In the late Republican era, the Northern City's Grand Marshal was assassinated by Eastern soldiers, leaving him at death's door. If the Grand Marshal dies, Northern City will surely fall into chaos. In this crisis, Young Marshal Gu Tingchuan posted a notice looking for help, offering a thousand taels of gold to anyone who can save him. Oh my, the Grand Marshal is in critical condition, what should we do? A thousand taels of gold! Look, look! A thousand taels of gold! That's a fortune. Let them pass. Hurry, hurry! Over here, over here. Careful. This way. Over here. Be a bit more careful. Hurry, over here . Quick! This way. Over here. Yes. Yes. Please, this way. Please, this way. Young Marshal. Young Marshal. This old man just tore down the notice. Old man, can you truly save my father? Hey. I cannot, but I know someone in this world who can save the Grand Marshal. Who? Miss Shen from the Xie family in the South. Miss Shen? Young Marshal, I have heard of this lady. Twenty years ago, Governor Xie was shot multiple times in the Pingnan battle but survived, thanks to Miss Shen's help. Furthermore, the Xie descendants are known as invincible on the battlefield, which is said to be related to this Miss Shen. Immediately send our troops to the South to kneel and beg Miss Shen to save him. Come with me, we leave for the South at once . Yes, sir! I have protected the Xie family for a hundred years. The Heavenly Jade, the fate of the Xie family. Finally, it is a success. The Gu family of Northern City begs Miss Shen to save us. The Gu family of Northern City begs Miss Shen to save us . The Gu family of Northern City begs Miss Shen to save us. It seems something has happened to the Gu family in the North. Captain, we've been kneeling for a long time, and there's no response. The Grand Marshal's life is at stake; shall we just storm in and take her? Right, we have no more time. Everyone, follow me and charge in! Yes! What... what is going on? Please leave. I have signed a pact with the Xie family. I cannot save anyone else. Captain, according to Xiao Shuai, the young lady must be at least 50 years old, but her voice sounds just like a child's. Go tell Shou Shuai first. Go, go, hurry up. Young lady, my grandfather is dying; he says he wants to see you before he closes his eyes. The heirloom of the Xie family, the Celestial Jade. Grandfather once said the Celestial Jade is the lifeblood of the Xie family. It should be worshipped as a guardian deity, why is it with the young lady? Human life is so short, not even a hundred years; even if you carry it, you still have to go. Very well, I will go see him off. Why did the young lady suddenly disappear? For so many years, she has kept the appearance of a young girl. Could it be that she is just as Grandfather said......is a god? Young lady? A Man, there is only one minute left. Many years ago, I was just a beggar who was lucky enough to form a contract with you. Thanks to your help, the Xie family is what it is today. Now, as I am about to pass away, I am able to see you one more time. A Man, in this life, I have no regrets. I do not age or die, I possess extraordinary divine power. After sleeping for a thousand years, I awoke, though I do not understand why I lost my memory and became a 12-year-old child. But when heaven let me wake up, the first person I met was you. I should end this earthly bond first. I, a celestial being, grant you the path to immortality. Do you agree to form a contract with me and become my servant under my protection? A Man agrees. A Man, do you have any other wishes? After I die, the contract between you and the Xie family will also come to an end. If you leave, I fear the Xie family will collapse in an instant. Do not worry. I will entrust the Xie family's destiny to this hundred-year-old Celestial Jade. In three days, the Celestial Jade's destiny will take shape. The Xie family will prosper forever; whether I am there by then or not will not matter. Thank you very much, young lady. Grandfather! Remember, in the next three days, no one is allowed to defy the young lady's wishes. The entire Xie family, for generations to come, must treat the young lady as their guiding leader. Grandfather, Grandfather, wake up! Let's go. Mom, Dad. It's good that you're back. Let's go. Offer some incense to your grandfather, miss. Okay. Yes. Dieu and Hong Tiem, when your grandfather was alive, because I went from being a mistress to a wife, I faced much criticism and he favored Xie Jingxing more, even though he lost his mother. Now that he has passed away, Xie Jingxing has lost his support. It is still unknown whose hands the Xie family fortune will fall into. Do you understand what I mean? Mom, don't worry, we are brilliant talents who returned from studying abroad, how can a country bumpkin like Xie Jingxing compare to us? That's right, my sister and I knew many famous people in politics and business while in the UK; the Xie family assets and the heir position will definitely be ours. Good, it was not in vain that I raised and groomed you both. Let's go. Yes. Let's go. Mom, who is this girl? Why is she wearing our Xie family's heirloom Heaven Jade? She is the one living in the golden house behind the mountain. Your grandfather said she is the guardian spirit of the Xie family, and before he died, he gave her the Heaven Jade and ordered all his descendants to obey her. Look, Xie Jingxing is sucking up to her. Those two must be the Xie family's eldest young master and the most pampered eldest daughter. They really have an air about them, don't they? That's right. Do you see the Heaven Jade around her neck? They say it is the legendary heirloom of the Xie family. Wherever this treasure is, the power of the Xie family lies there too. Guardian spirit, my foot. Grandfather was superstitious and Xie Jingxing is ignorant. I am a talent who just returned from studying abroad, I don't believe in such things. True, just a kid and a fool whose mother is dead and isn't liked by his father, he thinks he's worthy of competing for the fortune with us. We will snatch the Heaven Jade back in a moment. This damn girl really knows how to enjoy life, huh. That thing hanging on the wall is the original "Ruixiang Tu" by Emperor Huizong of Song. And the one on the stand is a thousand-year-old luminous pearl. Huh? And this golden limewood table is something money can't even buy. Who knows, maybe all the Xie family fortune has already been dumped on her. Grandpa is truly old and senile. No wonder he didn't leave anything good for me when I went abroad. So he gave everything to this brat. Go inside and look. Does this brat, who only pretends to be mystical, deserve the Xie family's heirloom? Give it to me. Huh? Sister. Damn it. Why is this so unlucky? You two are children born by Xie Junshan's mistress, right? You... you... what are you spouting nonsense about? My mother is no longer a mistress, she is the legal wife now. Listen brat, I'm warning you to hand over the Heaven Pearl immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless. Oh, you want to be heartless? This is the most advanced pistol. Now, if I pull the trigger, your skull will explode. Scared speechless, aren't you? Just a brat pretending to be a guardian deity. Now, just obediently hand over the Heaven Pearl and kneel down. Apologize to me and my sister, and we will spare you. Two fools born from a mistress who ascended to the status of a wife. What an embarrassment to the Xie family. Damn brat, you are quite bold. To dare speak to us like that. Sister, show her what you've got. You won't drink the wine of hospitality , you prefer the wine of punishment? Do you want to die? Huh? How could this be? Sister, are you alright? My hand... You...what did you do to my sister? It seems you also intend to be heartless? Out of consideration that you are descendants of the Xie family, I'll spare you for now. Get out. Sister, this girl is too strange, let's retreat first. Are we just going to let a brat bully us? Guards! Have someone seal this door and bring more torches and gasoline. As much as possible. That's it. Sister, what do you want to do? She just knows some street tricks we aren't aware of. That's just feudal superstition. She dares to treat me this way? I will make her pay the price . With... flames like this, unless she is a deity , she won't survive. Let's go. Yao Yao, what happened to you? Why are you hurt? It's okay, Mom. Thank you, everyone. Relatives and friends have come to see my father off for the last time. I hereby declare the bad luck banishing banquet to begin. Father. Miss Shen. Still hasn't taken her seat. A stranger, not even from the Xie family. Living off the Xie family all these years, do we really need to invite her to this banquet? Father, before Grandfather passed, he specifically told us to listen to Miss Shen. Being so cold to her might not be a good idea. Fine, you go ahead then. The girl is probably burnt to a crisp anyway. You can just go collect her remains. How is that possible? How could she survive a fire that big? She's still alive. How is she still alive? Sister, is she actually a god? Shut up. Have you forgotten what we studied abroad? It's materialism and science; how can you believe this piece of trash ? Don't embarrass our group of scholars. You are all quite bold. Daring to set fire to my room. Set fire? What are you talking about? I didn't do anything. Miss Shen, we’ve respected you for the sake of the old man, but you can't just talk nonsense. Slandering my children. Liar. Why are you hitting me? I didn't, Sister! Mom, here. What is happening? Why can't I control my hands? It’s you. You damn girl. Are you using some kind of magic again? Mom, I didn't mean