<i>♫ The masses speak of my arrogance ♫</i>

<i>♫ Accidentally, I found out a secret ♫</i>

11
00:00:39,142 --> 00:00:39,992

12
00:00:39,992 --> 00:00:41,148
<i>♫ Has overthrown it all ♫</i>

13
00:00:41,148 --> 00:00:42,436

<i>♫ Standing right here ♫</i>

15

<i>♫ You follow the rules I made ♫</i>

16

<i>♫ I used to see hills full of lonely souls ♫</i>

25
00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:03,292
<i>♫ I feel regret for my recklessness ♫</i>

26
00:01:03,292 --> 00:01:07,408
<i>♫ Leaving future generations

<i>♫ We only have one life, and take it easy ♫</i>

32
00:01:24,314 --> 00:01:25,973
<i>♫ My chessboard involves two sides ♫</i>

33
00:01:25,973 --> 00:01:27,584
<i>♫ As I lay out my strategy, you take a hint ♫</i>

34
00:01:27,584 --> 00:01:29,326
<i>♫ When you feel regret, it's too late ♫</i>

35
00:01:29,326 --> 00:01:30,688
<i>♫ So many tricks and lies ♫</i>

36
00:01:30,688 --> 00:01:32,656

<i>[Episode 32]</i>

40
00:01:41,795 --> 00:01:45,630
There are many meanings to life.

41
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:49,590
Experience itself is a form of meaning.

42
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:52,340
I have been here.

43
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:55,990
I have done. And I have had.

44
00:01:57,034 --> 00:02:00,235
Whether it be success or failure,

45
00:02:01,474 --> 00:02:06,594
isn't experience itself a form of meaning?

46
00:02:11,994 --> 00:02:13,783
Also,

47
00:02:19,434 --> 00:02:21,834
who are you?

48
00:02:21,834 --> 00:02:25,834
Is my life any of your business?

49
00:02:25,834 --> 00:02:29,550
By what right do you make gestures here?

50
00:02:30,255 --> 00:02:32,640
Life itself is different.

51
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,970
Everyone has their own way to live.

52
00:02:34,975 --> 00:02:39,494
If we all follow your way to live,

53
00:02:39,494 --> 00:02:42,814
life would be meaningless.

54
00:02:42,814 --> 00:02:46,194
Life is defined by oneself.

55
00:02:46,194 --> 00:02:50,254
Also, don't think you are something special
just because you keep a straight face

56
00:02:50,254 --> 00:02:53,714
and ask me
some pretentiously profound questions.

57
00:02:53,714 --> 00:02:56,120
If you really are something, answer me:

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,850
what is the meaning of your life?

59
00:02:58,854 --> 00:03:00,610
Can't say it, can you?

60
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:03,470
Just listen to me.

61
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:06,394
What annoys me the most is someone like…

62
00:03:08,295 --> 00:03:11,635
Wait a second. I can't catch my breath. I'm dying.

63
00:03:11,635 --> 00:03:15,967
Nurse! Nurse…

64
00:03:15,967 --> 00:03:20,375
Don't leave.
I'll chat with you in the next life.

65
00:03:25,075 --> 00:03:26,175
- Director?
- Do the CPR.

66
00:03:26,175 --> 00:03:27,914
Okay.

67
00:03:29,455 --> 00:03:31,275
- Mr. Yang? Don't move.
- Don't go.

68
00:03:31,275 --> 00:03:34,374
- Mr. Yang.
- We'll continue to chat in the next life.

69
00:03:37,135 --> 00:03:40,594
Duku, where were we just now?

70
00:03:40,594 --> 00:03:44,235
The meaning of life, right. I have thought it through this time.

71
00:03:44,235 --> 00:03:48,414
The meaning of my life
is to come here and scold you.

72
00:03:48,414 --> 00:03:51,254
Don't you have anything better to do
after filling your belly in the Heaven Domain?

73
00:03:51,254 --> 00:03:53,874
Why have you come to Dafeng
to find the meaning of life?

74
00:03:53,874 --> 00:03:55,874
If you want to find it,
go back to Heaven Domain.

75
00:03:55,874 --> 00:03:57,554
You ask me the meaning of life?

76
00:03:57,554 --> 00:04:01,415
I want to ask you. What is the meaning of work?

77
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:03,795
What is the meaning of eating?

78
00:04:03,795 --> 00:04:07,335
And what is the meaning of love?

79
00:04:09,254 --> 00:04:13,295
Think about it carefully. I'm dying again.

80
00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:17,275
Nurse! Nurse…

81
00:04:23,735 --> 00:04:25,174
- Mr. Yang.
- Don't go.

82
00:04:25,174 --> 00:04:27,915
Don't move. We'll continue in the next life.

83
00:04:30,695 --> 00:04:33,275
Duku, have you thought it through?

84
00:04:33,275 --> 00:04:37,255
What is the meaning of love? Come on. Answer me.

85
00:04:37,255 --> 00:04:39,654
No way. Don't tell me
you've never been in love.

86
00:04:39,654 --> 00:04:43,154
Duku, your fate is truly bitter.

87
00:04:43,154 --> 00:04:45,954
I heard you have a junior brother called Du'e.

88
00:04:45,954 --> 00:04:49,575
Has he ever been in love? He hasn't either?

89
00:04:49,575 --> 00:04:51,715
You two are really quite pitiful.

90
00:04:51,715 --> 00:04:56,075
Your beard looks quite unique. No girl likes you?

91
00:04:56,075 --> 00:04:58,754
You've never even been in love.

92
00:04:58,754 --> 00:05:01,174
Why do you have the nerve
to talk to me about life?

93
00:05:01,174 --> 00:05:03,754
You're not worthy!

94
00:05:05,355 --> 00:05:09,034
I'm dying again. Let's continue this in our next life.

95
00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:19,494
Duku. So, did you miss me?

96
00:05:19,494 --> 00:05:21,094
Master, have you ever had hotpot?

97
00:05:21,094 --> 00:05:22,275
Do you think there is any meaning
in eating spicy hot pot?

98
00:05:22,275 --> 00:05:23,715
Does Sichuan cuisine have any meaning?
Or Cantonese cuisine?

99
00:05:23,715 --> 00:05:25,675
Does Guangdong or Beijing cuisine
have any meaning?

100
00:05:25,675 --> 00:05:28,994
Don't go.
Let's continue our chat in the next life.

