00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.960 align:center
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.039 align:center
-Show me your hand.
-What for?

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.839 align:center
I didn't do anything wrong today.

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:48.160 align:center
If I wanted to hit you,
would I go for your hand?

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:04.679 align:center
-What is it?
-Strange.

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:07.479 align:center
After your trip to Zhangwei Mountain,

00:02:07.559 --> 00:02:10.280 align:center
the Heavenly Grief in you
stopped spreading.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.799 align:center
Sometimes I can't even detect it at all.

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.400 align:center
-Now this hand.
-Really?

00:02:19.079 --> 00:02:20.920 align:center
Could the feng shui
at the Bo clan's ancestral home

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.720 align:center
have somehow helped me?

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:27.040 align:center
You might be right.

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.120 align:center
The Bo clan

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:32.840 align:center
created both the Heavenly Grief
and the Golden Millet Dream.

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:34.720 align:center
And Fairy Bo herself was your…

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:36.359 align:center
My what?

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:38.560 align:center
Your benefactor,

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:40.840 align:center
of course.

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:43.120 align:center
She gave you
the Golden Millet Dream recipe.

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:45.720 align:center
Even if we still need to find
the Diwu tree's core,

00:02:45.799 --> 00:02:48.320 align:center
the fact that she gave you the recipe
already makes her your benefactor.

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:55.880 align:center
It's a pity Ji Bozai destroyed
the Golden Millet Dream.

00:02:55.959 --> 00:02:57.120 align:center
Otherwise…

00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:59.519 align:center
It's not over yet.

00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:02.280 align:center
Though the Diwu tree's core
hasn't been seen for ages,

00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:04.120 align:center
the Bo clan still managed to make

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:06.400 align:center
the Golden Millet Dream
and the Heavenly Grief a century ago.

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:09.200 align:center
Since the Golden Millet Dream
Ji Bozai had was made by Fairy Bo Yulan,

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.920 align:center
she must have found a core.

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:13.720 align:center
That's my disciple. Smart as ever.

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:15.600 align:center
If they could find it, why can't we?

00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:18.720 align:center
What matters most is the Diwu tree's core.

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:21.880 align:center
The rest of the ingredients,
like Ostrich Rat, mesona,

00:03:21.959 --> 00:03:23.200 align:center
and turtle shells,

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.120 align:center
are easy to get.

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:27.239 align:center
Ming Yi, don't worry.

00:03:27.320 --> 00:03:30.239 align:center
-With me here, there's nothing to fear.
-I know.

00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:31.280 align:center
When you're here, Master,

00:03:31.359 --> 00:03:33.160 align:center
I feel safer
than when my father was around.

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:40.480 align:center
What's wrong?

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:46.880 align:center
You're getting more sentimental

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.000 align:center
with age, aren't you?

00:03:49.079 --> 00:03:51.359 align:center
If you want to cry, go ahead.
Here, my shoulder's free.

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:56.160 align:center
What are you doing? I'm your master.

00:03:56.239 --> 00:03:57.399 align:center
Show some respect.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.440 align:center
If we really manage to make
the Golden Millet Dream,

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:04.440 align:center
I'll not only reenter
the Qingyun Tournament,

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:06.239 align:center
but I'll also win it
for another seven years.

00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:11.399 align:center
Is this the time
to be thinking about that?

00:04:14.399 --> 00:04:15.640 align:center
But you're right.

00:04:16.159 --> 00:04:17.240 align:center
No matter how hard it is,

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:19.680 align:center
we'll find those ingredients.

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.719 align:center
I can't stand
watching you suffer any longer.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.200 align:center
Show some respect.

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.280 align:center
You cheeky brat.

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.800 align:center
The last ingredient for the Golden
Millet Dream is the Diwu tree's core?

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:44.560 align:center
How could we possibly find that?

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:47.159 align:center
The Diwu tree's core
has vanished from the world,

00:04:48.919 --> 00:04:50.880 align:center
but I can't just watch her die.

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.840 align:center
Fuyue,

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.280 align:center
the Yousu Fox Tribe can seal a primordial
spirit within an Illusory Realm,

00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:00.599 align:center
which is considered a form of immortality.

00:05:01.719 --> 00:05:02.800 align:center
So, I wonder.

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:04.880 align:center
Could this technique

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.840 align:center
be used to keep Ming Yi alive for now?

00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:11.880 align:center
Have you lost your mind, Your Lordship?

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.000 align:center
You know full well

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:16.599 align:center
that using the technique like that

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.159 align:center
inflicts burning pain to the bone.
One mistake,

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.760 align:center
and you'll lose your mind completely!

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:25.680 align:center
You're only talking
about the consequences.

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:28.400 align:center
That means

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:31.719 align:center
the method itself can work.

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:33.520 align:center
Am I right?

00:05:42.760 --> 00:05:43.960 align:center
-Please--
-Your Lordship!

00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:51.400 align:center
Please.

00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:55.840 align:center
I'm begging you.

00:05:57.479 --> 00:05:58.599 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:10.200 align:center
This fox spell can lure souls
into an Illusory Realm.

00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:13.640 align:center
It can strip a being
of their three souls and seven senses

00:06:13.719 --> 00:06:15.000 align:center
and weave an Illusory Realm.

00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:18.159 align:center
Within that Illusory Realm,
the spell can be reversed

00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.280 align:center
to extend her life
with someone else's lifespan.

00:06:22.359 --> 00:06:25.000 align:center
I can capture some wandering spirits
without families.

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:27.680 align:center
They have no ties in this world.

00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:30.960 align:center
Killing them won't cause any trouble.

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:32.320 align:center
We can't do that.

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:35.479 align:center
If I stain my hands
with the blood of the innocent,

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.400 align:center
Ming Yi will never forgive me,

00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:39.520 align:center
and I'll lose any chance
of a future with her.