it. Mom, Mom. What on earth is going on? Miss, even if they are at fault, they are still family of the Xie house. I beg you, please forgive them just this once. Xie Jingxing, do you know they are wolves in sheep's clothing? Even if you protect them, they will never be grateful. I know, but Grandfather taught us that the Xie descendants share both honor and disgrace; I don't want to see them mocked by others. This is hateful, my face is all because of this damn girl. Yaoyao, don't be rude to Miss, apologize to her. Apologize? I think he’s the one who should be apologizing. Dad, I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She’s just a brat, yet she dares to make a mockery of me. She doesn’t respect you or the entire Xie family at all. That’s right, husband. You know Yao Yao and Hong Jian are very well-behaved . She’s clearly looking for trouble. If we don’t punish her, the Xie family will become a laughingstock in the southern city. Miss Shen, you’ve been raised in the Xie household for years, and I’ve treated you well. I don’t care what trick you just used, kneel down immediately and apologize to my wife right now. None of you are qualified to make me kneel. You... What is this girl’s background? She talks so boldly. She even dares to defy the Warlord’s orders. She’s wearing the Xie family’s heirloom jade; perhaps her status is even higher than Warlord Xie’s. Shen Zhao, don’t be ungrateful. Guards! Make her kneel and apologize at once. Why is it so windy all of a sudden? What’s going on? Are you sure Miss Shen is just a child? Yes, at the Xie family gathering, Miss Shen was there; she really is just a child. Everyone follow me inside. Today , no matter what, we must invite Miss Shen to save Father. Yes. What just happened? Why did such a strong wind pick up? Grandfather once said no one is allowed to go against Miss Shen’s wishes; only she can bless the Xie family’s prosperity. Are...are you insane? The Xie family’s strength comes from ourselves, from the world Father won by risking his life on the battlefield. That’s right. I think your grandfather is losing his mind. He risked his life on the battlefield to build this fortune. Why would he rely on a child? What is she, anyway? Today, she will kneel whether she wants to or not. Warlord...The Young Marshal of the northern city is here. The Young Marshal of the northern city is the one who governs the 16 northern cities. The heir of the Gu family, Gu Tingchuan. The Young Marshal is usually elusive, yet he’s come to the Xie family’s banquet. Could it be that the Xie family is about to rise another level? The Xie family and the Gu family have never had any connections. Dad, I know. When I was studying abroad , the Young Marshal and I went to the same school. That's right, Dad. At Western University, I really did see my sister and the Young Marshal at the library together. So that's how it is. Yao Yao and the Young Marshal have such a connection? That’s my girl. Quickly, invite the Young Marshal in. Yes. Shen Zhao, the Young Marshal from the North has arrived. If you still stubbornly refuse to kneel and apologize to me. Then I will let the Young Marshal make you kneel himself. What is this? The General's Mansion of the North kneels to beg Miss Shen to save a life. Young Marshal, why are you kneeling before a mere girl? She is just a freeloader in the Xie family. Who are you? How dare you be disrespectful to Miss Shen. I...I am your junior from Western University. We even went to the library together. I already know about your father's situation, but I have a contract with the Xie family and cannot leave. She just waved her hand and he already stood up. It seems Miss Shen truly has some skill. Miss Xie just said the Young Marshal came for her, but who knew she would be slapped in the face so quickly. To be able to make the Young Marshal come to invite her personally. It seems this girl’s identity is not ordinary. That hateful girl. Taking the family heirloom wasn't enough for her. Now she wants to steal the Young Marshal’s affection too. Miss Shen, my father is in critical condition. The General's Mansion is willing to offer half our fortune, if only you would help. Half the fortune? Since the Young Marshal believes this girl has talent, I might as well go with the flow and let her go. Then, with a little trickery, I can pocket half the fortune from the Young Marshal and get rid of her at the same time. That truly kills two birds with one stone. Young Marshal , I am the head of the Xie family. If the General is in critical condition, I decide to let Shen Zhao go with you. Really? Of course. Xie Junshan, what right do you have to decide my affairs? Miss Shen, the Xie family has provided you with a life of luxury for all these years, now it is time for you to repay us. That's right. My father is the head of the Xie family now, so it is only natural for him to decide your fate. But before you leave, you must leave behind the Heavenly Jade, the heirloom of the Xie family. I almost forgot, the Heavenly Jade is still with you. Yao Yao is right, take it off immediately before you go with the Young Marshal. Father, the Heavenly Jade is the lifeline of the Xie family. Grandfather once said it must only be worn by Miss Shen and never removed. If the Heavenly Jade is the lifeline of our family, then we must take it back. There is no reason for it to stay with an outsider. Is anyone there? Take this Heavenly Jade off my chest. Why are you asking that? Xie Junshan, do you know the consequences of removing this Heavenly Jade? The Heavenly Jade still belongs to my Xie family. What could happen if I take it off? If you remove the Heavenly Jade, the fate of the Xie family will collapse in an instant. The descendants of the Xie family will also be scattered and divided. You are talking nonsense! Xie Junshan has been invincible on the battlefield as if protected by gods; how could his fate crumble so quickly? Protected by gods. Seven years ago at the Binh Nam battlefield, you were shot over 10 times and did not die. Five years ago...Because of your foolishness , you fell into an enemy trap and walked into a minefield, yet you still survived. Three years ago, you recklessly walked into an ambush, fell into a deep abyss, and still lived. Do you think you are just an ordinary man? Without heaven's help, could you have escaped death so many times and turned defeat into victory? I have indeed faced life-and-death dangers many times, but I always returned alive. Father once said the Xie family was protected by a guardian angel. Could it be that she is really ... Father? My ability to escape death so many times is due to my own bravery and the blessings of the Xie family ancestors through the generations. Do you intend to dismiss my father's achievements with just a few words of yours? That’s right, my survival definitely has nothing to do with this girl. Don't twist the truth. I order you to take down the Heavenly Jade immediately, or don't blame me for being heartless. How can you be such a disgraceful person? It seems my ties with the Xie family end here. I can leave now, and you can take down the Heavenly Jade, but whoever takes it will die. Who are you trying to scare? I don't believe in such tricks. It's just a piece of jade. My life is hard to take. Just try it. Dad, Grandpa said the Heavenly Jade can't be removed—get out of here. I hate how you always listen to your grandfather; you're such a coward. You're not even as good as your siblings. Dad, if you take it down , the Xie family is doomed. Get out of here! Look, I've taken the Heavenly Jade down. I'm perfectly fine, so much for "family ruin" and "whoever takes it will die." I think you're just... Huh? Why...why did the Heavenly Jade turn to ash? How could this happen? The jade has been destroyed. The Xie family won't tolerate such nonsense here. I think you— Yao Yao! Yao Yao! What are you all standing there for? Go call a doctor! Dad! There’s no need to call anyone. It hit her right in the heart. Yao Yao has no pulse anymore. It’s impossible . Yao Yao, I told you already. Don't take the Heavenly Jade. Why did you have to take it? Miss Shen warned us that whoever took it would die. Don't talk nonsense! Yao Yao can't be dead. Yao Yao isn't dead. Yao Yao, why did it turn out like this? You were just fine a moment ago. Who was it? Who fired the shot? Who was it? I...I didn't see anyone fire a shot. This is the Xie family mansion. Who would dare shoot Miss Xie in front of everyone? I didn't see anyone fire a shot either. Could it be because Miss Shen said whoever took the Heavenly Jade would die? Who exactly is this Miss Shen? She...she's dead. Could I be next? Hong Tiantian, what are you saying? You refused the toast, so now you must drink the forfeit of death. Huh? It's her. I saw with my own eyes that she controlled the bullet. I don't want to die! Mom, Dad, please save me. Save me. You reap what you sow, harming others only harms yourself. So it was you who killed my daughter. Sir, Hong Jian never lies. She is definitely the culprit. Take the heavenly jade pendant off my chest. Dad, this has nothing to do with Miss Shen. When the shooting happened, Miss Shen was right in front of us. Xie Jingxing, your sister has been murdered, yet you still want to protect this killer? Husband, kill her, kill her to avenge our daughter. Dad, are you going after Shen Zhao? She killed our daughter, we are irreconcilable; I want your life for hers. Where is everyone? No matter what tricks you know, today you won't escape the sights of the Xie family's guns. Mom, no. You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind; what a fool. Prepare to fire. Let's see who dares to touch Miss Shen. Marshal Gu? What are