1
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,960
{\an8}ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
<i>LOVE IN THE CLOUDS</i>

2
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,520
Ming Yi.

3
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Are you all right?

4
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Does this ring a bell?

5
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,919
Tumi Pagoda Gaol.

6
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,520
There's no escaping from this artifact
once you're inside.

7
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,360
You told me you'd destroy it
after you took it away.

8
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,440
You said Yaoguang Mountain
despised all artifacts.

9
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,360
And now you're using one to imprison me?

10
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,080
Some artifacts can be used
to protect Yaoguang Mountain.

11
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,640
Given that I served you
as a child for 20 years

12
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200
and that I won you the Qingyun tournament
for seven consecutive years,

13
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,240
please spare my father.

14
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,960
I will assume full responsibility.

15
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Everything I do is for Yaoguang Mountain.

16
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840
It is a difficult decision,
but it must be made.

17
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,840
You made this artifact.
You know you can't escape from it.

18
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,880
No!

19
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Ji Bozai. Don't come in!

20
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,240
It's too dangerous. Why did you come in?

21
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Your Lordship already has a plan in mind.

22
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,120
It is not my place to say more.

23
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,040
But please remember this.

24
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,080
No matter what happens,
you must not open the Spirit Well

25
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,400
until your spiritual power
is fully restored.

26
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,800
Otherwise,
you might really suffer a relapse.

27
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,480
Ji Bozai!

28
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Ji Bozai, you!

29
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Ming Yi.

30
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Father.

31
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760
I'm glad you're…

32
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Father.

33
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,960
Father.

34
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Father.

35
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Ji Bozai.

36
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,279
He merely passed out.
He will wake up soon.

37
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Thank you.

38
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,760
I have the Spirit Well.

39
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,800
Saving you is just a simple favor.

40
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760
You stopped Ming Xin's
conferment ceremony for me.

41
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,480
In a way, you helped me
get back what is rightfully mine.

42
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,080
We don't owe each other anymore.

43
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,320
I still owe you an apology.

44
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,160
I know there's no way
I can compensate you for what they did.

45
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,400
It has nothing to do with you anyway.

46
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,760
I cannot hold it against you.

47
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:54,960
It's…

48
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,600
It's such a cruel joke.

49
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,720
I risked everything to avenge

50
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,000
the woman who saved me.

51
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120
But she was the one who abandoned me

52
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,880
and let me rot in prison.

53
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,520
You know very well

54
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,280
that I don't resent you for it.

55
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,000
But you should also know

56
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,080
that when I see you,

57
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920
I'll be reminded

58
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,080
of how bitter

59
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,240
and asinine the irony

60
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,280
of the past is.

61
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,840
I enjoyed the comfort
that was supposed to be yours.

62
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,800
You went to the Sunken Abyss
because of me.

63
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Fairy Bo hurt you because of me.

64
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,640
I will do anything I can

65
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,400
just to take the pain away from you.

66
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,440
You can do one thing.

67
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,920
<i>The match made in heaven!</i>

68
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,920
<i>The match made in heaven!</i>

69
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,360
<i>Why did you return?</i>

70
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,160
<i>Why did you return?</i>

71
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480
JI BOZAI, MING YI

72
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,640
Ji Bozai.

73
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,880
<i>You took the heavenly punishment</i>
<i>just to carve her name here.</i>

74
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
<i>Why are you doing this to her?</i>

75
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,360
JI BOZAI, MING YI

76
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,720
JI BOZAI

77
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,920
What you can do for me

78
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,120
is to leave Yaoguang Mountain

79
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,440
and never appear before me again.

80
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Go far away.

81
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Away from where my eyes can reach.

82
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,160
And live in peace.

83
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,320
My Lord.

84
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,760
My Lord!

85
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,760
Why has the Heavenly Grief returned?

86
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,160
Did you use the Spirit Well?

87
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,720
Do you know that someone in your state

88
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,280
will die from ruptured spiritual veins?

