=Episode 4=

I don't want to negotiate.

I want you to surrender!

(Luocheng)

It seems it's not up to you to decide.

Tell the commanding officer.

You want to see him in person?

Very well.

I'll take your head to him right away!

If you won't relay my words,

I'll do it myself.

I, Yu Wuyuan,

seek an audience with the Commander of Shangzhou army.

I, Yu Wuyuan,

seek an audience with the Commander of Shangzhou army.

As in The Finest Gentry, Mr. Yu?

Unfortunately,

I haven't had the chance to meet him.

If

I had to befriend one person in this world,

it would be him.

It would be him?

Never have I

heard something preposterous like this.

Thanks to your lofty status,

of course, you have never heard,

Prince Huang.

How do you know

I'm Huang Chao?

I don't mean to brag

but after many years in the martial arts world,

not many can stand toe to toe against me.

Let me count.

Not more than five of them.

You exude a regal aura.

Recognizing you is not a challenge.

Besides,

you're escorted by General Saoxue,

Xiao Xuekong.

Your little brother was behaving suspiciously

and I thought he was an assassin.

Pardon my insolence.

This brat sullied my attire with dust.

I wanted to teach him a good spanking

but he is more agile than a bunny.

He deserved a small fright.

Since it's just a misunderstanding,

no hard feelings, General Saoxue.

You have found out

our identities

but yours remains hidden from us.

I suppose my identification skill

is far inferior.

There aren't a lot of powerful female fighters out there.

The best among them is Bai Fengxi.

And then, it's Princess Xiyun

and Qiu Jiushuang.

Jiushuang is my subordinate.

As for Bai Fengxi,

I have never met her

but I heard she loves plain white robes

and is as beautiful as she is lethal.

You...

Definitely, I'm not the beautiful and lethal

Bai Fengxi.

If you can rinse your face

and let me have a proper look at you...

I guess I'd better take a bath

on top of rinsing my face.

Are you going to tail me

just to have a proper look at me?

I am willing to heat the water

and serve you towels.

How about you? Calling it quits now?

Not necessarily.

Having a prince serve me?

Even His Majesty in his gilded hall

does not have this privilege,

let alone a commoner like me.

I can't accept it.

Then,

I shall turn these mountains into a lake one day.

And then,

I will invite you

for a soothing bath.

Sure.

Deal.

Deal.

I'm hungry.

Treat me to a meal.

Here, please.

Let's go.

Greetings, Mr. Yu. I'm Fan Shiji of Shangzhou.

Greetings, Commander Fan.

(Shangzhou Army Commander, Fan Shiji) How may I help?

I have a favor to ask.

Please let peace return to this world.

You're the so-called Finest Gentry.

(Luocheng) Finest

indeed.

At the moment,

it's but a matter of time before Shangzhou claims this city.

You think one sentence is enough

to persuade me to retreat?

You might be the Yu Wuyuan

but don't be ridiculous.

The Imperial Family lost the token

but they are still the Imperial Family.

Revolting now

is an act of treason.

A siege right now

will uproot countless commoners

and hurt the innocents.

That's an act of cruelty.

(Luocheng) This war from you, Commander Fan,

is a war of treason and cruelty.

There is no right or wrong in a war.

Heed my advice, Commander Fan.

All Six States

have their own agenda.

If you

insist on waging this war of cruelty and treason,

you give the other States

a reason to invade Shangzhou.

Shangzhou is an affluent state

but it doesn't have the strongest military among all States.

If the other States decide to invade...

I'm sure you can picture

the consequences

very well, Commander Fan.

I concur, Mr. Yu.

However, I merely follow an order.

So you want

an excuse.

Luocheng is situated at the intersection of three States.

All Shangzhou merchants

have to go through here.

If you can retreat now, Commander Fan,

I will convince the governor

to exempt

the taxes on Shangzhou.

Can I believe in your words?

Definitely.

Good.

I will return to the encampment

and deliver this news

to my lord as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Retreat!

One sentence to stop a war.

As expected from Mr. Yu.

Thank you.

I want this roasted duck.

Sharing is caring, okay?

I'll have it first.

No.

Move your dirty paws.

This is a pot of Drunken Rouge!

What's a Drunken Rouge?

Is this Drunken Rouge?

It is.

One thousand pieces of gold for a pot.

Not bad.

Pu.

Let's wash our hands.

You...

The rest is for you.

Tasty.

Pu.

Pack up these leftovers.

