(Tianshu Pavilion of the Astronomical Bureau)

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Why are you shouting?

Someone wants to meet you.

I'm absent.

Cultivator Mu,

I am here.

The formation is so formidable?

Yes.

The setting up of this formation is complicated

and extremely difficult.

If Dowager Consort Zhao had not intervened,

ordinary demons would not be able to accomplish it.

Moreover, the most important point is

that the person within the formation must be sincere.

I see.

No wonder that great demon

had to support

a wizard like Tao Ying with a million followers.

It's just to

make these followers sacrifice themselves willingly,

right?

Fortunately, the disaster was stopped by your father

and the great demon was executed on the spot.

The demon was not executed,

but sealed in place by my father.

She broke free from the seal and found my father,

exterminating the entire Mu Family.

You mean…

The great demon in the formation

is the Resentful Woman.

The Queen of Demons who is at Tier 9?

That's right.

You mean...

The...

Resentful Woman is now...

She is now

inside the Xingshan Hall.

She wants to complete the Life Suction Formation

once again.

It's over.

I must immediately gather the leaders and report to the supervisor.

I need to find someone to deal with this crisis now.

Yao,

your hand!

How long have you been practicing?

Not long.

Yao,

don't go.

I must tell you something as soon as possible.

I approached you intentionally under my master's orders

to travel with you.

But I can swear,

he has no ill intentions.

At the very beginning,

my master instructed me to approach you

to gain your trust

and steal the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

But when the time came,

I found I fell in love with you.

I have always been obedient to my master,

but I'm afraid of hurting you.

To be honest, when the map was destroyed,

I actually felt relieved.

You stay with us after that

because your master instructed you to continue monitoring me,

right?

Yes.

Since then, I have feared that you would discover the truth.

But the longer I spent time with you,

the more I understood what I wanted.

You are

my only light in this life.

Others only see my fame and beautiful clothes,

yet no one knows

that I have always lived in the dark.

♪Don't cry♪

♪I've held your hand, tracing your palm lines♪

Yao,

I know you have feelings for me too.

You're overthinking it.

I have no

feelings for you at all.

But,

if there were no feelings between us,

why did you…

That kiss, right?

You are a handsome young man

with good appearance,

and you've won the favor of the Princess.

So I just did it

on the spur of the moment.

♪I've been saved♪

♪Don't cry♪

♪I've held your hand, tracing your palm lines♪

♪The wind and snow aren't cruel♪

The Resentful Woman and I have a deep-seated enmity.

I will kill her by myself.

The Astronomical Bureau will assist you with all its might.

But I have a condition.

Go ahead.

Don't tell them.

♪Loving you completes♪

♪My life♪

Waiter, bring the wine.

Sorry, sir.

A guest arrived a bit earlier.

He said he bought out all of our wine.

Sheng.

Get lost.

I'm in a bad mood today.

I don't want to speak with you.

I just want a jar of wine.

I said,

get lost. Don't you understand?

Mu Sheng,

I always let you have your way.

Today I won't bear it anymore.

If you continue speaking disrespectfully,

I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson.

Fine!

I would like to see

what the renowned Young Master Fuyi

can do!

Show me!

You're awake?

Yu,

what's wrong with me?

I just remember that,

yesterday,

I seemed to have been kidnapped.

It's your friend, the Demon Catcher.

Why did he kidnap me?

He's a bit short-tempered.

Please don't take it to heart.

About yesterday's incident,

could you please stop pursuing this matter?

Alright.

After all, he is your friend.

However,

yesterday,

I think I saw a terrifying demon.

It should be a great demon.

There's no great demon.

You must have been drunk and remembered it wrong,

or you had a nightmare.

Nightmare?

It shouldn't be.

I clearly remember yesterday I…

It was a nightmare.

You were just scared by him.

That's why you dreamed of these things.

Yes.

I was indeed frightened.

I must have drunk myself into confusion.

Does your head still hurt?

Have some plum juice.

Yu, you are really good to me.

When we get married,

we will be the happiest couple in the world.

Let me drink it.

Since you're fine now,

I want to go back to the inn to check.

Check on whom?

Oh, my mind is slipping.

Those cultivators who travelled with you

should all be your family members.

You should visit them more often.

In that case, I'll accompany you.

You should rest.

I'll be back soon.

(Wine)

If it weren't for the fact that running this tavern is not easy,

if it weren't for the fear of hurting the innocent,

I…

I would…

I would teach you a lesson.

Today, I also

don't want to have a fight with anyone.

Otherwise,

I'll definitely take your life.

If it's not that I'm afraid of hurting the innocent,

I would have taught you a lesson.

