(My Journey to You)

2
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:29,050
(Episode 3)

3
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:41,710
Miss Yun Weishan.

4
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:43,670
Please turn your face around.

5
00:01:56,830 --> 00:01:57,990
You said it's contagious.

6
00:01:58,580 --> 00:01:59,990
Then why is Miss Yun Weishan

7
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:01,390
staying in your room

8
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:03,039
instead of her own room?

9
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:07,490
Why is she in my room?

10
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:08,830
Yeah.

11
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,880
I'm asking you.

12
00:02:12,370 --> 00:02:13,370
You need to ask?

13
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:14,390
What do you mean?

14
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,180
Don't you know that my family has practiced medicine for generations?

15
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:19,800
Our Ziyun Detoxifying Cream

16
00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:21,460
is always in short supply.

17
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:25,220
Miss Yun Weishan.

18
00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:26,590
Please lift the quilt

19
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:28,110
and let me take a look.

20
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:35,380
How audacious you are!

21
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:37,200
You broke into my bedroom

22
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:38,829
and now want her to lift the quilt.

23
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:41,260
Do you know who we'll be in the future?

24
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:42,990
Forgive me.

25
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:56,550
Are you done?

26
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,920
We didn't marry into the Gong family to be humiliated by you guys!

27
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:03,010
Just wait and see.

28
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,700
Your limbs will be cut off and your eyes will be gouged out.

29
00:03:07,150 --> 00:03:08,150
Apologies for the disrespect.

30
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:10,400
Please have a good rest inside.

31
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:12,860
Don't go out

32
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:14,340
until further notice.

33
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:37,860
You're in the clear.

34
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:53,970
(Council of Elders of the Gong family)

35
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:12,670
Elders, good evening.

36
00:04:13,329 --> 00:04:14,640
In an attack from our enemy,

37
00:04:15,709 --> 00:04:18,470
the Sword Wielder and Young Lord Huanyu both died.

38
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:23,840
According to the rules of the Gong family,

39
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:26,050
the Council of Elders decided

40
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,470
to start Absent Inheritance instantly.

41
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,270
The successor,

42
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:33,560
Gong Ziyu, the second son of the Yu Lineage,

43
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:35,310
is appointed the Sword Wielder,

44
00:04:35,409 --> 00:04:36,620
effective immediately.

45
00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:40,790
Drink it.

46
00:05:41,230 --> 00:05:42,250
If you delay any longer,

47
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,210
it'll leave a scar on your face.

48
00:06:06,810 --> 00:06:07,930
Dark is the sky. Yellow is the earth.

49
00:06:09,750 --> 00:06:10,780
Lurking around are devils and demons.

50
00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:15,700
Are you a Chi too?

51
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:20,170
I'm a Mei.

52
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,040
Ziyu.

53
00:06:46,690 --> 00:06:47,710
Drink it.

54
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:57,650
Drunk Blood.

55
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:00,670
An anesthetic.

56
00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:32,180
Wait.

57
00:07:42,850 --> 00:07:43,850
Ziyu.

58
00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:47,330
Maybe you don't know

59
00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:50,800
what it means to get this tattoo,

60
00:07:52,860 --> 00:07:54,780
and what you'll be faced with.

61
00:07:56,290 --> 00:07:57,630
Listen carefully.

62
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:00,260
After the script is tattooed,

63
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:04,450
you'll be bound to Jiuchen Valley for life

64
00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:08,360
and have to stay here until you die.

65
00:08:10,050 --> 00:08:11,140
You'll live for the Gong family

66
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:14,580
and die for the Gong family.

67
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:36,789
Dad. Let me scrub your back.

68
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,100
Okay.

69
00:08:39,710 --> 00:08:40,710
Dad.

70
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,820
Why are there words on your back?

71
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:44,820
That's the duty

72
00:08:44,830 --> 00:08:47,640
I need to fulfill as the Sword Wielder of the Gong family.

73
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:49,150
Understand?

74
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,630
Notify every post that we have

75
00:09:27,140 --> 00:09:29,620
a new Sword Wielder now.

76
00:09:30,810 --> 00:09:31,890
Let it be known far and wide.

77
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:33,620
Yes.

78
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:39,790
(Memorial Tablet of Gong Hongyu, Lord of the Gong family)

79
00:09:39,790 --> 00:09:43,510
(Memorial Tablet of Gong Huanyu, Young Lord of the Gong family)

80
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:58,550
All the legitimate heirs of the Gong family have been taking the Herb Elixir you made.

81
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:00,200
They should be immune to all poisons.

82
00:10:00,590 --> 00:10:01,930
Why were my father and brother poisoned?

83
00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:03,700
What has the Zhi Lineage done?

84
00:10:03,730 --> 00:10:04,730
Ziyu.

85
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:06,110
Stop!

86
00:10:06,260 --> 00:10:07,260
Yuanzhi.

87
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,540
You can't be rude to the Sword Wielder.

88
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,100
The Sword Wielder?

89
00:10:13,950 --> 00:10:14,850
Him?

90
00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:15,860
Yuanzhi!

91
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:17,310
Ridiculous.

92
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:20,110
Gong Ziyu doesn't deserve to be the Sword Wielder.

93
00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:22,350
The next in line for that position

94
00:10:22,810 --> 00:10:23,700
should be my brother,

95
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:24,710
Gong Shangjue!

96
00:10:24,930 --> 00:10:27,950
The first Sword Wielder of the Gong family set two rules.

97
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:29,620
First,

98
00:10:29,730 --> 00:10:31,370
the Gong family must always have a Sword Wielder.

99
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:33,470
Once the Sword Wielder dies,

100
00:10:33,660 --> 00:10:35,110
his successor will take his place immediately.

101
00:10:35,710 --> 00:10:36,510
Second,

102
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:39,270
if the Sword Wielder and his successor die together,

103
00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:42,460
Absent Inheritance will be initiated.

104
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:45,100
Gong Shangjue is not in Jiuchen Valley.

105
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:46,960
According to the rules,

106
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,040
Gong Ziyu is the only one who's qualifies

107
00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:50,830
to be the Sword Wielder.

108
00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:52,110
But Gong Ziyu is...

109
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:53,110
Enough!

110
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:57,310
Any objections

111
00:10:57,580 --> 00:10:58,850
shall be dealt with after Shangjue returns.

112
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,470
Dad. Can you teach me how to write my name?

113
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:16,510
Sure.

114
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:17,260
Give me your hand.

115
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:32,750
Keep going!

116
00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:51,710
Will you think of me sometimes?

117
00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:56,760
(Memorial Tablet of Yang, Beloved Wife and Mother)

118
00:12:58,930 --> 00:12:59,930
Brother.

119
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:04,720
Will you and Dad leave me too?

120
00:13:05,850 --> 00:13:06,850
No.

121
00:13:08,390 --> 00:13:09,780
I'll always be with you.

122
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,100
Young Master Ziyu.

123
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:42,230
Drunk as a skunk again.

124
00:13:42,410 --> 00:13:43,110
Get in.

125
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:03,220
Go back

126
00:14:03,450 --> 00:14:04,450
and reflect in your room.

