=Who Rules The World=

=Episode 30=

Your Lordship.

Why do you distrust Marquis Yongping so?

Father knows best.

If he hides for another decade,

then I'll have no choice.

Your Lordship.

If the princess agrees to
Prince Lanxi's proposal,

will he ally with Youzhou

to overthrow Yongzhou?

He is a smart man.

He knows

if I allow him to go to Youzhou,

I must have a contingency plan.

Now, he has to choose wisely.

So,

Prince Lanxi

isn't courting the Princess.

He's trying to gain your trust again,
Your Lordship.

We'll see.

The heir of Lord of Youzhou is placed
in confinement by the Lord of Youzhou.

At such a critical period,

Lord of Youzhou
leaves him in humiliation.

I'm afraid that after the confinement,

his status as the heir is at risk.

All four descendants of Lord of Youzhou

are incapable and incompetent.

The heir is just

comparatively better
than his incapable brothers.

I heard

that it was the censorates

who dropped a dime on him
during the royal court meeting.

What do you think about this?

The censorates are
Lord of Youzhou's men.

This is interesting.

In my opinion,

there's another reason

behind the heir of Lord of Youzhou's
confinement.

It's due to Hua Chunran, isn't it?

Hua Chunran is appointed
as the Divine Fairy of Dadong.

He's the last person

to welcome her return.

Recently,

she's going to select her husband.

If she gets her ideal husband,

the heir of Lord of Youzhou
will be in a passive situation.

Hua Chunran has just returned

to Youzhou for less than a month,

yet she managed to overthrow
the heir of Lord of Youzhou.

She's rather capable indeed.

If she becomes your companion,

the world will be at peace.

I'd be relieved too.

After I unify and rule the world,

you'll

still be my dearest friend.

(Youzhou)

Your Highness.

Princess Hua.

I've been sitting still
for more than two hours.

I'm really tired.

What are you trying to do?

Just a minute.

This is too heavy. I can't wear it.

Okay, don't wear it then.

You can wear this
Sailing Clouds and Frosty Peaks.

It looks more unique.

What are you doing, Princess Hua?

I'm preparing for tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

You're the one who is going
to select a husband tomorrow.

I'm not.

What preparations do I have to make?

You promised to help me.

Tomorrow,

I just need to knock down everyone

except for Black Foxy.

In this way,

the others won't have the audacity
to ask you for marriage.

Great.

If there's nothing else,
I'll go to sleep then.

- I'm really tired.
- Miss Feng.

Miss Feng.

You've been putting on make-up.

You shouldn't give up halfway through.

Chunran, I...

I heard your voice from afar.

When can you be more refined?

Mr. Feng.

Look. Doesn't Miss Feng

look extremely fine today?

What do you think, Sir?

Princess Hua.

You're overrating it.

I think she looks okay.

You won't look like a crown prince
even if you're wearing a yellow robe.

Do you hear that?

The effort is in vain.

I'm leaving.

By the way,

tomorrow is the day
of the royal marriage proposal.

I'll get going then.

Okay.

However, Miss Feng
needs to stay in the palace.

I have a favor to ask.

Okay.

I'll leave first.

Princess Hua.

I'm really tired.

I shall go back and sleep.

I'll come back later.

Miss Feng.

The pearl cake is almost ready.

Come on.

Sir.

The men I sent to spy on
Youzhou Royal Palace reported

that Feng Lanxi had left the palace.

Do it.

Okay.

(Map of the Capital of Youzhou)

It does feel weird

without my inner force.

You can't perform martial arts now.

You are no match for us.

Looks like

you know about a lot of things.

But you don't know about this.

I've learned
the art of fighting for war.

(It feels nice)

(to be protected.)

Are you all right?

I can still hold on.

(Who is he?)

(Why did he use Sacred Jade Moon?)

Someone is here. Let's leave.

Take the corpses back for investigation.

Tomorrow is the day
of the royal marriage proposal.

Nothing can go wrong.

Noted.

Are you feeling better?

Yes.

If it weren't for you,

I might have died.

Thank you.

It seems that they're
from the Soultaker Sect.

Why are the people
from Soultaker Sect still alive?

