You are asking for the moon again.

Can he count as a human now?

What's his difference from the puppets we killed?

Wei Wuxian...

Was that really you?

Jiang Cheng,

you suspect that I took the shard of Yin Iron too?

Even if he's not a puppet,

how can he be distinguished from all of them?

You want to awaken his consciousness back

which is almost impossible.

Yes.

I also think it's so difficult.

But I've boasted a dozen times to his sister.

Every last one of them believes that I can save him.

I have to do this favor.

Or I'll bring shame on myself.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

I'd like to ask you that.

Wei Wuxian,

how prestigious you are all this while.

What are you two doing?

Wen Qing.

Please leave.

Rest assured.

I'm here.

Wei Wuxian,

you've pushed me too hard.

These days,

all major and minor clans in Carp Tower are confronting me endlessly.

They all want an account from me.

So I had to come here.

What account?

This case has been closed.

Those overseers got Wen Ning killed.

Wen Ning killed them in return.

Life for murder, money for debt.

Let's call that the end.

They suppose Wen Ning has died anyway.

Call that the end?

Impossible!

Do you know how many eyes are spying on you

and your Stygian Tiger Amulet?

If they caught you in this situation,

what is justified would be unjustified.

You've spoken it out.

What is justified would be unjustified.

Where else can I go

except to confine myself here?

Where? Of course, there is somewhere.

The only way to mend this

is to finish it by ourselves

before the others take action.

What do you want to do?

Come back with me

and turn in everybody here.

Are you kidding?

If I turn them in,

the only ending is that they'll be killed.

Having gone this far,

you still care about the endings?

Jiang Cheng!

Listen to what you just said.

Take it back.

Or I'll beat you.

Don't forget

who brought back the bodies of Clan Leader Jiang and Madam Yu,

who sent back the remains

buried in Lotus Pier,

and who took us in

when Wen Chao was hunting us down.

Wei Wuxian!

I'd really like to beat you up.

True.

They did save us.

But why can't you understand?

Survivors of the Wen Clan are the target of public hatred.

Those with a family name of Wen are of the most heinous guilt.

As for those who defend them,

they are going against almost everyone in the world.

Everyone resents the Wen Clan

and is hoping they have the most miserable ending.

Defenders of the Wen Clan

are opposing the mainstream.

No one will speak for them.

No one, in particular, will speak for you.

I don't need anyone to speak for me.

What on earth are you insisting on?

If you can't do it,

just step aside.

I'll do it.

Wei Wuxian,

do you understand that?

In the eyes of the four main clans,

you're a geek,

a rare swordsman,

a defiant hero, and the only one of your kind.

But once you're out of tune with them,

you become outrageously frenzied,

ignorant of ethics,

and wicked as demons.

You thought you could be independent.

You thought you could travel and live without restraints.

There's no such precedent.

No precedent?

I'll be the precedent.

Wei Wuxian,

can't you see the situation?

Do you have to make me say it out loud?

If you persist in defending them,

I won't be able to defend you.

Unable to defend me?

Just leave me then.

Leave me.

Tell the world

I defected.

From now on, everything I do

doesn't concern the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.

Wei Wuxian.

Tell me.

What on earth are you doing this for?

Jiang Cheng,

I will tell you honestly.

Even if it weren't for Wen Qing and her brother,

or for anyone else,

I'd make the exact same choice.

Wei Wuxian,

are you addicted to playing the hero?

You'll die if you can't

be prominent?

My mom was right.

You are the troublemaker of our clan.

You do things that you shouldn't be doing.

You know the discipline of the Jiang Clan, right?

You know it better than me.

You all do.

Let's decide when to fight then.

Yuan.

Let's stop. We've had enough.

Madam, I want more.

I'm hungry.

Be good, Yuan.

When it's dawn,

I'll take you to pick fruit.

I'm hungry.

Here.

Yuan.

Take this.

Qing.

Are you not feeling good today?

You didn't eat a bit.

You should keep it to yourself.

I'm fine.

Yuan is still a child.

Yes.

Yuan has to eat a lot.

These are for Yuan.

Good. It's from Wuxian.

Sir.

