I have been writing this letter all night.

Love you always, Sing.

Here it's beautiful, here it's great

How peaceful and prosperous it is here!

What a dangerous and messy world.

A swordsman was killed.

He was a great kung fu master,

from the Happy Forest.

He was called Meng Sing Wan.

I am scared to death.

You are supposed to be dead.

From now on, you are called Tsun Wai.

You are a swordsman from the South - a Cantonese.

Don't worry, I will get the secret letter off Li

before the autumn.

I will find out about Suen Suk Pa.

We can kill him this time if we join our forces.

On the first day of each month

Suen will book a room at a brothel.

The swordsman will spend one night there

with the best whore, Miu Siu Siu.

There are lots of performers from the North

there at the moment.

They perform by the shore each night,

I believe Suen will go there soon.

Sir, how about fortune telling?

How much?

Five cents now, fifty taels next time.

Why are the prices so different?

If you don't trust me this time,

Five cents will mean a lot to you.

But if you think it's worth coming here

a second time, fifty taels isn't expensive.

What do you want to know?

Just tell me anything you know.

You are on a secret mission.

You're meeting a friend.

Have I ever seen this friend before?

Yes, and you will meet this friend again.

You haven't seen each other in ten years.

Five cents is too expensive.

Is my friend a man or woman?

A woman.

I shouldn't ask a blind man my fortune.

You are so arrogant.

Stop.

Sister Ko, I have reached the Elite Villa.

Suen Puk Pa trusts me.

I am now investigating Li Shu Tin's letter.

Besides Suen,

I've found a hooker called Miu Siu Siu.

She looks like Ho Ching

the one who disappeared ten years ago.

I wonder if she is Ho Ching?

I'll carry on investigating.

How is Butterfly?

Why didn't you mention her?

I'd like to know what she is doing.

Please reply as soon as possible. Meng Sing Wan.

Who is it?

Sister Ko, it's me.

I've come to visit you.

Hello Bumblebee.

You are mistaken, I am Little Butterfly.

Sing has had so many girlfriends,

I can't remember all their names.

Please forgive me.

I made some dim sum for you.

You know how to please people, don't you.

That's why Sing fell for you.

What do you want me to do for you?

Sister Ko, you're smart.

Sing wants you to teach me how to sew.

And I think I should dress like you.

You look so beautiful.

No one would believe

you're ten years older than me.

You are wrong. I am only six years older.

You know I have a bad memory.

Hey, you haven't returned my hairpin.

But you took the scarf which Brother Sing sent me.

Don't you remember?

You can take anything as you are so mean.

I don't want anything.

Brother Sing asked me not to argue with you.

He knows you are mean.

Me... Mean?

I have made some clothes for Sing.

I wonder if they will fit him.

Of course they will.

We grew up together. I know everything about him.

Grew up together?

I thought you were just his babysitter.

What did you say.

Nothing, just kidding.

What an awful colour.

Sing loves these two colours.

I've never seen him wearing this colour before.

How long have you been with him?

We lived together for over 10 years.

I know his loves and hates.

It's too sweet.

Sing loves sweet things.

I thought you understood Sing.

I won't eat anything,

I'll save it for Yip Cheung.

Sister Ko, you like Yip.

Actually,

you two are a perfect match for each other.

Stop it, if he hears that he'll misunderstand.

You know he is a serious man

and you always make fun of him.

Yip is serious, but he treats you well.

Hey, he can't cope with Sing anyway.

I agree.

Lots of girls love Sing.

I've worried so much about his trip this time

but I tell myself not to.

He has a secret weapon.

Just tell me, or forget it.

I'll tell you, but just because it's you.

I'm pregnant.

Are you sure it's Sing's baby?

What do you mean?

Why are you so serious? I'm joking.

I'm going to look for Yip Cheung.

Hey! What are you doing?

- Nothing.

You're lying. Your mouth is dirty.

Really? What is it?

Are you drunk again?

Why did you kiss the picture?

I didn't.

Give it to me.

Stop teasing me.

Who is she? Your lover? I'm not teasing you.

I've brought you some dim sum.

Master Suen, how is our plan going?

Yes, Your Excellency,

it's going smoothly.

We have sent out all the invitations.

On the eighth day of August,

all the heroes of the martial arts world

will gather at Han's Forest.

Then,

the Yellow Dragon Horse Troop will pick them.

We will set out at once

to destroy Ko and her Happy Forest.

If I chop the claws off a crab,

how far will it go?

Tsao Sau Ching, how well can you cope with me?

Master Suen,

our mission is going to be successful.

The title of Master of the martial arts world

is reserved for you.

Thank you.

But be careful.

Many great kung fu masters are found

in the Happy Forest School.

Don't worry.

I have something to report too.

Last month,

I recruited a great swordsman from Hai Fung.

He is as great at martial arts

as Lui Heung Chuen.

You mean Chun Wai.

You are well informed.

To get the title of

Master of the martial arts world

everyone wants to recruit great swordsmen.

It is easy to recruit,

but much harder to make a man loyal.

Your Excellency.

I know what you mean.

We should find out

what your opponent's weakness is,

so we can control him.

All Lui Heung Cheun wants is money.

Chun Wai wants my lover.

Only believe it

if you have seen it with your own eyes.

Remember, you should be careful.

I will always remember your words.

Sister Ko,

Suen Yuk Pa is now arranging the moves.

On the eighth day of August,

he'll send the Yellow Dragon Horse Troop

to bring some heroes to his villa.

You should try your very best to stop him

otherwise we will be in deep sh*t.

I will inform you straight away of any news.

If I get any. Meng Sing Wan.

How dare you.

We are the guests of the Elite Villa.

Well, that means I haven't made any mistakes.

Sir, what's happened?

Miss, we found this corpse.

We found this letter in his luggage.

We sent it to the address written on it.

Go and check whether the dead man is your relative

Go.

Butterfly.

Yip Cheung, what's wrong with Brother Sing?

Round them up.

Master, we've found something.

Ho Ching.

What did you say? What do you mean?

You look like one of my friends.

What did you say?

How old are you? Where do you come from?

Are you...

Chun Wai, how dare you be so rude to Miss Miu.

Suen Kim.

Dad, he was rude to Miss Miu.

Stop.

I have some good news to announce to you all.

In three days, I will marry Miss Miu to Chun Wai.

Miss Miu, congratulations.

Master, in fact I...

I know what's on your mind.

You won't blame me for not informing you before,

right?

I...

You're lucky. You'd better keep your mouth shut.

Bravo.

Give me the arrow.

Master, will you give us more luck?

Haha, so what, I love it.

Monkey!
