A Step Into The Past

YAO, a hitman, is in a fight with his enemies and LUNG has rescued him by chance. LUNG realises he is now in the Chiu Empire and thus asks YAO to lead him back to the Qin Empire. YAO has taken him to the city of Handan instead. This night, LUNG follows YAO to a hut and overhears YIM PING and the people inside discussing how to kill YUEN JUNG. There LUNG also finds out that YAO is in fact a girl. YAO and LUNG see an old man in the street, who is being teased by a gang of knights. LUNG helps to drive the knights off. YAO wonders if that old man is JUNG. PING is going to poison JUNG but LUNG and YAO have turned up in time and spoiled PING’s plan. It is found that JUNG is a descendent of the Mo Sect. PING has been trying to steal one treasured object from JUNG, with which he can order people around. YAO suggests JUNG teach LUNG the renowned Mozhe Sword Techniques and JUNG promises. While JUNG is teaching LUNG, PING comes along.

JUNG and PING have had a terrible fight and both of them have got seriously hurt. YAO kills PING in order to get a special award. Before JUNG dies, he has passed a wooden sword and his treasured object on to LUNG. LUNG disapproves of YAO’s greed and selfishness, and thus decides to leave her. LUNG works as a blacksmith but can earn just a little money. Out of the blue, someone has prepared excellent food and accommodation for him and he knows for sure it is all arranged by YAO. By chance LUNG has assisted GREY BEARD to catch FONG, a member of the WOOs, and her bodyguard TAO. GREY BEARD is actually a thief and is hired to steal an emerald named ‘He’. LUNG is finally aware of the fact and releases FONG and TAO immediately. LUNG discovers that the emerald is used to save YING JING, the heir to the throne of the Qin Empire and therefore promises to help TAO to recover the emerald.… ...

LUNG knows CHUN is going to keep the genuine emerald. He thus exchanges the genuine emerald for the fake one. TAO brings LUNG back to the WOO’s Castle to meet his master WOO YING YUEN. FONG is not happy with LUNG as she thinks he has spoken ill of CHUN. LUNG explains that he swapped the genuine emerald for the fake one just for long-term advantages. YUEN has no choice but to try to believe it. CHUN presents the fake emerald to MUK, which makes MUK thrilled to bits. With his quick wit, LUNG has successfully proven the WOO’s innocence in front of EMPEROR CHIU, making MUK furious. YUEN thinks highly of LUNG for he is so clever that he can save the WOOs without doing YING JING any harm. But FONG is just so jealous of LUNG. PRINCE POON, the son of PRINCESS ANN, is teasing a girl in the street. Meanwhile LUNG passes by and has stopped him and given him a good telling-off.… ...

MUK blames CHUN for having not killed LUNG during the fight. He is going to take LUNG’s life in the forthcoming football match. YUEN can see that LUNG is really good at football and thus asks him to help train his guards, which makes FONG and her brother WAI very unhappy. FONG is going to play a trick on LUNG, and for this matter, she orders CHUN to buy some medicine for her. CHUN has bought her some poison instead. LUNG sneaks into JING’s house to have a look. There he meets TAO. LUNG claims that he is a secret agent working for LUI BUTT WAI, a prominent official of the Qin Empire. YUEN doubts it. Outwardly LUNG is busy training a group of footballers but in fact he is training a number of knights who will be skilful enough to rescue JING. FONG puts the medicine (the poison actually) into the soup for LUNG. She has carelessly dropped the bowl and the soup just spreads over the floor. A dog comes near and takes a sip of the soup.… ...

FONG can finally pass the screening test. She then urges LUNG to jump down the cliff. LUNG does what she says, which scares her half to death. FONG discovers she has been cheated by LUNG and flies into a fury. She even calls him ‘Bastard’. LUNG insists on teaching the modern football skills but both FONG and WAI doubt if it works. The day of the MUK versus WOO football match finally comes. POON and PRINCE KA have a bet on the outcome. POON’s mother ANN appears and everyone out there gets stunned by her beauty. TAK mocks POON, saying that his mother is too sexy. POON finds such comment very offensive and is outraged. LUNG’s team is winning in the first half of the match but CHUN means to break the rules. LUNG finds an excuse to take a rest. He then gets out of the court and joins TAO. The two of them immediately go to JING’s house to save him. Unfortunately they are trapped and do not succeed. Surprisingly, LUNG meets YAO there.… ...

