[A Forbidden Marriage]

[Episode 10]

Mr. Yang,

I thought you didn't like Yue.

Why are you here for her again?

I thought you knew how I feel for her.

I can't read your mind.

Besides,

Yue is no longer the same girl she was.

If you can't choose her firmly,

you'd better be honest with her now.

She's got more important things to do.

Forget it.

I'm an outsider. It's not my place

to comment on your relationship.

Also, about what happened today,

I need to give you a reminder.

Ordinary poisons aren't contagious.

If it's contagious through festering wounds,

it must be strong poison.

Those children have no enemies.

They've never offended anyone,

yet they've suffered this.

This isn't some simple matter.

If Yue isn't doing this for you,

I wouldn't have let her get involved in this mess.

Thank you for the reminder.

I hate indecisive men like him.

I really don't get what you see in him.

Tell me, what do you like about him?

Besides his looks.

But good-looking men

are everywhere, right?

Listen,

Yang Qing is different from Shengyue Sect's men.

He's very gentle,

very thoughtful,

and very tolerant.

And he understands people who are different from him.

Seriously, Yue?

You asked why I like him.

Because he has something I don't.

To me, he's like a beam of light,

so dazzling and beautiful.

Of course I want to chase after him.

I will make him mine, and mine alone.

I'm not sharing him with anyone.

Okay, I'll help you

make him yours and yours alone.

Lingyin, you're the best.

Do you have an idea?

Watch this.

This is called the Compliance Pill.

Make Yang Qing take this,

and I promise he'll do whatever you say.

Should I really use this?

I knew it. You can't bear to do it.

No wonder he's still not yours.

Who said I can't bear to?

I'm going to make him take it now.

Wait a minute!

Why do you have Tipsy Lotus Cakes?

Who bought them for you?

Someone treats you that well?

Well...

Yang Qing said he bought them for me on the way.

On the way?

Yang Qing really does care about you.

Don't you know?

These

are the most famous Tipsy Lotus Cakes from Jade Restaurant.

People line up for it

from morning till night.

And

this restaurant isn't in Yangliu Town.

It's only available in nearby Yun City.

I used to love it.

But whenever I asked someone to buy it for me,

they either brought back something stale,

or nothing at all.

So eventually, I just gave up.

Besides,

Yun City is about

3.3 miles from Yangliu Town.

If he went all that way just to get this for you,

he definitely put in some effort.

It's weird though.

Yang Qing clearly cares about you.

So why is he being so indirect?

Why won't he just say it?

I don't get it.

Could it be...

he's grateful because I

helped him?

But Mingyang and I didn't get anything.

Could it be...

he likes me?

But yesterday, he sent me away

and even defended Yao Fu.

Alright, enough.

Just make Yang Qing take the Compliance Pill soon.

Chief is waiting for us to bring back the Sun Blade to save him.

Let me think about it further.

See?

I knew you couldn't bear to do it.

If you're not going to use it,

give it back to me now.

It takes three years

just to make one Compliance Pill.

Give it to me.

What's the rush?

I still need it.

You...

Try it. Come on.

Have some more.

You say one thing but mean another.

[Tianlin Garden]

Mr. Yang.

How's the investigation going?

Mr. Yang,

after they were released,

we searched the carriage and luggage,

but found nothing suspicious.

On the way back,

the children ate and drank the same things

as we did.

But we weren't poisoned.

They came prepared.

They won't let us find out the truth that easily.

Don't let your guard down.

Leave more people in town to protect them.

Okay, Mr. Yang.

Everything's been arranged. Don't worry.

Once the children fully recover,

we can try to get them talking.

See if we can find any clues

about who's behind all this.

Right now, we've hit a dead end.

Though I suspect Biluo Valley,

without concrete evidence,

we can't openly accuse them.

Stay vigilant.

Keep a close eye on anyone from Biluo Valley.

Mr. Yang,

when will we return to Yunmen?

Everyone's been working hard these past few days.

We'll rest one more day

and return to Yunmen tomorrow.

Prepare extra rations—

enough for two people.

Mr. Yang,

are those two portions

for Miss Lin and Miss Yang?

They’ve helped us a great deal.

We should invite them back to Yunmen to thank them properly.

Now that sounds right, Mr. Yang.

I'll get everything ready right away.

They're heading back to Yunmen today.

If you don't do it now,

it's hard to say if you'll ever

see Yang Qing again.

I know.

Today is the Flower King Festival. It'll be crowded.

Do it today.

They say the Flower Goddess worshipped here

descended on this very day.