00:06:39.599 --> 00:06:40.640 align:center
Even now,

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:42.960 align:center
Your Lordship still can't bring yourself

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:45.000 align:center
to lie to her?

00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:46.640 align:center
This is my only wish.

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:48.680 align:center
I have deceived her before

00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:51.280 align:center
and done many things I can never undo.

00:06:51.799 --> 00:06:52.799 align:center
But in the end,

00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:55.560 align:center
I must become someone like her

00:06:56.159 --> 00:06:58.400 align:center
to be worthy of standing by her side.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.479 align:center
Three souls and seven senses,
enter the endless Illusory Realm.

00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:56.000 align:center
Burn the heart and refine the blood.
Cross the heavens and the netherworld.

00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:58.120 align:center
With my bare body and organs,

00:07:58.719 --> 00:08:00.120 align:center
I offer all my life's fortune

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.719 align:center
to lengthen her years

00:08:03.239 --> 00:08:04.760 align:center
and extend her life.

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:22.200 align:center
-Ming Yi!
-Immortal Situ.

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.719 align:center
I found a way to save you.

00:08:24.799 --> 00:08:25.880 align:center
Take this medicine.

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:27.320 align:center
What is it?

00:08:27.400 --> 00:08:29.120 align:center
Ming Yi, just take it.

00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:30.679 align:center
Tell me what it is.

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:45.520 align:center
I learned a technique
that refines the blood of my heart.

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.079 align:center
This way,

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:50.760 align:center
I can trade my lifespan for your time.

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.720 align:center
Ming Yi, I told you,

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.920 align:center
I won't let you die.

00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:03.160 align:center
Ming Yi.

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.640 align:center
You…

00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:14.120 align:center
Immortal Situ!

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:16.720 align:center
You…

00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.760 align:center
You're awake.

00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:01.360 align:center
How do you feel?

00:10:02.439 --> 00:10:03.400 align:center
Have some water.

00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:12.640 align:center
Here.

00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:28.040 align:center
Ming Yi, you know

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:30.400 align:center
I did this willingly.

00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:33.120 align:center
Immortal Situ,

00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:35.880 align:center
when I took you
to the Qingyun Tournament years ago,

00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:36.920 align:center
it was just a small favor.

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.480 align:center
Why are you so fixated on it

00:10:41.199 --> 00:10:42.720 align:center
that you went this far for me?

00:10:45.959 --> 00:10:46.800 align:center
Ming Yi,

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.520 align:center
this is the first time

00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:51.760 align:center
you've acknowledged
who you truly are to me.

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.120 align:center
I always knew,

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.600 align:center
but hearing you admit it yourself

00:11:00.719 --> 00:11:01.880 align:center
means so much more.

00:11:04.439 --> 00:11:05.560 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:11:05.640 --> 00:11:08.760 align:center
You see me as your sister,
yet I kept secrets from you.

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.120 align:center
You've held no grudge

00:11:12.199 --> 00:11:13.920 align:center
and helped me again and again.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.240 align:center
I truly don't know how to repay you.

00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:21.719 align:center
In fact, I was already

00:11:24.319 --> 00:11:26.319 align:center
in deep despair back then.

00:11:28.319 --> 00:11:31.000 align:center
If you hadn't taken me
to that Qingyun Tournament,

00:11:32.520 --> 00:11:34.719 align:center
stood on the Totem Platform with my badge,

00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:36.839 align:center
and said those words to me,

00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:40.120 align:center
I don't think I could've kept going.

00:11:43.719 --> 00:11:44.560 align:center
So,

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.160 align:center
no matter how much lifespan it costs,

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:51.560 align:center
I'm willing to give it.

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:53.959 align:center
Ming Yi,

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.719 align:center
without you,

00:11:56.560 --> 00:11:58.640 align:center
I would've given up on my life long ago.

00:11:59.880 --> 00:12:00.920 align:center
So,

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.079 align:center
think of this as me fulfilling my wish.

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:10.120 align:center
This time,

00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:13.880 align:center
let me be the one to keep you alive.

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.600 align:center
You can't make someone else
your purpose in life.

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:23.079 align:center
You should live for yourself.

00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:27.000 align:center
Immortal Situ,

00:12:27.079 --> 00:12:28.920 align:center
in truth, I'm the one who owes you.

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.480 align:center
In that case,

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:32.560 align:center
promise me one thing.

00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:37.800 align:center
I haven't decided what it will be yet,

00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:41.160 align:center
but you'll do

00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:44.400 align:center
whatever I ask for me,

00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:46.880 align:center
won't you?

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:34.760 align:center
Your Lordship!

00:13:36.959 --> 00:13:37.880 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:41.199 align:center
Come.

00:13:47.319 --> 00:13:48.160 align:center
Your Lordship,

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.839 align:center
you're suffering the aftereffects
of reversing the spell.

00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:53.760 align:center
If you give in,
you'll lose your mind completely.

00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:54.680 align:center
Hang in there.

00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:00.880 align:center
Fox blood can ease the pain for now.

00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:02.800 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:14:20.199 --> 00:14:21.120 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:38.120 align:center
It doesn't hurt.

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:44.479 align:center
A CLOUD OF PEAR BLOSSOMS
AND A FORLORN DREAM

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:46.439 align:center
Old Man She! Old Man She!

00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:47.439 align:center
Look! They're back!

00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:50.240 align:center
Just now, they suddenly recovered!

00:14:50.319 --> 00:14:52.439 align:center
-What did you say?
-My spiritual veins! Look!

00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:08.240 align:center
-See?
-All right.

00:15:08.319 --> 00:15:11.319 align:center
-Stop using your spiritual power.
-No, look. They're really back. Look.

00:15:16.439 --> 00:15:18.280 align:center
And the Grief Blossom
isn't showing itself.

