(Episode 16)

Even sparrows can soar in the sky freely.

But I'm trapped here in this tiny area.

Are you still worried about the incident at Tianmu Peak that day?

How can I not worry?

Dozens of disciples from Canglei Hall

left Danxia Realm to look for our master.

But I'm the only one

trapped in this Fallen Sakura Forest.

On the surface, I'm sent here to reflect on my mistakes.

But in truth, I'm imprisoned here.

Immortal Long Yuan misunderstood you.

You didn't know about the Four Spirits Grandmistress.

Misunderstood me?

My daughter colluded with the Four Spirits Grandmistress.

But I knew nothing about it.

Would anyone

believe me if I said that?

Maybe others will misunderstand you.

But the Venerable Grandmaster is an Ancient God.

He has lived a long time. He has seen people from all walks of life.

When he returns,

I'm sure he can prove your innocence.

When dark ink is merged with clear water,

it'll become muddled.

It's not that easy to discover the truth.

You cast magic to enter my dream.

What do you want?

Ling Er, are you still mad at me?

You think too much.

This is not the first time I've seen your selfishness and indifference.

Why will I be mad at you?

You always say that I'm selfish.

But when have you ever been honest with me?

I don't even know

if you are the pampered and bossy

but still honest and upright Ling Er

or the pretentious Immortal Fan

who has long lost her true self.

Is it because I'm too good at disguising myself

or is it because you care too little about me?

That's why you didn't realize that I've changed.

When did you turn to the Four Spirits Grandmistress?

I didn't turn to her.

I've always been on her side.

So, you were just lying when you said that you loved

the Venerable Grandmaster.

Yes. I expressed my love for Bai Jiu Si

to make it convenient for me to carry out my plan.

You pretended to love the Venerable Grandmaster

so that you can become a better scalpel for the Four Spirits Grandmistress.

I attacked Grandmistress the first time

to help her get to the Frozen Pool

and retrieve White Snake's soul.

I attacked her the second time

to help her work with Hong Lian to injure Bai Jiu Si severely

and retake the Scarlet Flame Spell.

That way, I could also enter the Abyss

to resurrect White Snake.

So, you already colluded with Four Spirits Grandmistress

since the day she arrived in Nine Heavens.

No.

It was even earlier than that.

Otherwise, your plan couldn't be this meticulous.

When did you first meet her?

Three hundred years ago.

I brought my mother to the King of Medicine Valley to get treated.

I accidentally fell off a cliff.

At that time,

I met Four Spirits Grandmistress.

Am I dead?

(No.)

(I saved you.)

Who is talking to me?

Sunseeker is the sword of Four Spirits.

No wonder.

No wonder after that day,

you became so talented in weapon crafting

and became the best in our tribe.

You gave Sunseeker to me

so that Venerable Grandmaster would accept me as his disciple.

It was all part of Four Spirits Grandmistress's plan.

Why would you go so far

to help Four Spirits Grandmistress?

Do you still remember my mother?

Do you still remember

which wife is she?

She is your eighth wife.

You were with her for just three months.

Then you married your ninth wife.

My mother is just an ordinary person.

She doesn't have a powerful family to back her up.

She can't wield magic.

Everyone looks down on her in the residence.

But you

have never truly cared for her.

You are always like this.

You are so passionate when you love someone.

But when the love is lost, you'll just abandon that person.

To you,

my mother is just one of your many wives

who is no different from the other women in your harem.

But to her,

you are her only husband.

She is an ordinary woman.

Like other ordinary women, she has jealousy

and heartaches too.

So, when you married your 11th wife,

she fell sick due to her depression.

How is that related to this?

In the end,

her life

means

nothing to you.

Ling Er, I am worried about you.

Worried about me?

You are just worried that you'll get implicated by me.

Just like how you don't care about my mother.

In the end, the Grandmistress saved her.

She's just using you to help her with her revenge.

You are a smart woman. Can't you tell?

Isn't it good

that I can be used by her?

You have many wives.

And I have many siblings.

You are the master of the family.

But I'm just like an ant in our family.

When I was young,

my favorite thing to do

was to wait outside the door

for you to pass by once in a while

and call me by my name

with a smile.

It was enough to make me happy for a few days.

Ling Er, I...

But I've had enough of this rare fatherly love from you.

If the Grandmistress didn't save my mother,

she would've died with a broken heart.