I hope

you don't mind the rushed meal.

Prince Huang,

you treated my brother and me to a feast.

I have to pay up, of course.

This is for you.

However, a certain black foxy

said it might be a counterfeit.

Find out

yourself then.

Pu, are you done?

See you.

Have a safe journey.

What a pity to have wasted the pot of Drunken Rouge.

Yingzhou's blade.

It's her.

She is Bai Fengxi.

Both of us

have been misled by "as beautiful as she is lethal".

We thought she would be an unparalleled beauty

but I wasn't prepared

to meet her like this.

No wonder she's the oddest woman in the world.

Your Highness,

do we return to Jizhou?

She said the token was a counterfeit.

We'll

need to corroborate with Wuyuan.

Let's head to the Tianshuang Sect first.

Why?

Miss Feng gave us this generous gift.

We shouldn't be indebted to her.

I'll deal

with her troubles.

(Shangzhou Encampment)

Greetings, Eunuch Liu.

(Shangzhou Eunuch, Eunuch Liu) Commander Fan,

(Shangzhou Eunuch, Eunuch Liu) why did you raise the truce flag?

Yu Wuyuan came

to negotiate today.

I have already penned the conditions

he agreed to

into a memorandum

and had it delivered to the capital of the state now.

I...

Are you afraid

of Yu Wuyuan?

His Lordship wanted you to claim the city.

A conquest

is unwise.

Do you know why

His Lordship sent me here to oversee the operation?

It's because

you had quite the pacifist approach

in the court meeting.

His Lordship sent me here

to make sure you claim the city.

Do you wish to defy the royal order?

Exceptions are tolerated during emergencies.

I will

answer to His Lordship myself

back in the imperial court.

You need not worry.

Back in the imperial court?

It seems like

you will not rescind your decision.

In that case,

you're not needed in the imperial court.

Someone!

Take Fan Shiji down!

How dare you?

Liu Changxiu.

Insolent!

Am I?

Well,

His Lordship

(Shangzhou) gave me this golden token.

I am here to restore the military order on behalf of His Lordship.

Fan Shiji malpracticed before a war.

Behead him to sacrifice to the flag.

Noted.

Let's go.

Liu Changxiu!

You're ruining our nation!

(Luocheng)

Impressive, Mr. Yu.

You solved this crisis

within a few words.

Bravo.

I merely follow my ancestors' teachings

and wish to avert unrest in this world.

Even though Commander Fan has raised the truce flag,

it's far from over yet.

Sir,

the Shangzhou army is laying siege to us.

What?

Mr. Yu...

Commander Fan may have been usurped.

In that case,

I wish to live and die with Luocheng.

The world can live without Luocheng

but the world can't live without you, Mr. Yu.

I wanted a truce.

But if a war breaks out,

I am confident that I can help Luocheng to win it.

(Dadong)

Let all of them

assume the Sancai Array.

All of you by the main gate, follow my orders.

Assume the Xuannang Array and buy us more time.

Yes, sir.

Sound the drums to boost the morale.

(Shang)

Help!

Help!

I'm here to save you.

To save me?

I don't understand.

If you attack right now,

the one being flanked is the Shangzhou army.

The Skyrider Cavalry of Jizhou is on their way.

They will be here in half a day.

Besides,

you do not stand a chance

against Yu Wuyuan at all.

Is this a threat?

A threat?

Who do you think you are?

You still have some use for me.

Otherwise, I'll leave you high and dry today.

Inform the Lord of Shangzhou.

If he starts a war,

the first state to fall will be Shangzhou.

Or,

before the zeal of war gets to his brain,

let me enter the royal palace of Shangzhou

to calm him down.

If not,

let me treat that rotten tooth of his.

How did you know

this secret illness of His Lordship?

I know a lot of things.

So what I said just now

was not an empty threat.

Remember

to relay my words to the Lord of Shangzhou.

Some people give in easily to greed.

I hope he isn't one.

You

too.

(Shang)

Retreat!

(Luocheng)

Greetings, Mr. Fengxi.

How do you know it's me?

Not many people

can saunter into an army

as you did.

It is an honor

to meet you, Mr. Yu.

I will wait for you in Sunset Restaurant tonight.

Sir, the Shangzhou army has retreated.

Did they?

A Mr. Fengxi appeared

and walked among the Shangzhou army.

And then, they withdrew.

Two of The Four Gentry have arrived.

God is on our side.

