[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 3]
Chief!
- What's the matter? - Bad news.
The Iron Buffalo broke free of its cage.
Search the mountain immediately.
It must not leave the premises.
Did you kill it?
I only struck it on its Gate of Life acupoint.
That's enough to make it dizzy for some time.
What should we do now?
The Iron Buffalo is a sacred beast of the ancient firmament.
It shouldn't be out here.
It must have broken out of its cage.
I bet that within an hour, someone will come looking for it.
Get going before they find us.
You... Aren't you going to kill me?
You're smart.
You should understand that it's best to act sensible.
If you wish to live, keep your mouth shut.
You're smart too.
You should know that if you wear a mask for too long
you might forget who you truly are.
Quickly! Over there!
Hurry up!
Faster!
Over there! Quickly!
Who did this?
When I become the next Chief of Xuanyuan Sect
I'll make sure that you'll no longer be a servant.
Then, I'll make it known to everyone that you're mine.
Fu Yao.
I knew that you'd be here.
You nearly made a glaring mistake yesterday.
Senior Yan, what have I done wrong?
You suddenly showed up in the garden when I was with Pei Yuan.
You know that I'm engaged to her now.
Yes, you're right to reprimand me.
I should have shown myself more respect.
I'm ignorant of my lowly status.
I always make trouble for you.
Senior Yan, rest assured.
I won't trouble you ever again.
Look at you.
You're still so hot-headed.
I haven't finished what I was saying.
Senior Yan, conduct yourself with respect.
Are you still angry?
Fu Yao...
Even if I marry Pei Yuan, it doesn't mean that my love for you has changed
or that I'll stop protecting you.
What do you mean by that?
I had no choice but to marry Pei Yuan because of her uncle's authority.
But my feelings for you are the same.
In the future, when I've built up a solid foundation at the capital
I'll marry you, take you as my concubine, and treat you just as well I always have.
You--
Senior Yan, you want to make me your concubine?
I know that it's quite unfair to you.
But this is the best solution.
I've already planned it all out.
When I leave for the capital, I'll take you with me.
One day, when you become my concubine, you'll no longer be a slave.
Then, you'll live a life of abundance and luxury.
Senior, is this what you think of me?
None of that is what I want.
Yuan.
Your father has been concerned about your marriage.
Now, it seems that you've set your sights on someone here.
Why don't I make a decision on behalf of your father
to propose marriage to Chief Yan?
How would you like that?
Uncle...
Elder Statesman Qi, I'm too flattered.
Jing Chen, shouldn't you drink a toast to Elder Statesman Qi right away?
Elder Statesman Qi, thank you for your appreciation.
However, my status differs greatly from that of Junior Pei's.
I'm afraid it's unfair for her to marry below her status.
Yuan doesn't mind.
What about you?
Thank you, Uncle.
Junior Pei.
Why don't I comb your hair for you?
Young Mistress! Young Mistress!
What's the matter?
I just saw that Senior Yan went out with the Xuanyou Division's Fu Yao again!
Where are they?
Fu Yao, what more do you want?
I can offer you freedom and the life you seek.
Apart from a legitimate marriage, you also have my heart!
I don't need anyone to offer me the life I seek out of charity.
I can work for it myself.
Although I'm not well educated
I know that...
being in love means being devoted wholeheartedly.
You mean...
you're not willing to be my concubine.
Love can't be shared.
Why can't you be sensible?
Pei Yuan is from an aristocratic family.
How can I afford to offend her?
However wonderful you may be, you were born a slave, after all.
My father will never permit us to marry!
Pei Yuan...
I have no choice but to marry her.
I'll... I'll give you my blessings.
But I can't bear to leave you.
Fu Yao...
From the very first time I set my eyes on you
and taught you martial arts secretly...
Whenever you made mistakes, I covered for you.
I defended you.
Fu Yao, marriage is not a romantic relationship.
I'm a man of great ambition.
