Episode 20

Where is my money pouch?

Mine is gone too

Mine too

Stealing in broad daylight?

This is obviously a...!

Ling Chuan, go and get the innkeeper

Sir, all of you have already stayed for a few days. It's time to pay for the room.

You want us to pay up?

You are the one who should compensate us!

What do you mean, sir?

Look, we're doing our business as usual and you came to stay at our inn

It's natural that you should pay for the lodging

Can't be that I have to pay the customers, right?

Our money was lost at your inn. If it wasn't your doing,

who else could it be?

This must be an unscrupulous shop! You spiked our food...

...and took the chance to steal our money

Clearly, all of you want to skip out on the bill!

What did you say?

What do you want? Guys!

Catch them!

You stole our pouches and now you want to hit people?

What absurdity is this?

We only beat up frauds like all of you people! Get them!

The second stage is a success! Next is the third stage!

The third stage will be my turn

Alright! I'm going to call the magistrate over now!

Hey there, Constable Sir! I'd like to report on a serious crime!

Aren't you all trying to catch one person, right?

I just saw him around there

Really? We've been after him for a while now

How dare all of you come to our inn penniless?

And you even beat up our staff? Get lost, get lost!

You're a bunch of gangsters!

What now, second senior brother?

What now? What do you think? All of our money is gone!

Sleep on the streets, of course!

Second senior brother, why don't we go back to Hua Man Lou?

Aren't you ashamed?

We got no money, you still want to find girls?

2nd Senior Brother, you've misunderstood

We were tricked that day and left without having a good search

I suspect this Baili Tusu is definitely there

If we can catch him

...and leave Jiang Du, we won't have to suffer then!

Okay

We'll go to Hua Man Lou

Hey 2nd Senior Brother!

What now?

Look!

2nd Senior Brother

When did you commit robbery, murder and arson?

Are you dumb? I was with you these days. You think I'm so free?

Are you going to do it when you're free then?

You stupid idiot! This is clearly a false charge!

False charge!

Its him! Its them, lets catch them

What now 2nd Senior Brother?

Quickly run!

Stop don't run!

SuSu, do you even know how embarrassed that LingDuan was

I say that they wouldn't dare to come back to JiangDou for a while

Finally there is someone who helped you get revenge. Who told him to wrong you

The reason why LingDuan has not given up chasing me

must be because of what happened with Zhao Lin

You didn't kill Zhao Lin

Moreover, aren't you tracking down the killer right now?

I think if not, we should take advantage of the fact that whilst they haven't recovered to quickly leave JiangDou

Shao Gong

has there been news about the jade from JinNiang yet?

But I will ask her to hurry. If we really cannot stay any longer

then we'll just leave JiangDou first

If there really are difficulties with the thing about the jade

Then there is no need to bother

We still have many things to attend to and need to immediately leave JiangDou

Today, we will part here

Please wait. I'll try again

Please wait. I'll go inside and try to divine again for you

Thank you for your trouble (used when asking for a favour)

JinNiang! (x2)

I'm alright.

It must be because my cultivation is too shallow

Forcing luck, and resulting in my inner strength being affected by the magic

I was too impatient

Don't have to force yourself anymore. Forget about the thing with the jade

Your business is my business. I'm not forcing myself

I've always regretted not being rational at that time

Causing even more trouble for you

I've always wanted to make up for it

It's rare to encounter an old friend

JinNiang only wants a chance to help you with something

You've already helped me with a lot

There is no need to mention again what happened that day

If you are willing to give me a chance

I am willing to stay by your side

even if it's as a servant, or even to the ends of the world

JinNiang is willing to follow through life and death, serving you for life

Aren't you looking for the jade pieces?

Why don't you take me along?

When my body has recovered a bit I can help you do divinations and look for it

JinNiang

The person who is capable of going through life and death with me

has already returned to my side

I really cannot take you

In that case, then JinNiang has no way to help you

divine about the locations of the jade

No matter

Health is important; I won't trouble JinNiang then

I'll take my leave

I think it will be difficult to find out about the location of the jade from JinNiang's side

I'm worried about minor peripheral issues if we keep delaying it

It's better to pack our things and quickly leave Hua Man Lou

I'll go and tell QingXue

In the past

My big brother also loved drinking wine

But YouDou's wine is used for worship

Big brother used to get confined for seven days due to stealing wine

Once drunk solves all worries

Unless your brother was also tired out by the chaos of this world

I think he is just a drunker.

What about you big brother Qian Xiang? Do you drink to rid yourself of demons?

Who has so many demons?

This world has pains and beautiful moments

You can't discern everything to clearly

Drinking is just to make yourself nice and comfortable

This wine,

should be the best thing in this world

Big brother told me before that the human world was lots of fun

and said he'd bring me one day, but till now there hasn't been a chance

Then what do you think of this place?

I think it's full of people and love

Its much more fun compared to Youdu

Is this stuff as amazing as you said?

Drink 2 cups and you'll know

Since your brother so loves to drink, your alcohol tolerance shouldn't be that bad

Here! drink 2 cups

What's wrong? afraid of drinking?

Are you feeling a little...?

Big Brother

Big brother

QingXue

No way

Drunk after 2 cups?

Good thing she isn't my little sister

If she were my little sister then I'd be embarassed

She doesn't drink wine

Why are there 2 big brothers?

I heard Shao Gong and his friends are leaving Jiang Du

Is that true?

Before, I thought that with this reconciliaton

his identity is different and so his personality should be as well

and can get closer.

But I never thought that he is still that heartless.

I could tell early on that you have good feelings for him

He treats people kindly and warmly, and very willing to help others.

He also treated you with respect and honor.

Jin Niang

Shouldn't you tell him your feelings?

Sister

It's not like I haven't, I've said it thousands of times already

But...

He's always just politely replied to me

I just don't understand, why am I not good enough?

I would do anything, even be a maid for him

he's still not willing to keep me with him

Qian Xiang is exactly the same. He comes and goes as he pleases

He's used to freedom. If I try to keep him he might not be willing to come again

Oh well. Shao Gong and Qian Xiang are the same.

They're both men we can't hold onto.

No. If I don't extend my hand then I'll definitely never get him.

Sister, dont you want to marry Yin Qian Xiang?

I know Qian Xiang likes me, but I've never hoped to marry him

Of course I've fancied it in the past

But at this age, my heart has tired of the idea

I am me, I wont change

Also I know he will definitely come find me

I am me, if I weren't me..

Would he treat me differently?

It looks like he's really entranced you

If you're not you then who are you?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I suddenly don't feel so good. Why don't you go back first?

Why don't I go find you a doctor?

No need, sister you should go back

I'll be okay after some rest

Okay, get some rest. I'll come see you later.

Clear and refreshing white flower honey. Give it a try!

This indeed tastes a bit different from before

Did you put in another type of flower nectar?

Amazing! Amazing!

Qing Xue said the alcohol smell is too strong, so I added a little bit more.

Qing Xue?

She made it for you?

You and that little lady are quite intimate

Calm down

Don't take things the wrong way!

I'm not a forward person

It's QingXue who is mistaking me for her long lost brother