Make a public announcement.

Let's celebrate the whole night!

Thank you

for your intervention, Mr. Feng.

Even if I didn't help,

you could deal with it too, Mr. Yu.

After all, the Skyrider Cavalry was truly on the way.

Huang Chao will never let you take this risk.

That's why you were so composed.

Shangzhou would have lost the war.

Nothing

escapes the discerning eyes of Fountain Abode.

Everyone also knows that Prince Huang

regards you as his one-sentence tutor.

Shangzhou wanted to violate the accord

and laid waste to people's lives.

I

just don't want an unnecessary war

to take place.

Regardless of the outcome,

if lives have to be sacrificed,

it is a grave mistake.

How serendipitous!

I share the same thought.

Mr. Yu, shall we

enjoy the fine wine in Sunset Restaurant?

Rich

and refreshing.

Simply divine.

Judging from the decor of this restaurant,

I can tell the owner

finds elegance in simplicity,

sophistication in banality.

I haven't seen a masterwork like this in a long while.

As the setting sun lights this room

and the cranes' cry fills the sky,

a Jiangnan wanderer

gazes upon his blade.

He hits the railings repeatedly.

No one knows

the emotion he feels in the room.

I wonder what the owner was feeling

when he saw this restaurant

slowly come into being.

Perhaps he infused his unshared sentiments

into this building.

But Mr. Yu, you do have

a confidant, don't you?

I

am not a sentimental person.

I definitely do not share a poet's sensitivity.

What a shame.

(Peace and Harmony)

Sir, a missive.

What good news

did Prince Huang give you?

You were so engrossed.

Mr. Feng, how do you know

it's from Prince Huang?

(Peace and Harmony)

Silk paper is exclusive to the royal family of Jizhou.

A commoner will not use it to compose a missive.

There are two good and one bad news in the missive.

The bad news

is about the death of Yan Yingzhou.

One of the good news

should be

about the Empyrean Token.

Yingzhou sacrificed himself to protect the token.

How selfless.

As for the other good news.

It's Bai Fengxi.

Prince Huang said he met Heroine Fengxi on the mountain

outside of Tianshuang Sect.

She gave him

the Empyrean Token.

He also

commended

her beauty.

Only she can get such a compliment

from

Prince Huang, I reckon.

Why is running into her good news?

In my humble opinion,

meeting

the other half of Hei-Bai Fengxi,

Heroine Fengxi,

is also worthy of a celebration.

The way I see it,

meeting her has to be the worst thing to happen to me.

It's up to you

how you interpret it.

I still have to attend to something.

I will leave now.

May we dine together

another time,

Mr. Feng.

(Peace and Harmony)

(Stopping a war in Luocheng,)

(concerned about the world,)

(this Mr. Yu does not fail his reputation at all.)

(Huang Chao nabbed him to his side.)

(He's ambitious, isn't he?)

Bai Fengxi, you have finally returned.

Hand over the Empyrean Token.

Another group of token hunters.

I have delivered the token to Huang Chao

per Yan Yingzhou's request.

Nonsense.

We watch all Jizhou egresses closely.

You were never spotted.

Who said I went to Jizhou?

Can't Huang Chao walk?

He can travel around.

Who can testify

that you handed it to Huang Chao?

Me.

It's the Prince Huang Chao.

Gentlemen.

I have the Empyrean Token.

If you want to have it,

come at me.

He's calm and collected.

His Skyrider Cavalry must be nearby.

Right.

Since you have the token, Your Highness,

we'll take our leave then.

Farewell.

Farewell.

Thank you.

Within a day,

everyone will know.

I want everyone to know

that Jizhou has the Empyrean Token.

To keep troubles to the minimum,

I should head back now.

See you, Heroine Feng.

See you.

Let's go.

Feng.

Will Mr. Huang Chao be the next Emperor?

Emperor of a new dynasty?

Maybe

or maybe not.

But he speaks like one.

Martial Sister!

Guess, who is he?

Who?

Come.

Martial Sister, you're back.

How are you?

Good.

This is...

He's Han Pu.

Something bad happened to his family so I brought him here.

Taking someone in every day.

Are you the leader of the sect?

Why are you complaining this time?

You weren't when I brought

Jiurong here.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Forget it.

If Father didn't ask me to pick you up,

I wouldn't be here.

Right, my master.

Come.

Let's go.

If you don't come with me,

I don't know who to give this newly-bought rouge.

Wait, Martial Sister.