Between my career and romance, I'm left with just one choice.
From now on...
I'll never again impose on you.
Fu Yao!
Young Mistress, why aren't you going after that wench?
How dare they meet secretly behind your back!
If you can't bear to lose Senior Yan
I'll have that wench abducted and killed out in the wilderness!
No one will ever pose a threat to your marriage!
Young Mistress!
I'm A-Lie!
You lowly servants!
You're all as wretched as bugs!
How dare she snatch what is mine!
Young Mistress! Young Mistress!
Young Mistress!
I always get what I want!
Even if he's destroyed, he can only be mine!
I won't let you off.
I'll make your life a living hell!
Senior, have you registered for the Warrior Hunt?
Me? My skills are not good enough.
The Warrior Hunt is such a dangerous contest.
It's best not to participate.
I wonder who's participating?
Exactly.
Let's take a look. Come!
Isn't that the slave from the Xuanyou Division?
Exactly. She even dared to register for the Warrior Hunt!
She thinks too highly of herself.
A lowly slave is going to compete with us.
Wouldn't it make Xuanyuan Sect a laughing stock if anyone hears of it?
Senior Yan!
You--
Why?
What is it?
Why did you submit your ticket?
Why are you participating in the Warrior Hunt?
The Warrior Hunt?
I don't know anything about that.
You're even lying to me now?
If you didn't register for it, how could your name be on the list?
Senior Yan, have you come to accuse me for no reason?
I'm accusing you?
All tickets must be stamped with the blood of the participants.
That's how the names appear above the Armillary Cauldron.
Look!
The wound is still fresh.
Don't tell me someone else submitted your ticket for you?
When did I get pricked?
Why don't I remember?
Fu Yao.
Are you holding a grudge because of what I said yesterday?
How can you act so willfully?
How many stages do you think you can get through
with those weak skills of yours?
You knew that I'd protect you if you participate in it.
I'll be distracted if I do that.
Will you have me focus on competing or on protecting you?
What kind of predicament have you put me in?
I thought that you were angry out of your concern for me.
I didn't realize that I was just a burden to you.
You--
Not to mention the fact that I didn't register for it.
But even if I do participate, I won't be a burden to you.
Fu Yao, I'm trying so earnestly to dissuade you.
Are you still going to be so stubborn?
You've really let me down.
You're the one who let me down.
[Fu Yao]
Mentor.
Come in.
What's the matter?
Mentor, do you remember Fu Yao, the lowly slave from Xuanyou Division?
She submitted her ticket to participate in the Warrior Hunt.
Indeed. How can we allow a servant to mess around
in the century-old tradition of the Warrior Hunt?
Fu Yao acts so boldly because Senior Yan treats her kindly.
She's in charge of cleaning Jing Chen's quarters.
They grew up together so it's normal that he favors her a bit more.
Jing Chen just acted out of kindness.
If you find her annoying, just get rid of her.
If I kill her, Senior Yan will think that I'm too petty.
But if I her live, how can I set my mind at ease?
You must've already come up with a plan, haven't you?
Mentor, I'd like you to let her participate in the contest.
Her skills are so poor that she will be killed in the first round.
All right.
Father!
Mentor, Senior Yan is here to speak with you.
I'll take my leave.
Go on.
What's the matter?
Father, I find the registration for this year's Warrior Hunt quite odd.
Fu Yao couldn't possibly have registered for it.
I think that perhaps there's some misunderstanding.
Is it Fu Yao again?
You're even lying to me now?
All tickets must be stamped with the blood of the participants.
That's how the names appear above the Armillary Cauldron.
Look! The wound is still fresh.
Don't tell me someone else submitted your ticket for you?
I didn't do it.
Who was it?
Father, Fu Yao is inept and poorly trained in martial arts.
Not only will it do her no good to participate
but it would also bring shame upon our sect.