89
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,240
You don't have the luxury of time

90
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120
for the petals
of Grief Blossom to wilt one by one.

91
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Buxiu, do you still remember

92
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,280
the portrait that burned itself?

93
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,680
After it self-immolated,
a new portrait appeared.

94
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,800
I destroyed the heart imprint that day,

95
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120
so that Ming Yi wouldn't see it.

96
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,400
My Lord.

97
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,160
But you saw the portrait.

98
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Do not tell Ming Yi.

99
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,160
After Master came back,
she became rather distraught.

100
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:12,560
Did Immortal Ji and she…

101
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,560
You're a kid. Don't be nosy.

102
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,880
But that must be the reason.

103
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,280
I'm a kid, not a stupid kid.

104
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Not so loud.

105
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,600
Ming Yi.

106
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,000
PURE IN WILL, NOBLE IN DEED

107
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Ming Yi.

108
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Did Ji Bozai join
Yaoguang Mountain for real?

109
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,720
People are demanding
an explanation outside the academy.

110
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,320
I have faith in Ji Bozai,
but the rumor is festering.

111
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,720
I need to reassure everyone.

112
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,800
- Ming Yi, your hand…
- I must tell you all something.

113
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Actually, I am Ming Xian.

114
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,960
My dear son is finally back
in Yaoguang Mountain.

115
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Your Majesty, no need to act
like a benevolent father.

116
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,520
Ming Xian was your son for 20 years,

117
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,800
yet you discarded him after he lost
the Qingyun Tournament once.

118
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,040
And I'm a son who just came back.

119
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,200
I came to negotiate with you.

120
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,200
I fail as a father.

121
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
The two previous crown princes
were incompetent,

122
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,120
and the one before me
wants to negotiate with me.

123
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,520
You don't care who your real son is.

124
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,320
You just want someone
who can make Yaoguang Mountain stronger.

125
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,280
As expected of someone
carrying my bloodline.

126
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,320
Yes.

127
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,760
Who Ming Xian is doesn't matter.

128
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:18,040
What I want is a warrior
who can win in the Qingyun Tournament

129
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,120
and a crown prince
who commands the people's respect.

130
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,960
I'm doing this
for the prosperity of Yaoguang Mountain.

131
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speak.

132
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,360
What can I offer to convince you
to be the crown prince?

133
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,200
One, I will join the warrior ranks.

134
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,720
I will command all warriors.

135
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,320
Sure. That is rightfully yours anyway.

136
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,360
Two, the Empress, Jing Shu, shall live.

137
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,160
Granted.

138
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,520
She is my first wife.

139
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,280
I promise that she will be cared for.

140
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,480
Three,

141
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,800
forget past grudges with Jixing Abyss.

142
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,400
Do not hunt down anything
or anyone with no relevance.

143
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,240
Are you doing this for Ming Xian?

144
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Like I said, it's time to turn the page.

145
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,720
Let it go now, Your Majesty.

146
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,760
So, Ji Bozai and I were swapped at birth.

147
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,840
My birth mother

148
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
is a descendant of the Bo clan
in Zhangwei Mountain of Jixing Abyss.

149
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,920
In a sense, you can say
I'm from Jixing Abyss too.

150
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Lord Chengyun committed a crime,
so he cannot be the heir apparent.

151
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Yaoguang Mountain now needs
a new crown prince to appease everyone.

152
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,480
But knowing him,

153
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,840
he won't even bat an eye, even if someone
hands him Yaoguang Mountain for free.

154
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,200
I'm guessing that with us in Jixing Abyss
and him in Yaoguang Mountain,

155
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720
we have the power of two realms
against Zhushui Spiritual State.

156
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240
And perhaps he wants to be cautious,
so he didn't tell us about his plan.

157
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,960
- Look.
- What does it say?

