[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "Douluo Continent"]

[Episode 11]

What do you think?

Do you still like it?

It's delicious.

It still tastes like it used to.

In the past, Father liked this as well.

When you and Eldest Brother caused trouble,

I remember I always had to make this snack to make Father happy,

so he would scold both of you less.

How is Eldest Brother?

I went to visit him.

He looked a lot frailer than before.

Clear Sky Clan might be retired

but he still needs to manage many major and minor issues of the clan.

Since you've returned, let me go back to the clan with you.

I've let the clan and him down.

He might not say it but he has always missed you.

My name has been removed by the Clear Sky Clan.

I can no longer go back.

I'll go back with you.

Eldest Brother and the elders will surely forgive you.

It's not time yet.

In the future, I will return to the clan and apologize in my own way.

He looks similar to you when you were young.

These are the ores you wanted.

I was only able to find these at Gengxin City.

They might be useful to you in the future.

Father, you purposely found these for me.

When you've completed your training, come and find me in the valley.

Don't worry, Brother.

I will take good care of him.

Tell Eldest Brother

that Xiao San is my explanation to the clan.

He is A'Yin's and my son.

He is our only son.

Xiao San,

since your father left you in my hands,

I will surely educate you well.

As long as I can become strong,

I'm not afraid no matter how torturing, tiring, or dangerous it is.

I will always remember your teaching.

I'm ready.

I can begin training at any time.

It's torturing and tiring indeed.

However, it's another kind.

Xiao San, I hope you can learn about how to control your own emotions.

Become a truly strong person.

Don't repeat my mistakes.

This is the garden of Moon Pavilion.

Many people pass by this place.

You must hide your identity to prevent any future troubles.

Come with me.

Every music instrument in Moon Pavilion is a guqin.

Every one of them is unique.

Before you touch the musical instrument, you must make sure that your hand

has no water, dirt, or sharp objects to prevent harming the guqin.

While cleaning your hand, the most important thing is to calm your heart.

This is the rule of Moon Pavilion.

Don't worry, Aunt.

I won't touch them.

These lines are made from Ice Silk from the extreme North.

Every string is very valuable.

Wiping the strings is to make sure that every string

is sleek, even, pure, smooth, and clean.

So, your technique must be light and gentle.

[Guqin Knowledge]

The guqin is known as the seven-string instrument.

The first string represents Earth and is Do.

It's in sync with the four seasons.

It is made with 81 threads. The sound is deep and noble.

It is called Emperor.

The second string represents Metal and is Re.

It's in sync with Autumn. It is made with 72 threads.

It is called Officials.

The third string represents Wood and is Mi.

It's in sync with Spring. It is made with 63 threads.

It is called Citizens.

The fourth string represents Fire and is Sol.

It's in sync with Summer. It is made with 54 threads.

It is called Matters.

The fifth string represents Water and is La.

It's in sync with Winter. It is made with 45 threads.

It is called Objects.

The sixth string is high Do.

It's in sync with the Literary Star.

It resists toughness with gentleness.

The seventh is high Re.

It's in sync with the Martial Arts Star. It resists gentleness with toughness.

So, don't underestimate this musical instrument.

Our ancestors used the philosophy

of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements, and Four Seasons to create it

so the people who play the instrument can remember the principle of balance

where movement and stillness complement each other and toughness and gentleness are combined.

Xiao San.

Do you remember what I said just now?

Sorry, Aunt.

I was preoccupied with your music and only remember a part of it.

It's all right. [Guqin Knowledge]

[Guqin Knowledge]

Read it once every time you wipe the guqin.

When you wipe all the guqin, you will remember everything.

Wipe the guqin?

Yes.

Today, you must wipe all of them clean.

This is your first lesson at Moon Pavilion.

What? Can't you do it?

Of course, I can wipe them.

However, what am I learning by doing that?

Wiping the guqin is to train your state of mind.

Moon Pavilion is the Heaven Dou imperial family's academy of etiquette.

Noble etiquette and music are taught here.

Since you are here at Moon Pavilion, you must obey my arrangements.

I understand.

You may begin.

