[Episode 6]

Young Lady.

If my calculation is right,

the White-Haired Deity and Marquis Purple Robe

should arrive at Sky's Beyond by now.

If Second Young Lady sees them

but not you,

she'll be angry.

I asked them to leave first

because I wanted

to visit lands that once belonged to Beique.

I'm sure Qing won't be mad at me

once she hears my reason.

Young Lady, there's a house there.

[Sky's Beyond]

Come in.

Sir,

the Western Chu's Sword Song has appeared

and the innate martial artist has been found.

After the Sword Deity fell,

his body was hung by the city wall.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Only the Scholar Deity could pass

down the Western Chu's Sword Song now.

The Scholarly Deity...

The Art of Drugs...

The revival of our country is soon.

[Wuxiang, Lord, Sky's Beyond]

Young Lady,

the person they worship

is Emperor Gouchen from our Beique.

They are our subjects.

I saw the dates on your memorial tablet.

Did your spouse and father-in-law

pass away 15 years ago?

My husband and my father-in-law

died in the battle

between Beique and Beili

15 years ago.

Have you ever thought

Beique would be rebuilt one day?

Even if Beique is rebuilt, so what?

My husband

and my son

can never return to me.

When another war begins,

how many more women

will lose their husbands

and children?

Why should we

rebuild the country then?

Young Lady,

what's in your mind?

If we travel north for another 20 li,

we will arrive at the former capital.

Every Lantern Festival,

it would be illuminated by lanterns.

I thought that was

the most beautiful scene in the world.

But it seems like

regardless of whether it's a capital

of a certain nation,

or if it's still run

by the same person,

when there's peace,

it will continue

to be illuminated by lanterns during the festival.

Our life is short.

Perhaps the adherents of Beique

don't need to rebuild Beique,

but rather peaceful moments

like tonight.

Western Chu's Sword Song's Cosmic Path.

Everyone respects and avoids it.

Find its Sly Path so that it can be of my use.

But if it endangers the Baili Family, you shall retreat.

Father.

I'd love

to witness the Cosmic Path myself.

Father sent a missive?

He said

that beneath the Cosmic Path lied the Sly Path.

Common people can have the Cosmic Path.

The Wen Family can have the Sly Path.

What is the Sly Path?

I've heard of it,

but not seen it.

It's said it's something about Western Chu's Art of Drugs.

If that exists,

even the deities and ghosts fear it.

What if we can't find it?

I wonder too.

If we can't find it,

will you help the Baili Family

or the Wen Family?

I'll ask my son.

I'll help whoever he wants me to help.

Don't worry.

Father said

that if it endangered the Baili Family,

we retreat.

He told you to retreat,

not to assist them.

It means he has noticed

it's different this time.

But Father can only represent himself.

I'm different from him.

I don't care about the Baili Family,

but I will not let anyone harm you,

not to mention my nephew.

Unless...

I die.

[I'll poison you to death]

I wonder

how Sikong Changfeng is doing now.

[Drug King Valley]

[Xin Baicao, Drug King]

Thank you, sir.

No need to thank me.

I didn't say I'd save you.

Tell me.

Did Wen Hujiu ask you

to come here?

Did he say

that when I saw the poison in you,

I'd do my best to cure you

to prove that I was better than him?

And once I fed you the antidote,

your previous injuries would flare up.

I'd think that it was another trick from him

and so I'd do my very best

to save you once more.

Oh, no.

Mr. Wen told me

that the Drug King would save me,

but he didn't tell me what to do

if he saw through the plan.

Only one person can put

those five poisons in a body.

No one else can do that.

Therefore, only he can pull off such a childish trick.

Don't move.

If you won't save me,

then I won't stay here.

I didn't say I wouldn't save you.

However,

I have a condition.

What is it?

By right,

you should have been dead.

What kept you alive?

Did a famous physician treat you before?

I have no money for a physician.

I saw a book about herbs,

gathered some herbs,

and ingested them randomly.

How quaint.