Besides, as the regulations state
Fu Yao isn't a disciple of the Xuanzheng Division
so she shouldn't be selected.
It's only reasonable that you disqualify her.
Disqualify her?
You make it sound so simple.
The Warrior Hunt has been held for over 120 years.
Unless in death, no disciple has ever withdrawn after registering for it.
This is the rule.
Since she violated our regulations to begin with...
she should bear the consequences and punishments.
But...
But she's just a woman with very basic martial arts skills.
She was born a slave.
She should be killed for even registering for the Warrior Hunt.
Now, I've fulfilled her wish.
- What else am I to do? - Father!
That's enough!
Tell me.
Do you know why Qi Zhen chose to tie a marital bond with us?
Xuanyuan Sect is held in high regard throughout the five kingdoms.
Even as the elder statesman, he has to show us some respect.
A marriage with Xuanyuan Sect is sure to be praised far and wide.
It's good that you're aware of it.
The Warrior Hunt is a crucial contest.
Your marriage with Pei Yuan is already set and sealed.
In every aspect, she's pleasing to the eye.
She's somewhat worthy of you.
Junior Pei is from a prestigious family.
She's prim and dignified.
I actually think that perhaps I'm the one who might not--
Who taught you that?
You're actually demeaning yourself!
Isn't it a blessing to be favored by Xuanyuan Sect's young master?
The former heir apparent passed away abruptly
and the political climate is in chaos.
It's best for you and Xuanyuan Sect
that the Pei family is tying a marital bond with us.
Then... what about Fu Yao?
Throughout history, so many ambitious men were held back by romantic relationships.
In the end, the relationships ended, and so did their ambitions.
You're my one and only son.
I've placed all my hopes on you.
I've invested everything I have to educate and train you.
Considering the current situation
any distraction that hinders you must be removed.
If you're distracted by such trivial matters again
I won't let you off easily!
Step aside!
Fu Yao, stop fooling around!
Are you out of your mind?
I heard that you registered for the Warrior Hunt! Are you crazy?
You... you're the crazy one.
Careful of the fire!
You can't participate! You'll die!
What are you doing?
Uncle Zhou, look at her!
She's playing with fire.
You! Come have a few drinks with me.
Uncle Zhou--
I won't.
Uncle Zhou, stop her from participating.
- Fu Yao, don't participate. - Go away.
Don't!
Don't take part in the contest!
Don't do it!
Come on!
Let's clink the cups!
Clink the cups!
You've even gotten better than me at drinking!
I'll pour you some more.
- Leave it to me. - I'll do it!
Cheers.
I had put this wine away to be had on your 18th birthday.
Wasn't I adopted?
How would anyone know my birthday?
Fu Yao!
You should leave.
What?
There will be a horse carriage outside the entrance tomorrow.
Don't make a sound.
Get on the carriage.
It will take you away from Quan City.
All right?
Go on. Go get ready.
You must've had too much to drink.
Where am I to go?
Go somewhere faraway!
Don't ever come back here.
I'm not leaving.
What will happen to you if I leave?
What about Seven?
What about everyone in Xuanyou Division?
Stay out of it.
How can I?
If I leave, I can survive on my own, no matter what happens.
But what about all of you?
If I leave, i would get the entire division in trouble.
Their lives will be in danger!
What have they done wrong?
How can I just leave like that?
You don't have a say in this matter!
Listen up!
From this moment forth, I'm no longer your Uncle Zhou!
Uncle Zhou!
I...
I've learned some basic martial arts skills.
Don't worry.
I might still be able to make it out of the Warrior Hunt alive.
Some basic skills won't get you through
the perils of the Warrior Hunt!
Haven't you often told me to succumb to my fate?
If that is my fate, I can only accept it.
But I don't want you to accept it!
I don't want to drink with you ever again.
I... I'm done talking.
I'm going around to the back of the mountain.
"Fu Yao?" (Means "to soar with the wind.")
Interesting.
