Uncle Xue,

what kind of person

was Mu Zhengyang, really?

Zhengyang was...

He...

It's been so many years.

What's there left to hide?

The first time I saw him, he had

(Little Mu Zhengyang) no family, no home,

just wandering,

fighting dogs for scraps like an animal.

He could barely speak in full sentences.

The village kids

called him a mongrel.

Mongrel!

Nobody wants you!

Little mongrel!

You're not fit to play with us.

Get him!

They were cruel, those kids.,

always picking on him.

But he never broke.

He wouldn't bow to them.

They'd beat him until he bled,

but his eyes

stayed fierce, like a cornered wolf's.

One day, I couldn't just watch.

I stepped in.

- Little mongrel! Bad guys, bad guys!

- Run! Run! - Bad guys!

You okay?

Come here.

Good boy. Hang in there.

My mother

saw him, took pity,

took him in.

Careful now.

Easy.

Go on, eat.

But the good times didn't last.

My father

had a hunting accident.

Then the village bullies set their sights on us.

One night,

they broke in.

Come here. Come on.

Hold still.

You animal!

Let go!

Come on!

No!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, wake up!

Mother!

Mother!

Please wake up!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Wake up, Mother.

Please wake up.

Mother!

Mother!

Zhengyang.

I have to avenge her.

Some preyed on the helpless

and the others stood there and watched.

Zhengyang said

they all deserve to die for what they did.

What happened then?

After that,

we wandered,

just the two of us.

Until one day, we ran into

someone from the martial world.

(Young Mu Zhengyang)

Water...

Please...

Give me water...

Young Master?

What are you doing here?

You're the heir to the Li Sect.

Get back to the Hanhai Mountains now.

Zhengyang

decided to join the Li Sect.

He had these fragments

from when he was little

and someone feeding him

and holding him.

And there was another child like him.

Maybe that child

was the one they called

Young Master.

Maybe you shouldn't go.

They say those people from the Demon Sect

are savages who would eat you alive.

I have to.

I need to know

who I am.

Youfu,

go back

and wait for me.

Don't worry.

I'll come back alive.

Years later,

he came back.

He was totally different then.

Youfu!

Zhengyang!

Let me look at you!

Sit down,

let me

get you something to eat.

Zhengyang,

what is that

on your back?

What did they do to you?

Youfu,

don't worry.

Everyone who ever hurt me,

I'll make them pay.

You... you're going back?

Of course.

I'm going to take back what's mine.

There's no justice in this world.

So I'll

make my own.

That time,

he'd changed.

He said

he had a complicated identity.

Once he reclaimed his birthright,

he'd tell me everything.

And then?

We met one more time.

When he came

to talk to you about the engagement?

Yes.

That night,

he talked and talked.

For once, he seemed to have hope.

But then he said

he'd hurt Pingshu.

He was terrified she wouldn't forgive him.

He couldn't bring himself to tell her

what he really was.

He was afraid she'd leave him.

His whole life was suffering.

Bullied as a kid,

he never learned to trust anyone.

He finally met Ms. Cai, but even then,

he couldn't give her his whole heart.

In the end, that poor man

died without even knowing why.

No one

even knows where his body is.

I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Young Master.

Mu Zhengyang's hands were dripping with blood.

He killed plenty who deserved it

and plenty who didn't.

He turned this whole martial world upside down,

and my father got caught up in the wreckage.

If he ended up in hell,

good riddance.

Young Master,

I was just chatting with Miss Cai.

Let me show you something.

When did you plant this?

After you and Song Yuzhi left.

That long ago?

Zhao,

if you ever miss home,

just come here and take a look.

Mu Qingyan.

I want to give you something too.

Alright.

Mu Qingyan's taken over the Bliss Palace.

Why isn't Zhao back yet?

Our dear junior sister, that traitor,

finally got what she wanted.

She's the wife of the Chief now.

Why would she ever come back?

Enough.

Just stop.

You are still defending her?

Careful.

Steps.

Take my hand.

First step.

Second.

There.

(Peach Blossom Tavern)

I promised you, remember?

I'd share my childhood with you.

Look.

(Nutritious Pastry) This is the pastry shop.

Their peach blossom pastries

are the best.

(Ingenious Study)

And next door

is Ingenious Scholar's shop.

There are so many storybooks there.

There's this one mysterious little box,

with books they'd never let kids touch.

See this?

We're catching ants.

That's me?

I said I'd share half with you,

so you have to be here for it.

The past

is behind us.

From now on,

I just want you to be happy.

You have a beautiful smile.

You should use it more.

And pay more attention to the people around you.

I believe

that without those Sevens Pills,

You Guanyue and the others still wouldn't turn on you.

You don't need to test people

with life and death

to earn real loyalty.

Zhao.

Mu Qingyan,

I love you.

I love you

very much.

No matter whether you

deceived me,

or even lost your mind,

I can't stop myself

from loving you.

I love you so much

that I once thought of giving you everything I have.

I want to know every part of you.

I love you too much to lie to you.

I love you enough that I can't watch you

walk the same road as Mu Zhengyang.

The truth is,

even if I had known your plan from the very beginning,

I still would have chosen to save you.

You're afraid

of the dark.

All that power,

and you trust no one.

If they crippled your cultivation,

I can't imagine

how you'd survive.

But a path paved with corpses

is not the way home.

It'll just leave you with nothing.

I don't want to be locked away.

