Spirit Slay!

00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:35,780
Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan!

7
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,220
The suicide-for-all spell.

8
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,810
I underestimated you.

9
00:01:48,470 --> 00:01:49,500
The spirit energy can't flow through.

10
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,620
His spirit meridians are broken with critical internal wounds.

11
00:01:58,110 --> 00:02:00,940
The Divine Tree is his only hope to live.

12
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,940
Nonsense!

13
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,420
You're the one who's doomed!

14
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,090
Worthless trash,

15
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,580
die together.

16
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:22,940
Lifei, are you alright?

17
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:25,460
Take care of Xiuyuan.

18
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:27,500
Since you beg for death,

19
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:29,530
I shall oblige.

20
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,900
Five Elements Merge, Demon-Subduing.

21
00:04:22,030 --> 00:04:23,060
Pointless struggle.

22
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:26,770
Villain, Mr. Zuo Qiu won't spare you!

23
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,690
When I find the Divine Tree,

24
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:32,660
I'll fear no one!

25
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,370
Such surging spirit energy.

26
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,450
Finally, you revealed yourself.

27
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,890
If you'd been any later, we'd have been dead.

28
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:14,210
My wounds haven't fully healed,

29
00:05:14,350 --> 00:05:15,540
yet I had to save you.

30
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,300
Do you know how much cultivation I lost?

31
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,420
I'm going to rest.

32
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:19,980
Don't come to me in a year or half.

33
00:05:20,590 --> 00:05:22,210
Wait, please save Xiuyuan!

34
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:24,450
His meridians are shattered, and his spirit root is ruined.

35
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,500
There's nothing I can do.

36
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:26,770
Let fate take its course.

37
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:28,500
What?

38
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:31,060
No, he mustn't die!

39
00:05:31,390 --> 00:05:32,130
Save him.

40
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:34,770
Save him, please.

41
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,740
Head to Qingqiu.

42
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,180
The Ganhua Realm holds what can heal him.

43
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:40,690
Qingqiu?

44
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:42,060
Wait.

45
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:44,370
Where

46
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,980
is the Ganhua Realm, Riyan?

47
00:05:52,470 --> 00:05:53,250
You mustn't die!

48
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,740
I'll save you.

49
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,100
Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan!

50
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,210
- Lifei? - Lifei?

51
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,300
Xiuyuan.

52
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,660
What's wrong with him?

53
00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:14,100
Let's hurry back to the academy.

54
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:17,130
Don't bother.

55
00:06:19,150 --> 00:06:19,810
Mr. Hu.

56
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,420
Find a place to bury him.

57
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,620
If you won't save him, I will!

58
00:06:25,390 --> 00:06:27,130
Head back to Qingqiu. I have a way to heal him.

59
00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:28,420
I'm coming with you. Go.

60
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,330
Mr. Hu, Xiuyuan is on the brink of death.

61
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,620
We'll take him to Qingqiu.

62
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:35,500
Once things calm down,

63
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:37,250
we'll go to the academy to plead guilty.

64
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,620
We beg for your permission.

65
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,420
One's fate is predetermined.

66
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,010
What if you fail to save him?

67
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,010
As his fellow disciples,

68
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:51,330
we should stand together through hardship and do our best.

69
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,740
If we get expelled from the academy for this,

70
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,250
we'll accept it without regret.

71
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:56,500
Yes.

72
00:06:57,790 --> 00:06:58,330
That's right.

73
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:08,660
Xiuyuan!

74
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,180
Xiuyuan!

75
00:07:09,790 --> 00:07:10,570
What are you doing?

76
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:16,740
Lifei, Mr. Hu is saving him.

77
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,690
I've stabilized his heart meridians for now.

78
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:26,180
He won‘t be dead in at least three stays,

79
00:07:27,150 --> 00:07:29,890
but what happens later depends on his fate.

80
00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:33,100
I'll cover for you with the academy.

81
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,770
Bring him back safe once you cure him.

82
00:07:36,470 --> 00:07:39,010
You're too young to stay outside alone.

83
00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:45,500
What does he mean?

84
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,660
Is he going to cover for us?

85
00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:49,860
Never mind. Save Xiuyuan first.

