[The Starry Night, The Starry Sea: 2]

[Episode 06]

Brother, how do I get to Chang Le Shipyard?

Pass through three intersections and then turn right and you will arrive there.

- Thanks.- You are welcome.

Hey, Sir. Newly arrived blue-green and suyan eyebrow paints.

Sir!

Stop!

I was worried about you so I disguised myself and followed you.

Instead, this stupid tall person thought I was a bad person!

He kicked me! Kicked him back for me!

What stupid tall person?

He is the person that I was looking for.

Ha?

That coincidental?

What is your relationship with him?

Let us go.

I will get going then.

Be careful.

The chess skills of Brother Lu is really great.

I dare not accept such praises. But I indeed quite liked to play chess recently.

And also, I am reading some ancient chess texts.

The skills of ancient people in chess is really exquisitely deep. I still cannot understand the mystery behind it.

Just trying to draw a tiger based on a cat.

In terms of playing chess, I still have to learn a lot from you.

My chess skills are really not that great. I really would not dare to teach you.

But there are some principles of how one should bear oneself

that I actually wanted to give you as an advice.

If you really want to win the woman,

you should create opportunities and set ups.

Brother Lu is mocking me then.

You and Ah Li are childhood friends.

I have long treated you as my younger brother-in-law.

But I must remind you that hundreds of families will ask to marry a good woman.

Ah Li is very beautiful so it is just natural that there will be men courting her.

Especially these past days, there is this ship laborer

that keeps showing my little sister excessive attention. Really so annoying.

Regarding this matter with you and my little sister, I can only observe the fire from the other side and cannot really exert much effort.

But in the present situation, if you really want to win,

you must actively attack.

This is like playing chess.

You must set up a trap, must think of way, only by then can you advance gradually.

Do you understand?

Zixuan, I brought you harm.

Since I entered this house for the first time, I already have decided to follow Lady for a lifetime.

These little wounds are nothing.

I will just treat them as getting tickled.

It is just that Lord has always spoiled you.

Before, no matter how excessively inappropriate your actions were,

Lord will usually not dwell on them.

How come this time, when it comes to Wu Julan, he acted so unexpectedly?

Could it be that Lord has already chosen a husband for you

that is why he does not like Wu Julan?

No matter what, in my heart, there is only Wu Julan.

Lady, I actually have a good idea.

Lady, try to escape and make sure to cook the rice with Wu Julan.

This is called executing before reporting.

I will guarantee that Lord will be begging Wu Julan by then to marry you.

Just keep saying nonsense.

Lady, Lord Qin is here.

Why did you think of taking me here?

Ah Li, do you still remember this flower tree?

Qin Hao, let us have this flower tree as our matchmaker and get married today.

Ah Li, when I grow up, I surely will marry you to be my wife.

Okay, I will wait for you.

Good! Good!

Not long after that, you left Chang Le.

On that day that you left, I was like some idiot,

crazily running around the streets wanting to look for you and get you back.

I ran until night time and my body had bruises all over

but I still was not able to find you.

After that day, whenever I think of you,

I would go to this flower tree.

For these past ten years, I meticulously took care of this flower tree.

I looked forward to growing up fast.

This way, I can then leave Chang Le and look for you.

Never thought, you and your brother actually returned here to Chang Le.

This must be the heaven seeing that my yearning has become a disease

and arranged for us to reunite among this vast sea of people.

Ah Li,

that small flower tree before has now grown into a tree with abundant branches and leaves.

The children then have now grown up.

Is it not the time to fulfill the promise that we made that time already?

The flower tree as our matchmaker and the heaven and earth as our witnesses,

hand in hand, we shall grow old together.

Starting today, I will tightly hold on to your hand.

I will never let you leave me again.

Ah Li.

Qin Hao, those were just harmless jokes said when we were little.

I...

I waited... 10 years for you.

You actually are telling me now that they are jokes?

I'm sorry.

I have always thought of you as a good friend.

It is fine, Ah Li. No need for you to apologize to me.

Maybe my actions today are a bit offensive.

