00:00The stranger woke up suddenly and realized there was a woman beside him.
00:03The woman, also startled, grabbed a rough stone and threw it at the stranger.
00:07But to her surprise, the stranger simply waved a knife aimlessly in the air.
00:11And in the next second, a crystal clear jade carving appeared in front of everyone.
00:15The stranger smiled slightly and said that the piece wasn't cheap.
00:18Then, he gave the jade to the woman.
00:20Even though she was still upset, upon seeing the jade, she decided not to argue further.
00:25She simply warned the stranger coldly that this incident must remain a secret.
00:28Both believed they would never cross paths again.
00:31But a few days later, the woman returned with the jade in hand
00:33and asked the stranger to pretend to be her boyfriend to help her pass some tests imposed by her family.
00:38However, the stranger was living in hiding for a reason.
00:41As the new grandmaster, he was searching for his father's killer and didn't want to get involved in any trouble.
00:46So he rejected the woman's request.
00:47But the words of his disciples made him hesitate.
00:50It turned out that her family had strict rules.
00:52If someone had relations before marriage with an outsider, they would be erased from the family registry.
00:56The stranger was deep in thought after hearing this.
00:58And left with the excuse of going to get supplies.
01:01Meanwhile, the family trials had already begun.
01:03The woman was the daughter of the family leader.
01:05If she didn't accept an arranged marriage, she had to pass three ancestral tests to be freed from it.
01:09The first trial was called the Jade Judgment.
01:11The original stones couldn't be touched.
01:13Only their value could be assessed by sight.
01:15Whoever chose the most valuable one would win.
01:18The woman's opponent was the family elder's favorite grandson.
01:20An expert with a sharp eye who immediately picked a high-quality jade stone.
01:24The woman, unsure of what to do, ended up choosing randomly.
01:28The stranger, hidden among the crowd, instantly realized she would definitely lose.
01:32And that's exactly what happened.
01:34The opponent's jade was worth $20,000.
01:36Hers barely reached $3,000.
01:38She lost the first round.
01:39The elder's grandson mocked her sarcastically.
01:42But the woman endured the humiliation and chose to continue.
01:44The second trial was jade carving.
01:47Both had to use the same material and create a piece in equal time.
01:50Whoever carved the most beautiful work would win.
01:52Her opponent was a man who had once been the Grandmaster's disciple.
01:56Skilled and knowledgeable about the master's secret techniques.
01:59He was the best of his generation.
02:00From the beginning, he used the carving as an excuse to fling shards of stone and injure others.
02:05Even manipulating the stone with tricks.
02:07Seeing the fear in the woman's eyes, he threw more fragments to intimidate her.
02:11Just then, the stranger appeared and loudly scolded the man, embarrassing him in front of everyone.
02:16The stranger's gesture made the woman feel protected.
02:18But family rules stated that if an outsider interfered, they'd be expelled from the house.
02:23The woman tearfully asked the stranger to leave, not wanting him to get in trouble.
02:27But the stranger refused to let her be mistreated and reminded her that he was strong.
02:31He wanted to compete on her behalf.
02:32They warned him that only one carving attempt remained.
02:35Still, the stranger confidently said one was enough to win.
02:39The rival mocked him endlessly and vowed that if the stranger won, he would publicly recognize him as his father.
02:44The stranger coldly replied that he didn't need such recognition.
02:48Then he pulled out his carving knife and made a slanted cut on the stone.
02:51At first, the stone showed no reaction.
02:53Everyone started laughing.
02:54But in the next second, the stone suddenly began to vibrate.
