WEBVTT

01:27.600 --> 01:30.960
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:57.240 --> 01:58.679
Your Lordship!

01:58.759 --> 01:59.640
Your Lordship.

02:01.199 --> 02:02.800
What is this?

02:02.880 --> 02:04.119
What happened?

02:06.800 --> 02:07.880
I killed him.

02:08.720 --> 02:09.840
What?

02:13.320 --> 02:14.720
I killed him.

02:16.400 --> 02:19.880
Your Lordship,
even if you wish to help Ming Yi,

02:19.959 --> 02:22.200
you must look after yourself.

02:29.040 --> 02:30.320
I'm fine, Fuyue.

02:31.359 --> 02:34.200
Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine.

02:35.040 --> 02:36.160
Come on.

02:39.760 --> 02:40.920
Your Lordship,

02:41.000 --> 02:44.320
you've opposed Mu Qibai
time and again for Ming Yi's sake.

02:45.000 --> 02:47.400
I fear you've already
become a thorn in his side.

02:48.320 --> 02:50.799
Mu Qibai has more than one enemy.

02:52.880 --> 02:55.040
The enemy of my enemy is a friend.

02:55.560 --> 02:57.079
Since that's the case,

02:59.760 --> 03:02.120
I'll lend this friend a hand.

03:22.200 --> 03:25.280
The Judgment Hall reports
that you abducted Fairy Ming Yi

03:25.359 --> 03:27.040
and even carried out a private punishment.

03:27.120 --> 03:28.200
Is that true?

03:28.840 --> 03:32.640
Through investigation, I discovered
that Ming Yi carried spiritual veins,

03:32.720 --> 03:34.239
and Ji Bozai concealed and sheltered her,

03:34.920 --> 03:36.720
so, naturally,
I had to get to the bottom of it.

03:36.799 --> 03:39.040
It's true she has spiritual veins,

03:39.640 --> 03:42.239
but the one who covered
up for her wasn't Ji Bozai.

03:42.320 --> 03:43.160
It was me.

03:43.760 --> 03:45.880
I've long intended for her
to serve at Shouhua Academy.

03:45.959 --> 03:46.880
Absurd!

03:48.720 --> 03:51.079
A fairy born
with spiritual veins is a jinx,

03:51.160 --> 03:53.560
yet you want to bring her
into Shouhua Academy?

03:54.160 --> 03:56.760
Such a foolish rule
should have been broken long ago.

03:57.959 --> 04:01.560
Soon, as the Venerable
of Shouhua Academy, I will decree

04:02.440 --> 04:04.519
that all women within Jixing Abyss
who bear spiritual veins

04:04.600 --> 04:06.040
need not hide any longer

04:06.119 --> 04:07.720
and may compete to be warriors.

04:09.160 --> 04:12.480
Uncle, instead of worrying
about such a trivial matter,

04:12.560 --> 04:14.399
perhaps you should explain

04:15.239 --> 04:18.360
why a charred corpse found in this case

04:18.440 --> 04:21.120
came from Zhushui Spiritual State.

04:22.960 --> 04:24.320
He's dead?

04:25.000 --> 04:25.880
Who

04:27.159 --> 04:28.200
was he?

04:29.760 --> 04:32.880
Whoever he was,
it's not your place to question me.

04:34.880 --> 04:39.080
Then never mind… the corpse.

04:39.680 --> 04:41.800
But think about this, Uncle.

04:41.880 --> 04:46.440
Why did the Judgment Hall
report this matter to me so quickly today?

04:48.760 --> 04:50.039
Uncle,

04:52.960 --> 04:56.919
Jixing Abyss
is no longer yours to control alone.

05:12.440 --> 05:14.719
Uncle Qibai is growing ever more brazen,

05:15.400 --> 05:17.240
even consorting with people
from Zhushui Spiritual State.

05:18.760 --> 05:21.360
Your Highness, what should we do next?

05:22.080 --> 05:25.479
Now that the Judgment Hall
no longer obeys Lord Hanfeng,

05:26.000 --> 05:27.880
can we not accuse him directly?

05:30.080 --> 05:34.440
Though he is no longer what he once was,
it's still not easy to bring him down.

05:35.760 --> 05:37.840
We must awaken my father,

05:40.320 --> 05:41.320
no matter

05:43.400 --> 05:44.919
what it takes.

05:49.440 --> 05:51.880
You really don't understand your master.

05:51.960 --> 05:54.240
He'd never turn his back on Ming Yi.

05:54.320 --> 05:55.640
You're so loud.

