There have always been conflicts

in the martial arts world.

Some people think they can avoid conflict

by suppressing their earthly desires.

In fact,

'love' is the most difficult thing to suppress.

So many heroes have lost their nerve

because of the women they love.

I am on a secret mission for his Majesty.

I shall be gone for a few months.

If you tell anyone where I am, you will be killed.

Keep on going.

Who are you? Are you going to rob us?

No. Your head is more valuable

than any of your possessions.

I can't believe I just saw that.

Some sweets for my Husband, from Butterfly.

Sister, did you see anything?

I saw it all!

Don't worry, I've seen it before,

it hasn't changed in 10 years.

It's got bigger.

It's just like a mushroom.

It hasn't grown any bigger.

You're honest, but cruel.

That's why you can't get anyone to marry you.

How dare you talk to me like that?

I took care of anyone who wanted to marry me.

I was just kidding. Are you angry?

You've become so heartless since you met that Bee.

It's not Bee, she's called Butterfly.

You never come to visit me.

Isn't it delicious? Butterfly cooked it.

That's why it tastes so awful.

I don't know why you're so fond of her.

A whore would be better.

Does she know our secret?

Of course not.

She doesn't like men from the martial arts world.

Her father was the Master of the

"Eight Divine School"

She comes from the world of martial arts.

Her dad killed too many people

and asked her to stay away from that world

when he died.

Now she treats me like a merchant...

someone who knows nothing about kung fu.

So, just keep pretending you're a common merchant

and forget all about me.

What? But I care about you.

I've done everything you asked me to do.

Ok, I haven't visited you as much as usual.

I'm busy moving.

A new home in beautiful surroundings

will be good for stargazing.

Will Butterfly move there with you?

What is Li Shu Tin from the West Chamber

planning to do?

I don't know, I am only a security officer.

You're not just a security officer,

you're also a spy.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Tell her quickly. The one down here is suffering.

Don't you want him alive?

Eunuch Tsao wants his head.

Give me the ball.

That's not fair.

Hey, this way.

Give it to me.

This way.

Your Excellency, here is Lu's head.

But he refused to tell us Li Shu Tin's plan.

Good job. Your help will bring luck to our kingdom

Thank you for the reward.

Be careful.

My body is getting weaker and weaker.

The royal doctor said I am very weak.

I might die before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ko, I have a wish.

A wish I've had for a long time.

I hope, before I die...

Your Excellency,

do you want me to kill Li Shu Tin?

Li's collaboration with Suen Yuk Pa

has increased his power.

They want to control the world of martial arts,

after my death,

they will plan a coup together.

Li Shu Tin gave Suen a secret letter,

in it are the details of the rebellion.

I want to get hold of this letter

and use it as evidence.

This way, once his Majesty knows their plans,

we won't be blamed for anything.

Your Excellency,

do you want me to destroy Suen's power?

Ten years ago, my Happy Forest School

fought against his Elite Villa School.

Don't ask me to do that now.

I know I have to destroy him one day,

but there are only two months

before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It will be difficult to kill him

in such a short space of time.

But this is my wish.

I'll have to pay a high price for this.

I might have to sacrifice my life.

Wait... See you payment first.

Then decide Ok?

Do me this favour please.

This is a difficult mission. But not impossible.

Do it before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I'll wait for your good news.

I'll try my best. You won't be disappointed.

The owner of this ball must be very important.

It belongs to Prince Cha.

He is the relative and playmate of His Majesty.

His Majesty thinks he is clever.

I told him to learn about internal affairs.

Soon you will have an excellent assistant.

But I am dying.

And he is too young

and not eager enough to learn.

What a pity.

Are you going to give me the ball?

You are smart.

But what a pity you love playing games so much.

How can you take on any responsibilities

if you aren't good at these games as well?

I have to thank you for giving me the ball.

Where are you? Come out I've got the ball back.

How is he ever going to be successful?

Master, there are a lot of great fighters

in the world of martial arts.

We've invited them all,

but how can we find the most powerful one?

Why did I recruit you?

Because I killed Hung,

the Master of the Twelve Allied Swords.

Exactly. To find the real hero,

see who kills whom.

Why did I send the invitations?

Because I want a massacre.

Guess, go to Han's Forest.

Find no more than ten heroes.

You are wise.

Master Suen,

Ko of Happy Forest will attack you at any time.

You must be careful

about the secret letter I wrote.

Look after it carefully.

Don't let the men of Happy Forest find it.

We'll be finished otherwise. Li Shu Tin.

Dad, he...

I've told you before not to mess around

when I'm in a meeting.

But, I've reached

the ninth grade of the Wonder Fists.

I want to practice with Brother Lui.

That's fine Suen Kim.

Call me by my nickname - The Saint of the Sword.

Ok, Saint of the Sword.

You lost this time, you owe me 50 taels.

Get lost.

Brother Lui, I'm challenging you.

Tomorrow I'll wait for you.

Dad, I'm coming.

Brother Sing, be careful.

Isn't this fun?

Take my hand, I'll help you over.

- Fine.

Brother Sing, be careful.

You're not that bad.

- This is my home.

As a child, I was always in the trees stargazing.

These are for you.

Thank you.

Let's go over there.

Do you like it?

Did you make it?

That deserves a kiss.

It's pretty.

When the house is built,

let's put the bed right here.

Then we can look at the views everyday.

And then we could put in a skylight

so we could look at the stars at night.

Great.

What a lot of rain.

Please Sir, give us shelter.

Please give us shelter!

- Don't bother me.

Get lost.

Let's go here.

What a lot of rain.

Brother Sing I want his candy.

I'll get it for you later.

What are you doing there! Go away.

Why did you kick her?

This is my doorway.

Don't do that!

- Let's get him.

Who cares if it's your house. Go to hell Fatty!

Don't think you can bully others like that.

You deserve a good lesson.

From now on, we are Brothers and Sisters.

We will share the good and the bad.

We ask you to witness this.

Sister Ko, I found the ones who beat me up.

Good. Ask Fatty's Gang to come here.

We'll kill them all now.

Ok.

Go in.

Search them. Hurry up.

Are they the ones who beat you up?

Sister Ko, they're the ones who beat me up.

Hold it! If you've got guts,

let's fight one against one.

Who is going to fight with you? Beat him!

Are you scared?

Have you finished?

Let's call it quits, Ok.

Are you telling us his parents
