Episode 26

Your Majesty, Princess is here.

Let her in.

Greetings, Father.

- Greetings, State Preceptor.
- Your Highness.

Yu'er, you came in time.

See this chess game between
State Preceptor and me.

Who might triumph?

In this game, Father
has great foresight

and a precise layout.
But State Preceptor

could make a comeback
and claim victory.

Could I really lose?

With Princess here,
this game might

take an unexpected
hopeful turn.

Yu'er. You've come
because of Hunyuan?

You're perceptive.
Hunyuan...

I knew that rascal

won't bear army discipline.

Let's stop embarrassing ourselves.

If he missteps, that's when

the Court would mock us.

Let him stay with you
for now.

Yes.

That rascal is too rebellious.

Previously he injured
his reading partner.

Now all Officials

refuse to let their children
study with him.

However, we need someone
reliable to watch over him.

Otherwise, I won't be at ease.

Your Majesty.

Mingchi gets on well
with 3rd Prince.

South Gate has no matters.

Why not let Mingchi
accompany Third Prince?

Good idea. Mingchi is reliable.

If he's with Hunyuan,
I'll be at ease.

Mingchi, come here.

I make you Prince's Tutor.

Take time to visit Princess's
Residence to teach Hunyuan.

Mingchi, won't you say thanks?

Mingchi gives thanks.

I'll put in effort
to teach Third Prince.

Rise.

Preceptor, we'll stop
this game today.

We'll play again.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why did I lose?

Would God really
abandon his own child

and let a nobody beat me

to reach Second Floor.

Could it be...

Could Ning Que,
that border soldier,

have earned God's favour?

No way. Absolutely no way.

Please tell me

why I lost?

Know how long I've
been locked up here?

Fifteen years.

This prison was crafted
by Hierarch.

No-one can break it.

Then do you wish to be
jailed here for life?

There must be a way!

Do you know the meaning of
being locked in this Pavilion?

God established Xiling
in Peach Mountain.

Don't know how many years

but criminals locked
in Serene Pavilion

have never been able to escape.

You, Grand Priest, once
represented the Light

in Xiling leadership.

Your Scripture knowledge is
peerless; you're the purest.

I fear the world forgot
the name of Wei Guangming.

They need not remember;
they've never forgotten.

You're intelligent.

You received God's love.

Yet you lost to a nameless brat.

Just now, you asked me
why you lost.

You lost

in fear of endless night–

Not beaten by Ning Que

but by your fear of Ever Night.

Ever Night?

Ever Night is nearing.

I can't be caged any longer.

What do you aim to do?

Leave.

Leave? You know this confinement

was designed by Hierarch.

No-one can leave here!

Child of Hades still lives!

Fu Zi.

He came out.

Hierarch, Wei Guangming
broke out

from Serene Pavilion
and went towards Tang.

I knew, all these years,

his obsession remained.

It's the same issue?

He waited 15 years for today.

Send men to retrieve him?

No need to bring him back.

Leave that troublemaker
to Tang Empire.

Let him create hardship
in Tang,

that godless nation,

after too quiet years.

Hierarch is wise, but how
can they handle him.

He'll die this time.

Tang Empire people
won't let him go.

Heck! I see a ghost.

You see ghosts?

You look like a ghost now.

Two guys play chess till
they're like hungry ghosts.

Two are like musical ghosts,
insisting I listen.

One 'ghost' asks me rot.

And you're disloyally

- fishing.
- Fish, fish...

You scared off the fish.
What will I eat?

I know you suffer. I suffered
for years before fishing here.

What bother made you like this?

I'm studying Dao of Symbols
with Yan Se.

After long study,
I can't grasp it.

Dao of Symbols is
really difficult.

Did you try 8-character
technique?

I did.

I just can't get through.

Maybe there's no door

or I don't have what it takes.

In despair? Wanna give up?

Very soon.

You scared off my fish.
I'll take you to meet someone.

Where? Who'll we see?

Don't let 11th Senior-Bro
hear such questions.

