Using the waterway, Siu Lung escapes to the waterside pavilion and hides in a room. He sees Kam Ching, who looks exactly like Chun Ching and was stunned. Ngai Mau thinks Siu Lung is the most suspicious. Jiu Nga says that he isn't, which leads Sun Ling Gwan to have his doubts about him. He leads a group to the outer rooms to investigate. Sun Ling Gwan goes into Jiu Sin's room to see Siu Lung, his clothes in disarray, in the bed with Jiu Sin. Siu Lung begs for forgiveness about his act of adultery with the princess and agrees to assassinate the Ngai king. Sun Ling Gwan deeply believes that Siu Lung isn't a thief. Ting Fong and Lin Jun follow Lou Oi on the road. To get on his good side, they give him food and a place to stay. Lou Oi was happy that his expenses were paid and took advantage of it. Ting Fong couldn't help it and yelled at Lou Oi for only caring about torturing the two and had no thoughts of taking a disciple. Lou Oi says that if he [Lin Jun] wants to be his disciple, he must pass through three tests. The first test was to jump off from the top of a cliff, which trained him in his daring. The second test was to stay in a pool of excrement for one day and night and to live with the bugs and worms there. This is for training his capability for patience. Lin Jun accepts the challenge. Siu Lung goes to the waterside pavilion to retrieve the book and hears a maid call Kam Ching 'madame'. He guesses that she must be the wife of Lung Yeung Gwan and feels a bit disappointed. Lung Yeung Gwan invites Siu Lung to drink wine and to talk of swordplay. He treated Siu Lung with deep affection and sincerity, which scared the wits out of him. After passing the second test, Ting Fong helps Lin Jun to the waterfall to wash the stink off him. Lou Oi sees Ting Fong, back in her female clothes [before she pretended to be a man] and an evil idea pops in his head. He says his third test was for Lin Jun to give him Ting Fong for one night. Lin Jun flat out refuses and says that he was going to retire in the village with her. Ting Fong makes it clear that she is helping him due to friendship and not love. Lin Jun receives a big shock at this and his heart has made up his mind. He invites her out to eat. After drinking the tea, Ting Fong feels her body become weak. Lin Jun carries her to a room and Lou Oi comes in. He praises him for his work and moves closer to the bed. Ting Fong starts screaming and yelling. |
