[ Episode 25 ]
9
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:39,372
If that's the case, does that mean you've been to Wudi City 20 years ago?
10
00:01:39,372 --> 00:01:41,876
We fought within the capital.
11
00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:45,653
Did Wang Xianzhi visit the capital before?
12
00:01:45,653 --> 00:01:46,972
How come no one knows about that?
13
00:01:46,972 --> 00:01:48,612
Something huge happened on that night.
14
00:01:48,612 --> 00:01:51,676
All related news was covered up.
15
00:01:52,730 --> 00:01:55,337
More than 20 years ago?
16
00:01:56,636 --> 00:01:59,153
What happened within the capital more than 20 years ago?
17
00:01:59,153 --> 00:02:02,800
If I hadn't encountered Wang Xianzhi, on that night,
18
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,790
I'm afraid Wu Su would have had no chance to leave the capital alive.
19
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:12,536
Wu Su?
20
00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:16,097
Wu Su?
21
00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:18,797
The consort of Beiliang?
22
00:02:19,837 --> 00:02:23,552
That lass is the most talented swordswoman
23
00:02:23,552 --> 00:02:26,117
within the Wu family so far.
24
00:02:26,157 --> 00:02:30,157
The consort of Beiliang was assaulted in the capital?
25
00:02:30,157 --> 00:02:34,070
Although she was seriously injured, she did manage to make it out alive.
26
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:38,816
If that battle didn't take place, she wouldn't have died this early in her life.
27
00:02:38,816 --> 00:02:43,636
Why is there no news about such a huge matter?
28
00:02:43,636 --> 00:02:45,133
Success comes from maintaining secrecy while failure comes from exposing secrecy.
29
00:02:45,157 --> 00:02:47,012
while failure comes from exposing secrecy.
30
00:02:47,036 --> 00:02:48,773
It's precisely because it's a huge matter that they need to keep it a secret.
31
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:58,917
So was the assassination attempt in the capital under the late emperor's order?
32
00:02:59,676 --> 00:03:02,356
Why else do you think I had the guts to strike?
33
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:07,117
The state was just founded not long ago back then.
34
00:03:07,117 --> 00:03:09,756
Why did they attack the consort of Beiliang?
35
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:11,736
Xu Xiao had annihilated six states.
36
00:03:11,756 --> 00:03:14,812
He had rendered countless merits and there was no longer anything to reward him with.
37
00:03:14,812 --> 00:03:17,337
But, at this timing,
38
00:03:17,337 --> 00:03:21,017
we received news of Wu Su's pregnancy.
39
00:03:21,017 --> 00:03:24,413
Before this, Xu Xiao only has daughters.
40
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:25,892
Everything was still fine.
41
00:03:25,892 --> 00:03:29,176
But, what if Beiliang got its heir?
42
00:03:29,176 --> 00:03:33,916
Countless people won't be able to sleep at night.
43
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:41,116
Since Wu Su wasn't dead, why didn't Xu Xiao stage a rebellion?
44
00:03:41,116 --> 00:03:43,576
the capital has been on tenterhooks for many years.
45
00:03:43,576 --> 00:03:48,356
Even now, they still harbor the same question.
46
00:03:48,356 --> 00:03:51,558
Back then, she was injured from the assassination attempt.
47
00:03:51,558 --> 00:03:55,313
After she returned to Beiliang, she told me nothing.
48
00:03:58,210 --> 00:04:00,252
I had a bad temper back then.
49
00:04:00,252 --> 00:04:01,752
If I knew about this,
50
00:04:01,752 --> 00:04:05,056
I would surely attack the capital.
51
00:04:06,637 --> 00:04:10,317
So, when did you learn about this?
52
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:12,737
After I had Longxiang.
53
00:04:13,477 --> 00:04:15,536
She was suffering a relapse.
54
00:04:15,536 --> 00:04:17,293
Only then, I knew about the truth.
55
00:04:17,293 --> 00:04:19,317
But, at that time,
56
00:04:19,317 --> 00:04:22,096
I already had sons and daughters.
57
00:04:22,156 --> 00:04:25,272
You need to know this. When you have a family to look after, you will have many concerns
58
00:04:25,272 --> 00:04:27,556
before you make a decision.
59
00:04:28,330 --> 00:04:30,337
She understands me the best.
60
00:04:30,337 --> 00:04:32,633
She was afraid I might plunge the world into chaos again.
61
00:04:32,633 --> 00:04:37,032
That's why she only told me the truth at the very last second.
62
00:04:38,077 --> 00:04:42,053
I would never win against her in this lifetime.
63
00:04:43,876 --> 00:04:46,897
The consort had spent a lot of effort indeed.
64
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:54,853
I did promise her that I wouldn't attack the capital because of this.
65
00:04:54,853 --> 00:04:57,756
But, I didn't say that I wouldn't seek revenge.
66
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:03,653
Since she wasn't willing to tell me who attacked her,
67
00:05:03,653 --> 00:05:05,697
I'll find it out myself.
68
00:05:05,697 --> 00:05:10,197
No matter who it is, I won't let any of them off.
69
00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:14,057
Yang Taisui,
70
00:05:14,057 --> 00:05:16,617
I'm telling you this
71
00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:19,917
to show you my determination.
72
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:24,437
Now,
73
00:05:25,530 --> 00:05:28,137
tell me who that person is.
74
00:05:31,390 --> 00:05:36,457
Wang Xianzhi appeared in the capital on that night.
75
00:05:36,457 --> 00:05:39,157
Wang Xianzhi from Wudi City?
76
00:05:42,010 --> 00:05:44,737
I wasn't willing to tell you
77
00:05:44,737 --> 00:05:47,696
because I thought something was amiss.
78
00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:51,656
I know Her Highness was the goddess of blades,
79
00:05:51,656 --> 00:05:56,072
but she was still no match for Wang Xianzhi.
80
00:05:57,356 --> 00:06:00,476
Only a few people can fight Wang Xianzhi
81
00:06:00,476 --> 00:06:02,517
on an equal level.
82
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:07,557
If Wang Xianzhi had attacked her on that night,
83
00:06:07,557 --> 00:06:11,657
I'm afraid Her Highness would've diedwithin the capital.
84
00:06:14,530 --> 00:06:16,037
There's one more thing.
85
00:06:16,037 --> 00:06:18,616
This is the piece of news I've received just now.
86
00:06:18,616 --> 00:06:22,296
Just when His Highness decided to head to Wudi City,
87
00:06:22,296 --> 00:06:24,017
I received news
88
00:06:24,017 --> 00:06:27,496
that Wang Xianzhi appeared in the capital on that night.
89
00:06:27,496 --> 00:06:30,517
Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?
90
00:06:30,517 --> 00:06:32,377
Is this news true or false?
91
00:06:32,377 --> 00:06:35,576
I've verified it. It is true.
