[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 11]
Fo Ye, say—
Fo Ye, it's done.
[Xinyue Hotel]
Guests, let's now continue with the last performance for the night.
For those who want to join the naming of the opera to be performed, please name your price.
I'll pick! I'll pick!
Here! Here!
- Hello. - So interesting.
Quickly come here!
Hello.
Officer, let's pick an opera, too.
Give her 500 dollars. Just choose any that you want. You choose.
Thank you, Brother Songren.
Sister, let's pick Mu Kezhai.
Okay.
Go. Go.
[The Mystic Nine]
Officer Liu Songren of Xuzhou has bid the highest price and gets to name the opera to be performed.
Mu Kezhai.
Good! Good!
Mu Kezhai...
It's indeed a good opera.
Where's Peng Sanbian?
He's over there, Miss.
Those twin Hua Sisters love beauty and vanity.
You must think of a way to make them choose the opera "Mu Kezhai."
Once the drum starts, I'll move according to the beat.
Although those hearing servants have exceptional hearing skills,
with such a mixture of sounds, they surely can't hear overlapping sounds.
Our time is limited. I must fulfill my mission before the opera ends.
This is quite a risky move. However, there seems to be no other way.
Fo Ye, you must be very careful. Don't force it.
You can't go up!
No one's allowed to enter?
I got it. I got it now.
Isn't that Peng Sanbian?
Why is he here?
Could it be...
How did he get up?
How come the baton guards and hearing servants didn't react at all?
Did he come to look for me?
Could he be worried that I look ugly
so he deliberately came to check me out?
For this point, we're quite similar.
But there are so many rooms here, will he be able to find me?
I don't care anymore.
Too chaotic.
This one... is too... soft.
Too plain.
Too exaggerated.
On our first meeting, I shouldn't look too prepared.
It's better to be more natural.
How come he's still not here?
When we were at the train station, he seemed to be quite smart.
Okay then. I'll give you a clue.
There's something wrong upstairs.
You two, come with me.
How come he's still not here yet?
I've already made my clue so obvious.
Stupid.
Could he have left?
How come that man was so impatient?
He left after just looking for a while?
Each collector has their own collecting habit. And there are so many items here.
Just to conveniently manage them, there must be an order on how they are placed.
What could it be?
It's not based on the era, the category item, or on the material.
Could it be based on the price?
- You... - What about me?
You can't recognize me anymore?
You are really a person of great status that you easily forget.
Misters, you must have exhausted yourself from the travel.
Welcome to our great Beiping. I'm your driver, Xiao Xin.
Why are you here?
Curiously looking around.
Curious?
If you still don't let me out, they will be here soon.
Hearing servant.
No matter what you hear later, you're not allowed to come up here.
But Miss, I...
This is an order.
Yes.
I even saw you wearing it earlier. You're so careless.
Wait! Wait!
Do you need anything?
Actually, I just...
This person is so strange. Let's go.
Stop right there!
From where did a crazy man like you come from?
Try looking carefully who we are before casually trying to pick us up.
I think you don't want to live anymore.
I just
noticed how you two were rushing around and looked fatigued.
I'm guessing that you two must have encountered a problem.
None of your business. So nosy.
Miss, you said it wrong.
The two of us meeting is surely fated.
I can see foul air rising in between your eyebrows.
Your face is being covered by dark clouds.
It's a sign of getting robbed or going bankrupt.
You are... a fortune teller?
Purely just a past time interest.
Can you predict where I lost my item?
Can I borrow your jade-like hand for a look?
An uninvited guest comes. Respect them and one's luck ends.
Although it's not in the right place, the loss won't be great.
Miss, your palm is showing
that you didn't lose your item.
You must have misplaced it somewhere.
This place has water and stones.
Miss, think about it carefully. Have you been in such a place?
Or maybe, when you were washing your hands,
you removed the item and forgot to wear it again.
What my little sister lost is indeed a bracelet.
