=Episode 21=

I've told Lingbo.

I'll call off the engagement when back.

That's so sudden.

Lingbo, she...

It's not her fault.

Just mine.

Zhao.

I...

I'm drunk and free with the breeze.

Xingjia.

What are you up to?

Isn't the sacrificial rite in two days?

I'm preparing some offerings.

Three vegetarian fruits and three vegetarian pastries.

Six varieties in total.

Oh, right.

The cemetery is cold.

Remember to wear more.

(Chang Cemetery)

Zhao.

Zhao, you also think the Jade Sunflower

is hidden within the Chang Cemetery?

You and I

truly share the same thoughts.

Zhao.

Yuzhi, why are you here too?

I told you

I'd look out for you from now on.

Zhao has me. That's enough.

No need for Song to trouble yourself.

The letter I sent you,

you showed it to him as well?

Zhao is here to help me

find the Jade Sunflower.

May I ask why

Mr. Mu is here?

Where Zhao goes, I go.

What Zhao does,

I do.

Both of you, leave now.

Since you're done arguing,

stay and talk sense.

Mu Qingyan,

why did you suspect

the Jade Sunflower

was hidden in the Chang Cemetery?

Nie Zhe's men

searched every corner of the Chang Fort,

yet they didn't find it.

After thinking it over,

it seemed only the cemetery

was the one place they might have overlooked.

So I got some brothers who're good at digging graves.

Mr. Mu's brilliant idea

is to dig up graves?

If we don't dig,

does Song have a better plan?

Enough.

Over a decade ago,

my Dad brought me here.

You two

joined Chang in ancestor worship.

How did you both get sunburned?

But I've been here twice

and didn't find any

sunny spots.

Could the problem be with this stone pillar?

Then let's just topple it.

I'll call someone now.

Wait.

Don't call anyone yet.

Does Zhao want to stay here

searching with me forever?

Mr. Mu,

please mind your manners.

Let's get down to business.

So the mirror surface is what gave me sunburn.

The back mountain is shaded.

Sunlight's scarce.

Logically,

it shouldn't burn anyone.

But with this bronze mirror,

the faint sunlight

can be concentrated several times

and reflected to the other side.

But the stone pillar sank down.

So both times,

I avoided being burned.

Wu'an Mountain is made of hard granite,

with dense forests.

Its foundation should be firm.

It can't just sink for no reason.

Unless...

The ground below was hollowed.

Do you remember

the Shi brothers, my aunt's good friends?

The second Shi brother was struck by Nether Aura.

But your aunt cured him later.

That's why

you're looking for the Jade Sunflower for him.

Are the Shi brothers

tomb raiders by trade?

The Shi brothers

gave my aunt some family heirlooms before.

As a child, I'd flip through them out of boredom.

Inside, it was all records of

the skills and methods for building subterranean tombs.

Don't think constructing a subterranean tomb is easy.

You must guard against water seepage.

And against rats, insects, snakes, and ants.

After sealing the entrance,

you must leave no trace behind.

There are so many tricks to it.

South is Li. North is Kan.

Kan is one. Qian is six.

Kun, in the southwest, commands the yin.

Align with the cycles of life and death.

The entrance is right here.

- Alright. - Alright.

- Miss Cai decides. - Zhao leads.

Miss Cai.

Does this wall have

any meaning in tomb lore?

It's the Turnback Wall.

A signature skill of the Shi brothers.

The mechanism should be nearby.

Do we need a key?

You actually have one?

There's no keyhole.

Lock latch?

Where'd that come from?

Mr. Chang left it to me.

Back then, Jiang Ning changed his tone.

Only after seeing this.

Uncle Chang truly trusts you.

Light the lamps first.

(Memorial tablet of Lu Chengnan from the Li Sect)

Lu Chengnan is really dead.

This looks like my aunt's handwriting.

Sun rises. Moon sets.

You've always walked alone.

Both bold and noble.

Lofty mountains and flowing rivers.

Lord, as you depart.