92
00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:41,937
The one who leaked the news
93
00:06:41,937 --> 00:06:44,776
wants me to rush to Wudi City.
94
00:06:44,776 --> 00:06:46,912
The best-case scenario is for me to die in Wang Xianzhi's hands.
95
00:06:46,912 --> 00:06:51,173
That way, everyone will have a happy ending.
96
00:06:51,173 --> 00:06:54,197
I'm glad you understand that.
97
00:06:55,690 --> 00:06:57,757
Do you have carrier pigeons that fly to Jiangnan?
98
00:06:57,757 --> 00:06:59,657
Lend them to me.
99
00:07:00,450 --> 00:07:02,933
Fengnian will head to Wudi City eventually.
100
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:05,537
I'll ask him to interrogate Wang Xianzhi personally.
101
00:07:08,330 --> 00:07:10,777
Wang Xianzhi
102
00:07:10,777 --> 00:07:12,716
has an erratic temper.
103
00:07:12,716 --> 00:07:14,012
And His Highness is...
104
00:07:14,012 --> 00:07:15,976
He acts in a bossy manner.
105
00:07:15,976 --> 00:07:17,697
I'm afraid
106
00:07:17,697 --> 00:07:20,297
this would harm His Highness.
107
00:07:21,130 --> 00:07:23,136
You don't understand.
108
00:07:23,136 --> 00:07:26,056
If I don't tell him this news,
109
00:07:26,056 --> 00:07:28,436
he will hate me to the core.
110
00:07:29,890 --> 00:07:32,177
In Fengnian's heart,
111
00:07:32,177 --> 00:07:34,217
he had never gotten over
112
00:07:34,217 --> 00:07:37,136
his mother's death.
113
00:07:53,010 --> 00:07:55,477
Sir, if you're unable to leave Mount Longhu,
114
00:07:55,477 --> 00:07:57,157
I have a solution for you.
115
00:07:57,157 --> 00:08:01,853
I suppose Xu Fengnian and his people will drop by Mount Longhu to visit his brother, Xu Longxiang.
116
00:08:01,853 --> 00:08:04,436
By then, I'll try to lure him here.
117
00:08:04,436 --> 00:08:06,716
Sir, please attack him by then.
118
00:08:07,690 --> 00:08:11,253
I'm not sure I can win against Li Chungang.
119
00:08:11,253 --> 00:08:14,456
Is the God of Blades that terrifying?
120
00:08:14,456 --> 00:08:18,633
Moreover, Xu Fengnian mustn't die yet.
121
00:08:18,633 --> 00:08:22,596
Liyang can't stand it if Beiliang stages a rebellion.
122
00:08:23,317 --> 00:08:25,676
Xu Fengnian
123
00:08:25,676 --> 00:08:27,917
is concealing his true abilities on purpose.
124
00:08:27,917 --> 00:08:30,716
He's definitely not a good-for-nothing.
125
00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:35,453
If he does take over Beiliang, he'll be a huge threat to the state.
126
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:42,676
We cannot kill him, but we can ruin him.
127
00:08:42,676 --> 00:08:43,892
Sir, what do you mean?
128
00:08:43,892 --> 00:08:45,372
Look.
129
00:08:45,372 --> 00:08:46,653
There's a piece of rock over there.
130
00:08:46,653 --> 00:08:48,777
Flip it over.
131
00:08:53,957 --> 00:08:55,957
Flip it over.
132
00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:03,613
[ Wu Su's Life Events ]
Wu Su's Life Events?
133
00:09:03,613 --> 00:09:04,993
What is this for?
134
00:09:04,993 --> 00:09:07,993
If we want to put someone under my control,
135
00:09:07,993 --> 00:09:12,717
the most important thing is to disrupt the target's mind.
136
00:09:12,717 --> 00:09:16,012
You were shocked by the Imperial Seal.
137
00:09:16,012 --> 00:09:18,896
That's why you fell under my control immediately.
138
00:09:18,896 --> 00:09:23,913
It's because the throne is the most important thing to you in your heart.
139
00:09:25,197 --> 00:09:26,836
As for Xu Fengnian,
140
00:09:26,836 --> 00:09:31,013
I've read about him and the events that had happened to him.
141
00:09:31,013 --> 00:09:33,293
From the details,
142
00:09:33,293 --> 00:09:36,153
I realized that Wu Su
143
00:09:36,153 --> 00:09:38,637
is very precious to him.
144
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:41,817
So, this book
145
00:09:41,817 --> 00:09:45,197
can disrupt Xu Fengnian's mind easily.
146
00:09:45,770 --> 00:09:47,393
Words alone aren't enough.
147
00:09:47,393 --> 00:09:49,173
On some of the pages,
148
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:51,416
there are different diagrams and designs.
149
00:09:51,416 --> 00:09:55,853
I do not need to utilize this skill by myself necessarily.
150
00:09:55,853 --> 00:09:57,173
Through the diagrams,
151
00:09:57,173 --> 00:10:02,393
I can influence one's inner emotions without them knowing it.
152
00:10:03,516 --> 00:10:06,836
But, why do I feel nothing when I look at them?
153
00:10:06,836 --> 00:10:10,253
These are prepared especially for Xu Fengnian.
154
00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:13,756
Other people won't be affected by them.
155
00:10:13,756 --> 00:10:15,533
They are only useful for one target?
156
00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:18,133
I need to know the details of his life
157
00:10:18,133 --> 00:10:21,973
in order to make diagrams that are useful against him.
158
00:10:21,973 --> 00:10:24,917
I can control his emotions in secret.
159
00:10:24,917 --> 00:10:28,053
So, will Xu Fengnian fall into a nightmare after watching these diagrams?
160
00:10:28,053 --> 00:10:31,093
No. He will fall into the vision of his past.
161
00:10:31,093 --> 00:10:35,096
He will dream about the person he wishes to see the most.
162
00:10:35,096 --> 00:10:36,997
It's just a dream?
163
00:10:36,997 --> 00:10:39,177
What can a dream do to him?
164
00:10:39,890 --> 00:10:42,776
I'm going to wipe away the Wu Su in his heart.
165
00:10:42,776 --> 00:10:46,672
The previous page mentioned the battle in the capital.
166
00:10:46,672 --> 00:10:49,496
This news means a lot to Xu Fengnian.
167
00:10:49,496 --> 00:10:52,372
It's the moment when his mind is disrupted the most.
168
00:10:52,372 --> 00:10:55,576
If he sees this diagram suddenly,
169
00:10:55,576 --> 00:10:59,197
it will leave a deep impression on him.
170
00:10:59,197 --> 00:11:00,572
What happens after that?
171
00:11:00,572 --> 00:11:01,972
After that, when he enters his dream,
172
00:11:01,972 --> 00:11:03,612
this heavenly dragon will appear in his dream
173
00:11:03,636 --> 00:11:05,533
will appear in his dream
174
00:11:05,557 --> 00:11:07,933
and annihilate the only person he could depend on.
175
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:11,557
In other words, I want Wu Su
176
00:11:11,557 --> 00:11:14,797
to die in front of him once again.
177
00:11:14,797 --> 00:11:16,857
Unless his mind is extremely stable,
178
00:11:16,857 --> 00:11:19,997
if not, Xu Fengnian will definitely fall apart.
179
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:26,200
Maybe he will turn into a lunatic.
180
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,200
A useless Xu Fengnian
181
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,200
as the next leader of Beiliang?
182
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,500
Isn't this the best-case scenario
183
