Your Majesty, We’ve located
the Young Prince. Where is he? He’s been living in Jiangzhou under the name Lu Yu. He’s endured
poverty these years. Three years ago, he was jailed in place of his
fiancée Su Yanran. They vowed to
marry upon his release. Today is the Young
Prince’s release date. Here are the full details. Back then, I fought for our nation but was betrayed by traitors. My only son
vanished because of this. He’s suffered all these years… Now that I’m Daxia’s
only titled prince, I’ll make it
up to Yu’er properly. Send my order: Prepare lavish betrothal gifts for the Su family. The world shall know Lu Yu is the Dragon King’s heir! Yes. Lu Yu. Lu Yu, Get up. Let’s go. Hurry up! Young Master Zhou, I must pick
up Lu Yu from prison. He took my
prison sentence 3 years ago. This debt must be repaid. Su Yanran, Step through that door today, and I’ll cancel your family’s 10-billion contract and blacklist the Su clan
across Jiangzhou! The Zhous are powerful, but in Jiangzhou, they don’t
control everything. Times have changed. I’ve learned that at our
wedding in 3 days, the Dragon King
will propose to your family! With the Dragon King’s favor, not just Jiangzhou— the entire Daxia will heed the
Zhou family’s words! Daxia’s Dragon King Now… Still want to
fetch that Lu Yu brat? Oh no, no way, no way! We’re running out of time! My brother-in-law’s
getting out today. I need to dress up nicely. Gotta make a
good impression. Which outfit should I pick? Why didn’t Yanran
come to pick me up? You… You’re… Get lost! Ah! I said get lost! Today’s my sworn brother’s release celebration! Don’t ruin the mood here. Scram! This road’s wide enough. Why can’t I walk here? Because my
brother Zhao Zhuoran is Jiangzhou’s Emperor! Only he can
walk this royal road. Sewer rats like you belong in the gutters! Beat it! Heh, I get it now. You’re saying you’re rats too, not fit for the main road? Kid, you asking for death? Brothers, take him down! Wait, wait, wait! Agh! My apologies
for arriving late, Young Lord. Please forgive us. All hail the Young Lord! Young Lord… I… What’s this
raggedy troupe? Performing here? If he’s the Dragon King… If he’s the
Dragon King’s son, I’m the Dragon Emperor! How dare you! Defame the Dragon King? Seize them! I’m here for
Jiangzhou’s Zhao Zhuoran! Lay a finger on me, he’ll be out any moment! You won’t see tomorrow! Who’s this Zhao Zhuoran? Wait! Zhao rules
Jiangzhou’s underworld! Thousands at his command! Even the
mayor bows to him! You… Let him go! Young master… That Zhao fellow’s just the Dragon King’s pawn! All of Jiangzhou combined isn’t worth your single hair! I’ll remember that. When he emerges… you’re dead! Get out of here! I’ll take responsibility! Or you’ll never escape! Stay calm, young master. Let’s see… what he can do to us! What can he do? Zhao controls over half of Jiangzhou’s underworld! Connected to
Daxia’s Dragon Court! Cross Zhao in Jiangzhou… Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Hahaha! Jiangzhou’s
underground emperor? What grand airs! All hail Zhao’s release! Move! Welcome, Lord Zhao! My lord… This insolent woman dares disrespect you! Shall we… take her down? All hail the
North Sea War God! You recognize me. Three years ago
at the War God’s coronation… I had the honor to attend once. Ah, right. My reason
for being imprisoned was to find Young Master Lu. So that means… the intel about Young Master came from you? Exactly. Your subordinate has met the Young Master. Hey, hey! Heh heh… He… he’s truly the Young Master! For your service in finding him, I’ll spare you this time. But your
subordinate’s arrogance and threats to Young Master are unforgivable! Bastard! Take him away. I truly didn’t know he was I had no idea, I swear! If this happens again… you know
the consequences. I wouldn’t dare. Young Master… I serve
under the Dragon King as North
Sea War God Yu Linger. Sent to escort
you per His Majesty’s order. From now on,
I’ll be your personal aide. But I’m just… What ‘Young Master’? It’s confirmed. You’ve got the wrong person. I’m just an ordinary Today’s my first day out of prison. Your name is Lu Yu, age 23, orphaned since birth. Imprisoned three years
ago for fiancée Su Yanran. Oh, and… You have a
birthmark on your buttock. Am I wrong? Holy… Seems I’m correct. You’re the one we’ve been searching for all these years. So I’m
really the Young Master? Does this mean I don’t need to worry
about Yanran’s dowry? Is my father wealthy? Naturally. To compensate for lost years, the Dragon King transferred
numerous assets to you. He’s also prepared an engagement gift for you and Miss Su’s
ceremony in three days. If you’re available, I’ll show you everything. Let’s go. Move, move, move! That man looks
just like brother-in-law! But such a grand occasion It can’t be for him Strange… Brother-in-law, where is he? Greetings, Young Master Young Master His Highness has
prepared your allowance Cash: 300 billion Gold: 100,000 taels 300 billion Allowance Young Master The Patriarch
arranged these for you Luxury cars, yachts Private jets and villas Worth nearly 100 billion Choose as you wish Greetings, Young Master Grand Palace Hotel: total investment 800 million 90 chain branches worldwide Annual profit: 300 million All now under your ownership Here’s the
hotel’s general manager and executive team 300 million profit Moreover The Patriarch
heard in three days you’ll be engaged
to Miss Su Yanran He’s prepared betrothal gifts and will attend the ceremony Understood I don’t want
Grand Palace Hotel Give it to Yanran instead Brother-in-law,
where were you? I was in prison Why didn’t I see you? A friend picked me up What about Yanran? Why didn’t she come? Cousin She mentioned
a business deal today At Grand Palace’s
presidential suite Business meeting At the hotel Let’s leave
it at that for now. I’ll think it over. Young Master Zhou I haven’t agreed to anything yet. Fine. What are you doing here? Lu Yu You’re out of prison. I’m asking- What were
you doing just now? We were
discussing cooperation. Su Yanran, do
you take me for a fool? In a hotel room- A man and woman
alone discussing business? So you’re Lu Yu. Who are you? I am from Jiangzhou The Zhou
Family’s eldest son. And Yanran’s fiancé. In three days Yanran and I- will be married. You’re her fiancé? What am I hearing? Su Yanran,
care to explain? Stop questioning me. As your future husband shouldn’t I
know these things? When your
company evaded taxes- I took the blame for you. Served three years in prison. And this is
how you repay me? You did all that voluntarily. I never forced you. If you feel resentful I can compensate you. This card has 3 million. Enough to buy three
years of your freedom. Fine. I did it willingly. So in your eyes- everything can be measured with money, right? If money can’t solve it- you’re not offering enough. Name your price. I’ll pay any reasonable amount. You still don’t understand. Emotionally speaking- I went to
prison for you willingly. But in terms of value my three years are worth far more than your measly 3 million. The truth is- you see
Yanran’s coming wealth and won’t
let go of her, right? I’m clinging to her? Isn’t that right? Three days later Yanran and I will hold
our engagement banquet It’s also when the Zhou Family invests in the Su Family By then Yanran will become Daxia’s most dazzling
business queen Isn’t this exactly
what you’re after? That’s why you won’t let go and keep clinging to her? The Zhou Family Stop putting on this act The Dragon King of Daxia has sent orders
from Tianyuan Pavilion At Yanran’s engagement
banquet in three days he’ll present betrothal gifts and personally
bless the couple This news has
spread across all Daxia Through Daxia’s 9
regions and 38 provinces No one else has
received such honor The Zhou Family has
gained the Dragon King’s favor We’ll surely rise to prominence Becoming Daxia’s
top family is imminent In this small Jiangzhou Our Zhou Family
decides who prospers and who falls We determine who thrives and who perishes You’ve misunderstood The Su Family’s
betrothal gifts were delivered by
the Dragon King for me His coming to Jiangzhou is specifically for me How dare you say that! Why not claim you’re the Dragon King’s son? Well, you’re actually right I am indeed his son Ridiculous! Shameless boasting! Everyone knows the Dragon King
only has one son who’s been missing for years By impersonating his son you’ve committed blasphemy Enough, Luyu! Do you hear your own lies? Claiming to be
the Dragon King’s son Saying he came for you Then why
in all these years have you
contributed nothing to our family? You ignore everything I say but believe his every word Am I truly so unworthy of trust? Trust is
earned through actions My father Zhou Pohu is one of the
Dragon King’s eight lords second only to the four warlords In all Jiangzhou besides our Zhou Family who else has
such connections? The Dragon King
recognizes my excellence and wants to promote me You say he came for you Where’s your proof? Proof? Will this count as proof? Grandeur Heights
Share Transfer Contract What? I originally intended to give you this as a surprise The value of this contract far exceeds Su
Corporation in your hands Do you still
think I’m after money by sticking with you? Grandeur Heights is a top-tier hotel
chain across Daxia Its owners are
either powerful figures or billionaires A lowly ex-con like you waving a fake contract to scam people… Don’t you find this ridiculous? Young Master Zhou You claim this is fake? Yanran Think carefully He’s an ex-convict released less
than half a day ago How could he possibly negotiate such
a major contract? Your ignorance makes this beyond
your comprehension Enough, Lu Yu! Stop this nonsense! Partnering with
Young Master Zhou will make me
Jiangzhou’s top tycoon While you remain a talentless ex-con The gap between us will only widen The engagement is off It’s best for both Engagement cancelled This was your goal all along wasn’t it? Yes I’m grateful you
took my prison sentence But that shouldn’t chain me to your pathetic existence You never understood me I, Su Yanran will never be content with mediocre success or domestic trivialities If you ever loved me let me go Lu Yu You’re not
worthy of me I’m unworthy of you Enough, Lu Yu You’re just an ex-con Yanran’s
made herself clear You… Get lost! Brother-in-law She doesn’t want you I do Rain Ning Rain Ning What are
you messing around I’m not messing around I have a crush on
my brother-in-law for a long time Just because you
were engaged before That’s why I ‘ve always liked it. hidden in the heart Now, since you’re about
to break off your engagement That’s good. Brother-in-law, oh no Lu Yu You marry me Rain Ning Although you are only a
side of the Chen family in Beijing But at least they
come from a noble family. With your status What kind of man can’t find To marry one. incapacitated prisoners
of reform through labor Are you
going to pissed me off? Cousin Feelings are unreasonable People like you Eyes only
money and power You will never understand I am for your own good Thanks, I don’t need In my eyes Lu Yu is the best man He is gentle
and considerate Will take care of people When I brought
him back to the family Is my most correct decision What did you say Save me. It’s not Su
Yan Ran, it’s you Good. Sue Yan Ran I agree to dissolve
the engagement Lu Yu If you have
a little conscience Don’t harm Yu Ning What I do has
nothing to do with you I’ll make
you clear in three days Zhou Tianqi,
whom you rely on. Nothing in front of me I have a word You can be proud of it. Engagement
Feast Collapses Let him fall to the
bottom of Zhou Tianqi Let the Zhou Family Bowing Big talk means nothing. This only makes
me despise you more. In three days when he’s
crushed beneath my feet I hope you’ll
still keep this arrogance. You think you can? Exactly. Me. I’ll be watching. Let’s go. Brother-in-law Let’s get our
marriage license. Marriage license? Isn’t this too fast? I’ve waited
years for this day. After handling
your sister’s matters I’ll marry you properly. Fine. I’ll wait. Your Highness I saw Miss Yanran leaving with a strange man. Hmm. She broke
off our engagement. What? Broke it off? Who could treat her better or be more
capable than you? In her eyes I’m just a lazy bum clinging to her coattails. Compared to her Mr. Zhou we’re worlds apart. Shortsighted fool. Three days later we’ll give her a surprise. The North Sea
Marshal just informed me My son took the
Su girl’s prison sentence Not only is she ungrateful she dares to scorn him and break the engagement! Sir The Su heiress is shortsighted and unworthy. Now that
you’ve found your son Three noble families
sent marriage proposals offering their daughters. The princess from
the Imperial noble family is still worthy of my son. But matters of the youth should be left
for them to pursue. Understood. Regarding locating my son, Zhao Zhuoran
performed well. This Dragon King Token shall serve as his reward. Thank you for your service. Understood. Have me propose
marriage in person. Prepare ten luxury
cars for the procession. Ready the private jet. I’ll retrieve my bride. Lu Yu, you’re
destined to be mine. Chairman
of Dihao Group Lin Changsheng Century-old
Jiangzhou noble families Wang Wanli of House Wang Imperial nephew of Jiangzhou Lin Shize of House Lin Even they’re here? The Lin, Wang, and Ning clans are Jiangzhou’s Three Pillars Standing strong in
