[A Forbidden Marriage]

[Episode 12]

Yang Qing.

Are you celebrating my birthday?

Wangyue, I'd like to toast you.

Wangyue.

Happy birthday.

I've decided.

From now on, my birthday will be May 15.

I can't let Yang Qing feel like he's been deceived.

What have you decided?

Nothing.

I've decided to celebrate all my birthdays with you from now on.

You're so nice to me.

Is there anything you want me to do?

No.

There must be.

Just be honest and tell me.

Otherwise, I'd feel guilty.

I'm afraid that if I'm completely honest,

I might scare you.

You won't.

Just tell me.

Between the Shengyue Sect and me,

which would you choose?

You... Ask something else.

If

Yuan Yingxing and I both fell into the river,

who would you save?

No way, Yang Qing.

Are you being serious right now?

Last time I saved you,

I nearly died myself.

If you want me to save you again,

you might as well let me drown instead.

It's just a hypothetical question.

You have to choose one.

Choose, choose, choose. Why do I have to choose?

A grown man needing me to save him.

I guess I'll choose Yuan Yingxing.

After all, he's my Chief.

No matter who dies, he must not.

No.

I need to stay calm.

Usually when men ask questions like this,

they just want to hear you say you'd save them.

It's the same as saying you like them.

I'd save you.

Of course I would save you.

That's a relief.

If you and Junior Yao fell into the river together,

I would save you too.

I mean I'd save you first.

That was a pretty good answer.

Good girl, so clever.

Let's eat, the food is getting cold.

Here.

It's Chief Lu's 50th birthday celebration.

He's invited heroes from all walks of the martial world,

and now all major sects have sent their elite disciples

to Biluo Valley to celebrate Chief Lu's birthday.

How hypocritical.

Yingxing.

In the next few days, Biluo Valley will be filled with masters.

With your strength alone,

it would be hard to achieve your goal through direct confrontation.

We need to use strategy.

Are you telling me what to do?

Anyway,

you must stay close to me these days

and don't wander off.

Don't try any tricks on me,

or I don't know what I might

do to you next time.

[Rosy Grace & Moonlit Charm]

Yingxing.

Stay here and behave.

Don't go out unnecessarily,

and don't wander around.

Did you hear me?

Where are you going?

I'm going to find out where the dungeon is.

By yourself?

I have to go alone.

Right now, there are not only guards in Biluo Valley,

but also leaders of all the major sects.

You'd be easily discovered if you went.

Then hurry up and go.

I'm tired and don't want to hear your nonsense.

Yingxing.

As long as you stay put

and don't cause me any trouble,

I promise,

once I find out where the dungeon is,

I'll come back and take you to rescue them.

Qing.

Sect Leader.

Senior.

Fu, you're back.

Some disciples reported earlier,

but I thought they had mistaken someone else for you.

You...

Are you hurt?

No, I just...

Good that you're not injured.

I sent people everywhere to look for you,

but there was no news of you.

You've been away from Yunmen for so long.

I've been worried about you.

Your senior Yang has to be blamed

for not taking good care of you.

Sect Leader.

I just remembered

I met a junior sister from Biluo Valley earlier

and promised to give her some guidance in swordsmanship.

You've just returned.

You should rest more.

All right, you may go.

Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader.

I'll take my leave now.

Qing.

Now that Fu has come back,

you two should get married soon.

I thought

it was just a joke between you and the other elders.

Why would we joke about

your marriage with Fu?

You two grew up together—

it's a perfect match.

We're just helping you make the decision.

I'm not considering matters of marriage for the time being.

You...

You think I don't know what's on your mind?

Fu's family background, talents, and appearance

all make her a perfect match for you.

A good match depends on the heart, not family background.

Besides, Junior Yao has no feelings for me,

and I have no other intentions toward her either.

Why force something that isn't meant to be?

Could it be

you're concerned about her almost marrying Yuan Yingxing?

Back then,

Fu was solely focused on destroying the Shengyue Sect,

which is why she endured humiliation and infiltrated their ranks,

even going so far as to flatter Yuan Yingxing.

She made that sacrifice for everyone's sake.

You absolutely must not let this matter

create a rift between you two.

I have no such reservations whatsoever.

It's just that between Junior Yao and me,

there truly are no romantic feelings.

Matters of marriage should be between families of equal status.

Over these years,

haven't we seen enough conflicts caused by this obsession

with social status in marriages?