I have no idea too.

The last person who fought against you

has an inner force
that seems like Sacred Jade Moon.

However, he didn't know how to use it.

It doesn't seem like
he acquired it through practice.

It seems like
he has stolen it from someone.

Stole?

Does this have to do

with the mysterious man from Yongzhou?

He stored both our inner forces

in his body

through Qiwu's accident.

That's possible.

He showed up alongside the people
from Soultaker Sect.

There's something wrong with this.

There must be a conspiracy

hiding behind the incident.

I'm suspecting
that this has something to do

with the Locust and the Cricket.

Soultaker Sect.

Sacred Jade Moon.

The Locust and the Cricket.

I think

the Locust and the Cricket are
the ones behind Soultaker Sect.

They went on a killing spree
in the martial arts world

and played havoc
with the situation discreetly.

I'm afraid that their purpose

is to overthrow Dadong's reign.

People will be in great misery.

Heroine Feng.

Let's

change the situation, shall we?

It suits me fine.

By the way.

These are the questions for
Hua Chunran's royal marriage proposal.

The first test is the martial arts test.

She might be unaware of your situation.

I think

that your first test

will be rather tough.

It's fine.

What tricks do you have

up your sleeve, Black Foxy?

I have you.

I am afraid of nothing.

Two meals.

You must cook me two meals.

Deal.

Ever since the date
of the royal marriage proposal

for Princess Chunran is confirmed,

capable men have gathered in Youzhou.

(As Vigorous As Pine)
Today's examination

will be conducted by Princess Chunran.

Your Highness.

Why hasn't Mr. Feng arrived yet?

Let's wait a little longer.

I believe that he will surely come.

Zeng Youliang.

Shan Yecheng, Young Master of
Tiantong Chamber of Commerce.

(As Vigorous As Pine)

This way, please.

Ming Yueshan,
Young Master of Ming Family of Shangzhou.

These heroes are all capable.

That's right.

The Ming family from Shangzhou
is not only wealthy,

but they are also good at martial arts.

(As Vigorous As Pine)

The heir of Lord of Jizhou, Huang Chao.

The Finest Gentry, Yu Wuyuan.

(As Vigorous As Pine)

The only person who can make Yu Wuyuan

serve as a foil

is Huang Chao.

This way, please.

It's him.

He's Huang Chao?

Is Prince Huang brilliant?

He's brilliant indeed,

but he's not my ideal husband.

Marquis Yongping of Yongzhou,

(As Vigorous As Pine)
Feng Lanxi.

Feng Lanxi,
Marquis Yongping of Yongzhou.

Feng Lanxi, Marquis Yongping
of Yongzhou is present.

(As Vigorous As Pine)

This way, please.

Feng Lanxi.

Hei Fengxi.

I need to see Father.

(Cailian Platform)

Greetings, dear heroes.

It's nice to meet you.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Never mind the courtesies.

I'm honored

(Cailian Platform)
to meet you today.

I shall play you a song

to express my sincerity.

All comments are welcome.

Even if I didn't get to be selected
to be the Prince Consort,

it's worth the trip

as I'm able to enjoy
Your Highness' guqin performance.

That's right.

What song are you going to play,
Your Highness?

This pavilion is surrounded
by water lily.

Today,

I shall play you the Water Lily Tune.

(Cailian Platform)

(Cailian Platform)

Greetings, Your Lordship.

Long live the Lord.

Please get up, Chun.

Shouldn't you be at Jinhua Palace?

What brings you here?

I've asked Bai Fengxi
to disguise herself as me

and stay at Jinhua Palace.

Nonsense.

How could you ask others
to select a husband on your behalf?

Chunran.

Are you taking a fancy to Hei Fengxi?

Hence, you're asking
for Bai Fengxi's help, aren't you?

Previously, yes.

But

I've changed my mind.

What?

I found out

that Hei Fengxi of Fountain Abode

is Feng Lanxi,
Marquis Yongping of Yongzhou.

What did you say?

When they were entering the hall,

I was watching at the side.

I didn't hear

the title of Hei Fengxi
of Fountain Abode

until Feng Lanxi showed up.

I found out

that they are the same person.

