(Moonlit Reunion)

(Episode 14)

The taste of Wushi Powder is inexplicable.

Most of the people yesterday were spouting nonsense.

Some said they encountered demons

while some said they were in a deity's realm.

There were all kinds of ridiculous explanations.

In my opinion, achieving deityhood

is not as fun as enjoying ourselves in the Liu District for three days.

I agree.

Chang'an is where the emperor lives. It has plenty of Yang energy.

- How could there be any spirits or demons? - Indeed.

Deputy Commander Huang, I'm not lying.

I did see someone using Wushi Powder yesterday.

So, you still went to Yunong House, huh?

I...

It's not what you think.

To behold the elegance of Chang'an, one has to visit the Liu District.

You only had eyes for Wushi Powder when temptations were everywhere.

Commissioner Mei's cousin is extraordinary indeed.

But it isn't that easy to find Wushi Powder lying around...

This is Wushi Powder.

Search the area!

Don't fall behind!

My lord, Cat Lord's plan was quite brilliant.

Now, everyone is saying

that the owner of Yunong House abused the use of Wushi Powder.

They said that he accidentally poured the powder into their water source.

That's why many people started hallucinating upon drinking the water.

Kitty's feint attack is quite effective.

Now, not only is the venue seized,

but the rumors related to demons are also dispelled through it.

It seems this turmoil has already passed.

Lady Liu, what a coincidence.

Fourth Master Si, what are you doing here?

I heard about the demonic hallucinations that occurred at the Liu District.

I came here to verify it.

But no one expected the source to be Wushi Powder.

Fourth Master Mei, why would you come all the way to verify it?

I am reading the Compendium of Demons written by White Serpent.

In the postscript,

it stated that White Serpent wrote the book for his beloved.

I thought that he was meticulous and interesting.

I wanted to learn from him.

Fourth Master Mei, how do you plan to learn from him?

You see, my hobby is drawing.

I wish to collect the tales of the supernatural

and turn them into an illustrated volume.

This way, it'll become a unique gift.

If I give it to Lady Liu, I'm sure she'll like it.

Let's go.

Lady Liu?

But my lord, White Serpent is interesting indeed.

Lady Liu wasn't glaring at me just now.

I'm sure she likes my idea.

Young man, they said my peaches weren't good this year.

You should buy them elsewhere.

You should buy them from him.

It doesn't matter.

Old mister, I would like to buy some.

Are these peaches delicious?

Young man, young lady, I'm sorry about this.

I'm old now.

My sense of taste has deteriorated.

Is it sour?

It is.

It doesn't matter.

I like them sour.

Why do you like them sour?

At my childhood home, there was a peach tree that bloomed early.

Its fruits were small and had a harsh taste.

They were much more sour than this.

But I looked forward to its bloom every year.

It's because no one else liked its fruit. They were all mine.

Young man, it's rare for someone to like my peaches.

Here you go. Have a few more.

- Okay. - Have a few more.

Listen, it's hard to grow a peach tree.

When overripe, it's bitter and harsh.

When unripe, it's sour.

Its period of excellence is far too brief.

Thank you, old mister.

I hear that the summer blossoms of the Western Hills will soon be in bloom.

Let's check it out in two days.

Sure.

Zhu Yu instructed me to leave the city and buy a horse, huh?

Seems like he has finally figured it out.

I wonder if he has found a way to deal with the Demon Market.

It's fine even if he hasn't.

He'll still be a good disciple of Changyi Palace

as long as he stays away from that vixen.

Master Shuang Jiang.

Lady Hu Zhu?

Master Shuang Jiang, what are you doing at Ruyi Pavilion?

I came here for a meal.

Sir, are you here to drink or spectate the performance?

I'm booking an entire table.

Lady Hu Zhu, you told me before.

You said this is enough money for me to hold a banquet at your place.

Wait, you...

Sir, over here, please.

Let's go.

Lady Hu Zhu, you weren't lying.

Eat up.

What's the matter?

Is the food here not delicious?

That's not it.

Actually, I have something else to do besides having a meal here.

I have to make a trip to South Street later.

This late? Why are you heading to South Street?

Brother Mei told me to buy a horse.

Buy a horse?

Has Mr. Mei made it big? Does he no longer need to ride a donkey?