The guqin is spiritual.

It can feel the restlessness of your aura.

I told you cleaning your hands equaled calming your mind.

If your mind isn't calm, you can't touch the guqin.

Xiao San, today, you must wipe all the guqin here until they are spotless.

If you fail to control your strength and break the strings,

I think you will be in no rush to find your father.

Just compensate them with work.

Don't worry, Aunt.

I know what to do.

It's not enough for a person to only have strong abilities.

Just like your father.

He might be strong, but his mental state is bruised and battered.

So, he hid himself in a corner and wouldn't face reality.

Did you say the man was wearing a mask?

Our recruitment at Moon Pavilion was going well

then the masked man appeared out of nowhere.

He even had a scary aura on him.

That's right. He came and caused trouble.

He is obviously disrespecting Martial Soul Hall.

Where is he now?

I think he knows the owner of Moon Pavilion.

He has probably gone to Moon Pavilion.

I understand.

You may leave.

- Yes. - Yes.

Who is it?

Aunt, I didn't know it was you.

I brought some snacks for you.

Thank you, Aunt.

You cleaned them well.

The control of your mind is better than I expected,

but it is still far from enough.

Don't worry. I don't blame you for this.

I scared you.

I will compensate for this string.

However, I have a question.

How can you easily remove my Demon Domain every time?

Moreover, I can't feel any movement of soul power on you.

This is my Talent Domain, Noble Circle.

Do you know?

My soul power is only level 9.

Level 9?

Yes. You should know that it means I can't even have a soul ring.

However, I can remove your Demon Domain.

Do you know why?

I don't.

Although I don't have a soul ring, I can control my domain well.

Not even your father can do this better than me.

If your father had understood this sooner,

perhaps the tragedy back then wouldn't have happened.

What happened back then?

Your father will tell you about the past.

If you want to become stronger, you need to control everything about yourself.

Especially your emotions and aura.

So, I came to Moon Pavilion to study music

and etiquette to control my domain?

That's right.

Soon, you will understand that everything you learn isn't what it seems on the surface.

What Moon Pavilion wants to teach you is complete control of your own emotions.

This domain has given me a feeling that I've never felt in the past.

If I control it, won't I weaken myself instead?

Do your best to control it so you can release it whenever you want.

That is how you truly master the domain skills.

I think your aura matches this better.

From tomorrow onward, you will learn this.

Who is disturbing my rest?

Stop it immediately.

All of you, get lost!

What is it?

Yesterday, I heard from other students about a new student in Moon Pavilion. [Xue Beng, Fourth Prince of Heaven Dou]

I'm guessing it's you.

Which imperial family do you come from?

Why do you hide your face by wearing a mask?

I'm not part of the imperial family.

Moreover, whether I wear a mask or not is none of your business.

How dare you talk back to me.

You asked for this.

How dare you hurt me.

You... You must have a death wish!

It's really him.

[Moon Pavilion]

If you can't understand magnanimity from music,

you will never graduate from my place no matter how good you are.

I understand.

Fourth Prince, you've skipped lessons and slacked for many days.

Today, you argued with a fellow student.

I will report everything you did to His Majesty honestly.

I understand, Lady Yue.

You can't trespass into Moon Pavilion.

I must search Moon Pavilion today.

Lady Yue, someone from Martial Soul Hall is here.

They say they are looking for someone named Tang Yin.

There's no one called Tang Yin here.

Ask them to leave.

I told them but they wouldn't listen.

How dare the people from Martial Soul Hall come and cause trouble when the Fourth Prince is here.

They are so lawless.

I'll go and take a look. Don't worry.

With me around, I don't think they'll dare cause any trouble.

Aunt, you should let me go.

They came here for me.

I promised your father to take good care of you.

You should hide for now.

Control yourself.

- I'll deal with it. - But...

If you act recklessly, you'll get more people involved in this.

Who is making noise here?

Martial Soul Hall has been ordered to find someone here.

I am the Fourth Prince of Heaven Dou.

If you have anything, you can tell me.

I'm not looking for you. Ask Tang Yin to come out.

I'm afraid you are in the wrong place.

