[Bloody Romance]
17
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:23,980
Who are you?! What do you want? Don't come any closer!
18
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:31,490
Your hands are a little rough.
19
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:34,950
Your waist is very tight.
20
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,210
It's obvious you came from a poor family;
21
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:43,520
one used to doing heavy work. It's a pity that your hair is withered and yellowed.
22
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,910
Even for people with above average looks, it is not easy to survive here.
23
00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:00,650
If you also have a bad temper, at the same time,
24
00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:03,470
your life would be worse than death.
25
00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:07,360
Don't come any closer! Or else, I'll teach you a lesson!
26
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:10,280
With your capabilities?
27
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,570
You wouldn't be able to kill anyone with this hairpin.
28
00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:55,200
I'd better take it from you. It's not useful to you, anyway.
29
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,870
Since you're a brave one,
30
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,680
I'll be gracious and not hold this against you.
31
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,550
You're better than those who only know how to cry.
32
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:11,820
You look so plain and unhealthy.
33
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,000
I have a hairpin that suits you better.
34
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,630
Do you know when this hairpin looks the prettiest?
35
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,590
Not when it's in your hair,
36
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:33,010
but when it's in another's flesh. See the groove here?
37
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,050
It can hold exactly one drop of poison.
38
00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:40,530
A deadly drop of poison.
39
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:45,210
Didn't you want to kill me? This hairpin
40
00:04:45,210 --> 00:04:50,040
is simple but elegant. It suits you.
41
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,370
Make your move whenever you're ready.
42
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:14,990
Can I look at myself in the mirror?
43
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,220
- Where is this place?! Let me go!
- Do you have somewhere else to go?
44
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,770
Is there someone waiting for you?
45
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:05,220
Since that's the case, why don't you stay here?
46
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:08,720
At least, this is a place you can stay in.
47
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,530
I might also stay behind to serve you.
48
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,310
Who are you?
49
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:21,660
I am Chang An.
50
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,110
Where exactly is this place?
51
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:29,120
Guihua City.
52
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:35,120
If you want to learn more, hold back your anger
53
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,950
and live on to find out the truth.
54
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,940
The new arrivals may come to Chuixing Tower after washing up.
55
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:51,840
[Yunjing Pavilion]
56
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,850
Time to rise. Wash up, girls.
57
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,150
Miss, go ahead.
58
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:37,760
Chang An. May I call you that?
59
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,000
As you like, Miss.
60
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,390
Do you also think... that I should live on?
61
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:50,580
This is where the living die.
62
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:54,020
It is also where the dead can live.
63
00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:57,800
There is a limit to what I can do for you.
64
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,980
You must choose which path to take.
65
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,420
How interesting. She managed to make it in.
66
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,180
You are Miss Yue Ying, right? On my way here, people told me that you saved me.
67
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:03,400
I didn't save you, you saved yourself.
68
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,250
I will take you to see the person you should see, but think it over carefully.
69
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:12,320
There are many things in this world that are more frightening than death.
70
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,340
Staying alive may not be a good thing.
71
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:31,030
Call one of them Wan Mei.
72
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:53,980
Not a bad aroma. You are quite filial.
73
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:56,930
From now on, you will be called Wan Xiang.
74
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,120
Thank you for the name, City Master.
75
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,130
Report! City Master, Miss Yue Ying has arrived.
76
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,630
Have her come in.
77
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,190
City Master!
78
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:38,150
Gong Zi ordered me to bring her here to get a name from you.
79
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,320
Yue Ying! I'm not trying to scold you.
80
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,760
You haven't been here for a long time,
81
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,310
but you are at the Supreme Assassin level.
82
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:55,430
Why are you becoming less and less knowledgeable?
83
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:58,380
What is this place?
84
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,570
Guihua City!
85
00:11:01,570 --> 00:11:07,000
When did Guihua City become a place where just anybody can come in?
86
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,730
Those who can hold a position here
87
00:11:10,730 --> 00:11:13,960
have all gone through multiple obstacles.