00:15:23.959 --> 00:15:24.839 align:center
You're better.

00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:26.599 align:center
You've really recovered.

00:15:27.479 --> 00:15:29.719 align:center
I knew you wouldn't die!

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:32.240 align:center
I was so worried!

00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:37.040 align:center
All right.

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.439 align:center
This is good news. Why are you crying?

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.360 align:center
Did it just ring?

00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.680 align:center
Your spiritual veins have recovered.

00:15:48.760 --> 00:15:51.040 align:center
Of course, Twenty-Seven would sense it.

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.839 align:center
Your companion beast will return soon.

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.520 align:center
A companion beast
comes into being when a cultivator

00:15:56.599 --> 00:15:57.800 align:center
reaches the Transcendent Stage.

00:15:57.880 --> 00:15:59.199 align:center
With your spiritual veins restored,

00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:01.680 align:center
Twenty-Seven's
lingering divine consciousness

00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:02.640 align:center
will also grow stronger gradually.

00:16:02.719 --> 00:16:04.680 align:center
Soon, you'll be able to bring him back.

00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:09.280 align:center
Twenty-Seven.

00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:15.640 align:center
You said Immortal Situ
refined his heart's blood

00:16:15.719 --> 00:16:17.800 align:center
and traded his lifespan for yours?

00:16:19.640 --> 00:16:22.199 align:center
He said it was
a secret technique of his clan.

00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:24.040 align:center
I never knew

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.719 align:center
that Zhushui Spiritual State
had such a powerful clan

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:28.439 align:center
with mastery of such a rare art.

00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:31.079 align:center
He sacrificed so much to save me.

00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.920 align:center
Even if he's keeping secrets from me,
I have no right to question him.

00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:38.040 align:center
To be honest, Immortal Situ
has really treated you well.

00:16:41.359 --> 00:16:44.760 align:center
I owe him so much, I don't even know
how I could ever repay him.

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.719 align:center
Stop thinking about it.
I'll make us something to eat.

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:49.359 align:center
Let's celebrate properly tonight.

00:16:50.359 --> 00:16:51.199 align:center
I'm off.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.599 align:center
-Don't make too much.
-Don't worry.

00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:56.040 align:center
Ming Yi.

00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:00.479 align:center
From the sound of it,

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:02.160 align:center
he only managed to keep you alive for now.

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.280 align:center
What about the Heavenly Grief inside you?

00:17:04.919 --> 00:17:05.760 align:center
How do we get rid of it completely?

00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:13.760 align:center
Still,

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.760 align:center
we should thank Situ Ling properly.

00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:20.280 align:center
Yes. I owe him too much.

00:17:21.879 --> 00:17:23.399 align:center
What do you plan to do next?

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.319 align:center
Master, let's return
to Yaoguang Mountain at once.

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.000 align:center
No way.

00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:31.840 align:center
What are you thinking?
What's in that head…?

00:17:38.399 --> 00:17:39.320 align:center
Ming Yi,

00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:43.720 align:center
right now, Madam Meng and Ming Xin
control Yaoguang Mountain.

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.879 align:center
If you rush back there,
you'll fall straight into their trap.

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.760 align:center
We must first find proof
that Ming Xin used poison

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:52.680 align:center
and reveal what truly happened.

00:17:52.760 --> 00:17:55.440 align:center
Only then can you reclaim
the title of Crown Prince with honor.

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:58.680 align:center
Though Father has named
Ming Xin Crown Prince,

00:17:58.760 --> 00:18:00.399 align:center
the investiture ceremony
hasn't taken place.

00:18:00.919 --> 00:18:03.159 align:center
He still doubts
whether Ming Xin is truly worthy

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.639 align:center
of the position.

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.520 align:center
If Ming Xin fails

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:10.840 align:center
to represent Yaoguang Mountain as
Crown Prince in the two-realm tournament,

00:18:12.639 --> 00:18:14.480 align:center
he'll lose all face.

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.840 align:center
The tea gathering.

00:18:17.159 --> 00:18:18.320 align:center
Before the two-realm tournament,

00:18:18.399 --> 00:18:20.320 align:center
Father plans to test Ming Xin
through the tea gathering.

00:18:35.399 --> 00:18:36.320 align:center
Here, Your Lordship.

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.000 align:center
"My spiritual veins have recovered,
and I am well again.

00:19:01.080 --> 00:19:02.320 align:center
I offer you my deepest thanks.

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:04.960 align:center
I will never forget
the promise I made to you.

00:19:05.040 --> 00:19:06.399 align:center
If you are ever in need,

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.360 align:center
I will come to your aid
without hesitation,

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.720 align:center
no matter what it takes.

00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:11.720 align:center
Ming Yi."

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:14.040 align:center
Your Lordship
has sacrificed so much for her,

00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:16.600 align:center
yet she treats it
merely as a debt of gratitude.

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.440 align:center
Will she treat Ji Bozai the same way?

00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:21.560 align:center
Enough.

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:24.720 align:center
As long as she's safe,
that's all I care about.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.679 align:center
Really?

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.080 align:center
Search your heart, Your Lordship.

00:19:30.879 --> 00:19:34.159 align:center
Do you really only want her to be safe?

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:38.200 align:center
Can someone from Zhushui Spiritual State
really be such a fool for love

00:19:38.879 --> 00:19:41.120 align:center
-who expects nothing in return?
-Fuyue,

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:45.320 align:center
I will never become
like my father or my brothers.

00:19:47.800 --> 00:19:48.919 align:center
Never.

00:19:50.919 --> 00:19:52.240 align:center
Are you saying that to me

00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:55.120 align:center
or to yourself?

00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:03.480 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:20:04.639 --> 00:20:05.879 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.720 align:center
You won't become like them, Your Lordship.

