Episode 05 (28) An Old Acquaintance

It's still warm.

That person sure is careful.

There isn't anyone here.

Hanguang-jun,

you don't often read those novels.

You can't catch these sorts of characters that easily.

Oh, your headband is askew.

Oh, look at you fumbling.

Why don't you just take it off?

You... You actually took it off.

Lan... Lan Zhan,

what are you trying to do?

(Liquor)

This is more like it.

All of us just made it out from Yi City.

We've shared a life and death experience.

We shouldn't be arguing.

Drink up!

Your alcohol tolerance is terrible.

Zizhen,

let's keep drinking!

Zizhen has returned to Baling.

I'm Lan Sizhui.

Hm?

Oh, Lan Sizhui.

The annoying guy

who is a stickler for the rules.

Rules? What rules?

Even if Hanguang-jun was here today,

I would still drink to my heart's content!

Drink up!

Han... Hanguang-jun!

Hanguang-jun.

Weren't you resting on the second floor?

Why are you...

It was stuffy inside.

So Hanguang-jun went out for a walk.

And we thought we would check up on you guys.

And look.

We caught three of you here sneakily drinking alcohol.

Hanguang-jun, your headband.

What... What is he doing?

He is demonstrating a special use of the Lan Clan's headband.

What? "Special use"?

For instance, when you run into a strange corpse

and need to capture it and bring it back with you for further investigation.

You can use the headband

and tie them up like this.

You can't do that! Our headband is...

I see.

I didn't know that it could be used this way.

Huh?

Lan Zhan,

you won't be able to face them

when you wake up and sober up tomorrow.

Do you still want your headband back?

Yes.

Then, hurry up and untie me.

No.

Oh, you're still sober enough to answer me.

All right. Let me ask you something.

Have you

ever stolen a sip of the Emperor's Smile you hid in your room?

No.

Do you like rabbits?

Yes.

Have you ever broken the rules before?

Yes.

How did you recognize me?

Why are you helping me?

Oh, I see.

You pretend not to understand me at moments like these, huh?

Come on. Just tell me, Lan Zhan.

Oh, no.

It's "Good Brother".

We only missed a night of playing "Rest" for him,

and he has already pieced himself back together.

Don't move!

Senior Mo, you're so loud.

Aren't you afraid that he'll notice you?

Don't worry. He is headless.

He can't hear or see.

It doesn't matter how loud you are.

Really? Let me try.

Hey!

Didn't you say it would be all right?

Huh?

He is only going after Jin Ling?

So that's how it is.

- Zewu-jun! - Zewu-jun!

From the looks of it,

even as powerful as Dustless and New Moon are,

they won't be able to subdue him.

Who on earth is this fierce corpse?

Such power and strength.

Could it be that he really is...

Lan Zhan!

Catch it!

This posture.

"Good Brother" used

to practice sabers.

Lan Zhan,

did you figure out

who he is, just like your elder brother did?

Huh?

He actually fell asleep standing up.

Seven feet tall.

A muscular build.

He wielded a sword,

but his techniques revealed the ways of a saber.

Many cultivators wield swords.

Only a few wield sabers,

and even fewer manage to achieve such skill.

Clan Leader Lan,

is this the late Clan Leader of the Nie Clan of Qinghe,

Chifeng-zun?

Based on your expression,

it seems you have an idea of the person

who tore his soul into pieces is as well.

No.

The Tomb of Blades of Nie Clan in Qinghe.

The men in black were familiar with the Lan Clan's sword techniques.

The mastermind behind all of those men

must have close ties to the Lan Clan.

He knows the secret of the Tomb of Blades of the Nie Clan,

and has a connection to Chifeng-zun.

Among everyone in the hall earlier,

Chifeng-zun only attacked Jin Ling and me.

Both of us only have one thing in common.

The blood of Jin

runs in both of our veins.

It can't be him.

Clan Leader Lan,

the annual Discussion Conference will be held at Jinlintai soon.

If everything goes as expected,

the truth

will soon be revealed.

(Jinlintai)

I understand

that due to various reasons,

many people have misconceptions of Yao.

