"How tall are you"
The Celestial Court's affairs
has got me dizzy
I come out for a walk occasionally
to maintain the soberness in my head.
Xiaoqi?
Such a coincidence?
King Father.
Why aren't you calling me "Emperor Daddy"?
It seems to be more polite to call "King Father".
Yes.
But it's not affectionate enough.
Look at yourself.
After eating Di-Guas (sweet potatoes) for a few days,
you look better.
King Father, thank you for your concern.
Xiaoqi shall leave first.
You
Do you have anything to tell King Father?
Don't you have many opinions?
Xiaoqi is very satisfied with everything.
What are you talking about?
Even I have many things
that I am discontented with.
Xiaoqi,
how can you compromise with everything?
Pull yourself together!
Like King Father
Listen to Taishang Laojun.
[Lao-zi, one of the esteemed deities]
When I have a headache,
I'll never eat that "Dispel-Troubles-Calming" Pill again.
I must do more exercise.
Not only can it strengthen the body
It can even get rid of troubles Look!
Xiaoqi.
King Father gives you permission
to turn this rock as big as you can.
See if I'm tough enough to withstand it.
It can even flatten me.
Aren't I remarkable?
King Father.
Take your time To train
Xiaoqi!
Xiaoqi!
Oh no! Oh no!
Xiaoqi
What's wrong with Xiaoqi?
She could have made fun of me.
But she didn't.
What are you talking about?
Do you think it's strange?
Even the way she walks is like this
Don't you think
This is worrying?
You mean
Xiaoqi has become obedient and demure?
She's not playful, doesn't play pranks, right?
Yes Yes
Didn't you find Xiaoqi too mischievous
that it infuriates you so much?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Why don't you go and celebrate it with the world?
That's true
But
What now?
This means
She's no different from the other 6 princesses.
She has no character at all.
Then do you mean
Compared with the Xiaoqi like a wooden block now,
you prefer that bubbly, cheerful and mischievous Xiaoqi?
I'd rather she
Didn't change.
Jade Emperor,
if you had realized this truth earlier,
we wouldn't have to go to all that trouble
to send Xiaoqi to the mortal world.
It was your suggestion to send her to the mortal world.
If I didn't have you, the Jade Emperor's permission,
how would I dare to?
You're saying that
I was wrong?
How would I dare to? It's my fault.
Why?
It's all my fault!
What's wrong?
After Xiaoqi is back,
everyone is weird
2nd Sis,
what are you doing here?
I'm waiting for Limao.
[I used to call her Leopard but she's really more like a fox, soz for the confusion.]
Is Limao back?
What about Dong Yong? How's he?
It should be here
This is the Celestial River's end
in the mortal world?
Jie-Jie!
[Jie-Jie = Elder sister]
We have to send the signal to 2nd Princess
before the Celestial soldiers arrive.
She'll use her powers to bring us back.
How is it possible that King Father
is unaware of Limao's whereabouts?
Even if she returns safely with Banana Fairy,
she won't be able to avoid King Father's
severe punishment.
I released Limao.
If anyone has to be punished, it's me.
No!
She saved Di-Gua.
She's Di-Gua's benefactor.
She's Xiaoqi's benefactor too.
Xiaoqi will repay her kindness on his behalf.
Hence,
I'll take the punishment.
Releasing Limao to the mortal world
was my idea.
You had no idea.
The ignorant is innocent.
Jie, you can't do this!
You've already been locked up once.
Let Xiaoqi take the punishment this time!
It's Limao's signal.
They've already reached the Celestial River's end.
Limao,
don't worry.
Xiaoqi will never let you take the punishment!
It's here!
That's great!
We can return to the Celestial Court now!
Xiaoba.
[Hahha, Small Banana]
Can you tell me
if the water in the Celestial River
is chilling to the bone
or a soothing warmth?
So pitiful
Ever since you received severe punishment
after being captured back
to the Celestial Court 18 years ago,
you've lost all feelings.
Xiaoba,
is this flower fragrant?
Very fragrant!
What colour is it?
It's red and white, very pretty.
At the end of the path
The place where the fragrance is hidden
Quickly
Amidst the snow and sea
Jie-Jie.
What does "Xiang Xuehai" mean exactly?
Why did you use it as your name?
It's the most beautiful scene in the mortal world that
I've once seen and felt before.
I hope I have one more chance to relive it again.
Even if
I'm nothing now
No you won't!
It's possible as long as you try to find
your feelings back again.
But if we return to the Celestial Court,
we'll never get this chance again!
Jie-Jie, you
Why is it taking so long?
It's back! They're back!
2nd Princess, I'm sorry.
You had to worry for Limao.
But,
I've decided that if I'm to die this time,
I have to die in the mortal world.
I won't return to the Celestial Court no matter what.
From the first time I followed 2nd Princess
to the mortal world
Watching that romance between you and Lao Xinrong
Only then did I realize
how lonely and cold the Celestial Court is.
From then onwards,
I don't care for the Celestial Court anymore.
Even a zillion years in Heaven
can't be compared to a dream in the mortal world.
Please forgive Limao's stubbornness.
For breaking the Celestial rules and secretly
entering the mortal world so many times.
For being unable to be like 2nd Princess,
who has seen through crazy love.
Maybe, Limao has never got "it".
That's why, I have no right to let "it" go.
2nd Sis!
But
How can Limao become a mortal?
She can.
But the price to pay is too high.
In what way?
In the Western region,
there's this "Tree of Life" that has
10000 years of cultivation.
It takes in little spirits like Limao
which has escaped from the Celestial Court.
Under its shelter,
as long as they kill 50 mortals,
they can become mortals.
To become a mortal,
they have to kill mortals first!
But Limao is so kind.
She has always been saving people.
How would she kill?
That will have to depend on
how determined she is to become a mortal.
Is that "Tree of Life" really so formidable?
Isn't it afraid of King Father?
That area is out of King Father's control.
If she really seeks shelter to the "Tree of Life",
King Father can do nothing about it.
Then should we report this to King Father?
Can you bear to?