The person you are searching for isn't here.

An Innate Domain? The owner of Moon Pavilion is extraordinary indeed.

Whether he's here or not, I'll know once I search this place.

Lady Yue, I didn't expect your place to be so lively.

Your Highness.

Eldest Brother? Why are you here?

As your older brother, what's wrong with me visiting my fourth brother?

Your Highness.

Why is someone from Martial Soul Hall here?

I am Hu Liena.

I came here to find a Clear Sky Clan disciple on Her Holiness' order.

Moon Pavilion is an academy of etiquette for imperial families.

Everyone who is studying here is a noble.

The person you're looking for won't be here.

Besides, Clear Sky Clan has been hiding in seclusion for years.

Why would their disciples appear here?

Have you made a mistake?

Your Highness is right.

I'm sure the person is here.

This person is crucial to Martial Soul Hall.

Clear Sky Clan has had a deep grudge against Martial Soul Hall for a long time.

I believe Heaven Dou won't get involved in this, right?

Fourth Brother, have you seen the person she mentioned?

I haven't.

See?

The person you are looking for isn't here.

With two princes as a guarantee, do you still not believe it?

I must search this place with my men.

Please cooperate, Your Highness.

If I find this person,

Martial Soul Hall will owe Heaven Dou a favor.

Lady Yue,

since the person isn't here, why not let her search the place?

I dare not disobey Your Highness' order.

However, Moon Pavilion isn't a place in the countryside.

If you want to search, you can only search the place alone.

Please come with me.

What is behind this door?

You searched every other place.

However, this is my private residence.

Is Martial Soul Hall going to trespass into this place, too?

Aunt.

Please move.

I allowed you to search this place because His Highness asked for a favor.

Don't go overboard.

I'm here on Her Holiness' orders.

If you are going to stop me,

I have no choice but to offend you.

Your domain might be powerful but I'm afraid you have reached your limits.

Are you sure you're going to keep resisting me and force me to fight you?

Moon Pavilion is the imperial family's academy of etiquette.

I'm the person hired by His Majesty.

No matter what, I must protect Moon Pavilion's dignity.

Someone, chase her away!

How dare you cause trouble at a place under Heaven Dou's imperial jurisdiction.

Stop!

- Lady Yue, are you all right? - I'm fine.

You're acting so arrogantly.

Are you trying to make Heaven Dou into your enemy?

This is impossible.

I felt his Demon Domain just now.

You're so presumptuous!

My imperial brother was talking to you! Are you deaf?

Moreover, the plants in Moon Pavilion are rare.

Can you pay for the plants if you destroy them?

I told you the person you are looking for isn't here.

I will forget about what happened today.

You should leave now.

You can leave now.

If you don't, I will ask Her Holiness to give me an explanation in person.

Hold it!

Are you trying to leave after causing trouble at Moon Pavilion?

I was just acting according to orders.

If Lady Yue worked with me, it wouldn't have ended like this.

If Moon Pavilion is not satisfied, you can come and find me at Martial Soul Hall.

No need.

From now on, no one from Martial Soul Hall can step foot in Moon Pavilion anymore.

Farewell.

I shouldn't have let her enter.

Lady Yue, do you know the Clear Sky Clan disciple she spoke of?

Or do you have any trouble you can't speak of? You can tell me.

I can help you.

- Your Highness... - She doesn't know.

It's obvious that Martial Soul Hall was purposely trying to provoke the imperial family.

I'll tell Imperial Father to send troops and destroy Martial Soul Hall.

See if she is still so arrogant.

What nonsense are you speaking?

Imperial Father sent you to Moon Pavilion to cultivate yourself.

Why are you still so stubborn?

You and Imperial Father were the ones who asked me to learn these boring things here.

The nerds are quite fun to play with.

Otherwise, I would've left.

If you are still so stubborn, I'll request Imperial Father for an edict

to send you to the borders and train your personality.

Imperial Brother, did you come here just to scold me?

Imperial Father is ill and misses you.

He wants me to bring you back.

Great. I'm getting sick of this place.

I want to find Poison Douluo to play with his venomous insects.

