[Episode 9]

Yun.

Why are you here?

I said we'd meet tonight, didn't I?

Didn't I also say

I'm busy tonight?

Also,

how did you know I am here?

You and Ye Yun are like siblings.

If you return to Tianqi,

the first thing

you would do is visit him.

Did Master tell you

all these things?

Do you believe me now?

I'm really here entrusted by the Scholarly Deity

to help you.

Do you have

any other requests?

I heard the liquor you brew is excellent.

I'll teach you internal strength

and you give me fine liquor.

How about that?

It's a deal.

Yun.

I'm off now.

Father.

Mother.

I've failed as a son.

I only come to visit you now.

In the past, I told you...

I didn't want to be a general,

yet I wanted to be a swordsman

who roams freely in the martial arts world

Now...

I've achieved that halfway.

I didn't bring anything good

to see you today.

Let me show you some swordplay.

Father.

Mother.

Wait for me

to clear

your grievances.

Come on.

Pick a jar.

One is not enough.

You...

♪The strong wind shows an impending storm♪

♪The flickering and swaying shadows from the red candle♪

♪The geese fly off suddenly startled by the rustling grass and leaves♪

♪The storm and clouds gather, leading to chaos under heaven♪

♪A long whistling song and dance♪

♪Impetuous, wild and free-spirited♪

♪The carefree joy of youth♪

♪Who can let their gratitude and grudges♪

What...

What martial art is this?

This is the internal strength you're about to learn.

It's called the Falling Flowers and Flowing Water.

♪A song of heartless incantation♪

♪Thunder illuminates the snow lotus♪

Falling Flowers and Flowing Water?

♪If the heart is unpredictable♪

♪I will remain alone♪

♪Unyielding in my resolve♪

It seems that person

is the one who sneaked into the Academy in broad daylight.

Such splendid skills.

How can you still

appreciate his martial arts?

Baili Dongjun has been targeted

by various people

as soon as he entered the city.

No, I have to check on him.

It's indeed good liquor.

It's a pity to waste a couple of drops of it.

It's a hidden weapon.

Ruofeng, let's go and deal with him.

What hidden weapon?

It's just a drop of liquor.

Rest assured.

This person means no harm.

He just greeted us

a moment ago.

What does that mean?

Do...

Do you know him?

Wait, why didn't you tell me

that you know him?

Why didn't you tell me?

Who is he?

I brought Baili Dongjun here.

Why are you more anxious than I am?

I was...

He is

the Chief of Baixiao Hall, Ji Ruofeng.

He's the Scholarly Deity's old acquaintance.

He's willing to teach Baili Dongjun

the Scholarly Deity's Autumn Water Technique.

Otherwise, do you think

I'll ask Dongjun to learn your Lei Clan's

clumsy internal strength technique?

I...

Then he wouldn't pass the Academy's exam even in ten years.

Am I...

Am I clumsy?

From now on, you'll give me five jars of liquor

for every visit.

How about that?

You've gone too much.

You can brew more when the liquor runs out.

But if you fail the Academy's exam,

there won't be another chance.

It seems

the liquor I brew is really too good.

Come on.

Although there isn't much time left,

it shouldn't be a big problem

for you.

Mr. Liuyue,

there are only three days left until the preliminary examination.

Do you finish

writing questions for the exam?

Didn't you already say

the preliminary examination is in three days?

Why are you in such a hurry?

I'm not in a hurry.

Why would I be in a hurry?

I just think that maybe we...

Why?

Everyone is too afraid to ask me directly,

so they pressure you instead?

Am I right?

It is really exhausting even for anyone

when they ask three or four times a day.

In previous years,

there would be some hints

seven days before the preliminary examination.

Are you really going to wait

until the last day

to announce it this time?

Isn't it the normal procedure

to announce it on the last day?

Why?

Has the Academy become

so shameless now?

Is leaking exam questions in advance

an unspoken rule now?

Liuyue,

the preliminary examination

doesn't determine the final result.

There's still a final examination

after the preliminary examination.

The finals have remained unchanged for decades,

which involves teams competing against each other.

That is

where the candidates' true strengths are tested.

The preliminary examination is just

for the young men

to bring home some good omens.

Don't take it so seriously, Liuyue.

Mr. Zhuomo is right.

Moreover,

with Mr. Liuyue's talent,

even if

the exam questions were disclosed in advance,

it would still be pointless

if the candidates have no abilities.

That's right.

Why talk so much?

Do you still want to play?

No.

I can't win you anyway.

I was just wondering...

[Elegance of the World]

why you suddenly came

to play weiqi with me today

and humiliate yourself.

It turns out you also came for the exam questions.