I'm lucky

to be used by the Grandmistress.

Listen to me.

Canglei Hall has a godly presence in Nine Heavens.

It's not a power that we Jingyun Sect can go against.

So, if you can come back now, I can still...

I'll choose

how I want to live my life.

You...

Immortal Fan.

Immortal Fan, are you free?

Immortal Fan.

Immortal...

Why are you looking for me?

Do you know where Qing Yue is?

No.

Really?

You are being hunted

by Canglei Hall by taking Qing Yue's side.

It means that your life is tied to Qing Yue.

But you are abnormally calm right now.

As if you are not worried about where she is.

There are only two possibilities.

First, you already know how to settle the issue with Canglei Hall.

Second,

you already know where Qing Yue is. Am I right?

Will Grandmistress come back if I panic?

Why do you care so much about her?

Love and hatred come hand-in-hand.

Since the day I met her,

she has only one person in her heart.

No other men

can get into her heart even if they die trying.

What do you mean?

Love is a troublesome thing.

I'm advising you to pull yourself out of it.

Don't fall so deep until you hurt yourself and others.

I'll know if it's troublesome after I try.

Shangguan?

Meng Chu.

Why are you here?

Our Sect Leader has ordered me to free you.

Free me?

- Why? - I don't know.

You better ask the Sect Leader yourself.

Master.

You are here.

Master, I have a question.

I know what you want to say.

But

it's a long story.

Back then, it wasn't my intention

to separate the two of you.

We just needed a reasonable excuse urgently

to make the Grandmistress's life hang on by a thread

to lure Venerable Grandmaster into the Mortal Realm.

I've wronged you in this matter.

But from now on, the two of you can finally be together.

The world is vast. You can live freely.

Master.

Do you not oppose us being together anymore?

Why should I?

Qu Xing Man is kind and beautiful.

She's a good match for you.

After you leave, go and find her at once.

Go and find Martial Uncle Dan Yang

to get some elixirs and weapons too.

Give them to her as gifts.

But she's from the demon clan.

So what?

She can't choose where she was born.

As long as she doesn't kill the innocent and do evil,

she's on the right path if she does well.

We can't

judge people based on their origin.

We can't be biased against others.

Understand?

Master.

I understand.

Go now.

Meng Chu.

Have you returned after meeting the Sect Leader?

You must be surprised.

How should I put it?

I suddenly feel empty inside.

Slowly get used to it.

What are you doing?

Isn't it obvious? I'm sweeping the floor.

You are one of the core disciples. Why are you doing this?

Those in charge of sweeping the floor and cooking

are nascent cultivators.

They are halfway to becoming immortals.

They are over 200 years old.

And their swordsmanship is superb.

They can single-handedly defeat 10 of us.

Other disciples have gone to the Grandmistress.

I'm talking about Qing Yue.

Our sect is short on people now.

You can go to the kitchen to help Jiang Bian cook

or give him a hand.

Just find anything to do.

Move aside.

Move aside.

If you really understand Grandmistress,

you won't worry about her.

She has never been

the cowardly and aloof Li Qing Yue from Jingyun Sect.

She is Four Spirits Grandmistress

who is powerful even among the Gods and Goddesses.

She survived even when

her soul left her body and wandered in the Mortal Realm for 300 years.

This is just a minor issue. She'll be able to resolve it.

I believe that can resolve the issue.

But the longer it takes to find her,

the more she'll have to suffer.

All sufferings

are opportunities for her.

What opportunities?

Opportunities to kill Bai Jiu Si.

The Heavenbreaker Seal and the Void are broken.

But we still haven't found a trace of Grandmaster.

I've summoned all of you here today

to help me cast a formation

to find Grandmaster.

We will do our best to help!

Lend me your power.

Roger that!

It's cold at night.

Where are you going instead of resting in your room?

Yue,

I'm talking to you.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just want to talk to you.

There's nothing for us to talk about.

Past events,

what's right and what's wrong.

There are many things to talk about.

Such grandiose.

What do you want to talk about?

Four hundred and ten years ago,

I sealed your spiritual power,

abandoned you and returned to the celestial realm.

Do you still hate me for it?

What do you think?

After your power was restored,

you pretended to marry me.

On the day of our wedding,

you stabbed my heart with the Frostscale Dagger

and suppressed me for a century.

