Tracing Shadow Page #2

What a lunatic!

It is impossible to see in the dark

In the flowing water...

we're in Paradise...

Sorry, the pitch was too high

The endless horizon...

We easily part but may never meet again...

In the flowing water... uh... the spring...

we're in Paradise...

Crazy!

He is not teaching at all.

It's okay, don't be scared,

let me take you home

How about I teach you

to sing something else?

I can do rap, too!

Bugger off!

See you tomorrow then!

What happened?

Nothing, a customer wanted to pay

his compliments to the chef

Nothing, a customer wanted to pay

his compliments to the chef

Hey, Jackie!

How's the fashion business?

It's doing just fine...

My business would

never match your vocals, Andy

Gone out to buy dinner, Jet?

Pancakes

It's the night of the full moon,

I need my energy

It's the Autumn Festival tonight

They still haven't given up on the hunt

Changgong

It's been five years

We still have no clue where the treasure is

Not "we", it's you

Finding Emperor Ming's hidden treasure

would unlock the secret to

how this empire was built

The Ryukyu Kingdom

would no longer need

to be a part of Ming China

And we would never

need to fear Japan again

Not too long ago, my Mongolian

ancestors ruled the world

And now, Ming China

has taken over the reign

Also...

I hear the Manchurians from the North

have been prepping their military

force for quite some time

I doubt that some legendary treasure

holds the power to save your country

I don't care

This is the task I was given

I need to get hold of the treasure

A Ninja always completes a mission

Do you blame me for losing the map?

Do you blame me for losing the map?

I'm more curious about something else...

You really have no

interest in the treasure at all?

Why is it that the wind always blow

eerily when there's a full moon?

Why is it that the wind always blow

eerily when there's a full moon?

Could there be ghosts?

I wouldn't mind a female ghost!

No, this ain't right

I'm the Mayor of Side road Town

And I'm about to meet the love of my life

I must behave like a man!

Darn, I need to pee...

My nose!

My hand!

Still not here yet...

I better get it done now

I can't hold it anymore!

My apologies Saint Tree

please don't be offended

Saint Water needs to come out...

Mayor Gu!

Don't be scared, I'm here!

Are you okay?

Mayor Gu

Your coat...

Coat...

No worries, it's fake

I mean down there...

Nothing fake down there...

I left the house in a hurry

Done

Where is it?

It's still there

Oh, you mean the Town Directory

Here it is

Please be careful with it

Thank you

Your hands are so cold,

let me keep them warm for you

The County Magistrate repeatedly

warned me to keep this confidential

I took this out with great difficulty

I am sorry to place you

in such difficult position

I'd do anything for you, my dear Xin

You know something?

My fellow townsmen all call me

"The Town Mom"

Oh, what an adorable nickname

Oh my god, what a beautiful smile

Here, let me give you another surprise

Here, let me give you another surprise

Another directory?

Here, let me show you

my most well kept treasure

Something I've worked on for years

This here documents all the

residential changes of this town

I work on it every night,

making sure it's accurate and up to date

I lose a lot of sleep working on it

This is Madam Zhang's eldest daughter

She was only 18

when she left so young and attractive...

So young, attractive, and desirable...

I didn't know you were

also such a talented artist

Every young woman in this town

is drawn in this directory

Just ensuring the town census is in check

I haven't checked you yet

There will be a chance...

Mayor Gu,

are you also in possession of another

book titled Southern Legends ?

Oh, that book?

I could tell you all the legendary stories

Speaking of legends

there's no better story than my

own... |Mayor Gu is a busy man

I wouldn't want to bother you

Why don't you just get me the book?

And I'll read the stories on my own

You really want it?

Yes, I want it

No problem!

I will bring it to you tomorrow

I am so grateful!

It's getting late, I better head back home

Don't leave yet!

What about our original plans for tonight?

Good morning, Jackie!

Morning!

Jackie! Andy!

Starting business so early today

You two are looking great this morning

Not as great as your leg

My hand!

My nose!

My leg!

Good morning, Lord Xu!

Good morning...

Lord Xu...

What a coincidence...

Looking to get a jacket made?

It has been a year, nine months,

and nineteen days since you last paid rent

Then...

Lord Xu...

I have long heard that

you're a brilliant mathematician

I can see you are indeed a genius!

It's true, I am quite good

Okay, enough with the bull crap, pay up!

We're both educated people here,

we shouldn't be discussing

unsophisticated matters such as money

You? Sophisticated?

I studied at the Imperial College for years

before I could be deemed as a scholar

Am I understanding this correctly?

You draw a couple of ugly lizards

and you're calling yourself an artist?

It's a Dragon!

Not a lizard!

We are all Chinese

Great descendents of the Dragon

Why don't you cut me some slack

Give me an extension of a couple more days

Lord Xu

Needless to say,

you are a man of sophistication

enormous wealth, and striking looks

You are strong and wise,

simply irresistible...

Geez, cut the crap!

But what was that you just said?

Enormous wealth?

No, that I already know

Strong and wise, simply irresistible...

Irresistible...

Okay, you seem honest and reliable enough

I'll grant you a ten day extension

Lord Xu

I speak nothing but the truth

Cross my heart, hope to die!

What was that again?

Cross my heart, hope to die?

No

Irresistible...

Wei...

Wei!

Is uncle and auntie home?

Don't be disgusting

You wanna order something to eat?

Here's your lunch

Eat quickly

Wait!

Now what?

I want to order more dishes

Order more food?

You never eat!

Look at how skinny you are!

Actually...

I only came to see you

Fine, you've seen me

Now, pay the check and leave!

One more thing!

I...

What?

Well...

There's something I'd like

to discuss with you

What do you want?

I was wondering when you

plan on paying the rent!

What about those three? They never pay!

Why don't you go ask your uncle for it, huh?

Fine...

Please don't be angry

I'll come back tomorrow

Long time no see, Lord Xu.

How have you been?

Mayor Gu, I think you need to

straighten things out a bit...

Mayor Gu, I think you need to

straighten things out a bit...

People in this town

are behaving like bandits

What bandits? Where?

There hasn't been one bandit

since I took over

the position of Town Mayor

How could there possibly be bad behavior?

Stop spreading such ugly rumors!

Really?

How am I to govern this town?

You're right, Mayor Gu

My father bought you this Mayor

position before he passed away

Have you already forgotten
