[Difficulty: 4 out of 5 stars]
22
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:57,520
You're selling your body to save your father.
23
00:01:58,970 --> 00:02:01,380
My father is stricken with a grave illness.
24
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,250
We have no money to seek medical help.
25
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:12,750
It is rare for anyone to show such filial piety as you have.
26
00:02:13,950 --> 00:02:16,960
Take this silver tael.
27
00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:25,910
Thank you for saving me. I will go and buy the medicine for my father immediately. Then I will follow you, Benefactor.
28
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:29,390
I will work as a slave for you without complaint for the rest of my life.
29
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:34,480
The rest of your life is too long. I need you for just one night.
30
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,410
When you have settled your father's affair tomorrow, come to the Mishi Fabric Store to look for me.
31
00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:45,760
Madam!
32
00:02:46,990 --> 00:02:48,020
What else?
33
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,180
Aren't you afraid that I might not go there?
34
00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:52,220
Would you do that?
35
00:02:54,450 --> 00:02:58,290
- I won't.
- See you tomorrow.
36
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:24,000
Do you like it?
37
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,560
I do.
38
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:32,290
It suits you quite well.
39
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:35,600
Wear this outfit.
40
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,040
- Is this for me?
- Of course, it is.
41
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,230
But there is a condition to it.
42
00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:44,230
From this moment on, you'll pretend to be my daughter.
43
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:50,850
Is this appropriate?
44
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:53,540
Why not? I need you for only one night.
45
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:57,110
You can return to your father tomorrow and continue to be filial to him.
46
00:03:57,110 --> 00:04:01,160
No, no. I feel that
47
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,480
since you are so young and beautiful,
48
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,190
I will cause you to appear older if I address you as my mother.
49
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:12,370
Unnecessary worries. Here.
50
00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:15,360
Let me hear you address me as "Mother."
51
00:04:21,090 --> 00:04:22,820
Mother.
52
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:29,570
Good daughter.
53
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:32,160
Let us take a trip outside.
54
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,320
Where are we going?
55
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,470
Yixian Winery.
56
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:44,710
Do you know why I brought you here?
57
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Because today is your, my daughter's, birthday.
58
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,730
But today is not my--
59
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:03,470
If you say it is, then it is.
60
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:06,020
Thank you, Mother.
61
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:10,660
Do you know what is most famous in Yixian Winery?
62
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:20,670
Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. The wine in the winery is also not bad.
63
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:23,960
Its name "Yixian" is taken to mean
64
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,590
"the gleam of a Dutchman's pipe" cactus.
65
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,430
Come!
66
00:06:05,090 --> 00:06:09,210
Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long. As you all are well aware,
67
00:06:09,210 --> 00:06:11,950
there is a Dutchman's Pipe Cactus in my Yixian Winery.
68
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:16,890
It is known as the "Golden Sparrow Waiting for the Night." It is a rare treasure that is not found for thousands of miles.
69
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:21,750
And tonight is the time when this Dutchman's Pipe Cactus will bloom.
70
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:23,550
- Good. - Good.
71
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,680
There is a slip of paper on the table in front of the each of you.
72
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,890
Whosoever wishes to appreciate the flower can write the price on the paper slip.
73
00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:35,660
Pass them to the waiter and I'll check the paper slips on the spot.
74
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:40,050
The esteemed guest who has bid the highest price will be announced publicly.
75
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:43,020
This esteemed guest can then follow me to the rear courtyard
76
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:46,090
and enjoy the blooming of the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus
77
00:06:46,090 --> 00:06:50,290
while sampling my gift of a jar of the best quality honey wine.
78
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:52,870
Did I explain myself clearly?
79
00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:55,470
Everyone, please commence.
80
00:06:55,470 --> 00:07:01,130
- Here, here. - Please take a seat.- Please.

[Vermilion Bird Seat]
82
00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:37,910
I do not have many demands.
83
00:07:39,030 --> 00:07:42,340
Just do as I have instructed,
84
00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:44,570
I will surely not make it hard for you.
