I knew there was something fishy going on

What are you still doing here?

Get out!

I don't want to see you again!

Get out!

Please, let me explain

What's there to explain?

First you try partner with the fortune teller

Now you're trying to fool us with Gu Yuejin

I've had enough of you!

Get out of my sight!

Out!

Open the door!

Three of you don't come out

You better not touch me

I'll sue you for harassment.

I would never touch you

Ladies, you help me guard their doors

Ladies, you help me guard their doors

If they get away, I'll up your rent instead

I'm gonna get locks to close down

these shops for good!

Lord Xu...

Please don't shut me down!

Shut up, are you going to pay me?

No? Lock the doors!

Lord Xu, we're really broke!

No rent, no shop.

Lord Xu...

Please, just give us a few more days

Lord Xu

Lord Xu, I'll repay you twice

the amount in a few days

I'll pay you twenty times the amount

Thirty times!

Sixty times!

Are you all idiots?

Twenty! Thirty! Sixty!

Is it raining gold here?

You got treasure hidden up your butts?

Crazy!

We can hide treasure up our butts?

How do we do that?

You! Have you paid your rent?

I'm just passing by...

Who says you don't need to pay?

I own this street!

Who says you don't need to pay?

I own this street!

You! Have you paid your rent?

I'm broke

The Generals shall leave

"The Three Fortunes"

When the three stars turn, luck will arrive

I'll take this as payment

I'll take this as payment

Big changes shall fall upon us now

The seven elements added with three

All the fortune will come alive

Lord Xu!

You know Judge Liu's Pancake Song, too?

Did you pay the rent?

I've never had to

Why not?

I'm gonna smash your booth

I've known your father for many years

When he found that treasure map

I knew his luck had come

See how he built those shops?

Look how much fortune

he's made for your family

Nonsense!

Just now you told me love is near

But instead, I got slapped in the face

You tell my father his luck had come

Look how much bad luck this

treasure map has brought

He died two years

after that restaurant opened

I had no choice but to

give up school and come back

How do you explain all this?

I can only tell you your fortune,

not your destiny

He died before he could spend a cent

the heck with wealth!

Lord Xu!

Please put away that treasure map

You must not expose your fortune this way

You can have it

I don't want it!

Eat it...

Treasure map...

Lord Xu, please...

Your father left this to you

You must keep it safe

I've seen the treasure in your future

Stop torturing me!

And he says he's sophisticated,

such bad temper!

And he says he's sophisticated,

such bad temper!

Lord Xu, calm down!

Right, educated people should

behave with more sophistication

I'm fine now, thanks for asking...

How come I didn't know there was

treasure hidden in Side road Town?

Better check it out...

Once we find the treasure

we can take Wei and leave this place

Changgong...

Do you want to come to Ryukyu with me?

Or shall we return to Mongolia with you?

After all these years of

sufferings and disgrace

I have finally found

the treasure's hiding place

But...

But I've lost my home

I'm so homesick!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Nothing, just looking at my town

It's neither big nor small

Just a dead town...

Are you using the perfume I gave you?

No, I didn't

No?

How's your face?

Why didn't you duck away?

You're excellent in martial arts

how could I possibly match your speed

I don't know any Martial Arts

I only know the basic flying skill

I'm an orphan

When my stepfather found me

I was being bullied by others

He rescued me and

taught me the flying skill

He said as long as I know how to fly

I will always be able to escape from danger

You rich people

would never understand

Your life is too carefree

I'm an orphan, too!

My mother died when I was still very young

I was barely in college for two years

and my father passes away, too

And nobody is willing

to pay rent in this town

You're blaming us for

not paying rent again?

I'd never take anything from you

Well, my life is nothing like yours

Know why we only serve two dishes?

I'm illiterate

I wouldn't know how

to read or write a menu

Two dishes is easier to handle

I guess I'm the main reason that

our business is so bad

I guess I'm the main reason that

our business is so bad

I can teach you how to read

You'll teach me?

Let me teach you a poem first

Sure!

Roses are red, violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, and so are you!

Stop it!

You're always kidding around!

Like earlier today on the street

We all heard you talking

about that treasure map

We all heard you talking

about that treasure map

Just a useless piece of junk

Didn't you say you the other day

when the weather is good

you'd like to take me on a trip?

Look how bright the moon is shining tonight

Why don't we bring this map

and go on a treasure hunt?

Why don't we bring this map

and go on a treasure hunt?

I told you it's a useless piece of junk

Who cares?

It's just a game

We're taking off!

I can fly

Are you using Wei to help you

find the treasure map?

Are you using Wei to help you

find the treasure map?

I didn't force her into anything

She's happy to do it

You've seen it, too

Xu Sanguan is always

coming around to see her

What's the harm in two young

people having some fun together?

What's the harm in two young

people having some fun together?

You're just using her for your own agenda

Don't worry

I only asked her to get the map

I'll protect them from behind

They won't be in any danger

Do you think this map will really

lead us to a hidden treasure?

Do you think this map will really

lead us to a hidden treasure?

I have no idea

Like I said, it's a useless piece of junk

But the interesting part is

when you place it in water

a lot of words would appear

Really?

Yeah

There will have treasure

What would you do

if you found the treasure?

I...

would first purchase the restaurant from you

And then I would hire a good chef!

We'd be able to serve

whatever the customer orders

And my step-parents wouldn't have to

sweat it all day in the kitchen

to make ends meet

That's great

You wouldn't have to do the dishes anymore

And you'd have more time

to go travelling with me

Who said I'd go with you?

How about you?

I'd give the treasure to you

You'd be able to afford the restaurant

and I'd get to see you everyday

I don't want to see you at all!

Let's go

"Within 5 years"

"self-determination"

It's been five years

Your time is up

Are you okay?

Where's Wei?

Up there

Who were those people?

You should ask her

They're here for the treasure map

So the map is truly genuine?

Everyone's in search of a treasure

I know I've already found mine

it's a bit heavy though

So there really is a treasure hidden here

Trying to fool me in my own town?

Never!

My heart is with Xin,

but she only sees Changgong