88
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:19,650
How can she be spared from torture just based on one word from Gong Zi?
89
00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:22,130
Do you see these two people?
90
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,400
If they hadn't passed through multiple types of tests,
91
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,680
they wouldn't be qualified to enter here, Chuixing Pavilion.
92
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:34,090
I am Gong Zi's subordinate. I only act under his orders.
93
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:39,120
As for whether or not you will do it, that has nothing to do with me. It's your decision.
94
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,000
But I'd like to remind you.
95
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,260
In Guihua City, the person who can create the rules,
96
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:47,820
naturally, is Guihua City's Master.
97
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:53,300
And no matter how unknowledgeable I am, I can still remember
98
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:55,700
who the real master is.
99
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:10,920
Those words,
100
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:14,200
are quite meaningful!
101
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:35,100
Why don't you tell me where Gong Zi went and what he did?
102
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:38,810
Also, were is this little lady from?
103
00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:55,070
City Master! My name is Su Qixue!
104
00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:58,370
After I was plotted against, Miss Yue Ying saved me!
105
00:12:58,370 --> 00:13:03,380
I have no one to depend on now. I can only live through Guihua City.
106
00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:05,870
Please take me in!
107
00:13:13,570 --> 00:13:17,680
If you want to ask anything, you don't need to get it from me! Just go ask Gong Zi!
108
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:21,090
I do not dare to disobey Gong Zi's words.
109
00:13:21,090 --> 00:13:24,830
But at least I can still
110
00:13:24,830 --> 00:13:27,480
punish rude juniors!
111
00:13:37,890 --> 00:13:42,250
I am old. I need some exercise now and then.
112
00:13:42,250 --> 00:13:46,460
If I really get into a fight, injuries are not a big issue.
113
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:50,420
It would not be good if our relationship was harmed.
114
00:13:54,930 --> 00:13:57,530
Your looks aren't bad.
115
00:13:58,790 --> 00:14:00,930
What was your name again?
116
00:14:02,090 --> 00:14:03,390
Su Qixue.
117
00:14:03,390 --> 00:14:06,580
You... weren't afraid just now?
118
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:09,240
I was.
119
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:13,970
But I can still handle it!
120
00:14:14,830 --> 00:14:19,680
Not only are you good looking, you are brave as well.
121
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,450
She is stronger than others.
122
00:14:23,450 --> 00:14:25,570
The City Master knows even the smallest detail.
123
00:14:25,570 --> 00:14:29,870
But Miss, are you really willing to stay at Guihua City?
124
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,060
I am willing!
125
00:14:37,060 --> 00:14:40,720
Then stay. Once you are in Guihua City,
126
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,190
do not ever mention your past again.
127
00:14:43,190 --> 00:14:46,810
From now on, your name will be Wan Mei.
128
00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:51,410
Your Shadow will teach you properly.
129
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:55,290
C-City Master! Didn't you already give me the name Wan Mei?
130
00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:58,460
City Master, did you forget?
131
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,170
Are you questioning me?
132
00:15:02,170 --> 00:15:03,910
C-City Master!
133
00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:07,370
Wan Xiang! Did I give her a name just now?
134
00:15:07,370 --> 00:15:09,910
City Master, you liked the fragrance I made,
135
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:11,820
so you gave me the name Wan Xiang.
136
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:14,740
As for when this lady got a name...
137
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:19,220
I do not know. Either my memories have failed me
138
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:22,330
or she misunderstood your words.
139
00:15:22,330 --> 00:15:24,710
Now the candidate list
140
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:27,060
is full.
141
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:31,030
City Master! City Master! City Master!
142
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:34,930
You said that as long as I gave up love and emotions, I could become an Earthly Assassin candidate!
143
00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:39,050
I don't want to go back to being someone's servant anymore! I'm begging you, please let me stay!
144
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:42,040
Then I was wrong! You should forget what happened!
145
00:15:43,070 --> 00:15:48,140
City Master! City Master! Let me stay! City Master!