Senior Brother.
Xiling just sent a message.

Wei Guangming escaped
from Serene Pavilion.

He's headed to the capital.

Do you know why he's
heading this way?

Ever Night approaches.

Is he still seeking
the Shadow of Darkness?

Those words will cause
the capital great unrest.

Not only the capital
but the whole world.

This is Hierarch's letter
berating us.

Serene Pavilion's restricted prison
was created by Hierarch.

His prisoner fled and
he berates us? How interesting.

Hierarch already sent
Xiling Cultivators

to Tang border.
If His Majesty agrees,

they'll aid us to seize
Wei Guangming.

Aid us? Did we say
we'd pursue the prisoner?

15 years ago, Wei Guangming
caused bloodshed.

This time, who knows what ruckus
he'll make in the capital.

I'll ask His Majesty
to send troops.

Slow down, slow down...

I fear Hierarch thinks
Guangming is too slow.

He sent pursuers to insert
them into the capital.

Senior, what do you mean?

If Hierarch wanted Guangming,

why wait till he passed the border.

This is "borrowing
another's sword to kill".

Wei Guangming didn't die after
over a decade of confinement.

He got stronger and walked out
of Serene Pavilion.

I ask you, who's capable
of handling him?

What do you intend?

When you see him...let him go.

Seems you have
selfish motives.

I know you and he are
the previous Hierarch's

Disciples who were close.

But this concerns Tang Empire.

Since this is hard for you,

Leave this to me as
Tang State Preceptor.

If I have a selfish motive,

it's because of you.

Do you know Guangming has

a strength vast
and unparalleled.

Regarding Cultivation,

even Hierarch doesn't
seem to be stronger.

Then what to do?

You're still chubby walking
this path everyday, huh?

You're still skinny
walking so slow?!

I tell you, the one
I'm taking you to see...

He's really obsessed
with a matter.

You'll get insight.

- I'll grasp Talismans?
- Kinda.

Hurry, hurry.

Greetings, Old Scholar.

Go, go, go. I've no time
to chit-chat.

What's he doing?

He is reading.

Reading?

How's reading relate to me?

- Fu Zi met Old Scholar some decades ago.
- Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Fu Zi invited him to Cultivate,
but he refused.

He thinks reading
is most meaningful.

Cultivating wastes his time.

Study made him odd?

What? 2nd-Senior said
study made him stupid.

So you brought me
to see this fool.

Is it to point out
I study foolishly?

You fear I'll turn
into an idiot, right?

You're correct.

Old Scholar, I brought
new Junior Bro to see you.

I'm not a book. What's to see?

Please don't waste time,
delaying your study.

Ever since Fu Zi founded the Academy,
it collected books.

You can say 70% of the world's
books are at the Academy.

It's why Fu Zi had 3rd-Senior Sis
guard Old Library.

Thirteenth!

Books are the Academy's
biggest asset.

Since books were collected
from the start,

none deteriorated?

And there's no dust.

As you progress, it's simple.

If your finger

moves thus,

- wind helps you achieve this.
- Wind (feng)?

Feng* is here.
(wind/apex)

[Yuan Yang/loving couple]

Erotica isn't worthy.
Why store it?

Fu Zi said, "reading
is profitable".

With bad thoughts,
all you touch is bad.

With wicked thoughts,
Scripture confuses you.

Actually, Xiling has
a Hidden Books Library.

I always went there.

After much reading,
I understood–

reading, and enjoying reading,
differ.

Cultivating, and enjoying
Cultivating, differ.

Got it?

Old Scholar, you shouldn't
keep reading. Watch your health.

I forget at what age I entered
the mountain to study.

But I recall at age 20,

I thought I'd be able to read
all the world's books.

But on turning 50, I realized

that's impossible.

Age slows one's body
and reading.

Scarily,

I've forgotten many books
read in my youth.

Old Scholar.

So wasn't reading them
pointless?

I suddenly once thought,

it's impossible to read
every single book.

I felt my world collapse then.