If she's captured,
she'll definitely be banished to Hell
and never be reincarnated.
Look! Look! Come
What do you think of this skill Shangguan Haoqi
has mastered that allows him to stay up and not sleep?
His bed has been neglected every night.
He? He's still practising outside.
Just by being "hardworking" this area alone,
he's surpassed all the other candidates.
What are you talking about?
What is that Shangguan Haoqi?
He's a country bumpkin from the villages.
Can he compare with us?
Precisely
That's something harder to come by!
He doesn't depend on any power or background.
He depends on his real capabilities!
Say that again!
Everything I've said is the truth!
You're saying
Shangguan Haoqi is the most outstanding among us?
You're saying
Shangguan Haoqi can definitely win us
and get the "Martial Arts' Scholar" title?
Is that so?
Yes!
You
What? You want to fight?
-Come on!
-Don't hold me back!
Come over and hit me! Here!
No!
We still have to thank you.
You let us know our enemy's strength.
As the saying goes, "Knowing ourselves and the enemies will let us earn victory in every battle".
You all are willing to sit and wait for death?
[It really means doing nothing about it.]
We can't sit and do nothing.
We have to strike first!
Why don't we use hidden weapons?
When he's practising
No! I feel that
We should kidnap him,
throw him off the hill, burn him.
That's a real thrill!
Watch me
This is a colourless and odourless poison.
The poisoned will be paralyzed at the very least.
At its worst
I'll see how he works hard!
Isn't this too cruel?
This is called
"We won't be men if we don't poison him".
[I think --]
But
What if others know of this matter?
If anyone dares to leak this out,
I'll make sure he dies a terrible death.
Your Highness,
please go and save Shangguan Haoqi now!
Or it will be too late!
Nie Tong,
why did you tell me about this matter?
They are causing harm to a fellow student.
Lives are at stake!
Then, I don't understand it at all now.
You're different from Ma Cheng and the rest?
You don't think Shangguan Haoqi is a threat to you?
Or do you want to get rid of Ma Cheng and the rest too?
No!
No, I don't.
It's such a pity!
You don't know how to make use of the chance.
You're dismissed!
Your Highness!
His Highness wants you to leave.
Got that?
But Shangguan Haoqi!
Shangguan Haoqi?
If he's really poisoned to death,
that can mean only one thing.
He has no right to be the Martial Arts' Scholar at all!
Shangguan Gong-Zi!
[Gong-Zi = used to address a man, like Mister]
Shangguan Gong-Zi, you!
Princess.
You've ate all of it?
Do you know?
I'm not poisoned.
Thank you Princess for your concern.
How did you know?
Because
I'm a despicable man.
What do you mean?
One of the chapters in the "Chang Duan Jing" mentions [A book from the Tang Dynasty, I think it's about strategies one can use in dealing with ppl]
The "jun-zi" the world knows of might not be a "jun-zi" in actual fact. [jun-zi = gentleman, with a lot of integrity, the highest level a man can attain]
The "despicable man" the world knows of might not be a despicable man in actual fact. [I'm trying my best here :)]
The "giving in" the world knows,
might not be "giving in" in actual fact.
Be it "jun-zi", despicable man, "giving in", it's all caused by circumstances. This statement must be tested.
Let's use the current situation as an example.
So many people are fighting for that one position.
Fighting it out in the open and in the dark is inevitable.
My teacher often tells me
The jun-zi is magnanimous and honest,
the "despicable man" is often troubled.
Under such a situation,
I have no choice but to be a "despicable man",
take precautions in each area.
A small trick like that
I've taken precautions long before.
After I finished my practice and returned
to my room last night,
I realized all my belongings had been gone through.
Because all my things were arranged
in accordance to my special markings.
Before breakfast this morning,
I noticed your servant washing the chopsticks.
When good luck comes, one's wits are sharpened.
I thought I'd test what I was thinking about.
Zhang Xi, is your poison
really able to paralyze people?
What did you say?
Say anymore and I'll kill you!
Nothing will happen, the water has been diluted.
The toxicity is very low.
Besides,
I've already washed the chopsticks for you all.
Although Shangguan Haoqi has seen through the scheme,
he didn't wait for a chance to take revenge.
Unlike you all
Using your strength to bully the weak,
harm others for personal gains.
This is too much!
How could you do something so despicable?
Hurry up and apologize to Brother Shangguan.
There's no need.
In fact, I have to thank everyone.
It's like this
I always feared today won't come.
Mediocre people don't cause others to envy them.
Thank you everyone for deep affections.
I'm even clearer of my own strength now.
My confidence is greatly increased.
Shangguan Haoqi shall take my leave now.
Everyone, please enjoy
Indeed, this Shangguan Haoqi has wisdom and guts.
It's all within my prediction.
The stronger he is,
the better it is for my plan.
Princess?
Such a coindence.
It's a beautiful moon tonight.
I came out for a stroll specially.
Then I won't affect Princess's "aesthetic pleasure".
I'll take my leave first.
It's fine.
Aren't you going to practise?
I'll just find another place.
If that's the case, I'll go back first.
Princess!
I don't want others to give in to me
on purpose because of my identity.
And cause inconvenience to others.
Why don't we do this
Let's do our own stuff
Is that alright?
That's wonderful!
Isn't this the "Chang Duan Jing" you quoted today?
Can I take a look?
By all means
The handwriting is very pretty.
They don't look like a man's handwriting.
Yes.
Your sweetheart is really thoughtful.
That's why I've made a promise.
Once I have success,
I'll go back and marry her immediately!
Is
Is she pretty?
She's only an ordinary person.
Being ordinary is a blessing.
Is Qiancheng Province very far from here?
It depends on who's looking at it.
To people who are not involved,
of course it's not far.
But to people who miss it,
then it's a really distant place.
Everybody, queue up properly! Take your time!
Take it! Take it!
Old Master Dong, Madam Dong
Both of you are like our parents!
By doing these things, we feel peaceful and happy.
We thank you all for giving us this chance!
Exactly! Come forward!
Thank you! Thank you!
We should treat these wealth as a beginning.
-Yes.