00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:10.200 align:center
I know you won't.

00:20:24.159 --> 00:20:27.760 align:center
How did Ming Yi's
spiritual veins get restored?

00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:30.800 align:center
Didn't you say

00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:36.000 align:center
this technique
could only prolong her life?

00:20:36.520 --> 00:20:39.120 align:center
Her spiritual veins were destroyed
by the Heavenly Grief.

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.919 align:center
Only the Golden Millet Dream
can heal them.

00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:42.480 align:center
I…

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:50.840 align:center
You may go back.

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:53.320 align:center
After some rest,
I'll return to the Judgment Hall.

00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:55.520 align:center
-Your Lordship…
-Don't worry.

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.399 align:center
I'm fine.

00:21:28.280 --> 00:21:31.399 align:center
Chao Yuan, was it really worth it?

00:21:31.919 --> 00:21:34.120 align:center
Open your eyes and see.

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.639 align:center
You gave her everything.

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.639 align:center
You almost died.

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.120 align:center
But has she ever cared for you?

00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.840 align:center
Has she ever truly seen you?

00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:49.159 align:center
Have you forgotten how you came this far?

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.840 align:center
Did anyone ever show you
the slightest respect in the past?

00:21:53.439 --> 00:21:58.399 align:center
Have you forgotten it all?

00:22:00.520 --> 00:22:03.600 align:center
-Get in there!
-Get in there!

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.760 align:center
Let me out!

00:22:13.639 --> 00:22:14.520 align:center
Here they come.

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.679 align:center
-Come on out! Come out!
-How do you like that?

00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:25.360 align:center
-These are all prepared for you!
-Let me out!

00:22:25.439 --> 00:22:26.760 align:center
-Come out!
-Let me out!

00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:28.360 align:center
Come out if you can!

00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:32.600 align:center
-Get in yourself.
-Yes.

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:34.320 align:center
Save us the trouble of beating you up.

00:22:34.399 --> 00:22:36.200 align:center
-Good boy.
-What a good boy.

00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:41.200 align:center
-Why is he so quiet this time?
-I can't…

00:22:41.280 --> 00:22:43.000 align:center
-Now he's crying.
-That's more like it.

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:44.840 align:center
As expected, one
without spiritual veins is worthless.

00:22:45.639 --> 00:22:47.240 align:center
You'll never crawl out of there yourself!

00:22:51.320 --> 00:22:54.679 align:center
After all these years,
he's still the same.

00:22:54.760 --> 00:22:55.600 align:center
This is no fun.

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.000 align:center
That's enough for today.

00:23:18.800 --> 00:23:22.040 align:center
What are you still struggling for?

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:25.639 align:center
You've never truly forgotten that pain.

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.360 align:center
The Situ Ling everyone else sees is a lie.

00:23:29.439 --> 00:23:31.000 align:center
All that talk about willingness

00:23:31.080 --> 00:23:34.040 align:center
and selflessness is a lie!

00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:36.919 align:center
You are Chao Yuan.

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.800 align:center
You're just like your father and brothers.

00:23:39.879 --> 00:23:41.040 align:center
I'm not.

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:49.360 align:center
I'm not!

00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:55.280 align:center
The tea gathering is near,

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:56.800 align:center
yet His Majesty passed so suddenly.

00:23:56.879 --> 00:23:59.040 align:center
The future of Jixing Abyss is uncertain.

00:23:59.120 --> 00:24:00.040 align:center
Yes.

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:03.040 align:center
Are we really going to let
the Princess inherit the throne?

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:04.600 align:center
What a disgrace.

00:24:06.040 --> 00:24:06.919 align:center
Never in history

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.520 align:center
has a princess become the ruler.

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:13.080 align:center
How are we supposed to hold on

00:24:13.159 --> 00:24:15.320 align:center
to our position among
the Upper Realms this year?

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.520 align:center
-Right.
-Exactly.

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:20.600 align:center
Meng Yangqiu,
what is the punishment for speaking ill

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:22.480 align:center
of Her Majesty in private?

00:24:23.600 --> 00:24:26.480 align:center
According to the laws
of Jixing Abyss, 30 lashes

00:24:27.080 --> 00:24:28.360 align:center
as a warning.

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.639 align:center
Thirty lashes? That's fair.

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:34.320 align:center
It's enough to break some bones,

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.159 align:center
but not enough to cripple someone.

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.639 align:center
Some people,

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.919 align:center
born so lowly,

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.760 align:center
only managed to crawl their way up
by clinging to others.

00:24:42.840 --> 00:24:43.639 align:center
You…

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:47.000 align:center
Under a female monarch, I'm afraid
our realm will lose all decorum.

00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:50.360 align:center
Do we really need to wait

00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:53.800 align:center
for the law to punish those
who speak ill of our ruler?

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:56.360 align:center
I spent most of my life imprisoned.

00:24:57.159 --> 00:24:59.000 align:center
I barely know anything about the law.

00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:02.439 align:center
If anyone keeps speaking filth before me,

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:05.760 align:center
I'll kill them on the spot.

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.080 align:center
Her Majesty is here!

00:26:00.439 --> 00:26:02.879 align:center
Whether you accept it or not,

00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:07.159 align:center
I am now the new ruler of Jixing Abyss.

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:09.159 align:center
-Well…
-She…

00:26:09.919 --> 00:26:12.520 align:center
You all have ears and eyes.

00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:15.960 align:center
You can hear and you can see.

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.639 align:center
Judge for yourselves

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:20.360 align:center
how I rule from this day on

00:26:20.919 --> 00:26:22.840 align:center
and whether I am worthy of this seat.

00:26:24.280 --> 00:26:26.280 align:center
Today, I give you my word.

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:28.879 align:center
I will lead Jixing Abyss

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.439 align:center
to win the Blessed Rain
at the Qingyun Tournament.