05:56.440 --> 05:58.960
Last night, His Lordship
took your master's fiancée

05:59.039 --> 06:00.520
to the hot springs to heal and keep warm.

06:00.599 --> 06:03.520
Instead of gossiping here,
you'd better keep an eye out

06:03.599 --> 06:05.880
before your master
ends up getting cheated on.

06:05.960 --> 06:09.359
I can't be bothered.
It's not me who'll get cheated on.

06:18.200 --> 06:19.080
Th-Thanks.

06:20.120 --> 06:22.280
You may dislike us most of the time,

06:22.359 --> 06:25.320
but knowing the danger, you went with me
to Dragon Carp Terrace to rescue them.

06:26.000 --> 06:27.280
You're actually a decent person,

06:27.960 --> 06:30.840
loyal when it counts.

06:34.320 --> 06:35.799
If you had gone alone and been caught,

06:35.880 --> 06:38.200
you might not have withstood the torture
and revealed secrets about Wugui Sea.

06:38.280 --> 06:40.960
That would've brought
real trouble upon His Lordship.

06:41.039 --> 06:43.080
Besides, when His Lordship was struck
by the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop,

06:43.159 --> 06:44.560
Fairy Ming Yi helped us.

06:45.240 --> 06:47.280
So, by that reckoning, I owe her one.

06:48.840 --> 06:52.400
Then by your logic,
since you helped me beat Sun Liao,

06:52.479 --> 06:54.200
I owe you a favor too.

06:54.840 --> 06:55.919
-No need…
-How about this?

06:56.000 --> 06:57.560
I'll grant you three wishes.

06:59.200 --> 07:01.479
No need. Don't make a big deal out of it.

07:07.120 --> 07:09.960
Tell you what. For the first wish,
I'll go fishing with you.

07:10.039 --> 07:12.359
Sounds like you're the one
who wants to fish.

07:12.440 --> 07:15.280
And don't you dare
steal my dried fish again.

07:15.880 --> 07:18.440
Fine. That counts as the second wish.

07:18.960 --> 07:20.000
What?

07:23.440 --> 07:25.640
Very well.
Then you'll buy the fishing rods.

07:54.680 --> 07:57.080
I just sent a message to Master She,

07:57.159 --> 07:59.679
asking him to study
the Soul-seizing Technique

07:59.760 --> 08:01.159
to see if it can suppress
the Heavenly Grief,

08:02.039 --> 08:03.280
since you used your spiritual veins

08:03.359 --> 08:04.880
but didn't suffer
any aftereffects this time.

08:06.239 --> 08:08.479
Thank you for worrying about me.

08:08.560 --> 08:10.359
Why are you being so polite? You…

08:13.640 --> 08:14.919
What's wrong?

08:19.120 --> 08:22.280
Ming Yi, no matter how much you like him,

08:23.159 --> 08:24.560
stay focused on what truly matters.

08:25.359 --> 08:27.239
You have only one life.

08:27.840 --> 08:28.919
True.

08:29.840 --> 08:31.640
If one dies,

08:31.719 --> 08:33.880
any amount of love won't matter.

08:35.240 --> 08:37.400
When I finally steal
the Golden Millet Dream,

08:38.840 --> 08:41.919
he'll think I've been
lying to him all along

08:43.360 --> 08:45.000
and will hate me for it.

08:46.920 --> 08:48.120
And everything will be over.

08:52.199 --> 08:54.360
He's always been cold and decisive.

08:55.319 --> 08:57.280
It won't take long for him to get over me.

09:05.560 --> 09:06.760
It won't.

09:48.480 --> 09:49.480
Master.

09:57.480 --> 09:59.000
After everything that's happened,

10:02.640 --> 10:05.959
I find myself no longer concerned
about her past.

10:07.959 --> 10:11.959
Her true identity no longer matters to me.

10:13.160 --> 10:14.400
As long as I know

10:15.640 --> 10:17.280
she truly cares about me,

10:18.480 --> 10:19.439
that is enough.

10:22.360 --> 10:23.760
Whatever the future holds,

10:25.040 --> 10:26.120
I trust her.

10:55.880 --> 10:57.920
Your Lordship, though you've refined
the netherbeast core successfully,

10:58.719 --> 11:01.040
your body is also weakened by it.

11:01.120 --> 11:02.920
Please take care of yourself.

11:16.680 --> 11:18.480
Don't worry. I know my limits.

11:20.959 --> 11:25.360
Sun Liao, Jixing Abyss
had no chance in the first place.