85
00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:53,810
I'm in a difficult position this time around.
86
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:57,820
Two of my esteemed guests have bid the same amount. They are
87
00:07:57,820 --> 00:08:01,670
the Vermilion Bird Seat and Black Tortoise Seat.
88
00:08:01,670 --> 00:08:05,770
Aiyo. This is something never encountered before in tens of years.
89
00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:09,050
What shall be done about it?
90
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:27,020
To bid again may cause us to miss out on the blooming of the cactus.
91
00:08:28,010 --> 00:08:32,350
I wonder if the esteemed guest at Vermillion Bird Seat
92
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:35,690
is willing to
93
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:40,120
enjoy this fine wine and auspicious time with me? And to get thoroughly drunk, too?
94
00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:44,410
Exactly my intention.
95
00:08:44,410 --> 00:08:47,280
- After you.
- After you.
96
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,970
My other esteemed guests, please enjoy yourselves at your leisure. Call me if you need anything.
97
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:11,320
This is...
98
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,370
She is my daughter.
99
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:17,170
Daughter?
100
00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:20,490
She does look a little like you.
101
00:09:20,490 --> 00:09:24,140
Today is my daughter's birthday.
102
00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:28,440
Are you willing to join us, mother and daughter, and drink a toast?
103
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:32,950
What a coincidence. It is also my birthday today.
104
00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:38,180
I'd like to drink a toast to you. I wish for you
105
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:40,370
to get everything you desire, Miss.
106
00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:54,310
This is the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. It is very beautiful indeed.
107
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:59,180
When I gave birth to my daughter, it coincided with the blooming of the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus.
108
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,860
I was in such pain as though I was being ripped from the inside. I wanted to die.
109
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:07,660
But it was still blooming unhurriedly.
110
00:10:07,660 --> 00:10:10,430
It's really heartless.
111
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:17,260
Looks like you owe your mother quite a lot.
112
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:23,000
This is the first time I've seen the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. I've come especially for it.
113
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,370
At this time every year,
114
00:10:25,370 --> 00:10:29,040
I come here to celebrate my daughter's birthday.
115
00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:34,680
It's so good to have a mother like you.
116
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:40,510
What about your mother?
117
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:49,470
She's not here anymore.
118
00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:57,510
Do you mean that your mother has passed away?
119
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,470
It has nothing to do with you.
120
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:03,210
My apologies. I was disrespectful. I just feel that
121
00:11:03,210 --> 00:11:08,300
my mother is usually compassionate. If you are willing to tell us about it,
122
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,090
perhaps my mother can accept you as her daughter.
123
00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:22,330
The flower is about to bloom. With such a pretty view,
124
00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:25,490
let's not bring up these sad things
125
00:11:25,490 --> 00:11:28,150
Let's talk about something else.
126
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,460
Like what?
127
00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:35,850
For example, you two.
128
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:41,060
Which one of you is here to kill me?
129
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:49,860
It has been a long time since I returned to Guihua City,
130
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:53,380
but this doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on.
131
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:58,480
Tell me outright. Who is the one who wants to kill me
132
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,040
and take my place as a Heavenly Assassin?
133
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:12,030
Both of you!
134
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,580
Can't we wait until the flowers fall before talking about this?
135
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:20,380
Today is your day of suffering. It is also this young lady's birthday.
136
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:24,220
If we start fighting now, wouldn't it be a waste?
137
00:12:27,370 --> 00:12:30,330
Since I've already been revealed, that works too.
138
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:41,780
There is no need for
139
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,130
shadows to be involved in the battle for the position of Heavenly Assassin.
140
00:12:47,420 --> 00:12:52,150
Such a pity for a beautiful lady of sixteen years old.
141
00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:54,920
If your mother were still alive,
142
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400
she would definitely feel miserable.
143
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,200
What a joke!
144
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:09,520
Don't you know that those from Guihua City are always ready to strike at any given time?
145
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:20,230
Tell me. Why did you come to kill me?