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.280 align:center
If I fail,

00:26:35.639 --> 00:26:38.399 align:center
I will step down of my own accord.

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.480 align:center
If she says so.

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:43.480 align:center
Indeed. We shall see.

00:26:43.560 --> 00:26:45.000 align:center
We'll see if she keeps her word.

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:46.600 align:center
-Can she do it?
-Fair enough.

00:26:57.800 --> 00:27:00.439 align:center
I think you were right.

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:02.399 align:center
About what?

00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:06.159 align:center
When the water is too clear,
no fish can survive.

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.240 align:center
If one seeks an uncorrupted rule,

00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:11.439 align:center
perhaps the first step

00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:12.960 align:center
is to cast away purity itself.

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:18.240 align:center
Life and death are forever intertwined.

00:27:20.399 --> 00:27:22.080 align:center
Only by emerging from filth and decay

00:27:23.439 --> 00:27:24.840 align:center
can one reach
true benevolence and the Way.

00:27:31.840 --> 00:27:32.879 align:center
In all honesty,

00:27:33.879 --> 00:27:35.199 align:center
if possible,

00:27:36.120 --> 00:27:39.120 align:center
I'd still rather see you
stand in the light.

00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:42.439 align:center
That's my selfish wish.

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:52.159 align:center
Tianji,

00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:54.800 align:center
you can leave

00:27:56.199 --> 00:27:57.600 align:center
all the dirty work to me.

00:27:58.840 --> 00:28:00.280 align:center
I'm willing to be your blade.

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.000 align:center
I don't need someone
to soil their hands for me.

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.760 align:center
I will never be that kind of ruler.

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:13.280 align:center
I will bear both the good and the bad

00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:15.360 align:center
of Jixing Abyss

00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:19.159 align:center
myself.

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:27.720 align:center
But I do have one question.

00:28:29.399 --> 00:28:30.360 align:center
Immortal Yan,

00:28:31.199 --> 00:28:33.199 align:center
would you walk this path with me?

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:51.199 align:center
With unwavering devotion.

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:02.520 align:center
Good.

00:29:18.760 --> 00:29:21.040 align:center
May stars and blessings
forever grace the Abyss.

00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:23.720 align:center
Greetings, Your Majesty.

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.879 align:center
It seems

00:29:24.959 --> 00:29:26.760 align:center
that among everyone today,
only you and Xiuyun

00:29:26.840 --> 00:29:28.280 align:center
saluted me with sincerity.

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:32.879 align:center
Ming Yi,

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.800 align:center
do you believe I can be a good ruler?

00:29:38.959 --> 00:29:42.080 align:center
Whether others believe in you
or not means nothing.

00:29:42.159 --> 00:29:44.679 align:center
Follow your words with actions
and see them through.

00:29:44.760 --> 00:29:46.360 align:center
Sooner or later, all will

00:29:46.439 --> 00:29:48.000 align:center
bow before you.

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:49.360 align:center
You're right.

00:29:49.439 --> 00:29:51.399 align:center
If they refuse to submit,

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.600 align:center
they can try to take
this seat for themselves.

00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:55.639 align:center
Let's see

00:29:56.360 --> 00:29:58.040 align:center
if they're capable of that.

00:29:58.120 --> 00:30:00.120 align:center
With such resolve,

00:30:00.199 --> 00:30:02.159 align:center
Your Majesty
will surely achieve greatness.

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.879 align:center
I look forward to witnessing it.

00:30:05.600 --> 00:30:07.000 align:center
Come, sit with me.

00:30:16.199 --> 00:30:18.639 align:center
Ming Yi, have you heard?

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:20.280 align:center
I made a promise

00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:23.520 align:center
to lead Jixing Abyss to victory
in the Qingyun Tournament.

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:25.560 align:center
If I fail, I'll abdicate the throne.

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:28.040 align:center
So,

00:30:29.280 --> 00:30:30.280 align:center
I want your help.

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.000 align:center
Ji Bozai can't forge artifacts,

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:40.720 align:center
yet in the battle against
the netherbeast army on the Prayer Night,

00:30:40.800 --> 00:30:42.000 align:center
he wielded a demon-repelling parasol.

00:30:42.679 --> 00:30:45.520 align:center
That must have been your work, right?

00:30:48.919 --> 00:30:52.040 align:center
So, Ming Yi,

00:30:53.080 --> 00:30:54.240 align:center
join Shouhua Academy.

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:00.600 align:center
If I refuse,

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:04.159 align:center
what will you do, Your Majesty?

00:31:08.879 --> 00:31:12.080 align:center
At first, I thought about
threatening you with your life.

00:31:12.879 --> 00:31:14.720 align:center
Later, I considered other ways.

00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:16.879 align:center
But in the end, I came to a realization.

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.199 align:center
You made the demon-repelling parasol
to protect the innocent.

00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:23.360 align:center
I shouldn't pressure someone like you.

00:31:28.879 --> 00:31:31.560 align:center
So, please, Ming Yi, I'm begging you.

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:34.959 align:center
I know you've been staying
at Zhang Tai's place lately.

00:31:35.040 --> 00:31:37.679 align:center
Something must've happened
between you and Ji Bozai.

00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:41.480 align:center
I get it. Married couples
shouldn't be apart for too long.

00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:43.480 align:center
But there are only
four people at the Academy.

00:31:43.560 --> 00:31:45.679 align:center
I really need you.

00:31:45.760 --> 00:31:47.600 align:center
Chen Xi is still young.

00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:50.959 align:center
However talented he is,
he needs proper guidance, doesn't he?

00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:53.520 align:center
We lost seven years in a row.
Our best talents all left.

00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:55.480 align:center
We are falling far behind
the other realms in forging.

