=Episode 32=

(Cangwu Library)

Let's bid farewell here.

We'll leave by ourselves.

Are you really leaving?

Of course.

Or should we stay here for dinner?

Xuanyuan Dapan collected many rare treasures

and books on martial arts.

I don't want to soil my hands

with his stuff.

Is this endless?

Lord ordered

that if Your Highness didn't enter

the mansion of Xuanyuan Dapan, Guniujiang,

this silk bag should be given to you.

What if I did?

I don't know about that.

If Your Highness doesn't fail Mount Hui,

Mount Hui won't fail Your Highness.

My father and I are of one mind.

Your father wants to share his knowledge of martial arts

with me.

You deserve it.

I don't want it.

Well...

Your Highness.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng entered

the Realm of Immortal-on-Earth.

His book

is a treasure.

I have my own way to go.

Why should I learn from others?

This book will be kept in Mount Hui.

It's available at any time.

You go first.

I want to talk to her.

Let's go.

You leave, too.

Yes.

Well, well.

You don't have to be so careful.

Let me be frank with you.

You have neither nice boobs

nor a nice butt.

Your face is scrunched up all day long.

I have no interest in you.

Hold back your feelings

and just do what you should do.

I'm leaving, my friend.

Please stay.

What's wrong?

I want to ask you one thing.

Go ahead.

Are you here in Mount Hui

for the sake of chivalry

or are you up to something else?

The Xuanyuan Family in Mount Hui

has been in my plans,

but I didn't know the character of them

before I came here.

I chose to help Xuanyuan Qingfeng in the end.

I think it's meant to be.

So, you mean

it's an act of chivalry?

Be as good as you can, regardless of where it leads you.

But sometimes,

you have to do good deeds first in order to have a good future.

That's vague.

What did you borrow a boat for?

I said

I wouldn't tell anyone

until the last minute.

For revenge.

Jiang Ni.

I can't tell why,

but what I saw

during this trip to Mount Hui

somehow scared me a little bit.

What are you scared of?

Xu Xiao.

Don't fool me.

Everyone in the world is scared of Xu Xiao,

except you.

I don't believe what you said.

I'm scared of the day when he gets old.

My Lady.

Lord ordered

that if Xu Fengnian didn't take the book,

this silk bag should be given to you.

If Xu Fengnian doesn't take the book,

he will reach

the Celestial Realm one day

and he can be a trusty ally of Mount Hui.

How many silk bags did my father prepare?

I only have two.

The material is fine.

It must've cost him a lot.

Did he use his private money?

He didn't tell me.

(Strategy Written in a Cottage)

It's a pity about the book.

I'm glad you didn't take it.

Ah?

Why do you say that?

Martial art is not like a stew

that gets better with more ingredients.

You refuse to learn from others.

Now your state of mind

feels like Snakes in Sleeves.

My state of mind?

Um.

I was thinking

that if I took the book,

she wouldn't owe me anything then.

The Xuanyuan Family is something

I could use later.

Since you said that,

it also makes sense in terms of the state of mind.

I guess I'm a martial arts prodigy.

Father has...

I know.

He also left you a silk bag?

Maybe he couldn't say it in person,

so he wrote it down.

There is no word on it.

Well, I get it.

There is nothing to say.

He killed Xuanyuan Dapan

as an Immortal-on-Earth

and got the retainers to assassinate Xuanyuan Jingyi.

He left me messages

and taught me to control the alien officials.

Mount Hui takes on a new aspect

and has a new lease of life now.

He planned these all by himself.

But he still died.

Do you still think he was a weak man?

Don't you think we blamed him wrongly

and misunderstood him?

Where is the son of the Lord of North Liang?

What's his plan about you?

It's not bad for you

to be a royal consort.

Your dowry will be Mount Hui's century-old foundation.

You won't be treated badly.

Sorry to disappoint you, Mother.

His Highness wants nothing to do with Mount Hui

and he doesn't want me, either.

It's only for now.

We don't know about the future.

You want to sell me to him?

That way we can get what we want.

You want me to count on him.

No one can live

without asking for help.

I'd like to be an exception.

It doesn't matter

if you can't be a royal consort.

The world is turbulent now.

We can use the power of North Liang to sustain Mount Hui.

Alright.

I won't say anything else.

You've grown up.

You know what you are doing.

I want to build a tomb for my father on the Snowfield.

It's up to you.

You don't care about it at all?

The wine he made is good.

When a cup of cinnamon wine is drunk,

two peach blossoms appear on the face.

Father wrote it.

He also said

the old laurel tree's fruits

fall down like rain on the mountain every autumn.

It's proud but not obsequious.

That sounds like the way he lived in the world.

Now you're saying good things about him.

Isn't it ironic?

Did I ever say anything bad about him?

