So, there are nine core members of Tiandi Society.

54
00:02:17,787 --> 00:02:20,067
And they are also the owners
of the Jade Stone Mirror.

One is located in the Capital City.

57
00:02:24,686 --> 00:02:28,907
It seems that he is backed
by a significant power, possibly someone from the imperial court.

58
00:02:28,907 --> 00:02:33,100
And this Six is frank and easy to get along with.

59
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,407
He should be perfect to break through.

60
00:02:35,407 --> 00:02:41,607
This Three, handsome, dashing, humorous, witty, loyal and upright.

61
00:02:41,607 --> 00:02:43,567
He's a Guardian of Bronze Gong.

62
00:02:43,567 --> 00:02:45,367

Two, Li Miaozhen, is located in Yunzhou,

66
00:02:58,246 --> 00:03:02,000
keen on suppressing bandits, known as the Heroine Feiyan.

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,700
Four, Chu Yuanzhen, the chief disciple of Lingbao Pavilion.

68

These two were at odds,

69
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:09,900
seemingly bearing grudges for a long time.

70
00:03:12,866 --> 00:03:17,367
Chu Yuanzhen, the saint of the Human Sect.

71
00:03:17,367 --> 00:03:19,646
<i>[Chu Yuanzhen]</i>
Mr. Wei, you know this person?

72
00:03:19,646 --> 00:03:22,887
This Li Miaozhen should be
the saintess of the Heaven Sect.

73
00:03:22,887 --> 00:03:26,500
The struggle between Heaven Sect and Human Sect has a long history.

74
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,287
These two will fight.

75
00:03:31,906 --> 00:03:37,146
Did Jinlian mention the purpose of establishing the Tiandi Society?

76
00:03:38,206 --> 00:03:42,106
Jinlian said the head of the Earth Sect
has fallen into demon.

77
00:03:42,106 --> 00:03:45,707
Therefore, he formed the Tiandi Society to bestow the Jade Stone Mirror

78
00:03:45,707 --> 00:03:48,300
upon the specially privileged people
scattered all over the world

79
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:49,887
and supported them.

80
00:03:49,887 --> 00:03:54,026
He hopes to get help when he needs it in the future.

81
00:03:54,766 --> 00:03:57,327
The Earth Sect is mysterious.

82
00:03:57,327 --> 00:04:03,107
Guardians still don't know the inside story
of the merit turning into demon.

83
00:04:03,107 --> 00:04:05,127
He knows well you are the Guardian,

84
00:04:05,127 --> 00:04:06,987
yet he does not care at all.

85
00:04:06,987 --> 00:04:09,867
What do you think is the reason?

86
00:04:12,207 --> 00:04:16,947
You mean, Taoist Jinlian is using me as a medium,

87
00:04:16,947 --> 00:04:19,767
wishing to make a secret alliance with you.

88
00:04:21,087 --> 00:04:25,427
From now on, you will be our spy
in the Tiandi Society,

89
00:04:25,427 --> 00:04:28,606
responsible for tracking
the movements of the Earth Sect.

90
00:04:28,606 --> 00:04:32,626

Yes.

to the Scripture Library to pick one.

96

Either is fine. Bade then.

97
00:04:50,807 --> 00:04:55,500
When picking, choose a simple and pure blade technique.

98
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,546
Don't get anything complicated and fancy.

99
00:04:58,546 --> 00:05:03,916
Remember, martial artists are different from others,

100
00:05:03,916 --> 00:05:07,086
without many magical things, only brute strength.

101
00:05:07,086 --> 00:05:11,486
Therefore, the simpler, the better.

102
00:05:13,466 --> 00:05:16,307
When you step into a higher realm,

103
00:05:16,307 --> 00:05:18,906
you will understand this.

Supreme skills are of two kinds.

116
00:06:16,146 --> 00:06:19,400
One is about techniques, and the other is about principles.

117

As for the latter,
you better not think about it.

00:08:35,307 --> 00:08:36,967
Even if the King of the North comes in person,

161
00:08:36,967 --> 00:08:39,427
he also has no ability
to split heaven and earth.

162
00:08:39,427 --> 00:08:42,847
This book is just bluffing,

163
00:08:42,847 --> 00:08:44,900
not worth learning.
<i>[Heaven and Earth Single Slash]</i>

164
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:46,427
Moreover, it's not suitable for you.

165
00:08:46,427 --> 00:08:48,406
Take a look at others.

166
00:08:48,406 --> 00:08:50,966
I think it suits me.

167
00:08:50,966 --> 00:08:53,087
Do you have a magic tool?

168
00:08:53,807 --> 00:08:56,307
Not now, but I might have one in the future.

169
00:08:56,307 --> 00:08:58,607
It doesn't hurt to be prepared.

170
00:08:59,266 --> 00:09:01,987
You only get one chance.

171
00:09:02,746 --> 00:09:04,607
Think it over.

172
00:09:04,607 --> 00:09:07,607
No need, this is the one.

173
00:09:08,388 --> 00:09:10,360
<i>[Heaven and Earth Single Slash]</i>

174
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,667
Heaven and Earth Single Slash?