11:27.079 --> 11:31.240
If not for the miasma of the Sunken Abyss
perfect for breeding netherbeasts,

11:31.319 --> 11:34.000
Father would never have entrusted
such an important task to Lord Hanfeng.

11:36.040 --> 11:38.040
Now, the netherbeast army is gone,

11:38.120 --> 11:42.880
and my elder brother has died
so strangely in Jixing Abyss.

11:42.959 --> 11:47.199
How am I supposed
to explain this to Father?

11:47.280 --> 11:49.560
Your Lordship…

11:50.079 --> 11:52.560
Please, I beg you
to keep this matter secret!

11:52.640 --> 11:54.760
Look, your father has so many sons.

11:55.640 --> 11:58.640
If they all stay alive,
how could he ever value you?

11:59.520 --> 12:01.160
Don't you think so?

12:05.600 --> 12:07.439
In our realm, brothers
and friends respect each other.

12:07.520 --> 12:09.520
But lowlifes like you
have corrupted our relationship.

12:10.560 --> 12:13.160
Anyway, since the netherbeasts
have already been refined by Ji Bozai,

12:13.240 --> 12:15.240
it's time for your realm to fall.

12:16.360 --> 12:20.040
Let's start with you.

12:26.480 --> 12:27.959
Your Lordship, spare me!

12:28.040 --> 12:28.959
Please spare me!

12:29.040 --> 12:33.439
In fact, Lord Hanfeng
still has a trick up his sleeve.

12:33.520 --> 12:36.439
He's secretly kept
an unformed netherbeast.

12:44.400 --> 12:46.959
Chao Yu hasn't returned
to Zhushui for so long,

12:47.040 --> 12:49.079
so Father sent me
to check on the situation.

12:50.360 --> 12:51.839
But who would've thought?

12:51.920 --> 12:53.199
Chao Yu actually died.

13:00.719 --> 13:02.079
What is this awful tea?

13:06.480 --> 13:08.520
Anyway, this is a simple matter.

13:08.599 --> 13:12.959
I can just go back and say
that to form a netherbeast army,

13:13.040 --> 13:16.560
my elder brother unexpectedly
exhausted his spiritual power

13:16.640 --> 13:19.160
and decided to make
the ultimate sacrifice.

13:19.760 --> 13:20.760
Touching, isn't it?

13:21.480 --> 13:23.800
This will make a great story to tell!

13:24.400 --> 13:27.120
It will also solve a big problem for you.

13:29.959 --> 13:34.240
I appreciate your kindness, Your Lordship,
but I'm afraid I don't understand.

13:34.959 --> 13:36.839
The netherbeasts
have been refined by Ji Bozai

13:36.920 --> 13:38.199
and disappeared from the world.

13:38.280 --> 13:39.560
How can we come up

13:39.640 --> 13:41.839
with a satisfying explanation
to your father?

13:41.920 --> 13:43.280
Even now,

13:44.880 --> 13:46.319
you are still lying.

13:48.640 --> 13:50.079
Sun Liao already confessed.

13:55.240 --> 13:56.079
Listen carefully.

13:57.040 --> 13:58.880
Hand over the netherbeast you've hidden.

13:58.959 --> 14:02.959
Only then can I cover for you
in front of Father.

14:09.120 --> 14:12.640
Your Lordship, you listen carefully.

14:13.400 --> 14:15.599
The beast is in my hands.

14:15.680 --> 14:19.040
If you want my help,
you should say "please".

14:20.160 --> 14:21.160
"Please"?

14:24.640 --> 14:27.199
-You…!
-Do you even know how to use

14:27.280 --> 14:28.400
what I have?

14:31.439 --> 14:33.439
If you cooperate with me

14:33.520 --> 14:37.240
and pin everything on that mute corpse,

14:38.240 --> 14:41.280
once my great cause is accomplished,

14:42.079 --> 14:46.760
everything in Jixing Abyss
will be credited to you.

14:52.160 --> 14:56.120
Then you'd better hurry.
Father doesn't have my patience.

14:57.599 --> 14:58.839
Where's the "please"?

15:03.719 --> 15:06.319
Please hurry.

15:11.839 --> 15:14.079
Ming Yi, how are you feeling now?

15:15.240 --> 15:18.439
I'm fine. Thank you
for your concern, Immortal Situ.

15:19.000 --> 15:21.680
But I'm curious.

15:21.760 --> 15:24.360
How did you know about it so quickly?

15:25.280 --> 15:26.920
Even Princess Tianji and the others came.

15:27.000 --> 15:28.520
I just regret I couldn't come sooner.

15:31.760 --> 15:35.760
By the barrier, they found
a body that couldn't be identified.