Jiangzhou for 300 years True aristocracy of our time If even they’ve come… the rumors must be true The Dragon
Lord is coming today Hahaha! Our Great Xia Dragon Lord offers betrothal gifts and graces your wedding Tianqi, my boy From this day forward your Zhou family will soar reigning over Jiangzhou The throne is within reach! Hahaha! Today marks
the Zhou family’s rise Our early congratulations! Thank you, Uncle Wang Thank you, Uncle Lin We three great clans present this grand congratulatory gift Celestial jade crane with crimson crown soaring through clouds to celestial heights Such exquisite craftsmanship must be priceless! Haha! Its value… Our Three Great Clans’ gift transcends monetary value This crane… carved from single block of premium Hetian jade meticulously crafted The jade alone… is a rare treasure worth over 100 million yuan Ten master craftsmen labored seven days to create this masterpiece These experts… Without connections no money could hire them Countless resources… were expended Tianqi Director Su For this gift… we three clans spared no expense Haha! This crane… embodies infinite value Like your own boundless future, Tianqi! Hahaha! Cloud crane ascending to the heavens This celestial gift… Do you accept? Absolutely satisfied! What future
does he deserve? Luyu Today is my wedding day. How dare you show up here? If I hadn’t come, how could I witness you submit to me? Luyu I know you
can’t stand seeing me thrive after leaving you. Your jealousy is showing. But there’s a
line you shouldn’t cross. This reckless behavior will bring you
grave consequences. Apologize to Tianqi now. Hmph… An apology won’t suffice. Sever your own limbs and kowtow 100 times, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll make you bleed right here! Cousin, Luyu acted impulsively before. I’ll take responsibility
for his mistakes. Name your
terms to spare him, I’ll do anything. Fine. My demand is simple: He’ll kneel before me. For every fragment
of this broken jade crane, he’ll kowtow once. These shards… There’s over ten thousand pieces! Seems like Luyu will kowtow
himself to death today. Make me kneel? You’re not worthy! Kneel before you? You’re not worthy. You’re not worthy. In all of Jiangzhou, who is? Lu Yu, let me tell you, Today isn’t just Zhou Tianqi’s
engagement banquet, but also the Zhou
family’s rise to glory. Hundreds of
Jiangzhou’s elites, and the three great
families are here to celebrate. Later, the Dragon Lord of
Great Xia will grace us. To gain the
Dragon Lord’s favor, the Zhou family
will be in Great Xia, holding high
positions in all 38 provinces. A future in the cabinet is within reach. Now I ask you, am I worthy? Hurry up and apologize
to Young Master Zhou! If you kneel obediently, there’s still
a chance for survival. If you resist stubbornly, not only will Young
Master Zhou not spare you, but the three great
families of Jiangzhou, hundreds of elites, will not spare you either. That’s right. If you don’t kneel, the Han family
of Jiangzhou won’t let it go! Lu Yu, for the sake of our past, I can plead for you, and he might let you off. But on one condition, you must
show Tianqi your sincerity. Sincerity? Like Tianqi said, kneel and apologize. Su Yanran, in your heart, am I someone
who would abandon dignity to kneel before others? The difference in
status between you and Tianqi is too great. Kneeling to him isn’t shameful. Being stubborn and defiant is worse than being thrown out like a dead dog. I think you’re all crazy. Having status and power allows you to
force others to kneel? According to your theory, then I’m sorry, looking at everyone here, all of you must kneel before me. Who do you think you are? You’re just a convict. Why should we,
the powerful, be suppressed? Who am I? Hmph. I’ll tell you now. I am the one you all rely on, everyone flock to, the son of the
Dragon Lord of Great Xia, Lu Yu. Hahahaha Your theatrics won’t save you. Since you refuse to kneel, Very well. These eight
martial arts masters were personally
requested from my uncle, Emperor Zhao
Zhuoran of Jiangzhou. They represent
Jiangzhou’s finest warriors, here to maintain
order at this wedding. Our gratitude, Master Ning. Lu Yu, This is my final warning. Apologize now, and I might plead for mercy. Don’t let this escalate beyond redemption. You’ll regret it too late. Your ‘help’ demands I kneel publicly before someone who mocks me, and kowtow? Is this supposed to help me or humiliate me? Is life not precious? To live… Are you so certain that without your help, I’ll die here? Arrogant. Self-righteous. Clutching at fragile pride, you stubbornly persist. Lu Yu, someone like you will never achieve greatness. Since you reject mercy, from this moment, between us there’s nothing left. The arrogant one isn’t me it’s you, him, and every person here! You claim I’ll die unless I kneel today? Then watch. I’ll sit right here and see who dares claim my life. Got it You brought
this upon yourself. Attack! Kill him now! No! Young Master Zhou If Lu Yu won’t apologize, I’ll do it for him. If he won’t kneel, I’ll kneel instead. If he won’t kowtow, I’ll do it for him. Spare Lu Yu’s life, and I’ll do anything. Yuning, what are you doing? Get up, get up! Don’t stop me! I understand You won’t bow to our cousin, so I’ll bow for you. I just want
you to survive safely. Marry me. Young Master Zhou I’m sorry. Very well. You want me to spare Lu Yu? Fine. But today, these hundreds of dignitaries are here
honoring my reputation. They came for my sake. Here’s the deal: Kowtow to every person here, one bow each, and I’ll spare him. Deal? Done. I accept. How noble
of our Scarlet Rose! Since that’s the case, I’ll be the first to pluck this rose. Back off! Yuning! Get up now! I’ll marry you
after the wedding banquet! Rise! Even if he summoned
dozens of masters, hundreds of them, thousands or
tens of thousands, they couldn’t
touch a hair on my head. H-how dare you hit me? Hit you? Hmph! No. I’ll make
your entire clan fall as compensation for Yuning. Yu Ling’er! At your command! Where’s Zhao Zhuoran? Is this how he governs Jiangzhou? Give him ten minutes to crawl here and beg forgiveness. Yes, sir! No need for
formalities, Mr. Zhao. I’m here today on the Dragon King’s orders, to reward you
for finding the Young Lord. Steward Du, Th-this… Could this be the
Dragon King’s Token? Correct. With this token, you can
issue one command in the Dragon King’s name. However, after single use, the token will be reclaimed. You understand the weight of this honor. I do. This is an
extraordinary honor. Steward Du, I feel unworthy. The Dragon King
searched years for him. Your assistance was invaluable. You’ve earned this. After decades of struggle, I built this empire. Never imagined I’d get to reach new heights beyond my dreams. I, Zhao, thank you, Steward Du, and the Dragon King. Enough. I must prepare the
Young Lord’s betrothal gifts. I’ll take my leave. Let me walk you out. No need. Attend to your duties. You. War God of the North Sea, What instructions do you bring? Zhao Zhuoran, the Young Master commands: Present yourself to apologize
within ten minutes. Fail to appear, and the Zhao family falls tonight. Apologize? War God, what offense have I committed? Ask that to your precious nephew. Now! Get the car ready. To the banquet
hall. Immediately. Lu Yu How dare you! You dare insult my uncle! Brother Ning Your despicable act I saw through it long ago He’s just jealous that I’ve gained
the Dragon King’s favor Trying to ruin
my engagement banquet Lu Yu Is this truly
what you think? Can’t bear
to see me prosper? You’d rather die yourself than let me succeed Su Yanran Don’t flatter yourself Your future means nothing to someone like me If that’s not the case then explain why you crashed this banquet without justification Yu Ning See now? Cowardly and vile rotten to the core This is the man you chose So noble! So mighty! I’m despicable and rotten-hearted Su Yanran Don’t waste words on fools Between us there’s nothing left to say Lu Yu Your sharp
tongue won’t save you You’ve ruined
my engagement feast and offended the Dragon King Today you die here Guards! Seize him! No! Lu Yu Stop being stubborn Apologize to them now and come with me Don’t worry These few can’t harm me Still stubborn? You seek death? Can’t touch you? Big talk In all Jiangzhou few would dare speak before Eight Grandmasters like this You dare defy me? None can save you today When I single-handedly conquered Sakura Nation you brat were still suckling milk To insult a Grandmaster means death Your life is mine Stop bluffing, Lu Yu Apologize now They’re Eight Grandmasters He’s finished What’s going on? What just happened? The grandmaster was defeated. Never thought a girl like you… So young… Is also a grandmaster. Hiding your strength… Playing the fool to ambush. Brother Huang
let his guard down… And you took advantage. You… this little girl… Truly vicious. Concealing your power… Feigning weakness. I’m not that bored. You’re just blind. Can’t see my true strength. So it was a sneak attack… I knew a girl like you… Couldn’t be this strong. Relied on a cheap shot. Even if you’re
a grandmaster… Seven other
grandmasters are here. How many of us… Can you handle? I doubt… Even all eight grandmasters… Can’t defeat her. Ridiculous! I began martial arts at three… Mastered meridians by seven. Reached Xiantian at eighteen. Became a grandmaster at thirty. Sixty years of cultivation! She’s just a brat… Worthy of comparison? Fluked into grandmasterhood. No sense of limits. Youth… Don’t be so arrogant. Enough talk. Come at me together. Little brat… You keep humiliating me… Think I won’t kill you? Brother Zhou… She’s ruthless… Ambushed Brother Huang. Against such treachery… No need for honor. Fine! Since you seek death… Don’t blame us… For showing no mercy. Eight grandmasters
joined forces Couldn’t defeat her Couldn’t defeat her alone You think these people can’t touch me! So you have
such skilled protection No wonder
you remain composed Lu Yu Is this your
hidden trump card? I warned you Your Zhou
family means nothing in my eyes You dare challenge me? You’re not qualified Lu Yu You’d rather hide behind a woman’s skirt? Esteemed grandmaster Don’t let him deceive you He’s just an
ex-con fresh out of prison No wealthy
heir by any means Why risk your reputation for this nobody? Who does he think he is? Save your explanations I know better
than anyone here Then why… Since that’s the case Kneel down immediately for disrespecting
Young Master Lu and kowtow in apology You… Lu Yu Listen carefully Don’t think
clinging to a grandmaster Miss In status and position she’s far above you She’s just toying with you When she’s done you’ll be
discarded like trash The higher you climb using her influence the harder you’ll fall when the time comes You know this so well Planning to treat Su Yanran the same way? Nonsense! My emotional life Don’t you worry It’s you Because of a woman And complacent I can’t see
my true ability. Sooner or later
you will regret This sentence I’m untouched Give it back to you Sue Yan Ran You had the whole world The best fiancé. But you pushed him
away with your own hands. It seems This splash
of riches and power Your Su family
doesn’t deserve it. Lu Yu Who the hell are you Today’s you I feel strange Rain Ning After going back I’ll explain it to you Explain what to explain He’s just a green turtle
who just got out of prison. Is it hard What identity to hide Can crush my Zhou family This guru undeniable You’re really
gifted in the martial arts. But you look at men’s eyes It’s really bad What kind of man is Lu Yu I know all too well People like him With wealth and power These two
words don’t touch It really gives you a face Lu Shao
doesn’t care about you doesn’t mean
I’m as big as him Now Immediately Immediately. Kneel down
and apologize to Lu You This guru I know you’re a great man But now this society Rely on power and status Lu Yu My Zhou family
let you die in the third You won’t live to see the fifth That’s right. Today is my
engagement party Aren’t you curious? Why didn’t
my daddy come? The Lord of the
Dragon King Hall arrives Father You’ve finally arrived Let me introduce everyone This is Jiangzhou’s third-rank Northern Guardian
General Shi Tianxiang General Shi General Shi is
Xia’s third-rank official commanding
provincial military forces A single word decides life or
death for thousands Moreover he’s our Zhou
family’s most honored guest after the Dragon King himself We greet General Shi Everyone No formalities needed Young Master Zhou Your Zhou family
has the Dragon King’s favor After today’s events your status will
soar immeasurably This general may
need your family’s support in days to come Ah General Shi You flatter us Hahaha The honor is ours The Dragon King today acts as Heaven’s
envoy with betrothal gifts to marry Miss Su This news has
swept through the city known by all General Shi To gain the Dragon King’s favor humbles me beyond measure Zhou However someone here today claims to be
the Dragon King’s son spouting outrageous lies disrupting my
wedding celebration This arrogant impostor commits grave offenses Oh? Such audacity exists? Indeed He flaunts a martial
arts master’s backing violently attacked guests running amok Even dared demand the bride kneel before him To avoid
displeasing the Dragon King we sought to handle this quietly But his martial arts master proves formidable We implore