-Right.
But if everyone still thinks they can get by with luck,
doesn't think of progress and spends without limit
If we just depend on Heaven and do nothing,
[I think Not too sure what this means]
we'll still fail in the end.
Am I right?
That's why from today onwards,
everyone should work even harder!
Later,
my father will go on to persuade everyone
to return to school to learn!
Shao-ye, I'd like to learn too!
[Shao-ye = Young Master]
Go ahead!
Who doesn't know Lao Fu-zi is Uncle Dong's idol?
[Fu-zi = Teacher.]
Now I hereby announce,
from tomorrow onwards,
everyone shall go to Pei Ying School to learn from Fu-zi!
I don't quite understand what you said.
-What?
-If we learn about theories and truths from Fu-zi,
we won't have to be subjected to poverty?
Of course!
In fact, Old Master Dong and I
grew up in this very village!
We owe what we have today
to every bit of our hard work!
If we can do it,
then all of you can do it too.
Am I right?
Do you all think I'm right?
That's why That's why you all must work hard!
Don't Don't Don't
Daughter Daughter.
Daughter.
Daughter.
Listen to me!
We have to think of a solution that works both ways.
To solve this Can we?
Can we do that?
-Issue a warrant to arrest Fu Yuanbao!
-Daughter
Catch him and return me my innocence!
Damned Fu Yuanbao! Let's see how you die this time!
-Your Yuanbao
-Your Cuiniang
You say it
Did your son do that With my daughter?
Our Yuanbao definitely didn't do that with your Cuiniang!
My daughter is as pretty as a mudan.
[Don't ask me why. :D]
Will that lascivious son of yours be able to resist her?
Who would believe it!
My Yuanbao is a talented, handsome young man!
He's more insistent on chastity than girls.
He would never ever do that kind of thing with your Cuiniang!
I said he did.
I said he didn't!
He did, he did, he did!
He didn't, he didn't, he didn't!
Old Man Fu, although we aren't buddies,
we know each other very well at the least.
What do you think I, the magistrate, should do
when your son has caused
my daughter's reputation to be not-so-innocent?
We'll talk about it after Yuanbao returns.
Not good.
What if he doesn't return?
That'd be good, we'll just end the matter.
(when something ought to be done)
It's the father's fault when he fails
in teaching the son well.
You want to evade this charge against you?
Magistrate, just say the truth.
What exactly Do you want to do?
Don't you be unreasonable.
Now, you only have one choice.
As fast as you can,
pay 10000 taels.
The compensation fee for my daughter's loss of youth.
Otherwise,
I'll issue a warrant to arrest your Yuanbao.
Or else,
This
What does this mean?
If you can't come up with the taels,
I'll execute your entire household.
Seems like you're set on blackmailing me.
Yes, I am.
Old Master, all you want is money, right?
Of course.
If it's other people's money that you're taking,
you won't feel uncomfortable Will you?
Other people's money?
Don't pretend to be poor in front of me.
In the radius of 500 miles, your family is the richest!
Untrue, untrue
Don't tell me in the past few days,
you haven't heard of
Old Master, listen
Where there is the Dong family, there are no poor people
Old Master, think about it.
The Dong family must have struck a huge fortune!
Otherwise, why would others sing,
"Where there is the Dong family, there are no poor people"?
Besides, people as stingy as me
You won't get much of a kick if you take a bite out of me.
If you take 1 bite out of people like him,
that's more
Useful than taking 10 bites out of me
Then how do I know if you're telling the truth?
Won't you know when you send men to check it out?
Your Magistrate Excellency,
may I know how can I help you when you suddenly come to my humble abode?
It's nothing much
The Capital has orders for me to be more
concerned about the people.
So I've come to see how you all are doing.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
What are you all having for dinner tonight?
Today, we're having
How come there's no abalone, sharks' fin, sea cucumbers or stuff along that line?
Old Master, we can't be wrong.
The wealthier they are,
they will cover up for themselves even more.
Fu Shan is the witness!
As the saying goes, "the straws hide the pearls".
Isn't this showing they are actually rich?
[When they try to cover it up]
Your Excellency is wise!
Shoo
Advisor.
What are you looking for?
I I'm curious.
How come this table is standing?
It must be the table's legs. The table's legs
Old Master, I haven't seen anything.
This
Oh right Old Master Dong,
I heard you keep some goldfishes in the back garden, as well as some flowers
His Excellency and I will go take a look
Go take a look
-I'll go.
-Alright
How would I dare to play tricks on you?
Don't tell me the advisor and I were blind?
We did look through their entire house and garden.
Nothing was suspicious
We've almost finished distributing the gold in the ground.
No.
I went to take a look this morning.
Those gold
You dig a little bit, they grow a little more.
You dig a little bit, they grow even more by a bit.
It's like we cannot finish digging them out.
That's great!
We'll dig all of the gold out.
Hide them.
Hide where?
Everyone knows! Where do we hide them?
Father, the most dangerous place is the safest place!
They were here already.
So they won't suspect this place anymore.
Smart.
Don't tell me there are people who are even better at hiding money than me?
I've got to learn I've got to learn
This is infuriating!
What noise was that? Is it a tiger or a lion?
It's all your son's fault!
Precious daughter
Please be a bit quieter
Old Master Fu and I are talking it out now!
You surnamed Fu! Go and die!
Where's your son?
He He's missing.
Father, why did you get this old man to come?
He's here to see your daughter make a fool out of herself?
Precious daughter!
Daughter
Here Look at this!
There's a piece of paper here Take a good look!
Right
As my beloved daughter's good reputation
has been tarnished by Fu Yuanbao
There's no hope of her getting married in this life.
The Fu family must take responsibility
for Cuiniang's great living expenses for the rest of her life!
They are stated accordingly as per below.
Food.
100,000 taels!
Medical fees, 200,000 taels!
Rouge [means make-up], 300,000 taels!
There's more!
I announce
I have severed father-son ties with Fu Yuanbao!
I announce
That's invalid!
You!
If you don't do so obediently,
it'll be worse in future!
I just don't believe you all haven't struck a huge fortune!