175
00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:16,330
Exactly, I have told him this supreme skill requires a magic tool

176
00:09:16,330 --> 00:09:18,200
and let him not to waste this opportunity.

177
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,006
But he still chose this one.

178
00:09:21,847 --> 00:09:24,666
Got it. You may go now.

179
00:09:27,246 --> 00:09:29,987
What? Anything else?

180
00:09:29,987 --> 00:09:33,027
After he knew that this supreme skill
costs 300 taels of silver,

181
00:09:33,027 --> 00:09:35,346
he said he didn't bring enough money today and would make up for it another day.

182
00:09:35,346 --> 00:09:38,466
I think he probably doesn't want to pay.

183
00:09:38,466 --> 00:09:40,826
Deduct it from his monthly salary.

184
00:09:40,826 --> 00:09:42,420
Yes.

185
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,907
Bureau of Astronomy.

186
00:09:48,907 --> 00:09:55,347
Master. With Mr. Wei's intelligence, our action might alert him.

187
00:09:55,347 --> 00:09:57,127
No matter.

188
00:09:57,127 --> 00:10:00,227
Anyway, we can't hide it from him.

189
00:10:00,227 --> 00:10:02,847
I really can't hide it from you.

190
00:10:03,986 --> 00:10:06,346
As expected, it was your idea,
Princess Huaiqing.

191
00:10:06,346 --> 00:10:10,706
I wonder why I can get this supreme skill today.

192
00:10:11,386 --> 00:10:13,827
I once visited the Bureau of Astronomy before,

193
00:10:13,827 --> 00:10:17,407
and I have told the Jian Zheng to take care of you.

194
00:10:18,027 --> 00:10:19,947
Although you know about this,

195
00:10:19,947 --> 00:10:22,226
still need to keep a low profile.

196
00:10:22,226 --> 00:10:26,106
You must not tell others about today's matter.

197
00:10:26,586 --> 00:10:28,907
You are not an official
of the Bureau of Astronomy.

198
00:10:28,907 --> 00:10:30,850
If other knows Jian Zheng shows partiality in secret,

199
00:10:30,850 --> 00:10:32,900
his reputation might be ruined.

200
00:10:34,147 --> 00:10:35,907
Today's matter?

201
00:10:35,907 --> 00:10:37,946
What happened today?

202
00:10:38,547 --> 00:10:44,380
I seem to have lost my memory of the day.

203
00:10:55,887 --> 00:10:57,767
Good.

204
00:10:58,606 --> 00:11:00,226
You are so clever.

205
00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:02,226
I'll treat you to a drink today.

206
00:11:02,226 --> 00:11:03,696
Sit.

207
00:11:07,586 --> 00:11:10,027
- Xiaogang, you sit too.
- Okay.

208
00:11:12,206 --> 00:11:17,266
Princess like you, being respectful, kind, and virtuous, are quite rare.

209
00:11:17,266 --> 00:11:19,866
It's my honor to serve you.

210
00:11:19,866 --> 00:11:22,686
Come on. I'll start.

211
00:11:22,686 --> 00:11:24,147
Beginning with you.

212
00:11:24,147 --> 00:11:27,627
Thank you for cultivating me. A toast to you.

213
00:11:31,746 --> 00:11:33,626
Come on, Xiaogang, it's your turn.

214
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:36,847
In terms of position, you are my senior. Please look after me.

215
00:11:36,847 --> 00:11:38,867
- I wouldn't dare.
- A toast to you.

216
00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:47,226
What you mean is,

217
00:11:47,226 --> 00:11:50,746
you're willing to serve me because I value and appreciate you?

218
00:11:50,746 --> 00:11:52,344
Of course.

219
00:11:55,027 --> 00:11:59,466
But if someone values and appreciates you even more,

220
00:11:59,466 --> 00:12:03,906
even if it's not me, would you be willing to follow them?

221
00:12:05,307 --> 00:12:06,506
How could that be possible?

222
00:12:06,506 --> 00:12:10,006
I can't claim to be knowledgeable,
but I also know how to be grateful.

223
00:12:10,006 --> 00:12:13,626
I would never do things like betraying my master.

224
00:12:18,226 --> 00:12:21,147
Don't be so nervous. I'm just chatting.

225
00:12:21,147 --> 00:12:23,046
What if I agree?

226
00:12:23,046 --> 00:12:24,386
You agree too?

227
00:12:24,386 --> 00:12:25,947
I agree too.

228
00:12:25,947 --> 00:12:28,907
Well, then you're not betraying your master.

229
00:12:28,907 --> 00:12:32,847
Are you willing to serve someone else?

230
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,307
Let's put it this way.

231
00:12:35,307 --> 00:12:39,380
Under what conditions would you choose not to serve Huaiqing,

232
00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:41,300
and instead someone else?

233
00:13:00,466 --> 00:13:02,204
I see.

234
00:13:03,586 --> 00:13:05,927
What are you doing?

235
00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:12,646
Since you have already found someone else, why bother to keep me?