146
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:22,110
City Master thinks that you are getting old.
147
00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:25,200
Your beauty has faded and love has abandoned you. You are now useless.
148
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,000
As expected, that is really Cha Luo's style.
149
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,600
You know how to use fragrance?
150
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,080
Don't you know how to do it, too?
151
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,210
Why don't we use fragrances to battle for victory and defeat?
152
00:13:54,210 --> 00:13:58,960
Little girl, who told you that I know how to use fragrance?
153
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,910
- What do you mean?
- I stopped using fragrances a long time ago.
154
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:06,530
My sense of smell was destroyed since long ago.
155
00:14:06,530 --> 00:14:08,450
You are definitely here to disrupt things.
156
00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:11,060
I am here to supervise the battle by the order of the City Master.
157
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:13,790
Stop trying to act innocent.
158
00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:17,510
You came especially to tell me that Cha Wu is an expert in using fragrance a few days ago.
159
00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:20,190
You wanted me to deliberate on my layout.
160
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:23,290
Your present layout has absolutely no difference from the one you planned previously.
161
00:14:23,290 --> 00:14:25,250
If you had listened to my advice
162
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:27,230
and used the unique fragrance that you bring with you everywhere,
163
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:29,970
you wouldn't have ended up in this position.
164
00:14:34,390 --> 00:14:36,740
No matter what your original intentions were,
165
00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:42,370
you are my daughter tonight. You promised me.
166
00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:46,080
There is no one who will stand in our way now.
167
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,150
We can fight to the death now.
168

00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:48,560
Look. The flower has bloomed.
170
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,390
The flower looked just like that
171
00:16:52,390 --> 00:16:56,840
the year I gave birth to you. It blooms so slowly.
172
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:23,880
I have not used all my power yet.
173
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Let's go again!
174
00:17:43,340 --> 00:17:45,370
This can't be possible.
175
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,050
Bullhead Sandalwood. It is difficult to find in this world.
176
00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:57,860
Looks like you have not seen it before.
177
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,660
Can you tell me, Miss,
178
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:05,870
where that Bullhead Sandalwood
179
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:08,210
came from?
180
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:11,630
It's the protective talisman that my mother gave to me.
181
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:19,340
In the year I turned one,
182
00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:22,130
my mother left our home.
183
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:24,780
She abandoned my father and me.
184
00:18:26,090 --> 00:18:28,320
My father soothed me by saying that
185
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:34,140
my mother was the Jiutian XuannĂĽ, beautiful and alluring.
186
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,200
However, the ways of immortals and humans are far apart and distant.
187
00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:40,280
She had no choice but to leave.
188
00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:45,750
But there will come a day... there will come a day
189
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,220
when she will remember me.
190
00:18:51,580 --> 00:18:54,450
Remember the kindness my father had shown to her
191
00:18:56,090 --> 00:19:00,670
and return to reunite with us.
192
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,250
I found out later that
193
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,500
she cheated my father out of all his wealth.
194
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,230
This Bullhead Sandalwood
195
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:18,930
was the love token between my father and her.
196
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:23,830
My father, who was infatuated with love, kept it all this while.
197
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,230
He was reluctant to sell it.
198
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:29,420
Is your father still around?
199
00:19:30,820 --> 00:19:35,630
Dead. He was gravely ill.
200
00:19:35,630 --> 00:19:40,180
We had no money for medical treatment. He passed away just like that.
201
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,030
I have a wish actually.
202
00:19:46,730 --> 00:19:48,920
That is, to find
203
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,260
the cheat who caused my father's deep devotion.
204
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:59,200
She was in that place known as Guihua City.
205
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,850
Therefore, the one who must die
206
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,470
in this battle for Heavenly Assassin
207
00:20:05,390 --> 00:20:07,870
must be you.
208
00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:27,850
Daughter.
209
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,690
I am your mother.
210
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:36,670
Zheng'er...
211
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:41,980
I found you at last.
212
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Who are you exactly?