Here, give it to me.
Yong-er's father,
be careful on the way.
Don't worry.
Yong-er, look after your father on the way.
Got it.
Ah-Su, let's go.
Let's go
I'm not dreaming, right?
Hurry
Hurry up and gather!
Time to gather Time to gather
Tomorrow's the day
the palace will hold the written examination.
As what I've said,
every candidate
has to pass several trials
before they are qualified to take part in the "Martial Arts' Scholar" examination.
So everyone of you
has to give it your best shot!
There's no need to practise today.
All of you can go back and have a good rest.
Be as prepared as you can
to take on the challenge tomorrow!
Yes!
Princess
Princess!
The way you gaze far into the distance
is so captivating!
Good morning, Ma Gong-zi.
Good morning, Princess.
I was just about to go sightseeing in the capital.
I wonder if the Princess is willing to grant me the honour of taking the trip together?
Ma Gong-zi has a break today.
But I still have to learn.
I take my leave.
Jianwen.
Brother.
What's the matter?
You're so cold towards Ma Cheng.
So Brother has seen it all.
Not only that
I have seen how you feel towards Shangguan Gong-zi.
But, regardless of family background or status,
this Shangguan Haoqi is far behind Ma Cheng.
In a while's time
When Shangguan Gong-zi wins the contest and becomes the Martial Arts' Scholar
By then, he will be Jianwen's match.
It's a pity
Shangguan Haoqi will never be the Martial Arts' Scholar.
Why?
Because the only person who can beat the rest
in the Martial Arts' Scholar contest is Ma Cheng.
But
Shangguan Haoqi is the most outstanding!
I don't deny this.
Then why?
Because no matter how outstanding Shangguan Haoqi is,
he's only one person.
I need a family with power.
A family which can form an alliance with and
support our royal family completely.
Since everything has been finalized from the start,
why is the contest still held?
Why is hope given to others?
Shangguan Haoqi is indeed a talent.
He didn't waste my efforts in grooming him.
I gave him a chance to show off his strengths.
Think about it.
If this Ma Cheng
can beat this outstanding guy in front of everyone,
then his fame will be greater than now!
This is too unfair!
It's too unfair!
In this world,
the strongest person might not be the victor.
Shangguan Haoqi could have led a normal and simple life in his world.
But he was bent on contending with others.
He wants to enjoy that short-lived happiness.
He has to pay a price for that!
Don't worry.
He saved my life.
I won't neglect him.
Give it up, Shangguan Gong-zi.
No matter how hard you work
No matter how determined you are
They are in vain.
I'll see where you can run to!
Bold civilian!
You dare to obstruct me when I'm doing things?
Using your strength to bully the weak.
You only know how to bully innocent girls.
You're just downright despicable!
Busybody-mortal!
You're making it tough for yourself!
Stop fighting.
You're not his match!
If I can't even protect a helpless girl,
will I be fit to be the Martial Arts' Scholar?
Princess!
Shangguan Haoqi is almost going to die in a fight with someone!
What?
You said he's in a fight with someone?
He's just helping a helpless girl in the name of justice!
Where is he now?
At the hills!
We'll go over right now.
I'll go and get some classmates to help!
Don't ever tell my Brother or he'll be disqualified.
We understand. Let's go!
Girls, leave now!
I won't leave!
How can you?
This was only between us at first.
We've already involved Gong-zi in this.
I can still deal with it. Go!
No way!
Jie-Je, let's hurry up and go!
He won't make it difficult for Gong-zi.
No way!
He
Where did he go?
In this world,
skills so similar to ghosts and demons exist?
The world is so big, anything can exist.
There are many things that Gong-zi might not know of.
Thank you Gong-zi for your help!
Your great kindness will never be forgotten!
Jie-Jie, we should be going!
Miss,
it seems like your injuries aren't minor
It's just a small injury, it's fine.
We're in the midst of the woods now.
Let me bandage it for you.
It's better for you when you go on your way later.
Listening to this song repeatedly
Sad alone, I tear alone
May I ask if you're from Qiancheng Province?
Miss, how did you know?
You're bold, Limao!
You dared to steal the Taishang Laojun's heavenly pill and went to the mortal world secretly.
I'm only
Say no more. Go back with me!
Accept the Jade Emperor's punishment!
Brother Celestial Guard, please listen to me explain!
Stop your nonsense!
I'll see where you run to!
50 years ago,
Xiang Xuehai was asked by the 2nd Princess
to steal the Taishang Laojun's heavenly pill,
go to the mortal world to save Lao Fu-zi.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Guard discovered it
and went after her!
In the midst of danger,
she was saved by Shangguan Haoqi's ancestor.
This is Xiang Xuehai's affinity with Shangguan Haoqi.
No matter how rough things are,
I'll always hold your hand.
I'll protect you and not let you leave
Listening to this song repeatedly
Miss, are you alright?
Where's Limao?
Sad alone, I tear alone
Listening to this song repeatedly
Sad alone, I tear alone
Where's Limao?
Miss,
are you better now?
Your leg's injury is rather severe.
Many thanks to Gong-zi's help.
May I have your name?
I'm Shangguan Wenting.
May I have your name, please?
I I'm
Shangguan Haoqi!
Shangguan Haoqi!
Gong-zi's surname is Shangguan?
Yes.
Then
Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Wenting are your
One's my grandfather and the other is my father.
Miss, both of them have passed away for many years.
By right, you weren't born yet.
How did you know?
Many thanks to Gong-zi's help!
I have something on.
Xiaoba, let's go.
Miss!
I haven't asked for your name yet.
At the end of the path
The place where the fragrance is hidden
Quickly
Amidst the snow and sea
At the end of the path The place where the fragrance is hidden Quickly Amidst the snow and sea
-Miss!
-Shangguan Gong-zi!
Shangguan Gong-zi, are you alright?
That villain fled because of you?
Many thanks to the Princess for your concern.
Where did that villain run to?
He dared to cause trouble here!
I'll get his Highness to arrest him!
Shangguan Gong-zi.
Shangguan Gong-zi!

