~ Episode 1 ~
Older Bro Bai Ze, take a look quickly! It's very pretty!
The Emperor specially arranged this for you.
[Bai Ze: Descendant of Legendary/Son of Heaven Strategy] [Old Head on Young Shoulders/Genius of Battle]
[Zi Su: Empire's Precious Jewel/Cold Princess with a Tender Heart] [Young Magical Healer/Demon Punisher Saint]
[The Emperor]
[Black Dragon King]
Older bro, did you especially arrange for this, too?
There is an assassin! Protect the Emperor!
Your Majesty, quickly take Princess Zi Su into the palace.
- There are traps that I designed inside. Leave now! - Leave now. Let's go
Older bro!
Your Majesty!
Older Bro Bai Ze is really great. He was shot.
I didn't expect my shower of arrows would be so useful during critical moments.
- I will design one for you, too, in the future. - Okay.
Aren't you embarrassed in saying this?
Bai Ze, I pressed this for about a hundred times just now.
That was a matter of life and death. Do you know that?
Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I will make more improvements in the future.
- Okay, get up. Get up. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Bai Ze, go and take a look now. Check the person who is so gutsy.
Yes.
Speak. Who sent you here?
Emperor, today is the day of your death!
Older bro!
Zi Su!
She is a demon exterminator.
Hurry up!
Everyone, step back!
- Let me go! - Zi Su!
Let me go!
You are not allowed to release the arrows! Be careful not to harm the Princess!
Release the arrows!
Zi Su!
Lord Ding, did you find out who the assassin was transformed from the bat yesterday?
Reporting, Your Majesty.
We still don't have any clues about those who died and escaped yesterday.
Ding Song,
you are the Minister of State, who commands and controls the palace guards.
How did the assassin escape your eyes,
enter and leave the palace that easily? Speak! [Ding Song ]
If it weren't for Bai Zhe and Zi Su last night,
I would have died.
I think... that if Your Majesty didn't insist on lighting fireworks yesterday,
it wouldn't give those assassins a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Moreover, the Imperial Treasury is currently in a strained state.
Even it's for the Princess's birthday celebration, it shouldn't be so extravagant.
What are you implying?
I just hope that Your Majesty can focus more on government matters. That will be the society's blessing.
I think you are trying to insinuate yourself, and
are beating around the bush to say that Your Majesty is a useless king.
I wouldn't dare to.
Zi Su, you must not be so rude to Lord Ding.
Then, quickly investigate who the assassin is.
I will definitely investigate this thoroughly.
What should I talk about today?
I'll talk about the origin of these Heaven Strategy envoys.
Great! Great!
It was said that at that time, there was a battle between the humans and the demons.
The killings between the Mortal realm and the Demon realm turned everything into darkness for both sides.
But at that moment, there were Four Supreme Ones who appeared.
These Four Supreme Ones gathered the Five Magic Stars to summon the Divine Power
[Huang Qian Xun] ...for shutting down the doorway between the two realms.
With that, great misery and suffering in the Mortal realm was prevented.
You little rotten rascals!
Tomorrow is your father's death anniversary. [Zhang Xiong Fei: Passionate Half-Human and Half- Demon] [Fierce and Demoniacal Ruffian Hero]
I let you guys come here to buy paper money [Zhang Xiong Fei: Passionate Half-Human and Half- Demon] [Fierce and Demoniacal Ruffian Hero]
and you sneaked here to listen to stories. Come home with me now.
[Yuan Shuai: Honest and Straightforward Block Chopper] [His High Morality Blade is as High as the Sky]
Zhan Xiong Fei, Zhan Xiong Fei. You are already a grown up.
What should I say about you?
You are so playful every day.
How are you going to let your father in Heaven rest in peace?
The magic tricks that he taught you,
you have only learned just the basics.
How are you going to make ends meet and marry a wife in the future?
Thirteenth Older Sis, didn't my father leave me a precious sword?
Moreover, those stories by the storyteller are very interesting.
- About the battle between the humans and the demons, and saving the world, I... - Stop!
The stories by the storyteller are all fabricated.
We are just ordinary people
living a simple life.
Stop having those wild imaginations now.
What about my father's precious sword then?
When you were young, your father was very poor.
He pawned the sword in order to raise you.
Lady Boss, someone is looking for you.
Yes. I will be there soon.
Yuan Shuai,
today is Zhan Xiong Fei's father's death anniversary.
- Help me to keep watch on him. Don't let him get into trouble again. - Okay.
- Come with me. - Yes.
Dad, your son is here to see you.
I didn't come empty handed this time.
I brought you nice food and wine.
Dad, I'm not a filial son.
I disobeyed you and didn't just obediently become a magician.
It's because I really don't... I really don't want to continue staying in this small town anymore.
I want to take a look out there.