You might have a talent for medicinal knowledge.

Great.

I need

an apprentice here to test my herbs

and to serve me.

He may follow my steps

after I pass away

and become a drug king.

You're too old to be an apprentice,

but I have no other candidates here.

I'll just have to make do.

Farewell.

Fine. Six months.

I'll save you

and you keep me company here for six months.

Just six months?

Yes.

Maybe after six months,

you'll want to stay.

Sure.

What's the matter?

Sir,

it's Mr. Zhuomo.

Heading to Qiandong City, Feng?

I knew that

with your temperament,

you would

rush here at once.

And,

with my wit,

I know that you'll pass by here.

What do you think?

Isn't my prediction

precise?

Compliment me.

Father.

I have news from Tianqi City.

It's about the Little Master from the Academy.

My dear father.

The sun hasn't even come out yet.

What are you doing?

Your uncle told me that you wanted to learn swordsmanship.

So get up and practice.

You little brat.

He falls asleep here.

How rude.

Carry your sword.

A good swordsman

does not put his sword away randomly.

Are you going to teach me?

Isn't it obvious?

I don't want you to teach me.

Why?

You don't think I'm good enough?

Look.

What do you think of this sword?

Celestial Level Sword is naturally among the best ones.

Yes.

If I have the best sword,

I must be tutored

by the greatest swordsman.

Mr. Li from Jixia Academy

in Tianqi City is the strongest

individual at the moment.

Since I can't head to Tianqi City,

just find me

someone of his caliber.

What a brat.

Like I said,

a good swordsman

does not put his sword away randomly.

Give it back.

There you go.

Now, use it.

Sure.

That's how you wield a sword?

Again.

Why bother?

Learn how to draw it first.

There you go.

This is how you draw a sword.

This is the unsheathing technique

of my Instant Kill Sword Arts.

I could only master the basics

of the sword technique my master taught me.

Yet I remember a line

from him.

You must have a reason to draw your sword,

and when you sheathe, it means you have completed your mission.

The sword wave must be fast like lightning,

yet silent.

Always know

why you draw your sword.

From now on,

you will be confined

to this yard.

You may only leave

once your unsheathing technique

is strong enough

to slice this scarecrow in half.

It's just unsheathing.

But that looks cool.

[Ten Days Later]

I don't understand.

Must we

wear this outfit?

Because Master said

that white best suits a refined gentleman.

And this is what a disciple of the Academy should look like.

Unlike you,

I hate white.

The point is it's too much trouble to wash it.

If it is stained

with dust,

isn't it the opposite

of being a refined gentleman,

like Master said?

Master knew

you would complain,

so he told me to tell you

that this was a ritual.

[Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion]

You and Marquis

forced Dongjun to practice swordsmanship in the backyard

to avoid somebody, didn't you?

The Little Master from the Academy.

Little Master

is not that person's only identity.

But a mere backyard

cannot possibly hold Dongjun captive.

What if he cuts the scarecrow

in half with one slash?

Talented as he may be,

he can't even master

the basics

of unsheathing skill within a few days.

Without any internal strength as his foundation,

he won't be able to do it even after a month.

What if he has internal strength?

Hujiu, that's impossible.

Sir.

What's the urgency?

Envoys from the Academy are here.

He must be Baili Chengfeng,

the son of Marquis of Zhenxi.

He's Baili Dongjun's father?

He's a powerful one.

Sir.

Greetings, Little Master.

Internal strength?

How come Dongjun has internal strength?

He doesn't seem to be aware of it.

To cultivate his internal strength

in secret

by using liquor brewing

as a cover-up...

Perhaps

this is the Sly Path Father mentioned.

Baili.

You can't hide for long.

How's that?

But Young Master,

this scarecrow

is still the same.

Impossible.

Why is it

unaffected at all?

It shouldn't be.

I used

all my strength.

What stupid sword is this?

A Celestial Level Sword?

It can't even slash through a scarecrow.

I'm done.

Young Master.

You can't leave now.

