[Peacock in Wonderland]

[Episode 13]

Holy Envoy, slowly.

Please be gentle.

-Slowly. -Is this what I can hear?

Slowly.

This is Flowers Oil produced by Guanbuzhu.

Once applied,

it can unblock all the meridians.

I wouldn't just tell anyone about it.

I'm willing to try it.

Oh no, there's no scar.

This is...

my first time meeting you.

I got carried away.

I'm leaving.

Please wait a moment, Holy Envoy.

I feel a strong connection with you upon our first meeting.

Please accept it.

If you ever wish to see me again,

just use this.

Okay.

As long as you come to me,

I'll be there.

Greetings, sir.

Have you seen her?

Yes.

I know what are you thinking.

But remember,

don't let your feelings dictate your actions.

Yes, sir.

What a pity.

I've put in so much effort,

yet I haven't caught one single assassin.

Weren't you quite enjoying it, Holy Envoy?

Why the pity?

I wasn't enjoying it.

It was only for investigating the case.

Exactly.

It was only for investigating the case.

Let me tell you.

I've already had people secretly observing the Moon Pavilion.

If it's truly the headquarters of the Flowers Kill,

they'll definitely slip up.

Here comes the soup.

Lai.

What soup is it?

White Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup.

It's my favorite.

Here.

Serve me a bowl.

-Thank you. -Here.

Qiang, do you want some?

Moqian.

Holy Envoy,

didn't you just say you had a stomachache

and wanted to go back?

I didn't say that.

Your Excellency,

if you want to eat it...

Lord Li.

Just sit down and have some food. There are so many dishes.

Come on.

Stop looking at them.

Lord Li.

Your Excellency.

We have them all at home.

I haven't finished yet.

-Qiang. -I haven’t finished yet.

-Lord Li. -Bye, Rong Yu.

My Lord.

Moqian.

It was my fault that day.

-I... -Yu.

You don't need to explain.

It was an emergency,

whoever you chose to save, it was understandable.

I've long forgotten about

what happened that day.

You don't need to dwell on it either.

That's good to hear.

I thought you were upset.

Okay.

As long as it's okay between us.

Why did we leave so soon?

I haven't finished my meal yet.

Your Excellency, couldn't you see

that they had something to talk about?

Now that you mention it, it seems so.

Young Master Rong wanted to see Moqian several times

but couldn't.

She risked her life to save you.

Are you not moved at all?

Even without her help, I could have dodged that attack.

I didn't need her to save me.

Listen to yourself.

Do you have a conscience?

Conscience?

Your Excellency, were you really just giving Qing Jian a massage

in that room?

Not just that, of course.

Mr. Qing Jian is gentle and considerate.

We had a delightful conversation.

From being strangers at the beginning,

we ended up appreciating each other.

It was like we had known each other for ages.

Most importantly,

his

greatest virtue

is sincerity.

Unlike someone,

who lies in both big and small matters

and doesn't speak a word of truth.

Not only that,

he also highly praised my skill

and gave me a gift.

This is the key

that connects our souls.

What is it made of?

What are you doing?

This is a gift that someone else gave to me!

I'll keep it for you.

The Moon Pavilion is not a place to be taken lightly.

Without my company,

you'd better not go there often, Your Excellency.

The Peacock Sect is just ahead.

Your Excellency, you can go back on your own.

I'll stop here.

How arrogant.

Who do you think you are?

I must teach you a lesson.

Lai, go.

Maybe next time.

The weather is dry.

Be careful with candles.

-Grandpa, I’m hungry. -The weather is dry.

You are hungry?

-Let me get something for you to eat. -Be careful with candles.

Baby?

Baby!

Baby!

Master,

recently, several children in the city have gone missing one after another,

and we don't know if they are still alive.

Bring them in.

Master!

Holy Envoy.

Please, administer justice for us!

Don't worry.

Take your time to explain.

Last night,

I saw my child fall asleep.

But when I woke up,

my child was gone.

There was only a blood-red flower left on the bed.

These villains.

How dare they!

How dare they kidnap children within Peacock City!

Rest assured.

We will thoroughly investigate this matter

and find the children.

Thank you, Master!

Thank you, Master!

Thank you, Master!

Thank you, Master!

Mother,

I'm afraid it's related to the Flowers Kill.

Rest assured.

Leave this matter to me.

Okay.

Holy Envoy, please investigate with Young Master Rong

and assist her.

Yes.

We haven't found the previous assassins,

and now there are children missing.

Your Flowers Kill has become the scapegoat again.

It's "our" Flowers Kill.

Holy Envoy, you're also a member of the Flowers Kill now.

Don't forget that.

How could you say that?

Before I joined,

the Flowers Kill was a feared, cool

and mysterious organization.

Why did it become a scapegoat after I joined in?

Maybe we should rename it to "Scapegoat Kill".

The Flowers Kill has too many enemies.

I'd like to resign again.

If you don't say anything, Lord Li,

I'll take that as a yes.

Your Excellency, don't you know

that people who don't keep their word will have their tongues cut out?

Now you're also one of the scapegoats

in the Flowers Kill.

You can't run away.

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Somebody help me!

-Stop! -Stop, Qiang!

What’s wrong?

-Wait for me in the car. -Help! Help!

Help me.

There are bad guys over there chasing me.

Qiang,

go and see what happened.

Yes.

Don't be afraid.

Shen Tong?

[Li's Mansion]

Where are we?

This is Brother Li's home.