127
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:07,930
If you keep being a useless good-for-nothing,

128
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,950
you don't have to stay in the Gong family anymore.

129
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:11,140
It's not like I want to stay here!

130
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:11,980
You...

131
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:13,390
Ziyu, where are you going?

132
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,630
Don't stop him. Let him go!

133
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:17,110
He'd better get as far away as he can

134
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:18,210
and never come back!

135
00:14:34,670 --> 00:14:36,120
(Feng)

136
00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:39,990
The Sword Wielder of the Gong family was killed?

137
00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:41,580
Are you sure?

138
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Yes.

139
00:14:44,210 --> 00:14:45,210
I've confirmed it.

140
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Our assassins did it?

141
00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:48,010
I'm not sure.

142
00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:49,420
But

143
00:14:49,460 --> 00:14:51,120
I don't think the assassins we sent out

144
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,160
are capable enough to take him down in such a short time.

145
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Besides,

146
00:14:58,270 --> 00:14:59,590
the mission we gave them

147
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:01,500
is not to kill the Sword Wielder.

148
00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:04,460
Maybe they got exposed

149
00:15:04,490 --> 00:15:05,620
and had no choice but to kill him.

150
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:07,470
I got word

151
00:15:07,690 --> 00:15:08,950
that Miss Zheng Nanyi's cover was blown.

152
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,590
Gong Shangjue is headed to the Zheng family of Hunyuan

153
00:15:11,850 --> 00:15:12,850
to look into it.

154
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,040
Have you taken care of it?

155
00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:16,440
Rest assured.

156
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,440
It's all done.

157
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:20,620
No trace

158
00:15:21,090 --> 00:15:22,090
is left behind.

159
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:24,820
Good.

160
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:26,250
The remaining Chis and Meis

161
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,740
must've made it into the Gong family.

162
00:15:30,070 --> 00:15:33,000
Let's look forward to their performance.

163
00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:41,130
(Zheng Family of Hunyuan)

164
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:43,850
Young Master Shangjue.

165
00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:45,200
The entire mansion is empty.

166
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,810
All the valuables are gone.

167
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:11,870
Did you stay here all night

168
00:16:12,890 --> 00:16:14,290
or come early in the morning?

169
00:16:17,570 --> 00:16:19,100
You're already the Sword Wielder.

170
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,530
There are a lot of things you need to do.

171
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:26,150
You can't fall apart.

172
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,370
I never wanted to be the Sword Wielder.

173
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:33,490
- But... - But...

174
00:16:42,590 --> 00:16:44,250
Now that I'm already the Sword Wielder,

175
00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:48,000
I can do whatever I want.

176
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,300
No one can stop me.

177
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:53,790
What are you going to do?

178
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:58,590
Who found

179
00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:00,140
my father and brother's bodies?

180
00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:03,089
Lady Wuji.

181
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:08,280
Let's go.

182
00:17:08,290 --> 00:17:09,290
I need to meet her.

183
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:19,440
Your father asked me

184
00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:21,780
to give this to you.

185
00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:27,330
Last month, he got a fine red fox pelt

186
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,200
and made a robe for your brother.

187
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:32,800
Then he used the remnant

188
00:17:33,810 --> 00:17:35,340
to make this for you.

189
00:17:41,610 --> 00:17:44,130
He said you like such exquisite things.

190
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,680
He was too shy to give it to you himself

191
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:49,540
so he asked me to do it.

192
00:17:57,050 --> 00:17:59,190
Your father's bark was worse than his bite.

193
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:02,030
Actually,

194
00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:05,040
he regretted being so harsh to you

195
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:08,110
because of the female assassin

196
00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:10,790
but was too embarrassed to apologize to you.

197
00:18:14,020 --> 00:18:15,020
Don't blame him.

198
00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:17,510
Lady Wuji.

199
00:18:22,030 --> 00:18:23,180
Can you tell me

200
00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:27,580
what happened that night?

201
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:31,910
That night,

202
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:35,410
I was in your father's study

203
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:37,700
brewing tea for him.

204
00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:40,340
Young Lord Huanyu

205
00:18:40,650 --> 00:18:42,580
suddenly came in with a woman

206
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:43,950
whose hands were tied.

207
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:46,220
I got up and left.

208
00:18:53,370 --> 00:18:54,430
I went to the kitchen

209
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:56,340
to make supper for them.

210
00:18:57,070 --> 00:18:58,180
After it was finished,

211
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,390
I returned to the yard

212
00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:03,010
and heard a fierce fight.

213
00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:05,340
Through the window,

214
00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:08,530
I saw three people fighting.

215
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,320
After a few loud thuds,

216
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,150
the room went dark.

217
00:19:14,030 --> 00:19:15,030
Then

218
00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:16,170
it became quiet.

219
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:18,190
Lady Wuji.

220
00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:19,820
Why didn't you call the guards?

221
00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:20,970
I did.

222
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:22,800
But at that time,

223
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:24,960
there was no guard on duty in the yard.

224
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:26,930
That was strange.

225
00:19:27,820 --> 00:19:29,780
The guardians should always be around to protect the Sword Wielder.

226
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,330
Seeing the candles go out

227
00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:35,670
and the room plunged into darkness,

228
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,120
I rushed over immediately

229
00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:39,790
and opened the door of the study.

230
00:19:43,310 --> 00:19:44,310
I found the Sword Wielder,

231
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:46,580
Huanyu,

232
00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:49,740
and that woman lying dead on the floor.

233
00:19:58,550 --> 00:19:59,870
I met that female assassin once.

234
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,760
She wasn't skilled enough at martial arts

235
00:20:04,090 --> 00:20:06,900
to kill both my father and brother.

236
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,960
I don't believe it.

237
00:20:09,130 --> 00:20:10,790
But she used poison.

238
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:15,030
Maybe she managed it

239
00:20:15,870 --> 00:20:16,950
by catching them with their guard down.

240
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:31,870
Lady Wuji, we shall leave.

241
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:35,700
Let's go

242
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:36,870
meet those two guardians.

243
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:48,610
That night, the Sword Wielder met Young Master Shangjue first.

244
00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:50,240
Then Young Lord Huanyu suddenly came

245
00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:51,790
and asked to see the Sword Wielder.

246
00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:53,440
After the three of them talked for a while,

247
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,760
Young Master Shangjue left in a hurry.

248
00:20:55,790 --> 00:20:57,620
Young Master Shangjue left Jiuchen Valley in the night.

249
00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:59,190
The wedding is coming soon.

250
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:01,230
Why is he still going out?

251
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:02,910
Who do you mean?

252
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:04,430
Young Master Shangjue.

253
00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:07,270
Young Lord Huanyu went to the prison to interrogate the female assassin

254
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:08,700
and brought her to the Sword Wielder.

255
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:11,730
He ordered me and the Green Jade Guardian to leave.

256
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:14,640
Young Lord Huanyu said he needed to discuss something important with the Sword Wielder

257
00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:17,120
and asked me and Jin Yu to leave.

258
00:21:21,210 --> 00:21:23,060
Do you think they were lying?

259
00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:25,290
Then let's meet someone who doesn't lie.