"Why don't you ride with the wind and soar way up high into the sky?"
It's so late. Aren't you going to get some rest?
Fu Yao!
I behaved badly.
I misunderstood you.
My apologies.
I believe that you didn't submit your ticket.
There must be some sort of a mistake.
So what?
I've pleaded with my father.
But the rules of the Warrior Hunt are like this.
There's nothing I can do.
Fu Yao.
When the Warrior Hunt begins, just stay hidden and I'll protect you.
Just stay safe, all right?
Senior Yan.
I believe that life and death are fated.
If this is my fate, I'll accept it.
Senior Yan, you should get some rest.
I'd like to be alone.
Look!
Who is he?
He seems to be Chief Yan's only son.
He does look as impressive as rumored.
I guess Xuanyuan Sect does have a competent successor.
Exactly.
Chief, it is time.
The Warrior Hunt begins now.
Yes, Mentor!
Participants! The first round of the Warrior Hunt is designed by me.
Why bring us here?
Elder, what is this place?
The Underground Palace of Spirits.
"The Underground Palace of Spirits?"
I heard that Grand Mentor once sealed
a sacred beast of the ancient firmament here.
- Could it be-- - Exactly.
This is the underground palace that keeps the beast sealed.
It was the Grand Mentor who sealed it in here.
Since the beast is sealed, what are we doing here?
Combat the sacred beast.
And seal it again.
How do we seal it?
There are two basic spiritual forces practiced by the Xuanyuan Sect.
One is the force of dissipation
and the other, the essence of requiem.
Use whichever you are more familiar with.
Divide into two teams and line up on both sides.
Pick your teams now.
I've already opened the entrance to the underground palace.
The sacred beast will soon be awakened.
Why haven't you chosen a team?
I haven't learned either of the basic spiritual forces.
I can't wield it.
Go over to the Green Team!
Stop right there!
Who let you join us?
The Green Team mustn't be burdened by a lowly slave.
Exactly!
How can we let a slave join us?
I'll be my own team.
The outcome is mine alone to bear.
You want to take on the sacred beast alone?
Dear child, that will cost you your life!
She'll join me!
No team will lose.
Don't worry.
Fu Yao, just hide behind me.
Just make sure that you stay alive, all right?
Come.
Two teams have been formed.
Bear this in mind.
The Green Team can only wield the force of dissipation.
The White Team can only wield the essence of requiem.
Both spiritual forces can render the scared beast unconscious temporarily.
The collar is the relic used to seal it.
Put the collar on to subdue it.
Then the first round of the Warrior Hunt will end.
The winning team will move on to the next round!
We'll all get to move on to the next round.
Senior Yan, she still counts as a member of the Green Team.
In my opinion, we should just make the slave wait here.
We'll pick her up after we've subdued the beast.
After all, it makes no difference whether or not she tags along.
She mustn't be a burden to Senior Yan.
I won't be a burden to anyone.
Including Senior Yan.
- Chief Yan. - Yes?
Mount Xuanyuan is like a huge maze.
You've chosen this as the exit for the Warrior Hunt.
Will there be any changes?
The regulations of the Warrior Hunt were made long ago.
I've taken all sorts of situations and stages into consideration.
After they enter the Underground Palace of Spirits
the entrance will be closed off.
This is the only exit.
Elder Statesman, have some patience.
Everything is under my control.
Good!
I'm looking forward to it.
Run!
Hide over here.
I'll come look for you so don't stir up any trouble, all right?
- Senior Yan, I can tackle it. - Hide well!
Senior Yan!
Junior Pei!
Are you all right?
Is Jing Chen's team the Green Team?
Yes.
Chief Yan, it seems that the White Team is in bad shape.
This won't do!
I have a method to immobilize it.
What is it?
This isn't the time to throw a tantrum!
We'll attack it at the same time.
I'll take it from the front and you, from the back.
Attack!
Senior Yan!