You were even able to guess that? You're so good!
I know where it is! It must be that fake mountain in the back garden. I went there this afternoon.
It must be there. It must be there.
Thank you, Master, for guiding me.
Once I find my item, I will surely heavily reward you.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Miss, quickly go look for it. Any delay may change your fate.
Yes. Yes. I must quickly go there. If it gets picked up by other people,
I would surely feel bad about it.
Miss, please quickly go.
Thank you, Master.
I dare not accept such bows. Please go now.
Let's go.
Putting on extravagant clothes. Wearing gold and silver.
How could you really keep hold of that bracelet?
Peng Sanbian, my Xinyue Hotel treated you as an important guest.
I never thought, that not only are you not contented, you even attempted to rob us.
Tell me. What really were you searching for earlier?
I'm warning you to not have any devious ideas.
In here, just lightly stomping my foot
and I can make you unable to escape even if you have wings.
Even if you luckily escape, it's hard to say what will happen to your accomplice.
I never thought despite looking so decent,
you were also a thief greedy of wealth and fame.
Miss, you've misunderstood.
I'm not like what you're thinking. I have my difficulties.
Really?
I'll give you a chance to explain yourself.
I traveled long to come to Beiping to look for a medicine.
My buddy's lover is severely sick.
We must find this medicine to save her.
I also just had a moment of being muddled; hence, I did such a thing.
Sorry. Sorry.
Fine.
You do know the rules of our hotel.
There are only two ways that you can get that medicine out of here.
One is tomorrow's auction. Take it using your ability.
Second is you pay for it with your life. The item will be buried with you.
Which do you choose?
I will think about it well.
Thanks.
Did you really just come here for the medicine?
Yes.
Fine! Go now!
That Peng Sanbian...
He clearly knows who I am, yet he pretended that he didn't.
I'm so mad.
He still hasn't come down yet. Did anything bad happen?
Fo Ye, how was it?
- Let's talk once we're back in our room. - Okay.
Miss, what happened earlier?
Watch that Peng Sanbian closely and that assistant of his.
Tell me immediately if you find out anything.
Yes.
Fo Ye, how was it? Did you get it?
The item seems to not be there.
That's right, too. It would be quite abnormal if we were able to obtain it that easily.
Your move earlier was so dangerous. Good thing, nothing bad happened.
I was discovered.
Then... you fought with them? Did you get hurt?
No. The person who found me didn't reveal her identity.
If my guess is right, that person who's able to live in the top floor of this hotel...
Hearing servants!
No matter what sound you hear later, don't come up.
But Miss, I...
This is an order.
...and able to make the hearing servants follow her command
must be the legendary daughter of the owner of Xinyue Hotel.
She's that little driver guy who fetched us from the train station.
Misters, you must be exhausted from your travel.
Welcome to our great Beiping. I'm your driver, Xiao Xin.
Let's immediately set out to Xinyue Hotel. The travel will take around 30 minutes.
You can sleep or admire the scenery along the way.
He's a woman?!
She's a person of Xinyue Hotel, yet she didn't expose me.
I also couldn't guess what she was thinking.
How come that rich daughter keeps appearing around us?
Based on how she's acting,
she and that Peng Sanbian don't seem to be old acquaintances.
Did we miss any information about him?
I also don't know.
Since the medicine isn't in the treasure room,
it is surely in some other place
that's being heavily guarded.
Fo Ye, what should we do next?
We surely won't be able to steal it. We're left with one last path,
the auction. We have to get it in an open and aboveboard manner.
Looks like we indeed must spend some money.
I also saw the Japanese today.
The Japanese are also here?
Damn it. They really won't go away.
They joined this auction
surely not just for those little items.
They are here for the last three medicines.
Why must they join in the fun? That bunch of lice.
Do they understand traditional Chinese medicine?
Fo Ye, do we have enough money?
My god! Fo Ye, you're really so generous!