260
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:29,540
The dead don't lie.

261
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:39,500
Be careful.

262
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:41,220
The hairpin may be poisonous.

263
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:43,910
Something was wrong

264
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:45,550
with the Herb Elixir your father and brother took.

265
00:21:46,370 --> 00:21:48,600
The Herb Elixir you take may not be safe either.

266
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,910
The gem on the hairpin is hollow.

267
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:12,220
The poison

268
00:22:12,690 --> 00:22:14,040
was hidden in the gem.

269
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,400
The fingers of Father's right hand are purple.

270
00:22:23,870 --> 00:22:25,840
It's obviously caused by poison.

271
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:29,070
But

272
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,520
how did my father and brother

273
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:32,770
come into contact with the poison?

274
00:22:33,550 --> 00:22:36,110
Maybe something was hidden in the secret groove of the hairpin

275
00:22:36,970 --> 00:22:38,540
and taken out by them.

276
00:22:39,980 --> 00:22:41,890
Perhaps, during that process,

277
00:22:42,290 --> 00:22:43,910
they were exposed to the deadly poison.

278
00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:46,150
Secret groove?

279
00:22:47,150 --> 00:22:48,150
Did you find anything in it?

280
00:22:49,420 --> 00:22:50,750
It was empty when I found it.

281
00:22:52,130 --> 00:22:53,130
Maybe

282
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:55,660
Young Master Shangjue took away whatever was inside.

283
00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:07,310
There is a burn on the female assassin's skin

284
00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:08,680
which was left by poison.

285
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:09,820
But it didn't cause her death.

286
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,760
The cut that pierced through her chest

287
00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:19,050
killed her.

288
00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:22,750
How did she get on the bride list?

289
00:23:23,540 --> 00:23:25,070
She was the second daughter of the Zheng family of Hunyuan,

290
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:26,370
Zheng Nanyi.

291
00:23:27,580 --> 00:23:29,760
But we don't know if that identity

292
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:31,590
is true.

293
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:35,110
After the accident happened,

294
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:36,630
did you check the Ladies' Hostel?

295
00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:39,090
I sent guards over in time.

296
00:23:39,390 --> 00:23:40,880
All of them were in the house.

297
00:23:41,150 --> 00:23:42,150
None of them had gone out.

298
00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:43,710
But...

299
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:45,700
two brides were poisoned.

300
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:48,360
Who are they?

301
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:50,890
They're the two brides who got the golden tokens.

302
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:53,240
Jiang Lili and Yun Weishan.

303
00:23:58,990 --> 00:23:59,990
Let's go.

304
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,580
(Feng)

305
00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:52,060
What brought you here at this early hour?

306
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,320
You think too much.

307
00:25:12,370 --> 00:25:13,370
How can I help?

308
00:25:14,130 --> 00:25:15,620
Since we're the same,

309
00:25:16,190 --> 00:25:17,190
I think

310
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,100
I should be clear with you.

311
00:25:20,550 --> 00:25:22,270
Wait. We're not the same.

312
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:24,660
I told you yesterday.

313
00:25:25,010 --> 00:25:27,240
I'm a Mei. I'm superior to you.

314
00:25:28,190 --> 00:25:31,560
In Wufeng, you must listen to your superiors.

315
00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:33,210
You must know that.

316
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,800
I do.

317
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:37,010
I just didn't expect them

318
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:38,990
to plant a Mei

319
00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:40,600
in the Gong family too.

320
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:42,730
Everything comes with a price.

321
00:25:43,470 --> 00:25:45,700
With prices come sacrifices.

322
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:48,960
If Miss Zheng hadn't been exposed,

323
00:25:49,910 --> 00:25:51,130
you would've been the one

324
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:53,070
to be sacrificed.

325
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,840
Was she a Mei too?

326
00:26:00,620 --> 00:26:01,620
She was too stupid

327
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:03,300
to be a Mei.

328
00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:06,350
So in the future,

329
00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:09,410
the two of us will carry out the mission together?

330
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:11,270
Is there anyone else with us?

331
00:26:12,730 --> 00:26:13,970
Crows gather together.

332
00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:16,010
The eagle flies high alone.

333
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,440
There is

334
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:20,690
no "us".

335
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,390
And we won't do anything together.

336
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:27,470
I see.

337
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,290
Wait.

338
00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:35,740
You went out by stealth last night.

339
00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:37,470
What did you find?

340
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:40,480
I saved you.

341
00:26:41,230 --> 00:26:42,630
The least you can do is tell me

342
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:44,520
who's dead.

343
00:26:46,910 --> 00:26:48,340
How did you know someone died?

344
00:26:49,950 --> 00:26:51,840
There are so many white lanterns in the air.

345
00:26:52,550 --> 00:26:55,120
And the servants have been bustling around with candles and funeral items.

346
00:26:55,940 --> 00:26:56,940
I'm not blind.

347
00:26:57,230 --> 00:26:58,300
I can guess.

348
00:27:00,670 --> 00:27:01,790
The Sword Wielder and Young Lord Huanyu

349
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,790
both died.

350
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:10,100
You killed them?

351
00:27:29,270 --> 00:27:30,270
Physician,

352
00:27:33,590 --> 00:27:35,090
what's the poison that's making her sick?

353
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:36,510
It's complicated.

354
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:38,910
There seems to be more than one kind of poison.

355
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,720
Physician,

356
00:27:51,070 --> 00:27:52,440
is the rash on her face

357
00:27:52,530 --> 00:27:53,920
caused by poison too?

358
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:55,140
Yes.

359
00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:56,290
It's a kind of strong poison

360
00:27:56,770 --> 00:27:57,770
that takes effect very fast.

361
00:27:58,630 --> 00:28:00,240
Miss Jiang is unconscious

362
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:01,700
and keeps slurring.

363
00:28:02,230 --> 00:28:03,230
She might have been affected

364
00:28:03,260 --> 00:28:05,210
by a poison that targets her mind.

365
00:28:06,700 --> 00:28:07,850
Is her life in danger?

366
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,880
I'm not sure of that.

367
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:11,380
The rash on her face will heal

368
00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:14,150
after she takes some detoxifying decoction.

369
00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:17,700
But as to the poison that makes her delirious,

370
00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:19,140
I haven't figured out

371
00:28:19,380 --> 00:28:20,440
how to neutralize it yet.

372
00:28:21,260 --> 00:28:23,220
I have to consult Young Master Yuanzhi later.

373
00:28:26,150 --> 00:28:27,380
Physician, the decoction is ready.

374
00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:29,460
- Send it over. - Yes.

375
00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:30,800
Physician.

376
00:28:30,850 --> 00:28:32,220
- That decoction... - Well,

377
00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:33,790
it's for Miss Yun Weishan,

378
00:28:33,790 --> 00:28:36,030
the girl who also got a golden token.

379
00:28:36,430 --> 00:28:38,550
She has the same rash on her face too.

380
00:28:41,490 --> 00:28:43,020
I didn't kill them.

381
00:28:46,390 --> 00:28:48,460
My mission is not to kill the Sword Wielder.

382
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:50,260
Then what's your mission?