(Tianshuang Sect)

Master.

How are you?

My dear master.

Finally,

you're back.

Yes, I am.

Tianshuang Sect is my home.

Also,

aren't you waiting for me?

Your home? This is my home.

Langhua,

don't forget

that when I came here to be a disciple, you weren't even here.

Seniority matters.

Understood?

- Father, look at her. - Enough.

Stop bickering.

Langhua, ask the chefs to prepare more dishes.

Today, we celebrate your martial sister's return

and we shall have a feast!

Yes!

Noted.

Go now.

You saved Yan Yingzhou and protected the Empyrean Token.

Your news preceded your presence

this time.

Tell me everything.

Have a seat.

I'll tell you everything.

Come.

Apparently, the token is a counterfeit.

A counterfeit?

That's what Black Foxy said.

Oh,

I fought people from the Soultaker Sect too.

Soultaker Sect?

It is a mysterious sect.

Even the Fountain Abode

does not

have a complete grasp on them.

My encounter with them showed me

that there were many powerful foes there.

They are particularly adept in Longsword Formation, Six Ghost Formation,

and Octo-Ghost Soul Formation.

They are all lethal techniques.

The disciples of Soultaker Sect

are ruthless

to their foes

and to themselves

alike.

The sudden rise of Soultaker Sect

must be backed by something else.

When Black Foxy and I

were dismantling their branch in Yucheng,

we found a handkerchief.

It was embroidered with Locust and Cricket.

Black Foxy said they were two mythical beasts.

You sure it was embroidered with Locust and Cricket?

Yes.

Did that jog your memory?

I can't believe

they made a comeback.

Who?

The battle in the year of Chongde.

The Battle of Chongde?

Yes.

In the fifth year of Chongde,

a mysterious army

invaded the Imperial City out of a sudden.

No one knew where they came from.

They were just

cold-blooded and well-coordinated combatants.

The Imperial Family was in great peril.

Fortunately, the Six States

were still in a close relationship with the Imperial Family.

Therefore, all heroes and all armies went to assist the Imperial Ci.

An uprising was then thwarted.

On the military flags of this mysterious army

were Locust and Cricket.

They laid low for a century

and now, they re-emerge as the Soultaker Sect.

Should we not eliminate

such pests, the world

will be in chaos again.

Show me.

Come.

Are you used to everything now?

Remember this, Han Pu.

No need to grow up quickly.

If you want to be

who you want to be,

train hard.

If you have a goal,

your life will be meaningful.

I want to be as strong as you.

You will be stronger than me.

So Prince Huang

wants to be an Emperor

who rules on his throne?

But

won't he be lonely?

An Emperor is always lonely

because he has no friends.

But he has

absolute power, honor,

and bottomless riches.

That's a fair trade-off.

But

he can't have them when he's dead.

Mother used to say

that when we're dead, everything will be gone,

and disappear like a wisp of smoke.

Who said the Emperor can't bring the wealth with him?

He will be buried with many exotic treasures.

His consorts will die for him as well.

He won't be lonely.

But

they are not doing it out of their own volition.

If they don't truly love him,

the Emperor won't be able to find them in the afterlife.

He'll still be lonely.

You mean true love?

It is quite rare

in this world.

You're still a child. Why are you thinking about these?

Just train hard

and become stronger.

All right?

I want to be strong enough

to protect you.

Sure. I'll wait for your protection.

(Yongzhou Border)

Your Highness, during the military exercise today,

you bested your brother.

Congratulations.

Wang Yuan, where are we now?

We're less than ten li away from Mount Jing.

Let's spend a night in the relay station

over there

(Yongzhou's Third Prince, Feng Ju) and resume our journey tomorrow.

Is Feng Chang there too?

(Feng Ju's Retainer, Wang Yuan) First Prince's carriage

(Feng Ju's Retainer, Wang Yuan) is faster than ours.

They must have checked in, I reckon.

I don't want to spend a night with him.

If we're ten li away from Mount Jing,

we're not that far away from the Hot Spring Palace.

It is 100 li away from here

but it's located in the west.

Let's visit the Hot Spring Palace then.

Your Highness, the Second Prince lives there.

Father asked him to convalesce there.

He didn't give the entire palace to him.

Why do I have to stay in a relay station?

Let's go.

Chuanyu.

(Hot Spring Palace, Yongzhou)

Miss Huan.