Come here.

What's the matter?

Hurry up.

Before they lose consciousness,

find out where they live.

Okay.

Ziqi didn't come back all night?

No, he didn't.

Didn't he go out with you?

What happened?

He...

Is this Miss Mu?

Yes.

Sorry to disturb you.

I heard Young Masters Mu and Liu,

who stayed at this inn,

came with you.

Are they your family?

They are my younger brother and a friend.

They two have already drunk

over ten jars of wine at our tavern.

Now they are both completely drunk.

Drinking

more than ten jars?

Both

completely drunk?

My Lord,

are you not going to pursue the ruffian

who dared to kidnap you last night?

It's about to rain heavily.

Why hasn't Yu returned yet?

My Lord, the ruffian is extremely vicious.

If not severely punished…

No.

Prepare the carriage. I will go to pick her up.

My Lord, we just leave it at that?

My Lord.

Listen to me finish speaking, My Lord.

Ziqi, Brother Liu.

Sheng.

Fuyi.

Ziqi, how did you end up drinking like this?

Fuyi.

Sister Mu.

I'll go find someone.

Let me go instead.

You take care of them.

Excuse me.

Yu.

Yu, you are here.

After inquiry, I knew you came to this tavern.

It's raining so heavily outside.

What if you get wet?

I'll take you back.

Sister Mu alone

can't take care of both of them.

I want to stay.

I will send someone to take care of them.

The wedding is approaching.

You and the Marquis have many things to prepare.

Don't get distracted by other people.

But what's the point of that?

Isn't the bamboo dragonfly supposed to go against the wind?

It should fly free and unrestrained.

Wherever the wind goes, it follows.

I like whatever

my love likes.

Miaomiao,

you go back now.

It's enough with me here.

I'm fine.

I'm fine now.

Lin Yu,

you go now.

You are now a bride-to-be.

There are many things to prepare.

Be careful.

Yu,

do you have something on your mind?

I like this.

Look, this color is beautiful.

My feather is good, too.

Let me show you this.

Look at mine.

Stop!

What's wrong, Yu?

Yu!

Yu!

Young Master Liu!

Princess Duanyang is here.

All of you, step aside.

Someone, help!

(Wangji)

Ziqi!

Where is the young man who was drunk just now?

Miss,

those two people have already left.

Left?

Yu,

Yu, why did you suddenly come back?

I want to return this to Ziqi.

What's this?

This is the bamboo dragonfly made by Ziqi.

For a child's toy,

you ran back in such heavy rain.

Is there something else

that's weighing on you?

I don't know.

I just remember

Ziqi made this bamboo dragonfly,

but it wasn't made well.

It couldn't fly high.

I said I would help him fix it,

but I haven't returned it to him.

Yu,

do you like

that person called Mu Ziqi?

No.

The one I like is you.

The one I've always liked

is you.

Sister,

how about we set off tomorrow?

Okay, tomorrow.

Take a look. Want some buns?

Yes, give me a steamer.

Okay, I'll wrap it up for you.

Alright.

(Tuanyuan Inn)

Sister,

why did you give up on Liu Fuyi?

Although I dislike him,

I know

you like him.

Let's not talk about this.

Don't you like Miaomiao?

What if I do?

Yes.

What if I do?

You are different from me.

Miaomiao...

Liu Fuyi has feelings for you.

Even I can see it.

It doesn't matter.

I have a deep-seated vendetta.

I should bear the mission alone.

I don't want to involve any innocent outsiders.

Yes.

They are all innocent outsiders.

But with me here,

you will not be alone.

I am your brother,

not by blood,

but we're siblings.

In the past, the world was vast,

and only you and I depended on each other for survival.

Now,

people come and go,

but still just you and I

relying on each other for survival.

Sister,

no matter what vendetta or mission you have,

I am willing to accompany you

and bear it for you.

Okay.

Sheng,

there is something

I need you to help me deal with immediately.

Sister, just give the order.

In Lucheng City seven hundred miles away from here,

there is an aunt married from the Mu Family.

Do you remember?

Yes.

When she got married back then,

she took a Qingshi Skill Manual with her.

It was compiled by the first master of the Mu Family.

After the Mu Family was exterminated,

her copy became the only one left.

Go and help me borrow it.

Haven't you already memorized

its magic skills and spells thoroughly?

I might have some omissions.

Are you sure you want it?

It takes four to five days to reach Lucheng City.

Not even one day can be delayed.

Alright.

Don't return here after you get it.

Let's meet at the post station ahead.

Alright.

Sheng,

take good care of yourself when travelling alone.

Wear more clothes when it's cold.

Use an umbrella when it rains.