May your journey be free of obstacles.

This tomb was built by the Shi brothers.

It bears my aunt's own handwriting.

Could Lu Chengnan

really be a skin-painted demon?

Though he was from the Li Sect,

he received such honor.

Could

he have been a righteous man?

Let's find

the Jade Sunflower first.

Could it be

in this stone coffin?

Wait.

Elder.

Sorry to interrupt.

Not inside.

Sternum shattered,

surrounding bones cracked.

Even the underarm ribs are broken.

Nie Hengcheng's signature move.

Soulreaving Cloud Palm.

Elder Yan's words were all true.

Nie Hengcheng really killed Lu Chengnan.

What's so mysterious

about the Jade Sunflower?

Nie Hengcheng

killed his favorite disciple for it.

Nie Zhe and the Man in Black

massacred

Uncle Chang's entire family for it.

Once we find the Jade Sunflower,

everything will be clear.

Maybe

we can ask the tomb builders.

But the Shi brothers have retired.

My Master and Father

don't even know

where they are.

Let's get out first and talk.

Don't move.

Otherwise,

they all die.

Nie Zhe.

If you dare harm them,

the Six Sects will hunt you down

to the last person!

Cai Zhao.

We didn't come to

be enemies with the Six Sects.

Just hand over the Jade Sunflower,

and we'll let them go.

What do you think, Mr. Mu?

You seized people from the Six Sects.

What has that to do with me?

They're all kin to the leaders of the Six Sects.

If they die,

Six Sects and Li Sect are going to war.

By then,

can you still hold onto

your position as Young Master?

So what?

Fine, fine.

Wait!

Hand it over.

Hand it over!

Here, take it.

Strategist!

My face! My face!

Someone! Hurry!

Get the strategist out first!

Hurry!

The softening powder's effects are gone now.

Stay hydrated for the next two days.

I won't drink!

Teaming up with Mu Qingyan this time

was indeed my own decision.

But Nie Zhe is lurking nearby,

and if we don't draw him out now,

no one knows when he'll surface again.

That softening powder everyone got.

Master You tested its effects beforehand.

I kept this from everyone,

because Nie Zhe's spies are near the inn.

You could have hidden it from us,

so why tell Cai Zhao?

Lingbo,

I only found out

right before you arrived.

Yuzhi,

when did you arrange this with Mu Qingyan?

Since Nie Zhe is so fixated on the Jade Sunflower,

why not use this chance to lure him out?

I'm sure you feel the same.

Nie Zhe is cunning and suspicious.

If we want to force him to show himself,

we'll need to offer him something tempting.

Didn't expect you two guys

have little secrets.

Cai Zhao.

It's bad enough you're tangled up with Mu Qingyan.

Why must you drag Yuzhi into this too?

Me and Mu Qingyan.

How exactly are we tangled up?

Young Lord Zhou isn't here right now, drop the act.

You clearly like Mu Qingyan.

You two were close back when you were in Qingque Sect.

So why would he have followed you all the way to the inn?

Speaking of which,

someone from your Luoying Valley

fraternized with the demon sect before.

Some habits just never change!

Insult me all you want.

But don't you dare insult Luoying Valley.

I'll say it!

Lingbo.

Nie Zhe is the murderer of the Chang clan.

Teaming up with Mu Qingyan

to catch him was a necessary compromise.

Besides, the idea of cooperation came from me.

Zhao's out of it.

Miss Cai.

Young Master requests your presence.

Alright.

No more hiding.

Cai Zhao.

Don't forget

you have a fiancé.

Why does he want me?

Elder Hu has confessed.

He also asks Mr. Song to come.

You Guanyue.

Can't you say it all at once?

Miss Cai.

The Young Master asks you to come.

Elder Hu has confessed.

Mr. Song is also invited.

The mastermind you've been looking for

is one of the Six Sects.

Elder Hu.

That mysterious man moved freely in the Li Sect.

He's clearly one of the Li Sect.