Distribute the rest to everyone, please.

Okay.

Here.

When crops can be raised on our virgin land,

we can stop catching fish and picking fruits then.

And Yuan...

can be satiated every day then.

Right.

It's unexpected that in such a wild area, we can grow some real food.

We can go down the mountain to buy some seeds

and grow some vegetables.

Down the mountain?

Can we do that?

Wait a while longer, I think.

Wait until that trend is out.

Madam said this one is sweet. You eat it.

I don't know the reason,

but the fruits taste especially sweet today.

Do you want to take a bite?

Young as Yuan is,

he can eat so much.

Fruits today were almost eaten up.

This is the last one.

You really don't want it?

Well...

Wei Wuxian.

You should go.

Go?

Go where?

Where you came from.

I'm actually quite content with the situation now.

As long as Ning is by my side,

that would be enough.

You don't have to be bothered about him anymore.

Whether he can get his consciousness back,

it depends on himself.

We've almost settled down here.

I'll take care of the rest.

You are from the Jiang Clan after all.

You're not like us.

Wei Wuxian,

please go.

You...

What?

You said you didn't want it.

Wei Wuxian!

What's wrong?

I'll leave it to you.

I'll leave it to you, okay?

Here.

-Eat it to death then. -Wen Qing.

I've already said it.

I'll bring Wen Ning back to normal.

I'll definitely achieve it.

If you're here to persuade me,

please don't even start.

Young Master Jiang.

This comb.

I'm afraid I can't have it after all.

Why didn't you bring it

to Lanling and find me

at that time?

At that time,

if I had met you first in Lanling,

would you have taken me to rescue Ning despite everything else?

Ning.

Our encounter with Wei Wuxian,

was it a fortune

or a misfortune?

Qing.

-It hurts. -Ning.

Qing.

-It hurts. -Ning.

-Ning! -Qing.

Don't be afraid. I am here.

-Your sister is here, Ning. -It hurts.

Don't be afraid, Ning.

Ning.

Qing.

Don't be afraid.

-Don't be afraid. -It hurts.

Ning.

Ning.

Jiang Cheng.

You seriously need to be this harsh?

Clan Leader.

Clan Leader.

Pass my words

to all cultivation clans.

Wei Wuxian defected

and rivals against all clans.

He's been banished from the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.

Clan Leader, Young Master...

From now on, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Clan of Yunmeng

will never be associated again.

Xian!

Xian!

Xian!

Xian!

Xian.

Xian.

Where are you going, Xian?

Xian! Over here!

Xian!

Xianxian!

Xian!

Xian!

Xian!

Cheng.

Cheng. Look at Xian.

Xian is in the wrong direction. You have to get him back.

Cheng.

Xian! Come back, Xian!

Xian!

Lady Jiang.

Lady Jiang. Are you there?

Lady Jiang.

Lady Jiang, are you there?

Yes.

How can I help?

Madam Jin desires your presence.

But Jiang Cheng is coming back.

Clan Leader Jiang hasn't arrived yet.

I see.

Please tell Madam Jin that

I'll just get changed and will be there soon.

Understood.

JINNUAN HALL

It's good that you're here.

I've bought the potatoes back.

Tell everyone to plant them tomorrow.

Don't look at me like that.

I've already bought them.

It's about time to give up on your turnips.

Oh, right.

I've also bought some meat.

Start cooking now. Everyone can eat meat tonight.

What are you doing?

Men and women shouldn't be improperly intimate.

You suddenly doing this

makes me sacred.

All right.

I know that you want to heal my wound.

But I'm really fine.

You see?

But if you keep delaying your cooking like this,

I might not be fine then.

I'd starve.

Where are you going?

I'll exchange them for turnips.

Haven't I said it?

No entry for anyone.

Young Master Jin.

You can come up first.

Okay.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Sorry.

It was Madam Jin who called me here.

No problem.

I'd really like to go back to Lotus Pier.

Young Master Jin. Excuse me.

Lady Jiang.

I know

this is not Lotus Pier.

But...

But I'm willing

to build another Lotus Pier for you.

Lady Jiang.

Zixuan.