General Shi’s intervention to restore Jiangzhou’s order Eliminate this scum to uphold justice Eliminate this scum to uphold justice Eliminate this scum to uphold justice Eliminate this scum to uphold justice Eliminate this scum to uphold justice Who dares Step forward now! It’s him. General Stone He was once my fiancé, but he’s lazy
and ambitionless. Weak and incompetent. Our Su family
has cut ties with him. His actions today have nothing to do with us. We beg your fair judgment. Lu Yu, How dare you! Kneel before General Stone! Why should I kneel? Why must I kneel? General Stone
holds third-rank authority and governs Jiangzhou. In status and influence, he surpasses everyone here. A lowlife like you shouldn’t even
breathe the same air as General Stone. Normally you’d
be kept miles away. Today, you’re granted
his divine presence. Is that not worth kneeling for? General Stone, Lu Yu meant no disrespect. Lu Yu, kneel now! This isn’t the time for pride. Lu Yu, I’ve given you
countless chances. You squandered them all. This fate is your own making. Pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Su Yanran, I’ve tolerated
much for past affections, but no more. This doesn’t mean you can keep taking advantage
of my kindness. If status truly
determines posture, as you claim, then hear this: As the Dragon King’s only adopted prince of Daxia, why don’t you all kowtow to me? Luyu Are you out of your mind? At this critical juncture, you still claim to
be the Dragon King’s heir? Do you take us all for fools? Your servant Yu Linger pays respects
to the young master. Long live our noble master! A thousand years of glory! This woman… possesses
extraordinary martial prowess. She’s a grandmaster warrior. No, but… It’s a pity something’s not right here. A martial grandmaster? What’s there to fear? Before this general, she’s insignificant. Luyu, who do you think you are? Everyone present knows your true status all too well. If you were truly
the Dragon King’s son, why haven’t you exercised your privileges
these three years? I, Luyu, need not explain myself to you. Know this, all of you: You have three minutes to kneel in submission. Your precious noble families will face utter annihilation. This madman
act won’t save you. I propose General Shi arrest this
impostor immediately and execute him publicly as a warning to all. The Lin family seconds this. We all concur. Boy, Jiangzhou’s entire nobility is united against you. You’ve truly failed at life. Remember: Dragons don’t
mingle with snakes. These provincial nobles are mere ants in my eyes. Their opinions of me mean nothing. These words… carry some noble bearing. Pity that I happen to know the Dragon King’s
heir vanished years ago. You almost had me fooled. Your time One minute remains. Sixty seconds. Apologies, but your time has just expired. How dare you all! Lord Zhao,
Jiangzhou’s Royal Uncle Uncle You’ve arrived. We welcome Lord Zhao. Today’s my
engagement banquet. Not only is
Jiangzhou’s Governor here, but Lord Zhao
himself honors us. Lu Yu Do you see now? After tonight, I’ll transform these into my personal influence. The Zhou family’s authority Soon, the Dragon King will arrive. Our family’s power will reach its zenith. No one in
Jiangzhou or Xia will challenge our supremacy. This is Zhou Tianqi’s ultimate glory. Our Zhou family has bred a true dragon. Lord Zhao is here. Lu Yu, will you still be stubborn? Lu Yu, let’s leave now. Let’s go. No one leaves today. Since Lord Zhao’s here, you’ll die here. Enough. Since I chose you, I won’t abandon you. Whatever happens today, whatever the outcome, I, Chen Yuning, will stand by you
through life and death. Yuning. Is this worth it? For you, Absolutely. Good. I promise you From this day forward, I’ll make you Xia’s most radiant woman. What were you doing just now? Uncle Today is Young
Master Zhou’s wedding banquet With the Dragon King’s arrival We should host
dignitaries properly and observe proper etiquette But a lowlife crashed the party We’re dealing with him now We humbly request your understanding Removing this
scum from society Our apologies, Master Zhao We’ll resolve this swiftly Indeed Before the Dragon King arrives we’ll remove this trash Restoring peace to the banquet hall You What a show of authority! This junior welcomes Master Zhao So you’re Zhou Tianqi,
marrying Su Yanran? First verifying my status? Seems Zhao
Zhuoran shares motives with General
Shi – currying favor At your service Master Zhao Let’s postpone pleasantries Currently I need to address a pest disrupting
my engagement This man is spineless and incompetent with no ambition After Yanran left him he grew jealous of our family Now he’s disrupting my engagement party Offending all 128 distinguished guests of Jiangzhou He deserves the worst punishment True His actions were witnessed by General Shi Before your arrival we were about to act You dare show such audacity?! Master Zhao What is the meaning of this? Do you know who he truly is? What status? He’s just an ex-con. Could there possibly be some hidden grand identity? All of you, get out! Jiangzhou Zhao Zhuoran pays respects
to Young Master Lu. Young Master Lu How is this possible? Unless… Lu Yu is actually
someone important? A grandmaster serves him, the Governor kneels… This man’s status… must be noble beyond words! Impossible! This must be fake! Rise. Zhao Zhuoran, as Governor of Jiangzhou, you throw quite
the weight around. Your nephew earlier kept ranting about uniting Jiangzhou’s elite to arrest and condemn me. Young Master Lu, forgive us! That insolent fool overstepped his crimes are unforgivable! This subordinate will give you proper justice. Uncle! He’s a master of deception he’s fabricated a VIP’s identity! Even tricked
a martial grandmaster. Don’t believe him! You insolent Silence! Offending Young Master Lu A hundred of
you wouldn’t be enough! Listen well, all of you! I don’t care who you are or what status you hold. Anyone who
offended Young Master Lu kneel down now and kowtow in apology to Young Master Lu! Apologize! Who exactly is he? Young Master Lu… No prominent Lu family exists. Did you not hear my orders clearly? Zhao Zhuoran Are you sure
because this punk Offended the presence All the dignitaries? Yes And how Are you going to rebel? Build your I wait never dare But… We are all upper
class people in Jiangzhou You made
me wait for this gang Cheap people
kowtow to apologize Exonerably A little too much This is the
meaning of your Zhou family Still present Meaning of everyone. Leader of the Emgrand Group Lin Changsheng With Lord Zhou same advance and same retreat Wang Wanli With Lord Zhou same advance and same retreat Good. Good. Good. If so I don’t mind
bloodbath Gangju A new batch of
obedient people come up For self-interest They openly
say such things. Brother Zhao You ‘ve gone too far General Stone This thing You also have a share nice Just now if you come later I went on stage myself. To catch this inscrutable thing Let him kneel for everyone Kowtow and apologize Do you know What are you doing? Then could you know What are you doing? Zhao Zhuoran give you face Call you Jiangzhou Emperor I don’t give you face What are you? There’s a general here I see who you can move Who do you dare to touch Shi Tianxiang Take what you just said Say it again Dragon King Order The Dragon King’s Decree is
bestowed by the Dragon
King himself. It commands the same
authority as his presence. Bearer of this decree may unconditionally command all citizens of Great Xia. But this token loses its
power after one use and will be reclaimed. Zhao Zhuoran, given your status, you’d never
approach the Dragon King. How did you obtain this? My means are irrelevant. What matters is… Will you keep resisting, or follow my order to kneel and apologize to Lord Lu? Zhao Zhuoran, who is he to earn such reverence? You’d use
the Dragon Decree His status transcends
your comprehension. Indeed. Lord Lu’s true position is beyond
your right to inquire. Know only this: Those of your standing should kneel in submission before Lord Lu. I ask again – Will you kneel or not? Your humble
servant Shi Tianxiang bows to Lord Lu. We beg your forgiveness. Ning Shize of House Ning pays respects to Lord Lu. We implore your mercy. Lin Changsheng
of Emperor Group, Wang Wanli of
Jiangzhou Wang Clan, beg your pardon. Forgive us, Master Lu. Spineless cowards! Zhou Tianqi, why don’t you bow? Why should I? Zhao Zhuoran, Don’t think your decree frightens me. Using the
decree against me? Mark my words – when the
Dragon King arrives, we’ll see if you remain so arrogant. The Dragon King’s visit is confirmed. The Zhou family
has earned his favor. His Majesty knows of my wedding and sends betrothal gifts that will arrive shortly. This news has spread
through Jiangzhou. You’re just a servant wielding his token to challenge me? This is utterly absurd! Zhou Tianqi, Your arrogance and pretentious cunning are truly remarkable. Rise, everyone. Thank you,
Young Master Lu. Acting all high and mighty Lu Yu You’re just
riding on Zhao Zhuoran’s respect for
you to act so boldly. Without Zhao
Zhuoran’s influence today, do you think
anyone would follow you? A lowborn, spineless coward! How dare you! Let him continue. Using shady tricks to gain powerful allies’ trust then throwing
your weight around. Rushing here to force all Jiangzhou nobles to kneel before you. Satisfied now? Does this
power trip please you? Look at your smug upstart face scrambling for recognition. It’s utterly revolting. This only reveals your pettiness. Let me make this clear: They obey this insignia, not the man holding it. Without it, you’re nothing. What isn’t earned will be lost. Your rise came through flattery and currying favor with the powerful. That’s your survival tactic I won’t judge it. But Tianqi’s different. Even if you’ve
bested him today, it’s temporary. In three short years, he’s helped expand the Su Family’s influence. His capabilities earned the
Dragon King’s approval. Didn’t your Su Clan thrive because I took the fall for your reckless loans? Three years in prison for your greed! Where was he when you needed a scapegoat? You volunteered! Volunteered? Only because Su Yanran begged tearfully, invoking her
family’s past favors. I couldn’t let their legacy collapse through her mistakes. But in the end My loyalty was to Yanran, not the Su Family! Understand? No. It was Yuning! Still defiant? Fine. Today, I’ll show everyone who’s truly worthy. Behold the dragon
soaring the heavens and the worm crawling in the dirt! The betrothal

VIPs proposing to him? Mr. Lu… Choose me! After marriage… I’ll earn the money you just enjoy life Mr. Lu… Pick me! I’m fitness-trained
with great curves perfect hourglass figure and exceptional flexibility Mr. Lu… Select me! Whatever type of woman you like… I can perfectly embody it to satisfy your conquest desires Fiancées… Three of them?! Lu Yu… What’s going on? Uh… right… Wait, what? Three fiancées?! Why wasn’t I informed? When the master heard that some… shortsighted woman
broke off the engagement he was furious and chose
three brides for you Mr. Lu… If you don’t choose me… is it because Yun Xi… isn’t sexy enough? Mr. Lu… Or perhaps… I lack charm? Mr. Lu… Is it… Sophie not cute enough? Cute… Lu Yu… Who will you choose? Enough! He claims to be… the Dragon King’s son and you believe him? What do you mean? Don’t tell me you’re… You guessed right I am the
Dragon King’s heir! Son You What nonsense
are you spouting? Have you no
father of your own? How dare you claim
another’s father? Could it be… I… The Dragon
King cuckolded me? Let me think… Do you think why the Dragon King himself would arrange my marriage? Do you think why the Dragon King would come to Jiangzhou? Though I’m not his blood son, he treats me as his own. Of course, it’s because I’m exceptional enough to earn his favor. Your ‘excellence’? Exactly. As everyone knows, the Dragon King has no heir and is middle-aged. Naturally he seeks someone to inherit his legacy. At this critical moment, I, the most outstanding, rose above all others and won his approval. Though not his biological son, he regards me as such. Today, you all of you who’ve mocked
and humiliated me, belittled and scorned me… Every slight will be remembered. When the
Dragon King arrives, accounts will be settled. Settled completely. Gifts from the Dragon King! The Dragon
King’s nuptial gifts: A grand bridal sedan, proper ceremonial wedding. 100 feet of silk, 10,000 taels of gold, Plus a phoenix coronet
and embroidered robe, wishing the lady grace befitting royalty. Jade mandarin ducks, symbolizing eternal marital bliss. Luyu The Dragon
King’s gifts are here. Today our Zhou family ascended to greatness. Congratulations,
Young Master Zhou. Zhou Tianqi… Are you certain
these betrothal gifts are given in your name? Of course. Not for me? Would they
be for you instead? Stealing my
betrothal gifts was bad enough, but now you’re even stealing
someone’s father? Su Yanran, is this the so-called outstanding young
man you chose? Hmph! The Dragon King
sent these betrothal gifts for my son
to marry Director Su. This matter has shaken all of Jiangzhou. Everyone knows it. These gifts are clearly meant for my son. Lu Yu, Stop living in your self-righteous delusions. Your fantasy needs to end. You keep claiming this is But your so-called ‘betrothal gifts’ Very well. Today I’ll witness how you plan to
