Young lady, it's you.
Why are you following me?
You won my money, yet want to run?
My money is not to be given away for nothing.
You agree to bet, you accept your loss. You said it yourself.
I went easy on you.
If I expose your cheating to the world,
take a guess. What would happen to your other leg?
I understand. I understand.
Look. This one's pretty big.
Here. For you.
- Don't want it, fine. - Come back.
What now?
Asking you about something.
Where did you get the Jade Hare longevity ornament that you sold at Yong'an.
Don't know.
Won't admit it?
Want to run?
No...you...
Am I pretty?
Monster!
Don't come over here!
Tell the truth, or get swallowed whole by me. Make a choice.
I'll tell the truth.
What's there for me to say? You scared the hell out of me...I forgot everything.
- The longevity ornament. - Oh yeah, jade hare longevity ornament.
That jade hare longevity ornament was something I stole from a puppet show troupe.
I stole it.
Puppet show troupe. Wait for me to look into it a bit.
Monster, I'm begging you. Please let me off.
Everything I've said is the truth.
My entire family, young and old, depends on my money to feed them.
If you want, I'll give you everything.
Not bad.
Today's show.
Yes, today's show was quite good.
It's getting so late.
I was so engrossed.
Walk slowly. Take care.
May I ask.
Young Lady, today's show has ended.
If you want to watch a show, please come early tomorrow.
I didn't come to watch a show.
Troupe owner. I'd like to ask you about something.
Have you seen this longevity ornament?
Not only have I seen it, I'm very familiar with it.
At that time, a family's young master liked our puppet shows a lot.
His little buttocks crawled upon the stage and insisted on having
the wood puppet wear it.
Then who are his parents? Where are they? Where do they live?
It's Suzhou's number one family. The rich and influential Zhang family.
Thirteen years ago, they came to tour Lin'an City.
We put on a show at the theater and met them.
After that, they reserved the entire theater three days straight, throwing out a thousand gold coins in one go.
Thank you troupe owner, you've helped me greatly.
Thank you. Thank you.
Please take care.
Evildoer is here poisoning people's minds again.
Stinky Monk! Why are you here?
I'm here to eliminate demons and rid evil.
Did I provoke you or offend you? Are you crazy?
You evildoers all defy the natural order to alter your fates.
You simply don't deserve to live in this world.
Xiao Qing, leave quickly!
Roast Meat
Mister Xu. Benefactor Xu.
Benefactor Xu!
Fa Hai?
Benefactor Xu, it's me.
There's something I'd like to ask of you.
Master, where are you?
You can't see me. I'm speaking to you via my primordial spirit.
Primordial spirit?
What happened?
I've thought about it over and over. If you trust me,
tomorrow at noon at the Wind Rain Pavilion,
I'll wait for you there.
Elder Sister, why did you use your cultivation to pull me through?
You were injured by the alms bowl, so your spirit core has become damaged.
I used my cultivation to nourish your spiritual force.
how can you lose even more cultivation on my behalf?
Haven't you even disregarded your life because of me?
In my heart, you're a true sister to me.
Of course sisters should support one another. Go through thick and thin together.
Then...have we made up?
Then...does that mean you also won't block the relationship between me and Zhang Yutang? Right?
What do you plan for the future?
Since I've found a clue, I'll naturally accompany him to Suzhou to meet his family.
- And after that? - After that, wait for him to propose marriage!
Xiao Qing, we egg laying lifeforms
even though we've taken human forms, we still can't be intimate with mortals.
If you're together with Yutang, I'm afraid you'll harm him.
Then why is it possible for you to be a loving pair with Master Xu, but I can't?
My cultivation is higher than yours by five hundred years.
So what if it's five hundred years?
Low cultivation means I don't deserve love?
Humans and demons are different lifeforms, difficult for the heavenly laws to put up with.
- You'll truly... - So what?
At the time, when you were obstructed by Fa Hai,
when did I not help you regardless of my own safety?
Now you're actually lecturing me with a straight face.
What gives you the right to treat others and yourself with two different sets of standards.
I've lost my body of flesh, am a barely discernible primordial spirit.
Impossible to taste tea.
Then do you have a way of eliminating your heart's demon?
I've already given no thought to my life and death.
No need to cling to finding my mortal body.
I only want to get rid of that heart's demon,
even if I have to perish together with it.
Don't worry Brother Fa Hai, we'll help you!
-Yes! - Don't be afraid! - We'll help you!