MUK learns from CHUN that LUNG is quite a randy guy and has thought of a plan to deal with him. LUNG meets ANN in the market. Suddenly ANN’s horse goes crazy and LUNG has stopped it just in time. LUNG thinks there must be some strange goings-on. LUNG gives FONG a jade hairgrip, which makes her thrilled. But as soon as she finds out that ANN has asked him out for a date, she gets outraged and throws the hairgrip at LUNG. LUNG picks up the broken hairgrip and leaves. ANN is trying every possible way to seduce LUNG. Meanwhile, POON gets into the room and sees the scene. He is furious thinking that they are just too shameless. ANN instantly gives POON a slap. ANN believes LUNG is a real gentleman since he never takes sexual advantages of her. He did not even touch her when she was drunk. FONG thinks that LUNG and ANN have already had sex and thus burns with jealousy.… ...

POON appoints a few gangsters to attack LUNG but out of his expectation, LUNG can successfully drive out all of them. MUK tries to bribe LUNG with pretty women and grand mansions but LUNG turns him down without hesitation. MUK gets outraged. ANN asks LUNG to become POON’s master, which surprises LUNG a lot. FONG has mistakenly damaged the orchids that ANN gave LUNG. To make it up to LUNG, she turns to SINN for some new orchids. SINN reveals that she is marrying either the Prince of the Hon Empire or the Prince of the Ngai Empire. ANN wants POON to be LUNG’s apprentice but POON refuses. LUNG shows POON all his power, making POON so amazed. POON now looks up to LUNG a lot and really wants to learn from him. LUNG has got back the repaired hairgrip. TAO tells him that FONG has just sent him some orchids. TAO points out that FONG seems to be very fond of LUNG, which makes LUNG a bit worried. A war-horse is poisoned to death.… ...

That mysterious man is actually CHO CHOW DAO, who is extremely skilful at sword fighting. DAO asks the whereabouts of JUNG’s treasured object but LUNG has found loads of excuses to distract him. YAO is appointed to steal the treasured object from LUNG. LUNG gives SINN a nickname ‘RABBIT’ and calls himself ‘OX’. SINN is quite fond of him. ANN suggests LUNG leave Handan and explains to him that she does not know where CHU KATE and her son have been. LUNG, on the other hand, advises ANN to leave MUK. LUNG sneaks into MUK’s house at night. Luckily he is rescued by a lady there or else he would probably have been discovered by MUK. LUNG does not know that lady is KATE. TAK and KA go to see POON and challenge him to a fight. POON is beaten and gets seriously hurt. ANN looks after POON very carefully. He is immensely touched by ANN’s thoughtfulness. LUNG knows SINN has to return to the Palace the next day.… ...

FONG sees LUNG together with ANN and gets so angry. She means to drink herself into a stupor and CHUN comes to take sexual advantages of her. To protect FONG, LUNG has a fight with CHUN and has hit him severely. LUNG takes FONG to the riverside but FONG is so careless that she has fallen into the water. LUNG tries to restore her life by mouth-to-mouth respiration. CHUN proposes to FONG and asks for YUEN’s permission. He swears that he will leave MUK in the near future. YUEN does not really believe him. FONG thinks it is LUNG who has proposed to her and is thrilled to bits. CHUN has got something from KATE and he passes it on to YUEN. He suggests YUEN write a confidential letter to KATE. This has been discovered by EMPEROR CHIU but with their wit, LUNG and YUEN can finally explain it away. MUK is irked by this. FONG knows SINN is in love with a man and suggests SINN should let him know about it.… ...

He explains that he just regards SINN as his sister and there is nothing to do with love and romance. SINN is glad that she has had a great time with LUNG even though it does not last long. SINN knows FONG is in love with LUNG and suggests she go for it. FONG is touched by SINN’s encouragement. EMPEROR CHIU would like to give CHUN a reward. CHUN says he wants nothing but FONG.
