I lose my words

Episode 07 (30) Deviated Spirit

Nie Mingjue.

Lan Xichen.

Jin Guangyao.

We hereby take an oath to become sworn brothers.

We vow not to seek fame and fortune,

and vow to be of one heart and one mind, and to help the needy.

May the heaven and the earth be our witness.

If one were to think otherwise,

they shall face a thousand accusing fingers and be torn limb from limb.

(Months later,)

(Wei Wuxian went to Qiongqi Road,)

(saved Wen Ning and his clan)

(and took them to the Yiling Burial Mounds.)

He forced his way to Qiongqi Road,

killed the foremen, and took away the Wen dogs.

How dare he!

We should have made him hand over the Stygian Tiger Amulet, after all.

Wangji.

Brother.

I

wish to bring someone back to the Cloud Recesses.

Back to the Cloud Recesses?

I want to bring him back,

and hide him away.

But he is not willing.

What are you doing, Hanguang-jun?

On behalf of Wei Wuxian,

I apologize for what happened at Qiongqi Road.

Both of us are indebted to the cultivators he saved,

Wen Ning,

and his sister, Wen Qing.

As such...

What do you mean by indebted?

Was the massacre of the Jiang Clan not the doing of the Wen dogs back then?

This Wen Qing did not seem

to have participated in any of the murders during the Sunshot Campaign.

But neither did she stop them.

She stood by the side as the Wens committed heinous misdeeds.

Now that the Wens have perished,

she deserves to suffer for her inaction.

Clan Leader Nie is right.

Chifeng-zun is right.

Please settle down, everyone.

That is not the subject

of today's conference.

Clan Leader Jiang.

Nowadays, it seems that everyone is saying

that the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng depends solely on Wei Wuxian.

What is going on with that?

If you ask me,

I think Wei Wuxian had planned

to take away those Wen dogs in the first place.

What do you mean?

He used the opportunity to leave the Jiang Clan

and he possesses the Stygian Tiger Amulet.

Are you sure he is not doing this so that he can form a clan of his own?

No.

He has always been like that since he was a child.

He does whatever he wants.

Even my father couldn't do anything about it.

Brother Fengmian couldn't do anything about him?

I'm afraid Brother Fengmian was simply biased.

Did you know what he said yesterday, Clan Leader Jiang?

"I don't give a heck about Jiang Wanyin as the head of the clan."

No.

I never heard Wei Ying said that.

Neither did I hear him say anything

disrespectful towards Clan Leader Jiang.

Is that so?

Each sentence from Mr. Wei was more incredulous than the previous.

I'm sure he implied something of the sort somehow.

I knew something would go wrong with his demonic cultivation.

For the sake of a few Wen dogs,

he murdered our own!

It's not murder.

I...

I don't mean anything else.

But

if the foremen had indeed abused the captives

and killed Wen Ning,

then it wouldn't be a murder.

It would be revenge.

Twisting the facts and right and wrong.

A woman with ulterior motives is indeed...

Who has ulterior motives?

You know well what I'm talking about.

He flirted with you back inside the Xuanwu Cave,

and here you are defending him and twisting the facts!

It's her.

I think her name was...

Mianmian.

Right. Mianmian!

I knew it.

No wonder she kept speaking up for Wei Wuxian.

Women will be women.

I'm only telling the truth!

What does that have to do with me being a woman?

What a disgrace.

I can't believe she is one of ours.

Shameless.

She is actually speaking up for Wei Wuxian.

She has been corrupted by him, all right.

Why was someone like her allowed to enter the Gold Point Pavillion?

All of you...

Fine.

Your voices are louder.

All right.

You get to decide.

She took off her robe and withdrew from her clan?

Who does she think she is bluffing?

That's right.

Who would care if she left?

This woman

has much more backbone

than the mob of her clan.

There are too many who are good at twisting words to get what they want.

It makes those who are willing to speak out in the name of justice

all the more valuable.

Mingjue, are you feeling better?

Much better.

Your headache

is caused by the saber spirit.

It cannot be cured,

but this Song of Clarity

may subdue it for now.