15:35.839 --> 15:37.520
The Judgment Hall has examined it,

15:38.319 --> 15:40.839
but we still can't confirm its identity.

15:44.439 --> 15:47.920
Was there a wound
on the wrist of that body?

15:48.640 --> 15:50.599
I didn't see the person's face,

15:50.680 --> 15:54.479
but I saw a cut on his wrist.

15:55.640 --> 15:58.120
Yes, there was indeed.

15:58.199 --> 15:59.359
Right?

15:59.880 --> 16:04.599
But I heard the body was burned
into a charred skeleton by magic.

16:04.680 --> 16:08.280
Immortal Situ, how could you tell
there was a wound on his wrist?

16:10.959 --> 16:12.319
Perhaps…

16:36.240 --> 16:37.400
Ming Yi,

16:38.959 --> 16:40.359
if I didn't kill him,

16:42.599 --> 16:44.359
he would've killed you.

17:01.240 --> 17:04.440
She cares about me after all.

17:19.879 --> 17:21.919
NOTICE: THE SOUL-HIDING NAIL LAW FOR WOMEN
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED IN JIXING ABYSS

17:22.000 --> 17:23.919
From now on, women
with spiritual veins in Jixing Abyss

17:24.000 --> 17:25.159
don't need to have
Soul-hiding Nails anymore!

17:25.240 --> 17:28.240
That's great! Does this mean
there will be female warriors?

17:28.319 --> 17:29.720
The Princess did a great thing!

17:31.120 --> 17:33.320
-Madam, I'll take this one.
-All right. Thank you.

17:37.320 --> 17:40.159
Zhang Tai, you were gravely injured.

17:40.240 --> 17:41.879
Are you really okay now?

17:41.960 --> 17:45.120
Don't worry.
Princess Tianji treated my wounds.

17:45.200 --> 17:47.600
You also had your young friend,
Twenty-Seven, send me medicine,

17:47.680 --> 17:48.720
and I took it.

17:48.800 --> 17:51.480
I've never felt better.

17:51.560 --> 17:52.760
Don't worry about me.

17:53.360 --> 17:55.440
-Madam, I'll take this too.
-Sure.

17:55.520 --> 17:57.159
-It was all my fault.
-Thank you.

17:57.240 --> 17:59.560
If something serious
had happened to you, I really…

17:59.639 --> 18:00.639
Don't say that.

18:02.159 --> 18:07.399
By the way, did you notice
anything different about me today?

18:09.040 --> 18:13.240
You've applied red blush
and painted your eyebrows dark green.

18:13.919 --> 18:15.639
No, it's not that.

18:15.720 --> 18:18.120
Look, I can use spiritual veins now!

18:19.000 --> 18:22.120
After I got injured,
Princess Tianji's people treated me,

18:22.200 --> 18:23.600
and they discovered my Soul-hiding Nail.

18:24.600 --> 18:27.960
They asked if I wanted it removed,
and, of course, I said yes.

18:28.040 --> 18:31.280
So now, I also have spiritual veins!

18:32.159 --> 18:34.760
Although I can't break through
to a higher stage,

18:34.840 --> 18:36.560
my cultivation has still improved a lot.

18:37.159 --> 18:39.600
In the future, making hairpins
will be much easier for me.

18:40.280 --> 18:42.800
It must've hurt a lot
to remove the nail, right?

18:44.159 --> 18:46.679
At least now you can do what you love.

18:48.760 --> 18:50.840
All right, you've seen me.

18:50.919 --> 18:52.280
Now hurry back.

18:52.360 --> 18:54.280
Immortal Ji has been waiting
for you for so long.

18:59.639 --> 19:02.240
What's going on between you two?

19:03.159 --> 19:05.040
Oh, please don't ask.

19:05.120 --> 19:07.280
I don't want to lie to you,
but I can't tell you either.

19:07.360 --> 19:08.360
I…

19:08.440 --> 19:11.200
Actually, I've known for a long time
that you have many secrets.

19:11.280 --> 19:12.159
I don't want to ask about them,

19:13.120 --> 19:16.720
but I can tell
Immortal Ji really likes you

19:17.240 --> 19:18.919
and treats you well.

19:20.639 --> 19:23.879
Of course, that doesn't matter.
What matters is how you feel.

19:24.879 --> 19:28.440
You like him too, don't you?

19:32.560 --> 19:33.720
Yes.

19:34.440 --> 19:38.000
Despite everything, I've fallen for him.

19:39.679 --> 19:41.520
But it won't last.