After the previous time,

your father has begun to suspect me.

If I release you,

he'll think we collude together

and we will be found out.

Fine. I'll stay.

Ask my grandfather to rescue me.

But

he already dropped by this morning.

Grandfather came?

He looked at you from outside

and said, "Not bad",

before going to the camp.

They even bought Grandfather off.

Great.

This is irritating!

Rui, what do you think

is the best way

to leave this backyard?

Knock me out and forcibly get out.

Or...

master the unsheathing skill.

Young Master...

It's just unsheathing a sword.

I'll do it.

This is...

Me?

I'm also a disciple of the Academy.

However,

I'm not an envoy.

I came to Qiandong City

to meet a friend

to catch up.

Sir,

just pretend that I'm not here.

This senior brother of mine

comes from the martial arts world.

Please do not mind

his manner of speech.

So you too

are a disciple of Mr. Li.

Halt.

Do not be shaken

by that old man's reputation.

He's

just

an ordinary and fussy old man.

Do you know how fussy he is?

I hate to wear this.

But what can I do? It's the Academy's rules.

Sir,

please don't be offended.

Of course, not.

May I know

how many people do you wish to take

from Qiandong City?

What if...

it's just one individual?

The Academy sure has a strict requirement.

You came all the way

to Qiandong City

to recruit one person only?

You're mistaken.

Am I?

Tell me, Sir.

How many cities

do we have in Beili?

163 in total.

We recruited only one disciple during a particularly

unfruitful year,

and admitted six disciples at most during the very opposite.

In this vast world,

many people

want to join us.

Forget about the world.

In Tianqi City alone,

many prestigious families

and wandering martial artists

came to join us.

Therefore,

to take one person

from Qiandong City

is already quite a lot,

not too few.

Too many, even.

What if the person isn't here?

You might have to come with me

to Tianqi City then.

My master speaks highly

of your talent,

it's just

you're a bit old.

I'm done.

I'm so tired.

We'll do it another day.

Another day.

Bravo!

Rui,

bring me the liquor.

Marquis is back!

Sir.

Take a seat.

You came all the way

to my mansion.

Yet you came veiled.

Why? You don't want me

to see your faces?

I came to visit

on behalf of the Academy.

My son already explained to me

the purpose of your visit.

My Pofeng Army

has many talented individuals.

I shall bring them here later

for you to choose.

It's not urgent.

Why isn't

Young Master Baili here?

My grandson is a naughty one.

He left the city two days ago.

Little Master,

pay him no attention.

Don't say anything.

Listen to me.

It's not

that I don't know how to unsheathe my sword.

I just

don't want to. Do you understand?

Cheers.

Sword...

Sword...

Where is my sword?

Sword...

Young Master,

you may rest today.

I'll tell your father that...

No need to...

No!

The timing is just right.

I feel

so full

of energy now.

Little Master, the guest chamber is this way.

Can you sense

that formidable internal strength?

♪The spring wind blows past the tavern's rickety windows♪

♪Under the eaves, the horses stop clopping when they see me♪

♪Amid love and hate, only my fighter's spirit is eternal♪

♪My boiling blood makes its mark♪

It's just...

unsheathing anyway.

♪The breeze blows past the windows, the hooves fall silent♪

♪I rule the world with my raging ambition♪

♪The breeze blows past the windows, the hooves fall silent♪

♪I rule the world with my legacy♪

♪The breeze blows past the windows, the hooves fall silent♪

♪I rule the world with my raging ambition♪

♪The breeze blows past the windows, the hooves fall silent♪

♪I rule the world with my legacy♪

We finally meet.

Have we met before?

Who are you?

My surname is Xiao.

I am

Baili Dong...

Dong...

Jun...

I know.

About the Academy,

I think

I have my answer.

Sir,

that slash from your son

was exquisite.

Finally, I failed to prevent it.

You should have known

from the beginning

that he cannot remain hidden.

It's only been ten days.

How did Dongjun make

so much progress with his swordsmanship?

