I have seen all of them?
It's definitely a treasure.
They definitely brought this to Clouds Harbor to sell it.
Don't talk nonsense.
Silver is more dependable than this.
That's right. That's right.
Here, take this and play with it.
- Okay, take it. - Let's go and drink.
Give it to me.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go and drink.
We have eaten
and drank to our fill, too. Let's start working.
Okay.
He is that thief.
- Stop there! - Stop running!
Stop there!
Young girl, how much does this cost?
One for five pennies.
Is this sturdy?
It's quite study.
Older Bro Fei, look at that rascal.
Isn't that with the Xuan guy earlier?
Give me a lower price.
The three of them were together, right?
Let's go.
Hey! Stop running!
Excuse me!
Yuan Shuai, quick!
Stop running!
Stop there!
Stop running!
Where did he go?
We lost him again.
Why are you so flustered?
We are being chased by those people in the back.
What's wrong?
Someone is chasing after me.
It's those people whom we just stole from.
And then?
And then... we lost them.
Talking about Clouds Harbor's topography, how can they compare to our Mountain Canon Group?
Rest for a while.
We have a target.
Trying to escape?
Return it to me.
What are you talking about?
You want it back, right?
I'm not referring to this.
I'm referring to the Star Chart.
- Star Chart? - Is that a toy? We haven't seen it.
Still acting so shamelessly?
It's that squarish and roundish thing.
I don't know what you are talking about.
I know it's with you.
Stop being shameless with me. Hand it over now.
Okay, I will give it to you.
Let's run!
You jerks!
Stop running!
You are so slow.
I have been waiting for you for a long time.
Still trying to escape?
What are you doing?
Don't, Big Sis. Spare my life.
Take out that thing.
What are you talking about? I really...
Stop pretending.
Do you want to take it out or do you want me to take action?
I will do it.
I already told you that I don't have it and you don't believe me.
Take a good look. Take a good look!
Stinky rascal! What are you doing?!
Stop running!
You scared me to death.
Older Bro Xuan, did they do anything to you?
Who is your Older Bro Xuan?
Are they that great?
Where is Tu Pao?
I don't know. Isn't he with you?
He went on his own.
Older Bro Xuan, don't you think this group is quite strange.
The thing they lost isn't valuable.
Why are they chasing us so furiously?
Where is that thing?
Didn't you give it to the kids to play with?
Where are the kids?
They must be playing at the port.
Where do you think you are going?
Mister, do you require my service for anything?
I say, are you tired of living?
You stole our stuff.
What are you talking about, Mister? I don't understand.
Do you know that these stealing tricks
were already my past deeds?
Where is our stuff?
Sir, I really don't know where your stuff is.
I will talk! I will talk...
Be serious.
Speak now.
Chicken feather duster!
- Buddy. - Big Bro.
May I ask you something?
Speak. Speak.
Where is this place?
This is Clouds Harbor.
What about over there?
There? Don't you know it?
That is the Mystical Dragon Fortress.
Big Bro, are you buying or not?
If you aren't buying, then hurry and leave!
I haven't finished asking yet.
Enough.
Stop asking.
Let's go.
But... Mister... Hero...
where are we going?
Stop your nonsense. Just keep walking.
I'm hungry.
You think of food the whole day.
If you're free, read more books.
Have you read Records of the Three Kingdoms*?(* Chinese historical text.)
What do the Three Kingdoms*, Journey to the West*(* famous Chinese novels)
or The Dream in Red Mansion* have to do with being hungry?(* a famous Chinese novel)
If you haven't read it, talk less.
So much nonsense.
What did you say? Wen Xuan threw away that thing!
Older Bro Xuan said that it was worthless
and gave it to the kids to play with.
Where are the kids?
Those kids are usually just playing in the streets.
I don't know where they are, either.
How could you think that thing is worthless?
- Let me tell you. That thing--- Old Bro Fei, that thing indeed does seem invaluable.
No matter what, that thing
is priceless to us.
Yes. Yes. Yes. It was me who didn't have the eyes for it.
Sorry, everyone.
Wait here.
I'm going to look for the kids.
Let's go.
Give this to me.
I need this.
I'll give you some candies.
Oh my god. Fortunately, we didn't lose this.
What do you think this is?
Do they need to chase us that tightly?
I think it must be worth little money.
Are those the kids?
Yes. Yes.
- Let's go.- Rock, paper, scissors.
Where is the Star Chart?
Older Brother Xuan took it.
Where is he?
We don't know.
It's them again.
They really won't leave us alone.
That rascal probably guessed that it's very important to us.
I don't believe that we can't catch him.
Let's look on the streets.
Let's go.
- Retreat.- Retreat.
I will definitely kill him.
I will definitely go all out with him.
Don't be angry.
You are back. Did you find it?
The Star Chart has been taken by Wen Xuan.
It's all my fault for being careless so I fell into that rascal's trick.
You and Wen Xuan are good friends, right?
Yes.
You must know where he lives then.
- About this... - Are you thinking of...
That's right. I am indeed going to his house to block him.
The monk can run away
but the temple won't run with him.
Let's go.
Behave yourself! Behave yourself!
- We're here. We're here. - Where?
It's the one in front. The one in front.
- We'll let you go once we get there.- Let me go.
- Where? - It's just in front.
Where?
This is Wen Xuan's grandfather's home.
It's here, right?
Yes, it's here.
I've already brought you to the place that you want to go.
I can only leave the rest of the matter for you to do it by yourselves.
If Wen Xuan finds out that I brought you here,
I'll be doomed.
Misters... Misters...
Get up now.
- It's not that serious, right? - It's not that serious.
- It's okay.- Please help me. Please help me.
- Leave. Leave quickly.- Thank you.
- Leave now.- Thank you.
He actually knelt.
Older Bro Fei, do you trust him that much?
That's right.
If not, then?
That's right, too.
Let's go and take a look.
You old man! Where is the money?!
Stop!
Who are you? Mind your own business.
What are you doing?
Beating an old man?
Stop minding the business of others. Just stay on the side!
Three adults are bullying an old man. Isn't this too much?
Attack!
Yuan Shuai.
Fierce Dragon Crossing the River!
Granddaddy...
I never lost in wild fights.
Are you okay, Granddaddy?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Granddaddy, is there something wrong with me?
No, there isn't any.
Be sensible. Let me tell you. My knife isn't a vegetarian.
Beating an old man?
Leave now. Leave quickly.
- Leave now.- Let's go. Let's go.
Mister, are you okay?
Granddaddy.
Don't worry, mister. We aren't here to steal your money.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Thank you, everyone, for saving me just now.
If not, it would have been terrible for me.
No need to thank us.
What brings you here?
We... We are Wen Xuan's...
...good friends.
Rascal, stop hiding this from me.
I know what kind of person Wen Xuan is.
Could it be he has caused trouble again?
It's my fault.
When he returns, I will get him
to return your stuff.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Some mob came earlier.
Fortunately, these heroes saved me.
I'm fine.
When I just arrived, I witnessed everything.
Thank you, everyone.
You... What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid of him?
No, I'm not.
Thank you, everyone.
When I just arrived, I saw you helping my grandfather.
Thank you, everyone.
No need to thank us.
Return that thing to us now.
It's very important to us.
Wen Xuan, return it to them now.
Even it's only a small favor, one should return a big favor.
Although I am just a measly thief right now,
soon...
I'll be the richest man in Clouds Harbor.
By that time, I'll repay you all together.
You must be dreaming.
How are you going to strike it rich?
Heroes, let's go to my home and have some water.
This way, please.
Granddaddy. Granddaddy, that...
Coming.