213
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,490
Zheng'er,
214
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:55,890
the year I gave birth to you
215
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,300
was exactly when the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus bloomed.
216
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:03,740
As the petals fell to the ground
217
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:08,130
you were born with a loud cry, too.
218
00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:12,900
You were so little back then.
219
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:18,080
I had wanted to go into seclusion
220
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,720
and live well with your father and you.
221
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,890
I didn't think that
222
00:21:23,890 --> 00:21:28,830
Lan He would find me eventually. I had no choice but to leave.
223
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:31,530
The day I left
224
00:21:31,530 --> 00:21:36,070
was your first birthday.
225
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:40,630
I forced myself to wait till the flower petals fell to the ground before leaving,
226
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:44,710
never to see you ever again.
227
00:21:47,060 --> 00:21:51,820
Zheng'er, I've found you again.
228
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,760
Let me touch you. Let me touch you.
229
00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:02,000
But...
230
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,070
But my mission...
231
00:22:07,790 --> 00:22:10,260
I... I...
232
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:12,150
I understand.
233
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,120
Being able to celebrate another birthday with you
234
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,290
is enough for me.
235
00:22:20,290 --> 00:22:23,860
Come. Attack me.
236
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:28,610
Do it.
237
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,230
I accepted City Master’s orders to come and supervise the fight.
238
00:22:43,230 --> 00:22:47,400
The outcome of the fight has already been decided. Cha Wu has been defeated. Kill her!
239
00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:56,900
Chang An has already sent away your shadows. You must leave quickly.
240
00:23:01,210 --> 00:23:03,800
Mother, let’s go.
241
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:19,140
Mother. Mother.
242
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,030
Mother.
243
00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:33,390
Zheng’er, listen to me. Leave Guihua City.
244
00:23:33,390 --> 00:23:35,700
The farther, the better.
245
00:23:50,150 --> 00:23:52,290
Mother!
246
00:23:58,250 --> 00:24:01,850
Mother? Mother!
247
00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:10,770
Mother!
248
00:24:32,750 --> 00:24:37,420
Your mother’s corpse has already been transported back to Guihua City.
249
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,160
You knew all along.
250
00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:44,610
Is that right?
251
00:24:46,770 --> 00:24:50,420
Say it. You must’ve already known.
252
00:24:52,670 --> 00:24:56,820
That’s right. City Master arranged the situation
253
00:24:57,370 --> 00:25:00,400
in order for you and your mother to kill each other.
254
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,710
I thought City Master liked me
255
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:16,170
and deliberately gave me an opportunity to climb up to the top.
256
00:25:18,790 --> 00:25:21,670
Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
257
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:24,960
Guihua City has thousands of eyes.
258
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,870
I already did my best to notify you.
259
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:36,550
The City Master that I’ve fawned over at all costs
260
00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:42,830
surprisingly had been thinking of a plot to harm me.
261
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,100
Yet, you, who is a thorn in my side,
262
00:25:50,490 --> 00:25:55,820
actually thought of every possible method to help me.
263
00:26:01,420 --> 00:26:05,030
Isn’t this too funny?
264
00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,060
It has already reached this point.
265
00:26:08,830 --> 00:26:10,750
Please contain your grief.
266
00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:14,920
Is there anything else
267
00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:22,190
about my mother that I don’t know about?
268
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,380
Your mother’s mission that year
269
00:26:27,470 --> 00:26:29,920
was precisely to win your father’s trust
270
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,380
and swindle away his wealth and farm.
271
00:26:33,380 --> 00:26:38,400
Unexpectedly, your mother truly fell for your father
272
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,810
and was unwilling to return to Guihua City.
273
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,140
Afterward, she gave birth to you.
274
00:26:45,550 --> 00:26:50,040
You know about what happened after that.
275
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,880
That’s why every year
276
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,130
on my birthday, she would
277
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:02,870
look for a girl to pretend to be me
278
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:07,610
and go see the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus together.
279
00:27:15,220 --> 00:27:19,690
It’s almost sunset. We should return for debriefing.