We need it for the trip.

For the trip?

We can return to Quzhou faster if we have an excellent horse.

Are you returning to Quzhou?

That's right.

I came here to bid you farewell as well.

Fate has brought us together.

But we may not know when we'll meet again after we part ways today.

Lady Hu Zhu, take care.

- Master Shuang Jiang. - Lady Hu Zhu.

You and I are best friends.

I know you're reluctant to part with me. I feel the same.

But I have my own missions to accomplish.

I just wanted to tell you that no one sells horses at South Street.

You have to head to North Street to buy one.

Thank you, Lady Hu Zhu.

With that tiny piece of silver,

he can't even afford the liquor.

Indeed.

Lady Hu Zhu, since you're this wealthy,

why don't you settle the payment for the fragrances first?

Is this enough?

I suppose it is.

But obviously, you were more generous toward Shuang Jiang.

You're so nosy.

Mr. Mei's cousin had to perform on the street just to get by.

You're a 100-year-old demon. Don't compare yourself to him.

Shopkeeper, we've distributed all the fragrances.

Shopkeeper, that's top-quality Suhe Fragrance.

Since when did we lower the price?

You're so nosy.

But it's not enough.

It seems that you've resolved the "huge deal" in a short period.

What's the matter, Master Shuang Jiang? Does your life belong to me now?

So, Brother Mei bought a horse just for the carriage?

That's right.

Lady Wu Zhen's carriage attracts too much attention.

Therefore, Mr. Mei brought a carriage here personally.

Isn't he thoughtful?

What is Brother Mei thinking? I thought he wanted to leave.

Why did he come here to admire the flowers?

According to the storybooks,

men will pick flowers and present them to their spouses.

Those storybooks are nothing special.

Some women do present their husbands with flowers as well.

I was too narrow-minded.

It'd be the same as last time if you brought your donkey here.

Last time?

You mean the trip to the western suburbs?

Actually, I once dreamed about you.

What did I do in your dream?

You behaved indecently.

I was wondering why you acted strangely ever since that incident.

It's fine as long as we return to reality.

That vixen.

What did you say?

Lady Wu Zhen is truly a vixen.

Master Shuang Jiang, you can insult her if you like.

But can you please insult her using another term next time?

Stop calling her a vixen!

Is there a term more accurate than "vixen," then?

- What are you doing? - I'm angry at the sight of you!

Scram!

It's a shame that the blooming period will end soon.

If only there were a way

for the flowers to bloom all year long.

The seasons change with time.

Different flowers have different blooming periods.

Even if we can cast spells to alter them,

we shouldn't go against the law of nature.

What are you smiling at?

I was reminded of a cat at Duke Wu's Residence.

Which one?

A striped cat.

Aren't you afraid of it?

It's very friendly. It has an affinity with me.

I don't think it was just kind.

It just cherishes good-looking individuals.

I'm sure it likes you because of your good looks.

Just like me.

(Did you forget? Disciples of Changyi Palace cannot fall in love!)

This is inappropriate.

Mr. Mei, sometimes, you don't need to stick to the rules.

I think I've almost fully recovered.

It's time for me to leave Duke Wu's Residence.

Are you leaving?

That's right.

What about me?

What did you say?

Don't you have anything else to tell me?

You may leave if you like.

I can't just force you to stay.

Mr. Mei, you're noble and untainted. You wish to keep a distance from me.

If so, I should know what's good for me.

Let's go.

Brother Mei, the carriage they took was yours, right?

It's getting late. We should hurry back to the city.

We don't have a carriage or a horse.

But we have legs.

Carry our belongings.

(Mei Residence)

Fourth Master Si?

Why haven't you delivered his meal yet?

Master, for some reason,

Fourth Master Si locked his door.

He locked his door?

I knew it. You're a disgrace.

- Master! - Get out of my way!

Get up!

Get up!

If you were up to something good,

why did you...

Thank you.

Why did you lock the door?

Father.

I was influenced by you all these years.

That's why I've decided to turn over a new leaf

and devote all my time to my studies.

But I was worried that you might worry about my health.

Who are you trying to deceive with your fancy words?

I can forgive you for being obsessed with drawing in the past.

But now?

You picked up cockfighting, dog handling, and playing with mud loaches!