I should be more patient and give you more time.

This has nothing to do with time.

Why?

The two of us are childhood friends, compatible in terms of family background.

Even if we have separated for more than ten years and that you are already unfamiliar with me,

My heart has never changed towards you.

Ah Li...

Give me some time.

I surely will let you fall in love with me.

No matter how much time you give a love that will not bear fruit, it will all just be in vain.

Is it because of Wu Julan?

Qin Hao, I already told you what should be said.

My teacher is still waiting for me.

If there is nothing else, I will go back now.

Ah Li...

Ah Li...

Ten years already.

I waited for you for ten years.

I finally was able to wait for you to come back.

I finally was able to wait for the day that we fulfill our promises.

But where did the Ah Li then that promised to give her lifetime to me

go?

Ah Li...

Ah Li...

Ah Li, do not go.

- Miss.- Let go of me!

- Accompany me for some drinks.- Let go!

Beat him up!

Stop! Stop!

Have you guys eaten some leopard's gallbladder (become bold)?! You even dare to beat up even the adjutant?!

- Young Master, hurry and go back already...- Brother! Let us quickly leave!

Young Master...

Ah Li...

As the saying goes, there are women everywhere.

What is good with that Lady Lu? Why must you hang yourself to death in just one tree? (stick with one girl)

Ah Li...

Young Master, say, you have talent and good looks.

If you announce that you want to get married,

all the ladies here in Chang Le will be falling in line for you to choose them.

That scenery can compete with the emperor choosing his royal consort.

As for Lady Lu, just treat her as some meat

or some wine. Raise your hand and just grant it to that Wu Julan.

Ah Li, your childhood joke

is actually my first love.

I gave you my first love

yet you just tore it apart into pieces.

Young Master, since I came to this manor,

I have never seen you this way. Young Master...

Young Master...

Young Master... Young Master, stop crying already.

You are making my heart ache so much. If you are like this, I will cry too.

- There is a new progress regarding the case of the disappearance of High Priest.- There is now progress.

Yin Hu, how come you are alone? Where is the High Priest?

High Priest and I originally plotted to escape together.

But High Priest was gravely injured so to protect me,

she was unable to escape.

Based on the memory of Yin Hu, I already found the secret room where they were locked up previously.

But too bad, High Priest has already been transferred.

Yin Hu, who really have kidnapped you?

I do not know their identities but their motive was to get the method of creating Cangming from the mouth of High Priest.

Cangming?

What is Cangming?

Cangming...There is a huge ship in the Eastern Seas called Cangming.

This ship is 80 feet long and can travel day and night.

It is a giant ship that will never sink and is written in ancient books.

If humans want to create the Cangming, is it related to us merpeople?

What is important now is still to rescue High Priest as soon as possible.

Try to know who really is the mastermind behind this.

Yes. Yin Hu, I will escort you back to Blue Cave tonight.

No, I want to stay on land.

Master was protecting me that is why she got caught by those evil people. How can I just leave her behind and go back to Blue Cave alone?

That is good too. If Yin Hu stays behind, she can help us investigate who the real mastermind is.

Go and find her a safe place to stay.

Yes.

This is one of the shelter we have here on land. It is very safe.

Before we find High Priest, just temporarily stay here.

Okay then. I am already fine. General can go back now.

Here.

What is this?

Try it on.

Aren't these too big? If I wear these shoes, I already can row a boat. How am I going to wear these?

Next time, I will remember to buy a smaller size.

General better just give these to Chi Die instead. Her feet are bigger and these will surely fit hers.

General, do you still need anything?

That man we met on the streets today, what is you relation with him?

He is a good man that saved me. It was because I stayed in his house these past days that is why I was able to escape those evil people.

Yin Hu, you must behave and stay here for the meantime.

The mastermind has already set his eyes on you. You must not randomly go out again.

Thank you for General's reminders. I will remember them.

I will be going in now.

After sending off a plague deity (bringer of misfortunes), I feel that the whole world has finally become quiet.

It feels a bit too quiet.

