The Immortal drank aphrodisiac, but unexpectedly his disciple happened to enter! 💗
Master! Master! What’s wrong? I’ll get Honored Lord. I’m telling Honored Lord! He’ll tear you into pieces! Not everything is what you think it is. Master is poisoned! You witch. You must have seduced Venerable Lord! You ruined Chang Liu’s reputation! I know! It’s all my fault! I’m begging you. Please don’t tell anyone. Kill me then. I won’t keep such thing a secret. This is incest! You deceived your master! Dongfang! – Qian Gu? – Where’s Dongfang? He went back to serve the emperor. He’s gone? I… I really don’t have another choice? Master. I’m sorry. I have no choice. When I’m done taking care of things, I’ll leave Chang Liu, and all… will be peaceful again. No. Little One is in trouble. Little One! Ms. Sha! What’s wrong? What happened? Ms. Sha, I beg you. Please help me. Teach me how to captivate souls! Captivating Souls? Why do you want to learn that? I’ll tell you after everything is settled. Is that all right? Hua Qian Gu! You witch! You seduced your own master. You betrayed and looked away from your morals! Just kill me, Hua Qian Gu! Hua Qian Gu! I’m sorry. Master. Forgive me. It’s best if you forget all the unpleasant… and painful memories. Master. I would never do this… if I had another choice. I hope one day… you will understand me. Why can’t I remember anything? Was Qian Gu here? Did I… Li Meng! – Venerable Lord. – Go get Hua Qian Gu for me. – Honored Lord said… – Go! Yes. Master. Master. What is it? Master, the poison… I’m getting much better now. You don’t have to worry. How is your body? Master, I’ve recovered. – But you… – Then go and cultivate yourself. Master, how did we get back? What about Tang Bao? Where is she? She must have gone to the Pavilion of Strange Decay. She should be back soon. Rest assured. Go back and rest. Master. Can I see you? There’s no need. The Immortal Sword Convention is in two months. You should go back and practice. Yes, I will obey you. But Master, did you tell Honorable Lord, Refined Lord, and the others about you being poisoned? I’m fine now. I don’t want them to worry. You should go back. I want to cultivate in isolation. If there’s nothing, don’t come here. – But… – About me being poisoned, don’t tell anyone. Go now. I’ll take my leave then. Qian Gu? Qian Gu, what happened? Why were you so anxious? Did something happen to Venerable Lord? – Master… – What’s wrong? – What happened to him? – In this world, no one’s cultivation can be compared to Venerable Lord’s. How could he be injured? He just used up quite some energy… when he was healing me. He’s now cultivating in isolation. You scared me. All right, since Venerable Lord is fine… and you have recovered, stop putting on this sad face of yours. You look just like a bitter gourd. Looking at her face, something must have happened. – Tang Bao! – Shi Yi. Tang Bao, you’ve finally returned. Where were you for the past two days? Qian Gu fell unconscious two days ago. It was Venerable Lord who brought her back. I couldn’t see you anywhere. I know, that’s why I hurried back. Tang Bao, don’t rush. Qian Gu is fine now. Besides, Venerable Lord sent Wu Qing Luo to take care of her. No, I must see her. Tang Bao, we haven’t met for so long. Don’t… Don’t you miss me? Look at what happened to Bone. When do I have the time to miss you? Bone, I’m back! Tang Bao, you’re back. Where did you go? I heard from Yun Yin… that you went to the snow mountain with Venerable Lord. I was worried you would be in danger, so I rushed to Pavilion of Strange Decay for help. – It was you who informed Lu Qiao? – Yes. Pavilion of Strange Decay… What did they want in exchange? They let me come home after having me clean up some rooms. Was it that simple? Come. Tang Bao, let me ask you. Do you know how to cure the poison of Cauldron of Divination? Bone. Were you poisoned by Cauldron of Divination? No, I’m just asking you. I don’t know. I only heard… that poison made with Cauldron of Divination… is the most vicious in the world. It’s fragrant by nature, but the poison… What? It’s hard to find an antidote for the poison. But there are so many books in Chang Liu’s Archive Room. – There must be records of it. – The archive? Bone. Who’s the one poisoned by Cauldron of Divination… that’s making you so anxious? Tang Bao. Keep this in mind. If anyone asks about Cauldron of Divination, just say you don’t know anything. Including to Shi Yi. – Who… – Don’t ask who’s poisoned either. Do you understand? Master, I thought you were dead. I thought I killed you! No! Master, it’s poison from Cauldron of Divination. – You won’t be able to cure it. – Don’t talk. It seems that in this world, there isn’t anyone… who can escape from their fate calamity. Zi Hua, what happened? I just dropped a teacup. You don’t have to worry. Should I get someone to clean it up for you? It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to trouble others. I can do it myself. Zi Hua. Sha Qian Mo and the others have been acting strangely lately. I’m worried. Can you let us in to discuss strategies with you? Mo Yan, during my recent trip, I saw the people in destitution. I’ve had some realizations after seeing the world changes, Our master’s last words were, “Harmony between heaven and earth.” Perhaps during my isolation this time, I’ll be able to break through The Tenth Heaven. I’ll have to trouble you with the affairs of the sect. – Zi Hua. – Congratulations, Sect Leader Bai. You’ll definitely break through The Tenth Heaven. Once you’re done with your isolation, I believe your cultivation will increase greatly. Then we won’t bother you anymore. Let’s go, Mo Yan. – You… – Let’s go. I’m not done yet. What else is there to say? Think about it. If Zi Hua really breaks through The Tenth Heaven, then what would Sha Qian Mo be to us? “Dodder cures wounds.” “It replenishes…” “depleted energy…” “and detoxifies poison.” (Forbidden) What? Are you trying to trespass into the forbidden area? What happened during your trip this time? Why did your master go into isolation when he returned? I don’t know. I haven’t seen Master since I returned. He only mentioned about breaking through The Tenth Heaven. I’m asking you, what happened during your trip this time? Why were you so badly injured? It was all my fault for being reckless. I wanted to get back Cauldron of Divination, but I was ambushed by Shan Chun Qiu. It was Venerable Lord who saved me. Is that so? Then what realization did your master come to… during this trip? Forgive me for being clueless. I don’t know what he has realized. What are you laughing about? Nothing. I’m laughing… It’s either you’re underestimating Sect Leader Bai’s ability… or overestimating Hua Qian Gu’s ability. Do you think… that what the sect leader has realized… will be realized by his disciple? He has been in isolation for so many days. Don’t worry. You can watch over Chang Liu. That’s why he can go into isolation in peace. Forget it. Based on Zi Hua’s ability, things should be fine. Why are you still standing there? You may go. Go. Yes. Dodder. Sunflower seeds. Golden olive. Iridaceae. Use snow lotus… and Ice One-horned Beast as the catalyst… to detoxify the poison. Use snow lotus and Ice One-horned Beast… Ice One-horned Beast… as the catalyst… Master. Can I see you? I made you your favorite peach blossom soup… – and… – Qian Gu. I’m already fine. Go back. Master, I beg you. Please let me see you. – Master! – Qian Gu! Master! Have you forgotten my words? I wouldn’t dare. I… I’ll go and practice right now. Master, I’ll leave the food outside your door. Remember to eat them. I won’t disappoint you. We can finally rest. Let me tell you. I heard Fairy Zi Xun… lost her immortality because of Venerable Lord. I heard that too. It’s a huge deal in the Immortal Realm. Why would she lose her immortality because of Venerable Lord? You men won’t understand. Fairy Zi Xun has loved Venerable Lord for years, but Venerable Lord kept ignoring her, so her heart turned cold and she lost her immortality. It’s not as simple as you think. Then do you know the truth? Of course. She lost her immortality because of High Immortal Wu Gou’s death… and it’s because of Hua Qian Gu. – How dare you mention Hua Qian Gu! – That’s right. – What does it have to do with her? – Think about it. Venerable Lord favors Hua Qian Gu. He always gives Fairy Zi Xun a hard time because of Hua Qian Gu. Fairy Zi Xun must think that they have a love affair. Don’t disrespect Qian Gu and Venerable Lord! It’s the truth! – Do you have proof? – I… I will find the proof sooner or later. Talk only when you have proof. Hua Qian Gu is an unlucky pest! Sooner or later, more people will die because of her. Come with me. What are you pulling me? The Immortal Sword Convention is coming soon. Aren’t you going to practice? What does my practice have to do with you? I know. You don’t care if I practice or not. You only care if I’m bad-mouthing Hua Qian Gu, right? I’m doing it no matter what! She caused High Immortal Zi Xun to lose her immortality. She’s an unlucky pest! Master, how are you feeling? Can I see you? No. Go back. Master. You haven’t eaten for so many