EPISODE 16

LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS
ARE BOUND TO HAVE MANY UNCERTAINTIES

Not a problem.

Now it's yours.

Wow.

I'm touching a fish.

You're so lazy.

You only like touching fish
when someone brings it to you.

This lake is known as Cloudsky Lake.

And this is a Soul Flying Fish.

It feeds on droplets condensed
from the purest spiritual energy.

That's precious. Then I daren't touch it.

Let's release it.

But I heard
the icy-blue fish are good for beauty.

Then I must touch it.

After you're done touching it,
we can roast it and eat it.

Catching fish in someone else's lake
isn't good, is it?

But with you backing me up, it's fine.

Isn't just one fish a bit too few?

It's rare for me to cook.

I can't make just a humble spread.

Why is it only you
who can catch those fish?

This is true "touching fish".

Doing nothing at all?

I won't lift even a finger now.

Whoever can catch me lots of fish
is the best man ever in the world!

I'd love him! I'd admire him so much!

A man who can catch them
is utterly handsome!

He makes me feel so safe.

Whoever can catch these fish
must be exceptionally remarkable!

Enough chatter.

Good job. Come. Let me wipe your sweat.

Such a trifle doesn't make me sweat.

Come on.

Crouch lower.

Don't roast all the fish.

Make me a soup, too.

You want to eat them?

I caught them myself. Can't I eat them?

Of course you can.

What could make
Grandmaster, who rarely eats,

suddenly demand food?

Is it the beauty fish,
or me, the slacking fish?

Too much noise.

This is divine cuisine.

No, it's a celestial delicacy.

How can fish taste so good?

Crispy outside, tender inside.

Fresh and fragrant.

How's the soup?

Taste it yourself.

It's so delicious,
my tongue feels refreshed.

Nice.

This should be taken
to "Bite of Celestial Palace".

To think Grandmaster, who rarely eats,
finds it tasty.

It's because
the ingredients here are really good.

Such flavor with so little effort.

I'm heading out tomorrow.

In your words,

I'm going to "pursue my career".

This trip will take a few days.

If there's anything you want,
tell me anytime.

Don't worry.
I have the Transvision Mirror you gave me.

Pursue your career without worry.

Sima Jiao hides in the shadows,
while we're out in the open.

Finding him won't be easy.

Sect Master Shi,
the fish in your treasured Cloudsky Lake

have been stolen by the dozens.

What?

Who did this?

This was left by
the thief at the lakeside.

My…

There are traces
of Tingyan's extreme-cold nature.

It seems her cultivation
has advanced further than before.

My fish! My…

Gengchen Celestial Palace
has grown more chaotic.

Sect Master Shi, you hardly ever catch
those Soul Flying Fish,

much less share them with us.

And now look.

They've been stolen
by some nameless thief.

This is outrageous.

Who was it?

Sima Jiao?

Instead of focusing on his recovery,

you think he stole
your fish right under your nose?

The Eight Palaces
are all searching for him.

If it were him,
wouldn't that be far too arrogant?

Exactly.

Soul Flying Fish
don't do much to aid recovery.

If Sima Jiao were in his right mind,

he'd never take the risk
of coming here to steal the fish.

But knowing his nature,

it's hard to say.

If Sima Jiao went to Cloudsky Lake
for Tingyan's sake,

then it makes sense.

Someone.

Young Madam.

Why hasn't anyone been sent in today?

Young Madam,

since the Grandmaster's incident,
all sects have tightened their defenses.

It's hard to find
suitable female disciples.

You know the art I'm practicing
consumes my primordial spirit.

Why weren't you prepared earlier?

Please calm down, Young Madam.

Didn't you just enter Coreform recently?

It should be nourishing now.

Spare me, Young Madam.

Please spare me, Young Madam.

Chuhui!

Mother.

Chuhui,
where did you learn such evil arts?

Mother,

I went to great lengths
to obtain this secret art.

Otherwise,
without the Grandmaster's reward,

how else could I have advanced
into Soulshift so quickly?

Young Madam,
you should know shortcuts will harm you.

That's why I need
disciples to replenish myself.

Don't worry, Mother.

The ones I choose are nobodies.

No one will notice even if they die.

So how come I know about it now?

I've heard the rumors

that you're absorbing
female disciples' cultivation.

It won't be long before
the other palace heads come after you.

I can't believe you,
the daughter of a Palace Madam,

would actually practice such demonic arts.

How am I to face the others?

But Mother, you're the Palace Madam.

Even if they find out,
why bother with them?