101
00:05:31,554 --> 00:05:34,514
Duku, I'm back again.

102
00:05:34,514 --> 00:05:36,235
Have you ever made a short video?

103
00:05:36,235 --> 00:05:39,210
<i>♪ Light footsteps ♪</i>

104
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:41,235
Have you ever watched Journey to the West?

105
00:05:41,235 --> 00:05:44,974
Who do you think is more powerful? Sun Wukong or Jian Zheng?

106
00:05:47,835 --> 00:05:50,594
Are you joining me? Let's play basketball.

107
00:05:50,594 --> 00:05:52,715
Master, have you played basketball
with your brothers?

108
00:05:52,715 --> 00:05:54,614
Let me tell you, I dribble like a pro.

109
00:05:54,614 --> 00:05:56,567
That's right.

110
00:05:56,567 --> 00:05:59,614
No, Tang Sanzang is like this. That's right.

111
00:05:59,614 --> 00:06:02,055
Do you like the five-nut-flavored mooncakes?

112
00:06:02,055 --> 00:06:04,135
Quite fitting.

113
00:06:06,614 --> 00:06:08,094
Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled pepper.

114
00:06:08,094 --> 00:06:09,795
A pack of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked.

115
00:06:09,795 --> 00:06:11,275
If Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled pepper.

116
00:06:11,275 --> 00:06:12,915
Where's the pack of pickled pepper
Peter Piper picked?

117
00:06:12,915 --> 00:06:15,495
Does it make sense? It doesn't really. It's just about being happy.

118
00:06:15,495 --> 00:06:16,575
Master, have you ever played a ranked match?

119
00:06:16,575 --> 00:06:17,654
Master, have you ever ordered takeout?

120
00:06:17,654 --> 00:06:19,094
Master, have you ever had hotpot?

121
00:06:19,094 --> 00:06:20,575
Master, did you play with mud as a child?

122
00:06:20,575 --> 00:06:22,314
Master, why aren't you talking? Master?

123
00:06:22,314 --> 00:06:23,683
Master, why have you gone mute?

124
00:06:23,683 --> 00:06:25,739
Say something to me, will you? Tell me the meaning of life.

125
00:06:25,739 --> 00:06:27,595
The meaning of eating hotpot.
The meaning of taking a driving test.

126
00:06:27,595 --> 00:06:29,534
Why are you not talking anymore, Master?

127
00:06:29,534 --> 00:06:31,475
Shut up!

128
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:38,551
Got you.

129
00:06:44,275 --> 00:06:46,007
It moved.

130
00:06:46,675 --> 00:06:49,835

- What's going on?

Someone has drawn upon the power

So, don't use your own rules to define others.

I hate your kind of mind control.

Different lives have their own forms of beauty,

141
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,430
as well as different sorrows and regrets.

142
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:13,360
Accept what comes.

143
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,250
With a smile or tears,
either way, you have to face life.

144
00:08:16,255 --> 00:08:20,054
Isn't life about having regrets while striding forward?

<i>♫ Accommodating people with a smile ♫</i>

159
00:08:49,054 --> 00:08:52,415
I can now answer you the meaning of my life.

160
00:08:52,415 --> 00:08:54,734
Now,

161
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:59,434
my meaning is

162
00:09:02,854 --> 00:09:04,591
to

163
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,034
sunder…

164
00:09:10,914 --> 00:09:12,853
<i>♫ I hold a great ambition ♫</i>

165

00:09:18,835 --> 00:09:20,427

<i>♫ The profound mysteries in the Jianghu ♫</i>

<i>♫ Never bend to the officials ♫</i>

177
00:10:00,095 --> 00:10:02,054
The avatar has shattered.

178
00:10:14,015 --> 00:10:17,915
The Heaven Domain has lost.

179
00:10:17,915 --> 00:10:19,954
We've won!

180
00:10:19,954 --> 00:10:22,154
Father, we have won!

181
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:24,734
Mr. Xu's martial arts are peerless, the best in the world.

182
00:10:24,734 --> 00:10:26,795
Dafeng is the orthodox ruler of the nine states.

183
00:10:26,795 --> 00:10:29,754
Its governance and martial prowess are the finest under the heavens.

184
00:10:33,095 --> 00:10:34,675
Ningyan!

185
00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:36,275
Ningyan has won.

186
00:10:36,275 --> 00:10:39,715
I knew my nephew would win.

187
00:10:42,195 --> 00:10:44,715
My 200 taels of silver.

188
00:10:44,715 --> 00:10:48,795
It's 200 taels of silver a year.

189
00:10:48,795 --> 00:10:51,915
Qi'an is a genius bestowed by the heavens.

190
00:10:52,754 --> 00:10:55,575
<i>[Xu Qi'an is sure to win]</i>
My nephew is formidable.

191
00:10:55,575 --> 00:11:00,795
When will I ever be as glorious as him?

192
00:11:06,554 --> 00:11:08,354
Stop crying.

193
00:11:09,094 --> 00:11:10,515
My nephew is impressive.

194
00:11:10,515 --> 00:11:14,575
Under Wei Yuan's command,
another formidable general has risen.

195
00:11:14,575 --> 00:11:16,615
He has always been quite vulgar.

196
00:11:16,615 --> 00:11:18,354
I can't believe he did it.

197
00:11:18,354 --> 00:11:22,335
I have long anticipated Qi'an's strength.

198
00:11:22,335 --> 00:11:25,855
It's just that he's still a bit behind you.

199
00:11:25,855 --> 00:11:28,735
- Simu.
- Xu.

200
00:11:30,755 --> 00:11:34,674
I didn't expect that Xu Qi'an would win
against the Heaven Domain with just one strike.

201
00:11:35,995 --> 00:11:38,615
Could it be that Jian Zheng
was secretly helping him?

202
00:11:40,495 --> 00:11:42,954
This duel is not about cultivation.

203
00:11:42,954 --> 00:11:46,934
Even a common man's bravery
can make him win by surprise.

204
00:11:46,934 --> 00:11:48,763
Don't you agree?

205
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:53,215
Jian Zheng, you were right about your decision.

206
00:12:16,615 --> 00:12:18,995
- Xu Qi'an!
- Lin'an!

207
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:49,374
Spirit Loong, save him!

208
00:13:37,535 --> 00:13:39,775
You are awake.

209
00:13:46,675 --> 00:13:48,639
Mr. Zhao.

