Two notices have been put up.
What does this say? It’s…
Come and have a look.
Everybody. Everybody.
Su Hu, Lord of Jizhou, will offer us food again.
The notice says
people are suffering from the great drought in spring.
Lord of Jizhou has decided
to offer food to us for three days every month.
Three days every month?
Come on. Get in for a full meal.
Hurry! Hurry! Go!
Finally we’ll have enough food.
- Here. Take it slowly. - Thank you.
- Take it slowly. Take it. - Thank you.
Take it.
How kind you are! Thank you!
Here.
Miss, I’ve been hungry for five days.
Thank you for saving me. Thanks.
You’re welcome.
The heaven gives rain and earth gives fruit.
We’re all people of the nation.
Grandma, come after you enjoy it.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Don’t grab! You’re in the Lord’s Mansion.
Behave yourselves.
Food is for everyone.
Li’er, don’t dress them down.
They’re starving.
How can starving people behave themselves?
Here. Take it.
Miss, you’re as beautiful as a fairy.
And you’re so kind.
May I have your name?
I’m Daji.
Oh, God.
You’re Miss Daji from Lord of Jizhou’s mansion?
I’ll burn incense every day to pray for you.
But I can’t afford incenses.
I’ll pray for you in my heart.
Got it.
Heart matters most. Thank you.
Here. Take it.
Lord Su Hu gave an order:
My son Yang Jian
needs a master
because he’s too impolite and incapable.
But he doesn’t listen to me.
I’m very anxious.
Whoever can defeat my son
will be recruited as his master
and be awarded with a decent horse.
Great. Great.
Sons of the lord are all useless.
In a few minutes,
I’ll make him admire me
and take me as his master.
Thank you. Thank you.
Take it.
Call him out.
- Come out! Where is he? - Thank you.
I’ll fight him.
I’d rather give up the decent horse.
Call Yang Jian out.
Let’s fight and see who is the real hero.
See who is the world’s hero.
They come to seek their doom.
Where’s my brother?
Where else can he be?
He must be sleeping late.
I’m scared.
I hope...
no one hurts today.
They want to be heroes.
Heroes hurt.
Young Master.
Warriors for fight have all arrived.
Hurry and get up.
Young Master. Young Master Yang Jian.
Got it.
Then get up!
Warriors have arrived.
I can beat them all to pieces
even with my eyes closed.
Thank you. Kind girl. Thank you.
Mom, let me help you..
Slow down.
Get out of the way.
Get out of the way, all of you.
Go. Go away.
Maorong.
Look! Su Hu is offering food again.
He likes to draw people over to his side.
It’s hard to see him through.
Mom.
Lord of Jizhou is benevolent. It’s the luck of the nation.
Just because of this,
he can have the beautiful daughter Daji.
You... You like Daji so much.
Jian’er.
You can’t draw it.
Dad.
Why can’t I draw the Xuan-Yuan Sword
over so many years?
Because it doesn’t belong to you now.
Who else does it belong to?
It belongs to the supreme hero.
What power does the sword have?
We don’t know
until we draw it.
Have you succeeded?
I haven’t even tried.
Then why don’t you try?
Because I’m only obligated to guard it,
instead of using it.
Dad.
Then where does the sword
come from?
Jian’er.
You’ve been curious about the sword.
When you were little,
I didn’t tell you about it.
Now you’ve grown up.
I’m going to tell you
the legend of Xuan-Yuan Sword.
Eight hundred years ago,
a turmoil broke out in the Heaven.
There was said to be
a fierce battle when the Primeval Lord of Heaven
fought with Grandmaster of Heaven
for the ownership of the whole world.
Back at that time,
they were fighting bitterly over the darkness.
Later...
when the sky went back to clearance,
someone saw a sword falling on the top of Mount Taishan.
That was
the Xuan-yuan Sword in front of you.
Therefore,
it was heaven-sent.
It fell into the secular world in the battle.
My Lord,
Lady Lyuqiu came all the way from Zhaoge
with her son Maorong
To visit you and her Ladyship.
Ask My Lady
to welcome them with me.
Su Hu.
Mm, your house
looks more beautiful than the imperial palace.
You’re flattering me.
The imperial palace belongs to His Majesty.
But this is a small house
where I live and work.
My Lady,
don’t accuse me of being disloyal.
Look how worried you are.
I was just giving a comment.
Your comment
truly shocked me.
Young Master Yang Jian, why haven’t you come out yet?
Are you scared?
He must have escaped because of fear.
Young Master Yang Jian, please come out.
Yeah, come out.
Here. Take it.
Here. Here.
Brother.
I’m hungry. I’m a refugee, too.
Look at you!
Don’t you feel ashamed?
Take it off.
Why?
Flowers are for wearing.
Surely not.
You should behave like a man.
Take it off.
Then why did you put it in my bowl?
With it in the water,
how can I drink the water?
I meant to get you up early.
Fine, then.
Young Master, it’s not a perfect time.
Look.
They’ve been waiting for you.
They’re waiting to teach you a lesson.
They’re not waiting for me, but the decent horse.
Brother, listen. Don’t get hurt today.