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,100
for the royal family?
184
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,200
But, what if his mind is extremely stable?
185
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
This kind of person rarely exists in the world.
186
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Xu Fengnian isn't strong enough.
187
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,800
So, Sir, you've been preparing this for a long time?
188
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Even if I'm living as a hermit,
189
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,400
my surname is still Zhao.
190
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,000
I will leave the mountain immediately
191
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,700
and hand over this gift to Xu Fengnian.
192
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:28,100
If Xu Fengnian does survive this ordeal,
193
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,600
you may bring him here!
194
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,200
Miss, please take your medicine.
195
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,700
Add some sugar.
196
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,700
I don't like bitter things.
197
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:53,100
What disease did you contract?
198
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,800
Why do you have to take medicine every day?
199
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400
Touch my hand.
200
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,900
I have a weak body.
201
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
My hands and feet are cold even in summer.
202
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,300
I'm always absent-minded.
203
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:14,000
You need to seek a good physician.
204
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,800
It's useless.
205
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,400
I've hired every physician there is.
206
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Even the best physician said
207
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,200
I'm experiencing a deficiency of vital energy and blood.
208
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,000
It's an incurable condition.
209
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,600
Sister,
210
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,500
you should return to Beiliang together with me.
211
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,000
Didn't we talk about this already?
212
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,200
I have to stay here.
213
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,300
- Sister.
- Enough.
214
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,000
How about this?
215
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,400
You can come and bring me home
216
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,600
after you take over Beiliang.
217
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,600
Okay.
218
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,600
It's a deal.
219
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,100
All right.
220
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,000
Let's drop the topic.
221
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,400
Since you're almost fully healed,
222
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,200
you should think about how to enrage Jiangnan's literati
223
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,600
so that the capital can be at ease.
224
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,600
We shouldn't rush it.
225
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,000
We need to wait for an opportunity.
226
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
What opportunity?
227
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,800
Jiangnan's literati often hold gatherings.
228
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,000
I'll barge in when I find the chance
229
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,600
and I'll flip the place upside down.
230
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,400
I can make the literati hate me
231
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,100
while showing how arrogant I am.
232
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:16,800
I can kill two birds with one stone.
233
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Even so, you can't just ruin your reputation time and time again.
234
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,000
To put it in your words,
235
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,600
I don't care about the opinions of others.
236
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,400
It's enough as long as you guys understand me.
237
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Eldest Miss.
238
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Master Wei.
239
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
She's here again.
240
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Where is she?
241
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,000
She's standing outside the door.
242
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Your Highness, I think she's waiting for you to appear.
243
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Should I chase her away?
244
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,800
Sister, I'll go and take a look.
245
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,400
Okay.
246
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,400
You villain!
247
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Pay with your life!
248
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,600
You wish to kill me?
249
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600
I killed Liu Liting because he deserved it.
250
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,800
I don't regret my action.
251
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,400
But it's reasonable for you to hate me.
252
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,900
I can understand that.
253
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:29,500
Beiliang is bullying people with its authority.
254
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:34,000
You murdered someone in public, but Jiangnan's government office doesn't dare to handle this case at all!
255
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,600
I'm upset about it as well.
256
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,800
The law doesn't treat the rich and the poor equally.
257
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,700