Legend has it the Flower King

loves to dwell upon blooming peach trees with pink blossoms,

blessing the land with vibrant flowers

and peace.

So at dusk, when the blossoms are at their brightest,

people would follow the old tradition:

they toss embroidered balls into the high branches of the tree,

hoping to earn the blessing of the flower fairies.

And young girls throw their embroidered balls to the ones they love.

If the man accepts it,

it means their hearts are united.

And the Flower King will bless them.

Do you believe that?

I don't believe it at all.

Whether you believe it or not,

it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'm not the one who wants

to get her sweetheart's attention,

be alone with him,

and drug him.

Don't make fun of me.

Do you know what it means when a girl throws

an embroidered ball to a man?

I don't know.

I accidentally let it slip out of my hand.

Give it back to me.

Really?

You were holding it tightly.

That didn't look like an accident.

It's just an embroidered ball.

I can throw more

to whomever I want.

-It seems my Compliance Pill'll be wasted. -Mr. Yang!

Mr. Yang, where are you going?

Wangyue.

Let go of me.

I have something to tell you.

Calling me Wangyue now?

It's too late.

I don't want to hear it.

Then I'll call you Wangyue from now on.

Is that okay?

No. Let me go.

I can let you go,

but don't go. Hear me out.

Yang Qing,

what are you doing?

What do you take me for?

Didn't you say you couldn't respond to my feelings?

Why go out of your way to buy me lotus cakes?

Why catch my embroidered ball?

Are you deliberately toying with me?

Yes, I like you.

But that doesn't mean

you can make a fool of me!

I've never toyed with your feelings.

But...

But? There's always a but.

Why do you have so many

things you can't say?

Do I have to overthink everything like you

to be worthy of being with you?

Miss.

Since you're a couple, don't let the sun go down on your anger.

It's better

to say everything clearly.

Who's his wife?

And who are you?

Me?

I'm the best fortune teller.

I can't believe you don't know me.

Miss,

you two have been arguing for quite a while.

Would you like a reading?

Ten coins a reading, fair for all, no tricks.

Get out of my way.

Young lady.

Don't be so hot-tempered.

By all accounts,

you shouldn't still exist in this world.

It was a coincidence that you were granted a second life.

Shouldn't you have a more peaceful mindset?

What nonsense are you talking about?

So,

would you like a reading?

I want one.

Sir, please.

Sir, you're extraordinary.

What would you like to know?

My love life.

Okay.

Please write on this paper

any character that comes to your mind.

[Moon]

Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again.

The moon waxes and wanes.

Your path in love will be the same.

I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing.

Even I could say that.

He's nothing but a fraud.

If I'm not mistaken,

you once had feelings for someone.

But unfortunately, despite your deep love,

it ended before she ever knew.

Yes.

Yang Qing actually had someone he liked?

And it was a secret crush.

I have a suggestion.

Would you like to hear it?

Please go ahead.

True love is hard to find.

Don't let go when you can have it.

Thank you, sir.

Yang Qing actually had someone he loved.

So in his eyes, I was nothing

but a clown.

If I had known, I should have done anything I could

to make him mine from the beginning.

How humiliating.

Fortunately, I have the Compliance Pill.

I can just make him

forget the past and become mine.

What are you thinking about?

Who was the person you loved?

Do you really want to know?

Cut the crap. Just tell me.

The saintess of Shengyue Sect,

Wang Yue.

What... What did you just say?

There are many rumors in the martial world

about me and Shengyue Sect's saintess.

I'm sure you've heard some.

♪ Time flows like sand in an hourglass, counting down to forever ♪

Most are false.

But a few are true.

♪ Only at the moment we met did I learn what pain and sorrow truly are ♪

She was different from any other girl

I had ever met.

So,

I became curious about her.

♪ The cold wind softens little by little ♪

Curiosity is often the beginning of love.

♪ Though carefree, I can't resist the gaze written in my fate ♪

But I only

realized that much later.

You really are not lying to me?

This sort of thing

♪ I remember the old days, forgetting all past grudges ♪

is considered treacherous in Yunmen.

I used to pay a lot of attention to her.

♪ Through the rise and fall of the world's cruel game ♪

And I stayed very close to her

to observe her.

She never knew.

♪ I cherish your gentle touch ♪

♪ The long, winding road lingers in my heart ♪

Being that close,

I knew what she was really like.

Beautiful.

♪ Like dark clouds surging ♪

Spirited.

Uninhibited.

