Lost Promise

Episode 01

Where there are people

there is Jianghu.

All sorts of people

are constantly fighting.

But generally there was peace,

until a strange person named Boye Jingxing

suddenly appeared in Jianghu.

This person was eccentric and perverse.

Word has it that

he is ruthless and has killed many people.

After learned the most powerful inner strength

through the Diurnal Heart Sutra.

He slaughtered a number of famous clans in martial arts.

Even his Master, Boye Feifan, and his home school

were wept out at his hand.

Therefore, all the sects regard him

as a mortal enemy

and chase after him.

At the same time they covet the Diurnal Heart Shura

of Boye's.

Both sides, the righteous

and the heretic clans found his trace

at the foot of Mt. Vulturesoar.

They fought hard to kill him.

Jiang Yintian, the Master of Wulin

Boye Jingxing, the Devil Lord

Only people form the Jiang family

are able to follow me till here.

Diurnal Heart Sutra will be yours

if you spare my life.

Compared to the Sutra,

the death of Boye Jingxing is nothing worthy of mentioning.

Little kid.

Are...are you Jiang Qingliu?

Who are you?

My first name is Great.

I'm Great Person.

You practised martial arts?

Of course.

My grandpa said I was doing very well.

Your physique is good,

but you're not practising well.

That's not true.

Look.

In the world of martial arts,

being fast is the key.

Suppleness and consistency

if of importance.

Try to tighten your left leg on the third move,

and move your waist with Qi on the fourth.

Then you can kick your two feet.

Let peace befall your heart

and calmness, your chest.

Let the Qi down your body.

Your heart is solid as jade

and light as shadow.

Look one way and row another.

Go through the passage of time.

Pebbles are swept along the ground.

Fire beacon along the border to signal alarm.

Sunlight bore through the rainbow.

Forces are to be used only for the maintenance of peace and order.

Temper force with mercy.

Dance Of The dragonfly.

Qi goes round in you days and nights.

Amberverde Mansion

Lord Nangong, thank you very much for

bringing the present to the Succession Ceremony

for my son in person.

You are welcome, Master.

The current state of affairs is in chaos.

With the threats of foreign invasions,

we can't afford domestic turmoil.

And you, the Jiangs have done a lot

to stabilise Wulin over the years.

You can take my presence in here

as a small token of gratitude.

Thank you, My Lord.

Why not stay since you've already come?

Let's finish the succession ceremony together.

It's alright.

I am just a scholar.

I don't understand the affairs on Jinaghu,

nor I wish to.

It's not proper for me to join in.

That's fine. I shall not keep you long.

Send the Lord back home.

Please don't bother.

I can just leave from the back yard.

I say that again.

The imperial court

better not has too much entanglement

with the people in Jianghu.

Understood.

Goodbye, Master.

I shall see you off.

Please.

Welcome.

Come on in.

Grandpa.

Jiang Qingliu, the New Master Of Wulin

Seems Hua Tingtao from Nineshadow is here.

Welcome.

Hello, Mater Jiang and Junior Master.

Grand Master Hua.

I haven't seen you for 10 years and you are still robust.

Looks like you've advanced in archery.

I wish, but I'm getting old.

I couldn't even keep balance with a triple crossbow in my hand.

I heard that little master has achieved the ninth circle

on Ghostimage Skill.

Such attainments on martial arts at such a young age

seem beyond the reach of us.

Thank you, Grand Master Hua.

Qingliu is flattered.

You have always traveled the border

and gained fame with excellent archery skills.

I heard that you once shot down nine eagles with one arrow,

and the sect Nineshadows became famous.

I'm flattered.

It's actually only five eagles.

Archery is no match to swordsmanship.

Speaking of swordsmanship,

we Sevenstars can match with

Ambreverde Mansion.

Swagger.

Master Jiang. Little Master.

Grand Master Baili.

Master Jiang.

After today,

you can finally have a rest.

It's indeed time to rest.

This is my son Baili Cichu.

Greetings, Master Jiang.

You're personable, indeed.

Little Master.

I just heard you have achieved great skill.

And I reached

to the seventh posture of Sevenstars Stroke.

Do I own the pleasure

to compare notes with you?

As to the mere swordsmanship,

a fight between Sevenstars and Ambreverde Mansion

will end in a draw.

So the comparison won't be necessary.

Qingliu.

Go see if your Grandma and Wanchan

are getting ready.

OK, grandpa.

Brother Baili.

Let's drink till all's blue.

You two. The front door is there.

Wanted to ambush me here?

I, the junior head of Foreveryoung City,

wish to play music and receive you at the front door.

But Gong Zizai told me that there were crowded.

So we didn't go.

So many people came today,

but I only know a few.

Some others are mere acquaintances.

And there is an annoying guy.

Why bother talking to them?

Quite right.

I just met

the son of the Head of Sevenstars.

That boy

was so impolite.

You mean Baili Cichu?

His old man is loud.

You expect him to be nice to you?

Brother Gong.

Long time no see.

I thought you weren't coming today.

How could that be?

Today is a great day for our little master, Jiang.

How could I not come?

But really,

these days are

great time in spring,

we shouldn't miss out.

Sister-in-law.

Wanchan.

I was just going to ask you about the dishes.

You?

We won't have anything to drink when you ask.

Come on, Yingxue, let's go for a drink.

Let's go.

I have tested out all the cakes and dishes

for the succession ceremony.

This is the menu.

Would you like to check it again?

No need.

Isn't it all already served?

I trust you.

Then I'm off now.

Qingliu.

There are so many guests today.
