RECAP OF THE STORY ,  CHU XIUMING COMES TO A PHARMACY AND SHOWS A MEDICINE TO THE PHARMACIST AND ASKED HIM TO CHECK IT OUT. 

CHU XIUMING: " PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. "

HE NODS NO TO CHU XIUMING THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS MEDICINE. 

CHU XIUMING: " THANK YOU. "[HE LEAVES THE PHARMACY. ]

BUN SELLER : " HOT STEAMED BUNS! "

WHILE STANDING IN MDDILE OF THE STREET , HE RECALLS HIS CHILDHOOD AGAIN WHEN HE  CALLS FOR CHU XIAYUAN'S MOTHER, THAT IS CHU XIUMING 'S AUNT. 

[FLASHBACK]

YOUNG CHU XIUMING: " AUNT! AUNT! AUNT!  AUNT! AUNT! "

HE RUNS TO HIS AUNT.

CHU XIAYUAN'S MOTHER : " MING'ER ,  COME HERE.  MING'ER ,  LOOK AT YOU YOUR IMPOSING FIGURE . I'M SURE YOU WILL BE A GENERAL TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY WHEN YOU GROW UP. "

YOUNG CHU XIUMING : " I'LL PROTECT YOU AND MY LITTLE BROTHER YOU ARE CARRYING. "

AT THAT TIME , HIS AUNT WAS PREGNANT WITH CHU XIAYUAN. 

CHU XIAYUAN'S MOTHER : " MING'ER , A MAN  SHOULD CARE ALL ABOUT HIS PEOPLE.  IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST PROTECT YOUR FAMILY . YOU SHOULD BE STRONG ,  ABD USE YOUR BLADE TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE UNDER OPPRESSION. "

YOUNG CHU XIUMING : " I'LL KEEP  THAT IN MIND. "

CHU XIAYUAN'S MOTHER : " MING 'ER ,  LOOK ,  MY MOTHER HAD GIVEN IT TO ME. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU NOW TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS.  YOU COULD GIVE IT YOUR LOVED ONE WHEN YOU GROW UP.  TELL HER TO TAKE IT ALONG WITH HER  TO PROTECT HER ,  ALL RIGHT ? "

THE LITTLE BOY NODS YES AND LOOKS AT THE JADE GIVEN BY HIS AUNT.

[PRESENT]

CHU XIUMING : "[HIMSELF]  AUNT ,  I'LL KEEP MY PROMISE  , PROTECT THE ONE I LOVE , AND GUARD THE ONE I CARE. AND I'LL FIND THE TRUTH FOR YOU. "] [HE WALKS ON]

IN THE WRESLING MATCH ,  

A WOMAN : " THREE, TWO , ONE , FIGHT! "

EVERYONE CLAPS AND CHEERS. SHEN JIN HER MAID BEST FRIEND AND CHU XIAYUAN WATCHES THE WRESTLING MATCH.

CUTIE PIE: " HM? "

SHEN JIN : " WOW, WE CAN EAT LIKE THAT ? "

CUTIE PIE : " I DON'T KNOW ,  I HAVEN'T SEEN IT EITHER. "

SHEN JIN: " THE MEAT WAS CHOPPED UP, SKEWERED ,  AND ROASTED ON THE FIRE! "

CUTIE PIE : " THAT SHOULD BE THE UNIQUE SPICE OF THE HAWK. "

SHEN JIN: " I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TASTE LIKE. "

CUTIE PIE : " I WANT TO KNOW. LET'S HAVE A TASTE! "

CHU XIAYUAN : " MY LADY! MY LADY! "

SHEN JIN : " WHAT? "

CHU XIAYUAN : " MY LADY ,  THE HAWK'S DIET IS QUITE DIFFERENT  FROM OURS ,  AND WE HAVE JUST ARRIVED HERE. I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T BE ACCLIMATIZED  TO DO IT.  LOOK ,  THIS 'S UNWHOLESOME. THE MEAT IS IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE FIRE , AND THERE'S ASHES ON IT.  YOU'D BETTER....[AS HE GOES ON SAYING ,  THE TWO WOMEN STARTS EATING THE MEAT. ]  BETTER NOT TO TRY. "

SHEN JIN: " LIEUTENANT IS RIGHT.  THIS IS UMWHOLESOME , AND IT'S TASTE IS NOT AS GOOD AS DELICACIES , BUT IT IS REALLY GOOD WITH THEIR UNIQUE SPICE!  HAVEN'T WE EATEN LIKE THIS IN THE BARRACK? THEY ARE SIMILAR. "