236
00:13:12,646 --> 00:13:14,027
Rest assured.

237
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:18,610
I will keep all your kindness to me during this period in my heart,

238
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:20,440
and will not bother you anymore.

239
00:13:20,447 --> 00:13:21,967
Farewell.

240
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:25,166
I-I didn't mean that.

241
00:13:25,166 --> 00:13:28,547
Xu Qi'an, what are you doing?

242
00:13:28,547 --> 00:13:30,947
I've said I didn't mean that.

243
00:13:30,947 --> 00:13:34,226
Well, what do you mean?

244
00:13:37,266 --> 00:13:39,687
I was just talking.

245
00:13:39,687 --> 00:13:43,387
What? You suggested me to serve someone else.

246
00:13:43,387 --> 00:13:45,486
Isn't it because you're already tired of me,

247
00:13:45,486 --> 00:13:48,704
and not embarrassing me?

248
00:13:48,704 --> 00:13:51,806
Breaking up should…

249
00:13:53,027 --> 00:13:55,147
After some drinks, I want to sing.

250
00:13:55,147 --> 00:13:57,966
I swear, if I ever tire of you,

251
00:13:57,966 --> 00:14:01,266
may I be struck by lightning
and not meet a good end.

252
00:14:01,266 --> 00:14:04,506
I, Xu Qi'an, also swear, that I am loyal to Princess Huaiqing.

253
00:14:04,506 --> 00:14:08,207
No matter what happens, I shall not change,

254
00:14:08,207 --> 00:14:11,166
and serve Princess Huaiqing well.

255
00:14:13,824 --> 00:14:15,466
Very well.

256
00:14:16,712 --> 00:14:18,067
Very well.

257
00:14:18,067 --> 00:14:21,827
If in the future, I betray Princess Huaiqing

258
00:14:21,827 --> 00:14:25,747
and serve someone else, just let me be struck by lightning
and not meet a good end.

259
00:14:25,747 --> 00:14:26,746
Enough.

260
00:14:26,746 --> 00:14:29,987
I know it, get up.

261
00:14:32,866 --> 00:14:33,986
Princess,

262
00:14:33,986 --> 00:14:38,766
I've been getting a lot of inspiration these days.
Princess Huaiqing, please hear it out.

263
00:14:38,766 --> 00:14:41,986
Maybe next time. You may leave now.

264
00:14:41,986 --> 00:14:43,266
But we haven't finished the drink.

265
00:14:43,266 --> 00:14:44,346
Get lost!

266
00:14:44,346 --> 00:14:47,586
Okay, then I won't disturb you.

267
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:49,226
Huaiqing.

268
00:14:49,226 --> 00:14:51,686
Thinking of Princess Huaiqing all day long.

269
00:14:51,686 --> 00:14:53,907
Your Highness, it is not good.

270
00:14:53,907 --> 00:14:57,386
Xu Qi'an admires Princess Huaiqing so much.

271
00:14:57,386 --> 00:15:00,266
Now, can he serve you loyally?

272
00:15:01,127 --> 00:15:04,007
Admires?

273
00:15:06,427 --> 00:15:08,120
Then let him down.

274
00:15:09,347 --> 00:15:16,487
Between people, how can we build the unbreakable trust?

275
00:15:16,487 --> 00:15:19,270
That's simple. Take him to the Bureau of Music and have a drink.

276
00:15:19,270 --> 00:15:20,640
Then the relationship will be unbreakable.

277
00:15:20,647 --> 00:15:23,527
She's too smart to fall for this trick.

278
00:15:23,527 --> 00:15:26,187
Then you do whatever she wants, gradually improving the relationship.

279
00:15:26,187 --> 00:15:28,147
No, I've already been working so hard for her.

280
00:15:28,147 --> 00:15:32,846
Is it still not enough? She is still testing me.

281
00:15:32,846 --> 00:15:34,427
Zhu Guangxiao, see?

282
00:15:34,427 --> 00:15:38,547
During having a meal, he is still working hard for the career.

283
00:15:38,967 --> 00:15:41,700
We are far behind.

284
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:45,447
So, he can enter the Haoqi Tower.

285
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,707
 

286
00:15:51,707 --> 00:15:52,907
- Owner.
- Have you finished eating?

287
00:15:52,907 --> 00:15:55,566
- No need for change.
- All right, thank you.

288
00:16:01,067 --> 00:16:03,027
You owed me two taels
from our last mahjong game.

289
00:16:03,027 --> 00:16:04,926
Seems like it.

290
00:16:05,746 --> 00:16:07,226
What?

291
00:16:07,226 --> 00:16:10,427
The taels in Ningyan's hand seems to be mine.

292
00:16:10,427 --> 00:16:12,086
I've been losing taels frequently.

293
00:16:12,086 --> 00:16:13,787
Two qian.

294
00:16:13,787 --> 00:16:15,547
You can't just claim it.

295
00:16:15,547 --> 00:16:16,686
Does it have your name?

296
00:16:16,686 --> 00:16:18,132
Let me see.

297
00:16:21,707 --> 00:16:24,287
Look, I wonder it looked so familiar, it is indeed mine.