"How tall are you"
The Celestial Court's affairs
has got me dizzy
I come out for a walk occasionally
to maintain the soberness in my head.
Xiaoqi?
Such a coincidence?
King Father.
Why aren't you calling me "Emperor Daddy"?
It seems to be more polite to call "King Father".
Yes.
But it's not affectionate enough.
Look at yourself.
After eating Di-Guas (sweet potatoes) for a few days,
you look better.
King Father, thank you for your concern.
Xiaoqi shall leave first.
You
Do you have anything to tell King Father?
Don't you have many opinions?
Xiaoqi is very satisfied with everything.
What are you talking about?
Even I have many things
that I am discontented with.
Xiaoqi,
how can you compromise with everything?
Pull yourself together!
Like King Father
Listen to Taishang Laojun.
[Lao-zi, one of the esteemed deities]
When I have a headache,
I'll never eat that "Dispel-Troubles-Calming" Pill again.
I must do more exercise.
Not only can it strengthen the body
It can even get rid of troubles Look!
Xiaoqi.
King Father gives you permission
to turn this rock as big as you can.
See if I'm tough enough to withstand it.
It can even flatten me.
Aren't I remarkable?
King Father.
Take your time To train
Xiaoqi!
Xiaoqi!
Oh no! Oh no!
Xiaoqi
What's wrong with Xiaoqi?
She could have made fun of me.
But she didn't.
What are you talking about?
Do you think it's strange?
Even the way she walks is like this
Don't you think
This is worrying?
You mean
Xiaoqi has become obedient and demure?
She's not playful, doesn't play pranks, right?
Yes Yes
Didn't you find Xiaoqi too mischievous
that it infuriates you so much?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Why don't you go and celebrate it with the world?
That's true
But
What now?
This means
She's no different from the other 6 princesses.
She has no character at all.
Then do you mean
Compared with the Xiaoqi like a wooden block now,
you prefer that bubbly, cheerful and mischievous Xiaoqi?
I'd rather she
Didn't change.
Jade Emperor,
if you had realized this truth earlier,
we wouldn't have to go to all that trouble
to send Xiaoqi to the mortal world.
It was your suggestion to send her to the mortal world.
If I didn't have you, the Jade Emperor's permission,
how would I dare to?
You're saying that
I was wrong?
How would I dare to? It's my fault.
Why?
It's all my fault!
What's wrong?
After Xiaoqi is back,
everyone is weird
2nd Sis,
what are you doing here?
I'm waiting for Limao.
[I used to call her Leopard but she's really more like a fox, soz for the confusion.]
Is Limao back?
What about Dong Yong? How's he?
It should be here
This is the Celestial River's end
in the mortal world?
Jie-Jie!
[Jie-Jie = Elder sister]
We have to send the signal to 2nd Princess
before the Celestial soldiers arrive.
She'll use her powers to bring us back.
How is it possible that King Father
is unaware of Limao's whereabouts?
Even if she returns safely with Banana Fairy,
she won't be able to avoid King Father's
severe punishment.
I released Limao.
If anyone has to be punished, it's me.
No!
She saved Di-Gua.
She's Di-Gua's benefactor.
She's Xiaoqi's benefactor too.
Xiaoqi will repay her kindness on his behalf.
Hence,
I'll take the punishment.
Releasing Limao to the mortal world
was my idea.
You had no idea.
The ignorant is innocent.
Jie, you can't do this!
You've already been locked up once.
Let Xiaoqi take the punishment this time!
It's Limao's signal.
They've already reached the Celestial River's end.
Limao,
don't worry.
Xiaoqi will never let you take the punishment!
It's here!
That's great!
We can return to the Celestial Court now!
Xiaoba.
[Hahha, Small Banana]
Can you tell me
if the water in the Celestial River
is chilling to the bone
or a soothing warmth?
So pitiful
Ever since you received severe punishment
after being captured back
to the Celestial Court 18 years ago,
you've lost all feelings.
Xiaoba,
is this flower fragrant?
Very fragrant!
What colour is it?
It's red and white, very pretty.
At the end of the path
The place where the fragrance is hidden
Quickly
Amidst the snow and sea
Jie-Jie.
What does "Xiang Xuehai" mean exactly?
Why did you use it as your name?
It's the most beautiful scene in the mortal world that
I've once seen and felt before.
I hope I have one more chance to relive it again.
Even if
I'm nothing now
No you won't!
It's possible as long as you try to find
your feelings back again.
But if we return to the Celestial Court,
we'll never get this chance again!
Jie-Jie, you
Why is it taking so long?
It's back! They're back!
2nd Princess, I'm sorry.
You had to worry for Limao.
But,
I've decided that if I'm to die this time,
I have to die in the mortal world.
I won't return to the Celestial Court no matter what.
From the first time I followed 2nd Princess
to the mortal world
Watching that romance between you and Lao Xinrong
Only then did I realize
how lonely and cold the Celestial Court is.
From then onwards,
I don't care for the Celestial Court anymore.
Even a zillion years in Heaven
can't be compared to a dream in the mortal world.
Please forgive Limao's stubbornness.
For breaking the Celestial rules and secretly
entering the mortal world so many times.
For being unable to be like 2nd Princess,
who has seen through crazy love.
Maybe, Limao has never got "it".
That's why, I have no right to let "it" go.
2nd Sis!
But
How can Limao become a mortal?
She can.
But the price to pay is too high.
In what way?
In the Western region,
there's this "Tree of Life" that has
10000 years of cultivation.
It takes in little spirits like Limao
which has escaped from the Celestial Court.
Under its shelter,
as long as they kill 50 mortals,
they can become mortals.
To become a mortal,
they have to kill mortals first!
But Limao is so kind.
She has always been saving people.
How would she kill?
That will have to depend on
how determined she is to become a mortal.
Is that "Tree of Life" really so formidable?
Isn't it afraid of King Father?
That area is out of King Father's control.
If she really seeks shelter to the "Tree of Life",
King Father can do nothing about it.
Then should we report this to King Father?
Can you bear to?