210
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,515
Why am I here?

211
00:13:51,515 --> 00:13:53,995
The carving knife in your hand

212
00:13:53,995 --> 00:13:56,775
is the treasure of the Yunlu Academy.

213
00:13:56,775 --> 00:13:59,275
You have grasped it so tightly,

214
00:13:59,275 --> 00:14:01,634
and no one could take it away.

215
00:14:01,634 --> 00:14:06,134
I had no choice
but to bring you back to the academy.

216
00:14:14,614 --> 00:14:16,935
Thank you, Mr. Zhao.

217
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,040
 

218
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:37,834
It belonged to Yasheng?

219
00:14:37,834 --> 00:14:39,715
You're right.

220
00:14:39,715 --> 00:14:41,714
Since Yasheng passed away,

221
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:46,514
this carving knife has been silent
for over a thousand years.

222
00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:53,234
Is Mr. Xu awake?

223
00:14:53,234 --> 00:14:57,494
His Majesty has sent me to visit.

224
00:14:57,494 --> 00:14:59,815
Greetings, Mr. Zhao.

225
00:15:02,594 --> 00:15:05,894
Mr. Xu, you have finally awoken.

226
00:15:05,894 --> 00:15:08,655
His Majesty has some questions for you.

227
00:15:11,655 --> 00:15:13,214
Zhao Shou?

228
00:15:13,214 --> 00:15:16,275
Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao said

229
00:15:16,275 --> 00:15:20,995
that since Yunlu Academy was able
to resist the Heaven Domain 400 years ago,

230
00:15:20,995 --> 00:15:23,575
it can do so today as well.

231
00:15:24,334 --> 00:15:26,875
Was it he
who activated Yasheng's carving knife?

232
00:15:26,875 --> 00:15:31,515
It is said that the scholars joined hands
to collectively activate the carving knife.

233
00:15:31,515 --> 00:15:34,275
As for the spirit loong,
it was driven by the carving knife.

234
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:38,854
The Yasheng's aura reappeared in the world, so…

235
00:15:43,055 --> 00:15:44,635
What did Jian Zheng say?

236
00:15:44,635 --> 00:15:49,634
Your Majesty,
Jian Zheng agreed with this theory.

237
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:55,635
What about Xu Qi'an?

238
00:15:55,635 --> 00:15:57,074
Didn't he say anything?

239
00:15:57,074 --> 00:16:00,574
Mr. Xu said, "I sundered the avatar.

240
00:16:00,574 --> 00:16:02,795
But I dare not claim great merit.

241
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:09,134
I wonder if I may ask His Majesty
for a reward?"

242
00:16:13,454 --> 00:16:15,875
So it was you who helped.

243
00:16:15,875 --> 00:16:18,294
The Heaven Domain came to intrude.

244
00:16:18,294 --> 00:16:22,174
How could the Yunlu Academy
sit by and do nothing?

245
00:16:23,175 --> 00:16:25,135
The pure energy has not dissipated.

246
00:16:25,135 --> 00:16:28,875
I'll go to the Yasheng Hall
to comprehend the way immediately.

247
00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:31,675
Mr. Xu, please feel free.

248
00:16:31,675 --> 00:16:36,195
Mr. Zhao, there's one more thing
I don't understand.

249
00:16:37,434 --> 00:16:39,734
Dafeng is brimming with talent.

250
00:16:39,734 --> 00:16:44,374
Wouldn't it be better if Yunlu Academy
resisted the enemy with Bureau of Astronomy?

251
00:16:44,374 --> 00:16:47,435
Why did you choose me, of all people?

252
00:16:49,935 --> 00:16:51,714
Despite the crowd,

253
00:16:51,714 --> 00:16:57,515
only one young person is on good terms
with both the academy and the bureau,

254
00:16:57,515 --> 00:17:01,494
and that person is you.

255
00:17:04,455 --> 00:17:06,955
Thank you for your appreciation.

256
00:17:16,074 --> 00:17:18,195
How long have I slept?

257
00:17:18,195 --> 00:17:21,500
 

258
00:17:25,395 --> 00:17:29,475
So it was him that you chose?

259
00:17:29,475 --> 00:17:32,654
Didn't Yasheng also choose him?

260
00:17:38,434 --> 00:17:40,334
He can awaken the carving knife

261
00:17:40,334 --> 00:17:42,434
and mobilize the power of all living beings.

262
00:17:42,434 --> 00:17:45,675
He is the one who has gathered
the great fortune of the world.

263
00:17:45,675 --> 00:17:48,295
Indeed, he is the unequivocal choice.

264
00:17:48,295 --> 00:17:52,555
The reason I chose him
is not just because he carries great fortune.

265
00:17:52,555 --> 00:17:55,075
The real reason why Xu Qi'an
could break the formation

266
00:17:55,075 --> 00:17:57,815
lies in his temperament.

267
00:17:57,815 --> 00:18:00,514
He possesses a determination
that ordinary people cannot match

268
00:18:00,514 --> 00:18:04,155
as well as the ordinary heart
of a common person.

269
00:18:04,155 --> 00:18:07,515
Yet this mission is arduous
and the journey long.

270
00:18:07,515 --> 00:18:10,015
Even if he has the incomparable ability,

271
00:18:10,015 --> 00:18:12,794
he is still young and inexperienced.

272
00:18:12,794 --> 00:18:16,735
He knows nothing of what he is about to face.

273
00:18:16,735 --> 00:18:21,134
Can he truly shoulder
this great responsibility?

274
00:18:21,134 --> 00:18:22,654
If there is a mishap,

275
00:18:22,654 --> 00:18:25,715
for both Yunlu Academy and the people of the world,

276
00:18:25,715 --> 00:18:29,514
it will be a catastrophe.

277
00:18:29,514 --> 00:18:32,995
Among troubles, heroes arise in chaotic times.

278
00:18:32,995 --> 00:18:34,975
This is destiny.

279
00:18:38,155 --> 00:18:43,194
Now that he has emerged, that day must not be far away.

280
00:18:43,194 --> 00:18:46,075
The only thing we old folks can do

281
00:18:46,075 --> 00:18:49,595
is protect him on this journey.

282
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:53,715
It's just
that he possesses overwhelming fortune,

283
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:58,374
which belongs to Dafeng's imperial family.