No dutiful guard will be

(Lanxi Residence's Steward, Miss Huan) practicing swords

while his master is still recovering from an illness.

But the one inside is not my real master.

So?

If we don't treat him

like we will to His Highness,

people here will find out

sooner or later.

You're right, Miss Huan.

Sir.

Two guards reported

that the Prince Ju is out for a military exercise today

and will be visiting His Highness

as well as spending a night here.

Their carriage is approaching.

Hurry up, open the main gate of the temp residence

and prepare to welcome the Prince Ju.

Noted.

Miss Huan.

Regardless of Prince Ju's reason,

we cannot let him stay here.

If he finds out

that the one inside is just a decoy,

His Highness will be accused of deceiving His Lordship.

I know.

I will buy some time from the Prince Ju.

Ask the decoy to feign sickness.

It should buy us more time.

Noted.

Also, sound a warning arrow

and inform Chancellor Ren.

He accompanies the Princes into the military exercise lately.

He must be nearby.

Noted.

Greetings, Your Highness.

It's been a while, Miss Huan.

How is Lanxi?

Thank you for your concern.

Prince Lanxi is still recuperating.

It's best if you visit him another day.

(Hot Spring Palace) I'm already here.

- I want to check on my brother. - Your Highness.

Otherwise, people will say

- that I do not respect my brother. - Your Highness.

Careful, Your Highness.

(Hot Spring Palace) Return and get some rest, Your Highness.

Prince Lanxi's condition is unstable.

He had a high fever this afternoon.

It is ill-advised to bother him now.

Unstable condition?

All the more reason to pay him a visit.

You can't.

He is now meditating in the silent room

and someone is transferring qi flow to him for his recovery.

He cannot be disturbed.

No bother.

Fortunately, I have had some martial arts training

with a few tutors lately.

I can lend him my help

and perhaps,

he will recover even quicker.

Your Highness,

forgive my insistence.

Prince Lanxi said that no one

is allowed to disturb him.

I dare not defy his order.

Don't worry.

If someone wishes to punish you for it,

I will help you out.

Who will Lanxi punish?

Greetings, Your Highness.

Why are you here?

I heard

(Yongzhou First Prince, Feng Chang) that someone would rather travel

(Yongzhou First Prince, Feng Chang) 50 li to the temp residence

than staying in the relay station of Mount Jing with me.

I have to find out what happened, of course.

You lost in the military exercise

and now you're here to throw a tantrum?

I don't have time to entertain you now.

How is Lanxi?

I want to see him.

Show me the way.

Prince Lanxi is meditating in the silent room.

He is too indisposed to meet outsiders.

You...

Am I an outsider?

Mercy, Your Highness.

My second brother is sick.

As his elder brother, I wish to visit him.

Do I have to go through a lowly servant like you?

Your Highness, you can't go in.

Prince Lanxi said

not to let anyone in.

I can't defy his order.

Lift your face up.

What if

I insist on entering?

I am a loyal servant.

I would give my life

than defy Prince Lanxi's order.

Good.

You are indeed loyal.

I shall fulfill your wish then.

Chang.

Chang.

Stop.

I'm punishing a servant.

Why are you stopping me?

Stop.

My dear princes,

what are you two doing here

leaving behind the comfort of the relay station?

Even if you wish to visit the Second Prince,

(Yongzhou Chancellor, Ren Rusong)

there is a protocol to follow.

Administering corporal punishment to a female staff

is simply out of line.

Someone!

Yes.

Bring Miss Huan in.

Your masters are committing a great mistake

but you, the guards,

did not advise them.

Three lashes to all of you upon your return.

Chancellor Ren.

They are my guards.

It's out of your prerogative, I'm afraid.

His Lordship gave me the duty

to teach his sons martial arts when they were still young.

I also hold the title of Grand Tutor.

Now that two Princes misbehaved,

I have the right to administer a lesson.

Prince Chang, if you insist on continuing your wrongdoing,

I'll have no choice

but to inform His Lordship.

Chancellor Ren is right.

You're too reckless, Chang.

Aren't you here to visit Lanxi?

Let's go in.

Father.

Prince Ju.

Prince Chang.

How is the Prince Lanxi?

Let us in.

Father, Prince Lanxi has said

that no one...

I'm his master.

Can't I visit him as well?

Father.

I...

(Hot Spring Palace)

Father.

(Yangxin Hall)

(Yangxin Hall)

Father.

Father.

(Yangxin Hall)

Father.

Will you truly make your son defy his master's order?