Master... this is...
That heart's demon is looking for my primordial spirit everywhere.
I can only hide everywhere.
Fortunately, these little spirits have been screening me.
Thousands of lifeforms have souls...not all spirits are evil.
You're right.
After two months of close association, I've realized the truth.
Previously, I was gripped by confusion,
therefore my heart was hindered and did not see the sky clearly.
What do you plan to do now?
I can't let that heart's demon use my body to harm the world.
The only thing I can do now is to die for a just cause. Destroy my body to defend my principles.
With my body destroyed, it'll have nothing to latch on.
I've already thought about it,
this is the only way.
I can't sense him. That's not possible.
Fa Hai, oh Fa Hai.
Even that green snake wants to get married to that Zhang fellow.
That trick of buying a person's heart,
how can you not see through it?
Forget it. Once I've eliminated this snake spirit,
I'll slowly deal with you.
During this time, have a good taste of
being scared out of your wits.
You want to reap people's hearts?
I insist on confusion your mind.
If you want to get rid of the heart's demon,
besides killing your body, I actually have another method.
What method?
I can use acupuncture to cause your body to imitate death for two hours.
During this time, the heart's demon will have no way of occupying your body. We'll find a way to lock it up.
Allowing your primordial spirit to return to your body, and get rid of the heart's demon at the same time.
But..you're a mortal, how can you approach the heart's demon to perform acupuncture?
Then we'll need to make it let down its guard first, believing that it can't lose.
Then find a pretext to lure it away.
In order for it to fall into the trap, we have to make it think that it's the one making the arrangements.
Believing that it's the mantis preying on us, the cicada,
when in fact, we're the oriole having the last laugh.
Based on the map, it should be over there.
It's raining! Hurry!
You, put away the booth!
It's so hard to find someone who knows your family,
in the end, we just found a girl.
One in a sea of faces, what's more, thirteen years are not short.
Maybe. That family has long left Suzhou.
Actually, it's fine if we don't find them.
I'm used to being on my own.
Who says you're on your own?
No matter whether you find them or not, I'll
still always keep you company.
Madam, it's them.
Look.
Alike, so alike.
Looks exactly the same as Husband when he was younger.
Madam, don't be anxious.
I heard that you guys have been looking for the Zhang family?
You guys came to Suzhou look for family. Have you brought any item
to prove your identity?
Item?
There is. This is Yutang's belonging when he was little.
Child, will you let me see your left hand?
Yes!
It's my child!
It's my son!
Madam, you are...
I'm your mother.
I have always been looking for you. I've looked for you for thirteen years.
Son, my son!
Madam, since the young master has already been found,
it's a joyous occasion!
Yes, Madam! Look at the Young Master's travel-worn appearance.
Have him return to the manor right away for a drink of tea before slowly getting to know him.
Son, let's return to the manor immediately, alright?
Let's go!
Come... clear the way. Return to the manor.
Wait.
Mother, this is Miss Xiao Qing.
How are you, Madam?
Miss Xiao Qing, please return with us.
Sure.
Child, let's go!
Please.
- Son
- Miss - It's been hard on you these past years.
Not hard, not hard. I've lived quite well.
- Thank you! - Miss, you've swallowed all of it?
Isn't this for me to drink?
That cup was for you to rinse your mouth. This is for you to drink.
This is Dongting green tea.
This must be the first time that Miss Xiao Qing has tasted it?
I normally drink wine. My ability to hold alcohol is first-rate.
Drinking tea is just to quench thirst.
I reckon that in your mouth,
there's no difference between this green tea and the tea used to rinse our mouths.
However, good tea is good tea.
Even if coarse tea leaves were placed in a cupboard,
it's still green tea that costs one tael of silver per pile.
Mother, Miss Qiao Qing is the most important person to me.
We've experienced a lot together.
This time, she's the one who encouraged me to come to Suzhou.
Then it's been hard on Miss Xiao Qing.
That's right, Yutang, in a moment,
you should properly thank your benefactor.
If it wasn't for Master Fa Hai valuable assistance,
I wouldn't have found you so quickly.
Master Fa Hai?
Amitabha, Excellent, excellent.
Congratulations for finding your relatives.
Why are you here?
Master was able to deduce where your body was.
In the beginning, I half believed and half doubted.
Afterwards, the master also told of the day that you'll come to Suzhou to find relatives.
He even clearly revealed the hour of arrival.