you doing? Miss Shen is an honored guest of my Marshal's mansion. With me here today, don't even think about touching her. You truly are different from the rest, but even if you save me, I won't go save your father. Rest assured, Miss Shen, I am not looking for a reward; I just can't stand people doing such foolish things. Marshal, even with your great power, this is an internal matter of the Xie family, please do not interfere. If I choose to interfere with Miss Shen's affairs, what will you do? Husband. Gu Tingchuan commands an army of 100,000. With the Xie family's current strength, we cannot offend him; let's give him some face for now, then find a chance to kill her later. Shen Zhao, since the Marshal is protecting you, I will show him some respect. I can spare her life today, but she must leave the Xie residence immediately. Dad, no. Grandfather said the young lady must not leave the Xie family. If she leaves , the Xie family will be doomed. The Xie family is prosperous, how could it be ruined just because of her? Don't forget, she was the one who caused your sister's death; letting her leave here alive is already showing her mercy. The prosperity is gone, the jade has been ruined. I don't want to care about your affairs anymore, handle them yourselves. Miss Shen, I beg you, please out of respect for my grandfather. Don't go, please save the Xie family. The Xie family is beyond saving. Shen, Xie Jingxing, stop right there! You have lost all face for the Xie family! If you take another step, I will shoot you dead immediately. Father , if Miss Shen leaves, the Xie family is truly finished. Miss Shen, I beg you . You rebellious child, if you dare move forward, I will take your life with the next shot. Miss Shen, don't leave. Why can't I move? Miss Shen. No need to say anything more, from now on, the Xie family has nothing to do with me. Miss Shen, Miss Shen, look at Old Master Xie's altar. Could it be the manifestation of the grandfather's spirit? What is happening? Grandfather? I know you are very disappointed, but the heavenly jade has been destroyed. It cannot be turned around. You are disappointed in your descendants and want to follow me? I will do as you wish. Miss Shen is truly extraordinary. Miss Shen has left, and the heavenly jade is lost as well. The Xie family is hopeless, it’s just one piece of broken jade. As long as Xie Jun is still breathing, the Xie family cannot collapse. The heavenly jade is ruined, the Xie family is finished. My ties with the Xie family end here. Commander, there is trouble. The Xie family shops were bombed by the Eastern Army and have suffered heavy damage. What did you just say? Just as Miss Shen said, this is the sign that the Xie family is about to collapse. It is just a coincidence. The Xie family has a large foundation; losing a few shops is nothing. Miss Shen was right, with someone like Father inheriting Grandfather's legacy. The Xie family can no longer be saved. You unfilial son, what are you saying? Get out! I don't have a son like you. As for the heir of the Xie family, I have decided to choose Hong Zi. Miss Shen, Miss Shen, please stop. Miss Shen , I have just witnessed your abilities. Since you are no longer tied to the Xie family, please save my father. You’re listening to an old man who dared to offer half the Gu family fortune just to find me. Aren't you afraid that I’m just a street swindler? Wait, how did you know I listened to him? Yes. As long as I can save my father, even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, I’ll pay any price. Oh, really? Any price at all? Any price at all. You are quite interesting. Fine, I will take a trip with you. Thank you, Miss Shen. You should go back to the Marshal’s mansion and report this good news immediately. Yes. There’s no need for that much trouble . Then how? What is that? Follow me. Young Marshal? What—what is this? Can it really take us back to the city? Miss Shen has extraordinary powers; it’s no surprise she knows such magic . Very clever, truly a person of great potential. Keep moving. Yao Yao. Shen Zhao has been sent away by your father, so you can set off with peace of mind. Hun Jian, now I only have you by my side. That girl is finally gone. Xie Jingxing is being despised by your father again. In the future, the Xie family will be ours; you must work hard. Mother, I still find this whole thing strange. I clearly sent people to set fire to her room. I saw with my own eyes that the fire had engulfed the entire room. But, when I went to her room just now, there wasn’t a single trace left. What are you saying? What I mean is...I suspect she is actually......a god. What nonsense are you spouting again? Mother, if Miss Shen’s prediction comes true, won’t the Xie family be ruined? Huang Tang, you’ve studied abroad, why are you acting like your brother? That’s right. I think you’ve lost your mind. The Xie family has a vast foundation, and your father is the Southern Garrison Commander. As long as your father is here, the Xie family won’t fall. But our shops have all suddenly run into trouble. How do you explain that? Your father said it’s just a coincidence. It's just a few shops being destroyed. The Xie family warehouse has enough rare treasures to last for generations. Furthermore, every descendant of the Xie family is strong. How could they just collapse like that? Boss, boss, boss, it’s terrible! The Xie family warehouse was struck by lightning and is on fire, and the family's assets are all gone. What did you say? The Xie family warehouse is burning. I sent men to put out the fire, but it’s too large. I'm afraid the items inside cannot be retrieved. Moreover, the entire Xie family fortune is in there. So many rare treasures and even the imperial jade seal of the previous dynasty. You say it can't be retrieved? Let me go get them myself. Over here. Over here. Over here. Father , what are you doing? The fire is so big, if you go in, you'll lose your life. Move aside, you useless boy. Every descendant of the Xie family is invulnerable to blades and immune to fire. On the battlefield, I’ve seen everything; even bullets had to dodge me. This fire isn't enough to kill me. Father, you are not who you used to be. You were protected by Miss Shen before, but now she is gone. Father, don't be hot-headed. Get out of the way. I’ll say it one last time: I was invulnerable on the battlefield. It wasn't thanks to that girl. Today, I will show you what I’m made of. Father! Father is in trouble. Butler, follow me inside. Are you stupid? Are you not afraid of losing your life? Let Xie Jingxing go rescue him. If he can save him, fine; if not, and they die inside, won't the Xie family fall into our hands? Boss! Hurry up and take him to the hospital! Father, the warehouse...The warehouse is gone. You are burned all over your body. If I had saved you any later, you would have been gone in a single day. The shops and the warehouse are all lost. Now, even you almost lost your life. Don't worry, the Xie descendants are still numerous; it’s just some lost wealth. As long as there are Xie descendants, the Xie family will never fall. Commander, there is trouble. The Eastern troops launched a surprise attack; we suffered heavy losses. The young masters of the second and third branches are both gone. No, this cannot be. Doctor. Cảnh Thành. Dad. You finally believed what I said. You are a sinner of the Xie family. Because you didn't trust Miss Shen, you harmed our entire Xie family. The Xie family cannot be without Miss Shen. No matter what price we have to pay, we must bring Miss Shen back. Mom, when I chased after her, Miss Shen had already disappeared without a trace . I don't know where to find her. Why? Why did it end up like this? Huh? Sir, today outside the mansion, I seemed to see Miss Shen talking to the young commander going to the North City . The young commander is here for Miss Shen; naturally, he will spare no expense to bring her back. Dad, you are covered in wounds. What are you trying to do? Quickly prepare the carriage to the North City. Even with these injuries, I must go and kneel to beg Miss Shen to return. We have arrived in front of the Grand Marshal's mansion in an instant. Is this really not a dream? We followed Miss Shen and escaped from the South City to the North City. Miss Shen truly has extraordinary abilities. That's great, Young Commander. With Miss Shen being this capable, the Marshal will be saved. Miss Shen, can you come with me now to save my father? It is not just your father who needs saving; the entire Grand Marshal's mansion is about to face a great disaster. Miss Shen, what did you just say? Your father's illness persists because the Gu family residence has been set up with a life-stealing, evil-gathering formation. In three days, once the formation is complete, not only will your father lose his life, but the entire Gu family will likely be bathed in blood. Huh? Yes. Yes. Young Commander Gu? What does Miss Shen mean? There is clearly nothing there. Just follow what Miss Shen says. Oh, yes. Miss Shen. So, what should we do? Since I am here, it will be fine. Just go inside and take a look. Notify everyone. Immediately come to the main hall to welcome our distinguished guest; do not be negligent. Yes, sir. Ten. Huh? Huh. Is this the hermit master you invited over? A little girl? Si Zhe, don't be rude. Staff member, Doctor Chu, why are you two here? Big brother Tian Qi studied abroad, I specifically asked him to examine Dad. That's right, Brother Ding Chuan, my brother is very skilled and will definitely cure your father. Thank you, Doctor Chu. Young Marshal, you're too polite. I came because of your fiancée. Helping is the right thing to do. It's just that