Don't worry.

There won't be any bad guys here.

Tong.

Have you clearly seen

what the villain looks like?

I don't remember.

When did you two have a child?

Father,

this child...

Since you already have a de facto marriage,

and your child is already this big,

why bother hiding it from me?

We didn't...

Holy Envoy,

although Muyang is your man now,

etiquette must be observed.

You still need to fulfill the marriage ceremony.

Uncle Li, don't worry.

I

will definitely marry Lord Li with the highest ceremony.

Lord Li, remember get on the bridal sedan obediently.

Your Excellency,

it concerns my virtue.

You can't...

I am doing this for your virtue.

Uncle Li, see?

Lord Li doesn't want to marry me.

Son, you are so foolish.

The Holy Envoy has agreed.

Why don't you say yes instantly?

This is...

It's not the time for you to be reserved.

He's not your grandson!

He's not your grandson.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, I'm hungry.

You are hungry?

Let me prepare you something to eat now.

Let's go.

He's so close to me when he calls me Grandpa.

But you don't even want to admit that he is your son.

Let's go.

Your Excellency.

Marriage is not a trifling matter.

It might be a joke to you, but to others, it may not.

If someone listened

and believed it...

Who would believe that?

Do you believe it?

Of course, I don't believe it.

Don't worry.

I will never marry you,

Lord Li.

Chief,

what do you need me for?

Lately, you've been absent from the sect every day.

It's inappropriate.

I've been investigating

the trafficking case recently.

You are the Holy Envoy.

You have your own responsibilities.

How can you be busy investigating cases every day?

Though it's a task entrusted by Master Rong,

you can occasionally cooperate.

There's no need to take it seriously.

Tomorrow,

you go and tender your resignation to Young Master Rong.

Tendering my resignation?

I can't do that.

We haven't found the children yet.

Besides,

isn't it in our doctrine

that we should benefit the people?

Why are we turning a blind eye

and standing idly by now?

I'm not asking you to stand idly by.

But things need to be prioritized.

You are the Holy Envoy of our sect,

naturally, you have your own responsibilities.

Holy Envoy.

Come here.

Holy Envoy.

Although you've recently descended to this world,

you prayed for rain

and care about the people.

I highly praise that.

However, since you've been in the sect for a short time

and are not yet familiar with the affairs of the sect,

it's not appropriate for me to entrust you with heavy responsibilities.

In the future, as you become more experienced in handling matters,

you will have the ability to serve as the Deputy Chief.

When the time is ripe,

even the position of the Chief

will be yours.

Thank you for your appreciation, Chief.

Rest assured.

Once I find those children,

I will definitely strive to bring glory to our sect.

[Missing Person Notice]

These missing children all have several commonalities:

regardless of their wealth, they are all boys,

and similar in age to Shen Tong,

ranging from eight to ten years old.

Although they were born in different years,

their birthdays are all in this month.

Shen Tong mentioned before

that he entered the city to celebrate his birthday.

Now, with such tight security,

how dare these traffickers commit crimes?

Are they trying to meet some performance indicators?

They must have been selected.

It's definitely not as simple as human trafficking.

I sent people to investigate several times before,

but still haven't found any trace.

They are very cunning,

seemingly having realized that we would take action,

so suddenly there's no movement.

If this continues,

who knows how many more children will suffer.

Since we can't find them now,

let's make them come to us.

Let's play along with their trick

to lure them out, how about it?

Do you mean

using a child as bait

to lure them out?

This is too risky.

Where can we borrow a child?

And whose parents would be willing to lend one?

-Yeah. -I can do it.

I can be the bait.

No.

You're so young.

How can we put you in danger?

Besides, your parents aren't around.

We can't make the decision for them.

I'm not young.

I'm already 8 years old.

And I'm smart.

I'm sure I can help you catch those bad people.

Tong,

are you really not afraid?

I'm not afraid.

Brother Li is so capable.

If there's any danger, he will definitely protect me.

If I'm with him all the time,

it should be fine.

Well,

you two really look like father and son.

Right?

If so,

I'll be your father.

Okay.

I'll pretend to be your mom.

Young Master,

you should be in charge of the whole thing from behind the scenes.

It's not convenient for you to show up.

Why is that?

Who in this city doesn't know who you are?

That makes sense.

Well,

Sister Holy Envoy can be my mom.

That's not a bad idea.

Tong,

from now on, I'll be your mom.

Are they from the Western Region?

Look at their outfits. Right?

That man is so handsome.

What kind of taste is that?

Look at you dressing like this. You're not handsome at all.

Don't be afraid.

You shouldn't judge people solely based on appearance.

What's more important

is their demeanor.

I didn't expect him to be married.

They must be from the Western Region, right?

You guys dress up as merchants from the Western Region

and go to the busiest Tianxiang Restaurant

[Tianxiang Restaurant]

to arrange a banquet for the child.

Shen Tong's birthday

matches the traffickers' target.

Let's use this trick to lure them out.

Here, sir.

Enjoy your meal.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

Enjoy yourselves.

Welcome. Are you here to dine or to stay?

Arrange a good room for us.

By the way,

does your restaurant offer banquet services?

How many tables would you like to reserve for the banquet?

What's the occasion?

We're from the north.

It's for my son's birthday celebration.

We need plenty of drinks.

Plenty of drinks, for all our visiting friends.

It should be enough for everyone to enjoy.

[Butterfly Dancing]

Then you've come to the right place.

Come in, please.

Let's go.