days. You didn’t take your medicine either. I’m worried about you. Can you please let me see you? Master. Master. If you insist on not seeing me, I’ll kneel here and accompany you. Master. Master, I beg you. Please let me in. Master. Master. Master! Master. Master! I thought you didn’t want me anymore. Master. Silly girl. Why would I not want you anymore? If people knew that I was poisoned, chaos will ensue. I went into isolation only to dispel the poison… and not let anyone bother me. Master, it was all my fault. I should have left you earlier. Then I wouldn’t have let myself fall into the illusion. It was all because I was too rash that day, that’s why you were poisoned. Master, let me remove the poison for you. – Just like how you saved me. – It’s no use. Qian Gu. Just focus on practicing. I will find a way. Master! I’ll look for Honorable Lord and Refined Lord. They must know a way. They must know a way to cure you of the poison. As long as I can save you, even if I get punished, I’m willing to accept it. Stop! It’s not impossible… to dispel the poison of Cauldron of Divination. At Desolate Grounds, there’s an immortal herb called Heartbroken Flower. It can detoxify the poison. Desolate Grounds. Heartbroken Flower. All right, Master. I’ll look for Heartbroken Flower right away. Master, take this medicine first. It might not detoxify the poison, but it can mend your body. Master, wait for me to return. I’ll look for Heartbroken Flower. Make sure you finish the medicine. Has your body weakened to this state? You didn’t notice that I came in. Sometimes, I really want to open up your head and see what’s inside. Heartbroken Flower… can only be found by someone who’s qualified as an immortal. Does Hua Qian Gu have the capability to find it? You just want to send her away. Why would you go to this extent? Xiao Mo. How long… have the four of us… been in Mount Chang Liu? It’s been too long that I’ve forgotten the time. All these while, I always thought, “How long have I been alive?” Is there… really no other way? Among the four of us, Dong Hua… is the toughest. He makes mistakes easily. Mo Yan… looks like a meticulous person, but he’s actually careless. As for you, on the outside, you look like you don’t care about anything, but you’re the one who knows the best. I’ve been poisoned by Cauldron of Divination. It’s already eating away at my organs. There’s no cure for it. I’m afraid… I won’t be able to hold on any longer. Life and death are predestined. Even people like us cannot escape from fate. But as the sect leader of Chang Liu, your responsibility is great. I advise you to plan ahead… before things are too late. If Dong Hua were here, all of these… wouldn’t be a problem. By the way, don’t tell Mo Yan that I was poisoned. I’m afraid… You can’t hide it for long. Are you afraid that Mo Yan will make things hard for Qian Gu? After I’m gone, please take care of Qian Gu. After all… After all, she’s innocent. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her. Right. When you have made your final decision, make sure to let me know beforehand. I’ll help you figure out how to face Mo Yan. (The mountain has trees and the trees have branches.) Bone, it’s time to take your medicine. Tang Bao. I have something important to do. I’ll be away for a few days. As for Master… I’ll be right back. Bone, your medicine! Heartbroken Flower? Zi Hua. It’s me. Can you let me see you? I’m in isolation right now. It’s not convenient for me to see anyone. Please go back. Listen to me, Zi Hua. I didn’t mean to harm you. But Hua Qian Gu… She’s your fate calamity. Of the Five High Immortals back then, only you and I are left. – I don’t want you… – Zi Xun. The poison has been cured. Please go back. It’s a poison of Cauldron of Divination. Only an antidote made with that cauldron can cure you. Let me have a look. I can make an antidote for you. If you won’t come out, I’ll barge right in. High Immortal Zi Xun. Sect Leader Bai is in isolation. It’s not convenient for him to have guests. If Chang Liu hasn’t taken care of you well. please understand. Let me attend to you instead. He’s not in isolation. It’s clear that he was poisoned by Cauldron of Divination. It’s not hard to cure such poison. He’s fine now. As of now, you’ve lost your immortality. Good and evil can’t be together. I’m afraid… you’re not fit to be at Heartless Hall. If I ask Mo Yan here, there’s bound to be another battle. I advise you to leave. After all, everything happened because of you. Zi Hua, I know you hate me. I don’t care about anything now. I only want you to live. Live well! Whisper Beast. My master’s life is on the edge. I must get the Heartbroken Flower to save my master. Please fulfill my request. Fine. If that’s what you want, I won’t hold back. Zi Hua, you’re out of isolation. No. I thought… I could break through The Tenth Heaven very soon, but it wasn’t an easy matter. I might need more time. Why do you look so pale? Did something go wrong? Please don’t worry. I was in too much of a rush during my isolation. Fortunately, I stopped in time. There are distractions in my heart. I also had to think of the matters of the sect. Just go into isolation in peace. Xiao Mo and I can take care of that. Mo Yan, I have a suggestion. I don’t know how much time I need for my isolation this time. So I would like you to take over my role as the sect leader. How can I do that? I’m a person with prejudice. I’m not fit to be the sect leader. Mo Yan. Zi Hua. Have you forgotten our master’s last words? With Bai Zi Hua, Chang Liu can be preserved for thousands of years. Why are you looking at me? No, I’m used to being carefree. I can’t do something so serious as being the sect leader. No. However, I think the most suitable person to be the sect leader… is Luo Shi Yi. He’s careful, honest, and steady. He’s also the eldest disciple of Chang Liu. Although his immortal potential is a little lacking, there’s no rule saying… that a sect leader must be the most powerful person. I think… virtue is the most important. No. Shi Yi is steady, but he lacks vigor. He still needs a few years of training. Zi Hua. Just go into isolation in peace. I can help you watch over the sect for the time being, but you can’t hand over the position of the sect leader. It’s not a trivial matter. If you hand over the position so suddenly, outsiders will think that there are problems… and it will cause countless fights. Zi Hua. You must reconsider. For Chang Liu… and for the people. – Mo Yan, what are you doing? – Get up, Mo Yan. Mo Yan, get up. Mo Yan. Give Zi Hua some time to think carefully about it. He’s still the sect leader. He needs his own time to deal with his own matters. All these years, he has done a lot… for Chang Liu and the people. He’s only going into isolation this time… to increase his cultivation. Is that wrong for him to do so? Mo Yan, Xiao Mo. Regarding this matter, let me think about it. (Heartless Hall) Master! I’ve found Heartbroken Flower! Master! Master! Master, where are you? Master! Master! Master! Qian Gu. Master, I’ve found Heartbroken Flower! – Master! – Qian Gu. I’ve found Heartbroken Flower. What happened to you? I… I’m fine. Master. I’ve found Heartbroken Flower. Teach me how to make the antidote. Leave it to me. Heartbroken Flower… is not an ordinary elixir. Only people with great power… can make the elixir. Qian Gu. You should go back and get changed. For the coming days, I’ll be in isolation to produce the antidote. You should focus on getting ready for the Immortal Sword Convention. Master. I want to stay by your side. Go home. Master. Thank you for your help, Qian Gu. Where’s my handkerchief? Where’s my handkerchief? – Tang Bao! – Tang Bao! Tang Bao, stand up! – Are you all right? – Tang Bao! Tang Bao, are you all right? – I’m fine. – Did you injure yourself? Tang Bao, what’s wrong? Why do you zone out so frequently lately? I keep feeling like something is going to happen, but I can’t seem to figure it out. My brain is going to explode soon. Enough. – Are you all right? – No. It’s all your fault! If you’d stopped Ni Tian Man, I wouldn’t have collided into Tang Bao! You can’t blame me. It was Ni Tian Man’s fault. She exerted too much strength! You’re the one not skillful enough. Why should I be blamed? You… It seems that we have some clues on who will be the candidate. Who do you think it will be? It goes without saying that it is… Both of us. – Of course it is… – Both of us. Hua Qian Gu. – Hua Qian Gu? – Hua Qian Gu? Hua Qian Gu? Why? Shuo Feng’s and Ni Man Tian’s power is greater than her. I bet you don’t know about it. Let me tell you. Hua Qian Gu is no longer the same. Not only is she the youngest disciple of Venerable Lord, but she’s also the sect leader of Mount Shu. Furthermore, she has brought back many weapons… from the battle against Seven Murder Factions. Isn’t she very powerful now? You’re right. But we were traveling at that time, so we didn’t get to see it. This time, we must have a match with her. What are you talking about? Enough, let’s call it a day. All of you may leave. – Yes. – Yes. – Be gentle! – Tang Bao! – Come here. – Bone! Bone. Tang Bao, come with me. I have