I didn't want to eat

or sleep. In the end,

I didn't want to read.

How'd you get through?

I asked myself–
Do I like reading

or want to read all books?

- The answer...
- Of course, it's this.

I like reading.

I was 70 this year.

From now, I might
never wake again

on any given day.

But while I'm alive,
I'll keep reading.

This contents me.

You disturbed me!

- Go, go, go. Hurry off.
- Ning Que.

See you again.

After entering the Academy, I

- learned about obsession (chi).
- 'Chi'.

- Eating (chi) is-
- Not that chi! - Chi...

Obsession (chi) is a whim
made of nothing.

If you like something,

keep persevering.
Question yourself.

I already did.
It's what I like.

- Pipi greets 9th and 10th Bros.
- Ning Que greets 9th and 10th Bros.

You didn't nod to
this tune yesterday.

The song must be wrong.

We worked all night

and changed three bars.

We're satisfied,
but we wrote it.

May we trouble you to
review the tune for us,

please, Little Bro.

Seniors, forgive me for
not listening today.

Why not listen? Old Five wants
a chess game? Or Old 11's debating you?

Little Bro, don't fret.
We'll handle it for you.

Hey! Don't you all know
Little Bro's time is precious?

Little Bro would prefer chess.

Yes. Little Bro, come learn.

Little Bro will debate with me.

I think fixing Cloud Mist Array
takes precedence.

Today, for me, no music, no chess,
no sewing, no debating.

- Then what?
- I'll go home and sleep.

You looked happy listening.

It was to satisfy you.
I was unhappy.

Then why nod your head
to the music?

- I wanted to sleep.
- Why sleep?

Because I disliked it!

So Little Bro dislikes flute.

So Little Bro dislikes
zither playing.

- So Little Bro dislikes us.
- So Little Bro dislikes us.

Sorry, Seniors.
I'll go after him.

Ning Que, if you dislike
their music,

don't say it outright.

On Rear Mountain,
I should be honest.

Don't hurt their feelings.

No music if you don't want.

2nd-Senior Bro.

Openness and honesty is
a gentleman's character.

Little Bro has a gentleman's
nobility. All of you, learn from it.

And, from today, no-one

may disturb Little Bro's
Cultivation.

Otherwise, you'll face our Rules.

Yes, 2nd-Senior Bro.

2nd-Senior, for Great Cloud
Mist's overhaul,

7th-Senior Sister needs Ning Que.
You see...

Cloud Mist Array isn't fixed yet.

That's a bit troublesome. But,

Little Bro was recently admitted.
When would he have such time?

Pipi, you worked on that Array
with 7th-Senior Sister.

Since you've the experience,
do it again this year.

Little Bro, come with me.

Can't be like this.
2nd-Senior Bro!

- 10,000.
- 5,000. Plus 5,000.

Dewdrop, I'm tired
from counting money.

Who tires of counting money?

- Which is mine?
- This is Jian Daijia's.

This is Dewdrop's.

This is Sang Sang's.
This is mine.

We made so much selling
'Chicken Soup Note' copies.

Take these to Jian Daijia
and Sang Sang.

Alright. Thanks, Dewdrop.

Hurry.

I used to be able to...

Hey. You're here.

Wait, wait. What's that smell?

What smell?

Something smells?

Something smells?

Why's your room smell more
of ink than powder?

Not here. Not here...

Here it is.

What's this?

Oh, so much cash. This–

It isn't all for me.

In that case, I'll–

Thanks, Grandmaster.

[Tang Academy]

Ning Que!

What?

Since you're Mister 13,
pay attention to your image.

Your Highness.

How many things have you
been hiding from me?

Lots. Which would you
like to know, Your Highness?

All of them.

A lot are boring matters
not worth your time.

With regards to time,
I am rich.

I'm inviting Mister 13
to my residence to chat.

Sang Sang is dull
at telling stories.

I want you to tell them to me.

Didn't Sang Sang tell you

Mister 13 is very busy lately?