Why spout nonsense

and stir up trouble?

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

But you Six Sects

have done plenty of

self-deceptive things.

You...

Do you also think it's one of the Six Sects?

Earlier, the Six Sects were attacked,

the mysterious man leaked

everyone's whereabouts to Nie Zhe.

Such confidential information.

Besides the Six Sects' leaders,

who else would know?

Besides,

I fought the Man in Black twice.

His skill

is unfathomable,

no ordinary fighter.

I think he's at

Grandmaster level.

Grandmaster level.

Only the Six Sects' leaders

reach this rank.

My Master

is already the Lord of the Six Sects.

Why would he ally with Nie Zhe?

Uncle Zhou's detached from fame,

devoted to crafting weapons.

No motive for this.

The Taichu Temple just changed leadership.

As for Yang Heying of the Siqi Sect,

he can't even beat me.

And Lord Song.

While it's plausible

my father'd vie for Lord of the Six Sects,

colluding with the demon sect

for ulterior motives?

That's absolutely impossible.

Exactly. Lord Song's pragmatic.

For gains he can't see or touch,

he wouldn't waste a single effort.

Mr. Mu,

you're not suspecting Mr. Cai, are you?

Who the Man in Black is?

Once we capture Nie Zhe alive,

we'll know.

Zhao,

as long as we find the Jade Sunflower,

he'll show himself.

The Six Sects' leaders can't be traitors.

Even if secrets were leaked,

it would only mean Nie Zhe has a spy in the sects.

Zhao.

This is critical.

We must return to the sect at once.

And report to Master.

Once we've honored Mr. Chang tomorrow,

we'll set out back home.

Zhao also thinks

the mastermind is from the Six Sects?

Not Master or the others, but...

But you still have doubts.

You think it might be someone from the sects.

Wasn't Mr. Wu

killed by Qiu Yuanfeng?

Qiu Yuanfeng

was a former sect leader.

Sometimes good and evil hinge on a single thought.

Whatever that figure is plotting,

it's mostly

tied to the Six Sects.

Mr. Wu's case was an accident.

Good and evil may be a thought apart,

but the mastermind has planned

for over ten years.

This isn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Besides,

Hu Fengge is a demon sect elder.

How credible is her testimony?

Maybe her capture was a deliberate

divide-and-conquer tactic.

Since the key is the Jade Sunflower,

then let's find it.

Maybe then the truth will come to light.

Besides, Yuzhi,

you need it to dispel the cold.

I can do without the Jade Sunflower.

I'll just train harder from now on.

Zhao,

Mu Qingyan's identity is common knowledge.

No one can cover for us this time.

Once we take this step,

there's no turning back.

I know.

I'm at fault this time.

I was too eager to catch ringleader Nie Zhe,

so I chose to work with Mu Qingyan.

I not only put us in disrepute,

but also endangered Lingbo and the others.

Don't mind

what Lingbo said earlier.

She's mad at me.

Lingbo.

Why are you here alone?

Lingbo.

What's wrong with you?

Yuzhi was reckless this time.

But I don't think

Cai Zhao knew about it.

He's calling off the engagement.

Yuzhi's calling off the engagement?

When?

Yesterday.

When we went to find him.

Yuzhi, he...

Lingbo.

What

do you truly think?

I don't know.

I grew up thinking I'd marry Yuzhi.

Now the engagement's off.

I don't know what to do.

Even with the engagement off,

you're still you.

You'll meet someone

who truly likes you someday.

Fengchi.

Zhao.

Let me be alone.

Zhao.

Xinrou's health hasn't recovered yet.

Why did she come over?

Have a seat.

Thank you for the medicine, Zhao.

I'm too weak.

I've made everyone worry.

This softening powder

is truly potent.

You have no inner power.

So it should take ten to fifteen days

for you to recover.

Xinrou,

why can't you stop coughing?

Drink some water.

If you knew you'd use softening powder,

you should've at least told us beforehand.

Not everyone can endure that stuff.