19:42.720 --> 19:44.960
But Ming Yi, you know what?

19:45.040 --> 19:47.600
In this world,
moments of happiness are rare.

19:47.679 --> 19:49.800
You may part ways in the future,

19:49.879 --> 19:53.080
but you still feel overjoyed
to see him now, don't you?

19:55.840 --> 19:57.919
Madam, please wrap this up for me.

19:58.000 --> 19:58.879
Sure.

21:02.200 --> 21:03.520
It seems you're unwilling to do it.

21:04.879 --> 21:07.159
No worries. I won't force you.

21:07.919 --> 21:12.480
After all, even if you don't do it,
I have other ways to get it done.

21:16.080 --> 21:17.679
But once it's done,

21:17.760 --> 21:21.360
I will still tell everyone
that you did it.

21:23.840 --> 21:25.320
You must be joking, Lord Hanfeng.

21:26.000 --> 21:28.720
I am but a humble physician
with little skill.

21:28.800 --> 21:32.480
If you spread such a story,
no one will believe it.

21:34.280 --> 21:35.760
How could that be?

21:36.399 --> 21:38.520
That's exactly what makes it believable.

21:39.440 --> 21:40.879
You, a humble physician

21:40.960 --> 21:43.720
with little skill,
chose to serve me for your own good.

21:44.600 --> 21:45.840
Then one day,

21:45.919 --> 21:49.159
you made your move against
the Emperor to pledge your loyalty.

21:50.360 --> 21:52.879
Doesn't that sound reasonable?

21:55.560 --> 21:58.280
Since you'll end up the culprit anyway,

22:00.200 --> 22:05.040
why not just do it
and take full credit for it?

23:35.240 --> 23:37.200
Immortal Yan,
the Princess wants to see you.

23:46.439 --> 23:48.720
JADE RABBIT HALL

23:50.159 --> 23:52.120
Immortal Yan, please go over there.

24:13.720 --> 24:18.520
SERENE BEYOND

24:56.040 --> 24:56.919
Your Highness.

25:00.679 --> 25:03.360
Your Highness,
why have you called for me today?

25:03.879 --> 25:06.439
I'm feeling unwell,

25:07.080 --> 25:10.199
so I want you to check on me.

25:10.280 --> 25:11.960
You look fine.

25:12.560 --> 25:13.720
How could you be unwell?

25:14.360 --> 25:15.560
I had a nightmare.

25:16.560 --> 25:18.320
I dreamt that you killed my father,

25:22.240 --> 25:24.120
and it left me unsettled.

25:38.080 --> 25:39.439
Your pulse is rapid and tense.

25:39.520 --> 25:41.159
I don't think the nightmare caused it.

25:41.960 --> 25:42.879
It's more like you are…

25:45.840 --> 25:47.080
nervous.

25:50.040 --> 25:51.679
Why would I be nervous?

26:06.240 --> 26:08.480
I think you are the one who's nervous.

26:12.360 --> 26:14.159
Did Your Highness
summon me just to tease me?

26:16.040 --> 26:17.199
You may leave now.

26:27.840 --> 26:28.879
Father!

26:41.000 --> 26:42.480
Your Highness, give it back to me.

26:42.560 --> 26:44.480
What do you mean?

26:44.560 --> 26:45.720
I don't understand.

26:46.360 --> 26:49.879
You can play dumb now,
but I will report to Lord Hanfeng

26:50.600 --> 26:53.800
and sabotage whatever you plan to do.

27:01.199 --> 27:03.280
Then go ahead and tell my uncle.

27:04.080 --> 27:05.520
I will say

27:07.120 --> 27:08.520
that you gave it to me willingly.

27:09.840 --> 27:11.040
Take a guess.

27:11.600 --> 27:15.919
With you leaving
my Jade Rabbit Hall at midnight

27:16.800 --> 27:17.879
and me

27:20.199 --> 27:21.520
looking so disheveled,

27:22.960 --> 27:24.560
who will he believe?

27:31.480 --> 27:32.360
Your Highness,

27:35.040 --> 27:36.760
do you know what you're doing?

27:39.520 --> 27:41.120
Do you think I'm too afraid to act?

27:51.080 --> 27:53.159
I just miss my father too much.

27:54.800 --> 27:56.280
What's wrong with that?

27:57.879 --> 27:59.720
I will return it to you.

28:00.360 --> 28:02.320
No one will know what happened.

28:05.879 --> 28:07.800
Just help me this once.

28:10.879 --> 28:12.080
Just once.

28:12.760 --> 28:15.000
Please, Xiao?