Are you sure?

They are in the palace these few days.

I'm very sure about this.

Feng Lanxi

is Hei Fengxi.

There are only two possibilities.

First. They are acutally the same person.

Feng Lanxi ventures
into the martial arts world

in the name of
Hei Fengxi of Fountain Abode.

He hides his own identity.

Second.

Feng Lanxi

is close with Bai Fengxi.

He uses Bai Fengxi

to cover for Hei Fengxi

to approach you.

Just like how you asked
Bai Fengxi to pretend to be you.

No matter the reason,

this man is even more cunning

and capable

than Prince Huang Chao.

Feng Lanxi is sharp and cunning.

I'm afraid he's not here
for the marriage proposal.

His purpose...

His purpose

is Youzhou.

I seek your approval, Father.

Set Cangmang Endgame
as the palace examination question.

The Cangmang Endgame?

Are you certain?

Only the Cangmang Endgame

can make him bewildered.

The tune

is unmatchable and unique.

What a melodious tune!

The tune is fresh and unconventional.

It depicts an unusual vibe.

Your Highness is good at guqin indeed.

I'm flattered.

(Cailian Platform)

I apologize

for my poor skills.

Your Highness is
the most beautiful lady in Dadong.

We've been wanting

to catch a glimpse of your beauty.

Would Your Highness be kind enough
to show yourself to us?

Yes.

Please let us catch a glimpse
of your beauty, Your Highness.

There's only one Prince Consort.

Even if we fail to be selected,

it's still worth it

as we get to see Your Highness.

After I've selected my husband,

I'll show myself.

Hurry up and start the test then,
Your Highness.

(Cailian Platform)

Since little, I aspire

to marry the most outstanding hero
in the world.

Otherwise,

I rather spend
the rest of my life alone.

My future husband must be an all-rounder

who has great looks and capabilities.

Hence,

there are two tests
for the royal marriage proposal.

This is the venue
for the martial arts test,

which is the first test.

You have to get to the Cailian Platform.

You can step on
the flowers to cross the lake,

but you mustn't use any tools.

Whoever falls into the lake
is disqualified.

(Feng Lanxi has no inner force.)

(How could he pass the test?)

Back then,

Old Taiyin and Old Tianji

played chess at Mount Cangmang, Youzhou.

After they left,

I found the endgame at the peak.

Rumor has it

that the world's disputes
can be deduced from the endgame.

Even Old Taiyin and Old Tianji

couldn't solve the puzzle.

What if Feng Lanxi is able to solve it?

If he can solve the endgame,

he'll rule the world.

I'm willing

to marry him.

Chun.

I'll do as you wish.

From the pavilion
to the Cailian Platform,

it's about a distance of seven zhang.

For normal warriors,

they can leap as far
as four zhang with Qinggong.

For notable warriors,

they can leap as far as six zhang.

It's rare to find someone
who can leap as far as seven zhang.

If no one can do it,

we have no choice but to suspect

that Your Highness
is just fooling us around.

You're sharp indeed, Mr. Ming.

However, I can assure you

that someone could achieve it.

I've made a friend in the palace.

Although she is a woman,

she can easily leap
to the Cailian Platform

without any help.

Who is it?

Bai Fengxi.

Since Heroine Fengxi can do it,

I'll give it a try then.

I didn't expect Princess Chunran

to be good at martial arts.

Thank you for the help,

Your Highness.

Although you've arrived
at the Cailian Platform,

you had help from others.

You didn't pass the test.

I'm ashamed.

I shall leave.

I, Feng Lanxi from Yongzhou,
would like to try.

I see.

She's the only woman in this world

who is good at martial arts

and has the guts to pretend

to be the Princess.

Congratulations, Prince Lanxi.

I shall give this a try too.

You're remarkable indeed, Prince Huang.

I would like to see you in person.

You shall

see me in person
during the liberal arts test tomorrow.

Aren't you afraid of getting busted?

Not many are capable of reaching here.

Even if they pass through the curtains,

I won't let them see my face.

Well, well.

I have a question.

If I get to rule the world,

would you marry me and be my empress?

No.

You're the only woman

who can reject my offer like this.