146
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:52,440
City Master, you cannot be like this! City Master!
147
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,190
With one word from Gong Zi, I broke my promise again.
148
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:58,830
Goodbye then!
149
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:05,950
You don't need to follow me.
150
00:16:05,950 --> 00:16:08,910
From now on, I will only call you Wan Mei.
151
00:16:08,910 --> 00:16:13,480
You don't know who I am and I do not care what happens to you in the future.
152
00:16:59,010 --> 00:17:01,320
Thank you for taking me in!
153
00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:06,110
Torture Chamber Master, I'm tired.
154
00:17:06,110 --> 00:17:10,790
Take Wan Mei and Wan Xiang to pick their Shadows.
155
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:29,880
Bring me my whip!
156
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,950
You are trying to guess what type of person I am.
157
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:45,390
I am quite curious.
158
00:17:45,390 --> 00:17:47,660
I am your enemy.
159
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:51,490
I was at Dingxiang Pavilion last night, too. To enter Guihua City,
160
00:17:51,490 --> 00:17:56,210
I prepared for over half a year. I was just about to finish the last test.
161
00:17:56,210 --> 00:17:58,260
Then, you suddenly appeared.
162
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:00,670
You destroyed all my plans.
163
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,970
But you still got in!
164
00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:05,950
Getting in is just the first step.
165
00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:09,360
If you want to live at ease here,
166
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,180
you must stretch yourself to the limit at all times.
167
00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:14,900
Also,
168
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:21,970
if you fail in your mission, you will pay with your life.
169
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:26,950
Do you know? There is only one vacant Earthly Assassin position.
170
00:18:29,570 --> 00:18:32,760
Let me tell you something. That position,
171
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,090
can only be mine.
172
00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:39,690
Your confidence is great!
173
00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:58,910
Pick one from among these people to be your Shadow.
174
00:18:58,910 --> 00:19:05,770
In the future, you will be with him in your daily lives, training, and carrying out missions.
175
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,500
Chang An!
176
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:13,120
His name is Chang An. His previous master failed in her mission and died.
177
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:17,760
If he cannot find a new master within seven days,
178
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,960
he can only die, too.
179
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,840
Then how long has he been waiting?
180
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,130
Exactly seven days.
181
00:19:28,130 --> 00:19:30,800
How useless.
182
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,290
Since it's like that, give him to me!
183
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,890
You traitors!
184
00:19:42,550 --> 00:19:45,190
Let's see if you dare to do it again!
185
00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:46,990
City Master.
186
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:00,190
You may leave first.
187
00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:11,230
What? Are you still thinking about Yue Ying's words?
188
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:17,680
If he dares to send people in as he pleases today,
189
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,530
who knows what he will do tomorrow?
190
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,600
If not for his identity, I would have already--
191
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,820
Don't fret. Come.
192
00:20:32,370 --> 00:20:35,120
It is not time yet.
193
00:20:36,030 --> 00:20:40,570
That's why I held it in! And that girl!
194
00:20:40,570 --> 00:20:45,060
What does she count as? She was so rude!
195
00:20:45,060 --> 00:20:50,090
She utilized Yue Ying's support to act so arrogantly with me. She wants to become an Earthly Assassin?
196
00:20:50,090 --> 00:20:54,890
Once she is in my hands, will she still be able to live well?
197
00:20:54,890 --> 00:20:59,160
You are the City Master. If you want to punish a junior,
198
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,130
it is extremely easy to do!
199
00:21:05,780 --> 00:21:09,940
Now that I think about it, you are right.
200
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:13,690
Go and create a
201
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:16,610
unique box of rouge.
202
00:21:16,610 --> 00:21:20,730
Tomorrow at the welcome feast, I will personally give it to her.
203
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:23,370
It will be my welcome gift.
204
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:27,400
I think you have a second order.
205
00:21:28,140 --> 00:21:34,120
You can add some corpse powder of frost-winged gu cicadas to it. (Gu - poison / poisonous)
206
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:42,350
[Yunjing Pavilion]
207
00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:49,320
- You have set times when the doors are opened and closed?