86
00:07:53,590 --> 00:07:54,100
Let's go.

87
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:13,890
Your Highness,

88
00:08:14,350 --> 00:08:15,890
your cultivation is astonishing now.

89
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,330
Like our teachers,

90
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,450
you can weave a spirit energy barrier for healing.

91
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:21,540
The Zhurong Stone is powerful.

92
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,690
It can sustain spirit energy,

93
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,500
barely enough to last for a few hours.

94
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:29,060
A few hours? Exactly how long?

95
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:29,890
Don't worry.

96
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:32,500
Xiuyuan is out of immediate danger.

97
00:08:33,270 --> 00:08:34,180
Stay here and look after him.

98
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,420
We'll search for the Ganhua Realm.

99
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,090
I can search.

100
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:41,810
Lifei, your spirit power is faint,

101
00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:43,730
and you've channeled energy to Xiuyuan nonstop.

102
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:45,660
You can barely stand right now.

103
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,570
Yeah.

104
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,660
There's plenty of medicinal herbs here.

105
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,330
Lifei, boil some nourishing medicine.

106
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:52,380
We'll be back soon.

107
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,210
Qingqiu's mountains are steep, filled with spirits,

108
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:58,730
but most mean no harm.

109
00:08:59,110 --> 00:09:00,540
If you run into trouble,

110
00:09:01,230 --> 00:09:02,690
tell them you're Xiaobangchui's friends.

111
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:03,810
Stay safe.

112
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:05,540
Okay.

113
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,730
When my master and I traveled,

114
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,090
we lodged in inns with money, and shrines without.

115
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:31,260
After coming back to Qingqiu,

116
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,940
we spent two to three months

117
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,690
rebuilding this wooden house.

118
00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:39,020
This is our only home.

119
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,300
No outsiders have set foot here.

120
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:42,810
You're our first visitor,

121
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,940
but look at you, bedridden as soon as you arrived.

122
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:02,730
Are you crazy?

123
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:05,570
Why risk your life saving me time and again?

124
00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:16,780
Giving up saving your brother?

125
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:21,940
Why treat me so well?

126
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:45,660
My master said never owe anyone a favor.

127
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:49,570
I'll help rescue him

128
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,380
once you recover, okay?

129
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:06,610
Found nothing?

130
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:10,540
We searched every spirit spot

131
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:11,180
across Qingqiu,

132
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:13,730
yet sensed no spot with strange spirit energy.

133
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:18,180
Lifei, living here ages,

134
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:19,940
don't you know the Ganhua Realm?

135
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:25,260
Who told you about it?

136
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:27,330
Does the Ganhua Realm truly exist?

137
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:32,780
Say something!

138
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:37,940
As a hidden secret realm,

139
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:39,140
it can't be easily

140
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,090
tracked down.

141
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,730
It's fine. I'll search tomorrow morning again.

142
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:47,210
But Mr. Hu warned

143
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:49,140
that Xiuyuan only has three days to live.

144
00:11:49,470 --> 00:11:51,180
A day and a half have passed, and you...

145
00:11:54,940 --> 00:11:55,490
Xiuyuan!

146
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:57,060
Xiuyuan!

147
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:17,610
I'm going out to search now.

148
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:20,140
Lifei.

149
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:37,380
None of you know where the Ganhua Realm is?

150
00:12:39,830 --> 00:12:40,450
Wait.

151
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:53,970
Tell

152
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:55,780
every spirit and monster you can find

153
00:12:56,110 --> 00:12:57,380
that I'll offer anything

154
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,140
in exchange for clues.

155
00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:10,450
Lifei.

156
00:13:14,110 --> 00:13:15,260
Your spirit power is long exhausted.

157
00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:17,940
Keep this up, and you'll collapse next.

158
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,660
Tongzhou,

159
00:13:20,510 --> 00:13:22,540
what if the Ganhua Realm isn't real?

160
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,260
Who told you

161
00:13:28,110 --> 00:13:29,330
it can save Xiuyuan?

162
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,260
My friend.

163
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,730
But what if I misheard?

164
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:38,850
What if we never find it?

165
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:40,780
Will Xiuyuan die?

166
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,300
We'll find it for sure.