280
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,840
I don’t want to return.
281
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,250
I don’t want to return, either;
282
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,230
but you and I have nowhere else to go.
283
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:40,040
Let’s form an alliance. All right?
284
00:27:47,410 --> 00:27:49,890
How about we discuss a plan?
285
00:27:49,890 --> 00:27:52,040
Maybe in the near future,
286
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,320
one of us will be the City Master and the other a Supreme Assassin.
287
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,050
We can then control the entire Guihua City.
288
00:28:03,570 --> 00:28:05,760
Your mother’s final wish
289
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,530
was for you to leave Guihua City.
290
00:28:08,530 --> 00:28:10,820
But she had been running away her whole life.
291
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,580
In the end, she couldn’t escape
292
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:18,360
and ended up dying tragically.
293
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:22,660
I’ve already thought about it. Only by becoming more powerful,
294
00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:26,970
will I be able to control Guihua City firmly
295
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,070
and take revenge for my mother.
296
00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:39,350
Unfortunately, you’re not standing high enough
297
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:41,730
and you can't see far enough.
298
00:28:44,930 --> 00:28:47,290
You don't deserve your ambition.
299
00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:54,640
I will let you see my foresight and sincerity!
300
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:03,390
Subtitles and Timing brought to you
by the Bloody Romantics @viki.com
301
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,080
Master Mei.
302
00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:11,550
Have you taken care of the funeral arrangements for Cha Wu?
303
00:29:11,550 --> 00:29:13,130
Yes.
304
00:29:15,530 --> 00:29:17,140
Very well.
305
00:29:19,180 --> 00:29:23,830
We should be on our way. I’ll go get Wan Xiang.
306
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,660
Master Mei.
307
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,430
That’s right. The information about Cha Wu that you delivered that night was very useful. Thank you.
308
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:41,650
But... this doesn’t make up for anything.
309
00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:54,830
[Prince Ning's Manor]
310
00:29:59,870 --> 00:30:03,260
It sounds like the Heavenly Assassin
311
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:05,520
will be replaced.
312
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,030
Yes.
313
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,430
Then I must stay at Prince Ning Manor for a few more days.
314
00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:14,700
You return to Guihua City first to watch Cha Luo closely.
315
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,170
However, don’t argue or clash with her.
316
00:30:17,810 --> 00:30:19,580
I understand.
317
00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:29,930
How is the inquiry about the salt business?
318
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:31,570
It’s just as you expected.
319
00:30:31,570 --> 00:30:34,090
The elders of the Han family are too busy to attend to the salt business.
320
00:30:34,090 --> 00:30:37,170
They handed it over to Han Xiu’s younger brother, Han Yue, to manage.
321
00:30:37,170 --> 00:30:40,620
However, Han Yue continues to investigate his older brother’s death
322
00:30:40,620 --> 00:30:44,360
and transferred the business to the Chief of the Wulin Alliance, Fang Ge.
323
00:30:47,170 --> 00:30:49,220
Fang Ge?
324
00:30:54,230 --> 00:30:56,550
He is really troublesome.
325
00:30:59,460 --> 00:31:01,930
Do you want me to go and deal with him?
326
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,520
That’s not necessary. I’m guessing he’s already here.
327
00:31:19,450 --> 00:31:23,320
I, Fang Ge, seek an audience with Prince Ning.
328
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,930
I heard you were blind.
329
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:33,150
Unexpectedly, you can play this black and white game, too.
330
00:31:33,150 --> 00:31:37,730
I can only fumble around with the pieces. Go ahead.
331
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,830
Huan Tan once said
332
00:31:52,830 --> 00:31:56,560
that the game of Go is actually regarded as the art of war.
333
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,780
An expert doesn’t pay attention to the fight.
334
00:31:58,780 --> 00:32:01,160
Instead, he pays attention to promoting the ambush.
335
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,960
He’ll gradually surround the enemy to gain the upper hand.