take these gifts away. You won’t stop
until you’re utterly defeated. Yanran, Let me put this wedding veil
and gown on you. Wait! There’s something— These betrothal gifts are not for me to touch. The Dragon King
sent these for me. I shouldn’t touch them. For you? When did the
Dragon King say these were meant for you? This matter is known
throughout Jiangzhou. Every soul knows it. Tonight, I will marry Yanran here. The Dragon
King’s betrothal gifts If these aren’t for me, who else could they be for? The Dragon King said they’re for his son. Zhou Tianqi, You don’t even know who your real father is. Are you certain these gifts aren’t meant for me? Let me warn you double-check carefully. Don’t ruin everything. The Dragon King
will have your head. What nonsense! You dare lecture me? Young Master, The betrothal
gifts have arrived. Are they to your liking? Lu Yu His betrothal gift Young Master Lu Yu Could it be… he’s truly the
Dragon King’s son? Lu Yu The Dragon King’s
aides call you Young Master So this means you’re the real
protagonist today Years ago I was hunted down and nearly
died on the streets You saved me that day Don’t worry From now on I’ll repay your
kindness properly The gift is nice but there’s too many flies Too noisy Yes, Young Master This old servant will drive these pests away Zhao Zhuoran What are you waiting for? Didn’t hear
Young Master’s order? Remove these troublemakers from the venue immediately Young Zhou After you Zhao Zhuoran You dare to expel me? If you stay I won’t hold back How laughable Can’t you
see through his act? All of you have been deceived What? The Dragon King’s heir holds supreme status Would he appear here? in such public display? Consider this The Dragon King
was betrayed before losing his family Now after finally finding his son would he repeat past mistakes? Exposing his heir to public scrutiny? Lu Yu Is your vanity
worth this charade? The truth is clear If I were the Dragon King having found my long-lost son I’d protect him fiercely from further harm Lu Yu Don’t think bribing the Dragon King’s aides lets you manipulate us all like puppets You’re delusional And you colluding with Lu Yu to deceive me Your actions today When the Dragon King arrives I’ll report everything Who’ll you report? The Great Xia
Dragon King arrives! Greetings, Dragon King. Rise, all of you. Let me ask again Who would dare accuse the Dragon King? I accuse this man of conspiring with outsiders to impersonate your son. Deceiving Jiangzhou’s elite. His crimes are unforgivable. You claim that he impersonated my son? Dragon King! He’s the impostor! Silence! How dare you slander my son’s honor here? My son… So many
years have passed. You’ve grown now. Back then… I failed you as a father. Forced you into exile at such a young age. Deprived
of your true identity. I owe you an apology. Starting today, I will make it
up to you properly. Who is Su Yanran? Presenting
herself before you. So you’re the one who claimed my son was beneath you? Demanding to
break the engagement! Dragon King, I— I didn’t know
his true identity! Are you saying that now that you know you’ll keep the engagement? Shallow opportunism! Social climbing! Scheming intentions! Hiding behind flimsy excuses to justify your— hypocritical actions. Pathetic self-delusion. People like you rarely meet a good end. Your wisdom humbles me. Hypocrite. My dear son, Among all the ladies present here today— Do any catch your eye? If not, I’ll announce nationwide to select consorts for you. We’ll find worthy candidates. Lu Yu You should
stop fooling around. Let the girl live
her life in peace. Besides, I already have
someone in my heart. That little girl I’ve heard about her story. She’s truly a genuine and kind soul. Dragon King Dragon King The Chen family
patriarch from Shangjing wants to meet you. What status
does the Chen family have But since
they’re my son’s in-laws, we should meet them. Brat! I’ll take my leave now. Father… Spread rumors that I’m meeting VIPs in Shangjing. This will dete
r unwanted visitors. Understood. Impossible! This can’t be happening! Nothing’s impossible. This is the choice you’ve made. I told you before The Su family’s
betrothal gifts came
from the Dragon King. The Dragon King came to Jiangzhou specifically for me. I also warned the Zhou family is beneath me. With one word I can make them bow down. Now Do you believe me now? Young Lord Today’s incident was our mistake. We beg your mercy. Young Lord In your eyes, is power all that matters? Enough! You keep humiliating me in public repeatedly. Does this please you? You still don’t understand. Just call me Lu Yu, and today’s matter will be forgiven. But you only care about my status and title. Never the person beneath. Lu Yu Luyu Let’s put today’s affairs behind us for good. From this day forward, the Su family and I will have no further ties. Cousin,
are you unharmed? Get away! Your false
concern isn’t wanted. Chen Yuning, you’ve known Luyu’s true identity
all along, haven’t you? I’ve noticed you constantly take his side. That’s not true! Still making excuses? Cousin, I love Luyu simply for who he is – not for any external circumstances. Whether he’s
the Dragon King’s heir or that vagabond I saved years ago, my feelings
remain unchanged. Do you understand this? You’re now the
Young Prince’s wife, future royalty who gets to lecture her inferiors. Cousin, Must we measure people solely by their social status? Is this your
noble society’s way I’ll never comprehend it. Our Zhou family has offended the Young Prince?! Impossible! He was just… How could this be? The Dragon Court is calling! They’re coming to punish our family. Didn’t he say when he left… that we should
let this matter rest? Today’s incident will soon spread throughout the entire Jiangzhou region. Even if the Young
Prince doesn’t care, those sycophants— they’ll try to
curry favor with him and will certainly destroy our Zhou family. Lu Yu, you’ve
got some nerve! Two-faced and deceitful this is how you play us? Lu Yu wouldn’t do such things. Hey! What now? Ah! Fine, fine! I understand now. Father… What’s wrong? We’ve all been… fooled by that
good-for-nothing! What?! I just got a call
from Dragon King’s Court. They informed me… The Dragon King
is hosting VIPs in the capital. They explicitly warned us No disturbances
allowed these days, to avoid… disturbing the honored guests. Are you suggesting… that Dragon King
was an impostor?! Hmph! That so-called Dragon King was clearly fake. It must be… Lu Yu’s scheme he hired a lookalike! How dare you, Lu Yu! to impersonate
the Dragon King?! But today… with all Jiangzhou’s
elite present how could he dare pull this stunt in public? Aren’t you afraid… this might reach the
real Dragon King? If our Zhou family and
Jiangzhou’s elite face severe punishment when word spreads, it’ll cause a huge scandal! Yet he… not only escaped punishment we all lost face, but would he publicly admit to offending… the Dragon King’s heir? Never! He’ll bury this secret deep. Ironically, his
impersonation today we’re the
ones covering it up! I’ll tell you what We put this Lu Yu Offend so He let us off lightly It turned out to be
afraid of things to make a big deal. Also euphemistically said Read old feelings Good calculation Do you think too much He is not such a person You think about it If you are the son
of the Dragon King So many people
humiliated you today Would you let
them go so easily? That doesn’t exactly mean Lu Yu is a heavy
feeling heavy righteousness Good man? Rain Ning You are really
brainwashed by Lu Yu Cousin Why don’t you just refuse I believe Lu Yu Because the facts are there. Tianqi That’s a good point. This Lu Yu Must be Is to the smile Still dissatisfied Afraid of leaving
after the ah ah Down and out Unable to get Only bold Dare to invite people
to pretend to be the Dragon King and In full view He robbed the bride
price that belonged to Yan ran. This batch of dowry
is worth a lot of money Enough for him to
spend the rest of his life Lu Yu I can’t believe
you’re such a person. I really see through you Smile Don’t worry My father is the master
of the Dragon King Hall. He can’t run away After all, he
and I have grace If you catch him Please keep him alive. Smile You Is the heart is too soft Old Chen… What’s the urgent matter
you needed to see me about? Dragon King,
you may not be aware The Chen family
has suffered recent turmoil The main lineage’s
infighting over leadership has caused heavy casualties Our vitality is
severely weakened Sigh… With no other choice the family leadership position must be selected
from collateral branches But collateral branch leadership might embolden
those coveting our family to act more brazenly Therefore I humbly request the Dragon King to serve as witness for the Chen family succession ceremony Hah! All this talk boils down to using my authority as a shield to protect your family, eh? Heh… My shallow schemes could never escape
your discernment As for me… It’s not that I refuse but official duties
keep me occupied Dragon King! Young Lord Lu has arrived Oh? Send him in Old Chen Though I cannot attend my son Lu Yu can assist you instead This… I humbly thank the Dragon King and Young Lord Lu Enough No need for formalities Return and make preparations Hmm I take my leave Yu’er Sit Between father and son no need for formality Truly… You take
after your mother Pity she’ll never see
the man you’ve become Those treacherous ministers While I defended the nation targeted you
and your mother But take heart This vengeance will soon be fulfilled And those conspirators won’t cause further trouble But to ensure absolute security your identity must remain
concealed a while longer When I’ve
crushed them to dust I, your father will host your
recognition banquet The entire Xia Empire across all nine provinces shall know you’re the true
son of the Dragon King Mr. Chen The Chen
family in Beijing called They want you to
bring the family heirloom to the Chen family council hall to run for the next family head Huh? It’s okay, take your time. What’s going on? It’s the Chen family patriarch He called to say this family head position requires the family
heirloom to qualify But the final selection will be decided
by the family witnesses. My parents’ deaths remain a mystery. If I become family head I might uncover the truth. But the selection process isn’t decided by the patriarch but by the witnesses. Strange. Who could they be? I’ll retrieve the heirloom. Yanran Have you heard the news? The Chens
are electing a new head. What’s that to us? Hey! It matters more than you think. Your cousin is from the
Beijing Chens, right? She’s just collateral line not eligible for succession. Yanran Times have changed. The patriarch announced any Chen with the heirloom even collateral members can join the election. You mean… Yanran Yuning’s family heirloom is that jade pendant Besides, Yuning hasn’t returned
o the Chen family for years No one even
cares about it now Why don’t we pull a bait-and-switch? Once you
obtain the heirloom enter the council chamber and claim the
Chen family leadership… Zhou Su Yanran may be flawed but I won’t stoop to such deceit Yanran This is the capital’s Chen family with five consecutive
cabinet appointments wield immense political power and hold the highest offices When you
control the Chen family you’ll finally have a platform
for your ambitions Tianqi speaks wisdom The Chen family’s
century-old legacy has deep-rooted influence With their foundation you could not just dominate Jiangzhou but rule all of Great Xia It’s within your grasp! No What I desire I’ll achieve through
my own merits No need for shortcuts Yanran I know you’re ambitious but this scheme also protects Yuning Consider this Yuning’s business sense is clouded by Lu Yu’s lies Soon she’ll lose everything Do you want to watch that fool Yuning ruin the Chen family? Then she’ll hand over all privileges to that scoundrel Lu Yu! Ah! Exactly This vast empire entrusted to Yuning will be squandered by that bastard Lu Yu True If you lead the Chen family it’s not just for you but for Yuning’s sake too Right? Fine I’ll temporarily borrow the Chen family title When I eventually reach the pinnacle and stand above all I’ll compensate
Yuning properly and ensure her
peaceful retirement Yanran That’s a relief. But how can you be sure that I’ll stand out? To claim the Chen
Family Head position? Hey, on this matter, you needn’t worry. The Chen steward and I are sworn brothers. He can offer some… flexibility. However, today the Chen Family Head invited the key witness of the succession ceremony. Only he can decide who becomes
the next Family Head. Rumor says he has close ties with the Dragon King’s Court. Yanran, think carefully— With my Zhou family’s
dragon connections, that witness will surely show us respect. When you ascend as Family Head, it’ll be as easy as pie. You’ll command the Chens and the Su family, backed by my Zhou clan and the Dragon King’s might. Soon, you’ll rise to greatness under everyone’s gaze. When that day comes, and you claim your throne, we’ll toast together. But let’s save celebrations for after our victory. No time to waste— let’s hurry back to retrieve the Chen heirloom. Enjoy playing the ice queen? Just wait till I take control. We’ll see that act crumble. Steward Zhao, how dare you block me? Miss Chen, you know the matriarch’s health is failing. We’re renovating her quarters into a recovery suite. for convalescence. Your presence here risks her safety. Not a single noise— this isn’t renovation! Besides, I’ll just grab