- Yes.
208
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:52,480
This place is quite interesting!
209
00:21:54,170 --> 00:21:57,000
There are indeed many interesting things,
210
00:21:58,170 --> 00:22:01,590
but not many of them sound pleasant.
211
00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:04,550
Hey, tell me!
212
00:22:04,850 --> 00:22:07,200
You are nothing right now, Master.
213
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,940
You still need to go through an interview and a qualification competition
214
00:22:09,940 --> 00:22:12,390
before you can become an Earthly Assassin.
215
00:22:13,420 --> 00:22:14,270
Earthly Assassin?
216
00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:17,720
Guihua City is a city of assassins. It survives on business from the Jianghu. (Jianghu - Martial Arts community)
217
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,420
Earthly Assassins are the lowest ranked.
218
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:26,070
But I don't know any martial arts! How can I become an assassin?
219
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:29,110
Just like there are different ways to make women's makeup,
220
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:33,590
killing is the same. Your beauty and your courage
221
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:36,250
will be your biggest weapons.
222
00:22:36,250 --> 00:22:40,160
When you get to the point where you need martial arts, you have me, your Shadow.
223
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,050
After all, Shadows are meant for completing rough and dirty tasks.
224
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:50,850
Torture Chamber Master said that in my future daily life,
225
00:22:50,850 --> 00:22:54,300
training, and completing missions, I will be with you.
226
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:58,830
Yes. I will do as you say.
227
00:23:00,970 --> 00:23:03,100
I will follow you like a shadow.
228
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:16,280
You are only living here temporarily. Once you become an Earthly Assassin,
229
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,820
you will move to the Earthly Assassin Courtyard.
230
00:23:18,820 --> 00:23:22,660
What if I fail to become an Earthly Assassin? What will happen to me?
231
00:23:25,290 --> 00:23:28,390
If you are lucky, you will be kicked out of Guihua City.
232
00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:32,830
Then... what if I'm not lucky?
233
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,000
What?
234
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,960
Today is your first day in Guihua City.
235
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,310
I hope you will have a good sleep.
236
00:23:47,330 --> 00:23:51,760
Everyone is so mysterious! You and Miss Yue Ying both are!
237
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,250
If, during the welcome feast tomorrow,
238
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:57,320
you pass City Master Cha Luo's interview,
239
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,200
I will tell you everything.
240
00:24:03,010 --> 00:24:07,250
Then what am I supposed to do right now? Practice martial arts or play with (devising) stratagems?
241
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:10,880
What you need to do now is to bathe and preserve your skin.
242
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,600
Your skin is a little rough. It is not as soft and white as the other girls.
243
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,090
You must nourish it more.
244
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:24,620
I think it's quite nice!
245
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:29,340
It is easy to know if it is good or not. Put one drop of water on it.
246
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:33,250
Let the water flow from top to bottom. If your skin is not damaged, the water drop will not become divided.
247
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:37,250
If you are confident, you can give it a try.
248
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,090
I still think it's quite nice!
249
00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:51,980
[Tingzhu Courtyard]
250
00:24:53,650 --> 00:24:55,510
[Tingzhu Courtyard]
251
00:25:12,020 --> 00:25:16,020
Then, Cha Luo took that girl in
252
00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:18,060
and gave her the name Wan Mei?
253
00:25:18,060 --> 00:25:21,120
Yes. But I think
254
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,810
Cha Luo hasn't given in so easily.
255
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:28,760
I think Wan Mei is in trouble.
256
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:34,040
If you have something to say, just go ahead.
257
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,440
There are no other girls other than me here in Tingzhu Courtyard.
258
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600
I am often away.
259
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,930
You need someone to take care of you, Gong Zi.
260
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,910
I'm used to being alone.
261
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,010
If I weren't a prince,
262
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:56,170
I wouldn't even want the ten soldiers by my side.