Yue,

is this century of pain

not enough to make up for your 10 years of suffering in the Mortal Realm?

It's about how badly you suffer.

It's not about the length of time.

Okay. Then I want to know

how deeply you hate me

until you looted all those weapons and elixirs

and attacked the caves of those celestial tribes after sealing me up.

You went against the rules

and caused Gods and humans to resent you.

I haven't seen Gods or humans resenting me.

But there are many immortals who want to kill me.

You know that I've never thought about killing you.

I attacked Tianmu Peak

because I wanted an explanation.

But you destroyed your own body,

forcing your soul to leave your body.

I didn't attack you.

Even if you didn't attack me,

you deserved to die.

I deserved to die?

Do you think that everything you did in the past was right?

All effect has its cause.

All retribution is caused by karma.

The severe drought in the Mortal Realm

was caused by the Drought Dragon.

But think about it.

The Mortal Realm is vast with plenty of lands.

Why did the Drought Dragon choose Mount Wuju as its lair?

Because Mount Wuju

was its birthplace.

It was born and raised there.

But humans dug through the mountain and cut off the trees and rivers.

They hunted and killed the living creatures on Mount Wuju.

From then on,

plants on Mount Wuju withered and all the living creatures perished.

It became barren.

So, the Drought Dragon had to leave

and find another place to live in.

You are compassionate.

You killed the Drought Dragon to save the mortals.

You pity the loss of human lives.

But what about those living creatures on Mount Wuju

that perished?

The cause and effect lies in oneself.

Even your blood relatives can't bear the consequences on your behalf.

The Drought Dragon couldn't represent the creatures on Mount Wuju.

Those mortals who died from the drought

were not the perpetrators either.

You are an immortal.

You look down on the world from above.

But you've never stepped in their shoes.

They had to bear the consequences

of something that they didn't cause.

For them, it was not a cycle of cause and effect.

But an undeserved catastrophe.

Things will always circle back to you. You reap what you sow.

In ancient times,

people ate raw meat, drank blood, and walked around naked.

Leizu discovered sericulture and Shennong invented agriculture.

From then on, humans have food to eat and clothes to wear.

Based on your concept of cause and effect,

why should they only enjoy the good effect and not the bad one?

If you want to talk about the law of nature and karma,

then let me tell you.

You say that the cycle of cause and effect is fixed.

We are immortals.

Are we in the same cycle?

Meng Qi served the Qichi Abode for decades.

Meng Chi dedicated his whole life to me.

Meng Chang Qin was once my disciple.

I accepted the offerings from the mortals. That was the cause.

And I killed the Drought Dragon to protect the people.

That was the effect.

I followed the cycle of cause and effect that you mentioned.

So, why are you right while I'm wrong?

You are an immortal.

Your cycle of cause and effect shouldn't be tied to humans.

You must have forgotten.

At the foot of Mount Yufan 11 years ago,

the real Li Qing Yue had passed away.

I used my soul to enter her body.

From that moment onward, I became a mortal.

What about you, Venerable Grandmaster?

Why is your cycle of cause and effect

still tied to mine until now?

I thought

that you knew.

Bai Jiu Si,

have you ever tasted the suffering of the mortal world?

You have never experienced their hardships.

You have no right to discuss this with me.

Back then, you sealed off 10 years of my power.

Today, I want to make a 10-year deal with you

to see what's right and what's wrong.

You do dare?

Why not?

Good.

Don't regret it.

- Martial Senior. - Martial Senior.

Martial Senior, have you found Grandmaster?

There's an abnormal celestial phenomenon pointing to the east.

I wanted to use Soul Tracker to track it to the east.

But I was blocked by a huge wave of water.

Blocked by a huge wave of water?

What do you mean?

It was misty and biting cold.

I think Grandmaster

is in water.

What should we do?

Inform the dragon tribe in the Four Seas

and ask them to deploy their Sea Army

to look for Grandmaster.

We can't let Four Spirits Grandmistress's underlings find him first.

Pu Yuan,

inform all the disciples in Canglei Hall

to head east and stop when they run into water.

Search carefully.

Don't miss any nooks and crannies.

Don't worry, I'll get it done right now.

Elder.

Elder, Canglei Hall has made a move.

- Where are they heading? - To the east.

But we don't know where they are heading exactly.

Inform our disciples to head east.

We have to find the Grandmistress before Canglei Hall can.

