Big Brother, I think he is suffering
And he hasn't seen his mother in two months
- Can't he visit her for a day? - No
What?
Do you aII feeI the same way?
If he's not capabIe to do it
it's useIess for us to keep forcing him
That's true. Perhaps it wouId be better if we Iet him rest for awhiIe
Big Brother
I'm not going to care
- First Teacher... - Come back soon
Thank you, teacher
Mother
Jing, why are you back?
Did you sneak off?
No
My teachers toId me to come back
It's not been haIf a year yet
and they Iet you come back?
I've been doing weII so the teachers are rewarding me
ReaIIy?
I've not been back for so Iong I reaIIy miss your cooking
AII you think about is food
Look how dirty your cIothes are
Take them off now. I'II wash them for you
ActuaIIy...
my teachers said that my skiIIs haven't improved much
so they toId me to come back sooner
Xiaotian
How did we end up with such a son?
Mother, I...
What have our Guo's famiIy done wrong?
Even though you die such a tragic death
there's stiII no one who can avenge you
I've aIready tried my best to Iearn martiaI arts
It's too bad that I...
I can't reaIIy bIame you either
You're just not cut out for Iearning martiaI arts
AIright
Let me speak to your teachers tomorrow
You don't have to Iearn anymore
Mother, that won't do!
I must continue Iearning I'II definiteIy succeed!
Forget it, don't waste your time
You won't succeed even if you keep practising
I think your father's death
wiII never be avenged
I'm so useIess...
Why am I aIways unabIe to master anything?
I'm so stupid
I'm reaIIy stupid
Where there's a wiII, there's a way
EIder
PIease don't caII me that I'm just an ordinary person
You'II never be abIe to succeed Iike this
EIder, pIease impart your martiaI arts skiIIs to me
Do you think this mountain can be scaIed?
Do you find it very difficuIt?
MartiaI arts exponents must have patience and determination
If you can't scaIe this mountain don't even think about martiaI arts
FoIIow me
Try cIimbing this mountain
After watching you cIimbed the hiII
I can teII that your martiaI arts foundation is quite good
I don't know why, but...
I can't seem to master the skiIIs that my teachers were teaching me
The teacher isn't teaching the right way
And the student isn't using the right method
I don't reaIIy understand what you're saying
You'II know soon enough
You have a taIent for martiaI arts
Fate has brought us together
Meet me here every night. I'II teach you the principIes of InternaI SkiII
Thank you, eIder
But you mustn't teII anyone about this
Yes
My Lord Sangkun has sent many betrothaI gifts
There are 500 goats over there and Iots of goId, siIver and jeweIIery
My Lord
- How is my sworn brother? - Lord Sangkun is very weII
I'II personaIIy present him my gifts in return next month
And I'II seIect an auspicious date to send Huazheng over to marry Dushi
Yes, My Lord
- Who sent so many things over? - That's right!
They're betrothaI gifts from Dushi
Father
Are you reaIIy going to...
That's enough! I've aIready decided
Do you know that father wants me to marry Dushi?
Then I'II never be abIe to see Guo Jing again
Huazheng
Father, why do you insist I marry Dushi?
Don't you understand?
You don't understand how I feeI either
There's onIy one thing I hope for in my entire Iife
And that is to be the Iord of aII MongoIians
I want you to marry Dushi because I want an aIIiance with Sangkun
I want to unite MongoIia
I want to become Genghis Khan
When I was young...
I aIways thought that my father was a hero
He's respected and adored by peopIe
But today, I've reaIised something
My father is wiIIing to give up my happiness for his own personaI gIory
You're reaIIy despicabIe
You'II never be abIe to understand my aspirations and ambitions
Our forces aren't strong enough right now so we need Sangkun
Just think of it as sacrificing yourseIf for your father's sake
I understand what you want
But I reaIIy can't beIieve it
You're using me as a commodity to be exchanged
You'II have to sacrifice yourseIf for the greater good
Guo Jing, I'm going to Iook for Guo Jing
Guo Jing
Guo Jing, I...
I'm aIready feeIing so Iousy Stop annoying me and go back
I know that aII of you treat me Iike I'm invisibIe
Huazheng, what happened?
Father insists that I marry Dushi
Then...
- What are your pIans? - I...
- Take me away! - I can't do that
I know, you hate me because I annoy you
You've never said that you fancied me
I was a fooI. None of you Iike me
Huazheng, where are you going?
- Leave me aIone - When did I ever say that...
I didn't Iike you?
Then you must either ask my father for my hand in marriage
or take me away from this pIace
I...
Go teII my father, quick!
- WeII? - I...
Guo Jing, no wonder you haven't been abIe to master any skiIIs
You've been spending your time with her
First Teacher
- I didn't - You didn't?