Report.

Your Lordship.

The martial art test at
Cailian Platform has ended.

This is the list of passing candidates.

You can leave now.

Yes, Your Lordship.

As we expected,

Feng Lanxi and Huang Chao

are both on the list.

What do you think of this?

Excluding Huang Chao and Feng Lanxi,

the rest are mediocre.

If that's so,

you don't have many choices

for the royal marriage proposal then.

Father.

We can't be sure yet.
What about the Cangmang Endgame?

Chunran.

Do you really think that Feng Lanxi

is able to solve the endgame?

I don't know.

But if it's him,

that might be possible.

You know it too, Father.

If he manages to solve it,

I'll stand a chance to wear Feng Crown.

Chunran.

I understand.

But in my opinion,

his doings

are unpredictable.

A man like him

is daunting.

All Six States are
fighting for the throne.

The other states have become powerful

as they expanded their territories
toward Imperial City.

Only Youzhou is sandwiched
between Qingzhou and Jizhou.

All these years,

our land hasn't expanded.

In due course of time,

Youzhou will eventually
be annexed by Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Even if Feng Lanxi

manages to solve the Cangmang Endgame,

Youzhou

is destined to be annexed.

What are you trying to say, Father?

I know you better than anyone else.

I know you're sincere about Feng Lanxi.

However, in terms
of appearance and capabilities,

Huang Chao from Jizhou
is as good as Feng Lanxi.

If we form a marriage
alliance with Jizhou,

we'll be in alliance with Jizhou.

Prince Huang Chao promised
to aid us in attacking Qingzhou

when he asked you for marriage.

If I get the help
of the Skyrider Cavalry,

Feng Xingtao of Qingzhou
is no match for me.

Qingzhou will be mine.

Hence...

Hence, you want me

to choose Prince Huang Chao
as my husband,

don't you, Father?

Chun.

That's right.

Although Prince Huang Chao
has the ambition to rule the world,

his kingcraft

will leave a ray of hope to Youzhou.

Noted, Your Lordship.

Fengxi.

I'd like to ask the question

I asked you at Cailian Platform again.

That's unnecessary.

I'm serious about this.

If you're serious about this,

I'll ask you a serious question as well.

If I were to be your wife,

you could never
marry any other women.

Can you do that?

I know the answer.

There's a person in the palace

that you want to marry regardless.

Am I right?

You know about the reason.

But you are
the most important person in my heart.

Huang Chao.

I'm different from you.

You can marry many women
no matter whether you like them or not.

But I'm different.

I just want to find someone I love

who only loves me.

If I get to be the Emperor,

you will be my empress.

I, Huang Chao, swear to God

that if you marry me,

you'll be my only wife.

Unfortunately,

I'm not interested in being an empress.

As you said,

I have to

marry Princess Chunran regardless.

But that is necessary

to accomplish my ambition.

Ever since we've known each other,

I think of you

as a hero of integrity.

But you have to understand

that a hero doesn't
take advantage of a woman.

Half sincerity
and half premeditatedness.

Who knows?

You might suffer a setback
due to a woman.

You mustn't be proud.

Are you here to join in the fun, Mr. Yu?

There's nothing fun at all.

Everything is predestined.

Don't you want to know
between Feng Lanxi and Huang Chao,

who will get to marry Hua Chunran?

Miss Feng accompanies Prince Lanxi here.

How would he dare to marry someone else?

How can you be sure

that Huang Chao will be the winner?

Well,

to Youzhou,

Huang Chao isn't
an ideal Prince Consort.

Besides,

if this is the case,

Hua Chunran wouldn't seek my help.

If Prince Lanxi doesn't
intend to get selected,

Huang Chao will surely win.

Hua Chunran's will

is no longer important.

Moreover, Jizhou is powerful

and is located next to Youzhou.

A marriage alliance
between the two states

means that they want to join forces.

Why are you here then, Mr. Yu?

I'm here to observe
the structure of the world.

After the royal marriage proposal,

the conflict between
the Six States will begin.

The Lord of Youzhou uses his daughter

as the first move of it.

I'd like to know

about the second move.

If there's war,

I hope that I can protect
as many common people as I can

and prevent loss of life.