28:19.879 --> 28:20.879
Why?

28:21.399 --> 28:23.679
Why are you doing this? I trusted you!

28:25.399 --> 28:26.360
You know full well

28:26.439 --> 28:30.240
that Uncle Qibai caused
my father's unconsciousness.

28:31.399 --> 28:34.560
He only assigned you
to monitor my father's condition

28:34.639 --> 28:38.120
so you could keep him unconscious!

28:41.040 --> 28:42.600
I know

28:43.280 --> 28:46.959
most of Jixing Abyss
now follows Uncle Qibai's orders

28:47.040 --> 28:50.600
because he can offer them
a path to power and keep them safe.

28:50.679 --> 28:51.800
But that's their choice.

28:51.879 --> 28:54.639
I don't care about what they choose.

28:54.720 --> 28:56.159
But you can't do this to me.

28:56.240 --> 28:59.280
Why are you doing this?
You can't do this to me!

29:08.639 --> 29:11.120
Fine. I'll only ask one thing of you.

29:11.720 --> 29:15.720
Sooner or later,
Uncle Qibai will take my father's life.

29:16.959 --> 29:18.480
When that day comes,

29:19.360 --> 29:21.480
please help me keep my father alive.

29:21.560 --> 29:23.959
Will you do it for me?

29:25.000 --> 29:27.879
I'm begging you, Xiao.

29:31.720 --> 29:34.439
Your Highness, you've overestimated me.

29:35.320 --> 29:37.720
Yes, Lord Hanfeng made me
His Majesty's physician,

29:38.520 --> 29:40.520
but if he wants His Majesty dead,

29:41.560 --> 29:45.280
what right do I have to oppose his will?

29:53.280 --> 29:55.399
I never thought

29:57.600 --> 29:59.360
you'd be

30:01.800 --> 30:04.199
so despicable and shameless,

30:06.679 --> 30:08.720
only following the wind to gain favor.

30:10.959 --> 30:12.879
You're truly pathetic.

30:38.959 --> 30:40.240
I don't know anything.

30:41.639 --> 30:42.840
I never came here.

31:10.480 --> 31:12.399
GRANNY'S EATERY

31:28.080 --> 31:29.320
It's ready. It smells great.

31:29.399 --> 31:31.800
Here, Wheat,
take it to the table over there.

31:37.879 --> 31:40.159
Sir, here's your scallion pancake.

31:40.240 --> 31:41.399
Please enjoy.

31:42.600 --> 31:43.840
He's all you can see, huh?

31:44.800 --> 31:45.840
Madam.

31:46.439 --> 31:47.600
You've grown taller.

31:48.159 --> 31:49.719
Go on. Go back to work.

32:05.000 --> 32:08.800
Since you refined the netherbeast core,
Mu Qibai has been lying low.

32:08.879 --> 32:11.919
-I suspect he's up to something.
-Be patient.

32:12.000 --> 32:14.320
He's in the shadows,
but we're not necessarily in the light.

32:14.399 --> 32:16.439
I've had Buxiu keep an eye on Mu Qibai.

32:16.520 --> 32:18.760
We'll find out
what he's up to sooner or later.

32:31.040 --> 32:34.679
You said you brought me here
to discuss matters,

32:34.760 --> 32:37.560
but I feel like it's just an excuse.

32:39.560 --> 32:40.600
Really?

32:42.679 --> 32:43.719
In fact,

32:44.760 --> 32:48.520
that night, I was under the influence
of the Soul-seizing Technique.

32:48.600 --> 32:49.760
That's why I said things I shouldn't have.

32:49.840 --> 32:51.399
Shouldn't we talk about serious matters?

32:51.919 --> 32:53.639
Otherwise, it'll seem like
I'm really after something else.

33:35.399 --> 33:37.760
Father, you're awake.

33:44.120 --> 33:45.679
Why have you lost weight?

33:47.159 --> 33:48.159
In my dreams,

33:49.560 --> 33:52.800
I kept catching you stealing candy.

33:58.919 --> 33:59.919
That's not true.

34:10.199 --> 34:14.319
Lord Ji, you suffered greatly
refining the netherbeast core.

34:14.400 --> 34:18.319
The netherbeasts must
have undermined your will, right?

34:27.839 --> 34:32.799
They had been trying to tempt me
into accepting their power.

34:34.080 --> 34:37.400
The netherbeasts are indeed tempting.

34:37.480 --> 34:39.480
Whether it's Mu Qibai or the other realms,

34:39.560 --> 34:41.759
none would willingly give up that power.

