Relying on his courage, Siu Lung perilously wins over Lin Jun. Jiu Muk spoke in defense of Lin Jun and Ying Yuen proposes that they should wait until the day of the soccer (1) match to find who is 'female and male' (2). Jiu Muk scolds Lin Jun for not seizing the opportunity to kill Siu Lung so they had to wait until the end of the soccer match to kill him. Ying Yuen sees that Siu Lung's skill at kicking the soccer ball is excellent and asks him to train his family generals so that they can wash of the decaying feelings for the last three years (3). He treats Siu Lung like a distinguished guest, which leads Ting Fong and her elder brother Ting Wai to feel resentful. She tells Lin Jun to buy medicine to teach Siu Lung a lesson but he buys her poison. Ting Fong didn't know this, yet luckily she uses the "Tang Wan Ga Mou San (4)" bough by her brother to deal with Siu Lung first. Siu Lung, believing that he was going to die soon, decides to save Ju Gei and her son as quickly as possible. He proceeds to explore the Jat Ji Fu (5) in the evening and meets Tou Fong, who is also there to save Ying Jing. Siu Lung calls himself a secret agent sent by the prime minister of the Chun state, Lui Bat Wai. Ying Yuen partly believes it but is also suspicious. Siu Lung chooses the elite family generals to, in name, train them in playing soccer. In actuality, he is training them to help save Ying Jing. Ting Fong again puts in 'poison' in Siu Lung's food and drink. By accident, it falls over and a dog starts eating it. The dog dies from the 'poison' and Ting Fong's face loses its color. She asks Lin Jun about the 'poison' but he sweet talks his way out of the blame, again. Siu Lung wants to choose the elite out of the elite. Ting Fong and Ting Wai also want to join the training group, so Siu Lung makes a bet with Ting Fong. Jiu Muk tries to get Siu Lung to join forces with him, which makes Lin Jun resentful. Ting Fong goes in the royal palace to visit Jiu Sin. She tells her about all the faults that Siu Lung has. Ting Fong wants to win the bet with Siu Lung so she starts to train herself vigorously. She even has no interest in practicing swordplay with Lin Jun, which makes him more upset. After a period of hard practice, she accepts Siu Lung's evaluation with a lot of self confidence. Notes for Episode 5 1. I'm not exactly talking about the soccer you see on TV here. It's similar but hehehe, it doesn't use the ball we're used to seeing. 2. 'female and male' is a saying used to convey strong and weak. (or winner and loser in this case) I personally do not like using this phrase since it belittle women; calling them weak and useless. (written by Jennifer) 3. Another saying. The meaning is like, thy want to wash of the 'stink, decay' = past losses so they can be vindicated. 4. There's no real translation for this substance, but a literal meaning for it might be 'the dispersal of the leaping cloud and driving mist'. 5. Literal meaning: 'Hostage Mansion'. |