158
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,880
<i>The Emperor of Yaoguang</i>
<i>hereby declares to all Six Realms</i>

159
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,640
<i>that Ming Xin, Lord Chengyun,</i>

160
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,760
<i>defied the law and will be deposed.</i>

161
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,680
<i>The Emperor's eldest son,</i>
<i>Ji Bozai, shall be the crown prince</i>

162
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,640
<i>to restore law and order.</i>

163
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,240
- He is the crown prince? Impossible.
- I can't believe it.

164
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040
There's no way
Ji Bozai is the emperor's son.

165
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Can you believe it? It's like a joke.

166
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Ming Xin should abdicate.

167
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,720
But Ji Bozai cannot be
the crown prince either.

168
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,640
- Is this true?
- Let's go.

169
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Let's ask the authority.

170
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
How come Ji Bozai is the son
of the Emperor of Yaoguang?

171
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
- What about Ming Xian?
- Exactly.

172
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,000
- They didn't mention Ming Xian.
- What will happen to Ming Xian?

173
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,520
- He must be punished.
- Right.

174
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,240
- Indeed.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

175
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480
- You must be decisive.
- He cannot get away with it.

176
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,920
- Exactly.
- This is not right.

177
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400
- Your Majesty.
- I urge you to make the decision

178
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,760
to hunt down Ji Bozai!

179
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,840
This is urgent, Your Majesty.
Do not dally!

180
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,440
This is from Immortal Tai.

181
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720
"Ji Bozai sided with Yaoguang Mountain

182
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,080
and should be stripped
of his title and hunted down."

183
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480
MEMORIALS

184
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,560
This is from Immortal Lun'an.

185
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
"Ji Bozai infiltrated Jixing Abyss
and colluded with our enemy.

186
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,800
He committed a great crime.

187
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Our warriors must be gathered
to hunt him down."

188
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,280
This is from Immortal He.

189
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,720
Enough.

190
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,560
They are all probably asking me
to hunt Ji Bozai down.

191
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,920
In Mingshi Hall today,

192
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,200
the immortals have
already questioned Her Majesty

193
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,079
about Ji Bozai.

194
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,640
Can you believe it?

195
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,640
Has it not crossed their minds

196
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,319
that Ji Bozai was the one
who defeated Ming Xian in the tournament

197
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,760
and won the Blessed Rain for Jixing Abyss?

198
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:18,359
If Ji Bozai was working
with Yaoguang Mountain,

199
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,280
why would he win in the tournament?

200
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,319
Being a warrior in Jixing Abyss and being
a crown prince in Yaoguang Mountain

201
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:29,040
are two different things.

202
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,920
They don't know Ji Bozai.

203
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,160
They only view him
as Jixing Abyss's weapon.

204
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,720
Now that they know

205
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,720
Ji Bozai is the crown prince
of Yaoguang Mountain,

206
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,520
the citizens fear that this weapon

207
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,160
will be directed at them.

208
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,280
It is understandable.

209
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,520
Right.

210
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,200
And as the Empress,
I have the duty to reassure my subjects.

211
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680
So, Tianji, what will you do now?

212
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,280
The memorials are piling up.

213
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Your Majesty, I believe you know
what decision you should make.

214
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,680
What does this mean?

215
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,720
Why are you nodding your head?

216
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Do you get it?

217
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,400
Even though I'm clueless,

218
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:37,080
{\an8}I believe Her Majesty will make
the decision that benefits Jixing Abyss.

219
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,280
{\an8}MEMORIALS

220
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,560
SHOUHUA ACADEMY HAS RECENTLY
REMOVED JI BOZAI FROM THE POST

221
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Removed? Ji Bozai?

222
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,200
Look at what he did.

223
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,720
This is…

224
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,800
- What is going on?
- This is not right.

225
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,520
- Ji Bozai betrayed us.
- He is a traitor.

226
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,920
- Exactly.
- The way I see it…

227
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,320
- Traitor!
- Unbelievable!

228
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,240
Yes!

229
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,360
Madam Ying is right.