For instance...

Alright, alright.

So be it.

Let's set aside your marriage matters for now.

The most pressing issue now

is handling tomorrow's birthday banquet.

If we can just hold on for one more day without letting outsiders know

there's an issue with our Alliance Leader's Token,

then all will be well.

I understand, Master.

Father。

I saw with my own eyes

that both the Sun Blade and Moon Blade are kept in the box.

Is that so?

Mr. Yang has feelings for me,

so he tells me everything.

I just used a small trick,

and he eagerly brought the Alliance Leader's Token to me

to win my favor.

He used to be cold to everyone.

But now,

he treats you differently?

After all, our Biluo Valley is at its peak of power now.

Is this what you meant by "everything is settled?"

Chief, I swear,

I once saw the Shengyue Token at the Shengyue Sect with my own eyes.

It was exactly the same as

the Alliance Leader's Token representing the Moon Blade in that painting.

The Moon Blade is the Shengyue Token,

and the Sun and Moon Blades together form the Alliance Leader's Token.

Could there possibly be

two Moon Blades in this world?

There can't possibly be two Moon Blades in this world.

Yunmen Sect has never lost its Moon Blade.

Father, Jin Buhuan is lying.

He harbors evil intentions,

provoking you against Yunmen,

just to humiliate you in front of everyone.

Chief, I swear!

I really saw the Shengyue Token at the Shengyue Sect.

Is what you want...

Watch out!

This?

Yuan Yingxing?

They all say Biluo Valley is full of cunning traps

and unfathomable martial skills,

but as it turns out, it's nothing special.

Well, well, well, Yuan Yingxing.

So you're not dead.

What,

disappointed that I'm still alive?

Yes.

I am disappointed.

However,

don't even think about leaving Biluo Valley!

Don't worry. I'm not leaving.

Old Man.

I'll give you one chance.

Return my disciples

to me unharmed,

and I'll leave your corpse intact.

What if I don't?

Then don't blame me for being ruthless

when I bathe your Biluo Valley in blood!

How arrogant.

Form the Star Formation!

Old Man.

You couldn't beat me, so you called for help?

Five elements to counter, deploy the Falling Geese Formation!

Rotate the stars,

and switch the formation to break through!

Father, are you alright?

I'm okay.

This is all your fault, you useless fool.

Didn't you say Yuan Yingxing was dead?

Why is he alive again?

I don't think you've spoken a single truth.

Father, you can't trust him anymore.

I never expected Yuan Yingxing to be so resilient

that he's still alive.

Now that Yuan Yingxing has made his appearance,

we'll have quite a show to watch tomorrow.

Pass on my order

to completely seal off Biluo Valley.

Not a single person is allowed to leave!

Got it!

Yingxing.

Yingxing.

Yingxing, are you listening?

Yingxing, what are you trying to do?

I should be the one asking you that.

Sneaking into my room like this,

what are you trying to do?

What can I possibly do?

If I wanted to harm you,

I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

Unnecessary effort.

Yao Fu.

When will you finally stop

sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?

I...

You want to help me again?

And you're putting on that pitiful expression.

Don't you know I'm sick of seeing it?

Yao Fu.

I really want to tear off that face of yours

and see what's truly hiding underneath.

Yingxing.

Listen to me.

Here's the thing.

You caused such big trouble in Biluo Valley,

yet they show no intention of capturing you.

I think something's off.

There must be a trap involved.

The mere Biluo Valley

is nothing to fear.

But this time, it's not just the people of Biluo Valley.

Members of the four major sects are here too.

I know you're desperate to save your men,

but no matter how skilled you are,

you can't possibly fight against so many.

Let's not rush things for now.

Wait until they leave Biluo Valley,

then we'll make our move.

You and I have never been on the same path,

so what's this "we"?

You don't need to concern yourself with my matters.

Right now,

who else besides me can?

If you want to save them,

then take my advice.

Yao Fu.

You should know very well

who caused me to fall into

this helpless situation.

Yuan Yingxing!

Constantly bringing up the past like this,

what's the point?

I've told you

I'll do my best to make up for what happened in the past.

Now,

either you leave Biluo Valley,

or you stay right here

and don't go anywhere.

I'll be guarding outside the door.

If you want to leave,

you'll have to step over my dead body!

Why did someone die on such a joyous day?

Chief Lu,

why did you bring us here?