I've already invited a hermit master, so I won't trouble Doctor Chu anymore. That's perfectly fine. I thought you invited someone impressive, but inviting a girl like this? She surely won't spot the Eastern killing formation. Miss Shen, my father's condition is critical, I hope you... Don't be in such a rush. If you want me to reverse fate, you have to pay the price. Are you willing to accept this price? Naturally. Good. Then the first thing is to take down that painting and burn it. What? That's a famous foreign painting worth over 10,000 silver coins. You think a little girl can just order us to burn it? You think by spouting nonsense, my brother will believe you? Where is everyone? Take it down. Right. The premium vase on the second floor in the southeast. Get rid of it. Got it. The Tang Dynasty black-glazed pottery horse in the southwest, get rid of it. Got it. The landscape painting in the third-floor room, get rid of it. Oh, it's over. The evil energy gathering spots I got Si Zhe to buy have all been disposed of by her. Good heavens, Si Zhe, these are treasures you spent so much money on, hurry and persuade your brother. Brother, that Southern Dynasty vase is incredibly precious. That Tang Dynasty black-glazed pottery horse is a top-tier antique that money can't even buy. These treasures are priceless. Why are you getting rid of them just because she said so? Although I don't understand Miss Shen's intentions, I will fully obey Miss Shen's words. What kind of trick is this girl using to make Brother Ding Chuan listen to her like that? Very good, the last item. The dragon-phoenix jade pendant in your bedroom. Destroy it. Huh? The dragon-phoenix jade pendant is the birthday gift I gave to Brother Ding Chuan. On what grounds are you telling us to get rid of it? Can a "death-borrowing" evil object even be considered a birthday gift? What evil object? What nonsense are you spouting? Did I say something wrong? How could this brat even recognize this ? It seems I must find a way to get rid of her. I cannot let her ruin my plans. I don't care about any evil life-stealing items. Dinh Xuyen, that is the Dragon-Phoenix jade pendant I specially found for you; there's only one pair in the world. You wouldn't throw it away, right? See that, you little brat? Stop bewitching Dinh Xuyen . I am Dinh Xuyen's fiancée. He has to listen to me. Take the pendant and throw it away. Dinh Xuyen, what did you say? Dinh Xuyen, that was a gift from me. How can you just throw it away like that? Could it be that you actually believe her words instead of mine? I'm sorry, Van Di, whatever Miss Tham says, I must obey. Miss Tham, can you save my father now? You still need to complete one final task. Please tell me, Miss Tham. Within the next six hours, go to the Death Abyss and pick the Seven-Star Grass from the cliff. The Death Abyss? The Death Abyss is surrounded by toxic fumes and bottomless cliffs. Let alone picking grass, many people lose their lives just by getting close. You cannot go there. That's right, Dinh Xuyen. If she's just toying with you, you'll lose your life. Commander, even if Miss Tham is skilled , you cannot return from the Death Abyss in six hours. Fine, I'll go. Just promise me, if I survive and get the Seven-Star Grass, you must save my father. Co Dinh Xuyen, you are more reckless than I thought. You can't, brother. Father is in critical condition and our family relies on you; you can't go to the Death Abyss. That's right. Dinh Xuyen, we are still betrothed. If something happens to you, what will I do? Can you please not go? Rest assured, I will return soon. Whatever Miss Tham says, you must follow it completely. Her orders are my orders. Yes, sir. Dinh...Dinh Xuyen. Co Dinh Xuyen is going to his death. Just as I wanted. This girl is tearing down those evil items. Although it affects the death-gathering array, it won't break the formation, no need to worry. Miss Shen, is there something you need? Cut this tree down. That won't do. If the dragon blood tree is cut, the death-gathering array cannot be formed. I...this dragon blood tree is very rare. The Young Marshal is away. Now that the Marshal's mansion is under your charge, you must not let this girl destroy this house. That's right. My brother is so eager to save his father that he's bewitched by her, but I am not. You brat, do you even know what this is that you dare to cut it? Cut? Yes. Butler. I said it cannot be cut, so it cannot be cut. Uh, but before the Young Marshal left, he gave orders. Miss Shen's orders are to be treated as his own. We have to listen to her. You are the Second Young Master of the Marshal's mansion. Listen to me. I see this girl is intentionally deceiving us to sabotage the Marshal's mansion. Where is everyone? Huh? Yes. Yes. Second Young Master. Drag her out. Uh, yes, yes, yes. Now, now, drag her... Can I not even give you orders? Yes, yes, just do it now. Useless, get out of here. Let's go. Let's go, let's go. It seems I have to take action myself. Me? Why did I kneel down? This girl's gaze is even more terrifying than my father's. Who exactly are you? Is this girl a wizard? What is wrong with you? Stand back. I don't know what happened to me. I suddenly knelt down just now. This girl is truly difficult to deal with. I remember there is a very dark forbidden area in the Marshal's mansion . If you want to teach her a lesson, how about pretending to give in first. Lure this girl to that place. I don't believe we can't break her spirit. Many people have died in that forbidden area , it's very gloomy. Even if she is arrogant, she is still just a girl. Doing that might not be very good. What are you worried about? It's just scaring her a little. Once she begs for mercy, we'll let her go, what could happen? Besides, she just made you kneel in front of everyone. Can you swallow this humiliation? But think carefully, once your brother returns, you won't have a chance to sweet-talk her anymore. If you don't act now, watch out, that brat might walk all over you later. I'll do as you say. Miss Shen, I was wrong earlier. If you want to chop down this tree, go ahead, but cutting it takes time. Why don't you take a little rest first? Fine. This way. Miss Shen, this is where you can rest. What? Are you sure this is where I'm supposed to rest? Gu Xiaozhi, what are you doing? She's just a child. Actually, no. Actually, this is the premium room that the young master specifically ordered to be prepared for you. After all, you are a VIP guest in this mansion. Brother, you tricked this girl into the restricted area of the Commander's mansion. It's surely not just to teach her a simple lesson, right? Of course not, little brother. I've prepared everything in advance; she won't be coming back out once she goes in. This is a soul-sealing formation taught to me by a Japanese sorcerer. At most, in three incense sticks 'time, the formation will activate, and then, this entire house will collapse. She is definitely dead. The time is up, we should let her out quickly. Why did the house collapse, kid? If she dies, what are you going to do? Didn't you say it was only to punish her? Making her apologize would have been enough. Now the house has collapsed, what if she dies in there? I'm going to save her. The house has collapsed this much, plus the soul-sealing formation, even if you rush in, you'll only pull out a corpse. What is that? How is she? She...she is still alive. How could she come out alive? The soul-sealing formation is just a parlor trick. You have such abilities? Who exactly are you? A level you cannot even touch. Spare me, master. A bit foolish, but your heart isn't too evil. Wait until Gu Tingchuan returns, he will discipline you. The evil deeds you have done, heaven will punish them. I won't bother with you, don't dirty my hands. Get lost. My face, my face. You damn brat. I am a daughter of the Chu family, the future Young Marshal's wife! You dared to pin me down and almost ruined my face? I won't let you off! Gu Ci Zhe, my sister is your future sister-in-law. Are you just going to let her humiliate us like this? I...I ...I... If you don't dare to decide, then let me decide for you! You damn brat. Today is your death day! Miss Shen, be careful! Miss Shen! There is news. I have brought it back. Please, save my father. Brother! Brother! Brother? He ...he's not breathing anymore. Brother! Brother! Gu Ting Chuan, from this day on, you are the first person to sacrifice yourself to protect me. The person I wanted to teach a lesson is this brat. What? What? My hand! You dare to hurt my sister? You dare to touch my people? Breaking her arm was already a light punishment. Brother, wake up! Without you...What should I do? What will happen to the Gu family? Gu Ting Chuan actually survived and returned from the jaws of death. But so what if he survived? Injured so badly and having taken a bullet, he is bound to die in the end. He won't die. With the meridian flow at the hour of the Horse, all illnesses shall vanish. Brother, you're awake! Wasn't I shot to death? Young Marshal? Just now, Miss Shen used magic to save you; it was truly miraculous. In just a few short seconds , your wounds have all healed. Miss Shen is truly an immortal. Gu Ting Chuan was dead; how could he come back to life? What is this girl's background , exactly? Thank you, Miss Shen, for saving my life. I don't know how to repay you. Just say the word, and I will do it. Are you willing to be my servant? What? Even if you saved my brother, you can't make him your servant! My brother is a powerful Young Marshal! I agree. Brother! Brother Ting Chuan, how could you accept this girl as your master? She kept hurting me just a moment ago! Look , she even used some shady magic