Sister, why are you suddenly nagging me?

I'm not a child anymore.

Go now.

- Mother. - Take a look.

- Shall we buy one? - Take a look.

I'll take one.

Alright.

Small pendants.

- Sachets. - See you.

I'm leaving now.

Take a look.

Flowers.

Come and see.

You're back.

Sister Mu,

why did you come back alone?

Where is Miaomiao?

Where is Ziqi?

Where is Young Master Liu?

Little Bamboo Demon,

you should go too.

Where to go?

Go find your grandfather.

Go to the place you want to go.

I want to go with you all.

Aren't we the Four Bamboo Masters?

We are dismissed.

They won't come back again.

What

do you mean?

Didn't Miaomiao say

we Four Bamboo Masters are a team?

We will work together,

put in effort collectively,

and be loyal to each other,

so we will never part ways, right?

Badge.

The badge is still here.

Are we…

really dismissed?

Yes.

(Tuanyuan Inn)

My lady, look,

this is the Phoenix crown for your wedding tomorrow.

These are the gold and jade items for blessings.

These are the gold-thread embroidered shoes for you

to wear tomorrow to step over the saddle.

The wedding garments chose by you and the Marquis

will be delivered here early tomorrow morning.

(Double Happiness)

Got it.

Take them away.

Yes.

Yu,

I'd like to take this folding fan tomorrow.

What do you think of it?

(Graceful and Elegant)

Isn't it graceful and elegant?

It's quite good.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you seem so preoccupied?

Ruoshi,

I feel something strange in my heart.

I feel very melancholic.

It's like I've lost something.

Lost something?

When my father was alive,

he always said so.

Perhaps

it's because the marriage was arranged too hastily.

I have heard

that before getting married,

people are usually nervous and anxious.

Look how foolish I am.

Regarding the marriage,

I just thought we could decide it ourselves

without informing your father.

So, it's understandable for you to feel restless.

Your father is far away in Taicang County,

and he doesn't even know that his dear daughter

is about to get married.

If we go to visit him in the future,

won't he beat me to death?

Yu, let's go.

Where to go?

Write a letter to your father

and inform him before the wedding.

Slow down.

But I don't know what to write.

Then let's write a little less.

Let's write this.

Father,

Ruoshi is good to me.

I'm so happy.

Is that okay?

My Lord, please review tomorrow's betrothal gifts

and list of presents.

Got it.

Take it, Yu.

I'll be right back.

Cuicui.

Miaomiao,

what's wrong with you?

Are you really going to marry him

and then stay in the capital?

Yes.

Didn't you promise to help me find my grandfather?

Have you forgotten?

No, I haven't.

Don't worry.

I've already arranged everything.

My future husband is the supervisor of the Astronomical Bureau.

He can issue proclamations widely

and ask many people to help you find your grandfather.

And they won't hurt him.

But…

- But… - By the way,

help me deliver this letter to the post station

and send it to Taicang County.

Give this to Ziqi.

But aren't we supposed to travel together

and go on adventures?

What does this mean now?

I'm sorry, Cuicui.

I can't go with you now.

I'm counting on you for these things.

Miaomiao,

you are a liar.

You humans are all big liars!

Yao.

You are awake.

Your Highness.

It's me.

I was drunk and behaved improperly.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Young Master Liu,

you might feel dizzy due to the influence of alcohol.

Please sit down.

I'm grateful for your care.

I'm leaving now.

Young Master Liu, where are you going?

If you are returning to the Tuanyuan Inn

to find Miss Mu,

there's no need to go back.

Miss Mu has entrusted you to me.

She says that from now on, she will have no connection with you

and will no longer travel with you.

I know in your heart,

Miss Mu holds a position of immense importance.

But it's okay, I don't mind.

I will wait,

wait for you to see my worth,

and wait for you to forget her.

I will leave the capital

and return to my master to report back.

There is nothing left for me

to hold on to outside.

Your Highness,

please take care.

Young Master Liu,

tomorrow was supposed to be my wedding day.

I pretended to have a nightmare not just to escape the wedding.

The main reason was to force my mother

to widely recruit cultivators,

hoping to get lucky and find you.

But I never expected you would really come.

You don't need to rush to refuse me.

Think it over for another day.

Just one day will do.

Tomorrow, when I put on the wedding gown

and walk to the gate of Xingshan Hall,

if you haven't come

by then,

I will forget you forever.

Is that okay?

I won't go.

But I will wait.

Your Highness,

didn't you say

I was the carefully chosen Saintess?

Your Highness,

didn't you say

being a Saintess is a very fortunate thing?

Why didn't you tell me

that being a Saintess

meant being burned alive?