00:31:55.560 --> 00:31:58.520 align:center
Yet people still call Jixing Abyss
a land of master Forgers.

00:31:58.600 --> 00:32:00.199 align:center
It's embarrassing just to hear it.

00:32:00.280 --> 00:32:03.600 align:center
Ming Yi, if you don't help me,
we're doomed!

00:32:03.679 --> 00:32:05.240 align:center
Please.

00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:08.639 align:center
You're the Empress now.

00:32:08.719 --> 00:32:10.159 align:center
-Can you act like one?
-No.

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:11.560 align:center
My dignity doesn't matter.

00:32:11.639 --> 00:32:14.840 align:center
As Empress, my top priority is to find
a great Forger for Shouhua Academy.

00:32:15.639 --> 00:32:17.679 align:center
Politics, pride…

00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:20.280 align:center
None of that works on you anyway.

00:32:24.439 --> 00:32:26.439 align:center
-Let go.
-No.

00:32:27.320 --> 00:32:29.679 align:center
-Let go!
-Not until you say yes!

00:32:30.840 --> 00:32:32.000 align:center
What brings you here, Yan?

00:32:33.959 --> 00:32:36.159 align:center
This year's tea gathering
will be held at Yaoguang Mountain,

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.600 align:center
which puts Jixing Abyss
at a great disadvantage.

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:41.399 align:center
So, I came to ask if you'd be willing
to move into Shouhua Academy for now.

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.280 align:center
It'll give us more time to train together,

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.840 align:center
and it'll boost morale.

00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:48.959 align:center
Of course.

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.399 align:center
As a warrior of Jixing Abyss,
that's my duty.

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:55.120 align:center
I appreciate it, Ji. Farewell.

00:33:05.159 --> 00:33:06.000 align:center
Your Lordship,

00:33:06.080 --> 00:33:08.280 align:center
you asked me to look into the message
that lured you to Zhangwei Mountain.

00:33:08.360 --> 00:33:09.480 align:center
I couldn't find the sender.

00:33:16.760 --> 00:33:18.520 align:center
MING YI HAS GONE TO THE ZHANGWEI MOUNTAIN

00:33:18.600 --> 00:33:21.120 align:center
TO OBTAIN THE SECOND HALF
OF BO'S MEDICAL CLASSICS

00:33:21.879 --> 00:33:23.040 align:center
Your Lordship,

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:24.800 align:center
the sender didn't leave their name,

00:33:24.879 --> 00:33:26.800 align:center
and the handwriting has been altered.

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:32.439 align:center
The sender deliberately
lured me there to rescue Ming Yi

00:33:33.159 --> 00:33:35.199 align:center
but set no traps.

00:33:36.679 --> 00:33:38.800 align:center
Only Situ Ling
would do something like that.

00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:43.080 align:center
Did you find anything about him,
as I asked?

00:33:43.159 --> 00:33:45.800 align:center
I located the head of the Situ clan.

00:33:48.959 --> 00:33:51.679 align:center
After Mu Qibai's death,
he feared he might be implicated,

00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:52.800 align:center
so he went into hiding.

00:33:52.879 --> 00:33:54.040 align:center
I found him

00:33:54.120 --> 00:33:56.000 align:center
and told him he'd be spared
if he told the truth,

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:57.760 align:center
so he confessed everything.

00:33:58.760 --> 00:34:00.959 align:center
In fact, he forged Situ Ling's identity.

00:34:01.040 --> 00:34:04.120 align:center
The Situ clan
never had a long-lost younger son.

00:34:04.639 --> 00:34:06.000 align:center
Situ Ling's true identity

00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:09.080 align:center
is Chao Yuan, the son
of the Emperor of Zhushui.

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.799 align:center
He's the son of the Emperor of Zhushui?

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:21.799 align:center
Then why did he infiltrate Jixing Abyss

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.679 align:center
in the first place?

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:28.520 align:center
Judging by his actions,

00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:31.040 align:center
it doesn't seem like
he was on Mu Qibai's side.

00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.440 align:center
I went to Zhushui Spiritual State
and learned

00:34:34.520 --> 00:34:37.000 align:center
that Chao Yuan had no spiritual veins
and was never favored by his father.

00:34:37.839 --> 00:34:40.239 align:center
He'd long been bullied
by his elder brothers.

00:34:41.040 --> 00:34:42.400 align:center
He most likely escaped on his own.

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:46.239 align:center
-When did he come to Jixing Abyss?
-It's been some time.

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:47.839 align:center
The head of the Situ clan

00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:49.960 align:center
said that at first,
he stayed with their clan,

00:34:50.040 --> 00:34:51.480 align:center
claiming he was there on a mission.

00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.000 align:center
He also inquired about the Sunken Abyss.

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:58.520 align:center
After last year's Qingyun Tournament,
he assumed the identity of Situ Ling,

00:34:58.600 --> 00:35:01.319 align:center
took Jixing Abyss's Immortal Examination,
and joined the Judgment Hall.

00:35:05.319 --> 00:35:07.040 align:center
He must have learned in Zhushui Palace

00:35:07.799 --> 00:35:10.520 align:center
that Mu Qibai was using the Sunken Abyss
to refine medicine.

00:35:14.120 --> 00:35:16.640 align:center
I went to the divine capital

00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:18.880 align:center
after last year's Qingyun Tournament.

00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:23.200 align:center
He must've come

00:35:23.839 --> 00:35:26.000 align:center
for the Golden Millet Dream.

00:35:27.560 --> 00:35:29.120 align:center
You did it again!

00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:33.680 align:center
Calm down. Look, you even
made dust fall into my bowl.

00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:37.880 align:center
I'm not taking an official post
at Shouhua Academy.

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.040 align:center
I'm just teaching forging.

00:35:40.120 --> 00:35:41.720 align:center
That way, I can go
to the tea gathering with them

00:35:41.799 --> 00:35:43.520 align:center
without raising suspicion.

