192
00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:19,460
Any mistake spells disaster.

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,730
Even so,

194
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,220
he still plays weiqi with us.

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,250
That's truly admirable.

196
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,610
You see.

197
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:34,610
Here's the thing.

198
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:36,340
Next time you talk about me,

199
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,890
could you drop the "weiqi bum" part?

200
00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:39,250
Yes, yes, yes.

201
00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:40,490
Yes, yes, yes.

202
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:44,420
This matter won't end peacefully today.

203
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,180
You'd better prepare yourself.

204
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,220
Alright, go on now.

205
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:52,250
Were you talking ill of me just now?

206
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,850
No, not at all.

207
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,940
Li Changshou!

208
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:14,650
Pay with your life for my disciple!

209
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,100
He is just a junior, weak and alone.

210
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:19,890
How could he withstand
your strike?

211
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,890
Weak?

212
00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:22,820
He's not weak at all.

213
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,180
And there's something sinister
about him.

214
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,730
Otherwise, how would Yuan Qing
fall into his hands?

215
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:29,370
Uncle.

216
00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:31,300
Uncle, spare me! Uncle!

217
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:33,250
My disciple Xuanya

218
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,730
has reported
the full account of this case.

219
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:38,220
Yuan Qing brought this upon himself.

220
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,460
A one-sided story can hardly be trusted.

221
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:42,220
Maybe Youqin Xuanya

222
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,580
colluded with this kid

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,820
to frame my disciple.

224
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,610
Kuai Si!

225
00:10:46,030 --> 00:10:47,100
You're twisting the truth.

226
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,940
Li Changshou,

227
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,060
I don't think you can

228
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,820
harm my disciple?

229
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,180
If you confess honestly,

230
00:10:57,270 --> 00:10:59,130
I won't make things hard for you.

231
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,460
Tell the truth!

232
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,490
What role did Youqin Xuanya

233
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:04,490
play in this case?

234
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:05,980
Well, Kuai Si.

235
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:07,940
While the Grandlord is away,

236
00:11:08,030 --> 00:11:09,820
you want to lead the Sect?

237
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,420
Xuanya is virtuous and upright.

238
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,420
Changshou is law-abiding.

239
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,420
These two are no troublemakers.

240
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,010
What if you misjudged them?

241
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:17,580
You...

242
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,460
Junior Kuai, speak plainly.

243
00:11:19,790 --> 00:11:21,700
How do you want to handle this?

244
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,580
Good.

245
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,580
That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

246
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,250
Li Changshou.

247
00:11:31,270 --> 00:11:32,010
This is...

248
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,010
Dare you test this Flameheart Stone?

249
00:11:35,510 --> 00:11:37,730
This stone hasn't been used
in a century.

250
00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:39,460
You want to extract
Li Changshou's memory?

251
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,370
Exactly.

252
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:43,220
I want him to bare his soul in public

253
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,770
and expose his secrets.

254
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,580
Uncle, must it come to this?

255
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:47,130
I...

256
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:48,530
The Flameheart Stone

257
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,730
has always been our sect's method

258
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:52,420
for interrogating criminals.

259
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,820
Li Changshou, if your testimony

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,130
doesn't match your memory,

261
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,650
your heart will suffer scorching pain.

262
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:04,490
That is going too far.

263
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,850
You insist on shielding

264
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:08,980
the evildoer at every turn.

265
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,940
I have no other choice.

266
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,530
The Flameheart Stone

267
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:17,370
may reveal one's private thoughts.

268
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:20,420
You would make Changshou

269
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,980
lay bare every thought before all,

270
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,730
to be stripped and judged.

271
00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:26,010
How is he to face himself after this?

272
00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:26,770
Exactly.

273
00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:28,340
That's right.

274
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:31,820
It must be before all eyes.

275
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:33,940
You...

276
00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:40,130
Disciples outside the hall, listen.

277
00:12:40,270 --> 00:12:41,580
Bear witness together.

278
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,370
Let us see what this disciple

279
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,460
of Jade Division truly is.

280
00:12:52,460 --> 00:12:55,140
[Enlighten and Clear]

281
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,250
Senior,

282
00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:03,180
I'm sorry.

283
00:13:27,630 --> 00:13:28,610
It's not contagious.

284
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:38,100
Senior,

285
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,850
don't overdo it now.

286
00:13:48,670 --> 00:13:49,980
Spring has come.

287
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,220
It's mating season for the wolves again.

288
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,850
Stop.

289
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,220
I said to recall, not to compose poetry.

290
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,370
That was my inner voice at the time.

291
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:02,370
I can't shake it off.

292
00:14:04,630 --> 00:14:05,490
Go on.

293
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:06,220
Okay.

294
00:14:09,270 --> 00:14:10,580
Yuan Qing of Mistveil Division,

295
00:14:10,670 --> 00:14:12,060
my perfect Senior.

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,250
He honors his mentor and the Way.

297
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:16,370
Even if my mentor were here,

298
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,100
it'd be nothing special.