383
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,670
I don't think

384
00:28:54,820 --> 00:28:56,410
we can talk about that.

385
00:28:57,570 --> 00:28:58,770
We can't.

386
00:28:59,580 --> 00:29:01,010
But I just want to help.

387
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,760
If you act recklessly again

388
00:29:02,850 --> 00:29:04,960
like you did yesterday,

389
00:29:05,740 --> 00:29:06,740
I'll have to

390
00:29:07,210 --> 00:29:09,190
clean up the mess for you.

391
00:29:09,910 --> 00:29:11,750
If I know what your mission is,

392
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:14,540
I may be able to cover for you.

393
00:29:16,590 --> 00:29:17,590
After all,

394
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:19,440
if you're exposed,

395
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:22,320
Miss Zheng Nanyi

396
00:29:22,910 --> 00:29:23,930
would've died for nothing.

397
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,920
Weishan,

398
00:29:32,430 --> 00:29:33,750
I mean no harm.

399
00:29:34,180 --> 00:29:35,180
Don't overthink it.

400
00:29:39,890 --> 00:29:41,340
Do you mind me calling you

401
00:29:41,860 --> 00:29:42,860
Weishan?

402
00:29:44,190 --> 00:29:45,820
You don't feel sorry for Miss Zheng at all.

403
00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:48,610
You're just worried that if I'm exposed,

404
00:29:49,070 --> 00:29:50,440
you can't stay hidden anymore.

405
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,930
The Gong family will realize

406
00:29:54,510 --> 00:29:55,770
that there may be other assassins

407
00:29:56,370 --> 00:29:57,720
besides me.

408
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:00,230
Am I right?

409
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,880
Look.

410
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,820
There is

411
00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:08,130
an "us".

412
00:30:12,430 --> 00:30:13,430
So,

413
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,210
we'd better work together.

414
00:30:18,430 --> 00:30:19,580
I told you.

415
00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:22,010
Our missions are different.

416
00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:25,400
You poisoned Miss Jiang's tea.

417
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:27,620
You want to replace her.

418
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,610
Our missions should be the same.

419
00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:33,570
Didn't Miss Jiang get the rash on her face

420
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,800
from your nail polish?

421
00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:39,980
You saw it?

422
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:41,370
I don't need to.

423
00:30:41,620 --> 00:30:43,480
Isn't that the basic training in Wufeng?

424
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,200
I could've made Miss Jiang a lunatic

425
00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:48,770
without arousing any suspicion.

426
00:30:49,620 --> 00:30:51,250
But you suddenly showed up.

427
00:30:53,470 --> 00:30:55,070
If I'm right,

428
00:30:56,330 --> 00:30:57,440
before long,

429
00:30:58,020 --> 00:30:59,780
I'll have to clean up your mess again.

430
00:31:04,510 --> 00:31:05,510
Physician,

431
00:31:06,090 --> 00:31:07,740
is the poison the two girls suffer from

432
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,110
related to the poison

433
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,440
that killed the Sword Wielder?

434
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:12,580
No.

435
00:31:15,410 --> 00:31:16,410
Thank you, Physician.

436
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:27,160
Since the poison making Miss Jiang sick

437
00:31:27,470 --> 00:31:29,570
is not the one that killed your father and brother,

438
00:31:30,170 --> 00:31:31,660
shall we still go to the Ladies' Hostel?

439
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:35,070
You're already the Sword Wielder

440
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,220
and haven't chosen your bride yet.

441
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,600
It's inappropriate

442
00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:38,990
for you to go there.

443
00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:40,650
A clean hand wants no washing.

444
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:42,230
My hands are very clean.

445
00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:43,180
There's nothing to be afraid of.

446
00:31:43,230 --> 00:31:44,230
You always...

447
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:57,960
The tea I gave Miss Jiang

448
00:31:57,980 --> 00:31:58,980
was not poisoned.

449
00:32:01,310 --> 00:32:02,260
Then it was the incense.

450
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,600
The incense was not poisonous either.

451
00:32:05,150 --> 00:32:08,450
But inhaling the incense after drinking the tea

452
00:32:09,270 --> 00:32:10,270
changed things.

453
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,860
At first, she'd just be delirious.

454
00:32:15,850 --> 00:32:18,770
A few days later, she'd start to mumble to herself

455
00:32:19,780 --> 00:32:20,780
as if she had dementia.

456
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,710
As an assassin of Wufeng,

457
00:32:28,830 --> 00:32:30,190
you shouldn't

458
00:32:30,820 --> 00:32:32,820
have that look on your face.

459
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:35,990
You're so soft-hearted.

460
00:32:36,810 --> 00:32:38,970
It'll cost you your life sooner or later.

461
00:32:42,070 --> 00:32:43,540
I don't hurt innocent people.

462
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:48,080
You're so interesting, Weishan.

463
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,680
Back to my incense and tea.

464
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:55,940
Both of them are harmless when examined separately.

465
00:32:56,890 --> 00:32:58,100
Even if they get suspicious,

466
00:32:59,090 --> 00:33:00,210
they can't find anything.

467
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:02,410
I kindly reminded you

468
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:03,500
that tea

469
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,670
had been tampered with

470
00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:05,670
and you should not drink it,

471
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:08,870
but you tried to be clever and ruined everything.

472
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:10,350
Thanks to you,

473
00:33:10,820 --> 00:33:12,590
both the rash on Miss Jiang's face

474
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:14,630
and your nail polish

475
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,460
have become solid evidence.

476
00:33:18,860 --> 00:33:20,210
If I were you,

477
00:33:21,380 --> 00:33:23,920
I'd wash it off now.

478
00:33:37,530 --> 00:33:38,700
Young Master Yuanzhi, you came to the clinic too.

479
00:33:39,530 --> 00:33:40,530
What are you here for?

480
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:41,700
Sword Wielder.

481
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:49,310
Young Master Yuanzhi.

482
00:33:49,670 --> 00:33:50,670
According to the rules,

483
00:33:51,150 --> 00:33:52,270
you should greet

484
00:33:52,460 --> 00:33:53,460
the Sword Wielder.

485
00:33:54,190 --> 00:33:55,190
Who are you?

486
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,260
How dare you tell me what to do?

487
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:02,470
Jin Fan.

488
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:05,770
He must have a good reason for not greeting me.

489
00:34:06,929 --> 00:34:07,929
Although I don't understand,

490
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,370
I won't force him.

491
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:12,330
The Council of Elders will deal with him.

492
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:19,389
Sword Wielder.

493
00:34:21,429 --> 00:34:22,540
No need for formalities.

494
00:34:24,460 --> 00:34:26,780
You specialize in making poisons and antidotes

495
00:34:27,989 --> 00:34:30,000
and performed autopsies on my father and brother.

496
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:32,290
Did you find anything?

497
00:34:33,850 --> 00:34:35,370
They were killed by Ascension,

498
00:34:35,389 --> 00:34:37,400
a poison invented by the Gong family.

499
00:34:38,170 --> 00:34:40,570
That poison takes effect very quickly. Without timely detox,

500
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,920
death is certain.

501
00:34:42,820 --> 00:34:44,340
So you mean

502
00:34:44,929 --> 00:34:46,250
it can be neutralized.