I can't stop halfway.

Madam, why not send Young Madam
to the Luo River Immortal District?

She can ease her mind there.

Also, the place is remote,
and it houses foreign sects.

Even if something happens,
they won't dare make a scene here.

Luo River Immortal District?

That's far away.

You're right.

It's decided.

If calamity ever happens
in the Inner Court,

you can avoid it.

Mother, what calamity could there be?

I don't want to go so far.

It's decided.

You'll set out soon.

Mother.

I've been feeling irritable
for no reason lately.

My chest feels tight.

Why not go out shopping to relax?

Let's stroll the market.
We have enough gems.

- We're not going back empty-handed today.
- Yes, miss.

Miss, Cloud Robe Embroidery House says
your orders from a few days ago are ready.

Shall we visit there first?

So soon? Very well. Let's go there first.

Miss, you truly care about your brother.

You even had
an artifact custom-made for him.

I've always accepted his gifts
without giving anything in return.

It doesn't feel right. Let's go.

CLOUD ROBE EMBROIDERY HOUSE

Miss Yong, it's been days.
Please come inside.

Here. Have a seat.

Please have some tea.

Miss Yong,

as you instructed, we have engraved
the patterns on the artifact.

Well done.

As expected of the famed
shop in the Luo River Immortal District.

Miss, besides jewelry and ornaments,
we also have fine fabrics.

A new batch just arrived.

Since you're here, shall I show you some?

One moment, please.

Miss Yong, have
a look at this silk brocade.

The design is no ordinary flower.

It's called Moonshade Bloom.
Special indeed.

Surely you've heard
of the renowned Sima Clan

of Gengchen Celestial Palace.

Moonshade Bloom is their companion flower.

Rarely seen by anyone.

Only we have this pattern.

The flower doesn't seem right,
but the fabric itself is lovely.

Have you seen
Moonshade Bloom before, Miss Yong?

That's a rare flower.
How could someone like me ever see it?

I was saying the design looks new.

This brocade is scarce.

We only receive a dozen bolts each year.

It's always in high demand.

Since you've introduced it so earnestly,

- I'll take them all.
- Sure. Please wait a moment.

Silk brocade…

I'm truly sorry, Miss Yong.

The Moonshade Bloom Silk Brocade

has already been reserved
by another client.

I failed to check and didn't know.

To make amends,

you may freely choose twenty bolts
of new fabric as compensation.

What do you say?

I think someone's deliberately snatching
that from my young lady.

You slight us because you look down on us.

Exactly.

Do you know our young lady is
from the Yong family of the Night Palace,

and the granddaughter
of Patriarch Muxiu of the Mu Clan?

She's in a bad mood today.

Woe to you.

Am I right, miss?

Was I in a bad mood?

We were in the right at first.

But you've gone too far
and made me look like an unruly woman.

It's my fault.

A mere Night Palace.

- See, you talked too much.
- Young Madam, please come inside.

Even if the palace
head of the Night Palace

and Patriarch Muxiu himself were here,

they would kneel and kowtow before me.

Yes, I'm the daughter
of the Mistress of the Moon Palace.

There's an order to observe.

Why should we give way to others?

It's always been others going my way.

I've set my eyes
on this Moonshade Bloom brocade.

Don't ever think of taking it.

They outnumber us.

It's better to leave first.

Since you like it so much, it's yours.
Let's go.

Did I allow you to leave?

There's an aura
about you that feels familiar,

and I loathe it.

You act all meek
and submissive on the surface,

but deep down, you look down on everyone.

We… We've never met before.

- You must've mistaken me for someone else.
- Did I tell you to speak?

How dare you fight back?
Teach her a harsh lesson.

Don't go too far.

Be careful not to kill her.

She's in Soulshift.

MOUNT ZILIU SIDE PALACE

Not only your aura,
but even your face, I simply hate it.

And you're a Soulshift.

Since you're so weak,
surrender all your cultivation to me.

We have no grudges against each other.

Don't push me.

If I'm hurt, you'll be in danger as well.

Ridiculous! I'm fully armed
with heaven-class defensive artifacts.

A mere Soulshift like you
can't even touch me.

What evil act is that? It hurts me.

Evil art?
I didn't mean to destroy your artifact.

You didn't mean it? How brazen…

How brazen of you!

Lord Han, Lord of Wind.
Put her in her place.

Smash her bones, but don't kill her.

Once I'm satisfied,
I'll claim her life myself.

Madam Ye.

Are you bringing medicine to Madam Yue?