And I don't want you locked away either.

Mu Qingyan,

I have to go home.

Zhao.

Miss Cai!

Miss Cai!

We found a wedding dress shop!

Miss Cai!

Master You.

Young Master.

Where's Miss Cai?

She left.

She's gone?

I'll bring her back.

Don't.

She won't come back.

Yuzhi.

You have the nerve to come back?!

Father was good to you!

And you shamelessly schemed with that demon sect!

You betrayed your master, your sect, for a man!

You...

What happens to Zhao

should be decided by the lords.

It's good you are back.

It's good.

Zhao, Master's waiting.

Stop.

(Righteous Spirit)

My aunt's Sunshine Blade

was meant for slaying demons.

I'm not worthy to wield it.

Grandfather forged this Heart-Protect Chain for me,

and I used it to save someone from the demon sect.

I'm not worthy of this either.

Zhao. Zhao!

No, no, don't.

I, Cai Zhao, have betrayed

my master and sect,

colluded with the Demon Sect,

maimed my fellow disciples, and

shown disrespect to my elders.

My crimes are unforgivable.

Today, I sincerely plead guilty.

Whatever punishment is decreed,

I am willing

to accept it without complaint.

Cai Zhao,

are you sure about this?

Cai Zhao, traitorous disciple

of Qingque Sect,

receive your sentence. Accept your punishment.

Betrayal of master and sect,

alliance with the demon sect,

defiance of all that is right,

those are unforgivable crimes.

It is only fitting

that the sect be cleansed of her.

I'd like to see

who dares touch my daughter!

Lord Cai.

Please calm down.

No one died because of what she did.

Just strip her cultivation and be done with it.

Strip her cultivation?

What young person doesn't make mistakes?

If you ask me,

just let it go.

Let Lord Cai take her home

and deal with it privately.

A household has its rules.

A sect has its laws.

If Cai Zhao walks away from this lightly,

what's to stop other disciples

from doing the same?

Should we just

let them off easy too?

Li Wenxun,

what do you want?

Seven lashes from the Bone-Piercing Python Whip.

After that,

confinement at the Thousandfold Cliff

to reflect on her mistakes.

No!

Can anyone

survive that Python Whip?

Enough. Stop talking.

Alright.

Zhao.

Mother.

I made a grave mistake.

I deserve this.

After the punishment,

no one speaks of this again.

Mu Qingyan nearly killed my son.

This is too lenient.

You, Yang.

If it weren't for Cai Pingshu back then,

your entire family would've been

turned into corpse slaves by Nie Hengcheng.

Learn some mercy,

you ungrateful mongrel.

- Wenxun! - You...

Present the whip.

As Sect Chief,

I will carry this out myself.

Execute!

First lash!

Second lash!

Third lash!

She's just a child.

This is how you train her?

When we became sworn brother and sister,

I never pegged you for such a softie.

Zhao.

Let's go. No more training.

I'll buy you candy.

Candy! Candy!

Yes.

- Let's get candy! - Candy!

- Let's go! - Buy candy.

Candy!

- Let's get candy! - I love candy!

Fourth lash!

Fifth lash!

- Don't! - Zhao!

You can't go.

No, you can't.

Sixth lash!

I loved Yellow so much.

Why did he bite me?

I will never love a dog again.

Zhao.

Loving isn't wrong.

If you find out you love the wrong thing,

figure it out and set it right.

There's so much beauty in this world.

Don't let fear stop you

from loving.

Okay?

Seventh lash!

Zhao!

Zhao!

Qi Yunke didn't hold back at all.

Zhao is just a girl,

and he beat her so hard.

And now she's locked away in the Realm Cavern

for a whole year,

no visits, no news.

Stop pacing.

We don't even know how she's doing.

Just stop nagging.

All the sect chiefs were there.

Yunke is the head of the Six Sects.

He already allowed Feicui

to tend her wounds.

Stop complaining.

He already made an exception,

letting Yuzhi look after her.

I believe that Yuzhi

will do everything he can

to take care of Zhao.

Then we'll have to

rely on Yuzhi for that.

(Righteous Spirit)

I've prepared medicine.

Zhao will recover once she takes it.

No need.

Those seven lashes

damaged her meridians.

No medicine can fix that.

Enough.

Xiaofeng.

This is brewed from the Withered Branch.

The Withered Branch?

The one Pingshu planted?

All these years,

Lord Qi has been draining his inner power

trying to heal Pingshu's injuries.

He was waiting for this branch to bloom

to use the flower as medicine.

Enough said.

This was always meant for Zhao.

Take it to Yuzhi.

Tell him to give it to her.

(Realm Cavern)

Zhao.

Yuzhi.

Drink this,

and the pain will fade.

Thank you, Yuzhi.

Zhao,

if it hurts, cry.

I'm here.

I'll stay with you.

I'm fine.

I just need some rest.

Now that Nie Zhe is dead,

Young Master, what are your plans?

But the man in black behind him is still out there.

If we don't deal with him,

he'll become a real threat.

Young Master,

this time

Miss Cai took seven lashes from the Python Whip.

She'll live,

but those wounds

take time to heal.

Lord Qi has confined he

to the Realm Cavern at the Thousandfold Cliff

for a year of solitary reflection.

In this future year,

only Song Yuzhi

is allowed in or out

to tend to her.

From now on, she is her,

and I am me.

From now on, throughout the Li Sect,

no one speaks of her again.