503
00:34:47,270 --> 00:34:48,270
Yes.

504
00:34:48,370 --> 00:34:49,370
But very hard.

505
00:34:49,790 --> 00:34:50,740
Is it?

506
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:52,550
Since it was invented,

507
00:34:52,580 --> 00:34:54,560
no one taking it has ever been brought back to life.

508
00:34:55,820 --> 00:34:57,540
Ascension is deadly and spreads all over

509
00:34:57,790 --> 00:34:59,570
the victim's body via bloodstream.

510
00:34:59,990 --> 00:35:02,620
The window for detox is very short.

511
00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:05,970
How short?

512
00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:09,860
Within 200 heartbeats.

513
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:14,680
Is it difficult

514
00:35:15,940 --> 00:35:16,940
to obtain such a lethal poison?

515
00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:18,930
Seems that you're

516
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,730
not very familiar with the Gong family's business.

517
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:24,530
Ascension is sold at every post of the Gong family

518
00:35:24,590 --> 00:35:25,590
in and out of Jiuchen Valley.

519
00:35:25,950 --> 00:35:27,130
Anyone can buy it.

520
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,470
So you mean

521
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:31,850
the poison called Ascension

522
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,200
is hard to cure but easy to get.

523
00:35:34,830 --> 00:35:35,830
Young Master Yuanzhi.

524
00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:37,270
Are there precautions

525
00:35:37,470 --> 00:35:38,470
one can take?

526
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:47,300
I don't understand what you mean.

527
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:50,600
Let me put it another way.

528
00:35:51,630 --> 00:35:53,130
Will someone who takes the Herb Elixir every day

529
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:55,330
be affected by it?

530
00:36:02,310 --> 00:36:02,830
No.

531
00:36:02,830 --> 00:36:03,790
My father and brother

532
00:36:03,790 --> 00:36:05,350
took the Herb Elixir every day

533
00:36:05,350 --> 00:36:06,350
but were poisoned.

534
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:08,490
Does that mean I can hold

535
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:10,630
those who make the Herb Elixir accountable?

536
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:16,270
Everyone in the Gong family, from elders to madams,

537
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:19,070
has been taking the Herb Elixir and other tonics

538
00:36:19,070 --> 00:36:20,190
made by the Zhi Lineage for many years.

539
00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:22,070
Nothing had ever gone wrong.

540
00:36:22,990 --> 00:36:24,850
You asked me why I came to the clinic.

541
00:36:25,470 --> 00:36:26,790
I came to check

542
00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:27,950
if there is any problem

543
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:29,150
with the Herb Elixir here.

544
00:36:29,530 --> 00:36:30,840
Is there?

545
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:35,570
No.

546
00:36:35,830 --> 00:36:36,830
We're right back where we started.

547
00:36:38,350 --> 00:36:39,500
Why on earth

548
00:36:40,380 --> 00:36:41,720
were my father and brother poisoned?

549
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:45,280
I'm in charge of making the Herb Elixir,

550
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:48,170
but after sending it to different lineages,

551
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,330
it's served by the servants of your own.

552
00:36:51,430 --> 00:36:52,480
Why don't you

553
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,540
look into the servants of the Yu Lineage?

554
00:36:55,770 --> 00:36:56,930
Maybe you'll be surprised.

555
00:37:04,970 --> 00:37:05,970
Of course I'll look into

556
00:37:07,420 --> 00:37:08,480
the servants of the Yu Lineage.

557
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:11,150
You should do that.

558
00:37:13,630 --> 00:37:14,630
Besides,

559
00:37:14,770 --> 00:37:16,830
you were just appointed the Sword Wielder

560
00:37:17,740 --> 00:37:20,510
and made ungrounded accusations against the Zhi Lineage.

561
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:22,870
How impressive.

562
00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:27,310
I'll find the evidence.

563
00:37:29,060 --> 00:37:30,060
Wait and see.

564
00:37:38,370 --> 00:37:39,730
The Sword Wielder and Young Lord Huanyu

565
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,120
both died,

566
00:37:41,850 --> 00:37:42,850
so

567
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Absent Inheritance must have been initiated.

568
00:37:47,310 --> 00:37:48,310
Absent Inheritance?

569
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,100
Didn't your Raven

570
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:54,140
tell you about that?

571
00:37:56,970 --> 00:37:58,060
I'm just a Chi.

572
00:37:59,450 --> 00:38:00,560
Don't overestimate me.

573
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,760
Your sudden humbleness

574
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:06,990
took me by surprise.

575
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:12,750
Absent Inheritance

576
00:38:12,910 --> 00:38:15,140
is a rule of the Gong family

577
00:38:15,180 --> 00:38:16,550
set to tide it through crises.

578
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,980
Basically,

579
00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:21,620
it makes sure that the Gong family and Jiuchen Valley

580
00:38:22,250 --> 00:38:24,000
always have a leader.

581
00:38:24,910 --> 00:38:27,220
If the Sword Wielder and the Young Lord both die,

582
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:29,510
the next in line of succession

583
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:31,470
in Jiuchen Valley

584
00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:33,790
will become the new Sword Wielder unconditionally.

585
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,000
So

586
00:38:38,130 --> 00:38:39,750
the Sword Wielder now

587
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:42,130
should be Young Master Shangjue,

588
00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:43,630
Gong Shangjue.

589
00:38:45,570 --> 00:38:46,740
The current Sword Wielder

590
00:38:47,990 --> 00:38:49,940
is the younger brother of Young Lord Huanyu,

591
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:51,980
Gong Ziyu.

592
00:38:58,410 --> 00:39:00,400
Gong Shangjue left the Valley last night.

593
00:39:01,470 --> 00:39:02,710
He's not here.

594
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:04,760
So according to the line of succession,

595
00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:08,030
Gong Ziyu took the position of the Sword Wielder.

596
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:12,310
Sure enough.

597
00:39:12,930 --> 00:39:14,500
That's what Absent Inheritance means.

598
00:39:15,350 --> 00:39:17,460
The Gong family is a bunch of stubborn fools.

599
00:39:18,020 --> 00:39:19,050
Pedantic and absurd.

600
00:39:22,670 --> 00:39:23,670
Now that

601
00:39:23,950 --> 00:39:25,750
Gong Ziyu has become the new Sword Wielder,

602
00:39:26,610 --> 00:39:28,230
he'll choose a new bride.

603
00:39:29,530 --> 00:39:30,530
It seems

604
00:39:31,330 --> 00:39:32,720
that he's your new target now.

605
00:39:34,510 --> 00:39:35,920
After losing Gong Huanyu,

606
00:39:36,790 --> 00:39:38,530
you can't lose Gong Ziyu too.

607
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,280
I wish you good luck.

608
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,680
What about you?

609
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,750
Don't you need good luck?

610
00:39:48,580 --> 00:39:50,590
Miss Jiang won't recover any time soon.

611
00:39:51,830 --> 00:39:52,870
Don't you need

612
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:54,510
to get a golden token?

613
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:56,660
Why do I need that?