If she's captured,
she'll definitely be banished to Hell
and never be reincarnated.
Look! Look! Come
What do you think of this skill Shangguan Haoqi
has mastered that allows him to stay up and not sleep?
His bed has been neglected every night.
He? He's still practising outside.
Just by being "hardworking" this area alone,
he's surpassed all the other candidates.
What are you talking about?
What is that Shangguan Haoqi?
He's a country bumpkin from the villages.
Can he compare with us?
Precisely
That's something harder to come by!
He doesn't depend on any power or background.
He depends on his real capabilities!
Say that again!
Everything I've said is the truth!
You're saying
Shangguan Haoqi is the most outstanding among us?
You're saying
Shangguan Haoqi can definitely win us
and get the "Martial Arts' Scholar" title?
Is that so?
Yes!
You
What? You want to fight?
-Come on!
-Don't hold me back!
Come over and hit me! Here!
No!
We still have to thank you.
You let us know our enemy's strength.
As the saying goes, "Knowing ourselves and the enemies will let us earn victory in every battle".
You all are willing to sit and wait for death?
[It really means doing nothing about it.]
We can't sit and do nothing.
We have to strike first!
Why don't we use hidden weapons?
When he's practising
No! I feel that
We should kidnap him,
throw him off the hill, burn him.
That's a real thrill!
Watch me
This is a colourless and odourless poison.
The poisoned will be paralyzed at the very least.
At its worst
I'll see how he works hard!
Isn't this too cruel?
This is called
"We won't be men if we don't poison him".
[I think --]
But
What if others know of this matter?
If anyone dares to leak this out,
I'll make sure he dies a terrible death.
Your Highness,
please go and save Shangguan Haoqi now!
Or it will be too late!
Nie Tong,
why did you tell me about this matter?
They are causing harm to a fellow student.
Lives are at stake!
Then, I don't understand it at all now.
You're different from Ma Cheng and the rest?
You don't think Shangguan Haoqi is a threat to you?
Or do you want to get rid of Ma Cheng and the rest too?
No!
No, I don't.
It's such a pity!
You don't know how to make use of the chance.
You're dismissed!
Your Highness!
His Highness wants you to leave.
Got that?
But Shangguan Haoqi!
Shangguan Haoqi?
If he's really poisoned to death,
that can mean only one thing.
He has no right to be the Martial Arts' Scholar at all!
Shangguan Gong-Zi!
[Gong-Zi = used to address a man, like Mister]
Shangguan Gong-Zi, you!
Princess.
You've ate all of it?
Do you know?
I'm not poisoned.
Thank you Princess for your concern.
How did you know?
Because
I'm a despicable man.
What do you mean?
One of the chapters in the "Chang Duan Jing" mentions [A book from the Tang Dynasty, I think it's about strategies one can use in dealing with ppl]
The "jun-zi" the world knows of might not be a "jun-zi" in actual fact. [jun-zi = gentleman, with a lot of integrity, the highest level a man can attain]
The "despicable man" the world knows of might not be a despicable man in actual fact. [I'm trying my best here :)]
The "giving in" the world knows,
might not be "giving in" in actual fact.
Be it "jun-zi", despicable man, "giving in", it's all caused by circumstances. This statement must be tested.
Let's use the current situation as an example.
So many people are fighting for that one position.
Fighting it out in the open and in the dark is inevitable.
My teacher often tells me
The jun-zi is magnanimous and honest,
the "despicable man" is often troubled.
Under such a situation,
I have no choice but to be a "despicable man",
take precautions in each area.
A small trick like that
I've taken precautions long before.
After I finished my practice and returned
to my room last night,
I realized all my belongings had been gone through.
Because all my things were arranged
in accordance to my special markings.
Before breakfast this morning,
I noticed your servant washing the chopsticks.
When good luck comes, one's wits are sharpened.
I thought I'd test what I was thinking about.
Zhang Xi, is your poison
really able to paralyze people?
What did you say?
Say anymore and I'll kill you!
Nothing will happen, the water has been diluted.
The toxicity is very low.
Besides,
I've already washed the chopsticks for you all.
Although Shangguan Haoqi has seen through the scheme,
he didn't wait for a chance to take revenge.
Unlike you all
Using your strength to bully the weak,
harm others for personal gains.
This is too much!
How could you do something so despicable?
Hurry up and apologize to Brother Shangguan.
There's no need.
In fact, I have to thank everyone.
It's like this
I always feared today won't come.
Mediocre people don't cause others to envy them.
Thank you everyone for deep affections.
I'm even clearer of my own strength now.
My confidence is greatly increased.
Shangguan Haoqi shall take my leave now.
Everyone, please enjoy
Indeed, this Shangguan Haoqi has wisdom and guts.
It's all within my prediction.
The stronger he is,
the better it is for my plan.
Princess?
Such a coindence.
It's a beautiful moon tonight.
I came out for a stroll specially.
Then I won't affect Princess's "aesthetic pleasure".
I'll take my leave first.
It's fine.
Aren't you going to practise?
I'll just find another place.
If that's the case, I'll go back first.
Princess!
I don't want others to give in to me
on purpose because of my identity.
And cause inconvenience to others.
Why don't we do this
Let's do our own stuff
Is that alright?
That's wonderful!
Isn't this the "Chang Duan Jing" you quoted today?
Can I take a look?
By all means
The handwriting is very pretty.
They don't look like a man's handwriting.
Yes.
Your sweetheart is really thoughtful.
That's why I've made a promise.
Once I have success,
I'll go back and marry her immediately!
Is
Is she pretty?
She's only an ordinary person.
Being ordinary is a blessing.
Is Qiancheng Province very far from here?
It depends on who's looking at it.
To people who are not involved,
of course it's not far.
But to people who miss it,
then it's a really distant place.
Everybody, queue up properly! Take your time!
Take it! Take it!
Old Master Dong, Madam Dong
Both of you are like our parents!
By doing these things, we feel peaceful and happy.
We thank you all for giving us this chance!
Exactly! Come forward!
Thank you! Thank you!
We should treat these wealth as a beginning.
-Yes.