Chief Lu, these bodies...

Everyone.

Yesterday, Yuan Yingxing

broke into our Biluo Valley dungeon to rescue someone

and slaughtered many of our disciples.

If I hadn't arrived in time,

the casualties would have been even worse.

Yuan Yingxing is extremely cunning.

I failed to capture him.

However, I've ordered

a complete lockdown of Biluo Valley.

He should still be here.

I hope all of you heroes

can help me catch this villain.

Chief Lu, what do you mean?

Wasn't Yuan Yingxing imprisoned in the dungeon?

Sect Leader Feng, you don't know the whole story.

On the way to escort the Shengyue Sect members,

Yuan Yingxing escaped.

I originally thought

that with the strength of Biluo Valley alone,

we could capture him with ease,

so I didn't inform you all, Sect Leaders.

I never expected such a disaster would occur.

This

is all my fault.

I, Lu Jin, apologize to you all.

It's just that

my disciples were so innocent!

They trained diligently for years in the valley,

and before they could make a name for themselves in the martial world,

they were killed by Yuan Yingxing.

I ask all of you heroes

to avenge these innocent souls who died unjustly!

What's going on?

So Yuan Yingxing escaped right after they captured him?

I knew it.

Chief would surely find a way to escape.

Fan Hao is so unreliable.

When I see him later,

I'll definitely teach him a lesson.

For my past mistakes,

can we settle accounts another day?

Everyone, I'd like to say a few words.

Chief Lu lost several disciples yesterday,

which is the price he paid for keeping the information of Yuan Yingxing

to himself.

We should now work together

to subdue Yuan Yingxing first.

As for other matters,

shouldn't we discuss them later?

Chief Lu.

Since Yuan Yingxing is still in Biluo Valley,

do you have any good ideas to flush him out?

Everyone.

The Shengyue Sect doesn't value human life,

so let's fight fire with fire.

Although we haven't captured Yuan Yingxing,

there are still

over 20 Shengyue Sect members imprisoned in the dungeon,

including some high-ranking hall masters and Guardians.

Today, let's execute a few of them—

first, to honor the fallen warriors,

and second,

to force Yuan Yingxing to show himself,

so we can cut the evil at its root!

Yuan Yingxing accidentally killed someone,

but what does that have to do with the Shengyue disciples

who are locked away in Biluo Valley's dungeon?

Chief Lu, why massacre the innocent?

Massacre the innocent?

What a joke!

These Shengyue Sect people have broken the rules of the martial world.

We were merciful before,

keeping them in the dungeon

with the hope they would reform themselves.

But what have those prisoners done?

They've never learnt anything,

spending all day insulting our righteous sects

by calling us the government's lackeys.

And what about those outside?

They waited for the opportunity to strike back.

Not to mention Yuan Yingxing killed

some disciples who were still minors.

Don't you think

they deserve to die?

What should we do?

They're going to kill our people.

So where exactly is our Chief now?

I've long heard

that Chief Lu Jin of Biluo Valley is hypocritical.

Seeing him today, he's indeed extraordinarily hypocritical.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Nothing will happen to our Shengyue Sect members.

Support Chief Lu.

Destroy the evil cult, eliminate the wicked!

Destroy the evil cult, eliminate the wicked!

Destroy the evil cult, eliminate the wicked!

Destroy the evil cult, eliminate the wicked!

Destroy the evil cult, eliminate the wicked!

Everyone, please calm down.

To resolve this matter,

we still need Sect Leader Feng's help.

Sect Leader Feng.

The dungeon holding the Shengyue Sect members

can only be opened with the Sun Blade.

Chief Lu.

I believe hastily opening the dungeon now

would be highly inappropriate.

Once the dungeon is opened,

the imprisoned Shengyue Sect disciples

will rush out all at once.

This would lead to another bloodbath,

and who knows how many people

would lose their lives because of it.

The top priority now is to lure Yuan Yingxing out.

Qing.

Since Chief Lu wants the Sun Blade,

let him have it.

Yes, Sect Leader.

As expected of a divine weapon owned by the Alliance Leader,

it's truly extraordinary.

Isn't that Chief's flute?

Everyone, sit down and meditate,

regulate your energy channels,

and resist the sound of the flute.

Only those who've practiced

the Shengyue Sect mental techniques can resist

the sound of Yuan Yingxing's flute.

Don't give yourself away.

Yuan Yingxing.