♪ I vow my life, giving all I have ♪

Reckless and domineering.

♪ Betting on a timeless promise ♪

I had never seen a girl like her.

♪ Holding you despite tremendous danger ♪

Everything about her made me curious.

I wanted to get closer,

♪ Unraveling the conspiracy of time ♪

but I couldn't get too close.

I was worried

♪ Holding your hand ♪

she and others would notice.

♪ I walk with you through countless mountains and rivers ♪

He paid attention to me?

Is that true?

But everyone in the martial world knew

it was an unrequited love.

Rumors spread like wildfire in the martial world

that she had a secret crush on me.

But little did they know

I also had a secret crush on her.

For a very long time,

I wasn't quite sure about my feelings.

Then she died,

right in front of me.

I was heartbroken.

♪ I remember the old days, forgetting all past grudges ♪

I thought

there could only be two endings:

either to avoid her forever,

♪ Through the rise and fall of the world's cruel game ♪

or to take a step closer to her.

But I never imagined

it would end like that.

♪ I cherish your gentle touch ♪

Are... Are you really serious?

♪ The long, winding road lingers in my heart ♪

Before you met me,

you were already in love with Shengyue Sect's saintess?

♪ Like dark clouds surging ♪

You can lie to me about many things,

but you can't

joke about this.

♪ I vow my life, giving all I have ♪

Why would I lie to you about this?

Anyway,

♪ Betting on a timeless promise ♪

you'll find out sooner or later.

♪ Holding you despite tremendous danger ♪

So it makes no difference when I tell you.

Well...

♪ Unraveling the conspiracy of time ♪

Why would you like the saintess?

Why would you like her?

♪ I see longing with new clarity ♪

♪ Love can heal all pain ♪

Yeah.

I've never figured it out either.

Perhaps

it was just a case of "not the right time,

but the right heart."

Then...

did you receive the letters she had someone

deliver to you?

You mean those awful love poems?

Or those lotus cakes half spoiled

by the time they reached Yunmen?

Do you have any idea

how hard she worked to write

those letters?

Also,

it was really difficult to deliver a letter to someone in Yunmen.

Those blockheads were very stubborn.

Do you know that?

Of course I know.

But even so,

she didn't give up.

She sent me letters every day and every month.

I couldn't ignore it.

I didn't understand.

I never gave her any hope.

We barely met a few times.

Why was she so fixated on me?

Probably... because you're handsome.

So shallow.

Was she really just

attracted to my appearance?

It's not that complicated.

As a woman,

I think...

she not only found you handsome.

She also...

She was also very affectionate.

She was affectionate,

but I wasn't heartless.

Yang Qing, actually I...

But being affectionate or not

wouldn't make any difference between us.

She was the saintess of Shengyue Sect.

I am an elder of Yunmen.

For that alone,

nothing was possible between us.

I...

There's a line between good and evil.

No matter how much

I liked her,

on the surface,

I couldn't do anything about it.

Between good and evil,

it's better to keep the line clear.

If she committed evil in front of me,

I would not show mercy.

So,

even though I liked her very much,

and I secretly paid attention to her,

I told myself

I should just let it go.

Because in the end,

I could never be with Shengyue Sect's saintess.

What?

What's with this look?

What were you about to say just now?

I didn't expect Yang Qing to be so conservative.

But he looks very open-minded.

Why does everyone hate Shengyue Sect?

So,

I have an uncle and a former lover

from Shengyue Sect—

that's why you can't accept me, right?

Don't you still get it?

I can't bring trouble to Yunmen.

But

I promise I won't cause you any trouble.

With your connections to Shengyue Sect,

how can I trust you?

Yang Qing,

trust me.

I won't let you down.

Let's go.

Early tomorrow morning,

we need to set off for Yunmen.

W-We?

I can go with you to Yunmen too?

You and Miss Lingyin

helped us so much along the way.

It's only right to invite you back to Yunmen

to properly thank you.

I didn't invite you to Yunmen earlier.

Please forgive me.

But... Fire Hall Master...

Don't worry about him.

He'll have a place to go.

Letting me go to Yunmen with you

already makes me very happy.

Yang Qing,

you are the best person in the world.

Let's go.

I've arrived.

Take this.

What's this?

Didn't you say you wanted to learn some skills to escape?

This is Yunmen's supreme flying skill,

the Celestial Cloud Steps.

I did say I wanted to learn martial arts,

but basic moves would be enough.

Isn't Yunmen's Celestial Cloud Steps

one of the top-tier flying skills?

Only Yunmen's senior disciples can learn it.