230
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,120
- He is a traitor.
- Treacherous!

231
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,040
SHOUHUA ACADEMY HAS RECENTLY
REMOVED JI BOZAI FROM THE POST

232
00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,360
HE IS NO LONGER AN HONORARY WARRIOR

233
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,400
What are you doing?

234
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,440
Your Highness.

235
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,320
No need to address me so.
Just call me Immortal Ji.

236
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:25,320
Immortal Ji.

237
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
The youngest crown prince
carved these words on the wall.

238
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,600
His Majesty asked us
to erase them with our power.

239
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,160
But we…

240
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,200
They can stay.

241
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800
If His Majesty asks why,
tell him I said so.

242
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Yes.

243
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,320
THE BEST IN ALL LANDS

244
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,400
MING XIAN

245
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,920
MING XIAN, THE BEST IN ALL LANDS

246
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,760
So, you're the companion beast
that comes from my spiritual power?

247
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,720
I knew you'd be a cat.

248
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,120
I love cats the most.

249
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,680
I spent 27 spirit stones to buy you food.

250
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,400
I shall call you Twenty-Seven then.

251
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Do you like your name?

252
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,280
You look like you like it.

253
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,080
Twenty-Seven.

254
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,160
Twenty-Seven.

255
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,480
TRAITOR JI BOZAI, PROTECT JIXING ABYSS

256
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Come and have a look.

257
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,880
Hey, sir?

258
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,400
Steady.

259
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,800
Yes. Careful.

260
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Safe travels.

261
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,760
{\an8}TREACHEROUS WARRIOR

262
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,960
The Shouhua Academy in Jixing Abyss
has removed Your Lordship's name.

263
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Posters urging for your head
are everywhere in Jixing Abyss.

264
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,800
They think you are a traitor.

265
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040
Tianji is the Empress.

266
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,560
She must take care of their feelings.

267
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,400
If she takes my side now,

268
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,480
no one in Shouhua Academy
can train in peace.

269
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,080
Your allies, like Yan Xiao
and Meng Yangqiu,

270
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,240
also did not come to your defense.

271
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,120
So what?

272
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,000
But Ming Yi
went everywhere in Jixing Abyss

273
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,800
to take down banners
and portraits hurling insults at you.

274
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,760
By my calculations,
that cat should return soon.

275
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:53,920
He will keep Ming Yi company.

276
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:40,360
Ming Yi!

277
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Ming Yi.

278
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,160
Twenty-Seven.

279
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,160
Twenty-Seven.

280
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,320
You're back.

281
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,600
You're finally back.

282
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,400
And everything…
Everything about you is fine.

283
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Twenty-Seven.

284
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000
I missed you so much.

285
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,480
I knew it.

286
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,400
I knew you'd return.

287
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,040
I'm sorry, Twenty-Seven.

288
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,080
I failed to protect you. I…

289
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,080
It's all right.

290
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,160
It's all right.

291
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:32,920
Come. I was waiting for you to come back.

292
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,880
I was waiting and waiting.
And finally, you came back.

293
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Come.

294
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,200
Eat anything you want,

295
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,440
but not in excess.

296
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,280
Even if you shed your fur on the bed,
you're still welcome on it.

297
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Welcome home, Twenty-Seven.

298
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,720
We have enough.

299
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,440
You can climb anywhere you want.

300
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,920
Is this home?

301
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,280
Home is where your family is.

302
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:01,440
What fur is this?

303
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,560
It's not white or blond.

304
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,760
How come it's this color?

305
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:09,800
Ming Yi, all this time,
my divine consciousness was in the bell.

306
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,560
I could hear everything,

307
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,640
including what happened
to you recently and Ji Bozai.

308
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:18,960
You…

309
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,840
Twenty-Seven.

310
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,680
Ji Bozai will not betray Jixing Abyss
and side with Yaoguang Mountain.

311
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,720
What do you think? Not spicy, right?

312
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,160
You heard everything?