something quickly. Miss Chen, I’m just a servant. Don’t make this hard. Cousin, why are you here? This doesn’t concern you. Leave. Now. Why steal our Chen
Dragon-Phoenix Pendant? Why are you taking the Chen
family’s Fish-Dragon Pendant? Zhou Tianqi What do you mean by this? Yuning The Chen family
leadership election You shouldn’t attend. Yanran and I
will go in your place. What are you scheming? Trying to seize the
Chen family leadership? Yuning You’re still young. You lack the
capability and vision. Even if you inherited the position of family head, you couldn’t
protect our assets. As your cousin, I can’t watch you fall prey to those vultures. The family leadership should be
temporarily mine. Let’s be clear You’re just coveting my position as family head. Su Yanran When did you become so shameless? Forced takeover, yet you spin it as kindness! I, Su Yanran,
promise you this: What you lose today, I’ll repay tenfold when I succeed. Consider
this fair compensation. A billion in assets? How’s that? The Chen family
in Shanghai earns a billion in just two years. How’s that? Tenfold compensation? How can you say
that with a straight face? I said this is
for your own good. Since you
reject my kindness, there’s
nothing more to say. My efforts… You’ll understand someday. Su Yanran I never thought
you’d stoop this low. Lu Yu was blind to go to prison
for someone like you. Three years wasted! Ha! You defend that fraudulent
good-for-nothing? Yuning You’ve proven
yourself unworthy of leading the
ShangJin Chen family. You’re unfit. You dare hit me? What are you doing? Thinking of fighting back? Ah! Forget it. We still need to buy gifts to give to Patriarch
Chen and witnesses. No need
to waste time here. My good intentions She’ll understand someday. Let’s go. What now? Can’t
enter Chen’s council hall. How can we
compete for patriarch? Or investigate
my parents’ deaths? Young Master,
my investigation shows Chen Yuning is
from the Chen branch family. She qualifies for
the succession contest. She seems
genuinely interested. She’s retrieving
the family heirloom. Since Yuning desires this, I’ll lend her my support. Let’s pick up Yuning and head to Chen council hall. Young Master, the
dragon-engraved card was prepared
by Patriarch Chen. It symbolizes your honored seat at this banquet. The cyan hawk
card on your right is reserved for elite families as exclusive invitations. It’s just a succession contest, yet they make
such a spectacle? Aren’t they
fearing external threats? Move out. Yuning. Who’s bothering you? Why didn’t you run? What are you doing here? Why would I run? You pretended
to be the Dragon King,
never left Shanghai. The Dragon King
you summoned was fake. Who said that?
My father clearly Let’s not talk about this. What’s wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? My family heirloom… Zhou Tianqi
and Su Yanran stole it. They’ll replace me
at the Chen family council. To claim the
family head position. Taking your place? Who gave them the right? To take what isn’t theirs? And dare to usurp
your rightful position! It’s okay, Yuning. Even without the heirloom, I can still get you into
the Chen family council. Help you claim
the family leadership. Are you delirious? Look, it’s real. The invitation. I’m not lying. This is genuine. How did you get this? Tell me the truth. In these three years— While in prison, Did someone recruit you for secret missions? Then got chosen
by the Dragon King’s Hall? Oh. But you’re just a low-level
Dragon Hall lackey. Impersonating the
Dragon King’s heir is treason! Not to mention you brought
a fake Dragon King. Never do this again. Understood? Okay. I’ll take this then. But don’t come with me. If Zhou Tianqi sees you, it’ll cause trouble. No way. I’m coming. Don’t worry I’ll stay
quiet by your side. No complications. Fine. But if anyone dares to provoke us don’t blame me. Okay, okay. Understood. Young Master The Dragon King
has summoned me. I must attend
to this immediately. You go. Rain and
I can handle things here. No need to worry
about your safety. Besides me, there are
numerous shadow guards protecting
you at all times. If any pests bother you at the banquet, seek Patriarch
Chen for assistance. I’ll contact him shortly. Fine. Let’s go. Well, well. If it isn’t Miss Chen Yuning. Shouldn’t you be managing
your failing company instead of embarrassing
yourself here? At least I built my own successful business. Chen Li, what do you have I have connections! Ning Ling, the Ning
Family’s favored son, Ning Ling His uncle is Emperor Zhao
Zhuoran of Jiangzhou. Oh, and let’s not forget his godfather War God Lieyang of
the Dragon King’s court. In Jiangzhou, his word is law. Setting that aside, just this fact alone Can you compete with that? Dare to covet the Chen
Family leadership? Know your place! Comparing men? Amusing. Do you even
know who I am? Didn’t you promise
not to stir up trouble? You’re my husband. Do you know him? Jiangzhou has a population of 23.8 million. Should I know every Tom, Dick, and Harry in this city? Hmph, Lili. This trash
whose entire outfit costs less than ¥500 should be thrown out. Before they disturb our distinguished witness later. Honey, what’s the identity of this esteemed witness? You’ve mentioned them five or six times already. Too many ears here. Darling, Let them hear. They’ll be kicked out soon anyway. No harm done. Just tell me, please? That witness I don’t know specifics, but Elder Chen said he’s close
to the Dragon Lord. The inner circle kind. Closer than
the War Gods? Closer than the War Gods? My godfather said if he met this witness, he’d kneel in respect. Heavens! If we could gain this witness’s favor, it’d be worth dying for. Damn, what nonsense! They’d never notice you. Well said. I do despise her – mediocre looks flaunting herself. You mutt! How
dare you insult me? Not only that, you even dared to offend our
distinguished witness! With your shameless,
pathetic appearance, Do you even realize the gap between you and them? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson: You can eat carelessly, but think before you speak! Enough! This ends now. I won’t compete for
the family head position. Honestly, you… Wait! Trying to escape now? Did you ask us first? Husband! This trash insulted others, and even
tried to impersonate that important figure! A lowlife who follows Chen Yuning’s
every move like a lapdog! If we don’t teach
him a lesson today, he’ll walk out that door and brag about this as some twisted achievement! Thinking we won’t touch him? Hmph, you’re delusional. But Stop using your pig-headed brain to guess my intentions. You’re not worthy! You! Chen Li, calm down! I said I’m done with
this family head race. Can’t you understand words? Let’s go. Husband! Trying to leave? You think you can escape? You dare?! Cousin Why are you stopping me? If I hadn’t intervened you’d have doomed
the Ning Family! What nonsense is this? Are you implying these two have some royal status? Preposterous! Exactly, cousin! These two One’s a distant relative whose parents
died ages ago. He mooched
off the Su family and now all he’s got is a failing company. As for this one dressed like a beggar speaking without restraint He insulted me,
your sister-in-law and even pretends to be that VIP! He deserves death! You insolent fool! Silence! Kneel and apologize now! Never! Ning Shize I respect our patriarch as head of the Ning family hence calling you cousin. But without that respect you’re nothing! Don’t push your luck. Know your place! This trash isn’t even worthy to shine my shoes! Apologize to him? Never! You disrespectful wretches! Do you know
who Master Lu is? Even my uncle,
the Jiangzhou Emperor kneels before him! Now tell me is he worthy of your apology? Impossible! Cousin, you must be mistaking him
for someone else! I said KNEEL! Lu Yu! How dare
you show up here? Are you courting death? You truly fear no death? You’re audacious How dare you
show yourself here? This is the Chen
Family Council Hall. You think you can waltz in? But I can’t step foot here? Still acting delusional? Do you even
realize what you’ve done? Have you no shame? Pretending to be
the Dragon King’s heir Colluding with outsiders Stole the Dragon
King’s bridal gifts for Yanran. In all of Jiangzhou there’s no place for you now. Be smart. Hand over the
Dragon King’s tribute. Or else I’ll end you here! Zhou Tianqi! How dare your mere words declare Lu Yu an impostor? How dare you
question his lineage? You’re truly a fool. Pathetically naive. Dancing to
this fraud’s tune. Earlier today My father
confirmed with his associates They swore to me The Dragon King’s in Beijing. Never set foot in Jiangzhou! His true heir
remains undiscovered. So tell me Was that even
the real Dragon King? Is Lu Yu truly his descendant? Your father’s lackeys What authority do they have? To track the
Dragon King’s movements? To challenge
my royal bloodline? Even now you spout nonsense! Impersonating royalty Stealing sacred offerings Hiring a fake Dragon King You’ve committed
unforgivable crimes. When I report
this to the Court Nine lives won’t save you. Then why don’t you
report me immediately? Go tell the Dragon King Let’s see if his ‘heir’ is genuine! I will report it. But before that, there’s something more important. As for you, I’ll deal with you later. You want Su Yanran to lead the Chen family? Unfortunately, with me here today, only one person
can become the head. That’s Yu Ning. We agreed
not to cause trouble. Why are you
escalating things? Don’t worry. Even as a lowly member
of Dragon King’s Sanctuary, I have my capabilities. How shameless! You’re a laughingstock. Young Master
Zhou has exposed your hypocrisy. How dare you
keep barking here! Exactly. Look at your pretentious act. Do you think mere words can make Chen Yu Ning the family head? Correct. To make Yu Ning the head, I just need to speak. Enough! Lu Yu, stop your arrogance. Let me tell you, Today’s guests
aren’t just the Chen family. There’s also an Esteemed Master of
Jade Leaf and Golden Branch. He alone decides the
Chen family’s leadership. I’ve also learned he has deep ties with
Dragon King’s Sanctuary. Therefore, with Zhou family and
Dragon King’s support, tell me, all you present Chen family members, who’s more
qualified than Yanran to lead this family? With Young Master Zhou here, Miss Su will
naturally take charge. Do you know
who the witness is? Don’t tell me you’re claiming
to be the witness? Good guess. I am indeed the witness. The position
of Chen family head belongs only to Yu Ning. None of you are worthy. Utter nonsense! Lu Yu, your
constant bragging is utterly ridiculous! Su Yanran, drop the act. You’re the last
person to judge Lu Yu. Return the
jade pendant now! Now that you mention it… Since Yanran
holds the pendant, I should question you two! How did you
crash without invitations? No wonder when I saw them earlier, they looked suspicious. They must
have sneaked in! Exactly! This shameless couple Failed to steal
the family heirloom, so they sabotage the succession! Trespassing here to disrupt
the family election! You deserve death! Lu Yu! Hear this! You’ve committed grave crimes! Here’s your chance: Kneel and apologize! Beg for mercy! Return the
Dragon King’s Tribute! Then I’ll spare your life. Well? Zhou Tianqi! Do you know
who you’re addressing? Mr. Lu comes and goes as he pleases! No invitation needed! Who needs formalities? Ning Shize! You’re supposed to be the Ning family’s pride! Where’s your brain? Young Master
Zhou was clear! He’s just a charlatan! Do you think he deserves an invitation? A fraud like him spouting nonsense! worthy of the Chen family? Are you certain Absolutely! The Chen family’s status is beyond measure! Only elite nobility of highest standing could receive invitations! You? Never! Azure Eagle Invitation The Chen family issues
two types of invitations. The basic one is the
Yellow Sparrow Invitation. Only century-old
families receive these. The superior tier is
the Azure Eagle Invitation. Only clans over 300 years old may even glimpse it. How could he possibly have one?! Is this invitation
truly so significant? Open your blind
eyes and look closely! With Mr. Lu’s status how dare you slander him! Lu Yu, do you truly oppose me? I declare only one person deserves
Chen family leadership today. Yuning. You fail to understand my ascension
as family head is what’s best for Yuning and the Chen family. Yuning grew
up with the Su family. What advantage
does she have over me? Under my leadership the Chen family
will regain its glory. She will only
accelerate our decline into oblivion. Su Yanran, Don’t flatter yourself. Do you think I
can’t surpass you? I’ve always
held back for you. Since childhood whenever I
outperformed you you’d rally others to isolate me and ostracize me. Have you forgotten? I never did such things. If I did it was for your own good. You’re beyond redemption. Enough! Yanran, It’s just an
Azure Eagle Invitation. Let’s not lose composure. Besides even if it looks authentic who can
verify its contents? Young Master Zhou is right. This Azure Eagle Invitation might just be a fake he
prepared in advance. You claim it’s fake?