something to ask you. Come. Hurry up. Bone, what’s wrong? What happened? Tang Bao, let me ask you. Have you seen my handkerchief? Handkerchief? You mean the handkerchief with Venerable Lord’s portrait? – Yes. – Has it gone missing? You… Think carefully. Did you misplace it and forget where you put it? I’ve searched for it high and low, but I couldn’t find it. Let’s do this. We’ll look at the places that you usually go to. We’ll find it eventually. Qian Gu, what are you looking for? Qian Gu, are you looking for this? Give it back to me! Give it back to me! Why are you so aggressive? I didn’t say I won’t give it back. What do you want? I want nothing. I’m just shocked… that Chang Liu Sect has such a rebellious disciple. Hua Qian Gu. You have the nerve! Do you think anyone can fall in love with Venerable Lord? You’re thoroughly perverse and unprincipled! What do you want? Qian Gu, I’m not the kind of person who blackmails others. If Honored Lord knows about this, he’ll surely kick you out of Chang Liu Sect. But it doesn’t matter. If Venerable Lord knows… that his beloved disciple has feelings for him, I bet he’ll feel greatly disappointed. What do you want? You owe me, Hua Qian Gu. If you don’t want me to flaunt your dirty laundry… Fine, beg me. – I beg you. – For what? Please don’t tell Master about it. Hua Qian Gu, aren’t you a woman with a spine? I’m surprised you would beg me for mercy. I hate this expression of yours the most! Hua Qian Gu, it’s because of you! It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been the only one who dominates the limelight. I would’ve become Venerable Lord’s disciple. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve become the happiest person in the world. You have ruined everything! I want you to return everything that you owe me! Fine, I’ll give you everything I have. All right. I want you to lose to me… in the Immortal Sword Convention. I promise. It’s a deal. Otherwise, you will bring ruin and shame upon yourself. Master, I’m sorry. (Heartless Hall) You haven’t left Heartless Hall for a while now. I have nothing important to attend, so there’s no need to leave. I didn’t see your disciple anywhere. Perhaps she’s practicing sword technique… somewhere in Heartless Hall. Heartless Hall… is indeed lifeless. I wonder how long the Heartbroken Flower… can stay alive. Zi Hua. Are you going to hide it from her forever? What can she do even if she knows about it? Never let her know. Both of you are getting more and more alike. Both of you are stubborn. Hua Qian Gu. You have the nerve! Do you think anyone can fall in love with Venerable Lord? You’re thoroughly perverse and unprincipled! If Honored Lord knows about this, he’ll surely kick you out of Chang Liu Sect. But it doesn’t matter. If Venerable Lord knows… that his beloved disciple has feelings for him, I bet he’ll feel greatly disappointed. Master! What’s wrong, Master? Master! Master. What’s going on? Why are you so weak? Master, no. You lied to me. Heartbroken Flower can’t cure you. Qian Gu. I’m all right. You should go back. No, Master! Is there no other way to cure you? The poison has entered my bones. It’s incurable. No, Master! There must be a cure! There must be a way! Whoever started the trouble should end it. You were poisoned by Cauldron of Divination, so I’ll find it and make an antidote with it. I’ll look for Cauldron of Divination. Qian Gu. Listen, it’s too late. Shan Chun Qiu won’t easily give Cauldron of Divination to you. Furthermore, it’s more than just being poisoned. When I was in Cauldron of Divination, the poisoned has attacked every inch of my body. I’ll slowly lose my immortal power and turn into ashes. The only thing I can do… is to control myself… from being controlled by the poison… and lose my sanity. I don’t believe it, Master. I don’t believe it, Master! I don’t believe it. There must be a way! There must be a way! Right. The poison in my body. Master, use the poison in my body. I’m not poisoned by Cauldron of Divination. We can attack the poison with poison. – Use the poison in my body! – Qian Gu. We can’t do that. How can I manipulate you… just to live on cowardly? No, Master. Qian Gu! I will do anything to save you, Master! Qian Gu, no. Master. Master, don’t worry. I will find a way to save you. I’ve been staying by his side for many years. Of course I understand him well. If he knows that I have feelings for him, he will… Yes. I know that I’m at fault. I shouldn’t feel this way. I’m just trying my best… to hide it. Master. Master, you’re awake. Do you feel better? I feel better, Qian Gu. Qian Gu. I’m almost fully recovered from the poison. I’ll go into isolation for a while to get rid of the poison. You don’t have to come here anymore. Focus on cultivating. The Immortal Sword Convention… is a test for you. Master, are you really… Don’t worry. I’ve almost fully recovered. All right, Master. I’ll do my best to get ready for the Immortal Sword Convention. But… I want to see you every day. Can I? I’ll inform you if there’s anything. Master. Then… I’ll take my leave. – Tang Bao. – Bone. Remember, when you see Ni Man Tian, you must hide. If you bump into her when I’m not around, seek help from Shi Yi. Bone, Ni Man Tian will ask for a foot if she gets an inch. She’ll torture you endlessly. Just tell me what happened, all right? Tang Bao, please stop asking. All right. But if you encounter any difficulty in the future, don’t endure it on your own. Don’t forget that you still have me. I know. Thank you, Tang Bao. Do you know any way to clear someone’s memory? Clear someone’s memory? Seven Murder Factions has Soul-snatching Spell. They can put someone under hypnosis… and remove his memories. But I’m not sure how they do it. Soul-snatching Spell? – Tang Bao. – What are you doing here? Go. I’m here to deliver your favorite steamed chicken in leaf packets. No one wants it! All of you bully Bone! Go away! Tang Bao, what happened? Who bullied Bone? I don’t want to see you. Go away! Tang Bao! Please open the door! What happened? Tell me! So what if you have become Venerable Lord’s disciple? Aren’t you worried… that I would flaunt your dirty laundry? Is there any way in the world… that can control the human mind? Of course there is. Not only Soul-snatching Spell can control someone’s mind, you can also erase his memories at the same time. It’s not easy though. It’s easier to cast it on someone weaker… or it might backfire. Unless you don’t have a choice, it’s best not to use it. What’s wrong, Little One? Why are you suddenly interested in Soul-snatching Spell? Do you need my guidance? There’s no need, Ms. Sha. It’s fine. Little One. You look paler than before. Do you know… that appearance is the most important thing for a woman? Why are you torturing yourself? Ms. Sha, that’s because… the Immortal Sword Convention is just around the corner… and I’m busy practicing. That’s why… That Bai Zi Hua… is just like deadwood in the sea. He’s stubborn and rotten. He organizes this silly convention annually… to watch his disciples fight with each other. It’s not meaningful at all. Is he too free recently? I miss you so much. Ms. Sha, I… You don’t have to say anything. I don’t blame you. I shall… Master! Master! What’s wrong? What’s going on? I’m fine. Master, your condition is getting worse. Why didn’t you tell me? You vomited blood. Qian Gu. Don’t do that. Listen to me. There’s no cure for this poison. Even if you use all the cure in the world, it won’t help. I don’t care. Even if I can’t cure you, I can at least ease your pain. Qian Gu, don’t do that. Qian Gu. Master! Qian Gu! If you used up all the poison in your body, you will be eroded by Cauldron of Divination too. Master. Leave. Leave! All right. I shall leave now. Refined Lord. What happened? Nothing. When I was making breakfast in the morning, I cut my wrist by mistake. How is that possible? Fine, you may leave. I’ll take my leave then. Zi Hua. Zi Hua, can I come in? Zi Hua! Zi Hua! Here. Has she left? Do you want her to leave… or stay? Just now, I saw that Hua Qian Gu… injured her wrist. So you must cut ties with Hua Qian Gu… as soon as possible. Otherwise, Hua Qian Gu… will do anything to prolong your life… even if she has to sacrifice herself. Xiao Mo, no one knows your temperament better than I do, so… I’ve never forced you to do anything against your will. I’ve always let you follow your will. However, this time, I’m afraid I don’t have much time left. Be it for me… or for everyone in the world, you should take over… the position of sect leader. What? Xiao Mo, you can take some time to consider it, but don’t take too long. I’m afraid… I can’t take it much longer. What are you doing? Qian Gu, the Immortal Sword Convention is just around the corner. Let’s have a duel so that I can learn from you. Are you admitting defeat? It’s way too early to do that. You’d better practice hard. I’ll defeat you in front of everyone. Qian Gu. Do you really yearn victory that much? Don’t be nosy. – Is everything ready? – Yes. Leave. There’s something I don’t understand, so I’ve mustered up my courage to ask. What is it? Why didn’t you let Bai Zi Hua die in Cauldron of