So you're Yang Qing.

Wangyue!

Are you okay?

Yue.

Yang Wangyue, what are you doing?

I... I...

Is he your lover too?

Are all men in the world your lovers?

Is every man in the Shengyue Sect

your lover?

He...

He's not my lover.

He...

He's Yuan Yingxing.

What does the fact that he's Yuan Yingxing

have to do with you?

Not much, actually.

Then why did you save him?

I...

I try to do one good deed a day.

Move aside.

I won't.

Move aside!

Yang Qing.

Senior!

Yingxing, go now!

Junior Yao, what are you doing?

Do you know who you're protecting?

And do you know

who you've been protecting time and again?

Let's all die together then.

Yue, come with me.

It's you.

Why are you severely injured again?

I'm okay.

May I stay here for a few days?

Alright.

It's just I need to go make house calls now,

and I'll be gone for over half a month.

As for your injuries...

I can treat them.

The herbs and tools are all inside.

Please help yourself, Miss.

I have patients waiting.

I'll be leaving now.

Thanks a lot.

Yue...

Yingxing.

Yingxing, are you alright?

Do you have any self-awareness?

You've harmed the Shengyue Sect and Yue,

yet you still dare to put on this act?

Get out of my sight.

Chief.

I've given Chief acupuncture,

and he's calmed down for now.

Mingyang.

Keep watch here,

and I'll go get some azalea leaves.

Don't let any troublemakers get near Chief.

It's bad luck.

Got it.

How is Yuan Yingxing doing?

He won't die.

It's just that his internal and external injuries are too severe.

He regained consciousness briefly but then fell unconscious again.

Go check on him.

[Noble and Unsullied]

Yingxing needs to rest now.

Don't stir up trouble.

Yuan Yingxing's appearing in Biluo Valley—

does it have something to do with you again?

I just helped a little.

So it's you again, as expected.

I won't let you off this time!

Are you sure it's you letting me off,

not the other way around?

Yang Qing, you treat our Yue so well.

You'd even go this far for her?

I have my own plans.

Perhaps tomorrow,

Yuan Yingxing will die by my sword.

You won't do that.

Mingyang,

take her away.

Chief.

This woman has injured both the Saintess and you.

How about I kill her right here?

She's still useful. Take her away.

Yuan Yingxing, you're still protecting her.

Don't you know she killed me once

and used dark magic to cloud my mind?

Yue.

The four major sects are all hunting us down now.

We still need her.

We'll deal with this after we've escaped the pursuit.

Mingyang,

take her away.

Yes.

Chief.

You should rest and recover properly now.

It's not advisable to move around.

Lingyin, you may leave now.

I want to talk to Yue alone.

Yue, come here.

Yuan Yingxing, are you alright?

Are you crazy?

Yue,

do you know how much I've missed you?

Just let me tease you a little.

Tell me,

what exactly happened?

At Mount Yin,

after Yao Fu stabbed me with her sword,

I fell off the cliff.

Perhaps it wasn't my time to die,

but when I woke up, my martial skills were gone.

And since I looked exactly like Yang Wangyue,

I was mistaken for someone from Yangliu Town.

Thank goodness you're safe.

Otherwise,

I would have made the entire martial world pay with their lives.

Yuan Yingxing, I've grown up.

You can't just touch a lady's head like that anymore.

You can't still treat me like you did when I was little.

Was it that Yang Qing who taught you this?

I remember you weren't like this before.

Yue, you've found another man,

and now you won't even let me touch you.

That's not true.

Then are you blaming me

for neglecting you all these years?

Is that why you wouldn't let me touch you?

Of course not.

You truly don't blame me?

I used to blame you a little,

but not anymore.

Everyone has their own destiny.

I can't keep tying you to me forever.

Besides,

you're Chief now.

I won't go against you anymore,

except for Yao Fu. You must hand her over to me.

My little Yue has truly grown up.

So what are you planning to do now?

Haven't thought about it.

Haven't thought about it?

You're our Chief.

You need to restore our Shengyue Sect.

You want me to go back?

Of course.

You...

Don't tell me you don't even want the Shengyue Sect anymore.

Then let's go back together

and restore the Shengyue Sect.

Together?

I still need to go find the Sun Blade.

Only with the Sun Blade can I save the Guardians and the others.

You go back first.

I won't be going yet.

In the end, it's still for Yang Qing, isn't it?