313
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,200
- How long have you kept this dried fish?
- What? It's fresh.

314
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,960
- It's stale.
- Then don't eat it.

315
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,880
How can you stop me from eating
after I've eaten half of it?

316
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,600
Master She is convalescing in Wugui Sea.

317
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,760
Don't worry about him.

318
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,120
No one knows he's here.

319
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,520
Thank you, Granny Xun.

320
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,680
By the way, His Lordship wrote back
and said he knew what he was doing.

321
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,360
He told me not to worry.

322
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,400
But His Lordship
always leaves the bad news out.

323
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:01,680
How can I not be worried about him?

324
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,120
I overlooked this
and forgot to brief you in advance.

325
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,400
Everyone is saying
His Lordship is a traitor outside.

326
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,920
Of course, I don't believe those idiots.

327
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
His Lordship risks his life
for Jixing Abyss.

328
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,000
We all saw that.

329
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,240
But how can the Empress be so gullible
and trust those fake rumors?

330
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,120
She even put up
a notice in the Parade Bureau

331
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
to strip His Lordship of his titles
as the warrior and the honorary warrior.

332
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Her decision is…

333
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,600
is very disheartening.

334
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Ji Bozai has now joined
the warrior ranks of Yaoguang Mountain.

335
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,000
As the Empress, Tianji has to reassure
everyone in Jixing Abyss.

336
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,200
If Ji Bozai were in Tianji's shoes,

337
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,960
he would have done the same.

338
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560
I understand the burden
on Her Majesty's shoulders.

339
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,160
But this is a cruel joke.

340
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,920
I feel bad for you and him,
who are supposed to be together.

341
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
What will become of you and him?

342
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Who knows what the future holds?

343
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:08,800
But right now,
exposing what the Emperor of Zhushui did

344
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,840
is what he and I want to do.

345
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,040
We will persevere.

346
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,520
Ji Bozai wants
to bring peace to the Six Realms.

347
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,280
He is determined. That won't change.

348
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,640
I believe in him.

349
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,560
I see.

350
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,960
I will look after
His Lordship's home in Wugui Sea.

351
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Thank you, Granny Xun.

352
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,840
It's a new recipe.

353
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,760
You made this?

354
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,880
- Let me smell it.
- It'll cool you down.

355
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,160
It smells amazing.

356
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,960
- Let me take a bite.
- Do you like it?

357
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,800
It has six flowers in it.

358
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,160
A minimum of four warriors

359
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,760
is required to take part
in the Qingyun Tournament.

360
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,960
Now that Ji Bozai
has joined the rival realm,

361
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,080
we won't even have four warriors.

362
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,880
How are we supposed
to scout out the tournament arena now?

363
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,320
What about promoting one
from the shortlisted candidates?

364
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,640
Worry not.

365
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,480
I've told them that we would gather
enough warriors before the tournament.

366
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,040
Therefore, they won't
disqualify us for now.

367
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,280
Furthermore, Ming Yi also agreed

368
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,840
to scout with us as a Forger,

369
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,080
representing the Shouhua Academy.

370
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,400
Great!

371
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,920
If other immortals
raise dissenting opinions,

372
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,480
don't worry or be affected by them.

373
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,120
I'll handle them for you.

374
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,040
Great!

375
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,760
Great!

376
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,640
It's on.

377
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,120
I didn't know

378
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,000
that you could use a fire-igniting
artifact for barbecue purposes.

379
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Only a genius like me
can come up with such a great idea.

380
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,760
Right. This is almost burned.

381
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,920
Eat some, Twenty-Seven.

382
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,120
Yan Xiao. Eat with us.

383
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,920
You can train later!

384
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,560
This seems like the right time
to tell you that you should rest.

385
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,560
- But?
- But…

386
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,480
the two-realm tournament
is about to begin.

387
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,760
We should all train harder.

388
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920
Therefore, I brought you an ointment.