How come I was able to meet such a joyous thing but I do not feel happy

but instead feel suffocated and anxious?

Could I have gotten sick?

The woman I love went to get some hemp. Not seeing her for a day is like three months have passed.

The woman I love went to pick some reeds. Not seeing her for a day is like three autumns long.

The woman I love went to pick some fragrant mugworts. Not seeing her for a day...

is like three years have went by.

Just one short day of separation actually made someone misconceived it

as being separated for like three months,

three autumns, or even three years long.

It sounded like infatuated words and crazy talks but it is able to express the heart tunes of people that are separated.

It can stir up the same emotions on the reader.

All lovers would wish to stay by each other's side for day and night, the girl's ear rubbing the boy's shoulders.

Even a short separation is also a hard to endure lengthy time.

With such a good poem, I also cannot help to showcase my poetic skills.

The butterfly hates to leave the shade of the plants.

Winter grieves for the shadow of green robes.

The Luo river has returned to the shore numerous times yet it is still there.

Can only blame the woman I love for being too fickle.

Could it be teacher has someone you love?

This...what a joke!

Everyone knows that the world adores me, Ma Dachun.

Who have you seen that I adore?

It is just today...

I coincidentally am not feeling well. I kept feeling suffocated and short of breath.

I fear that I am sick.

One's heart thinking of someone. One's love already given to somebody.

Not thinking about eating or drinking. Not being able to sleep at night.

Sometimes feeling happy but sometimes also feeling sad.

Then it means that the symptoms of our illness are quite similar.

Could it be that this illness is contagious?

What our lady has is lovesickness.

Lovesick?

No way.

Now our shipyard

has lost half our employees,

but, our workload has not decreased at all. So,

everyone must work harder. The deadline to finish this ship is imminent.

Each person has to do twice the work.

Each person will do twice the work? But the boss isn't giving us twice the salary!

-That's right!-Even if we got double the pay,

-I only have one pair of hands!-That's right!

-That's right!-This Liu Man Tang only ever cares about money!

Suddenly transferring so many workers away and then still asking us to finish the work on time?! Damn it!

That's right! We can't finish it!

You have quite a bad temper. The time wasted on you throwing a fit here, you could have already placed a board on the ship.

Cut the crap later and work hard.

Our Chang Le Shipyard has existed for over a decade.

We survived based on trust!

One's word is worth thousands of gold. Even if the sky falls or the land caves in,

We cannot delay our progress!

Brothers, you have suffered. Work hard later.

Alright, get to work!

How are we supposed to work?

Taking advantage Liu.

You said Boss Liu transferred the brothers away?

I don't know! I heard they opened a new shipyard.

It's very mysterious. No one knows where it is.

Even the brothers that just left cut off communication with everyone.

The person who abducted High Priest wanted to force her to tell them how to construct Cangming.

Right at this time, Liu Man Tang transferred a large group of shipyard workers away.

Furthermore, merfolk have continued to disappear.

Could these incidents be related?

Prince, could those ship laborers have been transferred to secretly construct Cangming?

But what is going on with our missing people?

Let's capture Liu Man Tang!

-If we beat him up, then we'll find out everything!-You can't!

If Liu Mantang really is related to the construction of Cangming and the disappearance of our clan members,

we cannot touch him, or else we will alert the enemy.

Right now, I think there is only one person who can help us.

[Chang Le Shipyard]

Brother Julan! You are really a merman?

That's right.

No wonder you are so familiar with the ocean, and stronger than others!

Oh, right...That day, you were unable to bring out a permit to work and it was even Lu Li who helped you get out of that trouble.

Actually, Brother Julan, you didn't have to hide your identity.

Did I not already tell you when you entered the shipyard that

In our Chang Le Shipyard, we are all brothers. There is no difference between mer and human.

-Don't you think so?-How rude!

Julan is the prince of the merfolk!

You dare to call him your brother?

Jin Lin.

Manager Li, I revealed my identiity to you

because first, I trust you the most.

Second, I have a request.

Brother Julan, you are being too serious! As long as I can do it,

just go ahead and tell me!