34:42.839 --> 34:44.799
Without a strong will,

34:44.880 --> 34:46.719
one would surely be corrupted
by the netherbeast core.

34:47.799 --> 34:49.120
Luckily, it was you.

34:53.239 --> 34:54.440
Luckily, it was me?

34:55.440 --> 34:56.880
Do you trust me that much?

35:03.279 --> 35:05.360
Immortal Ji, His Majesty summons you.

35:18.240 --> 35:19.759
BENEVOLENCE, KINDNESS
WISDOM AND PROPRIETY

35:26.839 --> 35:28.120
Greetings, Your Majesty.

35:33.040 --> 35:36.720
You don't seem surprised
to have been summoned so suddenly.

35:37.799 --> 35:41.400
Of course not.
I've been waiting for this day.

35:43.600 --> 35:47.960
Tianji somehow cured
the illness that afflicted me.

35:48.040 --> 35:50.520
Her Highness must have sensed the danger

35:51.839 --> 35:53.319
and feared Your Majesty might be harmed.

35:54.000 --> 35:54.960
Harmed?

35:58.319 --> 35:59.600
Are you talking about Lord Hanfeng?

36:00.520 --> 36:02.080
While Your Majesty lay unconscious,

36:02.880 --> 36:06.200
Lord Hanfeng's intentions
became clear to all.

36:07.040 --> 36:09.839
Your Majesty, you must've heard
I refined the netherbeast core

36:10.759 --> 36:13.520
and sensed Lord Hanfeng's moves.

36:14.120 --> 36:17.920
Do you now see how urgent it is

36:18.520 --> 36:19.960
to root out these hidden dangers?

36:24.480 --> 36:25.960
I beg you to be resolute.

36:38.200 --> 36:41.400
Bai is my only brother.

36:42.279 --> 36:44.640
Of course, I know what he wants.

36:46.240 --> 36:48.640
He's impatient and often plots against me.

36:49.360 --> 36:52.200
He even sent a physician
to keep watch over me.

36:52.279 --> 36:54.400
I know very well what he's been up to.

36:55.400 --> 36:56.400
But when I remember

36:56.480 --> 36:59.400
how naive and innocent
this younger brother of mine once was,

37:00.319 --> 37:02.000
I can't bring myself to be harsh.

37:02.799 --> 37:05.600
But never… Never did I expect…

37:05.680 --> 37:07.839
Never did you expect him
to be so driven by greed,

37:08.720 --> 37:10.480
colluding with Zhushui Spiritual State,

37:10.560 --> 37:12.040
breeding netherbeasts,

37:12.120 --> 37:14.240
and endangering the Six Realms.

37:16.400 --> 37:20.160
You have done much for Jixing Abyss,
and I'm deeply grateful.

37:20.240 --> 37:22.440
But the netherbeast army
was a direct threat

37:22.520 --> 37:24.040
to the Six Realms.

37:24.120 --> 37:26.839
Yet you handled it alone
and did not report it.

37:27.720 --> 37:28.920
Think of the consequences.

37:30.560 --> 37:32.560
Half of Jixing Abyss follows Lord Hanfeng.

37:32.640 --> 37:35.120
Immortal Ji was only trying
to prevent news from leaking.

37:36.440 --> 37:40.359
Besides, it was precisely because
you once let Uncle Qibai grow strong

37:40.440 --> 37:41.920
that we are in this crisis now.

37:42.640 --> 37:44.720
Under these circumstances,
it was only natural

37:44.799 --> 37:46.000
that Immortal Ji found
Jixing Palace hard to trust.

37:48.200 --> 37:51.359
I swore as a child
to do everything I could

37:51.440 --> 37:53.160
to stop Uncle Qibai
from harming you again.

37:53.680 --> 37:56.120
Now, no one knows what he will do next.

37:57.200 --> 37:58.160
So,

37:59.880 --> 38:01.680
no matter how reluctant you feel,

38:02.960 --> 38:04.279
I ask you

38:05.759 --> 38:08.839
to put Jixing Abyss first
and seize Uncle Qibai at once.

38:14.799 --> 38:16.600
Immortal Ji, I'd also like to ask you

38:17.359 --> 38:21.359
to trust us once more
and join us in protecting Jixing Abyss.

38:24.279 --> 38:26.440
Jixing Palace is indeed hard to trust,

38:27.359 --> 38:32.720
but not all who hold power
are slaves to it.

38:34.080 --> 38:37.920
For the sake of the Six Realms,
I'm willing to unite as many as I can.

38:38.920 --> 38:41.240
But Mu Qibai
has Zhushui Spiritual State behind him.