Madam Ye, the Young Madam
suffered frostbite yesterday.

It looks superficial at first, as if
the ointment would heal it immediately.

But for some reason,
ordinary frostbite remedies didn't work.

So we asked Sect Master Shi
for some rare and unusual remedies.

An unusual frostbite?

Did Young Madam fight with someone?

Yes. That girl is still being held
by the Young Madam in the side palace.

- May I see her?
- Yes, Madam Ye.

Who is she?

She claims to be
the young lady of the Night Palace.

Her body carries the spiritual power
of the extreme-cold nature.

If Sima Jiao
could turn Tingyan into an otter,

then turning her into someone else
is not impossible.

Was she alone when you captured her?

Yes.

Only a few useless guards
and maids at her side, no one else.

These are wounds from advanced spells.

They can't be healed by common spells.

Besides the external injuries,
her internal wounds are just as serious.

This is too cruel.

I need to bring
Tingyan back for treatment.

But with Tingyan here,

it's the best chance
to hunt down Sima Jiao.

Let's leave.

- Are you sure that woman is Liao Tingyan?
- Yes.

If you set an ambush in advance,
Sima Jiao is sure to be drawn here.

Send word to all palaces.
We set out at once.

We came as soon as we received the news.

Any news about Sima Jiao?

Fellow palace heads, Sima Jiao is injured,

and his strength is greatly reduced.

Today, we must seize him without fail.

You're using my daughter as bait.

How can you guarantee her safety?

Madam Yue,

given Sima Jiao's current condition,

even if I can't defeat him,

I can at least fight him to a draw.

That will be enough for
us to complete the sealing

and save your daughter.

Madam Yue, no risk, no glory.

Once this is done,
you'll be the leader of the Eight Palaces.

Then what are we waiting for?

I… I mean, if we delay any longer,
my daughter will be in danger.

Move out!

TRUE VIRTUE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Tingyan.

Liao Tingyan is in danger.

The Eight Palaces are heading
towards the suburbs of Mount Ziliu.

Grandmaster, let me go with you.

You haven't recovered yet.

I can at least support you.

This is likely a trap by Shi Qianlv.
Think twice.

Tingyan is my good friend.

You are my master.

If you go to save her,
I will follow without hesitation.

Why are you standing there?

The clothes are ready, Young Madam.
Please try them on.

What's the point of trying them?

But the clothes…

Your strength…

My cultivation has slowed down
without those disciples.

Where is the Soulshift girl
I brought back a few days ago?

She's still locked up.

Have Lord Han bring her to me.

Tingyan. Tingyan.

Does it hurt, Tingyan?

It's fine.

You're lying.

I'm unwell.

It hurts me terribly.
You finally came to save me.

If their cultivation were lower than mine,
I would've risked fighting them.

But several of them are in Soulshift,
fighting them would be suicide.

I didn't feel much before.

But once I saw you, the pain came.

Talk to me.

If you talk, I won't feel the pain.

Ouch! It hurts.

All right. I don't hurt anymore.

Where are we going?

You're not planning
to kill someone, are you?

Of course I am.

Yue Chuhui is
the Young Madam of the Moon Palace.

You'll expose yourself.

Up ahead is Mount Ziliu Manor.
My daughter is there.

What's such a big deal
about this Yong Lingchun?

Why make such a scene?

How dare you! Who allowed you in?

Lord Han, Lord of Wind.

I don't care who you are,
my guards will be here soon.

When they do, none of you is getting away.

Grand… Grandmaster.

Liao Tingyan?

Grandmaster.

Don't come closer, Grandmaster.

My mother will rescue me soon!

There they are.

Chuhui.

Mother, save me!

Release my daughter, Sima Jiao!

Grandmaster,
they're setting up the sealing array.

We're surrounded.

I know.

Be patient, Madam Yue.

Don't forget
our priority is sealing Sima Jiao.

You do it.

Strip her face,

and kill her.

No.

She bullied you and hurt you.

You have to avenge yourself.

She scarred your face,
then you strip hers.

She had others beat you,
then you crush every single bone of her.

She made you suffer,

then you make her die in agony.

I was wrong, Grandmaster.

- Please spare me.
- Kill her.

Sima Jiao,
the Eight Palace Heads are all here.

If you release my daughter,
everything can be negotiated.

But if anything happens to her,
I'll take your life!

Noisy.

Uh…

Jiao, my stomach hurts.

It isn't serious.

Let's go back first.

- Yes?
- No.

My inner injuries are serious.

