[Moonlit Reunion]

2
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:38,900
[Episode 10]

3
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,960
Ms. Wu.

4
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,120
The Guardian Formation is ready.

5
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,520
The barrier is open.

6
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Get ready.

7
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,200
It's time.

8
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,880
Are you Xuan Hui?

9
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,480
It's me precisely.

10
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Cat!

11
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,440
On New Year's Eve

12
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:20,960
in the seventh year of Ren'an,

13
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,120
a great fire from the sky

14
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,880
burned down half of Chang'an.

15
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,720
The fire burned for three days
and three nights before it was quenched.

16
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Countless people in Chang'an

17
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,080
were injured.

18
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,440
There were

19
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,880
1,069 casualties.

20
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,760
There are many perplexities
in this case.

21
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,240
First,

22
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,920
a fire suddenly fell in Chang'an
from the sky,

23
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,360
and it couldn't be extinguished
with water.

24
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,480
Its source is unknown.

25
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Second,

26
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,640
during the three days the fire lasted,

27
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,480
massive people were injured,

28
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,200
but less than half
of the people died of it.

29
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,240
The coroner searched
all over these bodies,

30
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,200
but no scars were found.

31
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Third,

32
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:10,320
when Yamen interrogated the people,

33
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,640
several of them said they somehow
saw shadows of demons.

34
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,360
When asked for the details,

35
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,640
they didn't dare to say.

36
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Later, they turned their words
and denied the testimony.

37
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,080
These facts

38
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,960
are unusual.

39
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,400
It might be the demons' doing.

40
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,160
Chang'an has long had a legend
of the Demon Market

41
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,280
since ancient times.

42
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,640
Turns out it was caused
by the Demon Market.

43
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Shu.

44
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,760
- Wuzishu.
- Wuzishu.

45
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,680
What's wrong?

46
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,360
Shu.

47
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Ms. Liu actually likes demons.

48
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,640
This is so...

49
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Unique.

50
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,720
But are there demons in this world?

51
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,720
There should be.

52
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,440
I once saw one
in the Liu Mansion, didn't I?

53
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,800
White Snake just made it up,

54
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,040
but never showed me any of them.

55
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaking of the devil.

56
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,880
Another snake.

57
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,840
This...

58
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,000
How is he?

59
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,840
He's alright now.

60
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,560
At the moment, his mind is agitated.

61
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Just let him rest for a few days.

62
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,720
It's indeed a big scene today,

63
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,400
but Shu has always been calm.

64
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,960
How can he be shocked like that?

65
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Basically, Shu is a book.

66
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Maybe he was afraid

67
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,440
that the lightning
might set him on fire.

68
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,520
After all, it was the bones
of the malevolent one.

69
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,000
It carries an Evil Aura.

70
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Ling Xiao.

71
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Does he show anything unusual?

72
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600
I have checked him just now.

73
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,440
He didn't seem to be infected
by the Evil Aura.

74
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Cat Lord, you must be exhausted

75
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,680
by leading the lightning today.

76
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,000
Fortunately, it has passed.

77
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,280
We can rest well for a few days.

78
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,840
I'm afraid we can't.

79
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,800
Why?

80
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Ms. Wu.

81
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Remember what day it is tomorrow?

82
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,760
The Sky Lantern Festival.

83
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,000
I'm not going.

84
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Do you mean

85
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,480
there is a Demon Market in Chang'an?

86
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,040
It's recorded in the secret scroll
in the palace.

87
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,760
So I don't think
it's a groundless rumor.

88
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
We need to be more cautious
in the future.

89
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Find some clues to verify it.

90
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,320
Alright.

91
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,480
But Shi,

92
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,920
where are you going?

93
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,880
It's the Sky Lantern Festival today.

94
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,880
All the young nobles
and officials in Six Ministries

95
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,240
will release Sky Lanterns
in the imperial palace.

96
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,160
So you'll leave me alone?

97
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
I'm working so hard,
but you seem rather relaxed.

98
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,200
It's raining so heavily.

99
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,360
Why don't you help me?

100
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,280
You earned nothing but are still eating.

101
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Why blame me for the heavy rain?

102
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,280
Besides,

103
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,840
it's not that I don't want
to earn money.

104
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,440
I just don't know

105
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,720
how to do other work.