I won’t get hurt.
I mean don’t hurt them.
Sister.
You know me.
I’m always kind.
Go.
You...
You should go, too.
Young Master Maorong and Lady Lyuqiu have arrived.
I think they come for you.
Go and have a look.
I’ll see to it.
Thank you.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Take it.
Thank you.
There are you.
You’re Young Master Young Jian?
You’re the son of Lord of Jizhou?
Don’t I look like one?
You don’t look graceful at all.
You’re just like a scoundrel.
How do you like a royal son?
No wonder you need a master.
Don’t judge a man by his look.
You’re as blind as a bat.
How are you qualified to be my master?
Uh, Young Master, don’t say that.
Look how foolish you are.
Do you want to beat me
and show off?
Fine.
I’ll give you the chance.
See if you’re powerful enough
to take away the decent horse. Come on.
Okay. I’ll strike you down
before teaching you manners.
Go get your weapon.
Weapon?
I ate it.
Only this much left.
What? You don’t use a weapon?
And will you fight me bare-handed?
Not you.
But all of you.
Come on. All of you, come up.
He must be nuts.
How arrogant he is!
Young Master, if I devote every effort,
I’m afraid you’ll die.
Even if I die,
I’ll remember to give you the decent horse.
Don’t worry about that.
Nice try.
Brilliant. Brilliant.
Bravo.
Look.
Are you alright?
I’m fine. Thank you.
Look. Now heroes are cowards.
Get up! Keep fighting me.
You can defeat them.
But don’t humiliate them.
- What do you mean? - Nothing.
It’s a tournament.
You’re humiliating them.
Before the tournament,
they underestimated me
and boasted about their marital arts.
Shouldn’t I
treat them this way?
Of course not.
You, they and I
are ordinary people of our nation.
You shouldn’t hold yourself aloof
and override them.
I just look down upon such losers.
What do you want to do?
Nothing.
I just want you to apologize to them.
Apologize?
Yes. More than apologize.
I’ll make you get them up
one by one.
No way.
Here you are.
Look! They’re going to fight.
Damn.
My brother has a strong opponent.
Miss, your mother asks to see you right now.
Is it Lady Lyuqiu who wants to see me?
Yes.
Your mother also asked Sis. Li’er
to dress you up.
Go tell her
- Miss is coming right away. - Yes.
Miss, let’s go.
Young Master Maorong is waiting for you.
Let’s go.
Your brother will be fine.
Let’s hurry.
- Take it. It’s yours. - Thank you.
What if I don’t apologize?
Then I’ll treat you
in the way you treated them.
Well, you look
exactly like a woodman who doesn’t know martial arts.
Are you going to fight me?
Do I look like kidding?
Okay. I’ll apologize to them.
Thanks.
On the premise that
they apologize to me first.
I didn’t expect to see
such an arrogant son of Lord of Jizhou.
Man, you’re humiliating my father.
He’s not your father.
You...
don’t deserve to be his son.
Apologize.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Nice fight!
Bravo. Bravo.
Boy, watch clearly.
You should
punch like this.
It’s fun, then. Great.
You should
kick like this.
Bravo.
Powerful! Impressive.
Impressive!
Apologize.
Well, don’t blame me for
doing you a mischief.
Bravo. Bravo. Nice fight!
Hero. Hero. Hero. Bravo!
I’m not a hero.
You’re not losers, either.
Now...
All of you, leave here.
Hurry.
Go. Go. Go.
I...
I apologize.
I come here
to propose a marriage.
I want to propose to your daughter Daji,
for my son Maorong.
It’s the list of my betrothal presents. Please look it over.
Two thousand taels of gold.
Ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten jade plates. A hundred bolts of silk.
A hundred cattle and a thousand sheep.
Uh, Lady Lyeqiu.
This is too valuable.
However valuable it is,
it’s not good enough for your daughter, I suppose.
Thank you for your great kindness.
May I ask...
if your elder brother Lord Fei Zhong
know about your trip here?
You wonder
if he agrees to this marriage, don’t you?
Yes.
My Lord.
To be honest, ‘
my brother Fei Zhong
advised me to come.
Why?
Everyone in the royal court knows that
your daughter Daji
is the most beautiful girl in the world.
It will be my son’s luck
if he can marry Daji.
It’s the luck of our family.
By the way,
my brother Fei Zhong asked me
to bring a silk manuscript to you.
My Lady,
what’s in the silk manuscript?
I have no idea.
But he said,
no one else should read it,
except you.
I see.
Lady Lyuqiu,
Su Hu and I really appreciate your kindness.
But marriage is important.
Could we discuss about it?
Please stay in our house for a couple of days,
so that we can treat you well.
Of course you should discuss about it.
But please do it right now.
I’ll wait right here.
You mean we should
make an immediate decision?
Yes.
May you excuse us.
Okay.
I’ll be waiting.
I expect to see Miss Daji.
I also want to see...
Who else would you like to see?
Your foster son,
Yang Jian.
Why do you want to see him?
Well...
My brother Fei Zhong asked me to see him.
Because...
He wants to marry his daughter
to Yang Jian.