I think if you were still alive,
you would definitely give me and Yuan Shuai your support.
You have made a mistake. This is our Abbot's.
[Residence of Mr. Jiao Yuan Chi's Spirit]
This is Old Master Zhan's.
[Residence of Mr. Zhan Wei Ding's Spirit]
Father, I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake. There is still some left.
[Residence of Mr. Zhan Wei Ding's Spirit]
I'll... I will repeat myself.
Father, your son... your son isn't filial.
I disobeyed you.
Zhan Xiong Fei, it's time to repay the money.
Both Big Bros, this is a Buddhist sacred ground.
It's not right for you to behave like this.
Fine. Go down the mountain and talk to our Big Brother then.
- Wait a minute! - Alright.
I will definitely return this money.
But... give me three days worth of time.
It's okay not to go down the mountains, too. Let's cut off his arms to repay his debt.
-That works, too! -Wait a minute!
Don't panic. Don't panic. His father is in our hands.
Hey!
Big Brothers, I was wrong. I'll obey. I'll obey.
Isn't that enough for me to obey? I...
But I really don't have any money on me right now!
Hey! Hey! Don't be rash! Don't be rash!
Put my father down!
There is only one solution now.
I will use my life to repay my debt.
You must promise me, once I'm dead,
- you must let go of my father. - This...

Older Bro Fei!
How could he die?
- Boss said only to get back the money. - Older Bro Fei!
- He didn't say we should take his life. - Older Bro Fei!
- Older Bro Fei, you must not die. You must not die. - Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
If you die, I will be alone.
Older Bro Fei...
I didn't die.
- This knife... - It's a magic knife. One won't die from being stabbed by it.
Let's go now. Let's go now. Let's go now. Help me up.
My father and your father, too.
Something is not right. This cunning rascal wouldn't die that easily.
That's right.
- Let's go back and take a look. - Okay.
Hey, I told you to be on the lookout and you let two guys in.
Did you know that our fathers were almost smashed to pieces?
But aren't our fathers already in this state?
No. Your father was... My father...
I'm so furious.
Older Bro Fei,
don't gamble in the future again. Gambling is not good.
I'll help you to pay back the debt you owe Ma Da Dao.
When my father was alive, he said that I'll never be a remarkable person.
He told me to follow you in life and death.
Don't worry.
I am someone that will become a great hero with indomitable spirit and is admired by millions.
When that time comes, we'll let those who bullied us know how great we are.
When we walk on the streets then, just imagine,
all the young girls will open their windows
competing to wave their hands towards us and to know us.
- That kind of feeling... - It's great.
Older Bro Fei, there are people chasing us now. Shouldn't we think about how to escape first?
Yuan Shuai, based on the current situation,
it's useless reasoning with them. The bad guys won't be sensible.
Thus, we should make a detour.
- Make a detour. Make a detour as far away as possible. - Okay.
- Ignore them. - Let's go.
That way.
Bai Ze, I believe you have heard about the Magic Stars
but there is something that not everyone knows about.
That is when the Divine Power of the Five Magic Stars are depleted,
they'll turn into five ordinary rocks scattered in the universe.
It must go through another five hundred years before such a Divine Power will occur again.
Now the time is approaching, Magic Stars will appear again.
I hope you can collect the Five Magic Stars
and protect the people of the world.
- Your Majesty, but my identity... - Wait...
It's because of your identity, that's why I want you to go.
I believe that you also want to know the truth behind the Rebellion of the Dept. of Heaven Strategy.
Superficially, the Department of Heaven Strategy seems to just help the royal family in any place
to settle all problems;
but in reality, there is only one motive for every operation.
That is to find and get back the Five Magic Stars.
But all these years, we only found the Green and Black Magic Stars.
Fifteen years ago, the Black Magic Star suddenly went missing.
My father insisted on finding the truth.
Although not long after, the leader of Heaven Strategy envoys,
who is also your father, Bai De Ming, suddenly committed a suspicious suicide.
This operation is definitely extremely dangerous.
I have arranged for two excellent assistants to help you.
This is Zhan Ke. He's an excellent swordsman.
This is Yuan San Lang. He is a famous swordsman who uses a saber.
Based on my spies' data, they should be living in seclusion
at the Yanjiao Town at the northwestern border.
That's why I hope that you'll go there
to ask the two of them to come out of seclusion.
Our chances of succeeding will then be increased.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Older Bro Fei, look over there.
Why are there two scarecrows?
They are not scarecrows.
They should be statues.
Look at this.
They look very real.
His eyes moved!
You scared me!
Why aren't they moving?
- It's strange. - Are you alive?
We are fellow apprentices. We are competing in martial arts now.
- They can talk. They are humans. - They are humans.
- But what is the meaning of this? - That's right. What is this?
Which sect are you from? Why can't you move?
It's none of your business.