It's for the Sun Blade.

As for the Sun Blade,

I'll help you get it.

But as for Yang Qing,

stay away from him.

You're badly injured.

L-Lie down first.

About the Sun Blade,

we can discuss it later.

Just focus on recovering now.

Don't go.

I won't.

Get some sleep.

Has he

been out here all night?

This won't do. I need to talk to him.

I lied to you.

I'm actually from the Shengyue Sect.

You must have known who I am all along, right?

Now that I've found Chief,

I must help him escape safely.

I've deceived you for so long.

I'm truly sorry about that.

But will you let me take him away?

Or,

is there a price I must pay?

You're better at martial arts than me.

Punish me however you want,

but I must take Yuan Yingxing with me.

I know you've always insisted that good and evil cannot coexist,

so we can't walk the same path anymore.

It's best for us to part ways now.

You're thinking the same, aren't you?

After all, I'm just a witch,

acting on every whim.

All those times I teased you,

you could just treat them as jokes.

But the Shengyue Sect you speak of

is the most important part of me.

I will never betray the Shengyue Sect.

Don't try to change my mind.

So let's just end this.

Are you finished?

If you're done, then sit down

and listen to me.

Wangyue.

I don't oppose you returning

to the Shengyue Sect,

but after you go back,

don't cut ties with me completely.

We'll just be in two different places.

If you miss me

and want to contact me,

you still can.

You...

I belong to the Shengyue Sect,

and you're from Yunmen.

Haven't you always insisted that good and evil cannot coexist?

Wangyue.

You need to understand that

I've never asked you to choose,

and you don't have to make a choice.

The one who needs to make a choice

is me.

They say the Shengyue Sect is full of villains

with unpredictable and bizarre personalities.

But I've discovered

that your disciples

mostly joined the Shengyue Sect because they had nowhere else to go.

I believe

only a place like the Shengyue Sect

can embrace all kinds of people

and shelter those who have reached the end of their rope.

Without the Shengyue Sect,

those people would either be harmed by society

or harm others,

which would be truly terrifying.

The martial world

needs a place like the Shengyue Sect.

The way you talk, I might misunderstand

that you've fallen in love with our Shengyue Sect.

Well, not at all.

The problem with the Shengyue Sect

is that it imposes no discipline on its disciples,

allowing the wicked to become even more evil.

The righteous and evil factions have been in conflict for ages,

with grudges and mutual hostility on both sides.

Actually, most of the time,

it's not because the Shengyue Sect does evil,

but because when the two factions meet,

they recall past grievances

and things just spiral out of control.

I believe

that being in the Shengyue Sect yourself,

you must also feel the current chaos within, right?

I think

when Yuan Yingxing wanted to marry Yao Fu,

besides following his heart,

he was also trying to find a way out for the Shengyue Sect.

He wanted to reconcile with the other factions.

Can you stop mentioning that jinx?

Hearing her name makes me feel sick.

So,

how do you plan to reconcile?

I want to meet with Yuan Yingxing in person to discuss

the possibility of reconciliation between Yunmen and the Shengyue Sect.

I've heard

that when his father was Chief,

he briefly made peace with the other factions.

Of course,

the circumstances back then

might be different from now.

However,

for the currently chaotic Shengyue Sect,

this could be a way out.

You're right.

The current Shengyue Sect isn't what it used to be.

But from another perspective,

it's also a good opportunity for renewal.

So,

after you return to the Shengyue Sect,

there's no need for us to part ways completely.

I'm working on a solution.

I've been thinking about it constantly,

just haven't figured it out yet.

That's why I haven't told you.

But between us,

there's always a possibility,

isn't there?

I...

I thought you were ignoring me

because of the conflict between good and evil sects, which is troublesome.

It is troublesome indeed,

I have to use all my strength

just to mediate between the Shengyue Sect

and all the other sects.

Isn't that troublesome?

So you were ignoring me

just because you find me troublesome?

That's too much!

Happy now?

If you're happy now,

go pack your things

and return to your Shengyue Sect.

I won't see you off.

I'm not leaving.

I want to stay here with you.

I want to love you forever.

You mean torment me forever, right?

Whatever you say.

Haven't we already cleared things up?

Why are you rejecting me?

Look at you,

all dirty.

I was kissing you!

How could you ruin the moment like that?

We escaped all the way here from Biluo Valley.

Do you think everyone can be

as elegant as you?