299
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,250
He's long been of no use.

300
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,530
He can bend and stretch.

301
00:14:30,510 --> 00:14:32,580
A last struggle.

302
00:14:32,910 --> 00:14:35,130
Junior Changshou, please.

303
00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:36,820
Please save me.

304
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,980
He is pure and detached.

305
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:41,850
A male disciple assaulted
a female disciple,

306
00:14:41,870 --> 00:14:44,420
and they both perished.

307
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,130
That's my clan's grand wish.

308
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,130
He owns his actions.

309
00:14:53,270 --> 00:14:54,060
Indeed.

310
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,890
Yuwen Ling is indeed my accomplice.

311
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,980
He's concerned for others.

312
00:15:06,270 --> 00:15:07,850
I wonder how Xuanya is faring.

313
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,370
If she is safe and sound,

314
00:15:10,390 --> 00:15:11,370
how can I

315
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,250
rest easy?

316
00:15:16,670 --> 00:15:18,650
I wasted my regard on Yuan Qing.

317
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:19,010
Pah.

318
00:15:19,390 --> 00:15:21,010
We can't judge the book by its cover.

319
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,490
Yes, yes, yes.

320
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:24,250
Xuanya,

321
00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:26,010
is that really what happened?

322
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,770
So, Yuan Qing's words
can be read like this.

323
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,010
Senior sees the truth in details.

324
00:15:32,270 --> 00:15:33,850
Truly a model for us all.

325
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:35,530
This man is absolutely disgusting.

326
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:39,490
Sister, Aunt, you don't know.

327
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:42,010
In this world, there exists a supreme,

328
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,580
mystical art.

329
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,060
What mystical art?

330
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,490
I've never heard of it.
Tell us about it.

331
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:50,420
It is called the Montage Art.

332
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,890
Junior.

333
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:05,460
My mentor has a secret.

334
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,180
I can't take it to the grave.

335
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,460
Do you want to know?

336
00:16:13,150 --> 00:16:13,940
Wretched creature!

337
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:15,370
Even death is too lenient.

338
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,220
What are you all looking at?

339
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,220
All of you, leave!

340
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,130
Alright, now it's quite clear.

341
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:23,890
Yuan Qing

342
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,180
got what he deserved.

343
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,980
In contrast, Xuanya and Changshou,

344
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,980
in times of peril,

345
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,650
stayed true to their hearts.

346
00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:33,650
They're not only blameless,
but meritorious.

347
00:16:34,510 --> 00:16:35,370
I'm ashamed.

348
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,490
Deeply ashamed.

349
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,610
Changshou,

350
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,130
it seems

351
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,650
I owe you a proper apology.

352
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:44,940
No, no need, Uncle.

353
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:45,770
Changshou,

354
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,980
before Yuan Qing died,

355
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:50,580
what secret did he tell you?

356
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:51,770
What secret?

357
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,730
He told me...

358
00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:55,370
He did say something.

359
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:56,180
What did he say?

360
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,300
He said...

361
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,820
He said...

362
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,180
He...

363
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:08,050
Then...

364
00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:08,940
And then?

365
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,050
Then...

366
00:17:11,790 --> 00:17:13,660
Then the python swallowed him.

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,420
The python...

368
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,330
Did he leave anything behind?

369
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,700
Anything you took?

370
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,140
Such as?

371
00:17:24,270 --> 00:17:25,700
Magic instruments, hidden weapons.

372
00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:27,290
What?

373
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,010
Magic instruments, hidden weapons.

374
00:17:34,270 --> 00:17:35,380
Magic instruments, hidden weapons?

375
00:17:37,030 --> 00:17:37,860
No, no.

376
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,660
Truly?

377
00:17:38,830 --> 00:17:39,620
Truly none.

378
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,050
Had I found any magic instruments
or weapons,

379
00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:42,530
I'd return them with both hands.

380
00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:46,290
What an honest man you are.

381
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:50,050
They all say you're honest.

382
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:51,090
Yes, yes, honest.

383
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:51,490
Move aside.

384
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:52,250
Yes, yes.

385
00:17:53,790 --> 00:17:55,570
But I know

386
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,770
that no one settles
for just being honest.

387
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,700
It's just

388
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,570
they haven't met the right price, right?

389
00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:05,420
Price?

390
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,660
What price?

391
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,090
You're as foolish as your mentor.

392
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,090
To be in the same sect as you

393
00:18:10,110 --> 00:18:11,730
is truly my disgrace.

394
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,050
Uncle.

395
00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:15,090
Uncle, I remember now.

396
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:16,490
I think I had a belt.

397
00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:18,090
But it seems I dropped it.

398
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,010
Why are you still frowning?

399
00:18:22,030 --> 00:18:23,330
What are your concerns?

400
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,050
There's one thing I don't understand.

401
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,380
Within the Miasma Grove,

402
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,900
beasts clash; their life is short.

403
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,660
No such python should be born here.

404
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:36,980
This python is suspicious.