Father, it's not a mud loach.

You're telling me that it isn't a mud loach?

It can't be the reincarnation of Wen Chang, the God of Literature, can it?

Indeed.

It's the reincarnation of Wen Chang.

Father.

I've gone to great lengths to procure it.

With it, I'll surely pass the imperial exam this year.

It can even write. Take a look if you don't believe me.

Since it's the reincarnation of Wen Chang, of course it can write.

It can surely write.

It can write.

It...

It's...

It's the reincarnation of Wen Chang indeed!

Look!

It's the character, "Wen."

Father, how could you tell?

Look.

Deities above,

I would gladly present gold along with the full sacrificial offerings

to build your divine statue.

- Please bless my son! - Father.

Return the mud loach to me.

- Make sure he passes the exam! - Father.

Please make sure my son passes the imperial exam!

If you truly had feelings for him, you didn't need to rush things.

You could've made him stay for a few more days.

You should at least enjoy it while it lasts.

Our relationship is ambiguous.

That's no fun at all.

He never thought of taking it up a notch.

That means

I'm not that important to him.

This is a rare sight.

Lady Wu Zhen is actually fretting about her relationship for once.

You should at least let me wallow in sorrow for a few days.

Deal.

I'll arrange for some courtesans and entertainers to perform for you.

You'll surely enjoy it.

By then, you'll forget about that heartless man.

Okay?

We should spend the night here.

Let's have a meal first.

Please enjoy your meal.

Guys, over here, please.

Are you two stopping for a meal or looking to stay the night?

Two rooms and two bowls of Yangchun noodles.

We also want chicken with scallions in vinegar, stir-fried okra with pork,

winter amaranth greens, celery in vinegar dressing,

mutton with broth,

and Hu-style flatbread.

Can you finish all of them?

You don't need to know. I can afford them.

Please prepare them.

Brother Mei, don't you think there's something wrong with him?

He's wearing such thick clothing during the summer.

I'm sweating just from looking at him.

Do not gossip about other people.

This is your room card.

Please keep it.

Since you ordered that much food, you have to exercise.

Place our belongings in the room.

Okay.

Guys, are you stopping for a meal or looking to stay the night?

Can't you tell?

Just look at us!

This is a robbery!

A robbery!

Mister, you're generous, aren't you?

Don't come near me.

Who said you could tell me what to do?

Do you think you're a deity?

How dare you still laugh?

- Pay up. - Pay up!

No.

What's wrong? Do you refuse to pay up?

I do not have any money with me.

Look at what you're wearing.

You're saying that you didn't bring any money with you on a trip, huh?

That's impossible.

I did bring some money with me, but it's in the room.

Why don't I take you to my room?

No need for that.

Do you think this is my first day being a robber?

I've seen plenty of fair-skinned smart alecs like you.

Do you think you can deceive me?

Er!

Have you found his luggage sack?

San, Si, head to the 2nd floor.

Yes, Boss!

Where are you two? Reply to me!

As the saying goes, the pit of greed can never be filled.

It seems our predecessors were speaking the truth.

Is your room a man-eating entity?

Why aren't there any movements from my underlings?

Why don't you check it out yourself?

I...

If not, you'll fall behind, you know?

Where's the last guy?

He's still here. He's the smartest among them all.

Waiter.

Report this to the authorities.

Hurry!

Move!

- Move! - How dare you stare at me?

Mister.

(Pei Ji Ya)

I'm Pei Ji Ya from Kunzhou.

Thank you for the assistance.

May I know your names?

I'm Mei Zhu Yu.

This is my little brother, Shuang Jiang.

Please don't stand on ceremony.

I did it to save myself as well.

One's kindness should be repaid somehow.

Have you two had dinner yet?

Why don't I treat you two to a meal as thanks?

Brother Mei, why don't we...

Thank you.

Please.

Mr. Shuang Jiang, you may ask me any questions if you still have any.

What's with the thick clothing?

I...

I'm ill.

I was born with an ailment.

I had a weak constitution since young. I couldn't even withstand sunlight.

I have to put on extra layers even during the height of summer.

Poor guy.

Mr. Shuang Jiang, what's your next question?

That's all.

Mei, I was honored to witness your valiant actions.

You were both brave and witty.

