Episode 06 (29) The Venerated Triad

It's about time.

Lan...

(Four Seasons Grapefruit, Summer Drink)

(Four Seasons Grapefruit, Real Fruit)

(Four Seasons Grapefruit)

The fragrance of tea.

Fruits.

Oh, it's the Four Seasons Grapefruit.

Don't fool around.

You must be careful.

Fairy?

Is there anything in the sky?

There's nothing there.

That gave me a scare.

Xichen, Guangyao,

could you please help me again?

There's nothing in the envelope.

Qin Su?

What's going on?

She looked fine

in the banquet hall earlier.

Su?

What's the matter?

You don't look well.

Don't come over!

All because of this?

Su,

who gave you this letter?

Tell me. Is it true?

Everything that was written in the letter.

Tell me!

Tell me it's not true!

It's not true.

It's all lies.

Song...

It was you who...

Look.

I told you it was a lie. But you don't believe me.

You're making things hard for me.

All right. That's enough.

Don't over-think things.

Now, tell me.

Who gave you this letter?

You're inhumane!

You're a lunatic!

Su.

I know you won't believe anything I say now.

But my feelings for you were sincere.

You never minded my past

or my mother's lowly status.

And I've always been grateful to you for that.

I respected you, cared for you, and loved you.

But you must understand this.

Even if Song was never murdered,

he still had to die.

He had to die.

A tiger, though cruel, will never devour its cubs.

What won't and can't you do

for your status and position?

Are you really not going to tell me?

Why?

So that you can silence them as well?

It seems

that you are ill, my dear.

Let me take you back to your room.

Don't come closer... Don't...

You...

That's enough.

That mirror!

So that's how it works.

Don't be afraid, Su.

Just tell me who gave you that letter,

and you'll be able to go back.

Don't make me worry, all right?

(Sacrificial Ritual)

The scripture of the Sacrificial Ritual was with Jin Guangyao?

Then how did Mo Xuanyu get his hands on it?

Yunping City?

I knew it.

All right. The guests are still outside.

I'll come back to check on you later.

Were you

the one staring at me earlier?

It has been a long while,

Chifeng-zun.

Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan?

This is... The Sunshot Campaign.

Kill them!

Wei Ying, stop!

Hey, Lan Zhan.

It's you.

Wei Ying!

Please stop!

It's not too late!

Lan Wangji,

must you stand against me?

Wei Ying!

Lan Zhan.

Why did I think

that you hated me back then?

I never hated you.

I just...

Looking at the scene,

this must be the period during the Sunshot Campaign.

We need to go back further

to find out the cause of the deterioration

of Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao's relationship.

Here. Have some water.

Thank you.

Brother Mingjue.

Have you heard?

Clan Leader Jiang of Yunmeng's reputation is certainly soaring these days.

Of course. How could it not?

Wei Wuxian can control armies of corpses with his flute alone.

He alone is worth an army of a million.

Your brother left for Yunmeng as well, right?

Mm.

He is skilled.

The Wen dogs will have much to suffer this time.

Not bad.

Chifeng-zun has a good eye.

Speaking of which, Brother Mingjue,

do you still remember that benefactor from Yunmeng

I mentioned?

Of course.

I would very much like to meet

such a righteous and benevolent man.

Benefactor?

During the time when the Cloud Recesses was burned down,

Brother hid in Yunmeng for months.

I heard that he is under your wing right now, Brother Mingjue.

Oh? Who is he?

What? Jin Guangshan's son?

How could Jin Guangshan's son be among people like us?

No, wait. Why didn't he go and find his father?

You think he never tried?

He brought a token with him to Jinlintai last year.

And guess what happened?

He was kicked off the stairs of Jinlintai.

That makes sense.

Jin Guangshan is terrified of his wife.

He wouldn't dare acknowledge him.

Of course, he wouldn't.

His mother was a prostitute.

Who knows who is his real father?

Have you come

to kill those Wen dogs or to gossip?

Clan Leader.

A man should stand up straight

and mind no gossip.

Yes, sir.

Your performance before, during, and after every battle for the past few months

has been outstanding.

The more these people talk behind your back,

the more you must prove them wrong.

From now on,

Meng Yao will be my right-hand man.

Was Clan Leader Lan's benefactor

Jin Guangyao?

It would seem so.

(Wen Clan of Qishan)

Yao.

Zewu-jun.

No need for formalities.

The battle at Langya is fierce.

Clan Leader Jin has been

looking for capable cultivators to join his army.

I recall that you once told me

that you wished to earn your father's approval

and a place in Jinlintai.

I can't leave Hejian.

I'm indebted to Clan Leader Nie.

I...

I didn't promote you

because I wanted you to be indebted to me.

Clan Leader Nie.