614
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,800
With a golden token,

615
00:39:59,350 --> 00:40:01,630
whether Gong Ziyu chooses you or me,

616
00:40:03,370 --> 00:40:05,290
our missions will be easier.

617
00:40:07,420 --> 00:40:09,220
I don't need Gong Ziyu to choose me.

618
00:40:10,740 --> 00:40:11,740
Besides,

619
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:14,350
do you think I didn't get a golden token

620
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,370
because I couldn't?

621
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:22,430
Girls, you all need to take a bath tonight.

622
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:23,910
Get up early tomorrow.

623
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:26,070
Don't put on any makeup.

624
00:40:26,310 --> 00:40:27,310
Don't wear perfume.

625
00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:30,520
Be your true selves

626
00:40:30,870 --> 00:40:32,340
and wait to be summoned.

627
00:40:59,310 --> 00:41:00,310
Physician.

628
00:41:00,390 --> 00:41:01,460
Unpleasant body smell.

629
00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:02,770
Low body temperature.

630
00:41:03,140 --> 00:41:04,190
Heavy dampness.

631
00:41:38,850 --> 00:41:40,870
You gave up the golden token yourself?

632
00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:44,180
What else could it be?

633
00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:46,570
Your target is not the Sword Wielder.

634
00:41:50,890 --> 00:41:51,890
My target

635
00:41:52,970 --> 00:41:54,910
is much trickier than the Sword Wielder.

636
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,540
The Zheng family of Hunyuan has moved away.

637
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:27,650
Someone must've tipped them off.

638
00:42:28,310 --> 00:42:29,210
Besides,

639
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:31,080
the matter Young Lord Huanyu asked me to investigate

640
00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:33,080
has not been leaked yet.

641
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:46,820
Send it back

642
00:42:46,910 --> 00:42:47,910
to the Gong Residence as soon as possible.

643
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:49,190
Yes.

644
00:42:49,350 --> 00:42:50,350
Hurry.

645
00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:57,350
Urgent message from the Gong Residence.

646
00:43:09,870 --> 00:43:10,870
Young Master Shangjue.

647
00:43:11,470 --> 00:43:12,470
Read it.

648
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:15,300
Read it.

649
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:16,930
Yes.

650
00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:23,220
Destiny can't be refused.

651
00:43:24,770 --> 00:43:27,410
The lineages need a head.

652
00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:29,470
The Council appointed

653
00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:31,330
Gong...

654
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:33,610
Gong Ziyu

655
00:43:34,590 --> 00:43:35,590
as the new Sword Wielder.

656
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,190
When Gong Huanyu was made the heir,

657
00:43:47,550 --> 00:43:48,550
I thought

658
00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:50,340
it was so unfair

659
00:43:50,510 --> 00:43:51,510
and still think so now.

660
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:53,630
In my mind,

661
00:43:54,550 --> 00:43:58,170
you're the one who should be the Sword Wielder.

662
00:44:00,050 --> 00:44:02,750
Instead of what happened to the Gong family

663
00:44:04,110 --> 00:44:05,530
and how the late Sword Wielder

664
00:44:06,270 --> 00:44:07,480
died,

665
00:44:08,190 --> 00:44:09,410
you're concerned about

666
00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:11,710
who is the new Sword Wielder.

667
00:44:17,490 --> 00:44:18,700
In the future,

668
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,540
don't say anything like that again.

669
00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:24,750
Sorry.

670
00:44:28,750 --> 00:44:30,120
My horse has ran for days

671
00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:31,780
and is exhausted.

672
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,320
Find me the fastest horse here.

673
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:36,100
Yes.

674
00:45:06,660 --> 00:45:08,300
You can see through people.

675
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,890
You're even more capable than I thought.

676
00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:13,150
You flatter me.

677
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,260
I'm a Mei after all.

678
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:18,720
Well,

679
00:45:19,070 --> 00:45:20,940
you're much smarter than I thought too.

680
00:45:22,410 --> 00:45:25,840
I thought you were stupid to carry out an assassination

681
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:28,810
on the first night you arrived

682
00:45:29,070 --> 00:45:30,070
at the Gong Residence.

683
00:45:31,060 --> 00:45:32,180
But now that I think about it,

684
00:45:32,910 --> 00:45:34,350
you didn't act on a whim.

685
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,020
When Gong Ziyu brought us out of the prison,

686
00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:40,310
you memorized the night patrol routes

687
00:45:40,330 --> 00:45:42,060
of the guards in the Gong Residence.

688
00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:44,750
The night before the wedding,

689
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:46,710
all the ladies went to bed early.

690
00:45:47,510 --> 00:45:49,050
No one would disturb them.

691
00:45:49,870 --> 00:45:51,820
It was the perfect time for an assassination.

692
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:55,180
If the Sword Wielder hadn't been killed,

693
00:45:55,690 --> 00:45:57,630
you wouldn't have been discovered.

694
00:45:59,820 --> 00:46:00,820
Besides,

695
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,000
you deliberately ran away from other brides that night

696
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,910
to attract the attention of Gong Ziyu, right?

697
00:46:09,870 --> 00:46:12,410
When he came to the prison for the first time,

698
00:46:13,110 --> 00:46:14,230
all he could see was me.

699
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,540
You pretended to escape

700
00:46:17,990 --> 00:46:18,990
to let him chase after you.

701
00:46:19,790 --> 00:46:22,700
Then, you deliberately took his precious mask

702
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:24,250
to make him come to you again.

703
00:46:25,830 --> 00:46:26,870
You're amazing.

704
00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:31,430
I'm not as calculating as you think.

705
00:46:32,510 --> 00:46:34,780
You think too highly of me, Miss Shangguan.

706
00:46:35,670 --> 00:46:38,570
I just don't want to meet my Raven empty-handed

707
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,680
half a month later.

708
00:46:50,610 --> 00:46:51,650
No one wants that.

709
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,000
No one dares.

710
00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:03,630
Drink this

711
00:47:05,220 --> 00:47:07,040
and you'll be a Chi.

712
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Don't chew.

713
00:47:33,820 --> 00:47:34,850
Swallow them.

714
00:47:44,030 --> 00:47:45,030
What are they?

715
00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:47,340
Eggs.

716
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:53,120
Eggs of Bone-Gnawing Flies.

717
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:55,490
They're also called Fortnight Flies.

718
00:47:57,090 --> 00:47:58,370
The poison made of them

719
00:47:58,900 --> 00:47:59,900
is called Death Oath.

720
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,140
It means to be loyal to Wufeng until death.

721
00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:07,870
It's solely used on assassins of Wufeng.

722
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:10,920
After drinking it,

723
00:48:12,180 --> 00:48:14,120
Bone-Gnawing Flies will live in your body.

724
00:48:15,780 --> 00:48:17,530
Usually, you won't feel them.

725
00:48:18,340 --> 00:48:19,760
But you need to take the antidote

726
00:48:21,820 --> 00:48:23,200
every half a month.

727
00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:28,290
I don't know when I can come back

728
00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:30,460
after entering the Gong Residence.

729
00:48:31,580 --> 00:48:33,700
Shouldn't you give me more antidote

730
00:48:33,820 --> 00:48:34,820
to Death Oath?