But since you are here, you can release our acupoints.
- Release mine first. - Release mine first. I'm senior apprentice.
- Release mine first. - Release mine first.
- Who do I release first? - Me.
You both are confusing us!
How about this. The two of you dictate to us your moves and Yuan Shuai and I will fight in your behalf.
I will release whoever wins. How about this?
- This is a good idea. - It's not a bad idea.
Okay then.
I was just about to teach you a lesson.
If you're not given a beating, you get out of control.

Yuan Shuai, I can't move.
Me, either.
These fools are more idiotic than me.
Great Heroes, what should we do?
What else can we do? Continue to wait for someone to come.
- Zi Su. - Princess.
- Royal Older Bro. - This is the Palace. You must not do anything rash.
Royal Older Bro, let me tell you. This is your last chance.
Eunuch Cao, I just realized that
being an emperor is the most dangerous profession in the world.
Royal Older Bro, just tell me now. Which direction did Bai Ze head to?
Thank you, Royal Older Bro.
Men, prepare the carriage. I'm leaving the city.
No. Your Majesty, are you okay?
Older Bro Fei, will we become dried meat?
We won't.
Before we become that,
our eyes would have been eaten by vultures.
Don't scare me. I don't want to die!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Older Bro Fei, are you okay?
Where are we?
It seems like something just exploded near us.
Huh?
We can move again.
- It's true. - We can move now!
Why are you hanging on the tree?
God has protected us!
Come, Senior. Be careful.
- It's good that we are fine. - We're fine. We're fine.
You almost caused us to die.
It's all our fault for fighting
and offending Heaven.
Whoever our junior female apprentice likes,
let her decide herself.
Thank you for saving us.
It's really one word awakening a person that's in a dream.
If you need anything in the future,
remember to look for us.
We are taking our leave.
- Hey, how are we going to find you if we need to? - Tell us!
But... how are we going to contact them?
Didn't we say... What did we say?
We didn't say anything at all.
Older Bro Fei, can you see something shiny over there?
- It seems so. - Let's take a look.
- Wow. - It's such a beautiful stone.
Older Bro Fei, this should be a treasure. Right?
Of course, it's a treasure.
Let's take this back to Yanjiao town and pawn it.
We will be able to pay back our debts to Ma Da Dao.
Older Bro Fei, but what if there is a owner for this?
This fell from the sky.
It's finders keepers. Why are you talking so much?
Let's go back to our town. We are going to be rich!
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
I already said many times.
I don't need a Royal Consort!
Tell that younger sister of the Helan King to go back!
Your Majesty, although the Helan King of the Meadows is just a vassal state ruler,
he is currently holding great power and must not be belittled.
Since they're willing to send his younger sister here for an arranged marriage,
we should be happy about that. Emperor, please think about our country first.
You open your mouth with "protecting the country" and close it with "society."
You are using this to pressure me.
Don't tell me that I don't even have the rights to decline a Royal Consort?!
Scribe, please record accurately the speech and actions of His Majesty today.
Yes.
You are not allowed to make a record of what I said!
Stop.
Zha Bu Ha, what is happening?
To reply, Princess Gu Li,
there is someone ahead who has blocked the path we need to take.
I am worried that it is a thief's scheme.
I will check first.
Princess, please wait for a while.
- Go. - Okay.
Giddy up.
[A Ji Ya: Beauty of the Grasslands/Mysterious Double] [Super Enchanting is all about her]
Who told you to come out?
It was too stuffy down there.
I would like some water.
Drink it then.
What are you doing?
Giddy up.
Stop.
Zha Bu Ha, what's the situation out there?
Nothing. There are no thieves.
Someone is dying soon. I don't think he will be able to live.
Let's go.
I say, you are such a busybody.
Stop.
Eh?
[Ma Da Dao]
Your report is not bad. The target is fat.
The person that you just saved is following us like a dog.
There are thieves! Be prepared for battle! Protect the princess.
Fight!
Protect the princess and leave!
Kill!
Giddy up!
It's done.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Giddy up!
Take her back with us.
Capture her.
I want her alive!
Stop pestering with them! Let's run now!
Let's leave! Run!
Let's go!
Don't. He was just protecting me.
Princess, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Then let's prepare to set out. We must reach Yanjiao Town to set up camp today.
Searching for Bai Ze. Hand him to the Princess and the reward is 1,000 silvers.
Excuse us. Excuse us.
Wow! 1,000 silvers.
Huh? This is not worth 1,000 silvers.
I'm referring to this. I'm referring to that Bai Ze guy.
They're offering a reward of 1,000 silvers for his arrest.
He must be a wanted criminal.
Searching for Bai Ze? The reward is 1,000 silvers?
The reward is even from the princess.
What are you thinking of?
I was thinking. If I bring this princess to the inn...