389
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,760
Do you feel better now?

390
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,360
Yes.

391
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Meng, you are smiling.

392
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,920
Do not laugh at me.

393
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Truth be told,

394
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,960
I like them this way.

395
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,760
I like Tianji.

396
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,080
I like her a lot.

397
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,360
Even now.

398
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,800
But my feelings toward her

399
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,000
are that I just want her to be happy.

400
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Meng.

401
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,720
I salute you.

402
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,320
Do not steal my sweet potato.

403
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,720
When we were in Yaoguang Mountain,

404
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,360
we had to abide by strict rules.

405
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,000
The juniors had to serve the seniors.

406
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,280
And even among peers,
the strong would bully the weak.

407
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Back then, I dreamed
of meeting a trustworthy ally.

408
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,160
And to my surprise,

409
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:26,080
I found people
whom I can fall back on in Jixing Abyss.

410
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,800
All participants,

411
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,560
following the order set down
by the previous Qingyun Tournament,

412
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,880
you may now enter
the Zhuojin Tower to inspect the arena.

413
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Without Ji Bozai,
I highly doubt Jixing Abyss

414
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,560
can send in any competent immortal at all.

415
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,160
So, not only do they have an empress,
they also have a female warrior now.

416
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,120
What?

417
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,320
Are you trying to lose again
for the next seven years?

418
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,480
Can't expect anything decent
from your foul mouth.

419
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,120
I see you spent most of your time
sharpening your tongue, not your blade.

420
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,880
If you have nothing nice to say,
say nothing at all.

421
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,240
Warriors of Yaoguang Mountain,
please enter.

422
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Immortal…

423
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,800
Long time no see, Immortal Ji.

424
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Alas, we are now competing
against one another.

425
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,800
Indeed. We now represent different realms.

426
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,280
- See you in the arena.
- See you.

427
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,000
What?

428
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,480
- What is going on?
- Where did she go?

429
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,720
- What's going on?
- It's so sudden.

430
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,960
I'm in the secret chamber
of Dragon Carp Terrace.

431
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,360
Did you truly believe you could kill me
after you kidnapped me here

432
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,000
with your spell?

433
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:32,400
The Ultimate Punishment
hasn't taught you anything, it seems.

434
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,520
You're as foolish as ever.

435
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,800
Oh, really?

436
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,199
Look closely.

437
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,480
Ming Yi, can I keep
this hairpin as memorabilia?

438
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,120
It's my…

439
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,760
Situ Ling used
his heart's blood to save you.

440
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,840
Perhaps you ought
to return the favor to your savior.

441
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,560
I don't believe you.

442
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,240
And even if you did capture him,
I can kill you now before rescuing him.

443
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Ming Xian.

444
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,920
Ming Yi. Run.

445
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,400
Don't worry about me.

446
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,840
Ming Xian, with one snap of my finger,

447
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,640
I can suffocate him.

448
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:24,520
Try me if you dare.

449
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,440
And this time,

450
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600
I will kill him

451
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,200
before you make a move.

452
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,640
Run, Ming Yi.

453
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,120
What do you want?

454
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,720
Put the Embers down.

455
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,800
No, Ming Yi.

456
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Don't drop your weapon.

457
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,640
Ming Xin will kill you.

458
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:47,680
Quiet!

459
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,840
I will not leave you to die.

460
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:03,920
Ming Yi, you still care
about me, don't you?

461
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,520
Now, kneel.

462
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,680
No, Ming Yi. Do not kneel!

463
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,680
Ming Xian.

464
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,040
Kneel now.

465
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,400
Ming Xin.

466
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,000
Are you out of your mind?

467
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,360
What makes you think
you can make her kneel?

468
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,520
Kneel.

469
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,160
Kneel!

470
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,840
I told you to kneel! Did you hear me?

471
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,640
Ming Xin.

472
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:01,760
Even until now, you're still using
the power of Yaoguang Mountain.

