Finally, we're almost home.
I've sent a message through a pigeon for the servant to fetch you.
This way-worn journey really makes you suffer.
I'm fine.
But wonder whether Brother Murong is safe.
She's going to see her loved Murong Fu.
Am I going to stand aside and watch them being affectionate?
Am I so great to keep my poker face and speak politely?
Young Master Duan.
I was thinking that it's my honour to meet with Young Master Murong as he's so well-known.
Young Master.
Who wants to see me so eagerly?
Brother Murong.
He's the Young Master Murong that Miss Wang always thinks of.
He's truly good-looking and charming.
Miss Wang has got it right.
Young Master has already come back.
When did you come back?
Just one step ahead of you.
I specially come to fetch you after receiving Bi's message.
But, why did aunt allow you to come out for so long?
Of course not.
Miss Wang went out without telling Madam Wang.
Once she heard that you were insulted,
she followed us to search for you instantly.
She was worried that you'd be harmed.
Bi.
Well. I'll stop now.
By the way, Brother Murong.
What's the situation in Shaolin Temple?
Did the monks trouble you?
The issue of Shaolin has already ended.
Abbot Xuan Ci has proved
that the death of Reverend Xuan Bei has nothing to do with me.
You're tired after travelling, right?
Let's find an inn to take a rest and eat something first.
Let's go.
Please enjoy yourself, Young Master. The dishes are almost ready.
Thank you.
Miss Wang.
- Brother Murong. - Yan. Have a sit.
This is Young Master Duan, right?
I'm Duan Yu.
I heard Yan said you're kind and treats her specially well.
Not really.
It's not just specially well, but extremely well.
I've travelled in the pugilistic world for years,
I've never seen such a cheeky one like him.
He was just tagging along wherever we went.
I couldn't talk freely.
Third Brother,
Young Master is worried as we're all ladies
and it's not safe to travel alone,
That's why he stayed with us all the way.
That's right. The journey was really dangerous.
We were almost captured by a Xixia warrior mid-way.
If it wasn't Young Master Duan who saved us,
I wouldn't be back safely.
If that's the case, I would like to express my gratitude to you on Yan's behalf.
Young Master Duan, you're from Dali, right?
Wonder are you married?
No. Only my parents.
As the saying goes, "Never travel far as parents are still alive."
You seem to be a scholar,
how could you stay outside for long and let your parents worry?
Besides, Yan has already gathered with us.
We'll return to Swallow's Nest soon.
You don't have to worry anymore.
Perhaps you want to visit Swallow's Nest?
Based on the code of ethics of the Murong family,
we should invite you for a stay.
However, I was harmed several times recently,
those who seek revenge keep coming.
It's bad that you might get hurt
if you go back with us.
Therefore...
If so,
- Young Master Murong... - Young Master Duan.
Brother Murong. Come here. I have something to tell you.
Yan,
what do you want to tell me?
What you've said just now was quite harsh.
When I was at the dyehouse,
it was Young Master Duan who saved me from the danger.
Otherwise, I might not be able to meet you here.
Why do you make it difficult for him?
You're so protective over him yet you said you have no feelings for him?
I've clarified at the dyehouse, I have no affection for him.
If so, why were you so protective over him that day?
Brother Murong.
I knew it was you that day.
I don't seem to trouble you
to kowtow when you see me.
If once I'll be the emperor of the mainland,
will you kowtow once you meet me?
When did you discover it?
That day, Li Yan Zhong
used seventeen kinds of martial arts from seventeen clans once he appeared,
it's obvious that he wouldn't want to be exposed.
So, I didn't think too much of it.
But, he intended to disgrace Young Master Duan instead of killing him.
I was suspicious about it.
Hence, I realized that his facial expression was incompatible with his emotion.
Probably some methods were used to cover up his real countenance.
You shouldn't have guessed it was me though.
I doubt it was you when "kowtow" and "emperor" were mentioned.
I purposely praised Chief Qiao
and said that Young Master Duan's martial art skill
might surpass him,
that's the test for you.
Afterward, you didn't kill us
but left us the antidote of Teary and Limpy Breeze.
This proved my doubt.
How brilliant, Yan.
But there's one thing I don't understand.
Since you've come, why did you hide your whereabouts
and purposely disguised as the Xixia warrior?
I bumped into Third Brother Bao that day.
I wanted to check out the situation of Beggars' Sect.
But, while I was on the way, I spotted the Xixia warrior performed poison secretly.
And I heard a general mentioned that they want to capture a young lady who knows martial art.
I guessed it must be you.
So, I killed the young warrior and disguised as him to mix into them.
I planned to show up to save you.
But, your clothes were not properly dressed
and you stayed close with that brat
saying that you wanted to help him to revenge.
I shouldn't tell you these.
I'm a descendant of Murong family.
I should prioritize the mission of restoring the kingdom
rather than these trivial matters.
Brother Murong.
I'm very happy about what you've done.
Since young, you've always protected me like a child.
But, I didn't know that you're very concerned about me.
Yu Yan...
No worries, Brother Murong.
Since you're concerned about me,
I wouldn't displease you.