I'm very disappointed about it.
258
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:45,000
I've sent a letter to the capital regarding your actions.
259
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,600
You will receive your retribution in just a few days.
260
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,400
You mean the concubine in the palace who was from the same tribe as you?
261
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,200
I just received news
262
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000
that the concubine has been banished to the Cold Palace.
263
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,100
Nonsense!
264
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,800
Why would I lie to you about this?
265
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,200
I have plenty of informants out there.
266
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,000
You will hear about this rumor after a few days.
267
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,400
How did it end up like this?
268
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,000
It's simple.
269
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
It's because the royal family doesn't want to fall out with Beiliang
270
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,300
because of you.
271
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,600
I feel regretful about this incident as well.
272
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,100
Even though Liu Liting deserved to die,
273
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:22,400
I still have to wait for the court
274
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,100
to prove my sister's innocence.
275
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,800
I didn't expect them
276
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,400
to suppress this incident even though it concerns a person's life.
277
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,600
I'm very disappointed with Liyang's doing.
278
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,000
You can gloat all you want.
279
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,600
One day, you will pay for your crimes!
280
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,800
I'm not gloating, and I'm not being sarcastic.
281
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000
I was being honest just now.
282
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,800
I don't think it's a crime for me to kill Liu Liting.
283
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,800
He plotted everything in secret.
284
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,200
He wished to borrow the hands of courtesy to murder my sister.
285
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,300
Nonsense!
286
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,300
That's all from me. I won't tell you anything else.
287
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Don't come here again.
288
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,200
You'll never be able to kill me.
289
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:26,000
I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!
290
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,500
She was duped by Liu Liting as well.
291
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,200
She shouldn't sacrifice her life because of that.
292
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,300
I'm just afraid that her goal
293
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,600
is to kill you in the future.
294
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,400
With hatred, a will to live is born.
295
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,200
Seventh Master,
296
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Liu Liting's wife is here.
297
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,500
Liu Liting had hatched a plot
298
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,100
to ruin the reputation of the Lu family.
299
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:56,600
He deserved to die.
300
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,300
Xu Fengnian went out to meet her.
301
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,700
Does he plan to kill her?
302
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,200
No.
303
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,400
The woman left after she had spoken with him.
304
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,600
Send someone to keep an eye out for her.
305
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Don't let Xu Fengnian annihilate her family.
306
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,500
Yes, sir.
307
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:14,600
And,
308
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:20,300
tell the family to stop being mean to Xu Zhihu.
309
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:21,600
She has it rough as well.
310
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,500
Seventh Master, you're right.
311
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,200
Speak up.
312
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:32,800
Someone saw Xu Fengnian
313
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,400
bringing two girls with him in the backyard.
314
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,800
She said
315
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
one of the girls
316
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,500
looked like she was from Western Chu.
317
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,800
I've made arrangements for your plan a few days ago.
318
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,400
The carriage is at the back door.
319
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,800
The Lu family has no idea about this.
320
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,400
Why don't you take a look?
321
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,700
Seventh Master, a few days ago,
322
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,900
when I was sending the monthly allowance to Xu Zhihu...
323
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:08,200
Call her Young Madam.
324
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,800
That's right.
325
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,600
When I was sending the monthly allowance to Young Madam,
326
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,800
I bumped into two girls
327
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,200
whom Xu Fengnian had brought with him.
328
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,600
Both of them were wearing a veil.