106
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,200
You...

107
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,160
Pour the water now!

108
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,800
Still eating?

109
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,640
Put it down!

110
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,040
You...

111
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,080
Isn't this Zhuyu's place?

112
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Mei Si.

113
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,560
Wenhua.

114
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,440
Is there a master
from the Changxi Palace?

115
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,840
No.

116
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,760
What are you doing here?

117
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840
I heard that there is a master here
who can exorcise evils and demons.

118
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Are you the master
from the Changxi Palace?

119
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Precisely.

120
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,440
[Duke of Wu's Mansion]

121
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,320
Ms. Wu.

122
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Ms. Wu.

123
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,920
It's the Sky Lantern Festival today.
You should wake up early.

124
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,480
It's time to wash up.

125
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,360
Ms. Wu.

126
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,960
It's almost the hour of Shen.

127
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,720
At least,

128
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840
you should get up and have something.

129
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Her Majesty is here!

130
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Ms. Wu...

131
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,120
My Lady.

132
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Zhen.

133
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,560
Where are you going in a hurry?

134
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,120
As the second daughter of the Duke of Wu

135
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,400
and my only sister,

136
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:10,960
you lead by example,

137
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,920
being noble and graceful.

138
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,720
But look at you now,

139
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,680
totally unconstrained.

140
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Your Majesty, don't be angry.

141
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,960
It's good that Ms. Wu is here.

142
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,800
The Sky Lantern Festival
is once in a year.

143
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,040
It's quite rare.

144
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,200
So you should come to make a wish.

145
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,760
Release the lantern and make a wish?

146
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,880
It's just like a daydream.

147
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Unrealistic.

148
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,920
Unrealistic?

149
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640
In your childhood, you fell gravely ill
and lay unconscious for three months.

150
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,480
Weren't it for the Sky Lantern Festival

151
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,040
when I prayed to heaven,

152
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,680
hoping that you could recover
from your serious illness,

153
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
you wouldn't have been safe
and lively now.

154
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,720
Sister, you are right.

155
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Ms. Wu, what's your wish?

156
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,680
I wish for a peaceful world.

157
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,400
A peaceful world?

158
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,920
I'd thank God
if you don't stir up chaos.

159
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Your Majesty.

160
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,000
Your Highness.

161
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,680
I'm Mei Zhuyu. Greetings, Your Majesty.

162
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Your Highness.

163
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,080
My Lady.

164
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:33,960
I heard you solved

165
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,960
two more cases recently.

166
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,680
You brought great honor
to our Mei family.

167
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,360
It's my duty.

168
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Mr. Mei.

169
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,720
Do you know
what the Sky Lantern Festival is?

170
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,840
It's an auspicious day
for people to pray for blessings.

171
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Don't worry, Your Majesty
and Your Highness.

172
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,560
I've already explained these to Zhuyu.

173
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:56,760
Zhuyu, what's your wish then?

174
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120
I wish for a propitious time

175
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,240
and a peaceful world.

176
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,040
- A peaceful world.
- A peaceful world.

177
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,080
Mr. Mei, you do care about the people.

178
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
You are a real gentleman.

179
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Sister.

180
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640
You are being obviously partial.

181
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,400
As for the belief in deities,

182
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:23,880
even if we don't do rituals usually,

183
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520
at critical moments,
we should still be in awe.

184
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,920
Especially now that you are
at the age for marriage,

185
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280
you should pray sincerely.

186
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,240
Let Sky Lanterns take your wishes
to the heavens.

187
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,800
When God sees them,

188
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,640
you will definitely get

189
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,400
a good lady

190
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,400
or a gentleman.

191
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,280
I hope the last-moment prayer
could work.

192
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,320
What...

193
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,840
I mean, I will be sincere.

194
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,720
This one is so big.

195
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,080
This is also good-looking.

196
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,120
This one is made of cloth,
and this, of paper.

197
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,920
It's just releasing the Sky Lanterns.

198
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,000
They put so much effort.

199
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,840
They choose a beautiful Sky Lantern

200
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,720
in the hope

201
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,320
that their Sky Lanterns can be seen
because of the good looks.

202
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240
It's just the playful nature
of young people.

203
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,760
But you are only in your twenties.