Well, I brought a friend here

who is preparing for the exam.

Besides,

I could find out the questions ten days in advance

in the past years.

Who knew

you would be the chief examiner this time?

Excellent, really excellent.

That's

why I'm visiting you personally.

What if I insist on announcing

the questions on the last day?

Fine.

It seems

you'll be the chief examiner

every year from now on.

Are you threatening me?

Yes, I'm threatening you.

So what?

You do know

I'm very talkative.

I'll go

to Master every day

and sway him.

I'll tell him

you are an excellent chief examiner.

I'll keep persuading him

until he gets annoyed

and agrees

to make you the chief examiner

year after year.

Fine.

Year after year.

I surrender.

Beyond civil and military.

That's right.

It's beyond civil and military.

Major exams in the world are divided into civil and military categories.

But there are so many interesting things

beyond these two categories.

So

I won't test civil

or military subjects.

So long as this topic has something

that impresses me,

I'll let them pass

the preliminary examination.

This is worse than saying nothing.

But what exactly is tested

if it has nothing to do with civil and military subjects.

You need to know

that our academy not only seeks people

who excel

in both civil and military skills

but also those who are interesting.

My topic is to test

the candidates themselves.

Liuyue.

You're giving me

special treatment here.

Don't pin that on me.

What I said was from the bottom of my heart

and has nothing to do

with the friend you brought.

I got it.

By the way,

how is

that young man doing recently?

I have no idea, either.

Speaking of which,

I haven't seen him in days.

That is comfortable.

Having internal strength sure makes a big difference.

My whole body feels warm.

Is Lei Mengsha at the Academy today?

How would I know

Mr. Zhuomo's whereabouts?

Where are your manners?

What's up?

Do you need something from me today?

I have good news for you.

What a coincidence.

I also have good news

to tell you.

Really?

You go first.

Listen.

I already know the preliminary examination topic.

Really?

What's the topic?

Four words.

"Beyond

Civil

and

Military."

What's wrong?

Are you so happy you're stunned?

That expression...

Wait.

With your mediocre civil and military skills,

Beyond Civil and Military is quite a good topic.

Beyond Civil and Military?

I've been practicing martial arts for so many days

and now you're telling me the topic is Beyond Civil and Military?

This is so irritating!

This is ridiculous.

Beyond Civil and Military is not testing

civil or military skills.

How is this an examination?

Then

what do you think is being tested?

Maybe

it's whoever looks the best who gets into the final examination?

You make a good point.

Mr. Liuyue is said

to be extraordinarily handsome.

Maybe it really is that whoever looks the best

meets the requirements.

The young man here

is very handsome.

If he takes the exam,

he will surely pass it.

He indeed has an extraordinary presence.

Thank you for the compliments.

You're most welcome.

Beyond Civil and Military.

That's pretty interesting.

[Tailoring House]

Welcome, miss.

The winter will be here soon.

Our shop has just received a new batch of fabrics.

Mister,

make me a set of clothes.

It's urgent.

I want it within three days.

Sure.

[Academy Examination Day]

[Beyond Civil and Military]

That's enough.

Mr. Liuyue, you always do things in your own way.

This is the first time I've heard

of holding the academy's examination

in my gambling house.

The so-called examination

is actually no different from gambling.

Please elaborate.

Many people study hard for ten years

for the moment of the examination.

It might be

the moment for them to create the best performance

or perhaps perform badly,

with no chance for redemption.

Gambling

is the same.

Until you sit at the gambling table,

no one knows what will happen.

Once you're at the table,

the game has just begun.

Well said!

Unless you're cheating.

Why?

Someone dares cheat

here at Qianjin House?

Of course not.

That's why we're holding

the exam here today.

Mr. Liuyue.

You are indeed extraordinary.

Marvelous,

truly marvelous.

Even my golden tooth

is in awe of you.

Where is Second Master?

Wasn't he the one who originally agreed to lend us

the place?

He went to listen to the song.

I don't know

why he likes listening to the song so much.

He wasn't interested

in the academy exam at all.

He only agreed to let you use the place

because Mr. Liuyue traded

a piece of an old music score with him.

Hosting the academy exam here means

my Qianjin House loses

ten thousand taels of silver a day.

I don't mind.

Master Tu, your losses will be compensated

by the Academy tomorrow.

The Academy is really generous.

Excellent.

Generous.

How nice.

- We can do this! - We can do this!

- All the best! - All the best!

- You can do this. - You can do this.

- We can do this. - We can do this.

I, Baili Dongjun, am here.

Who... Who is this?

Who's this?

Drunk again?

Who's...

You are the expert from Swords Forest.

You are...

Ye Dingzhi.

Yes, I remember now.