167
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:48,610
We can use herbs, channel spirit energy,

168
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,490
and try every possible means

169
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:52,020
to save him.

170
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,690
You're just comforting me.

171
00:13:59,630 --> 00:14:00,300
I don't need empty words.

172
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,260
Only one day left.

173
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,610
I'll find it.

174
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,810
I'll definitely locate the Ganhua Realm.

175
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:10,610
Lifei.

176
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,940
I picked some healing herbs

177
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,090
for Xiuyuan.

178
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:37,900
Changyue.

179
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,060
Xiuyuan!

180
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:44,330
Xiuyuan!

181
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,260
His pulse is far too faint.

182
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:49,850
He was supposed to last another day.

183
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:27,970
I'll offer anything

184
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,610
in exchange for clues.

185
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,610
Those spirits crave my blood.

186
00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:40,940
Yeah. My blood might work.

187
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:49,970
Drink it.

188
00:15:56,750 --> 00:15:59,020
Drink it.

Lei Xiuyuan!

194
00:17:05,230 --> 00:17:06,180
This won't do.

195
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,450
Is there any other way?

196
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:09,250
Lifei. Lifei!

197
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,580
Essence and Qi form the Core. Take the Inner Core out of the body...

198
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,530
The Ten Forbidden Arts of Sorcerers.

199
00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:48,860
What's this?

200
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,620
You can't just take your inner core out.

201
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:54,770
To save him,

202
00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:56,730
you'd believe any crooked forbidden trick?

203
00:17:56,750 --> 00:17:57,620
Are you throwing your life away?

204
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,180
You want to trade your life for Xiuyuan's,

205
00:17:59,710 --> 00:18:00,940
but he would never allow it.

206
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:08,770
No matter what we try, nothing works.

207
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:11,340
But the three days will be up soon.

208
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:13,210
What can we do?

209
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,100
Qingqiu swarms with spirits,

210
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,940
so ordinary people cannot dwell here.

211
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,770
Your master kept you safe here all these years,

212
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,340
so he must be a hidden expert.

213
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:28,770
Did he ever mention

214
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,210
healing herbs

215
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:32,210
or any special land?

00:18:33,550 --> 00:18:36,010
[Young Lifei]
Xiaobangchui, don't worry.

217
00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:37,730
I'll find a way to heal you.

218
00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:44,580
I remember now.

219
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:54,580
It's right over there,

220
00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:56,860
but I can't recall the entrance.

221
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,820
If the Ganhua Realm holds mysterious power,

222
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:00,340
its terrain must carry clues.

223
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:02,820
My master always said yin and yang coexist.

224
00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:04,770
The void is substance. Emptiness is fullness.

225
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:06,900
Be careful.

226
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,450
Let's check it down there.

227
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,730
Stars?

228
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,530
These look like islands.

229
00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:28,010
Legends say thousands of isles lie beyond the sea,

230
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,140
yet there are far more here than that.

231
00:19:38,340 --> 00:19:39,450
Testing each one

232
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,420
would take a whole day.

233
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,970
Dawn draws near. Xiuyuan can't wait that long.

234
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:46,050
Try them now.

235
00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:09,940

236
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:11,940

he lived safely in spirit-infested Qingqiu,

374
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,180
while hiding from the world, concealing his identity,

375
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,770
and knowing all about overseas lands.

376
00:33:59,310 --> 00:33:59,970
Who exactly

377
00:34:01,310 --> 00:34:02,250
is he?

378
00:34:06,990 --> 00:34:08,420
The Mid-autumn Festival is almost here.

379
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:10,180
Why hasn't Tongzhou come back yet?

380
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,940
Our teacher told you

381
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,450
that Mr. Zuo sent him to visit a master.

382
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:16,740
In this world,

383
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,570
there can't be many masters

384
00:34:18,590 --> 00:34:19,610
stronger than Mr. Xuanshan.

385
00:34:20,110 --> 00:34:22,050
Besides, why can Lifei go,

386
00:34:22,070 --> 00:34:23,300
but I'm not allowed to go along?

387
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,900
Well...

388
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,090
Youran,

389
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,780
do you know

390
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,740
when Tongzhou will return?