But

I only believe in what I have seen

in all these years I have spent with him.

I have faith in him.

Lan Zhan.

What significance does the headband

actually hold for the Lan Clan?

How many times were you told to copy the "Rules and Etiquette"

when you were studying in Gusu?

Five? Six?

I can't remember.

Why do you ask?

You've copied them for nothing.

Pretending to be mysterious.

Speaking of which,

you said a lot when you were drunk last night, Lan Zhan.

What did I say?

Nothing much.

Things like... Hm...

You said

you really like

rabbits!

It's not a big deal, Hanguang-jun.

Rabbits are adorable. Who wouldn't like them?

I like them too.

I like to eat them!

Hey! Wait for me, Lan Zhan!

Clan Leader Lan.

Hanguang-jun.

Clan Leader Jiang.

You have never brought an outsider with you here.

What a surprise.

I wonder who this special and talented guest of yours is.

Won't you introduce me to him?

Well...

Xichen.

Yao.

Why didn't you tell me Wangji was coming too?

- Lianfang-zun. - Lianfang-zun.

I've troubled you a lot to help with the preparations, Xichen.

It is nothing. You're too courteous, Yao.

Uncle.

So you still know that I'm your uncle.

Clan Leader Jiang,

Ling knew his mistakes.

He was so worried about how you would punish him

that he could hardly eat.

You spoil him the most.

Don't be too harsh on him.

That's right.

Uncle Guangyao can attest to that.

I haven't had much of an appetite for the past few days.

You look healthy to me.

You must have been eating well.

Why are you here?

For a free meal.

How dare you still show up here!

Didn't I tell you...

All visitors are our guests.

Jinlintai may not have much,

but we certainly have enough to feed all of you.

Lan Clan of Gusu. Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.

Please enter the hall from here.

Let's leave the talk for later then.

Please head inside and take your seats first, everyone.

I'll be there shortly.

Ling, you head inside too.

All right, Uncle Guangyao.

Su Clan of Moling. Please enter the hall from here.

The Su Clan of Moling?

I've never heard of it.

A new clan?

I think I've seen

Clan Leader Su somewhere before.

Who is that man?

Why is he sitting next to Hanguang-jun?

(Jin Chan)

Mo Xuanyu.

How dare that shameless brat returned.

Hanguang-jun.

Hanguang-jun.

What is it?

You must not leave my side today.

If anyone were to come up to me and tried to start a conversation,

I might speak nonsense and be taken for a mad fool,

that would reflect badly on you.

All you have to do is not provoke others.

That's easy enough.

Clan Leader Jin and his wife, Madam Jin, have arrived.

(Qin Su)

Qin Su?

The daughter of Qin Cangye, Jin Guangshan's subordinate?

Didn't Qin Cangye strongly oppose their marriage back then because of Jin Guangyao's heritage?

Today, I have invited all of you here for the annual Discussion Conference.

We are honored to have the prestigious members and clans of the cultivation world here.

We hold this banquet to welcome all of you.

I hereby toast

to a successful discussion conference

for the next seven days.

A toast to everyone.

A toast to a successful conference.

The cultivation world is in a state of peace and harmony right now.

It is a blessing for us

to have Lianfang-zun as our Chief Cultivator.

However,

there have been some concerning rumors lately.

That person

seems to have returned.

Who?

The Yiling Patriarch.

Wei Wuxian.

I heard rumors of that too.

The Ghost General was summoned by the Yiling Patriarch,

and appeared on Dafan Mountain.

The person who summoned the Ghost General

was not the Yiling Patriarch.

Who else could it be then?

Could the Ghost General even be controlled by another person?

That's right.

Mo Xuanyu

is skilled in demonic cultivation.

He single-handedly destroyed the corpse-trapping array at Huaicang Mountain.

Who else but the Yiling Patriarch

could have the skills and ability to do such a thing?

But Clan Leader Jiang's Purple Lightning had no effect on him!

The Purple Lightning makes no mistakes.

My brother's innocence has been proven.

As for the rumors of him practicing demonic cultivation,

you may share your opinions

during the discussion conference tomorrow.

Please.