(Dowager Consort's Chamber)

Your Highness,

what happened to you?

I dreamed of that witch again.

She came to claim my life.

Really, she came again.

So many years have passed.

Why can't Your Highness forget these things?

That wizard was too vicious.

I was so deceived

and caused such a tragedy.

How can you expect me to forget it?

That was all the sin of the wizard.

It has nothing to do with Your Highness.

Cultivator Mu said back then,

this wizard had already perished in the great fire.

Your Highness, please rest assured.

Rest assured.

Your Highness has engaged in vegetarian and done good deeds.

All common people are speaking well of you.

Haven't you heard

that the virtuous are protected by gods?

Even if there are evil people or demons,

they cannot get close.

I hope so.

I hope so.

But this time,

Min was said to be possessed.

Don't you think

it eerily resembles the situation years ago?

In my heart,

I always feel uneasy.

I originally wanted to hold a grand wedding

for Ruoshi and Min,

and use their joyous event

to dispel the bad luck of Xingshan Hall.

But these two children,

neither of them is worry-free.

They truly have worn me out.

I heard that the interior decoration of Xingshan Hall has not been removed.

The wedding ceremony of Marquis

is going to be held as scheduled.

What is Ruoshi up to again?

Who is he going to marry?

Yu,

the custom-made wedding garments has arrived.

Let me take you to see it.

Didn't we choose it in the shop that day?

This one has been tailored to fit you.

Let's go, be careful.

Go ahead.

Alright.

Why is it this one,

not Nimbus?

Although this outfit is quite plain in style,

and its design is outdated,

it does fall short of Nimbus.

However, it is what you like.

Tomorrow is our wedding day,

and also your most important day.

You should wear your favorite clothes.

How about it?

Surprised? Happy?

Ruoshi,

thank you.

When someone likes something,

their eyes can't lie.

That day, when you looked at this gown,

your eyes were shining.

Ziqi,

can you help me pick?

Which one do you like?

I like the one in the center, too!

I…

Yu,

I will give you

whatever you like.

I won't force you

to take what you don't like.

You are the woman I love the most.

I won't allow you

to pressure yourself.

Come, help Your Lady try on the gown.

Come on.

My Lady, let me help you

change into this pair of fortune bracelets first.

My Lord,

someone from the Palace has arrived.

Her Highness comes?

My Lord,

it's Madam Ruyi.

That's good.

It must be Her Highness who knows it,

sending her to ask questions.

Is the Dowager Consort going to oppose our marriage?

Yu, don't worry.

If she is determined to oppose our marriage,

she wouldn't have sent Madam Ruyi here.

You stay calm for now.

I'll go handle it.

Who is Madam Ruyi?

My Lady,

Madam Ruyi was an elder brought into the palace

by the Dowager Consort.

Back in the Marquis Mansion,

the Dowager Consort and the former Master

were both attended to by her.

Former Master?

Is that Ruoshi's father, the late Qingyi Marquis?

Yes.

Our Marquis was also raised under the watchful eye of Madam Ruyi.

He is the closest to her.

Wait a moment.

Madam,

don't listen to the nonsense outside.

I'm not being reckless,

nor is this a whim.

Yu is the one I've decided

to marry.

Please help me speak well to Her Highness.

Marquis,

earlier, you opposed the marriage.

Her Highness hasn't calmed down about it.

Now you've privately decided on a lifelong commitment,

acting first and reporting later.

You say you're not being reckless?

Isn't that because of you?

You spoil me so much

and have the trust of Her Highness.

With such a strong backing like you,

I believe my marriage affairs

will be handled smoothly.

So I have nothing to fear.

Ask her out and let me see.

What do you intend to do?

You are a Marquis,

and now the master of the Zhao Family.

When you take a wife,

Her Highness should send someone to meet, right?

I don't think it's necessary.

My judgment is certainly not poor.

You are protective.

You fear that she comes from a humble family

and I might be picky to her.

Madam,

Yu is the best woman in the world.

I don't…

I do not want others to judge her by her appearance

or family background.

Madam.

Hello, Madam Ruyi.

Yu, why are you here?

I come to serve tea to Madam Ruyi.

That won't do.

No matter how old I am, I'm still just a servant.

There is a distinction between master and servant.

In my eyes, these distinctions have never existed.

You treat Ruoshi like a family member.

How could I avoid seeing you?

Sorry for the inadequate hospitality.

Miss Lin is indeed of good temperament,

amiable and decent.

Enough.

I can't drink your tea for nothing.

I will speak well of you to Her Highness.

Let her be at ease.

That's Great, Yu.

Thank you, Madam.