263
00:25:59,780 --> 00:26:01,460
Or do you think
264
00:26:01,460 --> 00:26:05,170
a blind person like me must (always) have someone to care for him?
265
00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:08,160
I do not dare.
266
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:18,440
Yue Ying, you still don't understand why I made this move.
267
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:24,100
Whether she is Su Qixue or Wan Mei,
268
00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:27,540
to me, it’s all insignificant.
269
00:26:29,690 --> 00:26:33,640
I had you bring her over because I wanted to remind Cha Luo
270
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,510
that I always get a large amount of news here in Tingzhu Courtyard.
271
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,670
The more she can't retain her composure,
272
00:26:40,670 --> 00:26:44,050
the higher the chances she will show her weakness.
273
00:26:44,050 --> 00:26:46,680
After all, there are many days to come.
274
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,960
I'm just gambling against her
275
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,760
as far as time.
276
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,750
Welcome to Guihua City, Sisters!
277
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:10,640
From now on, this will be your home.
278
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,400
A lot of people in the Jianghu realm question our existence.
279
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,830
In their eyes, all the sects in this world
280
00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:20,350
must be strictly good or strictly evil.
281
00:27:20,350 --> 00:27:23,580
But here in Guihua City, we have never concealed ourselves.
282
00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:27,500
We only do assassination business.
283
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:32,200
No matter who it is, as long as they are on our Assassination List,
284
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,060
they have no chance of surviving.
285
00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:39,780
So, at tonight's feast, I would like to thank you all
286
00:27:39,780 --> 00:27:42,680
for your trust in Guihua City.
287
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,930
I will also pick girls among you of superior appearance,
288
00:27:47,930 --> 00:27:50,750
bestow upon them the distinction of a flower ornament,
289
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:54,980
and give them the right to compete in the Earthly Assassin selection.
290
00:28:00,710 --> 00:28:02,820
Wan Chun!
291
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,120
Wan Xia!
292
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,050
Wan Qiu!
293
00:28:26,910 --> 00:28:28,740
Wan Dong!
294
00:28:35,850 --> 00:28:37,710
Wan Xiang!
295
00:29:15,810 --> 00:29:17,800
Wan Mei!
296
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:48,010
Among these girls, you are the prettiest.
297
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,350
Come, let me take a good look at you.
298
00:30:05,930 --> 00:30:10,160
Sit! Sit!
299
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,540
City Master, please punish me. My Master is new and doesn't know the rules.
300
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:21,620
She doesn't know that others cannot sit in your seat!
301
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:25,260
Please spare her this once!
302
00:30:30,990 --> 00:30:35,810
I did not intend to do this! Please be understanding!
303
00:30:35,810 --> 00:30:39,750
Don't be afraid! Since I made you sit,
304
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:42,120
you are not at fault.
305
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,460
There is only one City Master. I don't dare act rashly.
306
00:30:47,950 --> 00:30:50,940
You are a child who understands rules.
307
00:30:52,580 --> 00:30:56,090
Since you are so obedient,
308
00:30:56,090 --> 00:30:59,850
how could I punish you?
309
00:30:59,850 --> 00:31:04,250
I was too careless today.
310
00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:09,080
Xing Feng! Bring me that high-quality rouge.
311
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,350
Give it to Wan Mei.
312
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,910
City Master, I cannot possibly accept!
313
00:31:14,910 --> 00:31:18,830
If I want to give it to you, then just take it.
314
00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:21,520
Xing Feng! Go on.
315
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,930
Yes, City Master.
316
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:35,760
Master, do not forsake City Master's good intentions.
317
00:32:03,870 --> 00:32:08,090
Chang An! Do you want to smell it? This rouge smells really nice!
318
00:32:09,430 --> 00:32:11,950
I just don't know if it can maintain its beauty
319
00:32:11,950 --> 00:32:14,510
if it's out here too long under the sun.
320
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:16,920
City Master gave you rouge.
321
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,180
It may not be a good thing.
322
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,870
I know! City Master treats me like a target.
323
00:32:26,870 --> 00:32:30,910
But everything here depends on ability. I don't need to beg them.