38:41.319 --> 38:44.440
Alone, we can hardly rival them.

38:46.200 --> 38:49.720
Please, Your Majesty,
think about the people of Jixing Abyss

38:49.799 --> 38:50.920
and order Mu Qibai's arrest.

38:52.319 --> 38:55.080
Please, Father, arrest him at once.

39:04.480 --> 39:06.960
EMBRACE ALL SUMMITS AND SEAS

39:19.520 --> 39:22.960
Yuanfeng, you haven't fully recovered.
You should be resting.

39:23.640 --> 39:26.560
If there's anything you need,
just have someone send word for you.

39:26.640 --> 39:30.240
I've been hearing
many disturbing rumors lately.

39:30.880 --> 39:32.440
Most of them are about you.

39:33.040 --> 39:35.120
Now that my condition has improved,

39:35.759 --> 39:39.120
I'd like to hear
the truth from you directly.

39:40.319 --> 39:41.160
What rumors?

39:41.759 --> 39:46.560
I'm being subtle
because you are my blood brother.

39:48.600 --> 39:51.560
But if you still won't confess
to forming a netherbeast army,

39:52.960 --> 39:55.279
I will have no choice but to take action.

39:55.960 --> 39:57.240
Who made up these rumors?

39:57.319 --> 39:59.240
They're pure fabrications, nonsense!

40:00.160 --> 40:03.359
Yuanfeng, are you going
to believe outsiders

40:03.440 --> 40:04.759
over your own brother?

40:05.359 --> 40:06.440
Qibai,

40:08.400 --> 40:12.680
when did you become like this?

40:17.560 --> 40:18.400
Like what?

40:19.000 --> 40:20.759
You've been fragile since childhood.

40:20.839 --> 40:23.040
You used to be gentle and considerate.

40:24.160 --> 40:27.600
When we trained together back then,
you were so kind.

40:28.200 --> 40:31.759
You'd rather get hurt yourself
than harm others.

40:32.440 --> 40:33.600
"Rather"?

40:34.319 --> 40:36.080
"I'd rather"?

40:37.080 --> 40:39.359
I couldn't, Yuanfeng!

40:40.120 --> 40:44.560
If I'd been a bit stronger,
I wouldn't have always been defeated.

40:45.600 --> 40:48.759
If my elder brother
had been a bit more decisive,

40:48.839 --> 40:51.600
we wouldn't have been constantly
hindered by those old fools,

40:51.680 --> 40:53.720
unable to clean up the rot!

40:53.799 --> 40:56.240
If you had been a bit more resolute,

40:56.319 --> 40:59.440
Jixing Abyss wouldn't have kept
ending up among the Lower Three Realms!

40:59.520 --> 41:04.680
And even now, you, my incompetent brother,

41:05.319 --> 41:10.880
are still reminiscing about my so-called
kindness, gentleness, and mercy.

41:15.200 --> 41:17.520
You don't deserve
to sit in this chair at all!

41:24.600 --> 41:29.759
Yuanfeng, Jixing Abyss won't fall
because of the netherbeast army.

41:30.759 --> 41:33.920
It will fall because of people like you.

41:56.120 --> 41:57.560
Chao Yu is dead.

41:58.240 --> 42:00.600
The news of the nameless
charred corpse at Dragon Carp Terrace

42:00.680 --> 42:02.160
has already spread far and wide.

42:02.880 --> 42:05.080
The Emperor of Zhushui
will surely investigate thoroughly.

42:05.839 --> 42:07.279
Your Lordship, be careful.

42:07.359 --> 42:08.759
Don't let them find out.

42:10.080 --> 42:12.720
Don't worry. I won't.

42:14.200 --> 42:19.520
To outsiders,
Mu Qibai is the one who last saw Chao Yu.

42:20.240 --> 42:23.000
He is the perfect scapegoat.

42:23.080 --> 42:25.759
Besides, with the netherbeasts
refined by Ji Bozai,

42:25.839 --> 42:27.960
Mu Qibai no longer has value to them.

42:28.040 --> 42:29.080
They won't let him off.

42:30.960 --> 42:33.839
Today, the Emperor
of Jixing detained Mu Qibai.

42:35.759 --> 42:37.319
-Today?
-Yes.

42:38.240 --> 42:40.080
It hasn't been officially announced.

42:40.160 --> 42:41.279
It seems that Ji Bozai

42:42.160 --> 42:44.600
has gained the upper hand
in this game after all.

42:49.160 --> 42:50.920
How could it have gone so smoothly?
me after all.