391
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:35,450
The master thought they were outstanding talents,

392
00:34:35,470 --> 00:34:36,570
so they kept them for a few extra days.

393
00:34:38,150 --> 00:34:40,490
A master? What master?

394
00:34:40,670 --> 00:34:42,420
What's their name? Which sect do they belong to?

395
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,490
A true master's identity is never to be revealed.

396
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,050
Master.

397
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,090
This chicken is acting weird today.

398
00:34:54,030 --> 00:34:56,450
If you don't tell me the truth,

399
00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:58,050
I'll pluck all its feathers out.

400
00:34:58,070 --> 00:34:59,940
Wait. Don't be rash!

401
00:34:59,990 --> 00:35:01,010
Calm down, please!

402
00:35:01,030 --> 00:35:02,010
Don't act recklessly.

403
00:35:02,030 --> 00:35:03,220
Calm down?

404
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:05,170
I'm really going to pluck it.

405
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:06,220
Your Ladyship.

406
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:07,570
Your Ladyship.

407
00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:09,490
Your Ladyship.

408
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,490
It bit me!

409
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:11,970
Your Ladyship.

410
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:14,090
A mere chicken dares to attack me!

411
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,260
I told you to calm down.

412
00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:19,130
So young yet so fiery,

413
00:35:19,420 --> 00:35:20,570
you may not grow taller.

414
00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:22,300
Are you alright?

415
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:24,010
Lifei, let me handle this.

416
00:35:24,670 --> 00:35:25,300
Be careful.

417
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:28,010
Come on, let's eat.

418
00:35:28,820 --> 00:35:30,970
I'll show you my signature dishes.

419
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:34,050
This is Nectar Radish Soup.

420
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:35,650
This exquisite carving

421
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,530
is Fortune Rolling Radish.

422
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,570
When I have time, I'll make my ultimate specialty

423
00:35:42,860 --> 00:35:45,340
that goes perfectly with three steamed buns at a go.

424
00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:46,420
What?

425
00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:47,300
What's that?

426
00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:48,700
What is it?

427
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:51,220
Marinated radish and soy pickled radish.

428
00:35:56,470 --> 00:35:58,220
Now I get why your master

429
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,610
called you Xiaobangchui.

430
00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:02,050
These radishes look just like mallets, which represent your previous name.

431
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:04,570
No, my master called me Xiaobangchui

432
00:36:04,980 --> 00:36:06,740
because when he found me by the river,

433
00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:08,130
a young woman was beating clothes

434
00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:09,780
with a wooden mallet.

435
00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:11,090
She was breathtakingly beautiful.

436
00:36:11,470 --> 00:36:12,610
My master wanted to remember her,

437
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:13,860
so he called me Xiaobangchui.

438
00:36:16,670 --> 00:36:17,420
That story fits well.

439
00:36:29,470 --> 00:36:31,650
Lifei, do you have any other kin?

440
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:34,450
I do, six of them.

441
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:36,130
Where are they?

442
00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:39,260
One is my senior brother, whom I've never met.

443
00:36:39,550 --> 00:36:40,970
I have no clue where he is.

444
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:43,490
As for the other five,

445
00:36:43,630 --> 00:36:44,740
they're right here with me.

446
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:01,380
My master once said

447
00:37:01,550 --> 00:37:03,530
that in the restless world, people are unfeeling.

448
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:05,450
Most only chase luck and flee misfortune.

449
00:37:06,110 --> 00:37:08,860
A person who treats you faithfully amid hardship

450
00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:11,170
and stands by you unto death surpasses your family.

451
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:15,780
Lifei is right.

452
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:17,970
From this day on,

453
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:20,420
we're like family, bound as siblings.

454
00:37:20,670 --> 00:37:21,970
Yes, family.

455
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:30,820
Since we're family,

456
00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:35,300
I have a truth to confess to you today.

457
00:37:57,150 --> 00:38:00,970
I am the Crown Prince of Gaolu,

458
00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:05,260
whom Zong Quan has long sought to wipe out entirely.

459
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:22,420
Over the years,

460
00:38:24,110 --> 00:38:24,940
Xiuyuan has endured

461
00:38:26,190 --> 00:38:27,380
all the suffering for me.