Your care for the world

is respectful indeed, Miss Feng.

What do you think
of the current situation

of the Six States, Miss Feng?

Me?

I'm just a woman
in the martial arts world.

How would I know?

But I'm directing the question

to the Princess of Qingzhou,

Princess Xiyun.

How did you know?

Marquis Yongping went to Liangcheng

and made peace with Prince Xieyue.

There must be
a wild card in the picture.

The wild card

can only be you, Miss Feng.

No wonder you're The Finest Gentry.

You know everything

in this world.

I'm flattered, Miss Feng.

It isn't hard to deduce

once you come to think of it.

(Yongzhou)

It's mealtime.

It's mealtime.

Master.

Father.

You can have it.

Eat up.

Master.

(Lanxi is concerned about your safety.)

(I'm afraid Lord of Yongzhou will
take action. I'll come to your rescue.)

(Lanxi is concerned about your safety.)

(I'm afraid Lord of Yongzhou will
take action. I'll come to your rescue.)

Gather the disciples.

Okay.

(Youzhou)

You've now passed the martial arts test.

It's up to yourself now.

The palace examination tomorrow

might test us

on the Cangmang Endgame.

The Cangmang Endgame?

Are you talking about the chess game

between Old Taiyin and Old Tianji?

That's right.

This is the only question

that would get me baffled in the world.

You're still so full of yourself.

I heard that the game

between Old Taiyin and Old Tianji

contains deduction
about the fate of the world.

It's extremely complicated.

You...

Is this part of your plan?

I have lost my martial arts skills.

The Fountain Abode
is not as powerful as before.

If I want to rule the world,

I need to think of another way.

The two masters
might have left some ways

in the chess game

to save the world from chaos

and let the people live in harmony.

If I can understand it,

I can save the world

from havoc.

You're

overthinking this.

Your opponent
has just thought of a move,

yet you've thought of
a thousand ways to deal with it.

Listen,

it's better to be simple sometimes.

But a person like you

might be able to understand the endgame.

The issue of Youzhou
will be settled tomorrow.

You can loosen up a little.

What's next?

Are you going back
to the capital of Yongzhou?

I'll return to Tianshuang Sect
with you first.

All right.

When we're back at Tianshuang Sect,

I'll give you a tour around it.

That's a deal then.

I'd like to see

the place

you grew up in.

(As Vigorous As Pine)

(Ceaselessly Neutral)

Greetings, Your Lordship.

Long live the Lord.

Please rise.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

I can see

that you're the best of the best.

No matter

who gets to be the Prince Consort,

it'll be Youzhou's greatest blessing.

Your Lordship.

How would you like

to test us for the liberal arts test?

My first question.

In your opinion,

what is the most important thing

in this world?

(Yuchi Lie, the Heir of Lord of Beizhou)

Your Lordship.

In my opinion,

the most important thing is power.

One can only survive

with power.

That's expected
from the heir of Lord of Beizhou.

I heard that Beizhou
is good at the military.

You definitely

have the demeanor of Beizhou.

Please be seated.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

(Young Master of Wanjian Manor, Zeng Youliang)
I think that

the most significant thing

in the world is ambition.

The strong should
be firm about their ambitions

to be invincible.

You're from Wanjian Manor,

yet you have such a wise opinion
about politics, Mr. Zeng.

You're admirable indeed.

Please have a seat.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

Well.

How about you, Mr. Shan?

Your Lordship.

I believe

that power and ambition

are equally important in this world.

Is that all?

I hold similar reasons

as them.

Tiantong Chamber of Commerce
is the top chamber of commerce.

I can see that you're a person

who is agreeable and capable.

I know that I'm not capable enough

to be selected, Your Lordship.

Hence, I shall give up.

Please take account

of my gracious act, misters.

If you can do a business with me,

I'll be more than grateful.

I shall leave first.

Mr. Shan is purposeful indeed.

Prince Huang.

What do you think?

As I see it,

the Six States

emphasize the vision.

Those who prioritize a city

survive on the city.

Those who prioritize a state

are able to sense evolution.

And those who prioritize the world

can bless and rule the world.
