Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

~ Episode 17 ~

Would this work?

Hey, Bai Ze, do I look like I'm of the same height as Little Hai Xing?

How about letting me do it instead?

Why do you like stealing my glory?

This time, there's no use no matter who does the convincing.

Just wait and watch me teach them a lesson.

We will all be hiding at the periphery.

Once there's danger, we'll all come over to help you.

I got it. I got it.

Little Hai Xing, you must remember these Older Brothers and Sisters.

They are risking their lives to save you. - Yes.

It's something that we should do.

There seems to be some movement.

Everyone just follow the plan.

A Ji Ya, hurry and hide.

Hurry and hide. Hurry and hide.

Let's go. - Come.

We've arrived quite early.

There is still 15 minutes left.

Gong Zi Xu Xu and the others have entered already.

When do we attack?

Just wait for a while more.

Mister, he's trembling.

It's your first time to come here.

When you've seen enough of them, you'll get used to it.

A child being chosen to go up the mountains for training,

it can't be helped for him to be a bit anxious and nervous.

Trembling is normal.

Mister, he's shaking more violently.

Wait for me for a while!

I will immediately...

What's going on?

Look.

Wasn't that the drunk lady from before?

Older Brother Bai Ze!

A person who can't even control one's weapon is just a useless paper tiger!

Attack!

All of you be careful!

I'm coming!

This...

Be careful!

Xiong Fei!

They won't be able to hold up much longer.

No matter what, since they are enemies of the Illuminati,

then they are our friends.

Let's help them.

Hurry and run!

We've fallen into a trap! This is an ambush!

Retreat!

Older Bro Fei, were you the one who threw the bombs?

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me, either.

Where did these people come from?

Think of a way to know their identities.

Right now, we must unite to resist the Illuminati's strength.

Okay.

I'll immediately check on it.

But just letting Gong Zi Xu escape like this,

we've missed this great chance.

You must always remember our main goal.

Killing a Gong Zi Xu is easy but it is not time for that yet.

Good thing that this child has them to protect him.

We don't need to be worry too much about it.

Let's go.

Older Bro Fei, are you alright?

I'm fine.

But A Ji Ya,

how come you just watched at the sides while we were fighting so fiercely?

I...

Yuan Shuai,

aren't we already okay now?

Just let bygones be bygones.

Good thing that we are all alright.

And A Ji Ya is a little lady.

Fine. Fine.

Just forget that I said that.

Xiong Fei...

When I saw you fighting with the Dark Shadow Man before, you were quite adept in using that Gray Thunder Edge.

How come earlier...

I also don't know.

When I was fighting with the Dark Shadow Man last time, I felt so angry.

I just wanted to defeat Dark Shadow Man.

But today, I...

Maybe it is because I'm not strong enough to

bring out the real power of the Gray Thunder Edge.

It's fine.

Elder, I was useless. I wasn't able to do my mission well.

Do you still remember what I've taught you?

The more pressing the situation is,

the more you should say it slowly.

Yes.

This is the bomb fragment that was thrown earlier from outside the walls which I picked up in our backyard.

When I went out to chase them, they had gone.

Bomb fragments?

Flash Bomb?

You know this? - What flash bomb?

Isn't this the flash bomb that I usually use during my magic tricks?

What is a flash bomb?

This can produce a high intensity light and sound

and then... it is usually used to scare people.

It doesn't really have much damaging power.

This is something that Illuminati disciples use during fighting practices.

Could it be that those people outside are also from the Illuminati?

That can't be. How can they attack their own?

Does it mean that the one hiding under the red cloth wasn't

the child who was supposed to be taken back here but someone else?

Yes. I saw it personally.

That person was holding a treasure sword.

That sword absorbed all of the sun's energy.

Right. We all saw it.

They even have back ups.

Surely, it's not only them that's around here.

Back-up?

Looks like they have already made preparations beforehand.

They were just waiting for you walk into their trap.

It's me who was careless.

Zi Xu, go down the mountain again tomorrow.

Investigate the background of this group of people.

The situation is still unclear right now.

Remember, don't alarm the enemies.

Yes.

Elder.

If what Gong Zi Xu said is true,

then that sword that he saw

is most likely the Gray Thunder Edge.

Gray Thunder Edge?

Wasn't that the legendary weapon that was passed on in the family of the Heaven Strategy Envoy Zhan family?

Indeed.

The mission of a Heaven Strategy Envoy is to find the Magic Stars.

Now that the Gray Thunder Edge has reappeared in Jianghu,

and it's even in the territory of my Illuminati.

It's quite interesting.

It's quite interesting.

Then... tonight?

Tonight, we all will live here.

Since we've already interfered with this matter, we will surely interfere until the end.

Isn't that so, Bai Ze?

What Xiong Fei said is correct.

The Illuminati people will not just let this pass.

We staying here can at least give you some support.

Yes.

That's great.

There are still two rooms here.

Wife! Wife! Hurry and come here!

Coming.

Go and clean the other room and let these two ladies stay there.

I'll just go with you. - Okay.

A Ji Ya, go with them.

Tonight, let me be the guard.

Better just let me.

No. This morning, I didn't help because I got scared.

Give me a chance to make up for it so I can feel better.

Okay. Then you go.

Remember to be careful.

Okay. - Once there is any situation, immediately tell us.

Thank you. - Be careful.

Junior Apprentice,

I really envy you.

You can even snore so energetically.

No wonder Teacher and Senior Apprentice really liked you, an outsider.

In just a few days, they already allowed you to become an elder.

Unlike me, no matter what I did, they couldn't see it.

Just because I am old already, they wanted to let me leave.

You don't understand.

I don't want to grow old.

I can't grow old, either!

Do you understand?

I forgot.

Your brain now isn't even smarter than a five years old.

You can't understand these words that I'm saying, either.

Okay then.

Junior Apprentice, it's time to drink your medicine.

Once you've drunk it, you can be like an idiot;

continue living happily like this.

So happy.

Come. Come.

This time, I wronged everyone.

A Ji Ya... A Ji Ya?

Wake up!

Hurry! Wake up!

Wake up! - What's wrong?

The Magic Star and Star Chart are missing.

Star Chart? Isn't A Ji Ya outside guarding?

But I didn't hear anything at all.

A Ji Ya! A Ji Ya!

A Ji Ya! - A Ji Ya!

A Ji Ya!

Could she be outside?

A Ji Ya! - A Ji Ya!

Weird. - A Ji Ya!

There isn't even any sign of a fight. - That's right.

So the truth is... A Ji Ya is a member of the Illuminati.

She is an accomplice of the people who came here last night.

Zi Su, right now A Ji Ya, the Magic Star and the Star Chart are all missing.

Although I don't know what the connection is between them,

we still can't make rash conclusions that she is from the Illuminati. - That's right.

I have my reasons for saying it.
