Mister isn't feeling well and he's already asleep.
- What are you doing here? - Reply Master,
Mister said...
he wants to ask me something about this mission.
So he summoned me here.
Ask something about this mission?
Is this outfit necessary?
It's Ting Zhu Yard's requirement.
Wan Mei dare not violate any rules due to my petite status.
Where did he not feeling well?
Xing Feng's medical skills can help to cure him.
Mister told me that...
he doesn't want to see you today.
What if I insist to meet him?
Then Wan Mei won't dare to stop you.
What is he doing?
Wan Mei...
don't dare to tell you.
Tell me!
He said...
Master is uniquely beautiful,
if you have to break his rule, then...
Master Xing may
not see your pretty face ever again.
You...
Fine.
Cha Luo will leave him alone.
Since he claims that the assassin is not in Ting Zhu Yard,
then we'll have to find him somewhere else.
Can't we defeat him if we join forces?
Judging by his ability to control those insects,
he could be seriously ill.
We may have a chance to win.
Why didn't you let me fight?
- But he still can ruin your face. - I'm not afraid!
I've already lose my face for living like a coward.
What he said was meant for me.
I'm the one who is scared and cares a lot.
So tell me...
what should we do next?
Keep monitoring that Tai Fu you mentioned last time,
Yue Qing Ya.
Since he is half of a hit man,
it shouldn't be hard to ask him for a meeting.
I really don't know...
how much longer we have to continue suffering like this.
Mister, you're awake?
Why are you here?
I...
Where is Cha Luo?
They have left.
How did you scare them away?
I...
I told them that...
you summoned me to Ting Zhu Yard...
to take care of you.
Cha Luo is always simple-minded,
but you also manage to fool Xing Feng.
It's unbelievable.
Mister, please protect Chang An.
What have he done that needs my protection?
Since you're here to take care of me,
your shadow will naturally be on standby.
Just go back with him.
Yes.
Your Shadow did nothing.
As for his wound,
I believe you're able to fix it.
Thanks you, Mister.
Take him back,
If you need some clothes,
Yue Ying's clothes are in the closet.
Yes.
But Mister, you...
I'm fine.
No need to pretend that you care.
In this world,
I'll repay what you've offered.
You saved my life yesterday,
come find me at Chang Sheng Palace three days later.
I will reward you.
Yes. Thank you, Mister.
Mister said you did nothing. So just forget it.
Sister, you're back.
Wan Xiang.
Do you still hate me for what happened last time?
You should blame the rules.
I just want to survive.
Don't blame me.
We're all the same, I don't blame you.
Perfect.
Something big just happened in the city.
Someone assassinated Master.
Did you know about it?
Chang An and I stayed at Ting Zhu Yard the whole night.
Master had told us about it.
Your Shadow smells like blood.
Your wound is not healed yet?
I made her angry yesterday,
so she punished me.
I don't dare to bind my wound without her permission.
Really?
It's so embarrassing.
But Er Yue insisted that...
you and your shadow were on the swing together...
with full of intimacy.
Don't feel so nervous.
I've disciplined him before for spreading rumours.
If all the girls in Guihua City fell in love with their shadows,
punishment for that sin is even worse than death.
In that case, thank you sister.
Why did you come here for?
Nothing. I just simply dropped by.
I saw your swing and can't help to sit on it.
You are Ting Zhu Yard's favourite now.
I shall not disturb you then.
There are no servants here, so the stove is cold.
If you come next time, I'll make you some tea.
Later.
Tell me, what did she mean?
Chief Wan Xiang is always flattering.
She displeased you earlier.
Now that you are close to Ting Zhu Yard, she's terrified.
But she has double meanings,
which didn't show her timidity.
She saw you and me playing swing together,
not only she didn't report to Master,
but came to tell you about it.
This is not only a warning but also a friendly sign.
She is smart.
Not everything is measurable in this world.
You don't need to imitate her.
Wan Xiang said you're injured? Where did you get hurt?
Let me bind it up again for you.
Chief punished me yesterday.
Yesterday, I advised you not to get too close to Ting Zhu Yard.
I've failed to respect you.
So you used this iron stick to punish me.
If you didn't do this, my injuries will be made known.
Don't worry,
All Shadows of Guihua City will suffer beating.
I've gotten used to it, it's not very painful.
I can't see the wound clearly.
You just help me find the spot and I'll finish the rest.
Cha Luo must've sent someone to search every single room.
We can't hesitate anymore.
Chang An.
Chang An.
The reason why you assassinated Cha Luo...
is to give me a chance to escape?
Cha Luo and I...
have old grudges.
I came here solely for revenge.
My surname is Xie.
I'm a horse-keeper for Xie's family,
a famous sword-making family.
That day, Cha Luo broke into Xie's house with her army...
and gathered the whole family in the yard.
She asks my master to hand out the letter written for Princess Tai Ping.
She said that the letter was sealed by a thousand-year-old iron.
It has no word on it and is smaller than a palm.
So it's called No word letter which can command everyone.
But my master told her that Xie's family only makes swords.
And had nothing to do with Emperor Wu.
He pleaded Cha Luo to forget about that old grudge.
And release Xie's family.
Cha Luo bursts into laughter and pierced my master's chest.
And nailed him against the gate of Xie's house.
Therefore,
everyone from the Xie family, including the small children...
were killed by Cha Luo.
It was April 6th in lunar year.
The child was barely seven years old.
And his birthday was in two days.
She's indeed heartless.
But you mentioned that...
you were just their horse-keeper.
Why are you willing to suffer and almost die for them?
I was homeless before knowing the Xie family.
I don't even have enough food.
It was master Xie who saved me.
I still can remember...
that time when master saw me on the street,
my feet were full of frostbite.
There were bloody footprints everywhere.
So he squatted down to check on me.
His eyes tear up.
He even gave me his own boots.
Then,
he took me back home and told me that...
from now on,
you're a part of Xie family.
He even named me...
and taught me Xie's style of Kung Fu.
He provided me with new clothes.
What's your name?
Xie Huan.
My name is Xie Huan.
Without my master Xie,
I won't have a name.