This Tang princess is speaking
to you. Act with formality.

You plan to hire me again?

That's right.

My price won't be the same.

I'll offer you a price
you can't refuse.

Many things in this world
are resistible.

But you...are irresistible.

You're very beautiful.

But don't let it go to your head.

Useless!

Useless!

I feel there's a problem
with your method.

What problem?

Ning Que has potential.

But he just began
Dao of Symbols contact.

You're in a big rush to

teach him all you realized
and appreciated.

It's like splashing black ink

on a sheet of white paper.

You won't get refined
calligraphy this way.

Ning Que is the biggest piece
of white paper I've ever seen.

You, I, or neither of us,

may have experience or confidence
to draw on this white paper.

And what will be drawn finally

depends on his understanding
and perseverance.

Ning Que is like

a tea pot empty inside.

He just lifted the lid.
What if he can't bear it?

A cracked pot is useless.

I admit,

to fill his mind with all
I've comprehended

in my life, in a short time,

may burden him heavily.

But this is the fastest,
most effective method.

If this little teapot
doesn't break,

one day water will
spout out of it.

This is also the riskiest,
most unreliable method.

Ning Que is your Student

and Fu Zi's Disciple.

His Majesty has hopes of him.

I don't see why you're
rushing his training.

Clearly, safer, more
reliable methods exist.

Because he's anxious,
I'm anxious.

Seems the world is also anxious.

Ever Night is near.

I don't have much time left.

Senior Brother.

For now, don't blindly
run around.

Spend more time with me.

You're not a lovely young miss.
Why spend more time with you?

But don't fret.

Don't worry.

I'll talk to you properly

before I die.

2nd-Senior Bro,
I want to learn

Haoran Sword Skill.

You want to learn Haoran Sword?

You must start with the basics.

Then I've much to learn from you.

Mm.

Flying Sword uses Psychic Power
to control Primordial Qi.

The degree of Psychic Power
the Sword Expert can use

controls the sword's
intensity. And

the sword's intensity dictates

how finely the sword flies.

You're in Doubtless Realm.

Imagine the Primordial Qi

as an invisible cord
in your hand.

A cord long enough
and strong enough

can lead the sword
to fly farther.

Don't worry it can break away.

Haoran Sword

takes the straight path,
rather than go wrong.

Moral heart, firm intent;
no hesitation, no defeat.

Little Bro, have you memorised
Haoran Sword principle?

It takes the straight path,
rather than go wrong.

Moral heart, firm intent;
no hesitation, no defeat.

Thanks, 2nd-Senior Bro.

Let's go.

2nd-Senior will teach
Haoran Sword to Little Bro.

What's to learn?

Right. It has no beauty.
What's it do but kill?

Better to learn flute.

Why not battle strategy?

How about smithing with me?

But learning Flying Sword
with 2nd-Senior

is the wrong direction.

How about debating.

Don't all argue.
Why not take a look?

Do you recall the principle?

I remember.

How was it?

Wasn't it great?

To be described as flying,

this sword would feel shame.

Can you earn me merit?

The Seniors are watching.

Try again. I must fly you.

[Ever Night]

~Hey, I can only say sorry~

~You, who've forgotten time,
look a bit lost~

~You seem faraway, in front of me~

~Time blinks by~

~Take it easy~

~Life is still the same~

~Hey, let me change the ending~

~Yet I can cover it up
only a short while~

~Don't obsess or say sorry~

~Loser just treats winner~

~Better not meet rather
than cry on parting~

~Night is long and dark~

~Don't leave regrets~

~I've seen right, wrong, gratitude,
grudges, words, acts~

~I risk danger, desperate for you~

~Umbrella in old Chang'an~

~Night nears; talismans burn~

~Fight till all is gone
in chaos and darkness~

~See us blaze through darkness,
changing Heaven and Earth~

~Spur the horses forward~

~Geese fly south before snow~

~Get drunk at a warm coast~

~Under slashes of the sword,
we love each other still~

we love each other still~