204
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,600
Ask yourself,

205
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,560
why don't you have such a nature?

206
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720
You said it's the nature
of young people.

207
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,440
As a centuries-old serpent demon,
why do you join this?

208
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Do you think I want it?

209
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Anyway, I am the daughter of a minister.

210
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,920
I have to pretend.

211
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Ms. Huzhu.

212
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400
Master Shuangjiang,
won't you join the Sky Lantern Festival?

213
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,280
I'm looking for demons.

214
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Did you just say

215
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,360
you were looking for demons?

216
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,760
Today, Mei Si said

217
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,400
he seemed to see the shadow of a demon.

218
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Just in case,

219
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,720
I came out to inspect again.

220
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,280
But along the way,

221
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,160
there doesn't seem
to be anything unusual.

222
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:35,760
Is your hand pricked?

223
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,960
Watch out, Ms. Huzhu! A demon!

224
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,720
Sorry, Ms. Huzhu.

225
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Are you alright?

226
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,800
I'm fine.

227
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Then I'll continue looking for demons.

228
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Master Shuangjiang.

229
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,800
It's not every day we have a festival.

230
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,800
Let's make Sky Lanterns together.

231
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Master Shuangjiang,
let's make Sky Lanterns together!

232
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,680
Yes, we made a lot of Sky Lanterns.

233
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,600
Let's go.

234
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:07,880
Come on.

235
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Mr. Mei, may I have a word with you?

236
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,600
Ms. Xie, what's the matter?

237
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,440
Mr. Mei, people have been talking
about you recently.

238
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,880
They say the best
among the young generation.

239
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,280
And that the Xuanjian Division
get back to its right way

240
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,960
because of your indispensable effort.

241
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,960
That's very kind of them.

242
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,160
Mr. Mei, you are a man of integrity.

243
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,920
I have something to say to you.

244
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Ms. Xie, do you have a case to report?

245
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,840
That's not it.

246
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,120
It's just that I've heard
too much of you,

247
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,680
and I can't help my feelings.

248
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,680
I really admired you, Mr. Mei.

249
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,520
In fact, there is something
you don't know.

250
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,200
My father treats me strictly.

251
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,400
If there is no banquet invitation,

252
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,920
it's hard for me to meet outsiders.

253
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:07,200
Even if being a parent,

254
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,720
one can't force
or restrict their children.

255
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,320
But the Xuanjian Division

256
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,000
has no authority over this matter.

257
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,520
No.

258
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,440
In fact, my father is nice.

259
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,640
He's good to the family
and the younger generation.

260
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,160
He is an official
in the Ministry of Personnel

261
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,200
and has many disciples.

262
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,560
He is also beneficial to their careers.

263
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,240
Mr. Mei, I'd like to ask

264
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,800
if you are willing
to be my father's disciple.

265
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,360
Then both sides can get even closer.

266
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Xuanjian Division
is beyond the Six Ministries.

267
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,160
If I get involved
with officials in the Six Ministries,

268
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,560
there may be suspicions of factionalism.

269
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,560
Moreover, the cases
of the Xuanjian Division

270
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,040
are different from others.

271
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,560
How about just considering me?

272
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Ms. Xie, what do you mean?

273
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Mr. Mei, you have
an outstanding demeanor.

274
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,040
The first time we meet,
you make me delighted.

275
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,080
I would like to ask

276
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,520
whether you have feelings for me.

277
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,640
Thank you for your appreciation.

278
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,000
But I don't have such affection.

279
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Do you hate me?

280
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Ms. Xie, we have only met a few times.

281
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,320
Why would I hate you?

282
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,480
But my family and background
are both outstanding.

283
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,640
Why don't you have feelings for me?

284
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,400
Sorry.

285
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:33,920
Mr. Mei, do you refuse to explain?

286
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,080
I just think that
if I really like someone,

287
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,880
it should have nothing to do
with external conditions.

288
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,000
Ms. Xie, I don't have
any feelings for you.

289
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,720
Mr. Mei, don't get me wrong.

290
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,560
I have learned women's virtue well
since I was young.

291
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,840
And my family is strict with me.

292
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,160
So I won't pester you,

293
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,240
unlike the unruly Princess
of Qinghe County.