Father read books for 20 years for our sake.

Finally, he became

the most tolerant Immortal-on-Earth.

Rest assured.

Father took all his efforts to achieve what we have now.

I will do anything to keep Mount Hui standing.

(All I want is for my love to come back.)

Jingcheng.

I'm not mad at you anymore.

Where is your teacher?

He was summoned to Mount Longhu.

Something went wrong?

Mount Longhu summoned me.

Your Highness, please get on the road immediately.

Something happened in Mount Longhu.

Those who don't know the fact must think he is asking me to die.

Since that's what Senior Zhao said,

I'll get us ready to set out.

Mount Longhu invites Your Highness to come and enjoy the view!

Don't care about him. Let's go.

I can leave.

What about Huangman'er?

Mount Longhu's Arch-Taoists' Office,

the number one sect in the world.

Let's meet them.

(Arch-Taoists' Office, Mount Longhu)

What a big head!

(The Best Goods)

The Best Goods.

Well,

does Arch-Taoists' Office become a shop now?

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

The Best Goods.

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

The Best Goods.

We didn't write it.

We didn't write it?

Don't follow me.

I'll go there alone.

No!

Huangman'er, be a good boy.

I'll go up there to deal with some affairs.

Just wait here for me.

I'll wait for you.

Um.

Your Highness,

you should bring a maid with you.

No need.

We won't fight.

Even if we will,

you girls won't make any difference.

Or...

You can't go there with your identity.

Um.

Sometimes I just don't get it.

Do I owe anything to one of you?

How about I go with you?

Thank you, Senior!

Why don't you ask me to stay?

You are too powerful to be stopped.

You are almost

as shameless as your father.

Senior, thanks to the influence of my family.

All right, let's go.

Just a minute.

This is the end

of your journey.

After we get to Mount Longhu, I'll leave the team

and rescue Young Master Longxiang on my own.

When I get back to North Liang,

I'll confess my crime and ask for punishment.

Let's go up there.

Um.

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

Master!

Zhao Xituan has arrived.

Why don't you come out?

I'm in the zone.

Then why did you ask me to come?

It's me who invited you here to discuss important matters!

Oh.

Danping, you are back.

Forget about the important matters for now.

What's with the plaque above the door?

I just heard from Master

that it was written by a little monk.

A little monk?

Yeah.

A few days ago, a little monk came with a girl

to debate doctrines.

He's from Double-Zen Temple.

He is still a child

and he cares about

the result.

He even made a bet.

Um.

Did he lose?

He lost two games.

We let the juniors debate with him.

The little monk does have some wisdom.

He is proficient in calligraphy and painting.

Why did he write

The Best Goods?

Goods is the little girl's name.

Oh.

Well,

what about the big head?

The little monk drew himself

to amuse the little girl!

Interesting.

Why don't you erase it?

Keep it

so the juniors

can feel ashamed.

Oh.

Alright.

Forget about the debate.

Let's get down to business now.

I've stayed out of this for years.

You got me here today specially.

How important is it?

It's not that important.

Oh.

Just to kill a prince and Xu Fengnian.

We just left Mount Hui, and now we are climbing Mount Longhu.

It's been a busy day.

Senior.

It's not easy to go up Mount Longhu,

and it's even harder to leave.

Let me tell you about the real situation.

On the surface, there are only

four Arch-Taoists in Mount Longhu.

Zhao Danxia is the Master.

Zhao Xiyi is the oldest by seniority.

Zhao Danping is stationed in the capital all year round.

Then it's the teacher of Huangman'er,

Zhao Xituan, Taoist Zhao.

As far as I know, the four of them haven't reached the Celestial Realm.

But you said

that the realm doesn't necessarily represent the strength.

The four of them

are probably not weaker than Xuanyuan Dapan.

Why are you telling me this?

Just be frank with me.

Can you take down the four of them together?

Why would I fight with them?

What if they try to hurt me?

Why would they hurt you?

For world peace.

World peace?

But if Xu Fengnian dies,

Xu Xiao will wipe out Mount Longhu.

Who can compete

with the North Liang Cavalry?

He doesn't have to be dead.

What do you mean by that?

Destroy Xu Fengnian's Dahuangting.

In the future,

after Xu Xiao dies,

there will be internal strife in North Liang.

Xu Xiao has left the capital safely

and he is heading back to North Liang.

The court hasn't made any move yet,

why should we

get ourselves involved in this?

It concerns the national destiny.

How can we be so timid?

Who said that?

The Prime Minister,

Zhang Julu.

It's about

the future of Liyang.

Since Mount Longhu

enjoyed the benefits

of the court,

you should serve your country.

They are using us as their knife.

That's why I said

we only need to destroy his Dahuangting

and keep him alive.

We in Mount Longhu

are not Zhang Julu's retainers.