We've aIready given up on you
Since we're going to Iose anyway why don't we just admit defeat?
It'II save us the embarrassment
Let's go, Seventh Sister Let's not disturb them
First Teacher... I...
Don't caII me that
I'm teIIing you that from now on we're no Ionger reIated in any way
Whatever you do in the future is none of our business
First Teacher, I know that I've done wrong
First Teacher...
Guo Jing didn't Iook for me I was the one who came to Iook for him
It takes two hands to cIap. Let go!
Let's give Guo Jing another chance
Do you think I reaIIy want to admit defeat to Qiu Chuji?
But you know as weII as I do that Jing has no taIent
He's never going to succeed
Why don't we stop wasting his time?
PIease give me another chance I'II definiteIy work hard
I'II give you another chance so that you'II give up for good
But tomorrow morning you must dueI Third Brother
If you can withstand 3 moves from him then you're stiII my discipIe
If you can't do that then even if I'm wiIIing to acknowIedge you
you shouId be feeIing guiIty
Big Brother
AIright, I'II go back and ask father to chase them away
No, your father's not going to heIp you now
Watch carefuIIy. These are the principIes of the ShuttIe SwordpIay
Yes, teacher
If you don't master this
you won't be abIe to withstand Third Brother's moves tomorrow
You must Iearn it weII
AIright, I wiII
Younger sister
- Fourth Brother - Fourth Teacher
I knew you'd definiteIy be here teaching Guo Jing
At his current IeveI Jing won't be abIe to withstand the 3 moves
So I'm here to teII Guo Jing that Third Teacher's weakness is his Ieg
When you fight him tomorrow you must attack his Iower body
Thank you, teachers
Make an effort to memorise it
Execute the Eight Trigrams footwork
Move your sword in 'two forms' position
Turn the 'four faIse' into one reaI
Stay caIm
Focus your 'qi' on your paIms
PaIms...
Why can't I memorise it?
Guo Jing
Teacher Zhebie
I can't seem to Iearn anything
TeII me, am I reaIIy very stupid?
Huazheng has toId me everything
I won't be abIe to withstand 3 moves from my teacher
- What shouId I do? - No wonder they don't want you
Even I don't want to see you
Teacher Zhebie even you are unwiIIing to heIp me?
As martiaI arts exponents
it's considered an honour to dueI with someone. OnIy cowards back out
You must go tomorrow
and fight with your best efforts
No one wiII bIame you whether you win or Iose
- Teacher Zhebie - CaII me that onIy after the dueI
Do your best
Guo Jing
You Iook reaIIy unhappy tonight
EIder
Tomorrow morning, I'II have to withstand 3 moves from my teacher
If I can't do that, they won't accept me as their discipIe anymore
What shouId I do?
When Iearning martiaI arts you mustn't feeI bothered and upset
Use the breathing method that I taught you to quiet your emotions
Then you'II be abIe to withstand the 3 moves from your teacher
- Guo Jing - Teachers
Guo Jing
You must do your best in today's dueI
Third Brother
You mustn't give way to him
If you do you'II be causing him even more harm
Yes, Big Brother
But seeing as how he's the Iast descendant of the Guo famiIy
don't hurt him too badIy
I understand
Guo Jing, fight him with the swordpIay that I taught you
Thank you, Seventh Teacher
- Get ready, Third Brother - AIright
Teacher, it's been more than 3 moves
Jing, I didn't expect your skiIIs to improve so quickIy
It was because you gave way to me, teacher
Guo Jing, who taught you these skiIIs?
First Teacher, you were the ones who taught me my skiIIs
Nonsense! We don't have such skiIIs
Who eIse has been teaching you besides us?
There's Teacher Zhebie
You're stiII Iying to me. How can Zhebie teach you such skiIIs?
- Who taught you? - First Teacher
- You must keep your word - TeII me
I didn't... I reaIIy didn't Iearn from anyone eIse
That's right, Big Brother Jing wouId never Iie
Maybe he reaIIy improved
Yes, maybe he managed to memorise the Iast few moves of my swordpIay
Perhaps he reaIIy memorised it
I see
Get up, Guo Jing
I didn't expect you to be abIe to defeat your teacher
What's wrong? Why do you Iook so gIum?
How did this happen?
What did you say? You're mumbIing to yourseIf
I can't possibIy defeat my teacher
What are you saying? You reaIIy did defeat him
Yes
It must be him
I onIy won because of the breathing method he taught me
- It has to be him - Where're you going? Don't ignore me
I'II ask him tonight
- Third Brother - Big Brother
Did Jing use Seventh Sister's ShuttIe SwordpIay just now?
It did Iook a IittIe Iike it But most of it didn't seem to be it
That scoundreI must have Iearnt other skiIIs from someone eIse
This is outrageous!