473
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,640
That means you still want
to fight for Yaoguang Mountain.

474
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,560
You ingratiated yourself
with the Emperor of Zhushui.

475
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,720
Do you feel no shame?

476
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,760
Have you forgotten
that every technique you're using

477
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,080
- comes from me?
- Shut up!

478
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,440
I don't care what your motive is now.

479
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,920
But back then,
I truly viewed you as my younger brother.

480
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,320
We joined the warrior ranks together.

481
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,800
I wanted to guide you to the proper path.

482
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,280
I taught you everything I know.

483
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,440
Now that you have mastered
those techniques,

484
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,920
you've forgotten
what it means to be a warrior.

485
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,240
Shut up!

486
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,200
You have no right
to patronize me, Ming Xian.

487
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,600
You outdo me in every regard.

488
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,560
Even if I put in ten times
or a hundred times more effort,

489
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,240
Father won't even look at me.

490
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,880
But you! You're just a mongrel!

491
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,440
Why must I suffer?

492
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,280
Why must I let an outsider
steal my thunder?

493
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,040
Today, I will break your knees,

494
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,680
so that you may never stand before me!

495
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:27,680
Watch out, Ming Yi!

496
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,680
Why would you risk your life

497
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,600
for an informant
from Zhushui Spiritual State?

498
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,680
Situ…

499
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,720
Prince Chao Yuan once saved my life.

500
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,200
I cannot leave him to die.

501
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,360
You found out?

502
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,000
Your Highness.

503
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,800
How eager of you to dispose of him.

504
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,400
Why? Is he about to snitch you out?

505
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,880
Ming Yi, I just want to protect you.

506
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:20,920
Chao Yuan.

507
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,120
Ming Xin said you once
saved me with your heart's blood.

508
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,160
Of course, I'm grateful for you.

509
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,120
But he wouldn't have known about it
if you hadn't told him.

510
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:37,440
Also, were you the one
who taught him the art

511
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,800
of illusory assassination?

512
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Your Highness.

513
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,280
I see you feel spiteful after receiving
the Ultimate Punishment.

514
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,360
So now, you want to get out
of Yaoguang Mountain to kill Ming Xian?

515
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,680
We had a deal that day.

516
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,160
You wanted me to bring Ming Xian to you,

517
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,720
and I didn't divulge it to your father.

518
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,880
If you truly care so much
about that wretched woman,

519
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:33,560
I suppose I can leave
her cold dead body for you.

520
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,920
I just gave you Zhushui's secret art
of illusory assassination.

521
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,680
While the warriors are scouting the arena,

522
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,960
you can use it
to kidnap her from Zhuojin Tower.

523
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,760
She is stronger than you.

524
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,440
And you're weakened by the punishment.
You can't defeat her.

525
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,360
But you can tell her

526
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,280
that you're holding me hostage.

527
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:17,160
After all, I saved her once.

528
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,000
And show her this keepsake.

529
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,280
That way, she won't kill you right away.

530
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,080
The records say

531
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:32,760
that to master
the art of illusory assassination,

532
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,120
the practitioner has to kill
at least ten people.

533
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,480
You've decided to be Chao Yuan
and not Situ Ling.

534
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:43,680
Is that so?

535
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,960
Ming Yi,

536
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,800
whatever I did,

537
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,920
it's for you.

538
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,720
Why? Why the obsession?

539
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:03,920
You don't trust me.

540
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,840
No matter what I did,

541
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,640
you still won't trust me.

542
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,480
Yet you trust Ji Bozai wholeheartedly.

543
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:20,920
Why must it be him?

544
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,600
All I know is that

545
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,320
even if you're no longer
the Situ Ling I know,

546
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,400
I will still do everything
I can to stop Chao Yuan,

547
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,440
just like how Situ Ling
did everything to save me.

548
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,800
Give up while you still can, Chao Yuan.

549
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,080
You mustn't be like your father.

550
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,680
It's too late.

551
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,000
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