ONE MONTH LATER

In my opinion,

this Yiling Patriarch is a scourge.

Who wouldn't say so?

I'll tell you what...

The ancestral grave of the family of my next-door neighbor's aunt

was dug recently.

It must have been him.

Listen to that!

I have to say

that I heard he is making puppets using corpses.

How horrifying!

In the Qiongqi Way,

he even turned living people into puppets

which led to a dozen deaths.

That puppet was a survivor of the Wen Clan.

Since then,

people call him Ghost General.

But after the case in Qiongqi Way,

the whereabouts of Ghost General is unknown.

Where else could he be?

He must be with the Yiling Patriarch.

You people

just know the half of it.

Yiling Patriarch's terrifying abilities

are more than just making puppets.

His dirty tricks

were nothing but horror.

I'm telling you...

He dug out those bodies

for cracking bones and sucking marrows

to help enhance his wicked tricks.

If the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng hadn't adopted and cultivated him,

Wei Ying would be

a mediocre wandering in the streets.

He wouldn't have defected from his clan

and injured Clan Leader Jiang.

Traitors like him

should be killed if anyone would catch him.

-That's right. -Yes!

-Right. -He should be killed.

These kinds of people should be killed.

-Yes. -Right. He deserves death.

Strange.

Who was that guy?

Why did he look at me like I owe him money?

Excuse me,

this has sprouted.

What do you want?

Please make it a bit cheaper.

No arguments. You can pick those that haven't sprouted.

I just picked a random one. It sprouted.

Which means there are not many good ones here.

You see?

It's your bad luck.

No arguments, seriously?

No.

Forget it then.

I don't want to bother buying.

Pick a random one and it's sprouted.

I might have food poisoning if I ate this.

Don't you agree, Yuan?

Yuan!

Yuan!

Yuan!

What's going on?

What is the child doing?

What happened?

That little boy cries so badly.

Was he scolded by his dad?

-How can the father... -I'm not.

Listen, everyone!

You see? You must be his dad.

Your noses look exactly the same.

Don't you agree? Everyone?

-Yes. -That's right.

This man is so cold.

Look how the child is crying.

Was he scolded by his dad?

He doesn't even know how to hug and comfort the child.

He just left him crying.

How can you be a father?

So young.

It must be your first time being a father, right?

I also didn't know anything back then.

But I know everything now after my wife gave a few more births.

Raising a child is a learning process.

Boy. Where is your mother?

Boy. Don't cry now.

-Boy. -Where is his mother?

Where is his mom?

-Where is his mom? -You're not even doing anything.

Lan Zhan.

Who is this guy?

I don't know.

Please leave. There's nothing to see now.

Do what you were going to do.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come and see my goods.

Lan Zhan. What a coincidence.

Why did you come to Yiling?

Night hunt.

Passing by.

This child...

This child...

This child is my son.

Right, Lan Zhan.

What did you do?

Why is he crying?

I didn't do anything.

I got it.

Lan Zhan,

pretty as you look,

you always look like you bear a lot of hatred.

The child is still young.

He can't tell beauty and ugliness.

So once he's stared at by some unamiable man like you,

he's definitely going to cry.

Lan Zhan. Watch.

Come and see! Toys on sale!

-Come and see! -Yuan.

Toys on sale.

Have a look.

Yuan.

-Boy... -Look, isn't that pretty?

Yes.

It is?

Come.

You see. You like it?

-Yes. -Yes?

You really do?

Sir, here.

Come on.

Wei Ying.

Why didn't you buy it for him?

Why should I?

You asked if he wanted it.

Doesn't that mean you're going to buy it?

Asking is asking, buying is buying.

Who said you have to buy it once you ask?

Which one do you want?

Come and see!

Among those,

which one do you want?

Come and see.

Trinkets. Come and see.

Favored by children or adults.

Come and see.

Sir. What do you want?

Lan Zhan. Congratulations!

He's fond of you now.

He hugs the thighs of those he likes.

And he never lets go.

So how about you quit your night hunt

and we can have a meal together.

Meal?

Don't be so cold.

You seldom come to Yiling.

And I just ran into you.

Let's talk about our old days.

Let's go. It's my treat.