Divination? Why did you save him? Do you really think that he can survive… after being poisoned by Cauldron of Divination? – But… – Enough. I have my own plan. You don’t have to know. Lord of Strange Decay. Strange Decay doesn’t do transaction without profit. Saving Bai Zi Hua has violated the rules of Strange Decay. For Hua Qian Gu, you’ve changed your mind over and over again. Enough. Just mind your own business. I know what I’m doing. Leave. Yes. Master. When we were in Yao Ge City, you said you love the steamed bun from that one particular shop. I’ve learned how to make the buns from the seller. You haven’t eaten for days. Please eat more. Master! Please don’t leave me behind. What should I do if something happens to you? Although the world is gigantic, I don’t know where else I can go. Put down the food… and leave. Master! I’ll leave it outside. Don’t forget to eat them. Qian Gu. Why do you need astragalus, angelica, codonopsis, and lovage root? These herbs are usually consumed after giving birth. It helps to enrich the blood. I injured myself and had excessive bleeding. I haven’t recovered. I want to nourish my body. I see. I have thousand-year-old ginseng. You can have it. I’ll get it for you. Thank you. High Immortal Zi Xun, you’ve finally come to see me. For the past few days, I… Give me Cauldron of Divination. Why do you need it? I repeat, give me Cauldron of Divination! Why has your… Why has your appearance changed? So what? What’s wrong? Are you scared of me? There’s nothing to be scared of. Should we make a deal? What deal? Haven’t you always wanted to defeat Hua Qian Gu? If you help me find out Hua Qian Gu’s whereabouts, I… will teach you every technique that I know. Are you serious? – Every technique? – Yes. Every technique that I know. All right, I’ll tell you her recent condition. Say it. Hua Qian Gu seems to have become weaker lately. She has a wound on her hand. Her daily activities are secluded. She rarely leaves Heartless Hall. Keep a close watch on her. Come here at the same time every day to report to me. When are you going to teach me your techniques? I’ll teach you everything after I’ve gotten what I want. All right. I’m warning you. You just have to spy on Hua Qian Gu. Leave the rest to me. If I found out you’re disobeying me, I will make you… suffer a fate… worse than death. Yes. If I have more nutritious food, the poison in my body will increase. Then I can save Master. From now on, I won’t be taking your poison. Master. My poison is the only thing that can control the poison in your body. The longer you can survive, the longer time I have to look for the antidote. Master, I beg you. Qian Gu. I appreciate… your intention. However, the poison is incurable. Don’t waste your effort. Look at you. If you’re too weak, you won’t be able to take part in the Immortal Sword Convention. It will attract suspicions… and we might not be able to hide… the fact that I’m poisoned. Master, I don’t care. What is the point of winning the Immortal Sword Convention… if I lose you? I just want you to be safe. As for the Immortal Sword Convention, I will do my best. Please give me more time. I’ll find the antidote. I surely will! If you still respect me as your master, you should leave now. Master! Master! You… Why are you here? Why are you panicking? Is there any embarrassing secret in the room? What is this? Are you practicing a blood-related technique? Don’t poke your nose into my business. I’ll honor my word in the Immortal Sword Convention. This is not a place where you can come and go as you wish! If I ever see you in Heartless Hall again, I will never forgive you! Hua Qian Gu. Do you think that you’re unbeatable? You don’t have to make way for me, I’ll make sure I defeat you! Ni Man Tian, don’t go too far. Bear this in mind. I will take back… what belongs to me one by one! Sword of Forsaking, the poison in Master’s body is almost gone. We shall get ready for the Immortal Sword Convention. Are you practicing hard… to defeat me in the Immortal Sword Convention? Ni Man Tian. I’ve promised you I won’t be competing with you… in the Immortal Sword Convention. Why are you still pushing me? I told you before. I dislike your proud look. You don’t seem to respect anyone. So what if you have become Venerable Lord’s disciple? Aren’t you worried… that I would flaunt your dirty laundry? I’m sorry. Please don’t do that. What did you say? I couldn’t hear you. I’m sorry. Please don’t do that! What’s wrong? Are you reluctant to admit defeat? When you’re begging someone, you should do it properly. Kneel. Hua Qian Gu, don’t forget… that I’m holding something against you. Be humble when you see me next time… and expect something more than just kneeling. Hua Qian Gu, don’t forget… that I’m holding something against you. Be humble when you see me next time… and expect something more than just kneeling. Ni Man Tian, how dare you bully Bone! Tang Bao, mind your own business! Tang Bao, stay out of this. No! Bullying Bone is the same as bullying me! She willingly knelt in front of me. You can ask her if you don’t believe me. How dare you make cynical remarks after bullying Bone! You’d better watch out! Tang Bao! Hua Qian Gu, you… Ni Man Tian, how dare you hurt Tang Bao! Let alone me, even your master won’t let you get away with it. I’ll spare you this time, but you won’t get off so easily next time! Bone, what happened? Are you hurt? Let me see. Bone, what happened to you? Does it have to do with the poison from Cauldron of Divination? What else could Ni Man Tian have against you? Don’t ask. Bone! What… What’s taking so long? Could something have happened? Honored Lord and Refined Lord have arrived! Sect leaders, please take a seat. I must thank Venerable Lord for his assistance last time. I heard… that Venerable Lord has been in seclusion… ever since he returned from the battle. Is he injured? What? Is Venerable Lord injured? What kind of injury? Thank you for your concern. All is well with me. Thank you for making the time… to attend Chang Liu’s Immortal Sword Convention. Seven Murder Factions has grown restless lately. Under the leadership of Sha Qian Mo and Shan Chun Qiu, Seven Murder Factions grows stronger day by day. In contrast, although we may have many sects, we are not unified. In my humble opinion, we should do away… with the notion of separate sects… and fight against Seven Murder Faction as one. Venerable Lord, you’re right. If you hadn’t come to my rescue, Yu Zhuo Peak and I would have perished. Venerable Lord, Yu Zhuo Peak is at your disposal. – We are at your disposal. – We are at your disposal. – We are at your disposal. – We are at your disposal. Sect leaders, you must all be weary after the long journey. Get some rest first. After the Immortal Sword Convention comes to an end, we shall discuss this further. Mo Yan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back. Zi Hua! Have you thought about who will lead if the sects form an alliance? You don’t need to worry. If we can unite all the sects, then it makes no difference who is in charge. No matter how little I care for fame and power, I believe that the leader of this alliance… must be a person of virtue and prestige. I’m worried that you will disregard this entirely. It’s not about fame and power, but a responsibility to all the sects! I think you must take the helm yourself… when it is necessary. Mo Yan, why do you even bother? You know that Sect Leader Bai has never liked doing these things. But no matter how I think about it, Zi Hua is the only suitable choice in the alliance! Sect Leader Bai, I suddenly have a very profound question to ask you. Come. Sect Leader Bai, Your face is so lean. Has Chang Liu been making you suffer? No. Father, I’m your daughter. I’m the one who makes others suffer! Now that’s my daughter! – Sit. – Come. Sit. You must be tired. Father, what do you think about… the thing I wrote to you? Tian Er, why do you suddenly want to learn… our sect’s ultimate forbidden technique? Is Chang Liu being selfish… and refusing to teach you their best martial arts? No, I just want to learn more. Besides, you told me it can’t hurt to have many skills. No. Ever since the rule of our sect’s 32nd sect leader, our sect members have been prohibited… from learning Peng Lai’s forbidden technique… because it is an overly malicious technique. It’s unbefitting of an orthodox sect. Unless one’s fate hangs in the balance, it must not be used. Father, rules can be bent. If you allow me to learn it, I’ll make Peng Lai proud in front of all the other sects! No, this is no trivial matter. You cannot practice it for no good reason. Tian Er, I only have one wish in my life. It is for you to live your life happily. Besides, this was also your mother’s dying wish. Father, please. No. I said no! That’s final! I can do this. I can do this. I can find an antidote for Master! It’s already the sixth day. I bring him peach blossom soup every day, but Master hasn’t touched it once. I wonder what has happened to the poison… inside Master’s body. Why are you here again? I… I brought this peach blossom soup. Master! Do my words go in one ear and out the other? No, Master! I