Ting Fong succeeds in passing the test and she wants Siu Lung to keep his promise to jump off a cliff. Siu Lung really does it and Ting Fong is scared speechless (1). Jiu Sin hears Ting Fong change the name 'sex fiend' to 'old man' (2). She teases her about liking that 'old man'. While teaching Ting Fong on sword skills, Lin Jun notices that she's thinking about Siu Lung and feels upset. Siu Lung uses modern soccer techniques in teaching the group. Ting Fong and Ting Wai are suspicious. In the evening, he explains to the group (minus Ting Fong and Ting Wai, of course) about how to attack the Jat Ji Fu to save Ying Jing. On the day of the soccer match, Jiu Pun acts as the house in a bet on which side will win. Siu Yuen Gwan Jiu Dak adds fuel to the fire, causing the prince, Jiu Nga and Jiu Pun to bet on Jiu Muk and the Wu family to win, respectively. Jiu Nga suddenly appears, causing everyone to fall for her. Jiu Dak, taking advantage of it, ridicules Jiu Pun for having a sensual mother. In the beginning of the match, Siu Lung and his team was in the lead. Lin Jun, afraid that Jiu Muk would blame him, secretly kicked the ball towards Siu Lung's shank. Siu Lung was injured and left the game. He then went to the Jat Ji Fu to save Ying Jing along with Tou Fong and the family. Unfortunately, they got ambushed and he finds out that the person who is impersonating Ju Gei was Sin Yau. She secretly helps Siu Lung and Tou Fong escape but the generals all sacrificed themselves to allow the two to safely leave the mansion. The Wu team suffer a crushing defeat in the match and Jiu Pun loses his money as well as his reputation. Jiu Muk finds out that the Jat Ji Fu had been attacked and infers that it was the Wu family's doings. He uses the cover of visiting Siu Lung to check on his injuries to do an investigation. Fortunately, Siu Lung had thought of this earlier and Jiu Muk had to return without finding out anything. Tou Fong and Siu Lung feel guilty about the deaths of the generals and the failure in saving Ying Jing. Ying Yuen goes to console them and Ting Fong, outside, over hears the secrets that she was from the Chun state and that they're here to save Ying Jing. Yuen Yuen tells her not to see Lin Jun anymore. Sin Yau goes to see her master about the failure in her mission. He sends her off to copmlete another one. Notes on Episode 6 1. The summary at the TVB site doesn't mention the fact that Siu Lung was pretending to jump off the cliff. He later pretends to be a ghost to scare the wits out of Ting Fong. 2. If you didn't know, Ting Fong is talking about Siu Lung here. I think I wrote the wrong translation for the words 'old man'. At the time, I was thinking of the Mandarin pronunciation for the characters... but when I thought of the Cantonese pronunciation (Siu Yan), I realized it actually meant something along the lines of 'bad guy'. A little bit more from the webmaster: Siu Yan is also mean a 'little or small person'. Siu means 'little' and Yan means 'person'. But in many of the TV series, most of the time, they refer to 'siu yan' as a bad person because they have a lowly mind and can only think of bad stuff. |