We suspect that Liu Man Tang

has to do with the consistent disappearance of merfolk.

No wonder.

Liu Man Tang has been acting suspiciously lately. He never finishes his sentences.

Whenever I argue with him, he will not even reply back.

Based on what I know about him, he must have a big secret.

We just want to know where the transferred shipyard workers are.

If I ask him directly, he definitely won't tell me.

If we want to know the answer, there is only one way.

That is to have Liu Man Tang bring you there himself.

I will go prepare right now.

Let's go!

We will go.

Prince! Do you really think he is on our side,

and will take us to follow his boss, Liu Man Tang?

I trust him.

I know you have a close relationship with him, but even so,

He is also a human. Those that abducted High Priest and the other merpeople are also humans.

Each human is different from the other.

Although there are evil people, there are also good ones.

After all, each person is unique.

But there is a saying that "you know their face but not their heart".

We are not familiar with the human world,

much less the forever mysterious human heart!

Alright, stop talking.

I have made up my mind. Go and tell everyone to cooperate with Li Geng Ji's plan tonight.

Yes.

Boss Liu, don't worry. I will keep an eye on the work.

Go slowly.

Alright, I'll leave first.

Boss Liu, be careful on the road!

Where did they go?

Why are you following me?

You betrayed us?

Say, how come when you work during the daytime, it was as if you have some weakened bone illness?

In the middle of the night, you're doing secret things?

Come out!

Look at you.

You wake up so late every day.

You say you're tired as soon as you start working! So this is where you used your energy!

Aren't you smart?

I personally chose all of you!

I give you all earnest and meaningful advice, teach you to do things hand-in-hand, yet you are able to do such an indecent act?!

Can you really face me and Boss Liu without shame?

If you delay work progress, I'll break your legs!

Let's see if you...dare to...

have a midnight tryst!

Boss Liu. I brought people to catch the lovers. What a coincidence!

Teacher!

Stop! Stop!

Stop hitting her!

But Boss Liu, in this late at night and here in the deep part of the forest,

Why are you here?

Do I have to report my actions to you?

How ridiculous! Hurry and go back!

Yes yes yes. We will go back right away.

Let's go!

Honestly!

Go slowly!

Boss Liu, go slowly!

I never imagined that that old fox would be so alert!

Thank you for saving us just now.

I misunderstood you before.

I will apologize.

There's no need. I already said so long ago.

I think of Brother Julan as my own brother.

Actually, tonight's mission did not go to waste.

Liu Man Tang is the person who captured my teacher and I.

-You're sure?-I saw everything clearly! I cannot be wrong.

I will go kill Liu Mantang now and rescue High Priest.

Stop! High Priest is still in his hands.

If you anger him now, that is equivalent to killing High Priest.

His Highness is right. If we attack Liu Man Tang right now, we'll just make him panic.

Once we have a guarantee of success, then we can move.

This old sly man, Liu Mantang, has always been crafty and careful.

We have alarmed him now. If we want to find another weakness,

it will be even harder.

[Chang Le Lu Manor]

Thankfully, those merfolk didn't dare to touch me. Or else, I

wouldn't be able to come see you, My Lord!

High Priest is still in our hands. They will not easily be hostile to you openly.

But Li Geng Ji and the others are focused on me now!

I am worried that we cannot keep this a secret any longer.

My Lord, what should we do?

A few merfolk followed you once,

and you were frightened enough to wet your pants?

My Lord, I only worked for you to make some money.

But I don't want to lose my life too!

The money you took from me is no small number.

Are the small things you did for me worth that much money?

My Lord, you mean...?

This money

was to make you sell your life to me!

My Lord! Save me! Save me!

I'm begging you!

Just be at ease. I actually did not plan to deal with the merpeople in the shipyard this soon.

Since they want to play with fire, I can only attack first.

A love that is hard to surpass fills the autumn with lights.

The initial inclination after being number one is being emotionally touched.

You even now know how to recite poems and go against me?!

Not surprising. How can one do poetry while starving?