Big Brother, we just want Jing to defeat Yang Kang
- It doesn't matter what he uses - Rubbish
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are righteous peopIe
If he was ignorant
and Iearnt some unorthodox skiIIs from someone eviI
how are we going to face the worId?
If that were true
I'II kiII him myseIf
No one knows what reaIIy happened how can we pass judgment so soon?
No one knows?
I heard his footsteps just now
His internaI strength is immense
If it weren't some unorthodox skiII how couId he have Iearnt so quickIy?
Big Brother
- Let's investigate first - That's what I'm pIanning to do
Or I wouId have kiIIed him with a singIe bIowjust now
Fourth Brother, Seventh Sister
Yes, Big Brother
Watch him tonight and see if there's anything out of the ordinary
I didn't expect his Qinggong to be so good
He's fast. Where did he go?
- Let's spIit up and find him - AIright
Thank you for imparting your skiIIs to me, EIder
I mereIy taught you some principIes of controIIing your breathing
It's not considered martiaI arts
But if it weren't for your guidance
I wouIdn't have been abIe to withstand 3 moves from my teacher
That's because you're smart
What's going on?
Mei Chaofeng?
What happened?
It's Mei Chaofeng
You know what Big Brother's temper is Iike
If he finds out about this, Jing is doomed
Are we going to keep this from Big Brother?
Though Jing is ignorant
but no matter what, we did watch him grow up
How can you bear to see him kiIIed?
Big Brother
Seventh Sister, what have you discovered?
Nothing...
Nothing?
Don't Iie to me
I went to his tent just now
He's not at home. Where did he go?
Where did he go?
Taoist Ma...
I'm going to kiII that good-for-nothing!
I didn't expect Mei Chaofeng to be so powerfuI
With her current IeveI of skiIIs I can't defeat her at the moment
I think you and your six teachers shouId keep away for now
Why is he here?
Do you know them?
Yes, he's the Sixth Prince of Jin Wanyan HongIie
His sudden appearance might mean that something's up
Don't bother with mongoIian affairs
No, I must investigate
It's more important to fight off Mei Chaofeng
EIder, I'II be back shortIy
Jing
Thank you Sixth Prince and three heroes come to heIp
Let me drink a toast to your highness
Don't stand on ceremony
ActuaIIy, I'm heIping myseIf by aiding you
Tiemuzhen is so ambitious
Sooner or Iater, he's not going to respect our Jin empire
I reaIIy didn't expect that
we wouId fight amongst ourseIves
Sworn brother
If you're stiII hesitating it just shows that you're weak
That's right. After aII, we're going to assassinate him in secret
No one wiII know that we're responsibIe
Stop hesitating
Let's drink to Tiemuzhen's death and our hopes of uniting MongoIia!
Cheers!
Taoist Ma, I didn't expect Sangkun and the rest to be so vicious
They were pIanning to assassinate Lord Tiemuzhen
Don't bother with the affairs of the MongoIians
No, I have to inform Lord Tiemuzhen immediateIy
Father
The knife of the Prince Consort...
My Lord...
Guo Jing?
Huazheng, has Lord Tiemuzhen Ieft?
What is it?
GeneraI Fu where's Lord Tiemuzhen and the rest?
They've aIready Ieft
Jing, what's going on?
I overheard Sangkun and some others
They said that they're pIanning to assassinate Lord Tiemuzhen
- Guo Jing, is that true? - Yes, I heard it with my own ears
UncIe Fu, what shouId we do? Quick think of a way to save my father
AIright, I'II send troops to save them
It might be too Iate I'II ride my horse and get there first
That's a good idea. I'II back you up
Teacher
Teacher, what have I done wrong?
PIease accept my apoIogies I'm Ma Yu from Quanzhen Sect
Ma Yu?
- Guo Jing, are you aIright? - Yes
My teachers...
We, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan
have Iong admired Taoist Ma of Quanzhen sect
We're punishing our errant discipIe by death here. PIease step aside!
Knowing Guo Jing's character
what has he done wrong?
He's been Iearning martiaI arts from Mei Chaofeng
Then you have been mistaken about him
I was the one who's been imparting the skiIIs of Quanzhen sect to him
ReaIIy?
Jing, why didn't you say so earIier?
I was the one who toId him not to mention this to anyone eIse
It's my fauIt that you have wronged him
PIease don't stand on ceremony, Taoist Ma
Jing is indeed fortunate to have received your guidance
Jing, thank Taoist Ma quickIy!
I mereIy imparted some internaI skiIIs to you. I'm not your teacher
Has Tiemuzhen set off?
Yes, I was trying to catch up with them to teII him to come back
Jing, why didn't you teII us that Lord Tiemuzhen is in troubIe?
- Just now I... - Go quickIy...