Fourth Prince is a forthright person. There's no need to control him.

This is really embarrassing, Lady Yue.

Imperial Father asked me to greet you.

Please tell His Majesty to take care of his health.

I still need to manage things here.

Forgive me for not sending you off.

Someone, send His Highness off.

Guard this place and don't let outsiders come in.

Yes.

Xiao San.

Aunt.

You are smart.

Show me.

You are hurt.

Don't worry, Aunt.

I was slashed by Hu Liena's soul power.

I have the Blue Silver Domain. It will heal soon.

All right.

Aunt!

Sit down.

Aunt, how do you feel?

Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine.

You may leave.

Your Majesty, you must take care of your health.

It's fine.

Last night, I played a game with Crown Prince and caught a cold.

Crown Prince always makes a fuss about nothing and asks me to take care.

The Crown Prince is filial. He is an example for the people.

The Crown Prince is worthy of your praise.

If Xue Beng could be as good as his brother,

I would be so relieved.

Fourth Prince has been protected by Your Majesty and the Crown Prince,

so it is natural for him to be willful.

Moreover, he will surely achieve great things after studying at Moon Pavilion.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

It's exactly because we have been protecting him, so we spoiled him.

He is coming back today.

I want to see what he has learned.

Martial Soul Hall has made a mess of Star Dou Forest.

We must place a strict order for Soul Masters within the border to stay away from that place.

One. It's for their safety.

Two. It's best not to offend the soul beasts there for now.

If these soul beasts run out of the forest,

the people will suffer.

Your Majesty is thoughtful.

However, there's some movement in Martial Soul Hall again.

Regarding Bibi Dong using disciple recruitment as a ruse

to gather high-level Soul Masters, I've read the reports.

On the surface, Martial Soul Hall is recruiting tutors for their disciples

but in truth, it is trying to expand its Soul Master units.

We need to plan for this.

I think Martial Soul Hall isn't the only party we need to be cautious against.

Imperial Father, we have returned.

Imperial Father, someone called Hu Liena from Martial Soul Hall came to provoke us.

She totally disregarded Heaven Dou.

Imperial Father, you must never forgive this.

Crown Prince, explain.

It's like this. Today at Moon Pavilion,

Martial Soul Hall's Hu Liena was ordered by Bibi Dong

to find a disciple of the Clear Sky Clan.

According to my investigation, both of them entered the Netherworld City together

and obtained the Demon Domain.

A disciple of the Clear Sky Clan

obtained Demon Domain at the same time?

After Tang Hao, there's another Clear Sky Clan disciple who obtained the Demon Domain

That means the Clear Sky Clan is still improving its strength even if they are living in seclusion.

The Clear Sky Clan has lived in seclusion for many years but a disciple suddenly appears.

Are they trying to open the gates?

Great Master, your disciple Tang San,

where is he now?

Do you think this person is him?

Your Highness, I have not contacted him for a long time.

I don't know where he is now.

However, if it's really him, I'm proud as his master.

The Clear Sky Clan has many talents.

There are geniuses who are better than him as well.

So, I can't conclude about this.

You are right.

However, everyone knows about the grudge between the Clear Sky Clan and Martial Soul Hall.

I just hope nothing goes wrong.

Disciples of the Clear Sky Clan and Martial Soul Hall

obtained Demon Domain at the same time.

It is a form of restriction against Martial Soul Hall.

If Bibi Dong finds him, she probably wants to get rid of him.

If Heaven Dou can find this disciple from the Clear Sky Clan,

it would be great.

Imperial Father, after all this discussion, are you going to punish Martial Soul Hall?

Imperial Father, the end result isn't that bad.

Lady Yue handled the situation well.

Hu Liena did not get any advantage.

So, there's no need to worry.

That's good to hear.

Imperial Brother, what do you mean?

Do you only think it's bad if Lady Yue is hurt or if Moon Pavilion is ruined?

Keep your mouth shut.

Whether it's Heaven Dou or Star Luo,

both empires have a delicate relationship with Martial Soul Hall.

How can you cause trouble just because you have a moment of anger?