284
00:18:58,374 --> 00:19:03,594
Currently, he is still in Capital City, right under His Majesty's nose.

285
00:19:03,594 --> 00:19:07,275
Will he really not be noticed?

286
00:19:07,275 --> 00:19:09,894
As you said,

287
00:19:09,894 --> 00:19:14,075
with us old folks to protect him,

288
00:19:14,075 --> 00:19:17,314
Yuanjing will have to weigh the considerations

289
00:19:18,854 --> 00:19:22,015
before making a move on him.

290
00:19:28,635 --> 00:19:32,334
My teacher said
that Your Majesty is overthinking it.

291
00:19:32,334 --> 00:19:35,754
If Xu Qi'an did carry
the imperial family's fortune,

292
00:19:35,754 --> 00:19:40,254
she would know at once and report to Your Majesty.

293
00:19:40,915 --> 00:19:45,815
What if someone
has concealed that fortune for him?

294
00:19:47,234 --> 00:19:49,195
Conceal the fortune?

295
00:19:50,274 --> 00:19:54,755
As far as I know, those capable of doing this

296
00:19:54,755 --> 00:19:56,735
in Dafeng are no more than three.

297
00:19:56,735 --> 00:19:59,974
And none of them dare to defy Your Majesty.

298
00:19:59,974 --> 00:20:03,315
Now Your Majesty is where people's hearts align
and the Mandate of Heaven belongs.

299
00:20:03,315 --> 00:20:08,734
Perhaps Your Majesty is over-worrying.

300
00:20:10,015 --> 00:20:13,455
Perhaps I have thought too much.

301
00:20:13,455 --> 00:20:16,995
Never mind. Let's not speak of this anymore.

302
00:20:19,875 --> 00:20:21,994
Grand Master is in enclosed cultivation,

303
00:20:21,994 --> 00:20:26,295
yet is still keeping a watch
over Dafeng for me.

304
00:20:26,295 --> 00:20:28,935
It greatly comforts me.

305
00:20:28,935 --> 00:20:33,054
I will pass Your Majesty's concern to my teacher.

306
00:20:45,514 --> 00:20:48,614
Is it that I have overthought,

307
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:53,575
or is even Grand Master deceiving me??

308
00:20:53,575 --> 00:20:56,575
Your Majesty, it has been a long day.

309
00:20:56,575 --> 00:20:58,575
Please care more about your health.

310
00:20:58,575 --> 00:21:00,994
How about resting for a moment?

311
00:21:00,994 --> 00:21:04,395
What reward did Xu Qi'an ask for?

312
00:21:04,395 --> 00:21:07,934
Your Majesty, it's the rank of a viscount.

313
00:21:12,954 --> 00:21:16,395
Although Xu Qi'an
has merits in resisting the enemy,

314
00:21:16,395 --> 00:21:20,975
it's also because of Your Majesty's favor that he had this opportunity.

315
00:21:20,975 --> 00:21:23,875
Rewarding him with some money and jewelry

316
00:21:23,875 --> 00:21:27,675
is already a great fortune for him.

317
00:21:27,675 --> 00:21:32,003
A noble title cannot be given so easily.

318
00:21:32,003 --> 00:21:35,934
He has asked for too much.

319
00:21:35,934 --> 00:21:37,551
Give it to him.

320
00:21:39,075 --> 00:21:40,691
Yes.

321
00:21:40,691 --> 00:21:44,694
Also, instruct the three offices
to enter the palace for a meeting.

322
00:21:44,694 --> 00:21:45,915
Tell them

323
00:21:45,915 --> 00:21:49,975
that for the post of chief officer in charge
of the bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around,

324
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,934
I have someone in mind.

325
00:21:51,934 --> 00:21:53,543
Yes.

326
00:22:04,054 --> 00:22:08,674
<i>Even if it is my overthinking,
I cannot tolerate you,</i>

327
00:22:08,674 --> 00:22:10,875
<i>Xu Qi'an.</i>

328
00:22:14,555 --> 00:22:17,995
Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhao said that he chose me because

329
00:22:17,995 --> 00:22:22,455
the young person who's on good terms
with both the academy and the bureau

330
00:22:22,455 --> 00:22:25,815
is only me and no one else.

331
00:22:27,134 --> 00:22:29,734
What do you think, then?

332
00:22:30,994 --> 00:22:32,675
In my opinion,

333
00:22:32,675 --> 00:22:35,894
in this magical duel,
Jian Zheng had faith in victory.

334
00:22:35,894 --> 00:22:38,754
No matter who was at the forefront,
they would benefit from this.

335
00:22:38,754 --> 00:22:40,234
And I am your subordinate.

336
00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:42,115
Jian Zheng chose me

337
00:22:42,115 --> 00:22:45,815
probably because he wanted
to offer you a favor.

338
00:22:49,274 --> 00:22:50,899
Serve the tea.

339
00:23:03,018 --> 00:23:05,967
<i>[Shaoyin Palace]</i>.

340
00:23:14,294 --> 00:23:16,091
How's it going?

341
00:23:16,091 --> 00:23:17,854
Your Highness, the Noble Consort said

342
00:23:17,854 --> 00:23:21,075
that your raid into Yunlu Academy has caused an uproar in the palace,

343
00:23:21,075 --> 00:23:24,915
and that to avoid further controversy,
you are firmly confined.

344
00:23:24,915 --> 00:23:26,735
Can't I even go out for a walk?

345
00:23:26,735 --> 00:23:29,414
But everyone knows
you're not just out for a walk

346
00:23:29,414 --> 00:23:30,994
but want to see Mr. Xu.

347
00:23:30,994 --> 00:23:32,487
That's…

348
00:23:33,134 --> 00:23:34,714
So what if I do?

349
00:23:34,714 --> 00:23:37,394
My guest scholar has won glory for the country.

350
00:23:37,394 --> 00:23:39,915
But his life is in doubt.

351
00:23:39,915 --> 00:23:42,495
Can't I be anxious?

352
00:23:48,875 --> 00:23:50,247
Come on.

353
00:23:53,094 --> 00:23:55,995
I am their main subject of surveillance.

354
00:23:55,995 --> 00:23:59,414
I have no way to go out. But you are different.

355
00:24:00,975 --> 00:24:05,634
From now on, you will be the princess, and I will be Xiaogang.

356
00:24:05,634 --> 00:24:08,055
Let's change our clothes
and disguise ourselves.