We searched for you based on the Master's guidance and sure enough, we've reunited.
Yutang, immediately thank the master.
Him?
A monk always keeps benevolence in mind. You can reunite with your family member.
That's your entire family's blessing.
I don't dare to take credit.
Monk, I want to ask you.
Since you knew early on where Yutang's family was, why didn't you tell us earlier.
You allowed him to be sad for so many years, and allowed him to be lonely and impoverished. Tell me...
Amitabha.
Their fate has not come to fruition. Heaven's will can't be revealed.
Once the preordained time has come, I naturally told the Madam.
So since we practically arrived at the Zhang family's doorstep, your preordained fate just happens to have come, right?
Young Lady, our Zhang manor is a place where we speak with manners.
Please don't be rude to the master.
Yutang.
What is Miss Xiao Qing's background?
Xiao Qing's sister and brother-in-law opened a medical clinic in Lin'an City.
It's called Baohe Hall.
When I worked there previously. I was in Miss Xiao Qing's care.
So Miss Xiao Qing's family opened a medical clinic.
No. My family didn't open a medical clinic. My mistress' family opened the clinic.
You're a maid?
Miss Xiao Qing isn't a regular maid.
Miss Xiao Qing is like me, having no family.
So Physician Bai adopted her as a sister.
Xiao Qing is
the most important person in my life. I don't plan on separating from her.
Your words are incorrect.
You still have an esteemed elderly mother here.
Madam Zhang should be the most important person to you.
I've observed Miss Xiao Qing's physiognomy.
I advise you to be less close to her.
Stinky Monk, when did you learn physiognomy?
Young Lady, I'll restate again,
the master is my Zhang family's benefactor, is my esteemed guest.
If you don't watch what you say again,
then you're incompatible with our Zhang family's ways.
You don't welcome me, right?
You don't have to beat around the bush, I'll leave on my own.
Xiao Qing, don't go.
Indeed you're someone who hasn't been taught properly all of your life.
I'm speechless regarding your upbringing and etiquette.
It can be seen then that your mistress also isn't someone from a rich and influential family.
I indeed dare not ask for her advice on how to teach a maid.
True, I admit...people say that one should repay the kindness of a drop of water with a gushing spring.
But Madam Zhang, you came from a rich and influential family, yet you treat people in a snobbish and sarcastic way.
but you don't know how to be polite too.
You!
Get out! Leave!
I will leave then.
- Xiao Qing. - Yutang, sit down.
- Xiao Qing! - Yutang!
Xiao Qing!
Madam, are you okay?
Quick. Go after him and bring him back now.
Let's go.
[ Zhang's residence ]
Xiao Qing!
You are not allowed to leave! If you want to leave, let's leave together.
No need. It wasn't easy for you to find your long-lost family.
You should reunite with them.
I, Xiao Qing, will retire now that the job's done. Thus, let us part.
Young Master!
Old Madam is having chest pain. Go in and see her now.
That's right. Madam is waiting for you.
why don't you go back. Green hills won't change...clear water continue to flow.
If you come to Lin'an in the future, you can look for me.
I will treat you to wine.
Xiao Qing!
Release me!
Xiao Qing!
Why haven't we seen Miss Xiao Qing lately?
She went with Zhang Yutang to Suzhou to look for his family members.
Have a sip.
Sister-in-Law, I gotta say,
our family's Xiao Qing is normally so carefree,
but she's truly caring towards Yutang.
Who's caring towards Yutang?
Stop spouting nonsense.
Xiao Qing, why did you come back?
Where's Yutang?
Unless meeting his relatives didn't go smoothly.
Whether it is or not, it doesn't concern me.
Don't talk about this person in the future again.
Are you okay?
I..What could be wrong with me?
Older Sister, stop asking now.
No talking when eating or sleeping.
I'm hungry. I'll eat first.
It tastes so good.
You can't catch me.
Slow down.
You have been here for an hour.
You didn't even blink your eyes. What are you thinking of?
Older Sister, are you here to see me regarding something?
Recruitment Notice?
Yutang has gone home to his family. I believe he will stay in Suzhou for a long time.
Baihe Hall is lacking manpower.
I discussed with my husband to hire another staff.
Mortals live but a short life.
Xiao Qing, the fate between you and Yutang is too shallow.
In this mortal world, there are too many failed loves.
Don't blame him.
I...I haven't put it to heart.
I'm happy he could be reunited with his family.