00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:45.759 align:center
I will only agree
to your request verbally.

00:35:47.080 --> 00:35:49.480 align:center
You grant me the Blessed Rain,
and I'll teach Chen Xi how to forge.

00:35:50.600 --> 00:35:51.759 align:center
But I have two more conditions.

00:35:52.680 --> 00:35:53.799 align:center
Sure.

00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:58.680 align:center
Shouldn't you hear them first
before deciding whether to agree?

00:35:58.759 --> 00:36:00.400 align:center
I've seen the demon-repelling parasol.

00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.799 align:center
No one in Jixing Abyss
can match your forging skills.

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:06.720 align:center
If you agree to teach at the Academy,

00:36:06.799 --> 00:36:09.040 align:center
I'll meet any condition you name.

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.920 align:center
First,

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:18.160 align:center
I want to accompany the warriors
to the tea gathering.

00:36:18.240 --> 00:36:19.440 align:center
No problem.

00:36:19.520 --> 00:36:21.799 align:center
Second, I want Your Majesty to promise

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.319 align:center
to give it your all while preparing
for the Qingyun Tournament.

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:25.759 align:center
When the Six Realms gather,

00:36:25.839 --> 00:36:26.680 align:center
you must expose the crimes

00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:29.759 align:center
of the Emperor of Zhushui
and his followers before everyone.

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.160 align:center
Agreed.

00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:35.200 align:center
That's what I've always intended to do.

00:36:38.680 --> 00:36:39.680 align:center
Now,

00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:43.480 align:center
welcome to Shouhua Academy, Fairy Ming Yi.

00:36:48.279 --> 00:36:49.240 align:center
So, that's your plan.

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.759 align:center
If you can't outsmart Ming Xin,
at least you'll have helped form a force

00:36:53.839 --> 00:36:55.240 align:center
to stand against Zhushui Spiritual State.

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:05.799 align:center
Since I've already
stepped down as the Venerable,

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:07.960 align:center
I'll use this time

00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:10.680 align:center
to search for the ingredients needed
to make the Golden Millet Dream.

00:37:11.240 --> 00:37:14.040 align:center
Honestly,
I still can't tell if the poison in you

00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:15.319 align:center
is truly gone.

00:37:16.839 --> 00:37:18.279 align:center
While I'm out looking
for the herbs, remember to…

00:37:18.359 --> 00:37:19.560 align:center
I can take care of myself.

00:37:22.319 --> 00:37:24.279 align:center
Be good, or else…

00:37:25.160 --> 00:37:27.240 align:center
What are you? A three-year-old?

00:37:28.319 --> 00:37:29.200 align:center
Oh, right.

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.600 align:center
Every year, there's a spiritual power
contest at the tea gathering,

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.240 align:center
followed by a travelers' competition.

00:37:36.319 --> 00:37:38.319 align:center
Anyone besides the warriors can join.

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.600 align:center
It's meant to let
ordinary people of the Six Realms

00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:41.920 align:center
test their skills against each other.

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.920 align:center
I've heard this year's prize

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.240 align:center
is a black lingzhi mushroom.

00:37:46.319 --> 00:37:48.600 align:center
It can help companion beasts
regain their form.

00:37:51.240 --> 00:37:52.560 align:center
So, it can bring Twenty-Seven back?

00:37:54.319 --> 00:37:55.720 align:center
-Smart girl.
-Really?

00:37:56.600 --> 00:37:59.359 align:center
With that mushroom,
you can speed up Twenty-Seven's revival.

00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.799 align:center
Twenty-Seven, did you hear that?

00:38:06.040 --> 00:38:07.880 align:center
There's a way to bring you back.

00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:11.520 align:center
Just wait for me, all right?

00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:17.240 align:center
The Tiger-Subduing Shield.
Strong in both offense and defense,

00:38:17.319 --> 00:38:18.400 align:center
especially the latter.

00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:19.319 align:center
It suits you, Meng Yangqiu.

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:20.600 align:center
Thank you, Fairy Ming Yi.

00:38:21.640 --> 00:38:23.440 align:center
This is the Lvqi Zither.

00:38:23.520 --> 00:38:25.680 align:center
It has a quick attack speed
and can amplify healing effects.

00:38:25.759 --> 00:38:27.359 align:center
Yan Xiao, this one's for you.

00:38:28.799 --> 00:38:29.960 align:center
Thank you, Fairy Ming Yi.

00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:32.240 align:center
This is the Haotian Staff.

00:38:33.240 --> 00:38:35.799 align:center
Once you channel spiritual power into it,
you can strike enemies

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:38.560 align:center
from 100 chi away
and knock down everyone in its path.

00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:41.080 align:center
-Thank you, Master!
-Did I say you could have it?

00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:44.200 align:center
Just kidding. It's yours.

00:38:44.799 --> 00:38:45.640 align:center
Here, take it.

00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:49.759 align:center
Ji, come and try these artifacts.

00:38:50.319 --> 00:38:52.440 align:center
With your strength
and Ming Yi's craftsmanship,

00:38:52.520 --> 00:38:54.359 align:center
no one in the Six Realms
would be able to rival you.

00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:55.319 align:center
What are you doing here?

00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:58.200 align:center
By order of Her Majesty,
I've joined Shouhua Academy

00:38:58.279 --> 00:38:59.920 align:center
to teach Chen Xi forging.

00:39:04.240 --> 00:39:07.160 align:center
You didn't know Fairy Ming Yi

00:39:07.240 --> 00:39:10.040 align:center
had joined Shouhua Academy?

00:39:14.080 --> 00:39:16.040 align:center
-Actually, Immortal Ji and I…
-Come with me.

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:19.080 align:center
Wait, I wasn't finished.

