Who are you?

189
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:18,840
Why are you alone in this deep forest?

190
00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:31,520
Whose blood is this?

191
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:38,810
Mine. I got hurt.

192
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:44,330
Tell me, what did you see?

193
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:49,290
So cold. He's casting a spell on me.

194
00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:55,930
Mr. Zhenyun,

195
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:57,880
she's just an ordinary person.

196
00:15:58,350 --> 00:16:00,170
She can't handle your verbal command spell.

197
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:05,120
Don't be scared.

Where's your family?

199
00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:09,880
Why did you come into the mountains alone?

200
00:16:10,070 --> 00:16:12,970
I... I live up in the mountains with my master.

201
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:14,410
But my master disappeared.

202
00:16:14,830 --> 00:16:15,930
I've been looking for him everywhere.

203
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:18,480
I don't know... where he is.

204
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:21,410
Who's your master?

205
00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:24,570
Wu... Wu Gen.

206
00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:27,360
Wu Gen?

207
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:34,880
There are countless reclusive cultivators in this world.

208
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:39,410
This girl has a pure aura.

209
00:16:40,350 --> 00:16:42,970
She must be a good person.

Don't be afraid, child.

211
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:53,050
Did you see a white-furred fox spirit

212
00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:54,090
pass by just now?

213
00:17:01,070 --> 00:17:01,760
Where did it go?

214
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:02,880
There!

216

And now you've been badly wounded by the fox.

Why are Longming Sanctuary's people

266

still hunting you?

267
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:57,370
I dragged Shanhua into this.

268
00:22:58,230 --> 00:23:00,850
It's because... I have a spiritual root.

269

274
00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:16,480
What a pity.

values etiquette above all.

557
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:27,290
After seeing how you conduct yourself today,

558
00:40:28,830 --> 00:40:31,930
it seems the rumors can't be trusted.

559
00:40:32,180 --> 00:40:32,850
How dare you!

560
00:40:33,180 --> 00:40:35,120
You lowlife dare to insult our state?

561
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:35,890
You're asking for it!

562
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:37,290
Forget it.

563
00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:39,850
Can't win with words so you're ganging up? Bring it on!

564
00:40:39,870 --> 00:40:40,290
Bring it...

565
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:41,000
Yeah, bring it on!

566
00:40:47,540 --> 00:40:49,930
Move! Get out of the way!

567
00:40:51,310 --> 00:40:53,680
Seriously, it stinks... back there.

568
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:01,480
I'm broke

569
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:02,770
after paying the exam fee.

570
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:05,600
We'll have to crash here for a few nights.

571
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:09,520
It's you guys?

572
00:41:14,580 --> 00:41:16,680
Thank you for pushing that manure cart.

573
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:18,560
That spoiled princess got humiliated.

574
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:20,560
By the way, what should we call you?

575
00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:23,560
I'm Xiaobangchui. And you three are...?

576
00:41:24,750 --> 00:41:25,520
Xiaobangchui.

577
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:27,000
I'm Baili Changyue.

578
00:41:27,140 --> 00:41:28,600
This is my sister, Baili Gelin.

579
00:41:30,540 --> 00:41:31,290
I'm Ye Ye.

580
00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:32,930
I'm Gelin and Changyue's cousin.

581
00:41:33,540 --> 00:41:35,520
You're cousins?

582
00:41:57,790 --> 00:41:58,370
Here.

583
00:42:09,950 --> 00:42:11,040
- Slow down. - It's tasty.

584
00:42:11,910 --> 00:42:12,930
So delicious.

585
00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:14,000
It's my cooking, after all.

586
00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:15,450
Haven't had such a good meal in ages.

587
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:24,850
Who's there?