to hurt my hand. If you don't have the guts to decide, then I'll decide for you today. Today is the day you die. Miss Shen, be careful. But I recall you holding a gun, trying to kill Miss Shen ? Just now, she was bullying me, I was just so anxious that I fired the gun. Tell me the truth, what exactly happened after I left? I...I said after you left, this girl wanted to cut the dragon blood tree, so Thien Ky told me to take her into the forbidden zone, and it ended up collapsing. After she came out, she lectured Van Di and Thien Ky, saying Miss Shen is my guest of honor, and you dared to lead her into the restricted area. If anything had happened to her, what would become of the Commander's mansion? What about Father? Well, isn't she perfectly fine? Shut up . Today I have finally seen your true colors. What true colors? Dinh Xuyen, I am your fiancée. How could you treat me like this because of this girl? Now that you mention being my fiancée, I remember. Today, I, Co Dinh Xuyen, officially call off our engagement; the agreement between our families ends here. What? Call off the engagement? Dinh Xuyen, why are you calling off our engagement because of this wretched girl? I won't accept this. Dinh Xuyen, Dinh Xuyen! Where is everyone? Show them out. Dinh Xuyen, Dinh Xuyen, I was wrong, please don't call off the engagement, okay? I truly know I was wrong. Co Dinh Xuyen, the Chu family in the North is incredibly wealthy; even if you are the young commander, you cannot humiliate us like this. You offended Miss Shen, so what if I humiliate you? You're very bold, you had better not regret what happened today. Regret what ? There's no need to beg him, let's go. Dinh Xuyen, Dinh Xuyen! Miss Shen, it was my negligence; I didn't see these people for who they were, causing you to be insulted in my own home. I apologize to you on their behalf. They are the ones who are wrong, you don't need to take the blame. I ask you one more time, do you truly agree to be my servant? Gu Tingchuan, of the Gu family in Northern City. I vow to be your servant forever, and my descendants will be loyal to you. Brother, you...you want to be a servant to this girl? My life was saved by the young lady. If she says she wants me to be her servant , I will agree. Marshal, Miss Shen is indeed impressive , but you are the master of the 16 Northern Cities. How can you be a servant? I have already decided. Si Zhe , come down and join your brother in pledging your loyalty to the young lady . Me? I am the second young master of the Gu family, you want me to be a servant? I, Gu Si Zhe, pledge my loyalty to you, and will remain faithful to you forever . Get up. As my servants, the Gu family will have my backing from now on. Let's go. Now, let's go visit your father. Young lady, please follow me this way. What happened here? Brother? Evil spirits have invaded his body; he is in imminent danger. Then what should we do? Seven-Star Grass. Miss Shen, why hasn't my father woken up yet? The Seven-Star Grass can only temporarily stabilize his heart meridian and keep him alive. The death-gathering formation has cursed the entire Gu family bloodline; they won't live past three days. To change their fate...Besides cutting down that dragon-blood tree in the yard, we must find the pure-yang Dragon Marrow Jade to protect them, or the curse cannot be broken. Is it that serious? Is that true or false? Miss Shen, where can we find this Dragon Marrow Jade now? I will send people to search for it. Tomorrow, there is a stone gambling festival at the Huaping Hotel in Northern City. It hurts so much. Bear with it a little longer. Brother. It is all that girl from the Shen family's fault; she ruined my face , hurt my hand, and even made Brother Tingchuan break off our engagement. You must help me take revenge. Why wouldn't I? Don't worry, I have a close relationship with the head of the camp. The medicine I just put on your face was a gift from him. After tonight , your face will fully recover. Really? At tomorrow’s stone gambling festival, as long as we get the Dragon Jade Marrow for the Eastern camp, they will help the Chu family rise to power in one leap. By then, not to mention teaching that girl a lesson, even dealing with the Gu family will be as easy as flipping a hand. I can't deal with the Gu family, I still have to marry Dinh Xuyen. Why are you still so foolish and don't realize it? Co Dinh Xuyen doesn't like you at all. If it weren't for your parents arranging the marriage, I doubt he'd even look at you once. What do you mean? You mean to say that since Old Master Gu is injured, Co Dinh Xuyen is anxious to cure him? If we get the Dragon Jade Marrow, Co Dinh Xuyen will know only the Chu family can help him. I understand now. As long as I get the Dragon Jade Marrow , Dinh Xuyen will like me just like before. Then the marriage between our two families will be restored. That's right. That's wonderful. When we get the Dragon Jade Marrow, that girl will be kicked out of the Marshal's mansion. By then, I will definitely tear her into a hundred pieces with my own hands. Miss Tham, I have sent people to investigate . The stone gambling festival has announced the Dragon Jade Marrow to the highest bidder to save my father. Today , even if the Gu family loses all its wealth, we must obtain the Dragon Jade Marrow. No need, even though it has taken this shape over 5,000 years, it is still just a hard stone, worth ten coins at most. Huh? Look at how Miss Tham is talking. That is a legendary treasure. Which family in the city doesn't know about it? Why is it worthless when she mentions it? Miss Tham is an expert in hiding, I have already accepted her as my master. What did she say? We should just listen , don't speak nonsense. Yes, brother. Co Dinh Xuyen, have you really accepted this girl of unknown background as your master? Brother Thien Ky, why are you here? Don't touch me. It’s not enough that you guys come here, you bring this girl to humiliate us. Accepting her as a master ruins my girl's reputation. The Marshal's mansion didn't hesitate to offend the Chu family for her sake. Today, I will show you all that the Chu family is not so easily bullied. You. Compared to Ms. Tham, the Chu family is worthless. Dinh Xuyen, what kind of love potion has this damned girl given you that you trust her so much? Co Dinh Xuyen, you dare to blatantly disrespect the Chu family and willingly debase yourself as her slave. Are you not afraid that the Commander's Mansion is near its end? It is you all who are near your end. What a joke, the Chu family has been wealthy for generations. I will definitely secure the Dragon Marrow Jade at today's auction. Once I have it , the Chu family will ascend to the top , leading all the noble clans in this Northern City. How could we possibly be near our end? The Dragon Marrow Jade is a treasure destined for Chu Thien Ky. With your vision, are you sure you can get it? Is my vision not good enough? What about Doan Thuy? Master Doan Thuy is a titan in the world of jade gambling and antiques. He is serving as my advisor for this Dragon Marrow Jade today. I have it in the bag. Commander. Doan Thuy is a jade gambling expert that every family fights to hire. He has lived in seclusion in the Southern City for years. To think Chu Thien Ky managed to invite him; will he snatch the Dragon Marrow Jade away from us today? So, what should we do? What's the matter? Are you scared just hearing the name Master Doan? Doan Thuy...oh, I remember now. Over a decade ago, he was a good friend of mine. He lacks the ability; someone who doesn't even know the secrets of selecting jade is called a master? Huh? Who do you think you are? You brat, how dare you say Master Doan Thuy lacks ability? I may not be brilliant, but I have led the field in jade gambling for 50 years without a single failure. I want to see who dares to brag like that here. Huh? Oh my, Master Doan, I am from the Chu family. It has been 60 years, and meeting you here today, I pay my respects to you. Good heavens! Master Doan, you are a jade gambling expert, why are you kneeling before this girl? This is unbelievable. You fool, blind as a bat, how dare you be rude to the young lady! It’s been 60 years, yet I still remember the first time I met you at the Xie family estate. Huh? Hm? Come in. If you are interested, for the sake of your friendship with A Man, I will teach you a few tricks. Thank you, my lady. When we first met, we were the same age. 60 years later, you haven't changed a bit. But my eyes have grown dim. A mortal life is truly as short as a blink. Speaking of which, Mr. Xie has already passed away. I had intended to see him off. But due to urgent matters and my illness, I could only send my descendants to pay their respects. I didn't know you had left the Xie family . What brings you to the North City today? Let’s put that aside for now. I am here today specifically for the Dragon Jade Marrow at this stone gambling convention. Rest assured, my lady. Anything you want, I will certainly offer it to you on a silver platter. Duan Rui, you clearly said you would be my consultant today, why are you backing out now? Being called a backstabber is better than being an ignorant fool. Young Master Chu, let me be clear, that previous agreement to be your consultant...I’m sorry, you should go find someone more capable. You... My lady, please go upstairs. Welcome everyone to the Stone Gambling Convention. I am your host for today. I hereby declare the Stone Gambling Convention officially open. Let us bring out the first auction item of the day. What is this? This is a raw stone from Tian Kun Mountain, an extremely rare find. The starting price is 100,000 silver coins. The auction begins now. It is intact and shows a glint of jade; there is a high possibility it contains something. Dragon Jade Marrow, right, my lady? Was I correct? Since the young lady nodded, it seems this stone surely contains the Dragon Jade Marrow. Duan Rui realized this stone has a chance of yielding the Dragon Jade Marrow; this is our chance. 