[Episode 14]

[True Lotus Reveals its Might]

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Chen Xinliang.

Look how smug he is.

In just a few days,

he's already imposingly

speaking for Red Lotus Immortal.

That means we've found the right target.

We just need to catch him

and make him speak.

All my believers,

I will bless you

to dispel your ailments, evil,

and misfortune.

Almighty Immortal, please save me.

What do you wish for?

I've been sick for a long time.

I'm afraid I'll die soon.

Almighty God, please bless me

to save me...

Come forward.

I feel... much better!

Everyone!

I'm much better.

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Cinnabar.

What?

The Magic Vase can't cure diseases.

He's harming people.

The cinnabar is mixed with sulfur.

Martial artists use it to make elixirs.

Uninvited guests broke into our society.

Show yourselves!

Who is trespassing?

Come out now!

It's me!

Listen to me.

There's no such thing as a Red Lotus Immortal

or money-making magic.

These are all lies used in the martial world!

I recognize you!

It was you who trespassed last time.

How dare you return?

I'm here to catch you today!

Hua!

How dare you!

How dare you disrespect the Magic Vase?

Everyone.

Offend the Immortal

and you can forget about making money

or staying alive!

Do you agree to that?

Ah Shu.

Catch them!

Catch them! Don't let them escape!

Catch her!

Catch her!

Ah Shu, let's split up!

Okay.

After them!

-Catch them! -Catch her!

-Catch them! -Catch them!

-Catch her! -Catch her!

Catch her!

Stay back!

That leader is a liar.

If there really were some money-making magic,

poor people wouldn't exist!

Ah Shu.

Hurry. Give me your hand.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry, Ah Shu. Let's go.

Wait.

I think I know him.

Yuan Mo?

What happened?

Ouch!

Ouch!

I didn't even touch it.

Sorry.

I thought you were pursuing Ah Shu.

Forget it.

You were just trying

to save her,

so I won't blame you.

Speaking of which,

how could you go to Red Lotus Society without telling me?

What about...

our family's rules?

Ah Shu did it to help me.

Help you?

Just the two of you?

Are you belittling us?

Enough.

I mean

you need helpers to save the refugees.

It's a pity

I have a headache.

I need to lie down for a while.

It'd be better if I had some wine now.

Wine.

He's just like that.

Just focus on recuperating.

We won't bother you with this matter.

We'll solve it ourselves.

If you want to solve the Red Lotus Society issue,

count me in.

My cousin's family forced me to join the Red Lotus Society.

It was only after

meeting you that I realized we were all deceived.

I want to get my family out

and live well in Changle with them.

By the way,

my cousin told me

there might be

a big election for the next gathering

to select the truly devoted believers to...

to go... go to some mecca.

Mecca?

Where is that?

Who cares?

Let's revisit Red Lotus Society.

No!

You've been recognized.

If you go again, you'll be caught.

I've to go even if it's dangerous.

You can go.

But I have to...

devise a meticulous plan.

[Yuchi's Mansion]

My Lady.

I heard someone caused trouble at Sweet Spring Square last night.

Jingzhao's soldiers were dispatched to maintain public order.

It wasn't you, right?

So what if it was me?

The refugees are missing,

but Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't want to be implicated.

So I had to do it for them.

Didn't my father say

to go ahead if I were to break into Red Lotus Society alone?

So I did.

My Lady.

Once is enough.

-Don’t take any more risks. -With everything I do,

I never give up halfway.

Tell my father

I must take care of the refugees' issue.

[Zhen'an Hall]

What did that brat say?

She said she must take care of the refugees' issue.

She must?

This brat's temper...

She's just like me.

But this won't do.

We need to find a way

to get this girl married.

How's the background check of Sifang Pavilion's

Wang Kunwu going?

In a prior investigation,

Wang Kunwu saved Ms. Yuchi once.

Now, in the Sifang Pavilion,

they're even sitting at the same table.

The same table?

No wonder she didn't like any of the young masters

I've introduced to her.

That brat.

She must take care of the refugees' issue,

yeah?

Then I must take care of her affairs!

[Sifang Pavilion]

In this operation,

be extra wary of this person.

When Yuan Mo and I

first sneaked into Red Lotus Pavilion,

he was just an ordinary believer.

But the second time,

he started giving orders

to arrest Ah Shu and Yuchi Hua.

He's in such an important position after just joining.

It's very suspicious.

The Red Lotus Pavilion is remote.

The alleys are intertwined with many exits.

Be careful not to get lost.

Ji, Shen.

Stay at a high place nearby

to watch the exits.