357
00:24:08,055 --> 00:24:10,395
Then, during the shift change,

358
00:24:10,395 --> 00:24:11,715
I'll slip out the back door quietly.

359
00:24:11,715 --> 00:24:15,355
No, Your Highness. It's too risky this way.

360
00:24:15,355 --> 00:24:18,714
I will just take one distant look. Just one.

361
00:24:18,714 --> 00:24:20,835
If I see that he's fine, I'll come back.

362
00:24:20,835 --> 00:24:21,915
I won't be discovered by anyone.

363
00:24:21,915 --> 00:24:23,595
But if this were to be discovered

364
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:25,754
and reported to the Noble Consort,

365
00:24:25,754 --> 00:24:28,075
I would be in for trouble.

366
00:24:28,075 --> 00:24:29,954
Nothing will do.

367
00:24:29,954 --> 00:24:32,015
Then what am I to do?

368
00:24:37,794 --> 00:24:40,274
Haven't I been nice to you?

369
00:24:41,315 --> 00:24:43,495
Yes… No.

370
00:24:45,075 --> 00:24:47,715
- Yes.
- That's good.

371
00:24:47,715 --> 00:24:49,915
- Then just take my place for a few days…
- No.

372
00:24:49,915 --> 00:24:52,315
Half a day? Even a few hours would be good.

373
00:24:52,315 --> 00:24:54,614
I shall return shortly.

374
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,414
Your Highness!

375
00:24:58,414 --> 00:25:02,475
Word from outside has it that Mr. Xu has already awakened.

376
00:25:02,475 --> 00:25:04,179
Really?

377
00:25:06,954 --> 00:25:10,614
A precious sword from Heaven Domain crafted by Zhu Maogong.

378
00:25:10,614 --> 00:25:12,699
It's worth at least 800 taels of silver.

379
00:25:12,699 --> 00:25:14,455
<i>[Vice Minister of Rites]</i>

380
00:25:14,455 --> 00:25:18,015
It's a gift
from the newly appointed Minister of Rites.

381
00:25:24,495 --> 00:25:26,695
This jade hairpin…

382
00:25:26,695 --> 00:25:29,834
Judging by its quality, it's not worth much.

383
00:25:29,834 --> 00:25:31,654
It's probably around 200 taels of silver.

384
00:25:31,654 --> 00:25:35,074
But there are 12 pieces in this box.

385
00:25:35,074 --> 00:25:37,435
They're worth at least 2,000 taels of silver.

386
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:40,563
Let me take a look.

387
00:25:40,563 --> 00:25:42,155
<i>[Jade hairpins from the wife
of the Vice-Minister of the Ministry of War]</i>

388
00:25:42,155 --> 00:25:45,675
They're gifted by the wife
of the Vice-Minister of the Ministry of War.

389
00:25:48,134 --> 00:25:50,654
And this painting…

390
00:25:51,754 --> 00:25:53,474
This painting is remarkable.

391
00:25:53,474 --> 00:25:57,514
It must be the genuine work of the foremost
among the late four great masters of Dafeng,

392
00:25:57,514 --> 00:25:59,555
Gu Yunzhi.

393
00:25:59,555 --> 00:26:02,234
It's probably an invaluable treasure.

394
00:26:03,714 --> 00:26:05,835
Be careful. Simu gave it to me.

395
00:26:05,835 --> 00:26:08,094
It's not the same as these other things.

396
00:26:09,654 --> 00:26:12,090
Good. Good.

397
00:26:12,734 --> 00:26:16,575
Very good.

398
00:26:17,194 --> 00:26:19,595
It seems that in these few days of my absence,

399
00:26:19,595 --> 00:26:23,655
our family has changed quite a bit.

400
00:26:23,655 --> 00:26:26,194
Then who sent these?

401
00:26:26,194 --> 00:26:29,854
They were made by order
of the Minister of Works a few days ago.

402
00:26:30,675 --> 00:26:32,954
It seems ever since I sundered the avatar,

403
00:26:32,954 --> 00:26:35,775
we have all benefited more or less.

404
00:26:35,775 --> 00:26:38,754
Yes, it's all thanks to you, Ningyan.

405
00:26:38,754 --> 00:26:41,115
You have brought glory to our family.

406
00:26:41,115 --> 00:26:44,034
You are a great hero to our family.

407
00:26:44,034 --> 00:26:45,954
Father, it's not just our family.

408
00:26:45,954 --> 00:26:47,675
Qi'an is a hero of the entire Dafeng.

409
00:26:47,675 --> 00:26:48,875
That's right.

410
00:26:48,875 --> 00:26:50,915
Ningyan has also made me proud.

411
00:26:50,915 --> 00:26:52,574
Even I had a seat.

412
00:26:52,574 --> 00:26:53,875
Well done, Qi'an.

413
00:26:53,875 --> 00:26:56,155
So you take it for granted,

414
00:26:56,155 --> 00:26:57,635
guarding the interests at hand

415
00:26:57,635 --> 00:27:00,155
and casting me, the so-called great hero,
to the back of your minds.

416
00:27:00,155 --> 00:27:03,535
When I woke up,
there wasn't a single person by my side.

417
00:27:06,815 --> 00:27:10,955
Lingyue, isn't there a chicken stewing
in the pot?

418
00:27:10,955 --> 00:27:13,715
Yes, I specially stewed a chicken
for Qi'an's return.

419
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:15,475
Wait.

420
00:27:19,954 --> 00:27:22,575
Aunt and Lingyue, you are females.

421
00:27:22,575 --> 00:27:24,315
It's inconvenient for you to visit.

422
00:27:24,315 --> 00:27:26,295
I can forgive you.

423
00:27:30,575 --> 00:27:33,555
As for the two of you…

424
00:27:36,894 --> 00:27:39,474
Uncle, I am your dear nephew.

425
00:27:39,474 --> 00:27:42,794
And you, Cijiu. You're a student at the Yunlu Academy.

426
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:44,395
I was comatose every day at Yunlu Academy.

427
00:27:44,395 --> 00:27:46,034
Yet you two also disregarded me.

428
00:27:46,034 --> 00:27:48,534
Are we still family?

429
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:52,714
Ningyan, you've really wronged us.

430
00:27:52,714 --> 00:27:55,875
That day, we were worried about you and followed Mr. Zhao to the academy.

431
00:27:55,875 --> 00:27:59,754
We intended to take care of you, but someone else got there first.