5 million? 5 million. 5 million. The Chu family is indeed wealthy; from a starting price of 100,000, they jumped straight to 5 million. Young master, 5 million is the entire cash reserve of the Chu family. You’ve spent it all in one go. If it isn't the Dragon Jade Marrow, we will suffer a massive loss. Don't worry. The Dong Doanh Group said no matter how high the price goes, they will pay to help me secure the Dragon Marrow Jade. But what if the Dong Doanh Group breaks their promise? The head of the Dong Doanh Group is quite close to me; how could they break their promise? You don't need to worry. Yes. Is there anyone here who still dares to bid against me? If not, then the Dragon Marrow Jade is surely in my hands. Gu Tingchuan, it's only 5 million. Does the Grand Marshal's mansion not have enough money or something? Even if you bid, I will immediately follow you and crush you with money. I must have this piece of Dragon Marrow Jade. Let him bid. But if Chu Tianqi takes the Dragon Marrow Jade, how should I deal with it? That's right. It's alright. Just listen to me. Okay. If there are no further bids, I declare this stone will be purchased by Young Master Chu. I invite Young Master Chu to the stage to cut the stone. Is having an advisory team something to be proud of? How can they compare to me? Why didn't I know before that Chu Tianqi was so arrogant? Go on up and let those fools who don't know the immensity of the world...Open their eyes. Fine, today I will let everyone open their eyes to see what the legendary Dragon Marrow Jade is really like. It really opened the Dragon Marrow Jade . I'm shocked. The Dragon Marrow Jade is definitely mine now. Why is it like this? Where is my Dragon Marrow Jade? Congratulations to Young Master Chu for buying a pile of sand for 5 million. Keep it. That stone was clearly a real Kunlun stone, so why did it turn into a pile of sand once cut? The method was wrong. So that's how it is. When cutting Kunlun stone, you must use the correct technique; you cannot just cut it carelessly. Chu Tianqi is truly a fool who knows nothing. He ruined that precious stone with his own hands, damn it. I really shouldn't have cut it open so carelessly just now. Young Master Chu, please return to your seat. The next auction item is about to come up. Steward. Young Master, we have a big problem. What happened? The Dong Doanh Group people said they heard the Dragon Marrow Jade doesn't exist, and they won't provide the funds for us to bid. Huh? We only had the cash from the Chu family bank to pay for those 5 million just now. If we lose these 5 million, our capital chain will break. How can that be? The Chu family is incredibly wealthy; will we really go broke over just 5 million? Oh my goodness, Master, have you forgotten? Before, to please the East Ying side, you took half the Chu family's assets to mine with them, and in the end, they reported back that there was nothing in the mine. We...we are bankrupt. What did you say? Brother, what are we going to do now? It's nothing, I am very close to the chairman of the East Ying group. When the stone gambling convention ends, I'll go beg the group, they won't abandon us. If the Dragon Marrow Jade doesn't exist and I can't get it, the Gu family shouldn't even think about getting it either. Please bring out the next auction item. The second stone comes from deep in the Qinling Mountains, with a starting price of 10 yuan. This stone looks so fake, I don't see any sign of jade quality. Even if it only costs 10 yuan, anyone with a bit of knowledge wouldn't bother buying it. Buying it would only make people laugh at you. Miss, am I right? It really is a useless stone, but it can be bought. What? You're buying a useless stone? 10 yuan. I spent 5 million and still couldn't buy the Dragon Marrow Jade. Do you actually think this 10-yuan worthless stone is the Dragon Marrow Jade? Gu Dingchuan, naivety has its limits. Is anyone else here bidding? How boring. A worthless stone, what is there to bid on? There's definitely nothing inside. Very well. If no one else is bidding, I declare this stone belongs to the Young Marshal. Now, I invite the Young Marshal to come on stage to cut the stone. There's nothing there. Do you see? I told you there was nothing. A stone that even a dog wouldn't want. Only you would listen to this kid and buy it. The Young Marshal has eyes but might as well be blind. He'll surely become the laughing stock of the Stone Gambling Convention from now on. Who said this was a useless stone? What is that? What is that? The dragon appears, the dragon awakens. This is, this is Dragon Marrow Jade. Huh? This is indeed Dragon Marrow Jade. As expected, the young lady was right. Dragon Marrow Jade truly is a miraculous object. It's overflowing with spiritual energy; one look and I feel completely refreshed. I didn't expect Dragon Marrow to actually exist. Could the legend be true as well? It helps people eliminate illness and prolong their lifespan. Impossible, there's no Dragon Marrow Jade; this must be fake. That's right, Dinh Xuyen, how could a stone save the General? You've definitely been deceived. I only believe the young lady's words. We have the Dragon Marrow Jade; let's not delay any longer, let's return to the Co family estate. Yes, young lady. Huh? What? Why? Dinh Xuyen. Dinh Xuyen. Why what? What are you doing? Brother? The Chu family is finished. Dinh Xuyen's eyes are only on that girl , he won't even look at me once. Think of something quickly. I cannot live without Dinh Xuyen. I want to be the young commander's wife. What? What is it? I promise you, after tonight, the Chu family will become the top family in the North; by then, you can even make Co Dinh Xuyen live in your house. Really? You must not lie to me again this time. Rest assured, I am not lying to you. Co Dinh Xuyen, the death-gathering formation of the Dong Doanh sorcerer is about to form; the midnight hour tonight is the day the Co family dies. There are only six hours left before the formation is complete, and the Co family will be beyond saving. Young lady, what is that black mist? Brother, what are you talking about? What black mist? There is clearly nothing here. Young lady, what is actually going on? It’s just that I used spiritual energy to save you once; now that you've been revived and opened your spiritual eye, your foundation for spiritual energy is good. Spiritual eye? Young lady, could this be the formation set up by the Dong Doanh people at the Co estate? That's right, this formation requires placing items of extreme evil energy in the appropriate positions. Things like antiques, Western paintings, and blood-dragon trees are all conduits for storing evil energy. Young lady, brother, why are you two looking at me? The formation you two mentioned, I don't see anything at all. Does this actually exist? Huh? Wh-what is that thing in the sky? You fool, if you hadn't brought these things back, would the Gu family have faced such a catastrophe? This is the formation that the young lady mentioned . Do you believe it now? Young lady, I believe you. I truly believe you. It really was Chu Tianqi; he was the one who tricked me into buying these things. Chu Tianqi? The Chu family. It seems they have colluded with the Dongying people to harm the Gu family. I deserve to die. I have harmed the Gu family; I have harmed Father. Brother, what should we do now? Please, young lady, save the Gu family. Please, young lady, save the Gu family. It will be okay. I am here. Gather everyone in the Gu family to the main hall. Yes, understood. The Gu family pledges to honor the young lady as our master forever. Please, young lady, protect the Gu family. The Gu family pledges to honor the young lady as our master forever. Please, young lady, protect the Gu family. Wh-what, what is this, what is this? Young lady. What is this? This formation intends to take the lives of everyone in the Gu family; this cinnabar can help everyone survive tonight. But you must not wipe or wash the cinnabar off, otherwise, it will be hard to save your lives. But you must not wipe or wash the cinnabar off; have the blood dragon trees in the yard been cut down yet? We have followed your instructions, young lady; all the blood dragon trees have been cut down. The formation is nearly complete; to guard against other methods from our opponents, tonight, I need someone with pure Yang blood to hold the Jade Dragon Pendant to help me break this formation . Stay by Gu Banye's bedside and remember not to step out of the room. Yes, young lady. Father, do you think the Gu family will get through tonight's ordeal? Wipe it off, wipe it off. Does this thing really work? It seems it’s fine if I just touch it a little. It was fine, so why is the Peace Jade broken? Young lady, what is this? This formation intends to take the lives of everyone in the Gu family. This cinnabar can help everyone survive tonight, but you must not wipe or wash it off, otherwise, it will be hard to save your lives. You're right, Miss. I must listen to you; I shouldn't go looking for death. Miss, something is wrong. Something happened to the Fourth Master. What are you talking about? How is Tu Triet? There was a loud scream in the Fourth Master's room just now. I'll go check it out. The Miss already ordered that we cannot go out. Huh? Where did the person who was just here go? Why is tonight so strange? Why do I