Love a Lifetime (暮白首)

Love a Lifetime

Episode 25

Do you know

what I was thinking about

when I heard that you were killed?

I'd never thought that

we would part forever someday.

I didn't even have a chance

to say goodbye.

At that time,

when Mrs. Lin made this choice,

I really didn't know what to do.

If someone had to be sacrificed in the battle

between Lingxu Pavilion and Dragon Howl City,

how I wished it was me!

Today,

the ancestor has finally been laid to rest.

After all things are settled,

I'll make a tombstone,

take it to the cave, and set it up for the ancestor.

This day will be

the anniversary of the ancestor's death.

In the future,

I'll come here often

to burn incense and offer sacrifices to the ancestor.

Mom,

did I say anything wrong?

It is thoughtful of you.

I wonder where I'll be buried

after my death.

Your father's grave is in Beihuang.

If, in the future, Lingxu Pavilion can thrive

and reach a dominant position

in the martial world,

I'll be content to meet your father

in the lower world.

Mom,

why are you saying this out of the blue?

You'll surely live to a ripe old age.

Together with me,

you'll see your grandsons grow up,

and then see your great-grandsons grow up,

and then see your great-great-grandsons grow up.

Yue,

now that you have had some experiences in the martial world,

you must know the unpredictability of this world.

Perhaps someday

you'll part with your next of kin forever

without bidding farewell.

Mom,

did something bad happen?

No.

I only want to tell you that

if someday I'm gone,

you just need to remember the good things I did

and the mother-son affection between us,

and don't feel guilty or sad,

because you're indeed the most important

beam of light in my life.

Mom,

don't say that.

I definitely won't let you be hurt.

I'll protect you all the time.

You father also said the same thing to me.

Several days have passed

without any news about Young Madam's whereabouts.

Members of Dragon Howl City

have been looking for her continuously

without any result, either.

But

we can't stay here for a long time.

I'm afraid we can't wait for Young Madam to come back.

In the past,

Lingxu Pavilion always backed me up,

and my mother forgave me

for every mistake I made.

But now

Lingxu Pavilion no longer exists,

and we can't go back to the past.

At this time, perhaps

no news about Hua

is good news.

Rong Jingfeng has withdrawn the forces at Dragon Howl City,

but given his personality,

he won't let it go so easily.

He'll surely send people back for a second check.

This is not a place for a long stay.

We'd better leave here as soon as possible.

Don't worry,

Young Madam will be fine.

Hua,

will your affection for me

stay the same as before

after we've gone through these things?

Will you

come back here

if you think of this in the future?

I must bring justice back to all the things

that have happened this time.

I'll make the whole martial world

witness

the treacherous people admit their guilt.

What's done cannot be undone.

However pious you are,

the deceased won't return to life.

If entreating the Buddha were effective,

then there wouldn't be

so many injustices pervading the world,

nor would there be any criminals at large.

Belief or disbelief

depends on your mentality.

I'm behaving so piously

just because I hope my wish

can come true.

Some matters

have already been settled

despite all the injustices.

Who can predict

what the future will be like?

Previously you left Dragon Howl City

for Nalan Yue's sake.

Have you changed your mind now that Lingxu Pavilion

has been destroyed by Dragon Howl City?

Previously

I had planned to commit suicide

in order to force my father to give up the chasing.

At that moment,

all my hopes turned to dust,

and all my desires to live were abandoned.

I was determined to die

but was saved by you.

I know that you'll never forgive Dragon Howl City

and that you want to do your utmost

to bring justice to your clan members.

Since it's you who saved me,

now my life

is at your disposal.

What Rong Jingfeng has done are so unpardonable

that even burying all the members of Dragon Howl City

with the dead of Nalan Family and Lingxu Pavilion is not enough of a redemption.

Do it now.

The invisible Providence appointed me to save you.

Do you know why?

Because you're the daughter of Rong Jingfeng,

whose crime

can't be atoned for

even if he is killed ten times.

As a member of Dragon Howl City,

you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities yet.

You should get back

what Dragon Howl City owes Lingxu Pavilion.

Since I've survived,

I won't live in vain.

You can be assured that

I'll do what should be done

to Dragon Howl City and Lingxu Pavilion.

Stop running!

I can't even eat a steamed stuffed bun undisturbed.

What's your family name, Miss?

Why are you guys still chasing me hard when I've already

cut ties with my older brother Mei Ying?

Mei Ying?

You…

You're not a member of Dragon Howl City?

I'm not.

Thank goodness.

I thought he sent you to catch me back again.

Miss,

you said just now

that you have

already cut ties

with your older brother, right?

I had always thought

that my brother was just a little competitive,

but it turned out

that he ignored other people's lives

in order to pursue his own benefits.

I can't accept

or tolerate such an older brother.

It's better

not to have such a brother.

But, Miss Mei,

I'm afraid it's not easy

to get rid of their chase as you're not good at martial arts.

How about…

How about I keep your company along the way?

If you follow me,

we can take care of each other.

How did you know my family name?

I know your brother

Mei Ying.

Who are you?

I am…

I'm a disciple of Nalan Yue,

and the master of Miss Rong Hua,

and also the master of

the Hall of Oldness in Dragon Howl City.

I mean

I was the master of the Hall in the past.

I just told you that