Isn't it just recruiting a staff? I'm going to post up this notice.
This is strange. Why is the recruitment for staff for Baihe Hall still here?
It's because Miss Xiao Qing is very picky.
It has been many days and no one is to her liking.
This Miss Xiao Qing is really very fussy.
Isn't that so?
Also true. Medical practitioners should be stricter.
There are medicines in here which can reduce gas, clear phlegm, kill parasites, and cure ulcers.
Come and choose it for me.
This...they didn't say that we should choose.
That's right. You tricked me.
You, you, you. Choose it.
Can you do it?
I can't.
3...2...1.
This is creat, good for reducing fevers and swelling.
Beijing euphorbia root, a diuretic for urination.
And you! Can't even tell Dangshen and figwort apart, what did you answer the employment notice for.
Do you need me to tell you
what is Dangshen and what is figwort?
What are you doing here?
I'm the staff here. I came back to cancel my leave.
Forget it. Let's go.
Can't you see it?
A little Baohe Hall like us can't afford an honorable holiness like you.
We are recruiting a new staff.
Go back.
Our Great Song has millions of laws and decrees, but there are none which clearly states how many days of absence
would result in losing one's job.
You've exceeded the time limit for returning and have already been dismissed.
Collect you pay and leave immediately.
Then I'll just apply all over again.
Didn't you want to have these medicines identified?
How about I identify each one.
This is wind-weed...this is Solomon's seal.
Miss Xiao Qing, did I answer correctly?
All are dusty. Don't dirty your hands, Young Master, heir of the Zhang family.
If the hand is dirty, I can just wash it.
Xiao Qing, didn't you say you will treat me wine if I come back to Lin'an?
I'm back now. Don't ignore me.
You are the Young Master of the Zhang family. What kind of wine haven't you drank?
In front of you, I'm not a Young Master of the Zhang family.
I'm only Zhang Yutang, a staff at Baihe Hall.
Move aside.
Xiao Qing, listen to me.
I was at fault that day.
I should have left with you.
It's just that I was stopped.
You can be angry with me. Just don't ignore me.
Are you done talking? If this is what you wanted to say, fine.
I get it. You can leave now.
I like you.
What did you just say?
I like you.
For the past few days, when I didn't see you,
I kept thinking of you.
When I'm with you,
although you were fierce towards me and scolded me,
but those were the happiest moments in my life.
Xiao Qing, I'm not afraid of being poor or suffering.
I'm just afraid of separating from you.
I don't want to be a Young Master from the Zhang family.
I just want to be the Zhang Yutang who's by your side
and keep protecting and taking care of you.
Xiao Qing, why are you crying?
I'm not crying. It's just that there's sand in my eyes.
Let me help you blow on it.
Does it still hurt?
You idiot, are you going to believe everything I say?
Of course I believe whatever you say.
Xiao Qing, forgive me this time
alright?
Be good, stop crying.
Who said that I'm crying?
I already said that sand got in my eyes.
You're not allowed to move. Don't look.
My Mother would play hide and seek with me when I was young
and she never came back.
Promise me,
you're not allowed to lie to me
nor leave me.
Or else I won't ever forgive you again.
Alright.
We'll never ever separate.
Fine! I'll consent to your coming to work tomorrow.
I'll treat you to a welcome dinner...let's drink!
Alright!
Let's go.
Wait a second for me. I'll come back immediately.
Yang Gao Wine Brewed Using New Method
Benefactor.
It's you again?
I have a questions and would like your instruction.
If honey was spread on the edge of a knife,
will you still lick it?
What do you mean?
The knife's edge is sweet.
The sweetness is but a momentary pleasure,
but it'll cut your tongue and cause disaster.
Loving someone is exactly like that.
The ancients say that filial piety is the most important virtue.
Yet because of a woman, you
disobeyed your mother...disrespect your elder.
This truly contrary to proper human relationships.
You're a monk, yet you intervene in these matters.
Destroy lovers' fate, yet actually even talk of moral principles with me.
You could reunite with your relatives because of
the blessing that you've cultivated in your past life.
You should return to your hometown and make your mother happy.
You stubbornly linger here
because of someone not destined for you, involved in a muddled relationship.
Is that not honey on a knife's edge?
If Xiao Qing is that knife, I'll just accept it.
Since Master is so worried about my Zhang family,
You might as well tell my mother
Other than Xiao Qing, I won't ever marry anyone else.