298
00:16:24,287 --> 00:16:25,707
- Indeed.
- Ningyan.

299
00:16:25,707 --> 00:16:27,887
Where did you pick up this?

300
00:16:36,067 --> 00:16:37,067
What's going on?

301
00:16:37,067 --> 00:16:38,787
The red light is warning us.

302
00:16:38,787 --> 00:16:40,907
Usually it's a situation
of searching or arresting.

303
00:16:40,907 --> 00:16:43,290
It could be that some other Guardians
came across someone suspicious,

304
00:16:43,290 --> 00:16:44,680
but let him run away.

305
00:16:44,686 --> 00:16:47,966
Looking at the distance of this red light. It should be very close to us.

306
00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:51,647
Bro, what's going on?

307
00:16:51,647 --> 00:16:52,986
Earl Pingyuan has been killed,

308
00:16:52,986 --> 00:16:55,226
and the two colleagues
responsible for the area were also injured.

309
00:16:55,226 --> 00:16:58,486
The murderer escaped using a secret technique, currently missing.

310
00:16:58,486 --> 00:17:00,407
Earl Pingyuan?

311
00:17:01,066 --> 00:17:03,026
The earl was killed?

312
00:17:03,026 --> 00:17:05,527
What are you waiting for? Hurry up.

313
00:17:06,807 --> 00:17:08,726
Bros, go.

314
00:17:16,687 --> 00:17:18,606
<i>Everyone, I am Six.</i>

315
00:17:18,606 --> 00:17:21,466
<i>I've encountered trouble in the Capital City. Can you help?</i>

316
00:17:21,466 --> 00:17:24,147
<i>Six, what trouble have you encountered?</i>

317
00:17:24,147 --> 00:17:28,066
<i>I am trapped in the inner city, currently facing a manhunt by the Guardians.</i>

318
00:17:29,727 --> 00:17:31,486
No way.

319
00:17:32,107 --> 00:17:33,707
The Guardians haven't found me yet.

320
00:17:33,707 --> 00:17:37,347
But within two hours, the alchemists
from the Bureau of Astronomy will arrive.

321
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:40,608
<i>[Heng Yuan, Six of the Tiandi Society, Eighth Rank]</i>
By then, I can't escape.

322
00:17:40,608 --> 00:17:43,744
But I am too far away, beyond the reach.

323
00:17:43,744 --> 00:17:48,027
Six, maybe you could break through by force?

324
00:17:48,027 --> 00:17:50,266
It won't work. The city gates are too far.

325
00:17:50,266 --> 00:17:53,306
Along the way, there are Guardians
and Imperial Sword Guards patrolling.

326
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:57,107
Besides, once out of the inner city, there's still the outer city.

327
00:17:57,107 --> 00:18:00,826
- Any magic tools that can hide your aura on you?
- No.

328
00:18:00,826 --> 00:18:04,647
I do have one, but I can't send it to you.

329
00:18:04,647 --> 00:18:05,986
Rest assured.

330
00:18:05,986 --> 00:18:07,587
If I can't escape this,

331
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:09,786
I will leave the mirror in its place.

332
00:18:09,786 --> 00:18:12,806
Tomorrow you can follow my aura to get it.

333
00:18:12,806 --> 00:18:15,226
Six, what are you saying?

334
00:18:15,226 --> 00:18:17,986
Ask One, he's in the Capital City.

335
00:18:17,986 --> 00:18:19,907
One, can you help me?

336
00:18:19,907 --> 00:18:21,727
<i>[One]</i>

337
00:18:21,727 --> 00:18:23,726
What have you done?

338
00:18:26,627 --> 00:18:29,026
I've killed Earl Pingyuan.

339
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:31,866
Sorry. I can't help you.

340
00:18:31,866 --> 00:18:35,607
One, we are all members of the Tiandi Society.
Just help him if you can.

341
00:18:35,607 --> 00:18:38,346
I believe Six would not kill without reason.

342
00:18:38,346 --> 00:18:41,252
<i>[One]</i>

343
00:18:41,707 --> 00:18:43,867
Six, you once helped me.

344
00:18:43,867 --> 00:18:45,387
I can consider helping you.

345
00:18:45,387 --> 00:18:49,127
But you have to tell me your reason for killing Earl Pingyuan.

346
00:18:51,007 --> 00:18:54,386
<i>If he was a good person, I'll just help him.</i>

347
00:18:54,386 --> 00:18:57,026
<i>By this, I can establish some prestige
in the Tiandi Society.</i>

348
00:18:57,026 --> 00:19:00,967
<i>If he was a villain, I can first gain his trust.</i>

349
00:19:00,967 --> 00:19:02,826
<i>After knowing his exact location,</i>

350
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:05,827
<i>I'll hand him over to the Guardians in exchange for credit.</i>

351
00:19:05,827 --> 00:19:07,947
<i>Anyway, I'm not at a loss.</i>

352
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,400
You don't have to tell me, but think it through.

353
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Right now, I am the only one who can help you.

354
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,500
Six.