We must find out their purpose. We can't just sit and wait for death.
Fo Ye, the security of Xinyue Hotel is too tight.
If you go again, you will surely get discovered by them.
Let me go this time.
Chairman, this way please.
Chairman, this way.
Chairman.
Okay. Have you prepared the money to be used for the auction?
Yes. All is prepared.
Because we have the support of the Chamber of Commerce, the funds will not be a problem.
Very good. The Chinese culture is vast and profound.
The items to be auctioned this time can be described using the Chinese saying,
"Can be encountered but not wished for." This will be a great investment opportunity.
Yes.
Fo Ye, the Japanese have funding support from the Chamber of Commerce.
If during the auction we see the item that we want,
if we go head to head with them, how big will be our chance to win?
Looks like this time, we indeed didn't prepare enough.
But the auction is tomorrow. Where will we get that much money?
An urgent telegram from Beiping. Please have a look.
Prepare the car. Inform the First Company to immediately gather.
Yes!
Lieutenant Zhang, you're here.
Butler, Fo Ye asked me to get something.
Fo Ye has already informed me. I've prepared the items.
This way please.
Let's go.
I've prepared all of them. This is all of it.
Don't leave anything. Move them all!
Slowly.
They're moving them all.
[Baotai Bank]
One red glazed plate during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty:
top quality.
A pair of jade bracelets from the Tang Dynasty:
top quality.
A Dingyao porcelain with a veiled and double fish design from the Song dynasty:
top quality.
A white jade hairpin from the Qing Dynasty:
top quality.
[Xinyue Hotel]
Everyone, look very closely.
The amount guaranteed here is quite big.
But Fo Ye needs the money urgently. We're giving all we got just for Fo Ye.
Owners, have you finished discussing?
We're done.
Fo Ye, the preparations are complete.
Okay.
[Xinyue Hotel]
Fo Ye, can you see the special seats in front?
The one adjacent to us seems to be a descendant of the Manchurian dynasty.
A generous prince.
Having a bit of money in his hand, not worthy to be feared.
On the VIP seat in front, the one wearing a suit,
he must be the chairman of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.
Adjacent to him, there must be someone behind those blinds.
Acting so mysteriously. There must be someone behind that.
Look.
Let's just observe and act accordingly.
Honored guests, the auction will be starting soon.
During the auction process, may everyone maintain silence.
We've prepared pictures of the auctioned items for everyone, so you can study it for reference.
The rules of our auction is that the lowest bidding price is always ¥50,000.
There's no maximum price. You all must watch closely.
If you're unable to bid for it, you won't have another chance.
Next is the first item for auction today.
We'll display it now.
The auction starts now.
It's starting. Officer, let's bid.
You call the price.
Let's bid, too.
Continue. Continue adding the bid.
Bid higher.
Congratulations, Officer Liu for winning the first auction for today: the porcelain with the fish shadow and green lotus design.
Congratulations!
Sorry to have beaten all of you.
Thank you.
May I ask who you are? Do you have an invitation?
Cut with your nonsense.
Let me tell you that there's a fake Peng Sanbian inside. Call him out here!
Oh? You're here to look for Peng Sanbian?
Look carefully.
I'm Peng Sanbian. The one inside is fake!
Xinyue Hotel has always given out one invitation per person.
Only when both person and invitation are present can we allow entry. This is the rule.
What bullshit rule is that?!
Let me tell you that not only am I your hotel's guest,
I'm even the future son-in-law of your owner.
I want to see your owner and personally talk with him.
- Move aside! - Don't move! - Don't you dare act wildly here! I don't care even if you are the king.
What are you all doing? You dare to stop me? You're seeking death.
- Stop right there! - Don't move!
How about this?
You all just wait here. I'll inform our owner.
Miss! We have a problem! Someone wants to force their way in!
Just kick them out then. Why must you panic like that?
But that person outside is claiming that he's your future husband, Peng Sanbian.
What?