00:39:19.160 --> 00:39:21.200 align:center
Did Immortal Ji and Fairy Ming Yi

00:39:21.279 --> 00:39:22.720 align:center
have a fight?

00:39:27.040 --> 00:39:30.120 align:center
Come back… Children
shouldn't meddle in adult matters.

00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:34.480 align:center
Just stop here. There's no one around.

00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:37.359 align:center
Why are you really here?

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:41.120 align:center
I want to go to the tea gathering

00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:43.319 align:center
to find proof that Ming Xin poisoned me.

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.040 align:center
If I wait until my father
holds the investiture ceremony

00:39:45.120 --> 00:39:46.880 align:center
to name him Crown Prince,

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.359 align:center
-it'll be too late.
-Staying at Shouhua Academy

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:50.400 align:center
could easily expose your true identity.

00:39:51.080 --> 00:39:52.520 align:center
I don't even know much about forging,

00:39:52.600 --> 00:39:54.880 align:center
yet I saw the similarities
between the Nirvana and the Embers.

00:39:55.640 --> 00:39:56.480 align:center
Do you think I'm an idiot?

00:39:56.560 --> 00:39:59.480 align:center
That I'd forge weapons for everyone
that look just like the Embers?

00:40:06.359 --> 00:40:09.359 align:center
You've only seen a fraction
of my forging skill.

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.960 align:center
The artifacts I create
are far beyond your imagination.

00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.240 align:center
So, don't worry.
No one will find out who I really am.

00:40:15.319 --> 00:40:16.480 align:center
Fine.

00:40:17.040 --> 00:40:18.600 align:center
Since you dared to come
to Shouhua Academy,

00:40:19.240 --> 00:40:20.400 align:center
does it mean
your spiritual veins have healed?

00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.720 align:center
Thank you for your concern, Immortal Ji.

00:40:32.799 --> 00:40:35.240 align:center
Yes, they have,
perhaps through divine mercy.

00:40:35.319 --> 00:40:37.560 align:center
I also owe it to the elixir
Immortal Situ refined for me.

00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:39.480 align:center
Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived.

00:40:40.799 --> 00:40:42.880 align:center
Immortal Situ?

00:40:46.520 --> 00:40:47.720 align:center
Situ Ling?

00:40:47.799 --> 00:40:49.560 align:center
Yes. And my master

00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:51.520 align:center
also transferred half his power to me.

00:40:51.600 --> 00:40:53.920 align:center
But I'm not sure
whether the poison's been purged

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.120 align:center
or if it's just a temporary recovery.

00:40:55.200 --> 00:40:56.839 align:center
Either way, I'm not in pain now,

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:58.600 align:center
and I'm safe for now.

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:09.480 align:center
How did he save you?

00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:14.240 align:center
With his heart's blood.

00:41:14.839 --> 00:41:16.759 align:center
He gave me some of his lifespan.

00:41:17.279 --> 00:41:19.680 align:center
I owe him a great debt.

00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:25.880 align:center
What's wrong?

00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:30.000 align:center
Congratulations.

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:34.920 align:center
Wait! I owe you too, Immortal Ji.

00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:41.799 align:center
Even though
the Golden Millet Dream's recipe

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:43.000 align:center
never came into use,

00:41:43.839 --> 00:41:45.520 align:center
without your help,

00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:48.680 align:center
I would've died searching for it.

00:41:53.799 --> 00:41:55.160 align:center
Thank you, Immortal Ji.

00:41:59.080 --> 00:42:00.160 align:center
I'll take my leave now.

00:42:16.839 --> 00:42:18.799 align:center
Did you really give
the Golden Millet Dream to Ming Yi?

00:42:20.160 --> 00:42:22.000 align:center
Are you slamming the table at me?

00:42:22.520 --> 00:42:25.640 align:center
Does that even matter?
You should be worrying about yourself now!

00:42:27.839 --> 00:42:30.160 align:center
Do you not value your own life at all?

00:42:30.240 --> 00:42:32.040 align:center
Have you forgotten
that the Heavenly Grief in you

00:42:32.120 --> 00:42:33.520 align:center
was never truly purged?

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.680 align:center
Back then, because
there was no catalyst herb,

00:42:37.759 --> 00:42:39.839 align:center
Fairy Bo had to use
her clan's secret technique

00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:41.880 align:center
and combine other ingredients
of the Golden Millet Dream

00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.200 align:center
to suppress
the Heavenly Grief in your body.

00:42:44.720 --> 00:42:47.400 align:center
But it could relapse at any time.

00:42:48.279 --> 00:42:51.400 align:center
Later, Fairy Bo made
the complete Golden Millet Dream

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:52.520 align:center
and left it to you.

00:42:52.600 --> 00:42:54.319 align:center
But now you've given it to Ming Yi.

00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:57.359 align:center
If you suffer a relapse someday,
what will you do then?

00:42:58.120 --> 00:43:00.480 align:center
Buxiu, I know what I'm doing.

00:43:00.560 --> 00:43:01.839 align:center
Do you?

00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:03.319 align:center
Then why did I sense

00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:05.560 align:center
the Spirit Well you formed
with your spiritual power has closed?

00:43:06.520 --> 00:43:09.440 align:center
Did you drain your own power to refine
the Golden Millet Dream directly?

00:43:10.319 --> 00:43:11.720 align:center
Planting the Golden Millet Dream
within someone

00:43:11.799 --> 00:43:13.560 align:center
takes an enormous
amount of spiritual power,

00:43:13.640 --> 00:43:15.799 align:center
and the process
feels like being flayed alive.

00:43:16.319 --> 00:43:19.440 align:center
You did all this so Ming Yi
could take it directly,

00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:20.560 align:center
didn't you?

00:43:21.160 --> 00:43:22.880 align:center
Did you really go that far?
could take it directly,