432
00:28:01,274 --> 00:28:02,860
That day when we arrived at the academy,

433
00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:05,110
we found that Princess Lin'an
had followed us all the way.

434
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:08,000
Mr. Zhao, you brought him here,

435
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,990
so there must be a way to save him, right?

436
00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:11,355
Please rest assured, Your Highness.

437
00:28:11,355 --> 00:28:15,515
Mr. Xu has only done his best and is overly exhausted.

438
00:28:15,515 --> 00:28:19,175
A few days of rest and he'll be alright.

439
00:28:19,175 --> 00:28:21,100
Come with me.

440
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:22,770
After you, Your Highness.

441
00:28:23,555 --> 00:28:25,610
Her Highness was very anxious

442
00:28:25,610 --> 00:28:28,330
and only relaxed after learning
that your life was not in danger.

443
00:28:28,335 --> 00:28:30,715
And she accompanied us to visit you.

444
00:28:49,355 --> 00:28:50,991
Let me do it.

445
00:29:02,323 --> 00:29:05,279
<i>♫ Thousands of phrases and words ♫</i>

446
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:07,767
<i>♫ For you, I am possessed
by the spirit of a poetic immortal ♫</i>

447
00:29:07,767 --> 00:29:10,743
<i>♫ Thousands of phrases and words ♫</i>

448
00:29:10,743 --> 00:29:12,923
<i>♫ Even half a verse conveys my thoughts ♫</i>

449
00:29:14,555 --> 00:29:15,886
Let me do it.

450
00:29:15,886 --> 00:29:18,623
<i>♫ I can recite my longing for you ♫</i>

451
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:23,495
<i>♫ Only because of the good times
in this world ♫</i>

452
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:25,875
It is a bit hot.

453
00:29:32,034 --> 00:29:33,651
Let me do it.

454
00:29:33,651 --> 00:29:35,279
You do it.

455
00:29:36,695 --> 00:29:39,535
That's what happened.
We intended to take care of you.

456
00:29:39,535 --> 00:29:43,175
But with Princess Lin'an there, we didn't get a chance.

457
00:29:43,175 --> 00:29:48,495
Later, she even sent us away, saying that she alone was enough.

458
00:29:52,555 --> 00:29:56,095
So it was Lin'an.

459
00:29:56,095 --> 00:29:57,994
Then why didn't I see her?

460
00:29:57,994 --> 00:30:00,115
She took meticulous care of you
for two days and nights.

461
00:30:00,115 --> 00:30:02,695
But after all, this is against propriety.

462
00:30:02,695 --> 00:30:04,211
Yes, indeed.

463
00:30:14,555 --> 00:30:16,243
Leave.

464
00:30:35,331 --> 00:30:36,234
Mother.

465
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:38,635
- Lin'an.
- It hurts.

466
00:30:39,714 --> 00:30:43,880
Lin'an, as a princess and still unmarried,

467
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,970
how could you be here
taking care of a young man?

468
00:30:45,970 --> 00:30:49,934
And you were even lying by his side.

469
00:30:49,934 --> 00:30:51,260
You were alone in the room.

470
00:30:51,260 --> 00:30:53,194
If word gets out,
how will you marry in the future?

471
00:30:53,194 --> 00:30:57,155
Mother, Xu Qi'an is my guest scholar, and he has made meritorious deeds
to the country.

472
00:30:57,155 --> 00:30:58,355
I am a princess.

473
00:30:58,355 --> 00:31:01,730
Both publicly and privately,
I should wait by his side until he wakes up

474
00:31:01,730 --> 00:31:03,250
to ensure that he is unharmed.

475
00:31:03,254 --> 00:31:04,851
Mother.

476
00:31:05,474 --> 00:31:08,234
Lin'an, I will have someone guard here.

477
00:31:08,234 --> 00:31:09,714
Don't worry.

478
00:31:09,714 --> 00:31:12,214
But it's really not appropriate
for you to be here.

479
00:31:12,214 --> 00:31:14,974
Mother, I will take her back.

480
00:31:18,754 --> 00:31:20,499
How is he?

481
00:31:22,994 --> 00:31:26,374
Mr. Zhao says he's fine.

482
00:31:46,075 --> 00:31:47,755
I see.

483
00:31:47,755 --> 00:31:50,954
I heard that Lin'an was grounded
after being taken back.

484
00:31:50,954 --> 00:31:52,954
I'm not sure how she is now.

485
00:31:52,954 --> 00:31:56,954
Ningyan, she did all that for you.

486
00:32:01,143 --> 00:32:01,994
<i>[Shaoyin Palace]</i>

487
00:32:01,994 --> 00:32:03,835
- Really?
- Absolutely.

488
00:32:03,835 --> 00:32:06,274
Our people say that Mr. Xu is in high spirits.

489
00:32:06,274 --> 00:32:09,814
After reporting back to the Guardians,
he returned to the Xu family.

490
00:32:09,814 --> 00:32:12,634
Not only that, there's even better news.

491
00:32:12,634 --> 00:32:13,894
There's even better news?

492
00:32:13,894 --> 00:32:15,690
Just now, on my way back,

493
00:32:15,690 --> 00:32:18,670
I ran into Eunuch Yang hurrying to the Hanlin Academy.

494
00:32:18,675 --> 00:32:19,840
I asked and found out

495
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,850
that he went to order the drafting of a decree
to reward Mr. Xu.

496
00:32:22,850 --> 00:32:25,675
And it's a significant reward.

497
00:32:32,754 --> 00:32:35,975
What reward? Come on, tell me.

498
00:32:35,975 --> 00:32:38,415
What do you guess, Your Highness?

499
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:41,075
Now you're playing coy with me.

500
00:32:41,075 --> 00:32:44,055
I heard that Mr. Xu asked
for the reward personally.

501
00:32:44,055 --> 00:32:46,875
He requested the title of a viscount.

502
00:32:57,675 --> 00:32:59,754
A viscount title?

503
00:32:59,754 --> 00:33:03,975
Yes, and His Majesty
has already granted his approval.

504
00:33:07,395 --> 00:33:11,674
He listened. He listened.

505
00:33:11,674 --> 00:33:14,675
I'm not talking nonsense.

506
00:33:14,675 --> 00:33:18,754
I asked for that title for you, Cijiu.

507
00:33:18,754 --> 00:33:20,567
Me?