329
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,600
When I think about it,
330
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,200
I realized they looked familiar.
331
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Do you think she's from Western Chu?
332
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,200
Yes.
333
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,200
Have you seen the people of Western Chu before?
334
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,500
I have.
335
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:34,800
First Master once went to Western Chu to visit his friend.
336
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,800
I was lucky enough to tag along.
337
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Get straight to the point.
338
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,600
The royal family of Western Chu once held a banquet to receive us.
339
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,400
At the banquet, their bodyguards presented a sword dance.
340
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,000
The girl beside Xu Fengnian,
341
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,600
judging from her looks and disposition,
342
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,000
was just like the bodyguard I saw at the banquet.
343
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
You actually think
344
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000
that she's from Western Chu just by her looks?
345
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Back then, I was observing the dance in the hallway.
346
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,800
There was a little girl from Western Chu
347
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,000
who was together with the servants.
348
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
She was observing the performance as well.
349
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,600
I remember clearly
350
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,600
that she was holding a white kitten.
351
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,000
The girl beside Xu Fengnian
352
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,200
was holding a white cat as well.
353
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,800
And, they look very similar.
354
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,600
I think this is too much of a coincidence.
355
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,200
This isn't right.
356
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Xu Xiao was the one who annihilated Western Chu.
357
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,800
Why would Xu Fengnian
358
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,300
keep the descendants of Western Chu bodyguards beside him?
359
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:38,400
Moreover,
360
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Xu Xiao knew that the Lu family are sworn enemies with Western Chu.
361
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,500
Why would he bring someone like this to Jiangnan?
362
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:47,500
Let's go.
363
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:51,600
Bring me to see where the two girls are staying at.
364
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,800
They were staying right here.
365
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,000
Their luggage is gone.
366
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,400
- Go and ask around.
- Yes, sir.
367
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,400
Why are you asking us to move out all of a sudden?
368
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,800
It's His Highness' intention.
369
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,700
Why isn't he moving out then?
370
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,600
I'm not afraid of the Lu family.
371
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,900
Your Highness.
372
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Do you think I'm afraid of the Lu family then?
373
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,200
The legitimate son of the Lu family joined the military back then.
374
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,600
And he died in the battle with Western Chu.
375
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200
So, they bear deep grudges against you.
376
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,800
That was a long time ago.
377
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,600
You're just as naggy as Yu Youwei.
378
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,300
Now that I had given it some thought,
379
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,500
I realized Xu Xiao didn't do anything extra.
380
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:46,900
What do you mean?
381
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:49,400
It may seem like he always acts without a purpose,
382
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,500
but his actions always fit each other perfectly
383
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,200
and they contain deep meanings.
384
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,400
Ever since Lv Qiantang's death,
385
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000
I've been trying to figure this out.
386
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,300
Why did he make you
387
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:59,700
and Yu Youwei join me eastward?
388
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,600
So, tell me why.
389
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,800
For the sake of the hereditary title,
390
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,600
Xu Xiao wishes for me to fall out with the Lu family.
391
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,000
But he knows my personality well
392
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,400
and that I won't make things difficult for my eldest sister.
393
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:14,400
Let's come up with a hypothesis then.
394
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,400
What do you think will happen
395
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,400
if the Lu family recognizes you or Yu Youwei?
396
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,700
Of course, they will kill us to exact revenge.
397
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,800
After that, I will surely fall out with the Lu family.
398
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,600