Thank you for your guidance, Hanguang-jun.

I shall take my leave now.

I'll head outside first.

I failed to track the direction using the Demonic Left Arm again.

It sure is hard

to find a head in this huge place.

Oh, you managed to dodge.

You've improved.

What's the matter, Mo Xuanyu?

Did your memory fail you?

How dare you still show your face here.

Get him.

What are you afraid of?

He was chased out of here only a few months ago.

He is no someone.

Get him!

What's going on?

Jin Ling?

Hey, Jin Chan,

you'll have to through Hanguang-jun first

if you want to lay a hand on him.

Here I thought it was someone important.

Jin Ling,

didn't you used to hate him too?

That lunatic harassed Lianfang-zun!

And you're still standing up for him?

Who?

Lianfang-zun?

Jin Guangyao?

Oh, Mo Xuanyu.

It's one thing for you to stare and bother someone else,

but why did you have to...

I can't lay a hand on him.

But I sure can deal with you.

Don't call your dog here if you dare!

Dog?

I can take you guys down

even without Fairy!

Hit him!

Left!

Why are you still standing there?

What? Hey!

Have you learned it?

Do you want to die?

Pretentious tricks.

Get him!

Watch carefully now.

Did you not see it?

Let's do it again then.

Have you learned it, Jin Ling?

Yes.

You... You'll pay for this!

Let's go!

I'm not afraid of you!

A bunch of silly geese.

You look happy.

Is this your first time winning against them?

I always win one-on-one.

But they always come in groups.

They're shameless.

Want to learn a few more tricks from me?

I guarantee you'll win in fights.

How about it?

Why are you like this?

Uncle Guangyao always tells me not to fight.

But you're encouraging me to fight.

Are you Wei Ying?

What do you think?

Never mind.

I doubt you have the guts to lie to me.

And

stop bothering Uncle Guangyao.

Don't worry.

I've long moved on from him.

Who? What?

Bai from the stables?

Jin from the fish pond?

Or is it

my Fairy?

What the heck are you talking about?

I told you before on Dafan Mountain, didn't I?

You... What did you say back then?

My type

is someone like Hanguang-jun.

You...

Hanguang-jun!

I... I'll take my leave now.

Running off just like that?

"Hanguang-jun"?

Who do you think you're fooling?

"Don't worry."

"I've long moved on."

Lan Zhan,

how long have you been here?

Well, Jin Ling

is always alone.

He doesn't even have someone to fight with him by his side.

Doesn't Jin Guangyao have a son or a daughter

around his age that's close to him?

Jin Guangyao had a son.

But the child was murdered

and passed away at a young age.

That is the young master of Jin Clan!

How could he have been murdered?

The observation towers.

He was killed by one of the clans who opposed the plan?

What happened to them after that?

The entire clan was wiped out.

(Fangfei Palace)

(Your son's death was not...)

Ai wa shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Ugokidasu yume no saki e

The dream began to move forward

Taenu arasoi no hate ni

What awaits us

Nani ga bokura wo matteiru deshou?

at the end of this unbearable battle?

Sore ga totemo utsukushii no nara

If it was a beautiful

Kokoro wa mitasareteku kara

it would fulfill my heart immensely

Ima, tsukiyo ni hibiita uta

Now, the scent of the tree

Kaze hakobu mokuren no nioi

that sings the poem resonates in the moonlit night

Mahou no you ni kokoro wo tsukande

has seized my heart like magic

Itsu made mo hanasou to wa shinai

that will never be spoken of again

Parapara hora chiru negai ga

I wonder when that desire will fall apart

Itsu kara ka na futari dakara

As long as there are two of us,

Kanaerareru to shinjite

I believe we can make it come true

Sora ni kaeru no sa

Return to the Sky

Ai wo shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari wo tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Urayamu senaka mae ni

The real behind your envious exterior

Bokura niteiru

We are the same

Hontou wa shitteiru no

Do you really know?

Wasure yuku inori ga kienu you ni

Forget about it so that a wish will not fade away

Arigatou tte itta toki,

When you say "thank you",

Boku no kimochi shitta desho...?

Do you really know my feelings?