If you have to separate us
then these relatives, take it as I've never known them.
What are you thinking of?
I'm thinking that Yutang and I, and also you and Master Xu,
we can tour West Lake.
Also, have those four stupid spirits sit in another boat,
so they won't be noisy.
Xiao Qing, do you know,
there are times when a misdeed can end well,
but a good deed can bring a bad ending.
What does that mean?
You and Brother Zhang really can't be together.
He's willing and I agree, so why can't we be together?
I was the one who picked this person and this road, I don't regret.
You're my Sister.
Can't you support me this time?
- He's a mortal after all. - Xu Xian is also a mortal!
Xiao Qing, you're situation is different from mines.
True, your cultivation is deep and mine is shallow.
There'll be many difficulties in the future, but so what?
Sister...if one day, you can separate from Master Xu, then you can come and separate me and Yutang.
Otherwise, I won't listen to another word!
It's already been three days, don't know how they argued to this extent.
- I'll go advise her. - Yes, yes, yes! Boss listens to you the most.
You go and tell her not to be angry with Miss Bai.
Although Qing'er's is a bit quick-tempered,
the main problem in this matter doesn't lie with her.
You mean to say...Miss Bai...
Physician Bai, if you have time, may I talk to you?
Let's go talk in at the backyard.
Yutang,
I treat Xiao Qing like my biological younger sister.
Physican Bai, if you really treat Qing'er like your biological younger sister then
If she was unyielding and spoke impudently,
may you not take it to heart.
Qing'er? When did you change that greeting?
Qing'er treats me differently.
I call her Qing'er, because I naturally want to call her differently from everyone else.
Physician Bai hinders our relationship,
is it because you're afraid I won't treat her well.
I'm afraid that she won't be worthy of you.
Physician Bai, Qing'er is the most kind-hearted person ever.
I swear, no matter how willful she is,
I'll always cherish her as the apple of my eye.
May Physician Bai consent.
I don't doubt your sincerity.
It's just that there are some reasons that I have no way of telling you in detail.
Parents are alive...not far away.
You're the only one left on your Mother's side.
It's best if you forgive Xiao Qing and go back to Shu Zhou.
Physican Bai!
- What's wrong, Brother Zhang? - Looks like this Baohe Hall can no longer accommodate us.
Yutang.
Sister, what did you do to him?
I'm alright. I'm just feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Haven't you been over angered? Let's go...don't have to be bothered with these petty annoyances.
Xiao Qing, where are you going? You can't continue to be entangled with him.
The world is so big, there'll be a place that will accommodate us.
From now on, you walk your bright road,
I'll go cross my single-log bridge. (I'll live my difficult life.)
Xiao Qing, stop right there!
Yutang, you leave first.
Wait for me to say goodbye to my sister.
You guys have a nice talk.
Don't worry.
Sister, after one hundred years, Xiao Qing will look for you again.
Absurd! I'm definitely leaving you here today.
You actually made a move against me?
Don't stop me or else don't blame me for not being courteous.
Xiao Qing, the situation is serious. Let me explain the circumstances to you,
or else you'll regret!
Sister...you've lost your spirit core now,
while the hundred days tribulation is coming.
In the past, Xiao Qing guarded you, protected you.
From now on, take good care of yourself.
Qing'er!
Qing'er! Qing'er! Xiao Qing.
This is your favorite tanghulu that you like to eat from the Li family.
It's tasty, not sticky. Have a taste.
Later on, I'll apologize to Physician Bai on your behalf. She'll forgive you.
Apologize for what? I've done nothing wrong.
Let's go, let's go. Let's go to a wine stop.
The boss was just fine this morning. Why did she suddenly say she'd leave and just left.
Even if she has to leave, she's not leaving us behind right?
Value her lover more than friends.
Who's her lover? Zhang Yutang, that fellow,
is he a good match for our boss?
This isn't a matter being a good match or not. It's about whether they can be...matched.
Not good. If we continue like this, it'll be a disaster.
I have to go look for her.
Miss Bai!
Sister's hundred days tribulation is coming soon.
These few days, her powers are so weak
that even I can control her.
What if... what if she meets a bad person.
This won't do!
Qing'er.
Sister has Master Xu's entire family taking care of her.
And also has Gui, Bao, and the rest to help her. No big deal to be without me.
but Yutang only has me.
I can't leave him.
Isn't it only a hundred years?
I'll just kowtow to Sister and admit that I was wrong.