Where’s your proof? Evidence?
That’s easily settled. Summon Steward Chen
to verify its authenticity. If this invitation
proves counterfeit, Lu Yu, you’ll
pay with your life. I came here today at Patriarch
Chen’s personal invitation. This invitation
bears his official seal. Who do you think you are to question its validity? Lu Yu, you won’t relent
until death’s at your door. Still putting on this charade? Are you
claiming to be the VIP I need no pretense – my status speaks for itself. Fine. I intended to
show you mercy. Reveal the location of the Dragon King’s Gift, and I’ll ask Steward
Chen to make it quick. Spare yourself the torture. But since you refuse reason, don’t blame me
for what comes next. Lu Yu, I never imagined three years in prison would corrupt
you so completely. No respect for authority, defying your betters, empty posturing, reckless tongue – Apologize now, and we can still fix this. Should I apologize? Or what? Every single incident – you claim they’re all my fault? Ruined my engagement,
stormed Chen Hall, disrupted the succession – Kneel and submit now, surrender the
Dragon King’s Gift, and you might survive this. I’m doing this
for your own good. Don’t throw your life away. You want my submission? You’re not worthy. Is Zhou Tianqi worthy either? As for my life I stand here now. If you dare, come take it. Well done. Impressive. Today I’ll witness whether your mouth is as tough
as your bones. Steward Chen! We have an intruder who forged a Cang
Qing Eagle Pass. This is a grave offense. Very well.
Escort him here. Lu Yu, surrender now. Your martial arts grandmaster has abandoned you. Do you expect
to leave alive today? Her departure is none of your concern. And you have no
right to judge my fate. No right? Then who does? Stop pretending! Let me tell you— your precious grandmaster saw through your facade. She cast you
aside like a stray dog. Do you think anyone here will save you today? Who dares forge
the Cang Qing Eagle Pass? Steward Chen, it’s this trash— He forged the Eagle Pass to infiltrate the council. He’s an arrogant fool posing as the distinguished witness. He disrupted the
Chen family assembly and interfered with the succession ceremony. How dare he act so brazenly? Steward Chen,
you should know This scum is audacious. Recently, at my engagement
with the Su family, he impersonated
the Dragon King’s heir and stole the betrothal gifts intended for them. Now he’s forged
the Eagle Pass to infiltrate your council. He aims to sabotage This vile snake is capable of anything. How dare someone
be so audacious! Why provoke our
Chen Family of all people? Why target our
family specifically? Forging a Skyhawk Decree is a grave crime already. With a VIP arriving soon, this place must maintain
absolute perfection. Guards! Break his legs and throw him out! Lu Yu, there’s
no escape for you. You’re trapped now. Kneel and apologize now, reveal the Dragon
King’s tribute location, and I might spare your life. Let’s see who here dares touch me! Lu Yu, stop this madness. Must you court destruction? persist till the end? It’s not madness, but your
arrogance blinds you. You overreach yourselves! Defiant till the bitter end? Steward Chen,
why hesitate? Break his legs at once! I want to see him kneel and lose that arrogance! Do it! Steward Chen,
this Skyhawk Decree You didn’t even inspect it yet declared it fake? Zhou Pohu,
head of the Zhou Family, is my sworn brother. His son Zhou Tianqi
excels beyond peers. Why would he deceive me? Seize them! Fake! Even if that
Skyhawk Decree was forged, what about this one? This golden
dragon-engraved decree can this be fake too?! What kind of junk is this? Lu Yu, don’t think that flashing some fancy dragon-engraved invitation will intimidate me! Everyone here present is worldly and experienced. Why have I never heard of Shangjing Chen’s Dragon Seal? Your ignorance
doesn’t negate its existence. Perhaps you’re just narrow-minded and lack discernment. Narrow-minded?! Lack discernment?! My status eclipses yours by miles! Tear that invitation, and I’ll make you regret it. Lu Yu, stop this nonsense! If you want to die, fine. Don’t drag Yuning down! There’s no
dragging down’ here. Lu Yu is my man. I’ll stand by
him unconditionally. Even if it
means dying together, I, Chen Yuning, embrace it. Yuning, I’m doing this for you. Don’t be impulsive! Cousin… Someone like you,
obsessed with wealth and power… could never
understand true love. You’re such a
hopeless romantic. Wait… This is… Exactly. The Golden Dragon Edict. The family
patriarch specially prepared
this for witnesses. The Golden Dragon Edict symbolizes the
most honored guest at this banquet. How is this possible? I warned you before. Mr. Lu’s status
goes far beyond your wildest imagination. Now you understand? Kneel and apologize now! The forgery looks convincing. The more real
it looks, the faker it seems. Young Master Zhou,
what do you mean? Steward Chen,
think carefully. The Chen Family has
ruled the capital for centuries. Everyone at this banquet is from the elite circles. Lu Yu’s just a commoner. How dare he
stand above them? What qualifications does he have to witness the Chen
Family succession? Young Master Zhou is right. This trash even dared to fake the
Azure Eagle Invitation. Forging a Golden
Dragon Invitation isn’t surprising. This invitation bears
the Chen Family seal. If you don’t believe me, open it and see for yourself. How impressive. The Chen Family seal… I’m trembling with fear. Steward Chen, you should
verify this thoroughly. If this troublemaker from my engagement party truly is that VIP, the consequences would be dire. No need to check. The Chen Family
would never issue invitations to
deceitful frauds. The Golden Dragon Invitation He can’t possibly be
that distinguished guest. Oh, you… should verify it properly. A fake will
always be exposed. After all, you’re just a servant of the Chen family. You tore the Chen family’s
golden dragon invitation. Can you bear
the consequences? Steward Chen,
did you hear that? He’s threatening you. Hmph… Ignorant fool. I, Chen Ling, have
served the Chens dutifully for decades as chief steward. Even capital nobles
show me respect unlike your
reckless behavior. This shoddy
counterfeit invitation won’t intimidate me. Who dares
back your impudence? Since you doubt me, I have nothing more to say. When Patriarch Chen arrives, we’ll see how
you explain yourself. Such audacity! Still putting on
airs at this moment? Guards! Break his legs. Let’s see if
you keep boasting when kneeling in the dirt. I’d like to see anyone try! While I’m here, no one touches Mr. Lu. Ning Shize,
I’ve been too lenient. You protect him? Do you oppose the
Zhou and Su families, the Chen family, and the Dragon
King’s Sanctum? Young Master
Zhou, he’s gone mad. Since he’s courting death, let’s oblige him. Ning Shize! I’ll give you one chance. Don’t push me. Your Highness? Hello? I was coming to receive you. You’re already
in the council hall? I’ve been here awhile. It seems someone objects to my presence tonight. Shall I leave? Oh? Who would dare slight you? Steward Chen will
remove them at once. The unwelcoming
party happens to be your Steward Chen. What?! Your Highness! This was his doing alone! I had no part in this. You have three minutes to crawl
here and explain. Delay one
second, and the Chens fall. Quick! To the council hall! Lu Yu, you’re
quite the actor. Don’t tell me that phone call just now was from the
Chen Family head? That’s the truth. Ridiculous! Do you think you can fool Ning Shize and simpletons
like Chen Yuning, but actually deceive us? Do you really
think that’s possible? It’s just three minutes. Why not wait a moment to see the truth? You insolent fool! How dare a
worthless wretch like you disrespect the former Chen patriarch! Three more minutes? You don’t deserve it! Enough! I relinquish the
family leadership. Take it. Let’s go. Move. Do you think
the Chen family hall is some kind of public restroom? You can’t just waltz in and out as you please! What’s wrong? Scared and trying to flee? Let me make this clear – Without that
martial arts master backing you up, you’re all just insects beneath my feet! I could crush
you whenever I choose! Hear that, Ning Shize? Even now, you still stubbornly follow this useless impostor? Mr. Lu’s true status is beyond
your comprehension. I advise you to stop now before it’s too late. Or else? What’ll you do? Ning Shize, you’re utterly blind! Can’t see the truth when following this fraud! Seems the
Ning family leadership should be mine now. You’re beyond redemption! What are you waiting for? Break their legs! Chen Ling,
you’ve got some nerve! Patriarch Why did you
return alone in such haste? Weren’t you
supposed to greet the distinguished guest? How could
I not rush back? Chen Ling, you’ve
stirred up a storm! This ‘distinguished guest’ Hmph. is standing
right before your eyes. Patriarch There’s no dignitary here, only an insolent fool who dares cause trouble. He used forged
Azure Eagle invitations and Dragon Seal documents to disrupt the council hall. I was about to break his legs as a warning to others. Silence! Chen Qian, 38th Patriarch
of Shangjing Chen Clan, welcomes Witness Lu to the Chen
Clan Council Hall. We honor your
presence, Master Lu. Impossible! He’s truly the Witness? No formalities
needed, Patriarch Chen. Today’s incident was my failure to
discipline subordinates. I beg your
punishment, Master Lu. Don’t say that. Your own steward dared tear up my invitation without hesitation. Oh right, he ordered my arrest earlier and threatened
to break my legs. Tell me, how could I dare punish the Patriarch himself? You can’t achieve anything, but ruin everything. The Chen family
raised you for years, and this is
how you repay them? Master Chen, I didn’t know… Silence! Guards! Break his legs. Drag him out.