Perhaps like you said, his body

houses

the internal strength of a powerful fighter?

Rui.

Yes, Sir?

What did Dongjun do

before he unsheathed?

He didn't do anything

except for drinking.

He drank for several hours

and even finished all the liquor he had hidden

in his chamber.

Just like

that time at Famous Swords Manor,

he drank a lot there.

It seems like

when he's

tipsy,

the power inside his body

will appear.

It's all his doing.

[Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion]

As I

have completed my duty

as Little Master,

it's time for me to complete

the task Father gave me.

I'll come with you.

You should stay and keep a close watch

on our future junior here,

in case he is hidden somewhere else.

Sorry, Father.

They discovered Dongjun.

He took a look and left?

Sirs,

Little Master left the mansion

and headed toward the court.

He's on the move.

He did say

that he came

on behalf of the Academy.

That means His Majesty is not

holding me accountable for Western Chu's Scholarly Deity.

He only sent

his most trustworthy son

to deal with the Scholarly Deity

in secret.

Chengfeng, once they are at the courtyard,

dispatch more men

to block all ingress and egress.

Irrelevant personnel are not to enter or leave.

Quickly.

Jixia?

You're here on behalf of the Academy?

I'd love

to represent the Academy.

Unfortunately,

I'm here on behalf of the imperial court.

So what do you want?

You are the remnant of Western Chu.

You must be detained

and charged by the Court of Judicial Review.

Many people

can do that,

such as the local prefecture, the Court of Judicial Review,

or even the Shadow Guard Office under the Crown Prince.

Why you, a member of the Academy,

are in charge of this?

You must

have a unique identity.

Your surname is Xiao?

He asked you to come here

to earn some merits

and to earn

the achievement

of detaining a Western Chu's remnant like me.

Sir,

you are indeed someone who's as powerful as my master.

Among the princes,

which one are you?

I'm the ninth one.

As a swordsman,

I have nothing but respect for you.

However,

this has nothing to do

with my desire to take you with me.

You think

you can take me with you?

I would like to try.

Oh right.

My name

is Xiao Ruofeng.

I see.

Xiao Ruofeng.

Is that all you've got?

Is this the sword technique

taught to you by your master?

My master possesses a sword technique.

He calls it the second-best sword technique.

I cannot master it,

nor am I strong enough to grasp it.

However,

I also have my own sword technique.

I call it

the third-best sword technique.

Great.

What a good name.

Now, take my sword.

Uncle,

what are you doing here?

Did you have a good sleep?

How are you, Dongjun?

Mengsha.

You're here too?

Wait.

Before I fell asleep,

did I meet someone?

He told me his surname was Xiao.

Was I dreaming?

He is the Ninth Prince, Xiao Ruofeng.

Also the Little Master from the Academy.

He came for my master.

How smart of you.

But he was also here for you.

I need to see my master now.

You finally admitted

that you have a master.

I need to save him.

Even if it means I'll die,

I'll save him too.

Uncle,

I'll give you ten pots of Plum First blossom.

Let me go.

And 20 pots of Frosty Pine,

30 pots of Illusory Moon,

plus this Dustless.

You can have them all.

I don't need your sword.

But as for all those liquors you mentioned,

you have to give me all of them.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhuomo.

Are you stopping us?

If I'm not mistaken,

he's in the Sovereign Sky Phase.

I won't be able to take him out.

I'll just tag along.

[Lord Wutian, Lord Wufa, Sky's Beyond]

Crushing Palm.

That's right.

Cover our back, you two.

You're too weak

to take me with you.

A spar with you

has shown me the wide gap between us.

Forgive my arrogance.

The young men should be arrogant

and fearless.

You have potential.

I won't kill you.

I am not long for this world.

Thus, I am no threat

to Beili.

My biggest wish

is to pass down my swordsmanship

to my disciple.

Then Beili will continue to hunt you down

because your disciple

carries the surname of Baili.

Who's there?

I am Wufa.

I am Wutian.
