Regardless, the villagers still consider Yang Lu Chan to be something of a buffoon – particularly Chen Yu Niang, who insists that he call her “master!” But when Fang Zi Jing returns with a powerful military force, replete with heavily armed soldiers, a flying machine, and cannons backing him up, the village is once again under threat.