731
00:48:38,930 --> 00:48:39,930
Every half a month,

732
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:42,780
someone from Wufeng will meet you

733
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:44,060
in the town in Jiuchen Valley.

734
00:48:44,950 --> 00:48:45,950
If you have something to offer,

735
00:48:46,540 --> 00:48:47,540
you'll be given the antidote.

736
00:48:48,390 --> 00:48:49,930
No need to finish your words.

737
00:48:50,860 --> 00:48:52,400
I can definitely get the antidote.

738
00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:53,950
Don't worry.

739
00:48:56,300 --> 00:48:57,300
Besides,

740
00:48:58,310 --> 00:48:59,770
from a Chi to a Mei,

741
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:03,480
I suffered more than one can imagine.

742
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,500
I'm not afraid

743
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:11,250
of those flies and bugs.

744
00:49:13,170 --> 00:49:14,940
No matter how painful the torture is,

745
00:49:16,510 --> 00:49:17,520
I can bear it.

746
00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:21,230
You can't.

747
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:26,240
Trust me.

748
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:32,240
You can't bear it.

749
00:49:35,590 --> 00:49:36,590
So,

750
00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:39,200
you must get important information

751
00:49:40,370 --> 00:49:41,370
before the Fortnight Flies attack you.

752
00:49:43,610 --> 00:49:44,610
You can also

753
00:49:45,230 --> 00:49:46,790
do something that Wufeng deems satisfactory.

754
00:49:53,650 --> 00:49:54,650
Yun Weishan.

755
00:49:55,020 --> 00:49:56,020
Where are you going?

756
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,360
I'm going to send out the information

757
00:50:00,850 --> 00:50:01,850
I gathered.

758
00:50:02,990 --> 00:50:04,070
How?

759
00:50:04,970 --> 00:50:06,660
I'll float lanterns down the river.

760
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:15,800
Wait.

761
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:18,500
River lanterns?

762
00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:21,960
In the broad daylight?

763
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,080
Jin Fan.

764
00:50:25,260 --> 00:50:27,080
Get the lanterns out and search upstream.

765
00:50:27,530 --> 00:50:29,220
If you can't find anyone, come downstream to meet me.

766
00:50:29,590 --> 00:50:30,590
Downstream?

767
00:50:30,910 --> 00:50:32,280
Why are you going downstream?

768
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Miss.

769
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,480
Miss.

770
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,080
Miss Yun Weishan.

771
00:50:48,260 --> 00:50:49,260
Miss Yun Weishan.

772
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Yuan Weishan.

773
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:26,850
It's really you.

774
00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:36,520
Instead of staying in your room,

775
00:51:36,990 --> 00:51:38,500
you're headed to the gate.

776
00:51:39,470 --> 00:51:40,470
What are you going to do?

777
00:51:41,870 --> 00:51:42,870
I want to leave.

778
00:51:46,030 --> 00:51:47,950
You tried to escape

779
00:51:48,260 --> 00:51:50,020
when I first brought you out of the prison.

780
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,320
I thought you ran away

781
00:51:53,350 --> 00:51:54,350
just because you were scared.

782
00:51:56,020 --> 00:51:57,590
Now the assassin has been found.

783
00:51:57,790 --> 00:51:58,790
The dust has settled.

784
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:00,710
But you still want to leave.

785
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:02,240
Why?

786
00:52:04,550 --> 00:52:06,120
I never wanted to marry into the Gong family.

787
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,480
Mother forced me to come here.

788
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,240
Don't let her go.

789
00:52:26,390 --> 00:52:27,290
Sword Wielder.

790
00:52:27,300 --> 00:52:28,300
There are words written on the lantern.

791
00:52:36,810 --> 00:52:37,810
Yun Weishan.

792
00:52:38,550 --> 00:52:39,880
You wrote so many words on the lantern

793
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,210
and floated it down the river.

794
00:52:42,390 --> 00:52:43,390
Did you plan

795
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,840
to send messages out?

796
00:52:58,990 --> 00:53:00,790
I'll float lanterns down the river.

797
00:53:01,860 --> 00:53:03,390
Do you take the Gong family for fools?

798
00:53:04,650 --> 00:53:05,790
How to make sure the lanterns end in the right hands?

799
00:53:06,550 --> 00:53:07,990
If they're picked up halfway,

800
00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:10,040
the information on them will be seen.

801
00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:11,870
Yes.

802
00:53:12,650 --> 00:53:14,060
That's my plan.

803
00:53:17,210 --> 00:53:18,720
You didn't drink my tea.

804
00:53:19,790 --> 00:53:21,300
Why are you out of your mind

805
00:53:21,950 --> 00:53:23,090
like Miss Jiang?

806
00:53:23,790 --> 00:53:25,070
I mean,

807
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:28,650
I'll expose myself.

808
00:53:31,150 --> 00:53:32,200
You were taught to do that too.

809
00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:38,270
I see.

810
00:53:38,810 --> 00:53:41,170
When we're faced with a crisis that may expose us,

811
00:53:41,580 --> 00:53:44,350
we leak insignificant information as a distraction

812
00:53:44,870 --> 00:53:47,620
to hide our true goals and identities.

813
00:53:48,030 --> 00:53:49,030
Yes.

814
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,960
The Gong family is smart,

815
00:53:52,990 --> 00:53:55,360
but everyone will fall for that trick.

816
00:53:55,590 --> 00:53:57,930
Just like Miss Zheng exposed herself willingly.

817
00:53:58,700 --> 00:54:00,340
Once the Gong family believes

818
00:54:00,870 --> 00:54:03,060
that the assassin has been found,

819
00:54:03,670 --> 00:54:05,050
the true assassins,

820
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:06,270
you and I,

821
00:54:06,510 --> 00:54:07,510
will be safe.

822
00:54:11,270 --> 00:54:13,900
Maybe Miss Zheng didn't expose herself willingly.

823
00:54:15,990 --> 00:54:17,360
For Wufeng,

824
00:54:18,550 --> 00:54:19,550
her death

825
00:54:20,780 --> 00:54:22,880
is just part of their plan.

826
00:54:24,310 --> 00:54:25,870
The death of every one of us

827
00:54:26,510 --> 00:54:29,320
is just a willing sacrifice they want.

828
00:54:31,030 --> 00:54:33,630
What if Zheng Nanyi was so selfless

829
00:54:34,290 --> 00:54:36,080
and sacrificed herself willingly?

830
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,400
The mountain is steep.

831
00:54:40,470 --> 00:54:41,600
The river runs fast.

832
00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:43,340
Come back as soon as you're done.

833
00:54:43,870 --> 00:54:44,870
No.

834
00:54:46,390 --> 00:54:47,690
I'll go downstream.

835
00:54:52,150 --> 00:54:53,150
I see.

836
00:54:53,750 --> 00:54:56,800
Your target has always been the Sword Wielder

837
00:54:57,470 --> 00:54:58,600
instead of Gong Huanyu.

838
00:54:59,190 --> 00:55:00,350
Now,

839
00:55:00,350 --> 00:55:01,460
the Sword Wielder of the Gong family

840
00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:03,850
has become Gong Ziyu.