Once someone is taken out,

immediately inform

Ah Shu and Yuchi Hua who will be hiding here.

-Yes! -Yes!

Wang Yubin,

Li Fei, Chen Xiaoshan.

Yes.

Take some clerks

to guard these two alleys.

Prepare to respond anytime.

-Yes! -Yes!

Last time, Yuan Mo and I sneaked into Red Lotus Pavilion.

So this time, it'll still be us infiltrating to find a chance

to communicate with you outside.

Got it?

-Yes! -Yes!

For this mission,

count us in.

An Xiuyi.

What are you doing here?

I admit what you said makes sense.

Helping the refugees benefits the five states' alliance.

I also want to make amends.

Susu.

I've never seen

such a detailed map.

Making amends with just a map?

Everyone has maps.

How is it different from ours?

Don't embarrass yourself.

Am I sincere enough?

Welcome.

I will

leave this alley

to you two.

Wait, one more thing.

When Wang Kunwu and I

were in Red Lotus Pavilion,

we noticed they were all refugees.

So when we go there,

we'll have to disguise ourselves.

Disguise?

How?

It's not too late for regrets.

If I regret it, I'll take your last name.

Shen is handsome.

Isn't this nice?

Yes.

Beautiful.

So beautiful.

It's your turn. Come on.

Are you done laughing?

Is this necessary?

Also,

why does this beard stink?

I made it with Inebriation Restaurant's ink.

The funds are tight.

Don't mind it.

You...

An Xiuyi.

You requested

to join our operation.

Don't make any trouble.

And don't regret it.

Fine, I'll stick it.

I prepared these for you.

This is a wound cream.

If you get hurt, it can relieve the pain

and heal the wound.

This is knock-out powder.

If you inhale it, you'll faint.

This is the antidote.

Take one pill in advance and you'll be fine.

This is a good one.

Are you... worried about me?

I...

I... I'm...

I'm just afraid of you screaming in pain

such that I can't sleep.

Poppet.

Please bless all of us to have a safe trip

and destroy Red Lotus Society

to save all the refugees.

Otherwise, I'll turn you into wine.

-You hear me? -I’m the Snake God Poppet.

How dare you threaten me?

I'll bite you to death!

Ah Shu.

I got it.

That's good.

I know why the Magic Vase can speak.

Why?

If I'm not mistaken,

it should be recorded here.

Here.

There are people from the desert with the exotic skill

of speaking without moving their mouths.

Only their abdomens move.

It's called...

ventriloquism.

Ventriloquism?

There are 27 copper coins in the bag.

I remember now.

Chen Xinliang was beside it when the Magic Vase spoke.

And his belly went like this.

It rose and fell.

Looks like catching Chen Xinliang

is the key to saving the refugees.

I know the secret of the talking Magic Vase.

What is it?

Ventriloquism.

Ventriloquism?

Yes.

How did you know?

It's recorded in my father's

"Sifang Annals."

Stretch your arms out straight.

Everyone is ready.

I wonder how An Xiuyi is doing.

Don't worry.

He prepared the map.

He can't get lost.

I think it is...

or maybe not.

Is it or not?

This alley is as complex as a spider web,

and there are houses built illegally by commoners.

This map doesn't match at all.

It's almost time.

If we still can't find it, we'd be humiliated.

It's just some illegal construction,

but it's such a hindrance at this critical time.

Thank you for coming.

In today's banquet,

on Red Lotus Immortal's behalf,

the Magic Vase will select the truly devout believers among you

to go to the mecca.

All my believers...

Focus on his abdomen.

Will be blessed.

The chosen ones

will leave the sea of suffering

and ascend to the paradise.

It's really ventriloquism.

What Red Lotus Immortal means

is the most devout believers will be chosen

to go to the mecca

to enjoy eternal bliss.

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

Red Lotus Immortal is almighty!

In the cycle of destiny,

everything is predetermined.

My good men and women,

wait patiently for the selection.

I was chosen!

I was chosen!

Thank you for your blessing, Immortal.

Thank you for your blessing, Immortal.

I was chosen too!

I was chosen too!

I was chosen too!

I was chosen too!

I was chosen too!

I was chosen too!

Thank you, Red Lotus Immortal!

Stretch your arms out straight.

W-What is this?

Holy water.

For you to enjoy the Immortal's blessing.

Do you remember the holy water at the door?

It's mixed with honey,

so it attracts the butterflies.

Go over. Hurry.

What are you doing?

Don't come to me. Go to him.

What did I say?

It's mixed with honey,

so the butterflies...

Sir, I...

M-Maybe I’m a spare option...

Congratulations, Chosen Ones.

Please come forward.