In this way,
we’ll be closer, won’t we?
Yes, My Lady.
Is she proposing?
She’s obviously forcing us.
Lady Lyuqiu’s elder brother
is Fei Zhong, the trusted follower of King of Shang.
She must have come all the way,
under the order of Fei Zhong.
Why did she
insist on meeting Yang Jian?
What does she want
from our son?
Didn’t she say?
Fei Zhong wants to marry his daughter to him.
Fei Zhong doesn’t have a daughter.
I see.
She came for Yang Jian.
It’s been twenty years.
But Fei Zhong
never gives up looking for him.
Now...
They finally come to us.
Master.
The disaster is coming.
Convinced?
I learnt it. I should punch like this.
Now you owe me an apology, too.
I only apologize with my punch. Sorry.
Be careful.
You are not such an asshole.
You don’t seem to have much to teach me, either.
Again.
Miss.
- What are you yelling for? - Miss.
I got up close and saw him.
Who?
Young Master Maorong.
How handsome he is!
You and he
will make the perfect match.
Enough.
Sure.
Young Master Yang Jian is also cute.
But he’s your elder brother.
However much you love each other,
you can’t marry each other, can you?
I think...
Do you take it granted as love
just because you grow up
with Young Master Yang Jian?
Miss, your mother asked if you were ready.
Lady Lyuqiu is waiting for you.
She wants you to hurry up.
- Tell her Miss is on her way. - Yes.
Look.
You’re the most beautiful girl in the world.
No.
I’m not going to see Lady Lyuqiu.
Miss.
Tired, aren’t you?
Cut the crap. Go on.
Come on.
I’m not afraid of you.
Come on. Come on.
You come!
Come on.
What are you laughing at?
You...
Maorong.
Why hasn’t Daji come to see me yet?
Even Su Hu hasn’t shown up.
How impolite they are!
Daji hasn’t come because she’s shy.
Su Hu hasn’t come because he’s scared.
How do you know?
My Lady.
So sorry.
My daughter had a cold the other day.
She hasn’t recovered yet.
It’s not convenient for her to meet you.
We’re overwhelmed by your kindness.
But we still need to
considerate carefully about her marriage.
Humph.
I come all the way,
but fail to see her.
- I’m afraid it’s not okay. - Mom.
Daji is fine.
She saw you.
But you didn’t see her.
When?
Just when we got off the carriage.
She was right in front of you.
I didn’t see her.
You didn’t see her,
because you never looked at the poor.
Do you remember?
When we got off and came in,
they were offering food to the poor.
You said Su Hu wanted to draw people over to his side.
Maorong.
When you were talking,
a girl in plain clothes were offering food
in the yard.
Wherever she stood,
I could recognize her.
Su Hu, listen.
My son and your daughter
are heaven-made fate.
A perfect match.
My son recognized her
even when she stood among the poor in plain clothes.
Isn’t this fate?
I didn’t only see Daji.
I also saw your secret thought.
What... what thought?
You’re not coming to get me a wife.
Instead, Fei Zhong asked you
to look for the bane Yang Jian.
He was the son of Yaoji,
born on the night
when the Star of Emperor fell.
Fei Zhong has been looking for him over the past twenty years.
- Maorong. - Mom.
Would you like me
to summon all of them?
Witchcraft.
Yang Jian, I suppose some demon has entered.
Dad. Mom.
Daji.
Yang Jian.
Come on, Daji.
Come to me
and enter my pot.
You belong to me.
Maorong.
I don’t even know you can play the instrument.
There’re a lot you don’t know.
For example...
You don’t even know who I am.
Son.
What are you talking about?
I don’t understand.
What... what are you doing?
Tell me.
Why are you doing this?
I just want to use your identity to come here,
so that I can marry Daji.
She’s the peerless girl in the world.
The sweet soul I’ve been looking for.
You...
You’re not Maorong.
You’re... a demon.
I planned to
put you in my pot
after I collect Daji’s soul.
But now I’ve changed my mind.
Because your soul is so dirty
that it may stain my pot.
- So. - What do you want?
You demon!
Where is my son?
- What did you do to him? – So...
I’ll just let you meet your son
in the hell.
Master.
My Lady.
Come on, Daji.
Come to me.
Come into my nectar pot.
You’re mine.
Mine.
Hurry.
Demon, stop.
Daji.
Xuan-Yuan Sword?
I didn’t expect you to have it.
I’ve been longing for it for eight hundred years.
- Give it to me. - Demon.
If you keep doing witchcraft,
I’ll kill you.
Kill me?
Fine.
Come on.
Pull it out.
Surprisingly, good things come in pairs.
Today I can collect Daji,
and get the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
Su Hu.
Give the sword to me and you’ll live.
Stop.
Lord Su.
Dad.
Come on.
Boy.
It’s been twenty years. You’ve grown up.
I wonder if you’ve grow powerful.
Wait to die, Demon.
Give the sword to me.
Or you’ll die.
Yang Jian, get up.
Da... Dad.
Holy Lord.
I didn’t annoy you.
What are you angry at?
It’s my bad luck today.
But Daji...
She will be mine.