don’t know what else to do! I don’t want to leave you, Master! Master! I finally have the honor of your presence. Come, please sit! Please. – Why isn’t he here yet? – Greetings, sect leaders. Go check on him! Sect Leader Bai must still be in isolation. I don’t think we need to ask him to come. You can just take charge. The Immortal Sword Convention is a grand occasion! How can we be so unceremonious about it? If the sect leader doesn’t even show up, what will the other sects think of Chang Liu? I’ll go and check. I’ll go. You… Right now? All right, I’m going. Master. What are you doing? Are you threatening me? I wouldn’t dare. I already told you. I will not take your poison as medicine again. Leave. Master! Sect Leader Bai, what’s going on? Why are you here? Mo Yan insisted that I ask you… to preside over the Immortal Sword Convention, saying that it’s to avoid gossips from the other sects. All right, let’s go. – Sect Leader Bai! – Master! Sect Leader Bai! Master, drink this! I’m afraid your body can’t take it anymore. If Honored Lord and the other sect leaders… see you like this… Qian Gu, listen to me, I can hold on. Master! What will it take for you to drink this? Even if you don’t do it for yourself, you should do it for the world! Sect Leader Bai, are you sure you can hold on like this? Master, please drink this. Everyone, Chang Liu’s annual Immortal Sword Convention… will begin shortly. This competition… allows members of a sect to learn and compare martial skills. One touch concludes the match. Killing is prohibited. The best competitors… will also be placed into consideration… for the successor of Chang Liu’s sect leader. This competition allows the sects to choose the best of the best… for the fight for righteousness. Now, let the competition begin! For the first match, we have Bai Zi Hua’s disciple, Hua Qian Gu, versus… Luo Shi Yi’s disciple, Ni Man Tian! Begin! I really can’t believe… that you are so deeply in love with Venerable Lord. I’m so touched! You’re such an obedient dog. It has been so long since anyone has amused me. What do you think I should tell you to do next? That’s right. What do you think I should do to that annoying worm… who’s always clinging to my master? Ni Man Tian! Given Hua Qian Gu’s current powers, why would she be stuck in a standoff with Ni Man Tian? What did you say? Did you just raise your voice? Don’t forget that I still hold something against you. What are you worried about? How laughable. Do you think this is enough for me to let you go? I’ll reveal your secret right now! No! Bone! Tang Bao, don’t be rash. Sect Leader! Nice job! Great fight! Tian Er, you are my outstanding daughter! Master. Master. Master! What happened? Ni Man Tian was clearly about to lose. Master! Master! Master, are you all right? You intended to kill in order to win. What did I teach you? Master. Master! Master! Master! Master, I know I was wrong! Master! – Master! – Don’t come any closer! Qian Gu, I spent so many years training you, yet you rashly desired to kill at the Immortal Sword Convention! How could I have produced an evil creature like you? Master, I will never do it again! Master, please forgive me! Reflect on your mistake! Master! I know I have erred! Master! Master! Master, I know I was wrong! Master! Master! Master! I was wrong, Master! Master! Master! Master! I know I have erred! Master! Please forgive me, Master! I will never do it again, Master! Master! I know my mistake! I was wrong, Master! I have erred, Master! I know I have done wrong, Master! Master! I know I have erred! Master! I know I have done wrong! Master. Qian Gu! Qian Gu? Qian Gu? Wake up. Master. I was wrong, Master. I have erred. I’m sorry. Master. I’m sorry! Master, I was wrong. How could you have the heart… to let her kneel all night? You clearly couldn’t bear to, so why did you force yourself? She attempted to injure a fellow sect member. According to Chang Liu’s laws, she ought to be sentenced to death. Qian Gu has always had a kind temperament… and never hurt another. Anyone could make a mistake in the spur of the moment. Besides, I believe there is more to this than meets the eye. Is that a reason for her to kill as she pleases? Are you asking me or are you asking yourself? In your heart, you trust in her. You are merely too angry to see that right now. She has already knelt all night. It’s time for you to cool your temper. How is she? Who? “She”? Who is “she”? Have her wounds closed up? You clearly care about her, but you let her kneel outside the entire time. If she keeps kneeling like that, I’m afraid her blood will drown Heartless Hall. What I’m worried about is that Chang Liu’s plants will wither. I took her to the ice cave. Her blood has frozen. She’ll stop bleeding. She won’t be an eyesore outside your door either. Master used to say that… you are the most laid-back and indifferent one… out of the three of us. You’re actually the most principled… and the most obstinate one. Now that this has happened, Qian Gu… truly cannot stay at your side. Zi Hua! I know you’re lying to me! You haven’t countered the poison in you! I refined an antidote for you using Cauldron of Divination. Take it! Zi Hua! Sect Leader Bai, a romance calamity must have befallen you. And it’s an eternal calamity! One has just left and another comes. I’ll go outside and keep her away. It’s fine. I will have to face her… sooner or later. Zi Hua, no matter what, you should take the antidote. Zi Hua, I know you hate me, but you mustn’t risk your life just to spite me. Zi Hua. Don’t trouble yourself. I told you… I’ve countered the poison. It’s Cauldron of Divination’s poison! How many times do I have to say it? The poison in me… has already been countered. Zi Xun, we cultivated together for a millennium. I watched… as you headed towards darkness step by step. Tan Fan died, and I watched as you fell from grace, yet I was powerless to stop you. Why? Why must your obsession run so deep? Are you asking me? You ask me why I’m so obsessed. What about yourself? For Hua Qian Gu, you’re even willing to give up your own life! Hua Qian Gu is my apprentice. What is wrong… I had come… Master! Please forgive me! Don’t ignore me! Answer me. Why did you attempt to kill at the competition? I didn’t teach you techniques so you could use it to kill people! Master, I know my error in my ways. I was eager to win at that moment. I won’t do it again, Master! Do you think I am blind? During the competition, you repeatedly yielded, but you attacked viciously at the crucial moment. What are you hiding? Tell me everything! I… I… Master, I know I was wrong. I lost my senses for a moment. I won’t do it again! Master, please forgive me. Master, please don’t turn me away. When you were cooking, you wouldn’t even kill a chicken. Yet you were about to kill a fellow disciple… in a competition you were bound to win! Do you have so little trust in me? No, I do trust you, Master! You’re still… Master! Master, I’ll help you to your seat. Master. Master! Hua Qian Gu, do you know your sins? Hua Qian Gu, you attempted to slaughter a fellow sect member! According to Chang Liu’s rules, you will be kicked out of the sect! No! You are never to step foot in Chang Liu again. No! Master, I know I was wrong! I won’t do it again! No! I don’t want to leave Chang Liu! I don’t want to! Master, I know I have erred! I won’t do it again! I don’t want to leave Chang Liu! No! I don’t want to! No! Master, I was wrong! Master! Hua Qian Gu, you actually wanted to kill me in the competition! I have kept my promise… and lost to you in the Immortal Sword Convention. Give me back my handkerchief. Originally, you only had to lose to me in the competition… and I would’ve let you off. We would each mind our own businesses. But you wanted to silence me by killing me! Do you have nothing to say to that? All right. Then I would like to see… where your vixen tail is hiding! Since you wanted to kill me for this, then I’ll use it… to return the favor… and torture you. Stop! Get lost. You can’t leave! – Tang Bao! – Bone! Let her leave. Bone, are you all right? Dongfang. Why do you look so haggard? Ni Man Tian stole my handkerchief. She threatened me. That’s why I wanted to kill her in the Immortal Sword Convention. But Master noticed. What handkerchief? What is so serious that you’d let her threaten you… and you’d even attempt to kill her? Because… Because she discovered a secret of mine. A secret? What secret? Never mind. You don’t have to tell me. Don’t worry. I’ll help you fix this. will also produce the candidates for Chang Liu’s next sect leader. That’s why the imperial court sent me here. Why? Does Chang Liu’s decision affect the court? There will likely be an effect to a certain extent. Although Chang Liu has always shunned the world… and never interfered in court affairs… or imperial power struggles, but every Emperor has nevertheless always valued Chang Liu’s stance. I didn’t know it was so complicated. What about Xuan Lang? He’s no longer Meng Xuan Lang. He is learning how to be a good Emperor. What about Qing Shui? Qing Shui is naturally enjoying herself. Although Meng Xuan Lang doesn’t care about