-Right.
But if everyone still thinks they can get by with luck,
doesn't think of progress and spends without limit
If we just depend on Heaven and do nothing,
[I think Not too sure what this means]
we'll still fail in the end.
Am I right?
That's why from today onwards,
everyone should work even harder!
Later,
my father will go on to persuade everyone
to return to school to learn!
Shao-ye, I'd like to learn too!
[Shao-ye = Young Master]
Go ahead!
Who doesn't know Lao Fu-zi is Uncle Dong's idol?
[Fu-zi = Teacher.]
Now I hereby announce,
from tomorrow onwards,
everyone shall go to Pei Ying School to learn from Fu-zi!
I don't quite understand what you said.
-What?
-If we learn about theories and truths from Fu-zi,
we won't have to be subjected to poverty?
Of course!
In fact, Old Master Dong and I
grew up in this very village!
We owe what we have today
to every bit of our hard work!
If we can do it,
then all of you can do it too.
Am I right?
Do you all think I'm right?
That's why That's why you all must work hard!
Don't Don't Don't
Daughter Daughter.
Daughter.
Daughter.
Listen to me!
We have to think of a solution that works both ways.
To solve this Can we?
Can we do that?
-Issue a warrant to arrest Fu Yuanbao!
-Daughter
Catch him and return me my innocence!
Damned Fu Yuanbao! Let's see how you die this time!
-Your Yuanbao
-Your Cuiniang
You say it
Did your son do that With my daughter?
Our Yuanbao definitely didn't do that with your Cuiniang!
My daughter is as pretty as a mudan.
[Don't ask me why. :D]
Will that lascivious son of yours be able to resist her?
Who would believe it!
My Yuanbao is a talented, handsome young man!
He's more insistent on chastity than girls.
He would never ever do that kind of thing with your Cuiniang!
I said he did.
I said he didn't!
He did, he did, he did!
He didn't, he didn't, he didn't!
Old Man Fu, although we aren't buddies,
we know each other very well at the least.
What do you think I, the magistrate, should do
when your son has caused
my daughter's reputation to be not-so-innocent?
We'll talk about it after Yuanbao returns.
Not good.
What if he doesn't return?
That'd be good, we'll just end the matter.
(when something ought to be done)
It's the father's fault when he fails
in teaching the son well.
You want to evade this charge against you?
Magistrate, just say the truth.
What exactly Do you want to do?
Don't you be unreasonable.
Now, you only have one choice.
As fast as you can,
pay 10000 taels.
The compensation fee for my daughter's loss of youth.
Otherwise,
I'll issue a warrant to arrest your Yuanbao.
Or else,
This
What does this mean?
If you can't come up with the taels,
I'll execute your entire household.
Seems like you're set on blackmailing me.
Yes, I am.
Old Master, all you want is money, right?
Of course.
If it's other people's money that you're taking,
you won't feel uncomfortable Will you?
Other people's money?
Don't pretend to be poor in front of me.
In the radius of 500 miles, your family is the richest!
Untrue, untrue
Don't tell me in the past few days,
you haven't heard of
Old Master, listen
Where there is the Dong family, there are no poor people
Old Master, think about it.
The Dong family must have struck a huge fortune!
Otherwise, why would others sing,
"Where there is the Dong family, there are no poor people"?
Besides, people as stingy as me
You won't get much of a kick if you take a bite out of me.
If you take 1 bite out of people like him,
that's more
Useful than taking 10 bites out of me
Then how do I know if you're telling the truth?
Won't you know when you send men to check it out?
Your Magistrate Excellency,
may I know how can I help you when you suddenly come to my humble abode?
It's nothing much
The Capital has orders for me to be more
concerned about the people.
So I've come to see how you all are doing.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
What are you all having for dinner tonight?
Today, we're having
How come there's no abalone, sharks' fin, sea cucumbers or stuff along that line?
Old Master, we can't be wrong.
The wealthier they are,
they will cover up for themselves even more.
Fu Shan is the witness!
As the saying goes, "the straws hide the pearls".
Isn't this showing they are actually rich?
[When they try to cover it up]
Your Excellency is wise!
Shoo
Advisor.
What are you looking for?
I I'm curious.
How come this table is standing?
It must be the table's legs. The table's legs
Old Master, I haven't seen anything.
This
Oh right Old Master Dong,
I heard you keep some goldfishes in the back garden, as well as some flowers
His Excellency and I will go take a look
Go take a look
-I'll go.
-Alright
How would I dare to play tricks on you?
Don't tell me the advisor and I were blind?
We did look through their entire house and garden.
Nothing was suspicious
We've almost finished distributing the gold in the ground.
No.
I went to take a look this morning.
Those gold
You dig a little bit, they grow a little more.
You dig a little bit, they grow even more by a bit.
It's like we cannot finish digging them out.
That's great!
We'll dig all of the gold out.
Hide them.
Hide where?
Everyone knows! Where do we hide them?
Father, the most dangerous place is the safest place!
They were here already.
So they won't suspect this place anymore.
Smart.
Don't tell me there are people who are even better at hiding money than me?
I've got to learn I've got to learn
This is infuriating!
What noise was that? Is it a tiger or a lion?
It's all your son's fault!
Precious daughter
Please be a bit quieter
Old Master Fu and I are talking it out now!
You surnamed Fu! Go and die!
Where's your son?
He He's missing.
Father, why did you get this old man to come?
He's here to see your daughter make a fool out of herself?
Precious daughter!
Daughter
Here Look at this!
There's a piece of paper here Take a good look!
Right
As my beloved daughter's good reputation
has been tarnished by Fu Yuanbao
There's no hope of her getting married in this life.
The Fu family must take responsibility
for Cuiniang's great living expenses for the rest of her life!
They are stated accordingly as per below.
Food.
100,000 taels!
Medical fees, 200,000 taels!
Rouge [means make-up], 300,000 taels!
There's more!
I announce
I have severed father-son ties with Fu Yuanbao!
I announce
That's invalid!
You!
If you don't do so obediently,
it'll be worse in future!
I just don't believe you all haven't struck a huge fortune!