508
00:33:21,514 --> 00:33:24,954
At first, I too couldn't see the reasoning
behind it.

509
00:33:24,954 --> 00:33:26,915
It was Princess Lin'an who reminded me.

510
00:33:26,915 --> 00:33:29,115
If our family wants to establish a foothold,

511
00:33:29,115 --> 00:33:33,200
merely relying on my connections
with Lin'an and Huaiqing

512
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,850
is not stable enough.

513
00:33:34,855 --> 00:33:38,115
The significance of this title
does not lie in power.

514
00:33:38,115 --> 00:33:39,894
Do you know what it lies in?

515
00:33:39,894 --> 00:33:43,474
It lies in honor and social status.

516
00:33:43,474 --> 00:33:46,995
No, you little fool.

517
00:33:46,995 --> 00:33:48,970
It lies in the fact that you and Miss Simu

518
00:33:48,970 --> 00:33:52,490
no longer have a chasm between your statuses.

519
00:33:53,155 --> 00:33:54,395
Qi'an.

520
00:33:54,395 --> 00:33:56,755
I can only help you up to this point.

521
00:33:56,755 --> 00:34:00,234
You all should try to make me proud.

522
00:34:00,234 --> 00:34:03,174
Yet, you all received the gifts happily.

523
00:34:06,714 --> 00:34:08,503
Give it to me.

524
00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:12,494
The blade.

525
00:34:15,115 --> 00:34:19,115
You received the gifts happily without considering my identity as a Guardian.

526
00:34:19,115 --> 00:34:21,330
With so many gifts of considerable value,

527
00:34:21,330 --> 00:34:22,710
how am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Wei?

528
00:34:22,714 --> 00:34:24,754
Aren't you worrying about me being impeached?

529
00:34:24,754 --> 00:34:29,055
Now I have to run to Haoqi Tower
to register them.

530
00:34:29,055 --> 00:34:34,335
Neither the title nor the impeachment matters anymore.

531
00:34:34,874 --> 00:34:39,475
Back at the Star-Gazing Tower, Dad embarrassed us a lot already.

532
00:34:39,475 --> 00:34:43,814
Nonsense! How come I embarrassed this family?

533
00:34:43,814 --> 00:34:46,500
That day, other than greeting Mr. Wei,

534
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,330
I spent the whole time
watching you sunder the avatar.

535
00:34:48,330 --> 00:34:50,175
I offended no one.

536
00:34:50,175 --> 00:34:52,075
Do you know who was sitting next to you?

537
00:34:52,075 --> 00:34:54,194
Who? It's just some old man.

538
00:34:54,194 --> 00:34:55,694
Some old man?

539
00:34:55,694 --> 00:34:59,514
That's Simu's father and the current Chief Minister, Wang Zhenwen.

540
00:35:00,515 --> 00:35:07,355
To tell the truth, Chief Minister Wang is to be my future in-law.

541
00:35:09,194 --> 00:35:13,255
What's wrong? Slow down and don't be choked.

542
00:35:22,075 --> 00:35:23,595
What are they talking about?

543
00:35:23,595 --> 00:35:25,614
Can you hear?

544
00:35:25,614 --> 00:35:27,940
It seems they're saying
that when Qi'an was in the academy,

545
00:35:27,940 --> 00:35:29,670
a girl took special care of him.

546
00:35:29,674 --> 00:35:31,607
A girl?

547
00:35:33,475 --> 00:35:37,995
It's the girl who had brought the medicine
before he sundered the avatar.

548
00:35:40,955 --> 00:35:44,874
What a pity.
We didn't get to meet her back then.

549
00:35:44,874 --> 00:35:47,995
That girl's family must also be reputable.

550
00:35:47,995 --> 00:35:51,274
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so generous.

551
00:35:51,274 --> 00:35:53,615
Mother, your judgment is sharp.

552
00:35:53,615 --> 00:35:55,374
Indeed, they are prominent.

553
00:35:55,374 --> 00:35:57,055
What does her family do?

554
00:35:57,055 --> 00:35:59,015
They also hold an official position.

555
00:35:59,015 --> 00:36:00,234
Yes.

556
00:36:00,234 --> 00:36:03,994
Then it must be
a high-ranking official position.

557
00:36:03,994 --> 00:36:05,715
It's quite high-ranking.

558
00:36:07,035 --> 00:36:09,935
How high-ranking?

559
00:36:10,595 --> 00:36:12,274
Let me put it this way.

560
00:36:12,274 --> 00:36:14,575
Dad is an Imperial Sword Guard, and it's a seventh-rank position.

561
00:36:14,575 --> 00:36:15,995
Mother, you know this, right?

562
00:36:15,995 --> 00:36:17,914
Of course.

563
00:36:17,914 --> 00:36:23,395
His father is probably seven ranks higher
than Dad.

564
00:36:23,395 --> 00:36:25,655
Seven ranks higher…

565
00:36:28,035 --> 00:36:30,734
Seven ranks higher?

566
00:36:31,874 --> 00:36:33,955
Seven ranks higher?!

567
00:36:37,794 --> 00:36:40,494
A princess?

568
00:36:48,794 --> 00:36:53,095
W-Well, I didn't know who he was.

569
00:36:53,095 --> 00:36:55,994
Besides, ignorance is no fault.

570
00:36:55,994 --> 00:36:59,595
That old man doesn't seem to be petty-minded.

571
00:36:59,595 --> 00:37:00,894
How about this?

572
00:37:00,894 --> 00:37:03,014
I'll go and explain it to him for you.

573
00:37:03,014 --> 00:37:05,695
Father, please don't go.

574
00:37:05,695 --> 00:37:08,274
You'd help just by not causing trouble.

575
00:37:08,274 --> 00:37:10,014
How can that be called causing trouble?

576
00:37:10,014 --> 00:37:13,515
We might even enjoy a pleasant chat. It could be a blessing in disguise.

577
00:37:13,515 --> 00:37:15,994
Do you know what this is? It's "arrogance of the old".

578
00:37:15,994 --> 00:37:17,955
What do you mean by "arrogance of the old"?

579
00:37:17,955 --> 00:37:20,855
How could you speak to me like this?

580
00:37:20,855 --> 00:37:21,894
- Come here.
- I won't.

581
00:37:21,894 --> 00:37:24,451
- I need to have a serious talk
with you. Come on. Come in.
- Wait.