You're Ye Dingzhi.

That day, I was drunk.

But I remember your sword technique was good.

And you're quite interesting.

I originally wanted

to befriend you,

but my uncle took me away

before I could say anything.

It's not too late now.

You're right.

Are you here to take the academy exam too?

Of course.

Candidates!

Enter immediately!

[Qianjin House]

- You'll pass! - You can do it!

Let's go.

I'm fully prepared this time.

Are you nervous?

Not really.

Just relax.

It's my first time here.

Could this be the betting odds

that Lei Mengsha previously told me about?

What is this?

I know this.

This is a bet set by Qianjin House.

It's to see who will win

first place today.

What does this mean?

What does this "one thousand"

next to my name mean?

[Ye Dingzhi]

[One Thousand to One Odds]

Does it mean the bigger the number, the stronger you are?

What are you thinking?

The bigger the number,

the fewer people bet on you.

And your odds are higher.

At this time,

if someone bets one liang of silver on you

and you win first place,

he will win a thousand taels.

But the chances are slim.

No one would want to take that risk.

Unlike me,

I'm a popular choice

with many people betting on me.

So my odds are not...

[Pay Out. Bet]

[Baili Dongjun]

[One Thousand to One Odds]

Wait, it's also one thousand?

You can't even catch a peach thrown

by a student from Affiliated Academy.

Your odds could be nothing

but one thousand.

The odds at Qianjin House are determined

by

the number of bets being placed.

I hope

you won't mind, Mr. Liuyue.

How could Mr. Liuyue care

about such trivial matters?

Let's go.

Let's begin.

The academy exam

is about to begin.

The so-called Beyond Civil and Military

is to invite all of you

to showcase talents

that are astonishing

beyond the realms

of arts and martial prowess.

The exam will last 12 hours.

Within these 12 hours,

if anyone feels ready

to present,

inform us

what you intend to display.

We will dispatch

corresponding examiners

to assess you.

If you pass the test,

you'll proceed to the final examination.

Each candidate is accompanied

by an assistant.

You can request

your assistant

to fetch the necessary items you need

outside Qianjin House

to showcase your talents.

Any objections?

Everyone had been informed

of this.

Why are you still asking if there are objections?

It is already futile to object.

This silly boy.

Yes, it's futile.

[Token] Let's begin.

Let the exam begin!

It feels

that we'll be executed on the spot immediately.

Someone.

Someone.

Someone.

Someone.

What can I do for you, mister?

Go to Sanlu Inn

and find Lei Mengsha.

Bring my large parcel

to me.

Who are you looking for?

Lei Mengsha, who speaks a lot of nonsense.

Go.

What are you planning to do?

You will know soon enough.

[Ever-changing]

Your Highness,

[Yingxian, Prince Qing's Guard] the assistants are on the move.

I wonder if there's anyone among them

[Xiao Xie, Prince Qing, Beili] are capable

of helping me ascend the throne.

The Academy is holding the examination today?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Baili Luochen's grandson,

Baili Dongjun,

is also among the exam candidates.

How come he is in Tianqi City?

It was the Ninth Prince

who brought him to Tianqi City.

Is it possible the Ninth Prince also...

You're overthinking it with Ruofeng.

I know my son

well.

He likely brought Baili Dongjun to Tianqi

simply because

he admired him.

He wouldn't give that boy a hard time.

On the contrary,

if Baili Dongjun is in trouble,

he would risk his life to save him.

I'm curious about that.

I've always heard

Baili Luochen's only grandson

is a notorious playboy.

But unexpectedly,

he suddenly mastered the Western Chu's Sword Song.

And I wonder how he caught

the eye of Ruofeng.

Your Majesty, you seem to appreciate

the Ninth Prince a lot.

You spoke too much.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Which other princes have gone

to the Academy's examination?

Prince Qing.

Xie?

Never mind him.

These little games they're playing

aren't worth

my concern.

[Beyond Civil and Military]

Sir, I wish to present my talent.

So soon?

What's your name?

What are you submitting?

I'm Duan Baiyi from Baiyi Sect.

I've studied weiqi since childhood.

What I intend to present for Beyond Civil and Military

is my skill in weiqi.

Very well.

Please enlighten me, Mr. Liuyue.

You?

You want to play with me?

How long have you studied weiqi?

How long have you studied?

Since I was seven.

That makes it seventeen years.

I started learning at three.

That makes it seven years.

That's not a big gap.

Let's begin.

I'm undefeated when I play with black pieces.

You start first.

Sure.

He said he was good at playing weiqi?

He can't even win against a maidservant.

Being able to persist for so long against Lingsu

while Lingsu is the one playing with the black pieces

shows more than

just proficiency.