Zhao,

after tomorrow's memorial,

I'll send Xinrou back to Peiqiong Manor.

As for the wedding date...

What was that sound?

Most likely that stray cat again.

That stray cat again?

That stray cat is truly a nuisance.

I'll go have a look.

I'll go deal with that stray cat.

Zhao, you're so thoughtful.

She's a true heroine.

Unlike me,

so useless.

Why did you call me out here?

Spit it out.

If it's nothing important, I'm leaving.

The matter between us,

isn't that important too?

Come with me to find the Shi brothers.

Once we find the Shi brothers,

we might learn where the Jade Sunflower is.

I'm not going.

The Man in Black is too important.

When I get back,

I'll report everything to Master.

What to do next

will be decided by Master and others.

Looks like

your Master doesn't tell you everything.

Don't you want to know

if Lu Chengnan was

your aunt's beloved?

Or...

the skin-painted demon?

How did you find out?

I've long suspected your aunt loved another.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Lord Zhou marry another.

If such a person truly exists,

with your aunt's upright nature,

she'd never let him hide till death.

Unless,

he's just like me,

a member of the Li Sect.

Why did your Master

call me

a skin-painted demon for no reason?

It must be because there was once

a skin-painted demon

from the Li Sect.

You're sharp.

My aunt did have a beloved.

But that person isn't Lu Chengnan.

Yet the couplet found in the ancient tomb

was indeed written in her handwriting.

That couplet

doesn't read like it was meant for a lover,

but rather for someone...

More like for a hero

she admired,

revered,

and respected.

Yes.

But if Lu Chengnan

wasn't the one your aunt loved,

then who

stole the Jade Sunflower to heal the Shi brothers?

So

there's someone else

in the demon sect guiding your aunt.

That person

is the true skin-painted demon.

Zhao.

Come with me

to find the Shi brothers.

Only they

hold the answers to all of this.

But the Shi brothers have lived in seclusion for years,

how long will it take to find them?

Don't tell me you want me to ditch the wedding.

Since you refuse to call off the engagement,

what's wrong

with running?

I told you.

Luoying Valley keeps its word.

Breaking a promise is absolutely unthinkable.

Besides, this marriage was arranged by my aunt.

I can afford to lose face,

but she can't.

So what?

Forget it.

I won't trouble you, Mr. Mu.

If you still value our past friendship,

tell me if you find out

who it is later.

If not, it's fine.

I'll find out myself someday.

Aunt, these persimmon cakes are delicious.

Let's buy more next time.

These delicious persimmon cakes

were sent by Aunt's good friends.

But whether we'll receive more

will depend on our luck.

Speaking of which,

it's been a long while since I last saw them.

When I grow up,

I'll visit them on your behalf.

They've already retreated to

a place far, far away.

I fear you won't get to see them.

Elder Hu has been sent back to the Li Sect.

With your order, Mr. Mu,

we can mobilize 100,000 sect members.

And Nie Zhe will surely be found.

Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu.

Well, Shangguan,

can't you use your head?

Is now the time to talk about Nie Zhe?

If not capturing Nie Zhe,

what then?

If we don't think of a plan soon,

she'll be wed off.

Mr. Mu, rest assured,

I'll make sure

Miss Cai's wedding falls through.

Since Luoying Valley can't break their promise,

what about Peiqiong Manor?

Mr. Mu, please take a look.

This is the most beautiful courtesan in Wu'an Town.

I'll hire her with heavy gold

to set a trap for Zhou Yuqi.

You call this beauty?

She's not even one-tenth as pretty as Zhao.

If Zhou Yuqi isn't blind,

how could he leave Zhao for her?

You're right, Mr. Mu.

Miss Cai is a rare beauty.

Of course, no one compares to her.

But

with my Seduction Powder,

Zhou Yuqi will definitely submit.

Mr. Mu, don't heed Master You's foolish idea.

If we drug him into losing his chastity,

with Miss Cai's personality,

she won't be angry.