Please follow me.

I will take you to the mecca.

Is Shen sending a signal?

It's that way. Let's go.

Let's go.

This way!

Stop!

Jingzhao's Legal Advisor is here!

Everyone in the carriage, get off now!

Everyone, get off!

We are here to save you.

Legal Advisor.

The two carriages behind are old and weak believers.

Where are you taking them?

I'm just a runner.

I was paid to send them home.

Home?

Yes.

My home is not far away.

Red Lotus Immortal

took the people he chose away.

None of us were chosen,

so we've to just go home.

Oh no, we followed the wrong carriage.

They mustn't have gone far.

Let's go back to Red Lotus Pavilion.

Send them home!

-Yes! -Yes!

Stop struggling.

You're poisoned by Black Wind Powder.

You can't move.

Take him away alone.

Don't let others see it.

-Yes. -Yes.

Why is there no window?

We'll suffocate to death.

You are undocumented in Changle City.

It’d be troublesome if you were interrogated.

It's also for your safety.

Please.

I-I'm afraid of the dark.

Don't be afraid.

You won't be alone.

I-I... I like to be alone.

I-I'm not going.

Are you going in or not?

I... I'm not going.

Wait, I'm really afraid of the dark.

I'm afraid of the dark.

I'm afraid of the dark.

Master.

Where's the other one?

It's settled.

You found the hunting dogs.

This is your reward.

Thank you, Master.

Go watch Red Lotus Pavilion.

More people will come.

We have the most detailed map,

yet we got lost.

West Court's people will mock us tomorrow.

Actually you don’t need to care too much about what they think.

How can I not care?

My East Court is clearly superior to West Court.

But since Wang Kunwu and Yuan Mo came,

they keep trying to dominate us.

It's so maddening.

It's him?

Let's go.

Why isn't it moving?

Be careful, Young Master!

Goodness!

Don't push!

Stop!

Don't fight for it!

I have an idea.

The light of the Magic Vase is out

and the dragon head is gone.

What's going on?

Ah Shu, what are you looking at?

There must be a mechanism in this vase.

It's just inconspicuous.

Who are you? Come out!

Come out!

Xiao'e?

Why are you here?

Yuan and the guys were taken away by Chen Xinliang.

Where were they taken to?

I don't know.

We can't stay here for long.

Let's go.

Okay.

Don't move.

Where are Yuan Mo and the guys?

Ah Shu, why are you...

Don't move!

If you move, I'll turn you into a hedgehog.

Ah Shu.

On the Magic Vase, there's Black Wind Powder that makes people faint.

There's the same residue on your clothes.

You're from Red Lotus Society?

Get up. Hurry.

Come on. Go.

Just tell me what it is.

Go.

Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?

Just tell me what it is.

Mr. Yu.

Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu...

are missing.

Missing?

W-What do you mean?

They were arrested with the refugees.

Arrested?

Weren't you guarding outside?

No, they were too cunning.

We were tricked.

You...

This...

is my fault.

Susu and I lost our way

and failed to guard Red Lotus Pavilion's back door.

Mr. Yu!

Mr. Yu!

-Mr. Yu! -Yu! Yu! Wake up!

-Mr. Yu! -Wake up, Yu! Wake up!

-Yu! -Mr. Yu!

Wake up.

He's awake.

Why are you still surrounding me?

Go to Jingzhao Prefecture! Search the whole city! Find them!

-Yes! -Yes!

Mr. Yu!

Mr. Yu, I'll stay with you.

For what?

You go too! Go!

Go! Go!

If anything happens to Yuan Mo,

how can I explain to his deceased father?

We're finally here.

[Green Wave Villa]

Green Wave Villa.

Son, look inside.

This is the mecca.

So these houses

were bestowed on us by Red Lotus Immortal.

Look up.

This...

So many houses.

Look! Look at that house.

These houses are all ours.

We have a home now!

We don't need to wander anymore!

Great!

Great!

Go quickly!

That's great!

Great!

Go quickly!

That's great!

These houses are all for us, right?

-Right. -Are they all for us?

Of course they're yours.

However,

you need to make an offering to Red Lotus Immortal.

Wait...

Isn't this the mecca?

Why do we still have to pay?

Why did you hit him?

To help you come to your senses.

If your worship's sincere,

give me...

the money.

I have no money!

I want to go home!

We all want to go home!

He's dead?

Someone was beaten to death. He's dead!

Run! Run!

Run!

Stop hitting me!

Master.

Are the men and women locked up separately?

Yes, all the women are here.

Take off their shoes.

I'll check them one by one.

Master.

What are you looking for?

I can help.