have such a bad feeling inside? Fourth Uncle, what are you doing? Strange, why does Fourth Uncle seem to be controlled by someone tonight? Miss is here. Why did Fourth Uncle become like this? He wiped off the cinnabar on his hand; it’s hard for him to escape this disaster. How truly... Miss, what was that just now? What on earth has happened? The formation set up by the Dongying people is targeting the Gu family. Without the protection of the cinnabar, the formation would possess you at the hour of the rat tonight. The Gu family would slaughter each other, and blood would flow like a river. This formation is too cruel. These animals, I will never forgive them. Miss, you saved me again. Rest assured, since you follow me, I will protect you completely. Miss, this is... The hour of the rat has arrived; I must act now. Then what should we do? Take this dragon marrow jade and help me break the formation. Pure yang breaks evil, golden light clears obstacles, return to the origin!... The formation is broken. Tomorrow, we can save Gu Banac. Thank you, Miss. The pure yang light drives away evil spirits. Miss has such abilities; she is truly like a fairy. That's great, Father. The Gu family is saved. Tomorrow, Miss will be able to save your life. Fourth Uncle? Brother, what exactly happened? Fourth Uncle wiped off the cinnabar on his hand last night, let evil spirits enter, and ran to Father's room to attack you. What? I was almost shot. When my life was in danger, Miss suddenly appeared and saved me, but Fourth Uncle is gone. Everything Miss said is true. The cinnabar on our hands cannot be wiped off; otherwise, we lose our lives. Touching it a little is fine . It was the jade pendant that helped me avoid the catastrophe. Tu Triet, what did you say? What exactly happened last night? Last night, a voice kept speaking to me . Telling me to rush out. I was just about to rush out. When the jade pendant split in two. That’s when I remembered the young lady's words. It’s a good thing I didn't rush out. Otherwise, I would have ended up like Fourth Uncle. I would have lost my life . Brother. It’s truly, truly terrifying. Has the formation at our door been broken yet? Last night, I thought I saw the young lady use a golden light to break the formation; we should be fine from now on. Because of that golden light last night. Brother, the young lady is so formidable; first she saved your life, then she saved the entire Gu family. Brother, who exactly is that young lady? I don’t know either. But since she saved the Gu family, we must keep our promise. We must serve her and be loyal to her. Tu Zhe, if you ever dare to offend the young lady again, I won't forgive you. Brother, I understand. After this, I will only listen to the young lady. If she tells me to go east, I will never go west. Speak of the devil, she’s already here. We have been respectfully waiting for you, Young Lady. Where is he? Young Lady, this is... Gu Banue's fate had already run out, but I have a connection with the Gu family, so I will extend his life. This is a Nine-Turn Pill; put it in his mouth, and he will wake up. Yes. Does a pill that can defy fate really exist in this world? Why is there sudden thunder and lightning when the weather was fine? Defying fate goes against the Heavenly Dao. Who is talking? Could it be that we want to help the Commander change his destiny? Does the Heavenly Dao not even allow that? Young Lady, this... It's fine. I have decided, so what could possibly be the problem? A single word from the young lady turned the Heavenly Dao around. I never expected the young lady could even persuade the Heavens. I actually dared to offend her before. I really have a death wish. This is the true power of the young lady. The Gu family is protected now; everything will go smoothly from here on. Dingchuan. Dad, you’re awake. Ding... Dad, thank goodness you’re okay now. I thought I wasn't going to make it. Who saved my life? Dad, is it Miss Shen who saved you? You... Are...are you that same person from back then? Huh? Help me, please help me ! Help, save me! Save me. Save me. I'm cured, I'm cured! Fifty years ago, I almost lost my life in an epidemic; it was you who saved me back then. I have always remembered meeting you. I never expected that after all these years, you haven't changed at all and could save me once again. Thank you , Immortal, for saving my life. You have maintained peace in this region, which is a great merit. You have a connection with me, so I will certainly help you. The danger to the Gu family has now been resolved, so you need not worry anymore. Why did she disappear again? Miss Shen never leaves a trace; don't worry about it. Dad, have some water. Dingchuan, Miss Shen said the Gu family was in danger. What is actually going on? Dad, Miss Shen said the reason you were assassinated by the Eastern invaders and left unconscious was because Zhou Tianqi set up a death trap for the Gu family. Zhou Tianqi? Aren't the Gu and Zhou families supposed to be married into each other? Why would he want to harm the Gu family? Dad, Zhou Tianqi has likely been a lackey for the Eastern invaders for a long time. He helped the Eastern invaders exploit our resources. When I got home, while she wasn't here, I drove Miss Shen away, and after learning the truth, I called off the engagement with the Zhou family. You bastard, get on your knees! Dad, I truly know I was wrong. You were gullible and brought disaster upon the Gu family, but Miss Shen is an unparalleled master—do you even know how many people wish to meet her but can't? Our family having her here is a blessing accumulated over generations. Why would you treat her like that? Dad, I wouldn't dare anymore. Kneel here for three days and three nights to reflect on yourself. Hurry up . I understand. Dad... As for the Zhou family, Dingchuan, you did the right thing. The Gu family will never marry into the family of a lackey for the Eastern invaders. If they want to help the Easterners harm our family, then they cannot be forgiven. Rest assured, Mother. I will definitely settle this account with the Chu family . The Easterners will take them away with no way back. Very well. Dingchuan, I heard Miss Shen signed a contract with the Xie family, promising to help only them. How were you able to invite her here, child? I led people to the Xie residence and knelt to beg Miss Shen. The situation of the Xie family is like that. In the end, we swore that the Gu family would serve as her loyal servants forever to earn her protection. To overcome the difficulties smoothly. In other words, the foolish descendants of the Xie family drove Miss Shen away, and now the Gu family has her as our backing. That's right, Father. Oh, that is wonderful. I have tried many times to beg to become her loyal servant, but I never got my wish. But now, has the wish finally come true? Oh , Dingchuan, you truly did the right thing. Well done, my child. Mother, Father is better; his illness has eased significantly. Go and attend to Miss Shen; do not show any disrespect. Yes, Father. There is a guest at the gate. A guest? Who would come to the Marshal's mansion at this hour? Young Marshal, it is the Xie family from the South City. Xie Junshan, Xie Jingxing, and Xie Hongjian are visiting . What are they here for? Could they have come all this way to take Miss Shen back? Yes, that is correct. They said they must kneel and beg Miss Shen to return. I heard that the day after Miss Shen left the Xie house, the entire family collapsed. What happened? As soon as Miss Shen left, the Xie family's warehouse was struck by lightning and burned down. Xie Junshan, the South City commander, rushed into the fire and was burned all over, nearly losing his life. The Eastern army suddenly attacked the Xie family troops. Many members of the Xie family have died. It seems the Xie family is on the brink of destruction. It looks like they only remembered her because they were terrified. Kneeling to beg Miss Shen to return. Does Miss want to invite them in? No need, you go out and see. Yes, Miss. Does my father know about this? Young Marshal, I am preparing to report this to the Grand Marshal. If my father finds out, he will surely teach the Xie family a lesson. I will head out first; this time, I will not let the Xie family take the young lady away again. You traveled for two days and two nights just to get here to beg that girl to come back. Mr. Wu, are you telling the truth? Be quiet. Today, we must beg Miss Shen for her forgiveness and invite her back to the Xie family. Hong Jian, do you actually believe your father? What kind of talent does Shen Zhao have? I don't want to kneel and beg. Mother, have you forgotten the situation of the Xie family and your daughter? Stop insulting Miss Shen. I am insulting her. I was not wrong. That girl is truly useless. She is the one who caused your sister's death. If you dare to insult Miss Shen again, I will not forgive you. I... Father, this is the Grand Marshal's mansion in the capital. I heard that last night, Miss Shen saved the Grand Marshal. This time, to ask Miss Shen to save the Xie family, we must show our sincerity. Of course. I would even be willing to kneel and apologize to her. Jingxing, rest assured. As long as Miss Shen forgives our family, even if I have to drag this crippled body to kowtow to her, I will do it. Yes, let's kneel together. Apologize to Miss Shen. Xie Junshan of the Xie family kneels to beg for Miss Shen's forgiveness. The Xie family did wrong in the past and has already suffered the deserved punishment; I hope Miss Shen will forgive us. I didn't expect the Xie family to be so shameless; after offending the young lady the other day, they are kneeling to beg