After more than ten years of hard practice...

I have actually lost...

to...

a maidservant.

It appears to be a game of weiqi.

But in reality,

it reveals the heart.

Being overly aggressive,

the long blade easily breaks.

Your weiqi skills are excellent.

But you lost to Lingsu

perhaps because you haven't lost in a long time.

I, on the other hand, lose every day.

Losing today might not be

a bad thing.

I, Duan Baiyi,

will remember your teaching.

Whose exam assistant is this?

Whose exam assistant is this?

Is he planning to sleep

during the preliminary examination?

Thank you.

So it's him.

If he doesn't know anything,

sleeping is the best option.

Why?

Are you really planning to sleep here

as they said?

Yes.

But

why are you as ignorant

as they are?

Do you really believe that?

I was just joking.

What did you prepare?

It's arriving right now.

What... What's that?

Freshly slaughtered lamb leg from Beiman.

It's still fresh.

This is what I prepared.

Interesting.

Can you tell me

what you're planning to do now?

Brew liquor.

Brew liquor?

I have

no special skills,

except for brewing liquor,

which I have learned since childhood.

Since this is Beyond Civil and Military,

naturally, I have to bring out my best skill.

But isn't

aged liquor better?

Can you brew good liquor

within 12 hours?

That's what you don't know.

Aged liquor has its brewing method.

Freshly brewed liquor also has

its brewing method.

There are thousands of kinds of liquor in this world.

Each has its own flavor

and it's not necessarily true that the more it aged, the better.

It's

about whether you can drink

the one you like.

Don't just look at me.

The lamb leg you prepared is still

on the table.

I'm on it.

This person is good.

This knife skill looks

ordinary,

but the subtleties reveal true mastery.

He can be called

a real master.

Send him an invitation after the exam.

Well,

what about the young man chosen by the Ninth Prince?

You mean

the one brought back by Xiao Ruofeng?

Father sent him

to Qiandong City

and he brought back such a person.

What do you think this person's background is?

Who in the entire court can sway

those from the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion?

Moreover,

Marquis of Zhenxi

is the biggest obstacle

to my ascension to the throne.

Not bad.

Are you done with yours?

Yes.

After this, every half an hour,

I only need to change the hot water bottle.

This is my secret technique.

When my lamb is roasted,

we don't have to worry about dinner anymore.

Lamb paired with wine.

Just imagine how wonderful it will be.

That will depend on

how good your lamb tastes.

But you're right about something.

I think

we might rank last.

What difference does it make

to rank first or last?

It's fine as long as we get in.

Who says it doesn't matter?

Winning first place means you're the best.

Sir, I want to present my talent.

Who are you?

What do you want to be tested on?

I'm a wanderer of the martial arts world.

I don't belong to any sect.

I'm Yan Feifei.

As for the topic,

come down and I'll show you.

What do you want to be tested on?

[Jixia] This.

You stole my token.

Her qinggong is quite impressive.

Your qinggong is also amazing.

Stealing sounds so bad.

I call this

Sleight of Hand.

In my gambling house,

there's even someone

who's this flexible.

Judging by her skill,

she must be the disciple

of the Godly Thief, Kong Ling'er.

Give it back to me.

May I ask

if this qualifies me to pass the preliminary examination?

Since what you want to showcase

is the art of Sleight of Hand,

I won't be the one to test you.

Sanqin.

I'm Sanqin.

You have three chances

to steal one thing from me.

How do I know

if you even have anything on you?

You'll have to figure that out with your skills.

Is this qinggong?

Three Steps Cicada Pursuit.

If that's the case,

does this still count as Beyond Civil and Military?

Does qinggong count as martial arts?

I remember reading

a huaben titled "The Moon".

In it, a swordsman said

to a qinggong expert

that

qinggong is not

the same as martial arts.

Coincidentally, I read that too.

But later,

the qinggong expert replied

to him...

But speed defines

the distance between you and me.

Three Flying Swallow Moves?

Be more careful.

My apologies.

How did I do?

Candidate Yan Feifei has passed the preliminary examination.

Thank you.

Also...

Sir.

I want to display my skills too.

Who are you and what do you want to show?

I'm Yin Luoxia.

What I want to test is...

Thank you for the compliments.

You're welcome.

Interesting.

This person has changed her identity.

Why?

Is she that beautiful?

You look mesmerized.

It's not that.

Why do her eyes look

so familiar?

Why does everyone look familiar to you?

Back in Swords Forest,

didn't you find me familiar-looking too?

You've used this trick many times to get close to people, huh?

Don't speak nonsense.

It's impossible.

She feels completely different

from Miss Fairy.

Gambling.