her, she doesn’t force him to and is content to stay at his side. So she must be happy. That’s good. I hope they can be happy. One must fight… for their own happiness. At the very least, Qing Shui is the best example. Who are you? What have you done to me? Did Hua Qian Gu send you to kill me? After the Immortal Sword Convention, I knew this day would come. I already used a technique to hide the handkerchief. If I die, it will automatically fly to Venerable Lord and Honored Lord. Open your mouth. Stick out your tongue. No! Are you going to cut out my tongue? Do you think I won’t be able to talk that way? Hua Qian Gu, you are vicious! If I die, I will haunt you! Release me! Why did you do this? Where is the handkerchief? Save your breath! Why should I tell you? It’s in the jewelry box in the cabinet. Tell me… that you won’t tell anyone Hua Qian Gu’s secret in any way. I won’t tell anyone… I won’t tell anyone Hua Qian Gu’s secret in any way. Nor will you tell anyone what happened to you tonight. Nor will I tell anyone… what happened here tonight. Good girl. All this will be in your mind. You won’t be able to talk about it even if you want to. Farewell. That’s right. Were Bone’s injuries caused by you? How could you? Fellow sect members should be kind to one another. Don’t do it again. You? Is there any place in Chang Liu… that you are unable to enter? Why? Are you going to put me to death for this? Lord of Strange Decay, you don’t need to hide it anymore. I already know your identity. So what if you do? You had best kill me in front of Hua Qian Gu. You should stop. Let all these grievances come to an end. Dong Hua has disappeared. Tan Fan died tragically. Wu Gou killed himself. Zi Xun has become a fallen immortal. And I… I’m severely affected by poison from Cauldron of Divination. There is no cure. Shouldn’t you let go… of all your resentment now? I have merely done what I should have done. None of them… were innocent. You used every possible means to guide Qian Gu here. Wasn’t it all for this day? Qian Gu is naturally pure and simple. How could you have the heart to continue deceiving her? After I die, take her away. What did you say? After I die, you must do your utmost… to take care of her. Don’t let her be alone again. Bai Zi Hua, you are always so self-righteous. Don’t assume that I will spare you after you say that. In the coming days, I will drive her out of Chang Liu. Chang Liu… is no longer a place for her. (The mountain has trees and trees have branches.) Dongfang, how did it go? Is there anything I can’t fix? Here. This is great, Dongfang. But why would Ni Man Tian be willing to give this to you? Don’t worry about it. I have my ways. I made a small deal with her. Don’t worry. She won’t blackmail you again. Nor will she talk about this. – Really? – Yes. Dongfang, thank you. You helped me once again. I don’t know what to say. I didn’t actually help much. You got through this whole ordeal on your own, didn’t you? Others might not see how much you suffer, but I do. Since I have the handkerchief back, I just hope… everything can go back to the right track. “The mountain has trees and the trees have branches.” “I adore thee, though thou does not know.” He is the one you drew, so you can’t bear to burn it. This item bears the weight… of all your feelings for him, doesn’t it? Yes. This is the biggest mistake of my life, So it was all real. Hua Qian Gu. let’s see who wins in the end. How many times have I told you… to concentrate on cultivation and clear your mind of distractions? Instead, look at what you’ve done! Tongues are wagging all over Chang Liu. You’re all grown up now. You and a spirit worm… Grandmaster! Master! You must defend me! What are you doing here? I… What is it? What’s wrong with you? Why do you speak without a sound? I… Are you under a spell of secrecy? Yes! She must be under a spell of secrecy. – Examine her. – Yes. There’s nothing. What a powerful spell. Write it down. All right. Yes. I… Bring it here. Master, it’s best if you don’t see it. Bring it here now! Yes. (Mo Yan) Get out! Hua Qian Gu, you… Ni Man Tian. The feud between us ends here. From now on, we will stay out of each other’s way, neither owing the other. Don’t even think about it! Don’t assume that this will stop me from revealing your scandal! I will ruin your reputation, never able to redeem yourself! Master. Master, I did wrong. You can punish me in any way, but you must take this medicine… or you’ll lose your life! Master, whether you drink it or not, I will continue refining medicine for you every day. All right. Come with me. (Avarice Hall) Didn’t I tell you all to leave? Zi Hua? Kneel. Founder of Chang Liu Sect above, with Mo Yan as a witness, from this day forth, Hua Qian Gu… is no longer my disciple. Master. Why? At the Immortal Sword Convention, you disregarded camaraderie between sect members… and violated sect rules. That cannot be tolerated. Therefore, I am expelling you from Heartless Hall. From now on, you are not my disciple. You are simply an ordinary disciple. Master, don’t! I am willing to accept any punishment! Master, please do not forsake me! I know I was wrong! Master. Please forgive me. – You broke sect rules. – Master! You ought to be kicked out of Chang Liu! Enough! I have made up my mind. Return to Heartless Hall… and pack your things. No, Master! I truly realize the error of my ways. Won’t you please forgive me? Let go! Master! (Avarice Hall) If it isn’t Qian Gu! Why are you kneeling here? Evil truly has its retribution. – Bone! – Tang Bao! Bone! – Get up quickly, Bone! – Tang Bao. Go away! Master! Let’s all kneel. – Yes, let’s kneel! – Let’s kneel together! – Venerable Lord and Honored Lord. – Venerable Lord and Honored Lord. – Please have mercy! – Please have mercy! You… Qian Gu. Get up first. This won’t help at all. Move out of Heartless Hall for the time being. I’ll find a chance to speak to your master later. All right? All of you should get up too. Stand up. I waited so many years… for you to finally take in a disciple. But in the blink of an eye, you have driven her out. But perhaps… this is… the best outcome. Master. I am moving out of Heartless Hall. Please take good care of yourself. I was already blessed by Heaven… to be able to become your disciple… in this lifetime. However, I am not fated to enjoy such fortune. I can no longer stay at your side. But… no matter what lengths I have to go to, even if it costs me my life, I will find the antidote for you! Please wait for me! Master. Qian Gu. Why are you here? I remember that you reside at Heartless Hall. You’re Venerable Lord’s chief disciple… and the star of Chang Liu. Now that you have fallen so low, the people who knelt with you must be so disappointed. Ni Man Tian! Don’t be so condescending! Don’t assume I’m afraid of you because you’re helping her. What? Do you want to kill me in front of all these people? Don’t push me. Others might fear you… for being the daughter of Peng Lai’s sect leader, but I’m not afraid. If you act so arrogantly again, you might catch the blade of my sword! Qian Gu! Thank you for just now. The two of us… – can’t stand her existence. – Yes. – Qing Luo and Huo Xi. – Yes. Thank you for helping me. But I don’t want my misunderstanding with Ni Man Tian… to affect your relationship with her. It’s no wonder you get bullied! You’re practically hopeless! You… Qian Gu. Don’t worry about it. It’s actually quite nice here. It is not bad. How could something so big happen the one day I was gone? I have truly disappointed Master this time. I shouldn’t have had the intent to kill Ni Man Tian. What are your plans now? Dongfang. I have run out of ideas. Master… Master was affected by poison from the Cauldron of Divination… when he saved me. Poison from the Cauldron of Divination? There isn’t much time left now. I need to find the antidote as soon as possible. But I… Dongfang, help me! Tell me what I should do! What should I do? The only person in this world who can answer that… is Lord of Strange Decay. – Lord of Strange Decay? – Yes. Yes, I’ll go to him… even if he wants my life in exchange. If anything happens to me, please help me take care of Tang Bao. You will live to make it back. (Pavilion of Strange Decay) Lu Qiao, I need to see Lord of Strange Decay… about an urgent matter. Please take me to see him. Come with me. Why do people always cut in line? You finally came. Did you know I would come? I told you… there is nothing in this world that I don’t know. Lord of Strange Decay. How can poison from the Cauldron of Divination be negated? The answer… to this question comes at a high cost. I will pay any price! Are you sure? I’m sure. The answer… is your life. All right. Once I have saved Master, I will hand my life over to you… to do with as you please. Your serious expression… is the same as the first time I met you. No. You seem more resolute than before. Your life… isn’t the cost for this answer. Then what do you want? I heard that your cooking skills are pretty good. How about cooking up a tableful of your specialty dishes? A tableful of dishes? What? Do you think this price is too much? No. On the contrary, it’s too