841
00:55:07,070 --> 00:55:09,740
Gong Ziyu seems to be a toff,

842
00:55:11,450 --> 00:55:13,640
but judging from what I observed,

843
00:55:14,630 --> 00:55:16,780
he's smarter than he appears.

844
00:55:17,470 --> 00:55:19,950
He'll follow the clue of Miss Jiang's poisoning

845
00:55:19,950 --> 00:55:21,100
to look into the other girls,

846
00:55:21,710 --> 00:55:24,400
especially me who was poisoned too.

847
00:55:26,150 --> 00:55:27,240
To come here,

848
00:55:28,110 --> 00:55:30,020
he'll have to walk up along the river.

849
00:55:32,630 --> 00:55:34,470
I want him to think that our meeting

850
00:55:35,670 --> 00:55:36,790
is by accident.

851
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,620
You want him to think that he's destined

852
00:55:40,910 --> 00:55:42,300
to meet you, right?

853
00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:47,210
You're so smart.

854
00:55:47,910 --> 00:55:49,310
Why are you just a Chi?

855
00:55:52,570 --> 00:55:54,550
But all the information I have

856
00:55:55,510 --> 00:55:58,440
is about his brother's personality and preferences.

857
00:56:00,510 --> 00:56:01,870
This is the information

858
00:56:01,870 --> 00:56:02,870
we collected on Gong Huanyu.

859
00:56:06,910 --> 00:56:07,910
That's all?

860
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:09,180
That's all.

861
00:56:09,370 --> 00:56:10,370
We tried our best.

862
00:56:12,990 --> 00:56:14,510
Irrelevant information is not included

863
00:56:14,530 --> 00:56:15,570
in it.

864
00:56:16,700 --> 00:56:18,890
For example, Gong Huanyu has a younger brother named Gong Ziyu.

865
00:56:20,150 --> 00:56:21,150
Gong Ziyu?

866
00:56:22,470 --> 00:56:23,500
Do you have his information?

867
00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:25,060
What kind of person is he?

868
00:56:26,820 --> 00:56:27,820
He's not important.

869
00:56:28,340 --> 00:56:30,140
You should focus on Gong Huanyu.

870
00:56:31,170 --> 00:56:32,570
Gong Huanyu is the Young Lord of the Gong family,

871
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:34,520
which means he's the future Sword Wielder.

872
00:56:35,250 --> 00:56:36,270
Only from him

873
00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:38,220
can you get what you need.

874
00:56:40,940 --> 00:56:41,950
I know very little

875
00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:43,880
about Gong Ziyu.

876
00:56:46,550 --> 00:56:47,940
Gong Ziyu lost his mother at an early age.

877
00:56:48,990 --> 00:56:50,430
That's why he became

878
00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:51,870
a grumpy playboy.

879
00:56:52,990 --> 00:56:55,890
After he grew up, he spent all his time drinking and fooling around.

880
00:56:56,270 --> 00:56:57,280
He can't amount to much.

881
00:56:57,750 --> 00:57:00,770
Gong Ziyu and his father were not close.

882
00:57:01,810 --> 00:57:04,190
Seems that he's never gotten his father's approval.

883
00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:07,730
His father gave almost all his love

884
00:57:08,150 --> 00:57:09,940
to Gong Huanyu

885
00:57:09,970 --> 00:57:12,130
who was cleverer and better at martial arts.

886
00:57:13,310 --> 00:57:14,310
Father.

887
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:15,850
I'm cold.

888
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:17,540
You're so delicate.

889
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,150
You don't deserve to be my son.

890
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:20,920
Look at your brother.

891
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:22,480
See how he practices martial arts.

892
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,860
That's why Gong Ziyu gave up on himself.

893
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:33,900
However,

894
00:57:33,980 --> 00:57:36,670
Gong Huanyu doted on him.

895
00:57:38,510 --> 00:57:40,380
I know what to write on the river lanterns.

896
00:57:43,670 --> 00:57:44,710
Is this river lantern yours?

897
00:57:46,650 --> 00:57:47,650
Yes.

898
00:57:49,890 --> 00:57:50,910
Miss Yun, you're so smart.

899
00:57:52,660 --> 00:57:54,150
You know that if someone discovers the lantern,

900
00:57:54,750 --> 00:57:56,300
they'll go upstream

901
00:57:56,900 --> 00:57:58,100
to find the person who floated it.

902
00:57:58,630 --> 00:58:00,090
So you went downstream on purpose

903
00:58:00,510 --> 00:58:01,720
and took a detour to go back.

904
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:04,300
But do you know how many guards

905
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,990
there are along the river?

906
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:07,540
- You may... - You get me wrong.

907
00:58:07,790 --> 00:58:09,250
I just want to leave.

908
00:58:16,250 --> 00:58:17,250
Young Master Ziyu.

909
00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:19,460
I beg you.

910
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:22,480
Please let me go.

911
00:58:23,470 --> 00:58:24,630
There have been rumors

912
00:58:24,930 --> 00:58:26,090
in the Gong Residence

913
00:58:26,870 --> 00:58:28,870
that Gong Ziyu is not a Gong.

914
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,300
His mother, Lady Lan,

915
00:58:31,670 --> 00:58:33,140
had someone she loved

916
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:35,220
before marrying into the Gong family.

917
00:58:36,340 --> 00:58:37,600
She missed him day and night

918
00:58:37,950 --> 00:58:39,710
and kept trying to escape.

919
00:58:40,630 --> 00:58:41,960
In the end, she died from depression.

920
00:58:53,550 --> 00:58:54,550
Father,

921
00:58:55,690 --> 00:58:57,100
I've got married.

922
00:58:58,630 --> 00:59:00,300
They gave me a lot of betrothal gifts.

923
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,340
I think

924
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,740
Mother doesn't have to work so hard

925
00:59:06,110 --> 00:59:07,220
to support our family anymore.

926
00:59:09,270 --> 00:59:10,270
Father,

927
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:12,320
I know you've always felt bad

928
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,070
about not having a son to ennoble our family.

929
00:59:17,270 --> 00:59:18,510
You always said

930
00:59:19,090 --> 00:59:20,650
that I must marry a good man

931
00:59:21,550 --> 00:59:23,230
to show everyone in the town

932
00:59:23,990 --> 00:59:25,820
that the Yun family's daughter is blessed.

933
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:30,260
But Father,

934
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,210
I wasn't chosen by the Sword Wielder.

935
00:59:34,750 --> 00:59:36,370
Sorry to disappoint you.

936
00:59:38,220 --> 00:59:39,590
Is this really for your father?

937
00:59:48,550 --> 00:59:49,550
Let her go.

938
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,040
No matter what your mission is,

939
00:59:56,620 --> 00:59:58,430
if you want to leave this courtyard,

940
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,680
you must carefully avoid the guards' patrol route.

941
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:02,870
I can draw it for you.

942
01:00:05,740 --> 01:00:08,500
Don't take the road on the east side.

943
01:00:09,730 --> 01:00:10,730
Yun Weishan.

944
01:00:11,150 --> 01:00:12,840
God help you if you lied to me.