Xu Fengnian

got his Dahuangting

from Wudang.

Does it ever occur to you that if he takes over North Liang,

Wudang will take advantage of the situation and rise up?

We need to nip this in the bud.

We can blame it on Zhang Julu

after we make it

and let him bear the wrath of Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao is no fool.

North Liang will surely become

Mount Longhu's archenemy.

Don't forget

that Xu Longxiang

is your disciple.

Hey!

Don't hurt my disciple.

We won't do anything to him.

Not only that,

we will teach him well.

Xu Xiao has only two sons.

Once Xu Fengnian dies,

only Xu Longxiang will take over North Liang.

If we make it,

the Prime Minister will owe Mount Longhu one

and the court will praise our loyalty.

Wudang will fall

and the lord of North Liang

will be Mount Longhu's disciple.

We can kill four birds with one stone.

Mount Longhu's centenary goal

will be realized.

Master!

It's time to make a decision!

I'm in the zone.

You can decide.

Where is Zhao Xiyi?

He is also in the zone.

Eh.

I still think

we shouldn't do that to Xu Fengnian.

There is no turning back now.

Did you just say we needed to kill a prince?

Just an unknown illegitimate prince.

Unknown?

How do you know?

What's his name?

Who are you?

Zhao Kai.

What's the surname of the current royal family?

Also Zhao.

You can tell if I can give you a bright future

with that surname.

Take a look over there.

There is a senior here.

You'll learn any martial art you want.

What exactly do you want me to do?

To kill Xu Fengnian.

You can't kill him!

No, we can't kill him!

But we can destroy his Dahuangting.

Xu Fengnian has many guards around him.

I'm no match for them.

I'm not asking you to fight with them.

Just bring him here,

and the senior will take care of the rest.

Why me?

Xu Fengnian just got down from Mount Hui.

Tell him Xuanyuan Qingfeng is up to something.

I'm sure he'll be interested in it.

After all,

he knows you used to be a retainer of Xuanyuan.

Then all you need to do

is to lure him here.

Li Chungang is beside Xu Fengnian!

The old God of Sword.

I wonder if he is still as powerful as before.

It makes no sense.

Well,

you're going to destroy Xu Fengnian's Dahuangting

and kill Zhao Kai?

Zhao Kai wants to instigate a war

so that he can fish in troubled waters.

This man is a troublemaker.

We can't keep him!

That's still a prince you want to kill.

We can blame it on Xu Fengnian.

It's more whimsical.

Master!

One careless move

might topple Mount Longhu!

We need to take the long view!

Just be decisive.

Stop worrying about it.

Xu Fengnian is outside the gate now.

I'll do it myself.

Is this how you discuss with me?

You are ready to do it!

People call me Scholar of Sacrificial Article.

They only remember the brush in my hand,

but they forget that I can also wield a sword!

(The Best Goods)

What kind of style is this?

The painting looks familiar.

Please come in, Your Highness.

The vibe doesn't feel right.

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

Senior.

You're not afraid of the four Arch-Taoists, right?

Why didn't you bring Jiang Ni with you?

What's the use of bringing her here?

Although Cao Changqing doesn't show up,

he has been protecting Jiang Ni by her side.

If you bring Jiang Ni with you,

she won't stand by and do nothing

if Mount Longhu tries to hurt you,

and then Cao Changqing will have to step out.

You're smart.

I think you know it.

Actually, I'm not that smart.

I don't want

to get Jiang Ni involved in this kind of matter.

Xu Fengnian.

What's the matter?

Cao Changqing once warned Jiang Ni

that maybe

she would have to make a choice

between you and West Chu one day.

How did she choose?

She's not going to have an answer until then.

Right.

What about you?

How would you choose

between Jiang Ni and North Liang?

Why should I choose?

North Liang needs to protect the country. Jiang Ni will go west.

They're in conflict.

The world is vague,

and it's hard to tell what's right and what's wrong.

There is no choice that I must make.

I won't

put myself in that kind of situation.

North Liang and Jiang Ni,

I want both of them.

Senior, let's go.

Let's take a walk in Arch-Taoists' Office.

Senior?

I could have had both of them.

Senior?

Are you okay?

Many years ago,

I went to Mount Longhu.

I've heard of it.

You came to Mount Longhu

to challenge Qi Xuanzhen, the Master at that time.

Actually, I came to ask him for the life-extension golden elixir.

To save one's life?

Yes.

Did you make it?

She died

before I met Qi Xuanzhen.

She must mean a lot to you.

How did she die?

I killed her myself.

After she died,

I went to see Qi Xuanzhen anyway.

I forced Qi Xuanzhen to have a match with me,

as if her death was no big deal.

At that time, we only debated the martial arts of swords.

We didn't fight.