336
00:32:06,050 --> 00:32:08,860
You elaborately set up a trap this time
337
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:11,910
and succeeded in assassinating Minister Han Xiu.
338
00:32:11,910 --> 00:32:15,760
I wanted to come this time to ask you, Prince Ning,
339
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,770
what is your intention?
340
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:22,830
Mencius also said, playing chess is a trivial skill.
341
00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:26,640
But if you aren’t completely devoted to it, you won’t learn it.
342
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,860
Nowadays, I’m an idle prince.
343
00:32:28,860 --> 00:32:31,040
I can only drink tea
344
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,160
and play chess to find some consolation.
345
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,400
Based on what you said,
346
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,110
you had nothing to do with the assassination of Han Xiu?
347
00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:46,140
You’re right, Chief.
348
00:32:46,140 --> 00:32:47,760
The order to assassinate Han Xiu
349
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,880
indeed came from Guihua City, which belongs to me.
350
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,580
You killed my close friend.
351
00:32:52,580 --> 00:32:56,090
How will you explain it to me?
352
00:32:56,090 --> 00:32:59,700
Guihua City makes business off of assassinations.
353
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:04,040
Alliance Chief, how do you want me to explain it?
354
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,160
Who is the employer?
355
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,970
Tell me and I will pay whatever price you ask.
356
00:33:27,290 --> 00:33:29,320
Alliance Chief Fang,
357
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,890
do not joke about this.
358
00:33:32,890 --> 00:33:36,490
My Guihua City holds a position in the Jianghu realm.
359
00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:38,340
Besides being a jack of all trades,
360
00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:40,990
the city relies on abiding strictly by rules.
361
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:44,190
Not divulging the identity of any employer
362
00:33:44,190 --> 00:33:47,510
is the number one duty of my secret assassination ministry.
363
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,540
Prince Ning, are you really rejecting me?
364
00:33:53,390 --> 00:33:55,210
I sincerely have no comment.
365
00:33:55,210 --> 00:33:56,850
Fine.
366
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,960
Then, I won’t make things difficult for you. I can settle for the next best thing.
367
00:34:05,210 --> 00:34:06,810
What?
368
00:34:06,810 --> 00:34:09,870
Hand over Han Xiu’s assassin.
369
00:34:09,870 --> 00:34:13,050
It’ll be convenient for me and you.
370
00:34:13,050 --> 00:34:17,170
Besides, you still owe me a favor.
371
00:34:17,170 --> 00:34:19,860
Go back and tell Gong Zi
372
00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:25,210
that this Guajian Grass will be my greeting gift to him. He is now indebted to me.
373
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:30,730
Alliance Chief Fang, may I think it over?
374
00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:35,120
If you don’t hand over that young lady,
375
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,460
I won’t be able to explain it to the Han family.
376
00:34:38,460 --> 00:34:42,030
At that time, not only will I die,
377
00:34:42,030 --> 00:34:45,660
other Jianghu sects will come and cause a disturbance, too.
378
00:34:45,660 --> 00:34:49,060
Since Guihua City is established in the Jianghu,
379
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:51,730
it’s inevitable that it’ll seek to be recognized by those in the Jianghu.
380
00:34:51,730 --> 00:34:55,140
Otherwise, people will exclude it from the Jianghu realm
381
00:34:55,140 --> 00:34:59,810
and it might even disappear. That's not impossible.
382
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,170
I need some time.
383
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:08,370
How many days do you want?
384
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:13,130
One day?
385
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,340
One month.
386
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:18,820
Don't push your limit!
387
00:35:18,820 --> 00:35:21,670
Will you listen to my explanation first?
388
00:35:26,830 --> 00:35:28,710
Alliance Chief Fang,
389
00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:33,300
I know you want to use this assassin
390
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:38,190
to give the Wulin Alliance and Han Yue an explanation.
391
00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:45,170
However, the order to assassinate Minister Han, Han Xiu, was assigned by Cha Luo.