little. Then get to cooking. I could change my mind at any moment. All right, I’ll go right away. So where is the kitchen? Come with me. Is this how you usually cook? What? Nothing. Cook quickly. I’m getting hungry. Wait a moment. It’ll be ready soon. Lord of Strange Decay. The food is ready. Have a taste. If it isn’t to your taste, I’ll cook something else entirely. If you’re afraid I’ll see your face while you’re eating, I can step away. I only asked you to make a tableful of delicious food. I didn’t say I would eat it. You made such a sumptuous feast… with such simple ingredients. You could be an imperial chef in the palace. I am a bit afraid of eating it. What if I get addicted to the taste? Then every time you come here to ask a question, you’ll cook up a tableful of dishes in exchange. My Pavilion of Strange Decay… will surely close down in two weeks. Poison from the Cauldron of Divination… isn’t incurable. while I can only be with her from behind a mask. Whether it is Lord of Strange Decay or Dongfang Yu Qing, I cannot shed my appearance… and have a proper meal with her. It’s not too late to have regrets. Zi Hua is severely ill from the poison. Aren’t you satisfied yet? Are you still unable to let it go? You have to know… that tormenting him is the same as tormenting Qian Gu… and tormenting Hua Qian Gu… is equal to tormenting yourself. I can no longer turn back. Nor will I. Lord of Strange Decay. Are you really going to help Hua Qian Gu save Bai Zi Hua? Isn’t your goal… Making Bai Zi Hua watch the God of Demons come into being… will be more enjoyable than watching him die slowly. The two of you may go. Yes. (“Book on Breaking the Seal on Holy Relics”) Who is it? Dongfang, it’s me. Bone? It’s so late. Come in quickly. I don’t recognize a single character in here. Help me take a look. This is the method for breaking the seal on the holy relics. What are you going to do? I went to the Pavilion of Strange Decay. Lord of Strange Decay said that… the only thing in the world… that can cure Master’s poison is Jade of Flaming Water. Jade of Flaming Water’s location… has been unknown for years. Nobody has ever seen it. Nor does anybody know where it is. So… only by gathering the other nine holy relics… and breaking the seal… will Jade of Flaming Water automatically come into place. Bone, do you know the consequences of breaking the seal? I know. But to save Master, I cannot worry about that. I know what Bai Zi Hua means to you, but you have to understand that this is a path of no return. Do you know the consequences of doing this? Do you think I still have a choice? Dongfang. I know. You’re worried… about me finding the nine holy relics… so Jade of Flaming Water will return to its place, and I can cure Master of the poison. Though my motives are different, I am… basically doing the same thing… as Shan Chun Qiu. Gathering… all the holy relics… is a very dangerous thing to do. If I’m not careful, the God of Demons will be brought into the world, forcing the world turns into chaos and misery. You know your master… has always placed the world and its people first. Even if he becomes mortally injured, he would never let you gather the holy relics… or let the God of Demons manifest. As long as Jade of Flaming Water appears… and I cure Master of poison, I will use the No Return Inkstone… to return the holy relics to their respective places. I won’t let the God of Demons come into the world. Do you know Bai Zi Hua won’t forgive you even if you save him? Given his personality, he will surely kill you! I know. But at this point, this is the only chance at saving Master’s life. I am willing to pay any price! You would rather die than live in dishonor. Bone, won’t you listen to my advice one last time? You don’t need to say anymore. I won’t change my mind. I know. You have always thought of me as a brother, but I have never thought of you as a sister! And you? You never thought of Bai Zi Hua… as simply your master, have you? Yes. But… I only want to be Master’s disciple forever. I just want to be a child in his eyes. If I can remain at Master’s side, I would rather never grow up! All right. I understand. But Bone, if you no longer feel that way about your master one day, you must remember… that I am always by your side. I will never give up. Never. Dongfang. Time is running out. Help me read this. All right. I’m done. – Dongfang. – Don’t say any more. Do what you deem worth doing. Dongfang, I owe you too much. I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to repay you in this lifetime. If you keep talking, I’m afraid I’ll try to stop you. Go quickly. I’m leaving now. I know… that every time I help you, my plan takes another step toward success. But… my heart hurts as if I set fire to myself. Bone, all of you were dragged into this abyss by me. And I? I thought I could be a spectator and an outsider. But now, how can I remain detached from this? Humans follow the laws of Earth. Earth follows the laws of Heaven. Heaven follows the laws of Tao. Tao follows the laws of nature. To he who embraces Tao, all under Heaven will come. They come without harm, in harmonious peace. Great perfection seems flawed, yet functions without failure. Great fullness seems empty, yet functions without exhaustion. Great straightness seems bent. Great skill seems unrefined. Great eloquence seems inarticulate. Stillness overcomes movement. Coldness overcomes heat. Vital energy of heaven and earth, unlock the power of chaos in me! Lord of Strange Decay didn’t lie to me. Master. I finally mastered it. (Heartless Hall) Venerable Lord and Honored Lord have given orders… that you are not to step foot into Heartless Hall. Li Meng. Please let me inside to see Master. You are no longer Venerable Lord’s disciple. Please leave. – Please! – Nothing you say will help. Two days have already passed. I wonder if Master is well. If the poison acts up, then even if I find Jade of Flaming Water, I fear there will be nothing that can be done. No. I must find a way… to suppress the poison in Master’s body first. (Heartless Hall) Who’s there? Master! Hua Qian Gu! You are no longer an inner disciple of mine. Without permission, you are not allowed to enter Heartless Hall. Leave at once. – Master! – I am no longer your master! Leave. – Master! – Leave! Hua Qian Gu. You mustn’t be discouraged. This isn’t the time to be brokenhearted. Master is waiting for you to save him. Yes. Save Master. Jade of Flaming Water. I need to find Jade of Flaming Water quickly. You are so well-mannered now. Get angry! Get angry! Why aren’t you getting angry? Enough! Whose side are you on? Stop before you go too far. Step aside! Why didn’t you dodge it? Get out of the way! Stop it. Shuo Feng. Are you all right? Your injury… I’m fine. How did you get that wound on your hand? I’m fine. Shuo Feng. I can’t tell you yet. After I fix this problem, I’ll tell you everything. Why? Don’t ask me why. I will tell you everything. Answer me. Why are you always protecting Hua Qian Gu? Have you fallen for Hua Qian Gu? No. No? Then why are you always protecting her? You won’t tell me, will you? Fine. Then I’ll make her life a living hell! Let go! Let go! Let it go. Not on your life. Forsaking? Could it be… Master! Master! What’s wrong? I’ll get Honored Lord. I’m telling Honored Lord! He’ll tear you into pieces! What’s wrong? I’ll get Honored Lord. I’m telling Honored Lord! He’ll tear you into pieces! Not everything is what you think it is. Master is poisoned! You witch. You must have seduced Venerable Lord! You ruined Chang Liu’s reputation! I know! It’s all my fault! I’m begging you. Please don’t tell anyone. Kill me then. I won’t keep such thing a secret. This is incest! You deceived your master! Dongfang! – Qian Gu? – Where’s Dongfang? He went back to serve the emperor. He’s gone? I… I really don’t have another choice? Master. I’m sorry. I have no choice. When I’m done taking care of things, I’ll leave Chang Liu, and all… will be peaceful again. No. Little One is in trouble. Little One! Ms. Sha! What’s wrong? What happened? Ms. Sha, I beg you. Please help me. Teach me how to captivate souls! Captivating Souls? Why do you want to learn that? I’ll tell you after everything is settled. Is that all right? Hua Qian Gu! You witch! You seduced your own master. You betrayed and looked away from your morals! Just kill me, Hua Qian Gu! Hua Qian Gu! I’m sorry. Master. Forgive me. It’s best if you forget all the unpleasant… and painful memories. Master. I would never do this… if I had another choice. I hope one day… you will understand me. Why can’t I remember anything? Was Qian Gu here? Did I… Li Meng! – Venerable Lord. – Go get Hua Qian Gu for me. – Honored Lord said… – Go! Yes. Bone! I have something to tell you. What is it? Shi Yi confessed his love to me today. What do you think… I should do? What did he say? He said, “Tang Bao.” “I like you a lot.” “Will you let me take care of you forever?” “Even if Master punishes me…” “and banishes me out of here,” “I still want to be with you.” And then? And then… And then… He kissed me when I was… in daze. What about you? Do you have feelings for him? Yes. I do. Good. From now