And, his plan to protect the hereditary title will work.
399
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,800
I told you already.
400
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,400
I'm sure he has an ulterior motive for making us travel together with you.
401
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Xu Xiao often says
402
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,900
that he'll do anything to achieve his goals.
403
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:43,000
I'm afraid he's sacrificing you two to achieve his current goal.
404
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000
If so, why are you only making us leave today?
405
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,500
I only thought about this when I was recuperating.
406
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:54,400
No matter if this is his intention or not, it's better for us to stay cautious.
407
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,300
I've already ordered the Feng Battalion to find accommodations for you two.
408
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:58,200
You two can lay low for now.
409
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,800
By then, we'll leave Jiangnan together.
410
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,400
Everything will proceed smoothly from then onward.
411
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,600
Seventh Master, I've asked around.
412
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,700
They just moved out.
413
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,200
If both of them are ordinary people,
414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,000
why would Xu Fengnian ask them to move out?
415
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,200
Now that you mention it,
416
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200
something does seem amiss.
417
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,600
I think we should ask him to bring them here to verify the truth.
418
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,000
No one is to mention this matter.
419
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Are we going to drop the matter just like this?
420
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,000
If they were from Western Chu,
421
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800
that means we'll be letting our sworn enemies go!
422
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,400
We can't force a confrontation.
423
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,800
We must verify their identities.
424
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,600
But, we mustn't involve ourselves directly.
425
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,800
Seventh Master, you mean...
426
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,600
We need your help with our plan.
427
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,300
The Lu family is in cahoots with Beiliang.
428
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:18,600
What? Isn't it enough for you to kill my husband?
429
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000
What if this plan
430
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
is meant to topple Xu Fengnian?
431
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:28,800
That's impossible.
432
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,000
You two are in-laws.
433
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,600
That's right.
434
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,900
We're in-laws.
435
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:39,700
I've been kind towards Xu Zhihu.
436
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:41,200
However,
437
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,300
if they go overboard and cross the line,
438
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,100
that's a different story.
439
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,900
Your husband is dead.
440
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,200
My brother was dead as well.
441
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,100
For many things,
442
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,400
even though they had happened many years ago,
443
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,600
they're not to be forgotten.
444
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
What plan?
445
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Don't go out for the next few days.
446
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,800
They'll find us if they try hard enough.
447
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Why is the Lu family trying to track you guys down?
448
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,200
You two are just servants.
449
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,600
If Xu Xiao does intend to hand me over to the Lu family,
450
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,200
it's the same no matter where I go.
451
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,800
His Highness will ensure your safety.
452
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,900
What about you?
453
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,800
If Xu Xiao gives you an order right now, who will you listen to?
454
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,600
The remnants of Western Chu?
455
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,500
I can't confirm it yet.
456
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,400
We must find them and interrogate them.
457
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,300
If so, why are you looking for me?
458
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:06,700
Is there anyone whom the Lu family can't locate in Yangcheng?
459
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:10,200
We'll surely find them if we utilize all of our resources.
460
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,400
However, how should we resolve the situation
461
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,600
if it becomes a mess?
462
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,200
So you guys are afraid of Beiliang?
463
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,800
Their army is 350,000 men strong.
464
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,400
Everyone is afraid of them.
465
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,200
We can't afford to fall out with them
466
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,400
before we confirm the identities of the two girls.
467
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,600
So you want me to locate them for you?
468
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,600