Yes, yes.

-Stay away! -Stay away!

It's fun.

You...

are a hunting dog?

A hunting dog?

A government official.

Why do you call us that?

When we arrived in Yong,

we were like prey,

being chased and driven away.

Those officials

are the hunting dogs who did that to us.

I'm not a hunting dog.

Neither are you the prey.

We are humans.

We are the same.

Come on.

I have medicine for wounds.

Who wants it?

Here.

Take it.

It can relieve the pain. Take it.

He saved my child.

I trust him.

Guards!

Why are you shouting?

Get more medicine for wounds.

And get us two pepper flatbreads each.

Dream on.

Don't you want to sell us

as slaves for money?

Look at us.

We are all listless, weak, and sick.

Will anyone pay to buy such slaves?

When we're full

and recovered,

you can sell us for at least ten times the price.

Wait!

I'll beat you to death when I'm full.

[Jingzhao Prefecture]

I advise you to cooperate

if you don't want to suffer.

Is the law of Yong

conducted with interrogational torture?

What's your relationship with Red Lotus Society?

Where were the refugees transported to?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I was deceived by Red Lotus Society too.

I also want to know

where my cousin and his family are.

You're smart.

You know what to say to protect yourself.

Unfortunately,

that doesn't work with me.

You said you were deceived by Red Lotus Society.

How do you explain

this Black Wind Powder?

My cousin is seriously ill.

I got this medicine from a doctor.

What? It's called Black Wind Powder?

You...

By the way,

I'm from Yanle.

If Yanle Envoy finds out

I'm wrongfully detained,

they won't let it go.

I advise you to let me go sooner

to prevent conflicts between the two states.

I will find the evidence.

Be prepared to spend the rest of your life in prison!

Hua.

How was it?

She's so difficult.

By the way,

any news from Ji and the guys about the ship?

Not yet.

What should we do?

Could Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu

be in danger?

Yuan Mo said we mustn't panic,

especially in times like this.

Xiao'e is

the only clue we have now.

Let's think about

what else can make her speak.

Let's go.

[Sifang Pavilion]

Deputy Envoy Kang, you came uninvited.

You're even...

being unreasonable.

Mr. Yu.

If it weren't for something important,

I wouldn't have come uninvited.

What is it about?

A Yanle citizen was detained by Jingzhao Prefecture

for no reason last night.

Yong State owes us an explanation.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Deputy Envoy Kang, you're really well-informed.

But this matter's not settled yet.

It's bad to make accusations

like this.

Also, as far as I know,

Yanle's youth Xiao'e colluded with Red Lotus Society,

leading to the refugees going missing.

I think

Yanle's the one

who should give us an explanation.

Mr. Yu.

You must've got things wrong.

Do you have any evidence about

her collusion with Red Lotus Society

to make the refugees disappear?

According to the agreement between Yong and Yanle States,

if Yong State can’t find

incriminating evidence in 24 hours,

she can't be detained.

She must be handed over to us.

That is to say, the deadline is 8 a.m. tomorrow.

If you still

won't let her go without evidence,

Yanle has no choice but to

reconsider our agreement.

Do you understand?

Let's go!

Mr. Yu.

Xiao'e is the only clue.

We mustn't release her.

Are you sure she'd confess

before 8 a.m. tomorrow?

Go and help Yuchi Hua.

Yes.

Keep looking!

Yes.

Will they agree to your request?

These people are obsessed with money.

They won't refuse it.

So what if they agree?

In the end, we'd still become slaves.

If we can buy some time,

officials will find us.

Does the government care about us?

The government

can't wait for us to disappear!

No.

What's the most important thing now?

It's unity.

As long as we unite,

we can definitely defeat those villains

and regain freedom.

Take it.

Take it.

It's medicine.

Pepper flatbread?

And pepper flatbread!

You...

Come with me.

Kneel!

Are you Yuan Mo?

I didn't expect I'm so famous.

Even the ringleader of Red Lotus Society knows me.

Not only do I know you...

but also him.

Qing.

Wang Kunwu?

What happened to you, Wang Kunwu?

I'm poisoned by Black Wind Powder.

I can't move.

What happened?

It's Xiao'e.

Two smart alecks.

Actually, I know

you can't just be

the ringleader of Red Lotus Society.

All your men wear hoods.

Their boots have thicker soles,

with deeper treads.

This must be a habit developed from

resisting the desert's wind and sand all year round.

You come from the desert,

yet you dare to stir up trouble in Changle.

Plus, you're skilled in ventriloquism, mechanisms,

and bewitching people,

and use cruel methods.

You are...

The Faceless.