Here, give it to me.
Yong-er's father,
be careful on the way.
Don't worry.
Yong-er, look after your father on the way.
Got it.
Ah-Su, let's go.
Let's go
I'm not dreaming, right?
Hurry
Hurry up and gather!
Time to gather Time to gather
Tomorrow's the day
the palace will hold the written examination.
As what I've said,
every candidate
has to pass several trials
before they are qualified to take part in the "Martial Arts' Scholar" examination.
So everyone of you
has to give it your best shot!
There's no need to practise today.
All of you can go back and have a good rest.
Be as prepared as you can
to take on the challenge tomorrow!
Yes!
Princess
Princess!
The way you gaze far into the distance
is so captivating!
Good morning, Ma Gong-zi.
Good morning, Princess.
I was just about to go sightseeing in the capital.
I wonder if the Princess is willing to grant me the honour of taking the trip together?
Ma Gong-zi has a break today.
But I still have to learn.
I take my leave.
Jianwen.
Brother.
What's the matter?
You're so cold towards Ma Cheng.
So Brother has seen it all.
Not only that
I have seen how you feel towards Shangguan Gong-zi.
But, regardless of family background or status,
this Shangguan Haoqi is far behind Ma Cheng.
In a while's time
When Shangguan Gong-zi wins the contest and becomes the Martial Arts' Scholar
By then, he will be Jianwen's match.
It's a pity
Shangguan Haoqi will never be the Martial Arts' Scholar.
Why?
Because the only person who can beat the rest
in the Martial Arts' Scholar contest is Ma Cheng.
But
Shangguan Haoqi is the most outstanding!
I don't deny this.
Then why?
Because no matter how outstanding Shangguan Haoqi is,
he's only one person.
I need a family with power.
A family which can form an alliance with and
support our royal family completely.
Since everything has been finalized from the start,
why is the contest still held?
Why is hope given to others?
Shangguan Haoqi is indeed a talent.
He didn't waste my efforts in grooming him.
I gave him a chance to show off his strengths.
Think about it.
If this Ma Cheng
can beat this outstanding guy in front of everyone,
then his fame will be greater than now!
This is too unfair!
It's too unfair!
In this world,
the strongest person might not be the victor.
Shangguan Haoqi could have led a normal and simple life in his world.
But he was bent on contending with others.
He wants to enjoy that short-lived happiness.
He has to pay a price for that!
Don't worry.
He saved my life.
I won't neglect him.
Give it up, Shangguan Gong-zi.
No matter how hard you work
No matter how determined you are
They are in vain.
I'll see where you can run to!
Bold civilian!
You dare to obstruct me when I'm doing things?
Using your strength to bully the weak.
You only know how to bully innocent girls.
You're just downright despicable!
Busybody-mortal!
You're making it tough for yourself!
Stop fighting.
You're not his match!
If I can't even protect a helpless girl,
will I be fit to be the Martial Arts' Scholar?
Princess!
Shangguan Haoqi is almost going to die in a fight with someone!
What?
You said he's in a fight with someone?
He's just helping a helpless girl in the name of justice!
Where is he now?
At the hills!
We'll go over right now.
I'll go and get some classmates to help!
Don't ever tell my Brother or he'll be disqualified.
We understand. Let's go!
Girls, leave now!
I won't leave!
How can you?
This was only between us at first.
We've already involved Gong-zi in this.
I can still deal with it. Go!
No way!
Jie-Je, let's hurry up and go!
He won't make it difficult for Gong-zi.
No way!
He
Where did he go?
In this world,
skills so similar to ghosts and demons exist?
The world is so big, anything can exist.
There are many things that Gong-zi might not know of.
Thank you Gong-zi for your help!
Your great kindness will never be forgotten!
Jie-Jie, we should be going!
Miss,
it seems like your injuries aren't minor
It's just a small injury, it's fine.
We're in the midst of the woods now.
Let me bandage it for you.
It's better for you when you go on your way later.
Listening to this song repeatedly
Sad alone, I tear alone
May I ask if you're from Qiancheng Province?
Miss, how did you know?
You're bold, Limao!
You dared to steal the Taishang Laojun's heavenly pill and went to the mortal world secretly.
I'm only
Say no more. Go back with me!
Accept the Jade Emperor's punishment!
Brother Celestial Guard, please listen to me explain!
Stop your nonsense!
I'll see where you run to!
50 years ago,
Xiang Xuehai was asked by the 2nd Princess
to steal the Taishang Laojun's heavenly pill,
go to the mortal world to save Lao Fu-zi.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Guard discovered it
and went after her!
In the midst of danger,
she was saved by Shangguan Haoqi's ancestor.
This is Xiang Xuehai's affinity with Shangguan Haoqi.
No matter how rough things are,
I'll always hold your hand.
I'll protect you and not let you leave
Listening to this song repeatedly
Miss, are you alright?
Where's Limao?
Sad alone, I tear alone
Listening to this song repeatedly
Sad alone, I tear alone
Where's Limao?
Miss,
are you better now?
Your leg's injury is rather severe.
Many thanks to Gong-zi's help.
May I have your name?
I'm Shangguan Wenting.
May I have your name, please?
I I'm
Shangguan Haoqi!
Shangguan Haoqi!
Gong-zi's surname is Shangguan?
Yes.
Then
Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Wenting are your
One's my grandfather and the other is my father.
Miss, both of them have passed away for many years.
By right, you weren't born yet.
How did you know?
Many thanks to Gong-zi's help!
I have something on.
Xiaoba, let's go.
Miss!
I haven't asked for your name yet.
At the end of the path
The place where the fragrance is hidden
Quickly
Amidst the snow and sea
At the end of the path The place where the fragrance is hidden Quickly Amidst the snow and sea
-Miss!
-Shangguan Gong-zi!
Shangguan Gong-zi, are you alright?
That villain fled because of you?
Many thanks to the Princess for your concern.
Where did that villain run to?
He dared to cause trouble here!
I'll get his Highness to arrest him!
Shangguan Gong-zi.
Shangguan Gong-zi!