582
00:37:24,451 --> 00:37:27,074
What? We can clear things up by coming here?

583
00:37:40,955 --> 00:37:43,554
A single strike to split heaven and earth.

584
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:46,395
Slash!

585
00:37:53,635 --> 00:37:55,283
Lis…

586
00:38:17,555 --> 00:38:20,234
You feel very familiar to me.

587
00:38:20,234 --> 00:38:24,634
Can you tell me who I am?

588
00:38:34,174 --> 00:38:36,155
It should be so.

589
00:38:48,194 --> 00:38:51,575
Just now… what… What was that?

590
00:38:51,575 --> 00:38:53,794
Everything you have experienced.

591
00:38:53,794 --> 00:38:56,414
What I've experienced… what I've experienced…

592
00:38:56,414 --> 00:38:59,694
It seems… it seems…

593
00:38:59,694 --> 00:39:03,374
It seems I've been split into many parts.

594
00:39:03,374 --> 00:39:08,475
That woman… who is she?

595
00:39:10,174 --> 00:39:14,735
She's the sovereign, right?

596
00:39:14,735 --> 00:39:16,515
She feels very familiar to me.

597
00:39:16,515 --> 00:39:20,194
Can you tell me who I am?

598
00:39:21,075 --> 00:39:23,034
Now is not the time yet.

599
00:39:24,115 --> 00:39:26,654
Your primordial spirit is incomplete.

600
00:39:26,654 --> 00:39:29,494
You have to wait until it's fully nurtured.

601
00:39:29,494 --> 00:39:32,774
Then you can remember everything.

602
00:39:32,774 --> 00:39:36,355
Nurture… incomplete primordial spirit…

603
00:39:44,075 --> 00:39:45,847
Where am I?

604
00:39:54,914 --> 00:39:58,255
- Have I made it clear?
- Yes.

605
00:39:58,255 --> 00:40:01,594
Why do you know that Shenshu is within me?

606
00:40:02,915 --> 00:40:08,575
Are you saying Shenshu resides within someone called Xu Qi'an?

607
00:40:08,575 --> 00:40:13,820
Even so why have you come to inform us?

608
00:40:14,434 --> 00:40:18,895
There is something
on Xu Qi'an that belongs to me.

609
00:40:20,095 --> 00:40:21,847
It's a trade.

610
00:40:22,754 --> 00:40:25,995
That's right. Shenshu is yours.

611
00:40:25,995 --> 00:40:29,574
And Xu Qi'an is mine.

612
00:40:42,334 --> 00:40:46,315
Master, who exactly was the man
in the black robe?

613
00:40:49,135 --> 00:40:51,855
The man in the black robe has profound skills.

614
00:40:51,855 --> 00:40:53,435
The only thing that can be certain is

615
00:40:53,435 --> 00:40:55,635
that he is Linghui Master of Wizard Cult.

616
00:40:55,635 --> 00:40:57,675
He told us about Shenshu

617
00:40:57,675 --> 00:41:00,655
because he wanted to force us
to start a war with Jian Zheng

618
00:41:00,655 --> 00:41:03,194
so he can seize the chance
to take you out of Dafeng.

619
00:41:04,554 --> 00:41:10,174
I entrust Shenshu to you.

620
00:41:10,174 --> 00:41:11,314
To me?

621
00:41:11,314 --> 00:41:13,575
He's recovering very well.

622
00:41:13,575 --> 00:41:15,834
He will reappear in the human world soon

623
00:41:15,834 --> 00:41:18,795
to complete all that he should.

624
00:41:18,795 --> 00:41:24,314
This is all because your fortune nourishes him.

625
00:41:24,314 --> 00:41:28,595
So, the man in the black robe wants the fortune within me.

626
00:41:30,014 --> 00:41:34,174
Therefore, I advise that before Shenshu reappears,

627
00:41:34,174 --> 00:41:36,955
you must not leave Dafeng.

628

<i>♫ Don't bother asking how I've traveled here ♫</i>

638
00:42:29,143 --> 00:42:31,048
<i>♫ In this world, I'm filled
with passion and motivation ♫</i>

639
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:32,819
<i>♫ Wielding a sword,
wearing a cloak, treading on dust ♫</i>

640
00:42:32,819 --> 00:42:35,114
<i>♫ Each step brings a blast of wind ♫</i>

641
00:42:35,114 --> 00:42:36,774
<i>♫ Stay away from the common world ♫</i>

642
00:42:36,774 --> 00:42:39,050
<i>♫ Never to sink with it ♫</i>

643
00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:40,987
<i>♫ Living care freely ♫</i>

644
00:42:40,987 --> 00:42:43,134
<i>♫ Accommodating people with a smile ♫</i>

645
00:42:43,134 --> 00:42:45,350
<i>♫ Want me to confound right and wrong ♫</i>

646
00:42:45,350 --> 00:42:48,382
<i>♫ Forgive me, never ♫</i>

647
00:42:57,866 --> 00:42:59,886
<i>♫ No matter who comes ♫</i>

648
00:42:59,886 --> 00:43:01,725

649
00:43:01,725 --> 00:43:03,842

650
00:43:03,842 --> 00:43:05,789
<i>♫ Only me getting excited ♫</i>

651
00:43:05,789 --> 00:43:07,807
<i>♫ Only pursue the fairness ♫</i>

652
00:43:07,807 --> 00:43:09,771
<i>♫ Never bend to the officials ♫</i>

653
00:43:09,771 --> 00:43:11,746
<i>♫ The profound mysteries in the Jianghu ♫</i>

654
00:43:11,746 --> 00:43:15,158
<i>♫ With the chivalry and the youth as a weapon ♫</i>

655
00:43:15,158 --> 00:43:17,032
<i>♫ The bright mirror is inlaid with frets ♫</i>

656
00:43:17,032 --> 00:43:19,004
<i>♫ The night breeze goes with the time ♫</i>

657
00:43:19,004 --> 00:43:21,138
<i>♫ Shallow dreams blow out my lantern ♫</i>

658
00:43:21,138 --> 00:43:23,090
<i>♫ Looking back, illuminating the front door.
The sound lingers in my ears ♫</i>

659
00:43:23,090 --> 00:43:25,068
<i>♫ With me in this world ♫</i>

660
00:43:25,068 --> 00:43:27,118
<i>♫ The long night is like near dawn ♫</i>

661