No need.
469
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800
What do you want me to do then?
470
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,100
Organize a debate.
471
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:35,600
Invite all the literati of Jiangnan,
472
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
except for the Lu family.
473
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,600
The location?
474
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,400
Baoguo Temple.
475
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,900
As for the time,
476
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:50,200
let's hold it after five days.
477
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,400
Where are you going?
478
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,000
I'm going to head east.
479
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,400
I need to visit Huangman'er in Mount Longhu
480
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,400
and visit Second Sister in Shangyin Academy.
481
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,900
But, you haven't fully recovered yet.
482
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:01,400
I had recovered long ago.
483
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,500
Change the dressing a few times,
484
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:05,300
and I can set off after four or five days.
485
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,400
If you can't bear to part with me,
486
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,000
you can leave with me.
487
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,900
Since I'm married to this place, I won't be able to leave.
488
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,800
After you take over Beiliang,
489
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,800
I'll wait for you to pick me up.
490
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,400
Wasn't that our promise?
491
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,400
You must wait for me then.
492
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,300
You must remember to wreak havoc in Jiangnan before you leave.
493
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,500
Only then, the capital will reserve the hereditary title for you.
494
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,200
Don't worry.
495
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,800
I've sent my men to see if there are any literati gatherings for the next few days.
496
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,000
Besides that, you need to be careful
497
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,400
with Jiang Ni as well.
498
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,400
You mustn't let the Lu family know her identity.
499
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,400
I won't let Jiang Ni enter Lu's residence again.
500
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:53,200
It's a shame that Western Chu has perished.
501
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,400
If not, as their princess,
502
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,500
Jiang Ni is a good match for you.
503
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,600
What are you talking about?
504
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,600
You don't need to tell me.
505
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,600
In your heart,
506
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,300
Jiang Ni is different from other girls.
507
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,800
But, I'm afraid that Father
508
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,600
has made arrangements for your marriage.
509
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,200
I'm afraid Jiang Ni won't receive an official title.
510
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,800
Xu Xiao doesn't get to make the call here.
511
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,700
It's my life. I'll make my own decisions.
512
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:22,500
You love to go against Father since you were young.
513
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:24,000
We cannot help it.
514
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:24,800
We don't like each other.
515
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,800
Nonsense.
516
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
He's your father, and you're his son.
517
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,400
Fengnian,
518
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,400
you mustn't blame Father for Mother's passing.
519
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,600
Sister, let's drop the topic.
520
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,600
Have you not gotten over it yet?
521
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800
It's been so many years.
522
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,600
Look.
523
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600
I'm fine now.
524
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,900
[ The Cry of the Crane ]
525
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,700
Sir.
526
00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:13,600
Did you keep Shenfu away?
527
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,800
You don't say?
528
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Do you think the Lu family won't be able to recognize it?
529
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,000
So, Sir, you knew about that long ago.
530
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Did Xu Fengnian send you here to remind me?
531
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,600
No. Sir, the Lord of Beiliang needs you to do him a favor.
532
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Xu Xiao?
533
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,000
His Highness is keeping his end of the bargain right now.
534
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,100
Sir, please don't worry.
535
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:43,000
Did Xu Xiao send you a message from the capital?
536
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,700
Carrier pigeons are quite common for the past few years.
537
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Does Xu Fengnian know about this?
538
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,400
Seems like he has no idea.
539
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,900
What does Xu Xiao want to do?
540
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,400
His Highness wishes to borrow something from you.