Words cannot express my gratitude to you.

I cannot take alcohol.

Brother Mei doesn't like to drink.

Mr. Mei, I'll drink with you.

I'll offer you a toast with tea instead.

Mr. Mei, you seem weary from the road.

Did you just return from Chang'an?

Indeed. I just left Chang'an for a trip.

I'm so envious.

I grew up in Chang'an.

I had to leave the place due to family affairs.

Now, I'm living in Kunzhou.

It's been many years since I've returned there.

I heard that Chang'an is much more peaceful now.

Every realm has its own rules now.

Mr. Mei, what do you mean by "realm?"

I mean, every realm of the officialdom.

Mr. Mei, please pardon me.

My hobby is to cultivate fragrances.

I'm quite sensitive to smell.

Speaking of which, the scent you're giving out

is quite interesting to say the least.

It's interesting.

What do you smell?

I smell newly cured leather.

Did you get a new saddle?

How did you know?

I also smell a faint scent of medicinal herbs

like mugwort and cinnamon twigs.

Were you injured not long ago?

You could tell from that?

There's also

a hint of womanly presence.

This...

That's a joke.

Mr. Mei, you're handsome and talented.

I assume you've won the hearts of many ladies.

That's why I was teasing you.

Speaking of ladies,

I'm reminded of my childhood sweetheart.

When I was young, I had a weak constitution.

Outsiders would avoid me if they could.

She was the only one who treated me differently.

We were kindred spirits who had feelings for each other.

Sadly, things rarely turn out the way one hopes.

My family migrated to Kunzhou.

We were forced to part with each other.

I've suffered a lot

due to this old ailment of mine.

But I could endure it

no matter how tough it was.

I remember that the only time I cried

was because of her.

In the past, my health wasn't the best.

Even if I fancied her, I didn't dare to propose to her.

Now,

my health is gradually improving.

That's why I'm rushing to Chang'an immediately.

This time, I won't let her down.

Pei, you're heading all the way to Chang'an just to find your beloved.

Your devotion to her

is truly touching.

Mr. Mei, what about you? Do you have someone you fancy?

I do.

Can you tell us your story?

In life, it's natural for one to be foolish about love.

It's just that she and I aren't meant for each other.

I see.

Mr. Mei, it seems you have a transcendent view.

But I'm just a commoner.

I merely wish to marry her and grow old together with her.

Mr. Mei, aren't you going to give me your blessing?

Far in body, yet ever close in spirit.

If you two are sincere toward each other,

a happy ending can surely be achieved.

Thank you, Mr. Mei.

This is the fullest meal I've had in recent days.

Mr. Pei is quite nice, huh?

Brother Mei, what do you think?

He's strange.

Strange?

What's so strange?

I feel that he's being too familiar with us

despite our shallow acquaintance.

Although Mr. Pei looks weak and sickly,

he's quite passionate.

I think he's just talkative.

Perhaps so.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

I think I ate too much just now.

I'll be fine after some rest.

Show me your hand.

How is it? It's nothing serious, isn't it?

Judging from your pulse, it's a stomachache.

Okay.

(But why do I feel like there's a hint of poison in there?)

Come, let's seek out a physician.

What's the matter?

Sir, please take care.

Young Master, it's locked.

That Mei fellow is quite cautious, isn't he?

Have you dealt with the authorities?

We've bribed them.

The robbers will be released in a few days.

This plan is perfect. Young Master, there's no need to worry.

Young Master, I only found the luggage sack of the big guy in the room.

Should we inspect it?

No need for that. I'm uninterested in him.

Young Master, I don't understand.

Your goal was to poison Mei Zhu Yu.

Why was Shuang Jiang the only one who was poisoned?

I laced the fragrance with poison.

The poison requires alcohol and food to take effect.

But Mei Zhu Yu didn't drink or eat just now. Therefore, it didn't work.

I see.

That Mei fellow was obstructing your progress again.

In my opinion, we should've made the dose lethal and taken his life.

According to my informant in Chang'an, he's no longer related to my cousin.

He's just a loser. Why should I take his life?

Besides, I'm a kind person.

Young Master, you're right.

Forget it. At least I've seen him for myself.

I've found out about my cousin's preference for men.

Let's go.

Time to head to Chang'an.