If you don't heal me, I'll die.

I'm so afraid of pain.

Please, Grandmaster.

Are you sure you don't want to do it?

I'm not pretending.

Let's go back first. All right?

Fine.

If you won't kill her,

I won't force you.

It looks like
the Eight Palaces are hunting us down,

and you're still wounded.

Let's negotiate with them
with Yue Chuhui and retreat first.

I'll do anything you ask.

But this person must pay the price.

No, Grandmaster.

Please don't. No.

Chuhui!

Hold yourself together, Madam Yue.

Didn't you say
you could save her, did you?

I should've rushed in long ago,
not wasted time here with you.

What use is it if you rush in alone?

Do you stand a chance?

Your daughter only lost her cultivation.

At least her life is spared.

Don't lose focus, Madam Yue.

Hold yourself together.

I must kill you two
to atone for my daughter.

You think your array can hold me long?

Sima Jiao, if you could break it,
you'd have done so already.

After the battle at Baifeng Mountain,

you were gravely injured
and haven't recovered yet.

Am I right?

Whether or not I have recovered,

you can come here and try me.

Stop it, Ruling.

Ruling, if you persist,

how can we still be friends?

From the moment I swore to kill Sima Jiao,
I knew this day would come.

Are all the days
we shared going to end here?

Yes.

Liao Tingyan, Hei Nianjiu,

the next time we meet,

I won't hold back.

Sima Jiao.

I knew you hadn't healed yet.

The Spirit Fire is truly robust.

Even gravely injured,
you can still fight me this long.

The array is nearly complete.

Sima Jiao, your number is up.

Sima Jiao.

Sima Jiao.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

How could this be?

Could someone within
the Eight Palaces have helped him?

Chuhui.

Chuhui!

Madam Ye.

I saw you speaking
with those flying kites just now.

What were you talking about?

They tried to convince me
to go easy on Sima Jiao, but I refused.

Are you suspecting me, Sect Master Shi?

You and Liao Tingyan are close friends.

And you're also tight
with that black serpent.

You can't blame me
for being suspicious, Madam Ye.

You're overthinking it, Sect Master Shi.

Come, sit down.

How do you feel now?

I'm fine. It's just a small wound.

Your injuries haven't healed yet.

How did you break the seal?

Back in the array,

you told me you needed help
from one of the Eight Palaces,

so you sent me to persuade Ruling, right?

Ye Ruling was just a pretense.

The one who helped was Yuan Che.

What if he betrayed you,
or couldn't help at all?

Wouldn't that even
have been more dangerous?

When it comes to saving you,
there's no such thing as "what if".

You knew it was a deadly trap,

and you couldn't defeat them,
but you still risked it for me.

Who says I couldn't defeat them?

Yes, you could.

I didn't expect
you'd learn how to work with others.

It's his honor across
three lifetimes to aid me.

There's no such thing as collaboration.

You should learn
to ask others for help more often.

Since you already had
Yuan Che as your backup,

why send me to persuade Ruling

and release
those flying kites for all to see?

To not arouse Shi Qianlv's suspicion,

I needed someone
convincing to mislead him.

So Ruling was just Yuan Che's decoy?

But she's my friend.

I forgot.
She and I aren't friends anymore.

Losing a false friend
is nothing worth brooding over.

You don't make friends,
so you wouldn't understand.

You're taking it out on me.

I'm sorry.

I've just been
so irritable lately for no reason.

It gets worse when I think of Ruling.

I feel so stifled,
as if something's pressing on my chest.

You've been feeling like this lately?

I don't know why.
This frustration just came out of nowhere.

Let's heal your wounds first

before dealing with your troubles.

Stop it, Ruling.

Ruling, if you persist,

how can we still be friends?

Are you alone too?

Are you also a slacker, just like me?

- You never looked down on me?
- I admire you so much.

- We're good friends from now on.
- Yes.

Are all the days we shared
going to end here?

Yes.

Your eyes are sparkling.

So beautiful.

I was a serpent before.

You gave me the chance to become human.

You gave me life.

If you want to take it back,

go ahead.

Master, this is my gift as your disciple.

If I call for you with this…

If you need me,
I'll appear by your side anytime.

Hurry.

Get moving.

Why are you lying down? Get up.

Hey, move faster.

Now, the Sima Clan
has only Sima Jiao left.

Once he's dead,
we can return to our homeland.

Tingyan, Nanjiu, forgive me.

I've failed you.

I don't live for myself alone.

I must bring my people home.

I'm sorry for letting you down.