Thirteenth Older Sis will be very happy.
We are going to be rich!
We know where he is...
We've seen that person! He is over...
Move. Did you just say that you've seen this person?
What's wrong? It's the first time you have seen a princess and you are speechless?
Does this mean I need to pay my respects to you?
No, of course not. I do not mind such small things. You're excused.
Yuan Shuai, did you see that? She's trying to be friendly with us.
Hey, what's your name?
I'm Zhan Xiong Fei.
The Zhan in Zhan Chi Gao Fei (spreading one's wings to fly high)?
- Gou something Xiong (coward)? - "Xiong" as in "Hero."
Oh, the "Xiong" in "Hero." Then what is "Fei"?
As long as the first two words are right, the Fei word doesn't matter anymore.
Me. Me. I'm Yuan Shuai.
Tian Peng Yuan Shuai's (Marshal Yuan Shuai) Yuan Shuai. (Marshal Yuan Shuai is one of the four great deities of the north pole.)
You both are interesting.
Did you really see him?
Of course, we have seen him before. With this Bai... Bai... Bai person...
we are very familiar.
Take me to see him then.
Of course. But on this long journey, we will definitely need to rest.
As for me, I know an excellent inn.
Let's go with them now.
Princess, although that inn is extremely...
good. However, it is quite small and won't fit everybody.
Go back and tell His Majesty that once I find Bai Ze, I'll bring him back to the palace together.
- Go back first. - Yes.
Princess, please come with me.
That's right, Princess. You should be careful when you are out here.
There are a lot of swindlers. Good people like us...
What we sell at the Casual Guests' Inn is top customer service.
There are so many people that travel to our inn. What does the name of our inn come from?
It is our endless service that captures the heart of each of our customers.
You must remember this. Do you understand?
Yes.
Zhan Xiong Fei, following our normal rules, I'll deduct half of your salary and save it for you.
Yuan Shuai, you went out with Xiong Fei to have fun, too.
Your salary will also be deducted in half so you learn from this.
- This... - Also, listen carefully you two.
In the future, if I find out that you went to listen to those nonsensical stories again, I will deduct all your pay.
Yes.
Lady Boss, this place is too dry.
Get me some water quickly.
You, Zhang Xiong Fei, go get me 10 warm towels for me to cover my face.
Okay.
Lady Boss, give me your best vacant room
immediately.
Sorry, the best room has already been taken up just now.
Princess Gu Li from the Helan Meadows is here.
I will repeat myself. Give me the best vacant room now.
I am already staying at the best room in this inn.
Who are you?
You don't even know who I am? I...
She is also a princess. She is the younger sister of the current Emperor.
She is a princess. I'm a princess, too.
Plus, we should also talk about who was here first.
You better not cross me.
If I go home and tell my older bro, I'll make you guys leave immediately!
- Hold on! - Big Bro!
The princess is very beautiful, too.
Big Bro, you are all rich and important people.
It's not good to use your sabers and swords.
This... We have a great peaceful solution.
Zhan Xiong Fei.
Continue talking.
This... General, why don't we make a bet?
[Yanjiao Town]
Hello. Do you know the person in this drawing?
- This, have you seen this? - No. - We don't know.
Hello. Do you know the person in this drawing?
I don't.
- May I ask if you know the person in this drawing? - No.
Hello. Do you know these two people, Zhan Ke and Yuan San Lang?
- I don't recognize him. - Please think more carefully.
They are both city people. They are living here.
- I'm not too sure. - Thank you.
- You are looking for someone, right? - Yes.
You should go to the Casual Guests' Inn up ahead. There's plenty of people there.
There's a lot of news circulating there that I think would help you.
- Thank you. Greatly appreciate. - It's okay.
Make a bet on the three dice. One bet decides the winner.
- Are you fine with this? - Yes.
About this, that...
- General. - You go first, General Zha.
Wow.
6. 6. 4. It's sixteen.
I think you should pack your stuff and let Princess Gu Li have the room.
Don't be like this, General. Give Princess Zi Su a chance.
Here.
Let me take a look.
Okay.
- I'm going to check it. - Yes.
Three sixes!
You are great!
Princess Zi Su has lucky hands. The room is decided then.
Wait!
You!
About this...
Don't, General! He's just a kid.
Don't bother with him, okay?
Yes, we are just kids.
You are really something.
I was almost fooled by you.
- You know magic tricks, right? - No... What we know are just insignificant tricks.
I know some.
Come here.
Regarding the room...
Just prepare any room for us.
Leave that room for Princess Zi Su. We won't give you any problems.
Fine.
- You can leave. - Yes.
When I just got into town, I saw them preparing for a festival at the temple for the past two days.
We also want to join and have some fun.
I just saw that your magic trick was not bad.
I wonder if you are willing to work with me.
Work with you?