355
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:22,400
Since Three is willing to help, stop hiding it.

356
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,100
Right, you've caused such a big trouble.

357
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:28,100
If you want help,
you should show some sincerity.

358
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,900
A year ago, my junior went missing.

359
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,900
I suspect he was trafficked

360
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:43,500
and sent out of the Capital City secretly.

361
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:45,900
After extensive investigation and inquiries,

362
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:48,300
I finally identified
a human traffickers' organization.

363
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:52,000
And the mastermind
behind this human traffickers' organization

364
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,200
is Earl Pingyuan.

365
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,600
So you killed him out of anger?

366
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,600
I infiltrated Earl Pingyuan's mansion

367
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,800
to interrogate him
for my junior's whereabouts, but failed,

368
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,900
then I killed him to atone for sins.

369
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000
<i>So, he's a young cynic.</i>

370
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,300
<i>Actually, he could have reported Earl Pingyuan.</i>

371
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,400
<i>Killing was really unwise.</i>

372
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Violating the law by force.

373
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,700
Why didn't you report it to the yamen?

374
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:19,100
<i>Look. This One is wiser.</i>

375
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:20,900
Nonsense!

376
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:23,700
If reporting it works, then Earl Pingyuan would have long been dead.

377
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:25,600
Officials shield one another.

378
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,200
There are no gods protecting us,

379
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,700
but justice lies in our swords.

380
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,700
<i>This Two is even more impulsive than Six.</i>

381
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,100
I killed him for a reason.

382
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:43,000
This year, I've saved many children.

383
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,800
Most of them are physically disabled,

384
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,700
suffering hunger and starvation,

385
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,000
enduring relentless torment,

386
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,900
crawling on the ground begging.

387
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:54,800
If they could get some money,

388
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,200
they would have a bite of cold rice.

389
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,600
If they couldn't beg for any money,

390
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,200
they would die exposed in the wilderness.

391
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,300
Well, where are those children now?

392
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:11,100
I placed the surviving children in the Anji House for care.

393
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,600
Later, I found out

394
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,800
they were trafficked by the human
traffickers' organization from various places.

395
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,200
Six, are you sure about this?

396
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,100
It's absolutely true.

397
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,000
Earl Pingyuan secretly cultivated
the human traffickers' organization,

398
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,500
trafficking people in the Capital City
for huge profits.

399
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:33,600
They sold the children and women

400
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,700
to brothels and illegal workshops.

401
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:39,400
They trained them to be thieves,

402
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,400
even injured their bodies for others' entertainment.

403
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,100
Therefore, even if it wasn't for the sake of my junior,

404
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,600
I would definitely not let Earl Pingyuan off.

405
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,900
Only by killing him could I destroy
the human traffickers' organization

406
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:58,200
could I destroy
the human traffickers' organization

407
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,000
and save more people.

408
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,800
Good, well killed.

409
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,400
There's no use keeping such scum.

410
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,400
Indeed, what Six has done is truly excellent.

411
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,500
Three, if you can save Six this time,

412
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:15,600
I'll owe you once.

413
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,200
Count me in too.

414
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,000
Three. I hope you can help him.

415
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,900
Although you killed for a reason,

416
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:26,000
murdering the earl is something serious.

417
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,300
Rescuing someone from the Guardians is even more difficult.

418
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,360
No matter who takes action, it will surely bring trouble upon them.

419
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:39,700
 

420
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:41,900
<i>[Three]</i>

421
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,800
I don't want to cause you any trouble.

422
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:53,000
I will take responsibility for what I've done.

423
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,200
<i>[Six]</i>

424
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Six, where are you now?

425
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,600
<i>[Six]</i>

426
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,200
You go over there.

427
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,400
Two of you, go over there. The rest follow me.

428
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Search carefully.

429
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,400
- Do not overlook any corner.
- Understood.

430
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,300
The academy's robes are blessed with
an overwhelming aura of righteousness,

431
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:20,300
can shield the murderous aura.

432
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:24,300
Three is from the Yunlu Academy?

433
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,200
<i>Vajra Staff?</i>

434
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,700
<i>This guy is from the Heaven Domain.</i>

435
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,700
<i>[Jiang Lvzhong, Guardian, Fourth-Rank Warrior]</i>

436
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:51,500
Weird.

437
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,000
Why has the blood light disappeared?

438
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Song Tingfeng of Chunfeng Division.

439
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,100
Zhu Guangxiao of Chunfeng Division.

440
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:00,500
Greetings to Mr. Jiang.

441
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,600
Any traces of the murderer been found?

442
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,000
We've searched along the street
and found nothing yet.

443
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,500
I haven't found anything either.

444
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,200
Sirs, are you sure
that the blood light appeared here?

445
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,400
Are you questioning us?

446
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,200
I wouldn't dare.

447
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,400
Have you searched down there?

448
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000
- No.
- No.

449
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,800
The way you people of Chunfeng Division work is always this careless?

450
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,800
Mr. Jiang, found it.

451
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,500
Boss.

452
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,700
It seems to be some magic tool.

453
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,900
How can there be a magic tool in the ditch?