Yes, Elder.

Martial Uncle.

Qing Yue was once my disciple.

Although she hid a lot of things from me in the past,

now that it has come to this,

I plead with you to let me look for her together.

Alright.

Be careful.

Yes, Martial Uncle.

(After your power is sealed off,)

(you have to live here for 10 years as a mortal.)

(No matter what you face in 10 years,)

(you can't simply use your power.)

(If you break the rule, your power will backfire on you.)

(If you are lucky, your core will be damaged and you'll lose all senses.)

(Otherwise, your spirit will be destroyed and you'll be gone forever.)

(Okay.)

(I'll wait for you to show me the hardships of the Mortal Realm.)

So,

am I a mortal now?

Where are the hardships that you talked about?

We have plenty of time. You'll experience them yourself.

Since we are mortals,

we need identities.

If someone asks me about our relationship,

how should I answer?

How about

we live as

husband and wife?

Up to you.

I don't understand mortals.

You are awake.

Come and drink some tea.

What are you doing?

I read a book last night

named "Classic of Houses."

The book makes sense.

According to the book, the house itself is the body.

And water is blood.

The land is the skin and the plants inside are the hair.

The outhouse represents clothes and the door is your hat and belt.

If you take good care of your house, it'll bring you luck.

Look at the fengshui and layout of this courtyard.

Compared to the Qichi Abode

I built for you 400 years ago,

this is absolutely terrible.

Do you want to build another Qichi Abode?

Not necessarily.

I'm just renovating the place slightly.

Come here.

I plan to add two more flower stands here.

We can plant something on the stands.

Then we'll raise some fish in this pond.

We'll repaint

and decorate the entire yard.

You love cooking, right?

I plan to renovate this kitchen too.

What do you think?

Master.

No woman loves working in the kitchen to cook for others.

If you want to please your wife,

you have to cook with her.

Not build a kitchen for her.

Pack things up.

We are leaving. Get down.

Sir.

Are you done?

Master, we can finish the rest tomorrow.

We'll be leaving for today.

- Be careful. - Let's go.

Let's go.

You must be our new neighbor.

I'm Lin Fan. I live next door.

My wife made some pastries.

So, I brought them over for you to try.

Thank you.

But no thanks.

You don't have to be shy.

Look at how hungry you are. Take it.

Hungry?

We'll be neighbors after this.

How should I address you?

Bai Jiu Si.

Bai Jiu Si?

I'll put this here for you.

It's okay.

Remember to eat the pastries, Mr. Bai.

Bye.

Remember to eat them.

You are back.

What are you cooking for today?

It smells so nice.

Let me help you.

I'll bring them to the table.

Where's mine?

You want to experience the hardships of the Mortal Realm, right?

Then you have to be self-sufficient.

I...

Thanks for coming.

What would you like to eat?

Just cook me something to eat.

Wait for a while. Your food will be ready soon.

Scholar Kong,

you look way more haggard than before.

You can't just eat biscuits dipped in water.

You need to eat something good once in a while.

I just need to fill my stomach.

Yes.

Scholar Kong is being frugal to get ready for the exam.

You study so hard.

I'm sure you can pass the exam this year.

Thank you for your kind words.

We'll get going now. We'll let you get back to your studies.

See you later. Bye.

Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, how do you do?

Eat well. We'll get going now.

Thank you.

Be careful.

Mr. Lin, you are here.

- Mr. Lin. - Mr. Lin.

Enjoy your food and drinks.

Mr. Lin.

You are here again.

Yes. Give me the usual.

Right away.

- Please come in. - Let's go.

Uncle Kong, you are here too.

You are here, Mr. Lin.

- Have a seat. - Mr. Bai.

Honey.

He's our neighbor who I mentioned to you about.

He's Mr. Bai.

She is my wife.

Everyone.

He is our new neighbor.

Please take good care of him.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Mr. Bai,

I hear that you are living with your wife.

Why are you eating outside alone?

Did you get into a fight with her?

You must be wrong.

You are a man.

You need to give in to your wife.

How about I teach you some tricks?

No matter how big of a mistake you make,

I promise you that you can please her.

Please her?

Look carefully.

Have a seat.

Here.

Come on.

Mr. Bai.

Just like this.

You need to care for your wife at all times.

Then she won't be mad at you.

Here.

I brought some food back.

Let's eat.