Why haven't you improved after staying in Moon Pavilion for so long?

I want you to get out.

- I... - Get out!

Fine. Calm down.

Isn’t it okay to just leave now?

You are suffering from an internal injury and need to rest.

My soul power is too low and I was taken advantage of when I fought her.

It's all right.

It's all my fault.

I didn't control my domain and caused you harm.

We are a family.

Your father handed you over to me.

If I can't protect you, what if he comes and asks me to give him an explanation?

I will listen to you in the future and cultivate my personality.

What happened today will not happen again.

There's no need to blame yourself.

You were much more obedient than my second brother when he was young.

I remember your grandfather and your uncle

spent so much effort to keep him in line.

Moreover, you knew to hide today.

That means you know how to weigh situations and know when to back down.

A man must be adaptable. This is a good thing.

There's no need to comfort me.

I'm not comforting you.

I appreciate you.

Xiao San, Netherworld City is a very dangerous place.

It is incredible that you can escape alive.

So, you must train yourself well so your suffering doesn't go to waste.

Killing intent is a sharp weapon.

You can only become its true master if you can fully control it.

I understand.

You understand, but it doesn't mean you can do it well.

From now on, I won't be lenient to you.

We must still show respect to the Heaven Dou imperial family.

Since you've searched Moon Pavilion, you shouldn't go there again.

News about Martial Soul Hall looking for him has spread.

He won't come out so easily.

If you keep investigating, your efforts will still go to waste.

Master, but...

Are you working so hard for Martial Soul Hall's sake or for your own sake?

I'm doing this with Martial Soul Hall's best interest in my heart.

In that case, do what I tell you.

Yes.

Na Na, I have high hopes for you.

Don't disappoint me.

I will do my best to share your burden.

Senior Dugu?

Do you have news of Little Freak?

He's been gone for so long and didn't even leave me a message.

It's outrageous.

Xiao San didn't contact me either.

Not even you know where he is?

Is he dead out there?

Senior, you are overthinking.

Xiao San is blessed.

I'm sure he will be fine.

Since you don't know where he is, forget it.

Senior, why are you looking for him?

You can tell me. I will let him know when he comes back.

I will say what I want to say to him in person.

Dugu Bo came to find Xiao San at this time.

Did he hear something?

Lady Yue, your medicine has cooled down.

Why are you so tired?

Did you not sleep well last night?

You took medicine and slept soundly last night so you don't know.

He has been playing the whole night.

He only rested for four hours and even disturbed your rest.

I will go and reprimand him.

Wait.

He might have an average talent, but his passion deserves to be praised.

We shouldn't discourage him and let him play instead.

Yes.

Lady Yue.

You are wise.

Lady Yue, someone is looking for you outside.

Someone called Yu Xiaogang is looking for you.

Yu Xiaogang?

Isn't that the Chief of Soul Masters His Majesty appointed himself?

Send him inside.

Yes.

I want to see Xiao San.

I don't know what you mean.

He is my direct disciple.

Chief of Soul Masters, if you're here to find someone, I think you've come to the wrong place.

Everyone knows Lady Yue from Moon Pavilion is called Yuehua.

However, no one knows that your surname is Tang and you come from the Clear Sky Clan.

You are Xiao San's aunt.

I'm sure you recognize this.

Martial Soul Hall's Elder Token?

Father gave this to my second brother back then.

It seems like I was overthinking. Great Master, please come with me.

This is...

This is embarrassing.

I must say that his current level can't represent the Moon Pavilion yet.

I understand. He is not talented.

- You must have had a difficult time. - Not at all.

It's what I should do for one of my own.

Then, I won't disturb your reunion with your disciple.

- Thank you. - Please.

[Tune of Kings]

Other people play music for fun, but you play music to kill.

Master?

Master!

Thankfully, I avoided it in time.

Otherwise, you would have committed a grave sin.

You've grown stronger and you look in good spirits.

I'm sure your skills have improved now.

However, your music is bad.

I've always been clueless about music.

I'd rather be tortured by the experts at Soul Arena than play music.

Master, how did you know I was here?