The physician

said that His Highness was weak

and he shouldn't come into contact with cold air when he's meditating.

If something were to happen...

Enough. Stop nagging.

We are all worried

about the Prince Lanxi.

Not necessarily everyone.

Some people came all the way here

for petty trouble.

It takes one to know one.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Dengyun Hall is over there.

Have someone clean Feihong Hall for me.

Noted.

Never mind it.

Seeing how sick Lanxi is,

I don't want to disturb him either.

I'll just head back to the relay station.

Use this to buy some

ginseng or velvet antler for Miss Huan.

Make sure she recovers.

Enjoy your stay, Chang.

I will excuse myself now.

Where is Lanxi?

He...

You won't tell me?

Fine.

I don't have the patience for the answer.

We fooled Ju this time

but I might not be able to help

next time.

Your Highness, I...

Father.

Prince Chang.

Thank you for your help.

If something happens to Lanxi,

prepare your head.

I...

Father, does the Prince Chang know everything?

When you shotted the warning arrow,

I was with Prince Chang.

He noticed something was off.

If he hadn't stopped Prince Ju first,

I wouldn't have had the time

to set everything up with you.

Why was he so harsh towards

Miss Huan then?

How else

can he scare Prince Ju?

But it's Miss Huan.

As a servant,

you should

always be prepared to sacrifice for your master.

I have sent someone to summon a physician.

Miss Huan will be all right.

Back then,

Princess Yige recognized my talent.

Before she passed away, she asked me to take care of the Prince Lanxi.

Therefore, I will protect him

no matter what happens.

Understood.

Hurry up

and inform Prince Lanxi about what happened today.

Ask him to return quickly.

Noted.

(Observations)

"Unable to identify the decoy?"

They got me.

Wang Yuan!

Yes, Your Highness?

Bring me a horse.

Where are you going, Your Highness?

To the Hot Spring Palace.

Bring 500 guards with you too.

Your Highness,

are you worried about the Second Prince's condition?

What else?

Why don't you ask His Lordship to send him a physician?

You're right.

It's not convincing if I reveal the farce myself.

It will be interesting if Father

sees it for himself.

(Yongzhou)

Your Lordship.

The Shangzhou army that was sieging Luocheng

(Lord of Yongzhou) retreated.

(Lord of Yongzhou) Did they?

(Yongzhou's Eunuch, Yuan Lu) All thanks to Yu Wuyuan and Hei Fengxi

of The Four Gentry.

I overestimated

Yang Jinghong.

He let two kids persuade him into a withdrawal.

The Shangzhou merchants

just can't see beyond their business.

Your Lordship,

Prince Ju requests an audience with you.

Let him in.

Greetings, Father.

May you live for a millennium.

You may get up.

Thanks, Father.

Shouldn't you be in a military exercise outside of the city?

Why are you back here?

Chang is too easy an opponent.

It's boring.

Have a seat.

Thanks, Father.

If you always underestimate your opponent,

it will backfire on you sooner or later.

Speak.

Why are you here?

Father.

You mean Lanxi...

I didn't say

Lanxi left the temp residence on his own.

That would be a crime of deception.

I think he just didn't want to see me

so he ventured out.

You are brothers.

He couldn't avoid you deliberately

when you paid him a visit.

How about this?

Today is a holiday for me.

If you're worried about him,

come with me

to the Hot Spring Palace.

Yes, Father.

(Yong)

How far are we from the Hot Spring Palace?

Not far, Father.

Twenty li at most.

♪Like the dissipating fog, you become clearer♪

♪Like the hawk that soars freely, you reject the shackles♪

♪Your white silk is as light as a feather and yet it moves my heart♪

♪Ripples come at me but I don't want to dodge♪

♪Wind is just the outline of the cloud♪

♪Black is the lock of the White♪

♪Night is when the Day sleeps♪

♪You are a part of me♪

♪Right or wrong, don't worry about the why♪

♪Pain or joy, they are from our obsession♪

♪If some things cannot be taken apart♪

♪Then let's face the uncertainty together♪

♪Let tears run dry♪

♪Let's stop in another place♪

♪Let love sever all happiness and sadness♪

♪And pierce through the vicissitude of life♪

♪With a merry start, don't worry about a sorrowful end♪

♪A full moon will be more intertwined♪

♪If some things cannot be taken apart♪

♪Then let's face the uncertainty together♪

♪Then let's face the uncertainty together♪