462
00:38:35,470 --> 00:38:37,650
States across the Central Plains have waged wars for a hundred years.

463
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,450
For every key imperial heir,

464
00:38:39,980 --> 00:38:41,090
a child of the same age

465
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:43,090
is arranged from childhood

466
00:38:43,110 --> 00:38:43,820
as their body double.

467
00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:47,650
Xiuyuan must be Ye Ye's double.

468
00:38:53,340 --> 00:38:54,170
No blame falls on Ye Ye.

469
00:38:55,340 --> 00:38:57,610
Such imperial secrets are hard to speak aloud.

470
00:38:58,990 --> 00:39:00,260
Yet Xiuyuan bore the harder lot.

471
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:03,170
Facing death time and again, he never revealed his true identity.

472
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:08,650
Xiuyuan, I‘m sorry.

473
00:39:09,070 --> 00:39:10,340
Had I told the truth earlier,

474
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,420
Zong Quan wouldn't have hunted you relentlessly.

475
00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:12,900
I...

476
00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:15,740
What he's done has nothing to do with you.

477
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:27,610
Ye Ye,

478
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:30,900
we have survived all the horrors,

479
00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:34,700
so let's not dwell on the past.

480
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:35,900
Xiuyuan.

481
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,340
We've grown up, and we're all still alive.

482
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:41,420
That is enough.

483
00:39:43,150 --> 00:39:45,220
You're right, no more looking back.

484
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:46,530
We must march forward.

485
00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:47,650
Look at us now.

486
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:49,650
We're all here together like a family.

487
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:51,050
We have food to eat and a school to attend.

488
00:39:52,110 --> 00:39:52,970
Dig in, quick!

489
00:39:52,990 --> 00:39:54,860
My radish soup has gone cold. Come on.

490
00:39:58,380 --> 00:39:58,820
This

491
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,940
God of Wealth statue is definitely for Tongzhou.

492
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:08,780
Alright.

493
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:10,940
If you ask of me, whatever I possess,

494
00:40:11,380 --> 00:40:12,300
I'll give every last bit to you.

495
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:16,220
No surprise they call you cash...

496
00:40:21,550 --> 00:40:22,420
A walking God of Wealth.

497
00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:26,380
Wait.

498
00:40:27,990 --> 00:40:30,050
Did you see me as a cash cow from the very start?

499
00:40:30,670 --> 00:40:31,610
Never!

500
00:40:32,460 --> 00:40:34,570
I've always treated Your Highness with sincerity.

501
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:41,220
Eat more, go on.

502
00:40:41,860 --> 00:40:42,970
Try this dish.

503
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:44,970
Lifei, you're truly skilled at cooking.

504
00:40:44,990 --> 00:40:46,300
- Here. - This radish tastes incredible.

505
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:47,940
- Xiuyuan. Have a bowl of soup first. - So tasty.

506
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:50,450
This one's delicious too, Changyue.

507
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:52,170
Tongzhou, let me serve you another bowl.

508
00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:53,010
Have some too.

509
00:40:57,470 --> 00:40:59,260
Only the power of a fox spirit can save him.

510
00:41:00,110 --> 00:41:01,340
The sooner you catch the fox spirit,

511
00:41:01,550 --> 00:41:03,220
the sooner you'll see Mr. Lu.

512
00:41:03,980 --> 00:41:06,050
A person who treats you faithfully amid hardship

513
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:08,820
and stands by you unto death surpasses your family.

514
00:41:09,190 --> 00:41:09,860
Right.

515
00:41:10,510 --> 00:41:13,340
From this day on, we are family.

516
00:41:21,340 --> 00:41:21,970
Xiuyuan.

517
00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:24,260
Xiuyuan!

518
00:41:27,470 --> 00:41:27,970
Look here.

519
00:41:28,780 --> 00:41:31,220
Listen, this rabbit stole my radishes.

520
00:41:31,340 --> 00:41:32,490
I tricked it down at last.

521
00:41:32,860 --> 00:41:34,780
Steal again, and I'll stew you with radishes!

522
00:41:42,380 --> 00:41:44,450
I just called you several times, and you didn't answer.

523
00:41:45,860 --> 00:41:46,970
Got something on your mind?