Xichen has high cultivation, and he is skilled in playing the zither.

You have nothing to worry, Mingjue.

Yao, your skills in playing the zither

are already some of the best outside of Gusu.

Were you taught by your mother?

She would never teach me things like these.

I learned by observing her.

You are gifted.

You would surely make swift progress

if you were guided by a master.

The master is right before me.

I don't dare trouble him.

Why wouldn't you?

What would you like to teach me, Mr. Lan?

How about the Song of Clarity?

I guess Clan Leader Lan really wants to give Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao

an opportunity to resolve their tension.

Brother.

Time is up.

We should take a break.

(Nie)

You just had a break half an hour ago.

Keep practicing.

You are not allowed to stop until you have mastered it.

Guangyao!

It's no use even if you hide behind him!

And you.

Stop giving him all those useless junk!

Mingjue,

Huaisang only likes to indulge in the arts and calligraphy.

Those are hardly useless.

Guangyao is right!

In cohorts now, are you?

Their relationship did improve a lot.

Unfortunately...

Please calm down, Clan Leader Nie.

I...

I will handle this matter and give a proper explanation

to Clan Leader Nie and other cultivation clans.

Men!

Take Xue Yang to the dungeon!

What? A lifetime in prison?

Mingjue, please calm down!

"Calm down"?

What did you promise me back then?

Blood for blood!

Xue Yang has the blood of dozens of lives of the Chang Clan on his hands,

and all he got was a life sentence?

Or are the rumors that the Jin Clan

intends to have Xue Yang

restore the Stygian Tiger Amulet true?

Mingjue,

how could you believe in idle rumors?

As for Xue Yang,

I can't disobey

my father's orders!

Meng Yao!

Stop pretending in front of me.

Your ways won't work on me anymore.

My ways?

Which of them?

You always say that I am too calculating and dishonorable.

But how could we be the same?

You were born with noble status, and your cultivation is high.

But what about me?

Do you think my position in Jin Clan is steady?

Do you think I would be able to rise to power after Jin Zixuan died?

Jin Guangshan has no intention of letting me succeed him!

You think that I should be afraid of nothing?

Well, I am afraid of everything!

Even some people.

You haven't changed at all, Meng Yao.

Calculating, manipulative, and using any means you can.

Absolutely shameless!

Mingjue,

you have killed far more than I did.

So why is it that even though I only killed a few cultivators

out of desperation,

you keep bringing it up, even until now?

Countless souls have fallen under my saber.

But I have never killed out of my own desires,

let alone out of the power!

Are you saying that everyone you killed deserved to die?

If I killed one to save a hundred,

would the good outweigh the bad, or do I still deserve death?

To achieve great things,

sacrifices must be made!

Then why didn't you sacrifice yourself?

Is your life worth any more than theirs?

Are you any different from them?

Yes.

They and I

are, of course, different.

It's no wonder,

coming from a son of a prostitute!

Mingjue, you mustn't!

Don't stop me!

If things go on like this,

he will do harm to the world!

It is better to finish him off now!

Your spirit is in turmoil!

Mingjue!

(Nie)

As time passed,

the saber spirit grew stronger.

You still dare to come here?

To acknowledge my mistakes.

And today is the day where I play the zither for you.

You? Acknowledge your mistakes?

Xichen told me to give you time.

Fine.

I'll give you two months.

Bring me Xue Yang's head.

All right.

I will personally bring you

Xue Yang's head in two months.

Brother!

Brother,

did you

order them to burn these?

Yes.

Why?

Did you come to question me?

An entire year has passed,

and you still haven't learned this one set of saber techniques.

You fool around every day

instead of seeking to improve.

How could the Nie Clan have produced such a good-for-nothing like you?

So what?

What did you say?

So what if I want to be a good-for-nothing?

You...

Mingjue, please calm down.

Huaisang,

your brother is doing this for your own good.

Don't anger him.

He needs to remain calm

as I play the Song of Clarity for him.

Sabers!

Practice! That's all you have me do!

Who wants to learn that dang thing?

What's the point of forcing me to learn

if I just don't like it?