454
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,500
Did the murderer drop it?

455
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,000
- Go report it.
- Yes.

456
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,800
Hold on.

457
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,500
Mr. Xu.

458
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,000
Mr. Xu, it's been a long time
since you visited the Bureau of Astronomy.

459
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,100
- Mr. Song always mentions you.
- Exactly.

460
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,600
Mr. Xu, please come to the Bureau of Astronomy
for tea another day.

461
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,400
We are all looking forward
to learning alchemy from you.

462
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,500
- Alchemy?
- Some other day.

463
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,700
I'm on duty.

464
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:40,400
Okay.

465
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,800
Sir, this item is mine.

466
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,000
Yours? Who are you? From which division?

467
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,600
He is from our Chunfeng Division.

468
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,800
His name is Xu Qi'an.

469
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,800
Sir, Mr. Wei gave me this item.

470
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
Can you return it to me now?

471
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,700
Why is it inside the ditch?

472
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,600
I just had an upset stomach.

473
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,300
Maybe during I…

474
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:14,400
I dropped it.

475
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,600
Sir, if you don't believe me,

476
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,100
you may verify it with Mr. Wei.

477
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Bro, you're really something.

478
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,800
Exactly, just ignore him.

479
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:36,600
Sirs, do you know him?

480
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,000
We know him, but he might not know us.

481
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,800
Why?

482
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,300
You know Song Qing, right?

483
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:48,800
Jian Zheng has said he's a once-in-a-century alchemy genius.

484
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,800
But Song Qing often says a sentence lately.

485
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,300
Do you know what it is?

486
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:56,700
This Xu Ningyan is truly my master.

487
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Tomorrow, you go to Chunfeng Division

488
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,000
and get this lad to me.

489
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,700
Yes.

490
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,800
Qi'an, you are really amazing.

491
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,000
Brings honor to our Chunfeng Division.

492
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Shut up, they are not far away.

493
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,800
What's there to fear? We have Qi'an.

494
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,200
What can he do to us?

495
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,500
Think about what happened just now.

496
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:23,000
Alchemy.

497
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,200
You are something,

498
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600
I can't afford to offend, I'll run.

499
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,700
- What are you laughing for?
- Sir.

500
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:32,200
Slacking off and talking nonsense.

501
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,300
Go search.

502
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,400
Alright, go search. Stop laughing.

503
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,000
Three.

504
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Why get me in this kind of place?

<i>[South Gate]</i>

506
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,600
We've searched all night long, yet gained nothing.

507
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,400
We only caught two thieves.

508
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Not bad. At least we can get five qian of reward money.

509
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,500
<i>I wonder how Six is doing now.</i>

510
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,200
I have to go back and report to the yamen.

511
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
Ningyan, come along?

512
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,400
I have something to deal with.
You guys go back first.

513
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,500
See you at the yamen in the afternoon.

514

00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:47,900
<i>Six!</i>

516
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:49,400
What's wrong?

517
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,400
He's just a scholar.

518
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,600
No. He's not a scholar.

519
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Look at the outfit he's wearing.

520
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,200
It's definitely not his, doesn't fit him at all.

521
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,600
And his footsteps seem a bit unsteady,

522
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,400
as if he's been through a tough battle.

523
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,700
Moreover, he came from the inner city.

524
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Is he…?

525
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,700
Exactly.

526
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:18,700
He must have

527
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,700
gone to the Bureau of Music.

528
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:28,700
I also want to visit the Bureau of Music.

529
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,800
Can we go tonight then?

530
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:33,600
I'm too tired. I want to enjoy.

531
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Let's go back and rest.

532
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,600
If it's to the Bureau of Music,
I don't want to rest at all.

<i>[Chunfeng Division]</i>

00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,800
Don't you need to report?

536
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,000
Already reported.

537
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Then continue searching for the murderer?

538
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,000
Why rush? The leader doesn't tell us to.

539
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
It's weird.

540
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,600
It's supposed to be a big deal.

541
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,400
What's so weird about it?

542
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,300
Earl Pingyuan is not a good man.

543
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:33,400
Mr. Wei would be glad to be rid of such a scum.

544
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,200
Mr. Wei is such a person?

545
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,200
Move it once you've done.

546
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,600
It's burning my backside.

547
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600
I've searched around
Earl Pingyuan's mansion all night,

548
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
including all the residences and inns
in the inner city where he might hide,

549
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
yet no traces of the murderer were found.

550
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,500
The masters of the Bureau of Astronomy didn't sense the murderous aura
of the murderer.

551
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:56,700
Sorry for being incompetent.

552
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:58,900
Mr. Wei, I'm willing to accept punishment.

553
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:01,000
Mr. Jiang, you are truly capable.

554
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,600
With the help of someone
from the Bureau of Astronomy,

555
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,800
you still let the murderer escape.

556
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Do you know that everyone in the imperial court

557
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,800
waiting to make a mockery of us, Guardian?

558
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,500
I will dispatch more people and expand the search area.

559
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:15,600
I must arrest this murderer today.

560
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Alright. After searching for him all night, you must be tired too.