294
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,800
Whether it's unruly

295
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,200
or outrageous,

296
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,960
everyone has their own way of living.

297
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Ms. Wu also has her merits.

298
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,200
You don't have affection for me,

299
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,440
so could it be you want
to be a princess consort?

300
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,760
I just don't agree with your words.

301
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,960
It seems the rumors outside are false.

302
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,480
Mr. Mei, you are pretty close

303
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,880
to the Princess of Qinghe County.

304
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,320
You just got promoted as a chief,

305
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
but you've already become
arrogant and dismissive.

306
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,400
If I let my father
report something about you...

307
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,400
Ms. Xie, mind your words.

308
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Don't lose your temper.

309
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,760
Why are you here?

310
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Did you plan it together
to make a fool of me?

311
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,480
Ms. Xie, what's going on?

312
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,880
Xie is timid.

313
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,920
My Lady, please spare her

314
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,480
and stop scaring her.

315
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,000
I didn't.

316
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,560
But just now, she...

317
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,680
She brought Mr. Xie's words

318
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,520
and praised Mr. Mei,

319
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,160
saying that he'll have a bright future.

320
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,680
As the Vice Minister
of the Ministry of Personnel,

321
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,840
Mr. Xie indeed has more discernment
than those mediocre ones.

322
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,400
Mr. Mei.

323
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,800
Would you appreciate the lanterns
together with me?

324
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,800
Alright.

325
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,520
Master Shuangjiang.

326
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,960
Do you have any wishes?

327
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Slay and eliminate demons!

328
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Well, how do you spell "slay"?

329
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,040
"Slay" of "slaying demons"?

330
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,640
I don't know.

331
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,880
Don't you have any serious desires?

332
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Serious...

333
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,800
[Become rich]

334
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:24,040
Here you are.

335
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,680
So?

336
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,120
What wish did you make?

337
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Of course, it was to become a pair

338
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,120
with Ms. Liu at last.

339
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,920
[May Mei and Liu be a pair at last]

340
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,720
Mei Si.

341
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,440
You released so many Sky Lanterns.

342
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,200
Well, it's a long journey for them,

343
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,240
and some accidents might happen.

344
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,200
So I released many of them,

345
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,320
and at least one of them
can be seen by God.

346
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,720
I don't know if God can see it

347
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800
But Ms. Liu has surely seen it.

348
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,280
I wonder what wish

349
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,440
Ms. Liu has made.

350
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,800
Si.

351
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Zhen.

352
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,960
[Get lost, Mei Si]
Is that Ms. Liu's?

353
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,760
Just get used to it.

354
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,240
Zhen.

355
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,320
At least, Ms. Liu thought about me

356
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,720
when she released the lantern.

357
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Won't you release one?

358
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,120
I'm not a child.
Why would I still believe it?

359
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,160
It's not a big deal if you believe it.

360
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Even a big guy like Huang Yi

361
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,120
released two of them.

362
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,200
He wished to start a family.

363
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,200
Don't use violence.

364
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,240
Huang.

365
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Compared to making a wish to the heavens
by releasing Sky Lanterns,

366
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,640
it's better to turn to a matchmaker.

367
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,880

to sent her junior to the Demon Prison?

548

552
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Do you really want to kill me?

553
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,760
For an outsider,

554
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,360
you actually want to kill me.

555
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,160
Father!

556
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,160

Sister!

558
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,800
Don't leave me behind. Sister...

Wu Zhen!

575
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,600
I have given Mr. Mei the medicine.

576
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,040
It can temporarily
calm his mind and relieve the pain.

577
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,400
As for his injuries,
he has to rest for a while.

578
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,200
After all, the city wall was high,

579
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,000
and he fell down holding you, My Lady.

580
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,720
That's why his leg was badly injured.

581
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,320
I'm afraid it might cause
lasting problems in the future.

582
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:55,520
Mingzhuang.

00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,520
kept many precious herbs
in his collection.

585
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,480
Search with the Imperial Physician

586
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,360
and see what can be used.

587
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,600
Is that Xuan Hui tonight?

588
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,000
It's him,

589
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,080
the black serpent
who should have been in prison.

590
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,560
Why did he get out again?

591
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,920
Snake Lord went to deal with him.
We'll know it when he's caught.

592
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,320
Ms. Wu!