I will eat something first before continuing with my clever words.

Do you miss me?

Don't overthink things! Who would miss you?

Then why is your stomach grumbling?

I just have too much reading in my stomach to be digested!

That is why it is crying and making low noises.

Every day I was here, when did I not wash your clothes?

You don't understand! Only when men have some smell on them

will they be seductive.

That's not called being seductive!

Totally scaring people away with scent.

And you still dare to say you didn't miss me?

A good lad has high aspirations.

The things that I adore are...

all famous mountains, great rivers, the universe, the great wilderness.

The whole mountains have flowers blossoming, everywhere is springtime.

How could I get immobilized by just a wild grass like you?

How was it, Zi Xuan?

There are four guards in front, and eight in the back!

They are all the strongest guards in the manor.

Even when they go to the toilet, someone must stand in for them first.

How can I get out to see Wu Julan?

How about we buy some knockout drops and knock all those guards out?

How about I go set a fire in the back garden to distract them?

Miss! I got it!

Why don't we dig a tunnel in the house?

I gurantee that in less than a month, I can dig up to beyond the wall.

Zi Xuan.

The three-colored cabinet of Lady is broken. Have someone take it out for repair.

I understand.

Why is this chest so heavy?

Just what did she put inside?

Just carry the chest, stop running your mouths!

You men eat and drink pretty well.

Yet you say you're tired as soon as you work! I'm ashamed of you!

Alright, stop and rest your feet.

Miss is treating you all to tea.

Thank you Miss!

Miss!

You dare to ambush me?

I protested, but he just wouldn't listen.

He locked me up too!

It took a lot of effort for me to escape today!

Your brother isn't wrong.

Our identity and statuses are to different.

If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Who told me to love you?

In my eyes, you are the one I like.

Ah Li. I'm afraid your brother's disapproval is just starting.

We will come across more trouble.

So what?

Wu Julan! I don't care who you are or what your identity is.

I am willing to be with you!

Are you afraid of trouble so you're going back on your word?

♫ Previously saw the vastness of the seas ♫

Ah Li. I love you.

Since I love you, I can accept everything you bring with you.

That includes all the happiness and sadness.

Fortune, and struggles.

♫ A book having no words, the paper is too short to describe one's feelings, it's hard to narrate one's yearning ♫

Wu Julan. Tell me a story.

What type of story do you want to hear?

♫ Your suddenness, ♫

I want to hear the 'Biography of Huo Xiaoyu'. A lot of ship laborers were talking about this story.

♫ You are in the vast seas while I was in the galaxy when we met our karma ♫

In the capital, there was a poet named Li Yi.

He was born in Longxi. He has toured around all the ancient battle sites of the Han and Tang dynasty in that area

and has written a lot of poems about battle sentiments.

♫ Previously saw the fireworks in the desert ♫

MR. MA!!!!!

MR. MA!!!!!

PLEASE WAIT!

What is it?

Sir, I heard that you are really talented and knowledgeable, that is why--

Stop stop stop.

It is very normal for you all to like me.

But you must not do impractical actions.

I am afraid that if you are not able to get me, you will be extremely grieved and be in pain until you die.

I do have someone I like, but it's not you!

It's him!

I am the middle of a crush, so I want you to help me write a poem

to express my fiery affections!

You found the right person. Listen up.

The pear flower in the middle of wind and rain sighs about loneliness.

Under the moon, shyly placing one's yearning on a jade.

Every night, one's clear tears dampen one's clothes.

My love, hurry and hug me.

It's bad!

I am in the middle of a crush!

The last line is okay. The earlier ones are too sad!

Help create a more happy one. Make it more common and easy to understand.

How about this?

The lady was born to be naturally charming.

A body full of congealed fat especially around the waste.

If this lifetime I am not able to marry with my love,

I will be a pig in the next lifetime and circle in front of my love.

Ma Dachun! Who are you cursing?

You're the one who will be a pig in his next life! You'll be a pig forever!

No!

-Who told you to talk about me?-Stop!

Ma Dachun! Stop right there!