Are you sure you want to give this to me?

Seems you know quite a bit.

You taught me the mental technique

of Shengyue Sect to save me back then.

That's not very valuable.

Just take it.

You're really giving this to me?

I don't need to swear an oath?

If I sell it to someone from Shengyue Sect,

and they spread it,

your top technique would be worthless.

No need for an oath.

Take it and practice it.

I trust you.

From now on,

consider yourself half my disciple.

I hope you won't let me down.

You've loved me for so long,

yet I didn't dare respond.

Looking back now,

that was cruel of me.

Compared to your love for me,

this technique is nothing.

Yang Qing, don't worry.

I won't let you down.

I'll head back now.

You know what?

Yang Qing told me today

he already liked me before.

When I was the saintess,

he already had feelings for me.

He finally told you.

How... how did you know?

Actually,

there's something I've been keeping from you.

I didn't tell you before

because I thought it wasn't necessary.

I figured even if you knew,

it would only upset you.

But now it seems

it's time to tell you.

About four years ago,

Yang Qing stayed very close to you

to observe you.

He stayed for about half a year before leaving.

Yang Qing once stayed by my side?

Yes, he is Shanxiu,

that masked person

who was always by my side.

You've dealt with him before.

When you saved the women of the Lu family,

he looked completely shocked.

The one

whose chin you lifted with your dagger hilt—

that was Yang Qing.

Why were you looking at me like that just now?

New recruit of Shengyue Sect?

What?

Surprised that I would save people?

A mute?

Shanxiu?

How could you let Yang Qing into Shengyue Sect?

It was fun.

You liked Yang Qing so much.

Since he was also interested in you,

I might as well give you two a chance

to see if you're truly meant for each other.

If Yang Qing is Shanxiu,

he always happened to run into me.

Yes.

That was why he became my subordinate.

You confessed your love

for him so boldly in the martial world.

Everyone knew about it.

Of course a talented young man like him

would want to see

what you were up to.

So Yang Qing talked to me and had

contact with me that early on?

Why didn't he tell me?

I'm going to ask him.

What are you doing?

Sit down.

Ask what?

What's there to ask?

That was all in the past.

If you go now,

your identity will be exposed.

Yang Qing couldn't accept Shengyue Sect back then.

Can he now?

Besides,

that guy Shang Huai by his side

has been suspicious of our identities.

He thinks we're from Shengyue Sect.

If you go now,

we'll be exposed.

You're right.

We have an important mission.

No matter how good Yang Qing is,

we still have to get the Sun Blade.

[Tianlin Garden]

Yang Qing.

Yang Qing.

When are we leaving?

We'll talk about that later.

Sect Leader sent a letter,

asking us to go to Biluo Valley to celebrate Chief Lu's birthday.

That's so sudden.

Luckily,

Biluo Valley and Yunmen are on the same route.

It shouldn't delay us.

Mr. Yang.

Then Miss Yang and the others...

We'll go with you.

Yunmen's disciples are going to Biluo Valley for a birthday celebration.

What are you going there for?

To be honest,

my birthday happens to be around these days.

As you know,

poor kids like us

are lucky enough if we could have something to eat in childhood.

We didn't have a chance to celebrate birthdays.

Lingyin and I just want to see

how wealthy families celebrate birthdays.

Okay?

Yang Qing,

just consider it as my birthday gift.

Okay?

Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang,

Chief Lu holds a big birthday gathering every year.

Many unknown individuals in the martial world

have been treated with courtesy.

Um... Bringing the two ladies along

shouldn't be an issue.

When is your birthday?

On May 15.

Once we arrive in Biluo Valley, you must follow my lead.

Don't cause any trouble.

Got it. I'll listen to you.

By the way, Yang Qing,

that technique you gave me—

just memorizing it is useless.

In a few days,

tutor me one-on-one.

I'll find a time in the next few days.

Let's see how your practice is coming along.

Okay.

I promise I'll surprise you.

Long time no see.

Come in, please.

You've brought such a grand birthday gift.

Sect Leader Lei of Cangtong presents his gift, the Longquan Sword,

wishing Chief Lu good luck and prosperity.

[Biluo Valley]

You messed it up?

Why are you just standing there?

Say something!

Chief,

Xuanxuan is inexperienced.

She is

no match for Yunmen.

Though we didn't succeed entirely this time,

those kids fell seriously ill.

Even if they remember anything,

it will be considered

as delirium from the poison.

Chief, rest assured.

Qingmu Fortress has been completely wiped out.