561
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Go back and rest.

562
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,500
Yes.

563
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:38,600
Mr. Wei, have you recently given
a magic tool to someone?

564
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Be frank.

565
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,700
I have another matter to report to you.

566
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:54,000
Mr. Wei, regarding the death of Earl Pingyuan,

567
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
the Ministry of Justice is also
conducting a secret investigation.

568
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,800
They probably want to be
the first to find the murderer,

569
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600
and seize the opportunity
to criticize the Guardians for incompetence.

570
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,100
If the Guardians can't find any clues,

571
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:04,900
what could those useless people possibly find?

572
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Greeting, Mr. Wei. Mr. Xu is here.

573
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,100
I have an important matter to report.

574
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,800
Go ahead.

575
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,200
Mr. Wei, I have an important matter to report to you privately.

576
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,700
What? You are a mere Bronze Gong,
how dare you to ask us to leave?

577
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,700
You may leave.

578
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:47,600
Leave.

579
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Come up.

580
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,700
Yes.

581
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,100
About the Tiandi Society?

582
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,600
About the Earl Pingyuan.

583
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,500
The one who killed Earl Pingyuan is Six of the Tiandi Society.

584
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,600
What's the reason?

585
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,100
Releasing a criminal secretly,

586
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,000
you should be punished.

587
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,200
Are you insane?

588
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,400
I am aware of my guilt.

589
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,300
I know my mistake.

590
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:36,000
After a night of trepidation,

591
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I can't help but to confess to you.

592
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,500
To execute or to exile me, it's all up to you.

593
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:56,400
Today, only when I chatted with colleagues

594
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,200
did I find out you were reprimanded by His Majesty

595
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,600
and criticized by the officials at the imperial court.

596
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,700
Thinking of your kindness to me,

597
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:08,900
- I…
- Shut up.

598
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:12,200
Kindness? That's too much.

599
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,500
Just tell me the reason.

600
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:23,200
Earl Pingyuan secretly cultivated
the human traffickers' organization,

601
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,100
earning huge profits by trafficking people.

602
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:28,400
After the human traffickers
abducted children and women,

603
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,700
they'd sell them to brothels
and illegal workshops,

604
00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:32,200
or train them as thieves,

605
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,600
even injure their bodies
for other's entertainment.

606
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,000
Even after I heard it,

607
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,700
I wished I could execute him myself.

608
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Stand up and speak.

609
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,800
Yes.

610
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,900
Xu Qi'an.

611
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:06,300
How much do you know about the Tiandi Society?

612
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:11,700
How much do you know about the Earth Sect's Jinlian?

613
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:17,600
According to the investigation,

614
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,500
Earl Pingyuan indeed cultivated
a human traffickers' organization.

615
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:25,900
But did that Six really do so

616
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:28,500
only for his so-called junior?

617
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,600
Perhaps Earl Pingyuan is involved in other crimes.

618
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:40,000
Perhaps the human traffickers' organization
did something

619
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,900
that brought disaster upon themselves.

620
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:48,600
Have you thought about all of this?

621
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,700
<i>He is teaching me how to do things.</i>

622
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:54,800
<i>He truly wants to cultivate me.</i>

623
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,500
You are right.

624
00:36:56,500 --> 00:37:01,000
Anyway, stay out of this.

625
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,400
I will send someone else to investigate.

626

628
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,100
And,

629
00:37:18,577 --> 00:37:20,877
protect yourself.

630
00:37:26,996 --> 00:37:29,276
I will certainly give it my all.

631
00:37:33,636 --> 00:37:35,437
Ridiculous.

632

634
00:37:45,296 --> 00:37:48,017
I'm sowing discord. Show me some respect.

635
00:37:53,856 --> 00:37:56,216
You know what his qualifications are.

636
00:37:56,216 --> 00:37:58,417
You are also aware

But he doesn't take you seriously.

You're aware of this, aren't you?

640

But he is under my command.

641
00:38:08,776 --> 00:38:10,857
This is also a fact.

Master Heng Yuan, you have finally returned.

649
00:38:42,177 --> 00:38:44,796
Why are you dressed like this?

650
00:38:44,796 --> 00:38:47,817
I went to handle some matters.

651
00:38:47,817 --> 00:38:51,317
We're at our wits' end here.

652
00:38:58,977 --> 00:39:02,416
I'll think of a way yet embarrassed by a Bronze Gong.

653
00:39:06,952 --> 00:39:09,016
<i>Six.</i>

654
00:39:09,016 --> 00:39:11,057
<i>Six, are you safe?</i>

655
00:39:11,725 --> 00:39:14,044
<i>[Anji House]</i>

656
00:39:14,684 --> 00:39:16,376
<i>[Four]</i>

657
00:39:16,376 --> 00:39:18,497
How is it? Are you safe?

658
00:39:18,497 --> 00:39:20,457
No news all night.

659
00:39:20,457 --> 00:39:22,397
I didn't dare to ask.

660
00:39:22,896 --> 00:39:25,104
Thanks for your concern.

661
00:39:25,104 --> 00:39:26,696
I am safe for now.