I'm not going to be the clan leader anyway!

Whoever wants the position can have it!

(Nie)

- Clan Leader! - Clan Leader!

Clan Leader!

Mingjue, your spirit is disturbed! You must calm yourself!

No! Don't kill me!

Brother!

Brother!

I'm sorry.

I won't make you mad anymore, Brother.

This is...

My "Whatever"?

All right. The game is over.

Lan Zhan?

We were in a hurry.

So I carried you on my back.

(Fangfei Palace)

All right.

We will cause a bigger commotion.

The more people we can attract here, the better.

(Fangfei Palace)

Mo Xuanyu!

What are you doing?

This is my Uncle Guangyao's bedchamber!

His bedchamber, you understand?

It's night already. What's all the fuss about?

Wangji, what are you...

Inside the secret room.

What is inside the secret room?

Were all of you unsatisfied with the reception earlier?

Is that why all of you are here? To host a banquet at my place?

Yao.

Would you allow us

to take a look at your secret treasure room, please?

Xichen,

each clan's secret rooms are used to store scarcely-used treasures.

To ask me to open it up

all of a sudden...

Open it.

All right.

Please come with me.

They say that the Lan Clan values proper conduct the most.

Forcefully entering a clan leader's bedchambers

is proper conduct indeed.

It's fine.

There is hardly anything that can't be seen by others inside.

Clan Leader Jin,

This is a powerful charm indeed.

May I take a look at the object it was used to suppress?

That is...

Xuanyu is right.

This belonged to Wen Ruohan.

It is surrounded by malicious energy.

That is why I added a charm to it.

You may all

have a look at it yourself.

Isn't that Madam Jin?

Su?

Weren't you in the gardens with guests earlier?

When did you get here?

Su,

why are your hands so cold?

Su, what are you doing?

Su!

From what I could see earlier,

Qin Su didn't seem to be controlled or manipulated.

Why would she suddenly take her own life?

And that thing.

Where could he have moved it

in such a short time?

Su...

Yao.

You have my condolences.

Xichen.

I don't understand.

You wanted me to open the secret room all of a sudden.

And Su...

Is there something

you are not telling me?

Do you still remember the Demonic Arm from Mo Village

and the legs of the corpse in Traverse Hill?

Of course.

The dismembered corpse that had its soul scattered

was Mingjue.

What?

Chifeng-zun?

Impossible!

How could it be Mingjue?

He has already been buried, hasn't he?

You and I saw it with our own eyes.

Brother Xichen.

You said

it was my brother?

Huaisang.

I'm sorry.

Huaisang.

Huaisang!

A dismembered body and a scattered soul.

Who would do such a heartless thing?

I don't know.

The trail was broken when we were trying

to locate the whereabouts of his head.

So you guys are suspecting

that Mingjue's head is here?

Fine.

Forget it.

But how did you come to the conclusion that it was here?

Xichen.

Hanguang-jun.

Or

was it you,

Xuanyu?

How should I explain this?

I was the one who expelled you from the clan back then.

If you have any grievances, come at me.

But Su is...

Su is innocent!

Mo Xuanyu!

You murdered Madam Jin!

Surrender yourself!

(Whatever)

Xuanyu,

you drew

out the sword?

No, you are not Xuanyu.

You are Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch!

What are you after

that warrants you to do

a cruel thing to my wife?

Wait, Uncle Guangyao!

There must have been a misunderstanding!

A misunderstanding?

This sword's spirit

has long been sealed.

No one is able to draw it out.

Except

for the Yiling Patriarch himself.

Uncle. Uncle!

You whipped him with Purple Lightning before, didn't you?

He didn't seize Xuanyu's soul by force!

Yes.

He didn't seize someone's soul.

But someone performed a sacrificial ritual to revive him.

Wei Wuxian!

Don't even think about leaving here alive today!

Hanguang-jun! You...

(Fangfei Palace)

Lan Zhan.

Are you sure about this?

Once we step out of this door, your reputation will be ruined.

Jin Ling?

Jin Ling, let me...

Wei Ying!

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?