405
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,700
It seems like a pet raised by someone.

406
00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:41,980
If it was raised

407
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:45,380
by the Human Sect,

408
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,330
that would be one thing.

409
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,490
What I fear

410
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,570
is it's linked to our dear neighbors.

411
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,940
You mean...

412
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:54,660
Dragons?

413
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,460
[Dragon Palace of the East Sea]

414
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,420
Bao'er.

415
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:30,860
Bao'er...

416
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,220
I raised Bao'er for ten years,

417
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,490
and now it's dead.

418
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,180
Who did this?

419
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,660
[Yecha, Dragon General]

420
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:43,140
[Jinli, Dragon General]

421
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:44,140
Say it.

422
00:19:46,270 --> 00:19:47,180
It's over.

423
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,330
Ascendance Sect!

424
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:57,180
I have verified.

425
00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:58,660
Jingwei Island and Miasma Grove

426
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,900
are both Ascendance Sect's
training grounds this time.

427
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:03,090
Your Highness, please calm down.

428
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:08,290
They injured my shrimp soldiers,

429
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,490
harmed my crab generals,

430
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:12,920
[Ao Jia, First Prince of East Sea]

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,620
and killed my beloved pet Bao'er.

432
00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:17,940
This is an outrage!

433
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:22,900
Who?

434
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,460
Good.

435
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,250
Very good.

436
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:29,460
Good, good.

437
00:20:35,780 --> 00:20:39,620
[Ao Guang, Dragon King of East Sea]

438
00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:40,700
Good.

439
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,290
Enough with that, Father.

440
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:44,620
Those scoundrels

441
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:46,460
are about to dump all over us.

442
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,090
Stop

443
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,620
saying that.

444
00:20:50,590 --> 00:20:51,980
They're about to dump?

445
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,770
That means they haven't dumped yet.

446
00:20:54,510 --> 00:20:55,700
Since they haven't dumped yet,

447
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,250
it's still human-dragon harmony.

448
00:20:58,270 --> 00:20:59,010
What's wrong with that?

449
00:20:59,030 --> 00:20:59,700
They...

450
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,490
Enough.

451
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,050
Jia,

452
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,420
for the greater good, just bear with it.

453
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,810
[Turtle Minister]
Your foresight is unmatched.

454
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,530
Yes, only Father has great vision.

455
00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:15,570
And I'm the petty one.

456
00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:18,810
It seems Jia is still upset.

457
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,490
Perfect timing.

458
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:21,250
I have an errand for you.

459
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:23,660
Take a trip to cheer yourself up.

460
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:24,940
Father,

461
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,530
I'm in no mood for any official duties.

462
00:21:28,350 --> 00:21:29,090
I'm not going.

463
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,490
If I send you

464
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:45,220
to the Ascendance Sect?

465
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,460
The Ascendance Sect? I...

466
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,980
The Ascendance Sect?

467
00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:54,860
Sure.

468
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,250
Good.

469
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,180
Judging by your expression,

470
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,010
I guess it was a close call.

471
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,700
You don't understand.

472
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,700
We Three Pure Ones disciples

473
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,050
always wear the same expression.

474
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:15,490
Not at all.

475
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,050
Kuai Si always has such a sour face,

476
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:19,570
as if someone owes him money.

477
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,140
Today, Kuai Si was arrogant and rude.

478
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,010
His cunning was on full display.

479
00:22:25,790 --> 00:22:27,050
We'll put stability first.

480
00:22:27,070 --> 00:22:28,770
Don't get tangled up with him.

481
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:30,050
What?

482
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:31,810
You clearly had it easy.

483
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:33,050
You had him under control.

484
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,700
Not really.

485
00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:36,940
Do you know

486
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,380
why Mentor fell so hard back then?

487
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,530
I do.

488
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,420
I heard that back then, Mentor

489
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,980
was originally a top immortal seedling.

490
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,620
He even surpassed Kuai Si.

491
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,220
Unfortunately,

492
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,290
at the Training Assembly 60 years ago,

493
00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:49,420
an accident happened,

494
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,660
which ruined his foundation
and hope for ascension.

495
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:56,330
Ruined his foundation?

496
00:22:58,270 --> 00:22:59,180
The Gnatsting Needle?

497
00:22:59,350 --> 00:23:00,140
Exactly.

498
00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:03,140
In that trip to the Miasma Forest,

499
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,220
Mentor and Kuai Si went together.

500
00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:07,490
I just found out now

501
00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:10,570
that it was a plot.

502

The Mistveil Division!

503
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,660
So, it's a tradition.

504
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,980
I'm going to avenge Mentor.

505
00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:20,940
Didn't we agree to steady?

506
00:23:21,310 --> 00:23:22,380
You want more scripture copying?

507
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,220
But our mentor was bullied.
How can we ignore it?

508
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,900
A thousand times.

509
00:23:32,030 --> 00:23:33,050
A thousand times?

510
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,810
I'll get Mentor to write it for me.