324
00:32:30,910 --> 00:32:34,760
We have nothing to do with each other. What could she do to me?
325
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,350
Prevent troubles before they start. It's better to be more careful.
326
00:32:38,350 --> 00:32:41,810
You are too suspicious.
327
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,700
Is it because your previous Master failed,
328
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:52,920
so you're being very careful?
329
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:58,750
If you doubt my ability, you should not have chosen me, Master.
330
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:04,570
I don't like the way you talk.
331
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,110
In Guihua City, if you fail, you may die without even an intact corpse.
332
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:13,950
Reminding you more often is my job.
333
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Then you must protect me even more!
334
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,030
You are my second master. If you fail,
335
00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:24,060
I will die a terrible death.
336
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:27,250
So I will work hard, but not for your sake.
337
00:33:27,250 --> 00:33:29,330
It will be for myself.
338
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,960
Neither of us has a second chance.
339
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:41,650
Naturally, we will work harder than others.
340
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:50,640
Let's go. Take me to see Guihua City.
341
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,370
Yes.
342
00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:54,830
Guihua City used to be Empress Wu Zitian's secret bureau.
343
00:33:54,830 --> 00:33:59,430
After she retired, it became part of the Jianghu realm and does business there.
344
00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:01,860
The city has survived for a few hundred years.
345
00:34:01,860 --> 00:34:06,600
The entire mountain you see belongs to Guihua City.
346
00:34:08,700 --> 00:34:11,860
Where you are now living is called the Yunjing Pavilion.
347
00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:14,510
It is the lowest ranked place in Guihua City.
348
00:34:14,510 --> 00:34:17,750
It is for girls who've newly entered Guihua City.
349
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,890
This is the Earthly Assassin Courtyard.
350
00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:26,790
There are twelve identical courtyards within, one for each Earthly Assassin.
351
00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:30,350
Earthly Assassins are assassins, but they have no martial arts or internal power.
352
00:34:30,350 --> 00:34:33,730
They only use their beauty and intellect to complete their missions.
353
00:34:33,730 --> 00:34:36,590
There are four Heavenly Assassin Courtyards.
354
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:39,750
They are evenly spaced halfway up the mountain of Guihua City.
355
00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:42,450
Heavenly Assassins are ranked one rank higher than Earthly Assassins.
356
00:34:42,450 --> 00:34:46,050
They can undergo martial arts and internal power training.
357
00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:50,980
Compared to Earthly Assassins, Heavenly Assassins have more freedom of movement.
358
00:34:50,980 --> 00:34:54,320
When you become an Earthly Assassin, you will be given an oil-paper umbrella.
359
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,390
This umbrella contains a drop of gu blood.
360
00:34:57,390 --> 00:35:01,860
Every time you kill someone, the umbrella will draw out the blood and turn it red once.
361
00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:07,150
A golden flower will then appear on the umbrella. It is called the "Golden Lily that Bursts from Earth."
362
00:35:07,820 --> 00:35:10,800
After you kill ten people, there will be ten "golden lilies."
363
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,380
In the tenth lily, there is a gu blood insect
364
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:18,200
for the umbrella's master to use. When the gu insect enters her blood, her internal power will greatly increase.
365
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,390
Then she may become a Heavenly Assassin.
366
00:35:26,530 --> 00:35:32,200
[Supreme Assassin Courtyard]
367
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,060
This is the Supreme Assassin Courtyard. Guihua City has two Supreme Assassins,
368
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:39,520
but there is only one Supreme Assassin within the Courtyard now.
369
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,810
Why?
370
00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:43,560
The other Supreme Assassin is called Yue Ying.
371
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,430
She was the young lady who led you to Chuixing Tower yesterday.
372
00:35:46,430 --> 00:35:51,010
She lives elsewhere and is not under City Master Cha Luo's control.
373
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,390
Chang An, you're just in time!
374
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:59,830
Master Liu Guang has approved the medicines you wanted.