From this day on, he’s banned
from the Chen estate. No! Master Chen! Have mercy, Master Chen! Mr. Lu, today’s incident was our Chen
family’s oversight. I take full responsibility. This is the
Chen family token. Please accept it. The Chens will
obey you as they do me. They… It seems even if I stand here without moving a step, you still couldn’t take my life. And you! I remember saying that making me bow is beneath you. Zhou Tianqi
isn’t worthy either. Convinced now? Lu Yu, I don’t know what tricks you’re using today, to deceive Master Chen, but with me here, you won’t succeed. Master Chen,
you must see through this. Lu Yu’s just
using his usual tricks. This Lu Yu always employs
deceitful methods. He’s just an ex-convict fresh out of prison. Enough! Who are you to have the audacity question Mr. Lu’s status? Head of the Chen Family. Zhou Tianqi,
from the Zhou family. My father is one of
the Dragon Lord’s top aides. I’m here with
my fiancée, Su Yiran. We’ve come to the
Chen family council hall to take part in
the Chen family election. As for Lu Yu’s identity… You might not know. But all the
celebrities in Jiangcheng know it well. He’s nothing but a fraud! At my engagement banquet, he impersonated
the Dragon Lord’s son. Insolence! Do you think I don’t
know his background? I don’t need your input. The two of you are blind. Yet you act like
you know everything. And you dare to
dream of leading my family? Hand over your tokens. You’re both disqualified. Hey. Master Chen,
Tianqi speaks the truth. Why won’t you believe it? Yes, Master Chen. Please, don’t
let yourself be fooled. You are a bunch of blind fools! You… Your qualifications are revoked. Master Chen. Aren’t you
taking this a bit too far? Your family is weak now. You need outside
help more than ever. But you’ve
offended the Ning family. Don’t you even
care about the Zhou family under the Dragon
Lord’s protection? Don’t you even care anymore? Since when has
your family been under us? How audacious! To act this way
before Patriarch Chen Still as stubborn as ever, spouting such nonsense claiming to rival the
Dragon King’s Sanctuary This is unforgivable! Enough! Stop your
senseless bickering here. Who says Mr. Lu can’t represent the
Dragon King’s Sanctuary? Patriarch Chen, I don’t know if he’s told you these so-called claims about being
the Dragon King’s heir or similar nonsense. It’s all fabricated. My father has verified This is the Chen
Family Council Hall. I ordered
you to remain silent. Do you not understand? Mr. Lu’s main purpose today is the Chen
family succession matter. I wonder if you’ve considered any suitable candidates
from the branch families? Regarding the family leadership, I do have someone in mind. Only she is worthy
of the position. Me? Am I truly suitable? Come with me. You’re from
the Sixth Branch. If I recall correctly, your name is Chen Yuning. After all these years, you still remember me. Wear it. This ancestral ring has been
passed down for generations. Today, in the
Chen Family Council Hall, Chen Yuning is
declared the 39th Patriarch. Patriarch Chen! This decision
is highly irregular! She lacks
the family heirloom. How can she
claim succession? What right does she
have to wear that ring? Do you dare to defy your own
family’s ancestral laws? Does that truly matter? What if the
heirloom is missing? In this Council Hall, Mr. Lu’s endorsement makes her the rightful heir. Patriarch Chen I don’t know
what this Lu Yu has been feeding
you to cloud your judgment Could he truly be
the Dragon King’s heir? Lu Yu Old fool Chen Neither of you
will survive today My father just
confirmed the news The Dragon King’s
true heir has been found In three days an Ascension Banquet
will be held in Shangjing I’ll personally inform
the Dragon King then about Lu Yu
impersonating his heir and embezzling
the betrothal gifts You won’t die
a peaceful death And you, senile old fool always protecting
this impostor constantly
flattering this fraud I’ll see you all condemned Your Chen family will face complete annihilation Fine! Don’t wait three days Go report to
the Dragon King now I’d love to see how he deals with Mr. Lu and our Chen family Since your clan
insists on courting death In three days Three days from now I’ll grant your every wish Prepare for extermination Yanran Let’s go Lu Yu, you still don’t understand Success
requires genuine effort Hiding behind
someone else’s power might bring
temporary glory but never lasting respect I tried to warn you kindly to spare your life Now it’s too late When three days pass you’ll meet your end Let’s go too. They won’t last
much longer anyway. At the Dragon
Ascension Banquet, We’ll settle today’s
accounts one by one. What you did today I’ll make sure
you’re rewarded. Not at all. Just doing my duty. Mr. Lu. Since Miss Chen’s position
as family head is settled, join me in the inner residence. I’ll take my leave then. Lu Yu, in three days— Will the banquet go smoothly? The true Dragon King’s
heir has been found. Don’t worry. It’s manageable. Why did you
suddenly decide to become the Chen family head? You’ve never
cared about power. I want to uncover the
truth about my parents’ deaths. Their deaths… I’ve heard some things. Really? Hmm. The root cause Your parents cosigned a high-interes
t loan for someone. The borrower defaulted. The debt collectors
ended up killing them. My parents… Who did they vouch for? It’s connected
to your grandmother Madam Su. How is this possible? Grandma never
told me about this. No way! I need to go
back and get answers. I’m coming with you. Patriarch Chen
has taken his leave. Yuning Grand Madame
Su’s been unconscious for about two days now. If you go there now, you won’t learn anything. Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ve studied medicine before. Waking Grand Madame Su will be a piece of cake. Then you and Miss Su can question her directly. Alright, let’s go. Why hasn’t
Mr. Liu arrived yet? Yanran This Mr. Liu coming today is Elder Mo’s disciple. Like my father, Elder Mo is one of Dragon King’s
Court’s Eight Hall Masters. Elder Mo is currently
occupied with official duties, so Mr. Liu will assist us first. I hope this actually works. Relax, Yanran. Grand Madame Su will be fine. When our Zhou
and Su families gather at the Dragon
Ascension Banquet, with the Dragon King’s favor, crushing Lu Yu that ex-convict and his two lackeys trailing behind him will be child’s play. Then the
entire Nine Provinces won’t have any pests bothering us anymore. Luyu What? Waiting for me, gentlemen? What are you doing here? Do I need your
permission to visit? A good dog
doesn’t block the way. This is the Su family’s house. Not your playground. I brought Luyu here. I’m here to see Grandma. Why do you
want to see her? To ask about my parents. Yuning found out. Wait here for Mr. Liu. I’ll go in first. Okay. Now you see. Grandma’s been
unconscious for days. She can’t answer you. I can wake her up. You… All the top
doctors in Jiangzhou couldn’t help Grandma. What makes
you think you can? This isn’t an engagement party. Or the Chen
family’s council hall. Stop pretending, will you? Don’t judge me
with your narrow views. That’s beneath you. Ling’er This is the Su residence. You wouldn’t dare act here. Step aside. Stop compounding
your mistakes. You ranted
recklessly at my engagement. Disrupted the
Chen family council, and now you dare insult us? How dare you
come to our home and disgrace the Su family! At the Ascending
Dragon banquet, you’re leaving yourself no escape route. The Young Master’s fate isn’t yours to decide. Get lost! Stop! So-called martial arts master, playing physician now? Listen clearly: If your treatment harms Madam Su in any way, you’ll pay with your life. Master Liu, Proceed. Enough. Let him try. I merely wish to ask Madam
Su some questions. Who’s this girl daring to use
acupuncture here? Insert that needle, and Madam Su won’t survive. Lu Yu What do you mean? Hiring a woman to sabotage
Mr. Liu’s acupuncture. Do you truly wish
Madam Sun’s death? I thought your twisted
motives were merely self-serving schemes to protect your fragile pride and wounded ego. But this crosses all lines. You’re despicable. Blind fool! Ignorant wretch! She’s not
harming Madam Su but saving her! Who are you to question my medical skills? A mere street physician daring to lecture me? Madam Su suffers from evil wind invasion. Your Jiuyang Needles at Shangxing acupoint will only aggravate the pathogenic energy. It’ll erupt violently Within moments, beyond salvation! You recognize
Jiuyang Needles? Mo Li of Dragon Palace’s Greenwood Hall—who is he You know my master? Not exactly. That mutt grovels at
Young Master’s feet. Learned some tricks during his service. How dare you! My master leads Dragon Palace’s Eight Halls! You’ll pay for this insult! Open your blind eyes! The Young Master will rule Dragon Palace! My armies conquer all before them! Undefeated! To insult Mo Li is to honor him kissing Young Master’s boots is his highest achievement! Bravo! Bravo! I thought you’d finally ditched Lu Yu. Cut him loose. But you’re
crazier than ever! Him Dragon Palace’s heir? You’re hilarious! Mark my words— at Ascension Banquet his head will roll! Hmph! Why waste
words on a dead man? Mr. Liu Please hurry
and save my grandma! Understood. Granny! Granny! She’s not breathing. This… Liu! How… What’s happening? Explain yourself! It’s their fault! The treatment cannot tolerate
any interruption. When I was
applying acupuncture, the vital energy
flow was disrupted. This would
inevitably lead to catastrophe. Lu Yu! If anything
happens to my grandma, you’ll pay for this! Silence! This is your
fault for trusting quacks! How dare you hit me?! You… Lu Yu, can you still
save my grandmother? I need to know the truth about
my parents’ death. Besides, when I was young, she was always kind to me. Is there any way? I’ll try. Get out! Young Master Zhou, Miss Su, Their malice
is unforgivable. Madam Su is
in critical condition, yet they still… Resurrection Grandma, you’re awake! This commotion is unbecoming. Your medical skills No need for shock,
Young Master Zhou. Madam Su’s awakening was within my expectations. Mr. Liu, what are you… Madam Su’s recovery resulted from my
Nine Yang Divine Needles. Mr. Liu does have a point. He only mentioned delays could be catastrophic but never said it’s incurable. Miss Su is correct. Could she be the healer? A fool boasting about commanding armies, and a madman claiming to rule Dragon King Palace. Absurd! Calm yourself, Young Master. These needles merely extend Madam
Su’s life three days. Focus on urgent matters. Grandma, are you better? Yuning, it’s you. Much better, Grandma. You… The person with you is Lu Yu, correct? Why are you with him? Grandma, I… I love Lu Yu. How can you
say such things? Lu Yu just left prison, penniless and obscure. How is he worthy? For our family’s future, you should marry someone like
Young Master Zhou. Grandma, in your eyes am I just a political bargaining chip? Remember this: I raised you myself. You grew up
in the Su family. Now you think
you can defy me? Disobey my orders? Yet you… knew the truth
about my parents’ death and never told me! You feared I’d
escape your control if I learned the truth. Leave the Su family, right? You… Who told you this? Patriarch Chen
himself confessed. My parents
guaranteed your loan. That huge debt, correct? Correct. And you? Never repaid it. So debt collectors came for my parents instead! In the end, they… Exactly! It was me. But I did this for their own good. Your parents were
terrible at business. Using their
company as collateral to secure the loan saved the
Su family’s crisis. I planned to
compensate them handsomely afterward. Who knew… those fools would get
themselves killed? Madam Su! Your methods are utterly inhumane! Impudent brat! How dare
you judge me? A fresh-out-of-prison ex-con like you first lusted after Yanran, now you dare target Yuning too? Know this: My son-in-law must be someone like
Young Master Zhou – noble lineage favored by the Dragon King. What do YOU have? What do I have? What I possess is far beyond
your imagination. But you won’t live to see it. You Grandma, don’t be upset. Lu Yu How long can
you keep pretending? At the Dragon Ascension
Banquet in three days I’ll take your life. Oh… We’ll see about that. Lu Yu, let’s go.