on, Shi Yi will be the one to protect you. I don’t have to worry anymore. What do you mean? As long as you and Shi Yi are with me, I’m not afraid of anything. Bone. What’s wrong with you? Are you still sad about what happened to Venerable Lord? Don’t worry! Dongfang said he would find a way… to fix things before he left. I believe him! Hua Qian Gu! Venerable Lord asks for you. – Master? – Yes. Follow me. – Li Meng. – Yes. I… I think I saw you somewhere today. Why? Did you go to Heartless Hall again? No! Then you couldn’t possibly have seen me. I’ve been standing outside the hall all day. I must’ve mistaken you for someone else. Venerable Lord, Hua Qian Gu is here. Good. You may be excused. Yes. Master. No. Venerable Lord. If you’re not used to it, you can still call me Master. I need… to ask you something. Did you… stop by today? I didn’t. I didn’t. I wanted to come… but Li Meng wouldn’t let me in. Master. Are you feeling better? How are you holding up? Do you need me to… No need. Qian Gu. I have prepared you… some books you need to read for the next couple of years. Some dilemmas you might encounter… are written… on a blue pamphlet. If you need help, you just go through the pamphlet… and do what it says. Master… A few days later, I’ll be leaving Chang Liu. I will be at the Ninth Heaven… and wait for my time to go. I have made peace… with myself. You no longer… have to help me stay alive. As for the relics, after I unseal them, I’ll give them to Honored Lord. He will take them to different factions… and tell the world… that I’ve gone into isolation. We need to keep this a secret as long as we can. Or else Chang Liu will be in chaos. No, Master! – No… – Qian Gu. I’ve informed Honored Lord. He will carry on to teach you. Although you’re technically… not my disciple anymore, no matter what happens in the future, he will… help you in my place. No, Master. I don’t want anyone else. I just want you! Qian Gu. Listen to me. Everything that’s happened over the last few months… is meant to happen. We should already be grateful… that you were able… to use your power to help me stay alive. Remember what I said. You must not kill. Understood? Master. I’ve never held grudges against you! Never! Qian Gu. You’re not new. You must not obsess over death! It’s almost… four years since I took you in. You’re an adult now. You should know… that obsession… will destroy you. Qian Gu… You should head back to Mount Shu. Do right by Taoist Qing Xu’s wish. Make Mount Shu great again. Master, I’m begging you. Please let me stay in Chang Liu. I’ve made up my mind. Master. At least… Please at least wait three more days! My birthday is three days later. Master, celebrate with me… and then I will leave, will you? I want… to cook for you for three more days. Please, Master! Please? Fine. Go to Li Meng. Say that you’ll stay in Heartless Hall for a few days. Thank you, Master. I don’t care. I’ve made a decision. Bone. Bone, I’m coming with you. Tang Bao, remember this. No one will ever love you like I love you. But… Chang Liu and Shi Yi… are your life partners. I don’t want Chang Liu nor… I don’t care. I’ll go where you go. Shi Yi. I’ll leave her to you. Can you promise me… that no matter who tries to hurt Tang Bao, you’ll protect her… and never leave her side? Qian Gu. I swear to God. No matter what happens, no matter who hurts her, I’ll protect her… and take good care of her. All right. If Honored Lord is against your relationship, out of your love for Tang Bao, you must have courage and stand up for yourselves. If one day, Chang Liu is no longer your home, I’ll be waiting for you at Mount Shu. When will you leave? Three days from now. My fellow disciples. I’ll leave here for Mount Shu… three days from now. You’ve been looking out for me… ever since I came here. I… sincerely thank you. Hua Qian Gu! Why don’t we throw you a party? – That sounds good! – I’m in! I’ll help! – Let’s go! – Yes! – Come on! – Let’s go. Shuo Feng! – Let’s go! – Come! Here! Let’s make a toast to Hua Qian Gu! Let’s do it! We’re getting drunk tonight! – Yes! – Don’t forget about us. Thank you. – Here! – Drink up! Qian Gu, although Huo Xi and I used to make fun of you, now we think you’re amazing… – from the bottom of our hearts! – We do! Be safe. – Thank you. – Cheers, Qian Gu. Chang Liu is too much for you. Going back to Mount Shu… with your head low is quite a good idea. Even if Hua Qian Gu’s gone, you won’t be the chief disciple either! What are you on about? – Man Tian, stop! – Hey! Were you going to hit me in front of everyone? I’m so scared! From now on, Hua Qian Gu will be the Sect Leader of Mount Shu. You must bow to her whenever you see her. You will always be her inferior… – forever! – She’s right! Never! Hua Qian Gu. I’ll never bow down to you! – Wait. – Wait. – Come on! – Let’s drink! – Cheers. – Cheers. – Drink up! – Cheers! – Let’s get drunk! – Cheers! – Cheers! – Cheers! What are you up to? Nothing. What exactly are you hiding? I’m not hiding anything. Ever since you came back with Venerable Lord, you two have been staying out of public eyes. First, Venerable Lord’s isolation. And then, you were banished from Heartless Hall. I see injuries on your wrists. And you had to get medicine for nurturing blood. Hua Qian Gu. What are you up to? If you refuse to tell me, I’ll expose you. I’ve never heard you said so many words… since I met you. What a moment. What’s wrong? Are you going to captivate my soul too? Say it. What’s going on? Master… Master was poisoned by the Cauldron of Divination. This is a secret. You mustn’t tell anyone. So… The reason you’re so weak… is because you’ve been giving Venerable Lord your vital energy… to stop the poison from spreading, am I right? No! Master was poisoned because he came to rescue me. Then you’ve been busy thinking of ways to save him. Right? You figured out a way. Otherwise, you wouldn’t look so sure of yourself. You’re not going back to Mount Shu. You’re going to find the cure. And… I guess it’ll be dangerous. Am I right? Yes. What do you need? The Jade of Flaming Water. Are you saying… that you want to collect nine other relics… to put the Jade of Flaming Water back to its place? Yes. I’ll do whatever it takes to save him. All right. I’ll help you. Shuo Feng. You have nothing to do with this. I don’t want to drag you down. If it really is that dangerous, two people working together… will reduce the danger by half. Besides, trust me. I can help you. If people find out, according to Chang Liu’s rules, dying 100 times won’t even be enough. Are you certain? Qian Gu. I’m not helping you here. Venerable Lord must not die. If he dies, the world is over. And… no matter what, he must stay alive. When do we leave? Tomorrow. All right. Master, a toast to you. Thank you for giving me a place as warm as home. I have caused you so many troubles. In the future… In the future, I will obey your instructions… and never cause trouble again. Qian Gu. This is the last time… I celebrate your birthday with you. You have to… take care of yourself. Master, I will. Master, I made this dish just for you. Try it. Master. Master, one more toast. Master. Can you take out your Flowing Light Harp? I want to play something for you. Sure. “Sun shines on a bright day.” “A friend’s departure leaves me with ache.” “Birds flying to a meadow.” “Just like us running for the world.” “Moon, take my worry to my friend.” “Cloud, let him know I’ll wait for him on this end.” Master, was it good? Qian Gu. I feel a bit tired. Will you take me back to rest? Sure. Master. I’m sorry. I drugged your wine. Because… this is the only way to save you. Danger awaits me. Master. You have to make it until I come back. Did you come alone? What if I kill you? You won’t have to. When I’m done doing what I have to do, punishments will come. High Immortal Zi Xun, I have one request. A request for me, from you? Would you mix the poison… with medicine… and give it to Master… so that he can survive for now? Whose poison is this? It’s the poison of my body. Only my poison… can temporarily suppress the one inside him. But Master… I’m begging you. I don’t think he’ll make it. The poison from Cauldron of Divination is hard to crack. But I will do everything I can… to keep him alive. You don’t have to step in. I know the cure. But… it’s something I have to get myself. So… please keep it a secret for me. And watch over Master before I come back. I will definitely bring the cure back. And if I fail, I don’t care if I have to give him all the poison of my body. I’ll do it to keep him safe. All right. I’ll believe you just this one time. Come back as soon as you can. I’ll do my best… to stall the poison from eating him alive. But if you fail to save him with the cure, I’ll make you understand… what it feels like… to beg for death. Thank you. Don’t thank me. I’m not helping you. I’m helping Zi Hua. I thought… after all the years of waiting for Zi Hua, no one loved him as much as I did. But the truth is… the sacrifices I made for him… don’t match with Hua Qian Gu’s. Zi Hua… Why did you have to take someone like her to be yours? Master. Wait for me. I’ll bring the Jade of Flaming Water back to you.