And I've destroyed all the other evidence.

Even if Yunmen hears any rumors,

they can't do anything to us.

Has Yuan Yingxing been taken care of?

I personally made him fall off the Biluo Cliff.

The Biluo Cliff is over 3,000 meters high.

No matter how lucky he was,

he couldn't possibly survive.

Buhuan.

You've made up for your mistake this time.

Keep up the good work.

I'll let you take care of Xuanxuan.

Only then can I rest easy.

Father!

I won't marry him!

Who do you want to marry?

Yang Qing?

No way!

Yunmen has stood in my way repeatedly.

And the four major sects will fall into discord sooner or later.

Biluo Valley will never allow Yunmen

to keep lording over us!

Anyway, I refuse!

You...

Have the invitations been delivered?

They've been delivered to the sects at top speed.

[Sun and Moon Blade]

What did Yunmen say?

Sect Leader Feng said

he'll attend the banquet on time

with the Alliance Leader's Token.

The information is reliable, right?

Absolutely.

I didn't expect

the Moon Blade from the Alliance Leader's Token

to be Shengyue Sect's Shengyue Token.

I've seen the Shengyue Token a few times.

It's identical to the Moon Blade in this picture.

The Alliance Leader's Token consists of the Sun Blade and the Moon Blade.

As the alliance leader, Yunmen

has the responsibility to guard the token.

But they lost the Moon Blade.

The Shengyue Token only appeared when the previous chief took office.

I guess that was when

the blade was lost from Yunmen and fell into the hands of Shengyue Sect.

Yunmen has kept this tightly under wraps.

They've deceived the entire martial world.

Chief,

just wait to see Yunmen's disgrace.

Yuan Yingxing was a hero,

but he could never know

the Shengyue Token of Shengyue Sect

is the Alliance Leader's Token that can command

many sects.

Yunmen has long used the Alliance Leader's Token

to lord over Biluo Valley.

Now it's time for the world

to laugh at it.

Biluo Valley looks so magnificent,

but they arranged a shabby room for us.

So stingy.

Come on.

Think about it.

You've offended Lu Xuanxuan so many times.

We're lucky that she didn't ask us

to stay in the woodshed.

Be grateful.

She's just jealous of me.

Forget it.

I'm not here to enjoy myself anyway.

If our people weren't being held here,

I wouldn't have come even if they beg me.

By the way, Yue,

Mingyang already snuck in, disguised as one of the disciples

from another sect.

I took a look around just now.

This place seems loosely guarded,

but they patrol in pairs.

So actually, security is quite tight.

Now everyone in Biluo Valley is busy entertaining guests.

It's the perfect time to search for the dungeon.

Okay.

You go west. I'll go east.

Let's split up.

Be careful.

Miss,

this area is restricted. It's where Chief cultivates.

You can't enter.

Apologies for the disturbance.

There's a mechanism above the door.

Quite tight security.

Wangyue.

Yang Qing,

so you are here.

I've been looking for you.

You came here to look for me?

I finally found you.

Biluo Valley's rule is ridiculous.

Men and women have to stay separately.

It keeps lovers apart.

You were sneaking around here.

What are you up to?

Nothing.

I just miss you.

Sect Leader.

Qing,

this young lady is...

She is... Miss Yang.

Holding each other in broad daylight—

how improper.

What were you two doing just now?

Never mind, I don't want to know.

Qing,

you've always been cautious.

Why were you being so careless?

I'm sorry.

This young lady's voice

sounds somewhat familiar.

I wonder which sect she's from.

I come from a humble background

and haven't joined any sect.

Mr. Yang,

Sect Leader is here for you,

so I'll take my leave.

What's so precious

that I'm not even allowed to look at it?

You came in

without saying a word.

Did anyone see you come in?

Don't worry.

I followed behind Qingcheng Sect's disciples.

No one noticed my identity.

I just heard great news.

I heard Yunmen's Sect Leader

brought the Alliance Leader's Token here,

and Biluo Valley is planning a sacrifice ritual.

So the Sun Blade of Yunmen

is right here now?

Yes.

Is the information reliable?

Seems all the guests here know about this.

And I just ran into

Saintess in the garden.

She also mentioned Feng Xingyun's attendant

was carrying a box.

He wouldn't let anyone take a second look at it.

I guess the Alliance Leader's Token is in that box.

Who was that woman just now?

An orphan from Yangliu Town.

She helped us quite a bit when we

were investigating the missing kids.

Her uncle sold her to a local bully.