662
00:39:26,696 --> 00:39:30,176
So, did Three save you?

663
00:39:30,176 --> 00:39:35,468
Yes. Thanks to Three, I could escape.

664
00:39:35,468 --> 00:39:37,980
<i>[Three]</i>

665
00:39:37,980 --> 00:39:40,097
Why hasn't Three shown up yet?

666
00:39:40,097 --> 00:39:41,517
Something's happened to them?

667
00:39:41,517 --> 00:39:43,796
Three is blessed.

668
00:39:43,796 --> 00:39:44,928
Nothing will happen to him.

669
00:39:44,928 --> 00:39:47,400
<i>[Three]</i>

670
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,977
- Three.
- Six.

671
00:39:48,977 --> 00:39:50,256
I've received news.

672
00:39:50,256 --> 00:39:52,256
The Guardians have obtained some clues.

673
00:39:52,256 --> 00:39:53,457
They will continue to investigate you.

674
00:39:53,457 --> 00:39:56,656
You need to be prepared and stay vigilant.

675
00:39:56,656 --> 00:39:59,164
Thank you for the reminder.

676
00:39:59,164 --> 00:40:03,517
Three not only saved Six, and even infiltrated the Guardians.

677
00:40:03,517 --> 00:40:05,577
He's really something.

678
00:40:05,577 --> 00:40:10,536
Six, now that Three is here. Tell us how you were saved.

679
00:40:11,597 --> 00:40:13,144
Three.

680
00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:16,908
Can... I tell them?

681
00:40:16,908 --> 00:40:18,097
Why not?

682
00:40:18,097 --> 00:40:20,717
I am open and forthright. Tell them.

683
00:40:20,717 --> 00:40:22,196
Okay.

684
00:40:22,196 --> 00:40:26,977
Well, Three gave me an academy's robe,

685
00:40:26,977 --> 00:40:28,816
which helped shield my murderous aura.

686
00:40:28,816 --> 00:40:32,836
That's right, but merely shielding the murderous aura wasn't enough.

687
00:40:32,836 --> 00:40:38,376
Then, I took Six to a secluded inn to hide.

688
00:40:38,376 --> 00:40:41,516
Even so, the Guardians' search is thorough.

689
00:40:41,516 --> 00:40:43,328
How did you evade them?

690
00:40:43,328 --> 00:40:45,049
Of course, he couldn't evade them.

691
00:40:45,049 --> 00:40:49,009
As expected, the Guardians
still discovered Six's trail.

692
00:40:49,009 --> 00:40:52,749
In the critical moment, fortunately, I was well-prepared.

693
00:40:52,749 --> 00:40:54,628
What did you do?

694
00:40:54,628 --> 00:40:56,868
I had taken Six's cloak beforehand,

695
00:40:56,868 --> 00:40:59,288
and I wore it myself to break through the window,

696
00:40:59,288 --> 00:41:01,649
attracting the attention of all the Guardians

697
00:41:01,649 --> 00:41:03,168
and people
from the Bureau of Astronomy present.

698
00:41:03,168 --> 00:41:07,589
Only then could Six spend the whole night safe.

699
00:41:08,129 --> 00:41:11,668
Is it true? Six.

700
00:41:15,568 --> 00:41:18,529
Yes, I suppose.

701
00:41:20,948 --> 00:41:23,728
<i>It seems that Six is discerning.</i>

702
00:41:23,728 --> 00:41:24,808
<i>I can get along with him.</i>

703
00:41:24,808 --> 00:41:26,029
Impressive.

704
00:41:26,029 --> 00:41:28,229
Three used a clever trick.

705
00:41:28,229 --> 00:41:31,769
Three. Supongo. Then how did you evade the search?

706
00:41:32,388 --> 00:41:37,076
To be honest, I am still in dire straits.

707
00:41:37,076 --> 00:41:40,869
They've searched all night long, yet still haven't given up the hunt for me.

708
00:41:40,869 --> 00:41:44,208
Do you still have the magic tool
to shield your aura?

709
00:41:44,208 --> 00:41:48,468
I only have one academy's robe, and I gave it to Six.

710
00:41:49,248 --> 00:41:53,068
Now I can only wait for the murderous aura to dissipate.

711
00:41:53,068 --> 00:41:56,088
If I got caught before that, please rest assured.

712
00:41:56,088 --> 00:41:59,649
I will definitely not betray Six and you guys.

713
00:41:59,649 --> 00:42:02,880
Three. For Six,

714
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,328
- you…
- I could die for my bosom friend.

715
00:42:05,328 --> 00:42:09,709
What Six said  was touching and enlightening.

716
00:42:09,709 --> 00:42:13,009
A righteous person like Six should not be caught,

717
00:42:13,009 --> 00:42:17,328
nor tortured by those Guardians.

718
00:42:17,328 --> 00:42:21,928
As a comrade of Six, I should bear all these.

719
00:42:21,928 --> 00:42:24,949
Rest assured. Even if I die...

720
00:42:24,949 --> 00:42:28,189
I will have no regrets.

721