Miss Shen today. Who was it that said it so firmly and refused to believe it? Miss Shen's abilities...Gu Tingchuan, what do you mean by that? Young Marshal, don't forget that Miss Shen and the Xie family have a century-old bond. As someone who just barged in, what right do you have to think she will choose your side? Too noisy. All of you, leave . My ties with the Xie family have been severed. Miss Shen, the Xie family knows they were wrong; please, Miss Shen, save the Xie family once more. Miss Shen, I shouldn't have offended you, I shouldn't have sent you away. I was wrong, as long as you spare us, I'll do anything. You don't actually realize your mistakes or want to repent, you're clearly just afraid of death. Who are you? I am the Great Marshal of the Northern City. Gu Bayue is the loyal servant of the young lady. What? A prestigious Great Marshal, a renowned hero, is actually willing to be a servant? So what? Being the young lady's servant is my honor, unlike you. It's a waste of Xie Chengyuan's lifelong reputation to have descendants like you. No wonder he died with his eyes wide open, what does this all mean ? Back then, Xie Chengyuan had the fortune to sign a contract with the young lady, vowing that the Xie family would be her servants for generations, which is why in just a few short years he went from a beggar boy to the commander of the Southern City. The Xie family also received a hundred years of protection from the young lady. All his descendants have been protected from illness and disaster. The young lady is kind-hearted; after Xie Chengyuan passed away, she even transformed the family's destiny into a Celestial Jade to keep the Xie family peaceful for generations. But I never expected you fools to be so stupid as to destroy that Celestial Jade. The Celestial Jade truly contained the destiny of the Xie family, and I let Yao Yao destroy it, and even drove Miss Shen away. Father, I have been so unfilial. I have ruined the Xie family; I truly deserve to die. It seems everything Miss Shen said was true. My sister died because she tried to take the Celestial Jade. That's impossible. They must be lying. Grandfather, even if the Celestial Jade is an heirloom, it has nothing to do with the Xie family's destiny. Yao Yao was killed by Shen Zhao. You fool, this is all your fault. I doubted Miss Shen time and time again, and in the end, it led to this disaster . No wonder before he passed away, grandfather specifically warned everyone never to go against Miss Shen's wishes. You deserve it. The Xie family truly deserves it; the Xie family is unworthy of Miss Shen's grace , now get out! Don't stay here and bother the young lady. Where are the guards? Yes. Go, go, go, go! Marshal Gu must be senile to believe Shen Zhao's words. How dare he kick me out. Master, you must absolutely not believe them. You already promised me. You must settle the score with Shen Zhao for Yao Yao. Mother, please don't talk like that anymore. Have you forgotten your sister's fate? Mother, don't you feel any remorse, are you not afraid of retribution? That girl is a murderer. I'm not wrong, what retribution are you talking about? Enough, it's all because of you. That the Xie family ended up like this. Get out. Starting tomorrow, I don't want to see you. Master, what do you mean? Get out. Jingxing, get in the car. Let's go home. Master! Cigarettes. Anyone? Selling cigarettes here. Master! I...Hongqian, you can't abandon Mother. Mother, you brought this all upon yourself. I am a Xie descendant, I must go back to Father anyway. No, don't leave me behind. Master, Master! Hongqian! Father, he just drove away. Master! Hongqian, Hongqian, Hongqian! What is that? Go over there. Did they hit someone? She's dead. Who is it? Who is it? Marshal, there is news. Xie Junshan was seen taking Chu Meifang and their two sons back to the southern city. But Chu Meifang had an accident, a kind person took her to the hospital. She survived, but she is now in a vegetative state. Xie Junshan is truly vicious. Cause and effect, everything has its retribution. Right, Dingchuan? Any movements from the Chu family and the Dongying people? After the stone gambling event, the Chu family went bankrupt, but the Dongying people still covet the northern city, secretly helping the Chu family to act as spies and stir up trouble. It is time to eliminate the Chu family and those Dongying people, to let them know the Gu family is not to be trifled with. Dingchuan, assemble the troops immediately and wait for the right moment to act. Yes, Father. I'm done, done, done, what is that, get out, get out, get out. The Marshal is alive, the Gu family is fine , and Gu Dingxuan knows the Chu family is behind it. We're done for, it's all over, oh my God. Brother, what's wrong? Why are you panicking? What happened? What? Huh? Pack your things and follow me, now! I'll have someone book ship tickets immediately so we can hide abroad. Hurry up! Huh? Brother, what are you saying? Right now? Good heavens, I can't explain it in a few words. You need to leave with me right now. Go! I'm not going. Didn't you say it yourself? That today the Chu family would reach the top, and I could even have Dingchuan. Oh, my foolish sister. My plan has failed. Gu Banye is not dead. The Chu family's scheme to collude with the Dongying group has also been exposed. If we don't leave and Gu Dingchuan gets here, we're finished. Hurry up! No, Brother Dingchuan wouldn't hurt me. I'm not going. If I leave, I'll never be able to marry Brother Dingchuan. You must leave with me immediately. I'm not going. Where do you two intend to go? Brother Dingchuan. The Chu family colluded with the Dongying people to set up a formation to harm the Gu family. I have come here today to settle the score with you all. Move everyone aside. Brother Dingchuan, please listen to my explanation. I...I know nothing about this. Gu Dingchuan, I did all of this by myself; it has nothing to do with my sister. She doesn't know anything. Let me tell you something. You know that the Dongying group is behind me. If you dare to touch me, they won't let you off. Rest assured. Once I'm done with you, I will go settle the score with them right away. Brother Dingchuan, you can't treat me like this. Brother Dingchuan! Just you wait. Didn't you say this plan would definitely succeed? Yesterday, I just received news that the Gu family is completely fine. Gu Banye has also woken up. Even the Chu family pawn is lost. Then how are we supposed to proceed? It doesn't matter that the Chu family pawn is lost. The important thing is that my soul-gathering formation almost succeeded last night. But I don't know how it was broken by someone. I was also affected quite a bit, my lord. Do you really need to find out what it is today? Where is everyone? Investigate immediately. Yes. Madam. It happened like this. That's right. Exactly. Miss Shen, are you saying the Gu family was saved by a 12-year-old girl? Yes. How is that possible? A 12-year-old girl how could she break the formation? She's just a girl, how skilled could she possibly be? The formation being broken was just her luck. As long as we kill her, the Gu family will surely be destroyed sooner or later. Capturing the Northern city will be as easy as flipping one's hand. You mean this water has been cursed by me, it has no color or smell. It's hard for ordinary people to detect, just a little can kill, put it in the Gu family's well. Even if the Gu family has some experts, they won't be able to escape death. Very good. Chu Tianqi's mole is one of our own. Although Chu Tianqi is dead, his mole is still hiding in the Gu family, so it's logical to entrust this to him. They're here. Miss. You all have arrived. Look over there. What is that person sneakily doing? Huh, why is it floating up? He's trying to poison us; this is a specially made curse water from Dongying. How dare you poison the Commander's mansion? Speak, what else did the Dongying people make you do? Adjutant. Yes, sir. Take him and interrogate him thoroughly to see how many more moles are in the mansion. Yes. Let's go. Miss, the Dongying people are truly ruthless. I want to... If you want to do it, just do it, no need to ask for my opinion. Yes, Miss. What a powerful sorcerer, just one bottle of curse water can wipe out the entire Gu family. Once the Gu family members are all dead, we can attack the Northern city tomorrow. By then, it will be the victory of our Dongying Empire. It seems the expert behind the Gu family isn't all that great. They are so foolish to rely on a 12-year-old child to protect them. I still don't believe she has any amazing skills. Please. Huh? Go on, go on. Go. Who is that? I am Gu Dingxuan. I have come today to take the lives of you Easterners. How is this possible? Gu Dingchuan, why are you not dead yet? There is no antidote for my cursed water. You should have died by now. Rest assured, once you are dead. We will still live just fine. Because I will send you down to the underworld. You...you wouldn't dare. What is there not to dare? You harmed my people and stole my country. Today I will ensure none of you make it out alive. You think you alone can hurt me? Go to hell. What is wrong? How dare you touch my people! Miss Shen. You are that twelve-year-old girl. This, this, this is impossible, how could you be this strong? You are not worthy to know. Gu Dingchuan. No, no, no, no. Miss, brother, good news, the Eastern army has surrendered, they won't come again. That is wonderful. Miss, what do you plan to do next? With peace in the land, I will live in seclusion in the mountains. Gu Dingchuan swears to follow you in life and death, Miss. Me too, I will follow you forever, as your most loyal servant. Ha.