I’m exhausted. Let’s go. Yu Ning Remember your
status in the Su family. Come back when you’ve come to your senses. I’m doing this for your own good. Enough. You’ll get drunk
if you keep drinking. Lu Yu, I’ve lost my home. You still have me. But you’ve never
given me a promise. Lu Yu, will you marry me? I do. Then let’s get registered. Not so fast. I’ll arrange a grand proposal
ceremony for you. We’ll register after that. Really? Have I ever lied to you? Alright. Prince Yes, Ling’er? I plan to propose to Yuning at the Dragon
Ascension Banquet. Make the arrangements. Rest assured, Ling’er wil
l handle everything. Oh right, Ning Shize performed well at Chen
Family Council Hall. Remember to reward him. Understood. Report to North Sea War God: Hall Master
Zhou Pohu sent word. The Dragon King’s
gift was stolen. He requests another gift. Incompetent, yet daring enough. Spread this decree: At the Dragon
Ascension Banquet, Dragon King’s Palace will conduct reorganization. Those who align with the tide will rise higher. Opportunity
awaits the wise. But those who swim against the current shouldn’t complain when consumed
by the tidal wave. This… The Matriarch’s pulse grows stranger by the day. It’s like two days ago again. Master Liu, what’s happening? Try another
acupuncture treatment. This… Well… Let’s wait for
my master’s arrival. He should be here soon. But the Banquet
starts this afternoon. I wanted to
bring Grandmother. Don’t worry. This old body can handle it. We’ll go together later. Great news! Great news! Young Master
Zhou, why so cheerful? Matriarch, you see, At Yanran’s
engagement two days ago, the Dragon
King’s betrothal gift was stolen by
that rascal Lu Yu and his accomplices. But my father has requested another
gift from the Dragon King. The Dragon
King agreed to send Well, not exactly… But the Dragon King declared this Dragon
Ascension Banquet will see proper discipline. Some may soar to great heights, others plunge into hell. You mean… Matriarch, Clearly, this is the
Dragon King’s favor to the Zhou Family. After this Banquet, our Zhou Family will ascend magnificently, boasting twin War Gods as a supreme noble house. Uh… Uh… Uh… Two war gods in one family Our Su family will Don’t worry, my dear I won’t let
the Su family down Lu Yu Tonight I’ll make sure you disappear
without a trace Father Madam Su This is Master Mo,
specially invited for you Master, you’ve arrived Madam Su was revived with
Nine Yang Needles But her pulse feels abnormal Please examine her quickly Get over here! Master Useless apprentice! You’ll be the death of me Did you awaken Madam Su with Nine Yang Needles? These are Nine Yin Needles! Designed to
counter evil energies Hence their extraordinary power Even I have barely
grasped their basics Where’s the
one who did this? Take me to
them immediately! I don’t know where she is She was a woman claimed to command armies With a man beside her They called him ‘Young Master’ She insulted you Said being his dog would honor you How disrespectful! Even North Sea
God of War obeys him Could it be… Quick! Let’s find that Young Master! Brother Mo What’s the meaning of this? You’re acting so jumpy. Before leaving,
you must first cure Madam Su’s illness. Madam Su’s condition can only be
treated by one person —the one who previously performed acupuncture on her. This old man
is powerless to help. Grandmother Could it truly be that Grandmaster
who awakened her? This… No matter. It’s just some minor martial arts master. After the Dragon
Ascension Banquet, our Zhou and Su families will dominate the nine provinces. Then with single command that martial arts master will come crawling to cure Madam Su’s illness. Tianqi speaks wisely. Madam Su Let’s go. Today our Zhou family shall attend this grand feast. Very well. Master Zhou The banquet seating holds deeper significance, no? Of course. Observe: Seats below
the ceremonial stage are reserved for Dragon King and Four War Gods. We Eight Hall Masters and first-tier families are positioned slightly behind. Further back seats are for minor families. I wonder if in this lifetime I’ll ever get to sit at the front table. Madam, you speak too modestly. After Dragon King’s reorganization our Zhou family will soar. When that time comes you’ll be changing seats upward. Lu Yu It’s really him. This trash How audacious! He dares to sit in the Dragon King’s seat with the Four War Gods the seat of honor This seems
like a sacred spot. Can we sit here? Relax. At this Ascension Banquet, sit wherever you wish. You… Luyu You knew today is the Dragon
King’s Ascension Banquet. Yet you came anyway? Do you truly court death? You’re wrong. Today I entered here
openly and honorably. You dare speak of honor? Don’t think
I can’t see through your schemes. You want to
disrupt the banquet and implicate
our Zhou and Su families! Luyu, I know
breaking our engagement crushed you. But why resort to such venomous acts for revenge? Against my Su family? Nonsense! Luyu
would never do that! Silence! You little fool! Have you forgotten
the Su family raised you? What have you done that you’ve forgotten? How dare you
criticize Yuning now! Enough, Luyu. I’m done
wasting words with you. Right now, immediately summon that martial arts
master beside you. Cure Grandma’s illness, surrender the Dragon
King’s betrothal gifts, and leave the Dragon Banquet. Do this, and I’ll spare your life. Since when do
I need your protection? You’re deluding yourself. As for those gifts I’ll say this one last time: They were meant for me. Are you even
worthy of them? Madam Su’s condition… You Pray for mercy. You insolent bastard! Still putting on airs? Don’t you know? The Dragon King
backs my Zhou family. Soon, my father and I
will become War Gods. I’ll elevate the
Su family to supremacy. Obey Yannan’s wishes now, and you might
survive. Otherwise What nonsense is this? You… War Gods?! Are you worthy? Is he?! You Enough, Luyu! I’ve given you chances not to posture like this. Stop wasting time on this trash! Guards! Break their legs! Halt! All hail Master Lu! Get up Get lost now! Ning Shize Don’t you know The Dragon King
is hosting the Ascension
Banquet here today? A mere eldest
son of the Ning family dares obstruct the
Zhou family’s affairs? For today’s Ascension Banquet I’m in charge of security Zhou Tianqi Do I have
authority over you now? So this is your backing? Ning Shize And that worthless Lu Yu was let in by you? Everything
you’ve done today You’re bringing
disaster upon your family! Mr. Lu is an honored
guest of the Ascension Banquet His presence is proper Honored guest Is he worthy? Ning Shize Or did Lu Yu bribe you to protect him like this? How much did he pay you to dare
oppose the Zhou family? Do you know what awaits us after today’s glory? Oh Seems you’re clueless Let me enlighten you The Dragon King will
restore the Dragon Court today The Zhou family has long enjoyed
his favor and trust After today we’ll reign
supreme across the land Now will you keep
shielding this Lu Yu this thief who stole the Dragon
King’s betrothal gifts intended for our family? Go on. I’m listening. Bastard! Do you want to
watch the Ning family be destroyed by your hands? Oh? Then I’d like to see how you’ll
destroy my Ning family. You Ning Shize, you fool! Truly brainless. Dare to defy
Young Master Zhou, and protect this trash? Even if you want to die, don’t drag d
own the Ning family! Ning Ling! At the Chen
family council hall, you offended Mr. Lu gravely. Will you still act recklessly and compound
your errors today? How ironic. Isn’t it you who keeps
making mistakes? I… Exactly. Let me tell you plainly: From my godfather,
War God Lieyang, I learned about the
Dragon King’s Court reforms. At this Ascending
Dragon Banquet, some will rise to prominence, others lose everything. The Zhou family has
the Dragon King’s favor they received
lavish betrothal gifts. Obviously, they’ll soar to new heights. Yet you keep defying
Young Master Zhou, defending this ex-con! Aren’t you determined to walk the path to ruin? Delusional! Utterly foolish. The Zhou family isn’t worthy of any glory. How dare they claim to soar? How dare you! Still running your
mouth before death? Ning Shize Last chance. Spare your life. Still protecting
this worthless trash? What do you think? Very well. Know what this is? The War God
Lieyang’s battle token. This token
represents his authority. Utmost respect is demanded! Where’d you get this?! None of your business. With this token present, kneel and pay respects! Hail the War God Lieyang! What about you two? Kneel now! Hold it! I won’t kneel! What can you do?! What can I do?
Your insolence! Everyone, on your feet! Break his damn legs! Break his damn legs! Let’s see how you mock me from your knees! Some people… You brought this on yourself. Beat him to a pulp! Who dares?! We do! Bastards! How dare you insult Mr. Lu! Mo Li, Green Wood
Hall Leader, reporting. Punish my tardiness, Young Master. Isn’t that the
Divine Doctor Mo? He’s kneeling before Lu Yu? And calling him Young Master? Wretched disciple!
Will you not repent? Yes. Young Master… I Get lost! Yes. Hall Master Mo… Why bow to
this worthless trash? Liu Feng!
Your skills are lacking, your heart is corrupt, and you’ve
broken our sect’s code. Today I’ll take your hand as a warning to all. Master, please no! Enough. Rise now. Thank you, Young Master. Master Mo… What’s the meaning of this? And what’s your excuse? This trash Lu Yu was smuggled in by Ning Shize, ranted at the banquet, and refused
to kneel to the token! We were teaching him respect Why would you bow and call him Young Master? Must I explain myself to you? As for this token… Dare you claim it was given by the Blazing Sun War God? I Of course I dare! My godfather
gave me this token! Turn around and see who’s arrived. Godfather! Hail the Inferno Sun God How dare you
still call me godfather Steal my war
token and strut around Playing tricks Is this how you were
taught to behave daily? Godfather, I was wrong. I didn’t mean to The Ascension
Feast is about to begin I have many
matters to attend to Both of you—
kneel here obediently After the banquet concludes I’ll deal with you then Why are you
all crowding here? No seats available? Lu Yu Today the Inferno Sun God accidentally saved your life But mark my words— If you keep
sitting in this position you’ll only meet your doom Oh? I look forward to that Self-destruction Lu Yu Do you truly believe you can remain this fortunate forever? You shouldn’t have come here nor occupied this seat One final warning Leave this place Take that martial
arts master with you and cure grandmother’s illness I’ll let bygones be bygones Let me be perfectly clear This Ascension Feast is for me This seat was meant for me I’m curious to know what mindset
allows you to utter those ‘bygones’ words You’re being
completely unreasonable. Enough, Yanran. This madman
has completely lost it. Let’s not waste
any more time with him. When the Dragon King arrives… …you’ll regret crossing him. Let’s go. Is that the Kunlun
War God on the left? That’s the Kunlun War God! To the right stands
the Gray Wolf War God. And the one in the center
must be the North Sea War God. She’s stunning! Impossible! The North Sea War God… …isn’t she Lu Yu’s
martial arts mentor? That can’t be! Just a look-alike. That good-for-nothing Lu Yu… …could never know
the North Sea War God. Today… …we celebrate the Dragon
King finding the Young Lord. Hence this Ascending
Dragon Banquet. You’re all aware
of the occasion… …so I’ll keep this brief. Let us welcome the Young Lord! The Young Lord
is about to appear! Keep your eyes peeled! What’s wrong? I need to step away. Who’s that guy? He looks familiar. Connected to both
Zhou and Su families. Why’s that loser standing up? How dare you! This brat Trying to impersonate the
Dragon King’s son again And disrupt the
Ascension Banquet? You’re scheming against us! We must stop him! Lu Yu How could you be so vicious? Can’t stand seeing
Su Yanran succeed? Lu Yu You’re rushing
to your grave! Is that so? Then watch closely! Lu Yu, what’s your game? Don’t tell me You’ll impersonate
the Dragon King’s heir in front of everyone and frame our Su family? You… Must you resort to such despicable acts? Framing your family
as dragon impostors Save your breath. I won’t stoop to such
petty schemes. Now get out of my way. Don’t block my path. Knowing you’re doomed, you’d drag the Su family down with you? Amusing fantasy. Your family accompanying me? They’re not worthy. Move! You… Miss Su, leave. Last warning: Get out now. You’re in no position to order me around. Lu Yu, you chose death. None can save you now. Greenwood Hall
Master of Dragon Court requests the
Young Lord’s presence. Solar Wargod of
Dragon King’s Sanctum All hail the Young Prince! Kunlun Wargod of
Dragon King’s Sanctum All hail the Young Prince! Grey Wolf Wargod
of Dragon King’s Sanctum All hail the Young Prince! North Sea Wargod
of Dragon King’s Sanctum All hail the Young Prince! Welcome the Young Prince! This… Young Prince Your Highness Young Prince Lu Yu is actually
the Young Prince?! Impossible! That’s impossible! Wasn’t the Dragon
King’s son just found? This is all an illusion! Chen Li This is all fake, right? Yes, it’s fake. Are you really
the Young Prince? What else? But you… Why didn’t
you say anything? You could’ve told us! Didn’t I mention it? Would you
have believed me? You only believe
their one-sided story and are
utterly convinced by it Enough! There’s nothing
left between us to discuss Lu Yu Lu Yu, don’t! Don’t do this to me That’s enough! Lu Yu warned you long ago All debts between you are cleared No more entanglements Stop pestering
him, understand? Madam Su Do you still think
I’m just an ex-convict with nothing to my name? It’s over Everything’s ruined Zhou Tianqi Do you still believe
the Dragon King’s tribute was presented in your name? Do you still think your Zhou Family can achieve the legend of two war gods? Our Zhou Family has offended the
Young Prince repeatedly Father Our Zhou
Family is doomed The Zhou Family is finished This is all your doing! Yu Ning Come with me This is it Will you marry me? I do Why? Why?! My heart aches so much It hurts so badly… Today marks
my son’s betrothal, a joyous occasion indeed. Let’s toast to this! Let us drink
together, my friends! To the Dragon King,
and to the Young Prince!