I promoted you because of your capabilities

and your good character.

If you wish to repay me,

then kill more of those Wen dogs on the battlefield.

(Letter of Recommendation)

Take this letter of recommendation

and leave for Langya

today.

To find your father.

Clan Leader Nie.

Zewu-jun.

What?

(Langya Camp)

You never met Meng Yao?

That's right.

If I had known that you had sent your right-hand man over,

I would have made sure that he was treated well.

Speaking of which, Clan Leader Nie,

we are surrounded on all sides by the Wens right now,

do you have a way to defeat them?

Clan Leaders, I have an idea.

Please have a look.

You're as shameless as those Wen dogs!

That's Jin Guangyao's handwriting.

Meng Yao, what are you doing?

Clan Leader Nie.

Clan Leader Nie, you must let me explain!

I had no choice!

This man was my superior.

But he had always looked down on me

and humiliated me.

So you killed him?

No!

I would not have killed him if that had been all he did!

The plan that I had worked so hard on

was stolen by him

when he presented it to my father.

And he even called my mother...

He even said my mother was a...

I simply couldn't take it any longer,

so in a moment of anger, I...

You're lying!

You would not have purposely used

a Wen's sword to kill him if you had just lost your temper.

It was calculated.

You planned this!

Everything I've said

is true!

Meng Yao.

Tell me.

That day at Hejian,

did you also pretend

to be a weak victim so that I would

stand up for you that time?

No, I didn't!

If I hadn't stood up for you,

would you have done what you did today

and killed all of them too?

I won't do anything to you.

Go and confess your sins to your father yourself.

If what you said was indeed true,

your life would be spared.

Go.

Repent and turn over a new leaf.

Chifeng-zun...

You have sentenced me to death.

You...

Clan Leader Nie,

I...

I have forsaken your kindness.

Hang in there.

I'll channel spiritual energy into you right now.

Meng Yao.

You had better make sure

that you never fall into my hands.

(Nevernight City)

Clan Leader Nie,

it has been a while.

I never expected that there would

come a day where you would be in such a pitiful state too.

This is my first time seeing him like this too.

Based on the timeline,

this should be the 23rd year of Xuanzheng.

When they lost the raid at Yangquan.

Get away from me!

Do you think you are still the ruler of Hejian?

Look carefully.

This is the Yanyang Hall.

What Yanyang Hall?

It's just the nest of a bunch of Wen dogs!

You...

You Wen dog,

kill us all if you dare!

Does anyone else have something to say?

You Wen dog...

Wen Ruohan killed Chifeng-zun's father,

right?

Mm.

Wen Ruohan tampered with the late Clan Leader Nie's saber.

When the late Clan Leader Nie went night hunting,

the saber shattered, and he died.

To force someone to kneel and kowtow before his father's murderer,

Jin Guangyao

is killing him by destroying his spirit.

Brother Mingjue.

Brother Mingjue.

The 23rd year of Xuanzheng,

Nie Mingjue was rescued.

And the Nie clan was recuperated.

Months later,

the four major clans led tens of thousands of cultivators to attack Nevernight City.

Clan Leader Nie and my brother

fought with Wen Ruohan for over three hundred rounds.

Meng Yao waited for an opportunity and stabbed Wen Ruohan,

killing him at Yanyang Hall.

You won't get away

this time!

Yao!

Brother Mingjue,

Yao had no choice.

He became the Wen dogs' fangs and claws

and gave succor to the enemy!

And you're telling me he had no choice?

Out of my way!

Brother Mingjue!

Do you know who risked rescuing you from Nevernight City?

All right then.

After I kill him,

I'll take my own life!

Xichen!

Brother Mingjue,

You wanted to know

who had been secretly sending us intel for the past year, didn't you?

After the incident at Langya,

Yao had regretted what he did

and found a way to infiltrate Qishan

and got close to Wen Ruohan.

He did that to atone for his mistakes.

To atone for his mistakes?

For the past year, you have killed countless men and allies

of ours as you did that day.

I was pretending to be one of Wen Ruohan's aides.

How could I not do anything

when you're insulted?

I know that I carry grave sins.

That day at the Yanyang Hall,

I had no choice but to do what I did.

But I am truly sorry for that.

Today, I was able to kill Wen Ruohan

together with the help of Clan Leader Nie and Zewu-jun,

and to restore peace for civilians.

My wish has been fulfilled.

Clan Leader Nie.

Do as you wish.

Brother Mingjue!

In the end, Chifeng-zun's saber

never landed.

In this battle, Jin Guangyao's reputation soared.

He returned to Jinlintai.

The three of them became the Venerated Triad,

and their feud eased.

But in less than four years,

Nie Mingjue qi deviated and died a bloody death.

I'm sure there's more to it than that.

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?