But my sword mind was in turmoil

and I lost badly.

I even fell out of the Celestial Realm.

I fought with other people after I got down the mountain

and lost my arm.

Now it seems like a lifetime ago.

If it weren't for Qi Xuanzhen to disturb my sword mind,

how would I end up like this?

Was it really Qi Xuanzhen

who disturbed your sword mind?

If Li Chungang wasn't born,

it would be boring.

If Li Chungang wasn't born,

the sword way

would take forever to be discovered.

If Li Chungang wasn't born,

the sword way

would take forever to be discovered.

It would be boring...

If I met you at that time

and knew that a man could be such a scoundrel and have all he wanted,

the result might be different.

If she was important to you,

why did you kill her?

She tried to kill me,

but she stopped.

She was the daughter of my enemy.

She couldn't kill me after we met.

Either to kill me,

or to be killed by me,

she chose the latter,

and she picked the perfect timing.

What kind of perfect timing?

My Mumaniu was broken by Wang Xianzhi.

She was worried that I would lose my confidence,

so she chose to fight with me at that time

and got killed by my sword.

I don't understand.

At that time, she and I

were both among the four grand masters.

Spear God, Wang Xiu.

Fujiang Armor, Ye Hongting.

Feng City Lyupao?

Yes.

She thought she could cheer me up in that way.

Isn't it funny?

Xu Fengnian.

You and Jiang Ni

mustn't make stupid choices like we did.

How about we make a bet?

Regardless of fate

and God's will,

I, Xu Fengnian,

will always choose my own path.

What's the bet?

To stay alive

and watch me live a bright life.

You bad boy.

Senior, let's go.

Let me accompany you

to take a tour at Arch-Taoists' Office again.

(Dragons Rising from Lake Ding)

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

Senior!

Make an introduction!

I'm Zhao Danping. Greetings to Senior Li!

Zhao Danping, Scholar of Sacrificial Article. Taoist Zhao.

What brings you back?

Did you have a hard time in the capital?

God of Sword, you shook the world with one move of your sword

in an unrestrained and appealing way!

How do you

become a guardian of North Liang now?

Are you my son?

Ah?

Since you are not my son,

why do you care

what I do?

You are right.

Dahuangting.

You got the wrong person!

My last name is not Da!

My last name is Xu,

and I'm Xu Fengnian!

The genuine spirit

is rare.

What a pity!

Why?

I'm afraid I'll never see it again!

Are you going to be blind?

I could save your life.

I'll only destroy your Dahuangting,

and then

I can let you off.

Senior Zhao!

Is this a decision made by Mount Longhu?

Master didn't issue an order.

Zhao Danping.

Don't be so willful.

Master is in the zone.

I can take charge

of these trifles.

I don't think so!

Senior Li.

This is

Mount Longhu.

I just figured something out at the gate

and I made a bet with the boy.

I want to see what his future holds.

Therefore,

you can't hurt him!

But you don't even

have a sword now.

Who said that?

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

If Li Chungang wasn't born,

the sword way would take forever to be discovered.

Swords!

Come!

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

I don't think so!

What's the matter?

Li Chungang

reentered the Realm of Sword-Immortal-on-Earth.

Sword-Immortal-on-Earth?

Didn't he fall sharply?

Didn't he even fall out of the Celestial Realm?

How did he become a Sword-Immortal-on-Earth?

God of Sword.

There's no need to bring Xu Fengnian here.

If we fight

with Li Chungang right now,

whether we win or lose,

we will lose one life.

Senior,

I understand.

You have one last chance.

Wudi City?

Wang Xianzhi once broke Li Chungang's sword,

Mumaniu.

Now,

Li Chungang reentered the Realm of Sword-Immortal-on-Earth.

When he gets to Wudi City,

I think he will fight with Wang Xianzhi once again.

At that time, there'll be no other God of Sword

by Xu Fengnian's side.

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

God of Sword,

you entered the Realm of Sword-Immortal-on-Earth.

Congratulations.

Mount Longhu

never wanted to hurt His Highness.

What happened today

is a misunderstanding.

Who are you?

Show yourself!

I'm Zhao Danxia.

I'm in the zone

and it's inconvenient for me to come out.

You are the new master of Mount Longhu.

A misunderstanding?

Senior.

I was just curious

which realm you were in.

That was a little test.

Please don't mind.

Are you one of the four Arch-Taoists?

Just a bubble reputation.

The Arch-Taoists among this generation are something.

I'm overpraised.

Then, we're leaving!

Senior.

(Arch-Taoists' Office) Please go ahead.

Come on!

Let's go down the mountain!

Senior!

Take good care of my younger brother!

Don't pick on him!

I'm ill-tempered!

(Arch-Taoists' Office)

Let's go.

Er…

Senior!