With nowhere else to go,

she's been tagging along with us for the time being.

You two are close?

Miss Yang is outgoing.

She gets along with everyone easily.

She doesn't understand proper etiquette,

but you are an elder of Yunmen.

You should mind your conduct.

But Miss Yang's voice

sounds very familiar.

How would you know a country girl?

You must be mistaken.

I may be old,

but I'm not muddled.

Last year, Jiang Yan wanted to go home

to celebrate his mother's birthday.

But you insisted

he had just celebrated his mother's birthday a month ago,

causing quite a fuss.

In the end, you realized you had remembered incorrectly.

It was another disciple who celebrated

his mother's birthday a month ago.

The two of them look so alike.

Forget it.

I believe you. I won't say more about it.

As for the missing children, we traced the clues to a bandit named Cao Fei

from Qingmu Fortress.

And then the trail went cold.

But all signs point to Biluo Valley.

Do you really believe Biluo Valley is involved?

I'm sure of it.

Biluo Valley must be involved.

But I don't have enough evidence

to confront them openly.

I believe you.

Chief Lu of Biluo Valley

is indeed no easy character.

Since he became the chief,

he's stirred up trouble frequently.

We shouldn't have intentions of harming others,

but we must stay vigilant.

We must be cautious with Biluo Valley.

Yeah.

Regardless of other matters,

the birthday celebration is suspicious.

Qing,

do you know why

I summoned you back so urgently?

Is it about the Alliance Leader's Token?

The Alliance Leader's Token?

Although Shengyue Sect has been destroyed,

the martial world is still in turmoil.

Chief Lu wants to take advantage of this birthday celebration

to call upon heroes across the land to worship the Alliance Leader's Token,

in a bid to honor those who died

in the battle between good and evil.

More importantly,

he wants to reestablish connections

and trust among the sects.

The martial world's matters should be settled in the martial world.

Yunmen will give its full support.

No wonder you traveled so far to deliver the Alliance Leader's Token.

The token is in this box.

I'm entrusting it to you now.

Do not let anything go wrong.

Yes, Sect Leader.

He's gone.

Does Chief Lu really intend to worship the Alliance Leader's Token?

I think it's highly suspicious.

[Noble and Unsullied]

Put this herb in it.

What is this place?

You're awake.

This is my home.

You are...

You can call me Lady Bingcan.

Why am I here?

My apprentice went to gather herbs in the valley,

and found you two badly wounded and unconscious.

So he brought you here for treatment.

Thank you, Lady Bingcan.

By the way,

where is the young lady who was with me?

Her injuries are far more severe than yours.

I can only keep her breathing.

Whether she can wake up or not—

it's still uncertain.

Take me to her now.

Now the Moon Blade is missing.

If word of this gets out,

the martial world will inevitably fall into chaos again.

I was against the ritual in the beginning,

but Chief Lu acted first and spread the news.

The other sects all responded enthusiastically.

By the time I tried to stop it,

it was too late.

I could only let it happen.

There has never been such a ritual.

Why does Chief Lu insist on it this year?

Chief Lu has long been displeased with Yunmen being the martial world's leader.

He must have discovered something

and wants to use this opportunity to discredit Yunmen.

Whatever he may have learned,

we can't let the news of the Moon Blade's disappearance spread.

Qing,

you went undercover in Shengyue Sect.

That was a few years ago.

But I still want to ask you,

back then,

did you really find no clue about the Moon Blade?

The Shengyue Token that Saintess has been entrusted with

vanished suddenly.

For that reason,

she'll lose her position as Saintess.

She might even lose her life too.

Our opportunity has come.

But I think

Chief Yuan trusts Saintess deeply.

He probably won't punish her easily.

Saintess's duty is to guard the Shengyue Token.

Now that it's missing,

she must pay with her life.

Otherwise, how can Shengyue Sect

make others convinced?

Back then,

I really didn't find any clue.

Sect Leader, rest assured.

Even without the Moon Blade,

I will see Yunmen through this crisis.

After the fall of Shengyue Sect,

I secretly searched Mount Yin,

but found nothing.

By the way, your Junior Yao

went undercover in Shengyue Sect.

But after completing her mission,

she never returned to Yunmen.

I wonder how she's been.

A few days ago,

I received a letter from her.

After I replied,

there was no further word from her.

She arrived at Biluo Valley before we did.

Who knows what may have happened?

Forget it.

She's always been independent.

I'm sure she has her own plans.

As for the birthday celebration,

I've already made foolproof arrangements.

When the time comes,

we...