So, Master Wei, it's you?
544
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600
I didn't see you for the past few days.
545
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,600
I had to travel up and down
546
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,400
to obtain intel for His Highness.
547
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,800
I have something to report to him.
548
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,500
I think His Highness is inside his sister's chamber.
549
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,200
Go now.
550
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,000
So, what did you talk about with the God of Blades?
551
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,200
Why are you asking me this suddenly?
552
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,200
Do you think the God of Blades will teach me?
553
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,200
Teach you?
554
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,100
That's God of Blades Li.
555
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:19,200
If he does teach me,
556
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,300
it will surely stand me in good stead.
557
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:25,500
You have to ask him yourself.
558
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,000
I dare not do so.
559
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,800
According to rumors in the martial arts world,
560
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,200
God of Blades Li is just like a deity.
561
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,600
But, Master Wei,
562
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,800
it seemed like you were quite familiar with him.

You're wrong.

We weren't chatting just now.
566
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,600
Just now, I was just borrowing something from him.

00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,400
You borrowed something from him?
568
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,200
What is it?

It's a pity he isn't dead.

I don't like that.

that my mother will stay in my heart.
645
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,300
That's why I stopped crying since then.
646
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,200

That way, my family won't be shattered.
651

But, in the end, I failed my task.
652

I'm worried about her.
662
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,800
I consulted the reputable physicians in Yangcheng in secret.

00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,200
There's no way to replenish them.

This isn't a disease.
681

It's just that she expends her life faster than most people.
682
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,500
So, no matter how much medicine she takes,

it won't matter.
684
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,400
It'll only make the flame burn brighter

we don't have a choice.
696
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,600
Don't let him know about this.
697
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,200
I wish he can leave Jiangnan in high spirits,
698
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,000
all right?
699
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:54,800
Actually, I was pretty happy
700
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,200
that I got to see Fengnian again.
701
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,200
I'm relieved to know
702
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,700
that he's willing to take over Beiliang.
703
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:06,600
Now, I just hope God can give me more time
704
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,400
so that I can witness Fengnian becoming the new Lord of Beiliang.
705
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,400
If that does happen, I'll have no regrets in life.
706
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:19,100
Since my sister doesn't want me to know,
707
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:24,200
I'll pretend to be ignorant about it.
708
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,500
With my personality, I would have brought her back to Beiliang long ago.
709
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,400
But she doesn't want that.
710
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:37,300
She thinks
711
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,600
that she can only help me out by staying in Jiangnan.
712
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,800
Only by doing so will she be happy.
713
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,400
All right.
714
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
If that's what she wants,
715
00:41:57,500 --> 00:41:59,600
I'll grant her wish.
716
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,300
You can try to seek other famous physicians.
717
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:05,200
I'm sure you'll find hope somehow.
718
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,000
I'm afraid medical skills alone won't cure her condition.
719
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,400
Is there another possibility?
720
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,800
God of Blades Li is still as strong as ever even after so many decades.
721
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,800
Wang Xianzhi has been known as the number two martial artist in the world for almost 60 years,
722
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,700
but he's still as vigorous as a middle-aged man.
723
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:23,200
They might have a way to cure her condition.
724
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,400
I'll find the old man then.
725
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,200
I'll tell him about this.
726
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,200
Just forget it.
727
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,800
It was my fault.
728
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,700
He's the god of blades, not the god of medicine.
729
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,800
I just feel frustrated and confused.
730
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,200
I thought I could straighten out
731
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,100
my thoughts by talking to you.

值此今生 My Momentary Life sung by Zheng Zhi

Original translation: deadliftdiva_548
735
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,600
♫ In the center of my heart, my growing sorrow ♫
736
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,000
♫ Has been washed away by this splendid beginning ♫
737
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,800
♫ I’m going out at dawn, taking a gamble ♫
738
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:47,400
♫ Betting you will be there to meet me with your reply. ♫
739
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:52,000
♫ Forgive me for this tragic ending, ♫
740
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,600
♫ As you are moved to meet me in this misty moment ♫
741
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,400
♫ Even though the thunder rolls and lightning flashes, ♫
742
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,800
♫ Even if by this effort, I am left behind… ♫
743
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,600
♫ My meeting with you will leave you in ruins ♫
744
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,200
♫ Let you place in memory this final sad painting ♫
745
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,800
♫ As the years pass, joined by innumerable glamorous paintings ♫
746
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,200
♫ Who will bother to look at it again? ♫
747
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,800
♫ My momentary life is already sufficient ♫
748
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,000
♫ To give up all my possessions to sentimentally see it through ♫
749
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,200
♫ I can again give you a lifetime’s worth of loving words ♫
750
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,600
♫ To settle a world full of worries. ♫
751
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,200
♫ My momentary life, throughout it, I’ll be nearby watching ♫
752
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:51,400
♫ In case in these lovely surroundings you are secretly sorrowful ♫
753
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,800
♫ If you regret this ending and want some way to start over again, ♫
754
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,600
♫ Remember, you can still return to me. ♫