375
00:35:59,830 --> 00:36:03,180
She said for you to pick them up in Suiguzi when you have time.
376
00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:04,870
Thank you.
377
00:36:17,470 --> 00:36:19,560
Why did you come here?
378
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,200
What is this place?
379
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:25,660
Ancestral temple.
380
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,850
It is a place to pay respects... to dead assassins?
381
00:36:29,850 --> 00:36:35,780
Pay respects? Look at how broken down this place is, does this look like respect?
382
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:40,960
Guihua City has many rules.
383
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,350
They cruelly torture people.
384
00:36:43,350 --> 00:36:48,060
Whenever a Supreme Assassin challenges the City Master and succeeds in gaining the position,
385
00:36:48,060 --> 00:36:52,290
they will use cruel methods to torture the previous City Master for revenge.
386
00:36:52,290 --> 00:36:55,530
So ever since Guihua City was established,
387
00:36:55,530 --> 00:36:57,670
no one has ever paid respects to the dead.
388
00:36:57,670 --> 00:37:00,760
They just write down the previous City Master's name
389
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,370
and leave it in this broken down temple.
390
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:08,010
Only City Masters?
391
00:37:08,010 --> 00:37:12,220
Guihua City will not keep useless people around.
392
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:16,760
The same goes for the names of useless people.
393
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,180
The building with the white top is the Jigu Pavilion. Inside are makeup masters and tailors.
394
00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:25,200
Your daily necessities, makeup, clothes,
395
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,880
and every kind of poison or gu insect are provided by them.
396
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,530
Supreme Assassin Liu Guang is in charge of it all.
397
00:37:31,530 --> 00:37:34,910
The one with the long green corridor is the Suiguzi Pavilion.
398
00:37:34,910 --> 00:37:38,810
Inside, there are doctors and pharmacists. The buying and mixing of medicine
399
00:37:38,810 --> 00:37:43,020
is the job of Xing Feng, the Torture Chamber Master.
400
00:37:43,020 --> 00:37:47,680
Rewards and punishments are decided by the Torture Chamber. Qiantong monitors its investigations and interrogations.
401
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,000
In addition, attendants, kitchen servants, and hundreds of others
402
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,190
live behind Yunjing Pavilion. If not for a special reason, they will never come outside.
403
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,820
Miss Yan Qin.
404
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,900
Your vital gate is purplish black and your linea alba now reaches your ear.
405
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:08,400
Miss, I don't think you can live for much longer!
406
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,850
Miss Yan Qin, you have been at Guihua City for a long time.
407
00:38:10,850 --> 00:38:15,070
Receiving your advice is Master Wan Mei's honor.
408
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:24,830
Master, it is getting late. We should go back.
409
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:37,390
[Yunjing Pavilion]
410
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,020
Master.
411
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,700
You have to begin practicing for the Earthly Assassin candidacy test tomorrow.
412
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:04,800
You should sleep early.
413
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:14,390
That Yan Qin is one of the four Heavenly Assassins.
414
00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:19,190
She is rude and insolent. You don't have to lower yourself to her level.
415
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:26,870
I am from a low class. It was already very hard for me to get here alive!
416
00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:28,760
I will not argue with others.
417
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,890
You may come from a poor family, but you are not from a low class.
418
00:39:32,890 --> 00:39:36,650
I believe that since you are here in Guihua City,
419
00:39:36,650 --> 00:39:39,280
you should forget the past.
420
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,460
Act according to Guihua City's rules
421
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:45,330
and create a new path for yourself.
422
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,420
But I've never killed someone before.
423
00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:53,860
If you don't like it,
424
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:57,770
you can let others kill you. For example,
425
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:00,690
that girl named Wan Xiang.
426
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:05,590
It is late. Go back inside and sleep.
427
00:40:24,300 --> 00:40:27,560
Master, you are afraid of the dark?
428
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,140
I'm not very used to it.
429
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:35,520
When is Guihua City ever not dark as night?
430
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,470
Master, light will not reach this place.
431
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:03,000