Instead, she'll think

he's framed

and pity him.

It's a terrible plan, not worth it at all.

You have a better plan?

Go on, let's hear it.

Cut the mess clean and quick.

Handle it directly.

So that's your brilliant idea?

If Miss Cai found out,

she'll stab Mr. Mu right away.

You call my idea terrible?

Yours is worse than swill!

Alright.

For marriage,

winning the heart comes first.

Pack up after the ceremony.

Leave for Qingque Sect tomorrow morning.

Miss Cai.

Shangguan Haonan.

The Young Master asks to talk to you in the side room.

Nothing to talk about.

The Young Master mentioned the persimmon cakes...

Then I'll go talk.

I'll go with you.

Mr. Song.

The Young Master only invited Miss Cai.

I must go.

Then I'll have to intrude as well.

It's all right, Yuzhi.

I can go alone.

Don't worry.

Yeah.

I hid the persimmon cakes from the tomb.

Because I thought...

You thought that persimmon cake with six corners

was extremely rare.

Just now,

why didn't you come over?

Right and wrong must be kept apart.

Besides, I'm already engaged.

Of course, I should avoid suspicion.

You're about to leave.

Shouldn't you

come and say goodbye to me?

Not even a farewell drink?

You came just to say farewell?

Absolutely not.

I said

I'd pester you forever.

Never let go.

You want to marry someone else?

Over my dead body.

Madman.

Wu'an Town has nice mountain goods.

Buy some

to take back tomorrow.

Let's go check over there.

Go!

You shameless woman.

You've been married to me for over ten years.

Yet you still pine for that man?

Since your heart still holds that Yuan guy,

why did you marry me in the first place?

You let me live for all these years as

a man deceived and mocked!

Look at this for yourself.

What nonsense have you written here?

(Cousin) I'm going to settle this with him now!

Don't! I do like him,

but I married you

because of my parents' orders.

I'm sorry.

I'll endure your blows and scolding.

Get out!

Get the hell out!

Pei Zhisong.

You heartless man!

You sneaking seducer.

You lecherous scumbag!

Adulterers!

Such disgrace.

This is immoral.

It is against all decorum.

Back then, I was too timid.

I didn't break off the engagement.

And made you suffer so greatly.

If I'd known this would happen,

I never would've done it!

How embarrassing!

Xinrou!

Xinrou!

How can she be so unchaste?

Xinrou!

Yuqi.

Xinrou, don't worry.

I will have Mother find you a good marriage.

I will not marry!

I will marry no one.

I only ask that you don't drive me away.

I know.

After you marry Miss Cai,

the Zhou clan won't have a place for me.

When that day comes,

I'll become a nun!

How could there not be?

As long as you're willing,

the Zhou clan will always have a spot for you.

Yuqi,

by then,

you'll be powerless too.

Don't worry about me.

I'd rather live a Life of Monastic Devotion,

and for you and Miss Cai,

pray for blessings all my life.

Xinrou.

Yuqi.

Falling petals yearn.

But the stream flows on.

Yuqi, please stop trying to persuade me.

My heart is as calm as still water.

Xinrou.

Xinrou!

Ding.

Fan.

Young Lord Zhou.

I've been talking to you all this time.

Just to make one thing clear.

Since ancient times,

those who want it all,

who play both sides

never end well.

Miss Min has no title,

yet staying at the Zhou clan.

It's really inappropriate, don't you think?

No way.

I can't abandon Xinrou.

Why can't you understand?

Why won't you listen?

Young Lord Zhou.

Let me speak plainly before anything else.

Zhao belongs to all of us.

If she suffers any grievance after marriage,

or if someone dares to mistreat her,

we'll have no choice but to fight.

Let's go.

(Fortune-telling)

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master, please wait.

Sir, what is it?

Looking at your face,

your love line's dim,

so relationships might be rough.

And your forehead is dark,

which points to pent-up worries.

Why not

tell me about it?

I can help untangle your worries.

Young Master Zhou.