392
00:35:45,170 --> 00:35:48,350
I only know that the young lady is an Earthly Assassin,
393
00:35:48,350 --> 00:35:52,320
but I don’t know which of the twelve Earthly Assassins she is.
394
00:35:55,980 --> 00:35:59,710
Whether you believe me or not is beyond my control.
395
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:04,830
However, if handing over a mere Earthly Assassin can ensure the safety of my entire Guihua City,
396
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,200
why would I lie?
397
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:13,820
That’s why I wanted to ask you for a month
398
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:15,910
and use this one month’s time
399
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:19,100
to find out who assassinated Minister Han, Han Xiu.
400
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,640
I will personally transport her to your manor
401
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,090
and personally hand her over to you.
402
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:33,230
All right. I will give you one month.
403
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,610
City Master. City Master?
404
00:38:04,310 --> 00:38:05,950
City Master.
405
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:19,470
I'm fine. I was dreaming.
406
00:38:23,380 --> 00:38:25,880
How was the Heavenly Assassin competition?
407
00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:31,790
Cha Wu was defeated.
408
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,270
It’s indeed as I expected.
409
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:41,970
Have you made proper arrangements for the aftermath?
410
00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:43,750
Yes.
411
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:03,690
Reporting to City Master. These are the Qilin blood gu retrieved from the body of Heavenly Assassin Cha Wu.
412
00:39:03,690 --> 00:39:05,770
There is a total of twenty.
413
00:39:06,530 --> 00:39:10,330
Cha Wu is dead. I’m deeply saddened by it.
414
00:39:10,330 --> 00:39:11,980
But Guihua City
415
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:15,830
can only tolerate the loneliness of strong individuals.
416
00:39:15,830 --> 00:39:19,620
It doesn’t show mercy to those who are weak.
417
00:39:19,620 --> 00:39:23,490
Based on this point, all of you did very well.
418
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:28,360
I’m making a proclamation. Wan Xiang will immediately become a Heavenly Assassin.
419
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,930
Since Wan Mei achieved merit for supervising the fight,
420
00:39:30,930 --> 00:39:34,760
she will keep the Earthly Assassin position.
421
00:39:37,390 --> 00:39:39,920
- Thank you City Master.
- Divide the twenty blood gu insects
422
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,390
into two. Each of you takes half.
423
00:39:43,390 --> 00:39:49,020
City Master, I only supervised the fight. I dare not take credit for the achievement.
424
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:52,250
The Qilin blood gu belong exclusively to Heavenly Assassins.
425
00:39:52,820 --> 00:39:55,350
All of them should belong to Wan Xiang.
426
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:59,100
You've never cared about the rules before.
427
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:01,500
Why are you caring about the rules now?
428
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,860
It’s not that I didn’t abide by the rules previously.
429
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:07,170
Rather, I didn’t have enough experience and didn’t understand the importance of becoming strong.
430
00:40:07,170 --> 00:40:08,950
Now,
431
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:14,190
I've experienced life and death once
432
00:40:14,190 --> 00:40:16,660
and you've repeatedly given me sincere advice, City Master.
433
00:40:16,660 --> 00:40:20,490
You said that Guihua City is ruled by the strong, home for the victorious.
434
00:40:20,490 --> 00:40:23,680
Whereas there’s only death for the weak.
435
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,980
I recently understood the profound meaning of this.
436
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,540
Although I’m only a mere Earthly Assassin,
437
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:32,620
I don’t consider myself weak.
438
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:35,870
I’m willing to rely on my own efforts to get to the top position I deserve.
439
00:40:35,870 --> 00:40:39,320
I pledge my loyalty and life to you, City Master.
440
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,910
You're looking prettier
441
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:46,710
and you're speaking better, too.
442
00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:49,710
Fine. Then I'll listen to you.
443
00:40:50,310 --> 00:40:53,290
The twenty blood gu insects will all belong to Wan Xiang.
444
00:40:53,290 --> 00:40:54,560
All of you leave.
445
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,490
- Yes.
- Yes.
446
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:08,020
